Volume 3 The Two Capitals Chapter 56 The Secret Lair

The sunlight barely shines through the gaps in the dense foliage, casting a few dappled lights and shadows on the ground, like night pearls scattered in the darkness.

Although there were occasional birdsong sounds in the quiet forest, it was still difficult to hide the oppressive and dangerous smell in the air.

Several figures slid down the long rope hanging from the tall trees, vigilantly pointing their crossbows in the direction of possible danger, and only then did they quickly alternate to cover the way forward until the last man landed. From the movements of each person leaning sideways and lightening their steps, it is not difficult to feel their caution as if facing a great enemy.

Nanying gently cut off a long vine, allowing the cool and fragrant juice in the vine to sprinkle on his face and mouth, finally dispelling the last trace of drowsiness in his brain.

Although it was only half a day and a night to enter this huge primeval forest, everyone was terrified and tired. It's just because this place really lives up to the name of the Jedi.

In half a day, they had been attacked by fierce beasts three times in a row, and although with the keen senses and strong strength of the four of them, they had all survived the crisis without danger, but it also made them move as slowly as a snail.

And after falling asleep at night, the four of them almost fell into a state of no return. For fear of exposing their targets, they did not dare to make a fire, but dozens of wolves took advantage of the cover of night to quietly surround them. If it weren't for the turn of the Southern Eagle to keep vigil, he could hear the movement from a distance with his extraordinary ear power, and wake everyone up to shoot back the wolves like flying locusts, and the four of them were afraid that a catastrophe would come.

After such a thrilling battle, the four of them no longer dared to live on the ground, so they had to climb a giant tree for the night, but they also alarmed a giant python that was about to wake up from hibernation.

When the giant python was killed, the four of them were almost too tired to move, and once again learned the so-called Jedi horror killing machine.

Nanying shouted bad luck, but also in his heart, how could the python, which was supposed to only inhabit warm areas, appear in the northern mountains in winter? It seems that my own empiricism can no longer be applied to this incredible world! The Black Tiger, the Golden Eagle, the terrifying giant beasts on the Xianyang Plain, and the giant python that should not appear in the north, these inexplicable existences, do they indicate that they have successfully caused the butterfly effect? Or is the land from which he came no longer the earth he is familiar with?

Looking at the still endless jungle ahead, Nan Ying touched the pistol in his arms, and a trace of regret flashed on his face, it seems that these last eight life-saving bullets will be used here if they don't do well!

Do you need to be diverted? There was a hesitation in his heart. In fact, following the direction of those murderers, the ground has been trampled out of a passage that can barely be called a road, and it can be seen that this is by no means an overnight achievement. On this point, the four of them had some deliberation, and finally unanimously agreed that although they could avoid the attacks of many fierce beasts by continuing to track the murderers, they were very likely to be discovered by the hidden piles set up by the enemy along the way, so that the operation to spy deep into the tiger's den was a failure. In the end, the group decided to follow the right direction and venture through the dense forest a hundred paces away from the side of the passage.

As we go deeper, we can gradually find some traces left by humans, such as long-abandoned hunting traps, fire-making piles, and broken and rusty logging axes......

Nanying was extremely puzzled in his heart, since this place is so dangerous, how did the thieves survive safely? Won't these terrible beasts attack them?

The rapid birdsong sounded, and Nanying's heart jumped, this is a signal from the high wind to send out the danger ahead, is there any danger? He rushed out with a cat's waist.

The grass was in a wave-like lodging shape, and it was splattered with shocking drops of blood, obvious signs of humans and beasts crawling or dragging heavy objects.

Nan Ying frowned and squatted down, stretched out his hand to stroke a pool of blood, and said with a heavy face: "The blood has dried up, but it is not black, it seems that the time is not long!" ”

"General, come and take a look!" Li Jin's voice sounded from not far away.

