Douluo's Gourd

The moonlight is hazy, like a layer of mist, scattered all over the place, and the pale moonlight makes people feel cool.

The night silently enveloped the mountains, and everything was silent.

The forest at night should be the time when animals are active, but at this moment, the forest devours everything like the mouth of a giant beast, and the sound of all life is silent, leaving only the gloomy darkness.

Suddenly, a burst of heavy footsteps broke the silence.

...slap...slap.

A flash of fire pierced the darkness of the deep forest, and then one, two... sparks connected into a fiery snake with an invisible tail.

It was a team that couldn't see the end at a glance, the heads were surging, and everyone rushed forward quietly.

Everyone was more or less injured, and the blood-stained armor silently stated that the journey was not peaceful.

"Hurry up, go faster, after passing this mountain, you can see Fenghua Town." Xue Hu's voice full of soul power rang clearly in everyone's ears.

After a long journey and a day of bloody fighting, the physical and mental exhaustion left everyone in a trance. Hearing Xue Hu's words, the front troops subconsciously accelerated their pace.

The civilians who temporarily joined the team gritted their teeth and tried to speed up their pace while dragging carts full of supplies.

But inadvertently, the team pushing and pulling materials behind was still disconnected from the team in front for a moment.

Even if well-trained soldiers were wearing heavy armor, their speed was not comparable to that of untrained civilians. What's more, they had been walking for almost a day, and everyone was very tired and their speed was much slower.

And the crisis will come at this moment.

hiss!

The foul wind overwhelmed the bushes, and a huge black figure suddenly sprang out from the deep forest, aiming at the tired-looking civilians at the end of the line.

The black shadow was extremely fast, and within a breath, it had already arrived in front of everyone. With the faint light of the torch, everyone could clearly see what kind of monster it was.

It was a giant python several meters long. Its mouth opened to a very exaggerated arc. Its sharp fangs reflected red light. Its red snake pupils were staring at the humans who were stuck in place. Their eyes revealed a desire for flesh and blood. eager.

It's too late to say.

The man closest to Shekou even smelled the stench of flesh and blood, and his frightened pupils reflected the ferocious blood mouth.

Only one centimeter away from death, at the moment when the scythe of the god of death was about to fall, a huge force suddenly came from the tail of the snake.

The body of the giant python ejected into the air suddenly straightened, and then like a spring, the body and head suddenly retracted.

Then what greeted it was a huge iron fist oncoming.

With an unstoppable momentum, the iron fist entwined with golden soul power hit the snake's head heavily.

Pfft, the snake's head exploded like a watermelon, thick fragments splashed more than ten meters in all directions, the rest of the body writhed unconsciously, and the yellow soul power dissipated like smoke.

The second soul ring on Xue Hu's body turned from shining to dim, his huge body shrunk slowly, and the veins disappeared between the muscles. He waved his hands casually, and then threw the snake body by the side of the road.

The terrified civilian was covered in snake blood and remained motionless. After being thrown hard by his trembling companion for a few times, he managed to regain his senses. He plopped down on his knees and gave Xue Tiger knocked his head heavily.

"Thank you for your help, sir."

"Well, it's okay to follow quickly." Xue Hu responded coldly, urging the other party to quickly follow the team with his cold eyes.

"Okay, okay." The two hurriedly pushed the heavy cart.

Suddenly, there was a sudden sound of fighting ahead, but it soon calmed down again.

The erratic flame moved forward again.

This kind of attack would happen from time to time, and everyone was used to it, as long as they didn't encounter large-scale animal hordes.

Although the mountain road that Li Qingsong was referring to went straight to Fenghua Town, the road was rugged and difficult to walk, and the weeds were lush. Usually, no one would take this trail.

But even on this kind of mountain path where no one walks, they encountered small beast swarms formed by frightened wild beasts and crazy soul beasts several times.

According to the estimated plan, they should have arrived at Fenghua Town at [-]:[-] p.m., but they were delayed for a long time by the beast tide.

Fortunately, the hordes of beasts encountered on the road were not large, and their strength was good, so there were no casualties in the team.

However, Xue Hu was not optimistic about this matter. Instead, he felt a lot of pressure. Even small animal hordes could be encountered in the mountains. The situation ahead can be imagined, and they may not be able to solve this animal horde.

After half an hour.

The team twisting forward like a long snake finally crossed the hillside and saw the town surrounded by darkness and standing among the mountains.

The weak but strong flame, like the fleet in the storm seeing the lighthouse, undoubtedly gave everyone a boost.

"We're here, we've seen Fenghua Town."

Hearing the commotion coming from ahead, Xue Hu was refreshed, and even he was relieved.

The army formation could not be deployed in the mountains, and their strongest means could not be used. Several times, they were almost scattered by small beast hordes and caused casualties, but they persisted. In the end, everyone was only slightly injured and did not reduce their number.

It's really a blessing from the Tiger God.

Seeing Fenghua Town, the team's speed inevitably increased a bit.

In just ten minutes, the soldiers at the front of the line could vaguely see the reassuring seven-meter-high city wall.

Passing through the lush woods, everyone's vision suddenly became clear.

Then, the scene in front of them made them stop slowly.

Everywhere he looked, there were corpses, big or small, piled up on top of each other, forming a blanket of corpses at least half a meter high, which stretched all the way to the far city wall.

The stench from the corpse made the faces of trained people twitch, it was too stinky, and it was definitely not a smell that could be formed in a day or two.

In other words, Fenghua Town not only stopped the beast tide once, but many times.

This made these soldiers who are usually a little proud, while admiring the defenders of the city, they couldn't help but feel a little curiosity in their hearts.

"What's the matter, why don't you leave!"

The way forward was blocked just like that, and everyone stagnated, attracting Xue Hu who had been protecting civilians at the end.

Seeing the corpse wall blocking the way, Xue Hu immediately understood.

These corpses that have been dead for an unknown period of time are natural city walls, and the germs and stench carried on them can dissuade most of the rational soul beasts.

Xue Hu casually pulled out an arrow stuck in the animal carcass, and a green liquid gushed out from the wound.

There is still so much blood in the body.

The green liquid made him feel a little dangerous.

It seems that these corpses have undergone inexplicable changes, which must not be touched by soldiers.

Xue Hu casually discarded the arrow.

At some point, the black clouds overhead dispersed, and the bright moonlight began to disperse the darkness on the ground.

The soldiers who were standing still and repairing their eyes widened.

"General, general, look at that, the sky! There are two moons in the sky!"

The clouds cleared and the fog cleared, and the two moons were in the sky.
