In the rocky valley, a small army was struggling to make its way. Although they are all agile, they leap left and right on the undulating, sharp and craggy rocks, and there is still a lot of weight on their bodies, and it is still very difficult for a long time.

"Rest in place!" Nanying looked at the sweaty soldiers, and felt helpless in his heart! Before entering the valley, no one could have imagined that this valley would be so difficult to walk, and most of the days have passed, and there are still endless white flowers and stones in front of me. Even the three hundred mountain people were a little overwhelmed, and the Han army was even more tired and half dead, and it was completely by relying on excellent physical fitness and tenacious psychological will to hold on until now.

"High wind! Are your judgments accurate? He frowned and said, "This damn valley is so long and rugged, is it really possible for enemy troops to pass through here?" ”

"General, it should be, right?" Gao Feng's face was also a little ugly.

"What? What should you call it should be? Nanying was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "How did you track it?" ”

"General, we judged the enemy's movements from the lodging of some branches and leaves and shallow footprints, and all the clues point here!" Gao Feng said helplessly: "But since entering this rocky valley, all signs have been eliminated!" There are no footprints, no trees, no clues, only rocks everywhere, and the last general is a little confused now! ”

"That's right!" He thought to himself, "Aren't you good at listening to sounds?" Is it possible to ......?"

"Fart!" Nanying was so angry that he flew away: "Ben will only be able to hear the movement on the flat ground for a few miles, and there are rocks everywhere here, how can you hear it?" Moreover, the enemy army is at least a day ahead of our army, separated by a mountain of more than ten miles, you let me listen to a ball! ”

"I'm not leaving!" He snorted angrily: "Release the Eye of Heaven, and send the best scouts to explore the way, if there are still ten miles left in this valley, our army will turn back immediately." Because even the enemy army would never be stupid enough to choose such a retreat route! ”

The eagle made all kinds of eagle dances in mid-air, and suddenly fluttered its wings and swooped down, and in the stunned eyes of everyone, it landed directly on the shoulders of the Sky Eye Warrior.

The Tianyan warrior met Nanying's puzzled eyes, but said happily: "The lord is relieved, judging from the eagle dance, you can go out of the valley at most three miles away, and there should be a dense forest outside the valley!" ”

"Oh! I see! Gao Feng wiped a handful of sweat: "No wonder the eagle just rose into the air and fell again!" ”

He turned his head and said, "General, since you are about to leave the valley, does the last general want to recall the scouts you just dispatched?" ”

"No, let them observe the situation outside the valley!" Nan Ying showed a thoughtful look: "Don't you think it's a little weird? It's been six days since we set off, and a few days ago, we still met the mountain patrol teams under the leaders of the various departments from time to time, but in the past two days, we haven't even seen half of the ghosts! For example, this stone valley ......"

He looked up at the sky above: "Isn't it too abnormal that the terrain here is dangerous, and there is no one to guard it?" And if there is an enemy army in ambush here, I am afraid that we will suffer a great loss! The reason why I think I might be chasing in the wrong direction is because there is no change in this place, which makes me hesitate! ”

Gao Feng nodded again and again when he heard this: "Then why don't you go to the valley to inspect the last general in person, and you will definitely be able to report the most authentic information to the general as soon as possible!" ”

Nan Ying looked at his figure that was gradually moving away, and said in a deep voice to Ma Jun, who was standing aside: "Pass the order, everyone hurry up and eat and rest!" If there is really a dense forest outside the valley, I'm afraid we still have to work hard! ”

"No!"

Three miles away is indeed the mouth of the valley, and outside the valley is indeed a forest.

It's just that this forest can only be described as a forest sea. When Nan Ying stood at the edge of the forest in person, even with his composure, he couldn't help but gasp.

Towering giant trees that stretch as far as the eye can see, reaching a height of several or even ten zhang, seem to be connected to the sky, and even the towering mountains in the distance are mostly obscured. The entire forest is covered by layers of foliage, barely half of the light can penetrate, and from the edge of the forest, the eye can only reach a few steps into the forest, and beyond that, there is endless darkness.

A cold wind blew through the forest, making a terrible whimpering sound, and in an instant, this unfathomable primeval forest seemed to be gloomy, as if it contained countless fierce beasts and ghosts that wanted to choose people to devour, making people shudder.

Gao Feng smiled bitterly: "One good news and one bad news!" The good news is that we've finally found a lot of footprints on the mud between the rocky valley and the forest again, proving that we are not wrong in the direction we are following; The bad news is that it's impossible to successfully follow the clues in such a dark forest, and it is a blessing from heaven to not lose your way, and it is even more foolish to search through this huge forest with hundreds of us! ”

"General, the leader of the mountain people has something to say to you!" A Han soldier led a strong man to run over.

"Oh! It turned out to be the leader of Li Jiu! Nanying recognized it as the leader of Chu Yan's subordinates, and he was also the leader of the three hundred mountain warriors who participated in the battle this time.

