Chapter 67: There is a tiger in the heart
Seeing Dai Mengli take Jiang Heng away, Lin Zixu shouted to all the spirit masters: "Brothers, kill me, destroy these scum, and avenge the sacrificed brothers."
Although there are many ambushes in Shadow Moon Valley, they are well-equipped, and they are well commanded, but they seem to be a little powerless in the face of the fierce spirit masters, although there are not many spirit masters who rushed to support, but they are all the elite of one party's forces, and their strength is strong.
At this moment, everyone no longer has any scruples, wide open and close, Shi Xuan is like a tiger in the battlefield venting his wild anger towards a crowded place, he saw the miserable situation of the senior brother in their hands, at this moment he is brave and unstoppable, a tongue of fire instantly tied up a dozen soldiers, calcined them alive to death, and the sharp sword qi passed through a large area of the Shadow Moon army was as worthless as a fallen weed.
The power of the fire spirit master can be seen, the super-large area of the flame storm raging in the whole field is unstoppable, a large number of soldiers fled in terror, throwing away their armor and losing their fighting intent.
"General, general, our soldiers are falling like weeds, it's terrible, a few of our spirit masters have no room to play at all, the Shadow Moon King is sending us to die", the general's deputy cried.
"It is estimated that the general did not expect such a huge spirit division army to participate in the battle, he thought that only the imperial army and the barbarian tribes were active here, and he never expected that there would be other forces involved in it", the general looked at the defeated crowd.
"The general summons the remnants of the army and runs quickly, otherwise the whole army will be wiped out, and what will we take back to see the Shadow Moon King empty-handed?" said the adjutant general.
"Blow the horn and retreat", the general knew that it was destined to be difficult to gain today, and in order to preserve part of his strength, he could only retreat first.
Hearing the clarion call for retreat, countless Shadow Moon Valley raiders rushed into the distance in embarrassment, looking at the defeated marauders, many spirit masters stopped after a little pursuit, and Lin Zixu stopped them.
"This time, the transport guards of the four empires suffered heavy casualties, and they could not safely deliver these important spirit saltpeter to their destination, we dispatched a group of powerful spirit masters to follow them to escort them, and then return to Beicang, from now on, it is no secret that Beicang will be intervened, and our task will be even more difficult", Lin Zixu assigned a part of the spirit masters to follow the remnants of the four imperial guards to escort the spirit saltpeter.
Shi Xuan and his entourage looked at the battlefield that turned into a sea of fire, leaving countless remains here, born in troubled times, this is the sadness of this generation, they are under the fetters of fate, they can't help themselves, and they shed their blood for the object of their loyalty, but in exchange for burying their bones in a foreign land.
The bitter cold wind blew through the grassland, swept the deep meadow, the fierce beasts in the distance smelled the blood in the wind, the delicious breath of the followers came here to feast, and countless black crows sang a lament for these people buried in the foreign land with their tiresome voices.
Shi Xuan and his party did not stop, their eyes had witnessed too many tragedies, everything that happened here was staged on the mainland every moment, and the ambition of the Danyang Empire was not extinguished, and the tragedy was not endless.
Shi Xuan and the others rode their horses and galloped on the vast grassland, and they continued to go deep into the Beicang There were still many important things to do.
In the camp under the mountain range, Li Dufeng and many other allies were anxiously waiting for Lin Zixu and his party at this moment, but when they saw that only a few spirit masters had returned, they felt a little uncomfortable.
"Senior nephew Lin, how is the battle going?" Li Dufeng asked Lin Zixu.
"The raiders have been successfully defeated by us, and there is no possibility of another raid, and I have sent a large number of elite disciples to escort them, which should ensure a safe arrival," Lin Zixu said.
"That's good, being able to keep this batch of important materials is the key, thank you for your hard work", Li Dufeng looked at the people running back and forth.
"How is Senior Brother Jiang's condition?" Lin Zixu said worriedly.
"I've temporarily stabilized the toxins in his body for him, but I'm not a professional doctor, so if I want to completely get rid of him, I have to wait until I send him back to Tianhua Peak and let the senior brother in charge find a way," Li Dufeng said.
