Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

Chapter 138 My damn memory! (Please give me monthly tickets)

"Wow!"

With a sharp cry.

The agile goshawk flew through the sky.

The majestic eyes looked down.

I saw a magnificent city with many houses and smooth roads, but it was empty inside with almost no one living there.

Looking west, on the thick, newly repaired city wall, stood warriors wearing cloth and iron armor, some carrying longbows, some holding slingshots, and some holding very strange weapons. The wall was also littered with a lot of messy things.

Further outside the city, there were densely stacked haystacks and firewood piles, which vaguely formed a huge circle and surrounded the entire city. Countless warriors were moving back and forth in it like ants, busy all the time.

At this time, Goshawk suddenly noticed that there were a large number of monster corpses piled up in the valley on the southwest side of the city. Countless monster corpses were spreading into the dense forest in the distance, as if forming a road of flesh and blood.

The goshawk flapped its wings suddenly and swooped down.

There was a "buzz" sound.

The sharp arrow whizzed through the air.

The goshawk let out a mournful cry, and its body, which was shot by the arrow, fell to the ground on the spot, falling into the corpses of countless monsters and becoming a part of them.

"Brother Bian is a great archer!"

Gou Jingxian smiled and praised:

“Is this the seventeenth one?”

Bian Conghu shook his head:
"I'm still no match for Zhang Xiaotian, who has shot 25 of them."

"Zhang Xiaotian was famous as a sharpshooter before, so there is no need for Brother Bian to underestimate himself."

Bian Conghu put away his longbow and sighed:
"In fact, I would rather go to the front line and deal with those black-winged borers at close range. Unfortunately, the front line requires at least the peak of Qi Condensation. I don't know how they are prepared now."

"Don't worry, there is no movement on the front line yet, so everything is stable."

"Perhaps, peace and stability won't last long."

……

Ten miles outside the city gate.

In front of many haystacks and firewood piles.

This is the front line against the Zerg swarm.

Dozens of warriors gathered here, and the weakest one was at the peak of Qi Gathering.

Among them, there are nearly ten violent spirits. All the violent spirits in Qingcang, except Yuan Tianhuan who is still in a coma, are here.

The violent ones all looked quite relaxed, while those at the peak of Qi Gathering were more or less nervous.

Yang Xiao kept licking his lips, and the big knife in his hand tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again.

Feng Changping was wearing a black armor and was adjusting the position of the armor plates back and forth, again and again.

Yao Lanxi kept observing the surrounding environment, and occasionally ran to some places to step on them.

Lian Mengshan, who was carrying a medicine box on his shoulder, was holding a coin and muttering:

"God of Heaven bless you, if you win this battle, I will tell you the truth!"

As he said this he threw the coin into the air.

The copper coin dropped down, spinning a few times before falling.

The side facing upwards is bare.

Lian Mengshan's face froze slightly, and then he continued:

"This coin is not the right weight. Change it for another one. If you win, you can give me a word!"

As he said this, he immediately threw in another copper coin.

After the coin is rotated, the back is still bare.

Lian Mengshan's face suddenly turned dark.

Wen Botao saw this and said helplessly:
"Master, you are a medical student after all, can you please not be so superstitious?"

"What do you know?"

Lian Mengshan glanced at him:
"The more I study medicine, the more I can feel the vastness of the world and the mystery of the human body. Some things cannot be explained clearly. How can I feel at ease if I don't ask God?"

"You didn't get any good results from asking this question?"

Wen Botao was speechless.

"Who said there was no question?"

Lian Mengshan picked up two copper coins, put the words on them facing outwards, and suddenly pinched them together in the middle.

"Winning means showing the word!"

He threw it into the sky with a smug look on his face.

The copper coin fell straight onto the ground and stood there motionless.

"You fucking-!"

……

Yu Yangqing stood in the corner of the crowd, standing with Su He and others.

Suddenly he became aware of some kind of gaze and immediately turned his head to look behind him, and then he saw the pitiful Ling Fengju.

Yu Yangqing's expression immediately became extremely complicated, followed by a cold snort and quickly turning his head away.

Ling Fengju's expression became more and more sad.

