Chapter 208 Life and Death

"Sissi, what's wrong with you?"

In the compartment of the heavy armored vehicle, Chen Ping raised his hand and touched Su Xixi's forehead. It was indeed a little hot.

"Just now in the secret realm, I...I absorbed some power from the stars!" Su Xixi did not hide anything.

When she first got the clues about the "Lion's Heart", she had a hunch that this place seemed to be very important to her, so when the power of the stars appeared, she didn't think much about it and tried to store some.

But I never expected that not only did my strength not improve, but I also felt a strong sense of discomfort.

Chen Ping had never encountered this situation and didn't know how to deal with it.

He tried his best to stay calm. At present, the only place he could think of was the Grand Mage Guild.

Although the wizard is no longer around, Xiaobai has inherited some of the wizard's abilities, and there may be a way to do it.

Chen Ping did not hesitate and asked Jiang Cheng to stop the car.

"These places have refreshed the B-level scarlet secret realm. I have asked Bai Yue to send people to guard the teleportation array. With your strength, it should not be a big problem to clear the level!"

Chen Ping marked several places for Mazi on the map.

"Do you need help here?" Xue Na asked.

At this time, Su Xixi had fallen into a coma. Chen Pingyuan originally wanted to take Kehel with him, but after looking at Xue Na, he decided to take her with him. It would be more convenient for two people to take care of Su Xixi. .

"You come with me too!"

After some explanations, Chen Ping took Su Qianqian, Xue Na and Kehel and directly used the teleportation scroll of Bali Continent.

"bite!"

"The Bali continent teleportation scroll is being used!"

"The upper limit of teleportation lifeforms: 5"

"The remaining number of uses of the Bali Continent Scroll: 8"

"Return within 24 hours and the remaining times will not be consumed!"

After a beep, the four of them appeared outside the familiar city of Hutton.

After being conferred the title of Marquis of Jinsha by the Queen, Chen Ping left here. It has only been eighteen or nineteen days now, and the scene around him has been completely changed.

The city wall, which was originally impregnable, was riddled with holes.

Only the charred remains of the once-tall towers remained, and the acrid smell of smoke and scorched earth hung in the air.

Outside the city gate, there is a desolate scene. Amidst the flying dust, thousands of refugees huddle together tiredly, their eyes empty and desperate.

Their clothes were shabby and shabby, and their bodies were covered with traces of dust and exhaustion.

The old man was hunched over, the child was nestled tightly in the arms of the adult, and the cries kept coming and going. It seemed that even the air was filled with a heartbreaking sadness.

"Fa...what happened!" Kehel's face was full of disbelief, and he even felt that he had come to the wrong place.

Chen Ping picked up Su Qianqian on his back and walked quickly towards the city gate.

"I am……"

"The whole city is under martial law, no one can enter..."

The guard stopped Chen Ping without even checking his identity.

"I am the head of the advisory group of the Grand Magician Guild, a knight of glory personally conferred by the Queen of the Principality, Chen Ping, Marquis of Sands!"

Chen Ping took out a golden token.

"Chen...Master Chen!" The captain of the guard looked at Chen Ping carefully when he saw Chen Ping's token.

"The little one has eyes but cannot see Mount Tai..."

"Get away!"

Chen Ping gave a low drink.

The guard quickly stepped aside to let the four people pass.

Seeing this, the refugees not far away also swarmed in, but they were all ruthlessly blocked outside.

Hutton City, which was bustling and noisy not long ago, suddenly became very decayed.

Except for the occasional soldiers patrolling the streets, there were no civilians on the road.

Once upon a time, this city was a bustling place, with the streets and alleys filled with laughter, the shouts of vendors, and the play of children.

Chen Ping arrived at the Great Magician's Guild with ease. The tall building stood alone, quite lonely.

"Where is President Shalan?" Chen Ping walked into the union and saw Krall who was preparing for war.

"Master Chen! The president has gone to the Dark City!" Kehel replied.

"What about Xiaobai?"

Su Qianqian was already unconscious, and Chen Ping had no time to ask what happened here. For him, it was more important to save Su Qianqian.

"In the president's office!"

"Take me to her!"

"Yes, Master Chen!"

Krall took Chen Ping and others to meet Xiaobai.

"Chen...Brother Chen..."

Xiaobai has been able to communicate with people normally, but during the time in the Grand Magician's Guild, except for a few words with Shalan, he was usually taciturn.

"Xiao Bai, Sissi absorbed some... energy from another world and is now unconscious!"

Chen Ping put Su Qianxi on the sofa in the room.

"Let me take a look!" Xiaobai walked over quickly.

After looking at Su Xixi, Xiaobai closed his eyes slightly, clasped his hands together, and whispered a strange spell, and then gently placed his hands on Su Xixi's body.

Suddenly, Xiaobai's hands glowed with a faint blue light and gradually integrated into Su Qianqian's body.

It's like the spring sunshine melts the winter snow.

