Chapter 135: The Contest (2)
The night was so long, the cold heart tossed and turned, and it was impossible to sleep.
finally fell asleep, and the dream turned out to be a scene full of fire in the cold mansion. Thousands of arrows were killed in the cold body and fell in a pool of blood. Chilled, he woke up. Only to find that I was sweating profusely and my collar was wet.
After a moment of composure, I realized that it was dawn. got up and washed my face with cold water, the cold wind blew, and I was a lot more sober.
Ge Chen was already ready to go, and he looked particularly energetic today.
When Han Xin arrived at the training ground, he found that a column of bat troops had already been cleaned up and lined up, all of them were in good spirits and their morale was overwhelming.
And General Xia was dressed in armor, revealing coldness. The hard features were full of seriousness in the cold wind. In front of him, a neat line of men and horses was arranged. All of them held their heads high, and the cold light of the iron clothes shone.
The cold gaze fell on the armored army, and the dark swelling rolled in his eyes.
Everything was ready, and the two teams headed for the Misty Illusion.
When I arrived at the entrance, I saw that Dongfang Sheng and his party were already waiting here. General Xia Qi and Han Xin were just about to dismount, but they were stopped by Dongfang Sheng, "No need to dismount, I am waiting for you at the exit, whoever comes out first wins." ”
Hearing Dongfang Sheng's brief words, Xia Qi raised his eyes and looked at Han Xin, "This misty illusion realm is unpredictable, as soon as you step in, you will step into the Hades Hall with one foot, can Vice Marshal Han think about it?" ”
Hanxin was noncommittal, but said to Ge Chen: "It's good for you to stay here." ”
Ge Chennai is the only son of the governor of Yinchuan, and he has never suffered much since he was a child, and he is still a little uneasy, if there is a 10,000 or just in case, how can he explain to Lord Ge.
Ge Chen was still playful, but when he heard the cold words, he suddenly became a little angry, and put away his cynicism, "Young Master Ben hasn't seen anything, how can you be afraid of this little misty illusion, you also underestimate me." ”
Knowing that Ge Chen would not give up, Hanxin didn't say anything anymore.
Dongfang Sheng glanced at the cold heart deeply, and only said to everyone: "Be careful." ”
The two columns of centaurs immediately entered the illusion.
Since it was still morning, the whole forest was covered with mist. The trees are so dense that they completely obscure the sky.
In the deep jungle, crows flew by from time to time, and their calls were a little frightening.
The further you walked in, the thicker the fog became, and the two teams of people who had originally come in had unconsciously dispersed.
Han Xin looked at the direction in which the armored army disappeared, knowing that General Xia was only afraid that he had already planned the route and deliberately threw himself away.
Seeing that the fog was getting bigger and bigger, and the path in front of him was gradually disappearing, Hanxin hurriedly gathered the Batsoldiers together and asked everyone to stay close to each other in case they got lost and scattered. And take out a face towel and cover your mouth and nose. If the fog is too thick, a miasma will appear, just in case it will be good.
The whole jungle was eerily quiet, and everything was as quiet as death. Hanxin and Ge Chen walked in the forefront to open the way. Look around cautiously in case danger comes.
The ancient trees are towering to the sky, covering the sky and the sun. There was a "click" sound, and a soldier suddenly screamed, and when he looked sideways, he saw countless white bones lying at their feet. Although many soldiers were calm, they were also stunned by the scene in front of them.
Han Xin looked along the white bones, and saw that not far away, countless skulls were piled up into a small mountain bag. One side of the face is facing the direction of the path. It seems to welcome people into this place.
"Are you afraid?" Hanxin said loudly: "If you regret it, it's still too late, otherwise once this Skull Mountain passes, there will be no room for repentance." ”
Ge Chen tightened the long sword in his hand, "How can Young Master Ben be afraid of this white bone. ”
The bat army in the back saw the cold and calm appearance, and the slight tremor in his heart also subsided. The eyes were as firm as ever, "Don't be afraid." ”
Seeing that the morale of the soldiers was good, the cold heart no longer lingered, and they hurried forward.
"Did you smell anything?" Ge Chen suddenly said to Han Xin.
