I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 356 Some people have a short life (Subscription required)
There is a clear difference between Youdu City and the Acropolis behind the human race.

For example, Baidi City and Hailing City were mostly built with huge stones, including the city walls and buildings within the city.

But in Youdu City, except for the outer city walls and various towers and fortresses which are made of huge stones and a layer of cast iron melted in water, the buildings inside the city are made of wood.

Inside the city, you can see wooden buildings and pavilions, just like the Taoist temples and halls in Taixu Dao Sect. The four beams and eight pillars are all round wood, and the roof is red tiles, which looks quiet and elegant.

At this moment, in a private room of a restaurant, Chen Yi sensed everything in the city and asked, "The style here is different from Baidi City?"

"Of course it's different," Zhan Hongxiu, who had just recovered from her injuries, couldn't wait to drink a few sips of wine and said carelessly:

"Youdu City and Tianqiong City, which is thousands of miles away, are the main targets of the demon court. Every now and then, a great demon king will attack. Over the past thousand years, the buildings inside and outside the city have been damaged countless times. It is very troublesome to repair them."

“So five hundred years ago, several ancestors simply didn’t make it so solid, and relied solely on the formation to strengthen it.”

"Plus, Youdu City has always been guarded by our Taixu Dao Sect. Over time, the buildings in the city have become similar to our sect's holy land."

"If it weren't for the purpose of avoiding suspicion, the General's Mansion would have to be built in the style of the Taixu Palace."

Chen Yi laughed dumbly: "No wonder he looks familiar."

As he spoke, he saw that Zhan Hongxiu wanted to drink more, so he took out Xun Wangtian's special spring wine from his Xumi bag and put it on the table, suggesting:

"Big sister, please drink mine."

"Yours?" Zhan Hongxiu was startled, pointing at the wine in her bowl, and said proudly, "Snowflake Brew, a special wine made from Mount Taizhou, costs a hundred gold coins a bottle."

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows, chuckled and stopped trying to persuade them. He opened the wine seal and poured a bowl for Lu Cheng, Ning Xue and Jiang Yunni, then said with a smile:

"Qingquan wine can strengthen your physical body. This bowl of wine can probably increase your strength by ten thousand pounds."

"Really? Then we have to try."

Lu Cheng smiled and glanced at the stunned Zhan Hongxiu, then picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp, and two blushes instantly appeared on his face.

He felt it silently for a moment, and couldn't help but exhale a breath of wine and laughed: "It's strong and refreshing, and it deserves the name of Qingquan Wine."

As he spoke, he winked at Zhan Hongxiu and said, "Big Sister, are you sure you don't want to try it?"

While he was talking, Ning Xue and Jiang Yunni watched the show while picking up their bowls and taking a sip.

After noticing the blood and energy in their bodies surging, they all smiled.

"It does have the effect of increasing strength. Just this small sip of wine has the strength of a hundred pounds."

Ning Xue glanced at Zhan Hongxiu, then looked at Chen Yi and asked, "Junior brother, this wine is so effective, it must be very precious."

Chen Yi shook his head slightly, glanced at Zhan Hongxiu and replied with a smile: "I don't have much of the treasures bestowed by a senior."

Zhan Hongxiu watched the conversation between the few people and then reacted.

Her nose twitched a few times, and the arrogance on her face disappeared instantly, and she restrained her carefree spirit. She threw a coquettish look at Chen Yi and called out delicately, "Junior Brother~"

puff.

Lu Cheng, who had just taken a sip of wine, spit it out and coughed, "Big, big sister, don't do this..."

Ning Xue and Jiang Yunni were both stunned for a moment, staring at Zhan Hongxiu in a daze.

Even Chen Yi, who was knowledgeable and experienced in many battles, felt a chill down his spine when he was called "Junior Brother".

No time to say more.

Chen Yi directly took out an empty bowl, poured wine into it, and inhaled: "Big sister, I will fill it up for you right away, I just ask you to be a decent person."

Zhan Hongxiu rolled her eyes at him immediately, took the bowl and snorted, "Why didn't you tell me about this wine earlier? I even used the snowflake wine to rinse my mouth, and it's easy to taste bad, you know?"

Having said that, she gulped down the drink. Two blushes immediately appeared on her face, and her clear eyes were slightly intoxicated.

"Good wine, good wine, this is definitely the best wine I have ever tasted."

Upon seeing this, Chen Yi, Ning Xue and the others smiled at each other, and raised their bowls to clink with each other.

Chen Yi took a sip of Qingquan wine and glanced at the smiles on the faces of several people. He felt much more relaxed physically and mentally, as if he had returned to the days on Jianfeng Mountain.

At that time, although he was still young, because he had the memories of his previous life and his cultivation was not weak, his status on Jianfeng Mountain was second only to Zhan Hongxiu.

Whenever he had free time, he would invite Flower Fairy, Du Yan, Xu Nian and others to the mountain, where they would drink wine and eat barbecue, and their days were quite carefree and happy.

