Chapter 390: Chapter 86: Fragile as a Stack of Eggs [Three in One]_5 Chapter 390: Chapter 86: Fragile as a Stack of Eggs [Three in One]_5 Outside the city, the Golden Emperor had commanded the snake clan to begin their assault.
The ones leading at the forefront of the city walls were not soldiers or armies.
They were martial arts masters from the underworld.
Leaders from Supre Mountain and the West Gate family led thousands of martial artists, all of whom recognized the Purple Emperor as their leader.
In other words, the Purple Emperor was given the highest command over this irregular force.
Because aside from the Purple Emperor, no one else could control this group!
These fighters, including the Purple Emperor, all had twisted expressions.
Full of unwillingness.
However, in every way possible, their skills were superior. Thus, it was necessary for them to resist the first wave of attack.
It was indeed a bizarre phenonon, the more reluctant they were, the more they ended up at the front.
Moreover, they had no choice but to be there, since they didn’t trust anyone else to protect themselves or defend the city walls.
This was not a war between two nations, where if they hid, the invading enemy might not necessarily find them. Even if they did, they might not fight them, and if they fought, they might not necessarily win.
But now, facing a snake swarm, if a single gap appeared it would spell disaster for the whole city. The snakes would definitely find them, and once found, they would certainly devour them. If one snake couldn’t eat them, more would co. In short, they would not attack another target until they finished with one.
This was such a damned situation!
Mo Yuantu held a long sword, his face twisted with a disgusted expression.
Below, the snake swarm had begun their attack.
Packed tightly, like a mountain or sea.
Charging wildly towards the city wall.
“Archers!”
A heroic shout rang out.
It was Fei Xinyu!
Arrow rain covered the sky, flying out.
The arrows used this ti were ordinary bamboo arrows used by soldiers. Light in weight, heavy on the arrowhead, when used by an ordinary soldier, they could shoot far. Moreover, when dropped from a high altitude, the killing power was substantial due to the weight of the arrowhead.
For ordinary soldiers, the killing power was considerable.
But for the snakes outside the city… well, it was laughable.
The rain-like arrows caused hardly any damage and fell to the ground.
But one peculiar characteristic was that these bamboo arrows were soaked in oil.
Countless snakes had already rushed to the city base, begun to climb, countless pythons directly raised their bodies and lunged wildly towards the city walls.
Mo Yuantu and the others were imdiately thrown into fierce fighting.
Wu Tiejun was responsible for the overall command of the battlefield and stood at the highest point with a calm deanor.
Below, Wu Tiejun had not yet ordered the thick layer of flammable substances to be ignited.
He had a clear plan; the initial attack was only a probe, Mo Yuantu and Purple Emperor and the others could certainly hold on!
The fire should not be started until it was necessary.
If it was burnt too early, it would be too wasteful.
…
He Bibiqu sustained his gaze on He Xiangming, who in front of him, had a cute little snake — his eyes almost popped out.
“This… this, this…”
He Xiangming nodded with a distraught expression.
“This is…?”
He Bibiqu stared with wide eyes.
He Xiangming looked utterly forlorn.
“Is this what the Snake Emperor is looking for… a little snake?”
He Bibiqu’s face turned green.
He Xiangming nodded again.
Wham!
He Bibiqu jabbed his finger against He Xiangming’s forehead, causing this beautiful woman to fall unceremoniously onto the ground.
“You, you!…”
He Bibiqu’s beard was quivering.
“Uncle… I, I didn’t know it would turn out like this…” He Xiangming replied, sitting on the floor with a mournful expression.
“When you took the snake, didn’t you think about it? This is a Swallowing Heaven Python!” Interrogated He Bibiqu with an ashen face.
“It was designated by soone else… and the price was so cheap…”
“Fool! Just because it’s cheap, you accepted it?”
“Uncle…” He Xiangming wailed pitifully.
He Bibiqu was furious: “Don’t call uncle, I’m not so lucky to have such a niece!”
“What should we do now?”
A panicked He Xiangming raised a desperate question.
“Give the snake…now, you leave. Even if soone investigates you, you must insist that… he claid he was soone sent by the Purple Emperor of Great Yan! Understand?”
A decisive He Bibiqu quickly made a decision.
If He Xiangming must be dealt with, it would be done afterward.
This issue must not be made public. Once exposed, the Purple Emperor would have an excuse to leave.
But at such a critical mont, how could they allow the Purple Emperor to leave?
Therefore, what they needed to do now was to cover up the matter! Decide how to handle it after the issue had passed.
One must admit, He Bibiqu’s thinking at this mont was extrely clear, yet also dark to the extre.
But for the sake of Yuezhou, he had to do this.
So things were not ant for the public to know the truth.
The Purple Emperor had to shoulder the bla!
He only then asked, “That Master Ling…?”
He Xiangming, sitting on the ground crying, explained everything in detail.
As He Bibiqu listened, his expression beca increasingly alert: “Very young?”
“Handso?”
“A pet kitten beside him…? What’s up with the kitten?”
“I am asking you, just recently… around ten… during that ti, was this Master Ling absent? Untraceable?”
He Bibiqu’s question referred to the ti Doctor Feng went to heal the Western Army’s Marshal, Ma Daocheng.
At this mont, He Bibiqu looked very focused.
He Xiangming replied with certainty: “Yes, he was away during that ti. He returned… only later.”
“Oh…”
He Bibiqu sighed deeply, his eyes becoming incredibly serious: “Does he have an extraordinary limit for training pets?”
“Yes.”
“Could ordinary hawks and falcons, despite being unwanted and dismissed, potentially beco kings under his hand?”