"I was surprised to see my senior brother return again, but I didn't expect that the enemy would torture him so cruelly that he didn't look like a human being, if I guessed correctly, this group of raiders should be the subordinates of the Shadow Moon King of the Danyang Empire," Lin Zixu said.
"This is the only possibility, he was captured during the raid on the Shadow Moon King's grain and grass convoy, and the news of his death was deliberately created by the Shadow Moon King to show us, it seems that this person is also an ambitious person in the Danyang Empire," Li Dufeng said.
"The Shadow Moon King was deprived of military power by Jiang Bingkun after a big defeat in Yecheng, and he has been lurking in the Shadow Moon fiefdom and not coming out, I didn't expect him to dare to pull out his teeth, but I didn't expect it to be planted in our hands", Lin Zixu also realized this hidden, Tiger.
"It seems that the empire is not monolithic, maybe this can also be an important breakthrough for us to defeat the Danyang Empire," Shi Xuan said.
"Do you want them to fight each other within their empire and then take the opportunity to defeat them?" Li Dufeng said.
"It's too early to fight infighting, but maybe we can use the gap within them to create an opportunity in our favor," Shi Xuan said.
"You can think about it, but let's think about the things at hand," Lin Zixu said.
"The convoy of the Danyang Empire cannot return to the Empire, I believe that it will not be long before a large army will come to exterminate us, and our operation must be carried out before they arrive here, otherwise they will have a very small chance of attacking us in front and back", Li Dufeng considered.
"There are at least 50,000 or 60,000 Shadow Tiger Guards, and it must be dangerous for us to attack directly like this," Yin Qianxi said.
"Maybe we can do a raid," Mr. Han said.
"Even if you take advantage of the surprise attack, you only have a slight hope of raising the hope, and the result is still the same," Lin Zixu said.
"No, maybe it's different, because we have internal responses", Shi Xuan suddenly said at this time.
"Senior Brother Shi Xuan's thoughts again?" Han Yunyi asked.
"The key to this operation is one person," Shi Xuan said.
"Who", Han Yunyi was puzzled.
"It's your sister Han Yunxi," Shi Xuan said.
"Although she is a spirit master, it is impossible to deal with a large army", Yin Qianxi was puzzled.
"Senior Sister Han has been in there for so many days, she must know the environment and defense well, you rangers can let her know about our plan through special communications, let her cooperate inside and out, maybe have a chance to succeed", Shi Xuan thought of a good idea.
"Shi Xuan, you say your thoughts completely, let's refer to them," Li Dufeng said.
"I thought of a good idea from Senior Brother Jiang Heng, that is, to use poison, we can contact Senior Sister Han to find a way to send the poison in, let her find an opportunity to poison the food of the Shadow Tiger Force, as long as it succeeds, we can defeat them in one fell swoop without much effort," Shi Xuan said.
"If you want my sister to poison her in a well-guarded guard, it's too difficult for her, right?" Han Yunyi felt unreliable.
Shi Xuan took out a special spirit talisman from his body at this time and displayed it in front of everyone, while the others looked at the things in his hands.
"It's the Shadow Talisman," Li said.
"Not long ago, I forged a few pieces, I believe this will come in handy, send this talisman in, she can enter the core area of the military camp without knowing it, although poisoning is against the peace of heaven, but in order to deal with a brutal force like Shadow Tiger, we can't care so much", Shi Xuan said.
"Maybe you can give it a try?" everyone looked at Han Yunyi.
"Since everyone agrees, I am responsible for contacting her through special methods, and whether it can succeed depends on her actions, but when the time comes, you must promise me to protect her and bring her out completely," Han Yunyi said.
"Brother Han's sister is our sister, as long as we can come out alive, we won't leave her behind," Lin Zixu assured.
"I instructed my disciples in the Lingdan Hall to refine the poison needed, and everyone recuperated and waited until tomorrow to sneak into the vicinity of the mine to investigate the situation, and Senior Nephew Han was responsible for secretly contacting your sister and looking for an opportunity to send the poison and talisman in," Li Dufeng said.
Everyone agreed to Shi Xuan's plan and began to make a tense deployment.
The next day, Lin Zixu, Yin Qianxi, Han Yunyi, Shi Xuan, Li Dufeng and a few other strong people explored first, and the rest of the spirit masters were on standby in the camp.
