Chapter 185: Killing, Yanguan
"ah!!"
As soon as we got down to the foot of Tianzhu Peak, a terrified scream came from the woods in the distance. It was like seeing an evil ghost from the Yama Hell.
Even Lingling can hear extremely subtle sounds from a long distance.
The wind spirit changed back into the appearance of a little girl and sat on top of Bai Mo's head. The remaining wind breath turned into a cyclone and placed the two of them steadily on the ground.
Seeing them looking towards the woods where the screams of terror came from, she looked over too.
"What's in there?" Lingling asked. She knew Bai Mo must have felt it.
"There's a man in front, a mountain man behind him, and another group of mountain men behind him. They're fishing."
Bai Mo looked over there and outlined the situation based on the sound wave detection in his mind, and his expression was no longer relaxed.
"Mountain man..." Lingling nodded, thoughtfully.
And under Bai Mo's command, Feng Ling changed again and transformed into the mythical beast Fei Lian. It walked leisurely, carrying Ling Ling and Bai Mo, and went over there.
His expression was leisurely and his steps were relaxed. But with each step, his figure was already more than ten meters away.
So after just a few dozen steps, everyone saw a person, a person crawling and screaming!
He was covered in blood, and his face was covered in it, so it was hard to tell whether it was his own blood or someone else's.
"ah!"
"ah!!!"
"ah!!!!"
He was crawling on the ground, using his hands to thrust forward into the soil again and again, tearing the ground, and using his arms covered in blood, mud and grass to drag his entire body forward.
With every step forward, a cry of fear and pain would come from his wide-open mouth, which had no tongue, no teeth, and was covered in blood.
The reason why he was said to be crawling was because his legs had been torn off long ago, and tendons and bones were sticking out of the extremely irregular broken ends, leaving long bloody threads on the ground.
Seeing the two people coming from the front right, his dark eyes seemed to light up with a face raised in pain.
However, this light was too weak, and disappeared instantly as soon as it started to shine.
He subconsciously exerted force with both hands, pulling his body forward again, as if he wanted to get closer to them. As he moved, a mechanical scream louder than before came out of his mouth.
"ah!!!!!!"
Was it an urging, a warning, an exhortation, a plea, or despair? Perhaps he himself couldn't tell, and neither could Bai Mo.
The only thing that was clear was the tragic scene before him, the ugly mountain man walking slowly and interestedly behind him like a slave owner, and the rage that was growing in his chest.
This mountain man was more than three meters tall, with a strong build, fangs like a wild boar, and was chewing something in his mouth. In his giant bear-like claws, he was holding a bloody human leg!
A pair of copper-bell-like eyes turned ferocious in an instant when they saw them.
“Roar!!!”
A loud and rhythmic roar came out of his mouth, as if he was notifying something, but his footsteps did not stop, and he directly threw away the half of the human leg in his hand.
Without any mercy, he crushed the person who was crawling slowly and screaming in pain in front of him under his feet, and then played with these two fresh preys at will.
Seeing this scene, Bai Mo's eyes were filled with anger. The last person who called out to others like this probably died in the same way! He had seen the brutal and bloody descriptions of the mountain people in the books, but now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he realized how pale those descriptions were!
There was a flash of silver light, and a telekinesis turned into a virtual claw, directly grabbing the mountain man's raised foot.
"Do you like to torture people?"
Bai Mo looked directly at the mountain man and asked coldly. Without waiting for the mountain man to reply, he saw more spatial forces descending, turning into silver chains that directly penetrated the mountain man's limbs and nailed him to the ground.
Lingling was a little girl, but she remained calm in the face of all this. She just reminded: "Bai Mo, it just tipped off the enemy. Those ambushes following behind should be here too."
Bai Mo nodded slightly, and the sound string detection clearly presented every move of the mountain people who were approaching him in his mind.
Knowing that there were mountain men behind him, he did not rush to deal with the one in front of him.
Lingling asked Fengling to put her down. As soon as she landed on the ground, she immediately walked to the man who had stopped shouting and turned his head blankly to look at the mountain man who was unable to move behind him.
After Lingling stopped his bleeding, the light of hope reappeared in his eyes.
Beer! Beer! Beer!
Beer beer beer!!!
Suddenly, roars sounded from all directions, and the ferocious power was like a night that had been frozen for ten thousand years, ready to extinguish the radiance of hope once again.
The surrounding woods collapsed, and tall and sturdy mountain men, waving their hands like giant bear claws, surrounded them from all sides.
