Sadness hangs over the camp.
The rumble of the puppets came from far and near. According to the experience they have summed up these days, they should evade, they should form a defense line, and they should protect their flanks against the opponent's impact. They have been able to calmly face the torrent of bronze.
But nobody moved, they acted like they didn't hear.
The soldiers spontaneously gathered around Mu Zhixia, some were sobbing, some were wiping their tears, the tears were mixed with mud, all over their faces. Their eyes were blank, their souls seemed to be taken away, and they were lost, like walking dead.
When Lao Tuan and Lao Tang arrived, they looked at each other in blank dismay.
They met no resistance, no one even looked at them. Old Tuan and Old Tang looked solemn, they could hardly believe that these beggar-like soldiers in front of them were actually the elite of the First Corps, and they fought fiercely to the end, causing them considerable casualties.
what happened
The two looked solemn, without half a smile. During this period of time, the two of them praised Mu Zhixia's tenacity many times, and how many times they praised the tenacity of this group of soldiers who were in trouble. In the beginning, they were able to defeat Mu Zhixia's corps relatively easily, but soon, Mu Zhixia's corps became more and more difficult to deal with, causing them more and more casualties.
Iron-like will, strict discipline, tenacious fighting spirit, skilled fighting skills, and a 100% synchronization rate that is unique in the world, live up to the name of the world's number one army.
Mu Zhixia is a worthy opponent, and these soldiers are worthy soldiers.
Seeing their respected opponent crashing down, the two of them didn't feel the slightest joy of victory.
This is not the victory they wanted.
They walked carefully through the sad soldiers, and they couldn't help being shocked when they saw Mu Zhixia lying on the ground, her eyes were bloodstained, and her body was as crystal clear as white jade. They finally understood why the soldiers didn't resist at all. Mu Zhixia was the soul of this army. Once something happened to him, this army would no longer be the number one army that ruled the world.
Old Tang squatted down and inspected Mu Zhixia with a solemn expression.
The two sides have been fighting for so long, it can be said that they cherish each other. The reason why Mu Zhixia was completely suppressed by the Southern Cross Corps was not due to lack of skill. On the one hand, it was because the army went deep alone and was surrounded by dangers. They not only had to face the Southern Cross Corps, but also had to guard against the savage tribe. On the other hand, in terms of experience, Mu Zhixia has led the army for decades and has not been baptized by the war. How can he compare with the old monster who has been fighting all his life and is still baptized by the war
But Mu Zhixia still tenaciously resisted their attack, struggled to support, and continued to grow, which made the old group feel great pressure as well.
"Thank you." Mu Zhixia's voice was like a mosquito, but his expression was quite peaceful: "Please don't waste time on me."
Mu Zhixia's body looked very strange, his hair was as white as silver, and his palms that were originally covered with calluses were covered with white spots. Faint white light came out through his body, revealing his flesh and blood. The whole person looks like white light flowing, as if shrouded in a layer of light.
A look of horror appeared on Old Tang's face. Not only did the vitality in Mu Zhixia's body not decline, but it was extremely exuberant, exuberant like a blazing flame in the dark night. It was this exuberant vitality that caused Mu Zhixia's body to deteriorate rapidly. It is constantly burning and eroding Mu Zhixia's flesh and blood.
Rao is a well-informed old Tang, and he has never seen such a weird thing.
"This is Shengyan." Mu Zhixia said softly.
The surrounding soldiers suddenly commotioned, and they raised their heads with shock and disbelief. Sheng Yan, that is what they are most familiar with, they have to practice every day. How could such a terrifying scene be caused by holy flames? In their hearts, holy flames give them strength, give them courage, heal their wounds, make them strong, and it is a sign of their piety.
How could it be Shengyan
Suddenly the soldiers thought of the trial of the temple, did the temple think that the adults were not loyal enough? Or do you think that adults are not good at fighting and punish them? The soldiers got excited, they followed the Lord, went deep alone, and fought desperately, how could the temple give the Lord such an unfair trial
Holy flame? Old Tang and Lao Tuan looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Mu Zhixia's eyes were bloody, but he could still feel the turmoil of the soldiers around him. He sighed softly: "Shengzhou is probably a hell on earth now. We surrender, and I will tell you everything I know. Please don't hurt my soldiers, please!"
Everyone was shocked by Mu Zhixia's words, even those soldiers who were excited at first seemed to be immobilized at this moment. They didn't understand why the adults suddenly mentioned the irrelevant Holy Continent. Besides, Shengzhou is where the temple is located, there are many corps, and Guangmingzhou is the most heavily guarded place, how could it be a hell on earth
Old Tang and Lao Tuan also didn't understand.
They knew about Shengyan, and they knew about Shengzhou, but they couldn't connect the two.
