Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All - Chapter 459
459 The Way to Escape
When the mercenaries saw Dong Xi’s message, they began to reply.
[I’m in the desert.]
[Oasis.]
[I don’t know where it is either. There seems to be a lake above my head, but it also looks a little like the sea.]
[Volcano.]
[Battlefield!]
…
Everyone’s situation was different. Dong Xi had hired 62 people, but there were only four of them here. Furthermore, Dong Xi did not know if everyone was on the same side.
Dong Xi thought for a moment and sent another message.
[Does anyone have any information? Is there a way to escape this place?]
After a moment of silence, everyone immediately replied.
[Escape? Shouldn’t they be here looking for treasure?]
[That’s right, I also thought that I was looking for treasure in the volcano…]
Dong Xi was speechless.
These guys did not even know that they were trapped? Did they really hire a bunch of idiots at a high price?
For a moment, Dong Xi did not have the desire to continue chatting. It seemed that she had to rely on herself for everything!
Dong Xi felt that the token and those people did not appear out of thin air. There must be some arrangement. Perhaps these people were the key to escaping.
But… Dong Xi could not think of any specific connection.
After a night, Dong Xi woke up.
Dong Xi discovered that she could still cultivate by relying on the moonlight in the Secret Realm.
Dong Xi stood up and stretched her divine spark. However, before she could stretch her arms, a familiar horn sounded.
At some point, General Song stood on the city wall. He waved his hand and shouted, “Prepare for battle.”
Dong Xi took out her longsword again. However, she realized that there were many more people behind her.
Upon closer inspection, they were all the people who had been rescued yesterday.
Seeing Dong Xi come over, someone immediately said, “We will follow the Vice General and guard our homeland.”
Dong Xi saw that there were both men and women among these people. A gratified smile appeared on Dong Xi’s face.
Dong Xi did not know how long this battle would last. She could not drag it out like this.
Dong Xi was deep in thought. Like an emotionless puppet, she stood on the city wall and killed everyone who was about to attack.
At this moment, Dong Xi suddenly realized that there was a musical instrument playing.
Dong Xi looked out of the corner of her eye and saw three courtesans sitting on the ground with guqin on their legs.
The music contrasted with the battle cries on the battlefield, and no one stopped them.
Dong Xi did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the fighting spirit of the soldiers seemed to have dropped a lot.
Dong Xi suddenly recalled the story of being besieged on all sides… The zither had such an effect?
Not only Dong Xi, General Song also noticed this.
The defenders had been in an advantageous position for three consecutive days, and now that the morale of the enemy was unstable, it was time for a counterattack.
After a few rounds of arrows, General Song ordered the city gates to be opened.
“Kill!” General Song shouted.
All the soldiers swarmed out, and Dong Xi immediately felt happy after seeing this.
It turned out that both defense and offense were passive.
But now, the defending side had turned the passive into the active, and the battlefield was being led.
As Dong Xi was thinking, the people behind him started singing war songs.
At this moment, Dong Xi believed that everyone’s hearts were connected.
Dong Xi smiled and rushed out with her sword in hand.
“Junior Brother, wait for me!” Tie Zhu shouted from behind.”
Dong Xi had a premonition that everyone was about to leave this place.
Dong Xi stopped in her tracks and pulled Shangguan Yun’er. Only after Tie Zhu and the others caught up did they rush into the distance.
The enemy troops had already been routed.
Everyone followed him out of the border. The original Gobi Deserthad changed.
It was still the same terrain, but there were many flowers and plants growing on the Gobi Desert.
Dong Xi stood still and looked at the others. She knew that everyone had already noticed the changes here.
Long Wei was the first to say, “Did we… escape?”
“It should be.” Dong Xi nodded.
“What do you mean?” Long Wei said unhappily. “If we did, then we did. If we didn’t, then we didn’t. Why are you still fooling people?”
Dong Xi took out a bottle of pills and fed them to Shangguan Yun’er, Tie Zhu, and Cui Liu.
“If I were you, I would immediately take out a water-proof magic tool to avoid suffering later,” said Dong Xi.
If Dong Xi was not wrong, this storage ring would not be able to be opened in a while. Therefore, Dong Xi directly placed the pill in her bosom.
As expected, just as Dong Xi said that, she saw the flood coming from afar.
Shangguan Yun’er and the others were stunned and could not help but run toward the higher ground.
But how could a person outrun a flood? In addition, everyone could not use spiritual power now, so their speed was much slower.
Soon, everyone was swept into the flood.
However, in an instant, everyone realized that they could breathe in the water!
