Chapter 256: Xiong Tianshen's Intentions
Zhou Ming didn't know what medicine was sold in the Xiongtian Ember Gourd for a while, but he soon discovered that the so-called "my route" was actually a very circuitous route.
Originally, crossing the grassland was the closest route, but Xiong Tianyan actually gave up this opportunity to return to the camp as soon as possible, regardless of his injuries, and instead chose to go around in a big circle that seemed very unwise.
"Is there something wrong with this person's brain? At this time, he looks like he doesn't care about his own situation, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?"
Zhou Ming was confused, and his heart was full of suspicions, but he didn't ask much, and behaved like a low-level soldier loyal to the Savior. He believed that Xiongtian Ember must have a deep-seated plan to do this.
Soon, though, he found some clues.
Xiongtian Ember is actually deliberately bypassing the legions of the Roaring Kingdom?
When the black and oppressive birds of prey in the sky passed through, Zhou Ming realized that a real international war had broken out. Now that the Beast Soul Masters have been dispatched, there is no reason why the army of the Roaring Kingdom should not follow up quickly.
At this moment, the major legions of the Roaring Kingdom entrenched in the area of Hornrock City were marching rapidly, like a wild torrent, across the grassland, approaching the Ghost God Mountain.
"There was no wind at all before, how did such a large-scale operation suddenly break out?"
The so-called see the subtle knowledge, take a peek and see the whole leopard. Zhou Ming was deeply confused in his heart, and he was a little confused about the situation for a while.
"The army is out!"
Xiong Tianyan couldn't help but sigh, his eyes narrowed into a line slightly, but his heart was open, he endured the pain on his body, and muttered: "The gate of the realm in the Ghost God Mountain, did it suddenly appear in the sky? It's really unexpected!"
Hearing these few words, Zhou Ming's heart suddenly brightened, and he realized that it was the gate of the realm in the Ghost God Mountain that suddenly appeared.
This was a completely unexpected change, and it can be said that the situation in the Ghost God Mountain took a sharp turn for the worse in an instant. According to the information that Zhou Ming originally knew, the gate of the realm in the Ghost God Mountain was conservatively estimated to take another year before it would break into the void.
The war between the two countries, the battle for the realm, suddenly kicked off completely.
Zhou Ming's heart couldn't help but be restless. Kingdoms, Wars, Realms...... Although the mountain will become a Shura field, there is no doubt that it will also be the cradle of heroes and legends.
In the face of the magnificent historical trend, Xiong Tianyan's mood at the moment is very bleak. Originally, he should have been a star galloping on the Ghost God Mountain, but today, on the day when the war officially began, he suddenly became gloomy and lost, and became a salted fish that was struggling to breathe.
What he is thinking about now is no longer a grand ambition, to make a name for himself in the Ghost God Mountain, to create meritorious deeds and prestige, but how to save his life and how to restore his health as soon as possible and better.
If not, how could he endure the pain, take the risk and choose a detour, deliberately avoiding the route of the army.
He was going to return to the barracks as secretly as possible.
As far as he knew, in the stronghold of the Iron Roaring Legion, there were many treasures in the treasure house, which had always been tightly sealed, and there were no less than three of them that were beneficial to his injuries.
Those precious pills, if they were on weekdays, even if he was a dignified deputy army commander with an extraordinary background, it would be impossible to use them easily. No, it can't be used at all without enough credit.
But now it is different, the army has already attacked, and the big men are no longer in the camp. He went back at this time, and with his status, it was not a problem at all to enter the treasure house.
As long as he is allowed to go in, hum, then he can only say that he is welcome.
Zhou Ming didn't expect that Xiong Tianyan actually had such an idea, if he knew about it, he would definitely laugh from ear to ear.
Is there anyone more eager to enter the treasure trove of the Iron-Blooded Roaring Legion?
In this way, Xiong Tianyan dragged on for most of the day, twists and turns, and finally returned to the legion camp.