"Junior brother, I seem to have found love."

Ning Yan looked at Wu Xuantian, who was full of infatuation, and a look of doubt appeared on his face.

"Do you know the name of that pretty young lady and where she lives?"

Ning Yan followed his gaze and looked at Ling Fengju. He felt that this beautiful woman with a slim figure looked familiar, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember her.

Damn my memory.

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Wu, I really can't remember who she is."

"It's okay. I just asked. It would be great if you know. But it's okay if you don't know. Just wait for me to come forward and say hello."

As he spoke, Wu Xuantian lifted his bangs and walked over quickly.

He put on his brightest smile and said in his most magnetic voice:

"My dear, you can't come to this dangerous battlefield. If you get hurt accidentally, it will be so distressing."

Ling Fengju looked back and saw Wu Xuantian, his eyes were slightly red, making him look sympathetic. He sniffed and said:
"No matter what, I am also a peak Qi Condensation Master, so why shouldn't I come?"

Wu Xuantian's heart wrinkled as he looked at it, and he said hurriedly:

"Then let's do this. When we fight later, try to stay close to me. With me protecting you, you should be able to stay away from danger."

"Then thank you very much, Senior Brother."

Wu Xuantian smiled heartily and then went on to talk about many interesting anecdotes.

For a moment, there were bursts of laughter from the audience, and the atmosphere was very happy.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Kexin couldn't help but shook his head and said to Ning Yan:
"Junior Brother Ning, don't rush in too hard later. Among the three of us, your side is the most dangerous."

“That can’t be helped. All the top Qi Condensation masters on this field have to go in and attack. I’m not the only one in danger.

Besides, you guys are also going to lure the enemy, and it doesn’t seem any easier than us, so let’s work together and support each other.”

As they were chatting, Yue Letang, who was not far away, suddenly shouted loudly:

"coming!"

As soon as these words came out, the noise in the field disappeared.

Everyone looked up at the lush green mountains in the distance.

I saw several violent monsters rushing out of the forest in panic and rushing towards this side.

Soon, a black cloud emerged from the mountains and forests.

Gradually get bigger.

Gradually get bigger.

Finally, it swept in like a dark storm.

Many monsters were caught in the storm and only had time to let out short, miserable howls before they turned into dry bones in an instant.

Seeing this horrifying scene happening so close, even if they had never been to the Yin Jue Forest, even if they had never faced a swarm of insects, even if they had some hope in their hearts, everyone's heart suddenly turned cold.

"Trigger the fire!"

Qiao Zhanyue roared fiercely.

With the help of the violent warrior's momentum, the sound spread far away.

This order immediately alarmed the warriors who were hiding in the haystacks and firewood piles at the back.

"Trigger the fire!"

"Trigger the fire!"

"Trigger the fire!"

……

While shouting loudly, the crowd quickly lit up the haystacks and firewood piles around them, and then retreated into the city.

The haystacks and firewood piles were all ignited, and the wind fanned the flames, which quickly became raging and massive. Amid the crackling sounds, all the wooden boxes placed inside were burned, and thick gray-black smoke billowed up, mixed with countless insect repellents, deodorants and other messy odors, instantly filling the sky and the earth.

The fire quickly spread in all directions.

In just a moment, the entire area around Qingcang was set on fire, and countless thick smoke spread everywhere, forming a miasma that penetrated the sky and the earth, completely hiding the entire city in it.

All the warriors retreated into the city walls and even into the city.

The only people left were dozens of people standing outside the fire circle, on high alert.

A swarm of black-winged borers quickly approached, and the thick smoke clearly played a blocking role.

A large number of flying insects gathered into groups and hesitated outside the fire circle. There were even few insects that attacked Yue Letang and others.

Ning Yan casually smashed a black-winged borer to pieces, and looking at the swarm of insects so close, his scalp couldn't help but feel a slight tingling sensation.

It's not that he hasn't seen the power of the insect swarm. As early as in the Yin Jue Forest, when he faced the heart-eating insects, he had already felt the horror of the insect swarm.

But today, the swarm of black-winged borers also gave him a huge shock.

