Chapter 90: Sunrise
The Liang army was trapped in the moonlight pine forest and couldn't find a way out, and someone proposed to set fire to the forest, and was immediately scolded by the leader of the Liang army.
"Burning the forest, aren't you dying fast enough?" The leader of the Liang army asked.
After the general was scolded, he was a little ashamed.
When he didn't give up trying to find a way, he quickly put forward another idea: "If burning the forest can't work, then we can cut down trees, and we can use cutting trees to change the terrain, maybe we can get out of this weird jungle." ”
"It's an okay idea, but it's a waste of time." The other generals on the side commented.
"Cutting down trees?" The soldier, who immediately had experience in chopping wood, retorted: "These pine trees are not very old, and the thinnest ones are thigh-thick, and you think that cutting trees is too simple. ”
"That's right." Others chimed in: "Cutting down trees requires special tools, our swords are too sharp, they will curl their edges after two slashes, and spears are useless." ”
"What then—"
Not only this deputy general, but many soldiers in the Liang army were also confused.
They are always on guard against invisible enemies, and they are only beaten, and they have no ability to fight back, which makes everyone very depressed.
"Let's go to the pool and have a look." The leader of the Liang army could only walk back with people, and he remembered the first time he marked the trees, he walked from the clearing into the pine forest, so if he took a few steps back, he should be able to return to the clearing.
Sure enough, Liang Jun returned to the huge clearing with seven waterholes without much effort.
The fog from the waterhole was constantly blowing into the jungle, and the fog in this clearing was very light. You can vaguely see a huge ice shield still standing in the center of the waterhole, which is used to protect the strange trees floating in the water.
The generals of the Liang army guessed that the strange tree was the weakness of the mysterious man, but it was dangerous in the water, and he could not swim in the center to destroy the ice cover.
The Liang army was in a dilemma for a while.
"General, if there is really no way, let's fight with him." An adjutant suddenly walked up to the leader and whispered.
"......" The leaders of the two armies frowned.
This person's words are very real, if you can't think of a way, then don't think about it, and go directly to the water with the whole army to fight with the other party.
Thousands of people will be able to break through the blockade and swim to the middle of the pool.
"So there's nothing you can do?" The leader of the Liang army asked himself in his heart.
Behind the Liang Army, Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling were still well hidden, and they were not discovered by the Liang Army.
"I don't think there's anything he can do, and then he'll either stop and wait for dawn, or he'll just get out and rush into the pool to destroy the shapeshifting fruit trees at any cost." Ye Youhuan analyzed.
"Why did he have to destroy the shapeshifting fruit tree, the one he fought against was obviously a mysterious person, what does it have to do with that fruit tree." Zhong Ling was surprised.
"You know, I know, and so does the mysterious man." Ye Youhuan explained: "But the Liang Army doesn't know that the source of their mysterious person's power is the shape-shifting fruit tree, so they will do everything they can to destroy it. ”
"What a bunch of fools." Zhong Ling couldn't help but complain.
"It's not good to be stupid." Ye Youhuan said: "The more stupid our opponent is, the better, so that I can easily defend Yepi Pass." ”
"What's the point of just guarding the gates?" Zhong Ling reminded: "You promised Duke Jinyu to help her restore the country, can you do it?" ”
"With my eldest cousin helping me, is there anything I can't do?" Ye Youhuan put his shoulder on Zhong Ling's shoulder and said intimately.
"Hey, hey, don't be so close, isn't your princess's fiancée jealous?" Zhong Ling warned, but did not move his shoulders away.
"What can they do if they eat their vinegar!" Ye Youhuan said nonchalantly.
"Do you think they can destroy shapeshifting fruit trees?" Zhong Ling was a little worried.
"If they could, they wouldn't have gone back to help."
Although the Liang army has a large number, Ye Youhuan is not optimistic about them.
After answering Zhong Ling's words, he reminded Zhong Ling again: "Instead of caring about the shape-shifting fruit tree, you should think about us." ”
Zhong Ling's face was puzzled.
Ye Youhuan then said: "Not only did the Liang army not get out of the pine forest, but the two of us were also tied up. ”
"You're worried about this!" Zhong Ling asked incredulously.
"That's right." Ye Youhuan said.
"There's nothing to worry about." Zhong Ling said: "After the Liang army is destroyed, let's come out and negotiate with the master here." ”
"Do you really think that the owner of this place is a vegetarian?" also reminded: "Have you paid attention to the shore of Tianji Pond, which is full of bones." ”
"If he's a humanoid like me who eats the shapeshifting fruit and turns from an animal, if he's my own kind, then he shouldn't be hostile to us." Zhong Ling said.
"That's your own wishful thinking." Ye Youhuan said: "Maybe the other party heard that you and I have eaten the transformation fruit, and thinks that eating us is beneficial to the body, and then it is possible to want to eat us." ”
"No, it won't." Zhong Ling couldn't understand Ye Youhuan's words at all.
Ye Youhuan grew up in the market and was used to seeing the weaknesses of human nature.
Therefore, Ye Youhuan never trusts anyone easily, and he will not feel strange no matter what incredible things the people around him do.
After observing for a while, Ye Youhuan and Zhong Ling found that Liang Jun was resting in the open space.
Zhong Ling was curious: "Will they wait for dawn here as you said?" ”
"I guess, if it were me, I would." Ye Youhuan affirmed Liang Jun's approach and said: "When the day dawns and the sun is sufficient, the fog in the pine forest will naturally disappear, so what is there to worry about, just wait for dawn here!" ”
"And what if they come back with reinforcements?" Zhong Ling said worriedly.
"As long as we follow them out of the mountain and return to the city pass, will these people still bring a large army to this deep mountain and old forest to provoke a hidden master?"
"Probably not." Zhong Ling replied to Ye Youhuan's words.
"Definitely not." Ye Youhuan said: "The Liang army has only lost a few hundred people, and for an army of tens of thousands of people, the soldiers lost here are simply fur. The people that the Liang army hates more are us, and God knows how many officers of the Liang army we killed tonight. ”
"As long as we go out of the mountain, won't they come to trouble the shapeshifting fruit tree?" Zhong Ling confirmed to Ye Youhuan.
"Don't worry." Ye Youhuan comforted: "Even if they don't let go of this one in the mountains, we can attack the Liang army again, making the Liang army hate us even more and ignore the attacks encountered here." ”
Zhong Ling listened to Ye Youhuan's words and felt a lot more relieved.
She and Ye Youhuan waited patiently together, and the time passed minute by minute, but the sky still did not change.
Liang Jun also discovered this, the sky should have been lit up a long time ago, but why is the moon and stars still hanging in the sky, and why hasn't the sun risen?
