Douluo's Gourd

The invisible and insubstantial mental power spread around Wang Xiaofeng.

The whispers of the people around, the fallen leaves blowing away with the wind, seemed to slow down at this moment.

Wang Xiaofeng knew that his brain had already entered an active state at this time.

Full use of mental power will drive the brain to become active. Simply put, it is to give yourself a thinking acceleration buff, which can better control mental power.

However, there are also disadvantages, that is, after stopping, you will be sluggish for a period of time, and you will not be able to do anything, which will affect your life a bit.

"I'm sick again."

Wang Xiaofeng pinched himself hard, using the pain to restrain the overly divergent thinking of the brain, then took out a jade bottle and the crystal with only an empty shell from the gourd, and repeated the action just now.

The empty shell supplemented by the red liquid emitted strange fluctuations again, but before the fluctuations emitted, Wang Xiaofeng had already clamped it out of the jade bottle.

The crystal trembled slightly, and then the liquid inside was once again visibly reduced or even disappeared.

But Wang Xiaofeng was already prepared.

Shun Mou.

The bright colors faded from the eyes, and the darkness took over the vision.

But soon, the mental three-dimensional space with only white and black replaced vision and became Wang Xiaofeng's way of perceiving the outside world.

In the space composed of extremely monotonous colors, a touch of red attracted Wang Xiaofeng's attention.

In the field full of spiritual power, the red fluid that disappeared before turned into a very thin but conspicuous aerosol, flying towards Wang Xiaofeng's right side.

Like being pulled by something.

In just two or three seconds, he flew out of the range covered by the mental power and disappeared without a trace.

Wang Xiaofeng opened his eyes, the black and white faded from his eyes, he withdrew from the inflated state where he felt omnipotent in his heart, and panted slightly with Nidia behind his back.

Same as the results of the underground experiments in the past two days, all point to the northeast direction.

If the map is unfolded with his body as the coordinates, only the castle is in the northeast and related to this incident.

Suddenly an exaggerated laughter woke Wang Xiaofeng from his thoughts.

"Haha, let me tell you why the magpies have been crowing at my door today. It turns out that it's Brother Deyi (pseudonym), you're out of customs."

A ball in the shape of a person quickly approached.

The person who came was Wang Fucheng, the patrol inspector in the town. When mentioning him, he had to talk about the deal he made with Wang Xiaofeng before.

Wang Chengfu took a fancy to Wang Xiaofeng's strength, and hired Wang Xiaofeng to guard the city for three days to complete the mission of the empire and keep his black hat.

And Wang Xiaofeng fell in love with the relationship and energy of Wang Chengfu, a local snake.

The two took what they needed and hit it off.

Wang Xiaofeng borrowed Wang Chengfu's relationship to prostitute a quiet treasure room with a three-day use period and a pile of barely usable raw materials for instruments.

There are also two dried Polygonum multiflorum that are about to reach 300 years old.

And Wang Xiaofeng helped them clean up the crazy soul beasts that they couldn't deal with.

It was the third day at this time.

In the past three days, Wang Chengfu has seen too many soul beasts who are arrogant in front of them, but beat them to the ground in front of Wang Xiaofeng.

And the little girl next to him, ouch, she looks so graceful and charming, she is full of fairy spirit, and she is cruel when she strikes. I have seen the soul beasts she killed, and there are few soul beasts that can leave a whole body, and they are all broken into ice slag. .

So Wang Chengfu rushed over in advance, fearing that the other party would find fault with him.

"Brother, look, this is the reward agreed before, and I brought it here for you." Wang Chengfu took out a wooden box from the soul guide.

Wang Xiaofeng stared at the opponent's face for a long time.

Just when he was at a loss in embarrassment, wondering if he had said something wrong, Wang Xiaofeng suddenly smiled, and patted him hard on the shoulder.

"Yeah, it's just in time."

"Old Fu, I have a big deal here. Let's work together?"