This shock is not because the individual strength of the black-winged borer is too strong. In fact, the strength of a single black-winged borer is probably less than one-tenth of that of the heart-eating borer.

The problem is that there are just too many black-winged borers!

It’s no exaggeration to say that it’s overwhelming!

At this moment, these insects gathered together and formed a solid suspended hill that could collapse at any time.

Standing in front of it, let alone those at the peak of Qi Gathering, even those at the peak of Qi Explosion would feel as humble and powerless as an ant.

This is simply not something humans can handle.

But at this moment, they just want to overturn it completely, destroy it, and collapse it.

Can this really be done?

Many people couldn't help but feel deeply shaken.

At this time, the wandering swarm of terrifying insects seemed to have finally discovered the large number of monster corpses that had fallen on the southwest side.

Immediately, countless black-winged borers swooped out and rushed towards that direction.

Seeing this, the people standing at the edge of the fire circle couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But soon, their expressions froze.

After about one-fifth of the black-winged borers flew out, no more insects came out.

Obviously, in the black-winged borer's judgment, only one-fifth of the monster's body would be enough to devour it completely.

one fifth!

Only one fifth!

This is far less than the half expected in advance!
"Everyone, we can't wait any longer!"

Jin Chaoliang said in a deep voice:
“The black-winged borers are also intelligent to a certain extent. They must have noticed the residents hiding in the city, so they lingered here and were unwilling to leave.

And those haystacks and firewood piles will eventually burn out, so we have to get rid of these bugs before the situation gets worse."

"Let's do it according to the plan we prepared in advance."

The angry men looked at each other and nodded.

Immediately afterwards, the eight people walked in different directions, their momentum gradually rising, and then they fiercely launched an attack on the insect swarm.

This scene, naturally, attracted the Zerg's counterattack.

A large number of black-winged borers rushed towards them, and many violent spirits immediately ran across the field, pulling large groups of black-winged borers with them, trying to weaken the huge mountain of insects in the middle.

Countless black-winged borers formed eight winding black insect belts and chased after the few people.

"It's now!"

With a loud roar, Ning Yan and many other people at the peak of Qi Gathering Stage took out the Corpse Soul Powder they had prepared in advance and divided into two groups on the spot. One group rushed towards the greatly weakened Insect Mountain, and the other group rushed towards the eight Insect Belts.

As they rushed forward, everyone started to practice the "Li Yuan Hua Chong Jue".

The black-winged borer is different from the heart-eating borer in that it targets all flesh-and-blood creatures and does not discriminate against or show leniency to monsters. Therefore, the original method of playing the monster is not feasible.

Based on his previous encounters and battles with the Heart-Eating Bug in the forest, Ning Yan deduced a new version of the spell, "Li Yuan Hua Chong Jue".

The "Li Yuan Insect Transformation Technique" has only one effect, which is to allow the user to disguise himself as a heart-eating insect.

Heartworms are derived from the metamorphosis of black-winged stem borers and are also of the same species as black-winged stem borers.

As long as you play as a Heartworm, you will not be attacked by Blackwinged Borers.

But this is only relative.

Because there are too many black-winged borers.

Even though the "Li Yuan Hua Chong Jue" could make most black-winged borers ignore them.

But if some of the insects rush close and hit you on the spot, there would be nothing you can do.

This is also the biggest trouble everyone is facing right now.

There is only one way to deal with it, and that is - kill!

There was a "boom" explosion.

Yu Yangqing punched down and forcibly cut a path through the dense swarm of insects. Several people at the peak of Qi Gathering level followed him and drilled into the hole, going deep into the swarm. They were attacked by a small number of black-winged borers from time to time along the way. They could only try their best to stick to the team and move in quickly. In the blink of an eye, they were submerged in the tide of insects.

The same thing happened on Ning Yan's side. He led Su He, Feng Changping and others and rushed into the insect tide from another place. While passing through, they had to kill the flying insects that rushed close to them from time to time, and at the same time they had to keep clearing a path inside.

Although the Soul Powder is extremely effective, it also has major flaws.

It takes a long time for the disease to take effect at first, but as time goes by and the disease spreads, it will take effect faster and faster.

