Chapter 194 [Immortal Residence] (Part 2)
Everyone picked up their weapons. Three minutes after Tan Zicong ordered, a fire-out zone of about one meter long appeared in the northwest of the fire circle. After the flames were extinguished, a cow immediately rushed into the circle. Bullets shot at the bull's head, and the cow was shot into a honeycomb after it entered the circle.
One end fell and the other end rushed in, the defender kept firing, but the range of the fire-out zone was rapidly expanding.
Luo Lie suddenly walked eastward, and the fire was relatively strong, but Luo Lie heard the sound of horse hooves coming quickly towards this side. Yan Tianxin picked up the submachine gun and followed Luo Lie for a short distance to facilitate cover.
Luo Lie stopped about three meters away from the fire wall, and the sound of horse hooves also stopped. Luo Lie slowly pulled out the Taidao from his waist. Suddenly, a black shadow fell into the fire wall ahead, but there was a dead cow. The cow's corpse extinguished the flames.
Luo Lie saw more than a dozen masked knights with black helmets and black armored outside the fire circle were galloping towards the gap. Not only were these knights fully armed, but even the mounts under their crotch were wearing armor. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, Luo Lie would never believe that such a heavy armored cavalry team would appear in front of them.
Yan Tianxin took the lead in firing, the submachine gun sprayed out an angry tongue of flames, and the bullets shot towards the cavalry. The target was concentrated below, and the shooting of people and horses was first shot. This is the easiest truth for a warrior who has been through the battlefield.
Many bullets hit the cavalry mounts, but most of them were blocked by heavy armor.
More than a dozen knights immediately scattered. They took out crossbow arrows from their waists, and their feather arrows were like locusts and shot at Yan Tianxin.
Luo Lie waved the Tai Knife in his hand and turned into a large fog of light in front of him, protecting his and Yan Tianxin's bodies. The crossbow arrows hit the light shield formed by the Tai Knife, and many crossbow arrows shot at the bandits who were defending the gap. Amid the screams, many people had already fallen to the ground.
The fire was rapidly disappearing, and more and more cattle and sheep rushed in from the gap. The heavy armored knights rode their horses over the fire ring that was about to be extinguished and entered the core area of their defense.
Luo Lie calmly looked at a masked knight who was heading straight for him. Before the other party approached him, he rolled sideways and dodged, and then cut out with one knife, cutting off the right front leg of the opponent's mount with knees. After the horse broke his leg, it did not make a loud noise. It fell to the ground with a thud. The horse immediately jumped off the horse's back, pulled out a heavy sword from behind, took a step forward, and held the sword in both hands and slashed towards Luo Lie's head.
Yan Tianxin was worried that Luo Lie would make a mistake, so he raised his gun and aimed at the warrior's face and shot one after another. The bullets shot into the opponent's equipment, making the sparks pop up, and the opponent retreated continuously, but no bullet could shoot the mask on his face.
Another warrior came to reinforce and swept the meteor hammer across Yan Tianxin's head. Yan Tianxin looked up and avoided the opponent's fatal blow.
At this time, most of the flames around had been extinguished, and the barrier they depended on was about to disappear. Tan Tiande raised his gun and shot a sheep who intended to attack him, and prayed in his heart, "God, just open your eyes."
Perhaps his prayers finally worked, and a red sun slowly revealed some true appearance between the eastern world.
The sun shone through the morning and dusk, and the heavily armored knights retreated first, and the cattle and sheep also began to stop attacking, but these cattle and sheep obviously didn't know where to go, and they stood there one by one. Tan Zicong, who was still in shock, shouted: "Kill these beasts, no one can be left, no other can be left!"
Luo Lie did not stop the crazy killing that happened in front of him, because these cattle and sheep may have been infected with the virus. If these cattle and sheep are allowed to wander around, they will only transmit the virus to more creatures.
Yan Tianxin looked at everything around her pale face, and she said to Luo Lie: "We must find her as soon as possible."
Luo Lie came to the war horse whose front hooves were cut off by him. The war horse held its head high and tried to stand up from the ground.
Tan Tiande walked over at this time, aimed at the blood-red eyes of the war horse and fired two consecutive shots. The war horse's high head fell heavily to the ground.
Luo Lie checked the bridle and outer armor of the war horse, and from the inscription above, he had already determined that the words were Xixia text.
Tan Tiande said in a trembling voice: "Chiefs of Heavenly Temple, they are all Tianming Knights!"
Luo Lie looked at Tan Tiande with some confusion. In his opinion, these knights were more like Western Xia warriors in history. Such inferences can be made from the inscriptions on the armor of the war horses, but he didn't know what the source of Tan Tiande's Tian Temple knights was? Yan Tianxin thought of their original purpose because of the knights of Tian Temple. He traveled thousands of miles to escort Princess Longyu's body to the Tian Temple!
