in the edge

Chapter 326 New Era

A monster as tall as a three-story building was wreaking havoc in the south of the city.

The huge monster with a head like a teacup roared crazily, and the remaining hatred made it blind. It didn't know why it had fallen into this situation. It obviously did not do anything wrong - but now it has nothing, even just It didn't even have an enemy anymore. The corpse in front of it had already eaten most of it in one bite. It had become a monster and could no longer look back.

The bloody hatred made it completely crazy, so it threw out a lot of medicine bags and silver needles, throwing this hatred equally to everyone in sight.

Of course, for the Cuphead monster, it was just a medicine bag and a silver needle, but for ordinary people, there were silver needles the size of a throwing gun, and there were some that were much bigger than sacks, filled with rot. As long as the flesh and blood medicine bag is hit, the life will be lost on the spot.

For a time, the entire southern part of Jiankang City was littered with dead and wounded, and all residents fled in panic.

"There's a monster again!"

The people who were running away shouted like this. As for why they said "again", of course it was because similar things had happened more than once - just like now, in addition to the Cuphead monster, there was another one with a kitchen knife on his head. The pig-headed monster stood up in the distance.

The pig-headed monster with scarlet eyes pulled out the kitchen knife from its face, and there was another bloody storm in the distance.

In the past, although everyone occasionally heard legends about monsters, they had never seen them with their own eyes. But recently, monsters that only exist in ghost stories have appeared one after another - - They are just ordinary people, but they have no ability to resist these monsters that are often several stories high.

Fortunately, the person who can save them finally appears.

"The imperial commander is here!"

Several watchmen and policemen with loud voices shouted in the distance, and on the roof behind them, several people armed with various weapons, just like the knights who slay demons and monsters in gay stories, Traveling under the night.

Seeing the appearance of these people, the chaotic people became a little quieter. After all, in recent times, these people called soldiers have destroyed some monsters - but after all, people are still unwilling to regard these people as Officials look at it just because the origins of these people are really problematic.

Madmen, murderers, and gangsters who committed crimes were what people called them in the past. If it were in the past, these madmen who only know how to kill people should be imprisoned by predators. But obviously, times have changed. The murderer in the eyes of everyone in the past has now transformed into a so-called "soldier", and even wears official uniforms.

But can this group of people really save them?
  "Om-"

Silver needles the size of a spear were thrown over like water. Obviously, the Cuphead monster also discovered these people.

However, unlike ordinary people on the ground, these people flying on the roof are not powerless to fight back.

"drink!"

The figure holding a large shield at the head directly set up a shield wall, and the thick evil spirit condensed into a vortex in front of the shield wall. The scattered silver needle spears were actually guided by the evil spirit vortex, and their flight trajectories were twisted all the way, and they all hit the target. On top of that solid shield.

But this shield wall can block the silver needle, but it cannot block the poisonous gas on the rotting flesh and blood in the medicine bag.

"Oh!"

The package of flesh and blood, which was two sizes larger than the sack, hit the shield wall, and the rotten flesh and blood that exuded a putrid smell immediately scattered in all directions.

The man behind the shield just smelled a bit of rancid smell, and he immediately spit out a mouthful of blood.

But his actions finally bought some time for his companions. The remaining soldiers had already rushed to the side of the monster, and the swords, guns, swords and halberds in their hands were already glowing, and the monster's body was instantly covered with blood. There were dozens of deep wounds visible to the bone.

"Take advantage of his illness! Kill him!"

The monster was seriously injured in a single encounter, and the morale of the soldiers immediately rose. With their scarlet eyes, they once again swung the sharp blades in their hands, actually intending to cut the monster into pieces on the spot!

But this monster doesn't just know how to get beaten.

"Why...why! Why me! Why does all this have to fall on me!"

The crazy monster waved his ten arms, and more silver needles were thrown out like a rainstorm. Facing the suddenly crazy monster, the soldiers who lost the protection of the shield wall could only block and parry first, looking for Fighter for action next time.

