Langya City.*Remember in one second*
"Boom!"
The stone slabs shook, and a war horse with its mane hunting and screaming galloped past the street in front of the inn. The soldier on the horse leaned forward with eager eyes, and disappeared at the end of the street in just a moment.
"So fast! I've never seen them in such a hurry before!"
On the railing of the inn, a customer stuck his head out and muttered.
"No! Look there, the patrolling soldiers are also rushing to the school grounds."
Nearby, another middle-aged man who looked like a businessman echoed.
"Huh?"
Suddenly there was an exclamation, and among the crowds on both sides of the street, no one knew who was exclaiming:
"No! Not just him, all the soldiers and soldiers are rushing towards the school ground!"
One of the words immediately caused the crowd to exclaim. If you look carefully, you can see that in the Langya City, the streets are criss-crossed like a chessboard. On the streets, groups of patrolling soldiers are rushing to the northwest of the center of the city.
"The imperial court has just suffered a new defeat. I'm afraid something big has happened!"
The crowd was in an uproar, and an invisible fear spread among the crowd.
In the school field in the west of the city, densely packed soldiers were now standing in orderly array on the school field.
Everyone looked serious, as if waiting for something.
"Boom!"
I don’t know how long it took, but the ground suddenly began to hum and vibrate. This vibration was not obvious at first, but in just the blink of an eye, it intensified to an unbelievable level.
The entire Langya City felt this tremor as far away as possible.
"boom!"
Suddenly, the sky darkened and a huge shadow cast down from the sky.
"Look there!"
On the street, a child playing against the wall looked up into the sky in horror. His five delicate fingers pointed straight into the sky.
I saw deep in the sky. Where it met the dark clouds, I don't know when a huge battleship appeared. The battleship was made of hard steel, silver-white in body, and emitted a burning light. It stretched across Langya City like an extremely heavy mountain.
In the void above.
At the top of the battleship, several huge pipes like chimneys pointed straight into the sky, spitting out billowing smoke. And at the bow of the ship, two large steel pillars, mainly red and black, were colorful, with two king poles on them.
The flag has two bold and domineering characters written on it:
"Taiyi!"
Next to the king's flag, a dazzling red light shines on the heaven and earth like the sun. And deep in the red light, a god-like general appears.
"Tianzhou! It's Tianzhou! The imperial court sent Tianzhou!"
After a short period of silence, an experienced merchant shouted excitedly. Within a few breaths, the entire Langya City cheered.
"Master Wang! Master Wang!..."
The deafening sound soared into the sky. At a time when the imperial court was newly defeated and four thousand elite soldiers were killed in battle, Tianzhou's appearance was like a centering needle, anchoring the entire Langya City.
"Tianzhou" symbolizes the most powerful military power of the Han Dynasty and is the collective name for all these most powerful warships!
According to rumors, these heavenly boats are forged with the royal family's special talisman steel, and are blended with the essence, blood and hair of the Martial Saint. They can easily collapse mountains and earth, and are the most famous masterpieces of the imperial court's Ministry of Industry and Ministry of War.
When the worldly ships conquered the rivers and seas, these powerful "heavenly ships" faced the journey of the sky and the stars.
With thousands of sky boats, the Han Dynasty could transport huge armies to all corners of the world without being restricted by terrain. This was also one of the means by which the Han Dynasty suppressed the world.
However, all Tianzhou are under the direct command of Zhoufu and must have the signature of the "Prince of Zhoufu", otherwise they cannot be mobilized.
Generally, Tianzhou will not be used easily unless something major happens.
No one thought that this kind of country-governing weapon would actually appear here.
"Buzz!"
The earth was silent, and under the gaze of thousands of people, the huge "Sky Boat" slowly descended from the sky, spitting out billowing smoke.
Its body was so huge that just the shadow it cast enveloped the entire school grounds.
If you look carefully, you can see two huge seal characters on both sides of the battleship: "Giant Shark"!
boom!
The huge battleship stopped when it was dozens of feet above the ground.
"General, Langya City has arrived!"
On the battleship, a young soldier exuding the aura of a blood furnace suddenly shouted in a loud voice. He held a halberd in both hands, his body was straight, but his eyes were looking at the figure in the dazzling red light at the bow of the ship.
"knew."
A majestic voice said calmly.
"boom!"
A moment later, a shiny silver military boot stepped down from the side of the ship with a rumble. The moment the sole of its foot landed, the entire giant ship weighing tens of millions of kilograms suddenly sank, as if it could not bear this simple step.
Almost like flipping over.
"Langya County is finally back!"
The wind was howling, and Yang Xuanlan stood on the side of the battleship "Giant Shark" with his long hair flying, overlooking the entire Langya City. Those sharp eyes were majestic, like light and electricity, revealing a huge aura.