Several of them are very strong, extremely fast, and the five of them have Shi Xuan's shadow talisman, and they can approach the mine even during the day.
In the Beicang Mountain Range, where the mountains are towering, several people cautiously advanced, and after a morning of running, they finally saw a huge mine.
"Fortunately, there are many mountains around this mine, and the vegetation is abundant, our spirit master can lurk in the surrounding mountains at that time, and when the time comes, we can launch a surprise attack", Li Dufeng observed the distant mine environment from afar.
"Let's lean over carefully, walking from the mountains and forests can avoid patrols, so as not to startle the snakes," Lin Zixu suggested.
"Yes, there must be traps or sentry on the road, and we will inevitably be discovered when we walk," Yin Qianxi said.
Instead of continuing to choose the road, they broke into the mountains and forests, and although the steep mountain could block the mortals, it was not a big problem for the spirit master who flew the eaves and walked the wall.
They quickly approached the mine in the middle of the forest, and soon a huge military camp appeared in their field of vision, and they could clearly observe a large number of well-dressed troops practicing in the camp, and countless hard laborers in the mines in the distance, many soldiers patrolling the perimeter of the mines, whipping the laborers from time to time.
"These bastards are really damned, they will be beaten and scolded, and they will be killed at worst, and sooner or later they will have to pay the price," Shi Xuan said.
A few people circled around the surrounding mountains and forests, and they had a clear understanding of the environment, and they came to the mountains and forests on the side of the mine, and secretly hid in the woods to observe the situation.
"Uncle Shi, there are too many people patrolling them, I don't have a chance to contact her, I'm afraid that it will attract attention, and my sister will be in danger at that time", Han Yunyi looked at the many patrol officers in the distance.
"I'm waiting to see if there's a chance, but if not, I can only find a way to temporarily attract the attention of these soldiers and create opportunities for contact," Li said.
After a long time, the sun was about to set, but the patrol still went back and forth.
At this time, a powerful third-order demonic tiger suddenly approached behind Shi Xuan and the others.
"It's not good to hide, there are spirit beasts approaching us," Li Dufeng said.
Shi Xuan took out the shadow talisman, and several people hid in the shadows, and the demonic tiger came here and suddenly found that the prey was gone, and roared and rushed towards the many hard laborers in the mine.
A loud roar resounded through the high hills, and the tiger ran towards the many laborers.
Countless laborers on the mine instantly screamed and fled, and the huge tiger pounced on several people in a row, biting them to death on the spot, bloody and violent, and the surrounding patrol soldiers were so frightened that they didn't care about the life and death of the laborers.
"Oh my God, it's here again, help us", some of the laborers shouted for help.
The mine was in chaos and the crowd was bustling.
"Brother Han's opportunity has come," Lin Zixu said.
At this time, Han Yunyi took out a unique arrow and shot it towards the group of laborers, and suddenly the spirit arrow exploded and emitted a strange spiritual light, although it was only for a short time, but it was enough for the sensitive spirit master.
At this moment, the field was in chaos, and the soldiers had already run away, and they had no time to care about the life and death of these people.
At this time, a girl dressed as a laborer did not run away, but came towards the tiger, and she was working in the distance, and when she saw the tiger rushing in and injuring the lives of several laborers in a row, she ignored it and came to help.
"Little sister, run, don't go over, that big tiger is so cruel", a kind-hearted person grabbed Han Yunxi who ran over.
"It's okay, I have a way to deal with it, I'll go over and save them", after speaking, Han Yunxi ran towards the tiger.
"Senior Brother Han, look, the girl who ran over, everyone else was running away, but she ran over to save people instead", Shi Xuan carefully observed the crowd, and he pointed to a girl wearing hard labor clothes.
"It's her, it's her, my sister," Han Yunyi said excitedly.
"She is worthy of being Brother Han's sister, she has an extraordinary bearing and a kind heart, and she still wants to rescue others in this predicament", Yin Qianxi sighed.
"Hey, she has been like this since she was a child, but in this sinister environment, it is easy for her to expose her identity by doing this, it is too dangerous", Han Yunyi was also speechless to this sister.
