Chapter 89
Just, why go up the mountain?

Maybe it was out of the battlefield, but now he has calmed down.Perhaps under such circumstances, the brain is more agile than usual.Anyway, the lord of the country just thought about it for a while, and immediately understood that going up the mountain is indeed the only way for the two of them.

Now that the formation has been dispersed, and a general like himself has been lost, even if Matsudaira Motoyasu will restrain him from collapsing, it is certainly impossible to do more things.And what happened today was a very big blow to the Imagawa family.

It is foreseeable that when the news spreads, the independent troops of the Imagawa Army all over Owari will certainly not be able to continue to sweep Owari step by step as planned.

Then it can be speculated that what will follow is a death hunt-the vanguards of the Imagawa Army will definitely go crazy looking for themselves, and Oda Nobuna and others will definitely go out to rescue Owari in order to achieve their goal. Desperate to catch and kill himself first before then.

Although the person in front of him was able to escape from the battlefield with him, his physical strength was still limited after all.

Once you escape on flat ground, you will probably be overtaken by the generals of the Oda Army on horseback very soon, because you must know that Yoshimoto Imagawa can't ride a horse. She fell off a horse not long ago, so she changed Take a sedan chair.And if Mu Xiu was allowed to ride a horse with her, the pressure would be too much for a horse.

Only by taking advantage of the fact that we are the first to flee up the mountain now and abolish the horsepower of Oda Nobuna and the others can we offset the huge advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and ourselves.

What's more, in this battle, she really didn't believe that the Oda Army won a complete victory, and the casualties must be extremely heavy. Next, they will face the counterattack of other Imagawa Army, so it is absolutely impossible to send people on a large scale Souyama's.After the rain passed, there were probably no traces left by the two of them, and it was naturally more difficult for the Oda Army to find the two of them on the mountain.

It's just that the days to come, I'm afraid it won't be easy...

After all, this is within the territory of the Owari country, and once the news of his disappearance spreads, the Imagawa family will have to face far more serious problems than Owari Oda.There may be no problems in a short period of time, but if I can't rush back as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation——

I am afraid that the Imagawa family will slowly decline and collapse completely because of this, and the good situation will be ruined once.

The torrential rain like random arrows, under the rolling dark clouds, together with the rumbling thunder and the howling wind, was desolate, pouring out everywhere.With the wind that changes direction from time to time, it is sometimes big and sometimes small, but it always pours down like a gate.

In an instant, the lord of the country has already gone through the crisis he is currently facing and the gains and losses of various situations in his heart, and has even begun to consider the various follow-up chain reactions that may be caused by his encounter today.

"ah--!!"

However, it was also at this time that she suddenly noticed a violent ups and downs, and she was almost thrown out without being thrown by Mu Xiu——

It seemed that the boy who had been running with her in the rain had just finally stumbled, staggered and rushed out for several steps, barely losing his balance and becoming wobbly, which made Imagawa Yoshimoto's heart skip a beat.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Xiu's speed slowed down significantly, and finally he walked slowly to the bottom of a hidden cliff, found a very clean and not too wet flat rock formation, and then stopped.The next moment, with a solid muffled sound, the lord fell to the ground because of his abrupt letting go.

"Yeah! You, you, you, you... are so rude!"

Angry and annoyed, and indeed hurt by the sudden fall, the King took a while to pull the wet and heavy dress on his body in a hurry, and struggled to stand up from the ground.She turned around and tightly covered her buttocks behind her with both hands, staring at the boy in front of her in embarrassment and resentment.

However, there was no response, and in the next moment... no matter how cruel, what is to come is still to come.

Mu Xiu's eyes seemed to be so slack that he didn't have any focus, he just stood there blankly, and then fell down without warning.His whole body convulsed and twitched, and blood kept pouring out of his mouth.

"...!!"

The lord of the country was stunned, and before she could think about what happened, she subconsciously rushed forward, stretched out her hands to support the opponent, and burst into tears at the same time.A helpless look, not knowing what to do.

——It was only then that she noticed that the other party's body was covered with wounds and blood, which looked shocking.

"Wait, what's wrong with you... I order you to stand up quickly, don't scare me, I will definitely listen to your advice in the future..." The king, who was completely frightened, said his own words in a trembling voice. request.

"Oh, please wake up..."

Cloudy sky, faint thunder.

……

……

It hurts, it hurts a lot.Can't think of anything else but the word.

Because it was a severe pain that was worse than death.

As if the skin and muscles were torn apart, every cell was boiling in the high-temperature boiling water, even the throat and internal organs were under scalding burns, the severe pain that almost reached the deepest part of the soul kept going deep into the bone marrow, as the blood flowed like Came to the body skin again.

