When the sky is beginning to light.

The foothills of the east exude a touch of fish white, the clouds in the sky look as fine as wool dyed with strange colors at the edges, and the air smells peculiar to the deep mountains and old forests—not that fresh, but a lingering musty smell.

Liu Qiyue opened his eyes, stood up, and looked at the eastern sky, with a sense of solemnity in his eyes.

"They're gone?" Mu Shaobai appeared beside him and said in a low voice.

"It should have been half an hour." Liu Qiyue said.

"Aren't you worried?" Mu Shaobai asked.

"Worried about them being killed by the Shadow Tiger? No, I'm more worried that Xiao Di killed the Shadow Tiger's guys, so it's hard to explain! Liu Qiyue shook his head.

"You're saying, aren't you worried that you won't be able to explain to the sect master when you go back?" Mu Shaobai said: "Deliberately let go of the target that the sect master asked to monitor? ”

"Really? I was just too tired after the big battle to notice them leaving. Or should we go after it now? But in which direction? Liu Qiyue made a blank look and looked around.

"yes, which direction should I go after? Brother Yi, do you know? Mu Shaobai smiled faintly and looked at Yi Youlian who was standing on the other side of Liu Qiyue.

"I don't know! In such a mountain forest, it is enough to have a shadow tiger to follow the target, as for us, the military situation on the front line is even more critical, although we only have 10,000 people, but the mysterious enemy will use the evil art of resurrecting the dead, we must tell the front finger, and let the front finger inform the royal family and the sect! This one thing is even more important! "The humble and gentlemanly Yun Gongzi rarely pretends to be confused with Liu Qiyue and Mu Shaobai.

Liu Qiyue and Mu Shaobai laughed in unison, and then sighed again.

"Alas, I don't know when I'll be able to drink with him again!"

"Go, target Bull Head Fort, Hurry Forward!"

"No!"

The Janissaries set off. No one asked where Tang Dou and his party went, and when they left, the soldiers were all awake, but no one stopped them, and no one asked. Those who understand will not stop it, but those who do not understand will believe in that line.

Friendship on the battlefield is so simple and straightforward.

After noon, three hundred miles away from the Praetorian Guard, Tang Dou and his party took the shadow tiger that followed them to a canyon.

It was a steep, almost cliff-like canyon. At the exit of the canyon is a long clearing of grass and reeds, which is extremely difficult to find, if it weren't for Bao's keen sense of smell, and Tang Dou's extremely delicate sense of breath, I am afraid that he would have missed this entrance.

From the exit of the canyon, you can see in the distance that there is another side of the same steep mountain wall.

The afternoon winter sun shone lazily on the clearing between the two mountain walls, and in the middle of the clearing was a very lazy-looking brown stream, lined with ancient willow trees.

The willows were so old that their branches spread all over the glade and the stream, and they formed a vault over the winding stream, and the brook was littered with dead willows and branches, and the willow leaves that completely covered the surface of the stream.

Maybe it's because the temperature in the canyon is warmer than outside, or maybe the willows have grown here for so long that they've adapted to the environment, and the winter will be over, and the leaves will still have a deep dark green glow.

The canyon is like a world of willow trees, and when a gust of wind blows through the canyon, the branches of the willow trees babble as if they are singing together.

The leader of the Shadow Tiger, Balov, was a master of the ninth level of gold, and followed Tang Dou all the way to the canyon with thirty of his men. Because the White Tiger Sect Master's order was very obvious, they never appeared, but they also secretly helped Tang Dou solve a lot of problems. There were several spies from other unknown forces who followed Tang Dou, and they were all killed by Shadow Tiger.

Because he didn't quite understand what Tang Dou and his party meant by suddenly leaving the Praetorian Guard, Barov didn't make a move immediately, but just followed with people all the time. After seeing Tang Dou and them enter the willow forest in the canyon, they also walked in.

In the forest and outside the forest, it seems that they are two completely different worlds. When I saw this willow forest outside, I just felt that it was old, heavy, and lifeless. But when Baroff and the others actually stepped into the willow forest, they found that this willow forest was even more evil than they imagined.

Yes, when Baroff entered the willow forest, the only word he could think of was evil.

Looking at these ancient willow forests in the forest, they appear darker, taller, denser, except for the occasional sound of condensation dripping from the stationary leaves, the whole willow forest is dead silent, after walking a little way towards the depths of the willow forest, the light disappears from the whole willow forest, the sunlight can not penetrate the dense willow leaves, it seems that even the air is condensed in the willow forest.

Although Baroff and the others had trained overnight vision, they couldn't see in such an environment where they couldn't see their fingers, so in desperation, he let his subordinates use the Shimmer Rune. It's a rune that can emit light and doesn't provide much light, but it's enough for the people of Shadow Tiger.

Under the light of the shimmering runes, the willow trees appeared denser and darker, and the willow branches spread out like demon arms. The twisted trunk was interspersed with huge cracks, like a grinning mouth.