A dozen mountain men rushed forward one after another, as if they all wanted to taste the first bite of flesh and blood that fell into their mouths accompanied by a cry of fear.
Facing these hateful guys, Bai Mo had no intention of holding back. If he didn't kill them in the most horrific and painful way, it would not be enough to extinguish the anger in his heart!
A thought like the sky falling suddenly emerged, and along with the air waves that blew away the trees as the space was covered, the weight of the vast ocean suddenly pressed down, instantly freezing the running mountain people in place.
The space was compressed little by little along with Bai Mo's will. He did not kill these things in an instant. He wanted to make them taste the pain of every detail of life's withering.
First, the skin cracked and blood oozed out. Then, as the space continued to compress, the skin in the blood was crushed along with the blood into the flesh.
The flesh was torn and the tendons were broken. The eyeballs could not bear the pressure and exploded. The flesh, blood and skin that were crushed by the force of space were smeared on the already cracked bones. Gradually, the bones could not bear the huge pressure anymore. From bottom to top, from toes to skull, they broke into pieces bit by bit, and then mixed with the substance that was difficult to distinguish between flesh and blood, and turned into a pool of feces smeared on the ground.
"Are you relieved?" Lingling raised her eyes and glanced at him. Even facing such a bloody scene, she remained calm.
"fine."
"He seems to know some information." Lingling looked at the man whose bleeding had stopped. His face was covered in blood and it was impossible to tell his age.
Only a pair of clear black and white eyes were staring at the mountain man who was killed by Bai Mo, revealing hatred and relief.
As if he remembered something, he pointed in a direction and made an unidentified sound.
“Ah~Ah~!”
He waved his arms in that direction, and his eyes looked up at Bai Mo, becoming anxious, as if he was eager to tell Bai Mo some information.
"Don't worry, are there any friends of yours over there?"
Bai Mo squatted down and looked at him lying on the ground.
"Ah! Ah~~ar!"
The man shook his head and pointed in that direction vigorously, his syllables urging.
Lingling looked in that direction, and the map of Taihe Mountain flashed through her mind. Her face suddenly became serious, and she said to Bai Mo in a serious tone:
"Bai Mo, quickly let Xiao Fengling take us there, or leave Taihe Mountain. Something might have happened in Yanguan!"
"Huh?" Bai Mo turned his head to look at her. There were basically no monsters in Taihe Mountain that could threaten Yanguan. The only one that could pose a threat to this city gate was the large tribe of mountain people in the west. Therefore, Bai Mo was a little puzzled.
"How could that be? Didn't General Feng from Fancheng just wipe out a group of mountain people in Taihe Mountain?"
"Do you remember when we were in the teahouse and heard those people chatting, a military magician said that their military control was transferred to the heart of Jiangzhou?"
Lingling asked, and before Bai Mo nodded, she continued:
"Yanguan is already the front line of Jiangzhou's defense against the mountain tribe. Even the high-ranking guards of Yanguan have been transferred away. Based on the situation in Jiangcheng, one can imagine the military magician guard situation in Fancheng and its surrounding cities.
It is precisely because there are no military forces around that the people of Taihe Mountain rebelled some time ago, so Feng Chunjun, who directly governs Fancheng and guards the safety of Xiangcheng, will take action to eliminate those people! "
Bai Mo understood, but was a little unsure.
"You mean, that small group of mountain people's unrest was just a test by the mountain people tribe. They want to attack Xiangcheng, or even invade the hinterland of Jiangzhou? And the first thing they want to eliminate is Yanguan, which can monitor their movements at all times!"
Lingling nodded seriously, her eyes as calm as ever.
"I would rather guess wrong, but this is something that is likely to happen. Logically speaking, a pass like Fancheng, which involves fighting against a large tribe, is not enough to have only one super-class general in charge."
When the two men turned their inquiring eyes to the man lying on the ground, they saw him nodding frantically and pointing desperately in the direction of Yanguan.
"Heh! I hope the vanguard of this group of mountain people won't be too numerous."
Taking a deep breath, Bai Mo signaled Feng Ling to take him, and he took Ling Ling to Yanguan. Taihe Mountain stretched for nearly a thousand miles, and his sound string detection could not cover such a large area.
Fortunately, Bai Mo's speed is not slow. He has the displacement of wind and earth, and is blessed by soul seeds. Some people believe that he is an assassin mage.
As they approached Yanguan Peak, waves of shouting like the cries of monkeys reached Bai Mo's ears from a thousand meters away.