It is deeper and more powerful than "Yi Xiantian".
More than half a year ago, Yang Xuanlan was just a "military examiner" in Xinke, but when he reappeared, he was already a general in the imperial court.
"...From now on, this is my new journey!"
A flash of lightning flashed in Yang Xuanlan's mind, and a powerful aura burst out from his tall and handsome body. When the soldiers on the surrounding battleships saw it, they all lowered their heads, with expressions of sincerity on their faces.
Only those who followed him knew how prominent the young-looking general in front of them was in Zhou Mansion.
What kind of miracles he created in half a year are enough for many people to look up to him throughout their lives.
"Boom!"
The light flashed, and in a trance, a blur of lightning passed through the void and landed in the center of the school ground. Amidst the roar, the ground shook, and before everyone could react, Yang Xuanlan had already passed through a hundred feet of space, like a cannonball in an instant
Appeared above the school grounds.
Behind him, a huge cloak danced like a powerful god.
"See General!"
In the loud voice, thousands of Han soldiers shouted in unison. They lowered their heads one by one. They had received orders from the court to welcome the new "General Langya".
"call!"
Yang Xuanlan looked as usual, as if he had not heard the greetings in his ears, and took big steps towards his "General's Mansion"...
At the same time, deep in the mountains, out of sight, Yang Ji suddenly stopped with a loud roar.
"What's this?"
Yang Ji suddenly looked back. Just now, he seemed to hear a roar in the distance.
"Haha, maybe I'm overthinking."
Yang Ji took long strides and walked away quickly.
To the east and to the west, the two Yang children, hundreds of miles apart, had no idea that another fateful showdown awaited them...
…………
In the northwest of Langya County, at the junction with Shouyang County, Shiren County and other places, there is a dense mass of undulating tombs. It is endless.
The stone tablets in front of the tomb are scattered and covered with green moss, and the writing on them has long been blurred.
Standing in this cemetery, anyone can feel an indescribable desolation, silence, despair, and a strong smell of death.
This is the famous dangerous place in the entire eastern Taiyi Continent, the "Ten Thousand Tombs Ridge".
According to rumors, Wanfenling only buried a few families at first. Fortunately, it happened to be a battlefield, dynasties changed, and times changed, so it was chosen as a battlefield.
The sand is stained with blood, and corpses are scattered all over the field. This place gradually becomes a dangerous place.
Later, whenever there were dead bodies within hundreds of miles, they were buried here. Over decades, hundreds of years, thousands of years..., there were more and more corpses here, and the aura of corpses became more and more strong, forming a dense mist.
It never dispersed. And strange things like corpse evil, corpse flower, and blood lotus were born.
An extremely powerful monster "Skeleton Ghost King" was born!
"Ouch!"
Suddenly, a shrill ghost cry burst out from the depths of "Ten Thousand Tombs Ridge" and shot straight into the sky like a sharp arrow.
"scare!"
At the edge of Ten Thousand Tombs Ridge, two young men dressed as disciples of a sect were collecting "corpse flowers" and were caught off guard. They were so frightened that they staggered back.
"This sound...could it be that the Skeleton Ghost King is coming out?"
The sect disciple wearing a golden ring on his hand said with some anxiety. Wanfenling is the territory of the "Skeleton Ghost King". If it suddenly rushes out, ten or eight sect disciples will die.
"Won't!"
Another sect disciple who looked older calmly said:
"Everyone knows that the Skeleton Ghost King will not leave Ten Thousand Tombs Ridge at all, as long as it does not go deep into its territory. Even if you are under its nose, it will not pay attention to you. Don't scare yourself to death... Moreover, I listen to that
The voice doesn’t sound like the Skeleton Ghost King either.”
After saying this, the older disciples of the sect could not help but twitch their eyelids with a look of surprise on their faces. Although Wanfenling's evil aura was strong, it was actually always quiet.
They have been here for so long and have never heard such a shrill scream.
"Senior brother, I feel like this place is a bit weird. How about we leave first."
The sect disciple wearing a golden ring on his hand said uneasily.
"Leave? What about Xiaoyin? Do you want her to die?"
The older sect disciple shouted.
Hearing his words, the sect disciples wearing golden rings fell silent again. Although they were senior brothers and junior brothers, they were actually children from the same village as the girl named "Xiaoyin". They grew up together as childhood sweethearts.
They both joined the same sect together.
More importantly, both of them had a secret love for the girl "Xiaoyin". This time, for some reason, Xiaoyin was scratched by an evil disciple, and she was poisoned and dying.
Only by collecting corpse flowers and blood lotus from Ten Thousand Tombs Ridge and brewing them into medicine can they save her. In order to save "Xiaoyin" and their beloved girl, they risked their lives and ran here.
