Chapter 40: Fierce Infighting!
Seeing that Lu Chen took the initiative to dismount, several nearby mountain bandits immediately rushed towards him with machetes, and when they saw a few mountain bandits rushing towards him, they saw Lu Chen touch his waist with one hand, and then quickly shook his hand, accompanied by a few cold flashes in the air, the movements of these mountain bandits suddenly froze.

Plop plop plop~
These mountain bandits fell to the ground one after another, and when they saw this scene, the mountain bandits who rushed over behind glanced at Lu Chen in horror and quickly retreated. This clear-eyed boy is even more terrifying than the devil in their eyes!
During this period of fighting, the seemingly clear-eyed young man in front of him had already killed sixty or seventy of them, and at this time, because of Lu Chen's crazy killing, the advantage of these mountain bandits was gone.
Seeing that Lu Chen was still killing frantically, the big man who spoke before said loudly with a little horror on his face, "Brothers, let's withdraw!" ”
After speaking, the big man ran into the mountains and forests without looking back, and the other mountain bandits also hurriedly ran towards the woods when they saw this.
Seeing this, those soldiers wanted to chase after them, but they were stopped by Lu Chen, and he said lightly, "Clean up the battlefield, let's move on!" "Because of the battle just now, after these soldiers saw Lu Chen's strength, no one refuted Lu Chen's decision, and they all stopped pursuing.
At this time, the captain of more than 100 soldiers came to Lu Chen, and said with some concerns, "General, what the big man said just now is very likely to be true, we go now, those mountain bandits will definitely not let us pass!" ”
Lu Chen sighed lightly, then took out the map and looked at it carefully for a while, and said helplessly, "If we take a detour, the trip will be delayed for three or four days, not to mention, and we will have to pass through the dangerous Dead Soul Ridge." It's not safer, or even more dangerous! ”
Hearing that the detour was going to pass through the Dead Soul Ridge, Li Xinran, who had been staying in the carriage, couldn't help but walk out, and said with some fear, "We'd better not go there, I heard that people who go from there are likely to be killed by dead souls."
Hearing Li Xinran's words, Lu Chen fell into thought again...........
This Dead Soul Ridge is famous in this vicinity and even in Chang'an City, and it is rumored that there were two great powers fighting there a long time ago. On the day of the decisive battle, the two sides launched a fierce battle, I don't know how many soldiers were sacrificed, one of the armies finally killed all the hostile forces, however, before they could leave the battlefield, a rain of arrows suddenly appeared in the sky. It turned out that their monarch saw that this army was too strong, and was afraid that they would rebel when they returned, so when these people had just defeated and were defenseless, the monarch secretly sent an army to shoot them to death!
Instead of being killed by hostile forces, they were killed by the monarch to whom they were loyal, and these people had endless resentment and unwillingness at the moment of death! These resentments and unwillingness refused to dissipate for a long time, and eventually evolved into Dead Souls, constantly wandering around Dead Soul Ridge.
For this legend, if it was Lu Chen in his previous life, he would definitely scoff at it, and at most it would be regarded as a supernatural story, but because of the inexplicable crossing not long ago and the appearance of the mysterious dagger, Lu Chen's concept has subtly undergone a huge change.
Could it be that there really are dead souls in this world?
However, no matter what, now is not the time to venture and explore, Lu Chen finally decided to move on, after all, no matter how powerful the mountain bandits in front are, they are still people!
As for this Dead Soul Ridge, Lu Chen will definitely go there when he has time in the future. All kinds of phenomena show that the Tang Dynasty he crossed into does not seem to be the Tang Dynasty he knew in his previous life, and if he wants to solve this kind of mystery, he must go to those strange places, and only from where can he find some clues.
Seeing that Lu Chen decided to move on, Li Xinran returned to the carriage with confidence, compared to the mountain bandits, she didn't want to provoke those dead souls, human beings have always been very in awe of ghosts and gods.
The convoy continued to move forward, but everyone looked very wary on their faces. They all know that next, I'm afraid there will be a big war.
As they continued to move forward, the surroundings became silent again, as if even the insects and birds had become fewer, and the surroundings gradually showed a solemn aura.
At this time, Lu Chen, who was riding a horse at the front, suddenly stared, only to see him quickly jump off the sweaty and bloody horse, and then walked towards the woods, after seeing Lu Chen's movements, Li Xinran also walked down from the carriage and followed him to the woods.
Lu Chen stopped after walking a few steps, Li Xinran stepped forward, and saw several corpses lying on the grass, all of them were in the same black clothes, and there was a cyan dragon embroidered on their chests, this should be a member of the Jade Dragon Gang. However, the extent of their infighting was somewhat beyond Lu Chen's expectations.
It's not uncommon for a gang to fight each other, but it's unusual for this to happen.
However, this is a good thing for Lu Chen and the others, if the mountain bandits are very fierce, then they will not have the energy to intercept Lu Chen and the others again.
They were slowly moving forward on the official road, and by this moment, they had penetrated deep into the territory of the Jade Dragon Gang. Along the way, they encountered a lot of corpses of mountain bandits, and there were several shocking scars on the corpses, obviously they had experienced a very tragic battle before they died, and there were fifty or sixty corpses they saw alone, which made Lu Chen realize that the infighting of the Jade Dragon Gang had probably reached the point of shaking the foundation, or even more serious.
However, he didn't care about these Lu Chen, he just wanted to pass by here safely, looking at the corpses that still appeared from time to time in front of him, Lu Chen made the team speed up, they were now about to get out of the territory of the Jade Dragon Gang, as long as they passed through the woods in front of them.
The official road cut the forest in half and passed straight through the middle, probably because there were not many people walking on this pipe, and the weeds on the road had covered the road.
The convoy slowly entered the woods, and there were still some corpses of mountain bandits lying around, but at this moment, Lu Chen's eyes paused, and he saw him dismount again, walked to a corpse, and gently touched the corpse with his hand.
There is body temperature!
Feeling the temperature coming from this mountain bandit, and even the wound was not completely condensed, Lu Chen's eyes looked forward solemnly, those mountain bandits should be nearby!
Lu Chen returned to the convoy, came to Li Xinran's carriage, and after explaining some things to her, he said, "I'll go to the front first, you wait for me here for half a day, and if I haven't come back after half a day, don't continue to move forward!" ”
"No! It's too dangerous for you to explore the path on your own! Hearing that Lu Chen was going to go alone, Li Xinran immediately refused with a resolute face.
