As soon as the order was given, the Liangjing army, which had lost patience and was feeling tired, immediately cheered up.
The generals straightened their waists and scolded the soldiers who were lazy and resting.
The weakness of the Liangjing army has been swept away!
The three tomb-keepers are also carrying out the orders of the chief tomb-keeper, ordering the intelligence spies to be alert and alert to the demons that may appear at any time.
Beside the lake.
After receiving the order, the eight gravekeepers immediately cheered up and slapped their faces vigorously to clear their heads.
The seventh gravekeeper lay drowsily on the stone and said casually: "Don't be so serious, there are others watching, what are we in a hurry for?"
The eighth tombkeeper said: "Be serious, the news of the demon invasion must be sent back as soon as possible, there can be no mistakes."
"Tch!" The seven gravekeepers didn't take it seriously.
There were so many people watching, but there was no shortage of them both.
Gulu——
Suddenly, a string of bubbles emerged from the calm bottom of the lake without warning, and a small flower exploded on the surface of the water.
The eight gravekeepers immediately tensed up and stared at the lake without blinking.
Then, there was another string of bubbles.
The other spies all started to get nervous.
They had been observing for a whole day but did not see a single bubble. Now two suddenly appeared. There must be something abnormal.
Puff puff puff——
Suddenly, dense bubbles appeared from under the entire lake, numbering in the millions.
They rose up from the bottom of the water and exploded on the surface, making the entire lake seem to be boiling and filled with dense water splashes!
"No! Send the message back quickly!" The eight tombkeepers exclaimed and immediately stepped back.
However, at the moment of retreat, an even greater shocking change occurred!
From under the lake, black steel needles the size of a finger were shot out without any warning.
They are densely packed and shooting towards any corner around the lake.
Ahhhh!
In an instant, a large number of secret agents were recruited.
Some were shot in vital parts, and some were shot in the eyes. Among them, the seven gravekeepers lay carelessly on the rocks, exposing too many parts of their bodies.
Not only was a black steel needle inserted deeply into his right eye, there were more than ten steel needles inserted into his body.
With a roar of pain, the seven gravekeepers rolled down from the stones.
Because the eight gravekeepers noticed it in time, they took a few steps back. All the steel needles were blocked by stones and could not hurt him.
He was startled and looked around. Almost all the spies were under attack.
Some were already dead, but those who were not killed were all paralyzed and unable to move because the black steel needles contained certain toxins.
In the entire lakeside, he was the only one left who could move in an instant.
His heart was beating fast, and he quickly pulled the seven gravekeepers not far away, carried him and ran away.
While running, he took out the Jade Jue of Communication and tried to send the message back.
However, because it is too close to the gate of hell, the demonic energy here is extremely strong, so the message is cut off, and you have to walk a few miles to the outside.
Ba Shou's heart was as heavy as water and his heart was beating wildly.
The expected plan is that when an abnormal situation is discovered, all spies will run to the outside.
Even if the demons are chasing them, there are always one or two of them who can successfully deliver the message.
But in the end, he was the only one left!
While he was frightened, he was also worried about whether he could successfully escape to the outer area and deliver the news.
At that time.
Military camp tent.
It's already night time now.
Millions of troops have been waiting since early morning, but they have yet to see the legendary demon army.
The entire army is already in a very tired state. After all, the energy can last for a whole day. Who can bear it?
Several commanders in the military camp were even more dissatisfied.
Although he didn't dare to ask for a break, he still muttered something from time to time, and occasionally glanced at Xia Qingchen, showing deep disgust and disgust.
Even the tomb guards couldn't sit still.
The third gravekeeper had a sullen face: "Commander Xia, can you repeat the detailed process of how you obtained that information? My people have not sent back any news of the demonic invasion so far."
Xia Qingchen glanced at the motionless message jade formula in his hand, and said calmly: "I have nothing to comment on what I have already said."
"You!" said the third tomb guard: "Do you know how much responsibility you will bear if the intelligence is wrong?"
Xia Qingchen said confidently: "Don't worry, the demons will come soon!"
A large-scale operation involving an army of millions of demons cannot be canceled just as easily.
Even if the demons know that they have obtained the core secret, they can only bite the bullet and attack.
Demons are unruly creatures and usually disobey discipline. It is not easy to bring them together.
If the battle is postponed, the demon army will only quickly collapse.
If we want to gather them again to reach millions, we don't know how many years it will take.
So, no matter what, they will act.
"Your journey is very fast and very long!" the three gravekeepers said with a cold face.
Suddenly, the message jade secret he placed on the table suddenly rang!
The already lax senior management suddenly had a clever idea and all tightened their nerves.
The three gravekeepers also hurriedly checked the contents of the message. With a click of their fingers, a very rapid sound was immediately released.
"The secret agents were wiped out, the entire army..."
The sound stopped abruptly after a burst of piercing screams!
The camp also fell into a deathly silence.
There are so many spies, and they are all composed of masters. What does it mean if the entire army is wiped out?
It means that the demons have taken action!
And it came with a ferocity that exceeded everyone's expectations.
The tomb guard stood up and scolded several Liangjing commanders who were in a daze: "Why are you dazed? Why don't you hurry up and take charge?"
Several complaining commanders were shaken so hard that they hurriedly ran to their respective army camps to sit down.
King Zhongyun stood up, looked up to the sky and smiled: "Everyone! The fate of mankind depends on me! I will take the first step!"
In the end, only Xia Qingchen and a few gravekeepers were left at the scene.
Xia Qingchen hesitated for a moment and said, "If you don't have enough manpower, you can inform me. I still have a hundred thousand troops available."
He just mentioned it casually and had no intention of competing with them for credit.
But as soon as the words came out, they felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and they became extremely excited.
The three tomb guards opened their mouths and refuted: "No! Let your people stand still and never send troops!"
The gravekeeper even scolded Xia Qingchen categorically: "Don't act rashly! Follow the arrangements of the Human Alliance!"
Although the other tombkeepers didn't say anything, they looked more nervous than anyone else.
They knew Xia Qingchen's abilities so well that if they really let him participate, what else would this contribution mean to them?
Xia Qingchen shrugged helplessly: "Okay, then I will go to the logistics and wait for the good news from you all."
He stepped out of the camp. Before leaving, he remembered something and said, "By the way, I learned from a source that the Yu family has colluded with the demon world and has a very broad conspiracy. You'd better be careful."
The gravekeeper was not happy when the Yu family was mentioned.
It can be seen that he has a deep friendship with the Yu family, or has some special interests.
Otherwise, the tomb keeper would not protect Di Guiyi so much and would make him a youth commander at any cost to help him increase his prestige.
Now I suddenly heard that Xia Qingchen said that the Yu family was colluding with the demon world, and I was immediately unhappy: "Is there any evidence for what you said?"
Xia Qingchen thought about the dead Jin Xuanshi and said helplessly: "Death has no evidence."
The gravekeeper said indifferently: "If there is no evidence, don't mention it less. Remember, fighting against the demons is not a tool for you to eliminate dissidents!"