A corpse was scattered among the grass nests, and although the corpse had been torn apart by the beast, it was still possible to distinguish the torn color of the Han military uniform on the corpse.

Nan Ying's face changed drastically, and he blurted out: "This must be one of the murderers of the fake Han army!" However, how could even they be attacked by fierce beasts? Could it be that I guessed wrong again, thieves don't have a special way to defend against predators? ”

Before the words fell, a few miles away, a violent and long terrifying roar was heard, although it was extremely far away, the four of them could still clearly hear that the roar seemed to contain endless bloodlust.

Several people looked at each other, only Li Jin suddenly looked dead and screamed: "This! That's impossible! ”

Ten miles away from the direction of the four of them, the endless forest strangely appeared here a blank area within a radius of several miles, if you can look down from mid-air, you can even find that this area is extremely regular and round, it is definitely a miracle that no human force can accomplish with the power of nature.

Under the cover of countless towering giant trees, even on the nearest mountain, it was impossible to detect the small piece of miracle that was completely hidden in the vast forest.

Anyone who stops here will feel the visual impact of shocking the bottom of their hearts, in such a cold time of late winter and early spring, the earth has not yet reached the time of spring flowers, but here is green grass, flowers are blooming, and several clear streams flow happily from the dense forest, injecting infinite vitality and vitality into this small grassland.

However, in such a fairyland on earth, there is also a discordant scene of burning the qin and boiling the crane. A medium-sized wooden village is built in the middle of the grassland, people are constantly busy in and out, and a hundred steps away from the wooden village, a deep pool presents an extremely grotesque dark black color, the dark pool seems to float a layer of viscous and heavy black liquid, "gurgling" tumbling bubbles, and the pungent stench can be heard far and near.

In a room in the wooden village, Sun Binshuo paced back and forth with gloomy eyes, trying to forcibly suppress the restlessness in his heart.

"Lord, Lord!" A black-clothed child of the Sun family flashed in in a panic and said in a trembling voice: "Oh no! Again...... Two more brothers were found missing, and something was wrong! ”

"Get out!" Sun Binshuo finally found a way to vent, and in a fit of rage, he grabbed a clay pot and threw it over, smashing it on the door beam.

The child of the Sun family flew out with a blank face, and closed the door tightly.

Sun Binshuo's clenched fists couldn't help trembling, and his face was frighteningly blue. Anyone would think he must be angry, but only he knows that he is afraid!

He gasped uncontrollably, his heart full of confusion and fear! The secret cave here is obviously the nest that he has painstakingly managed for many years, with elite guards, beasts patrolling the forest, and a large number of natives acting as eyes and ears outside. But why did he only leave for a few months this time, and when he came back, the world was turned upside down?

After defeating Zhang Niujiao in a battle from the valley, he led hundreds of tribes to directly copy the path back to the secret nest, originally returning with a great victory. But I never thought that the nightmare would start at this time. As soon as he entered the jungle, he felt that something was wrong, all the sentry posts and hidden piles set up along the way were gone, and no one came forward to meet the team, and in the two days after that, everyone was in a panic, because the most unbelievable thing in the world happened: the fierce beasts in the forest, which had always been regarded as the dogs of their own households, launched a ruthless attack on them, and at least seven or eight of their subordinates were full of beast kisses.

When he returned to the wooden village, he was even more shocked by the bad news like five thunderbolts, it turned out that in the past month, all the fierce beasts in the forest seemed to have gone crazy to attack the people who dared to go deep into the forest, and nearly 1,000 people in the village were forced to shrink into this small clearing.

Although these beasts were not domesticated, they had been living in peace with people before, and there was another mystery in this. The sub-lineage of the Sexagenary Branch is the most unique of the twenty-two branches, and all of its members are the personal descendants of the Sun family head, who are either dead soldiers among the Sun family's children or killers who have been trained since childhood, and they only obey the orders of the current family master.

