Chapter 21: Imminent

Since Fang Ran made the Breaking Talisman in batches and passed down the Formation Breaking Technique, Huangchen's garrison strength has been greatly improved.

Smash a few pieces of the severance charm at will, and a large number of fragments of the severance charm will come out. Distributed to the end, the night patrol team is almost all in one piece.

In the past, it was only night patrols, but in the past few days, as more and more spies have been discovered within fifty miles of the Huangchen camp, the frequency of patrols has also increased, to the point that there is always a team outside day and night.

Everyone could smell the imminent crisis, and everyone understood that no matter how careful they were, they couldn't be too careful.

At this moment, Fang Ran's order was, don't be a force.

Therefore, in the past few days, although the combat power of the squads has increased significantly, the number of encounters has decreased.

Fang Ran knew very well that the one sent at the beginning must not be a killing move, so it was composed of one-step martial apprentices, and the team led by the peak of the martial apprentices or the second-step martial artists, with the blessing of the formation breaking technique, even if they fought more with less, they could win steadily.

But with the silence of these stones who threw stones to ask for directions, anyone could have imagined that Huangchen still retained enough ability to resist.

The people sent out next, according to Fang Ran's expectations, at least were no longer the ones that the night patrol team could safely stay.

If you can't stay, why expose your strength too early?

Besides, if it encounters hard stubble, it will only damage the brothers of Huangchen in vain, so why bother?

Soon after the White Snake reported to Fang Ran the enemy situation he had detected, the night patrol team that Huang Chen had scattered on the wilderness also returned.

From the top of the mountain, a group of people can be seen galloping back in the distance.

The leader of the team raised his arm high, and a yellow flag in his hand waved in the wind.

"Huang Qi? Is there a crisis, but it's not imminent? It seems that something has been discovered. Fang Ran thought to himself.

He patted the white snake on the head and pointed in the direction of the returned team: "Continue to investigate, be careful not to expose." ”

The white snake spit out the letter in high spirits, picked up a pheasant caught from nowhere, raised his neck and swallowed it, and sent a divine thought-"Chicken...... You're too beautiful", and then turned over and disappeared into the crack in the back of the mountain.

"Hey, Shen Nian has learned to speak? yes, yes...... Who could it be in the direction of the dead woods......" muttered in a low voice, and then jumped down from the top of the mountain.

The long wind howled, and the toes were a little between the rocks, and with the momentum of the downward rush, the speed was a little faster.

At the foot of the mountain is a vertical cliff, there is nowhere to stay, Fang Ran is short, jumps high, jumps directly from the edge of this cliff, and hits the ground.

The smoke and dust stirred up dissipated, and Fang Ran saw Zhuo Mo, who was less than three feet away in front of him, with a gray face.

The latter's throat twitched, and he spoke for a while: "Master Fang...... I just buried the severance charm yesterday......"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention, I'll make it up to you. ”

"No, no, this ground is strong, it's hard to dig, you just made the pit bigger, I'll go back and bury it a little deeper." ”

“...... Oh. ”

Humanoid Pile Driver ...... No, the humanoid excavator ran away with an embarrassed face, and before he ran a few steps, he met Zhong Mingtai, who had just finished his cultivation.

"Young master, the team has news back. Zhong Mingtai said angrily.

"I just saw it in the mountains, and there's a situation on the other side of the dead woods, right? ”

"It's not just the dead wood forest, but the team on the side of Hongya also had a response earlier, saying that they saw a large group of people. ”

Fang Ran raised his eyebrows: "Yo, what about them?"

"Brush ...... What?"

"Ah, that means attacking the same target together...... That's the word I read from ancient books. ”

Fortunately, Zhong Mingtai did not ask which ancient book it was.

As he spoke, the team returned from the Dead Wood Forest had already arrived in the tent.

Fang Ran and Zhong Mingtai walked into the big tent one after the other, and the two teams that were already standing in the tent got up, clasped their fists and saluted: "I have seen Master Fang, Commander Zhong." ”

The long table in the big tent has been replaced with a sand table, the sand table is made by Fang Ran himself, all the terrain is vivid, even the slightest few falling rocks, are restored just right. When looking at the sand table, it was as if you were really looking down from the sky above the Arakushin camp.

A few small yellow flags were taken out from the side of the sand table, and they were casually inserted in the position of the dead wood forest and the flood cliff, Fang Ran pressed his hands on the edge of the table where the sand table was placed, and looked up and said, "Tell me in detail." ”

The people of the two teams watched Fang Ran plant the flag in an uncertain way, and in a moment of surprise, when they heard Fang Ran speak, they glanced at each other, and someone from the team that returned from the flood cliff first stepped forward.

It was Hu Guiyu, he had a lot of wind and frost on his face, he looked a little tired, but his eyes were very bright.

"A day ago, when we were looking to the edge of the cliff, we noticed someone coming through the Biluo Stream. There were thirty-one people in total, and three blue-eyed ligers. The leader was a middle-aged man in a brocade coat with a flute pinned to his waist. ”

"The blue-eyed lion and tiger beast, don't have a flute?" Zhong Mingtai immediately judged.

"Cangluhou?is it really him?" Hu Guiyu was taken aback, "It looks like it, but I didn't dare to draw conclusions...... Isn't Cangluhou supposed to be exploring the north? Why did he come to the south at this time......? It's a tricky problem!"

The rest of the tent also looked terrified.

"Cang Lu Hou is very strong?" Fang Ran asked.

