Chapter 167: Snowy Night

Avalanche?

Li Jin was shocked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Avalanches, which he had never seen in modern times, but he had occasionally seen reports on the TV news that the devastation caused by avalanches was horrific enough to bury all living things.

"Rush forward!"

He roared and shouted, and rode his horse forward with all his might. More than 100 riders were crowded in the mountain recess, and it was too late to turn around and exit, so they had to rush forward desperately.

In the loud sound of the earth shaking the mountain, the snowflakes were raging all over the sky, and a large mountain stone weighing hundreds of pounds rolled down from the top of the mountain, running over the rioting crowd, and several terrible screams came out, mixed with the sad neighing of the war horse.

When the snow and fog cleared, the snow in the recesses of the mountains was full of stumps and broken arms, and the blood stained the snow red.

It was not an avalanche, but a boulder on the mountain that suddenly loosened and rolled down, crushing more than a dozen Royal Forest Army men and horses.

All of them turned pale and bloodless with horror, rejoicing that their luck was better than that of their comrades in distress.

The frightened Gonggong Ding was stunned for a long time, and ordered the soldiers to continue to advance, and all the royal forest soldiers, including Li Jin, cursed the dead eunuch Seventh and Eighth Generations without JJ, and one by one with great resentment in their hearts, they continued to move forward.

Half a mile ahead, the mountain road is even more rugged and difficult, and the war horses cannot pass, so only a hundred people can be left to guard the war horses, and everyone walks forward and climbs up the mountain.

Climbing the mountain on this snowy day, it's really fucking life-threatening, accidentally falling and falling, it must be very miserable, and Ding's JJ was cursed by all the royal forest soldiers to the point that it would be impossible to grow up again for a hundred lifetimes.

Everyone trembled and climbed up the mountain, and in some places it was so slippery that they had to pierce the snow with their weapons to prevent them from slipping and falling down the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, two unlucky men stumbled and fell down the mountain, and although the snow was so thick that they would not die, they also broke their heads and broke their hands and feet, and they had to be carried back by a few companions.

Finally climbed to the top of the mountain, Gonggong Ding asked urgently: "Attached to the horse, in which direction?" ”

Li Jin pointed to the rolling mountains in front of him and said with a wry smile: "...... ahead"

Gonggong Ding groaned, sat down on the snow, cried and mourned, and gasped for breath, "Master Fuma, then aren't we going to spend this night in the mountains?" ”

"There's no way, I'm going to stay up all night......"

Gonggong Ding groaned in pain, and his facial features were wrinkled.

Spending the night in the deep mountains of this icy and snowy place was a sin, not only the painful expression on his face, but also the expression of the Imperial Forester who was standing nearby and heard their conversation very painful.

Stay in the imperial capital, why did you come to this ghost place at this time?

Li Jin shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Let's go, camp on the opposite mountain before dark." ”

The group of Royal Forest soldiers who sat down on the snow and gasped for breath stood up and walked down the mountain helplessly.

On this snowy day, thick snow is piled up everywhere, just sit on the snow and slide down the mountain, just like taking an elevator and sliding to the foot of the mountain in a few clicks.

It is easy to go down the mountain, but it is difficult to go up the mountain, at this time, the cold wind howls, blowing more fiercely than before, the goose feather snow is denser and heavier, although everyone covers their noses with cloth towels, but the eyebrows are covered with a layer of ice.

This peak is steeper than the mountain coin just now, and it is much more difficult to climb, and the faces of all the royal forest soldiers are wrinkled into bitter melons, and they all curse and climb up the mountain.

It was nearly evening, and everyone climbed to the top, and this time, everyone was small-winged, but no one slipped and fell down the mountain.

They chose a leeward hollow, cut down trees, set up camp, built tents, collected dry firewood, lit a spring fire, and set fire to gnaw dry food.

After climbing the mountain all day, they were so tired that they fell apart, except for those who were in charge of standing guard and patrolling the border, everyone was crowded into the tent to sleep.

The north wind howled and swept the snowflakes into the air, and soon a layer of snow fell on the top of the tent.

Another fierce cold wind whistled, mixed with a terrible scream, which startled the soldiers standing guard and jumped to their feet.

Someone rushed to the sound with torches, and the two companions who were in charge of standing guard at the back gate were gone, and there were their abandoned weapons on the snow, and there were obvious traces of heavy objects dragging them, and a line of frighteningly large footprints stretched forward.

The footprint was only four toes, as thick as a wooden basin, ten inches deep, and the span between the two footprints was very large.

Suddenly someone was stunned, and all the soldiers drew their weapons and looked around in horror.

