Chapter 347
At that time, those soldiers gathered together in groups of three, and they didn't know what they were discussing, Chu Xiaoxi and Shangguan Yun felt that they were sneaky, as if they were hiding something from these people, so they cast an out-of-body spell and secretly entered them and listened to what they were discussing.
When they heard this, their faces turned pale with fright, for the soldiers did not intend to bring these men over to join the army, but to send them to a col in a ravine to feed the beasts.
They didn't understand why they were to feed these beasts, so they continued to listen, and after a patchwork of information, they realized that it was because the emperor wanted to help them go to the front line to fight by training beasts, and to train beasts, they had to use living people to train, so that they would know to bite living people when they arrived on the battlefield.
After learning this truth, Chu Xiaoxi and Shangguan Yun hated the imperial court and this sanctimonious emperor, he actually sacrificed these people in order to win the war, they all had families, wives and children, so let them sacrifice for no reason, and the death was unknown, it was too hateful!
After they had left them, they discussed how they could help them get out of danger. With the spells and mana of the two of them, it would be easy to escape on their own, but it would be not so easy to take so many people with them.
Chu Xiaoxi frowned and said: "Our stealth technique can only help us, not everyone, and it is also a very difficult thing to escape with them, and those officers and soldiers are very vigilant, looking at them all the time, how can we bring them back safely?" And they returned home like this, and it is inevitable that they will be conscripted and transferred next time, what will they do then? ”
Shangguan Yun pondered for a while, and said: "We have to find a fundamental solution to this matter, I think we can only kill all the fierce beasts in the mountain, so as to prevent these living people from being eaten, and some people in the future will also be captured and eaten." ”
Chu Xiaoxi said: "But we haven't seen those fierce beasts, and we don't know how many there are, and with the strength of the two of us, we don't know if we can kill them." ”
Shangguan Yun said: "You have to try it, otherwise you can only wait to die." ”
Chu Xiaoxi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go around at night while everyone is asleep to see where those beasts are." ”
Shangguan Yun nodded, and then they went back to eat, and after eating, the soldiers told everyone to rest in place first, and they would not leave tonight, and everyone was very happy to hear it, because they had been walking for several days in a row, and they were too tired, and then they each looked for their own place, and then they could lie down, and soon everyone fell asleep.
Those soldiers didn't sleep, they guarded there around everyone, not letting anyone take the opportunity to escape, Chu Xiaoxi and Shangguan Yun also slept among the people, but they didn't really fall asleep, they just pretended to close their eyes, and in the second half of the night, those guards were also sleepy, yawning one by one.
Chu Xiaoxi and Shangguan Yun used stealth techniques to sneak away. They searched everywhere in the valley to find a col suitable for the beasts to rest, but they couldn't find it for a long time, and finally they had no choice but to give up their decision, thinking that when the soldiers sent the people to the col to feed the beasts, they would go with them to investigate, and those people would be fine with them.
On the second day, the soldiers said that they were going to explore the road, but they didn't know how to go on the road ahead, and said that they would take a few strong men. Shangguan Yun deliberately asked them why they took Zhuang Ding there, but it was just to explore the way, and Zhuang Ding couldn't help much.
The officers and soldiers said that they would take them just in case, and that when they couldn't get through, they would cut down thorns and the like, and told him not to meddle in his affairs.
Shangguan Yun and Chu Xiaoxi glanced at each other, knowing that this was an excuse for them at all, they brought people there to feed the beasts, but they didn't stop it.
This time, those soldiers brought a total of more than a dozen people, and these people were the strongest here, Chu Xiaoxi and Shangguan Yun were not selected among them, because the two of them were not considered the strongest.
After everyone watched them leave, Chu Xiaoxi and Shangguan Yun were secretly following them, and the two of them used stealth techniques to even hide in the middle of the team without being discovered by them. All the way they listened to what the soldiers said, trying to know where their destination was, but the soldiers were afraid that others would hear their secrets, and they didn't say anything about the beast along the way.
They walked all the way for about half an hour, and finally came to a very hidden mountain col, which was a little dark, looked eerie, and exuded an inexplicable fishy smell.
The strong men who went with them were a little uneasy, because they intuitively felt that this place did not look safe, so they advised the soldiers to go another way, which seemed to be a dead end, but the soldiers did not listen to them, but only said that they would rest in place first, and then talk later.
Those strong men stopped to rest restlessly, and looked around, always feeling that there seemed to be some danger hidden here. Some of them went out to hunt all year round, smelled the breath of wild beasts, and said to the soldiers: "Master Jun, let's get out of here quickly, I feel that there should be large beasts here, I see that there are not even rabbits and birds in this place, if it were not for large beasts, it would definitely not be so lifeless, and the smell in the air is a little unpleasant, it looks like there is more than one beast." ”
But those soldiers looked very calm, just reassured them not to worry, they had been walking for half an hour, they were too tired, it was not too late to rest and then go, besides, they all had weapons in their hands, and the people were strong and strong, even if a wild beast came, they would not be restrained.
After all, those strong men did not have the right to speak without them, and after hearing them say this, they could only stay there in fear, but they did not dare to relax at any time.
Chu Xiaoxi and Shangguan Yun had long known the purpose of those soldiers, so they concluded that this place should be the destination, but this place didn't look like there were wild beasts, they couldn't see caves or anything like that, and they didn't know where those beasts were hiding, and they were very curious about what kind of beast this beast was.
However, Chu Xiaoxi is definitely not a herbivore, because herbivores don't need people to train and feed them at all.
