Chapter 240: Saving Wu Shuang’s Doomsday
April 17, 48th year of Longyou

There is only one hour left until dawn.

On the south side of Yangyuan Peak, Yuwen Tao saw hundreds of pieces of fire-condensing oil and a dozen torches in the package. His face was instantly filled with joy. He hurriedly lit the torches and then covered his entire body with the fire-condensing oil.

Just now, he had limited fire oil, so he could only use it on the dewdrops. Now that he had plenty of it, he simply crushed it and smeared it all over his body. Watching the white dewdrops on his body fade away quickly, he finally felt less heavy-hearted.

“Yuwen Tao, what’s going on inside?”

Yuwen Tao looked up and saw Yuan Cheng on the other side of the ravine, and more than a hundred people wearing pale gold armor beside him, dragging a few large trees, obviously preparing to build a bridge. He immediately shouted:
“Don’t come over here. This monster hasn’t shown up yet. If you get close to me, a lot of white dew will grow on my body. When the dew heats up and explodes, blue flames will come out. Applying fire-condensing oil will help!”

At the edge of the ravine, Yuan Cheng’s face darkened and he immediately waved his hand to stop everyone who was preparing to build a bridge. Then he looked down at the white dewdrops emerging from his arms and quickly took out the fire-condensing oil and applied it on his body.

“Use the fire-condensing oil all over your body first, and don’t let the dew spread!”

Yuwen Tao’s reminder was obviously a little late. Not only himself, but also the more than one hundred Daxia people beside the ravine began to have dewdrops on their arms and faces.

Knowing that the dewdrops would heat up and explode, Yuan Cheng no longer dared to be careless. He immediately asked everyone to stop and apply fire-condensing oil first.

“Your Excellency’s guess is too accurate. There is indeed something wrong with this Yanglu Station. Fortunately, I brought a lot of fire-condensing oil, otherwise, I would have been buried here.”

Seeing more than a hundred people from Daxia constantly taking out fire-condensing oil from the bags around their waists and smearing it on their bodies, Yuan Cheng’s face was full of relief.

Just now at the Beehive Base, Xia Chuan ordered him to bring people to Yanglu to help Yuwen Tao, and specifically told him to bring some fire-condensing oil. He didn’t understand it at the time, but now when he saw the strange blue flames around Yangyuan Peak, he suddenly understood.

Seeing that everyone had applied the fire-condensing oil and the white dew on their bodies had all disappeared, Yuan Cheng turned his head to look at Yuwen Tao behind the fire and immediately gave the order:
“Use fire-condensing oil to suppress the fire in the ravine!”

He had seen with his own eyes that the first iron arrow coated with fire oil could suppress the blue fire in the ravine. As long as the fire could be suppressed, Yuwen Tao behind the ravine would naturally be able to escape.

More than a hundred people took action upon hearing the order and immediately shot iron arrows coated with fire-condensing oil towards the bottom of the ravine.

Tsk tsk……

The blue flame in the ravine was indeed suppressed by the fire-condensing oil. It gradually shrank from tens of meters high to more than ten meters, and finally lowered to below the ravine.

call…………

The moment the flames fell below the ravine, a figure suddenly rushed over from the opposite side. Who else could it be except Yuwen Tao who had been observing the fire!
In mid-air, Yuwen Tao’s expression was still a little panicked, especially when he looked down and saw several new white dewdrops appearing on his chest, his expression became even more nervous.

The big bag of fire-condensing oil that Yuan Cheng threw over was enough for him to apply all over his body several times. The problem was that after he applied it over and over again, he found that the white dewdrops would still continue to grow.

Especially the chest, which had been pierced by Li Xuantian’s snake spear before. Although the injury was stabilized with the Golden Wound Pill, the wound was still there. The white dewdrops were obviously extremely bloodthirsty and it was easy for them to recur at the wound site. No matter how much fire-condensing oil he applied, new ones would continue to grow.

“It’s probably a location issue. If I stay at Yangyuan Peak, white dew will continue to grow. If I continue to stay here, I will die in the end. I can only take a gamble. If I can’t jump over, I can only accept my fate!”

