Chapter 2279 Corpses strewn all over the ground, stench filling the air
Next, Chi Ruonan and I did not continue to speak, but cuddled together, watching the flames flickering. It was not
until the sky was getting light and a ray of morning light was pouring down from the east that we slowly stood up.
"Go back and rest, I'm going to find Mu Han!"
"Yes." Chi Ruonan nodded: "I'll wait for you to come back!"
After that, she hugged me gently, and then turned back to the girl's room.
As for me, I flashed and flew directly to the front line.
Mu Han was rebuilding the defense line with the other dragon slayers, and this second defense line was not far from the first line, just a few hundred meters back.
At full speed, it took me just over ten minutes to reach the new defense line.
Looking from a distance, I saw that the newly constructed defense line stretched for about ten kilometers, forming an arc, like a semicircle, surrounding the human settlement behind me.
There are too many loopholes in this defense line, because once the demons rush in from both sides, the village behind will still be in great danger.
But this is also a helpless act. The number of human dragon slayers and practitioners is decreasing rapidly, and it may not be possible to defend this ten kilometers.
"Once this defense line is broken, the human dragon slayers and practitioners will have to retreat to the surrounding area of the settlement. At that time, it will be the last fight of life and death!"
I sighed, and then my figure flashed and went directly to the defense line.
"Brother Bai Ren?" Someone recognized me and greeted me enthusiastically.
I smiled and nodded, then asked, "I'm here to look for Mu Han."
"Oh, Mu Han, he's resting in that tent!" This man is also a dragon slayer, with strength at the peak of the Yin-Yang realm. He only needs to bathe in dragon blood to break through to the immortal realm.
"Okay!" I went straight into the tent and found a sand table inside. Mu Han was standing in front of the sand table, looking at the sand table with a frown, as if thinking about something. I walked
closer and took a look, then said, "Have you figured out where the demon army is stationed?"
The arrangement on the sand table was not the human defense line, because the human defense line was so small and there was not enough manpower, so there was no need for a sand table to calculate, and all they had to do was fight the demons.
The positions of the demon army were arranged on the sand table. The positions of the demon army were about a kilometer away from the destroyed defense line of the human race.
"The demon army is resting. Once the plague is gone in the abandoned defense line, the demons will launch a death charge here again." Mu Han took a deep breath. At this moment, his eyes were full of fatigue and his eyebrows were wrinkled, as if they had never relaxed.
It can be seen that he is very tired and under great pressure!
And...
he has no confidence in the future of the human race!
This is normal.
Anyone would feel hopeless when faced with a severe shortage of manpower and an almost endless number of demons.
"This is inevitable. The only way to change the situation now is... the birth of a human saint!" I spoke in a calm voice.
But Mu Han just glanced at me and then shook his head slowly.
"The birth of a saint... Oh, how can a saint be so easy? Looking back from ancient times to the present, there has never been a real saint born. Just half a saint is enough to crush an era, not to mention that it is our human race?" The
half saint that Mu Han mentioned is a cultivator who has the power of all living beings, or a cultivator who only has the power to complement each other and can formulate a complete set of rules.
If one of the two conditions is met, he is called a half-saint.
I pondered for a moment, then said, "I want to talk to you!"
"Have you been to see Luoxia?"
"Yes!" I nodded, and then narrated some of the conversations between me and Luoxia verbatim.
"You mean... you want Zhang Wangu to devour you and help Zhang Wangu become a saint?" Mu Han narrowed his eyes and looked at me: "I didn't expect that you really have power, and more than one. No wonder you can kill a dragon prince with the strength of Yin Yang Realm. I should have thought of it earlier."
"It's just... are you really willing to make wedding dresses for others?" Mu Han looked at me with burning eyes: "Since Zhang Wangu can devour your three souls and seven spirits to become a saint, then... have you never thought about becoming a saint through your own efforts? Or, relying on Zhang Wangu's hands to become a saint?"
After hearing Mu Han's words, I laughed: "Zhang Wangu has a very high prestige among the human race. This is something I can't compare to. Moreover, the human race respects Zhang Wangu very much. As long as he stands up and raises his arms, he is willing to lead the human race to fight back against the demon race. He can easily grasp the will of all living beings. This is his innate advantage, which I can't compare to. Another point is... my realm is too low. It will be difficult to surpass Zhang Wangu in a short time. Therefore, Zhang Wangu is the most suitable candidate!"
In fact, I had thought about this a long time ago.
If I were given enough time, I could indeed try to become a saint, but time is running out for the human race.
Zhang Wangu has all the qualifications, except for authority, so he is indeed the best candidate.
"Are you...really willing?" Mu Han looked at me and asked.
I smiled bitterly: "What does it matter if I'm willing or not? Compared with the survival of the entire human race, personal gains and losses are no longer important!"
Mu Han looked at me for a long time without saying anything. He just patted my shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll go with you. We are both dragon slayers in the fairyland. Although we can't resist so many monsters, it's no problem for us to sneak through quietly. What's more, I know the location of the monster army very well. We can set off now."
"Don't you need to rest?" I asked, looking at Mu Han's tired expression.
He shook his head and said, "No need, let's go!"
He called another dragon slayer and told him a few words. Then we flew out of the camp and quickly flew to the abandoned defense line where plague and corpses were everywhere.
"How do we get through the defense line?" I asked Mu Han.
Hearing this, Mu Han said, "We won't go through it, that's too risky. We can go around it. After all, it's the human defense line. I know where it's weak and has loopholes!"
He changed the direction with me and flew to the starting point of the human direction.
After flying for more than ten minutes, a foul odor immediately hit my nose. I turned around and was immediately shocked.
Because I saw... a scene that was extremely miserable, comparable to the hell of Shura.
