Two years and four months have passed since the boring march, and the Chinese army has entered Nanling Mansion with stops and turns. That night, Lingwu was reading. Suddenly found that his jade pendant was faintly glowing, and he knew that it was his grandfather contacting him. Lingwu hurriedly urged his spiritual sense and communicated with his grandfather.

King Liang's spiritual priest contacted his grandfather and passed on the latest military information. According to the other party, this time the brute beasts came from the southwest, and there were a large number of them. The two god generals of Xilianghou and the neighboring Longxihou led a total of more than one million people, and after fighting with the brute beast for half a year, the brute beast was repulsed and retreated eastward along the edge of the mountain. The two marquis led the army to pursue behind, and the brute beast fled all the way, but did not return to the mountain. King Liang was worried that the brute beasts might have to enter Nanling Mansion from west to east, so he ordered Long Weihou to organize a defense in Nanling Mansion as early as possible, and asked Long Weihou where his army was now.

Lingwu explained to his grandfather the approximate location and situation of the former army and the middle army, and it didn't take long for his grandfather's spiritual sense to be very weak, and he just told Lingwu to pay attention to safety and cut off contact. Lingwu knew that his grandfather's health must be very bad, so he couldn't help but worry. Thinking of the urgency of the military situation, he couldn't care about being sad, and hurriedly asked Shi Yong and other guards to prepare to go to the Chinese army's tent to see Hou Ye.

The big tent of the Chinese army is brightly lit, and Hou Ye has obviously not rested, there are many sentry posts outside, and the sword is out of the sheath. As soon as Lingwu arrived a kilometer away from the big tent, a sentry shouted: "Who is here?" Stop and give your name. ”

Shi Yong waved his hand, and the guards stopped, and he responded loudly: "Master Young Master has an urgent military situation to see Master Hou, and I am Lord Young Master's guard." ”

"It's the young master, you wait a minute, we will report to the Hou Ye immediately" Someone on the opposite side came to the front with a torch and took a closer look. Seeing that Lingwu walked out of the surrounding guards, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "It's really a young master, it's a small faux pas." Master Hou and the head of the guard explained to us, saying that as long as it was you, there was no need to report it. Please, it's windy and cold here. After saying that, he flashed aside, sent Lingwu and his party over, and shouted loudly: "It's the young master, let it go." ”

Before Lingwu walked in front of the big tent, a person came out of the big tent and walked over in a few steps, but it was Ji Longshan, the third young master of the Chinese army's guards: "Lingwu, it's so late, come over, there must be an important military situation." Come inside, it's too cold. The minions don't care, why don't you use a sedan chair to carry it, let you walk over. ”

"The young master is concerned, the matter is urgent, and there is no time to prepare. The next time I'll be mindful, it's none of their business. Didn't disturb the Hou Ye's rest, right? ”

"No, no, let's get in."

Ji Longshan let Lingwu into the big tent, and the Hou Ye was looking at the map at the marching table in the big tent, and many generals were next to him. As soon as he heard him come in, Hou Ye raised his head and greeted him with a smile: "Lingwu is here, it's so cold, come and warm up by my brazier." ”

"Lingwu see Master Hou, I'm not cold. My grandfather came with news just now. ”

"Oh? The master hasn't contacted us for a long time, so there must be something important, right? Come and hear it" Hou Ye suddenly became serious, and everyone turned their attention to Lingwu.

After listening to Lingwu's words, Long Weihou was obviously a little more relaxed, and said with a smile: "It's just an ordinary brute beast, it's much easier to deal with." King Liang's return to the army shows that the problem is not too serious, but these two guys are also hateful, why did they drive the brute beasts to my side. It looks like we're going to have to speed up our march and can't stop for a while. Lingwu, you came just in time, and I was looking for you. ”

"What does Master Hou command?"

"It's been three months since the former army entered Nanling Mansion, and the earliest information I received from them was a month ago. I estimate that the striker is not far from the Xiliang border, I don't know what the situation is? You can scout the current position and situation of the striker for me, oh, can you search this far away now? ”

"I guess that's fine. I'll give it a try. ”

"Everyone be quiet, don't affect the young master," Long Weihou ordered loudly.