It was not until Zhan Hongxiu and Lu Cheng arrived at the Taizhou Mountain battlefield that the entire Jianfeng Mountain became less lively.

Not only were the eldest sister and second brother not there, but also because everyone had grown up and their state of mind was no longer the same as when they were children.

Especially the estrangement of Wei Letian and others who were gradually drifting away made Chen Yi realize that many people would only stay for a short time, just like the scenery he saw on his way from Kyoto Prefecture to Taixu Taoist Sect to become a disciple.

No matter whether it is beautiful or ordinary, if you have seen or heard it, you will miss it.

"What are you thinking about?"

Just as Chen Yi was sighing in his heart, he heard Senior Sister Ning Xue's voice transmission: "Are you worried about something?"

Chen Yi glanced at her, shook his head slightly, and replied with a smile: "I thought of the days in Jianfeng Mountain before."

Ning Xue suddenly realized what was going on, and a smile appeared on her pretty and gentle face.

When she heard Chen Yi's words, the memory that emerged in her mind was not the one on Jianfeng Mountain, but the time when she and Chen Yi were competing in swordsmanship in the Imperial City.

Until now, she still remembers that she lost to the three-year-old Chen Yi in swordsmanship.

"If I have time, I will go back to the mountain with you."

"it is good."

As soon as Chen Yi's words were conveyed, two blushes appeared on Ning Xue's face.

Zhan Hongxiu and Lu Cheng, who were drinking silently, did not notice it. Only Jiang Yunni, who had been secretly observing Chen Yi, noticed that something was wrong between him and Ning Xue.

The relationship between these two people should be as I guessed before - very complicated!
In fact.

Jiang Yunni had long noticed that Ning Xue was paying close attention to Chen Yi. She not only paid attention to the information coming from the Tianyuan Continent, but also paid attention to collecting the opinions of some people on the Taizhou Mountain battlefield about Chen Yi.

Although Jiang Yunni would also pay attention to Chen Yi's movements, she would never take the initiative to collect that information, nor would she care about other people's opinions of Chen Yi.

In her opinion, it was enough for her to remember Chen Yi's kindness in her heart.

After three rounds of drinking.

Lu Cheng burped, thinking of the danger today, and sighed: "Thanks to Brother Chen's timely arrival, otherwise we would have been in great danger."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Hongxiu shook her head to sober up a little, looked at Chen Yi and asked:
"Junior brother, I just heard your conversation with the eagle-headed monster outside the city. Did Yuhua Xianmen plot to harm us this time to deal with you?"

When Ning Xue and Jiang Yunni heard this, they also looked at Chen Yi.

"That's it."

Chen Yi spoke vaguely, not intending to tell the truth so as not to make them worry.

But Zhan Hongxiu was not so easy to fool. She glared at him and uttered one word: "Speak!" "..."

Chen Yi looked at her helplessly, knowing that if he didn't give a reasonable explanation, the senior sister might get drunk and crazy today, so he said pickily:

"It's a long story, but to put it simply..."

While he was describing what happened and the tricks he discovered after arriving at the Taizhou Mountain battlefield, he also deployed his sword intent to prevent the news from spreading.

"That's roughly the situation. Before I rushed to Youdu City, I told Patriarch Hong Tian about my findings."

"As for what happens next... I'm sure they will give me an explanation."

Through his mind, Chen Yi had already noticed some unusual movements of soldiers in various places in the city, and he thought it must be the actions of several ancestors.

If they were a spy or puppet of the Demon Court, they wouldn't be so blatant.

However, he was not clear about the plans of the ancestors, nor did he know the details of how many puppets they had mastered.

boom!
After hearing this, Zhan Hongxiu was so angry that she slammed the table. She was completely sober now and said angrily:

"How could someone dare to betray the human race and secretly persecute human soldiers? How could they do this? How dare they do this?!"

Lu Cheng frowned, tried to comfort her, then looked at Chen Yi and asked, "Junior Brother, so these puppets controlled by the powerful demons have been hiding in the cities of our human race for many years?"

"At least three years." Chen Yi didn't know the details of Bai Yuanguang, but combined with what the tiger demon said before, it should take five years for Renji City. With secret operations, the deployment progress in other cities would not be that fast.

Ning Xue also stopped smiling, "Since the ancestors already know about this, I believe they will take action soon."

Jiang Yunni nodded in agreement: "That should be the case. Several ancestors control the formations of each city. It's OK if they haven't discovered it. Once they know about this, they will be able to find them all by tracing the source."

"Catch them and cut them into pieces!" Zhan Hongxiu was still angry.

She has been at the Taizhou Mountain battlefield for more than two years and knows the situation here best.

The seemingly majestic city wall looks bright and shiny on the surface, but in fact it has been scrubbed countless times. Even so, every time you stand on it, you can smell a strong smell of blood that lingers for years.

