Chapter 37: The War Begins (Asking for Red Tickets and Collections)

"Let's go, leave the mountain road, go to the nearby woods, find a clearing to camp and settle down, we still have a lot to do!" Xu Mo calmed down for a moment and instructed Lu Yong and the others.

"No!" Lu Yong and the three of them responded respectfully, and they all hugged their fists and dispersed.

Soon, a group of people, led by hunters who were familiar with the terrain, found a small valley on the side near Jiangcheng at the southern foot of Luliang Mountain Road. There are two exits in the valley, one large and one small, shaped like a small gourd with two openings.

There are many rocks in the valley, but after leveling, the large stones can be used for tables and chairs, and the small stones can also be mixed with muddy water to fill the fence between the two ends, making two simple wooden walls to block the harassment of wild beasts.

The valley is flanked by sloping mountain walls, which are about 30 meters high and have a slope of 60 degrees. Xu Mo asked that at any time, there should be people on the top of the mountains on both sides of the valley to act as lookouts at all times, and the focus of observation was the plain in front of Jiangcheng and the Luliang Mountain crossing on this side.

Xu Mo's team, including himself, currently has 59 adult men, 25 young women, 14 children, and 4 babies, a total of 102 people, with men logging and women weaving straw mats. Before nightfall, two rough fence walls were finally built in the openings on both sides of the valley, and six huts.

Although it is only enough for women and children to rest temporarily, both the villagers and the bandits are very satisfied. The two fence walls, which can only bring psychological comfort, relieved the tense minds that everyone had been tense for several days. After a day's hard work, everyone found a place to sleep in their clothes after a simple meal.

Early the next morning, Xu Mo, who was asleep, was awakened by a commotion, and immediately stood up vigilantly from the big bluestone lying down and looked around. After a brief inquiry, he learned that it was the lookout on the top of the mountain on the right who had discovered something, Xu Mo's heart tightened, and he immediately accelerated his footwork towards the top of the mountain.

When he reached the top of the mountain, Xu Mo found that Lu Yong and the three of them were already here, and his face sank, and he asked, "What's the noise, why don't you wake up so-and-so!" ”

Lu Chen, one of the three, hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "It's a certain one who asked them not to disturb the leader, the leader was tired from fighting hard yesterday and was about to rest more." What's more, it's not that there's something in the valley, but that the Yang army has already driven to the Jiangcheng Plain! ”

"Oh!" Xu Mo was startled, from the night before yesterday to yesterday, his body and mind had been in a high state of operation, and he almost forgot that today was the eleventh day he had entered this mirror world, and the war between Yang and Jiang had begun!

Xu Mo hurriedly took a few steps forward, walked to the edge of the mountain, and looked up at the Jiangcheng Plain in the distance.

Jiang Cheng faced the direction of Qiu Chi's official road, and the smoke and dust were filled. Through the warm sunlight of the early morning, faintly visible in the smoke and dust, there is a long dragon of people spreading for more than ten miles is fighting snakes, and there are already extremely fast black dots in front of the long dragon and left and right, which should be the scout cavalry of the army in charge of guarding.

At this time, there was also a deep and heavy horn sound in Jiangcheng, with the sound of the horn, the city gate of Jiangcheng opened, and many black spots gushed out from the city gate, lined up under the city wall, and gradually formed a phalanx supporting the city wall.

Seeing this, Xu Mo retracted his gaze, his eyes flickered, and he said to Lu Yong and the others:

"What is the situation in the valley now, and how much grain do we have?"

Lu Chen took a step forward and replied: "The brothers in the village originally brought out enough meat and grain for half a month, but after the consumption of these few days, there are still about 10 days of grain left!" ”

Lu Yong also stepped forward and replied a little embarrassedly: "There is not much food brought out by Lu Village, and there are still three days of rations left. ”

"Enough! You remember that now there is no Chiji Village, and there is no Lu Village, and we are all brothers and sisters, all as one, and there is no need to separate each other. Keeping all the food rations in one place will be enough for 100 people for a week, so you don't have to worry about food for a while. Xu Mo said slowly.

"No!" Lu Yong and the three of them should arrive with fists.

"Lu Yong and Fang Mao went down the mountain with a certain person and watched the battle near the battlefield. Lu Chen stayed in the valley and continued to command everyone to build thatched huts, repair wooden walls, and keep people on guard at all times on the top of the mountains on both sides of the valley! Xu Mo instructed the three of them.

"No!" The three of them said yes and turned to go down the mountain.

