The distance of the lights was less than ten miles, and the soldiers were united in their enthusiasm, and with a kick of their feet, the horse galloped forward, leaving only a wisp of yellow sand sprinkled into the sky.

Listening to the sound of task completion prompts ringing in his ears, Qiu Xiaobai's heart finally settled down, and the time spent to complete the subsection task was quite reasonable, almost half an hour or so, so that the fifteen subsection task should not take long.

But for what this whole expresses, Qiu Xiaobai is still in a state of half-understanding.

I still remember taking the task from the entrance of the stone elephant of the ancient ruins, and then meeting the army in a spring-filled village, and learning from Wang Defa to obtain the qualification to accompany the army, and then it was led by Second Lieutenant Si Lin to the Cloud Inn, and then accompanied by Yun Ruyan, and then this small town, Second Lieutenant Si Lin went to the border alone, leaving a group of soldiers who were disheartened, if it weren't for Qing Liu'er sacrificing his life to help, I was afraid that the matter of supporting Second Lieutenant Si Lin would not be so smooth.

Speaking of which, thanks to Qing Liu'er's help, but she had no reason to help at all, could it be because a fight next to the stone mill should not be possible, and secretly glanced at Qing Liu'er, who was sitting on a horse and had an excellent demeanor, Qiu Xiaobai couldn't help but be a little confused, and always felt that all this was too sudden.

System prompt: You have received the task in the fourth subsection of the hidden task

Suddenly, another voice prompt sounded, and Qiu Xiaobai was slightly stunned and came to his senses, unexpectedly that the task of the third section had just been completed, and the next task was released so quickly.

So what is the special indication of the name of this mission, is it false and real, true or false, is it elusive, and I haven't touched on specific matters yet, but I'm afraid I don't understand.

The sound of horses' hooves in his ears woke him up, and he looked ahead, and saw that the glimmer of light was getting brighter and brighter, and there was a feeling of gradually opening up, and a sharp and cold fence gradually came into view as the fast horse galloped.

The lone star paved the cold moon, sprinkling the icy light in the sky over the desert, and reflecting the biting cool breeze of the night even colder.

"It's close, we're here"

"This is the border guards, I don't see any mutant creatures?"

"Now Second Lieutenant Silin is saved"

"This place is so dilapidated, it's not even half of our Cloud Inn, it's too thin."

Some soldiers who could not stand the cold shook their bodies and took the opportunity to clamp their thin clothes, while others could not stand the large temperature difference between day and night, and cursed the weather one after another, so as to change the topic and show others that they were not afraid of the cold.

The spear heads on the fence are sharp and cold, the thick trees and shrubs are cut like fine needles, the herringbone horse-style wrestling is staggered, and there is a row of wooden posts that cross it, aiming the aggressive side outside, this kind of design is really impressive, as long as there is a foreign enemy, the soldiers only need to join hands to hold the wooden pillars and push outward. Moreover, the middle of each fence can be quickly dismantled to achieve the purpose of pursuit and guarding. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading. The fence itself can not only be effectively defended, but also can be used as a weapon for both offense and defense when advancing and retreating.

On both sides of the fence stand two towering guard towers, each of which is three zhang high, standing on each other in the north and south, and you can see various conditions in all directions. The ladder is built on the back of the difficult to detect, and the ladder section is closely distributed, which can be quickly and efficiently climbed up and down, which greatly reduces the reporting time.

A fence was placed between each of the two towers, keeping everything out of the cold, sharp spear heads, and enclosing each other to form a large square formation. Looking out of the fence, you can see tents that are leaning on each other, each with many bulging sacks piled up outside, and I don't know what it contains.

"Everyone be careful, take out the weapons in your hands and guard each other, the situation here is a little critical, it seems that something is not quite right. Ah Qiang, Ah Fei, you two go to the east wall to investigate, Ah Wei, Ah Long, you two go to the west wall to investigate, Ah Shui, Ah Chun, go to the south wall. Remember, you only need to check whether there are any soldiers stationed on the watchtower, and if there is a situation, remember not to collide head-on, just come back in time to report, if there is no situation, you must also come back with a stick of incense. Yun Ruyan waved her hand and ordered everyone to extinguish the torches, looking at the empty watchtower, her expression was full of vigilance, she secretly thought to herself for a while, and waved her hand to gather everyone over.

