_Chapter 55: Night Attack

The endless snow field seems to never end. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In a blink of an eye, half a moon passed. In more than ten days, Chu Chen has been to no less than 100 places, and the harvest is that he has more than a dozen signs on his body that mark the completion of this task.

There are many reasons why most of the locations have not been harvested, some have just been looted, some have just completed a mission, and there are even several places where there are military defenses.

Among these reasons, what interests Chu Chen the most is that there are obviously some villages or towns marked on the secret scroll that are not armed, but there are garrisons. This is indeed intriguing.

As the terrain deepened, the distribution of villages and towns became more and more sparse, and many times, there were no people for half a day or even a whole day.

In the snow, Chu Chen thought as he walked, in this vast world, he was a little confused about the direction for a while.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation behind him, and he hurriedly turned around, only to see Xiaoxiao's crying face, and his big black eyes looked extremely innocent.

"You, how good is my brother's back? I have to come down and walk by myself, now I know it's amazing, right? Lifting Xiaoxiao out of waist-deep snow, Chu Chen said with a smile.

"Oh, but Xiaoxiao still wants to go by herself, she can't move on her brother's back, and she is uncomfortable to death!" Xiao pouted, and then pointed to the snow pit that was gradually about to be buried: "Brother, hurry up, the little sword has fallen inside!" ”

Chu Chen shook his head helplessly, so he had to bend down and pick up a wooden sword, a small wooden sword with a small one, it was quite suitable.

Xiao Xiao, who was holding the wooden sword, became lively again, waving it and laughing.

Chu Chen looked up at the sky, it's not early, if he can't find anyone, he can only spend the night in this ice and snow, he doesn't care, it's just a little ten-year-old girl, it's too much of a crime.

"It seems that we still have to find a place to stay as soon as possible!" After thinking about it, Chu Chen looked around, and there was a dead tree not far away, and the thickness of the bowl mouth was particularly conspicuous in the flat snowy field.

"Tiny, don't run far!" With a greeting, Chu Chen walked towards the dead tree.

With a wave of his sword, he directly cut off the tree, and then the blue light swayed, and the sawdust flew all over the place. After a while, two simple sleds were made. Then, Chu Chen made two more pairs of wooden staffs.

After everything was done, Chu Chen beckoned Xiao Xiao back.

"Brother, what is this?" Looking at the sleigh in Chu Chen's hand, Xiao Qi said.

"Fun stuff, do you want to try it? This little one is yours, if not, my brother will carry you the same! Chu Chen smiled, and then began to teach Xiaoxiao skiing hand in hand.

Maybe it's because children are born to learn quickly, and after a while, Xiaoxiao was able to get rid of Chu Chen's help and ski on his own.

With the help of the sled, the speed of the journey was several times faster, and it didn't take long for Chu Chen to see the mountains in the distance.

"Xiaoxiao, slow down, don't get lost!" Seeing that Xiaoxiao was a little carried away and ran a little far, Chu Chen couldn't help but greet.

But before the words fell, an exclamation was heard, and the small figure quickly disappeared from sight.

Chu Chen's heart tightened, and he hurried over, only to see a big snow slope across in front of him, and under the snow slope was a small road, and the ruts on the road showed that a convoy had just walked by.

At this moment, a small cheer came from the snow slope, "Brother, it's fun, you hurry up and chase the little ......"

Hearing the little joyful laughter, Chu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, pushed hard, and chased after him like a fly.

For those who have lost their way, there is no better thing to do. The two of them sped along the trail, and finally, there was a faint laughter in the distance.

The two of them accelerated forward, and at the corner of the trail was sheltered from the wind, Chu Chen saw several carriages, and near the carriages, a group of people were sitting around the fire.

"Little brother, it's dark and snowy, how about stopping for a night and hurrying tomorrow?" As soon as Chu Chen stopped, a bold man threw a wine bag in the air.

Chu Chen took it, it was faintly warm, obviously, the wine inside was warm.

"Okay, you don't bother, the little brother will bother, this is the little sister." Chu Chen pulled Xiaoxiao out from behind him and said with a smile.

Xiao Di rolled his eyes and said after a while: "Hello uncles! ”

Hearing this, the person next to the fire was stunned for a moment, and instantly burst into laughter, "Little sister, do we look like uncles like that?" ”

"It's a little different, but compared to my brother, you're too old!" Xiao Xiao said that he was in trouble, and then hid again.

Chu Chen couldn't cry or laugh, came to sit down by the fire, and said apologetically: "Sister is stubborn, don't blame your big brothers!" ”

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, I look at the little girl so cute. By the way, why did the little brother and sister go on the road alone, this road is not so easy to walk. "One humane.

"The snow was so heavy that the two of us got separated from the group." Chu Chen thought carefully about the meaning of the person who spoke, and only replied half-truthfully.

The man was stunned, and then said: "If you don't dislike it, the two of you will go with us for a while, and it will not be too late to part ways after this period." ”

"Yes, yes, the commander of my family is ......" another person persuaded, and before he finished speaking, a cold voice sounded from behind him, "Shut up Little Four, don't talk nonsense." ”

A woman walked out, ordinary-looking and with a compelling coldness.

Chu Chen glanced at it for a moment and then withdrew his gaze, although the woman said something to stop it, it was not timely.