Thinking of Xiaoyin enduring pain and suffering, the hearts of the sect disciples wearing the golden ring felt like knives twisting their hearts.
"Senior brother, no matter what, I will pick the blood lotus for Xiaoyin."
The disciple of the sect wearing a golden ring gritted his teeth and said.
The two gritted their teeth and plucked up the courage to search deeper into Ten Thousand Tombs Ridge again. "Blood Lotus" was much rarer than Corpse Flower. If you want to get this kind of thing, you must venture into deeper places.
"Huh!"
Suddenly, a sect disciple wearing a golden ring flashed out of the corner of his eye, as if he saw something and became excited:
"Blood lotus, blood lotus...it's blood lotus! Senior brother, I saw the blood lotus!"
Without saying a word, the disciples of the sect wearing the golden ring immediately moved their legs and ran towards the location of the blood lotus in the gray mist. The older disciples felt happy and quickly followed.
"Blood lotus, really blood lotus!..."
The former's excited voice came through the mist:
"Hey, that's weird, why is there water here?"
"What?"
The older sect disciple thought he heard wrongly and asked subconsciously. However, the next moment, a shrill scream came from the gray fog:
"Ah! My legs! My legs!..."
"Junior brother!"
The older disciple of the sect was shocked and rushed over. A distance of more than ten feet passed by in a flash. When he arrived, he saw a terrifying scene:
I saw a young disciple wearing a golden ring standing on a pool of tawny spring water, his face full of pain and fear. The soles of his feet disappeared for unknown reasons, revealing a section of white bones.
As for the leg bones, they were still rotting and melting at an incredible speed, as if his body was made of white wax.
The spring water emerged from the ground. It smelled of putridity and death, and it was spreading to other places. Wherever it passed, even the tenacious corpse flowers and corpse grass died one after another.
"Yellow...Yellow Spring!"
Seeing the spring water on the ground, the older disciples of the sect were stunned and their minds went blank.
"Senior brother, help...save me..."
The sect disciple wearing a golden ring stretched out a trembling palm, trying to ask for help.
"Junior brother!"
The older disciple of the sect screamed and hurriedly reached out to pull him away. But it was already too late. The yellow-brown spring water not only corroded his feet, but also seemed to penetrate into his body. Even his eyes popped out.
A yellow mist.
Before the older sect disciple could pull him away, he heard a scoff, and the sect disciple wearing the golden ring collapsed completely, as if there was only a piece of human skin left.
However, even the human skin was immersed in the yellow water, and together with the hair, it rotted and melted and became part of the yellow water.
A person melts and evaporates in just a few breaths.
"laugh!"
Seeing the yellow water rushing towards his feet as if it were alive, the older disciples of the sect were so horrified that they took a few steps back, their faces full of horror.
"Yellow Spring, Huangquan... This is Huangquan! Only Huangquan can corrode the human body like this, and even the blood cannot resist it. But why is there the Huangquan of the underworld here!"
At this moment, countless rumors that he had heard poured into his ears. The older disciples of the sect were so frightened that their faces turned pale and bloodless, and they ran away.
"We must tell the sect!..."
"Roar!"
A low roar came from behind, the mist swelled, and there was a bang. At this moment, something seemed to jump out of the mist.
The older disciples of the sect were shocked and suddenly looked back. They saw a body like a child jumping out of the mist.
Its skin is pale, its limbs are thin, and the hair on its head is wet. The two rows of white teeth exposed behind a rotten lip look even more evil and extremely ferocious.
Although the body is thin and huddled up, like a monkey, in this corpse-like monster, the older sect disciples feel a huge power that is inconsistent with the body.
"Ning, the evil ghost of the underworld!...How is that possible?"
It was like a thunderbolt struck in the sky. The older disciples of the sect turned pale and trembled when they heard their own voices.
"Jie!"
With a strange cry, the evil-looking monster leapt towards the older sect disciple like a giant frog.
In the flash of lightning, the older disciple of the sect drew out the long sword on his waist without thinking. Although the evil ghost was powerful, it was definitely not impossible to deal with just one head with his strength.
But this hope did not last long before it was completely shattered.
"Jie!"
The gray mist swelled, and another monster leaped high and rushed out of the Ten Thousand Tombs Ridge.
One head, two heads, three heads...
When these humanoid monsters rushed out of the mist one after another, the heart of the older sect disciple completely sank to the bottom of the water:
"It's over!"
A moment later, along with a burst of shrill screams, the Ten Thousand Graves Ridge fell into complete silence. The older disciples of the sect did not understand until their death why these monsters from other worlds appeared here... (To be continued...