Secondly, the efficacy of Corpse Soul Powder also has a limit. Although it can continuously devour the remnant souls of the dead to strengthen itself, this can only prolong the duration of the effect at most. As time goes by and the distance increases, the efficacy is constantly decreasing.

Basically, in order to perfectly eliminate an entire swarm of insects with a dose of Soul Powder, the swarm of insects needs to be gathered into a small group and Soul Powder released into it, and the Soul Powder should not be subject to too much external interference when it first takes effect.

The possibility of this being achieved in reality is almost zero.

Fortunately, this time we refined more than one hundred sets of Corpse Soul Powder, which greatly increased the success rate in dealing with the insect swarm.

Of course, no matter how high the success rate is, it still needs to be executed by people.

Someone needs to get into the center of the swarm, release the Soul Powder on the spot, and minimize disruption during the initial effect.

This is really not an easy thing to do.

It was originally planned that Baoqi would carry out this plan.

But later it was discovered that the violent life source was too powerful. Even if the "Li Yuan Insect Transformation Technique" was used, it would most likely attract many black-winged borers, leading to the failure of the mission.

That’s why we have the death squad composed of people at the peak of Qi Gathering.

Compared to violent energy, the presence of the peak of energy gathering is much weaker, like that of a baby compared to an adult.

If you are careful, you won't necessarily be attacked too much even if you stay in the innermost part of the swarm.

Of course, this is also an ideal state. The whole operation process is actually full of dangers, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a life-and-death situation.

Even so, more than fifty people at the peak of Qi Gathering were still gathered.

This is almost the only peak of Qi gathering left in the entire Qingcang.

But now, if you are not careful, you will die on the spot in the swarm of insects.

"no no--!"

Amidst the shrill cries, a person at the peak of Qi Gathering Stage made a mistake in his practice, and his disguise was shattered on the spot.

In just a moment, countless black-winged borers around rushed forward as if they had discovered fat prey.

Before he could adjust himself, there was only a shriveled corpse left.

Affected by this, some people's performance of qigong also experienced fluctuations.

Or maybe he leaked his own aura when he released the Soul Powder.

Short screams came one after another, stimulating everyone's already tense nerves.

Ning Yan carefully sprinkled a dose of Corpse Soul Powder on a black-winged borer.

In order to prevent the medicine powder from falling off, he specifically grabbed the black-winged stem borer, but he did not dare to use too much force to prevent accidentally killing it or causing it to send a distress signal to other black-winged stem borers around it.

Seeing the white medicinal powder slowly blending into the body of the black-winged borer, Ning Yan quickly let go of the black-winged borer that was already on the verge of going berserk.

At this time, Su He who was nearby was also sprinkling corpse soul powder on the insects. Unfortunately, the insect he caught was obviously more aggressive, and before the powder could be completely absorbed, it rushed out with a scream.

Su He became anxious and quickly stretched out his hand to stop it, his aura fluctuating slightly.

In an instant, countless flying insects around him pounced towards him.

"The Art of Transforming All Things into Humans!"

Ning Yan threw a punch.

The powerful punch suddenly detonated the swarm of insects that were approaching.

A huge hole was created on the spot.

At the same time, it also made some other insects nearby smell like humans.

With so many prey suddenly appearing, the surrounding insect swarms all became ferocious, and the scene was thrown into chaos.

Seeing the insect that was poisoned by the Corpse Soul Powder suddenly fall to the ground, Ning Yan knew that the Corpse Soul Powder had begun to take effect.

Without any hesitation, he shouted:
"let's go!"

And as they evacuated, the dense swarm of insects fell to the ground in large numbers, like a mountain collapsing.

And this kind of fall seemed to be contagious, spreading rapidly in all directions. In the blink of an eye, the ground was covered with a dense layer of insect corpses.

The abnormality occurring in the field was also sensed by the insect swarm, and many black-winged borers flew in all directions as if fleeing for their lives.

And as they rushed forward, insects continued to fall to the ground.

Wait until Ning Yan and his companions escape.

The size of the swarm of insects that had originally broken in was almost shrunk by half, now accounting for about one-fifteenth of the entire swarm.

