At this time, a line of smoke burst out of the sky, and a moment later, the fire swept out along the thorns on both sides of the sky and the dead branches and leaves on the ground, the wind and fire intersected, and the fire was extremely terrifying.

Zhu Lihua smiled bitterly in his heart, it seemed that he still underestimated the power of the mountain fire, and overestimated the role of the dark and damp passage in the first line of the sky to block the fire. It's ironic that the plan to burn the wolf ended up burning himself.

At this time, Zhu Lihua was suddenly a little surprised, he thought of the plan to burn the wolf, but found that he and the others had arrived in the valley, but they did not see where those Sumeru wolves were, and they did not encounter even a single wolf's attack.

Is it a mistake? This is not a wolf's den? Yu Lihua asked himself, but he thought back to the Sumeru wolf who was shot by Wei Yuanqi at Taniguchi, but he clearly told himself that this was definitely the wolf's den.

If there is no doubt that the wolf's den is here, then the Sumeru wolf must have abandoned the cave and fled because of the strength of the Rong people, and the Sumeru wolf did not escape from the first line of heaven, there must be other ways to the outside of the valley.

Thinking of this, Zhu Lihua was overjoyed, and hurriedly informed Liu He and Tang Yuan of his thoughts. The two of them were also excited when they heard it, and they were deeply convinced of Zhu Lihua's guess. Zhu Lihua asked the two of them to quickly go to the valley to investigate, and the two of them also knew that there was no time to delay, so they immediately took the order and left.

At this moment, the fire gradually subsided, but the flames rushed out of the sky and burned into the valley along the artemisia grass and trees on the ground. The fire only spread along the sides of the valley, and the trees in front of the sky were not burned much.

The first line of the sky gradually quieted down, and suddenly everyone heard a "click", as if someone had stepped on a charred branch, and then the sound of "click" became more and more.

A quarter of an hour later, the junction between the first line of heaven and the mouth of the valley has been full of corpses, most of them are the corpses of the Rong people with feather arrows, the first line of the sky is narrow, although the Rong people are large in number but they can't use it, but the people can shoot the arrows at the Rong people who rush out in sections.

The Rong people were almost all armed with hand-to-hand weapons, and there were very few bow-wielding ones, which made them targets for these Orion guards under the command of Zhu Lihua.

Long before the battle began, Zhu Lihua ordered everyone not to care about the loss of arrows, and try to use arrows to block the Rong people in the first line of the sky, otherwise once the Rong people rushed out of the first line of the sky, his own people would be wiped out at any time. He himself knows that there may be a way to live, but this news must not let others know, marching and fighting is important in one breath, and only by fighting against the water can we fight to the death, if this breath is vented, then everyone can only be killed, which is why Lihua only let Liu He and the others go to explore the way.

In fact, the situation was also the same, all the soldiers stood to death, and the determination in their hearts inspired greater fighting spirit.

The bow of the Qin State is a compound bow, which is famous for its speed and strength, and it is not easy for ordinary warriors to shoot eight arrows in a row, and the best can only shoot twelve arrows in a row before they will be exhausted. But in such a dangerous place today, people do not know how many arrows have been fired, but no matter how many arrows are fired, they will grit their teeth and take another arrow from the quiver and open their bows.

Not all arrows can kill the Rong people, no matter how superb the archers are, they can't stand the steady stream of Rong people, and some Rong people can break out of the sky, but fortunately, affected by the terrain, the number of people who rush out is not much and can not achieve a steady stream of results, whenever they see the Rong people rushing out, there will be a few Changge soldiers to meet the generals, fighting together.

The hand-to-hand combat will find the terrible Rong people, these Rong people seem to be infinitely powerful compared to the Qin people, Zhu Lihua saw with his own eyes a Rong people before the death of a stick out of the Chang Ge into his body of the Qin soldiers, the soldier flew out and fell to the ground after no movement, and it was impossible to live.

But what he was even more worried about happened, the fire had been extinguished, and the fires on both sides of the valley began to spread towards the valley.

