: Going the wrong path

There was silence in the house, with only Basang's voice. Everyone was listening quietly.

"I have no choice to kill those women. Even if they go to the capital, they will die, and they will die miserably. And more than that, now there are only 34 girls left in the orc kingdom. If these thirty women are sent to the capital, the consequences will be unimaginable, so I must stop them. And the only way to stop these women from going to the capital is to kill them, which is the only thing I can do. Therefore, you will be attacked so crazy on the road."

"What is their purpose in capturing the girls born during the Yin Moon and the Sun and the Sun?" Gongsun Yu couldn't help asking.

Basang said: "Of course we have to attack the Guardian Kingdom. Since we found that safe passage in the Daqing Mountains, the Orc Kingdom has always wanted to occupy the Guardian Kingdom. This is their wish for thousands of years. But for such a big thing, it must be agreed to by the Beast King."

"The highest existence in the orc kingdom is the beast king. Not only were werewolfs, golden silk archers and lion-headed men. All races will obey the beast king's call. But the beast king locked himself in a cave 80 years ago and went to seclusion to practice. It is said that at the entrance of the cave, the beast king set up a powerful barrier, and no one could break through the barrier and connect with the beast king. Because of this, there will be constant fighting in the orc king kingdom now. If the beast king is still there, such a thing would not have happened at all."

"Only the Beast King speaks can the war be launched?" Shang Xin couldn't help but say, "They can't break through the barrier set by the Beast King. Are these girls related to that barrier?"

Basang nodded, "Yes, after the Beast King was in seclusion, the original national master would take charge of everything in the orc kingdom. The national master said that the blood of 177 girls born in the yin month, yin day and yin time can break the barrier set by the Beast King. Now, 177 is only 34, if these 30 girls are sent to the capital, no one can stop them. When the Beast King comes out of seclusion, all orcs will bow their heads and obey the orders, and there will be disasters of destruction of the country when guarding the kingdom."

Basan said: "So, I can only kill these girls for our guardian kingdom!"

There was a silence in the room, everything finally came to light, but no one spoke again for a while.

"What should we do next?" Gongsun Yu couldn't help but say in the end.

Wuwei said: "There is only one way. We cannot let these women enter the capital. We must return as soon as possible to notify the king. We must do our best to protect the safety of the girls born in the Yin Moon and the Sun and the Sun. We cannot let the orcs catch one."

Shang Xin nodded, "Well, we will escort the girls away tomorrow."

"Ah?" Everyone looked at Shang Xin blankly. He just said that the girls could not be allowed to go to the capital. He immediately picked them up tomorrow and escorted them on the road. He didn't joke like this.

Shang Xin said: "Of course we have to escort it. We can't take them away now. Or kill them like Basan?"

"Don't." Gongsun Yu gave Basang a blank look and said, "Although this person is talking about the vast sky and looks like a saint who cares about the country and the people, I, Gongsun Yu, still look down on such people. No matter what, I can't attack my compatriots. Is this worthy of being called?"

When Gongsun Yu said this, Basang's face was blue and white, and he couldn't even say a word. That's right, even if he had a great reason, it was indeed not a glorious thing to kill so many innocent girls with his own hands. Not only Gongsun Yu, but everyone in the room looked at him with a look of disgust.

No one liked him, so Basang should have turned around and left. Few people could stand such an atmosphere. If he walked out now, there would never be any danger. Shang Xin and others would not stop him, nor would they tell the city lord. No matter what, they were all the people.

But Basan didn't move. He wanted to know the plans of Shang Xin and others. He must ensure that the girls could not reach the capital, otherwise he would not be at ease. If not, he would have to kill the girls, and even if he died, he would have to do it.

Shang Xin looked at Basang and understood what he meant. Since he was also a person who guarded the kingdom, there was no need to hide the next plan from him.

Therefore, Shang Xin said directly: "Tomorrow we pretend to know nothing, and take the girl away directly. When we wait for a safe place, we will kill the orcs escorted together, and then bypass the Fishbone City and take them back to the guardian kingdom."

Listening to Shang Xin's words, no one had any contact. Undoubtedly, this was a bold plan. It would never be an easy thing to take thirty girls through the orc kingdom to return to the guardian kingdom. However, there is no better way. They cannot leave these girls alone, so danger is inevitable.

Everyone discussed for a while, but there was no better way. Finally, they decided unanimously and did what the Shangxin said. Not wanting to take risks does not mean they are afraid.

When Basan left the house, he gave Shangxin a map and said, "You must pay attention to safety. You must not die here no matter what. At least one person must go back alive and report the seriousness of the matter to the guardian king."

...

At noon, five hundred miles outside the Fishbone City, in a valley.

Three carriages, five hundred lion-headed men.

Shangxin, etc.

