The work of picking pecans was proceeding rapidly, and when Wu Xiu was short of manpower, even ordinary people climbed the tall and smooth pecan trees and smashed the pecans down with great difficulty, regardless of the danger to their lives.

This valley is a long way from the Imperial Capital, and elusive demon vanguards may appear at any time. But people didn't have time to hesitate, to fear, in order to be able to eat an extra bite of food, for the emperor to survive under the siege of Qianzhixuan's demon army, they had no other choice at all.

After refugees from all over the Great Qian gathered in the imperial capital, it brought unprecedented food pressure to the emperor, and in the face of a population of more than one million, even if one person only ate one mouthful of porridge every day, it was a huge consumption.

Food is crucial, civilians need food to survive, and martial arts need a certain amount of food to maintain physical functions, so as to ensure combat effectiveness. Therefore, in the past few days, in order to achieve the final decisive battle, the Daqian has become more and more strict in controlling the supply of food for the poor.

Every day, the food supply in the imperial capital is a drop in the bucket, and many people are in a state of half-satiety many times. After a long time, the refugees have thought of various ways, and the wild vegetables near the imperial capital have long been harvested, and even the grass and trees have begun to suffer.

There was even a situation in the imperial capital, where under the starvation, large groups of refugees launched riots, snatched the food allocated, and finally killed many people, and blood and corpses were piled up in the streets.

There is no doubt that if such a food crisis continues, the people of the imperial capital will become more and more desperate, and if this continues, I am afraid that before the demons led by Qian Zhixuan to break through the city, the imperial capital will completely disintegrate itself from the inside.

Because of this, Qianwushuang had to send a large number of masters to lead the team outside the city to search for food before the final battle.

After becoming a master of "half-step innate", Guan Yunxing is now one of the strongest people in the imperial capital, and his prestige and status are extremely high. So this time, he was given a heavy responsibility, leading hundreds of martial cultivators and thousands of ordinary people to risk their lives to go to this valley to collect pecans and alleviate the food crisis in the imperial capital.

Bang la la one by one!

Zou Gaosheng waved the iron rod with agility, smashing the pecans on the branches of the hickory trees like rain, and the pecans fell to the ground like hailstones, splashing a lot of dust and mud.

Zou Gaosheng smashed the pecans down, and the ordinary people around him didn't even wait for the pecans to fall, so they immediately rushed up with their hands and feet, scrambling to pick up the swarthy pecans on the ground as quickly as possible, and threw them into the simple wooden cart on the side.

"Thank you, old man. ”

Guan Yunxing smiled with satisfaction, and at the same time, he flicked his sleeves, and suddenly hundreds of pecans were attracted by a strong air flow and fell into the ring on his fingers.

After all, space storage items are scarce items in Daqian, and the space inside is enough for Wu Xiu personally, but it is a drop in the bucket for a group of people, so this time when he goes out of the city to grab food, he still has to rely on traditional methods to transport it. Although Guan Yunxing and the others all vacated the Na Ring to store food, they could only relieve some of the pressure on transportation.

"It's hard work, it's nothing compared to people who go to the battlefield, and a waste old bone like me can do this for everyone......"

Zou Gaosheng said, his figure flashed again, jumped onto another pecan tree, and then raised the iron rod in his hand, and knocked the pecan down with a "bang" sound.

Guan Yunxing's side, his grandson Guan Xiong is also helping to harvest pecans, compared with back then, he has grown into a tall guy, but his words and deeds are still a little impulsive, while picking up pecans, he said depressedly: "Grandpa, this is too boring! When can I go to the battlefield to kill those demons?"

Guan Yunxing smiled bitterly and was speechless, he blocked Guan Xiong from going to the battlefield in order to protect Guan Xiong, but this kid was no different from ordinary secondary two teenagers, always thinking about going to the cruel battlefield, killing demons and making meritorious contributions, and being a hero that everyone worshipped.

The world has long been so unbearable, almost the end of the world, but Guan Xiong only saw the scenery of the battle heroes who returned to the city, but did not see the cruelty and blood behind it. Guan Yunxing smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he had to comfort: "Don't worry, the days ahead are still very long, and your chances of participating in the battle are ......"

Guan Xiong heard Guan Yunxing perfunctory with exactly the same words again, his face was broken, and he was sullen: "You said this last time, you said this last time, and you said this last time!"

The wry smile on Guan Yunxing's face was a little stiff. These days, as the situation deteriorates, Guan Yunxing has forced a smile, but in private he has been feeling powerless and hopeless. He doesn't expect anything now, he just wants to protect the people of the Guan family, especially his grandson Guan Xiong, after losing the news of Guan Pianjiao for a long time, he doesn't want Guan Xiong to encounter accidents.

Guan Yunxing sighed and said, "Xiong'er, your current strength is not enough, and it is more than auspicious to really go to the battlefield, alas...... If your sister is still here, if she can give you good guidance in the martial arts, I won't worry about you so much now......"

Hearing Guan Yunxing mention Guan Pianjiao, Guan Xiong's face also darkened. Guan Pianqi has not heard from him for a long time, and the exact news that can be obtained now is that the White Lotus Monk took Guan Pianqi to the Medicine King Valley, and then the White Lotus Monk and the others lost the news, and it has been several months now.

Naturally, everyone thought that the White Lotus Monk and the others should have suffered misfortune, maybe it was Qianzhixuan's conspiracy to eradicate the top combat power of the Great Cadres. And Guan Pianqi is also among them, and it is undoubtedly difficult to be spared.

"Sister will definitely come back! She promised me that I would take me to the White Lotus Sect for further study, she will definitely not break her word!"

Guan Xiong gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. Although his heart is also shaken and he can't deny the fact that his sister is no longer there, he doesn't want to accept such a reality and prefers to deceive himself.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, almost an hour later, the pecans in the valley were picked like a wind and clouds, and the dozens of simple wooden carts in the team were full.

Seeing this, Guan Yunxing breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and immediately ordered: "Let's go, return to the imperial capital immediately! After returning to the imperial capital, we will distribute the reward for mistakes, and have a good rest!"

The ranks erupted in cheers. Guan Yunxing immediately took the lead in opening the way in front, while the other martial cultivators began to escort the vehicle, and the ordinary people pushed the vehicle together, and the team slowly moved.

When the procession had traveled almost half the way, everyone was tired, but it was so dangerous outside the city that not a single person complained or stopped to wipe his sweat, and the team continued to move forward at full speed.

It wasn't until the dust suddenly rose on a hill in front of them, and the appearance of several ugly demons broke the calm of the team......