In addition to his side, people at the peak of Qi Gathering level in other places also successfully deployed Corpse Soul Powder.

Large swarms of black-winged stem borers could be seen falling to the ground.

Three of the insect swarm streamers that were chasing the eight angry ones were also cut off on the spot.

Overall, this operation killed almost half of the insects, which can be said to be a fruitful result.

But the price was equally heavy.

There were more than fifty people at the peak of Qi Gathering, and more than twenty were trapped in the insect swarm forever, including some who were Ning Yan’s acquaintances.

According to this conversion ratio, by the time all the insect swarms on the field are destroyed, those at the peak of Qi Gathering will probably be almost all dead.

The more likely scenario is that even if all of them died, the Zerg might not be completely eliminated.

At this moment, many violent insects either used the "Li Yuan Hua Chong Jue" to retreat to the side, or swallowed detoxification pills and retreated into the smoke to temporarily avoid the insect attack.

Those who have reached the peak of Qi Gathering also temporarily stopped in the outside world to rest, sometimes attacking scattered small groups of insects, sometimes swallowing pills to restore their vitality and prepare for the next charge.

However, before they could organize a new wave of offensive, a huge change suddenly occurred on the field.

"Oh no! The wind direction has changed!"

Wu Xuantian's expression suddenly changed, and the other warriors around him were also shocked.

The wind that was originally blowing to the west suddenly began to blow to the south. As the wind direction changed, the tall smoke also drifted in different directions.

When the smoke changed direction, it became lighter in some places and thicker in others, with many gaps appearing in between. The black-winged borers took advantage of the gaps and quickly rushed in, like a black tide, ferociously rushing towards the direction of the city gate.

"Stop them!"

Yue Letang roared loudly and smashed the swarm of insects with a punch, smashing them to pieces in an instant.

The other warriors followed suit and attacked the insect swarm.

Although the weakest of them had reached the peak of Qi Gathering and their martial arts moves were all extremely powerful, there were simply too many black-winged borers. After a series of desperate attacks, they probably failed to kill even one-tenth of them, and the remaining insects still rushed towards the city gate at an incredibly fast speed.

Soon they passed through the thick smoke and arrived at the much quieter open space at the city gate, which was about a mile away from the city wall.

When the warriors standing on the city wall saw the swarm of insects pouring out of the smoke, their faces changed color, and then there was a roar of anger:
"Brothers, do it!"

This is the second line of defense for the city, composed entirely of experienced Qi Gathering masters.

As the sound fell on the spot, many warriors launched fine-mesh metal nets at the swarm of insects rushing towards them.

The black-winged borers that were caught were immediately caught in the net and fell into a ball. They were as heavy as huge meat balls and kept struggling in the glue-coated net.

In addition, some people threw many leather bags wrapped in sticky oil and glue. The leather bags exploded, and countless oil and glue splashed everywhere, immediately causing many black-winged borers to fall to the ground on the spot.

At the same time, some warriors shot rockets at the densely packed black-winged borers. Every time an arrow hit a spot, a small piece of the insects would be ignited on the spot.

Amidst the frequent sizzling sounds, many insects covered in flames fell to the ground.

……

The warriors had made extremely thorough preparations. The mountains of supplies on the city walls were transformed into various attacks and poured towards the insect swarms as if they were free.

Although they have captured and shot quite a few bugs.

But the number of black-winged borers is still too high.

The distance of only one mile was not enough for them to eliminate all the swarms of insects.

Black-winged borers continued to emerge from the miasma, and the leading group had already reached the city wall.

"Kill!"

The warriors, who were covered in cloth or iron armor, immediately stepped forward, bursting out their vitality, and killed the approaching black-winged borers.

With every punch, many insects would explode, and in the blink of an eye, the city walls were covered with insect corpses.

At the same time, many warriors were broken through by the black-winged borer that approached them, and they let out sharp and terrifying screams.

Some of them had their bodies sucked dry but their heads were still moving; some were simply doused with kerosene and set on fire on the spot; and some jumped off the high walls with swarms of insects crawling all over their bodies, falling into blinding blood flowers.

