Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 142 Suppressing the Poison
Pei Nai also took off the spear from his back with his backhand.

When faced with a critical moment, the people calmed down.

In the eerie silence, there was a faint sound of chaotic, noisy and dense sounds.

These strange sounds gradually approached them and became clearer and clearer, like nails scratching on trees, clothes sliding across fallen leaves on the ground, and irregular bones turning.

Pei Nai and Han Ruize looked at each other and were sure in their hearts, "It's not Wu Jun!"

Han Ruize nodded, "It's a large number of poisonous people gathered together."

"They are luring the mutated poisonous people here to use as their weapons?" Pei Nai was furious, "You bastards."

She and her soldiers were waiting for the enemy to arrive. Pei Nai shouted to the people who were still in a daze behind her, "Run forward! What are you waiting for? Haven't you seen a poisonous person?!"

Countless people were awakened by her scolding, and they stumbled and followed the soldiers who were carrying the elderly and children, running towards the entrance of the underground city.

When the army of poisonous people smelled the scent of flesh and blood, more and more roars were heard.

They formed into a large black shadow that poured down the hillside, covering the sky and the earth, making people feel fearful.

Tianyao's archers were also in position, and thousands of arrows were shot out immediately, like locusts swarming on the ground.

Large numbers of poisoned people had their heads or joints broken and fell down in the rain of arrows.

Tens of thousands of people in the Valley Kingdom saw with their own eyes that after the first wave of arrow defense stopped, two people simultaneously jumped over the defenders' shields and faced the deformed monsters that were constantly rushing towards them.

One held a spear and the other held a long whip.

The spear tip sweeps across, the sharp waves cut through, the whip swings, and the momentum swallows the lake and the sea!
The moves he used at will strangled wave after wave of crazy poisonous people, bringing an overwhelming sense of oppression to the battlefield.

"It's the Zhubei Spear and the Wanyue Blood Whip." Many people went from muttering to exclaiming.

Some people were so stunned that they even slowed down their pace and blocked the road.

"Too strong! The top of the Three Mountains and Five Sacred Mountains."

"Don't block the road! They have come all the way here to save us, and you are just standing here waiting to die?!" The person behind him pushed him away in dissatisfaction.

Many of the moves of Zhubei Spear and Wanyue Blood Whip were originally designed for group attacks on the battlefield.

Pei Nai and Han Ruize were already very familiar with these monsters without mind and inner strength, and they locked down the offensive line firmly.

The ground was littered with corpses, piled up like mountains.

“It turns out that in the Battle of Yunxuan, it is said that the two of them blocked the village and an army of 100,000 could not break into it. This is not false,” a Tianyao soldier murmured as he looked at the scene in front of him.

When the poison has invaded the body for too long, the poisoned people's blood has turned into a sticky gray-black color, gathering together as if to flood the earth.

Pei Nai looked at the endless army of poisonous people, swinging his spear and asking Han Ruize who was not far away: "Wu Thief didn't move hundreds of thousands of poisonous people here?"

"It can't be transferred that quickly, at most a few tens of thousands." Han Ruize took the time to answer her.

"Oh my God." Pei Nai was still shocked by the number.

At this moment, a familiar pressure came from a distance, and countless poisonous monsters had their limbs broken and fell to the ground like puppets.

"Gu Jinheng and the others are here." Pei Nai turned around and looked at the front of the team and raised his voice.

On the opposite hillside to the south.

Gu Jinheng stopped his mount and took in the situation from a high vantage point. He used Huo Jiang's Yin Gong to restrain the poisoner and helped Pei Nai and the defenders resist the poisoner's attack.

Da Xian, Shao Liran and others also caught up with their troops.

Da Xi Shangle looked out at the battle situation ahead from the top of a high mountain, his eyes slightly widened, as if there were stars shining.

She said to Shao Liran casually: "What should I do? I actually think Sister Pei Nai and Han Ruize are a good match! Their moves and tacit understanding are so amazing!"

Shao Liran didn't have the energy to answer her at the moment.

Instead, Gu Jinheng listened carefully, distracted himself from the battlefield, and glanced at her coldly.

Da Xi Shangle held Shuang Gou's hand and hugged his arm.

The killing intent was so strong that she didn't dare to say anything more.

Da Xian, Shao Liran and others, with the support of cavalry, rushed down from the high slope and rushed into the army of poisonous people.

A tear appeared in an instant.

The Tianyao army used their flesh and blood to block the people in the valley, resisting the attacks of the poisonous people and preventing the monsters from touching the people.

As expected, misfortunes never come alone, as early warning horns were sounded on the East Mountain.

Pei Nai's heart was beating like a drum, and he immediately felt something was wrong.

Then they heard the sound of iron hooves hitting the ground from the opposite side. It turned out to be another detachment of the Wu tribe.

