Chapter 441: Dawn after the Storm

Chapter 441: Dawn after the Storm "General, please don't talk nonsense!" The military advisor immediately stepped forward and blocked him, looking left and right as if afraid of being heard. "Why? Isn't it? The Taoist gave me a wooden bead, but it was useless! In the end, it was our brothers who fought desperately and got rid of the monster!" The general said, "We were almost deceived and killed by the evil Taoist!" "General! Be careful with your words!" "Why, why?" The general looked left and right, and in the light of the fire, he saw the expression on the face of his personal guard captain, and he felt... They all felt a little intimidated by what they had said. The general also began to feel that something was wrong. "General, please look——"

The military advisor stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance. The storm has gone, and there is a crescent moon and a few stars in the night sky, illuminating the dim coastline and the undulating hills on the beach. "What do you mean?" The general couldn't see clearly and was still confused. "General, you don't know that there are not just one monster, but two." The military advisor said, "Most likely one is male and one is female." "Ah? Two!" The general was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat and looked around quickly, "What about the other end?" After asking this question, he noticed that the expressions of the guards and captains around him changed. They seemed a little strange, a little shocked, and a little indescribable awe. "After the general forced the giant turtle back, he fainted. We fought desperately to kill it, but before long, another giant turtle came out of the sea. At this time, it was the wooden pellet that the immortal on the mountain over there lent to the general..." The scene was so shocking that the military advisor couldn't help but open his eyes wide when he recalled it. Even if he just described it with words, it would be difficult to bear the weight of the picture, so he had to pause while speaking to take a breath: "Somehow, it flew into the sky and transformed into a giant armored god as tall as a hill. Holding a golden whip, it beat the giant turtle to death with just a few lashes!" "Ah? Armored Titan?" "It's absolutely true! That giant turtle is only as high as his knees! I think it must be the star god from the sky who has descended to the mortal world!" "Seriously?" The general's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief. "Many soldiers have seen it. What's more, the giant turtle is lying there right now. When daybreak comes, the general will go and take a look at its injuries and then he will know whether it is true or not." "This……" The general stood there in a daze, unable to move. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he asked quickly: "What about Bokumaru?" "It's missing. After the armored giant god killed the giant turtle, it disappeared. We searched for a long time but couldn't find it." The military advisor said. Seeing the general's panic, he quickly persuaded him, "General, don't worry. It's most likely taken back by the gods."

"That's fine, that's fine." The general heaved a sigh of relief and asked quickly, "What time is it now?" "It's probably almost dawn." "Is the immortal still on the mountain?" "do not know……" "Hurry! Help me go up the mountain to take a look!" "General, you..." "It doesn't matter!" The general forced himself to stand up, and in the dim light, he quickly identified the direction of Etou Mountain and walked towards it. There are two battlefields in the middle. It was a terrible mess, with arrows, spears, fishhooks, harpoons, ropes, kerosene, damaged armor and weapons, and bloodstains from unknown sides all over the ground. The sand was in a mess. Even the most tragic battlefields in the world were probably rarely seen as messy as this one. A giant turtle was lying there like a mountain, motionless, but still terrifying. The general led his troops past, and even though he knew that this was his masterpiece, he still couldn't believe it. He couldn't imagine that he had killed the person, left him there, and that he and others had done it. The other battlefield is very simple, but more thrilling. The general held up the torch and shone it over there. There was also a giant turtle lying on the beach, but apart from the traces left by it crawling on the beach and the pile of sand pushed out by its sudden stop, there were not many signs of fighting. If you wanted to go into details, there were only some huge footprints like big pits not far from it. Seeing these footprints, the general realized that the giant god mentioned by the military advisor was not an exaggeration at all. The entire head of the giant turtle, along with the carapace at the neck, was smashed into pulp by the blunt weapon, and the minced meat splattered on the beach, and the blood dyed the ground red. The general opened his eyes wide and swallowed. I can’t imagine how powerful this is! I can’t even imagine what kind of deity could summon such a giant god at will! Only then did I realize that the military advisor's few stumbling words had actually managed to describe such a shocking scene. "immortal……" The general said so, wanting to take a closer look to broaden his horizons and strengthen his heroic spirit, but he had another feeling in his heart - It’s almost dawn, we have to hurry up the mountain. Otherwise, the gods might ascend to heaven at dawn at the crowing of the cock, just as the stories and legends say. The general retracted the torch and dragged his seriously injured body forward. Climbing the mountain in the dark. Etou Mountain is not very high, but it is the highest mountain on this coast. The general has been practicing martial arts for many years, and he did not feel hardship coming here in the past. But today, he was injured and exhausted, and he just felt that this mountain was so difficult to climb. Climb for a while, rest for a while. Take a few steps and take a few breaths.

Especially since it was dark at this time, I could only see the silhouette of the mountain but not its height, and I could only see the silhouette of the grass and trees but not their appearance. There was an illusion that this mountain seemed to have no end. "oops…… "Ugh……" Am I just marking time? The general couldn't even help thinking so. A soldier beside him shouted, "General! Can I carry you?" "That's not necessary!" The general took a few breaths and continued forward. Just take a few more steps forward and the view will suddenly become clear. It turned out that the sky had been blocked by the winding mountain roads and lush vegetation, and the road was not visible. As they climbed the mountain, they unknowingly reached dawn. At this time, the wind was calm and the waves were still. The sky and the earth seemed to have been washed clean by the storm that had just passed. The moisture on the sea is neither thick nor thin, and the clouds in the east are neither too many nor too few. Everything is just right. The morning sun was still below the sea, not yet visible, but it had already made half of the sunset glow as red as fire, more magnificent and varied than fire. Behind the morning glow, the sky was blue and green, green and white, and then smoothly transitioned to yellow, orange, red and purple, a dreamlike gradient of colors. Even the generals and soldiers who were born here seemed to have never seen such beautiful glow. A Taoist priest stood on the top of the mountain, with his back to them and only a black silhouette facing the magnificent scene. He raised his left hand, as if holding a jade bottle, and stretched out his other hand to wave - In response to his request, a ray of rosy light flew from the horizon and flowed into the jade bottle in his hand like water. The jade bottle was filled with shining light, like a scene in a dream. The arriving general was stunned. The knowledgeable and erudite military advisor was also stunned. The captain's personal soldiers behind him also stood there in a daze. At this moment, I had nothing in my mind, just looking at this picture. "Everyone, please enjoy the morning glow." A voice came from that figure, gentle and polite. As soon as the words fell, a ray of red light pierced the sky obliquely. At this time, the eastern sky fire had burned to its maximum, a magnificent and fiery red cloud, and the red sun showed a corner and slowly rose. In the water vapor at the seaside, it was not dazzling at all, and all the excess light was absorbed by the water vapor and clouds, forming the dreamlike morning glow at this moment, which set off the morning glow, gradually rising and shining brightly. The seaside is full of vitality at this moment. It seems as if the world begins from this moment. "The general is both civil and military, and now he has gained some courage. In these troubled times, I think he will be able to make a difference. It is our honor to meet the general today." A voice drifted over, "It's a pity that we have to leave here soon." Everyone looked towards the figure on the top of the mountain, only to see that he had withdrawn his hand at some point.

I think he also accepted the jade bottle. Unfortunately, the sun had risen high at this moment, emitting bright light that made it impossible for them to open their eyes and see clearly. Before the general had the chance to greet or thank the master, he felt a breeze blowing from the sky, and the immortal standing on the top of the mountain and the white fox beside the immortal all disappeared with the wind.
