After the meditation, Xia Qiu, Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qian Qi couldn't calm down for a long time. They subconsciously looked at the blanket under them. The white blanket was no longer as flat as when the meditation started, but full of... It has wrinkles like waves.
Although meditation only occurs in their brains, and the actual time it takes is much less than what they feel, the clothes on their bodies are already soaked with sweat. The three teenagers each had their own thoughts, recalling everything that happened during the meditation. They felt that every scene was so real, the possible failures, and the separation of life and death from their friends. These all brought an unprecedented impact to their hearts.
But on the other hand, the teenagers finally realized what the support from their peers means. As they sank to Haiti, their companions gathered all their strength to lift them out of the sea, turning into bright stars to light up their way forward. They couldn't help but remember that the friendship and trust they had gained along the way were far away. Much more pain and confusion than failure brings.
In an instant, they seemed to understand the true meaning of meditation, which was to make them trust each other and other companions more than before. This trust and bond would continuously provide them with strength in battle.
After they left the open space in the corridor, they went to bathe and change clothes. Later, they would patrol the entire royal city.
It had been a while since Xia Qiu bathed in this kind of hot water made with special flowers and plants. She felt that the fatigue caused by the meditation just now had relaxed her nerves and body.
After dinner, they set out from Chenji Palace to inspect the entire royal city. The three of them rode on their own demon horses and looked at the empty streets around them. Although the residents of the city have successfully moved out, the entire royal city is still brightly lit at night, which reminds Xia Qiu of the empty city strategy.
During this evacuation, the residents were very cooperative and the process was thorough and orderly. Not only that, they also donated many supplies left by each family, such as food, medicine, etc., to the Royal City army. Of course, their Behavior is entirely resource-based.
Xia Qiu knew that among those soldiers, there were many husbands or sons from a certain family. They shouldered the mission of defending their homeland and were determined to join the army to fight against the demon army. In addition to bringing the blessings and expectations of their relatives, they also brought their concerns. .
Many of those soldiers were very young, even the same age as Xia Qiu and the others. It was impossible to say that they did not have a trace of fear in their hearts for the coming war. Over the past few days, Ouyang Hongye, Wangyue and Ouyang Xiaoleng would enter the military camp from time to time to encourage and appease the morale of the troops. Their arrival made the Royal City army achieve unprecedented unity.
In the Zhengu Forest Dungeon on the other side of the demon world, the failure of soul transfer caused certain harm to Qingyun. What happened that day was very strange. Lingyu has been injected with a sufficient amount of anesthetics, which can ensure that he will not wake up within three hours, but Madam Lan's world-destroying system only takes one hour to complete the soul transfer, which means that Even if the anesthetic wears off, the boy will be nothing more than a shell.
But just when Qingyun was only one step away from obtaining Lingyu's soul, a guy who shouldn't exist broke into the space created by Mrs. Lan using the world-destroying system, and that was Suzaku's true body.
Qingyun remembered correctly. The mythical beast with the nine ribbon-like phoenix tails was Suzaku. Only his flame would not be extinguished by water and could continue to burn in any substance.
But why does Suzaku appear in this completely virtual world? There was only one reason he could think of, and that was that he was created entirely by the power of Ling Yu's soul. This young man seemed to be far stronger than he imagined, and he perfectly disguised all his emotions, even deceiving his Qingyun eyes. His soul was worthy of being divided from Suzaku's soul just like his own.
After successfully breaking free from the shackles of the system, Lingyu entered a state similar to hypnosis, and all his actions came from subconscious memories of past lives.
Before Mrs. Lan could react to what happened, she saw him jump up from the bed. After pulling off all the wires connected to his head, he grabbed a scalpel on the shelf next to him and stabbed him at an extremely fast speed. He grabbed her arm and rushed out of the basement.
According to the compatibility between the ghost slaves and the demon soldiers, they only saw a golden light flashing past, and they did not even see the human figure. The sparks that the light wiped out in the space still left a not too shallow line on the ground where he passed. black traces.
After he broke through the shackles of the underground city, he quickly left the Zhengu Forest. No one could tell where he went, leaving only Qingyun's uncontrollable anger.
The failure of the soul transfer was something Qingyun had not expected before, but for him, it was now imminent and he had to launch a war quickly. If the delay continued, the advantage of his demon army would continue to be weakened.
Mrs. Lan thought that this failure would bring her catastrophe, but strangely, Qingyun did not hold her responsible. Her analysis concluded that for him, she was still a chess piece that could be used, but he didn't have many chess pieces that he could use now.
The Annihilation System also analyzed the terrain inside and outside the royal city, and also noticed the valley that must be passed through.
"It's easy for the other party to take advantage of it and set up traps or checkpoints that would be detrimental to us." Mrs. Lan told Qingyun what she had discovered.