Gu Jinheng's gaze shifted to the other end of the battlefield.

Under his gaze, the Wu clan cavalrymen who were charging on horseback could not bear the huge pressure and fell off their horses one after another. But as they fell, they threw the spherical objects wrapped in black cloth in their arms towards the crowd.

A dozen spheres arced through the air.

The black cloth was blown open by the wind, revealing a hollow ball woven from iron wire. The black poisonous powder blocks inside the iron net came into contact with the air, melted into the wind, and floated all over the sky.

"It's poison gas!" Those who had witnessed the Wu clan poisoning shouted in despair at this moment.

The poisonous gas not only covered countless civilians and Tianyao soldiers in the valley, but also covered Pei Nai and Han Ruize far to the west.

Gu Jinheng's face suddenly changed on the high slope in the south.

He shouted Pei Nai's name, his eyes bloodshot, but he couldn't stop the spread of the poison gas.

At the critical moment, Han Ruize threw Pei Nai to the ground.

He covered Pei Nai's mouth and nose with his hands and pressed her face under his chest to protect all her exposed organs.

Pei Nai wanted to cover it for Han Ruize, but it was too late.

Han Ruize's heartbeat was right next to her ears.

But she could feel Han Ruize's body tremble for a moment when the poison invaded his body, and then his whole body trembled as he tried to resist the poison.

Everyone around had fallen down, and the wailing and screaming were endless, intersecting at the periphery and making everything noisy.

Under Han Ruize's protection, Pei Nai was not infected by the poison gas.

She pushed Han Ruize up and held his shoulders with both hands, but saw the gray color spreading in his eyes.

At this moment, he looked weak and in pain, a look that Pei Nai had never seen him look before.

When tens of thousands of people are poisoned at the same time, they will turn into man-eating monsters.

Survival was at stake, and the situation was like an avalanche tearing through the mountains. It collapsed in an instant, roaring and sweeping away all living things.

Until, an indescribable and terrifying divine pressure, with an indestructible force, enveloped everyone present.

Like a solid rock, it stood alone halfway up the mountain, withstanding the overwhelming avalanche and leaving a glimmer of hope for all the poisoned people.

Gu Jinheng simultaneously controlled the poison in the bodies of all the people in the valley, keeping them conscious.

Pei Nai looked at Han Ruize in front of her worriedly. His eyes slowly returned to normal after struggling and resisting, revealing the eye color she was familiar with.

Her heart finally recovered.

"Hold on, Gu Jinheng doesn't have the antidote!" Pei Nai helped Han Ruize up.

In the brief moment when the Wu tribe threw the poison, the army of poisonous people from the west rushed over again.

Da Xian, Shao Liran and others have arrived with support.

Huyan Weizhao, Daxi Shangle, and Du Ling all jumped on their horses, drew their weapons, and killed the poisonous people who came one after another.

Du Ling looked anxious. He said to Pei Nai, "Madam, the master can't hold on for much longer. He told you to only save the most important people and evacuate first."

Pei Nai understood how serious the situation was at the moment.

Gu Jinheng alone suppressed the poisonous changes of tens of thousands of people. No matter how strong the internal strength was, it could not withstand such consumption.

But if the army of poisoned people in front of them is not dealt with, and if the poisoned civilians and soldiers do not have enough antidotes and no one restrains them, there are still more than 200,000 people behind their team, and they will not escape death.

At this moment, the decision the commander must make is imminent.

Sacrificing these 10,000 or 20,000 people and saving the more than 200,000 people behind them is the way to minimize casualties.

So Gu Jinheng asked them to evacuate.

Pei Nai was extremely heartbroken, but there was no time to hesitate, so she and Zhong Lin pushed Han Ruize onto the horse.

Tianyao's defensive formation had been completely destroyed by the poison.

Although Shao Liran and his men were extremely powerful, they were unable to stop all the poisonous people. Many of them had already slipped through the gaps and attacked the weakened people after being poisoned.

Screams were heard everywhere, superimposed with the sound of flesh being gnawing on, the fishy smell was overwhelming, and flesh and blood were splattered everywhere.

The poisonous people rushed into the crowd, and Pei Nai and his men could not even attack anymore. Because the swords were blind, their slashing would also hurt other ordinary people.

"Retreat first!" Pei Nai shouted with gritted teeth.

While killing the enemies, everyone retreated to the southern hillside where Gu Jinheng was.

Pei Nai jumped off the horse and looked at the pale-faced Gu Jinheng, feeling extremely heartbroken.

Gu Jinheng has not yet eliminated the divine energy that suppresses the poison of ten thousand people. Veins are faintly bulging on his neck, and his lips have lost their color.

That was the harm that came to him while supporting the lives of tens of thousands of people.
