Chapter 491: The Two Missing Persons
"What's wrong?" Seeing a hint of hesitation flashing across Sam's face, Tias immediately wondered, "Do you have any doubts?"
"Yes!" Sam nodded to the canyon north of Qingfeng Town and said, "The Federation is hot and humid all year round, and there is no winter freezing phenomenon in northern countries. In this Qingfeng Valley, there is a miasma in all seasons, and even if there are anti-blocking measures, they dare not go deeper. ”
Then, with a slight sigh, he added, "Green wind, green wind, the air flow blows the cyan miasma in the valley, and the name of the green wind valley comes from this. ”
As soon as these words came out, all three of Tias frowned. Miasma makes almost no difference in toxicity to humans or animals.
Maybe because they have a special physique, they can resist for a while longer than humans. But without the participation of the large army, it seems to be back to the situation when you were in Silver Spring.
Tias didn't make a decision for a long time, whether to use her killer weapon or not!
After all, from the previous battle with the salt ghost, she knew that the other party was a very bold guy and also had a very strong sense of the overall situation. And the excellent strategic terrain of Qingfeng Valley, it is impossible for the other party not to consider it.
While thinking about the trade-off, Sam couldn't help but sigh and continued: "After His Highness knew about this situation, he supported me with a regular army corps of 3,000 people, if the enemy really entered Qingfeng Valley, even if the eight of us can withstand the miasma, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete the task." ”
At this time, Kildan's cough attracted Tias's attention, and he seemed to pout inadvertently. Seeing this, Tias immediately looked at Sam after a moment's silence: "Don't worry too much, your lordship, there are not only eight of us. ”
"Oh?" Sam raised his eyebrows, and then asked with a happy face, "Could it be that you have reinforcements under your hands?"
Five minutes later, on the small training ground outside the door, Sam looked at the twenty gray-robed apostles at the bottom of the steps, and his face showed irrepressible surprise.
Seeing this, Tias immediately smiled and said, "My lord, we have all the weapons we have, and we basically don't need any supplies. Excuse me, when are we leaving?"
"Now!" Sam was awakened with a confident smile on his face, "Let's go!"
About two kilometers to the northwest corner of Qingfeng Town, it is the only entrance and exit of Qingfeng Valley. Except for this short period of less than 100 meters, the others are all hundreds of meters of high mountain peaks.
At this time, in the drizzly Qingfeng Valley, the cyan miasma, which was so thick that it was not visible for ten meters, had gradually diffused out of the valley mouth.
The ground is almost invisible to sunlight all year round, and there is hardly any grass and green trees. Mushrooms occupy a large area, creating a life-and-death contrast with the green trees and safflowers outside the valley.
In the distance to the southeast, I saw a four-wheeled ox cart coming leisurely. When he came to a distance of about 100 meters from the valley mouth, the old cow instinctively stopped in place because he smelled the pungent miasma.
At this time, I saw that the ox cart driving in front of me was Ma Shuo, who turned the Hongchuan area upside down.
Seeing that the old cow refused to go any further, Ma Shuo immediately sighed and turned around and entered the carriage, carrying a mercenary on each shoulder, and an adult man who did not know his life and death jumped out of the ox cart.
When he turned to walk west along the outside of the valley, he looked back at the old cow grazing in place.
I couldn't help sighing and put down the two men, came to the ox cart and gently stroked the cow's head: "Let's go, let's go, the miasma will be even stronger in a while, and if you don't leave, you will die!"
"Moo!" the old cow looked at Ma Shuo and snorted softly, his mouth was still chewing on the blades of grass, and he turned around and left slowly.
Ma Shuo watched the ox cart disappear into sight, then turned around and picked up the two big men again and walked along the foot of the mountain to the west.
At night, when the moon is shining in the sky, at the source of an unknown stream at the foot of the mountain, Ma Shuo lights a bonfire and roasts the whole sheep. Under the thigh-thick trunks beside him, the two male mercenaries were tied.
At this time, the two were still in a coma, but the smell of mutton gradually spread. One of them's drooping head moved slightly.
Ma Shuo didn't look back when he heard the movement, grabbed some salt from the cowhide bag next to the fire, and sprinkled it evenly on the "squeaky" roasted whole sheep.
"Wake up, wake up, what to pretend?" Seeing that the person behind him still wanted to pretend to be unconscious, Ma Shuo immediately pursed his lips and exposed the lie. He glanced back at the man and continued, "Don't you know my old friend?!"
"Ahh Looking at Ma Shuo beside the bonfire, he kept begging for mercy: "My lord, my lord spare my life! I, I won't dare to do it again!"
At this time, seeing his companion who was still unconscious, the man immediately struggled and said: "It's him! It was he who instigated it, and everything was instigated by him! I, I really don't want to go against the adults, woo woo." ”
"Alas!" Ma Shuo, who had his back to the two, put the roasted mutton on a few large pebbles on the side, got up and took out his broken teeth and walked to the man: "Little Jack is dead, why are you more annoyed than flies?"
When the man saw the dagger that was shining brightly, he immediately screamed and fainted. Seeing this, Ma Shuo immediately rolled his eyes, raised his foot and slapped it on the man's face: "Do you dare to pretend to be dead for me?"
"Woo woo!" The man who was trampled on the soles of Ma Shuo's feet immediately gave up his plan to continue pretending to be unconscious. This escape method that was tried and tested in the black market before is useless here in Ma Shuo.
Now he is really afraid, for fear that the other party will think that he is provoking. If Yidao really sent himself to death, then he could be regarded as "looking for death" by himself.
Suddenly, Ma Shuo asked about the smell of urine, frowned, and took two steps back. He pulled up his knife and asked in a low voice, "How many of you still have it?"
The man couldn't wipe his nose and tears, and at this time he had completely turned into a big face.
Hearing Ma Shuo's question, he immediately replied without hesitation: "My lord, after the head of the regiment died, we originally wanted to go to the guild to disband the mercenary group. But halfway through, we met a messenger of God, and she gave us 2,000 gold coins to continue our mission!"
"She, the messenger?" Ma Shuo frowned when he heard this, and the figure of the only female apostle he knew: Tias flashed in his head.
"Why?" then he wondered, "Why did the apostle give you so much money?"
"No, I don't know. The man immediately shook his head in panic: "My lord, I really don't know the reason." Please don't kill me, let me do anything. Woooooooo ”
Seeing that Ma Shuo was silent, the man thought that his death was coming. Immediately tried every means to beg for mercy: "Fen, none of the fifty gold coins allocated to me have been moved, except for the two on my body, which are all hidden by me in my home in Silver Spring Town." I. ”
"Body?" Ma Shuo was stunned for a moment: "You have gold coins on you?"
Ma Shuo instantly thought of the reason, and there was also a faint sound of "Karakala" carapace colliding in the southwest, and it was getting closer and closer!
