Exorcism

Shen Shang hummed a little tune he heard from somewhere, walked into the cave, and woke up Fu Luke, who was still sleeping, "Get up, get up, kill the Bing Kui to protect the Bing City, block the demon vanguard, look at you and me... Who can give Shall I say a few more words?”

The Talisman Guests walked out of their respective caves sleepily and found that the genius was bright, so they all covered their mouths and yawned. One of the Talisman Guys grabbed Shen Shang's arm, "Why did you wake us up so early? Maybe this will be our last sleep. , I will blame you if I don’t sleep well.

From appearance to personality, Shen Shang has never been a majestic person, and he and Fu Luke have no distinction between superior and inferior. They speak without taboos. He laughed and said: "Even if you are going to die today, you should get up and see the last sunrise. Why?" What about wasting it on sleeping?”

"Can you please stop mentioning the word "death"? I was just dreaming about killing a deer for meat. I really don't want to be slaughtered at noon today." Another Fu Luke said.

Shen Shang's joy did not diminish at all, "The more afraid of death, the more it bullies you. If you despise it, you can trample it under your feet. Bingkui is not omnipotent. He wants us to be afraid, so we have to laugh. , He wants to make us depressed, so we have to be high-spirited, he wants to freeze us all into popsicles, so we have to...have to..."

Shen Shang couldn't think of anything to say, and the Fu Luke guests really "laughed" and ridiculed him.

"It's steaming hot!" Shen Shang shouted amidst laughter, "We must be steaming! Take out yesterday's leftover meat and the last bit of wine to warm up your body!"

The demon camps were very close to each other, and the laughter of Shen Shang and Fu Luke quickly woke up the surrounding demon clan. They all came out of the cave and yelled angrily, asking who was so hateful.

After a few fights, the demon clan's anger was almost vented, so they lit a fire to heat up the rice and roasted the last bit of meat. Those who had wine drank, and those who didn't had a few handfuls of snow to moisten their throats.

The atmosphere gradually became cheerful, as if the decisive battle in two or three hours was extremely simple, and victory could be won with just a few roars.

Shen Shang can be seen everywhere. He yells at each other in a language that no one understands with the rough beast demon, makes jokes with the frightened half-demon, and even teases the strong banshee, "You have rouge on your face? Yes?" Do you want to find a new father for the little demon?”

All the demons hated him and drove him away, and all the demons also liked him. After he passed by, a smile appeared on their faces.

Jin Cu was not awakened. He didn't sleep at all. He spent the whole night thinking about today's decisive battle at noon. He walked out of the cave, breathed in the cold fresh air, and listened to the rude screams of the monsters, and his mind gradually calmed down.

Shen Shang ran over, bowed deeply to Jin Cui like a clown, and then said in an exaggerated tone: "Food King, please have a meal, Rice King, please eat more, maybe people will call you 'Big Rice King' in the future."

Jin Cu was grateful for the cheerful atmosphere brought by Shen Shang, which was exactly the powerful weapon the demon army needed, but there was no smile on his face at all, "You said a reinforcement would arrive today, why didn't I see it? "

Shen Shang restrained himself a little and walked up to Jin Cu, "Didn't I tell you? This news was told to me by a bird that flew to me while I was hunting. He also said that Mr. Yishi has not forgotten the demon clan in Bingcheng. Do you believe in a bird? Do you believe in Mr. Yishi? I can't guarantee anything. I prefer to believe that Mu Xingqiu has found the leader of Bingkui and eliminated him."

Mu Xingqiu left the afternoon before yesterday and there has been no news so far. This is the most important reason why Jin Cuo can't sleep. "He said that he was looking for the missing little demon and had nothing to do with the leader of Bingkui."

"Haha, maybe there will be a miracle. We need this the most now." Shen Shang is more optimistic than the beast demon who has drunk a jar of old wine. "Mu Xingqiu will turn into a volcano and fall from the sky, roasting all Bingkui. I Not surprising either.”

Jin Cu helplessly shook his head. He was not optimistic at all. When he thought about how many demon clans would die in today's decisive battle, he felt heartbroken.

He grabbed the heavy hammer placed at the door and said seriously: "We will set off to the battlefield in half an hour. We must occupy a favorable position."

The demon clan's camp had been moved to Langyuan last night, very close to the scheduled battlefield. Half an hour later, the sun has risen high, the demons are out, the fire is burning and dying, the leftovers are thrown aside, the door of the cave is open at will, there is nothing to clean up, everyone knows that this battle will lead to a narrow escape. .

The demons gathered on a gently sloping circular highland and formed a tight formation. They did not intend to charge, but just wanted to defend their position.

Not far to the north is the place where Bingkui left his note of war. Snow covered everything, but all the monsters knew that the broken body was still there. The cheerful atmosphere stirred up by Shen Shang gradually disappeared, but the curse could no longer affect this group of monsters. They had few armors and insufficient weapons. Nearly half of the monsters held wooden sticks in their hands, but they still stayed to fight against the powerful monsters.

"Hey, the messenger is back!" shouted the demon soldier responsible for watching.

A group of monsters came running from the direction of Bingcheng, about four to five hundred of them. A few days ago, dozens of messengers went to various places to look for reinforcements. They began to return one after another in the evening and night. They brought back very few reinforcements. The time was too short. , there are not that many tribes around Bingcheng, and there are some occasionally found, and there are not many demons willing to come to participate in a battle with slim hope.

