In the afternoon of the next day, the water source of the rice river suddenly stopped. Finally, the demon race still discovered this secret. They had already blocked the other end of the tunnel.
Everyone once again fell into a desperate situation. The loss of food caused everyone to fall into a state of near madness.
… …
At night, a cool breeze swept through the small town. Lin Muyu sat on the long stairs of the Spirit Fire Department, silently sitting there. Her stomach was empty. She did not know how long she could last.
"Awooo … …"
At this moment, the cry of the little dragon was suddenly heard.
"Be good … …" Lin Muyu used her spirit sense to communicate with the little dragon. "Right now, there is nothing for you to eat. Just stay in the different space obediently … … If I die, you will be free."
Unexpectedly, the little dragon was still unwilling to give up. "Awooo!" It seemed to want to say something to Lin Muyu. However, Akatosaurus was still too young. It did not know the dragon language at all. Naturally, it was even more unable to communicate with Lin Muyu.
Looking around, the people of the Spirit Fire Department were all sleeping soundly from hunger. No one paid attention to this place. Lin Muyu stood up and went to the corner of the camp. With a sharp cry, her spirit sense went berserk. "Puchi!" A space crack was forcibly torn open in the air. Immediately, Akatosaurus's body at least three meters long drilled out of the space crack. It let out a cry and acted like a spoiled child.
"What's wrong?" Lin Muyu asked with a smile.
The little dragon slowly crawled to its master's side. Suddenly, it opened its mouth. In the darkness, its mouth was actually holding a beast leg that weighed at least a hundred pounds. This beast leg was wrapped in a thick layer of stone skin. However, from the wound, one could see that the inside was all red meat. After the little dragon put down the beast leg, it raised its head and let out a cry. It wagged its tail as if it was asking for credit.
Lin Muyu was pleasantly surprised. She hugged Akatosaurus's head and gently stroked it. "Little guy, you have made a great contribution. What animal did this meat come from? It looks very powerful!"
Akatosaurus shook its head and wagged its tail to its master. In the end, Lin Muyu did not understand a single word. However, she could understand the meaning of the little dragon's confession. It roughly said that after experiencing eighty-one difficulties in the different space, it slaughtered gods and demons. It killed a giant beast that lived in the deep sea and left its leg for Lin Muyu to have a midnight snack.
Gently patting the little dragon's head, Lin Muyu happily said, "Alright, you can go hunt in the different space and then send the meat here. Can you eat less? I need this food. I need this food here.. After returning to the imperial capital, I will compensate you double. I will open a chicken farm for you. How about it?"
Akatosaurus actually nodded its head and agreed to this shameful deal.
She quickly sent Akatosaurus back to the different space. However, Lin Muyu knew that the different space was an empty and barren domain. It would not be easy to find a living thing. Moreover, the scales on the little dragon's neck were damaged. It must have gone through a lot to kill that giant deep sea beast. She did not know when the next time the little dragon would send food over would be, but it had to be sent. Lin Muyu did not want Qin Yan, Shen Han, and the others to starve to death in Winter Frost City. This kind of death was not suitable for them.
"Ah Yan."
Lin Muyu dragged the beast's leg into the camp and said, "Order Shen Han to start a fire and cook this meat for everyone."
As she spoke, Lin Muyu pulled out the Dragon Spirit Sword and cut the meat in half with a "dang" sound. She said, "Give half to the brothers of the Temple Battalion. The other half, come with me to the Marquis."
Qin Yan was ecstatic. "Big Brother …. Where did you get this meat?"
"Do you remember that I tamed a dragon?"
"Yes."
"It hunted this from another dimension."
"So that's how it is. That's great!"
"Come with me to the City Lord's Manor to deliver the meat."
"Okay!"
…
Shen Han excitedly started a fire to cook the meat. Lin Muyu dragged the beast's leg and walked shoulder to shoulder with Qin Yan to the City Lord's Manor. There were few lights along the way, but when they passed by Seven Seas City's camp, they saw that they were currently cooking with a fire. Steam rose from the iron pots and a faint fragrance permeated the air. Even though this fragrance smelled a little strange.
"Why do they have meat?" Qin Yan said in astonishment.
"I don't know …"
Lin Muyu strode forward and said, "Who's in charge here?"
A Captaincy stood up. It was Shi Huo. A hint of nervousness flashed across his face as he cupped his fists and said, "So it's Young General Lin Muyu. It's so late, where is Young General Lin going?"
"What are you cooking?" Lin Muyu asked.
Shi Huo hurriedly laughed, "Nothing much … My brothers dug up a few rats while digging, so we cooked them for a meal first."
"Is that so? Let me see. "
Lin Muyu walked forward in a flash, raising her hand to lift the lid of the pot. Borrowing the light of the torch, she could only see a few human legs and arms currently cooking in the pot. A layer of dazzling oil floated on the surface of the water. Her entire body shuddered, and she hurriedly put down the lid.
"Shi Huo, you eat humans?!" Lin Muyu said in astonishment.
"Yes, I eat humans!" A hint of coldness flashed across Shi Huo's eyes, his palm also pressing on the hilt of his sword, saying, "I'm extremely hungry, I can eat anything. What's the point of eating humans? Lin Muyu, if you dare tell this matter to the Marquis, I won't let you off!"
Lin Muyu also smiled, "Ah Yan, let's go, go tell the Marquis."
"You!"
