MTL - Return of the Dead [Holo]-Chapter 176
For Xue Changfeng, in the past forty-three days, every day was a nightmare of burning hell. He couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, and he even felt that even breathing became a sin.
For a long time, Xue Changfeng knew that he was a very emotional person. The most typical evidence was his indecision and obsession when Bai Wei betrayed the whole dead man, even though in the end he chose the dead man and overcame his original fragility. However, he always knew that the one who gave him this power was never himself, but Mo Ran.
It was precisely because she was standing behind him, even if she didn't have to say or do anything, just standing here, Xue Changfeng suddenly felt endless power filling his whole body.
It is precisely because of this power that has supported him to the present. In front of all the dead, or in front of all other races, he seems to be the supreme commander of the dead. He arranges the future of the dead. The dead are responsible, but only Xue Changfeng knows that all his confidence to face these comes from Mo Ran.
The dead person who looked thin and small, and didn't even know where to go in two or three days, as long as she was there, as long as he could say a word to her every day, even if Mo Ran didn't reply, he would still feel his own death. Life is full of steadfastness and hope. Her small body contains enormous energy that can overwhelm mountains and seas, and it is also a firm and powerful backer for him.
Xue Changfeng never thought that one day Mo Ran would disappear from his life. He never thought about such a possibility. He even thought that Mo Ran was a cat demon, and she had nine or more lives. Even if he dies one day, Mo Ran will definitely survive.
This kind of thinking is so firm and indestructible, but since forty-three days ago, since Mo Ran was captured by humans not far from his eyes, Xue Changfeng felt that his belief had completely collapsed.
He suddenly felt that he was like a flat boat sailing in the vast ocean. Without the powerful coastline of Mo Ran, he would have no possibility of docking at all. It would be great if, if he was closer that day, if he was always by Mo Ran's side that day, if he was the one who was taken away that day.
Such self-blame threw Xue Changfeng into a mouthful called despair.
Xue Changfeng's rationality told himself that this was impossible. After losing Mo Ran, the dead needed him more, and someone needed to stand up. However, he couldn't do it. He indulged in this despair and self-blame all day long. Unable to extricate himself, he even refused to go to King's Landing City after arriving at Cold Wind Fortress. He punished himself in a way that was almost masochistic, punishing himself as an incompetent city lord made the entire race lose its god.
On the sixteenth day after Mo Ran was captured by humans, two people came to Cold Wind Fortress.
They wore thick cloaks, and under the guidance of the guards, they walked quickly to the main hall of the cold wind fortress.
The burning charcoal fire in the hall made the whole hall exude an extremely dry heat. This kind of heat is not needed by the dead. As soon as Li Linlang entered the hall, she was almost fainted by the heat. She Immediately took off the cloak on his body and threw it to the guard on the side.
Looking up, I saw Xue Changfeng sitting on the seat of the city lord. He was leaning against the seat, like a bereaved dog who had lost his spine. In just over ten days, he was so thin that he lost his human shape. Li Linlang even felt that If he came two days later, he could collect Xue Changfeng's body directly.
She tugged at the long skirt on her body, and quickly walked towards the high throne of the city lord. Zhang Xiaofei followed Li Linlang and finally stopped at the bottom of the steps of the throne, not daring to step forward.
He bowed his head in a very humble and respectful manner.
However, at the next moment, he heard a crisp sound.
When Xue Changfeng heard someone coming up, he seemed to have become conscious. He raised his head and looked at the person coming, his eyes were full of hope, but when he saw the person coming, all the light in his eyes disappeared suddenly.
Leaning weakly on the back of the chair again, Xue Changfeng didn't even bother to say hello, didn't even raise his eyelids, and lazily moaned twice as respect for the visitor.
"You came…"
The visitor was already standing in front of him, she didn't speak, she didn't even respond to Xue Changfeng's greetings, she just raised her hand and slapped Xue Changfeng fiercely on the face.
"Crack!" An extremely crisp sound echoed in the hall, and all the guards and waiters in the hall subconsciously raised their heads to look in the direction of the crisp sound at this moment, but then
Xue Changfeng only felt his ears buzzing. He raised his head to look at Li Linlang in disbelief, but what followed was another loud slap.
After hitting six or seven times in a row, Xue Changfeng finally stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Linlang's wrist, with fire burning in his eyes: "What are you doing?"
"I want to ask you what you are doing? How long are you going to pretend to be dead here? Did you just throw the dead in Junlin City? Did you ignore the rest of the matter? You are not good at the aftermath of Tiandu City Is it? You just stay here like a dead dog. I really don’t know what Mo Ran saw in you at that time, and pushed you to be the lord of the city. You touch your chest and ask, are you worthy? ?" Li Linlang only felt that his anger was rising, and he wished he could throw Xue Changfeng on the ground and stomp on it.
"what do you know…"
"Why don't I know, didn't you just see Mo Ran being taken away from you, and then you couldn't get in touch, so you started to pretend to be dead, why are you so hypocritical, so fragile? Are you a man? If you encounter this kind of thing, don’t hurry up and think of a way, you are pretending to be dead here... I think you really want to die!"