At this moment, the girl noticed the arrow that exploded in the air, "Ranger Order, it's the elder brother", she finally felt it. But she then rushed to the periphery of the tiger to drive away the tiger, and there was no pressure to kill the tiger with her strength, but this would reveal her identity as a spirit master.
She chose to use her aura to blind the tiger, and an extremely dazzling light flashed, and the tiger's eyes were wounded, and it rolled on the ground in pain, and then ran into the mountains and forests with a roar. Han Yunxi went down to the ground and pulled him up.
"You go back quickly," Han Yunxi said.
The man was frightened, nodded and ran towards the bustling crowd.
At this time, Han Yunxi looked around, and the soldiers around him had already run away, and there were only a few scattered laborers who were fleeing for their lives.
Han Yunyi threw a package far away into the mine, which contained the action plan and the poison they prepared, Han Yunxi looked at the package that flew in, she quickly stepped forward to pick it up, and hid it in her clothes, she followed the direction and saw a few people hidden in the mountains and forests, a relative who had not been seen for a long time, Han Yunyi was also looking at her silently.
Knowing that her brother didn't choose to take her away now, she must have a plan, so she waved to the group and ran towards the crowd.
Soon five or six spirit masters came to the place where the tiger was doing evil, and by the time they arrived, the tiger was gone.
"Don't worry about it, it is estimated that the tiger will leave early when he is full, and these untouchables will die when they die, go back to their lives", the spirit master saw the disappeared tiger and didn't care at all.
Soon many laborers were once again driven by the soldiers to work in the mines, as if nothing had been born here.
These laborers are always on the lookout for the sneak attack of the tigers on the embankment, and many people are terrified.
Shi Xuan and the others secretly observed for a long time before slowly leaving, and soon returned to the camp.
That night, Han Yunxi opened the package and carefully studied his brother's letter, in addition to expressing his thoughts, he wrote down the specific process of this operation in detail, and asked her to use the spirit arrow as a sign after completing it.
Han Yunxi saw the prepared shadow talisman, spirit arrow, and poison, and she was secretly planning a plan of action.
She is relatively clear about the deployment of the barracks, and the hard worker who is responsible for cooking for the army has become her breakthrough target, and she successfully found a hard worker who is responsible for washing vegetables, and got a lot of information from his mouth.
She decided to sneak into the poison, on this afternoon, she successfully infiltrated the barracks with the shadow amulet, avoiding the search of many patrol guards, she went straight to the army food camp according to the information obtained, the huge canteen here is clean and huge, there are hundreds of people in charge of cooking, there are special fire head soldiers for cooking, they can only be responsible for chores, she came here to see many busy people, they are nervously busy with the soldiers' dinner.
Han Yunxi tiptoed to find the target, but found that there were too many people and it was easy to be exposed, and it was almost impossible to hide so many eyes if he wanted to poison food and vegetables.
At this time, she suddenly found an indispensable thing, that is, water, "I still don't believe that you don't use water for cooking", Han Yunxi finally found an excellent goal.
It was a huge row of twenty tanks, each one very large, and there was enough water for them to use for two days.
Han Yunxi secretly found a large bucket, put the poison into the water to dilute it, and then poured the water into the water tank one by one, just as she was about to run away with the bucket after she finished.
"Hey, that person stops", a chef held Han Yunxi in his mouth.
Only then did she realize that the time for the Shadow Talisman had come, and she had revealed, so she could only turn around and say, "What's the matter?"
"Hurry up and get a bucket of water, and you want to be lazy, if you delay the soldiers' meals, we will all be punished, hurry," the man urged.
"Oh, here, I'm about to fight", Han Yunxi was startled.
She filled a bucket of water and carried it in, and then used it for them to cook and wash vegetables, "Hey, what do we think of your face?"
"Ah, that's the case, Tian Yuan he fell ill today, the supervisor asked me to temporarily work for him for a few days, I am not familiar with this place, and I ask a few big brothers to give me a lot of advice", Han Yunxi said.
"I see, just don't make trouble, or you won't be able to cook well, and the general will blame us, so go and fetch a few buckets of water," the man commanded.
"I'll go now", Han Yunxi was busy in the canteen for an afternoon, fortunately, she successfully sealed the big hole in the countryside before, and he was still sleeping in the shed at the moment.