As a result, the internal organs began to convulse and twitch, even the lungs were the same, and it was almost impossible to breathe.

But in this case, Mu Xiu's violent heartbeat completely exceeded the medical limit that ordinary people can achieve. Under the strong blood pressure, the blood seemed to be rushing madly in the bulging blood vessels.While transmitting the energy of the Pengbai to the whole body, a large part of the capillaries could no longer withstand the pressure and were broken.

How should I put it, it's like falling into scorching magma. Due to the extremely intense pain, ordinary people probably already yearn for relief.Because facing the pain that can numb even the heart to live, people can't help but have the idea of ​​giving up.

However, this extremely intense pain made Mu Xiu deeply feel the fact that he was still alive.So, for the first time in his life, he prayed extremely strongly to an unknown object.

...want to live again.

... want to, say more.

... wanting, being able to think.

...want to continue to stay in this world.

Such a strong thought and the will to survive caused the soul to sublimate in an instant, and achieved the most critical catalysis-the power of the restricted area that had been liberated to the limit has finally undergone a qualitative change at this moment!It was as if a embers of fire suddenly rekindled in the ashes that had already been burned out, releasing extremely weak heat.

Although it cannot be said how powerful it is, it is indeed the key to qualitative change.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but in his body, he saw the giant locks of life one after another - every "lock" that is invisible and intangible, but actually exists, has the terrifying potential of the human body, the deepest genes The great power of the soul, the origin message carried in the soul, was tightly locked up.

While protecting human beings from being able to survive as human beings, they also imprisoned the essential power of evolution.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Xiu found another "key" message in his mind, and saw that he had unlocked two "locks".

The first "lock" confines the dormant combat instinct and the ability to perceive danger that human ancestors have evolved over millions of years.

The second "lock" imprisoned is the protective mechanism set by the brain's subconscious mind on the body, including the muscle limiter. Once released, it will awaken the most savage and tyrannical power.

The third "lock" is located deep in the brain, in the subconscious, restricting the extremely powerful computing power...

However, just when he touched the dark ocean deep in his heart, and the tip of the iceberg of the subconscious, which is larger than the superficial consciousness, he seemed to suddenly hear some call from other illusory places.Immediately afterwards, as if the consciousness that had been completely lost was quickly reconnected to the nerve endings, he felt a coolness on the surface of his body.

Something is quickly healing his heavy injury, and it is showing excellent results.

Mu Xiu vaguely flashed a vague outline of a person in his mind.

Then he woke up.

……

……

It was very hot and humid, and it felt very stuffy.

"Damn...Damn... Hurry up and set this lady on fire!"

In the hidden space at the bottom of the cliff, the tall and straight girl king in black was sitting upright on her knees, leaning down and struggling to rub a branch with both hands.In front of her was a crude fire surrounded by dry stones, in which was half-wet firewood.

Imagawa Yoshimoto has already taken off the cumbersome golden dragon-like headdress on top of her head, and threw it aside. Her long black hair is loose, but it is still wet on her shoulders, cheeks and other places.Moreover, she had already taken off the twelve sheets of costumes on her body, and she didn't wear so many layers of heavy clothes, so she felt a lot easier.

However, there is still not much relaxation on the face of the lord of the country. Not only does she have to work hard to use this ancient method to light a fire, but she also has to endure this drenched situation, and after the thunderstorm ended for half a day, the fresh air The feeling of dampness and heat again.You also need to take care of the wounded around you at all times, and carefully pay attention to the movement around you——

I'm afraid it was the Oda Army who came after him, or some terrible beast in the mountains.

"Damn! Why can't the fire be raised at all..." Feeling that the delicate palms were red, swollen and painful, and the worn skin was even more itchy, Miss Imagawa angrily threw the branch in her hand away again .She looked around and was sure that the smoke from the fire here would not be too obvious, but the problem now was that there was no fire at all.

"..."

Seeing that his fair palms were already flushed, the Lord of the Kingdom felt very wronged.Especially when she remembered that most of the day ago when she was still sitting in the formation giving orders, compared to the current helpless situation, she felt a little difficult to breathe for a while, so she had to bury her head between her arms middle.

But soon, she raised her head again, and looked at someone on the other side who had settled down because of the wound medicine, and was sleeping soundly.Then, she subconsciously looked at her left arm.

There are three scars on the Lord's left arm, which she cut out on her arm with her saber gnashing her teeth half a day ago, and each cut is deeper than the other.

Of course, this is not a self-mutilation choice in desperation, but the helpless girl tremblingly fumbled for an ointment on Mu Xiu's body, which seemed to belong to wound medicine or something.But she was not sure whether it could be directly used for trauma, and the situation at that time did not allow her to continue to struggle or delay.

Therefore, the girl decisively chose to use herself to test the medicine.