As the distance got closer, the situation inside the pass also came into his mind.
The protective barrier is still in operation. There are many ordinary people in the city, and even more injured hunters. From the information in their words, Bai Mo knows that it was their courage that was frightened by the mountain people some time ago that saved their lives, and those who did not believe in it may have died.
Teams of military mages were casting magic in an orderly manner at the city gates. Most of them were at the beginner level, and there were not many of them. When they fell among the group of monsters, they were like a cup of water poured into a lake. Perhaps the previous battles had already consumed too much of the military mages' magical power.
There are also mid-level magic, but obviously less, and they mainly rely on defensive barriers.
Most of the hunters are mid-level mages. After all, without strength, one would not dare to explore near a demon tribe.
But they had no commander, and each fought on his own. Every time they used mid-level magic, it was dodged by the mountain people's strange formation, and it was useless without causing much damage.
Many mountain people surrounded the small Yanguan. They gathered together, dancing and making strange movements, and every time those intermediate-level magics that could hurt them fell.
They can all be easily avoided by them, and among these mountain people, there is a mountain man who is four meters tall, and he is constantly giving instructions.
Pairs of giant hands kept hitting the city gate, causing the tall city walls and the barrier to tremble. It would not be long before the barrier of the city gate would dissipate due to lack of energy.
"Damn it, where are those spies? Why did so many mountain people suddenly appear? Where is the signalman? Did they go to Fancheng to inform him?"
A deputy military commander who was temporarily serving as the commander here shouted loudly, and beside him, a pale-faced messenger immediately stepped forward to report.
"Report, there is no message from the reconnaissance mage, and the communication team we sent out has not escaped the encirclement!"
"What should we do? Are we going to let the hundreds of people behind us die?"
The deputy military commander, who had a face as long as a horse, hammered hard on the city wall in front of him.
A thousand meters away, getting closer and closer to Yanguan Pass, Bai Mo's expression became more and more serious.
Lingling glanced at Bai Mo's expression and knew that he had no intention of leaving Taihe Mountain. She thought Yanguan was still there, so she said:
"Bai Mo, summon Daju and have it take me to Fancheng, and take the wounded with me."
"What if we meet mountain people on the mountain road? It's safer for you to follow me."
"I know how to protect myself, and following you will make me too conspicuous. I guess Fancheng doesn't know what's going on here yet, so the sooner we notify him, the sooner we can be prepared."
"Okay." Bai Mo was finally convinced. Lingling's ability to protect her life was indeed very strong, so he was about to summon the Divine Dust Tiger. However, as soon as the star map lit up, he smiled awkwardly again.
"I forgot that the big orange topaz fruit ate too much and fell into a deep sleep."
"You're a funny guy."
"You also forgot that it was you who asked me to call Daju first."
"You didn't even tell me that it fell into a deep sleep, and it sleeps all the time, so how do I know it was a deep sleep this time!"
Bai Mo scratched his head and spread his hands helplessly, "You should just follow me. There are only more than 500 mountain people ahead. I can handle it."
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the foot of Yanguan Pass Mountain, and the military magician on the top of the mountain also saw him.
"Who is that! Are they here to support us?" someone asked.
"You look quite young, maybe you are here to seek refuge, but it's a pity that this place is no longer safe."
Someone with better eyesight said, and even when he saw a group of mountain people coming towards them, he shouted:
"Run, young man! Yanguan is not safe!"
Bai Mo heard the shout, and also heard that the deputy military commander on the city gate seemed to want to take advantage of the chaos among the mountain people at this moment to send a communication mage to Fancheng.
Then his voice, like spring thunder, immediately resounded over the entire Yanguan mountain peaks.
"No one is allowed to come out, I have surrounded these mountain people!"
As he spoke, one moon-white star map after another condensed around Bai Mo's body. In the blink of an eye, they were transformed into a brilliant and tranquil moon-white constellation that seemed to connect distant time and space.
"Little Wind Spirit."
"Hmm?"
"Lead your brothers to charge!"
"Huhu!" Feng Ling nodded excitedly, and actually turned into a divine beast more than ten meters tall that looked like a lion, but even more handsome. Bai Mo recognized it; it was called Bi'an.
"Don't change it randomly. What if they come to me to collect copyright fees?"
Bai Mo shook his head and stretched out his hand, as if tearing down a huge curtain, and quickly and gradually a tall summoning gate appeared in front of everyone.