"Don't worry, we are not people who kill indiscriminately." The old group said in a deep voice.
"The temple has always had a plan." Mu Zhixia's voice was faint, like the wind, with a sigh: "This plan originated from the soul research of the temple."
Everyone held their breath involuntarily, they all had a premonition that what Mu Zhixia said next must be a shocking secret. The soul research of the temple is famous all over the world, not to mention them, even children in their teens know that the soul research of the temple represents the highest level of the sanctuary.
"The original intention of this plan was to create soul generals. The plan didn't go well, but they overcame many difficulties and they succeeded. They created the first powerful soul general, the head of the Knights of Light, Sophie."
The soldiers were horrified, the rumors about Captain Sophie turned out to be true!
The status of the Knights of Light is detached, and the head of the Knights of Light, Sophie, has an extremely lofty status in the hearts of everyone. The premonition in their hearts became stronger and stronger. How could a secret involving so many big figures be an ordinary secret
"After Sophie was created, she performed very well. She has a strong learning ability and grows very quickly. At this time, another important result appeared. The temple discovered that Shengyan can be used by the soul in a unique way. Will absorb. In this way, the strength of the soul general can be improved in a very short period of time."
"The plan is perfect." Mu Zhixia said like a dream: "Sophie's strength has soared dozens of times in a short period of time, and she has become the most powerful warrior in the temple. However, problems also follow. When Fei's strength rises to a certain level, she will fall into a bottleneck, and absorbing the holy flames will have no effect. After research by the temple, it was discovered that Sophie's strength has reached a critical value, and if she wants to break through, she must absorb an astronomical number of holy flames."
Everyone listened intently.
Mu Zhixia felt the holy flame flowing in her body, and said lightly: "So the temple began to promote the holy flame on a large scale. You should remember that time, the temple began to formulate a series of plans."
The surroundings suddenly fell silent, these words struck them like a bolt of lightning, and a frightening guess emerged in their minds, maybe... no! How could the temple do this!
As if she could hear the fear in their hearts, Mu Zhixia ruthlessly shattered the last bit of luck in their hearts: "Yes, it's what you think."
"Impossible! How could the temple be like this?"
"This is too inhuman..."
"Is the temple crazy?"
A piece of silence suddenly exploded the pot.
Many soldiers held their heads, still full of disbelief. The temple is their belief, and it is extremely sacred in their hearts. If these words were not from Mu Zhixia who they have always convinced them the most, they would have torn each other to pieces long ago.
There was a commotion, and gradually quieted down, and everyone's eyes turned to Mu Zhixia again. At this moment, none of them felt excited, they were all chilled, bone-chilling. There is only one person who can give them the answer, and that is the adults in front of them.
The lord's blood-stained face now exudes a strange sacred aura, the skin on his face is almost transparent, and they can even see the white holy flame flowing slowly under the skin.
Mu Zhixia suddenly remembered that the first day she entered the temple, she guessed that she was only twelve years old at that time, and the Great Elder at that time was not the current Great Elder. It was a sunny day, and it was an elder with a warm smile.
The stinging pain in his eyes pulled him back from his memories, the cruel darkness, the turbulent holy flames in his body, and even the familiar sacred aura were piercing.
"The temple is not for Sufis."
Mu Zhixia sighed: "Long-term persistence, coupled with the continuous transmission of content from the Tianlu Temple, the temple's soul research has finally made a huge breakthrough. One of the most important results is that they have found a way to overcome energy erosion. This means that soul generals can have a long lifespan, almost immortal."
Hearing this, the old group probably understood.
His eyes were complicated, yes, the lifespan of a soul general is long. But the long years, suffering year after year, with no end in sight, how many people can understand that kind of desolation? Seeing my relatives and friends aging and losing in front of me, the boundless loneliness and loneliness are more painful than any energy erosion. When the time is so long that even the loved ones are forgotten, even the best memories are annihilated, even the beliefs and ideals are decayed and disappeared, and you are still wandering alone in this world, what a sad thing it is.
Eternal life, huh...
He chuckled silently in his heart, with the bitterness and loneliness of the years.
"Transforming people into soul generals is a kind of eternal life. Although Sophie is successful, she has no memory. How to transform into a soul general and maintain memory has become the latest problem. This problem has not troubled the temple, and soon Completed. However, this is a matter that violates the laws of nature after all, and it has great risks. The success rate of transforming soul generals is very low. The first person to try is an ambitious person. He is determined to dedicate his long life To the temple. He firmly believes that as long as he has enough time, he can rebuild a brand new temple, a temple that is clean and free from any blemishes. For this ideal, he is willing to take risks, even at the cost of his life. Whether it is His own, or someone else's."
"He is the Great Elder."
There was a dead silence.
