"My head hurts!"
Feng Xi 'er opened her eyes and saw the faint morning sunlight.
Her expression changed. She waved her hand and wanted to use magic to protect her body.
However, the feeling of emptiness in her body made Feng Xi 'er's face pale.
At this time, she was not far from dying.
If the darkness had somehow stopped eroding her, she would have died long ago.
Then … she fainted as if she couldn't take it anymore. Why did she appear here?
"Lieutenant, you're awake?"
Chung Shen-soo's chest was wrapped in gauze and blood was still seeping out. He held a wooden staff and came to Feng Xi 'er's side.
"Su Daozhi, it's you?! You're still alive? "
Feng Xi 'er saw that it was one of her own and felt slightly relieved. She checked her body and felt even more relaxed. "What happened after that?"
"I don't know."
Zhong Shenxiu replied with a bitter smile, "This subordinate was stabbed by a sword and originally thought that he would not survive. Afterwards, when I woke up, I discovered that the wound had deviated from the vital point of my heart by a few centimeters. Only then did I manage to preserve my life … afterwards, I heard a loud noise coming from the altar. After bandaging my wound, I rushed over, only to find the lieutenant …"
"Altar? Ritual?"
Feng Xi 'er's expression changed. She looked towards the altar, but what she saw was a pile of rubble. She couldn't help but be even more confused. "That head is extremely powerful. It's most likely the first generation Count … It can exterminate our group with a single glance. It's extremely difficult to resist. Could it be that the ceremony succeeded and then they retreated? But if that's the case, why did he leave me and Su Daozhi alive? Could it be that … the ritual failed? We were all killed by the backlash? "
She vaguely felt that the second possibility was more likely. Otherwise, there was no other explanation for this situation.
Unfortunately, the place was polluted by the aura of the ancient gods. It was a place that could not be explored. Recklessly using Taoist techniques to spy on it was simply courting death.
"Who would've thought that apart from you, the Black Armored Cavalry would all die for the country in this battle."
Feng Xi 'er sighed and said to Su Daozhi, "You saved my life, which is a great merit. I will temporarily promote you to be the acting captain of the black armored cavalry. When I go back, I will clear your name as a felon and immediately promote you to an official position."
"Thank you, Lieutenant. However, Lieutenant Commander, the heavens help you, so I dare not claim credit! "
Chung Shen-soo was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly.
He also knew that Feng Xi 'er's promise was mostly to appease him. After all, this woman's strength was at a low point. If he had any evil thoughts, this weak woman would not be able to resist.
In fact, with his current strength, even if Feng Xi'er was at her peak, he would still be able to mess with her.
This great merit, coupled with the promise of being freed from his status as a convict, even the young Su Daozhi from before could only obediently work for him.
As for promotion? Who else could there be in the entire Black Armored Cavalry other than him?
'Oh, the Black Armored Cavalry is a cavalry, and the captain of the cavalry has a proper official position. That's why she said acting and will only promote me to an official position after my name is cleared. As expected of the daughter of an aristocratic family. Even at this point, she can still distinguish clearly …'
Chung Shen-soo's heart was filled with the desire to complain, but he forced himself not to explode. He found a few water bottles and fed some water to Feng Xi 'er. The two of them ate a few pieces of dry food.
When the sun gradually rose, they heard a commotion coming from the foot of the mountain.
"Lord Lieutenant! Lord Lieutenant! "
A group of dozens of people rushed over, led by Xu Wenling. When they saw the corpses in front of them, their hearts trembled.
After this person suppressed the sound of the camp, he saw that Feng Xi 'er had not returned for the whole night. He knew that something was wrong and hurriedly brought people to help, hoping that Feng Xi' er would be fine.
Otherwise, with the two major crimes on him, he would probably be punished to the end.
Although the soldiers in the camp were almost exhausted and unable to move, he still had his own bodyguards. Like the Black Armored Cavalry, they were fed with the best treatment and were loyal even in the face of chaos.
He gathered these people and hurriedly came to help, but it was a pity that he was too late.
If Chung Shen-soo casually thought of something, Little Feng Er would be dead.
"We are here."
Chung Shen-soo replied loudly.
Not long after, Xu Wenling rushed over with his men. When he saw the two of them, he was also stunned.
Xu Wenling immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Please forgive me for being late."
"Forget it. At least he is of some use."
Feng Xi 'er waved her hand and made a dignified gesture.
After meditating for a while, she had recovered a little of her magic power, but she still did not have much confidence. Therefore, she was much more amiable to Xu Wenling. "This time, although my cavalry suffered heavy losses, we finally foiled the enemy's plot …"
"Is this what you mean by sharing the credit?"
Xu Wenling's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said loudly, "What orders do you have, Your Excellency? I will risk my life for you! "
…
Fort Black Mountain.
The atmosphere suddenly became serious, and there were many bloodstains on the ground.
The sound of the camp last night was a complete mess. After counting, in addition to the missing people, there were 27 corpses, dozens of serious injuries, and almost all the soldiers had minor injuries.
When Chung Shen-soo walked into the camp, he immediately sensed the difference.
Even in the dark corners of the void, there seemed to be some lingering souls, and Kieran, as a Herder, sensed them.
What made him feel at ease was that he didn't find the two dogs among the ghosts.
As soon as he returned to the camp, Feng Xi 'er was naturally invited to the main tent to receive the best care.
Because of this, Chung Shen-soo was also treated by a military doctor.
When the military doctor saw the wound, he was immediately shocked and said 'good luck' to Chung Shen-soo.
Although the sword had pierced through his chest, it was not a vital point. There might not even be one among hundreds or thousands of people on the battlefield.
Naturally, Chung Shen-soo laughed it off and sent the medical doctor away. Then, he casually grabbed a soldier and threw a few black copper coins to him, asking him to find Huang Xie and Loopy Clam.
This black copper coin was called "Black Emperor Coin", and it was the common currency of the Second Empire.
Above the Black Emperor Coin was the White Emperor Coin, which was made of silver and was worth a hundred times more.
Above the White Emperor Coin was the Red Emperor Coin!
Only the Celestial Masters who cultivated in alchemy could refine real red gold and use it to make money. Most of them were rewarded by the Emperor.
These three were the currency of the human world.
Rumor had it that above the Red Emperor Coin, there was a higher level called the Yellow Emperor Coin, the Yellow Talisman. The so-called Yellow Emperor Coin was the talisman money, the currency used by cultivators.
As for the Green Emperor Coin, Su Daozhi had never heard of it. Naturally, Chung Shen-soo didn't know either.
In this era, a Black Emperor Coin was worth a lot. It was more than enough to be used as a reward for running errands.
The soldier that Chung Shen-soo didn't know left with a smile. Soon, he came back with the two dogs.
"Huang Xie, Husky …"
Chung Shen-soo greeted them with a smile and said directly, "I've made a great contribution. My next step is probably to follow Officer Feng to Fufeng City. Would you like to come with me?"
