The flat sunset dyed the holy snow peaks pink, and the weather will change tomorrow. A faint line of pink snow drifted from the top of the snow peaks, like a narrow flagpole waving in the wind on a triangular flagpole.

The snow-capped peaks were so far away that they seemed to be as big as fingertips. She was surrounded by dark mountains. Only she, who was so proud, could still watch the setting sun in the distance.

The city below has long been submerged in the shadow of the earth, and the lights of thousands of houses that should have been like stars are now sparse, like a bonfire extinguished by a strong wind, leaving only a few lingering flames.

The livid city walls were like cages that imprisoned the free people who lived within them. Now they not only imprisoned their legs and feet, but also imprisoned their speech.

Bad news came from the south. General Qin Wushang rebelled, poisoned King Zangra at the scene of the oath of alliance with Baiyue, and led his relatives to defect to Zhong Xuan.

Rumors spread around the city, some said that Qin Wushang was an undercover agent of Daning, some said that he had taken away countless gold and silver treasures in Bizhou, some said that this Qin Wushang was not under the control of the old Shun Qin at all, and some were even more evil.

It is said that Qin Wushang is a monster with the head of a human and the body of a bird.

Nowadays, the territory of Bizhou is heavily guarded, and all the troops are dispatched to search Qin Wushang's remaining party. Faint wailing can often be heard from the bottom of the mountain, and the execution ground in the west is almost full every day.

Chen Lu leaned against the open window, looking at the dim city at the foot of the mountain. Although the night breeze was a bit cool, it gave him a rare refreshing feeling.

The dream was as it always was, and he seemed to have slightly adapted to this state of fatigue, but his thinning cheeks made his teammates worried about him.

He was not worried about his condition, because he remembered a dream about someone treating him, and what worried him now was Joseph.

The members of Yongle had agreed to go north to find Jiyang. Joseph agreed to return to the team, but he set a condition:

We must help the Shun regime capture Hesaka City.

His reason was to repay the Purple Star people for saving their lives. But Chen Lu knew that this was an excuse, and there was no sign of him stopping at the "crossroads" about Joseph.

Joseph settled everyone on a hill in the south of the city. There was a mansion built on the top of the mountain. They took special care of their food and daily life. He only told everyone not to go down the mountain, lest the scholar encounter the soldiers and arrest the wrong person, causing unnecessary trouble.

Everyone has their own things that need to be prepared. The basic point is the demon doctor because he has obtained Xiaohong's database.

The demon doctor is very cooperative with Wu Shuangxue and treats Nishino Yumei well, but his attitude towards Ling Shanggong is very cold, and he still uses the same excuse: What else do you want if you have me!

Ling Shanggong angrily said that he had become "insignificant" and simply went to learn the Purple Star language from the Purple Star people.

A gentle knock on the door brought back Chen Lu's thoughts that had drifted away, and Nishino Yumei's voice sounded at the same time: "Mr. Chen, are you there? I have something to disturb you."

Chen Lu invited Nishino Yumi into the room. She was wearing a white pleated dress in the style of a purple star and a white jacket with fur trim. She held her hands in front of her and bowed, still so polite.

Chen Lu asked her to sit down and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Nishino Yumei moved her lips, as if she was considering her words: "How is your health?"

Chen Lu spread his hands: "Just like that, I'm used to it!"

Nishino Yumei raised her head half way, with a concerned look on her face. "You fainted in the cave, what went wrong?"

Chen Lu didn't want to say that he had a dream that predicted the future, so he told half a lie: "Ever since the bottom of Huangshi Mountain was transformed by Feiying, I would faint at every turn. I don't know what happened, but

If the demon doctor says it’s okay, then it means it’s okay, right?”

"So what does Shuangxue say about using your willpower to kill monsters?" Nishino Hanami has been worried about Chen Lu for too long, and she doesn't like to ask these questions.

Chen Lu didn't know whether he didn't want to talk or confess. The new ability brought unparalleled pressure. He didn't want his teammates to worry too much, or was afraid that if they knew about it, it would cause trouble. In short, he just didn't want to talk.

"Who knows? I don't know if this is the result of genetic modification. I was knocked unconscious by the scorpion venom at that time. I have no idea what happened. Until now, I have never shown that ability again!"

Nishino Yumei was not stupid, and her intuition told her that Chen Lu must have something unspeakable, so she stopped asking and just expressed her thoughts.

"No matter what happens, please believe in everyone. We have made an oath. It is better to have one more person to bear the burden than to bear it alone."

The tip of Chen Lu's nose felt inexplicably sore, and he almost wanted to confide in Nishino Yumi, but finally held back. "Is this what you want to ask me about?"

Nishino Yumei seemed to have made a lot of determination and solemnly told Chen Lu: "The thing in the cave is called 'Golden Ant' by the Purple Star people!"

Chen Lu also changed his expression solemnly: "I lost consciousness at the time, but I heard from Shang Gong that the thing could eat up a living person in just a few seconds!"

"Yes, Zhou helped the man who rode the centipede in Baiyue to cultivate it."

"what do you want to say in the end?

Nishino Yumei thought about it again and again, then she leaned into Chen Lu's ear and said in a voice so soft that she could hardly hear it: "Zhou... I'm afraid he has changed his mind!"