Every day, countless humans died in the war. Even she herself had experienced danger many times and hated the demons to her core.

"Who are they being worthy of by doing this?!"

Chen Yi pursed his lips slightly, motioning Ning Xue to comfort her, while speaking in soothing words:

"Big sister, please don't be anxious. The ancestors haven't responded yet. Once they have investigated thoroughly, they will naturally give everyone an explanation."

Ning Xue took Zhan Hongxiu's hand and said:

"Yes, Senior Sister, from what we have discovered so far, only a few people have betrayed us, and most of them are puppets controlled by demons."

Hearing this, Zhan Hongxiu was silent for a moment, then pointed at the table and said, "Add more wine."

"Okay, plenty of wine." Chen Yi did not refuse and took out the last bottle of Qingquan wine and poured it for everyone.

At the same time, he also took out cakes and other things that could keep one young and prolong one's life and distributed them to several people.

Until the daybreak, Zhan Hongxiu was still in low spirits, cursing:
"Junior brother, after coming to Taizhou Mountain, I realized that some people's lives are very short."

"When your Senior Brother Lu and I first arrived, we were in the scout camp and the one who led us was a young swordsman."

"Although his talent is not as high as yours, when he was eighteen years old, his cultivation had reached the second level. He was proficient in the way of the sword. Among his peers in the Taizhou Mountain battlefield, he was considered quite good."

"but he……"

She said in a slightly hoarse voice: "We were discovered by demon scouts while on a mission."

"When his life was in danger, he took the initiative to choose to stay behind and let us escape first. Junior Brother Lu and I, we..."

Although Lu Cheng did not speak, his eyes were already red and he looked up at the beam at the top of the private room.

Ning Xue and Jiang Yunni remained silent, both looking sad.

Ning Xue was not there at that time, but Jiang Yunni knew about it. She patted Zhan Hongxiu on the shoulder and said:
"Sister..."

Before she finished speaking, tears started to flow from the corners of her eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Yi sighed inwardly, raised his bowl and said, "This bowl is for them."

As soon as he finished speaking, he poured the wine on the ground.

The clear wine splashed with foam, dispersed and merged, and the aroma of the wine filled the air, as if it was really feeding all the human beings who sacrificed in these fortified cities and acropolis.

"No need to say more, Junior Brother, I will definitely destroy the Demon Court!"

……

Fifty thousand miles outside Tianqiong City.

This place is adjacent to the foot of Mount Taizhou, with strange rocks standing in rows, lush vegetation, thick vines climbing all over the ground, and a faint layer of mist permeating the air.

Deep in this area of ​​strange rocks, the Netherworld River, a thousand feet wide, flows down from Mount Taizhou, but without a single ripple. It is as dark, quiet and eerie as dead water.

The Demon Court built palaces thousands of miles away from the Netherworld River, stacking them up layer by layer along the undulating rocks, all the way to guard the main hall on top of the rocks.

Especially in this foggy environment, the dimly lit eternal lamp looks like the faint twinkling of the sea of ​​stars at night, and like a pagoda standing on the earth reaching thousands of feet into the sky.

The Demon Court built its nest here to prevent the human race from the Tianyuan Continent from breaking through to the various realms of Taizhou Mountain, and also to guard against people coming from the Taizhou Mountain realm on the other side of the Netherworld River.

At this moment, dawn breaks in the east, and a faint sun shines slowly from the top of Mount Taizhou.
"The plan failed."

The Jiaolong Lu sank into a human form, still ten feet tall, and sat upright on a chair made of white bones, humming:
"This time, I failed to kill the few bastards from Jianfeng Mountain of Taixu Dao Sect, and I didn't lure Chen Yi out of the city to fight. What's the reason?"

Not far away, the demon with an eagle head and a human body sitting at the bottom grinned, and his eagle eyes swept around and landed on the shadow demon on the other side:

"Shadow, you were the one who started this. Don't you want to explain?"

"Is there anything you need to explain?" The shadow demon's body was looming, and his tone was cold and hoarse. He said:
"This was originally a hastily arranged plan, which took only a few hours. If it could have been successful, then Chen Yi would not have slaughtered millions of little demons in Tianyuan Continent."

boom!
Lu Chen said angrily: "I am asking about the reasons, not the results!"

"The reason is that time is tight and Bai Yuanguang and the others don't cooperate well with us." Shadow Demon snorted:
"If Chen Yi had not been held back in Renji City, several humans from Taixu Dao Sect would have died. This would have naturally angered Chen Yi and led him out of the city to fight."

"Are you satisfied with this explanation?"

Lu Chen glared at it and said, "Are you blaming me?"

"Shouldn't it be? As far as I know, most of the elite soldiers in your demon camp have died. Do you still have the strength to attack Renji City?"

"you!?"

"Quiet."

At this moment, a figure sitting at the head of the table spoke calmly:
"The human race has a saying that is correct - things have come to this point, and there is no point in saying more."

"Tell me about your next plan..."