"General, don't go into the forest to pursue!" Li Jiu said a little anxiously: "This seems to be the legendary Taihang Mountain Jedi!" ”

"Taihang Mountain Jedi!" Nan Ying and Gao Feng were taken aback together: "What the hell is it?" ”

"I heard the old people say that there is a Jedi forest in Taihang Mountain, and those who enter it will die!" Li Jiu said with a solemn face: "It's just because no one has ever been able to come out alive!" For many years, no one in all the mountain people of Taihang Mountain dared to approach here! ”

"No wonder we haven't seen a single one these days! Why didn't you say it earlier? Gao Feng blurted out: "Li Jiu, I heard that you are a native of Taihang Mountain, since you know that this place is dangerous, why didn't you remind us earlier?" ”

"This Taihang Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, and the villain has never been here. It was only after passing through the Rocky Valley just now, and seeing such a vast forest sea here, that the villain suddenly remembered this legend. Li Jiu said abruptly: "Fortunately, we haven't entered the forest, and it's not too late to say it now!" ”

"Got it, it's not your fault!" Nanying waved his hand and said, "You go down first, and Ben will think about it in the long run!" ”

He kept watching Li Jiu's figure disappear before he perked up and said, "It seems that we have found the right place!" Li Jiu said that no mountain people dared to approach this Jedi, so the footprints found outside the forest could only be left by the murderers, and they did enter the forest! ”

"Jedi? General, isn't it really that suspenseful! Gao Feng was a little skeptical and said, "Since no one came out alive, how could those traitors dare to enter easily?" ”

"You don't listen to that Li Jiu's nonsense and the mythical story!" Nan Ying said disdainfully: "Of course, when ordinary people enter the forest, the mortality rate is still very high, either because they lose their way and die of hunger and thirst, or because of the invasion of poisonous insects and beasts!" ”

"So what do we do?" Gao Feng said with a sad face: "This poisonous insect beast is easy to handle, but if it really loses its way, it will be miserable!" Although you have taught us all kinds of ways to find our way in the jungle, there is not even a little light in this forest, and trying to find out the direction through the sun and the stars, and the shadow clock method you taught will not work! ”

"It's not that scary!" Nan Ying took a closer look at the dark forest: "Now when we look from the outside, it is indeed unfathomable, this is because of the illusion of the contrast between the intensity and weakness of the light!" As long as you enter the forest, wait until your eyes adjust to the luminosity of the forest, and you can see the road ahead! ”

"What's more!" He smiled and patted the short knife hanging from his waist: "Ben will have a secret weapon, and he will definitely not lose his way!" ”

Gao Feng's eyes lit up and shouted, "Yes! It's the ...... hidden in the hilt."

He stopped suddenly, as there was a steady footstep behind him.

"General, the last general has a suggestion!" Li Jinda walked over, his face solemn: "Now the situation is unknown, the brigade must not venture into the forest." The last general asked to organize an elite team with Orion background and experience in the mountains and forests to go into the forest first to find out the path and make signs along the way for the brigade to pass safely! ”

"Well said!" Nan Ying patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Ben will count you as one!" ”

"Count me in? What does that mean? Li Jin said dumbfoundedly: "The last general has been a hunter for many years and has rich experience, of course I have to lead the ......team."

"Haha! You don't have to set up a thunderbolt here! Gao Feng laughed and said, "You still dare to brag about your experience in the mountains and forests in front of the general?" There is a general, is it your turn to lead the team? ”

"What! Admiral, this! Li Jin's eyes flashed with shock, and he couldn't help but look at Nan Ying at a loss: "The general actually plans to take risks in person?" ”

"That's it! You go and give an order, and Cao Xing will temporarily lead the whole army to garrison here! Ben saw a spring at the mouth of the valley, which is the best camp! Nanying smiled and said, "Let people prepare enough dry food and drinking water, choose a few good crossbows, and prepare more arrows." An hour later, you, me, Gao Feng and Gan Ning, just the four of us went in! ”

"Bring a Sky Eye!" He turned his head to Gao Feng and said, "Regardless of whether this forest is a legendary Jedi or not, we must prepare for the worst!" ”

"General!" Gao Feng hesitated, "Are you really so eager?" Why don't you use the eye of the sky to summon the beast camp? They were only ten days away from Taihang Mountain, and once they arrived, this forest would be ten times bigger! ”

"That's easy! Ten days away from Taihang Mountain? Plus into the mountain, it will take at least half a month! Nanying shook his head and sighed: "And Ben General, what is most lacking now is time!" ”

He ignored Gao Feng and Li Jin with stunned expressions, turned around, and stared at the distant sky in a daze. Yes, it has been more than half a month since I left the imperial capital, and I can't waste precious time anymore! There are still forty days at most, which is the day of the arrival of the gods predicted by Zhang Jiao, and we must rush to solve all the events in Taihang Mountain before that!