Due to the desperate obstruction of many experienced Qi Gathering masters, nearly half of the attacking insect swarm remained where they were, while the rest continued to rush towards the city quickly.

When the swarm of insects crossed the tall city walls and entered the deserted streets, rockets were shot out from deeper into the city, landing on the many wooden houses and firewood that had long been covered with kerosene, instantly igniting the whole thing.

Amid the crackling sounds, many of the insects that had rushed in were burned to death again.

Following the few streets along the way, he rushed inside and ran into a large group of ordinary Qi Gathering people who had been waiting there for a long time.

"For Qing Cang!"

"For the folks in my hometown!"

"kill!!"

A group of ordinary Qi Gathering warriors armed with weapons rushed forward first, and when they met the swarm of insects on a narrow road, they engaged in a fierce fight with the attacking swarm of insects.

I do not know how long it has been.

A large number of Yuanqi guarding an underground shelter suddenly saw many black-winged borers flying in the distance.

Although the number of these black-winged borers is much smaller than the initial swarm, there may be only a few thousand of them.

If it were a violent one, perhaps he could kill them all with just a few punches and kicks.

But after seeing these black-winged borers, many of the Yuan Qi on the field couldn't help but reveal expressions of fear and timidity. Some of them were trembling and almost wanted to escape.

No wonder they behave this way.

The best weapons in the city, the best armor, the most suitable metal nets for killing black-winged borers, and other items were all distributed to those who were gathering Qi on the front line.

They were guarding here, with only a few weapons in their hands and only a few hundred pounds of flesh and blood. They were really shabby.

Not to mention that these bugs gathered together, they could be easily killed by concentrated energy and violent energy.

What use can their little energy be in staying here?
Is it food to fill your stomach?

Everyone on the field was thirsty and their morale was unstable. Facing the approaching swarm of insects, they were almost falling apart.

At this moment, a trembling fat man clenched the sledgehammer in his hand, pursed his lips again and again, and finally suddenly shouted:

"Tell my mother! I, Zhang Erniu, am not a coward!"

After saying that, he picked up the sledgehammer and rushed forward yelling.

He was obviously scared to death, tears were streaming down his face, and his legs were shaking, but he never stopped.

A neighbor behind him saw this and suddenly laughed:

"You, Zhang Erniu, are not a coward? Am I, Wang Tiezhu, a coward?"

Before he finished speaking, he rushed forward with a knife in hand.

This scene also aroused the bloodiness of more warriors:
"Tell Cuihua that I will marry her after we defeat the insect swarm!"

"Little brother! My private money is hidden under that big pine tree, don't forget to take it!"

"Old man, remember to feed my cat! It won't eat anything other than dried fish!"

"Yuezhen, I have never dared to tell you that I am ill and will not live long. Please let me be a hero for the last time!"

"You dead man, do you have to hold it in until now? The doctor has told me that I have been secretly working to save money during this period. After this period, let's go to Fulong for treatment together!"

……

One message after another, one vital energy after another, all set out on the road to move forward.

The number of people gradually increased, and their footsteps became scattered, then dense, rapid, and fierce.

Numerous vital energies shouted and rushed forward, with a deafening roar, like a wave, colliding with the insect swarm.

Soon, Ning Yan rushed over.

The whole place was littered with fallen bodies.

Among the corpses, there were still many warriors, killing like crazy, and constantly fighting with the remaining insect swarms.

If you don’t have weapons, use your fists. If your fists are weak, bite with your teeth.

Many warriors used the most brutal and primitive fighting methods to fight the equally exhausted insect swarms in the final battle.

Seeing this scene, Ning Yan didn't waste any words. He threw a beast meat ball into his mouth, and as soon as his vitality was generated, he blasted it out on the spot.

After dozens of punches, his body was empty and the swarm of insects on the field were also empty.

Ning Yan didn't insist any longer and sat down on the ground.

Even though the tendons in his body had been squeezed to the point of twitching and his head ached as if it was about to split, the corners of his mouth still couldn't stop rising.

At this time, those crazy killing enthusiasts seemed to have reacted.

I looked around but didn't see any black-winged borers that could fly.

With only the hammer handle left in his hand, Zhang Erniu, who had lost a lot of weight, looked bewildered and said:

"The swarm was wiped out?"

