The next afternoon.

It is about one foot and two feet away from the black dragon.

"One, two, three."

With a low and short counting sound, the snowy Pu knife slammed down against the soil wall, slashing at the pulsating black and red rhizome.

The tip of the stem was split upward, and then slowly drooped down, and some crimson purple viscous juice immediately dripped down the edge of the knife.

Nearly half of them fell into a pouch that looked like an insect trap, and the rest trickled to the bottom of the pit.

Shanhaiwei, who was in charge of the knife, turned his head and scolded: "Hand it forward!" ”

Although he spoke sharply, his voice was still not high.

The little eunuch holding the 'insect trap' trembled when he was drunk, and hurriedly put his skin bag against the earthen wall, his two eyes staring at the black and red rhizome that was close at hand, and his mouth was tightly closed, but his breath was like a cow.

"Hold it down."

Shanhaiwei pulled the Pu knife out of the rhizome with force, and slowly raised it above his head while reminding: "Don't you see that the more panicked you are, the faster you will die." ”

The little eunuch nodded heavily, but he still mouthed like a gourd, and did not say anything.

Shanhaiwei, who is in charge, has long been accustomed to this.

After determining that the rhizomes of these black dragons can only have an effect on the humans and animals above, a battle of gradual encroachment until the grass is cut and eradicated is officially started.

In just half a day, seven or eight people lost their lives.

Two of them died because they vented their emotions too much and shouted out their throats.

Therefore, by now, there are more than half of the people in this tunnel, and they dare not speak easily.

This Shanhaiwei is an outlier among them.

Adjusting the movement of his deerskin glove-wrapped fingers, he whispered again: "One, two, three." ”

The long-handled Pu knife came down in response, and a click was heard, and the rhizome of the thickness of the egg broke off the wall, jumped and fell into the skin, and the next moment it bounced out and fell to the bottom of the tunnel.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The four eyes were fixed on the stem, until it rolled on the ground a few times, and there was no more movement, and then the two of them let out a heavy gasp in unison.

In fact, according to the above, as long as this stem is cut off, there will be no harm.

But so many people died in just half a day, who would dare to gamble with their lives, what they said above must be right?

"You!"

Shanhaiwei thrust the Pu knife in his hand into the ground, and subconsciously wanted to pull the neck of the little eunuch, but his hand stretched out halfway and hurriedly retracted back.

It was easy to suppress the anger in his heart, and he scolded word by word: "You eggless thing, do you have to kill Lao Tzu to be willing?!" Since the skin bag is full, why don't you know to change it?! ”

Seeing Shanhaiwei glaring angrily, the little eunuch lowered his gaze in a sneer, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "I...... I didn't mean to. ”

"You!"

Which one cares if you do it intentionally or not?!

Shanhaiwei felt angry again, but he was afraid that if he continued to entangle with him, it would be more dangerous, so he said in a muffled voice: "If there is another moth, Lao Tzu will ask Master Hu to replace you!" ”

The little eunuch nodded desperately at first, and then shook his head vigorously.

Shanhaiwei didn't bother to think about what this meant, so he ordered him to change to a brand-new 'insect trap', picked the stem with a simple knife, and carefully put it in.

He was about to choose the next one to concoct in the same way, but suddenly he heard a terrible and short howl.

"Ah~!! Save me, save ......"

Everyone in the tunnel seemed to have lost their immobilization method, and they all looked at the direction where the screams came, even if few people could see it with their own eyes, they could still make up the tragic situation of the other party's dead body.

After a long time, Shanhaiwei, who was in charge of the knife, sighed and greeted: "Don't be stunned, you can't be lazy about this errand, let's be tight, maybe we can mix some additional benefits." ”

The little eunuch nodded again and again.

The two of them lowered their heads and carefully took two steps - so far, the vast majority of attrition casualties have been generated by movement, some have tripped, some have been injured by stones, and some have been accidentally injured by instruments.

Therefore, it is natural that they should not move forward cautiously.

Outside the tunnel.

Feng Bao sat on the leather-covered pipe hat chair with a wooden face, and the heroism of asking for his life before was long gone.

Among the more than 70 eunuchs sent by the palace this time, only he, Feng Yongting, took the initiative to invite Ying.

Originally, with the idea of not entering the tiger's den, he wanted to give Bo a chance to come out on top, but after winning this errand, he found that the danger of Longtan was far better than the tiger's den.

The feeling of being shrouded in the shadow of death all the time is simply the most painful torture.

But there is no way to vent this pain, and I dare not vent it!

"Father-in-law Feng, come, refresh yourself, go to the fire."

At this time, a voice came into Feng Bao's ears, Feng Bao looked up, but it was Hu Xianzhong who came over with two cups of tea and handed one of them to him.

Feng Bao raised his hand to take it, and was still a foot away from the teacup, but suddenly stopped again, with a hesitant look on his face.

"Warm tea, I don't dare to take it if it's hot."

Hu Xianzhong explained with a wry smile, seeing that Feng Bao still refused to take over, he thought about it and further explained: "I didn't put much tea, and the taste was not very strong. ”

Feng Bao raised his hand to take it, and squeezed out two words from his mouth: "Thank you." ”

Hu Xianzhong cautiously sat on his chair, took a sip of tea, and looked at the tunnel with Feng Bao in a daze, but unconsciously lost focus.

"Father-in-law, Hu Shoubei."

I don't know how long it took, a eunuch stepped forward and reminded: "The event is moving, Mo Mu is moving." ”

The two of them woke up like a dream, got up and walked back and forth on the flat area.

Just looking at the stiff and sluggish movements, it is said that it is an elderly couple, and no one will suspect anything.

…………

Meanwhile.

Wang Shouye, who was at the mouth of the alley, also got the latest list of casualties, as well as the rhizomes and juice of dozens of skin bags.

He first scanned the list one by one, and then pointed to one of the names and asked, "This Jiang Guangkun is the only son in the family?" ”

Lu Tai flipped through the list and nodded: "It is indeed the only son in the family, and he has not yet married a wife." ”

"Choose a man and a woman from the almshouse to inherit the incense in his house."

"Yes, the lowly office will be ordered to be done as soon as possible."

Simply laying out the aftermath of the deceased, Wang Shouye's heart became more and more depressed.

No wonder they all say that Ci is not in charge of the army.

He is now cold-hearted, but it is still a little difficult to let go of watching his soldiers die like this.

However, Ma Gui has been accustomed to seeing life and death in the border town since he was a child, and stepped forward to comfort him: "Eating food and becoming a soldier is a business that does not put the head on the waistband of the trousers, not to mention that people have no eggs in front, and our mountain and sea supervisors can't weaken their momentum." ”

As he spoke, he pulled him again: "Instead of thinking about this, you should think about how to remove the rhizome under the black dragon." ”

That's a real problem.

If you don't dispose of the rhizomes under the black dragon's body, it will definitely hinder the transportation along the way.

But if you hollow out the ground under the black dragon, and then try to pull it out of the pit, I'm afraid it won't be so easy - it's a pity that the black dragon has barbs on it, otherwise it will be reversed and transported away.

The two called Lu Tai, Zhao Kui, and Lu Jingcheng again, and prepared to work together in a nearby teahouse.

As a result, as soon as he sat down according to the rank, he was summoned by Bai Changqi, saying that he asked Wang Shouye to personally escort those rhizomes over.

Wang Shouye was a little suspicious when he heard this.

With such a simple errand, there shouldn't be a need for you, the former enemy commander, to go out in person, right?

But if there are other errands to be delegated to him, Bai Changqi just said directly, and there is no need to find any excuses?