Hanxin was slightly stunned, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, quickly find a place with water." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "buzzing" sound. Everyone looked sideways, only to see an overwhelming number of poisonous bees sweeping in.
Ignoring nothing else, the soldiers rushed forward one after another. A few soldiers were left behind in the run.
Han Xin heard the sound of water not far away, and shouted to Ge Chen, "Take everyone to the stream." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head and returned to the back of the line.
Two soldiers were stung by poisonous bees, and in an instant they bled and fell to the ground and died. Cold, he didn't care about anything else, so he took out a fire fold and lit two clusters of dry branches to block the poisonous bees. Blocking the soldiers who were left behind.
The poisonous bee was really afraid of fire, and when he saw the torch in Hanxin's hand, he began to make a detour.
The soldiers jumped into the water and escaped. The torch in Hanxin's hand was about to burn out, and he didn't care about anything else, so he jumped and fell into the water.
The poisonous bees hovered over the place where the soldiers had fallen into the water, refusing to leave. Everyone held their breath in the water for a long time, and they were close to suffocating before the poisonous bees slowly dispersed.
The crowd finally climbed ashore.
"I really suffocated Young Master Ben just now!" Before Ge Chen's words were finished, he saw Han Xin pull out the dagger on his waist. Following his cold gaze, he saw a finger-sized leech lying on his arm, dark and slender. Suddenly I felt a pain in my arm.
"What is this, help Young Master Ben get rid of it!" In Ge Chen's exclamation, Han Xin had already quickly picked off the leech with a dagger.
Ge Chen's voice fell, but he saw several soldiers curled up and fell to the ground, trembling constantly. Coldly turned around and looked at the stream, only to find that the water had long since lost its original clarity, and thousands of leeches were swimming freely in the water.
"Strip them off their clothes immediately, immediately!" Chill commanded.
Their clothes were ripped off, and everyone took a big breath of cold air, only to see that their backs and chests were crawling with wriggling leeches. It is dense and makes people's scalp tingle for a while.
"Quick, set up a fire, roast it on the fire with the dagger you have with you, and remove the leeches from them." At the cold heart, the soldiers immediately did so.
It took a while to pick out the leeches from the soldiers. By the time it was all over, several of the soldiers had already lost their breath. The soldiers looked at their dead brother and fell silent for a while.
Han Xin ordered the dead soldiers to be buried on the spot, and took everyone to kowtow three times before leaving.
Across the creek, the fog lightened a lot.
A few rays of sunlight shone through the thick dense forest, dappled on the grass.
I didn't dare to take it lightly, and my nerves were tense all the time.
"Chill, there seems to be someone over there?" Ge Chen said in a low voice.
Han Xin looked up, and there were indeed two figures in the grass not far away. I simply asked the Batsoldiers to wait in place and go over and see for themselves.
"I'll go with you!" Ge Chen grabbed the cold arm and said uneasily.
Hanxin nodded.
When I walked in, I found that the two people in the grass were wearing the clothes of the armored army, but one of their faces was scratched with blood, and they had long lost their breath. And in their noses, mouths, and ears, there are many yellow ants crawling in and out. It was disgusting to watch.
Ge Chen's face changed slightly, and he was pulled back quickly by the cold heart.
"Let's go, it's not safe here." Unable to care about anything, Chill just wanted to quickly get the Batarmy out of here. And walked away from the opposite direction.
It had been walking for several hours, and there were various situations along the way, and seeing that the soldiers were a little tired, they let everyone camp and rest.
Seeing that Hanxin's face was a little ugly, Ge Chen untied the kettle on his body and handed it over, "Come, drink some water!" ”
Hanxin took the kettle and took a sip, "Is it wrong for me to bring in so many bat troops?" I'll kill them. ”
Ge Chen was a little distressed when he heard the cold self-blame, "The duty of a soldier is to shed blood for the country and sacrifice for the stability of the people, you are not wrong." If you don't end up with Xia Qi in this way, when he has his own army and civil strife breaks out, I am afraid that there will be more dead and injured people. ”
Hearing Ge Chen's words, Han Xin glanced up at the Bat Army behind him, and the firmness in his eyes was even greater.
After enough rest, the soldiers set off again.