Although this kind of overwhelming throwing may be extremely terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people, in the eyes of these palm soldiers who know how to use evil energy, it is just an ordinary level - as long as they block these flying needles and are not hit by the flesh and blood medicine bag , they will kill this monster as easily as killing a chicken.

But at this moment, there was a soldier holding a spear who noticed something was wrong.

The monster clearly has ten arms, why are there only eight throwing flying needles?

"It's closing the wound!"

When his eyes turned to the two unexplored arms, the spear-wielding commander's eyes suddenly split.

"It's buying itself time to heal!"

"What a bitch!"

For a moment, all the commanders began to curse.

The monsters themselves are not scary. Although these monsters are often rough-skinned and fleshy, they can still be killed with a few more cuts. Of course, many monsters will choose to devour living people to recover from their injuries, but as long as the living people run away, they can be killed. , the monster will not be able to last indefinitely.

Of course, that's for monsters in general.

This monster is obviously different now. This monster can achieve unlimited battery life by itself, which means that this battle may become a protracted battle.

No, it won't even be a protracted war.

Just because this monster sewn not only wounds, but also more flesh and blood on its body.

That was the corpse of an ordinary person who had just been killed by a monster. At this moment, all the wounds were sewn into the wounds by the monster. With the addition of these fresh flesh and blood, the shape of the cuphead monster had grown two circles in size visible to the naked eye, from three feet to three feet. How high it is, it has risen to more than five feet without realizing it.

The silver needles that were like spears just now were replaced by smaller, yet sharper scalpels.

Obviously, after the suturing just now, this monster is much stronger, and these thin-edged sharp knives, which are smaller but faster than throwing spears, are extremely difficult for the soldiers to block - just because these blades are so strong It was too sharp, and even vaguely had the ability to cut through the evil aura. The soldiers who relied on the evil aura to attack were restrained by this move for a while.

What's more, the number of these thin-edged sharp knives is even greater than those of silver needles just now.

"laugh--"

Finally, someone was cut open by a scalpel, but what came out of the wound was not red blood, but some kind of dark brown rancid liquid.

Those blades were obviously poisonous.

At this time, the man with the shield who was coughing up blood finally rushed over. Although he was still coughing, he still smashed the shield on the roof under his feet - the roof was naturally smashed, and the It seemed as if a family hiding inside had also been smashed to death, but the influx of new evil energy made the man's face look a little sickly rosy.     “Bah!”

The man once again set up the shield, and the other commanders also retreated behind the man. The thin-edged sharp knives that flew out were once again guided by the evil vortex, and they all hit the solid shield.

The thick shield could only block punctures and cuts, but the huge impact was still there. However, the more ferocious the impact, the crazier the man's face became.

In the man's other hand, at some point, there was an inconspicuous dagger.

"I'll kill your whole family!"

Following the man's roar, the inconspicuous dagger came out of his hand. The huge force not only came from the man himself, but also was superimposed on all the impacts that the thick shield had received.

With such huge power, the humble dagger turned into a stream of light in just an instant.

"boom--"

The dagger pierced the huge monster, but the sound it made was not the sound of piercing flesh and blood, but a muffled sound like a catapult hitting the city gate. The evil energy wrapped around the dagger exploded, and the monster's smaller half His body was blown into a bloody mist.

With such an injury, it was impossible to sew it up with only two arms. When the monster drove the remaining fifteen arms to sew them together, the soldiers finally saw a chance to win.

However, just under this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a sword light came.

"Om-"

Under the moonlight-like sword light, the huge monster that was seriously injured was immediately cut in half.

Immediately afterwards, countless crescent moons fell from the mid-air, sprinkling on the two remains of the monster, and smashing it into thousands of pieces.

They have all been cut into pieces, so naturally they cannot die anymore.

"It's Sword Master Qingyue! Sword Master Qingyue is here!"

The people who had been affected by the disaster immediately cheered. They completely lost their avoidance and resistance to the soldiers in charge just now. They only looked at their enthusiasm for the people who fell in the air, as if they were treating their relatives.

