Finally passed through the several miles of snake and insect valley, and the vanguard team was sweating profusely.

If it weren't for the protection of leather armor, it is estimated that there would not be a few people left now. Even with protection, there are many people who are bitten by mosquitoes, which is very itchy.

It wasn't until they got out of this pesky snake and insect valley that everyone had time to take out the ointment prepared in their backpacks and apply it, and then chew Artemisia annua according to the regulations, which is said to be able to prevent malaria.

Many people's armor is crawling with mountain locusts and spiders. Everyone cleaned up with each other before they were cleaned up.

But it's not without gains.

The road in the Valley of Snakes and Insects was not only much wider, but the poisonous snakes on both sides of the road were greatly affected, and most of the arrogant black flies were also wiped out.

The main forces in the rear will be much easier to walk.

The vanguard continued to advance, and more than once encountered hunting students along the way, and everyone was immediately shot and buried on the spot, leaving not a single person alive.

At dusk, I finally arrived at the planned campsite.

Soon, the main forces led by Hugu and Yang Xu, as well as Zhu Jaw's follow-up troops, also came to the camp.

The reason why Li Luo sent them all out was to train their ability to march and fight in the mountains.

At this time, it has gone deeper into the mountains for more than 60 miles, and half of the journey has been walked.

Eight hundred men will rest in the camp until midnight and set out at dawn.

Only use the food and water you carry, and you don't take off your armor in the tent at night, and try to choose a sunny and ventilated place.

However, it is still inevitable that some people will start to feel dizzy and nauseous.

When you come to such a deep southern mountain, it is impossible to completely avoid the miasma.

The so-called miasma is actually a large number of harmful gases and suspended microorganisms produced by the deep mountains and old forests due to the dampness and stuffiness, the decay of animal carcasses and fallen leaves. It is a natural biological weapon.

In ancient books, many people come to the southern mountains and are not accustomed to the water and soil, but it is rarely recorded that they will be unaccustomed to the water and soil when they go to the northern plains, which is also the reason.

The four generals and Zeng Du were a little worried. After counting, there were already more than a dozen people who were dizzy and vomiting. There are also some people who have been bitten by mosquitoes and also start to feel unwell.

It's only been a day in the mountains.

Zhu Jaw sighed: "Today, I know the difficulty of Wuhou's southern expedition. ”

Yang Xu said: "We are luckier than Zhuge Liang. After all, Shengfan is not as strong as Nanban. The mountains on this island are not as good as the 100,000 mountains in the south. ”

Wanyan Hu said: "I am the true ancestral land, and there are many deep mountains and old forests. But except for the cold, how can there be these miasma snakes and insects! Ta is abominable! ”

"This season is quite good, especially at the turn of spring and summer, and the miasma is rampant in the depths of the mountain, and even Shengfan will be afraid, thinking that it is a gods' practice." Zeng Du explained, "The best time is in winter. ”

Zhang Yong snorted, "When it comes to winter, we will go into the crackdown with great fanfare, kill them one village after another, and kill all these headhunters and cannibals." ”

…………

Just as the decapitation team crossed the mountains, the Tuoduo Mountain was already bustling.

By noon, almost all of the people involved in the alliance had arrived. Tuoduo Mountain, which is usually empty, has suddenly poured in more than 1,000 people today.

They are the pillars of each family and tribe, including patriarchs, family elders, and leaders. They are all characters with heads and faces in their own tribes.

Although it was an alliance to deal with the increasingly powerful Han people outside the mountains, they did not have the word alliance, they only had "sacrifice".

In the so-called "place where the mountain god descends", the mountain god is worshiped for the first time.

In this way, it is actually an important step for the tribe to become a nation. As long as there are several common "sacrifices", it is entirely possible for the various tribes that were originally not subordinate to each other and attacked each other to form a new nation.

All the patriarchs were gathered through the "Hui Sacrifice" for the sole purpose of killing all the overseas Han people who offended the gods.

In fact, the reason why Tuoduo Mountain has become a "sacred mountain" is not that it is tall. Rather, not only is there no mountain peaks on it, but it is also concave, like a huge bowl, which looks strange.

Because Mount Tuoduo is a "sacred mountain", no tribe is qualified to build a cottage on it. Not only that, but no one was allowed to live within a few miles of Mount Tuoduo, so as not to disturb the mountain god.

At this time, in the "big bowl" on the top of Tuoduo Mountain, more than 1,000 people have gathered, surrounding a tall statue.

The statue is a pig-faced monster with a face and a snake with hair, and a colorful body. There is a huge altar in front of the statue, and several living people have just been killed and sacrificed, and the heads of the people are arranged in the shape of a zigzag.

