Chapter 1342: Monsters in the Water

From Li Min's view until near noon, when the soldiers of the Han army who opened the road were exhausted one by one, a Han soldier suddenly shouted: "Valley! There is a valley ahead! ”

The soldier's shout was like a potion to strengthen the heart, and the lifeless army instantly came to life with his shout.

Everyone craned their necks and looked ahead.

The Han army behind, although they were on tiptoe, trying to see what was in front of them, but what they saw was only Tong Ze who was pressed into pieces in black.

The Han army at the front saw a long canyon in front of them through the gap between the trees.

The topography of this canyon is extremely special.

It is located in the middle of the jungle, but there is not a single tree in the canyon, only lush blades of grass swaying in the wind.

"Waterfall!" While many Han soldiers saw the canyon, the voice of a soldier reached everyone's ears.

Following the direction of the soldier's finger, the soldiers of the Han army, who were already extremely hungry and thirsty, saw a waterfall falling from the cliff like Bai Lian through the gap between the trees!

Seeing the waterfall, the soldiers suddenly let out a shout, and more people joined the ranks of opening the way.

Rows of trees were brought down, and seeing that the passage was about to be opened, the soldiers of the Han army were becoming more and more excited, and many even looked at the waterfall flowing in the distance and couldn't stop licking their lips.

Staring at the waterfall that flowed straight down, the expression on the guide's face was unusually solemn, and he was not as excited as the soldiers of the Han army.

"What's wrong?" Realizing that the look on his face was wrong, Zhuge Jun asked him, "Could it be that this waterfall is also poisonous?" ”

"Nope!" Shaking his head, the guide clasped his fists and bowed to Zhuge Jun and said: "Seeing this waterfall, the villain just thought of coming here back then and seeing a villager being dragged into the water by a monster in the pool. The general can warn the army not to linger too long by the waterhole! ”

"There's a monster in the pool?" With a twist of his brows, Zhuge Jun was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What kind of monster is it?" Can you see it back then? ”

"Back to the general!" Maintaining a fist-hugging and bowing posture, the guide said: "We were all panicked that day, and we didn't see what kind of monster it was!" ”

After looking at the guide from head to toe, Zhuge Jun instructed the soldiers behind him: "Pass the order, the army has arrived in front of the waterfall, the rear team will rewind the crossbow, aim at the deep pool, and the front team will take water for the army to drink!" ”

"No!" Seeing that the jungle blocking the way was getting thinner and thinner, the soldiers responded and conveyed Zhuge Jun's order to the army.

The soldiers of the Han army, who were just waiting to rush out of the jungle and rush to the waterfall, were a little lost when they got this order.

But earlier in the jungle, they witnessed hundreds of Han soldiers dying in the mountains and forests because they disobeyed orders and drank water from the poisonous spring, or they all resisted the urge to rush to the waterfall and took off the crossbow arrows from their backs.

With the sound of trees falling to the ground, the road was finally opened, and 20,000 Han troops poured out of the mountains and forests.

Running at the forefront was the elephant soldiers led by Dian Wei.

The Han infantry had not gone far before the elephant soldiers had already rushed to the vicinity of the waterfall.

The waterfall that hangs down like a white practice falls into the cold pool, stirring up patches of water and making a loud noise.

The elephant soldiers who rushed out of the forest also received Zhuge Jun's order, and they desperately tried to stop the war elephants from running towards the waterfall, but the thirsty war elephants, where did they pay attention to their shouts, and quickly ran to the cold pool, picked up the water with their long noses, and poured it into their mouths.

Earlier, when they encountered a poisonous spring, the war elephants refused to drink water, but at this time, they rushed to the edge of the cold pool, and used their long noses to pick up the water and drink it, so that the soldiers of the Han army knew that the water source here was very clean and could be used for people and animals to drink.

The war elephants in the front were drinking water, and the elephants that rushed up behind pushed them into the water with their heavy bodies, and the cold pool, which was not very wide, was soon crowded with war elephants and elephant soldiers lying on the back of the elephants.

Many war elephants fell into the water, and the Han cavalry and infantry that followed behind did not dare to jump into the water to play like them.

War elephants are large and have few natural predators, and they jump into the cold pool, even if there are any monsters in the pool, they will not be afraid.

Compared with the strong war elephants, the men and horses were much weaker, and the cavalry leading the horses and the infantry walking on their legs were blocked on the periphery, and they could only watch the war elephants and elephant soldiers drink the sweet pool of water, but they could not squeeze forward at all.

Seeing the elephant soldiers rushing into the cold pool, Zhuge Jun frowned and asked the guide: "If there are monsters in the pool, so many soldiers jump into it, why don't you see monsters appear?" ”

"General, let's let the army not go into the water!" Looking at the cold pool under the waterfall, the guide said: "Although the monster is fierce, the war elephant is huge after all, even if they are dormant in the water, they can't help the elephant ......."

