On the frontal battlefield of the Saibei Corridor, the attacks of the Eight Sages King came one after another, and there was a faint feeling that he would not give up until he took the Saibei Corridor.

Helian was mighty and commanded, but he was on par with the Eight Sages King, and it was lively.

Wang Xiaolai led the team to enter the Saibei corridor, where the mountains are lined with poisonous insects and beasts.

After the army set up camp, Shen Xiping found Wang Xiaolai and said: "My lord, it is said that this Saibei promenade is not safe, it is known as a man-eating mountain, we don't have a guide to guide the way, won't we delay time?" ”

Wang Xiaolai drank the tea that Hongxiang brought him (because of Wang Xiaolai's body, the empress insisted on sending someone to take care of Wang Xiaolai, and the two compromised with each other, only brought Hongxiang)

Putting down the cup in his hand, Wang Xiaolai smiled bitterly: "Of course I know this, but you also saw it when we entered the mountain, none of the local people dared to lead the way, what can I do?" ”

Shen Xiping sat down next to Wang Xiaolai, stretched out his hand to bake the fire, and sighed: "Alas, yes, those people are really, knowing that we are going to destroy the grassland this time, no one will be a guide for us, but fortunately, there are three barbarian brothers to follow, they have the experience of surviving in the mountains and forests, let them lead the way, and they will not get lost." ”

Wang Xiaolai pursed his lips and didn't speak, recalling the frightened expressions of the people when he first entered the mountain.

"There are imps from hell in the mountains, you can't enter the mountains, general, they will eat people."

Wang Xiaolai shook his head helplessly, and said in his heart what is it, how can there be ghosts in this world?

"My lord, what do you say, what will those little ghosts that the people say look like?" Shen Xiping suddenly asked.

Wang Xiaolai glanced at him: "What, you also believe this?" ”

Shen Xiping scratched his head with a smile: "I can't say that I believe it, I always feel a little hairy in my heart, and those people don't look like they're lying." ”

Wang Xiaolai sighed: "It may be that there are some poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains, and when the people entered the mountains, they accidentally saw the wrong ones, and they couldn't say for sure." ”

Shen Xiping listened to it and thought about it carefully, and also felt that it made sense, so he laughed: "I'll just say, how can there be a little ghost." ”

"My lord, it's not good!"

At this moment, Liu Mianyi opened the curtain from outside and walked over, with a panicked look on her face.

Wang Xiaolai raised his head and frowned and asked, "Lao Liu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Liu Mianyi lowered his voice and said, "My lord, today, more than twenty soldiers are missing, more than the previous few days combined. ”

Wang Xiaolai stood up directly: "What? ”

Liu Mian recalled: "My lord, it's true. ”

Wang Xiaolai walked back and forth in the same place, his brows were twisted into a pimple, and he entered the mountain for four days, and dozens of people disappeared before and after.

If the soldiers disappeared a few days ago because they didn't know the way, and it is understandable that they were lost, but he had already ordered the soldiers not to leave the team at will if they were fine, how could there be soldiers who continued to be lost? And more than twenty?

"My lord, it is said that a sergeant saw something strange..." Liu Mianyi hesitated.

Wang Xiaolai's eyes lit up: "What about the sergeant?" ”

Liu Mianyi felt a little embarrassed to say it, so he said: "That, the last general thinks what he said is too outrageous, and he is afraid that he will disturb the morale of the army, so he will lock him up." ”

"Take me to see it." Wang Xiaolai said directly.

Liu Mianyi nodded, turned around and said, "My lord, come with me." ”

Wang Xiaolai followed and stood up, Shen Xiping took a look, and also stood up and followed.

Out of the tent, Xian Jingyu, who was standing outside the tent, saw that Wang Xiaolai looked like he was going out, so he looked at Wang Xiaolai with curiosity: "My lord, who are you?" ”

Wang Xiaolai waved his hand: "It's okay, it's customary to patrol the camp." ”

Xian Jingyu sighed and followed silently.

He knew that this kind of thing was usually done by Shen Xiping and Liu Mianyi, and it was impossible for Wang Xiaolai to come forward to do it, as long as he thought about it, he knew that there must be something in it.

Therefore, Xian Jingyu followed.

It was not only Xian Jingyu who followed, but also Li Baiyi, who came with him.