A group of sturdy men all over their bodies were dancing wildly in front of the altar, squeaking and screaming in their mouths, and there were nine high priests from all races, beating human skin drums and waving ritual tools made of human bones.

"The Han people from overseas have offended the great mountain god! Sons and daughters of the mountain gods, shouldn't you use your wrath to turn the cowardly Han people into sacrifices to the gods, and wash away our shame with their blood......"

A man with a big belly and a gorgeous crown of feathers on his head said loudly, his hands outstretched like a hen.

This person is one of the three major tribes of the Dongsheng clan patriarch Qua Wow, the title of Dongsheng King.

Another man, known as the Hundred-Legged King, also stood up with excitement, "Descendants of the Mountain God, it's time to stand together!" In any case, we must kill all the Han people first, and then ......"

After King Yuyu was captured and killed by Cui Xiuning, the three kings of Shengfan were left with only the Hundred-legged King and the Dongsheng King.

The hundred-legged tribe and the cave life tribe, one with centipede as totem and the other with bat as totem, are all large families with a population of more than 10,000.

Next, of course, is the competition for the position of "High Priest". The so-called high priest is actually the leader of the alliance. The crude truth that a snake can't be without a head, the students still understand. Without a big leader, nothing can be said to unite all the tribes.

There were more than sixty chiefs, some of whom supported the Hundred-Legged King, and some of whom supported the Dongsheng King. It was noisy until the afternoon, and it was not decided who would be the main priest.

At this moment, the sound of "snort" was suddenly heard, and then many people screamed.

"It's Han!" The stomach of the Dongsheng King was about to be pierced by a short arrow, and he looked at the figure that suddenly appeared not far away, and immediately roared.

This sacred mountain is deep in the mountains, why did the Han people come suddenly? Still touching their venue? The students didn't have time to think about it for a while, and they looked for weapons to organize resistance.

Unfortunately, they were completely unprepared. Today is to come to the festival, not to produce grass, so many people just carry simple swords, not even bows and arrows and throwing guns.

The decapitation team that had already raided the vicinity, the first round of blows was two hundred divine arm bows, fierce and dense short arrows, like a rain of metal, and a fierce baptism.

Along with the Divine Arm Bow, there were also six hundred bows. The students didn't expect the Han people to come here at all, they huddled together for a meeting, and there was not even a sentry under the mountain. In other words, Shengfan doesn't have this consciousness at all.

In this instant, there were five or six hundred dead and wounded, and a direct loss of thirty percent.

The 800 decapitation team was divided into three teams, and surrounded the raw people in the venue from three directions, attacking condescendingly. From the topography, the students are gathered at the bottom of the bowl, and the decapitation team is standing on the mouth of the bowl.

"Wind!"

"Put!"

"Draw the bow!"

"Shoot!"

Two hundred divine arm bows and six hundred and one bow kept shooting short arrows and feather arrows, which was simply slaughtering.

Shengban didn't even have a chance to rush up, so they were shot and killed in large numbers, they had no weapons to fight back, and they didn't have a chance to fight back.

After only a few rounds, more than 1,000 lives were either killed or injured. Terrible howls and roars filled the heavens and the earth, and many feathered arrows were inserted into the statue of the god with pig-faced fangs and poisonous snakes.

"Kill!" Zhang Yong threw down his bow and arrows, swooped down with a Mo knife in his hand, and killed the injured and undead Shengfan one by one.

Eight hundred soldiers also rushed down, and in the blink of an eye, more than 1,500 swords were mended.

They are not ordinary people, but the patriarchs, elders, and leaders of various clans, and they belong to the most powerful, capable, and brave middle forces in the clan.

Without them, Shengfan has lost his basic organizational skills, and it is difficult to make any alliances. It can only be broken by each and destroyed in turn.

Zhang Yong walked to the tall statue with his knife, and with a wave of his knife, he cut off the head of the statue.

"Cut off the heads of all the skulls and pile them into a Jingguan to deter the group." Tiger Gu ordered.

The decapitation team crossed the mountains and mountains, and was plagued by miasma mosquitoes, but in fact, it was already the end of the strong crossbow. Fortunately, Shengfan was not prepared for battle, and he was easily accounted for.

"Withdraw!" When the Jingguan was piled up, the decapitation team quickly withdrew.

Along the way, he kept encountering groups of students, but he didn't dare to get close to the attacking team, so he could only watch the team leave.

As time passed, more and more Shengfan tribes in the vicinity became aware of what was happening on Mount Tuoduo.

For a while, countless lives were frightened.

Under the attention of the great mountain god, more than 1,500 leaders of various ethnic groups were all beheaded by the Han people. Even the heads of the indesecrate idols were cut off and their bodies were overthrown.

Is...... It's horrible!
