Chapter 235: Pioneer Camp
Nothing was said all night. Early in the morning of the next day, after packing up the Jieye tent, Zhang Han rushed to the pioneer camp to report as promised.
The vanguard battalion was at the front of the entire team, and Chu Danchen, the commander, urged the battalion to speed up the march in front of the queue early, and when he saw Zhang Han coming to report, he frowned and said: "The mounts of the pioneer battalion are short of forage, you and the scouts who are exploring the way go to the front to prepare some for the mounts along the way to eat, and by the way, find out about the enemy." ”
Zhang Han could hardly believe his ears, pointed to his nose and said in surprise: "Prepare forage, the Great Commander, you won't treat me as a groom, will you? Won't your mounts eat grass on their own along the way?"
Chu Danchen said with a straight face: "Do you still want to eat and drink spicy food?" If you don't do it, this commander can give you another errand, then it's not as simple as preparing forage, do you want to do it?"
Zhang Han didn't expect Chu Danchen to come up with such a tricky way to play tricks on himself, so he hurriedly waved his hand and grinned: "Thank you, Great Commander, for your kindness, forget about the rest, isn't it just mowing the grass?" I'll go right away, but now that there are so many mounts in the pioneer battalion, I don't dare to guarantee enough supplies." ”
Chu Danchen was noncommittal, raised his chin slightly, and said coldly: "Let's look at it first, it's not enough to talk about it when the time comes." ”
Zhang Han had nothing to say, in order to be able to get close to Chu Meiren, he endured everything. So he followed behind the dozen or so scout demon soldiers sent by Chu Danchen, and took the lead in marching towards the reckless and gloomy mountain range.
The speed of the march of the large army was very fast, which meant that Zhang Han and their speed was even faster, and they had to run far in front of the large army. The mountains and fields along the way are rich in forage, more than a dozen scout demon soldiers plus Zhang Han, while marching rapidly, while harvesting forage, in less than an hour, has been accumulated a lot of forage on the way along the way. Zhang Han also took the way to reconnoiter the hideous terrain along the way, but did not find any unusual movements.
Zhang Han felt that it was almost enough, jumped on the six-legged beast, and slowly continued to move forward with the demon soldiers.
In less than a stick of incense, Chu Danchen's pioneer battalion quickly caught up from behind, in the hideous mountains on all sides, the mounts of the pioneer battalion galloped and swept up the smoke and dust, and many of the royal forest demon heroes who sat on wings and flew even fast enough to fly past Zhang Han and their front, whistling and shouting, the mountains and forests were shocked, and they had no scruples, but none of the mounts would stop to eat any forage.
This Zhang Han had already thought of it, but he was still a little dumbfounded, where does this look like he was going out to encircle and suppress the marrow eater? It is more like a group of sons and brothers competing with each other to see who is more arrogant and domineering.
In addition to helping the pioneer battalion carry the flag, inserting a few street signs along the way, and being responsible for running errands to speed up the march, Chu Danchen did not assign any whimsical tasks to Zhang Han, nor did he order him to return to the original brigade, Zhang Han simply stayed by her side and did not leave.
"Great Commander, there is a mountain over there, will there be an enemy?"
"There are mountains everywhere here, and there are enemy scouts who will come back to report it, why don't we send you to reconnoitre?"
"Don't you, Grand Commander, don't you think this place is eerie and unusual?"
"Nonsense, this is a primordial demonless area, can it not be eerie?"
"Commander, after the mountain in front of us, can we stop and rest for a while?"
"If you want to be lazy, just say it, and the Lordship will fulfill you. ”
"Archon, did you say there would be a moon tonight?"
Chu Danchen finally couldn't help it, his willow eyebrows were upside down, and he glared at Zhang Han and scolded angrily: "Do you still want to be lazy? Even if it's midnight now, you can't sleep, and if you don't speak, no one will be dumb!"
......
Zhang Han admitted that it was a pleasure to see Chu Danchen angry, but in order not to leave too much bad feeling for her current self in her heart, he still had to pay attention to proportionality when he teased her.
After noon, the pace of the march began to slow down, and it was said that because the scouts sent back to report that they had found an unusual smell, Sima Heng, the head of the camp, ordered the march to slow down, and the team spread out in a fan shape, searching along all sides of the rugged primeval mountains, and released dozens of demon-chasing falcons with a keen sense of smell to hover in the air to watch.