With the continuous death of Changge's soldiers, more and more Rong people poured into the valley, and some archers began to mention Changge around them to join in hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, a sudden gust of wind rose, and the fires on both sides accelerated towards the valley, and the Rong people who rushed into the forest hurriedly retreated in the direction of the first line of heaven after hearing an incomprehensible order.

Of course, he understood why the Rong people retreated, and he quickly ordered everyone to retreat deeper into the valley. As soon as everyone left less than fifty paces, another gust of wind rose, and they saw that the forest where they had just fought had been covered by a fire dragon, and the heat wave was rolling, and they couldn't open their eyes. The dead or seriously injured Rong people and Qin people in that forest could no longer distinguish each other, and in a moment they turned into dust and mixed together in a moment amid the screams.

This mountain fire isolated the Rong people and the Qin people, but Yu Lihua understood that compared with the Rong people, the situation was fundamentally the difference between heaven and earth, and the Rong people only waited for the mountain fire to burn into the valley, just like he planned to burn and kill the Sumeru wolf, just sit and watch the mountain fire. And if you can't find a way out on your side, you can only go to be a ghost in the fire.

The valley is not big, and after a while, everyone has already walked to the innermost part of the valley, and all they see are almost fifty steps high cliffs, the cliffs are steep, and they can't climb up at all, and under the cliffs are some small karst caves, needless to say, it is naturally the wolf den of the Sumeru wolf.

But at this time, there is only despair and tiredness in the eyes of everyone, where will they care about any wolf cave. Wei Yuanqi and Li Ji looked at Zhu Lihua who was in a daze, and walked up to him, Wei Yuanqi patted Zhu Lihua's shoulder, and laughed: "Brother Zhu Li, don't be sad, I can fight with you, die without regrets, don't die today." Although Yuan Qi was stupid, he also knew that he killed Wang He that time, and Brother Zhuli didn't have to be like this, and Brother Zhuli was willing to take a big risk because he was afraid that I would be persecuted by the Wang family. The great kindness is not grateful, and the next life will definitely be reciprocated. After saying that, he fell to the ground. After the salute, he laughed again, turned around and mentioned that Changge was about to go out of the valley, and he made up his mind that if the mountain fire could not kill him, then he would kill another Rong people.

As soon as Wei Yuanqi turned around, he felt someone gently tugging at his clothes and said, "You don't have to go to die, we can't die." ”

This soft sound sounded in everyone's ears like a thunderbolt, and everyone looked at the main general who said this, the young man with a white face like jade under the black coat looked at the wolf's den and did not move.

Seeing that the Lord was like this, although everyone was full of curiosity, they also calmed down a little, this weak scholar with almost no combat effectiveness, this noble child who did not have the slightest frame to share weal and woe with him was always full of scheming in the past half a year. Although this is the first time he has fought against the Rong people under the leadership of Zhu Lihua, he has already done a good job. Although some soldiers have fought with the Rong people many times, most of the time they are relying on the danger and terrain, like this field battle, not to mention that they only had 40 people at the beginning, that is, 400 or 4,000 people can go well, thinking back to the momentum of the Rong people running all over the mountains and fields, maybe if it wasn't for the calm command of Lu Lihua, these people would have gone to Huangquan a long time ago, in other words, it is a miracle that they can survive until now.

In the battle, the surviving warriors each had a few Rong lives in their hands, and they had already earned them. For more than 500 years, killing one Rong people in a field battle with the Rong people would kill three Qin people, but today's battle is just the opposite, and such a result is indeed worthy of the pride of the soldiers.

Everyone thought about it and couldn't help but lean towards Lihua, who turned his head, looked at the robe around him, and then turned his head to continue to look at the wolf cave, looking at it, Lihua's eyes were red, because he knew at a quick glance that there were only twelve people left behind him.

As the largest of the countless grottoes on the cliff sounded, Zhu Lihua breathed a sigh of relief, and this hearing knew that it was the sound of human footsteps that made his tense nerves relax a little.

