Chapter 33: The Hunt
Fang Dang followed the team all the way east, and the black-armored sword and halberd sergeants in the team all had iron plate faces, expressionless faces, and there were few words along the way, so that the various miscellaneous servants in the team did not dare to speak loudly one by one.
Fang Dang was quite curious about those black-armored sword and halberd sergeants, their skin was wrapped in heavy black armor, they could only be pondered from their faces, their skin was smooth, at least they had already passed the bitter skin stage, as for the level of cultivation, it was really impossible to see.
Fang Dang was the youngest in this team, but at this time he was dressed in black skin, and no one could figure out his age.
The sources of more than thirty accompanying miscellaneous servants are all various miscellaneous servants and guards in the palace, and they are only used here to work as coolies, and they will be reprimanded by the black-armored sword and halberd sergeant from time to time.
Walking side by side with Fang Dang was a young man in his early twenties, and he was also the same as Fang Dang, with a bitter skin, but his cultivation should not have reached the point where Fang Dang's skin was ready to molt.
This young man's name is He Cheng, he likes to talk very much, even if there is a black armor army watching, he can still chatter quietly, saying his wishes, saying that he wants to become a jazz dancer, and then enter the Fire Poison Divine Palace to become an immortal cultivator, so that he can make his wife and children live a good life, but unfortunately he met Fang Dang's stuffy gourd, often saying that he can't change a word from Fang Dang for a long time, and over time, he is also bored, turning his head to talk to others, but there are really not many people who pay attention to him, dreaming of this thing, only young people have, after the age of thirty, he was beaten to pieces by the waves of reality。
The team kept moving forward, but unfortunately, the direction they were advancing bypassed the Rotten Poison Beach, after all, the fire slaves on the Rotten Poison Beach were afraid of the black-armored sword and halberd sergeants, but the various beasts in the Rotten Poison Beach and the smoke and fire gas that came out of the ground did not recognize them.
Fang Dang looked at the yellow-brown stenching land from a distance, and his gaze could not be taken back for a long time.
Three days later, the team bypassed the Rotten Poison Shoal and entered a forest.
Fang Dang saw the forest for the first time, and the whole person was stunned, he had heard his mother talk about the forest, and said that there were countless trees there, but he never thought that the forest was like this, the canopy of the big trees covered the entire sky, even in broad daylight, it was still dark here. In the Rotten Flats, trees are a symbol of power, and only the head of a clan can live on them, and there are so many of them here.
The march through the decaying leaves was quite difficult.
Fang Dang was breathing in the damp aura of the forest to his heart's content, and suddenly felt that the two breaths full of murderous intent that had never left him began to become urgent and excited.
Fang Dang knew that these two guys were ready to start.
Fang Dang gently turned the strange poison inner pill on the tip of his tongue, and the sound of gurgling continued to echo on the tip of Fang Dang's tongue, and a smile appeared on the corner of Fang Dang's mouth.
The deeper into the forest, the darker the light became, and after continuing to move forward for an hour, it was already necessary to rely on torches to light the way, this was the most difficult part of the road from Fire Poison City to Kyoto, and from time to time there were various sounds of thin ropes in the jungle, or one or two dark shadows swaying behind the pitch-black tree trunks, and the speed of the procession began to become extremely slow, and after an hour of progress, according to the time, it should have been dark by now, and the team began to become tired, and at this time a clearing appeared in front of it, and the cold moonlight sprinkled down, and the clearing was like a layer of hoarfrost。
In this clearing, he can look up at the starry sky overhead, such a bright starry sky, Fang Dang has not seen it for a long time, there is a huge cloud engraved pill furnace in the Fire Poison City, the furnace is full of fire, taking away the color of the starry sky, the Fire Poison City has disappeared at this time, Fang Dang still sees the sky without the Fire Poison City for the first time.
The general whose face was covered by an iron helmet waved his hand, and the soldiers around skillfully escorted Fang Dang and the others into the clearing, and there was a cellar in the clearing, after the young man who had been chattering next to Fang Dang opened it, Fang Dang and the others took out a jar of fire oil and dry wood from the cellar.
There was a ditch around the clearing, and they turned over the ditch, laid out the sticks, poured in the oil, and the fire flickered, and a ring of flame enveloped all the people.
Apparently this is a temporary base that has been set up.
Flames are the best defense against wild beasts, and the surrounding trees are also cut down, so there is no fear of poisonous snakes burrowing from the top of their heads.
But the general was obviously not at ease, most of the soldiers began to sleep, a dozen soldiers were constantly patrolling, and Fang Dang and these people began to cook and boil water by the flames in the trench, and they were busy.
Fang Dang was in charge of boiling water, there was a special sergeant watching from the side, diet was the top priority, in case someone poisoned, the whole army would be wiped out.
Fang Dang took the opportunity to go to the toilet and threw the last handful of rat medicine into his mouth to chew it, I have to say that the taste of this thing is really bad, but it is always much stronger than the sour, spicy, bitter and salty residue.