She reached out and took out a few three-inch bamboo incense sticks from her arms, and handed them to a few people around her, who took the bamboo incense one after another, and then nodded his head heavily, and disappeared into the night like black fog.

"Brothers, this matter is very important, you must not act rashly, and the rescue of Second Lieutenant Silin is the most important thing, there is not the slightest movement in this camp at present, lest there be fraud, so we have to be careful. If you rush in, I am afraid that I will fall into the trap of those mutant creatures, and the guard towers in the three directions have sent a few brothers, in order to ensure their safety, I hope to go to a few brothers to act with them, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, if any brother is willing to go, please take care of yourself. Wang Defa discussed with the two centurions behind him for a while, and then whispered.

After Wang Defa's words, a few more soldiers stood up silently, and then nodded silently, and then quietly divided into three directions and disappeared into the night.

Qing Liu'er beside her also frowned slightly, bent down and sat on the sand, looking at the dark and silent camp with some worry.

Qiu Xiaobai was also a little helpless, and when he was in the middle of this defense, he could obviously feel a shiver from the bottom of his heart, as if he was being stared at by a terrifying wild monster.

In this kind of dangerous environment at any time, it is impossible for all the soldiers to go to bed in the middle of the night without leaving a sentry, and there is obviously something strange in the dark environment, so what is the strange What is the name of this mission?

The monsters on the area map showed that they had reached an unprecedented level of scarlet, and even on the current map, why wasn't there a single movement in the huge camp

"Look, everyone, how is the light in this tent" When everyone was worried and troubled, Wang Defa suddenly became surprised, he quickly sat up from the ground, and then covered his mouth to reduce the sound, and waved his hand slightly to signal everyone to look.

The tents from the east guard tower to the west were lit up one after another, and the light red candlelight shone through the tent curtains, dyeing the sand on the ground with a layer of reddish, as if the candles in the tent sensed some mysterious spiritual power and consciously ignited, and the tents were lit up one after another, like the rising sun continuing to the west.

At this time, he couldn't help but say that everyone could see it, this sudden scene was really terrifying, as if a little fire floated from the darkness, and all the candles in the tent were lit.

"Brothers, listen to the order, quickly enter the state of alert, don't delay" Wang Defa looked at the few people around him, suddenly forced, threw the spear in his hand into the sand, stood upright in the field, and whispered to the soldiers around him.

"Choke", "Ng", "Gnaw"

For a while, the sound of weapons waving was incessant, and the spears were stood in front of the soldiers one after another, and they did not enter the sand of the feet, this sound seemed to have a calming effect in the hearts of many soldiers, from when Wang De played the spear in front of him, the surrounding soldiers also stabilized their bodies and imitated him, and then their expressions were quiet with the spears in the silent sand, and the entire formation was also rectified in a very short time.

The group of brothers who followed Yun Ruyan were all frightened by the strange phenomenon in front of them, and they came back to their senses in a daze, and they also took a position according to the well-trained soldiers, standing in front of them with the big knives in their hands, looking left and right.

"Don't be afraid, this is a trick by those monsters, it's just a trick, everyone stands in place and doesn't move, they can see the other people around them, as long as they don't take the initiative to enter their traps, they will naturally be unscathed." With an approving look in his eyes, Yun Ruyan raised his eyes to look at the tent that was brightly lit in the camp for a while, lowered his voice to the lowest, and said to everyone.

Fortunately, the noise of the soldiers did not startle this foolish person, and there was not the slightest movement in the entire camp tent.

As time passed, everyone's hearts were pressed against a mountain, and everyone's breathing was uncomfortable.