Regarding the cooperation that Wang Xiaofeng said, Wang Chengfu refused in his heart. He was just a second generation with some connections, and he was self-aware of his own abilities.

But looking at Wang Xiaofeng's gloomy eyes, he swallowed his saliva, and said very sincerely: "What business is that?"

...

Forty miles away, Qingshi Town.

In the town center, in the meeting hall.

All the high-level officials in the town are present.

Mayor Li Qingsong sat on the left side of the long table.

Opposite him was a very burly general, Xue Hu.

"Major Li, now that Muye City has fallen, I plan to recruit the people of Qingshi Town to help our Southwest Army fight the beast tide!" Xue Yinhu said.

Li Qingsong, who was already full of silver hair, had a gloomy face: "Lieutenant Xue, half of our town has been transferred to support before, and now we have to recruit soldiers. Isn't it difficult for you to force others? Besides, how can the civilians who are transferred in an emergency know how to fight? You are sending them to die!"

"Li Qingsong, the empire is in trouble now. As citizens of the empire, we should have the money to contribute money and strength. This time I came here on the order of the second prince. If you don't agree, hmph, don't blame me for being rude!" Seeing Xue Hu put his hand on the hilt of the knife, the level 61 Soul Emperor cultivation level was released undisguisedly.

Li Qingsong didn't hesitate, his soul power surged and collided with the aura of the opponent, five soul rings of white, yellow, yellow, purple and black automatically emerged on his body.

Whoa! !

A group of senior executives subconsciously stood up and confronted Xue Hu.

In the room, the atmosphere suddenly became tense!

Li Qingsong's complexion changed, and he finally sighed: "Qingshi Town's registered population is only 4000 people, and I'm willing to contribute 100 people at most!"

"No, I want 300 people! And no less than 200 young and middle-aged people!" Xue Hu said coldly.

"You..." Li Qingsong's wrinkled face turned blue and red from anger.

Not to mention that there are only 4000 people in their entire Qingshi Town, and barely [-] young and middle-aged people, and one-third of the labor force was taken away at once...

Everything in the town will be affected.

Thinking of the rapid decline in the oil and water he can earn in the future, Li Qingsong felt 1 unwilling.

But this Xue Hu in front of him is a master of the soul emperor, they definitely can't beat him, and the opponent still has so many soldiers, if he refuses, he really can't guarantee whether the opponent will attack!

But you can't hand over 300 people so easily. By the way, the town has recently accepted a lot of refugees...

After a while of silence, violent quarrels broke out again in the house.

After half an hour.

Xue Hu left with the adjutant expressionless.

It wasn't until he walked a long distance that Xue Hu's cold and serious expression eased a lot.

"His grandma only gave [-] catties of grain and [-] catties of jerky. These dogs are so fucking stuffed. They are still thinking about those things at any time. I really want to wring their heads off to see if there are all them in there. water."

"My lord, these people have not received any training at all. As Mayor Li said, they can't play much role at all. Why do you have to recruit so many people?" Adjutant Guo Ming asked a little puzzled.

"Stupid, let's come out in a hurry. The rations are almost enough now. Even if we can supply some supplies here, it will definitely not be enough. You haven't seen a beast horde, you don't understand. This is a war of attrition."

Xue Hu rubbed his stiff face, "There is no need for civilians to raise weapons to fight, as long as they help us to collect supplies and cook."

He had just returned to the temporary camp outside the town, and before he had time to take a sip of water, the spies sent earlier brought him bad news.

"General, according to the spies, Xialiang, Fengju, Huangcheng, Ueno and other towns ahead have been destroyed by the beast tide."

"How do these towns defend the city? They clearly ordered death for three days, and the third day has just begun, and they are all gone? They are all corpses and vegetarian food waste!" Xue Hu slapped the table in half angrily. .

The young general in front of him lowered his head and said nothing, letting himself be yelled at.

Xue Hu knew that the main reason why he couldn't defend was because most of the strong men and women in the town went to support Muye City, so the defense force was weak and led to the fall. At this time, it was just to find a reason to vent.