Even the members of the Shadow Tiger, who had been trained and killed for a long time, couldn't control their nervousness at this moment, sweating on their foreheads, constantly looking left and right, their eyes rolling wildly, looking for an enemy they didn't know existed. The matter of tracking down Tang Dou and his party has long been impossible because Baroff finds that they have lost their way.

It was obviously just a straight road, but Barlov had no choice but to find that they were lost.

He didn't know what caused all this, and vaguely felt that he had fallen for Tang Dou's trick, but there was a special smell in the air, which made him unable to calm down and think, but they could only move forward, keep moving forward, towards the front where they didn't know the end.

I don't know when, the surroundings began to become noisy, and there seemed to be a strange murmur whispering in their ears, like those willows whispering something, unable to distinguish the words, but they could clearly feel the malice, anger, hatred, and cold emotions.

The path in the forest became very blurry, and every time you took a step, you had to choose a place to put your feet many times, otherwise it was as if you were going to be swallowed up by the tangled roots. For the first time, the people of Shadow Tiger felt so tired, as if they hadn't had a good night's sleep for a whole month, their legs seemed to be filled with lead, and every lifting of the heavy weight was extremely difficult.

When they raised their heads, under the light of the shimmering runes, the knobed and twisted trunks looked down on them like smiling faces full of malice and hideousness, mercilessly watching their useless struggle.

The crowd began to feel that everything around them was not real, that they were just trudging through a nightmare that they would never wake up from, with no end and no beginning. There is no birth! Didn't die.

I don't know how long it took, but when the strongest Barlov finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell in front of the root of a willow tree, everything seemed to have come to an end with death.

Or...... Not really.

The willow forest is still the same willow forest, dense, ancient, but not evil. The sunlight has not disappeared from the willow forest, although it is very faint, but you can still see things clearly. The air was a little muddy, but not heavy.

"What a wraith horn, what a lost journey! Sister Dongfang, I'll give you thirty-two likes! Tang Dou said with a hippie smile to Sha Yunyue, who put down the phantom horn.

If Barov had been awake, they would have found that they had not gone too deep into the willow forest at all, but they had only gone less than 100 meters deep. It's just that they're all asleep now.

"This leader is still very cautious, he has a few people left outside in case of emergency, and if they find out that the situation is not right, they will take action, and we will get out of here immediately! But after this step, it won't be so easy for the people of Shadow Tiger to keep up with us again! Ha, this guy is also stupid, he dares to follow a pure-blood elf deep into the dense forest, such a trick is really funny! Tang Dou lowered his voice and laughed.

"Kill them!" Red Fire Eyes Killing.

"Don't fight and kill at every turn, we are peaceful people. Remember, we've never known any Shadow Tigers, we've never known any stalkers, and we've never seen these guys. Got it? Tang Dou patted Chihuo's head and said.

"It's boring, okay, if you don't kill, you won't kill!" Chihuo pouted, and said with great pity.

"Let's go, we should go to Tianwu's camp to have a look!" Tang Dou touched all the supplies on the Shadow Tiger - of course, with this guy's greedy nature, he naturally wouldn't let go of the little money on others, although the Shadow Tiger didn't bring any property at all when he went out on the mission, but with Tang Dou's door-picking temperament, he didn't directly turn the other party into a bare pig, which was already giving face to the White Tiger Sect. What weapons and equipment, naturally, a piece of non-surplus was taken away.

"Boss, we sent it, this guy is a rich man, he actually uses a weapon made of black iron, and when it is melted, he can make a few black iron arrows for the boss!" Ah Bao, like Tang Dou, seeing Qian is no longer enough to describe this obese panda.

"Ah, I don't need this for the time being, anyway, I don't have much time to use black iron arrows now, I'll talk about it later. This is a big piece of black iron. Otherwise, make two watermelon knives for Bajie, so that she will also have a watermelon knife in the future, and kill all the way from Nantianmen to Penglai East Road? Tang Dou touched his chin and said incomprehensible words.

"Yes, yes! I want it, I want it! Chihuo nodded his head.

"Brother Tang, how can you take Sister Chihuo?" The elven beauty said angrily.

"Ah, what I just said to play, it doesn't count, it doesn't count!" Tang Dou sneered.

"Huh? You're lying to me again? "Chihuo is not happy.

"No, I just don't think the watermelon knife is majestic enough, why don't I get you a Daguan knife? Weigh 1,700 pounds? Tang Dou said with a smile.

"Okay, okay...... But I can't take it! "Not everyone has the weird strength of Tang Dou and Little Lori.

"Then there is no way, who told you not to take it?" Tang Dou looked pity: "You still use your nail palladium." Its practical nail palladium killing is not bad. The same can be ...... from the South Heavenly Gate."

"Kill all the way to Penglai East Road!" Chihuo laughed loudly, looking forward to such a day.

"Brother Tang!" Sister Dongfang was angry.

The group spoke, and gradually moved away. (To be continued.) )