Just now when he was standing on this side of the ravine, Yuwen Tao had been busy all the time except for applying fire-condensing oil on his body. He saw clearly that hundreds of people including Yuan Cheng on the other side of the ravine did not have white dewdrops on their bodies after applying fire-condensing oil once. This proved that it was most likely the problem with Yang Yuanfeng.

The core of the Bai Lugui’s ability radiation range is Yang Yuan Peak. The farther away it is, the weaker its ability will be. In this case, he must first escape from Yang Yuan Peak.

The problem was that there were a few more white dewdrops on his chest, and he was worried that he would be contaminated when he jumped over the flames, which was why he looked panicked.

“The fire is already coming down, it shouldn’t happen, just jump over it!”

There were a thousand thoughts in his mind, but in the end it was only a moment. Seeing that they were only one step away from the other side, Yuwen Tao’s face showed a deep joy.

But this expression of joy turned into horror the next second!
“Want to run? It’s not that easy!”

boom…………

The blue sea of ​​fire that had just been suppressed under the ravine suddenly rose up at the moment when Yuwen Tao was about to step over it.

Instead of all the flames rising up, the flames below gathered first, then condensed into a fire snake, which suddenly rose up and rushed straight towards Yuwen Tao’s body.

laugh…………

The white dew on Yuwen Tao’s chest exploded!
A blue flame suddenly rose up, and then quickly detonated the remaining dewdrops around the wound. From Yuan Cheng’s perspective, a ball of blue flame suddenly exploded on Yuwen Tao’s chest, and then his entire body was directly swallowed up by the flames.

“what…………”

Yuwen Tao, who was in the flames, suddenly let out a violent roar of pain.

“Rescue!”

Yuan Cheng did not hesitate at all. He crushed two pieces of fire-condensing oil with his hands, jumped up and hugged Yuwen Tao who was flying from the air, and then rubbed the fire-condensing oil on his chest.

The hundreds of people from Daxia were not idle either. They quickly raised their bows and shot arrows, suppressing the blue flames that were still chasing after Yuwen Tao.

“You have a chest injury, what happened?”

“Ah… injured by Li Xuantian. This monster should have just revived. We didn’t see its real body the whole time. This dew is like a plague. It should be one of its means of attack. As long as there is a wound, it is easy to be infected. Its real body is probably still on Yangyuan Peak. Don’t get close to it…”

Although the severe pain was still continuing, Yuwen Tao still forced himself to speak out what he had roughly guessed.

Fortunately, the fire-condensing oil is still useful.

With Yuan Cheng’s continuous application, the blue flames on Yuwen Tao’s body were soon extinguished, and the white dew on his chest no longer recurred. However, many horrible scars burned by the flames were left at the wound sites.

“This flame can actually burn through the membrane!”

Yuan Cheng looked at the scar with shock on his face. The cold-resistant membrane had been reshaped, and ordinary flames could not burn through it unless it was burned continuously. Even though Yuwen Tao was surrounded by blue flames just now, the whole process from burning to extinguishing took only five or six breaths. The fact that Yuwen Tao’s membrane could be burned like this showed how powerful it was.

“Sir, the people over there are calling for help!”

Yuwen Tao had already fallen into a coma. As soon as Yuan Cheng raised his head, he heard a voice beside him. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Yang Yuanfeng, and his eyes suddenly fixed.

“Help, sir, help!”

“Save us, save us.”

“Wow, wow, wow, I’m so hot, I’m so hot, help me…”

………………

The other side of the ravine was already crowded with people.

At a cursory glance, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people.

Wu Ying, Han Jiuli and other Digging Realm masters have disappeared. They are probably looking for other escape routes. The people standing here now have all come from the top of the mound.

Seeing that most of these people were ordinary people, and few were at the lumberjack level, Yuan Cheng immediately realized that these should be the people from the Yang camp site before.

Their bodies were covered with white dewdrops, which emitted an extremely creepy cold light in the night. Especially because there was ice on the other side of the mound, the cold light of the dewdrops was reflected on the ice surface, just like a large group of ghosts in the underworld, crying out for justice and asking for help.

Yuan Cheng looked down at Yuwen Tao, who was already seriously injured and unconscious. His face struggled for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and asked, “How long until dawn?”