Han Yunxi was relieved at this moment, these waters were full of poison, as long as these soldiers ate food, their plans would be much easier, although these poisons were strong, they were diluted a lot, and there were many people, it was estimated that it would be difficult to be fatal, but this was enough for Shi Xuan and them, even if it was difficult to be fatal, it could make them lose their ability to fight.
In the end, the fragrant meals had been prepared one after another, and many soldiers began to come to receive the meals of their respective teams, and they came many groups of soldiers to carry the meals away, and Han Yunxi and the miscellaneous laborers successively withdrew from the barracks and returned to their own camps to rest.
With the arrival of the evening, many soldiers have eaten one after another to end the busy day, and the laborers also began to eat, their meals are basically difficult to swallow, they are the worst food, there is a separate canteen, there are special hard workers to cook.
After Han Yunxi did all this, she knew that his task had been basically completed, she took out the spirit arrow in her residence and quietly came to a corner of the night, and hit it with spiritual power in the mountains and forests in the distance, and a spiritual light flashed.
At this time, around the mountains and forests, Li Dufeng led Lin Zixu and other thousands of spirit masters to secretly lurk in the dark woodland.
"Uncle Shi, look", Lin Zixu looked at the flashing spiritual pass.
"It seems that she succeeded", Shi Xuan also said excitedly.
"Wait, when these soldiers are poisoned, we will act," Li Dufeng motioned to everyone to observe secretly.
"Hey, I can finally take a rest after eating, I'm tired after a busy day", many soldiers walked together to prepare to go back to the camp to rest.
"Did you see it today? A huge third-order demonic tiger is so terrifying, a few laborers were bitten to death by it in two clicks, fortunately I ran fast, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to come back", the soldier remembered the horror of the day.
"This tiger has come out a few times, but not once has it been caught, and it hurts people every time," someone said.
"We can't beat it, we can only rely on those spirit masters to deal with it," said a man next to him.
"These people don't eat the fireworks of the world, and they die by their hard labor," someone said.
"Ouch, be quiet, it wouldn't be good if the spirit master heard, let's go back and rest, we're tired," said the soldier who patrolled during the day.
"Yo yo, my stomach hurts, I'll go to the toilet". The other was holding his stomach.
"Yo, don't say let's go together, mine hurts too", the two ran towards the toilet, but Keke was immediately dumbfounded, at this moment the huge toilet was already lined up in a huge line, everyone was crying and screaming, rolling around with their stomachs.
Immediately, someone ran to find the shadow tiger Yao Jingcheng, "The general is not good, our army is all poisoned", someone shouted impatiently.
"What's the situation, shouting in the military tent", Yao Jingcheng looked at the impatient herald.
"General, it's all over, the soldiers are all poisoned," said the herald.
"What's going on?"
"The soldiers had just finished their supper and were now all rolling on the floor, wailing in pain," said the herald.
"It's not good that someone is poisoned", Yao Jingcheng and other high-level generals naturally have independent food, they are not poisoned, but those unlucky ordinary soldiers have fallen.
Yao Jingcheng ordered the officers to show the call for war, but not many people responded to the call, and only a group of high-ranking officers came to his camp.
"How are the soldiers?" asked Yao Jingcheng.
"The secondary poison is extremely violent, but fortunately it is severely diluted, otherwise no ordinary soldier will survive," said a military doctor.
"Is there an antidote?"
"I can only temporarily configure some detoxification pills, but there are so many people that it is difficult to refine so many," said the military doctor.
"Save some now, let's go and prepare, the others go to the cafeteria, all the people in the canteen are arrested, I want to scrape them alive", Yao Jingcheng said angrily.
At this time, in the mountains and forests, Li Dufeng and others saw the chaotic military camp and wailed all over the field.
"It's time, the poison has taken effect," Lin Zixu said as he looked at Li Dufeng.
"The elders of the Divine Sword Valley and the Ranger Commander led the three of us to join forces to block Yao Jingcheng, Lin Zixu, you lead all the other disciples to kill together, and there will be no armor left," Li Dufeng said.
"Yes", Lin Zixu shot out the special spirit arrow made by Tianhua Sect, and a huge attack order immediately appeared in the sky.