In comparison, being able to have hundreds of monsters come today is already quite an achievement.

The demons on the highlands roared to welcome the reinforcements. This group of demons was a group of adventurers. They wanted to join the demon army in the south. As a result, the giant demon king Qi Wushang died, so they have been wandering in the land of demons. I heard that there are The battle came and the messenger cleverly did not reveal that the other party was the legendary Bing Kui.

Jin Cu placed the reinforcements in the middle so that they couldn't run away even if they wanted to. Jin Cu stood in the first row, surrounded by the strongest beast monsters on his left and right. He turned to Shen Shang behind him and said, "Mr. Yishi is really generous, sending such a group of reinforcements."

"Haha, even the rice king would be sarcastic. It seems that today's battle is still possible to win." Shen Shang said with a smile. He asked Fu Luke to stand in the middle, but he stayed behind Jin Cu. Since he could not cast spells, his It's of little use, and he's so short that he can't even see what's going on around him.

A tall beast monster next to him lifted Shen Shang onto his shoulder without saying a word.

It took a lot of time to arrange the formation. It was not long before noon. The missing little demon did not appear. Mu Xingqiu, Bald Man and Flea were still missing. Especially the "demon master" Mu Xingqiu, who was in the first battle. His heroic performance gave the demons great confidence, and his disappearance aroused many suspicions.

But no one mentioned him. Jin Cu was prepared for the worst in advance. He had already told the demons that the demon master would take the little demons to a safe place and train them all to become demon masters. future, so the demon master may not be able to catch up with this decisive battle...

The worst result still happened. Jin Cu knew that Mu Xingqiu would not miss the battle without any reason. Failure to arrive on time would be a disaster.

Before the battle even started, Jin Cu gave up her last glimmer of hope for Mu Xingqiu and just wanted to devote herself wholeheartedly to the upcoming decisive battle.

The seeds of the Nebula Tree are so small that most monsters cannot see them floating in the air with snowflakes. But when blue lights rise from the snow hundreds of steps away in the north, all the monsters see them.

"One, two..." At first there was a sound of counting, but soon the sounds disappeared.

The blue light is connected into one piece, and it is impossible to calculate.

The demons guard their positions, and no matter what, they must stay together and never disperse.

The blue light began to absorb the surrounding snow, revealing human figures. It was possible to count again, but no demon spoke.

There were not dozens of ice kings, but two or three thousand, all very tall, so they seemed to be more numerous than the nearly 10,000 monsters huddled together. They stood apart and gradually surrounded the monsters.

The newly arrived reinforcements screamed. They were also brave monsters, but they were not brave enough to face Bing Kui directly.

Bing Kui was still taking shape, Jin Cu said: "The time has come."

The beast monsters on both sides reached out and lifted Rice King high.

Jin Cuo turned around and faced the demons, holding a heavy hammer in his right hand and holding three statues of gods in his left hand. He had already made several impassioned speeches, but this time he just wanted to say a few simple words, "The ancient gods bless my demon clan: don't ask for eternal life." , just want a fight.”

"I don't seek eternal life, I just seek a fight!" All the demons echoed in unison, overpowering the screams of the newly arrived demons. Several new demons who wanted to escape were knocked unconscious.

"I don't seek eternal life, I just seek a battle." Shen Shang held his Ruyi as if it was the sharpest sword in the world.

Standing on the shoulders of the beast monster, Shen Shang could see further, so he was the first to discover the new situation, "Look, the reinforcements promised by Lord Yishi have arrived!"

The monsters stretched their necks to watch, and sure enough, a group of cavalry came from the northwest, with a total of three to four thousand, with a variety of mounts, including some powerful beasts.

No demon clan knew the origin of this cavalry, but this did not affect their excitement at all, and they roared together.

Bingkui has already taken shape and is slowly walking towards the monsters on the high ground. He is indifferent to the cavalry in the northwest. They don't know how to adapt and will only fight according to the established plan.

The decisive battle looks a little more promising. The monsters on the highlands are holding on, and the cavalry on the periphery are charging, and they may be able to eliminate Bingkui.

However, this hope only lasted for a pitifully short time. Before the cheers of the demons ended, the cavalry from the northwest actually turned around and fled.

This group of monsters with powerful mounts had never experienced the first battle, nor had they heard Jin Cu’s encouragement. As soon as they saw how powerful the enemy was, they suddenly lost their fighting spirit. They didn’t even stay to watch the battle, and they didn’t even look back. Escape the same way you came.

"Today's glory belongs only to you." Shen Shang said loudly, not caring about the reinforcements coming and fleeing. "Heroes save cowards. This has been the case since ancient times. Don't blame those deserters. We also fled all the way and turned to face the ice. It’s not easy, we did it, only we did it!”

The roars started again, tragedy, anger, hope, disappointment, fear... everything was vented in the roars, dispersed in the air, and merged with the falling snow, leaving only fighting spirit in the bodies of the monsters.

Jin Cu jumped to the ground, holding the heavy hammer with both hands, and Shen Shang's relaxed voice came from above his head: "After talking so much, I can finally do something."

Jin Cuo raised his heavy hammer and agreed very much with Shen Shang's words. He was ready, but suddenly thought of the Spirit King who was unknown where he was. He felt guilty because he could not bring Mu Xingqiu back to see her. He didn't even have time to express how deep and unique the Spirit King's love for him was.

Bingkui, who was approaching step by step, began to wave his swords.
