Chapter 351 Chaos in Northern Xinjiang (23)
An Jing and Fu Xie communicated about matters related to the demon and the calamity. To outsiders, it seemed that An Jing had been staring intently at the monster's corpse to observe the details, turning over the intestines from time to time, and opening the ribs to look at the internal organs from time to time.
Although it's not surprising, An Jing is so young, and it's normal to be curious about monsters.
To be honest, there were many warriors present who liked to play with toads or bugs from their hometown when they were young. They would play with them all night long.
In terms of An Jing's strength, the monster is not much better than a toad, so naturally it is just a plaything in his hands.
But this selfless research spirit really made them shudder while admiring him.
——How do you want me to talk to you?
Xu Tai was extremely embarrassed at this moment.
An Jing revealed his identity and told him that he wanted to go to Linjiang City. This request was easily fulfilled because Xu Tai and other escorts from the Hanlang Escort Agency were targeting Linjiang City.
But now all the brothers are exhausted, and some have failed and been seriously injured. Obviously, there is no way to set off immediately. If we really want to go, we can only divide our troops.
As the leader of the team, Xu Tai must lead the team to guide Anjing, but without him in charge, he would be worried about something happening to the brothers left behind.
——Even monsters can gather together to attack the convoy. There is no safe place around Broken Blade Mountain!
Xu Tai originally wanted to ask An Jing if he could give him some time and set off immediately after they healed his brother's injury, but with An Jing's current state of muttering to the monster's corpse, the well-known chief escort was not willing. disturb the other party.
And just when Xu Tai was struggling, he suddenly flashed out of the corner of his eye, his pupils tightened, and he shouted to An Jing: "Be careful! Behind!"
An Jing, who seemed to be immersed in analyzing monsters, had already noticed something was wrong when Xu Tai opened his mouth. He turned his head, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and an ice cone flew straight towards the back of his head. Melt and turn into a ball of water vapor.
The invisible and qualityless essence fire followed the trajectory and went straight into the corpses of many monsters not far away. Suddenly, a thin neighing sound came, and a small black shadow sprang out from the corpse of the monster. After running a few steps, it fell. On the ground, it turned into charcoal and never moved again.
"Is there anyone alive?"
Although being hit by an ice pick would only break into ice picks, An Jing was still a little surprised that he was actually attacked by a monster: "I clearly remembered to finish killing him."
He threw down the messy monster corpses in his hands and walked towards the small black figure - it was the embryo of a fawn.
Seeing the embryo that had already formed, An Jing suddenly realized that among the many monsters he had just killed, one of the doe as the original body was pregnant and was about to give birth. The mother and the offspring were infected by the demonic energy and turned into monsters.
Just now, it was this monster hiding in the mother's body. Because its own vitality was too weak, it escaped An Jing's perception, and then launched a sneak attack.
"Interesting, I remember according to Fu Xie, if the mother body is a mortal beast, the monster should not be able to use magic and can only rely on brute force, let alone an unborn embryo."
An Jing leaned down with great interest and cut open the demon corpse with the Overlord Sea Knife, but still found nothing: "Is this the result of the demon's infestation and progress over the years?"
"Compared to the evolution of the demon."
Fuxie said: "I think it's more likely that someone is reforming behind the scenes."
indeed.
An Jing stood up, turned his head, smiled at Xu Tai and others: "Thank you for reminding me. There is a town not far away, let's take a rest first." "I have been away from Northern Xinjiang for almost three years, and I don't know where I am recently. What’s the situation? I need to trouble you guys to explain it to me.”
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Seeing that An Jing was easy to talk to, Xu Tai breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately greeted the team, lifted up the wounded, and then led the team towards Shimen Town.
As a village that Xu Tai originally wanted to use as a stronghold to defend and kill monsters, Shimen Town has quite strong defense measures.
Its outermost layer is a wooden thorny fence, and then there is a circle of thorn pits dug out. The solid stone wall is stained with blood, and there are some heads of horse bandits and monsters hanging on it, which are enough to prove its strong and powerful past. wind.
But even for such a strong town, with such virtuous townspeople, they had no choice but to move away when encountering a wave of frost beasts. However, they did not plan to completely abandon this place, and many houses were sealed, proving that they were only leaving temporarily.
After arriving at Shimen Town, the person giving orders suddenly changed from Xu Tai to An Jing.
An Jing ordered everyone to light fires and boil water, tidy up the houses, search for fuel, and treat the wounded with great skill. He even expressed condolences to the injured warrior and gave him a magical plaster.
The plaster was applied to the wound, and the pain soon disappeared, leaving only a slight weakness. When the injured warrior took two steps in surprise, the entire Hanlang Escort Agency cheered, shouting that Young Master Jing was righteous.
Xu Tai was among them. He only realized when he cheered along with his bodyguard that he had naturally become An Jing's deputy. He was bossed around by him, but he didn't feel anything was wrong.
Of course this is nothing. Not to mention that An Jing saved their lives from many monsters and was so powerful. They should have followed suit and An Jing's orders were also very orderly.
Smooth and non-contradictory orders were issued one after another. The escorts who were still a little flustered due to the monster attack gradually calmed down while executing the orders.
As the crude camp was built and the crossbows on the city wall were set up, in just three quarters of an hour, the originally panicked crowd became calm and orderly again.
This old-fashioned ruler doesn't look like a teenager in his early teens!
“Brother Xu, please sit down.”
At this moment, in the already warm room, An Jing was holding a cup of hot water and asked Xu Tai to sit down as if he were a master. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, Xu Tai still accepted the invitation and handed over: "The world often says that God I thought it was an exaggeration to say that your destiny is different from that of ordinary people, but looking at it now, it turns out that I am being shallow. People like you, Mr. Jing, are really otherworldly."
He first saluted and thanked Anjing for saving the lives of everyone in their escort agency and for donating medicine to treat the wounded, and then took his seat.
This seemingly rugged chief escort was actually very polite. After he sat down, he took the initiative to introduce the situation around Broken Edge Mountain without any need for words, and told him about the beast tide and the current difficulties in Linjiang City.
"But currently, the situation around Broken Blade Mountain is much worse than I thought."
After drinking the hot water, Xu Tai frowned: "North of Broken Blade Mountain is where the Northern Barbarian army is stationed. Although the Frost Tribulation has temporarily stopped, it has no intention of heating up."
"Now there are such a group of monsters mixed in with the beast tide... I really don't know why they attacked us. We are obviously just transporting some food and medicine that Linjiang City urgently needs!"
"Where is the Dachen government?"
An Jing asked thoughtfully, while Xu Tai shook his head: "Some time ago, the superiors issued an order, declaring that the north of Broken Edge Mountain was a war zone, everything was transferred to military control, and many civilian officials were evacuated. Most of the military attachés were also transferred there The front line is no longer stationed in the city."
"So, there are actually not many Dachen officials around Duanren Mountain. It is almost a no-nonsense zone."
"I know Mr. Jing, you came to Northern Xinjiang to find your mother, right? If you think your mother is in Linjiang City, then we will set off immediately. There is a shortage of food and medicine there, and there is no official control. The situation is not very good. optimism!"