“Half an hour at most!”

After hearing the report from his men, Yuan Cheng turned around and looked across the ravine again. Hearing the desperate cries for help, he finally made the decision to save people.

“Each person should keep two pieces of fire-condensing oil on their body, and throw the rest over. Shoot all the arrows on your body, and after the flames are suppressed, build a bridge immediately. How many people can survive depends on themselves.”

“Yes, my lord!”

Upon hearing the sound, the people of Daxia immediately began to draw their bows and shoot arrows to suppress the fire in the ravine. Then two people rushed out, lifted up the large tree that had been prepared earlier, and placed it across the ravine.

boom…………

“This black oil can wipe off the white dew on your body. After that, walk over the wooden bridge. How many people can come over depends on you. Hurry!”

Yuan Cheng roared and threw the fire-condensing oil on his body to the opposite side. The other people from Da Xia followed suit, shouting and throwing the fire-condensing oil to the opposite side.

This was like the last straw for those who escaped from the top of Yangyuan Peak.

Countless people began to scramble for the fire-condensing oil. Those who were quicker applied it while rushing onto the wooden bridge and heading towards the ravine.

Yuan Cheng frowned, and when he saw the looting happening in the other crowd, he subconsciously wanted to roar, but thinking that it would not have much effect even if he stopped it at this moment, he could only endure it and continue shooting arrows to suppress the flames under the ravine.

In the face of the intense fear of life and death, the good and evil of human nature are instantly magnified countless times.

“Son, I got a piece. Run quickly and take the wooden bridge with the least people. You won’t be able to grab the other bridges.”

One father grabbed a piece of fire-condensing oil, smeared it directly on his son, and then reluctantly sent his son onto the wooden bridge.

“Brother, run, run! There are too many dewdrops on my body. It’s too late. Take mom and dad with you and run!”

One brother, for the sake of his family, simply gave up using the fire-condensing oil and let his younger brother take his elderly parents with him.

“Aying, go, go quickly, there is still a chance to survive.”

“No, I won’t leave. I won’t leave. If we die, we will die together.”

There were young lovers who gave up their own chances to live, wanting the other to escape, but in the end, love overcame fear and they chose to die together.

“Wuwuwu… Daddy, where are you? I’m so hot.”

There were helpless children, unable to bear the scorching dew all over their bodies, crying and looking for their missing parents in the crowd.

…………

The good side, although noticeable, is ultimately only a minority.

On the several wooden bridges across the ravines, there was more pushing and shoving than anything else. Everyone was afraid that they would not be able to escape, so they started to scramble for things.

“Don’t block the road, get out of my way, get out of the way, go to hell.”

Some were even vicious and directly pushed away the people standing in their way.

Pfft…………

Yuan Cheng finally couldn’t help it and shot those tumors directly, but even so, he knew very well that it was impossible to stop the riot at this critical moment, so he could only watch. “Press it for the last ten minutes and save some arrows!”

After estimating the time of dawn, Yuan Cheng gave the last order, then turned and stared at the people on the other side of the wooden bridge, hoping that more of them would run out.

The prerequisite for saving people is to ensure your own safety.

It’s only twenty minutes until dawn. These hundreds of people from Da Xia are only at the Digging Realm and can’t survive until dawn. He must leave time for everyone to find a hiding place, so he can only do this.

“This monster should have just revived. We didn’t see its real body the whole time. The dewdrops are like a plague. It should be one of its means of attack. As long as there is a wound, it is easy to be infected. Its real body is probably still on Yangyuan Peak.”

Yuan Cheng looked down at the unconscious Yuwen Tao, recalled what Yuwen Tao had just said, then turned to look at Yang Yuanfeng, his expression becoming more serious again.

Judging from Yuwen Tao’s description alone, this strange monster on Yangyuan Peak is much more difficult to deal with than the wooden puppet and mirror fairy encountered before.

“We finally managed to get into Pingxi Plain, but we encountered a resurrected monster!”

………………

While Yuan Cheng was rescuing people at Yangyuan Peak, an extremely fierce battle was also breaking out at Wushuang Camp, located northwest of the Beehive.

