i want to be by your side

I wandered around the nearest town for a few days, and planned to go to the northern city to eat roast lamb and drink goat milk.I thought it would take at least three months for the other party to come to me, but I didn't expect that only a dozen days had passed before the carrier pigeon flew back with its wings flapping.

"What's the matter?" I didn't see the note in the bamboo tube at its feet, so I asked it.

"The situation is a bit serious. I saw that the situation was not right and flew back." Pigeon Xiaoqi told all the things that happened these days, summarizing the unimportant ones and explaining the important ones in detail.

In fact, the process of things is roughly as follows: Yuan Yong was killed, the bandits were in civil turmoil, General Zhang Mande led the Tianwei Army to attack the bandits, the process was very smooth, because the enemy came and did not respond, they were attacked into the cottage, and there was no inhuman force on the way block.In just a few days, the cottage was breached and everyone was captured.However, when the Tianwei army finished sweeping the mountain, they found that a very important person was missing - Wu Shan.Then dozens of strange giant beasts appeared, with the head of an eagle, the horns of a lion, and the body of a lion, with wings growing from the belly, trapping General Zhang Mande and dozens of people in a valley, unable to get out, and outsiders could not enter.After the news came back, Zhang Xiaoxiao rode on the horse to rescue her father without saying a word, and Yuan Jian and Shan Che also led people to rescue her.As a result, several identical eagle-headed and bull-horned monsters flew in the sky, stopping the group of people.

The monster that suddenly appeared shocked the people nearby, and this monster only appeared today. Before tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, there must be all kinds of rumors here.Xiao Qi specially flew back to tell me that he was just asking for my opinion—whether to save or not. After all, the business is not over yet, and my employer is still there. His life may be in danger at any time, and the business will be interrupted at any time.

I thought about it, and sneered: "It's not that simple. That's the camp of the Tianwei Army. What is the identity of the Tianwei Army? Tens of thousands of people can't deal with a few winged beasts there? Tens of thousands of arrows are flying into the sky." Shoot, even a bird will be shot down."

"But the problem is—" Xiaoqi hesitated and said, "A winged beast has captured Miss Yuanjian to the sky. If it shoots an arrow..." The content behind did not continue, but it is not difficult to imagine what it is .If the arrow is slightly inaccurate, it will greet Yuan Jian.

"Forget it, I'll go and have a look." I sighed, the demon power surged in my body, and a hole was torn open by me in the space.I don't know how long the other party has been caught by the winged beast. If the winged beast loses its grip a little bit during this period, it will fall from the sky thousands of miles... Tsk tsk, it really makes people slow down at all!

When I passed the top of the city gate, I saw the Tianwei army rushing to report the news. Could it be that the [-] Tianwei army can't take down dozens of winged beasts?As I got closer to the barracks, I could hear the loud and clear hawk cries from the sky. The army hid behind the city wall. As long as anyone showed up, they would be captured by the galloping winged beasts. Hundreds of arrows were unable to stop the winged beasts, and all of them were blown away by the wings of the winged beasts, or swept away by the airflow from the winged beasts, completely unable to get close to the winged beasts.

Well, from now on, we can no longer use demon power so blatantly.I came to a high ground outside the city wall and carefully observed the situation below the city wall and the sky.

There were ten winged beasts in total, but none found the one that took Yuan Jian away.

"Over there." Xiao Qi shouted, flapping his wings, pointing with his white wings, but it was the top of the tall tower.I looked there, and sure enough, I saw a winged beast crawling there, and the woman in white next to the paw was probably Yuan Jian.

The Tianwei army had already discovered that Yuan Jian had been brought to the top of the tower, and they were trying to form a team to rescue them, but the tower was too high, a full nine meters high, and they had to build a ladder to go up. This is not the most difficult thing, the difficulty is that it is very difficult to climb up without being harassed by other winged beasts and stumbled.For this reason, the Tianwei army did not hesitate to send the most elite archers to stop the winged beast, but they still couldn't stop the winged beast from flying over, and with a light sweep of its wings, all the people on the ladder were swept away.

"Their feathers are very thick, and ordinary bows and arrows can't hurt them." I secretly came to this conclusion after observing.

"What if it is burned with fire?" Xiao Qi asked.

"It's possible, but it's on their territory after all. If you use fire to attack...what if you burn your own things?" I said, "If the enemy army takes the opportunity to attack now, the Tianwei Army's It's going to be very difficult."

While I was talking, my eyes kept falling there, observing their actions. When they were about to rush up to save people and deal with the winged beasts again, they quietly lurked under the city wall, kicked their feet hard, and just climbed like this Swimmed up the city wall.While the Winged Beast and the Tianwei Army were focusing on each other, I successfully climbed up the city wall and prepared to climb up the tower.Unexpectedly, a hidden arrow suddenly passed me, followed by the second and third sharp arrows.

"Shoot that man down!" A familiar female voice sounded mercilessly.As Zhang Xiaoxiao said, she set up a bow and arrow and shot at me at the same time.

Suddenly, dozens of arrows shot at me.

"Damn!" I quickly climbed up, flexibly dodging the sharp arrows and the flapping of the winged beast's wings, and climbed up the tower first under the eyes of the soldiers.

"Zhi——" There was a piercing scream in my ear, I drew the knife, turned around and landed, and cut off the head of the bull-horned eagle cleanly.In the next second, the body of the winged beast, together with the head I chopped off, turned into smoke and dissipated into the sky and the earth.At the same time, an arrow from behind shot into my back shoulder, and the iron-cast arrow pierced out from the hollow of my shoulder.

