Chapter 674: Hope for Water to Quench Your Thirst
"I really can't think of anything other than that!"
Lu Siniang's eyes showed a little confusion and disbelief, but she still said seriously.
"Lord Situ, you must have stepped into the realm of the Grandmaster!"
"Or maybe his realm hasn't reached the realm of a grandmaster, but his combat power is no less than that of any martial arts grandmaster!"
"That's a martial arts master!"
"Even in the Middle Ages, when martial arts were prosperous and grandmasters were everywhere, they could be called the backbone of martial arts!"
"And even more so now ... ”
"The lord has lost his eyes this time... ”
"A young grandmaster with unlimited potential, who may become a martial arts saint, in terms of value, is not under the hidden dragon at all!"
"After all, the hidden dragon is the hidden dragon, and it may achieve great things in the future, but if it is killed, it will be reduced to recklessness, how can there be a grandmaster who will definitely become a martial arts saint!"
Lu Siniang looked at Situ Xing, who was standing on top of the chariot, his whole body looked like white jade, his eyes couldn't help revealing a trace of envy, and he muttered in a low voice.
"If you want me to say, it's still Miss who has vision!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Lu Siniang's praise, Lu Pheasant's face couldn't help but reveal a trace of happiness and embarrassment. Subconsciously raised his phoenix eyes and peeked at Situ Xing, who was standing on the chariot like a god of war.
Situ Xing seemed to have a sense in his heart, turned his head slightly, and the two happened to look at each other.
Lu Pheasant suddenly felt like a deer, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of red cloth, and his fingers gently twisted the corners of his clothes, with indescribable shyness.
Although Situ is not as thin-skinned and shy as Lu Pheasant. But it is also the gaze that dodges, and the eyes reveal a kind of happiness and surprise.
Lu Pheasant hung his head a little shyly, wanting to step forward and close the curtains, but he was a little reluctant in his heart.
Sitting there with a hot face, I don't know how to deal with it.
Lu Siniang was still quick and closed the curtains, isolating the eyes of Situ Xing and Lu Pheasant.
Situ Xing watched the cyan curtains being closed, and he and Lu Pheasant could no longer communicate with each other, and a little pity inevitably rose in his heart.
But he didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, during this period of getting along, although the two of them did not pierce the layer of window paper, they already had the answer in their hearts.
That is, if you are not a king, you will not marry!
If you don't marry!
One is affectionate, the other is intentional ...
。。。
Bang!
Bang!
The army marched forward like a torrent of steel, and the places it passed, whether it was mountains and rocks, or charred grass and trees, were instantly turned into ashes.
But slowly, the red traces on the rocks became lighter and lighter, and the black dust became less and less, and in the end, a layer of white powder remained.
Li Ling, who was a little disgraced, looked ahead with some joy.
Because hundreds of meters ahead, he actually saw a touch of emerald green.
This also indicates that the army is about to come out of the Eagle's Beak Cliff!
Barren!
Dead!
Although the eagle's beak cliff is safe, everything there is gray, like hell, giving people an indescribable sense of desolation and death, and even more indescribable depression and despair from the bottom of their hearts.
Seeing the green color again makes people feel an indescribable joy from the bottom of their hearts.
In Li Ling's view, that touch of green represents the hope of life, and it also shows that they have slowly approached the edge of the eagle's beak cliff.
As long as you travel a certain distance, you will completely get out of that barren, dead world.
Burst!
Burst!
Burst!
Syllable!
The whole body is covered in black particles, and it looks like a clay man's pawn's eyes are dull, and there is some numbness and mechanical forward.
Their footsteps landed on the thick dust, the ashes, and made a muffled popping sound.
Wisps of ash rose and lingered over their armor.
Fortunately, the soldiers' bodies were already covered in ashes, so they didn't care, to be exact, there was nothing too good to do.
After all, they are not Fan Gou'er, not Lu Siniang, and not Situ!
Not to mention that they are just soldiers in the realm of martial artists, even Xue Li, who commands thousands of troops, Li Ling and the others also have faint ink marks on their bodies.
However, this also allows everyone to discover the level of combat power very intuitively.