Xu Mo took Lu Yong and Fang Mao down the top of the mountain, went out of the valley, and went straight to the battlefield through the Luliang Mountain Road. The valley where they camped was not far from the exit of the mountain road, and in a few moments, they had already arrived at the mountain pass of yesterday.

When approaching the mountain pass, Lu Yong suddenly frowned, stopped, and shouted at a bush on the left side of the mountain road: "What person? ”

Xu Mo's eyes were cold, although his perception was higher than Lu Yong's, he didn't feel the danger. However, Xu Mo couldn't feel the danger, which didn't mean that Lu Yong couldn't feel the abnormality. As a top hunter, Lu Yong, in the mountains and forests, even if he hid a well-hidden beast, he couldn't escape his sense.

Xu Mo pulled out the Blood Demon Sword, glanced at Fang Mao, and the two of them scattered left and right, heading towards the bushes surrounding the place.

"Nie Li, the leader, is a concubine!" A man slowly stood up in the bushes.

Xu Mo saw this person clearly, and a trace of comfort flashed in his heart, Dinah still survived tenaciously, and said in harmony: "It turned out to be Wenwen, you and the others went first, and a certain and Wenwen came later." ”

Dinah is a little embarrassed now, her hair is messy, her clothes are disheveled, her face is not very good, one shoulder is wrapped in a silk silk, and blood is still oozing, looking at Xu Mo and smiling reluctantly.

Xu Mo looked at her carefully and said with relief: "It seems that your luck is not bad, how is the situation in Lu Village?" ”

"I didn't make it to Lu Village, and when I returned to Lu Village, the entire Lu Village had been broken by wolves. There are wild wolves in front of the village and behind the village, and I was soon discovered, if it weren't for the fact that most of the wolves in the pack only cared about eating, didn't chase after them, and you gave me some recovery food, I wouldn't have been able to escape at all! Dinah shook her head and said wearily.

After Xu Mo heard this, he was silent for a while, and he wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to comfort Dinah.

"I didn't get into Lu Village, and I didn't see Qin Long, but I saw Fei Luo and a few others on the hillside outside the village!" When Dinah said this, she paused and said gloomily, "Brother K, you're right!" This temporary team of ours looks like a god, everyone is selfish, and it is impossible to live and die together at all! ”

"Philo is dead, but not at the hands of the wolves!" Dinah laughed miserably, with a hint of exhaustion sadness in her words.

Xu Mo closed his eyes and was silent, he was not surprised at all by this kind of ending. Maybe Qin Long is indeed what Dinah said, a person with a strong sense of teamwork and selflessness, but the others are not, they can't form a stable and united team at all.

When there is no team, Qin Long or Fei Luo can still survive for a while with their excellent natural abilities, but once they want to help others and organize a team to advance and retreat together, they basically dig their own graves.

It's not that there is a problem with Qin Long's idea, but that the timing is wrong. In the current space, the conditions for forming a stable team simply do not exist.

First of all, the first person to enter the space like Xu Mo had only experienced the second formal mission world, and there was no fundamental gap between him and other reincarnators in terms of strength. In this way, it will not be possible to form an unrivalled prestige in the team, and once it encounters a life-and-death situation, the whole team is in danger of falling apart.

The second is the choice of the members of the team, who have experienced too little of the world, and do not communicate much with other reincarnators, so that they will not understand the abilities and personalities of the members of the team.

There is no stable leader in a team, and the team members do not understand each other, some people are willing to sacrifice for the team, and some people are selfish, how much vitality can such a temporary team have. Forming such a team, let alone Qin Long, even if Xu Mo is the captain, it is all an epiphany before dawn, and he can't see the rising sun.

After a while, Xu Mo opened his eyes, and no longer asked how the people of Philo died, but said to Dinah lightly:

"What's next for you?"

"I don't know, I don't know." Dinah couldn't control her emotions anymore and sobbed with her hands over her face.

Xu Mo took a few steps forward, pressed Dinah's head to his shoulder, and stood silently holding the woman who was about to collapse.

"Thank you, Big Brother K, I'm fine!" Dinah cried for a while, let go of Xu Mo, wiped her tears with her hands, and her hands full of black soil suddenly turned her into a big cat.

Xu Mo smiled, took out a handkerchief and handed it over, and said softly: "Let's go, we still have something to do!" ”

Dinah nodded, silently following behind Xu Mo, the two walked in the direction of Fang Mao and Lu Yong, towards the exit of the mountain road, the morning sun pulled the backs of the two into a long strip, and slowly merged together.

(There will also be a red ticket at night)
