Zhang Ruochen and Han Qiu rushed to the road day and night, reaching the fastest speed. At noon the next day, they finally arrived at the periphery of Tianmo Ridge.
On the horizon are tall and majestic mountains, densely packed with trees and sparsely populated areas, and often see huge and fierce beasts appearing.
"We are only half a day away from Tianmo Martial Arts City, and it should be safe."
Han Qiu breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I remember that not far from here, there is a small city called 'Yueji City', which belongs to the sphere of influence of Yuntai Sect Mansion. We can go over and have a good rest. Maybe the people who meet us in Yuntai Sect Mansion and Wushi Academy have arrived at Yueji City."
Zhang Ruochen thought for a while and said, "Okay! If there are really experts in Wushi Academy and Yuntai Sect Mansion, it would be a good thing to welcome us in Yueji City. However, we should be more careful, it is best to investigate first and then enter the city."
More than ten days have passed, and the news must have been sent back to the Wu City Academy.
The Wu City Academy will definitely send strong men to welcome Zhang Ruochen. After all, with the talent shown by Zhang Ruochen, it is definitely worthy of the key protection of the Wu City Academy.
When Zhang Ruochen and Han Qiu came outside Yueji City, they discovered something very strange!
The city gates were wide open and even a figure could not be seen.
Although Yueji City is just a small city, it is never desolate. Every year, there are thousands of warriors who go to Tianmo Ridge to adventure. Most of them will stay in Yueji City temporarily to replenish healing pills and sell corpses of wild beasts, etc.
.
Why can't anyone see this today, like a dead city?
Zhang Ruochen sniffed gently in the air. Apart hundreds of meters apart, he could smell a strong stench coming from the city.
"How could Yueji City be so quiet? Could it be that the evil warriors of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce have occupied this small city?" Han Qiu said in confusion.
"If it were the evil warriors of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce, they would never have done it so obviously."
Zhang Ruochen seemed to have guessed something and walked straight towards the city gate.
Han Qiu hesitated for a moment and chased after him.
When they walked into Yueji City, Zhang Ruochen and Han Qiu discovered that the entire Yueji City had indeed become a dead city, and there was no living person on the street.
Because there are only dead bodies.
The dead bodies fell to the ground in a row, some hung on the eaves, and some broke into two pieces...
They seemed to have died for only one or two days, and the bodies were very shriveled, and the blood in their bodies was completely lost, and the air was filled with the rotten smell that made people want to vomit.
Although it is still during the day, it gives people a gloomy and terrifying feeling, like coming to hell on earth.
"How did a whole city become like this?"
Even with strong psychological quality, Han Qiu's face was still pale and a strong sense of fear arose in his heart.
"Isn't there a ghost?"
Han Qiu leaned slightly towards Zhang Ruochen and nervously pinched the hilt of the sword.
Zhang Ruochen walked to one of the mummies without expression, squatted down, and looked at the two holes on the mummies' neck.
Zhang Ruochen's pupils shrank and he said, "It's her."
Han Qiu asked, "Who?"
Zhang Ruochen stood up again and said, "Have you heard that the masters of the Wu City Academy are dealing with a blood-sucking demon?"
"I have heard that it is said that the Wu City Academy sent ten masters from the Heavenly Realm to deal with her, but she also escaped!"
Han Qiu suddenly woke up and said in surprise: "Is it because she sucked the blood of these people? There are at least tens of thousands of warriors in the entire Yueji City. With her own strength alone, she may not be able to suck the blood of tens of thousands of warriors."
"I guess she has cultivated the blood spirit."
Zhang Ruochen said thoughtfully: "If it were the help of the Blood Spirit, coupled with her own strength, it would be not difficult to suck all the blood of the warriors in Yueji City. After absorbing so much human blood, I don't know how much she has grown to?"
Han Qiu looked at Zhang Ruochen in surprise and said in confusion: "You seem to know very well about that blood-sucking demon!"
"Of course! Because I have seen her and know her origin." Zhang Ruochen said.
Han Qiu was stunned, curious, and asked, "What is her origin?"
"Now is not the time to talk about that blood-sucking demon, we are in trouble again
!”
Zhang Ruochen's eyes stared at the direction of the city wall.
“Buzz!”
A group of colorful bees flew above the walls of Yueji City, with their eyes shining with wisdom, staring at Zhang Ruochen and Han Qiu.
The bodies of those bees are a hundred times larger than ordinary bees, and are about the size of a fist.
Their wings are spread out, half a meter long, and at the tail, they have sharp stings.
At first glance, it was like a group of colorful birds flying in the air, with hundreds of them.
"A thousand-mile bee!" Zhang Ruochen said.
Han Qiu also stared at the huge bees and said, "As long as he can control so many thousand-mile bees at the same time, he must be a master of the beast master. As far as I know, there is a strange man next to the Sifang County Prince, named 'Ling Xiansu', who is a beast master. Could it be that he has caught up with him?"
"It must be him!" Zhang Ruochen said.
