Chapter Seventy-Three: Sacrifice
Zhong Xiong, Ji Yuan and the others asked together, "What way?"
Feng Yi glanced at everyone and said, "My father once told me that the most dangerous place is the safest place. Now that there is no way to escape, it is safest to stay here. ”
Someone shouted, "Stay here, wait for death?"
Ji Yuan said lightly: "Listen to Brother Feng." ”
Feng Yi nodded and continued: "Don't worry, everyone, I don't mean to go back to that prison, but stay in the mountains." “
Everyone was still confused, only Zhong Xiong's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Feng Yi, what do you ......mean?"
Feng Yi smiled and said: "Yes, this Gu Feng Mountain is hundreds of zhang high, and the Han Kingdom can dig so many prisons in the mountains to imprison the rangers, can't we?"
When Ji Yuan heard this, he showed a happy look and said, "Brother Feng is really full of tricks, but how to dig this cave?"
Feng Yi and Zhong Xiong looked at each other and smiled, and then told the secret of the stone heart worm. The rangers were amazed, and the fear in their hearts had long since vanished. It's just that some men with violent temperaments are a little frustrated when they hear that they can't go out and fight to the death.
Feng Yi said again: "It's just that the time is a little short, so please squeeze in." “
Someone shouted: "What are you afraid of when you squeeze it, it's gloomy in this mountain, and it's warm to squeeze it." The crowd burst into laughter.
Feng Yi and Zhong Xiong discussed for a moment, and then let Ji Yuan command the rangers, while the Gumu people controlled the stone worms and found a safe place to dig up. Everyone was a rare master in the Great Wilderness, full of spiritual power, one man was exhausted, and the other person immediately followed, and soon dug a passage, winding upward, just above the hall where the ghost was located.
While everyone was busy, they suddenly felt a click around them, and several stones cracked and smashed into the ranger's body. Those people were afraid to make a sound, and tried their best to hold back, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of their mouths.
Feng Yi was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to check and heal their wounds.
Zhong Xiong suddenly said: "The risk is too great, the stones of Gufeng Mountain are too crispy, and it is already reluctant to dig a hall and nine prisons below, if we dig any further, I am afraid that it will cause a landslide." ”
Feng Yi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this, if a landslide really happened, everyone would probably be buried here.
Silent Zhong, Ji Yuan said in a deep voice: "Go on, even if you are buried here, it is better than becoming a prisoner of the Cold Country." We rangers all have a free heart, and even if we die in the mountains, we will turn into big trees and break out of the rocks. ”
A ranger immediately responded: "Hehe, what Leader Ji said is that we rangers are not afraid of heaven and earth, and if the mountain dares to bury us, we will smash the stone and drill it out." ”
Feng Yi, Zhong Xiong and others were arrogant when they heard this, and they put life and death aside for a while.
As the group continued upward, the slime secreted by the stone worm emitted a faint glow, carving the outline of the cave.
After about half an hour, Zhong Xiong waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's almost okay, this place is almost at the top of the mountain, even if these dog thieves in the Han Kingdom want to break their heads, they can't imagine that we are on their heads." ”
Someone laughed and said, "Hehe, after so many days of grievances, we can finally and pee on their heads." ”
Everyone laughed and sat down one after another, pranayama to heal their wounds.
At this moment, Ji Yuan pulled Feng Yi and Zhong Xiong aside, and said slowly: "Thank you two this time, without you, we rangers would really be reduced to lonely ghosts in the Great Wilderness." ”
Feng Yi smiled and said: "Brother Ji, why be polite, we are like-minded and like-minded, what is this little favor?"
Zhong Xiong also said: "What I said is that our Gumu clan has long wanted to make friends with the Great Wilderness Ranger, but we don't have the opportunity, and it is our honor to be able to do a little bit today." He kept Yu Mo's instructions in mind and wanted to win over the rangers, so he took the risk this time. At this moment, he was secretly happy in his heart, from now on, these rangers would definitely have a good impression of the Gumu clan.
Ji Yuan said: "Then I'm not welcome." Hiding in a cave and waiting for the right moment is a good idea, but there is a flaw. ”
Feng Yi's heart flashed, and he said: "Brother Ji, you mean, if they find that the rangers in the prison are gone, they will immediately search the mountain, in case they find this cave, right?"
When Zhong Xiong heard this, he immediately said: "This can rest assured, in addition to dissolving stones, the stone heart worm can also seal the cave, leaving only a little passage to breathe, and it is absolutely impossible for the people of the cold country to find it." “
Ji Yuan shook his head and said, "You underestimate the strength of the Han Kingdom too much, that ghostly ghost, he can sense the power of the soul, and he may not be able to find it by an ordinary person." But there were so many people gathered in this little cave, and if he had noticed something, he would have found out. ”
Feng Yi thought about it for a long time, but there was no good way.
