Chapter 1153: Chapter 652: Two Choices_2
"Everyone, fight for your lives!"
The Flowing Corpses, which were initially disrupted, started to surround the group of ten.
Although the laser swords were fierce, the Flowing Corpses had tough skin, blocking the laser swords with their bodies, forcibly depleting their spiritual power.
There were already tens of thousands of Flowing Corpses, including dozens of elite ones and a Flowing Corpses Commander on horseback.
If they were truly surrounded, only death awaited them.
Everyone unleashed their abilities!
Yang Zhu was continuously throwing high-grade Talismans. As one array plate was broken, another would appear, showcasing their wealth.
Even as they fought, covered in blood, they noticed that the more they killed, the more Flowing Corpses appeared, increasing the pressure.
Turning his head, Yang Zhushuang almost blew his top!
He saw that the soldiers on the opposite city wall, seeing the Flowing Corpses cease their assault, had stopped attacking and just watched them...
Yang Zhushuang cursed loudly, "You bastards on the wall! Start shooting! If we die, the first thing we’ll do when we climb up there is chew on you! Chew on your mothers too! And your fathers, I’ll chew, chew, chew! None of you get to live!"
The Puzzle Solver wiped a black line of sweat from his forehead.
"Brothers up there, what our young master said might be rude, but there’s truth in it... We’re helping you kill the Flowing Corpses, don’t just stand by! We’re on the same side; we’re transporting grain for the court!"
Whether it was Yang Zhushuang’s curses or the Puzzle Solver’s persuasion, the soldiers debated briefly and began shooting the Flowing Corpses from behind.
A fully armored soldier commander emerged.
He ordered the soldiers, "Shoot a path for them, bring them up!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers focused their fire to clear a path.
"Let’s go! Into the city!"
Yang Zhushuang’s reckless action, surprisingly, got them accepted by the guards on the city wall.
"Blood sacrifice, form the fetus, explode!"
The Blood Demon detonated the Demon Fetus that had absorbed a lot of blood!
Boom!!!!
The blood mist blasted the Flowing Corpses away; amidst the scattered limbs and pieces, the group quickly ran down the cleared path towards the city wall.
Then they flew up over it!
Standing on the wall, they escaped danger.
"Phew~~ That was close, I’m exhausted,"
said Yang Zhushuang, taking a deep breath.
The nine warriors and two severely injured Puppets: "...."
The full-armor officer approached, saluting them, "Thank you, brave heroes, for your help. Without it, today would have been a bitter battle. I am Zhong Yi, the city defense officer."
The officer was square-faced and imposing, appearing quite righteous.
"Oh, don’t mention it, Commander Zhong; we work for the court, we can’t just watch you get overrun..."
Yang Zhushuang’s words were as smooth as his father’s.
"I heard you say you’re Deregistration Officials headed for the Capital?"
"That’s right!"
"Then why don’t I see any grain carts?"
"We collected them all, storage ring, you understand?"
"Oh... May I have a look? I need to verify your identity."
"Why not!"
Yang Zhushuang took out the grain they had collected from their first stop, filling the wall with it.
Instantly, the soldiers’ eyes turned red.
"So much... so much grain."
Commander Zhong Yi’s eyes flashed as his hand subtly pressed down.
"Men, escort these brave heroes to the barracks for a rest, and make sure to treat them well tonight."
"Yes!"
Yang Zhushuang was happy to go with them, but when he tried to store the grain with his ring, he couldn’t, feeling a force blocking him.
Usually, this reaction happened when trying to store something that belonged to someone else or was controlled by another.
And now, a clear shimmer was glowing on the grain.
"Hmm? Is there a restriction on this wall, Lord Zhong?"
The two Puzzle Solvers exchanged a glance and shook their heads.
Clearly, they were helpless regarding this Yang Family’s direct descendant.
"Young Master Shuang... we’ve been tricked."
Zhong Yi surveyed the area and said, "With the Flowing Corpses attacking the front, and a war breaking out, the army has the right for immediate decision-making. We’re requisitioning this batch of grain as military provisions."
"You should rest, and if you want to return home after resting, I will escort you..."