"we won?"

The people around seemed a little bit unbelievable.

When they reacted, shouts of surprise rang out one after another:

"Won!"

"We won! Hahaha!"

"Damn bug, won't it die before your grandfather?!"

"Brother, you don't need to take my private money. I'm still alive, hahahaha!"

……

There were surprises and cheers on the field, mixed with occasional roars and howls of venting.

But soon, a startling cry interrupted the festive atmosphere:
"Yuezhen, wuwuwu, my Yuezhen!!!"

Looking at the young man hugging a woman and crying, the people around him gradually fell silent.

The survivors began to search the corpses on the field, looking for their fellow disciples and relatives, or looking for some familiar faces.

From time to time, there would be sobs and angry scolding on the field.

Although they did win, it was a pyrrhic victory at best in their war against the Zerg.

Ning Yan swallowed a beast meat pill, and his stomach immediately bulged. He struggled to practice the "Void Swallowing Heaven Art", but the digestion speed was pitifully slow, even slower than when he was in normal condition and did not practice.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. Along the way, his internal energy had been exhausted countless times. In the end, it was no longer a question of whether there were enough beast meat balls, but whether his energy could be generated quickly enough.

Just like him now, his stomach is bulging. It will probably take most of the day to completely digest the nutrients in it.

What was more crucial was his mental fatigue. When he returned to the battlefield in the city, he had used the "Kun Yun Fist" several times to stop the insect swarm. Now, he only had a tiny bit of mental strength left, probably less than one-fifteenth of his peak period.

Sometimes it went dark in front of his eyes, as if he could sleep forever if he closed his eyes.

But Ning Yan knew that it was not time to rest yet.

He gritted his teeth, supported his knees, and forced himself to stand up from the ground. This action alone made the muscles in his calves twitch.

After standing there for a while, he took a step and walked back.

The entire county has turned into a battlefield. Dead and wounded warriors can be seen everywhere along the way, as well as large swarms of insects falling to the ground.

Sometimes you can see some warriors trampling on the insects that have not yet completely died, venting the fierce anger in their hearts.

As he walked forward, Ning Yan suddenly saw several familiar figures:

"Master Jin, Brother Tang?"

Jin Chaoliang turned around in silence.

Tang Junwen immediately turned around, his eyes red and tears streaming down his face.

At the same time, Ning Yan saw Xue Longxing lying against the brick wall.

His eyes were wide open and his expression was ferocious. The left half of his body looked like a normal person, but the right half was so shrunken that even his clothes could hardly hold on to it.

Looking at Xue Longxing who was dying nearby, Ning Yan's expression couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Tang Junwen choked up and said:

"Originally, the dean didn't have to die. He just wanted to save me, so he suddenly burst into a burst of energy, attracting the swarm of insects to chase him, and in the end..."

As he spoke, he burst into tears.

Jin Chaoliang sighed slightly and said:

"I came too late. If I had come a step earlier, perhaps Dean Xue wouldn't have to suffer this disaster."

Ning Yan remained silent, feeling heavy in his heart.

He actually had very few dealings with Xue Longxing, but from past contacts, he knew that the other party was undoubtedly a warm and cheerful person, who was gentle and polite to others, and did not show any arrogance because of his status as the dean and his violent strength.

Even when he proposed to practice "Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body" not long ago, the other party immediately agreed to his request and also gave him five additional external medicines needed for the practice.

Why would such a good person die?

Ning Yan actually understood that this world does not determine the length of life by good or bad.

Even good people may be more likely to meet their end because of the sense of responsibility and various ideals they bear.

Take Xue Longxing for example. If he had ignored Tang Junwen and not offered a helping hand, he might not have died here.

But it was precisely that enthusiasm and chivalrous spirit that caused him to encounter such a disaster.

This made Ning Yan feel a sense of warning.

It’s not impossible to be a good person.

But be a better person who is stronger and more powerful.

Only in this way can we save more people and overcome more dangers.

Just as I was thinking about it, a steady set of footsteps suddenly approached.

"Master."

"Master Qiao."