More than a thousand cattle and sheep that had lost resistance were quickly killed by Tan Zicong and his subordinates, and the ground was covered with black blood, and the scene was terrible.
Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin stayed away from the massacre site. Yan Tianxin bit her cherry lips and said, "Those knights reminded me of my grandfather."
Luo Lie nodded. When he was fighting with those knights just now, he also thought of this. The Jurchen warriors led by Yan Kuohai protected the Nine Netherworld secret realm and protected the secrets they passed down from generation to generation. During the long process of guarding the tomb, they gradually lost their nature due to the influence of the environment. However, Pale Mountain and Xinman City are thousands of miles apart, and there should be no connection between these warriors. If there is a connection, there is only Princess Dragon Jade. Could such a guardian warrior appear where Princess Dragon Jade appears?
Yan Tianxin said, "I know you don't believe it, but I dare to conclude that all this is related to Princess Longyu."
Luo Liedao: "Maybe you can figure out the real problem by finding Zhuo."
When the sun rose, the gunshots finally subsided. After experiencing this terrifying battle, Tan Tiande had only more than 70 subordinates left. Most of their vehicles were abandoned, and most of the ammunition was consumed. Tan Tiande was originally planning to go to Laoyingpan to annihilate the infected people there, but before he got close to Laoyingpan, he had already lost his troops and generals. Now he has to reconsider their choice. If he insists on continuing to go to Laoyingpan, they may have greater damage.
Tan Zicong's idea of getting out of the matter became stronger and more determined. He finally escaped, and the fool would take the initiative to seek death. After seeing the opportunity, he began to advise the old man again.
In fact, even if his son didn't say it, Tan Tiande understood his thoughts. He came to Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin alone. Tan Tiande never regarded himself as a hero, but he was not afraid of death in his bones. The thing of retreating in the middle has never happened in his memory, so this farewell was particularly difficult to say.
Luo Lie never likes to make things difficult for others. Although Tan Tiande is not a good person, he can also be called brave and resourceful. He dared to cooperate with himself. He had decided to go to Laoyingpan to eliminate the infected people entrenched there. It was reality that made him lose confidence. Tan Tiande was not fearless. His biggest weakness was his son Tan Zicong.
Tan Tiande said: "I'm afraid I'm powerless." No matter how high-sounding he said, it would not be able to make up for the fact that he retreated in the last moment. Tan Tiande couldn't help but feel a fever in his face.
Luo Lie said: "It's good to have the will."
Tan Tiande discovered that Luo Lie was an understanding young man. Such a young man could easily make people feel good and trustworthy. Tan Tiande hugged and said, "See you again in the future." He turned around and wanted to leave.
Luo Lie said: "Old man, stay, what is the Knight of the Heavenly Temple you just mentioned?"
Tan Tiande turned around and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Those knights, I... I've seen them more than ten years ago."
Yan Tianxin said in surprise: "More than ten years ago?"
Tan Tiande said: "It happened about sixteen years ago. It's a long story. At that time, the military targeted us and sent troops to clear us out many times, causing us to suffer heavy losses. We had to hide at the foot of Helan Mountain. After passing through the Xixia Royal Tomb, we found a collapsed cave. Due to the situation, I decided to enter the cave and hide for a while, but we had not walked into it for too long before we encountered a group of mysterious iron armored knights..."
Tan Tiande stopped here, but Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin already understood that the iron armor he mentioned was actually the same as they met before.
Tan Tiande obviously didn't want to recall the past that brought him fear, and shook his head vigorously and said, "I won't say it."
Luo Liedao: "Why did Mr. Tan call them the Knights of the Heavenly Temple? Didn't you meet them in the King's Tomb of Xixia?"
Tan Tiandedao: "It was because they said that we broke into the forbidden area of Tianmiao, so we called them the Knights of Tianmiao."
Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin were overjoyed when they heard this. Unexpectedly, they actually got the location of the Tian Temple from Tan Tiande. According to Zhuo Yishou's previous statement, he wanted to send Princess Longyu's body to the Tian Temple. In other words, as long as they go to the Tian Temple, they may find Zhuo Yishou. The person who tied the bell must solve this problem. In the end, they have to start with Zhuo Yishou.
Luo Lie said: "Mr. Tan, I have a heartless request."
Tan Tiande was so worldly. From Luo Lie's words, he could guess what he wanted to ask for, and sighed and said, "I'm old, and..." He looked at the terrified subordinates. After experiencing the life-and-death battle last night, these subordinates were scared out of their courage. His son alone could not suppress the scene. Tan Tiande did not feel sorry for his subordinates, but was worried about his son. He had to take his youngest son out of danger.
Tan Tiandedao: "Although I can't go, I can draw a map for you."
Luo Lie never forced others to do anything. Hearing that Tan Tiande was willing to draw a map, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tan."