Shi Huo suddenly rushed over, shouting in a low voice, "Then don't blame me for being impolite!"
Lin Muyu did not resist, directly turning around and shouting in a low voice, Dou Qi revolved around her body, Xuan Energy condensed into a bright star in front of her, directly causing Shi Huo to fly backwards. The corner of his mouth curled up, and he indifferently said, "You want to kill me to silence me? Why don't you know what you're worth, are you worthy? Ah Yan, let's go. "
Shi Huo stood there in a daze, a group of Seven Seas City soldiers beside him who were dizzy from hunger all stood up one after another, asking, "General, this brat is going to tell the Marquis, we … what should we do?"
"Let's eat first!"
Shi Huo's eyes were filled with coldness, "Pass down the order, let our brothers eat their fill, sharpen their swords, when the Marquis comes, it will be time for us to fight with our lives on the line. Also, let our brothers at the South City Gate prepare to receive us, open the city gates at any time, and let the Demon Race enter the city. I want to see if the Marquis will deal with the Demon Race first, or us first!"
"Yes, General!"
… …
Inside the mayor's residence, Min Yulin abruptly slammed his palm on the table, causing cracks to appear on the sturdy surface, his face ashen, "Shi Huo, this bastard, is he really eating the corpses of the Empire's soldiers?"
"Absolutely, Head Deacon and I both saw it." Qin Yan nodded.
"Bastard!"
Min Yulin's eyes turned cold, "Men, come with me, we're going to get that Shi Huo!"
The old general Xu Ying cupped his hands, saying, "Marquis, absolutely not. Shi Huo is after all the Captaincy of Seven Seas City, and Duke Lan is only lending us soldiers, but we cannot lightly touch the important generals of Seven Seas City. Wang Xi deserved his death, but if we touch Shi Huo now, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain it to the Empress and Duke Lan when we return to Lanyan City."
"Can we still return to Lanyan City?"
Min Yulin smiled, "No need to say more, come with me to get Shi Huo, in any case … we won't be able to hold out for much longer."
"Yes!"
… …
The moment they walked out of the mayor's residence, the sky flashed with lightning and thunder, and in the blink of an eye, heavy rain poured down. Before Min Yulin and the others reached the Seven Seas City camp, a soldier rushed over, rolling and crawling in the rain to Min Yulin, crying, "Marquis, something bad has happened. Shi Huo has rebelled, and he has led more than 5,000 men to the south of the city, saying that he wants to open the city gates and let the demons enter."
"It's over …"
Min Yulin closed his eyes in pain, letting the rain pour over him, saying, "Winter Frost City is finished, the Yangwei Legion is finished …"
"Father, let's … let's kill our way out of the city!"
"Yes."
Min Yulin looked at the crowd and said, "Generals, I will soon lead the Tomahawk Battalion and the Sky Cavalry to the south gate to resist the demon army. You should lead your troops and break out of the encirclement if you have the chance. It's good to leave a spark for the Yangwei Legion."
"Yes!" Lin Muyu, Xu Ying, Su Wentian, and the others received the order.
Min Yulin moved with heavy steps to Lin Muyu, took out a piece of white cloth, and held it in his hand, saying, "Young General, you are the foster son of the former emperor, the brother of the empress, and the Grand Deacon of the Holy Temple … Min Yulin knows that you will definitely return to the capital alive. When you see the empress, please give this to her, and tell her … Min Yulin will repay the empire's kindness in my next life."
Lin Muyu took the cloth and unfolded it. On it were four blood-red words: I will not let you down.
He trembled slightly, and hurriedly stuffed the cloth into his Qiankun Bag.
Min Yulin looked at the crowd, cupped his fists, and said, "Everyone, take care!"
The crowd bowed again, and after knowing that Min Yulin had turned around and left, they dispersed in the rain.
…
Lin Muyu and Qin Yan went straight to the camp of the Holy Temple Camp.
"Big Brother …" Qin Yan was a little vexed, and said, "If we didn't want to expose Shi Huo for eating people, I'm afraid such an unforeseen event would not have happened. It's all my fault for being too rash."
Lin Muyu shook his head, "Don't blame yourself, what kind of person is Shi Huo? He is eating the corpses of the soldiers now, and after he finishes eating the corpses, I'm afraid he will eat us. Sooner or later, we will have to face each other. Now is just a little earlier, let's return to the camp first, and prepare to break out after eating."
"Yes!"
After returning to the camp, Chen Han had already prepared two pieces of meat for Lin Muyu and Qin Yan, each piece of meat weighed about seven to eight taels. Lin Muyu did not stand on ceremony, and started eating the meat in big bites. He knew that perhaps this piece of meat provided him with the energy to escape, and allowed him to live to see Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi, and Chu Yao again.
After eating, the people of the Holy Temple Camp all put on their straw rain capes, and rushed towards the South Gate.
In the middle of the night, the sounds of killing rang out from the South Gate, and it was pitch black everywhere. The torches had already been extinguished by the rain, and in the dim light, only the sound of swords clashing could be heard. The South Gate had already opened, and in the darkness, Min Yulin's loud roar could be heard, "Charge out, all of you charge out, as many as you can escape counts!"
But suddenly in the darkness, a flame burst out!
"Peng!"
Dozens of soldiers of the empire were blasted into pieces, and in the light of the flame, Lin Muyu, Qin Yan, and the rest saw a malevolent looking demon, it was the marshal of the Armor Demon Army – Lei Chong!