The periphery of Wu Shuang’s base was surrounded by hundreds of pure black boulders. Some of these boulders were more than ten meters high, three to five meters wide, and even more astonishingly thick, at nearly ten meters.

What is commendable is that when such huge rocks are stacked together, the largest gap between them is only as wide as a finger, which is extremely tight.

There is only one exit in the entire Stonehenge, which is located on the east side.

The exit is only three meters wide and six meters high. Considering the height, thickness and gaps of the boulder outer wall, if there is a big war, we only need to defend this place and the entire garrison will be basically safe.

How difficult is it to guard a hole that is more than three meters wide?

People from Wu Shuang may not have known this before.

But now, they definitely understand!
The exit on the east side of the camp had already been broken through, and a large number of Daxia people wearing light golden armor rushed into the camp through the opening like a tide.

The defenders on Wu Shuang’s side were all forced to retreat step by step, and soon they ran into the archers behind them.

“Brothers, kill!”

“You think you can stop us with just these few people? Dream on!”

“One Digging Realm is worth 100 contribution points. Brothers, charge!”

“It was all thanks to the adults that we took down the beehive. We didn’t contribute much. It’s finally our turn to contribute to Wu Shuang.”

“Brothers, don’t be scared. You don’t want this huge amount of contribution points, but I do!”

……………………

Just as the people from Da Xia who were charging at this moment said, it was basically not thanks to them, the Digging Realm, that they were able to take down the beehive before. All the big troubles were solved by Xia Chuan and a group of Cold-Resistant Realm people. At most, they just broke through the iron door of the beehive and shot arrows for a while.

They finally had the opportunity to march to Pingxiyuan, but they ended up coming all this way and not contributing anything at all. The fighting spirit that had been pent up in everyone’s hearts was not released at all and had long been suppressed.

At this moment, they can finally have a hearty battle, and the one they are facing is the Wu Shuang camp, which has only more than 500 defenders. The 1,500 intermediate hunting team members on the Da Xia side are all like chickens with blood injected, rushing forward madly.

If the people of Da Xia were all as high-spirited as if they had been injected with hormones, then the people on Wu Shuang’s side were really like eggplants hit by frost. Most of them had confused looks on their faces.

“Where did all these people come from?”

“Daxia, is there a camp called Daxia in Pingxi?”

“Hasn’t the leader already led his men to defeat Yang Lu? Why are there so many people coming to attack us?”

“They are not from Longshan. Daxia, which camp are they from?”

“Exit, how was the exit opened?”

………………

The front-row troops of the two sides have been entangled together, but most of the people on Wu Shuang’s side are still confused. This shows how serious the one-sided situation of the battle is.

Keng…

In the crowd, Hong Mu had already rushed to the front row. He had just killed a Wu Shuang’s Digging Realm warrior with a knife when his helmet was shot off by an iron arrow. A big knife followed closely behind and hit his shoulder.

“How can this be!”

However, when the owner of the broadsword saw that it only cut through the armor and did not hurt Hong Mu’s shoulder, his pupils suddenly dilated and his face was full of disbelief.

“How can a mere ten-forged armor block my sword?”

Hong Mu turned his head and saw the dense patterns on the man’s sword. He immediately recognized that it was a hundred-forged sword. Feeling the severe pain in his shoulder bones, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

His basic strength was only 19,000, but from the previous sword strike, he could clearly feel that the man in front of him had a strength of at least 25,000, which meant that the other party was better than him in both cultivation and weapons.

“Thank goodness this ten-forged iron armor is mixed with the Lei Kui skull, otherwise, my arm would have been gone with this blow!”

Hong Mu’s relief did not last long. The man in front of him failed in his first attack with the knife, so he immediately aimed for his head with the second knife.

The worst thing is that his helmet was just shot off by an arrow!
Hong Mucang retreated, trying to get back into the crowd of people charging from Daxia, but he was too excited in his charge and was already far away from the crowd, so it was impossible for him to retreat quickly.

Seeing that the man was chopping towards his head with the big knife, Hong Mu had to give up running away and hurriedly raised his knife to block.

