"Everyone, retreat!" Asgen gave the order, and the team began to move slowly backwards. His men rode horses and drove their cars, driving the remaining cattle and sheep back along the same road in an orderly manner.

After retreating about a kilometer, Asgen gave another order: "Stop! ”

Turning his eyes at Ziyang, Asgen said coldly, "Camp here today, and continue to march tomorrow." ”

Ziyang looked at Asgen with some astonishment, he thought that Asgen would directly announce that he would abandon this expedition.

After witnessing the bull's downfall, anyone present understood how dangerous the road ahead was. At this time, Asgen proposed to return to Sunrise Castle, and Ziyang and the others could not refute it.

But it looks like Asgen hasn't given up.

After dinner that night, everyone went back to their tents, and the camp was silent, and Asgen's horses were strictly trained to never neigh, and the whole camp was enveloped in a solemn atmosphere.

Asgen ordered four fires to be lit around the camp, each with a cow tied to it, and the men took turns guarding it.

In a nervous mood, they spent a long night.

Early the next morning, Ziyang came out of the tent and saw that the sky and the earth were foggy, and Asgen's people had already gotten up and were dismantling the tent and packing up their things.

Asgen stood alone outside the camp, his hands behind his back, staring motionlessly at the Cursed Lands in the distance.

Zi Yang came to Asgen and said, "Brother Asgen, how do you arrange it today?" ”

"This road is no longer available, let's try again in a different direction." Asgen's icy tone was as usual.

Zi Yang thought for a while and said, "Brother Asgen, don't take those words of Lao Wang yesterday to heart, that guy has a sick brain." ”

Asgen turned to look at him, "My mission is to get you to that location safely. What I promised Abba, I will do my best to do. As for what you think in your hearts, it has nothing to do with me. ”

Hearing his words, Ziyang was not only a little ashamed, maybe they were all wrong to blame Asgen.

From Li Tianming to Wang Yangming and Professor Zhang, Ziyang has experienced so many intrigues and design persecution, and the trust between people has long been lost in his heart.

But not everyone in the world is so dark in their hearts, and the taciturn man in front of him may not be as cold as he looks on the outside, and his indifference to everyone may be because they have caused the disaster of the blue wolf clan.

Ziyang didn't know how to apologize to Asgen, and he didn't look like he wanted to talk to him, so he hesitated and returned to his tent.

He rested until about 10 a.m., when the fog had cleared before Asgen decided to leave.

Asgen, who were carrying advanced GPS equipment, had found a new route beyond yesterday's one.

This march was much more cautious than yesterday's, a cow and a sheep walked in front of the procession, and the people who drove them followed a few dozen meters from a distance, and the large army went back more than ten meters.

It's a very slow ride, but it's obviously safer.

When they encounter a place with white bones on the road, they avoid it far away, and the closer they get to the target, the more white bones they see.

By the afternoon, the cattle and sheep they had brought along the road had changed three batches, and the route of travel had been changed again and again.

Su Rui noticed that the place where every batch of cattle and sheep that led the way had an accident was in a low-lying and leeward place.

And in the high places facing the sun and wind, there has never been anything abnormal.

At Suri's suggestion, Asgen planned a new route, and the team walked almost on the ridge, and the two carts they had brought with them could no longer drive, so they put their luggage on horseback and continued along the rugged peak.

In this way, we stopped and stopped, and in the evening, we finally reached the valley where the coordinates were.

The legendary Valley of Death was at his feet, and seeing the long and narrow valley full of white bones, Lao Wang couldn't help but shiver a few times.

"Is this stepping on the gate of hell? Why is it so evil? If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would have thought you were watching a horror blockbuster. ”

Asgen glanced at Su Rui, "Do you have any opinions?" ”

Since discovering the pattern of the death of cattle and sheep, everyone has followed the route suggested by Su Rui, and there have been no accidents along the way, and Asgen can't help but be impressed by the little girl's ability. At this time, there was no other road ahead of them, and in order to reach the coordinates, they had to cross the valley of death.

The question is, what kind of danger lies underneath that would litter this narrow valley with dead animals?

Su Rui said thoughtfully: "Judging from the previous accidents, we may have encountered a miasma, and in some low-lying, leeward places, a large amount of toxic gas was deposited. Cattle and sheep were killed immediately after inhaling poisonous gas. ”

Ziyang frowned and said, "No, I remember that miasma can only occur in the primeval forest with a humid and hot climate. The air here is so dry and cold, and there is not much vegetation cover, it does not have the conditions for formation. ”

Su Rui nodded: "This is the strange place, I can't figure out how these poisonous gases are produced, why the concentration is so high, and it can make large livestock such as cattle and sheep fall in an instant." Unfortunately, we lack the appropriate equipment, otherwise we can collect gas samples and analyze the composition. ”

Lao Wang said impatiently: "Can we stop standing on this hillside and talking?" The wind blows my farts & farts are going to be cold! Let me see that as long as we can walk through this Valley of the Dead alive, no matter what its principle is, we are not here to engage in scientific research! ”

Although Lao Wang's words are very rough, Li'er is indeed there. Now was not the time to discuss this, the coordinates on the map were as far as the eye could see, and the ruins of the trees were already visible to the naked eye.

