Chapter 39: The Basin
Fu Aotian sent Han Xu away, and his eyes were slightly raised.
"Han Xu, I came out this time to prove to my father, I'm not useless, if I go into the mountains this time and hunt a fourth-order demon beast, my father will treat me with my eyes. As for the three guides, except for the girl, the remaining two will not make it out of the mountains alive. ”
Fu Aotian said to himself, and laughed gloomily after speaking.
"But Han Xu's face is also to be given, so I won't embarrass them before I go out of the mountain. As for that girl, the fat sheep in her hand can still fly her. ”
Fu Aotian was in a good mood, humming an unknown tune, and went to sleep.
After a night without saying anything, Lin Fan took over Li Shiyou's night duty at midnight, and until dawn there was no one they expected, someone came to attack them.
caused Li Shiyou and Lin Fan to worry all night.
When the sky was slightly bright in the morning, Li Shiyou woke up, and he was relieved to see that nothing had happened.
It's best if nothing happens.
"Xiaofan, you go to sleep, it looks like you have to travel for a day today, it's not good that you are not in good spirits." Li Shiyou said.
Li Shiyou actually slept for four or five hours, but he still let Lin Fan rest.
It's just dawn now, and it will take an hour or two for these people to set off, and they can sleep.
Lin Fan was not modest, and sat down on his bed and lay down.
I don't know how long it took, Lin Fan was woken up by Qin Ya, opened his eyes and was confused for a while, and then Lin Fan remembered that he was there.
Immediately got up and asked, "What's the matter, it's time to go?" ”
Qin Ya replied with a smile: "No, but it's soon, the people outside have made breakfast, and they are about to leave after breakfast." ”
Lin Fan moved his body for a moment and got up.
When I went outside, I saw that the soldiers were already packing up their tents, and some people were boiling something on the campfire, and from time to time the smell of porridge wafted in.
After breakfast, and after a few more hours to pack up all the things, the group began to set off.
Lin Fan estimated that the current time was seven or eight o'clock in the morning.
Li Shiyou was called over by Fu Aotian and informed him of the location of the next camp.
Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Fortunately, Li Shiyou knows there, but it is more into the mountains.
The group walked in the mountains, which were no longer suitable for horseback riding, and could only lead the horses forward, and there were trees and shrubs everywhere, and there was no road to walk.
The soldiers in front of them could only cut a path with their knives to pass, and they walked very slowly.
And there were also demon beasts around, but fortunately, the people brought by Fu Aotian were all elite warriors who had experienced a hundred battles, and once they found a demon beast that was approaching, they would shoot immediately.
Drove away those approaching demon beasts and beasts, and until now, there have been cases of demon beasts attacking the team.
Lin Fan and Qin Ya followed behind Li Shiyou and walked forward slowly.
After climbing over a hill, Lin Fan asked with beads of sweat on his forehead, "Uncle Li, how long will it take to get to the camping location?" ”
Li Shiyou looked at the surrounding situation, thought for a while and said: "At the current speed, you can arrive at night, of course, this is if you don't encounter a demon beast." ”
By now, they had been walking for four or five hours, and Lin Fan was tired and hungry at this time.
looked at Qin Ya beside her, and she was also a little tired.
Lin Fan said: "Uncle Li, if you don't talk to these people, let's rest for a while and walk, I'm really a little unable to walk." ”
Li Shiyou looked not far away, saw that there was a small river there, pointed to the small river and said, "There is a river there, I'll go and tell those people to go down there and rest." ”
Li Shiyou walked to Fu Aotian's side and talked to him, Fu Aotian looked at the sky and nodded in agreement.
Li Shiyou led everyone to the small river.
It was a river bay, and because it had been extinct for a hundred years, the water of the small river was very clear, and the banks were full of reeds, and the reeds were about to bloom in this season, and they would grow more than one person tall.
The breeze blows, and the waves ripple. A great place to rest.
But it's also a place that is extremely easy to be attacked by monsters.
The group walked for half an hour and came to the river.
Fu Aotian's soldiers immediately dispersed, carefully inspected the reed field, and saw that there were no traces of wild beasts in it, so they let Fu Aotian rest immediately.
Lin Fan also sat down with Qin Ya and Li Shiyou to rest.
Lunch at noon is very simple, just two pieces of dry bread and a pot of water, and it will be done.
Lin Fan didn't feel anything, didn't he see that Fu Aotian was also eating a dry cake in his hand. Young city lords like Fu Aotian just eat dry food, so it's strange that Lin Fan has an opinion.
After eating the dry food and resting for a while, Fu Aotian gave the order to set off, and it seemed that he was in a hurry to get to his destination.
This time, the people who were walking along the river were able to mount their horses and move forward, but after walking for a while, they walked out of the river bend, and the road ahead was mountains and trees.
The road is difficult to walk again.
After walking for an hour, Li Shiyou, who led the way in front, signaled everyone to stop.
Han Xu stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter, is there any situation?" ”
Li Shiyou nodded and said, "There is an open land in front, and there are some footprints of wild beasts, I am afraid that there will be a group of demon beasts in front." ”
Han Xu looked at the terrain in front of him and saw that there was a basin in front of him, and the river was passing through this basin.
The banks of the river are lined with lush weeds and tall trees, and the ground is faintly visible for some wild beasts.
It seems that this is a place where some beasts or monsters drink water.
Han Xu didn't want to venture through this basin, but if he had made a detour through here, he would definitely not be able to reach the campsite as planned today.
Han Xu was also a little embarrassed.
He glanced back at Fu Aotian and saw that he was also looking here.
Han Xu thought for a moment and said, "Let's take a detour, it's very dangerous here, it's better to bypass the mountains on both sides than to know that it's much safer for demon beasts to break through here, and it's a waste of time to waste some time." ”
Li Shiyou also meant this, knowing that there was danger in this basin, it didn't make much difference if he still had to go here to find death.
Just when the two of them made a decision and made a detour, Fu Aotian from behind came over.
"What's the matter, why don't you leave."
Han Xu looked back and saw that it was Fu Aotian who had come over. He opened his mouth and said: "Xiaotian, there is a basin plain in front, and there is a high probability that there will be demon beasts in it, I think let's take a detour, it's better than being attacked by demon beasts." ”
When Fu Aotian heard this, his brows furrowed.
He looked at the plain in front of him, how could this plain be more than ten miles wide, if he had to walk more than half the distance to get around, he would not be able to reach the camp in time for dark.
But if you want to walk from here, there is a real chance that you will be attacked by demon beasts. This is already the hinterland of the mountains, surrounded by the territory of demon beasts, if you make a mistake and break into the lair of the demon beast group, those demon beasts will not die.
The people he brought were not consumed by these monsters.
But on second thought, they hadn't encountered any dangerous demon beasts along the way, and they wouldn't necessarily break into the lair of the demon beast group.
He gritted his teeth and said, "No, you can't take a detour." We're already on a tight schedule, and if we're going to take a detour, we'll be out of time. How dangerous it is to march at night, don't tell me what you also know, just go from here. ”