The light of the fire in the tent reflected the shadows of the tent pillars in front of everyone, and the thick shadows of the pillars were like enemies with shields in hand about to attack, and they might be able to reap the lives of everyone present at any time.

Just when everyone was staring at each other in amazement, the lights in the tent suddenly gradually went out, and the tents in the first row from the east slowly dimmed towards the west, like the grass ash that burned out after the wind passed, and there was a clear contrast with the lights that were being lit in the tent in the west.

As bright as day, as dark as ink, the whole process of lighting up seemed to last only a quarter of an hour.

"The lights in this tent have gone out again," Wang Defa's soft exclamation came at this time, he had been paying close attention to everything in the camp, so he noticed the change at the first time.

The fiery red tents spread from east to west like a firelight blown by a strong wind, and everything was real except for the unburned and scorching temperatures.

"What's going on, it looks like someone deliberately set fire to the tent, but after it was extinguished, it was unscathed, what the hell is going on, is someone deliberately lighting and extinguishing the candles" Yun Ruyan looked at the darkness in front of him in surprise, and felt a little dizzy for a while.

"Hey, you've been silent for a long time, what the hell are you thinking" Yun Ruyan nodded thoughtfully, and reached out to push Qiu Xiaobai, who was still immersed in thinking.

"I don't have any ideas, I haven't figured it out yet, I think it's better not to act rashly." Qiu Xiaobai shook his head helplessly, but the name of this task came to mind again.

Is it really related to this sudden phenomenon at the moment, is it that it seems to be obvious, but it is actually false, which obviously indicates that someone's tent is actually unguarded, so it is the best decision to stand still now?

"It's not good, the fire in this tent has come again" Wang Defa looked around with a stern expression, and suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, and the fire that went and returned struck again.

"I think we should find the few sentinels sent out at this time, otherwise we won't even be able to see their bodies later." Qing Liu'er looked at the oncoming firelight, suddenly closed her eyes and shook her head, with a look of regret on her face.

"By the way, this tricky fire is actually just a cover, maybe the purpose is to deal with the few sentinels that were sent out just now." Qiu Xiaobai was taken aback, and reacted immediately.

Judging from the length of the bamboo incense given by Yun Ruyan just now, it only lasted for about a quarter of an hour at most, and the fire spread from the east to the west, and then spread back from the west, in fact, this quarter of an hour had already passed, but because everyone's heartstrings were attracted by the strange phenomenon in front of them, they would naturally forget the passage of time.

Moreover, Yun Ruyan also specially instructed these sentries to come back before the incense was burned, and none of them could come back on time at this time, so they were afraid that they would be in a catastrophe at the moment.

"Ah, what should we do, we can't sit here and wait for death, the current situation in the camp is unknown, and the brothers who went to the sentry were murdered, it's really worrying, otherwise I took someone to the sentry tower to check on it, it was actually my harm, I shouldn't have let the brothers die, all this is my Wang Defa's fault, I want to go and meet the despicable people hiding in the dark corners for a while, even if it is not good, I will find the bodies of my brothers." Wang Defa also reacted at this time, he anxiously stepped in place, every time he thought about saying a word, his emotions became more and more out of control, and in the end, the whole person was crying silently, and his words were full of guilt and self-blame.

"No, these brothers have already been sacrificed, if you go to death again, we will be all finished, what should Silin do" Yun Ruyan, who had recovered from the pain, shook his head suddenly, stretched out his arm to pull him, and cried in a low voice.

"Don't rush to blame yourself and cry, it should be too late to go now, maybe you can get some answers just by finding their bodies." Qing Liu'er looked very calm, she finished speaking softly, and her right hand had already drawn her saber and stood behind her, putting on a posture of entering battle.

Qiu Xiaobai only saw the long sword in her hand clearly at this time, she only thought she was embroidered with fists before, but she didn't expect that there were really two times, and the royal temperament she exuded at this time was not comparable to ordinary people.

Yun Ruyan's back is delicate, the hilt of the sword in her hand is red like scorching iron in the firelight, and the light on the sword body is as elegant and pure as the cold moon.