Li Jin and Gonggong Ding followed the sound and frowned at the big footprints on the ground.

On this continent, there are indeed all kinds of giant beasts, and when they go deep into the wilderness, they can occasionally see the skeleton of a pair of giant beasts, estimated to be no smaller than an adult elephant.

There are also fierce beasts in the mountains and forests around Cangyue?

Li Jin led the people to search forward along the footprints on the ground, and the footprints extended to the withered woods to the bottom of the mountain.

It was impossible for them to search down the mountain, and those two unlucky bastards standing guard would have already become a meal for the behemoths.

When he threw it back, a painful howl suddenly came from behind him, which shocked Li Jin and the others to jump.

This frightening atmosphere, even a single strange noise, would frighten all those who were nervous.

A Royal Guards soldier lay on the ground, groaning in pain, his right foot not small enough to step into a small crack, and his foot broke off.

Damn, another unlucky ghost guard,

Someone stepped forward, pulled his foot out of the crack, and walked back with his arms.

"Ahh

Another unlucky ghost suddenly howled miserably and suddenly disappeared into the vast expanse of snow.

There was a bottomless black hole there, and the unlucky man stepped on it and immediately swallowed it up.

This time, Li Jin did not curse Huang Fuxiong and Ding Gonggong, but cursed Su Yuyang, and there was no need to make a fake treasure cave so thrilling and scary, right?

Fortunately, it was the Imperial Forest Army, not his guards, otherwise when he went back, he would definitely have to settle accounts with Su Yuyang.

Everyone returned to the camp tremblingly, picked up a large number of dead branches, piled them up around the camp and burned them, and illuminated the whole mountain top.

Gonggong Ding personally inspected the camp and ordered the soldiers to fortify the camp in case the giant beast suddenly broke into the camp.

After tossing for most of the night, even if I was so sleepy that I wanted to sleep, I was also scared by the successive events just now.

The soldiers gathered around the fire and looked around the camp nervously, fearing that an unknown beast would suddenly rush in.

Li Jin patted Yu Hongxue's shoulder, "Hongxue, I hope the brothers will be careful themselves." ”

Yu Hongxue nodded and whispered in anticipation.

Li Jin got into his tent, and when he lay down, he suddenly felt the earth shake.

Damn, what's the weird thing?

There was a huge rumbling sound from the top of the peak, not only Li Jin heard it, but everyone in the camp heard it, and they looked up at the high peak one by one.

Although it was night, piles of spring fires burned around the camp, illuminating the entire mountaintop.

The rumbling sound of rolling shook the top of the mountain, and the snow was mixed with many pieces of rubble falling and filling the smoke.

"Run!"

Li Jin, who felt bad, shouted loudly and rushed out, and Yu Hongxue and other guards also hurriedly followed out of the recess of the mountain.

With a loud bang, several boulders rolled down from the top of the peak and smashed into the camp, and with the help of huge inertia, the boulders crushed the tents into pieces, crushing the soldiers who fled for their lives to pieces.

Watching the boulder rumble past him, the soldiers who were shocked by the mistake were knocked into the flesh and blood, and the screams were endless, and Li Jin and the others were so shocked that their faces were pale and bloodless.

There is no doubt that the boulders on the summit suddenly rolled down, it was man-made, and there were enemies on the summit who wanted to kill them.

From the moment they entered the mountain, someone was watching their every move, waiting for an opportunity to move.

The first rock suddenly fell from the top of the mountain, but I was afraid that it was also the enemy on the top of the mountain, but I couldn't grasp their whereabouts for a while, so I didn't attack them with stones one after another.

If it had been before, if they had attacked while they were asleep, most of them would have been killed under these large stones, and the attack of the giant beast would have led them to avoid this fate.

After all, the Imperial Forest Army was selected and composed of veterans who had experienced a hundred battles, and soon settled down from the chaos of the panic courtyard, and under the orders of the officers, they formed a large circle formation to protect Gonggong Ding, Li Jin and others in the middle.

Some of the Guards were busy helping their comrades whose hands and feet had been broken by boulders, carrying them to the clearing, medicating and bandaging them, groaning in pain.

Gonggong Ding's face was gloomy, and he shouted sharply: "Come on, kill the peak, and take down the assassin for the miscellaneous family!" ”

The mountain peak is steep, and it is impossible to deploy troops at all, and there are many good players in the Royal Forest Army, holding swords to approach the bottom of the mountain, and then climb up.

The two dozen or so Imperial Foresters had only climbed halfway to the summit when a pile of stones suddenly fell from the peak, and two soldiers were hit in the head by the stones, and when they fell to the ground, they were already dead. Five or six were smashed and retreated.

