Chapter 48 Supporting Ruins
When Su Huaide and others settled in the ruins of the city and began to look for Fengshenzhu, Zu Kou also returned to Su Jiaji under the leadership of Kong Xiaoyin. Here, Zu Kou's army met Tian Zheng, who stayed in the town. Although Zu Kou's army suffered heavy casualties in the misty forest, there are still more than 1,000 soldiers who have survived.
"Lord Tian, I'm really ashamed. The old man was unfavorable this time and was ambushed on the road. Half of the troops were lost in vain. Zu Kou and Tian Zheng sat down in the council hall of Su Jiaji, and he said with guilt on his face.
"Ha ha, General Zu, don't be sad." Tian Zheng listened to Zu Kou's words and comforted him, "It is common for soldiers to win or lose, and who would have expected that someone would go deep into our country to design a general. Moreover, you don't have an illusionist in your army, so you can't crack the illusion array, and this loss is inevitable.
"Alas! Having said that, I'm still angry when I think about it!" After listening to Tian Zheng's words, Zu Kou did not feel any relief and still sighed.
"General, don't worry! Chief Su and I will definitely find out the truth of the matter. Tian Zheng looked at Zu Kou's appearance and knew that there was no benefit in persuading him, so he simply changed the topic, "General, your army needs to have a good rest before it can start?"
"Hmm!" Zu Kou nodded, "The soldiers consumed a lot of physical strength in the fog forest. Naturally, they need to rest! Let's go to the ruins and meet the chief Su in three days!" Naturally, he already knew the news that Swide had set out with people.
"It's okay!" Tian Zheng nodded and agreed. After all, Zu Kou's official rank is above him, and it is Zu Kou's decision when to go to the ruins.
"All right! In recent days, Lord Tian, please help me find a few illusionists or local hunters!" Seeing that Tian Zheng agreed to his request, Zu Kou continued, "I don't want the last time to happen again."
"Please relax this general, I will definitely do it!" Tian Zheng listened to Zu Kou's words and quickly agreed. After all, Zu Kou's army was attacked in his jurisdiction and spread out, and he could not get rid of it.
"That's good! Then I'll go to rest first." After saying that, Zu Kou stood up and said goodbye to Tian Zheng, and then the two arranged separately.
Kong Xiaoyin returned to his room, and now, the five-turn spirit cat has been turned into a newborn kitten. Usually, the spirit cat finds a place to hide and not be disturbed by others to complete such things. However, the five-turn spirit cat was worried that there would be an accident if Kong Xiaoyin was left in the fog forest for seven days, so it chose to go back to Kong Xiaoyin's home in Su Jiaji to complete this matter.
"Sylph, will it take a long time for the cat to wake up?" Kong Xiaoyin stroked the kitten beside him and asked Sylph.
"It will take about two or three days!" Sylph replied, "I've heard it say before that it can't move every three days before reincarnating. Within seven days, it's the weakest."
"Well! All right." Kong Xiaoyin looked at the kitten beside him very lovingly, "Then let's take good care of it these days. It's very tiring to take care of us at ordinary times."
"Hmm! That's it. I know how to eat and sleep. Sylph muttered with dissatisfaction, "I'm lazy to be a stinky cat." When she said this, the kitten beside Kong Xiaoyin turned over and then curled up into a bow. I don't know if it did it because it was dissatisfied with what Sylph said, or whether it really had to sleep comfortably.
Kong Xiaoyin listened to Sylph's words, but she didn't say anything. When she saw the kitten turn over, she still touched its fur with pity. All right, shall we sleep?" Then, she turned around and looked at Sylve, "I feel very tired of wandering in the foggy forest these days."
"Oh, okay, okay!" Sylph listened to Kong Xiaoyin's words, and she flew back to the ring in Kong Xiaoyin's hand, "Then I will also go back to my place to rest."
In the next few days, Su Huaide and Ou Yeji repeatedly searched the area instructed by Zhao Zhengfang several times, but nothing was found. However, they did not give up their search. After all, since Fengshenzhu is an artifact, it will not be easily obtained. Xue Yang and Li Tong quietly followed the original search team these days. They did not disturb the original man's plan to act. After all, they came a little earlier than Su Huade. Although they don't have as many people as the original, they have also thoroughly searched the whole area nearby with the help of Tan Le's style spell. Therefore, the two of them are not in a hurry to find out the whereabouts of Fengshenzhu now. After all, the incident of Fengshenzhu is also a little in their minds, and its disappearance is likely to be related to the sudden appearance of mosquito spirits. Therefore, it's better to wait for Tan Le's news than to search randomly now.
Three days passed quickly. Now in Sujiaji, Zu Kou gathered his army. This time, he did not take away all the troops. He selected 800 strong soldiers from Su Jiaji's existing army to accompany him to the ruins of the city to support Su Huaide, while the remaining soldiers followed Tian Zheng to stay in Sujiaji. After Zu Kou was attacked, Zu Kou and Tian Zheng had to consider the safety of the base camp. If something goes wrong with Su Jiaji, it will also be very detrimental to the search work ahead.