Ji Yuan suddenly glanced at the rangers who were quietly healing, and said in a deep voice: "For today's plan, there is only a way to survive with a broken tail." ”
"Dead tail to survive?!"
Feng Yi was shocked when he heard this, and he was silently speechless. This severed tail to survive is naturally to sacrifice some rangers to avoid being discovered by the people of the cold country that everyone has escaped.
However, as a result, there is little chance that these rangers will survive.
Feng Yi was silent, not knowing what to say, Zhong Xiong wanted to speak several times, but finally sighed.
Ji Yuan nodded, walked to the front of the rangers, and said, "Everyone, I have something to say below." ”
The rangers stood up one after another and shouted, "Leader Ji has anything to say, our life will be handed over to you today." ”
"That's it, Leader Ji is resourceful, with you we will definitely be able to escape and defeat this gang of traitors in the Han Kingdom!"
Feng Yi and Zhong Xiong listened, and their hearts were full of taste.
Ji Yuan was silent for a moment before he said, "Everyone, the spies of the Cold Kingdom are as dense as the tide, and the ghostly and fierce gods are even more evil. It's almost impossible for us to survive by hiding here. ”
When the rangers heard this, they knew that Ji Yuan must have come up with a solution, so they called out one after another: "If Leader Ji has any orders, just say it." ”
Ji Yuan said slowly: "At this moment, the nine prisons of the Cold Country are already empty, in case the soldiers of the Cold Country come to investigate, they will be exposed at once." So we'll have to leave some people in the prison, bluffing, messing with their audio-visual, and we'll have a chance to get out of here as long as we hold on until the day from now. ”
As soon as he said this, there was a deathly silence in the cave. Everyone can hear that Ji Yuan's plan is to sacrifice some people to preserve most of his strength.
Some of the people sacrificed will die for life, and it is very likely that they will be tortured and tortured, and they are more likely to be devoured by ghosts, and their souls will be in pain forever.
Before, all the rangers said that they would go to the soup and go to the fire, but when it was really time to give their lives, or even their souls, everyone was terrified and frightened, and they were speechless for a while.
After a long time, he still did not speak...... Everyone seemed to be able to hear the heartbeat of others, and it seemed to be ...... Powerful and powerful, yet so fragile.
Ji Yuan said: "Is there a volunteer?"
After a pause, he said: "Don't worry, this move is equivalent to saving everyone's lives, and I Ji Yuan has the responsibility to count me as the first." ”
When Feng Yi heard this, he exclaimed, "Brother Ji?"
Finally, a slightly older ranger stood up and said with a smile: "I'm already old, if it weren't for my son dying at the hands of the people of the Han Kingdom this time, I wouldn't have come out." Since I can save everyone's lives, I'm the one who counts as well. I just hope for ...... I hope everyone can avenge my son. “
As he spoke, his voice was already a little choked.
Everyone was concerned, and suddenly a young ranger said: "Damn, count me as one, I want to see what the people of the Han Kingdom can do with me?"
Someone took the lead, and the crowd shouted one after another.
"Count me in!"
"And me!"
For a time, more than 200 people stood up, not like they were going to die, but competing for some supreme glory.
Zhong Xiong watched from the side, and said secretly in his heart: "No wonder Mo'er values the ranger so much, just this courage, few people can compare." “
Ji Yuan was indignant in his heart, and said: "Everyone don't be impatient, nine prisons, a hundred people are enough." In this way, among these rangers who stand up, the only child returns, the parents who are still alive return, and the younger twenty years old return......"
When his words fell, everyone looked at each other, and the qualified people silently retreated into the crowd, leaving only exactly one hundred and eight people.
Ji Yuan looked at them for a moment, and suddenly clenched his fists: "You are all rare heroes, I, Ji Yuan, thank you here." We were divided into nine teams with me and returned to the prison.
Feng Yi was taken aback: "Brother Ji really wants to go back?" Although these rangers have their own specialties and are brave and fearless, they are stragglers after all, and if there is no one to command, it is just a plate of loose sand.
And among these thousand people, the only one who is both wise and brave and can convince people is Ji Yuan.
Feng Yi was about to speak, and those rangers had already shouted, "Leader Ji, you must not go back." If we don't have you, who will command the rest of us?"
"That is, in the past, we fought on our own, and we were repeatedly defeated in the hands of the Han people. But since following you, hey, that's really a big eyebrow. If it hadn't been for the ambush, I'm afraid this Luoshui Forest Garden would have been turned upside down by us. ”
Everyone, every word you and I say, is to prevent Ji Yuan from going back.
The one hundred and eight people also said: "Leader Ji, just leave this little matter to us." Once we never come back, this revenge will be handed over to you. ”
Ji Yuan's eyes were blurred with tears, and he bowed and saluted, crying silently.