The two Puzzle Solvers furrowed their brows, realizing something was off.
Yang Zhushuang, however, looked delighted.
"Oh? Then we don’t have to transport the grain anymore?"
"The story is completed?"
Puzzle Solvers: "...."
The rest: "...."
Yang Genshuo: "...."
Despite having countless complaints at this moment, it was clearly not the time; Commander Zhong Yi and the surrounding soldiers, clearly with higher cultivation and martial prowess, were watching them. If they voiced any objections now... forget about grain, even their lives would not be guaranteed.
The Puzzle Solver immediately said, "In that case... we’ll go rest."
"Hehe~ Go ahead."
Zhong Yi saw they didn’t resist, smiled slightly, and ordered the soldiers to gather all the grain.
Thus, the painstakingly collected grain of this world was confiscated in one fell swoop. All seized.
Yang Zhushuang even felt as if the story was ending.
The two Puzzle Solvers looked at each other and spoke in unison, "This is trouble..."
Yang Genshuo shared the sentiment.
"Now they’ve lost all their grain, if they go to Beijing... it’s a death sentence."
After this Legendary Land journey...
Yang Genshuo and the Yang Family here concluded a rule: They could only survive by eating grain from the Legendary Land. Without it, they would starve; their Spirit Food was utterly ineffective, even gifting it to ordinary refugees was futile, as it had the same effect as eating air.
Thus on the flip side it revealed a rule: Non-Legendary Land grain was useless.
Meaning, the grain they were supposed to transport to Beijing had to be this world’s grain, otherwise... it would be like sending a load of air.
Therefore, the key to deregistration grain transportation lay in the grain!
Without it, they were doomed to fail.
The initial Hungry Officials had already informed them of the rules.
Now, with Yang Zhushuang’s group’s grain taken by the city defense, it meant... they had to find new supplies.
But where to find grain from here on out was uncertain.
If they couldn’t gather enough later, the whole group was in danger...
"Who the hell could have thought of this?"
Yang Genshuo cursed under his breath.
Initially, when Yang Zhushuang led the charge into the city, he thought it displayed some foolish wisdom... Now it seemed, this choice wasn’t necessarily for the best.
"That officer Zhong Yi, with his dignified appearance, seemed like a righteous type, but who knew he’d have such a black heart... swallowing everything at once."
In this Legendary Land, most appeared bizarre, those who looked human were rare, but who knew they’d have a beast’s heart...
"This message needs to reach the other teams quickly, to prevent them from getting fleeced."
Soon, the other groups received the ancestor’s notification.
Yang Min laughed, "In that case, I just won’t hand it over."
"It seems that just killing some Flowing Corpses will get you accepted by the people up on the walls."
"Nine of you stay put; I’ll come back to get you once I’ve cleared the way."
Yang Min charged forward alone.
The Flowing Corpses roared as they surged forward.
Roar!!!
Several elite Flowing Corpses immediately pivoted, lunging at Yang Min.
Bam Bam Bam!
Bloody mist exploded in the air, any Flowing Corpse that got near Yang Min, elite or ordinary, was killed with a single blow.
He single-handedly forged a path.
"How dare you!"
The Flowing Corpses Commander could no longer sit idly by, swinging a large sword as he flew over!
Countless tentacles shot from behind, piercing the Flowing Corpses, drawing on the power of thousands of them.
Bam Bam Bam Bam!
Clashing with Yang Min fiercely!
Though strong, Yang Min was pushed back by this barbaric strength.
"Hmm? Interesting..."
As he prepared to enter the second phase, a voice called from the city wall.
"Down there, are you Deregistration Officials from the south?"
Yang Min: "Indeed!"
"Good! Brave men, come this way quickly, don’t tangle with this fiend, it’s undying!"
Sure enough, after engaging the Flowing Corpses, he received a summon from above.
Seeing this, Yang Min didn’t push his luck; he led the nine Yang Family members to fly up the wall, leaving the Flowing Corpses behind.
Here, Officer Zhong Yi chuckled, "Deregistration Officials, why don’t I see your grain carts?"
"Oh, they were eaten by rats along the way,"
Yang Min replied.
Zhong Yi: "..."
