Chapter 750: Chapter 304: The Defeated Longyou Army, Xia Army Cannot Escape, Holy Tripod
Xia Chuan realized this point earlier than the others, so as soon as he retreated, he immediately had Yue Feng clear the tunnel on the top floor of the main building to scout the situation outside and prepare to lead people out underground, in other words, escape.
This was also a retreat route he had prepared in advance. Their task was just to hold back the Longyou Army, defending the Beehive was just a means to an end. Since it couldn’t be held, he naturally wouldn’t stay here to fight to the death.
Unfortunately, this only retreat seems to be blocked now.
"The Cold Beast should have been lured by the white mist, the White Dew Gu has made a move, and it’s highly likely that Li Xuantiang is under control. The previous rodents were also brought over by the white mist to breach the iron wall!"
Chen Yingyuan, who was also severely injured at this moment, stood next to Xia Chuan and spoke in a slightly breathless voice, sharing his conjecture.
Earlier when Xia Hong was surveying the Yanglu Forbidden Land, he took him and Peng Bo along, and he had seen those white mists in the Yanglu Forbidden Land with his own eyes. So when he saw the white mist invading through the hole broken by the rodents earlier, he immediately realized what was going on.
After listening, Xia Chuan did not respond in any way and bowed his head, lost in thought.
"Can’t run away now..."
Seeing Xia Chuan’s reaction, Zhao Long’s expression darkened slightly, and he couldn’t help but let out a light sigh.
Bang!
Yuan Cheng, one of the severely wounded, was in a slightly better condition, sitting on a chair. Hearing Zhao Long’s words, he slapped the chair hard, stood up directly with a swoosh, and said angrily, "If we can’t run, then we won’t. Either way, it’s a death sentence. Minister, let’s go all out against the Longyou Army. Even if it costs my life, I’ll take down a few Long Mountain dogs."
As soon as Yuan Cheng spoke, Qiu Peng, Luo Yuan, Lin Kai, Meng Yi, Zhu Yuan, including Zhao Long with a dim expression, all followed and shouted angrily.
"That’s right, at worst, it’s death. Over two thousand brothers are gone; even if I die, I’m taking a few from Long Mountain with me!"
"Huang Yong, Zhu Ling, and Ying Xuan, three at the Cold Resistance level have gone down as well, so it doesn’t matter about us. Minister, go all out with Long Mountain, I’m not afraid!"
"The leader might have already taken Long Mountain; we can’t drag behind with our over nine thousand strong, let’s fight Li Xuanling and the others!"
"Great Xia has no cowards who fear death. Even if it costs my life, so be it!"
"After these years of good days, it’s time to repay the camp."
"I never dreamed I could break through to the Cold Resistance level before. Following the leader to achieve such fortune, I’ve lived enough. Minister, let’s fight them!"
.........
"I won’t let you die, trust me!"
Seeing everyone’s determination to die, Xia Chuan was moved, stood up, and interrupted them directly.
Just as Xia Chuan was about to speak, suddenly, someone burst in from outside.
The person looked panicked, gasping for air as he spoke:
"Minister, lords, the corpses... the corpses on the ground are starting to emit a large amount of white dewdrops, just like the Dewdrop Plague from a while ago. The infection rate is extremely fast. Many of our wounded brothers are also starting to exhibit it."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Cheng had the largest reaction among everyone.
He clearly remembered something, his pupils shrinking suddenly as he hurriedly turned to look at Xia Chuan, only to find that Xia Chuan’s face showed no surprise at all.
Yes, matters of Yangyuan Peak, he had long told the Minister.
The others basically knew about the Dewdrop Plague as well and instinctively took out Solidified Fire Oil from their bodies, including the soldier who just reported, who also had Solidified Fire Oil applied.
Evidently, in dealing with the Dewdrop Plague, the people of Great Xia already had some experience.
However, the speed at which the Dewdrop Plague spreads is extremely fast, especially in areas with many corpses and injured; using Solidified Fire Oil simply wasn’t fast enough.
"Yue Feng, light the fire!"
Just then, Xia Chuan suddenly gave an inexplicable order.
Light the fire, what fire?
Everyone was confused, then saw Yue Feng walking towards Xia Chuan’s back, heading to the side room behind the main hall.
Sizzle, sizzle......
A flame suddenly rose from the side room, and an intense warmth spread out, almost instantly making everyone in the main hall realize.
"The Holy Tripod?"
"The leader left the Holy Tripod for us?"
"The Dewdrop Plague is no problem now, we don’t need Solidified Fire Oil."
"Wait, isn’t the Holy Tripod’s plague elimination indiscriminate? Once ignited, the Dewdrops on the Longyou Army will disappear too, and they’ll still attack us!"
.........
The appearance of the Holy Tripod, although a relief.
But the problem with the Longyou Army remains unsolved!
"Don’t rush, Yue Feng, go up to the ground first, and then..."
After indicating everyone to stay calm, Xia Chuan first called Yue Feng to his side, laying out tasks one by one, and after speaking, turned to look at Chen Yingyuan:
"Tend to yourself first; we will go talk to Li Xuanling together!"