Chen Lu felt his heart twitch and asked softly: "How do you say this?"

"I reunited with him earlier than you did. I learned that he is not only helping to cultivate various monsters here, but also helping them use our technology to forge various weapons, including firearms that are higher than the Purple Star manufacturing level, as well as recruitment training.

The key is that he did these things without hiding it from me!"

"Didn't he say that he wanted to repay the Purple Star people for saving their lives?"

"No!" Nishino Hanami was a little anxious, "Although I have no evidence, I can feel that Zhou doesn't want to go back and seems to be very interested in this place!"

Nishino Yumi's words partially confirmed Chen Lu's dream. Chen Lu thought quickly and asked her: "What do you want me to do?"

Nishino Hanami had tears in her eyes: "I want to go home!"

"All we did was get home!"

"But, but I feel that if we continue to be entangled with Zhou, none of us will be able to go home!"

"I promised not to leave anyone behind."

"I know this is your responsibility, and I don't want to abandon Zhou Zhou, but his character has completely changed the moment Scarlett left. Please, listen to what I say, if anything goes wrong

place, let’s escape immediately, okay?”

Nishino Hanami finally shed tears and knelt down with a plop in front of Chen Lu.

"What are you doing!" Chen Lu quickly helped her up and looked at the window that contained the night. "Have you only told me these words?"

"I only told you, no one else knows."

"Why did you choose to believe me?"

Two tearful eyes looked at Chen Lu: "Do you still remember the days when we were kidnapped by the Purple Star people? My intuition has always been very accurate. You are someone worth relying on."

Chen Lu had an inexplicable urge to hug Nishino Yumi and kiss her soft lips, but looking at her pure and flawless eyes, the evil thoughts disappeared.

"I remember your words, and I promise you that I will definitely take you home, but the premise is that I will not abandon anyone easily."

The situation in Bizhou became more and more complex. Qin Wushang's old troops were dissatisfied with Qin Sanyou's purge and launched mutinies one after another. In Bizhou City alone, no fewer than ten riots broke out in the past three days.

Warfare broke out in various places outside the city. The "rebels" gradually became one group and took over a piece of high ground in the southwest of the city. While waiting for foreign aid, they continued to attack the high ground next door.

In order to protect his teammates, Joseph sent Chen Lu and everyone back to the secret base in the mountains. Except for the secret caves that are inaccessible, the rest of the mountain streams and valleys are free for everyone to visit.

After a few days of peace and quiet, one night, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the entrance of the secret cave. He used smoke to knock down the guards one by one and went straight to the inner cave.

The bright beam of light on his fist illuminated the prison cave as bright as day, but the cave where the monster was originally imprisoned was empty. It seemed that Joseph was still on guard and had moved the monster away long ago.

Just when Chen Lu was hesitating whether to stay or not, a sinister sneer came from the bottom of the cave. Bingwu swam out on a centipede, followed by dozens of armored and armed Rongshuxi warriors.

Bingwu shouted in a loud voice: "The Imperial Master has ordered that anyone who breaks into the secret cave without permission will be shot without mercy!"

Chen Lu remained calm despite the chaos. Firstly, the dream had foreshadowed it, and secondly, he was constantly studying his ability to control objects, and he was confident that these people would not be able to embarrass him.

He responded calmly in Purple Star Language: "Where have all those monsters moved to?"

"This is not something you should worry about. Think carefully about how to reply to the Imperial Master. After all, you have a special status and I can't just kill you!" Bingwu replied angrily.

Chen Lu summoned the multifunctional ring Light Blade, waved it in front of him, and swung it towards the iron pillar beside him, causing the cast iron to break silently. "Which of you thinks you are stronger than this iron pillar, just come over here!"

"

"In this case, there is no need to capture you alive. Let's go back and reply to the Imperial Preceptor, saying that you are stubbornly resisting the arrest and we cannot kill you. I'm sorry that there is no big problem!"

Chen Lu curled his lips and put on a defensive posture. "There's so much nonsense, let's go together!"

The warriors of the Rongshuxi tribe were about to surround them, but Bingwu raised his hand to stop them.

"It's useless to sacrifice our warriors to deal with this weirdo. We need to know the treasure!" Bingwu took out a bamboo tube from his arms and shot it hard at Chen Lu. The potion in the bamboo tube sprayed into Chen Lu's chest like an arrow.

Chen Lu calmed down, and the power in his body exploded instantly, rebounding all the potions in the air and splashing all over the people of the Banyan Tree Creek tribe.

Bingwu was shocked and pale. When he realized what he was doing, he heard a flood of sound behind him, which made his scalp numb. It was urgent for him to escape, so he hurriedly urged the centipede under his crotch to swim toward the entrance of Chen Lu's cave. At the same time, he turned out something in his hand

He picked up a rotten silver gun and stabbed it into Chen Lu's chest with shaking hands.

Chen Lu blocked with the light blade in his hand, while Bingwu just ran for his life and intended to force Chen Lu away.

Chen Lu didn't stop him and let him go. When he turned back, the bottom of the cave had turned into a howling hell.

The golden ants followed the smell and swarmed up. Among the warriors who could not escape, the screams of inhumanity were louder than the waves. The white skeletons were scattered one after another. When there was no longer a standing Rongshuxi tribesman, the golden ants began to swarm towards the future.
