Chapter 90: The Far North
Hua Mulan and a group of eleven people walked slowly in this scattered white crisp in the long north. They laughed and cursed, and with the faint torches, they advanced into the deep hinterland of the north.
Through the information shared by Mulan, all kinds of unexpected information about the demons, as well as everyone's speculation and discussion with each other. Each member of the team has the most basic psychological preparation for dealing with the demons, as well as a general understanding.
Unconsciously, the group walked forward for two hours in the seemingly silent wilderness. Mulan suddenly saw from a distance, not far ahead, there was a faintly flickering bonfire, swaying in the wind. Hua Mulan quickly spoke: "Extinguish the last torch too, there is movement ahead." ”
Hua Qilin held the torch and walked behind Mulan. Suddenly, he heard the captain's urgent order, and extinguished the torch in the blink of an eye. Everyone hurriedly squatted down, and looked along the place where Mulan was looking, and there was indeed a trace of a bonfire burning in the distance.
"Captain, is there a fire in front of you?" Hua Qilin asked with a suppressed voice.
"Where is there anyone here but us?! Mulan paused, and at the same time untied the dry food and package on her body and put it on the ground. Then he continued: "Xiaozi, you come with me to the front to investigate, and the others are waiting here." ”
He unloads his equipment, takes off his crossbow from his back, and holds it on his chest. Follow Mulan's pace, and walk cautiously towards the place where the bonfire is shining in the distance. It wasn't until they approached the campfire that the two of them saw what was going on.
It turned out that more than a dozen demons were playing around the bonfire, and some were wrestling with each other; Some of them are talking to each other in a language they don't understand, and they must be using a magic language; Others watched the battle from the sidelines, making strange noises from time to time, as if they were shouting and cheering. There was a huge fish roasted on the bonfire, and it was obvious that the demons would get so carried away because they wanted to eat fish, or they wouldn't believe that anyone would dare to set foot in the north.
Behind the small soil slope covered with light white crisps, Xiaozi, who was crawling beside Mulan, asked in a low voice: "Captain, what are they doing, it seems that the behavior of us humans is not the same." What to do next, go back? ”
"We can't go back, so we sneak around them and see what's going on behind them. I think these demons are not as simple as having a dinner here, they are likely to be the patrol guards here. "Mulan Road.
Hearing the captain's command, Xiao Zi swallowed a mouthful of saliva that was slightly surprised.
Then, they always kept a certain distance from the demons around the campfire, and the cats bent their waists, stepped lightly, and carefully walked around the back. Through the faint glow of the campfire in the distance, they gradually saw a towering hillside, and on the hillside, there were dozens of even darker holes, like the blood mouth of the demon race.
Xiao Zi suddenly said curiously: "Captain, why is it that there seem to be many caves on the hillside ahead, and the demons don't live in them, right?" ”
"That's right, all of these caves are inhabited by demons, and it seems that we have met one of their tribes." Mulan light road.
"Captain, since we've found out this place, let's go back first, don't wake them up again." Xiaozi Road.
"You wait for me here, I'll go and see in the cave." Before Xiaozi could reply, Mulan untied a cloth bag from her waist and took off the bag cloth, the night pearl inside exuding a faint blue glow.
Xiaozi saw that Hua Mulan took advantage of the faint light of the night pearl to quickly and gently touch the entrance of the cave.