But with such a valley of death covered with corpses and bones in front of them, they couldn't cross it.

Asgen ordered a sheep to be driven down, and after walking more than ten meters in the valley with its head shaken, it fell to its knees on all fours and lay on the ground without moving.

Everyone gasped.

"It's not going to work!" Lao Wang said with a bitter face.

Su Rui raised his eyes and pointed to the hillside behind the ruins and said, "If you go down from there, you can directly reach the coordinates." It's windward, and it's on a high place, so it's safer. ”

Asgen looked at the place and said, "It's too far, we'll have to make a big detour to get there, and this part of the mountain road is too steep for cattle and horses to walk." ”

Su Rui said regretfully: "But this is the only path we can choose." ”

To go or not to go? They are faced with a difficult choice.

Zi Yang and Ah Chong glanced at each other, turned to Asgen and said, "We plan to give it a try, Brother Asgen, thank you for your help along the way, if you go back now, I can understand." ”

Lao Wang shouted in a panic: "Huh? Don't! Don't go! When they go back, we're going to be cold fart! Are you familiar with this place? ”

Zi Yang glanced at him: "The road ahead is too dangerous, let's not force people to make it difficult." ”

"You know it's dangerous, and you want to go alone? We're not human, are we? You're not fleshy, are you? ”

"Shut up! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will kick you into the ditch! Zi Yang said angrily.

"You dare!" Lao Wang pursed his lips and said, looked at the white bones in the valley below, and finally stopped talking.

Asgen was silent for a while, then looked back at his men, then turned to Ziyang and said, "They stay here and camp, and I'll go with you." Each person brought three days' worth of supplies. Retreat as soon as you run out of supplies! ”

Zi Yang looked at Su Rui, and Su Rui nodded.

Looking at Ah Chong again, Ah Chong said briefly: "Yes." ”

Ziyang looked at Asgen and said, "Okay! That's it! ”

Lao Wang muttered unhappily: "Why don't you ask my opinion too!" Lao Li, are you human? Brothers who were born and died together, you treat me like this? Do I have a place in your heart to make a big fart? You're going to talk back to me......"

At that moment, Asgen gave orders to his subordinates, and Zi Yang, Ah Chong, Su Rui, Lao Wang, Xiao Hei and others began to prepare the supplies and expedition equipment they carried with them.

Zi Yang saw that Lao Wang was still carrying a submachine gun, and couldn't help but persuade him: "We don't need this bulky thing, you better bring more food, medicine and water." ”

"Not really!"

After everything was packed up, Lao Wang raised his gun into the air, "Comrades, let's go!" ”

Ah Chong glanced at the crowd: "I'm in the front, Xiao Hei is the second, keep a distance of 30 meters from me." Others followed. ”

Zi Yang understands that Ah Chong put the two best people in front of him in order to deal with unexpected situations.

Although he knew that he was skilled, Zi Yang still told in a rambling manner: "Remember to walk high to the sun, it is best to stand on the windward side, slow down, if there is anything wrong, withdraw first and then talk about it......"

Ah Chong nodded, tightened his backpack, and stepped onto the rugged mountain road.

The mountain range they walked on was winding and treacherous. The perennial wind and rain carve the mountain peak like a knife and axe, it is too reluctant to say that there is a "road", walking on it is similar to rock climbing, the narrow path can only allow one person to pass, some places half a foot on the ground, half a foot in the air, below is a rocky cliff.

Except for Ah Chong, who walked in the front, the others were all connected together with safety ropes, because they couldn't get professional climbing equipment such as mountaineering picks, so they prepared a few short-handled horn picks instead, and when they encountered dangerous places in the mountains, they first used horn picks to fix the safety ropes on the mountain wall, and then the others passed in turn.

This is about the same speed as a turtle climbing a hill. They climbed for more than half an hour with great effort, and they were less than two kilometers away from the same place.

Zi Yang carefully climbed the hillside while looking up at Ah Chong's figure in front of him from time to time. It is not yet known what caused the death of the animals, and the ridge is not completely safe, so no accidents should occur.

After crossing a mountain beam, the Arabic conflict in front of him suddenly stopped.