After thinking about it for a while, Qingyun came up with an idea. He decided to appoint Yasha to quietly lead people to install explosives there before the tree demon reached the valley, so as to expand the valley which was far less narrow.
"Last time you almost lost to the people in the royal city, there is no room for failure this time!" He ordered Yaksha, his tone sounding very cold.
Yasha was startled and broke into a cold sweat. When he attacked Qingyang before, he was almost captured by Ouyang Hongye and others. In the end, Meng'er, whom he usually looked down on, helped him and allowed him to escape. For this reason, he lost face in front of Qingyun's other subordinates, especially Rakshasa's mother, who used this topic to ridicule him from time to time, which really made him feel aggrieved. This is a rare opportunity to perform, and he must seize this opportunity.
The explosives used for blasting were made by Mrs. Lan using the World Extermination System. Only a small one can level a hill to the ground. It would take about a hundred bombs to detonate at the same time to blow up the valley.
He needs to lead his men to quietly place the explosives, and then use the detonator designed by Mrs. Blue to detonate them. In his opinion, this task was much simpler than his usual tasks, so he was naturally full of confidence.
In order to camouflage themselves well and avoid being discovered by the royal city's sentries when installing explosives in the valley at night, Mrs. Lan designed a night-walking uniform for them, which was very similar to the color of the mountain surface. Especially at night when the light is low, it is almost difficult to distinguish.
The countdown to the war has entered. Xia Qiu seized the last moment to return to the human world to see her grandparents, and also said a simple farewell to Liu Lingmei and the others. Ouyang Hongye also rarely put everything down and returned to Ouyang's ancient house to briefly reunite with Dong Muya.
Qian Qi used this time to write a long letter to his father. Once the royal city was lost, they would retreat to Dongyao, so the Amber Dragon King was also making various preparations.
Snow Rabbit will stay in Chenji Palace, and together with the two elders will serve as the last line of defense for the royal city, guarding the four divine pillars.
But on the night when Ouyang Xiaoleng and others left Chenji Palace, ambush outside the Royal City together with the Royal City army, and entered a state of preparation for war, the four divine pillars suddenly moved.
The four divine pillars that were originally suppressed by the two divine talismans of heaven and earth and the demonic power of the two elders once again vibrated greatly. The four divine beasts on the divine pillars appeared restless. They kept wandering around in the divine pillars, and even had tears in their eyes. Blood and tears.
Ouyang Yong and Shi Wangcheng knew in their hearts that this was an extremely ominous sign.
"Blood and tears, strange births." Ouyang Yong silently described this sign.
"The next sentence is" Lion King Cheng's face changed drastically, and he shook his head as he continued, "The divine pillar is destroyed, and the heaven and earth are destroyed."
"Grandpa Yong, Elder Cheng, what do these two sentences mean?" Xuetu asked anxiously.
"Once the four divine beasts on the sacred pillar shed blood and tears, it means that the demon world will usher in a catastrophe. Hundreds of years ago, the first generation of demon king Fox Ouyang Xueye and the second generation of demon king Fox Ouyang Xueye sixteen years ago, before they started with Qingyun, The four divine beasts on the divine pillar have become restless before, but this is the first time they shed tears of blood." Ouyang Yong frowned, and he couldn't help but wonder, is it possible that no one can save the three realms from falling into the hands of the devil this time? Already? !!
"What about the next sentence?" Snow Rabbit asked next.
"The blood and tears shed by the divine beast is just a sign. Next, the divine beast will break free from the divine pillars, causing the destruction of the four divine pillars and the demon world will cease to exist." Lion King Cheng and Ouyang Yong exchanged glances.
"Xuetu, Elder Cheng and I must concentrate all our efforts to stabilize the divine pillar from this moment on and try to prevent the destruction of the divine pillar, while you must stay by our side." Ouyang Yong said to Xuetu.
"Okay!" Xuetu nodded, but she thought again, "Don't we tell brother Xiao Leng and my uncle about the divine pillar?"
"Absolutely not. Once they know about the changes in the divine pillar, it will greatly affect their mood and the morale of the soldiers. Besides, even if they know, they can't change anything!" Ouyang Yong turned to Lion King Cheng, "Now It’s time for our two old bones to come into play!”
"Yes, although the two of us can't go to the front line, this is our battlefield." Lion King Cheng smiled with relief.
The old man has been a competitor for a long time, and they were once hostile to each other due to their different positions. But when the royal city faced crisis and the demon world fell into catastrophe, they became each other's most loyal partners.
Ouyang Yong and Lion King Cheng sat back to back, exerting their respective demonic powers, and continued to strengthen the two divine talismans of heaven and earth that previously sealed the divine power in the divine pillar. They must delay the destruction of the divine pillar as long as possible, even if they use up all their strength or even their lives.
