Cold Priest VS Ancient Ferocious Beast

Mo Zhu dodged the attacks and squeezed forward in the chaos.

The wolves were armored and invulnerable to swords and knives, appearing extremely ferocious.

Many horses were injured, and the soldiers were exhausted from dealing with the simultaneous attacks of multiple wolves.

"Swish..." A flare flew into the sky.

"Retreat! Retreat!" General Qin gave the order.

Then the soldiers retreated and the wolves advanced, and no matter what, the two sides were entangled.

"Retreat! Retreat!" General Qin shouted again.

But the wolves kept chasing him.

General Qin was furious: "Release!"

A huge fireball was thrown into the wolf pack, emitting more sparks the moment it landed.

In the face of the powerful fire, few soldiers of Ningsi City were accidentally injured because they were prepared.

Because the wolves were not deployed in time, many of them were burned.

"Awoo... Awoo..." There was a chorus of wailing.

While everyone was retreating, Mo Zhu finally squeezed to the front row.

"General! Although we have a greater chance of winning by attacking us head-on, the New Year is coming soon and the soldiers are looking forward to going home. Let me go and talk to him!" Mo Zhu said anxiously to General Qin.

"The clothes are quite exquisite." General Qin saw Mo Zhu's nightgown in the light of the fire in front of him.

"I heard that you all left and thought you were going to abandon me." Mo Zhu said seriously.

"You go and talk to him, surrender immediately, and hand over Black Sand City. Nothing else will be discussed." General Qin felt extremely oppressed at this moment.

"can!"

"Huh?" General Qin couldn't believe what he heard.

"I go."

"Boom!" Another huge fireball fell down.

"Whether you go or not has no effect on the outcome."

The fire on the wolf pack's side was getting bigger and bigger.

The sound of the flute rang out, but the person playing the flute was not Yelingqi on horseback.

The wolves gradually retreated.

"If you want Black Sand City, come and get it yourself." Ye Ling turned his horse around and galloped towards Black Sand City.

General Qin did not send anyone to pursue immediately, but instead ordered: "Set fire to Black Sand City!"

"General! If this fire is set, the entire Black Sand City will be burned to ashes."

"Just to my liking."

"General, can you give me a horse?"

"You're going into town?"

"General, I admire your talent and courage. As a Ningsi City native, I will never delay military orders, but personally, I have to go and get Jiang Liu'er out."

"You can have the horse. I won't stop you."

"Thank you, General!"

Amidst the attacks of fireballs, Mo Zhu rode his horse into the Black Sand City.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves behind him, Su Qingchen looked back.

"Why are you here?"

"No need to delay. I said I'd come to pick up Jiang Liu'er."

"Who would believe that? What will happen to the Luo family if you do this?"

"Nothing can be done without confirmation. They've dug a containment zone, and the fire will only spread to Black Sand City. Their plan is to attack with fire, regardless of the cost. I've been wanting to report this, but I've never had the chance."

"Come here." Su Qingchen didn't look very anxious. "We know their plan. They're not the only ones who will dig a barrier. Our barrier still has water."

Mo Zhu rode on horseback and followed Su Qingchen to a small ditch.

"It's safe if you come over here." Su Qingchen's horse crossed the ditch.

"How come it's so fast?"

"We have spies, and besides, they don't have many options anyway."

"What about the rest?"

"We're all in the quarantine zone. We've moved all our food and fodder here for the winter. We also know that if a real war breaks out, we won't be able to fight. We'll just have to wait it out."

"Where do you get your manpower from?"

"Brother Yue was transferred here. Many of them came down the mountain as soon as you left. Some are still on the mountain."

"Who?" Mo Zhu didn't like being classified as being with General Qin.

"Ning Sicheng, is that okay?"

"Ah."

Su Qingchen dismounted and found a piece of dry grass to sit down.

The scarlet flames were burning more and more fiercely not far away, but Su Qingchen's expression was calm.

"After the fire is out, what should we do if they attack?"

"Of course we can't handle it, so we can't let the fire go out. We have to keep burning until they can't wait any longer."

“How do you keep the fire burning?”

"Just wait. They only dug halfway through the pit and then retreated. We'll just go and reconnect the fire later."

"Even if half of it is on fire, it won't affect the attack on Black Sand City..."

"Guess why they didn't capture me alive and let me enter the city, and chose to attack with fire first."

"Those random arrows?"

"Smart." Su Qingchen patted Mo Zhu's head.

"They wanted to catch us off guard, but we responded so promptly. Do you think General Qin didn't have other plans? They'll wait for the fire to die down, hoping to consume as many of us as possible before planning an attack."

"So, you just came out alone, without any other security, just to verify this?"

"What other guarantees do you think we can have?" Su Qingchen spread his hands.

We have to fight to the end, and it is true that our abilities are limited.

"What if he catches you without any scruples?"

"That's not the case, is it? People can't predict every step, so if you win that one bet, you win."

Mo Zhu frowned.

"Okay, you just come over here like that, and I haven't said anything to you yet."

"Then I'm worried about you..."

"Okay, I get it."

"As long as we wait until the snow blocks the mountain, can we return to the fairyland?"

"Do you think I know? In this situation, can't you think of something useful?"

"Not really." Mo Zhu shook his head tremblingly.

"What's wrong?" Su Qingchen turned sideways to check, "You're wearing too little, let's go."

Su Qingchen pulled Mo Zhu back to their residence in the underground village.

"You still have this place?" Mo Zhu was a little curious.

"Of course, it was built a long time ago as a precaution. Only we know about it. You're the first person to come in from outside... ahem, outside Black Sand City."

Mo Zhu smiled lightly.

"Put it on." Su Qingchen picked up the mink cloak on the bedside.

"Yeah." After putting it on, Mo Zhu felt much warmer.

"You're in now, what's the fight?"

"do not know."

"Don't say you don't know. It's really hard for you to deal with it now. Otherwise, why don't you take Jiang Liu'er out later?"

“…Isn’t this just a joke?”

"Why don't you just not come in? We can talk about it after it's over."

"If you were me, would you wait?"

“…” Su Qingchen turned his head to the side.

"Take Jiang Liu'er out and wait for him at their camp or in Ningsi City. Luo Qin's identity cannot be lost."

Mo Zhu turned sideways and lay on Su Qingchen's legs: "I have a headache."

Su Qingchen reached out and pressed Mo Zhu's temples for a while, then said softly, "Don't make trouble, hold on a little longer."

Mo Zhu sighed silently.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"nothing."

Mo Zhu sat up.

"Starting to have your own secrets?"

"No... let me take Jiang Liuer out." Mo Zhu compromised.

"You wait here, I'll pick him up."

"Ah."

After Su Qingchen left, Mo Zhu threw himself deeply onto Su Qingchen's bed several times, and then lay there in a daze.

"Master Luo!" It was Jiang Liu'er who pushed the door open and came in. "Let's go!"

"Oh, you're quite willing."

"It's not like we're really going to Ningsi City, why would I be unwilling?"

"Okay, let's go. It's quite hot outside, are you scared?"

"I'm not afraid."

"Good boy."

Without even drinking a sip of water or saying hello to anyone else, Mo Zhu took Jiang Liuer out of the city.

"Sit down, there's a big fire outside and the smoke is choking." Jiang Liu'er was wrapped tightly from head to toe in a mink cloak by Mo Zhu.

"Let's go." Mo Zhu's face showed some displeasure and reluctance.

"Okay, stop being grumpy and let's go."

"Ah? I'm not angry." Jiang Liuer tried hard to get his head out from under the cloak.

"I understand." Su Qingchen smiled.