Click…………

Hong Mu used the Zhan Dao, one of the four great swords of Da Xia. The blade was narrow and short, and very flexible, so he easily blocked the man’s sword.

What’s surprising is that after the two knives collided, there were signs of slight curling of the blades.

“It’s also a hundred-forged sword, but unfortunately your strength is not as good as mine!”

Wu Shuang saw that Hong Mu was also using the Hundred Forged Sword, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face at first, but then he snorted coldly, and suddenly exerted force with both hands, pushing Hong Mu’s body backwards.

His strength far exceeds Hong Mu’s, and this is his greatest advantage.

As long as Hong Mu is not allowed to retreat back into the Da Xia crowd, there will be no suspense in killing him. It is just a matter of time.

Hong Mu was forced to retreat again and again, and he was retreating towards the defeated crowd of Wu Shuang. Realizing the other party’s plan, regret instantly surged in his heart.

“After all, it’s a huge camp, there must be many experts inside, we shouldn’t charge so hard, now we’re done for!”

Whoosh……

An iron arrow hit him from behind. Hong Mu lowered his head to avoid it, but he caught a glimpse of more arrows flying towards him from the back, and his heart suddenly turned cold.

“Even if I lose, I still have to kill you guys to take the blame!”

Wu Shuang was confident of victory, with a sinister smile on his face. Taking advantage of Hong Mu’s despair and distraction, he suddenly pulled back his sword and chopped him down in the head.

boom…………

However, the expected scene did not happen as expected.

The man was kicked dozens of meters away, and his body crashed directly into the defeated crowd of Wu Shuang, making a loud crash and knocking away more than a dozen people.

With this kind of power, he is definitely going to die!
Hong Mu raised his eyes and saw a burly figure wearing golden iron armor standing in front of him. His eyes instantly burst into intense joy.

“Father, why are you here?”

The one who kicked the man away was actually his father Hong Gang.

Hong Mu turned his head and saw that several more figures had appeared on the battlefield. They were dressed similarly to his father, and they beat Wu Shuang’s already defeated army into pieces. The joy in his eyes became even more intense.

“Uncle Yong, Lord Zhu, Lord Lu…why are you all here?”

“Nonsense, it’s not us, how did you rush in so quickly?”

After Hong Gang finished answering, his face turned cold and he scolded: “You have a little strength but you don’t know your own weight. I asked you to come out and stay with the hunting team as much as possible. Look where you have rushed to?”

Upon hearing this, Hong Mu turned around and saw the group of Blue Wolf team members behind him, who were about fifty or sixty meters away. He immediately shrank his neck and chuckled twice.

“Father, I thought that this time, only Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan and Zhao Long were here. Now that you are all here, there will be no suspense in capturing Wu Shuang.”

“There was no suspense in the first place. The master mainly wanted to test your strength. Look over there, Wu Shuang, who is at the cold-resistance level, is about to die!”

Hong Mu looked in the direction his father was looking, and discovered that a cold-resistant-level battle was breaking out in the core area of ​​Wu Shuang’s base.

“Duan Pingyu, I want your life!”

“Peng Bo, you dare to collude with foreign forces and cause chaos in Pingxiyuan. I will report it to Lord Hou and ask him to punish you severely!”

“We’ll talk about whether you can survive today. I can’t take Wu Xiong and Han Jiuli’s lives for now, so I’ll take your life first to commemorate the soul of Yang Lu!”

Peng Bo’s roar was deafening, and the hatred contained in his voice was so strong that even Hong Mu, who was far away, couldn’t help but feel scared when he heard it.

“Si Cheng and the other adults didn’t do anything during the whole process?”

Seeing Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, Zhao Long and several other Cold-Resistant-level people around Wu Shuang, all standing still, and their eyes were basically fixed on the Digging Realm battlefield, Hong Mu could not help but be stunned.

“I’ve already said that we were just training your strength. I just watched for a while and you guys fought so badly. Lord Si Cheng didn’t look very happy. I guess we’re all going to be scolded!”

Hong Mu was stunned when he heard this. He looked at the few bodies of Daxia people on the ground and felt puzzled.

“How is it possible that you still need to be scolded even though you fought so well?”
