Chapter 304: Waiting

"So, even though we came in a day earlier, it's possible to arrive later than the others?"

Hua Zhuo nodded: "Yes." But we have to ensure safety first, and then we can talk about speed. ”

Everyone nodded, regardless of their lives for the sake of speed, and it was unknown whether they could reach the bluestone hall in the end.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a long road, everyone must endure loneliness!" The cold voice of the flower burned sounded, and everyone's hearts were slightly lifted.

"Good!" The group no longer thinks about those hopes and futures, and has already come in anyway. They have only one purpose, to make it to the bluestone hall alive, find what they want, and then go back alive.

Their minds have settled, but many of the minds of others who have just been moving forward for half a day have begun to waver.

Not only the team of King Qirong, but also Lu Tu and Batuli's men, as well as King Shuyan's men, all began to chant in the queue.

"How long will it take? It's always such a gray weather, I'm afraid I can't get out. ”

"It's over, it's over, we're going to die here."

"Isn't this hell......

A few leaders listened to the chatter in the queue, and their hearts began to become irritable: "Shut up Lao Tzu, whoever talks more will send him to hell first." ”

But their warnings did not work, but only made them even more uneasy.

"Ahh Some people began to flee, but before they could run a few steps, they fell into the mire and were swallowed up.

Others began to sit on the ground and weep and stop walking.

The journey had just begun, and an oppressive and heavy atmosphere began to permeate the ranks.

King Quyan was the first to find out that something was wrong, he was a general who had experienced a hundred battles on the battlefield, and when he saw this performance of his subordinates, he knew that they were afraid that they were driven by the fear in their hearts.

"Come on, beat the drums!" As soon as King Quyan gave the order, his drummers began to beat the war drums rhythmically, which lifted the spirits of the people in the team.

The people of Yiqu were okay, because there were only 1,000 people, Batuli let everyone stick to each other, and then sang the war song of the grassland together, which also dispelled a lot of gloom in their hearts.

At this time, the king of Qirong also ordered the herbs to be burned, and the smell of herbs with a refreshing effect permeated his ranks, helping them resist the erosion of the mist.

At this time, Sun Chu, the prince of Qishan, who had already broken away from the large team, led people, but he walked through the miasma and swamp without hurry. If you look closely, you can see that they have a lot of medicine bags hanging on their bodies, which not only dispel the insect fog, but also refresh their minds.

Just as everyone was heading towards the depths of the Nine Shadows, a six-person ghost-faced team was riding their horses through Jiazhou quickly, and then entered the land of Yanxi.

It's just that when they galloped across the two hundred miles of grassland and were about to enter the city at night, they stopped because of the secret signal outside the city wall.

"Nine Shades?" Under the red ghost's face, a hoarse and unreal voice sounded, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Check!"

"Yes!" A black face turned away and became one with the night. He returned to the team before dawn and brought specific news.

"It's in, three days!"

The red face was silent for a few breaths, and then gave an order: "Fly the pigeon back to Beijing!" ”

"Yes!"

In the night, the pigeons flew up and came to the capital with news.

By the time the pigeons had taken off, the people sent by Hua Zhuo to the capital had been waiting for four days in the mountains of the Great Witch Retreat. He also called for four days, according to the agreed signal. But when he looked at the mountains of jungles, trees, and the birdsong that was almost like him, his heart sank a little.

The Great Witch ...... I'm afraid it's already in retreat.

At that time, when Hua Zhuo confessed, he actually knew that he might not be able to notify him smoothly. Because what the Great Witch told him was that he would retreat in the capital for a year.

There is Hua Zhuo in advance, and the messenger has no choice but to find a cave to settle down, and come out to call several times a day, hoping to wait for the response of the great witch.

The poor man didn't know that he had almost become half a savage when he settled down.

When Qianmo and the others did not put their hopes on Leng Yuhan, but decided to enter the Nine Shadows Swamp in advance, whether the letter could be delivered to the capital or not, and what the response from the capital was, they didn't care anymore.

"Take a break." Hua Zhuo saw that everyone's faces were already showing fatigue, and ordered to stop by a large rock.

"At the pace we're traveling, if it goes well, we'll be able to get out of this swamp today." It's been three days, and although Hua Zhuo didn't say anything, everyone understands that they are afraid that they have walked a relatively long loop, rather than directly through the swamp.

But I'm finally about to get out. They already felt that the miasma above their heads seemed to have faded a lot. There is an illusion that if you step out again, it will be fresh air. In fact, the distance they saw with the naked eye was still gray.

Josie and Ji Fei began to take things out, ready to eat some dry food on the way first. was suddenly held by Qianmo's wrist.

"Don't move!"

Everyone suddenly became alarmed, "What's wrong?" ”

Everyone immediately stood up from the spot, the weapons in their hands barely relaxed, and they looked around with a tense expression.

"Shh Qian Mo made a silent movement, concentrating on perceiving the crisis that had just flashed.

Yoon-yi and Josie also began to quietly run their internal energy to probe around.

Half a pillar of incense had passed, and the surroundings were still quiet and terrifying, and there seemed to be no sound except for their breathing.

Several people cast puzzled glances at Qianmo, his face was still nervous, but looking at his slightly frowning brows, he didn't seem to notice it.

Qian Mo stretched out his hand to signal everyone not to move, and after glancing at Josie, the two slowly moved towards the periphery of the crowd. In their hands, they were holding bags of jerky.

One, two——

Qian Mo raised his hand, and at the moment when his fingers stretched out, Josie's wrist moved, and a piece of jerky flew out of the bag and flew in the opposite direction of them.

"Whoa—"

Suddenly, something jumped up from the ground in front of it, and it flew through the air at great speed, and then the piece of meat was dragged from mid-air to the ground.

Before they could see what it was, the piece of meat had sunk into the ground in front of them and disappeared, not even a trace of smell remained.

"Shhh

It's just that they looked at each other, but no one could see what the one who was snatching the meat so quickly was.

Qian Mo turned his head to look at Hua Zhuo, he didn't dare to use the knife just now, because he didn't know what the other party was, and he was afraid that it would bring a crisis if he did it rashly.

Hua Zhuo understood what he meant, and he groaned slightly. If they don't know what that thing is, it's a crisis. You can't just stay here and not leave, and you can't go without eating.

"Alert!" Hua Zhuo waved a gesture, and Yun Yi and the others pinched the medicine powder and wire mesh in their hands without a trace.

Seeing this, Qianmo and Josie nodded, come again!
