Chapter 657 Someone is coming
The pitch-black sky is dotted with countless blood-red stars.
Xu Yuan discovered that these insect beasts had been staring at him since just now, their red compound eyes filled with crazy greed.
Even though his Qiji was covered by the black mist of soul and soul-avoiding clothes, the eyes of these insects were still following him like a shadow.
This is unreasonable.
Apart from the city defense formation operating at full strength, not even the saints could detect him, let alone these low-level bugs.
But now that all the city defense authority has been taken back by Li Junwu, and the city defense formation can be eliminated, there seems to be only one reason why the other party can discover his whereabouts.
Stopping in a quiet narrow alley, Xu Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the swarm of insects in the sky.
It seems that the kid who swallowed the Thousand Thorns Ghost Willow can also sense his position in reverse, and it is clearer than his side.
Thoughts flashed across his mind, Xu Yuan tugged on his soul-avoiding clothes and let out a light tut:
"Tsk, if I had known this, it would be better to leave this soul-escaping clothing to Li Junwu."
"If you want, I can help you send it back now."
The voice of ridicule that he didn't know he heard from all over the night rang deep in his heart. After hearing it, Xu Yuan took off the soul-escaping clothes without thinking and handed it to the open space aside:
"That's troublesome."
"."
Tianye appeared, his golden eyes shining with a strange light in the dark narrow alley:
"Are you serious? The saint on the opposite side will break the city at any time, and once the sky breaks, with the speed of the saint, he can reach you in an instant."
Xu Yuan smiled nonchalantly and said:
"For now, I'm still using the person you were 20,000 years ago who was in trouble."
Tianye seemed to see something in his smile, and the corners of his bright red lips curled up slightly:
"You don't trust me?"
Xu Yuan shrugged and said noncommittally:
"How could I treat you as my last life-saving trump card and turn it into distrust in your mouth? And if I really don't trust you, how could I still keep you with me at this time?"
Tian Ye seemed to be convinced of his guess, but no anger surfaced. Instead, he circled around Xu Yuan with great interest, took the Soul Escape Clothes from his hand, and said with a chuckle:
"Is it because Master Jiantian Pavilion didn't do anything to me? But if you want to, then I will do this for you."
The words fell,
She glanced meaningfully at Xu Yuan, then glanced at the insect-filled sky, and her figure gradually disappeared into the shadow of the narrow alley.
Watching Tianye's figure disappear into the shadows, Xu Yuan turned around calmly, jumped into a black flame and flew towards the west city wall.
The ignited streets were running backwards, and countless crazy figures were swaying in the flames and shadows, releasing evil desires.
However, what is surprising is that during the march, Xu Yuan actually saw some volunteers who suppressed the riots, and they became large-scale and organized volunteers.
Even without organization, the aristocratic chamber of commerce in the city has spontaneously begun to suppress the thugs who caused chaos in the city.
They originally thought of surrendering and running away because the saint's attack on the city did not mean that they would massacre the city. The intrigues among the top officials of the Zhenxi Mansion had nothing to do with them, and their status would not be shaken if they changed their masters. However, the situation was different at this moment. The insect swarm outside the sky curtain took a look. Just a creature that won't accept surrender.
Therefore, now they need order, and they need to unite with the Zhenxi Army to fight against the strange insects outside in order to survive.
Under the leadership of several aristocratic families and knights, the riots in the city have begun to be suppressed at a speed visible to the naked eye. And as more blocks passed by, the surprise in Xu Yuan's eyes became more intense.
The actions of these aristocratic knights in the city did not seem to be just to suppress the mobs. They also blocked many traffic arteries and entered the empty Zhenxi military camp. They built a military camp centered on it and with various aristocratic family mansions as strongholds. Large and small defensive circles, everything looks in order.
Obviously, these aristocratic families are already preparing for the arrival of the insect tide.
Xu Yuan was a little surprised at the ability of the leader to be able to integrate these aristocratic families to such an extent in such a short period of time.
What surprised him the most was that the members of these family knights not only took care of themselves, but also evacuated the civilians in the city and moved them into the defense circles they had built.
This move made Xu Yuan a little confused.
Now that the Zhenxi Army has gathered its forces and entered the government offices, these aristocratic families actually care about the common people?
At this time of life and death, how could the leader convince those wealthy families to pay attention to the lives of common people?
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan's thoughts suddenly stopped and he sighed and shook his head.
He found that today, he seems to have become more and more cold-blooded, but fortunately there are others in the world who stick to these bottom lines.
His eyes flickered twice, suppressing the strange emotions rising in his heart, and a complicated smile appeared on his lips.
If he could remain undefeated in this war, he would have to pay a proper visit to the leader.
Thinking in his mind, Xu Yuan's escaping light suddenly stopped at low altitude and glanced towards the ground.
His destination has arrived.
Below is a grand market like a square. Its location close to the west city wall makes it prosperous. Caravans entering the city from the west will basically stop here and sell the goods they grabbed or bought in the desert with merchants. with slaves.
However, at this time when the city was in ruins, the large market here was quiet, and the ground was in a mess. Various goods that were not taken away in time and utensils that fell to the ground told of the panic of their owners before leaving.
Falling to the ground, walking alone in the streets that look like a ghost market, the sound of footsteps echoes, and the west city wall not far away stands like a mountain in the darkness.
Arriving at the center of the market, Xu Yuan stopped and scanned the mess.
The market here is far away from the residential areas in the city, so a fight should not cause too many unnecessary casualties.
Thinking in his mind, Xu Yuan walked to a fruit vendor as if walking, picked out a good-looking fruit and took a bite.
"Kacha.tui."
After chewing the fruit pulp twice, Xu Yuan spat it out in disgust.
It's a hit, it's durian flavored.
Curling his lips, Xu Yuangang was about to reach out for another fruit next to him when he saw a palm as pale as snow stretched out from the unoccupied stall and grabbed the fruit one step ahead of him.
Looking with raised eyebrows, the corners of Xu Yuan's eyes twitched unconsciously.
He met a pair of human eyes,
But in those eyes, there were densely packed pupils, like the compound eyes of an insect.
The visitor looked pale, smiled at Xu Yuan outside the stall, threw the fruit to Xu Yuan, and asked softly:
"Brother Zhou, or Brother Xu, I'm very curious. You left the government office and came to Huanglongji alone, not just to eat the Huangxiang fruit, right?"