The fire behind him was getting bigger and bigger, and the valley was like a hell of suffocation, billowing black smoke straight into the sky, and the heat wave continued to hit Lihua and the others, and some people in the crowd already had a look of fear on their faces. Also, who wants to be burned to death by fire compared to fighting and dying.

Everyone only heard the footsteps in the grotto getting closer and closer, and a figure came out of the cave.

"It's Donsh Chief." The crowd shouted.

Tang Yuan got out of the wolf cave and also saw Lihua and the others in front of him, but when he saw the raging fire in the valley, his face instantly became ugly, he found Lihua in the crowd, and when he saw Lihua looking at him, he nodded and turned around and went in.

Tang Yuan understood that except for the people he had just seen, the other brothers were definitely gone, Tang Yuan had experienced a hundred battles and was used to seeing life and death, but he was still very sad.

Zhu Lihua and the others followed Tang Yuan into the wolf cave. Although the Sumeru wolf is huge, it is a quadruped animal after all, and after entering the wolf den, Lihua and the others can only bend over and bow down. Tang Yuan saw that Lihua was following behind him, so he said to Lihua: "Lord Baijiang, Liu Shichang and I have seen a lot of wolf dens, so we can only go into the larger wolf dens separately to explore, and it has taken too much time to find this wolf den with an exit, if we can find a way out earlier, it won't, no, hey, please punish the hundred generals." He choked up a little as he said this.

Zhu Lihua knew that there was no way to do this, and he couldn't blame Tang Yuan, he patted Tang Yuan on the back in front of him, and said, "You two have saved everyone, and you have done a good job." ”

Tang Yuan pondered for a moment after listening, his heart still couldn't let go of so many robes and left, but after a while, he still cheered himself up and continued: "Bai Li, Liu Shichang and I found that several of these wolf dens are connected, and Liu Shichang and I only learned about this when we met in a larger cave in the cave, and what we are climbing in now is one of the ones that leads directly to the cave, in addition to the two passages in the cave in front, there are two passages that are oblique upward, and the two of us left marks and explored them separately, The passage I took led to the outside of the valley, and when I found the way out, I hurried back to you. ”

Lu Lihua nodded and followed closely behind Tang Yuan.

Everyone walked forward in the darkness for about seventy or eighty steps, and then walked into a large cave room, and Li Lihua made Li Ji light a fire, and saw that the cave room was indeed the same as Tang Yuan's description. Just as he wanted to observe again, he suddenly smelled a thick smell of smoke, and turned to look to find that thick smoke was pouring out of the passage when he came.

Without thinking about it, he knew that the mountain fire in the valley had burned to the entrance of the cave, and Tang Yuan looked at Tang Yuan, Tang Yuan also understood the intention of Li Hua, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Baijiang, go this way, and drill into a hole after speaking." ”

He was about to leave, when suddenly a wolf howl and a shout came from another cave. Zhu Lihua heard that the rebuke was Liu He's voice, and he turned his head to Wei Yuanqi and said, "Take the brothers away quickly." "He didn't look back and went through the hole where the sound came.

In his eyes, he could no longer see life and death, so he didn't hesitate to save Liu He.

Everyone was stunned, Li Ji patted Wei Yuanqi and said, I went to protect the adults, and followed Zhu Lihua into the hole.

Wei Yuanqi hesitated for a moment, saw that the smoke was a little bigger, chopped his feet and shouted, "Follow me", and took the rest of the soldiers to follow Tang Yuan.

He drilled into the cave and found that the space was much lower and narrower than when he came, and he could only crawl on the ground if he walked further. He was anxious in his heart, full of thoughts about leaving with Liu He, he also heard the sound of Li Ji's breathing behind him, the two did not speak, just crawled forward in the dark, after walking a distance of about twenty steps, Zhu Lihua felt that the space around him had become larger, and it was not much different from the previous cave.

Suddenly, the hairs of the tree exploded, and the cold sweat on his body instantly flowed down, because he heard some breathing sounds, which were definitely not made by humans.

He understands that there is only one explanation, Sumeru wolf! Sumeru wolf in the dark.