At this moment, the camp of the Iron-blooded Roaring Legion was already empty, and it looked like people were going to the empty building, only some wounded soldiers and logistics miscellaneous personnel were hovering here, taking care of the camp. Other than that, only a few dozen soldiers and a single officer were left to guard the camp.
As soon as he returned to the camp, Xiong Tianyan wanted to leave Zhou Ming alone, and then go to the warehouse alone. What he was going to do next was really a bit frustrating, so he didn't want anyone else to know, at least, not so quickly.
"Okay, you ......"
Xiong Tianyan commanded, struggled twice, and was about to get off Zhou Ming's body.
Zhou Ming didn't know where he was going, but he thought to himself, this time he couldn't be busy in vain, right? Anyway, he didn't have the slightest good impression of Xiong Tianyan, and he just wanted to take advantage of it, so he couldn't help but have the idea of ripping off the bamboo in his heart.
Seeing that Xiong Tianyan actually promised a painting cake and wanted to leave him alone, he was unhappy in his heart, so he fiercely hooked the evil power on this son's body.
The instantaneous riot of the evil force was like a blow to the head, which made Dexiong Tianyan's spirit darken, and he almost lay on the ground.
"Are you alright, sir?"
Zhou Ming pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly reached out to help.
Xiong Tianyan lowered his head and vomited a mouthful of blood, trembling like chaff, he didn't expect his condition to be so dangerous that he had lost his ability to act, his face suddenly turned bleak as if he was a hungry ghost, and he looked at Zhou Ming in embarrassment and said: "Chen Fan, take me to the warehouse, hurry, hurry!"
After this delay, Xiong Tianyan realized that he had reached the point where his life was on the line. In order to survive, he did not care about being seen in the treasury for his shameless behavior of wantonly embezzling the Legion's treasures.
"To the storeroom?"
Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment, but finally understood, quickly picked up the Xiongtian Ash, and said in a low voice: "My lord, I have not been in the army for a long time, dare to ask how to go to the warehouse?"
I carried Xiongtian Ember for most of the day, but there was no moment when Zhou Ming's strength could be as strong as it was now.
The munitions depot, that is the place that Zhou Ming wanted to enter in his dreams.
Xiong Tianyan lay on Zhou Ming's back softly, and forced himself to guide Zhou Ming, and after a while, the two came to a well-guarded stone hall.
Almost two-thirds of the sergeants guarding the camp were stationed here, divided into three squads, surrounding the stone hall, and patrolled and guarded day and night.
Although this stone hall does not look very conspicuous, it is blessed by the beast array, and the spine, four corners, and even the ground of the temple have strange beasts specially sacrificed by the beast soul master, which cooperate with each other to form a beast array.
If you want to enter it, you must not only get the approval of the legion, but also hold a letter specially to open the beast formation, which has always been extremely safe.
In this hall, most of the treasures of the entire legion are sealed, and it is the greatest wealth of the legion, all kinds of weapons, elixirs, beast recipes, beast weapons, and even the beast soldiers who are sealed in it......
As soon as the two men arrived at the munitions depot, they were immediately stopped by one of them.
Although that person didn't recognize Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming recognized him, and it was suddenly Ma Qianqiu, the father of that Ma Lin. This person was a pioneer general in the past, but now that the war has begun, he has been left in the camp to guard, which shows that he is no longer powerful in the army. In the final analysis, the problem naturally lies in his good son. It was precisely because he abused his power for personal gain and caused the legion to suffer unnecessary losses that he was punished here to guard the treasury.
For Zhou Ming, this person can be regarded as an "old enemy".
"Military supplies are heavy, people stop coming!"
Ma Qianqiu fell into such an embarrassing situation this time, his mood was not false, and when he saw that someone was actually approaching the munitions depot, he immediately chilled the iron face, not angry but arrogant, glared at it, and roared when he opened his mouth.
The soldiers guarding around him were even more staggered, hissing, and surrounded these two embarrassed-looking figures in the blink of an eye.