Su Xixi's frown slowly relaxed.

After a while, Xiaobai opened his eyes first.

"Brother Chen, there is nothing wrong with Sissi. That strange energy was too strong and caused some damage to Sissi's body."

"I did some research and found out that Sister Sissi's recovery ability is very strong and she is fully capable of resisting that kind of energy."

"It's just that it may take a long time to fully absorb this energy."

"I gave you a little guidance, and Sister Sissi should be able to fully absorb it soon."

After Chen Ping heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved.

"What happened here?" Chen Ping asked.

"Not long after you left, the werewolf clan in the north suddenly declared war on the principality. The principality had no preparations. The werewolf clan leader drove them in and attacked several towns. However, the allies who originally signed an alliance with the principality not only failed to come to aid as promised, but two of them One even joined forces with the werewolves to attack from two other directions!"

"The principality has been asking for help everywhere, but to no avail, so President Shalan went to the Dark City in person to seek reinforcements from the dark elves. However, President Shalan has been there for more than five days, and there is still no news. I'm afraid... the dark elves also Don’t want to help!”

Krall, standing aside, introduced Chen Ping.

"The principality's depth is not that small, but it was pushed to Hutton City so quickly?" Chen Ping frowned slightly.

"They came straight to Hutton City. There are still four major provinces in the principality that have not been attacked, including your fiefdom of Jinsha City, which has not been attacked!"

"Then why don't you send troops over?"

"The principality is mainly based on commerce, and its military strength is weak. When the Queen ascended the throne, she was worried about rebellion, and she continued to reduce local military strength. It was impossible to raise a combat-effective army in a short period of time. The main force in some provinces was still mercenaries, and the war continued , these mercenaries saw that the war was not going well and ran away directly." Krall sighed.

After all, Chen Ping had been canonized by the Queen and received a lot of benefits. At such a critical moment of life and death, he naturally wanted to help within his ability.

"You guys take care of Sissi here, I'll go into the palace!"

As soon as Chen Ping finished speaking, Queen Skadi had already arrived at the Grand Mage Guild in person.

While he was entering the city, Skadi received the news.

"Your Majesty the Queen! I've heard about what's going on here!"

"The werewolf tribe's attack is still going on. Behind them is the empire. If the wizard hadn't set up a defensive array, Hutton City would have been razed to the ground!"

"It's just that the wizard is no longer here, so this defensive formation may not be able to continue."

"President Shallan personally went to the Dark City. I just received news that the Dark Elves are willing to send troops to support."

"But the surrounding countries are watching eagerly. Even with the help of the dark elves, it is difficult to resist their offensive!" Skati, who had not rested for several days, looked haggard.

"Your Majesty the Queen, since I have accepted your reward and become the Duke of Jinsha in the Principality, I will naturally contribute to the safety of the Principality! I will set off immediately to the heaven to seek help!"

"This is my handwritten letter. If people from the heavenly world can come to help, I am willing to pay any reward!"

Chen Ping took Skadi's envelope and received it in the Space Stone.

"Your Majesty the Queen, I will come back as soon as possible!" Chen Ping nodded.

"Okay, there are still many things to deal with in the palace, I'm going back first!"

After sending Skadi away and Chen Ping returning to Shalan's office, Su Xixi had already woken up.

"Brother Dong... I'm sorry for making you worry!"

"It's okay!" Chen Ping touched Su Xixi's head.

"Shall we go back now?" Xue Na looked at Chen Ping.

"As entrusted by others, as a matter of loyalty, I promise Queen Skadi to seek support from the heavens!"

"Then I'll go too!" Su Xixi stood up.

"I'll go too!" Kehel also nodded.

"I listen to you!" Xue Na said.

"Brother Chen, I've made a lot of progress recently, maybe I can help you!" Xiaobai whispered.

"I'll go too, Hiccup! This wine has so much staying power!"

A few days passed, and Xiao Hei was still feeling dizzy every day. He didn't hear clearly what everyone was saying, so he popped up and said something along with them.

"Without further ado, let's leave now!"

After working hard for days, Chen Ping only had a good night's rest at the tavern proprietress's place, and he was a little tired at this time.

But the principality was indeed in danger, and Chen Ping couldn't care less about rest.

Before setting off, Chen Ping arranged a seven-pointed star array in front of the spiritual spring of the Great Mage Guild.

This is the place where the power of elements is most abundant, so Chen Ping did not consume much when setting up the magic circle.

"Owner!"

As soon as the Phantom appeared, he saluted Chen Pingping.

"This is a small country in the Bali continent that is being invaded by other countries. I want you to lead the succubus tribe and guard it here for a while!"

Although there are not many people in the succubus clan, they are very powerful. In addition, Hutton City has a defensive array left by wizards, so it is not difficult to defend them in a short period of time.

"Master, don't worry, I will do my best to protect this city!"

After a few brief instructions, Chen Ping took Su Qianqian, Xue Na and others straight to the Tower of Babel.