"You don't know, Mo Ran her..."
Li Linlang didn't give Xue Changfeng a chance to speak at all, and he just sprayed back: "I don't know what? Do you think Mo Ran is dead? Don't you?"
"Isn't there?"
"Even if Mo Ran dies, won't you be alive? The dead will be with you like this half-dead? Do you think that Mo Ran has worked so hard for so many years just to see you bring the whole dead to her for burial? She is just a part of the dead. !"
"She's not! She's definitely not!"
Li Linlang looked at Xue Changfeng, who immediately felt as if he had been slapped with chicken blood, and quickly waved his hands. He didn't want to argue with him about this completely meaningless question. What Xue Changfeng thought was not important, what was important was that he had to stand up and lead the dead to meet him. The things that came down, this is the purpose of her coming today, not to argue with Xue Changfeng about right and wrong, or to cherish the memory of spring flowers and autumn moons here.
Probably because Li Linlang studied science and engineering, she doesn't even have any extra romantic cells in her bones, let alone such a rich expression of emotion. In her eyes, Xue Changfeng is just a hypocrite, and he just doesn't know the severity. , peace
"Okay, don't tell me these things. I came today to bring someone to find you." Li Linlang gave Xue Changfeng another look with disgust, then turned to look at Zhang Xiaofei and nodded to him.
Until this time, Zhang Xiaofei, who had been standing at the bottom of the stairs with his head lowered, quickly took a step forward, and saluted Xue Changfeng respectfully, "My lord."
Xue Changfeng turned his eyes to Zhang Xiaofei, and found that it was a human being, and it was a human with an ordinary face. After becoming a dead person for too long, Xue Changfeng now has a kind of face blindness when he sees human beings. It felt like he stared at this person for a long time without remembering who this person was. If he wasn't wearing the clothes of a temple priest, he almost thought it was a human being that Li Linlang got from somewhere to provoke him. annoying.
"Who are you…"
Zhang Xiaofei was still very discerning. He quickly explained his identity to Xue Changfeng. After he revealed that he was the priest Mo Ran arranged to serve in her temple, Xue Changfeng finally pulled out the identity of this person from his distant memories. , this Zhang Xiaofei should be the last three people left after slaughtering the Netherworld Guild, Mo Ran randomly picked a human who was not killed and brought back.
Looking at Zhang Xiaofei, I felt a sense of trance. I didn't expect that it would take so long in a blink of an eye, and what I didn't expect was that Mo Ran hadn't killed this human being in so many years. Yes, she even made this human being her inner temple priest, which is equivalent to putting herself completely under the eyes of human beings...
But after thinking about it, on him, he would definitely not do such a thing, but this is exactly what Mo Ran would do, she always likes to do those dangerous things.
"What are you going to do today?" Xue Changfeng fell into self-blame for losing Mo Ran, which made him lose interest in anything, but it didn't mean he became stupid. When he thought of Zhang Xiaofei After learning his identity, Xue Changfeng basically understood his purpose of coming here.
Although Xue Changfeng didn't remember who Zhang Xiaofei was.
There is also a special kind of human, they can keep the game launcher, but they will be closely monitored, and their every word and deed will be controlled, and this kind of human is very rare. In Xue Changfeng's memory, there is only Wang Lin. , and Wang Lin has become an NPC of the dead family, so he is not afraid of his betrayal, but Zhang Xiaofei in front of him does not seem to belong to any of them, but he has a game launcher in his hand.
Then there is only the last type of human beings left, and they are the spies of human beings.
It's as if human beings actually bought the spies of the dead to spy on the dead. The dead actually did the same thing, but when the battle between the two races could almost be regarded as a life-and-death battle broke out, these spies basically chose themselves. race, fighting for one's own race, until now it is basically impossible to see such people.
Therefore, the appearance of Zhang Xiaofei immediately made Xue Changfeng realize that this person is likely to be the human spy left by Mo Ran. Although he can't spy any deeper information, as a human, even an ordinary human, he must be Can know a lot of news.
Zhang Xiaofei was also a little surprised. The city lord of the dead just now looked sleepy, but after a few seconds, his whole body seemed to have changed, and he suddenly became much more energetic. He even sat up straight. Staring at himself so closely, it seems that he is looking at an extremely important object...
Of course, Zhang Xiaofei didn't want to objectify himself, but he did see this emotion from Xue Changfeng's eyes, he couldn't help swallowing nervously, and immediately reported the information he knew to Xue Changfeng.
The capture of Mo Ran is not a secret among the entire human race. After all, that day happened in full view. Even after the dead retreated smoothly that day, humans held a ceremony because of the capture of Mo Ran. Simple but very lively party.
But where Mo Ran went after he was caught is not something ordinary human players can know
"You mean that Mo Ran is not dead?"
Zhang Xiaofei didn't speak, but Li Linlang beside him said, "If I were a human being, I wouldn't kill Mo Ran. After all, such precious research materials are not always available."
Xue Changfeng turned his head to look at Li Linlang, and Li Linlang was also looking at him, seeing that something in his gray eyes slowly came to life again, and then it grew wildly like weeds in the spring breeze. stand up.