For this expedition, Tian Zheng specially selected eight experienced hunters to accompany Zu Kou in Sujiaji. In this way, although Zu Kou's army still has no illusionist, he is not afraid of falling into the illusion and falling into the illusion array again. After all, the local hunters are familiar with the local terrain and the distribution of spirit beasts, and they will help Zu Kou plan a safe road.
And the five-turned spirit cat, to be precise, is now a six-turned spirit cat. It also opened its eyes tightly from the initial state of reincarion. Although its body still looks very weak, it can move freely, and its mind has completely recovered to the level before reincarnating.
"Cat, are you feeling better?" Kong Xiaoyin bought a big fish from the market and cooked it for the kitten and put it in front of it. "Do you like it?"
"Meow!" The kitten's beard was upturned forward and replied happily, "I like it! Yinyin, you can call me Bi Shen in the future! This is my own name. After my six turns, I can transform into a human form without attachment.
"Okay! Bi Shen." Kong Xiao recited the kitten's name, and she remembered it in her heart. It turns out that today's cats can transform into people without attachment, so that she will have another human-shaped friend in the future, which is indeed great good news for Kong Xiaoyin.
"Bad cat, do you have a name? I thought you were a wild cat!" Sylph interrupted at this time, "I knew how to eat your fish and ate my sister's food for a week."
"Meow! Meow! Don't bully the cat!" The cat shouted unhappily and replied, "My body will recover soon. I'll go out to help you catch a lot of fish and return them to Yinyin."
"Who wants your broken fish?" Sylph made a face in the air as she spoke. Suddenly, she stared out of the window, and then turned her head and said, "Sister, cat, it seems that the original army is going to go on an expedition."
"Oh! They went to the ruins of the city to find something. Kong Xiaoyin stroked the cat and replied with a smile, "Wanyue and the patriarch's wife will also accompany this time."
"Is it?" When the cat heard what she said, it raised its head alertly. It seemed to be calculating something, "Then let's go with him!"
"Let's go together?" Kong Xiaoyin looked at the cat in surprise, "Why should we go with them? Cat." Although she already knows the name of the cat, she still likes to call it that.
"This search will definitely encounter danger." The cat replied, "And I'm afraid they can't overcome the danger with their strength."
"Isn't it so scary?" Kong Xiaoyin listened to the cat's words and said in surprise, "I heard that the new Ou Yeji is a very powerful figure."
"Meow!" After listening to Kong Xiaoyin's words, the cat laughed, "No matter how powerful it is, it's not as powerful as my Yinyin!" After saying that, there was a happy cry in his stomach.
"Sister, it seems that the cat is right." Sylph also said, "I once heard the original soldiers in the town whisper what they were looking for. That's the bead you mentioned to Su Huaide!"
"Oh?" Kong Xiaoyin felt a little moved when she heard Sylph's words. After all, Sylph is a wind elf. Although she talked about the beads easily, this bead is still very useful for Sylve. Thinking of this, Kong Xiaoyin looked at the cat and said, "Cat, can your body withstand the long journey?"
"Meow!" The cat looked up at Kong Xiaoyin, "Isn't there you holding it!" Kong Xiaoyin and Sylph both giggled after listening to the cat's words. It seems that no matter how the spiritual level of this cat changes, it can't change its nature as a lazy cat.
Kong Xiaoyin and the three of them negotiated properly, and she took the initiative to go to Sun Mingxuan's room to apply for an expedition with the army. Although Sun Mingxuan was a little hesitant about Kong Xiaoyin's request, she finally agreed. After all, go to war; there may be casualties, and doctors will be needed. Although Kong Xiaoyin is not a qualified doctor now, it is still important to have her help at the critical moment. Now, Kong Xiaoyin took the initiative to go out with the army. Sun Mingxuan naturally felt that it was difficult to refuse, but at the same time, she told Kong Xiaoyin about the danger of this expedition. Kong Xiaoyin has already been clear about these. Therefore, the two of them agreed on this matter easily.
And Su Wanyue knew that Kong Xiaoyin was going to go on an expedition with her and her mother, so she was naturally very happy. After all, she gets along well with Kong Xiaoyin. There was Kong Xiaoyin as a companion on the road, and she also had an additional chat partner. Girls are always like this. What they are most worried about and afraid of is loneliness. As for life and death, there is no loneliness that is more frightening until the critical moment.
At noon, Zu Kou gathered all the soldiers on this expedition, as well as all kinds of personnel, a total of more than 900 people. Then, they went to the vast ruins of the city. Along the way, they were not attacked by any spirit beasts, but they didn't know whether they were lucky or not...
