The two people who appeared in front of the official road were obviously dressed as pioneers.
One of them was a white-haired old man dressed as a boxer, and the other was a young man with two swords on his waist. Both of them were covered in scars, and the young swordsman was more seriously injured in comparison.
The half-armor on his body was almost completely destroyed, and he had lost consciousness. He was only able to stand upright with the support of the old boxer.
At this time, when he saw the carriage on the official road in the distance, the old boxer waved his left hand vigorously to greet them.
"Is there something wrong?"
Gu Chen's heart sank and he immediately drove over.
Pioneers are active on the front line against wild monsters all year round, and can be said to be one of the most dangerous professions in the Chenghuang Kingdom. There are several cases of pioneer groups that suffer heavy losses or even die due to lack of strength or bad luck almost every month.
However, the old boxer and double swordsman in front of them did not seem to be inexperienced rookies, and it was probably unusual for them to suffer such heavy losses.
"Need help?"
Gu Chen's carriage approached the old boxer and leaned over to ask.
"Brother, please take us back to Liyang City, the sooner the better."
The old boxer was not polite. He threw the seriously injured and unconscious double swordsman into the back of the carriage, and then he jumped up. Judging from the agility of the old boxer, the old boxer's injuries were probably not as serious as they appeared.
You don't need to look at it to tell that the condition of your companion Dual Swordsman is quite bad.
Gu Chen was about to ask them if they wanted Xiao Yu Shui to restore blood, but he saw the old boxer suddenly took a sharp breath, and then raised his right palm to slap the double swordsman in the chest. The old boxer didn't use much force on the palm, but it was a slap.
The swordsman who was attacking coughed several times, and his expression became much relieved.
"What?"
Gu Chen, who was steering the cage car around over there, was slightly frightened.
Ordinary people may not be able to see anything, but his pure eyes can look directly at the Spiritual Brahma. In Gu Chen's eyes, the old boxer's right palm suddenly gathered a dense Spiritual Brahma, and poured into the double swordsman's body with the force of the palm.
In the body, it will produce a healing effect similar to Xiaohe Shui.
Gu Chen had never heard of such a healing technique, and he couldn't help but wonder how many mysteries were hidden in Chenghuang's other world.
On the other hand, the old boxer also looked tired after taking that slap, and immediately sat cross-legged in the cage to regain his breath. The old boxer frowned while recovering, and looked at the southwest corner from time to time.
"Old senior, what happened? Are there any monsters causing trouble?"
Gu Chen asked in a low voice while thinking about the geography of the southwest corner.
"It's more serious than that." The old boxer gasped and responded in a hoarse voice.
"It's 'Desolate Erosion' that swallowed up the entire Hunhou Palace."
……………………
It was a very rare experience for Wu Zhen to visit the Fusi Building twice in three days, but judging from the urgent tone of the acting city lord's summons, it seemed that there was something quite urgent. When Wu Zhen hurriedly stepped into the city lord's room, the scene was
The situation made her suspect that she had underestimated the seriousness of the situation.
At this moment, in addition to the one-eyed female hero who acts as the city lord, there are several people standing in the city lord's room.
The fat scribe with a mustache is Li Ru, the city lord's deputy, and a veteran retainer who has served the Wu family for generations. As for the one-armed man in military uniform standing next to Li Ru, he is Cao Xiu, the commander of the Bingcao Division. Cao Xiu is also accompanying him.
Li Yang, a warrior who had led several famines and catastrophes, had his left arm bitten off by a monster in a brutal defensive battle a few years ago, so he had to withdraw from the front lines and use his leadership skills in the rear.
Li Ru and Cao Xiu were important civil and military leaders in Liyang City. Their simultaneous appearance meant that the situation was extraordinary. There was also another old man present that Wu Zhen had never seen before. The old man was dressed as a pioneer, and his two fists were armored.
It shows that he is a boxer who is good at fighting skills. Judging from his strong aura, he is definitely not an unknown person.
"Huh?" Wu Zhen was stunned for a moment when he noticed the striking white hair on the old man's head. When he saw the ape tail wrapped around his waist, he suddenly had an idea in his mind. "Could it be that the senior is one of the Eight Horses?"
"Flying Ape', Yuan Fei Yuan Senior?"
"Hey, the Eight Horsemen is a title given to young people, and the old man can no longer afford it." The old boxer waved his hand casually, not denying it.
After hearing Wu Zhen's introduction, Li Ru and Cao Xiu looked at each other in surprise, and their faces suddenly became serious. Previously, they only knew that the old boxer was a pioneer who came to report the disaster. Now that the other party has the background of one of the Eight Horses, then
The credibility of its report has skyrocketed.
"What happened?"
Li Ru and Cao Xiu's expressions also made Wu Zhen's heart sink. At this moment, the important civil and military towns in Liyang City were gathered, and the Shentail Feiyu was present. Wu Zhen could basically deduce that something happened in the outer domain. But even so, the next acting city lord
The facts announced by her mouth still exceeded the female secretary's speculation.
"Desolation has occurred." Wu Yan's cold announcement was mixed with a low roar like a wounded beast. "Hunhou Li Palace was swallowed up by desolation and has now been confirmed to have turned into a 'Chaos Ruins'. It is less than two days away from Liyang City.
Distance, you should know what this means."
"Desolation and Chaos Ruins?"
The moment he understood the two words, Wu Zhen's face turned livid.
The phenomenon of drastic changes in the physical phase of a certain area caused by abnormal siltation of Spiritual Brahma is called "Desolation", and the occurrence of "Chaos Ruins" is the worst type of various situations caused by desolation. The original Chaos Ruins
The steadily flowing Spiritual Brahma will cause complete chaos, turning the entire area into a labyrinth filled with chaos and madness, and even the most experienced pioneers will not dare to set foot there casually.
The area turned into Chaos Ruins will greatly change the landscape, and its chaotic spiritual surges will attract the surrounding spiritual beings like a whirlpool in the reef, and then become the source of disasters that continuously produce wild monsters.
For example, half a century ago, "Chaos Xu" appeared in a northern territory, but the territory was negligent and failed to deal with it in time. As a result, within half a year, Chaos Xu rapidly expanded its territory, and two years later, the entire territory became uninhabitable.
The wilderness, and triggered a wave of refugees that shook the Shangli countries.
Moreover, the Hunhou Li Palace is not far from the main city of Liyang. The impact of the Chaos Ruins there on the Liyang Territory will definitely be far greater than that of the Northern Territory. Not to mention that the Liyang Territory is now fully preparing for the coming active period, and the emergence of Chaos Ruins in the Territory will not be possible at all.
It’s a situation that’s getting worse.
"Is this news true?"
Wu Zhen finally recovered and subconsciously wanted to confirm the accuracy of the news.
The person who brought the news was a high-ranking pioneer who ranked among the Eight Horses. It would be quite rude for Wu Zhen to question, but the old boxer could probably understand the mood of the female secretary. He nodded immediately and confirmed the situation again in a heavy tone.
"It's true. When our group was stationed in the camp in Houhou Liguan, the 'Desolation' suddenly occurred. At that time, the entire area was undergoing drastic changes as if it came to life. One of our companions was also involved... Me and another person
We barely broke through the siege, but Hunhou Palace has become completely different from before."
"The cavalry has been sent to confirm, and the news will be available as soon as the evening." Wu Yan, the acting city lord, glanced at everyone and finalized the issue. "The situation is urgent. It will be too late to discuss countermeasures after confirmation, so I summoned all the ministers to come.
Let’s discuss. Let’s assume that Mr. Yuan’s report is accurate and let’s see how we should respond.”