Situ Xing's combat power is comparable to that of a grandmaster, so he has the least dust on his body.
Fan Gou'er is a congenital peak, a half-step grandmaster, although the dust on his body is a lot more than that of Situ Xing, but there is only a faint layer.
Xue Li and Yang Shou are in the middle of the congenital stage, slightly worse than Fan Gou'er, and most of their bodies are covered with dust.
Li Ling, Xia Haibo is worse, and there is more dust on their bodies.
Just as there was a secret struggle in the center, the voice under the soldier's feet suddenly changed. It's no longer that dull, but it's a little crisp.
The pace also became much brisker, as if the ankle had been pulled out of the mud, and the eyes that were a little numb suddenly showed a hint of joy.
It's out!
It's finally out...
Li Ling hurriedly stepped forward, looking at the cyan ground under his feet, as well as the vibrant flowers and plants, his eyes couldn't help but show a little joy.
The heart that was clenched was slowly put down, and the whole body was even more indescribably relaxed.
There are many cliffs, and the craggy eagle's beak cliff gives him too much pressure.
Let him keep a thread in his heart all the time.
Walking out of the eagle's beak cliff, stepping on the hard ground with the soles of his feet, and seeing the fresh and beautiful flowers and plants, the thread that made him tighten suddenly relaxed a lot.
Perhaps it was the long-lost sense of security that made Li Ling's body suddenly loosen.
The look of guard in his eyes also became a lot looser.
This is also the reason why Humpty Dumpty Daoist chose to set up an ambush nearby.
The longer people spend in dangerous environments, the more they crave safety.
Once they are in what they think is safe, their tense minds will instantly become relaxed.
"I'm dying of thirst!"
"Who says it isn't!"
"The eagle's beak cliff of Nuoda was burned to ashes by a fire!"
"I walked for most of the day and didn't drink a sip of water, how could I not be thirsty?"
The soldiers licked their chapped lips and looked around hopefully, hoping to find a source of water and take a few sips.
But they are doomed to disappointment!
Because, there is no running water here at all. In other words, even if there is running water, it will be dried by the fire.
"I can't walk!"
"I really can't walk!"
"It's so uncomfortable!"
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, the soldiers slumped on the ground like dominoes, opened their mouths, like fish leaving the water, and kept complaining.
This kind of emotion seems to be contagious, but in just half an hour, most of the people in the Suzaku Camp have shown signs of thirst and dehydration.
"Get up!"
"Get it all up!"
Looking at the sick and sick, like a dehydrated soldier, Li Ling's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he reprimanded loudly with some dissatisfaction.
"Your Excellency!"
"It's not that the brothers are lazy!"
"It's really that the environment inside is really bad, there is flying dust everywhere, and because it has just been burned by the flames, it is surprisingly dry!"
"Don't say it's them, even the last general has a sore throat, and I can't wait to drink a bucket of water!"
Seeing that Li Ling's face was a little unswerving, the deputy general hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
Li Ling looked around with a gloomy face, although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he also had to admit that what the deputy general said made sense.
After a long journey, the soldiers spent a lot of physical strength.
And because of the flames, there was a surprising lack of water, and now that he walked out of the eagle's beak cliff, the motivation in his heart was relaxed, and this was like dominoes falling one after another.
However, as a qualified commander, in addition to being brave in battle, you must also be able to control the dynamics of the army at all times.
Be good at using strategy!
Although this matter is tricky, it can't help Li Ling!
After all, he is also a general, and he has also studied the strategy and military books.
And, most importantly, there are precedents for such a thing in history!
Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, also encountered this situation when the commander's army was on the expedition, and the soldiers were afraid of war because of the lack of water.
In order to re-motivate the soldiers, Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, told them that there was a plum forest ahead.
The plums inside are big, sweet, and delicious... Just walk for a while and you'll have water to drink!
The soldiers believed it, regained their fighting spirit, and finally reached their destination.
This is the very famous story in history, "Wangmei quenches thirst".
Li Ling is doing the same now, but he is not looking at Mei to quench his thirst, but to look at water to quench his thirst!