This arrow is so powerful!I sighed secretly, turned around to see who shot the arrow, but what greeted me was the next sharp arrow aimed at my heart.

I leaned back decisively, lying on the ground, avoiding this arrow and the next one.The roof area of ​​the tower is not small, enough for me and Yuan Jian to lie here side by side, and there is still a lot of space.

The confrontation below is still going on.

"Hey! Wake up!" I yelled with my head tilted.Yuan Jian woke up soon, and the moment she woke up, there was still a little fear in her eyes, but after seeing that the person in front of her was me, the fear in her eyes was quickly covered up.

Yuan Jian stood up and looked around, and found that there were only the two of us, and the winged beast that caught her was gone, a little strange and surprised.

"Why are you here..." she asked.

"I'm here to save you." As I said, I sat up, tapped the acupuncture point on my shoulder to stop the bleeding, and then used my internal force to shake out the arrow.

"This arrow..." She looked at me thoughtfully as I took the arrow.

I said nonchalantly: "When he came up, that kid Shan Che missed his arrow and hit me." After a pause, I changed into a serious tone and said, "Yuan Jian, you tell him later, if he dares to If you shoot the arrow at me..." Speaking of this, a sharp killing intent flashed in my eyes - the arrow just now really wanted my life, if I hadn't dodged quickly ...Although this can't kill me, if it shoots me in the heart and I'm still alive, doesn't it mean that I'm not human?

Yuan Jian was silent.Suddenly she asked, "You said you came to save me?"

"Yeah." I nodded, pointing to the army below, "But they don't know I'm here to save you—someone tried to shoot me just now, a dozen archers turned their fire together, dozens of The arrow flew towards me."

"...I've explained your identity to them." The subconscious meaning is that you can reveal your identity to them and let them cooperate with you, so you don't have to take such a big risk.

"Oh, let's talk about it next time!" I politely refused.I have a special status, it is not easy to know so many people.

"Defense yourself." I pulled out a sharp dagger from my boots and threw it to Yuan Jian, "I'm leaving." As I spoke, I took a deep breath, jumped off the tower with a vertical leap, and took the long dagger in my hand. The knife swung impenetrably.

"Look at the knife!" I yelled, grabbed a winged beast that was close at hand with one hand, and pulled myself onto its back.

"Zhi—" the winged beast screamed in horror, rampaging across the sky.I rode it, beat its head with the back of my knife, and drove it to where I wanted to go. After shooting down a few nearby pterosaurs with the bow and arrow I snatched, I stabbed the one under me with a single knife. It was chopped into ashes, and then I turned around and slapped the arrow that was aimed at me into the air, and performed a move of "Mount Tai Suppresses the Top", and my body fell quickly, landing on the city wall to form a circle of strong air currents, blowing away the surrounding soldiers.Then, before people had time to surround me, I quickly performed my lightness kung fu and escaped.

There are eleven winged beasts in total, ten of them are flying in the sky, and one is watching Yuan Jian from the tower.However, I killed five of them, and the remaining six flew far away outside the city wall, not daring to approach.

Seeing that Yuan Jian was successfully rescued, I wrote a letter and asked Xiao Qi to take it to her at night, and then went to the cottage to investigate the situation by myself.

This time, if you don't look at it, you won't know it. Only by looking at it can you know how serious the situation is!Although the Tianwei Army has [-] troops, not all of them are going to suppress the bandits. Zhang Mande and several lieutenants only bring [-] troops to attack, and the remaining two-thirds are guarding at the main checkpoint, and the remaining third One is to garrison troops in a small town a hundred miles away from the main checkpoint.

After attacking the bandits, there were still [-] troops left.However, because the terrain was not wide enough, the eight thousand soldiers were somewhat unable to perform in the small valley. Instead, they were beaten back steadily by dozens of winged beasts, until they went out of the valley to the forest, covered by trees, Only then did all the soldiers work together to capture one or two pterosaurs.

They also discovered the fact that these winged beasts would turn into ashes once they were killed, which shook the army's morale again—the corpses turned into ashes, what does this mean?It shows that these big guys are not alive, they may be monsters summoned from nowhere by the strategists of the gang of thieves.If they can be summoned, it means that there are not only these, but more. In this way, their sergeants fall one by one, but there are more and more monsters. How can this not make people collapse!

At the same time, not only me, they also found that the number of captives was getting smaller and smaller.These were originally bandits in this cottage, but dozens of them died at once in a certain night.On the second day, it was found that the number of winged beasts had doubled.

Sacrifice!

I immediately realized this. There is only one thing in this world that can use human life as a sacrifice to the beast god to summon the mount of the beast god—the horned lion to deal with the enemy, and that is the Order of Beasts.

The Order of Hundred Beasts claims to be able to summon all kinds of beasts, but they are not really the animals that people commonly see, but the mythical beasts in legends.It is said that the founding emperor of the Yin Dynasty contributed a lot to the Order of the Hundred Beasts when he conquered this country, but because he had to sacrifice human life to use the Order of the Hundred Beasts, it hurt the peace of heaven, so he sealed it in the royal ancestral temple and left the ancestral instructions , not to be used until the moment of peril.Unexpectedly, now it has been lost to the people, and even into the hands of thieves.

I suddenly had a guess: they came to attack the bandits at this time, not for anything else, but for the Order of Hundred Beasts.It is estimated that the Order of Hundred Beasts is in Wu Shan's hands now, and he is the only one among the bandits who knows how to use the Order of Hundred Beasts.
