In the evening, the vultures creaked down and stood in groups beside the corpses, eager to try, as if they were waiting for dinner to be served.

Suddenly, a vulture turned its head to look into the distance, and its eager body suddenly became vigilant.

At this moment, all the vultures seemed to realize something, and like it, they stared into the distance in a daze, and quacked uneasily.

Fear spread like a contagious disease, and in an instant it spread throughout the flock, and I don't know which vulture was the first to jump in terror, and in the blink of an eye all the vultures flapped their wings in horror and flew into the sky, as if they had met a natural enemy.

In the quiet of the night, a black cat came over gracefully, and slowly came to the corpse, sat down quietly, and licked its little paws slowly.

"Hiss......"

Helen, whose face was gray and already dead, suddenly took a long breath as if she was drowning and slowly opened her eyes.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock ......"

Her heart, which had stopped for a long time, began to beat again, and at this moment her face was like a dead tree in spring, and the gray color quickly receded, and she became sickly and pale again.

"Ah, I'm dead again......"

Helen muttered to herself as she slowly sat up, still with great difficulty, but much better than before she died.

"Meow ......"

The black cat crouched beside Helen and barked softly, then looked at her with concern on his face, as if to say, "Are you alright?" ”

Helen shook her head and smiled faintly: "It's okay, but time is running out, you have to get the life potion quickly, alas...... The next step is to rely on potions to sustain life. ”

"Meow ......"

The black cat scratched its head and barked again.

"No way, I'm not evading responsibility, it's just that I've done my best, and the rest is not something I can manage, and now I have to live for myself, otherwise I won't see the result."

Helen stood up tremblingly with a twig, glanced at the departed army, and shook her head helplessly, as if to say to the black cat, and as if to herself.

The black cat pouted, stood up, twisted her little ass and walked forward, ignoring Helen.

"Hey, you guy wait for me, you don't feel sorry for the owner, what kind of pet are you?"

Helen greeted her, and when she saw that the black cat didn't pay any attention to her, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

As soon as she looked up, Helen suddenly saw a black shadow appear on the sand dune, and her face suddenly changed, and a piece of metal immediately slipped out of her cuffs, which she held in the palm of her hand.

"Hey, I guess you need this right now!"

At this moment, the figure took two steps closer, and it was Muddy Heart who was holding a bottle of medicine with a smile on his face.

"Are you always so timely?"

Helen laughed when she saw him.

More than ten miles away, Tianqiwei found a suitable place to camp, and the teenagers who had not seen each other for a long time in the big tent in the army finally gathered together.

"That's the way it is, the situation was urgent at that time, and when I got the position of the Apocalypse Guard, you had already gone to the Great Contention, I calculated the distance, and only by setting off immediately and running this trip in person could I contact the Apocalypse Guard as soon as possible.

So I didn't have time to say hello to you, and I just left, but I didn't expect that the person who covered the princess's departure would be exposed in advance, and it almost caused a big disaster. ”

Li Kuang sat opposite Xu Rui and said with palpitations.

Xu Rui smiled and waved his hand and said: "It's also a shame for you to make a quick decision, if it is not our army that comes in the end, but the people and horses of Longtu, I can only make a decision, so you can still save me." ”

"yes......"

Zhang Zuofeng said: "The army is on an expedition, I haven't seen the commander for more than half a month, this kind of major event has never been seen before, and I am afraid that I will not see anyone in the future, when Qin Fei passed your general order to the Chinese army, it really scared me, and I had no choice but to bite the bullet."

During these days, thanks to the concerted efforts of my brothers, nothing major happened to the army, but I am also walking on thin ice, trembling, if you don't come back, I'm afraid I'm going to collapse. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Rui's face became serious, and he saluted solemnly to Zhang Zuofeng and said: "I want to thank you for this matter, you commanded properly when the sandstorm came, and the more than 10,000 army only suffered more than ten casualties, which is really much better than I imagined."

