Chapter 27 A sudden turn for the worse
Summer always seems like yesterday, but before you know it, the green leaves have turned yellow, and the cool autumn wind occasionally blows, which is refreshing.
Chen Jing has been refining elixirs crazily since the last family meeting. All the condensed essence accumulated in the family was refined into condensed essence pills, and all the pure hearts were refined into Qingling pills.
With sufficient resource supply, the fifth spiritual aperture has begun to take shape, condensed and achieved in these few days.
He did not forget to pay attention to the news about the coalition forces. The only good news was that there was no bad news. The eradication of the mutant trees went smoothly. They were removed bit by bit without any accidents.
Except for alchemy and cultivation.
Chen Jing is also hybridizing aberrant spores. He has seen various hybrid branches, but the effects are quite strange. They are equivalent to those things originally planted in the ground that can be planted in people.
It can only be said that it saves land.
But he was not very disappointed with this result. Compared with the use of the hybridized aberrant spores, the hybridized aberrant seeds themselves were more important.
“Now that two of the five internal organs and spiritual orifices have been opened, it is time to consider how to open the remaining three spiritual orifices.”
Chen Jing is distressed.
Suddenly the third sister's cry came from outside.
"Second brother, second brother! Go see grandpa quickly, woohoo!!"
He immediately put away the alchemy furnace and ran straight to the main house as quickly as possible.
The main house was already full of people, and Chen Ding was treating the injuries of the old man on the stretcher. The old man was covered in blood and was very weak, but he was still conscious.
The old man is the person from the Chen family who went to the coalition this time, Chen Jing's grandfather.
"Ahem, I didn't expect that I could still save a life. It's a pity that I couldn't buy you more time." The old man looked sluggish and was panting.
"Father, please stop talking now." Chen Ding's tone contained suppressed anger.
"It doesn't matter." The old man took a breath and said, "This time, I am lucky, but the Song family is really doomed..."
"Song family?" Chen Ding He opened his eyes wide and said in shock: "Is it the old lady of the Song family??"
"Ha, this old fox is dead." The old man said this without much joy, but with a bit of melancholy: "When I was young, I had a quarrel with the old fox of the Song family, and he always got the upper hand. Unexpectedly, I actually won here; Old Fox Song He is old and has lost his son, and all the middle-aged people died unexpectedly. He is alone and unable to support himself. This time the coalition army recruits people, he has to support it like me, but after my death, there are still descendants, he..."
Speaking of this, everyone felt a bit sad.
Although the Chen family and the Song family usually have some competition, the competition is not very intense. At most, they just dislike each other. The Song family will not be very happy if it really collapses.
Chen Jing’s eyes changed slightly.
This is actually a very bad signal.
Dead people are the next best thing. In this era, dead people are not as big a deal as they were in previous lives, but breaking up a family is different.
In the current environment, families live together as a unit. If someone can die and destroy the family, everyone will be really frightened.
Sure enough.
"My father is seriously injured. Second brother, you and your third brother should go to join forces next." The father pondered for a moment and said: "The Song family has learned from the past and we need to take it as a warning. Who knows about this battle?" When the fight lasts, the sword will be blind on the battlefield. If a generation is killed like the Song family, the family will not be far away."
"What can be done?" The second uncle's eyes flashed.
"The Song family is far away from our home, but the Jing family is very close to our home. If something happens, the Jing family can't guarantee that they won't add insult to injury. Although my son is smart, all five of the Jing family are pretty good... we have to be on guard."< br>
Chen Ding used the accent on the words "must be careful".
It means not only to defend, but also to look for opportunities to do evil things.
The wealthy families generally control the fights between vassal families and try to maintain harmony.
After all, when shepherding, if two sheep compete for the position of the alpha sheep and fight too hard, and one sheep dies, the rancher will suffer a loss.
But if one of the sheep is picked up by a wolf, the rancher doesn't care who becomes the leader next, as long as it doesn't affect the wool production. Chen Jing listened silently, and then looked at his second uncle, third uncle, and second grandfather, and the three of them followed the coalition troops down the mountain.
"Dad, why do you want me and other small families to send people to join the army? We have cultivation skills but no skills in fighting. We will be in trouble on the battlefield!" Big Brother Chen Gu clenched his fists, filled with anger.
“Ask your second brother.” Chen Ding replied tiredly.
“Because it’s cost-effective, this is one of them.” Chen Jing said in a low voice: “Compared with losing their carefully cultivated clan soldiers, we vassals are cheaper and more useful in comparison. The purpose of farming is to support the soldiers of the wealthy clan. We go to the battlefield to protect the lives of the soldiers of the wealthy clan. This is what we call vassalage.
Secondly, in this battle, the wealthy clan actually had no idea. They chose the strategy that best guaranteed their own strength. We only knew that something was wrong with the Qingnang Sect because we saved the disciples of the Qingnang Sect. They must also know this. You know, so they are conserving their strength to cope with subsequent changes. "
But the consequence of such a strategy is that these vassal families will suffer heavy losses.
Chen Gu was very angry: "The life of the wealthy family is life, but the life of my Chen family is not life. ! ”
Yes...
Before, the Qingnang Sect was suppressing us, and at the same time, the Qingnang Sect was holding the back. Of course, they would choose a restrained, friendly, and sustainable style of play.< br>
But now everything is chaotic and unclear, so of course the priority is to pass on the "loss".
It was passed on to the heads of the small families in the outer city.
Next, the originally smooth battle also became bumpy.
Just as Chen Jing said.
Broken family is a very bad signal. Broken family represents the current attitude of the wealthy family and conveys a clear signal.
Although everyone is farming, few of them are really stupid enough to pass it on.
Especially when one's own safety and interests are involved, it would be stupid to suddenly wake up at this time.
On the battlefield, cannon fodder does not want to be cannon fodder, but cherishes his life and cheats his teammates.
Will this fight go smoothly?
And this is another vicious cycle. The more everyone wants to preserve their strength, the worse they fight. The worse they fight, the higher the casualties. The higher the casualties, the more they want to preserve their own strength.
The upper and middle classes of the two major vassal families of the Lai family were all killed in the battle.
The vassal families of the Mi family suffered heavy losses.
The vassal families of the Duan family, the Chen family, the Jing family...
Behind the battle reports, there is an atmosphere that is gradually changing.
……
The rain of eclipsing spirits still showed no sign of stopping. On the battlefield, countless mutant trees were clearly killed, but mutant trees appeared one after another like mushrooms after a rain.
Gradually.
The coalition exists in name only.
The small family was destroyed and the surrounding counties fell one by one in the war.
No one knows when it will end, but at this time, everyone is gradually despairing.
Not desperation for survival.
But it is the despair of the wealthy family. Everyone realizes that if they want to survive, they can only rely on themselves.