The latter is much simpler, without saying a word, standing in front of Wang Xiaolai, you ask him, and he doesn't speak.

There was no way, Wang Xiaolai, who didn't want to make a noise, had to lead both of them to go.

All the way to the tent of the soldier who saw the strange thing that Liu Mianyi said, Wang Xiao came to look at Liu Mianyi, and then walked in.

"Monsters, monsters, so many monsters..."

As soon as he entered the tent, he heard a whisper, Wang Xiaolai followed the sound and saw that a soldier was sitting on the bed with his legs curled, holding the quilt tightly in front of his chest with both hands, and his mouth was babbling continuously, and the whole person seemed to have lost his mind and gone crazy.

Wang Xiaolai frowned.

Liu Mianyi stepped forward and said, "Guo Kai, the general has come to see you." ”

The soldier named Guo Kai didn't seem to hear it, and he was still talking nonsense.

Wang Xiaolai frowned, and Li Baiyi said beside him: "He was just frightened and lost his heart." ”

"Is there a way?" Wang Xiaolai asked.

Li Baiyi nodded, walked up, and a ball of qi gathered in his hand, slowly advancing Guo Kai's eyebrows.

After three or two breaths, Guo's scattered pupils gathered their spirits again, trembled, looked up and Wang Xiaolai turned over and knelt down: "General!! ”

Wang Xiaolai waved his hand, sat next to Guo Kai, looked at him, and said, "Listen to Liu Zhonglang, what did you see?" ”

When Guo Kai heard this, a little frightened look appeared on his face, and then nodded busily.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaolai hurriedly asked, "What did you see?" ”

Guo Kai swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Little, little ghost..."

"What!" Wang Xiaolai was taken aback, and then hurriedly said, "You tell me carefully what's going on." ”

Guo Kai nodded and said, "Then, those guys are only about three feet tall, like dwarfs, with long noses, sharp teeth, curled up, heads, and red hair... By the way, their skin is dark blue. ”

Wang Xiaolai frowned at that time.

Guo Kaisheng was afraid that Wang Xiaolai would not believe it, so he hurriedly said: "General, the little ones really didn't lie, those little ghosts came in groups, no less than thousands, they were lying on their stomachs in the treetops, and after the patrolling brothers passed, they directly swooped down and arrested the brothers." ”

"You're saying that those things, the ones that attacked, were patrols?" Wang Xiaolai asked.

Guo Kai nodded hurriedly, threw away the quilt he was holding, tore off the armor on his body, exposed his chest, and said with a stalk around his neck: "Look, general, this is the wound left by those little ghosts on the little one." ”

Wang Xiaolai hurriedly stared at it, and after taking a look, he felt a burst of nausea.

There was a bloody wound on Guo Kai's chest, and there were dense tooth marks on his chest, as if he had been gnawed off by some wild beast.

Guo Kai trembled and said: "Those little ghosts pounced on me and bit them, swallowing the flesh of their brothers alive, the few little ghosts who dealt with me at that time were small, and I killed two and ran back, they saw that I went back to the barracks, and they didn't dare to chase me anymore, so I fled back to my life, general." ”

Wang Xiaolai took a deep breath: "I, I know, Lao Liu, let the military doctor bandage this brother well." ”

Liu Mianyi nodded in agreement.

Then, Wang Xiaolai came out of the tent and muttered in a low voice: "Little ghost, is there really such a thing?" ”

"Oh, king, this is your mistake, what strange things are not in this world? Has the king forgotten about the three monsters in the Black Water Pool? ”

At this moment, he heard a burst of laughter in his ears, and Wang Xiaolai looked back, it was Toto who went out with the army and represented the elite of the three barbarians.

Wang Xiaolai was taken aback: "Why are you here?" ”

Toto pouted: "The little ghosts you just mentioned, our brothers of the three barbarians also found out, it is certain that there are indeed such monsters in this mountain forest, I think, this is probably the reason why the local people dare not go into the mountains to cut wood." ”

Wang Xiaolai stared at Toto faintly.

Toto raised his hand and said, "King, don't look at me with such a frightening look, it will frighten people." ”

As soon as Wang Xiaolai wanted to speak, he was cold, when he heard a shout that almost pierced the sky coming from his tent.

"It's the voice of the red incense!!

Wang Xiaolai shouted at that time.