I have to admit that Xue Changfeng's mobility is quite good when he is not hypocritical, but within a week, he has once again assembled the most elite troops of the dead clan to march to Tiandu City to rescue Mo Ran.
Of course, the mission this time is a rescue, and it is not suitable for a large scale. There are only 30 people participating in this rescue, and each of them is a dead person above level 6, and all of them are the top of the dead elite army. They traveled lightly and headed towards Tiandu City under the leadership of Xue Changfeng.
Regarding the matter of leading the team, in fact, no one agreed with Xue Changfeng leading the team at the beginning. After all, he is the city lord, and he is the most important person to Junlin City. The family of the dead really couldn't find a place to cry, but Xue Changfeng insisted on going, and even prepared for the worst. He considered all the situations if he couldn't come back, and arranged for his successor up.
In this firm and irreversible situation, Xue Changfeng was finally able to make the trip.
Although traveling lightly and traveling day and night, the road from Cold Wind Fortress to Tiandu City was not smooth sailing.
Because there was a fierce battle with the dead in Tiandu City, no matter what happened at that time, how much human losses occurred, just judging from the final result, the dead had already lost.
Mo Ran was captured, and the dead failed to capture Tiandu City in the end, so they retreated directly.
Hezhou and Ming'an, as the most important water lifelines of human beings, are naturally contested by human beings. After about two months of solidarity here, the dead basically emptied all the resources of these two cities. The hands of the dead captured these two empty cities.
In this battle, human beings did not lose any cities and no dead, nor did they fall to any land.
Ever since he left Cold Wind Fortress, Xue Changfeng has felt that human beings have stricter regulation on their own territory. No matter what road they walk, they will encounter Luka and patrols. Meet teams of scouts.
Because of the idea of rescuing Mo Ran with the least loss, after encountering such a thing, Xue Changfeng basically hides whenever he can. Kill them all, so that they don't have the possibility of upward feedback.
In this way, after walking for about 20 days, Xue Changfeng and the others were only one step away from Tiandu City. Just as they were trying to find out the news and prepare to find an opportunity to sneak into Tiandu City, there seemed to be chaos in Tiandu City. Luan didn't know about Xue Changfeng who was still more than ten kilometers away from Tiandu City.
However, the human beings in the small town called Menzhuang Town where Xue Changfeng and the others are hiding seem to be extremely restless, and there is almost no need to inquire specifically. When Xue Changfeng wanted to figure out what caused the human beings to be so impetuous, they suddenly heard people around them yelling.
One by one, they raised their fingers and shouted at the sky above Tiandu City. Even though they were hiding in the dark, Xue Changfeng and the others also raised their heads and looked in the direction of Tiandu City when they saw this situation.
In fact, their town is more than ten kilometers away from Tiandu City, and Xue Changfeng and the others don’t have a human chat channel. They just know from the surrounding players that there is a big mess in Tiandu City, but it’s not special what exactly happened. Clearly, not to mention, the human race chat channel is full of stories about the big skeleton that attacked Tiandu City flying up.
They have very clear goals different from ordinary human players. They stand in the dark and look towards Tiandu City. They can't see any goals at a distance of more than ten kilometers. They were constantly excited about the matter, and they had no choice but to look in that direction patiently.
However, soon, Xue Changfeng and a group of people knew what the human beings were excited about, and what was going on in Tiandu City, because they saw a huge white monster.
Under the gloomy sky, it was difficult for the sunlight to penetrate through the thick clouds, but when the huge white skeleton spread its wings and flew over, it made people feel like it was covering the sky , Even when the skeleton flew over the sky above Menzhuang Town, all human voices disappeared at this moment, and everyone fell into a suffocating silence.
Such a large skeleton is quite recognizable. Although the Latin he saw at the time had no wings, this did not delay Xue Changfeng's recognition of his identity the moment he saw this huge skeleton.
This is Latin, and this is Mo Ran's summoned object.
Although it is known from Zhang Xiaofei's news, Li Linlang's and everyone else's inference that Mo Ran is not dead, these are not accurate news. Intellectually Xue Changfeng firmly believes in these news, but emotionally, his A heart was still hanging in the air. It was not until this moment that Xue Changfeng felt that a heart that had been suspended had finally come down.
The summoned object is closely related to its master. Only when Mo Ran is immortal can the summoned object be summoned. Moreover, from the direction Latin is now flying, it can be seen that its destination should be King's Landing City.
Although Xue Changfeng still doesn't know what happened in the middle, one thing is certain, that is, Mo Ran is still alive, and Mo Ran has successfully escaped from Tiandu City and is running towards Junlin City.
"City Lord... is that Moshen?" The moment they saw Latin, all the members of the elite team became excited, and they also thought of what Xue Changfeng thought of. In a depressed mood, they gave the most powerful booster.
Xue Changfeng turned his head, his eyes had the same light as every member of the elite team, and there was an extremely bright smile on his lips, Xue Changfeng nodded heavily at them, telling each of them, and also telling himself Listen: "Yes! That's Mo Shen! Our Mo Shen is back!"
