Chapter 273 Amethyst Frenzy 5
Seeing a silk thread hanging down towards him from the horizon, he felt a desire in his body, as if he wanted to merge with it. He knew that he could not resist the power from the shadow, and he would become a part of the amethyst. His sanity was about to collapse, but he looked at his brothers who had been through life and death with him, so he chose to open the last way for them before he was assimilated.
"go!"
After saying this, he twisted half of his body directly from the crystal in his lower body, and relying on his tenacious vitality in the Hedao period, he picked up Sieg and flew in another direction. The other people made prompt decisions and immediately fled into the distance.
They didn't know how long they had been flying. They just felt the meridians in their bodies constantly stinging their nerves due to the depletion of spiritual energy. Several of them could already see the outline of the city wall in the distance. They took out a flare and sent it out. Then they changed direction and found a cave to hide in.
They had cleaned the amethyst off their bodies when they escaped, but no one noticed that there was amethyst powder attached to the soles of their shoes.
"Old Third, is that guy chasing us?"
"No, the fourth brother's skills are special. Even if Sieg doesn't die, he will be seriously injured. But before he blew himself up, he seemed to have said that Sieg is not Sieg?"
Li Xiang compared the Sieg they saw with the one in his memory and said, "Old Four's meaning should be that Sieg is no longer the Sieg we know. Didn't you notice that he is already the same as the monster transformed by purple crystal? He should have been possessed by the body. Damn, what a vicious plan. In today's world, the entire dynasty regards purple crystal as a supreme treasure, especially those famous families who have an astonishing number of collections.
If something unexpected happens and causes all these purple crystals to explode, I am afraid that all the princes and nobles will suffer heavy casualties. At that time, our Longyuan Dynasty will inevitably cause unprecedented turmoil. The Emperor must have had an accident, otherwise he should have appeared when we used the tiger talisman!"
While they were talking, they heard the footsteps of a large number of troops nearby. They immediately came out of the cave and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the familiar military uniforms. The generals who came out for inspection saw that they were the front-line commanders who had lost contact, and immediately sent a signal again. They were also undecided and could only notify the high-level officials in the city to make the decision.
He first used simple medicine to heal Li Xiang and the others. A moment later, the city lord arrived with two priests in the Hedao period. When Li Xiang saw the city lord, he immediately showed the tiger talisman in his hand, "City lord, there is a problem with the purple crystal. All the soldiers on the front line have been killed. Commander Jiang Xuan has died in battle. Please order the main city to destroy all the purple crystals and send another great priest to suppress the front line!"
At this time, the city lord also looked embarrassed: "Military Advisor, I don't know, please follow me back to the city first. The main city is in chaos now. For some reason, the Emperor has absorbed a lot of the dynasty's national fortune, causing the dynasty's barrier to be unstable. All places are on high alert. Where can we borrow troops now!"
"What should we do? This purple crystal is of great importance. Please inform us first!"
When the city lord heard this, his expression became even uglier. Li Xiang immediately became anxious: "If you have anything to say, just speak directly. Don't hesitate. There is an undead monster hiding in the purple crystal. If we don't report it in time, we will have more than ten heads to chop off!"
The city lord gritted his teeth and said, "It's not that we don't want to report it, but..."
"What is it? Tell me now!"
“Military advisor, don’t worry. When you lost contact, we sent out no less than ten groups of spies, but none of them survived. Later, we sent a large number of city defense troops to search for you. We also encountered the undead monsters that the military advisor mentioned, and captured dozens of them. However, they seemed to be afraid of the dynasty’s fortune. Once they entered the city, they lost their activity and turned into human sculptures. That’s why we have kept the barrier open, so the city should be safe for the time being.
I reported this to the imperial capital at the time, but no monsters appeared in the dynasty. Yesterday, a priest came to assist in the investigation, but as you know, the emperor swallowed a lot of luck, which has made the barriers in various places unstable and it is impossible to mobilize troops. The priest just took a look and thought that the purple crystal would not harm the dynasty, and then took the sample that was turned into a sculpture back, and there has been no news since then. "
When Li Xiang heard this, he immediately knew the nature of the nobles in the city. The worshiper was not concerned about investigating the purple crystal, but the human figurines transformed from the purple crystal. These human figurines were naturally formed. The purple crystal was originally used by the nobles to collect profits. They believed that as long as the emperor was still there, everything could be settled. So these human figurines were brought back just to hype up a high price.
As for those nobles, Li Xiang knew that he was powerless and now their commander was dead, they had offended many people. The emperor didn't know what had happened yet. In addition, the words the fourth brother said when he died made him smell something bad. At this time, the city lord refused to send troops to encircle and suppress those purple crystal monsters. It seemed that he also gained a lot from it.
As a military advisor, Li Xiang has always been very accurate in his guesses of people's hearts. He knows that the Longyuan Dynasty may not be able to accommodate him. They used to rely on their coach Jiang Xuan and the army in front, but at this moment the news of Jiang Xuan's death has not yet spread. As the saying goes, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. As Jiang Xuan's military advisor, he has offended many people in the past. Now, while the news has not spread on a large scale, it is time to find a way out for himself.
Although everything is normal in the city now, he always has a bad feeling. He was busy escaping before. Now think about it, wasn't it too easy for them to escape death before? How powerful could the self-explosion of the fourth brother be in that state? Sieg would definitely not be dragged down for so long.
Then, Siegrang must have other purposes in letting him and the others go. Then he remembered that the city lord had said that as long as there was a barrier, these purple crystal dolls would not survive. Then he saw that the city lord was ready to open the barrier of the city defense. Li Xiang immediately shouted: "No!"
But it was too late when he shouted. At the moment the city defense barrier was opened, a strong wind suddenly blew up behind everyone, and then a large amount of white powder suddenly blew into the city.
"Military Advisor Li, what did you just say? Strange, where did the sandstorm come from?"
Li Xiang's eyes were fixed on the white powder sweeping over, his heart was filled with vigilance and uneasiness. When he witnessed the white powder being swept into the city and the purple crystals forming on the wall, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Then he rushed into the city without hesitation. When he turned around again, a white-purple sandstorm hundreds of meters high had surged outside the city wall. At this moment, it was like a huge wall, covering the sky and the sun and rushing towards them.
"City Lord, quickly open the barrier!"