The Qingyue Sword Master is a military master who has only recently become famous. As for the title "Sword Master", it is naturally to distinguish him from the military master - the one who uses the sword is called the sword master, and the one who uses the sword is called the sword master. , the person who uses a long gun is called the gun owner, and at most the name of the weapon or person is added in front to distinguish it.

Different from the military commanders recruited by the imperial court, these military masters are often people who are successful in martial arts among the people. Whenever monsters make trouble, these military masters with armed forces will also stand up and fight with the monsters - but However, they refused the imperial court's call because they disdained to associate with bandits.

Being born among the people has made the people naturally close to them, and not being drafted by the court has made the people think that these military leaders are upright people.

In particular, these war masters often have unique skills. Monsters that even the masters can't defeat can be eliminated by these war masters in just three or five moves. This comparison of combat power is simply decisive.

as it is now.

"Pooh!"

The man holding the large shield spat on the ground.

"If I hadn't seriously injured this monster with my sword, why would you..."

"It turns out to be Brother Shan Bing!"

Hearing this scolding, Sword Master Qingyue, who was surrounded by people in the distance, turned around.

After waving his hand and signaling to the people around him to clear a path, the Qingyue Sword Master crossed the crowd and walked towards the commanders.

"It turns out that Brother Shan Bing led the team, so I'm a little embarrassed...Did I steal your job?"

You also know?

Several soldiers in charge immediately glared at him, especially the shield-wielding man named Shan Bing, who stared at the Qingyue Sword Master in front of him.

Just looking at the opponent's moon-white robe, there is not a single stain on it. It is in sharp contrast to the people in their team who are wearing black and red official uniforms and have even been beaten and dirty - feeling Shan Bing had also noticed the gazes of the people around him. This boy definitely wore this outfit on purpose, just to appear more exposed than them.

Especially the phrase "stealing your jobs"...

Why, we are working, and you are just saving people from disaster?
  But after taking a deep breath, Shan Bing still didn't have an attack.

It’s not that I don’t want to fight, it’s that I can’t. You must know that he has just fought, and his mind is already full of murderous intentions. At this moment, facing this kind of strange yin and yang energy so close at hand, how can he endure it? But the problem is that he has to endure it. The one who was right was the Qingyue Sword Master who ranked [-]rd in the Hundred Weapons Library.

The ranking of seventy-three may seem inconspicuous, but it is already among the top [-] masters in Nanchen. You must know that even with Shan Bing's strength, which can be said to be "unbreakable", he is only ranked in the top [-]. Eighty-fourth, eighty-four beats seventy-three, what should he beat?

"Hello."

Sooner or later it will kill you.

Gritting his teeth, Shan Bing finally suppressed his killing intention and did not attack on the spot.

After picking up the dagger he threw, Shan Bing finally left with his team. On the other side of Jiankang City, the pig-headed monster with a kitchen knife on its face had also been defeated. Fortunately, there was a sound coming from a distance. Judging from the outcry, the team of commanders led by Jiang Wenyuan, the "Iron Ruler" who ranked [-]nd in the Hundred Military Records, finally completed the crusade and was not upstaged by the civilian military leaders. .

But that's all.

There was no cheering or applause. For the military commanders, this was just work. In the eyes of the people, this was what they should do. They were destined not to enjoy the glory that civilian military leaders could enjoy.

"How about I take off these clothes and become a soldier?"

Shan Bing suddenly thought.

But obviously, this is impossible. Not only will the government not let him go, but the troops in charge will not let him go. If he dares to take off his official uniform just like that, then what will happen if he lives deep in the palace but is there? Eunuch Cao, the "eunuch tiger" who ranks first in the Hundred Soldiers List, will definitely come out and skin him personally.

　The first update arrived, and after two consecutive naps, I finally regained my energy, my brain became normal, and I finally became less stupid when writing.

　　Another: Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly tickets, thank you for your encouragement and support.

　　I happen to not be too sleepy yet, so I will continue coding and everyone should go to bed early.