He clearly heard the word "commander", combined with the demeanor of several people, it was obvious that the civilian clothes on these people were just a cover-up, and they should actually be sergeants.

Although he guessed, Chu Chen didn't say anything, just nodded and said strangely: "You are so gracious, could it be that this road is dangerous?" ”

"This ......" everyone was dumbfounded, and they all looked at the cold-faced woman.

The cold-faced woman drank to herself, and said after a long time: "If you don't want to die, follow us through a level." With that, he let the next group of people come alone.

After a while, someone quietly squeezed his eyebrows, "Ignore her, woman, there are always a few days a month, you know!" ”

Chu Chen choked on a sip of wine in his throat, almost choking to death, what do I understand? I know what a fart, I'm not a woman!

Although he was speechless, Chu Chen couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going, big brothers?" What are the dangers on the road that make you so cautious? ”

"Hey, it's nothing, it's just that there is always a gang of bandits blocking the road and robbing, robbing some money and robbing some color when you are in a good mood, and killing dozens of people when you are in a bad mood. As for us, we went to Jueyan Pass, and this road came to an end. ”

Chu Chen was speechless again, how could he say it from this person's mouth, those bandits seemed to be good people. However, he was a little curious, why did he turn to the direction of Jue Yan Pass, could it be that this was to drive him to see Mo Yuhan's witch?

Shaking his head vigorously, Chu Chen felt a chill in his heart, he didn't want to see that woman so early, so he said, "How far is this place from the Absolute Goose Pass?" ”

"Three or five hundred miles, no more."

Chu Chen was dumbfounded, it turned out that he was already so close unconsciously. In other words, I'm afraid that the letters he sent to Jueyan Pass are still on the way, but I didn't expect people to be in front.

The night was unconsciously deep, and in the wind and snow, this windswept corner seemed to be exceptionally warm.

Next to the fire, Xiaoxiao couldn't bear the exhaustion anymore, and lay in Chu Chen's arms and fell asleep. It was Chu Chen himself, who was not sleepy at all, and it was quite interesting to listen to a group of men talking.

Finally, everyone was tired, and the voices gradually became quieter. Most of them rested, but two were left to keep vigil.

Chu Chen closed his eyes and secretly speculated on the swordsmanship, and the sound of small and even breathing in his arms kept coming.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and listened with his ears close to the ground. Seeing this, the night watchman was startled and listened carefully.

After a while, just when the night watchman thought that Chu Chen was making a fuss and was about to get up, suddenly his face changed greatly, and he pulled out his long knife and shouted loudly: "Enemy attack, hurry up!" ”

In just a few breaths, a group of people were ready, and sure enough, they were well-trained soldiers.

Chu Chen sat quietly on the side, without the slightest intention of getting up. He's done what he's supposed to do, and it's up to these people next, after all, Xiaoxiao is still sleeping, and besides, she needs protection too.

"Damn, how did it happen so coincidentally that an enemy was coming?"

"I hope it's just passing by, otherwise it's hard to say that there will be a bloody battle!"

Everyone was holding soldiers, their faces were sinking like water, and suddenly, Chu Chen said lightly: "Prepare for battle, your whereabouts should have been leaked." ”

"How is it possible, obviously ......"

One person was startled and was about to refute, when suddenly a "whoosh" sounded, and he saw countless sparks in the night sky breaking through the sky.

"Oops, everyone be careful, this is a deliberate interception!" The woman said coldly.

When the words fell, the flaming arrows rained down like rain, covering them in all directions. The crisp sound of "ding ding ding" continued, and the scene suddenly became lively.

In the face of this kind of attack without dead ends, Chu Chen couldn't stay out of the matter, swinging his sword scabbard and waving it non-stop. It's just that although he is fine, the situation of the others is not good.

"Be careful, if you can't do it, use the carriage to defend it." The woman said in a loud voice.

With the help of the carriage, the rain of arrows finally fell silent, although some people were injured in the battle, fortunately they were only slightly injured and were not serious.

At this time, Xiaoxiao had also woken up and was firmly protected by Chu Chen.

After a while, the sound of heavy horses' hooves sounded, and soon, more than 100 horsemen and bandits came over.

Neither side said anything, and as soon as they looked at each other, they fought. Because of the difference in numbers, coupled with the excessive amount of strength spent before, Chu Chen's side was suppressed to death.

Even so, those bandits were still unscathed, slowly wearing down the power of the target enemy. It seems that they want to settle the battle with zero casualties.

Seeing that he was in a difficult situation and was in danger, Chu Chen couldn't help frowning, and said in a low voice: "Xiaoxiao, can you protect yourself?" ”

"Yes!" Xiao nodded and walked out from behind Chu Chen, holding a wooden sword in his hand.

"Then be careful." Chu Chen smiled and immediately joined the battlefield.

Although there are many bandits, in terms of personal strength, most of them are just ordinary martial artists with three or five levels of the Quenching Body Realm, and they are not comparable to a star vein martial artist with amazing talent like Chu Chen.

With Chu Chen's joining, the originally destined battle situation was reversed in an instant. Everywhere the blue light passed, lines of blood spilled into the sky.

It didn't take long for the enemy to be wiped out.

Chu Chen put away his sword and inadvertently stepped on the hand of the bandit leader, as if he felt something, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he kicked the back of his head intentionally or unintentionally.
