Chapter 109: Looting Grain and Grass
"Poof!"
Han Qing felt two black shadows flash around him, and several torches lit up around him, but he was immediately knocked to the ground by the black shadows.
Through the faint light of the fire, a cold light flashed on the black shadow's body, it was a long knife with a trace of blood on it.
"Ahh
A few howls pierced the night sky, and the soldiers who followed him fell to the ground in response to the cold light and rain around him.
Suddenly, countless pairs of blue-green eyes flashed in the cold night, and the black shadow quickly rushed towards the hillside.
Han Qing brandished the dragon slaying whip in his right hand, flew down the hillside of more than ten zhang, and slowly mana, the aura gradually converged on the dragon slaying whip through the qi veins, emitting a light blue halo.
"Whew!"
The Dragon Slaying Whip swept through, forming a blue circle area of about ten zhang around Han Qing, and the dozen or so black shadows that suddenly flashed in the area were instantly cut off by lazy waists, instantly turning into a pile of coke.
"It's a demon spirit!" Han Qing smelled the foul smell in the air, "How can the person escorting the grain and grass be a demon spirit?"
But without caring about so much, thousands of demon spirits suddenly appeared at the bottom of the mountain, roaring and rushing towards the crowd, but without the assistance of firelight, these Terran soldiers could only be beaten passively.
On the contrary, those dead soldiers shuttled between the demons and the human race in the night like fish in water, but because of the large number of demons, they could not save the soldiers who were killed, so they could only do their best to escort as many soldiers as possible out of the encirclement.
In just a quarter of an hour, the 2,000 Terran soldiers who came with him had been slaughtered by the demons, and only a few rushed out to ask for help, while the 1,500 dead soldiers continued to fight the demons.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The surrounding dead men kept changing their shapes, and the long sword in his hand cut off the demon spirit around him, and in the originally dark night, he was illuminated by the orange flame when the demon spirit was incinerated.
Spread all over the mountains, tens of thousands of demon spirits continued to replenish the attacking team, and a piercing roar echoed throughout the canyon, and Han Qing realized that they were surrounded.
An ambush that had been carefully planned was turned into a counter-encirclement by the enemy, and Han Qing felt a little annoyed that he had underestimated the enemy and had buried the lives of more than 2,000 soldiers in vain.
At this time, Han Qing suddenly found that a burst of light suddenly came from the west side of the canyon, and another fire dragon entered the canyon.
Han Qing's right hand swept across the dragon slaying whip, and with the incineration of dozens of demon spirits, he jumped onto a boulder, and looked at the fire dragon in the distance through the rain curtain, the fire dragon did not stop because of the battle in the canyon, but continued to move forward slowly.
"Damn!
Han Qing cursed resentfully, but it was too late, the fire dragon was gradually approaching, the battle here was in full swing, and there was no longer the energy to rob and kill the grain transport team.
Han Qing was already a little exhausted, panting heavily, although the power of the dragon slaying whip was huge, it was too consuming spiritual power, and within half an hour, he was a little powerless.
Although the dead soldiers are still struggling to kill the demon spirits, the more and more the demons are killed, as if they can come out of the ground at any time, and they can't finish killing them.
And for some reason, these demon spirits knew that they would be killed if they approached the dead, but they still recklessly used their bodies to touch the long swords in the hands of the dead soldiers until they were incinerated into powder, and they never retreated.
According to this way of fighting, I am afraid that these demon spirits will not be able to kill them by dawn, not to mention that the purpose of their trip is to rob the grain and grass, but after this battle, the fighter plane has been lost, and there is no point in continuing to fight.
"Withdraw!"
Han Qing's right hand pulled back, and the dragon slaying whip flashed with lightning and quickly shortened, and more than a thousand dead soldiers quickly gathered around him, forming a huge defensive circle.
"Retreat!"
Han Qing shouted again, and the defensive circle began to move rapidly to the northeast, and thousands of demon spirits along the way were reduced to ashes by the dead soldiers on the periphery.
When they rushed out of the encirclement of the demon spirit, it was already close to dawn, and the rain had stopped, but the cold wind was still cold, Han Qing involuntarily shuddered, fortunately the demon spirit did not chase after him, and only a piece of charred black dust was left behind him.
Han Qing sat alone on a rock, feeling guilty for the dead soldiers, and even more ashamed of his failure to complete the mission.
He was very upset, but there was no one to tell him, for he had not heard a word from them during the time he had been with them, not even a sneeze, and they had only carried out their orders without reservation.
"What should I do next?" Han Qing said silently as he looked at the corpses in the canyon in frustration.
The dead man beside him did not answer, and also silently watched the movement of the canyon.
"Are you going to just go back?"
"Do you even speak?"
Han Qing stood up, straightened his clothes, and looked at a dead soldier beside him, this dead soldier had been by his side from beginning to end, and his orders were passed on to others through this dead soldier, although he didn't know how information was passed between them.
"Are you willing?"
Han Qing didn't know if these people had a heart, because their faces were always covered with a black cloth, and they couldn't see any psychological fluctuations in their cold eyes.
"What kind of being are you?"
Judging from the infinite transformation and reunion of the dead in the previous battle, so that after a night of fighting, they were not damaged at all, it seems that they can be immortal and immortal.
"A bunch of wood!" Han Qing looked angrily at the dead soldiers beside him.