Zhang Han followed Chu Danchen up the mountain, and tracked along the top of the mountain for most of the day along the peak of the dense forest, but found nothing.
Originally, I thought that I was going to meet the legendary marrow eater in a narrow way, and everyone in the demon slaying team was so excited and nervous that they were grinding their fists and palms, ready to do a big job, but in the end, everyone was angry.
For the sake of prudence, Sima Heng ordered the army to continue its slow search and advance in the direction of Qilian Mountain.
In the evening, we advanced to an open mountain plain, surrounded by gloomy woods, and the distant mountains towered with dark hideous mountains, adding a bit of desolation and eerie.
It was rare to encounter a good terrain, and the camp manager did not issue any orders, so the teams set up camp on the spot.
Chu Danchen did not explicitly say that Zhang Han could return to the original team to set up camp, of course Zhang Han still did not leave, and directly set up the Jieye tent next to her Yinbei.
Zhang Han said in his heart, it turns out that he can get close to Chu Meiren in this way, which is really a bit unexpected, it seems that all this is all providence. I couldn't help but feel secretly proud.
But not long after he was excited, Chu Danchen found an excuse to drive him away. First of all, he ordered Zhang Han to check the placement of the camp's mounts, and then deliberately set up a temporary sentry in a jungle about a few hundred zhang away from the pioneer camp.
There are only two demon soldiers at the sentry and one demon man in the forest, plus Zhang Han.
Chu Danchen's pioneer camp is about 200 people and demons, many of whom are disciples of the Eight Famous Sects and the Eight Great Strange Sects. As for Zhang Han, the Royal Forest Demon with a Grade A Shence Demon Hero waist card, he basically disdained it, and he didn't even bother to say anything to me.
Because, in their bones, the identity of a famous disciple of a strange sect is much more noble than that of a royal forest demon.
Zhang Han is happy to be pure, it's best if they don't talk to themselves, these slump kids, they still dare to beat Chu Danchen's idea, they really don't know whether to live or die!
After staying on the sentry for an hour and not finding anything, Zhang Han simply turned over and jumped on a tall ancient tree next to the sentry, urging the dynamic transformation of the demon technique, learning chaos and taking dozens of long wild vines to entangle the whole body, closing his eyes and cultivating.
The night is dark, the cool breeze is blowing, and the oblique moon is in the forest, which is a good time for cultivation.
The "Realm of Consciousness" first spreads out from outside the body, locks the abnormal movement of things around it, and then uses chaos alchemy to refine the true qi over and over again. Half an hour later, then turn the cultivation mantra of the phaseless demonic power, and drive the phaseless demonic power to gradually circulate and practice inside and outside the body.
Gradually, he felt that his body and heaven and earth were one, and when his essence, qi, and spirit entered a new and indescribable realm, Zhang Han naturally remembered another secret technique of chaos - "Sleep Zen"
Chaos relied on cultivating "Sleeping Zen" to avoid the damage of a variety of powerful poisonous spells and spells that Xiao Yueshen had exerted on him, I don't know where the mystery of this Sleeping Zen was? All of Chaos' demon cultivation was just before "Sleeping Zen" had been learned, and it was time to get involved.
With curiosity, Zhang Han's mind began to silently think of the cultivation method of "Sleeping Zen", but after only reciting the first few sentences, he began to feel that his head was big, and this "Sleeping Zen" method was too profound, and he thought about it for a long time, but he had no clue at all.
Suddenly, the "Realm of Knowledge" fluctuated slightly, and Zhang Han immediately noticed that something seemed to be wriggling in a bush twenty zhang away.
"Knowledge" turned to the bushes, and a curled black-bodied humanoid creature appeared in Zhang Han's mind, with long and thin limbs, shaggy hair covering the whole body, and a short, curly tail.
What is this? Could it be......
Zhang Han was shocked in his heart, the black-bodied figure had already felt the capture of it by his consciousness very cleverly, and the ghostly red eyes alertly cast a glance at the top of the tree where Zhang Han was, and the figure slid outward like a ghost retreating, breaking free from Zhang Han's consciousness lock, spreading its wings behind it, and with the help of jumping, it swept silently into the depths of the jungle.
Zhang Han was taken aback, the "realm of consciousness" is a colorless, formless, and substantial extension of the mind, and this monster can be easily detected, what is it? Could it be a marrow eater?