Zi Er, who was tragically wiped out on the Xianyang Plain, is a stranger in the subline, and this jungle is also where he grew up in his childhood. When the previous head of the Sun family accidentally discovered him in the dense forest, he was in the company of tigers and wolves, living a primitive life like a savage. The previous generation of the head of the family cherished the talents of the second child, and after adopting him, he accidentally discovered the mysterious area in the jungle, and discovered the secret in the black water pool, so he exhausted his manpower and material resources to start building a secret nest here, and after more than ten years of operation, it was finally built here as a base for training a new generation of killers. At the same time, Zi Er uses the characteristics of the beasts in the forest to make a large number of rattan armor sprayed with special medicinal liquid, and when a member of the wooden village goes out, as long as he wears the rattan armor, he is not in danger of being attacked by the beast. And this method is indeed miraculous, for more than ten years, there has never been a single incident of a beast hurting a person. Outsiders are at a loss to know the secrets, as long as they inadvertently set foot here, they will all end up dead without a corpse, and over time, the name of the Jedi will spread even more!

When it came to the generation of the contemporary head of the family, Sun Binshuo, he secretly gathered his subordinates and ignorant homeless people, formed his own faction in the Taihang Mountains, and firmly choked the main roads into the mountains everywhere. Until the rise of the group of thieves, in order to continue to hide their identities, they also showed a big banner, and they did enough to share the same spirit and glory and disgrace with the group of thieves, which made it easier to act in concealment.

At the same time, they have created grassless areas outside the Rocky Valley at all costs, and blocked the passage to the interior of the forest with secret doors, making the secrets of the forest even more difficult for the world to discover. All of this can be called painstaking and solitary. Now, after eradicating Zhang Niujiao, it is difficult for the Han army to implement the recruitment plan, and the many forces in Taihang Mountain will still remain fragmented, making the secrets of the Jedi Forest even deeper underwater, and the threat from the outside is minimal.

No one could have imagined that the biggest reliance would become an internal trouble today! For so many years, these beasts have been at peace with people, what is it that suddenly stimulates them?

Thinking of the thousands of evil beasts in the endless forest sea, even if Sun Binshuo's situation was not shocked, he couldn't help but shudder, this was enough to make the entire sub-line and even the entire Sun family irreversible!

Suddenly, his mind flashed with the resentful eyes of Zi Er before he died, as well as the curse of gnashing his teeth: "Kill me, you will definitely regret it!" ”

Could it be the aftermath left by Zi Er? No! That's impossible! How could he possibly do that? Sun Binshuo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back, could it be that Zi Er had done something on the liquid medicine applied to the rattan armor beforehand? He was the only one who knew about it!

"Damn brute!" Sun Binshuo could no longer control the anger in his heart, and kicked the case in front of him into pieces of wood.

The wooden door behind him rang softly, and it seemed to be slowly pushed open.

Sun Binshuo turned around like a whirlwind and shouted angrily: "Who dares to pass ...... without passing the word?"

Suddenly, he was speechless, and he couldn't scold anymore.

A tall figure stood quietly in front of the door, and the man said lightly: "Ziyi, you have lost your temper!" Is it the work of a leader who is so impetuous! ”

Sun Binshuo forcibly squeezed out a smile and said, "It turned out to be an ugly brother, and if the brother is rude, please ask the brother to take a break!" ”

"No blame!" The mighty man with a majestic face slowly walked into the house and said softly: "Brother is here to resign!" ”

"Resignation?" Sun Binshuo was stunned for a moment, and then said apologetically: "It must be because of the sudden beast disaster here, which interfered with the virtuous nephew's recuperation body, right?" It's all my brother's fault, and this kind of thing happened in my own nest! ”

"Not really! I'm because ......."

"Woo -----" was like a terrifying roar from the depths of the desolation, and the roar was full of primordial and violent killing intent. The two of them shook at the same time, and Sun Binshuo was shocked: "This! This is the she-beast! Is even it crazy? ”
