Chapter 350: Transfer of Authority of the Sacred Cauldron of the State
"All dead."

Zhou You looked at the towering stone pillars in the city. The faces had different expressions, showing their reactions before death.

Captain Ye who protects his subordinates, Captain Chang who bears grudges, and...

The eight ghost-catching captains of Gongliang City were completely wiped out, and countless city gate guards under their command were also killed.

The strength of latent charms varies. The weak ones are almost at the level of mid-to-high-level martial artists, while the strong ones are even comparable to the level below the third level of martial arts.

The information from the gate guards of Gongliang City was wrong. The target was not a small latent demon, but a big latent demon of strong martial arts level.

One word difference and all the city gate guards were wiped out.

"The intelligence was wrong. Captain Chang and his men fell into a trap."

Zhou You instantly understood that the mastermind behind this big hidden monster must be the Golden Immortal Kunpengzi.

He bewitched people's hearts, drove away evil spirits, devised a plan to destroy the city gate guards, and scared away two major families, completely conquering the city.

Zhou You withdrew his gaze and heard the noise coming from all directions, knowing that this was not the time to be sentimental.

Although they escaped from the city, the wilderness was full of rebel soldiers roaming around looking for prey.

Food, tree bark, pikas, and even unconscious companions are all prey.

Human bones with teeth marks can be seen everywhere in the grass and mud. It is impossible for them to be so clean by decaying in a short time.

A team of less than a hundred people roaming in a wilderness full of dangers is no less than breaking into a zoo with the cages wide open.

In such a scene, every tree and grass seemed to be an enemy. The family members were so frightened that they lost their minds and collapsed when they heard the cry of an owl.

Fortunately, there are quite a few warriors in the team, and they are all elite soldiers.

Zhou You is a martial artist, and Zuo Twelve and the others are also qi-blooded warriors. Unless they encounter a large-scale rebel force or even a large number of martial artists dispatched, it will not be a problem for them to escape with their families.
.
……

The situation on the map on the panel has changed again.

Originally, the rebel soldiers surrounding the city walls were in a disorganized state. The closer they were to the city walls, the tighter their organization became, and the more masters emerged. Almost all the elite troops were at the foot of the city.

On the contrary, the further you go out, the more the place becomes a mess, with hungry refugees looking for food everywhere.

Of course, these are red dots of different sizes, representing the enemy camp.

At this moment, these red dots were forcefully inserted into a lot of yellow light flows, causing chaos in their formation.

Well, the remaining martial artists in the city have begun to break out!

Zhou You breathed a sigh of relief. This was a good thing. With these people attracting fire, he would have less pressure to bear.

He was about to ask the team to speed up, when suddenly...

Suddenly, a huge force came from his waist, as if a big hand grabbed him, and Zhou You was unable to move in an instant.

Anyone who can do this is at least a high-level martial artist, or even someone with strong martial arts skills.

What could have attacked him in the wilderness?
Zhou You's heart was beating violently, and suddenly he saw something on his body and understood instantly, "So this is it!"

This object is exactly the waist badge of the city gate guard.

"What do you want to do? The city gate guards are all burned to ashes. I am just a wisp of ember, unable to bear the burden of the justice of my country."

Zhou You reached out to press the badge on his waist. All the guards at the city gate were dead, and adding one more would be useless.

It was a great hidden demon, a terrifying existence at the powerful martial arts level. No one could deal with it unless they came from the city!

Zhou You's small body should be used to protect his parents and the companions around him who trust him and risk their lives.

But the waist card didn't listen to the explanation, and directly used a huge force to pull his feet off the ground and suspended in the air. At the same time...

Gongliang City turned into an Asura hell, with living people becoming food on the plates of ghosts, regardless of whether they were in the inner or outer city.

Most of the city gate guards' quarters had been reduced to ruins, and the few remaining broken walls were smoking and carbonizing in the flames until they finally shattered to the ground.

"Hu, hu, hu!"

A young man wearing the uniform of a city gate guard looked towards the stone pillars and saw many familiar faces, and couldn't help shedding tears.

He came here to die, knowing full well that he was no match for Qianmei, but he wanted to be the last city gate guard to die in battle.

When the city was broken, how could there not be one or two brave people who were willing to sacrifice themselves alone?
Suddenly, a fishy wind blew up, and a ghost rushed to the vicinity. When it saw the young man, his eyes lit up.

Its true form was revealed, without disguise, and its appearance was uglier than the most deformed wild animal.

"Death to the Charm."

The young man chopped forward with a knife. He was just an apprentice of strength and had no knowledge of qi and blood circulation, nor did he know how to use weapons. Facing the lowest level of charm, the virtual charm, he still mustered up the courage to fight.

The knife hit the virtual spirit's arm, sparks flew, and under the huge impact, the boy's back hit the stone wall, and his mouth was full of blood.

The ghost pounced over with a sinister smile, but before he could catch the young boy, a white light flashed before his eyes.

The next moment, it lost all consciousness and disappeared.

The young man saw clearly that a ball of white light suddenly emerged from the ruins of the base and easily destroyed the phantom.

Hidden in that ball of white light was an ancient little tripod, which kept getting bigger during the flight.

Ding vessels are very important in this world. Common people cannot use them. Only monarchs and aristocratic families are qualified to use them.

The city gate guards serve the feudal lord, so it is reasonable for them to be rewarded with tripods and utensils.

Whoosh!
The small tripod was wrapped in white light and flew across the boy's scalp before disappearing.

The expectant young man was dumbfounded on the spot. It turned out that I was not the chosen one!
The small tripod was shaking slightly, and the white light was flickering like a light bulb with poor contact. If you look closely, you will find that the frequency of the vibration is exactly the same as the vibration of Zhou You's waist badge a hundred miles away.

"Trial Project (Five-Star): 780 years of experience as the gate guard of Gongliang City, the designated successor, the highest-ranking member of the survivor team Zhou You (apprenticeship period), wields the divine weapon bestowed by the king, and drives away evil spirits that cause harm."

In an instant, the information from the badge made Zhou You suddenly realize.

One city, one guard; this is the standard configuration. Every city gate guard has a magic weapon bestowed by Junshan.

The sacred artifact is of great importance to the country. Once it enters the city, it will take root in the ground and cannot be moved. It can only remain at the city gate guard station and cannot be used.

As the artifact garrisoned the city and protected local peace, it accumulated tremendous energy.

This time, all the guards at the gate of Gongliang City were mobilized, which was definitely a trap. Even if only one captain was left behind, they could rely on the power of the artifact to defend the city, and Qianmei would not be able to break into the city and wreak havoc.

Kunpengzi's plan was extremely vicious. He slaughtered all the eight ghost-catching captains, as well as any officers who were even slightly qualified to be substitutes. Although the magic weapon was still there, there was no one to take charge of it.

However, he still missed one person, Zhou You.

Zhou You is an outlier in the balance. He is called an apprentice, but in fact, he is a lieutenant second only to the martial arts master level among the city gate guards. There is still no updated information.

Now, Zhou You has broken through to the level of martial artist and is qualified to be a candidate for colonel. He is the ninth colonel after the eight great colonels, the hidden colonel.

Now, he has the highest position and the strongest power. The artifact can sense him immediately through the badge on his waist.

Coincidentally, the panel also joined in the fun and listed the tasks for this time.