"Up, retreat from the battle, treat it as a deserter, behead!"

Gonggong Ding was ruthless, and ordered the Royal Forest Army to continue to climb up.

The Guards had no choice but to climb up, and they were greeted by piles of stones.

"Boss, I'm on!"

Yu Hongxue's figure rose and fell, a few ups and downs, and it was close to the bottom of the peak, and then inhaled and burst up, like an angry eagle soaring into the sky, flying straight to the peak.

In the piercing roar, two cold rays shot out from the peak, hitting the feather red snow in mid-air.

Yu Hongxue's figure writhed strangely in mid-air, and it was able to avoid the attack of the hidden weapon.

Two more cold rays shot out, his body sank suddenly, and the whole person suddenly fell down, and two cold rays roared past his head.

On tiptoe on the stone wall of the peak, Yu Hongxue's figure burst out again, like a furious eagle soaring into the sky, and continued to fly towards the peak, his extremely dashing figure provoked bursts of cheers from the Royal Forest Army.

The Foresters who climbed to the top of the mountain were hit by rocks and fell to the ground.

"I'm so angry!"

Gonggong Ding snorted coldly, his figure suddenly shot forward, jumped to the top of the mountain in the blink of an eye, and flew up from the other side.

A big stone roared down, he screamed, his body twisted strangely in mid-air, his toes slammed a little on the falling stone, and he burst up with force, and with a snort, he jumped up again, as fast as a meteor.

The enemy on the summit seemed to have dispersed, and no more stones fell, and by the time Ding Gonggong and Yu Hongxue climbed to the top of the peak, the assassins had already fled from another place except for the messy footprints on it.

"Damn, I'm so angry!"

Father-in-law Ding, who was pale, suddenly slapped his palm on a big tree beside him.

There was a loud sound, and the big tree couldn't stand the palm he struck out angrily, and it snapped and fell down with a bang. For a while, the snow and fog were filled, and he and Yu Hongxue were sprinkled with white snow.

"Let the miscellaneous family catch you, hum!"

Yu Hongxue is a cold-blooded and ruthless killer, and when she heard the eerie cold snort of Gonggong Ding, she couldn't help but feel chills all over her body.

The Assassins had retreated, and the messy footprints on the ground showed that there were eight Assassins, six men and two women.

After tossing all night, I didn't even see the face of the assassin, the Royal Forest Army killed thirty-one people, crippled six people, slightly injured thirteen people, and broke two pavilions out of ten, making Gonggong Ding so angry that his face turned pale.

The Guards tidied up the camp and buried their dead companions on the spot, while the tents were moved to the empty flat ground, and they did not dare to set up tents under the mountain peaks.

Anyway, no one was sleepy in this trouble, and they warmed themselves around the fire, and finally survived this long night.

After nibbling on the dry food, Gonggong Ding asked with a worried look on his face: "Master Attached Ma, what should I do next?" ”

Li Jin said indifferently: "Father-in-law, you are the boss." ”

The officers of the Royal Forest Army gathered on the side all showed disdainful expressions on their faces, it is not a trick to lead the army to fight, how can a eunuch who has never been on the battlefield lead it?

Gonggong Ding rubbed his hands and said hurriedly: "Ouch, Master Ma, don't be polite to the miscellaneous family, let's talk about your thoughts." ”

The eager eyes of all the officers of the Royal Forest Army were focused on Li Jin, expecting him to lead the team.

Attached to the horse is a young general of the empire who has been digging up quickly since the great general Xu Wei, and his prestige has surpassed that of General Xu, and he has the potential to catch up with the five famous marshals of the mainland, and is highly admired and worshiped by the soldiers of the empire.

"Okay, then I'm welcome."

Li Jin's reluctant expression made Gonggong Ding and all the officers of the Imperial Forest Army breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Jin issued a series of orders, leaving one hundred and fifty soldiers with slightly weaker constitutions to guard the camp and take care of their wounded companions, and the rest of the men to bring enough dry food for a day, take off their heavy armor, and advance lightly.

It's icy and snowy, the snow piled up on the ground is no longer up to the calves, and wearing such a heavy armor is very cumbersome.

There are dozens of pounds of weight on his body, and the whole person is much more flexible.

Slide down this mountain, climb the first mountain on the opposite side, then slide down again, and climb up another mountain to reach the so-called "treasure cave".

After Li Jin slid down the mountain with 200 lightly armed soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army, he stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at the five steep mountains in front of him.

It is said that there are five mountains, but in fact, the mountains are connected to each other, and the five peaks that stand tall are like the Five Finger Mountains that suppressed Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West".

Those eight mysterious enemies must be on one of the peaks, waiting for them to climb up and die.