"Very strong. Zhong Mingtai nodded, "Cangluhou's own cultivation is stronger than mine, and when Fang Qingyu was here, he stabilized him, and he didn't dare to make a mistake." Now that he knows that Young Master Fang Qingyu has an accident, he must feel that Huangchen has no one to cure him. ”

"It's just a canglu, it shouldn't surprise Deputy Hu and everyone so much, right?" Fang Ran asked.

Zhong Mingtai lowered his voice: "It's not Cangluhou who is in trouble, it's his three-headed blue-eyed lion and tiger beast that is in trouble." ”

"What is this......" Fang Ran asked with little confidence. In the whole big tent, he was the only one who showed an expression of "what, what?" and the rest of the people seemed to know these names well.

Zhong Mingtai patiently continued: "Which fierce beast that can survive in the Wilderness of Silence does not have amazing abilities? The skin is rough and the flesh is thick, the strength is infinite, a mouthful of fangs and a pair of sharp claws, killing countless people. Smaller settlements, with thirty or fifty people, have a martial arts pole in charge, and the blue-eyed lion and tiger beasts also come and go like the wind, and they will be destroyed if they are extinguished. The most hateful thing is that these beasts are just thirsty for killing, not for predation, and the corpses are all over the field where they have been plagued, looking horrible. ”

"So fierce...... How can Cang Luhou be tamed? A martial artist can't bear it, what other way does he have?"

"Cangluhou knows the language of beasts, and uses that flute to control beasts. The blue-eyed liger beast dominated the hunting ground within a radius of dozens of miles, and Cangluhou spent a lot of effort and filled in a lot of lives, and then found five blue-eyed liger beasts and tamed them as minions. This time, I pulled out three heads at once...... I'm afraid that I came with the intention of killing all of them if I can't do it. When the time comes, if you really come from those three brutes, I'm afraid you'll have to kill a lot of brothers......"

Fang Ran had a thoughtful expression on his face: "I know the language of beasts......" Then he scratched his head and poked the little sigh that was sleeping in his hair.

The little guy sent back a divine thought: "The lion and tiger beast is not a snake and a snake, so it can't be controlled." So he rolled over and went back to sleep.

", you actually told me that you can't count on ...... situation" Fang Ran complained secretly in his heart, and turned to the other team: "What about the dead wood forest?

"Uh...... It was a few carriages, and the carriage looked very weighty. "The leader of the other team was a very young boy, who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. His name is Huang Huan, and he was promoted by Zhong Mingtai. Before, he was unknown, but he cultivated the formation breaking technique very hard, and he entered the realm very quickly, and he had almost touched the threshold of the martial artist realm.

Huang Huan looked very nervous, and his speech was a little stumbling, Fang Ran nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"The horses that pulled the carts were all heavily armoured, but no one was seen driving them. There was no one outside the carriage either...... I think it's the Tang family. ”

"Hmm...... It's like. The machine armor horse machine cart was deployed, and it should be all kinds of siege weapons. Zhong Mingtai also agreed.

"Organ...... Tang family?" Fang Ran forced a smile, and secretly called out in his heart: "The setting of the groove seems familiar! Tang Sect, mechanism, something, such an awesome thing, you can also encounter it when you cross over?!"

Even so, Fang Ran still forced himself to calm down: "The Tang family is also here to troubled the water?"

"Huangchen and the Tang family have always used well water to avoid river water, but half a year ago there was a conflict over a mineral vein. That time they were also at fault. When it comes to fighting, we are not afraid of them, but this is a critical ...... I'm afraid it's going to make things worse. ”

Fang Ran narrowed his eyes and asked, "There was no conflict before and after, what is the situation with the ore vein?"

Zhong Mingtai pointed at Hu Guiyu: "He knows better when Deputy Hu was present that time." ”

Hu Guiyu nodded and said, "It's actually an ordinary spirit stone mine, but it's not white chalcedony, but Xingchen soft gold." The vein was discovered by us first, and it stands to reason that it is ours. But it seems that Xingchen soft gold is very important to the Tang family, let's explore the ore veins on the front foot, and the Tang family will come on the back foot, and if you are unreasonable, you will take it. After a big fight, naturally we won, but many of the Tang family's extremely powerful organs did not appear that time, and it cannot be said that the strength must be inferior to ours. This time, I guess I came for the ore vein. ”

"It's a matter of urgency, anyway, there will be a spirit stone vein in the future, what do you think, how about taking the Xingchen soft gold mine for the Tang family to retreat this time?" Fang Ran raised his head and looked at the people in the tent.

"It's not impossible. The threat is too great, and it has a posture of never dying. If the Tang family can stay out of the matter, we may not be able to fight with Cangluhou. ”

"That's it, that's it. The dead wood forest is closer to this side than the flood cliff, and I should be able to finish the talk before the canglu is killed. As for Canglu...... Ordered to go down, and arrange the horses outside the camp, and bury more thistles in the ground between the horses, and prepare crossbows...... Hopefully it's a stop. ”

Zhong Mingtai took the order.

Just as Fang Ran got up and was about to leave, there was a commotion outside the big tent.

"What's wrong?"

Before anyone could answer him, the curtain of the tent was opened, and a man covered in blood stumbled in, panicking: "Pen...... Beacon Hill ...... It's the Seven Absolute Sons!"

"What?!Seven Peerless Sons?!" Except for Fang Ran, everyone was shocked for a moment!
