Volume 2 Counting the Edge and Revealing the Peak of the Martial Arts Chapter 409

So all the way along, along the grassy road, there were starving corpses everywhere, some of which had turned into bones, some of which were just beginning to decompose, and in short, there was nothing but dead people and inedible weeds.

Niu Eighteen ran for a long time and didn't see anything moving, and he even wondered if the people and animals here were all dead?

He has the strength of his body, but he can't even find anything to eat, so what is the use of this body's strength?

Niu Eighteen felt that his stomach was getting more and more hungry, so hungry that he broke out in a cold sweat, and his whole body was weak, he didn't expect that he had gone through a lot of hardships and endured such a big test, and in the end he would be starved to death?

He was not willing to accept this absurd fate, so he ran on, determined to find something to eat.

But having said that, when he wanted to take a step forward and walk as fast as he had just done, he realized that he could no longer lift those feet.

Unexpectedly, this body has not only become huge, but also consumed, as an ordinary person, even after hunger, at least a few days can endure, but his body, from feeling hungry, to now, it is only an hour or two, but he feels as if he has not eaten for a month, and his stomach is hungry, as if something is stirring his stomach and intestines, making him miserable.

Niu Eighteen was shocked, he felt that something was coming out of his stomach.

After a while, I saw Niu Eighteen open his mouth wide, "Wow! He spat out something.

When he looked closely, he was horrified to find that what came out of his mouth were those white worms.

He had seen these things a long time ago, and knew that they were called "Gu", and they would kill each other, and then eat the bodies of the same kind to become bigger "Gu".

But unlike the "Gu" he saw last time, this time the "Gu" that Niu Eighteen spit out did not devour their companions with each other, after they were spit out, they struggled on the ground for a while and then turned into a puddle of slime.

As these things melted, Niu Eighteen also felt something change in his body.

He was horrified to find that the flesh on his body was falling off piece by piece.

Fall

The pieces of meat on the ground, just like those "Gu", quickly turned into slime.

Niu Eighteen didn't expect that after he was hungry, his body would decompose itself, and if he continued like this, it wouldn't take long for all the meat on his body to fall off, and then he would be like those starving people on the side of the road, and the corpse would be in the wilderness.

Niu Eighteen panicked, he desperately wanted to get food to save his life, but this place within a radius of a hundred miles was a desolate place, there was nothing to eat, he didn't know what to do to survive?

So Niu 18 knelt on the ground and prayed loudly for gluttony, begging him to save himself.

I don't know if the gluttony really heard his prayer, but not long after, the silence was broken by the sound of a horse's bark, and Niu Eighteen was surprised to find that a man and a horse came not far away.

He quickly ducked into the dense grass.

Although his body was partially broken down due to hunger, it was also because of this that his consumption became smaller, and he was able to move again for the time being.

It seems that the characteristics of his body are like this, once he is hungry, every once in a while, the body will decompose a part to relieve the rate of hunger, which is different from the characteristics of human beings, proving that today's Niu Eighteen, not only has the mind been sold to gluttony, but the body structure is no longer human.

Niu XVIII, who was hiding behind the grass, saw the man on horseback approaching.

But the horse's natural instinct sensed that there was danger nearby, so when he reached the hiding place of Niu Eighteen, he said nothing and refused to go any further.

The man on the horse was a cavalryman, and he carried a bow and arrows on his back, and he was armed with a spear, and he rode on a horse.

Like him, even the soldiers in the county town can't compare, but Niu 18 recognized that this soldier's dress was the uniform worn by the cavalry in the army led by Jian Tu at the beginning.

Niu Eighteen didn't expect to meet Jian Tu's subordinates here, he knew that these people were not easy to mess with, although they guaranteed that Niu Zhuang would not be harassed by robbers or people from other places, but at the same time, these soldiers were also devils who ate people and did not spit out bones, once the people of Niu Zhuang could not pay their taxes, they would be beaten to death.

Therefore, Niu Eighteen's fear of them is no less than his fear of Cao Cao, and now that he meets this cavalryman here, Niu Eighteen is already trembling with fear.

The horseman on the horse saw that his horse was gone, and he did not know why he was leaving

At this point, he lost his temper, and he couldn't stop him from moving forward.

And at this moment, the cavalry noticed that there seemed to be some movement in the grass on the side of the road?

The horseman seemed to understand why his horse did not dare to go any further, and it seemed that he sensed something dangerous in the vicinity, so he refused his master's order and stopped his advance.

The knight scolded his mount and said, "Waste, the slightest movement can be scared like this, it seems that I will have to train you well when I go back!" ”

Having said that, the war horse under his seat said that he would not take a step further.

The knight had no choice but to dismount from his mount, pick up his spear, and walk over to see what was going on.

This knight should not have come to this desolate and remote place alone, but he had an important business to do, so he had to pass through here.

After all, there are many eyes and ears on the road, and what he does is a secret thing, so he chooses to take this remote and uninhabited path.

But when he was about to reach his destination, he encountered this strange thing, and his horse did not dare to go on.

To say that the war horses in the army are more precious strategic resources than ordinary soldiers, they are all strictly trained, can adapt to the cruel environment on the battlefield, and at the same time, the treatment in the army is also better than that of ordinary soldiers.

All this is to allow them to function normally in battle.

Therefore, these war horses are usually not frightened by a little danger, after all, they are all going to go to the battlefield, if even the slightest danger can discourage them, then these horses cannot be regarded as qualified war horses.

But there are always some exceptions to everything, and this knight, for example, has been in the army for many years, and has seen all kinds of war horses, and knows that they are also like people, with different personalities.

Although they have all been trained, war horses that are naturally less courageous are still prone to make mistakes and panic when they encounter danger.

It stands to reason that such horses are unqualified, and they should not be allowed to go to battle.