Sitting in the carriage were thirty girls born in the yin month, the sun and the sun. Shang Xin, Ouyang Yiye and Gongsun Yu were in front of the team, Shangguan Wen, Shangguan Yuan, Shangguan Lie and Wuwei were at the end of the team.

The five hundred lion-headed men were sent by the lord Qiao Dun of Fishbone City to assist Shang Xin in escorting them. Among them, two lion-headed men reached the artistic conception. One led half of the soldiers in front of the carriage, and the other led half behind the carriage.

Shang Xin made a gesture, and the moving team suddenly stopped.

Shang Xin turned around, and his man suddenly disappeared from the spot. The next moment, he had appeared in front of a lion-headed man with his artistic conception, and his fingers had touched the other person's chest.

"Bright Moon!" With a low shout, a pink light suddenly appeared beside Shang Xin, and in the blink of an eye it merged into Shang Xin's body.

As soon as the figure shook, Shang Xin had arrived in front of another lion-headed man with artistic conception. At this time, there was a transparent sword in his hand, which quickly stabbed the lion-headed man's throat.

The artistic conception that Shang Xin said was, in the orcs, was the ninth-grade human body.

The lion-headed man reacted very quickly, and his body went to the side, and he actually dodged Shang Xin's sword. While he was hiding, a short golden rod appeared in his hand.

He didn't know what was going on, but his hand moved, and the golden short rod waved to Shang Xin with all his strength.

The power was used very much, but the speed was not fast. The lion-headed man was surprised to find that the stick in his hand seemed to be under control and could not exert the power it should have. Before he could figure out the reason, Shang Xin, who was standing opposite him, stabbed the sword in his hand again.

In the eyes of the lion-headed man, the sword was very slow, just like his stick. But Shang Xin avoided his stick, but he couldn't dodge the other party's sword. He had already made dodging moves, but the transparent sword magically penetrated his throat.

Then a ball of flames ignited, burning the lion-headed man's body clean.

But just when Shangxin made the team stop moving forward, the people who moved were not just Shangxin.

Gongsun Yu, who was standing with him, suddenly turned around the moment Shang Xin disappeared, and waved the sword in his hand towards the lion-headed team. At this time, Ouyang Yiye's hand had also been waved, and a blue light shrouded at Gongsun Yu. His hand waved again, and another blue light shrouded at the three carriages. Then, countless ice cones appeared in the air and shot wildly into the lion-headed people.

At this time, Shangguan Wen, Shangguan Yuan and Shangguan Lie at the end of the team also waved the sword in their hands.

"Let's fight! All!" Undoubtedly, this was the voice of Wuwei. Although he pronounced five words before taking action, it was not slower than Shangguan Wen beside him.

And these are not all attacks.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the three carriages in the middle of the team suddenly exploded, and countless fragments flew everywhere. As the fragments flew, countless spiritual energy went to the lion-headed men around.

All this came too suddenly. Although the lion-headed man was stronger than the werewolf, he was unprepared and faced with such a fierce attack, countless casualties were killed or injured in an instant.

The remaining lion-headed men had no time to react, and the second wave of attacks arrived again.

Another large number of lion-headed men fell down. At this time, the five hundred lion-headed men also suffered at least 300 casualties, more than half.

Even so, they didn't know what happened, and they were still stunned.

What awaits them is naturally the third wave of attacks...

From the time the team stopped to the present, in just a blink of an eye, there were only a few dozen lion-headed men who could stand in the valley.

At this time, the dozens of lion-headed men finally reacted and quickly ran away. But it was too late. How could they escape their lives in front of Shang Xin and other powerful people with artistic conception?

The farthest lion-headed man ran away only a few hundred meters before being caught up by Gongsun Yu and slashed in half with a sword.

"Let's go!" Shang Xin said only one word, and everyone gathered together, silently following Shang Xin over the mountains beside him, and headed in another direction. This was not the direction to the capital, nor the direction to return to Yugu City. They were walking on another road.

No one spoke all the way until it was dark that everyone stopped. Shang Xin took out a map from his arms and looked carefully. This was the one that Basang gave him last night.

"Are we in the right place?" Wuwei asked.

Shang Xin did not answer, and after reading for a while, he solemnly said, "I don't understand a little, so you should take a look." As he said that, Shang Xin handed the map to Wuwei beside him.

"Damn!" Gongsun Yu grinned, "I can't understand what you are pretending to be doing there."

Wuwei took the map and saw that there were mountains and ridges above, and a red line marked a route. It can be seen that this road is very difficult to walk on. The red line avoided all the roads and passed through the mountains.

Wuwei also looked at the terrain carefully after a while. Finally, he said angrily: "Shang Xin, you have led the wrong way, and now we are 200 miles away."
