"Whew!"
When the spear in Jiang Nianrui's hand pierced into the body of the last blood cow, the power of the black spirit bear's soul was immediately injected into it, and the blood cow screamed, and then its body burst open!
At this time, the surroundings are completely calm!
Everyone starts to rest in place and clean up the battlefield!
Jiang Xiaofan walked back with a gray ape at this time, and everyone greeted them when they saw this, Jiang Xiaofan glanced at everyone, and then asked, "Are there any casualties?"
Jiang Nianrui nodded and said, "Fifty-four people were slightly injured and two were seriously injured, but you can recover after taking a pill and recuperating in a few days." ”
"Okay, prepare two horses for a while, and they won't be on foot for a few days. Jiang Xiaofan said, and came to this battlefield filled with the smell of blood.
There were corpses of blood cows all around, but these corpses were without exception, without horns, soul stones, and demon pills, and even some fourth-level demon beasts, they couldn't even extract their blood.
Naturally, all of these went into Jiang Xiaofan's backpack.
Although everyone was curious, Jiang Xiaofan didn't explain too much, just cleaned up the battlefield, put all the corpses of these blood cows into his storage ring, and then found a place to interrogate the gray ape!
Jiang Xiaofan summoned a few sturdy big men, stood beside him with a battle weapon, and then suppressed the gray ape with coercion, making him afraid.
This gray ape is just a mere second-level demon beast, with no combat power, and when Jiang Xiaofan was treated in this battle, he trembled on the spot, and a few drops of urine spilled out.
Jiang Xiaofan stared at the gray ape coldly, and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, how did you get the blood ox over?"
The gray ape was still frightened, and he didn't even dare to speak.
If it weren't for the fact that this guy was still shouting "spare his life" just now, Jiang Xiaofan might have felt that this gray ape couldn't speak.
"Tell me honestly, I'll let you go after asking, if not......" Jiang Xiaofan raised his arm, and the huge body of the flame griffin appeared behind him, letting out a hiss.
A puddle of water appeared under the feet of the gray ape on the spot, and it hurriedly said: "The leader sprinkled special herbs on the grass where these blood cows roost at night, and then used special spices to lure them into madness and rush in this direction......"
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaofan was also a little amazed, this black ape leader is really powerful, he actually has this kind of ability!
In fact, Jiang Xiaofan knew that this mountain ape clan was just an episode of their journey in the Seven Peerless Mountains, and if they were solved, they would continue to embark on the march, so he didn't take it to heart.
This gray ape doesn't look big, so Jiang Xiaofan didn't have the intention of killing, but he was a little curious about whether this blood cow still existed.
So, Jiang Xiaofan continued to ask: "Are there any blood cows around here?"
The gray ape shook his head: "The blood cattle herd is only one group on the grassland in the north, and they have all been brought by us. ”
"Okay~"
Jiang Xiaofan's expression was a little disappointed, he paused, and then said to the gray ape: "You should be able to know your leader, go back and tell them that we are just going to the northern frontier to support the defenders, if we mess around again and let us miss the time, don't blame me for being rude, you know?"
In the end, Jiang Xiaofan's expression was fierce, wanting to scare and scare this gray ape, so that it would not have a long memory.
The gray ape nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know......"
"Let's go~"
Jiang Xiaofan waved his hand, and then several strong men got out of the way, the meaning was obvious, the gray ape took two steps back, saw that no one was stopping, and then turned around and ran.
What is it called letting go, this is.
In the blink of an eye, the gray ape had burrowed into the jungle canopy and disappeared without a trace, leaving only the fishy puddle of water where it had just stood.
After resting for a while, Jiang Xiaofan led everyone to walk in the direction of the camp.
Chu Heng and Mi Yan waited around the camp for more than an hour, watching the flames flickering in the jungle in the distance, and the sound of fighting was endless, and then gradually became smaller, and the light gradually disappeared.
After waiting for a while, with the sound of footsteps in the distance, I saw Jiang Xiaofan walking back with everyone.
How many people were there when they left, and how many people are still coming back now, the only difference is that some of them are more or less colored, and almost all of them are stained with blood.
Chu Heng and Mi Yan walked up quickly at this time and said, "What's going on over there?"
Jiang Xiaofan waved his hand and said with a smile: "A group of demon beasts, it has been solved, it is only four watches now, let everyone rest and rest, we have to rush tomorrow." ”
"Yes!"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaofan came back intact, Chu Heng's heart was also relaxed, they still had to hurry up, this night's rest time could not be wasted, so they hurriedly ordered to go down and let everyone continue to rest.
At this time, Jiang Xiaofan also returned to the camp with a few people, two of them were injured because they were hit in the blood herd and suffered internal injuries, one of them was Jiang Hui with wind element wings, and the other was a man in his twenties from the Qing family.
Jiang Xiaofan refined the elixir and sent it to the two of them, asking them to take it.