After thinking about it carefully, Zhuge Jun felt that it made sense, nodded and instructed the soldiers behind him: "Pass the order, and the elephant soldiers will fetch water for the whole army nearby!" ”

After receiving the order, the soldiers ran towards Hantan quickly, and while running, he also shouted loudly: "The general has an order, and the elephant soldiers will fetch water for the whole army!" ”

Zhuge Jun's order was issued, and the elephant soldiers who were squeezed into the water on the back of the war elephant touched the water bladder thrown from the shore, bent down, and picked up the water nearby.

A water bladder filled with clear water was thrown to the shore by the elephant soldiers, and the soldiers of the Han army who were waiting on the shore rushed forward and grabbed the water bladder, all of which were a "goo dong dong" pour.

The cool pool water poured into the mouth, and the throat, which was almost dry to the point of bursting into flames, was suddenly refreshed.

The Han soldiers who had drunk a full stream of water sat down on the ground one after another, rubbing their stomachs one by one and moaning in satisfaction, and even some people were rubbing their stomachs while burping with water.

In the cold pool, the elephant soldiers were still riding on the backs of the war elephants, bending down to draw water from the cold pool.

"What's that?" Suddenly, there was an exclamation in the cold pool, and an elephant soldier threw away the water bladder in his hand, quickly jumped up and stood on the elephant's back, pointing to a black shadow in the pool and exclaimed.

Beneath the surface of the water, there was a dark shadow, which was not stationary, but swam towards the bottom of the war elephant at a very fast speed.

More and more elephant soldiers found black shadows, but in an instant, almost all of them stood on the back of the elephant, staring at the water with alarm.

The black shadow burrowed under the horde of war elephants as if it had never appeared, and quickly vanished.

"Ashore!" On the shore, Zhuge Jun, who realized that something was not right, hurriedly shouted to the soldiers of the Han army in the waterhole.

The elephant soldiers, who had received the order, hurriedly drove the war elephants and rushed to the shore.

One after another, the war elephants left the cold pool, and patches of water stirred on the water.

The elephants scrambled to leave the cold pool, but the infantry on the shore had already put their arrows on the crossbows and aimed them at the water.

The soldiers of the Han army with strong crossbows didn't dare to blink their eyes and stare at the water surface more, for fear that they would miss the black shadow that appeared just now because of the blink of their eyes.

Nearly half of the war elephants came ashore, and just as one of the war elephants was crawling up the shore after the other elephants, a huge splash suddenly jumped on the surface of the water beside it, and a huge figure like a dead wooden stake jumped up from under the water and pounced on one of the elephants on the back of the elephant.

Caught off guard, the elephant soldier was bitten by the monster's wide open jaw, and before he could even scream, he was carried into the water by the monster.

This qiē happened so quickly that the soldiers of the Han army with strong crossbows didn't react at all, and watched as one of their Tongze was thrown into the water by the monster.

"What's that?" Seeing a monster pounce an elephant soldier into the water, Zhuge Jun on the shore shouted to the guide and asked.

The guide didn't respond, and he didn't know what it was.

The rivers of the Southern Barbarian Realm are often infested with crocodiles, but crocodiles don't have the speed of that kind of monster at all, Zhuge Jun wants to get an explanation from him, and he is destined to be disappointed!

The first monster appeared, followed by countless splashes, and one after another monsters jumped out of the water and pounced on the elephant soldiers on the back of the elephant.

Although they are huge, they are still slightly small compared to war elephants, and it is impossible for them to be effective in killing war elephants.

These monsters seem to have human intelligence, and when they come out, the targets they choose to attack are all small and weak elephant soldiers on the back of elephants.

One by one, the elephant soldiers who didn't have time to react were thrown into the water by the monsters, and the Han troops on the shore finally reacted, shooting arrows at the monsters that jumped out of the water.

The originally clear water of the pool suddenly turned red because of the predation of the monster target soldiers and the arrows shot by the Han soldiers on the shore to pierce the bodies of the monsters.

The elephant soldiers in the water were also panicked under the attack of the monster, urging the war elephants to speed up their landing.

Clenching his fists tightly and staring at the waterhole, the muscles on Zhuge Jun's cheeks twitched violently.

The waterfall is located at the entrance of the Valley of Broken Souls, where the soldiers had just drunk the water when they were attacked by monsters in the pool.

In this Broken Soul Valley, what are the more difficult things to deal with, which makes Zhuge Jun very uncertain in his heart.

Patches of arrows hit the leaping monster, and the monster fell into the water, rippling with crimson ripples on the water.

Monsters leaping out of the water are extremely fast, and every time they pounce, they bite an elephant soldier and fall into the water.

It's just a scene in an instant, and the elephant soldiers who drove the war elephants to the shore have more than 100 people buried in the mouths of the monsters, and when the war elephants landed on the shore, there were even a few heads, and there was no sign that anyone had survived.