At this point, the dead man finally reacted, and he raised his strong right arm and pointed to the east.
"What??" Han Qing looked at the east with some excitement, "What do you mean?"
The dead man pulled out a roll of parchment from his bosom, which was a map.
Han Qing opened the map and followed the instructions of the dead man to find it on the map.
"Backwaters!"
Han Qing's eyes lit up, that was the only way for the grain transport team, and it was also the second advantageous place for them to rob and kill, but at that time, because the distance was too far, they chose to ambush in the canyon, and now it seems that they have a second chance.
Han Qing looked at the dead soldiers beside him, although there were no two thousand soldiers, but with these dead soldiers, it was enough to rob and kill a grain transportation team, this time, he didn't plan to snatch the grain and grass, and directly burned it to avoid another accident.
"Okay!" Han Qing laughed a few times, hugged the dead man's shoulder, and said, "I'll just say, you are definitely not wood!"
Xixia Town, Handsome Tent.
The soldiers who rushed out of the canyon reported Han Qing's encirclement to Wen Bo, and Duan Feng was taken aback, "How can there be a demon clan there!"
Although the demon clan participated in this rebellion, but the number is very small, and all of them are concentrated in the northwest direction, and they are contained by more than 100,000 official troops, and the demon venerable has not been traced so far, the demon army is only under the leadership of the four holy spirit knights to assist the Phoenix Army to occupy Beihua County and Yunshang County, the war has started for more than a year, and the demon army has not appeared in other places.
"Could it be that the Demon Venerable is going to start moving?" Wen Bo wondered, "It's impossible, even if the Demon Venerable wants to act, it should be attacked from the northwest direction, which is the closest place to the Emperor's Tomb, and he can't be willing to go far." ”
"Unless he has some other purpose. ”
"The soldier said that those demons were escorting a group of vehicles through the canyon at that time, so what were they transporting, so that those demons would protect them at all costs. ”
"No matter what it is, but one thing is certain, those things are very important to the demons, and they must not be allowed to transport that thing to its destination smoothly. ”
"You want to rob them?" said Wenbo in surprise, "No! it's too dangerous, and we don't have enough troops here to give it to you now." ”
"I don't want your troops, judging by the current situation, the rebels won't attack again for a while, so I want to go and see the situation first. ”
Wen Bo looked at Duan Feng with a serious expression on his face, knowing that he couldn't change his determination, so he could only reluctantly agree.
"But you only have three days, and after three days, no matter what the result is, you have to come back. ”
"Don't worry!" Duan Feng threw out the Ice Sword, volleyed into the air, and disappeared into the gloomy twilight in the blink of an eye.
Duan Feng followed the direction indicated by the soldiers, flying quickly in the direction of the demon spirit's convoy, and from time to time he could see groups of fleeing civilians under his feet, and sometimes he could see the camp of the rebels, but the camp of the official army was rarely visible.
Duan Feng secretly sighed in his heart, in this war, I am afraid that the official army has little chance of winning, and he began to feel sorry for these people under his feet.
"Hmm, it's a familiar place!" Duan Feng stopped and looked at the familiar scene under his feet, "It's a ghost calling a pit." He still remembered his promise to the Desirers, but now that the world was in turmoil, he could only put his promise on the back for the time being.
The Cold Ice Sword continued to move forward for about two hundred miles, staying above the Hidden Fog Mountain, which is a small hill located in the northeast of Yunxia County, with a radius of less than 100 miles, although the area is small, but the mountain is very dangerous, it is said that there are many cultivators and hermits, and the whole mountain is shrouded in a cloud of mist all year round.
Within a radius of 100 miles around the mountain is a long swamp, and there is only a highland more than two miles wide connecting the Hidden Fog Mountain and the outside world, and the west side of the highland is adjacent to the east exit of the East Fork Canyon of Xiaoyun Mountain.
Duan Feng tracked down here and lost the trace of the demon spirit, and there was no other way except to enter the area around the Hidden Misty Mountain, "What are they doing here?"
Duan Feng fell in the center of the Hidden Fog Mountain, where the visibility was less than 100 meters, the air was filled with moisture, and a few roars of wild beasts could be heard from the mountain from time to time.
"There are rut marks!" Duan Feng squatted down and touched the dirt in the rut with his hand, "It's new soil, and it's mixed with silt, which is consistent with the situation described by the soldiers, they really entered the Hidden Fog Mountain!"
"Roar!"
A cool breeze blew from behind him, Duan Feng instinctively turned to the side, and a one-eyed beast more than a foot tall flew past him, and then quickly disappeared into the thick fog.
He held the Ice Sword in his hand, vigilantly listening to the movements around him, the fierce beast just now is not like an ordinary beast, it should be a monster beast or something like the situation, the Hidden Fog Mountain is the place where the immortal cultivator is located, how can there be a demon beast?
"Knock knock!"
With two muffled sounds, a huge black shadow descended from the sky and landed ten zhang away from Duan Feng, and the strong wind brought by the black shadow blew away the surrounding fog.
Duan Feng hurriedly hid behind a big tree and quietly watched the movement of the black shadow, now that the situation was unknown, he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
It was a chimpanzee about ten feet tall, and the chimpanzee slowly turned around, holding an adult white tiger in his mouth, looked around, and then beat his arms the chest a few times, and flew away with a loud roar.