When everyone woke up from sleep, they were fifty or sixty percent fine, and everyone was relieved, and then prepared two war horses for them to travel.
At dawn, the army marched again.
......
If there is a book, it is long, and if there is no book, it is short.
The army traveled unimpeded, no one dared to stop it, and even along the way, there were few monsters.
In the evening, Jiang Xiaofan and the others walked through a grassland and came to a barren place.
The red sunset shone on the ground, and the yellow sand in front of me seemed to be still exuding a sultry heat wave.
Chu Heng stepped forward at this time, looked at the scene in front of him, and said to Jiang Xiaofan: "This is the Wusha Desert. ”
"Hmm!"
Jiang Xiaofan nodded solemnly, he knew that this place was a desolate place in northern Xinjiang, and with the current footsteps of 700,000 troops, it would take at least three days to cross this desert, which showed the large area of this desert.
There was yellow sand everywhere, and there was no trace of life, which made Jiang Xiaofan feel not very good.
Jiang Xiaofan thought for a moment and said, "Find a leeward place, camp and rest, check the dry food and water, and enter the Wusha Desert tomorrow!"
The military order was like a mountain, Jiang Xiaofan gave the order, and everyone began to get busy, and after a while, the camp tents were set up one after another.
Jiang Xiaofan was in the camp, spreading out the map, calculating the location and the route after that.
Every time he camps and rests, this is what Jiang Xiaofan must do, after all, this is the first time he has led troops to fight on such a large scale, and the opponent is strong, Jiang Xiaofan does not dare to be sloppy.
You must know that any one of his decisions will affect the lives of 700,000 soldiers!
After dark, except for the dozens of soldiers on patrol, the rest of the people fell asleep, and the candles were still bright in the camp.
Jiang Xiaofan used a medicine pestle to pound the blood horn into a medicinal powder, and then used it to refine the blood explosion pill.
The medicinal powder ground from a blood horn can refine a hundred pills, and a pair of horns is two hundred, and the blood horns harvested this time are more than 1,800 pairs, which means that more than 300,000 blood explosion pills can be refined.
However, the alchemy materials that Jiang Xiaofan brought were limited, and there was not much time, so refining 3,000 pills of this pill was already the limit.
While Jiang Xiaofan was refining, a black shadow swept into the tent, Jiang Xiaofan was pounding medicine, and asked without raising his head, "How is it?"
The jackal tapir stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand and grabbed the battle weapon prepared for him on the side, took a bite first, and then said: "I have investigated, within 300 miles ahead, there is no problem, and the normal march will be fine tomorrow." ”
"Okay!"
Jiang Xiaofan nodded.
In order to increase the speed of the march, Jiang Xiaofan asked all the soldiers to take off their weights and put them in storage rings, and they traveled quickly in simple clothes, and the speed would be at least thirty percent faster.
Jiang Xiaofan's only worry is that there will be danger on the road ahead, if there is an emergency battle, the soldier is simply dressed, it will be fatal, so he asked the jackal tapir to go to explore the route of tomorrow's march, and he has a good bottom in his heart.
......
The next morning, the yellow sand was swept up in the wind, and the dust swam around.
Before dawn, everyone had already woken up, after all, the Wusha Desert is an endless desert, the temperature is extremely high, and it is not safe in the night, so if you want to move forward comfortably, it is natural to set off as soon as possible.
"What, unload your seniority?" Mi Yan exclaimed, resounding in the tent.
Chu Heng stood aside, and when he heard Jiang Xiaofan's suggestion, he also frowned, he would not disobey Jiang Xiaofan's order, but Chu Heng was still a little hesitant about this risky behavior.
This proposal is indeed a good way to increase the speed of the march, but the reward is also proportional to the risk, and the risk is really too great if you take off the armor and equipment and encounter an emergency!
Jiang Xiaofan sat at the wooden table at this time and said: "We can send dozens of cavalry, in front of the team and a few miles to the left and right, if there is really danger, we can also detect it as soon as possible, make a response, and it will be fine." ”
"If Lord Jiang wants you to do this, I have nothing to say, you are the biggest in this army. Mi Yan looked unhappy, but he didn't object too much to Jiang Xiaofan's opinion.
Although this method is dangerous, Jiang Xiaofan's precautions are also good, although there are some risks, but it is indeed feasible, and Mi Yan really wants to increase the speed of the march, so he did not refuse.
Jiang Xiaofan had no objection to the two, so he walked out of the camp tent and issued his own strategic order for the first time in this military camp, except for some orders necessary for the march!
Although there are indeed some risks to Jiang Xiaofan's idea, but it has been recognized by most people, these days, the archers, light infantry are fine, and the heavy armor soldiers are all complaining, and they finally have the opportunity to fade their armor, and they are also happy.
Someone took the lead, so everyone also took off their clothes, Jiang Xiaofan watched everyone travel lightly, the sky was also bright at this time, Jiang Xiaofan gave an order, and everyone embarked on the road to the border again!