Lingwu walked to the fire, and Xia Yu hurriedly spread a piece of animal fur on the ground. Lingwu sat cross-legged and looked inwardly at the rapidly spinning spiritual vortex in his brain. After two years of cultivation, the vortex has shrunk drastically. The nebula-shaped vortex was gone, leaving only a walnut-sized ball that glowed faintly red. Lingwu concentrated his spiritual consciousness on the jade pendant, and the people next to him saw a purple halo flashing on the jade pendant. Lingwu's spiritual consciousness fluctuated like a beam of light and spread out in the southwest direction, and the earth quickly retreated in Lingwu's mind. Lingwu searched carefully all the way, and after about two minutes, he found a large number of men and horses, about 200,000 people, about 200,000 people from the southernmost part of Nanling Mansion, which should be the troops led by his uncle. Lingwu continued to advance in a southwesterly direction, and at the border there was another group of men and horses, about seventy or eighty thousand people, everyone was sleeping, only the sentries were whispering.

"They all sleep like dead men, so let us keep watch. It is said that there are brute beasts every day, where do you see one? ”

"yes, it's fucking scareless. I've been guarding it for two years, and I haven't seen a single hair from the brute. ”

In the nearby tent, several people who were supposed to be nobles were drinking, and the woman in her arms made exclamations from time to time. Although it was very quiet, Lingwu's spiritual sense could hear it clearly. Lingwu thought to himself, the people here are so calm, there shouldn't be any danger, right? Is it true that there are no brute beasts coming? Thinking of the news from his grandfather today, Lingwu decided to look west, and his spiritual sense went all the way to the west in an instant. Suddenly, Lingwu's hairs stood on end.

Just a hundred miles to the west of these sentinels, Lingwu spotted a lot of unidentified objects that were moving quickly, and they were still in twos and threes. Later, there were more and more, and then to the west, there were groups of people all over the mountains, at least no less than 100,000. It's definitely not human, because it's basically four-legged, and so many group actions are silent. A word popped up in Lingwu's mind: Brute Beast!

Lingwu had read the memoirs written by his grandfather and knew that this animal was a poisonous wolf among brute beasts, an extremely ferocious and agile beast. They are as big as buffaloes, as fast as lightning, move in packs, and have a ferocious temperament. The most terrible thing is that they don't know what the reason is in their mouths, as if they are poisonous, as long as they are bitten through the flesh, if they are not removed in time, they will cause people to go crazy and die, which is extremely terrifying. These brutes are very difficult to deal with, they are certainly not the most ferocious among the brutes, but they are definitely a nightmare for samurai. While the samurai were able to kill them, it was extremely difficult to survive their swift hordes of attacks. The most effective way to deal with them is a large-scale spiritual attack by the spirits, and their extremely weak and even almost crazy souls are like a thin piece of paper in front of the spirits, piercing them at a moment's notice.

The poisonous wolf quickly advanced to the northeast with brisk steps, and Lingwu's heart became heavier and heavier. It was only a hundred miles from the border they had just discovered, and at their speed, it would take a day at most. Uncle, these armies without spirits are no opponents at all. Lingwu shuddered at the thought of the battle between humans and poisonous wolves recorded by his grandfather, and the thought of the frenzied soldiers swinging their knives and slashing at their compatriots.

Lingwu quickly retreated to the border, and he wanted to say to the two sentinels, "Run!" But he couldn't say anything, just his heart beat faster and faster, and his breathing became more and more rapid. He came to the place where his uncle was stationed again, and the army was still asleep, calm and peaceful. Lingwu was in a hurry, and shouted loudly in his heart: "Uncle, run, the poisonous wolf is coming!" The poisonous wolf is coming! Seeing that his uncle's army was indifferent, Lingwu's own heart was beating faster and faster, so fast that he couldn't breathe.

What Lingwu didn't know was that due to his extreme emotional tension, the speed of the blood veins in his body had increased dramatically, and the speed at which the spiritual consciousness vortex was spinning was actually running at an even higher speed. The walnut-sized spiritual sphere rotates at such a high speed that the ball itself emits brighter red light, and the smaller it shrinks, the faster it spins. In less than half an hour, the speed of rotation reached more than ten times that of the original, and the speed of the ball contracted continued to increase. In the end, it shrank to the size of a soybean, and it no longer glowed, but turned black, like a bottomless pit, frantically absorbing the surrounding spiritual consciousness and the spiritual energy outside the body. Lingwu only felt that all the spiritual energy around him was sucked clean like a whirlwind in an instant, and the spiritual consciousness fluctuations that were emitted were completely sucked back, and he was like a person who was seriously deprived of oxygen, and he fell unconscious and fell to the ground after screaming.