When Qiao Zhanyue came closer and saw Xue Longxing's body, he couldn't help but pause.

After listening to the two people's stories, he didn't say much, but strode over, squatted down, and then carried Xue Longxing on his back.

"Long Xing, I'll take you home."

Carrying Xue Longxing on his back, facing the setting sun, he slowly walked towards the direction of Weiwu Courtyard, and even his body seemed slightly hunched.

After a moment's silence, Ning Yan and Jin Chaoliang asked about the movements of the insect swarm.

After the swarm of insects entered the city, they chased them along the way and soon got separated.

The only thing Ning Yan knew was that the insect swarm should have been killed.

After dealing with the swarm of insects in the Eagle House, he climbed up to a high place and looked into the distance. He found that except for the movement of the swarm of insects in front of the underground shelter, there was almost no trace of the swarm of insects in other places, and even the shouting of killing was rarely heard.

After receiving affirmative responses from Jin Chaoliang and the others, Ning Yan asked about the group of black-winged borers outside the city.

When the insect swarm was initially divided, nearly one-fifth of the black-winged borers flew to the valley where the corpses of monsters were piled up.

If the monster over there is unable to satisfy the black-winged borer and allow it to strike back on the spot, considering the current situation in the city, it may not be able to stop it.

Fortunately, the information given by Jin Chaoliang made Ning Yan feel relieved.

According to reports from several observation posts outside the city, the group of insects followed the path they had set up in advance and went deep into the dense forest, sweeping away the many animals attracted by the corpses of the monsters, chasing them along the way and almost never coming back.

After making sure that he no longer had any worries, Ning Yan finally let go of all his burdens.

After saying goodbye to the two people, he immediately returned to Xiaoyuanmen.

Entering the inner courtyard, Ning Yan saw Meng Kun applying medicine to Zhu Kexin's wound. He put aside his worries and asked:
"Where's Senior Brother Wu?"

"Don't worry, the boy is alive and well. The last time I saw him, he was following a young lady, asking about her well-being."

At this point, Zhu Kexin frowned slightly again:
"But based on my intuition, I always felt that there was something wrong with that young lady, but the distance was too far, so I couldn't see what was wrong for a while."

"Do not worry."

Ning Yan smiled and replied:

"The person in the city who can make Senior Brother Wu suffer a loss is probably not born yet."

Zhu Kexin shook his head:
"Let him be. Anyway, this guy is always restless, so he better not cause any trouble."

As they were chatting, they heard a sound of light footsteps outside the yard.

Then Zhao Ming, with a pale face, walked in from outside.

"Brother Zhao, what about you?"

Ning Yan frowned when he saw his loose left sleeve.

Zhao Ming showed his wrinkled and dry left arm, smiled grimly and said:

"Fortunately, it was just an arm that was bitten by an insect. Compared to those who died in battle, it is much better."

"then."

Zhu Kexin casually threw over a medicine box.

Zhao Ming opened it and said in surprise:

"It's a flesh-growing pill? I won't be polite then."

As he spoke, he swallowed the scarlet flesh-growing pill in one gulp, and a flush of color suddenly rose on his face.

As a result, the shriveled left arm also began to recover rapidly, gradually transforming into a normal human form.

"It's worthy of being a precious pill that nourishes blood and regenerates muscles. The effect is so obvious."

He moved his left arm, then sighed:

"It's a pity that even Senior Brother Zhu can't produce a few of these precious pills. After this war, there must be many warriors in the city who are injured like me. I don't know what will happen to them in the future."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

There must be other pills similar to the Muscle Growing Pill in the city. Their effects may not be as good as the Muscle Growing Pill, but they can also promote blood and muscle growth. The problem is, no matter how many of these pills there are, how can they be enough compared to the number of injured warriors in the city?
If we delay any further and miss the best time for treatment, even if a large amount of medicine is delivered through the trade route, the damaged parts of the body will never be able to recover to their original state.

Not to mention that it cannot be restored to its original state, it may also delay future progress.

After all, some of the tendons and veins in the body have withered, and many skills may be difficult to practice.

Is there no way to solve this problem?

After all, everyone was injured while protecting the citizens.

Ning Yan thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
