"Where are we going next?"
Ah Hu left. Cynanchum Chinense sighed, but she did not feel much. In this world, separation was normal. People came and went like leaves falling. It was purely natural.
Where to go next was a problem.
Originally, they came out of the Marrow Cleansing Cave with no purpose.
Shen Zhenyi only wanted to take them on a trip to find an opportunity to break through.
However, although it was only a brief exchange of blows with Daoist Hu Qin, it seemed that the time needed to break through would be shortened by a bit.
"Let's go to the Iron Blood Fort in the east."
He suddenly said to Cynanchum Chinense on a whim.
"East?"
Cynanchum Chinense was stunned.
Princess Long understood and said, "Master, are you going to visit Commandant Hong?"
Commandant Hong was a disciple of the Hall of Life Extinguisher. Fan Tongtian of the Hall of Life Extinguisher used righteousness to pressure Shen Zhenyi to go to the front line to deal with the monster tide. Shen Zhenyi refused.
But Commandant Hong could not escape.
He volunteered to go to the Iron Blood Fort to end this matter.
This person was blessed with good fortune and was not a big problem. So, Shen Zhenyi was not worried.
Why did he suddenly want to go now?
"There is no need to visit."
Shen Zhenyi was very direct. "His family has let us stay for so long. It is only right that we do him a small favor. More importantly, the few of you achieved breakthroughs in the Marrow Cleansing Cave, but now you are useless. I think you should go to the Iron Blood Fort to train for a while. "
Completely useless …
Cynanchum Chinense frowned, but she had to admit that this was the truth. Whether it was the Wind Fire Coffin or Taoist Hu Qin, the three of them were useless when they fought. Even if they entered the seventh level of the True God Realm, the gap between them and their master seemed to be getting bigger.
Princess Long nodded and said, "We failed to live up to Master's expectations."
Third Young Master Shen smiled. "There is no expectation. It is enough for the disciples."
The main reason for taking in disciples was to solve some small problems.
In the current situation, it was barely enough.
He had already planned to go to the Iron Blood Fort, so there was no harm in going earlier.
Counting the days, it wouldn't be long before he made another step forward.
After Shen Zhenyi made the decision, Cynanchum Chinense, Princess Long, and Zi Ningjun naturally had no objections and went to the Iron Blood Castle together.
To them, this was nothing more than an ordinary training trip.
However, the people in the Iron Blood Castle were already facing life and death.
Commandant Hong stood on top of the iron wall, looking haggard. His body was covered in blood and fire. Looking down at the scene of devastation, he felt dejected.
Madam Hong walked behind him and advised in a low voice, "You should go down and rest for a while … You haven't gone down the city wall for three days."
The battle was intense, and there was no time to be distracted.
As a new addition to the army, how could Commandant Hong have a chance to rest?
"If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have known that the frontlines would be so dangerous … No wonder there are so many beast hordes everywhere. I'm afraid they're echoing this."
The vast beach in the distance was densely packed with all kinds of strange ferocious beasts. Who knew how many dangers were hidden in the treacherous sea?
The steel city that extended beyond the horizon was as weak as paper in front of such a huge number of Direbeasts.
The Iron Blood Castle.
This was the frontline fortress that resisted the sea beasts. Although it was not as big as the cities in other places, it was more solid and longer.
— — Because it had to prevent the attacks of the beasts from the depths of the sea!
The Direbeasts scattered in the Central Plains were already a natural disaster that humans could not resist. The East, South, West, and North, which were originally deserted places, were even more powerful Direbeasts' paradise.
The sea in the East, the forest in the South, the desert in the West, and the ice field in the North.
In order to maintain the current situation, they had to at least prevent the large-scale invasion of the Direbeasts in these places.
Therefore, 100,000 experts scattered in the border, silently resisting the attacks of the Direbeasts.
— — But in the past hundred years, fewer and fewer experts were willing to come to the frontlines, and the powerful Direbeasts in the four poles were increasing.
In many places, there were cracks that couldn't be stopped.
Perhaps every day, many Direbeasts would enter the Central Plains.
— — If not for the lack of intelligence of the Direbeasts, this Iron Blood Defense Line would have been broken through long ago.
Commandant Hong only knew that the situation had become so dangerous when he arrived here.
There were Direbeasts attacking the city almost every day, and these cunning and vicious monsters were wilder and more vicious than those in the Central Plains!
"I thought that Elder Fang was deliberately making things difficult for us, but now it seems that the situation is really bad. It's a pity that the people in Xuantian City are still in a drunken stupor." Commandant Hong sighed. "I should have come here earlier."
He was kind, righteous, and brave by nature. What he did not see in the past would not bother him. Now that he knew that the situation at the frontlines was so critical, his original complaints were thrown away.
Madame Hong was not as self-aware as him. She snorted coldly. "His words sound good, but why didn't he come himself? He even wants to accuse the Third Young Master Shen. What a cunning old fox! "
The young people of the Hall of Life Extinguisher were spilling blood, but these old fogeys were pretending to be dead. They only relied on their glib tongue to lure people to their deaths.
Madame Hong was very dissatisfied.
"At this point, the human race only wants to save themselves. How can they care so much?"
Commandant Hong smiled bitterly.
If one did not come to the frontlines, they would not be shocked. They would not know that the human race was really at the point of life and death.
Commandant Hong was originally full of confidence after breaking through to the Seventh Level True God Realm. However, when he arrived here, he found that his martial arts were not very useful. In front of the mighty army of Direbeasts, he could only barely resist.
The future of the human race was really dark and hopeless.
The battle of the Hall of Life Extinguisher was really a last-ditch struggle.
"No matter what, we husband and wife should do our best."
Madame Hong sighed.
Since she had followed him, she would follow him wherever he went. She understood Commandant Hong's thoughts. Since they had come to this dangerous frontline, there was no chance for them to go back.
They could only hope to live longer.
In such a place, surviving was the greatest success.
"Oh no!"
"Oh no!"
Just as she was about to persuade Commandant Hong to go back and rest, there was a sudden cry of horror from below the city.
"The Sea Serpent King is here!"
Boom!
A huge tide surged from the East Sea. The seawater was like a high wall, even exceeding the height of the city walls.
At the top of the tide, a huge black shadow covered the sky. It was unknown how long it was, but it spat out its scarlet tongue and rushed over with boundless power.
The Sea Serpent King!
Commandant Hong's pupils suddenly shrank.
He had been stationed here for many days and had long heard of the Sea Serpent King's name. It could be said that it was the most terrifying Direbeast in this area. However, it was usually dormant and rarely appeared.
He did not expect it to appear today!
This … was too terrifying!
Even if Commandant Hong was extremely bold, he still trembled in fear when he saw this monster that was at least a hundred feet tall.