The Strange Poison Inner Pill has been hungry for a long time, although there is a supply of rat poison in the past two days, but the Strange Poison Inner Pill is still not full, and at this time, it is like a sponge, and the toxicity in the rat poison is completely absorbed in an instant.
Fang Dang's two fingertips rubbed slightly, and a fishy smell began to rise inside, but the strange poison in Fang Dang's mouth let out a gurgling hunger cry again.
When the meal was ready, Fang Dang and the others ate first, and after eating, there was no problem, and the soldiers began to eat.
When the soldiers finished eating, they cleaned up the pots and pans, and there was nothing to do, and they were so tired after a busy day that they basically fell to the ground and fell asleep.
There was a sound of snoring all around, but at this time, Fang Dang suddenly couldn't feel the murderous hostility, and it was as calm as the surface of the windless water, but Fang Dang knew that this was a precursor to their readiness and ready to do it at any time.
After Fang Dang had been asleep for an hour, he felt that something was slowly approaching him, his steps were very light, and the strange poisonous inner pill under the root of Fang Dang's tongue was trembling rapidly, like an alarm constantly knocking on Fang Dang's teeth.
In the distance, the soldier who had been sleeping all along, and the soldier with the hilt of his sword suddenly opened his eyes, swept over the place with a cold gaze, and then took it away and continued to sleep.
Obviously, these two people are here to kill Fang Dang, and they have tacit permission.
Fang Dang lay there motionless, what Fang Dang was most afraid of at this time was not these two people who wanted to kill him, but whether the general would do it himself after these two people couldn't kill him Fang Dang.
The footsteps of the two people were very light, light like the sound of the wind blowing the grass and trees, but the footsteps became heavier and heavier, so that the footsteps began to be chaotic, and when the two of them were about to approach Fang Dang, the two of them fell to the ground with a puff.
The two of them foamed at the mouth, their nostrils spurted blood, and they shook together like chaff, and the grass rolled against the sound of a rope, and after a moment it was silent.
Fang Dang was asleep from beginning to end, not moving, until the two Yuye not far away were motionless, Fang Dang still didn't move.
The Rotten Poison Beach taught Fang Dang a truth, that is, he must not wait for the beast to attack, he must preemptively kill the beast before the beast shows its fangs and claws.
The originally sleeping general suddenly opened his eyes this time, quite surprised, nailed to Fang Dang's body like a nail, obviously did not expect the situation to become like this.
Although Fang Dang was still sleeping deeply on the surface at this time, the hairs on his body exploded, because he didn't know what kind of attitude that army would have, if the other party came to kill him personally, as long as he opened his mouth to give an order, he Fang Dang would turn into meat in the blink of an eye.
The general exhaled a cold breath and stood up with his sword, all the muscles in Fang Dang's body were tense, ready to flee at any time.
But then the general sat down slowly.
He is a smart man, and he is a smart soldier, he is only loyal to King Hongzheng, and he can do his own thing diligently, and he had better not get involved in the dirty dispute between the prince and the princess, he can turn a blind eye and acquiesce to the second prince's people to kill Fang Dang quietly, but he must not step into this forbidden place with one foot.
As the general sat down again, the serpent-like gaze projected on Fang Dang's body was taken away, his breathing became deep and long, and the tense muscles on Fang Dang's body slowly relaxed.
This difficulty was over, Fang Dang let out a long breath, only to realize that he was already soaked all over his body, and Fang Dang began to ponder leaving the team as soon as it was dawn.
Burst.
A black-armored sword sergeant on night duty had a bloody hole in his neck, and the blood was rushing wildly, and at the same time, an arrow drilled out of the cheek of another black-armored sword sergeant not far away.
A scream suddenly rang out in the firelight, tearing through the silent jungle in one fell swoop.
The sleeping general with his hand on the hilt of his sword stood up, but a black shadow appeared behind the general, and two light blue sword lights flashed like thunder on the general's neck.
The general's head was spurted up by neck blood and fell into the grass more than ten meters away.
The general didn't fall, still the long knife out of the sheath, a dragon roared like an explosion, a knife cut out, when a bang, the two knives collided, the black shadow spurted blood and flew out upside down, crashed into the ground and disappeared like smoke and dust.
The general galloped wildly, picked up his head, and hurriedly placed it on his neck, Fang Dang's eyes widened, and he clearly saw that the big tendons on the neck of the army drilled out, like a snake dance, into the skull, as if he wanted to connect his head with his body, Fang Dang had heard that this was a means only for martial artists in the realm of strong muscles.
At this moment, a cold snort sounded from the darkness, a pair of hands stretched out from somewhere, directly into the general's chest, both hands as if tearing a piece of cloth, click, the direct general will be torn in half, blood sprayed, stomach splashed, the tenacious general died instantly.
Fang Dang thought he was a hunter, but he didn't know that there were people who had a bigger appetite and took all of them as prey. I1387
