Chapter 719: Picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons... Stupid

Gu Yu was worried.

"I'll go down and take a look."

As he spoke, he jumped into the poisonous miasma canyon with a whoosh.

No one else dared to jump, as they would surely die if they did.

Although they had taken the antidote beforehand, they did not dare to jump down, because even if they stayed there for a long time, they would have difficulty breathing and were relying entirely on their internal strength to support themselves. If Gu Yu did not come up in a while, they really could not hold on any longer and they would leave first.

Saving your life is important.

After a while, Gu Yu came up in a disheveled state.

There were scratches from branches all over his body, and his face was blue and purple. It looked like he had encountered some bad luck.

"Master? Has the body been found?"

Although Gu Yu was in a mess, he felt relieved.

"The body hasn't been found, but it's very likely he's dead. The poison gas is too thick and too deep down there. He's probably been smashed into a meat patty!"

Because Gu Yu did not explore the bottom, he climbed down from the cliff.

The branches on the cliff were covered with thorns. The deeper you went, the thicker the poisonous gas became. There were also many poisonous snakes on the cliff. Gu Yu was almost bitten by one.

He also found a lot of bloodstains on the cliff wall, which should have been left by Liao Jiu and his wife.

As a strong man in the eighth realm, he felt that if he went down any further, he might not be able to come up after he was halfway down the cliff.

Because I felt a strange sense of danger.

I can’t say.

Anyway, the intuition of an eighth-level strong man made him retreat back to the cliff.

When he was climbing up the cliff, he clearly felt that it was easy to go down but difficult to come up. It was not because he was exhausted, but because he felt an indescribable natural force, like a barrier that prevented things from coming up from below.

Once you go down, it’s hard to get back up.

So, he turned back.

Even if Liao Jiu and his wife didn't die from the fall, they would not have been able to get out alive.

Upon hearing this, several of his men were delighted. "Great, Commander! We've finally dealt with the culprit who caused the deaths of 50,000 of our troops. What should we do now?"

"Send someone to chase Gu Qie and inform him of the situation here, so that he can proceed according to the plan. Then, the rest of you should stay here and take the antidote continuously. Divide into several teams and closely monitor the situation here. In case someone comes to rescue them, report back immediately!"

"yes!"

Gu Yu took another deep look at the cliff behind him, then waved his sleeves and walked away quickly.

He walked faster than others could run, and his figure disappeared in a few moves.

He went in the direction where the golden eagle escaped.

The golden eagles were so useful. Now that their master was dead, perhaps he could tame them.

If you can't subdue them, just kill them.

So as to avoid giving the people of Da'an any more benefits.

Such a good thing is only worthy of being owned by those who are strong in the eighth realm.

***

Two days later.

Suncity.

Fifty thousand enemy troops suddenly arrived at the city gates. There was no one to rescue it, and the city defense was weak, so it was captured directly.

Richeng suffered heavy losses, and the last surviving soldiers strategically abandoned the city and retreated towards Yuncheng.

***

Moon City.

General Jiang was extremely anxious when he received the news of defeat.

The two regents are missing and Sun City has fallen. Sun City was not as prepared as Moon City, and some people have not retreated. I don’t know what the situation is.

The two regents told him that they went to Richeng for support, but Richeng said they had not seen them. The two regents were missing, which made General Jiang feel very disappointed.

Because the two adults are people who keep their promises, they will never escape halfway, or have some sudden new ideas and watch Richeng die.

After the recent contact, he is the one who feels most deeply the two adults' love for the people like their own children.

Unless there is some force majeure.

The biggest possibility is that you will encounter danger and trouble, or even suffer an unexpected accident.

General Jiang wrote an urgent report to the court and sent people to look for Liao Jiu and his wife.

They also had to defend Yuecheng and be wary of the coalition forces of the five nations suddenly turning around and attacking their Yuecheng.

Extremely anxious.

Because Zhou Yuan was Liao Jiu's cousin, General Jiang did not hide the disappearance of Liao Jiu and his wife from Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan was also anxious.

After thinking about it, he felt uneasy.

He personally led a team to search, and the first route was the direction of Yuecheng to the Sun City.

He had a good friend, Che Ren, who knew the terrain here very well. Instead of following the normal official road route to look for people, he drew a straight line directly on the map of Yuecheng and Richeng.

Liao Jiu and his wife flew on a golden eagle. Their way of traveling was definitely different from walking. They must have gone straight.

After Che Ren drew the straight route, he suggested that Zhou Yuan take this route to search.

Zhou Yuan agreed.

This straight route is very difficult, as most of it is undeveloped wilderness and forest. One has to cross mountains and ridges, and sometimes encounter ravines and canyons. Zhou Yuan, a scholar who had won the imperial examination, also persevered all the way. With the belief in his heart, he was not much behind the soldiers of Yuecheng in terms of distance.

Che Ren has the skills to survive in the wild, and he can quickly tell if there is anything unusual along the way.

It saves a lot of trouble.

***

Cloud City.

The Blood Battle Army garrisoned Yuncheng for a few days, and everything was peaceful here.

The coalition forces outside the city also retreated quietly.

The city guard of Yuncheng came to report several times about the fall of Richeng.

"Erlang Jun, what should we do now? The Regent is missing, and Sun City has fallen. Next, the Five Nations coalition may sweep through the surrounding cities. Should you, the Blood Battle Army, rush to support us?"

Erlangjun coughed twice. "No rush. Their next move might be Yuncheng. We can just wait here! The most urgent thing is to find my adopted sister, Princess Fu'an. I will leave the Blood Battle Army in Yuncheng first, and I will take a small team to look for my adopted sister."

The Yuncheng City Guardian didn't say much.

But I always feel something is wrong.

The Richeng City has been lost, but the Blood Battle Army doesn't go to recapture the lost territory?

As a small city guard in Yuncheng, he could not understand the actions of the Blood Battle Army.

However, Erlangjun said that it would make sense to go and look for the two regents in person.

After all, Erlangjun is the sworn brother of the Right Regent, so it makes sense both morally and logically.

Also, if they were stationed in Yuncheng, it would also be beneficial to them. At least, they wouldn't have to worry about enemy attacks.

After Yuncheng City was defended, Erlangjun smiled.

An owl fluttered to his window.

Erlangjun took the letter out of its mouth and fed it some cakes, which the owl ate with a chirping sound.

He read the letter from beginning to end, and the paper gradually turned transparent until it turned into ashes.

"Someone fell into the canyon on the cliff slope? Don't dare to go down? Just let it go? It's obvious that the couple has a lot of secrets. Especially my good sister Xuanlianzhu, haha, she's dead. Where did she get all those good things and sophisticated gunpowder weapons out of thin air? How could we not search for them? And chase the golden eagle? Compared to the secrets of these two people, the golden eagle is nothing. Picking sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons... stupid."