After that, the princess and I were trapped in the Gobi, and it was you who judged the situation, overrode public opinion, and led the army into the desert to join me in advance, which saved a catastrophe.

This matter is all the fault of the commander, Zuo Feng, you turned the tide, both the army and the commander, it is really a great contribution, please accept my worship! ”

Zhang Zuofeng was shocked when he heard this, as if he was sitting on the stove, he bounced up from the chair with a "poof", hugged his fists and said: "Don't be like this, the sandstorm is a natural disaster, not the responsibility of the handsome, not to mention that if the handsome man does not practice it, how can there be Zhang Zuofeng today?" The marshal said this, but it was a torment! ”

"I said, you Yu Gong is a general, and Yu Zi is a brother, why bother twisting and pinching like this, I can see that my goosebumps have fallen to the ground!"

Seeing the two saluting each other with serious faces, Li Kuang laughed and came out to play the round, and everyone laughed with him when they heard this, and the slightest hint of seriousness was suddenly swept away.

Seeing that there was no more mustard in everyone's hearts, Xu Rui's face also relaxed, and he changed his words and asked: "This time the horse bandits in New Territories City are making waves behind Longtu, but the strange thing is that his striker has appeared, but the main force has disappeared for a long time, what do you think about this?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly became serious.

Cao Siyuan said: "Commander Qiqi, this time the last general of the New Territories City is to lead the people of the headquarters as the vanguard, set off half an hour earlier than the main force of the army, and took a shortcut in order to hurry up on the way, and it was on this shortcut that a strange thing was discovered. ”

"Oh?"

Xu Rui frowned and said, "What's the strange thing, let's hear about it?" ”

Cao Siyuan said in a deep voice: "At that time, the last general was leading a large army to rush to the night road, and found that the local landform was very different from the map forty miles away from the New Territories City.

According to the map, the area should be a flat sand dune, but when we passed, we found that there was an additional canyon, and at least thousands of corpses of border soldiers were found in the canyon.

The weirdest thing is that the corpse has no scars and dies a strange death! ”

"Oh?!"

Everyone frowned when they heard this, and Xu Rui immediately thought of the corpses found in the ruined temple with Helen, and said in his heart that such a bizarre thing must be related to the ruins in Helen's mouth and the caretakers who could use the ruins.

Perhaps not only these corpses, but also the natural disasters and abnormal climate that often occur in the Gobi of the 800-mile Hanhai Sea are also inseparable from those things.

Judging from Yaksha's words, the main force of Long Tu must have rushed to the New Territories City with all his might, as for why it didn't arrive, I'm afraid it was related to the canyon that Cao Siyuan saw, and the corpse without scars.

So many corpses of the border army prove that most of Long Tu's main force is folded, but I don't know if Long Tu himself is dead.

Thinking of this, Xu Rui gradually came back to his senses, and when he saw that everyone was discussing this matter, they hurriedly waved their hands and said: "This matter is strange, there is no need to discuss it again, and you should not discuss it privately after you go back, so as not to disturb the morale of the army by rumors and rumors in the army." ”

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed in unison.

The myths of gods and ghosts have always been the most nonsense, but they are the most lethal, and it is easy to give birth to rumors and shake the hearts of the army, everyone understands the consequences of this matter, Xu Rui gave an order, and everyone immediately stopped discussing it.

After what should be said, everyone is happy.

After the previous rush, both Xu Rui and Tianqiwei were quite tired, Xu Rui returned to the camp to rectify a little, rearranged the follow-up itinerary of the army and dispersed the big tent, sent everyone back to the camp to rest, and prepared to continue to rush towards Tianqi Pass the next day.

After everyone dispersed, Xu Rui washed up under the service of his personal guards, and was about to go to bed for a good night's sleep, but suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a strange qi flashing in the big tent.

His face changed, and he suddenly turned around, only to see that the two guards who were still standing straight had fallen to the ground.

Xu Rui frowned, gently held the broken edge, and said coldly: "Since you are here, why don't you show up?" ”