The Qianli Bee is a first-level top-level wild beast, and its attack power can only be considered ordinary. Its real purpose is to pursue enemies, survey terrain, and convey messages.
Ordinary low-level beast masters can only raise one or a few thousand-mile bees.
Being able to dispatch hundreds of thousands of miles bees at the same time is definitely a master-level figure.
The attack power of the beast master is even more terrifying than that of ordinary warriors in the extreme realm of heaven, and can easily destroy a city.
A beast master is comparable to hundreds of thousands of troops, and his destructive power on the battlefield is the most powerful.
After the thousand-mile bees discovered Zhang Ruochen and Han Qiu, they flew out of Yueji City and went back to inform the beast master.
Han Qiu said: "Let's run away while the beast master hasn't chased you yet!"
"Escape? Where to escape?"
Zhang Ruochen said calmly: "What is the most powerful thing about the beast master? It is to control the wild beasts and launch an attack on the warriors. In Yueji City, there are city walls, houses, and formations, which can also cause certain obstacles to the wild beasts and give us a chance to fight back. But if we escape into the Tianmo Ridge and are surrounded by the wild beasts, it will be even more unfavorable for us."
Han Qiu said: "What do you mean is that we will stay in Yueji City and compete with that beast master?"
"We can't compete with the power of a beast master! We just try our best to delay time. We can only hope that the masters of the Wu City Academy and Yuntai Sect Mansion can come sooner." Zhang Ruochen said.
Han Qiu finally understood what Zhang Ruochen meant that it would be easier for the masters of staying in Yueji City, Wushi Academy and Yuntai Sect Mansion to find them.
If they escape into the vast mountains, they will not only face the continuous attacks of wild beasts, but also find it difficult to wait for the masters to rescue them.
Zhang Ruochen began to count the resources available in the storage ring and took them out one by one.
Thunder beads, forty-five.
There are three-grade healing pills, ten bottles, and ten bottles per bottle. Among them, there are both healing pills, elixirs to restore true qi, and elixirs to temporarily increase strength.
Four-grade healing pills, two bottles, five bottles per bottle
.
Attack battle pictures, seven pictures.
Defensive array flags, two attack array flags, five.
...
Han Qiu stared at Zhang Ruochen and took out a lot of resources from the storage ring, and was already extremely surprised.
Just those forty-five thunder beads are worth tens of millions of silver coins and have the power to destroy tens of thousands of troops.
There are also those elixirs, battle maps, formation flags, and all treasures that are worth at least 30 million silver coins.
She is a daughter from Yuntai Sect Mansion and a top genius, but compared with Zhang Ruochen, she is simply poor.
Han Qiu picked up one of the battle pictures and opened the sealed rolled sleeves.
On the scroll, the form of a third-level high-level wild beast, purple-horned beast, is presented. According to the explanation on the battle map. If the battle map is activated, ten purple-horned beasts can be stimulated to help the warriors fight.
The value of this battle picture alone is definitely more than two million silver coins.
"Why do you have so many treasures?" Han Qiu asked.
These treasures of Zhang Ruochen were naturally taken out of the warehouse of the Red Spider Giant Ship. They were once high-end products that the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce had been preparing to buy.
Zhang Ruochen did not tell her the source of the treasures and said, "If you want to resist the attack of the wild beasts, you must first set up a formation. I have seen the city protection formation in Yueji City, and it has been damaged to a certain extent. Even if the repair is successful, its power will be greatly reduced."
"There is only one way now, which is to use the seven formation flags I took out, and combine them with the original city-modification formation in Yueji City to form a new city-modification formation. You first go and insert the formation flag on the city wall."
There are a total of seven formation flags, two sets of defensive formation flags, and five sets of attack formation flags.
In each formation, the least "Ghost Light Skeleton Array" has only twenty-four array flags, and the most "Thousand Army and Ten Thousand Beast Array" has reached eighty-one array flags.
The array flag is made of bronze, with a length of about seven feet. The formation master installs spiritual crystals in the flag pole to provide the energy required for the array flag. At the same time, the flag is weaved with witch gold silk, and the formation inscription is burned, which is integrated with the flag pole.
As long as the formation flag is inserted into the ground according to certain rules and the warrior uses his true energy, he can activate the formation.
Among the seven formations, even if it is just the lowest-priced "Ghost Light Skeleton Array", it can still be sold at the auction of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce, which is comparable to the total assets of an eighth-rate family.
Zhang Ruochen not only wanted to arrange the seven formations, but also wanted to combine the seven formations with the city-shackle formation of Yueji City to exert its maximum power.
At that time, Yueji City will not only be as solid as a solid person, but at least it will have the power to fight an offensive and defensive battle with the beast master.
Han Qiu turned into a graceful phantom, flew up to the city wall of Yueji City, inserted a rod array flag on the city wall, and began to arrange the formation.
In fact, there is no technical content when planting the array flag. As long as you are a warrior, you can basically do it.
For some reason, although Han Qiu knew that the battle was incredible, he was still excited and expectant, and did not feel terrified at all.