Xue Hu walked to the side and found a map of the surrounding terrain on the bracket, and spread it out. Those towns are all places to go to Muye City.

This means that the difficulty has been raised from Hard Mode to Nightmare Mode.

Without these towns as safe points for supply, rest and defensive advancement, even if the 5000 people they brought now formed an army formation, they would be just meat on the display board in front of the beast tide, ready to be slaughtered by the beasts.

Thinking of the secret mission entrusted to him by the second prince, Xue Hu's head grew big, and he stared at the complicated mountain road terrain and fell into deep thought.

buckle buckle...

The door quietly opened a gap

"grown ups."

"Get out, didn't you say don't bother me!" Li Qingsong wanted to pick up the inkstone on the table and threw it over, hitting the door with a heavy slamming sound.

"There is a letter from Fenghua Town."

Li Qingsong took a deep breath, and regained his sanity, "Come in."

From the corner of his eye, the boy skimmed over the torn garbage on the ground, then walked forward quickly, handed over the envelope in his hand, and left with his head bowed.

Li Qingsong stared at the sender's name for a long time, and then remembered that Wang Chengfu was his distant cousin.

He was a little puzzled, this Wang Chengfu had a mediocre relationship with him, and they only met every year when they returned home during the Chinese New Year. There was no relationship at all, so why did they suddenly write to him.

Wait, I remember that Fenghua Town is not far from Muye City, it could not be that the beast tide has spread there, and then escaped and wanted to join me.

While opening the letter, Li Qingsong was thinking about what reason he would use to refuse Wang Chengfu's defection.

His eyes swept across the letter very casually.

His expression gradually changed from casual to serious, and he had to read the 300-word letter for more than half an hour.

'If what is said above is true, then this is a great credit. '

Maybe the mayor will become the city lord.

Li Qingsong's expression kept changing as he tapped his fingers on the table.

No, even uniting all the clans in Qingshi Town would not be able to take credit for this.

It seems that it will not work without some blood.A trace of cruelty flashed in Li Qingsong's eyes.

As night fell, the bonfires lit in the camp dispelled the darkness.

The food on the table had long run out of heat, and Xue Hu was still staring at the map, as if he had kept this position for a long time.

"General, general!" There was a shout from outside the tent.

Xue Hu twisted his neck and made a loud noise: "How many times have I said, be calm."

"General! Mayor Li came here with five hundred strong men and a lot of food."

"Oh?"

Xue Hu opened the curtain and went out, and soon saw a large group of people crowded in the open space. After a cursory look, there were no women, children or old people inside.

Standing in front of them was a white-haired old man. It was Li Qingsong, the mayor of the town who had just had an unpleasant quarrel in the afternoon.

"Mayor Li, what is this?"

"Oh, Captain Xue, I finally found you."

Li Qingsong said awe-inspiringly: "After you left, I reflected on my actions, and I think you are right. I should not be so fussy about the empire's kindness to me. Therefore, I immediately took the young people in the clan People come to support you, and I hope you don't hold back."

Xue Hu shook his head with a smile, and calmly swept across dozens of youths in the crowd exuding faint fluctuations in spirit power.

Although it is difficult for these people to become soul masters, at least they can use their soul power, which is better than ordinary people.

Although I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the other party's gourd, but if you put the gift in front of you, if you don't accept it, you will lose face.

"Come here, take these grains to the logistics, and, by the way, arrange accommodation for these brothers tonight."

Xue Hu took Li Qingsong's arm: "Mayor Li, you are really solving my urgent needs. If you don't mind, come to my tent and let's have a drink, and we won't go home until we're drunk."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

On this day, the fire in the largest tent in the camp was lit until dawn, and no one knew what they were talking about.

In the early morning of the next day, Xue Hu led the troops, changed the route set by the previous plan, and walked through the forest trail mentioned by Li Qingsong until Fenghua Town.
