In the silent night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and a black-clothed team of more than 100 people was rushing from Qinghe County to Heluo City, they had been traveling in a hurry for two days and one night, except for a short rest and food on the way, the rest of the time was to keep hurrying.

Chen Qi is the captain of this small branch, he is now in his early forties, at the peak of his life, as the full length of this team, he is also one of the small leaders of the old Chen family, and he probably knows what kind of plans the family is making now. He fully agrees with this decision of his family.

Although he is not the bloodline of the family, as long as the family is powerful, they can still ascend to heaven as a family member or an outsider. Life in the world, busy and busy, nothing more than fame, fortune and power, now a great opportunity to the sky is in front of us, how can you not seize it. As soon as he thought of the happy days after the fact, Chen Qizheng couldn't sleep with excitement.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Although the team members are already very tired, Chen Qizheng understands that now is the time to rush for time.

He knew that there were at least twenty or more teams like himself that were rushing from the surrounding cities to Heluo City, and they were only one of them. However, he believes that as long as he can rush to Heluo City in advance, it will be a great achievement, and when he is rewarded for his meritorious deeds in the future, he will definitely be mentioned, although he does not dare to say that he stands on top of the temple, but there should be no problem with mixing four or five military attachés.

After another half an hour of running, it is now very close to Heluo City, and if you rush to it, there will be more than an hour to go. But the more at this time, the calmer Chen Qizheng became. Now the situation in Heluo City is unknown, if you rush in. In case of a situation, and they are tired, there will definitely be trouble. It's better to rest for a while before going in.

The team was ordered to stop in the woods, first carved out several open spaces nearby, and then lit several bonfires. Although there is a danger of revealing your tracks, it is already early winter at this time, and the city of Heluo is located in the north, and the nights are very cold. Do not light a fire when resting in the forest. It won't be long before at least half of the staff is reduced.

Moreover, the light of the fire can deter the hungry nocturnal beasts of winter, compared to the possibility of being spotted by the enemy. The effect of starting a fire on a cold winter night is too great. However, Chen Qizheng still sent a few shrewd team members to the periphery to guard the periphery, and at the same time arranged replacement team members.

In winter, there is a lot of dry firewood in the woods, and if you pick up some nearby, you can burn it for a long time.

Unlike Xiyi, there are fewer crystal pillars here in the Aurora Kingdom. But it's a lot bigger. Those huge crystal pillars would not have been able to get close. If a non-master enters the light range of the crystal pillar, he will have a nosebleed in less than a quarter of an hour, and if he stops for another quarter of an hour, he will probably not be able to get out.

Therefore, the people of the Aurora Kingdom did not consider using the crystal pillar to keep warm at night.

Piles of fires burned, and a dozen or so people sat or lay around the fire. Chen Qi is the captain of the team, and his strength is naturally the strongest in the team. He wasn't tired. Anyway, the spirit is a little strong.

There was a cooing of night owls in the woods, and every now and then a pair of green eyes wandered in the darkness nearby. Then it suddenly disappears again. Chen Qizheng exhaled a cold mist, and couldn't help but smile a little, he seemed to see a better life in the future on the fire, he wore an official hat on his head and wore an official uniform, his wife and children got an excellent life because of this, and Mo'er's cerebral dementia should have enough money to treat it by then.

As he thought about it, he was a little distracted. Before you knew it, a long time had passed, and the woods had become more silent, and the ugly cooing of the night owls had disappeared, and the green eyes had not come out for a short time.

It's so quiet! Chen Qizheng yawned, at this time the team members were in a semi-sleepy state, as long as it took another two hours, they could get an excellent rest, and then they marched quickly, and they would definitely be the first to reach Heluo City.

Chen Qizheng squinted, and when he was about to fall asleep, his heart moved, and then the cold couldn't stop rising from the bottom of his heart. Something isn't quite right, it's too quiet here, it's not the right thing.

"Get up, get up, give me up." Chen Qizheng snorted a few times.

Some of the alert team members immediately rolled over and half-crouched on the ground, pressing the ground with one hand and holding their weapons in the other. Others with poor alertness rubbed their eyes and muttered to stand up, and the mutation appeared at this time.

A buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the woods in front of him, and the cold hairs on Chen Qizheng's body stood up, this sound was too familiar to him, it was the sound of the bowstring vibrating. He didn't think about it, he immediately lay on the ground, and then rolled sharply, turning out of the range of the firelight, and those alert team members made almost the same movements as him.

Just as they rolled out of the firelight, a pitch-black feathered arrow rained down on several fires.

The screams rang out almost at the same time, and half of the less alert team members were nailed to the ground by arrows, while some barely avoided the vital point, and although they were not fatal, they at least lost their ability to fight.

Chen Qi was rolling up, hiding behind a big tree, the moment he got up, he saw the situation in the field clearly, there were thirteen team members who were not saved, and more than 20 team members were seriously injured, and several lightly injured teammates were rolling and crawling out of the range of the fire.

Nearly forty percent of the staff was reduced at once! Chen Qizheng's face became quite ugly.

What is the identity of the enemy, they actually touched it so closely, they didn't find it at all, and the few team members who were sent out to be in charge of vigilance all grew up eating?

However, at this time, the situation did not allow Chen Qizheng to think too much, and he shouted: "Those who know the power of the water elemental should quickly extinguish the fire." ”

All the fires were extinguished in a few water columns, but the second wave of arrows flew over again, and although the Chen family's team had been prepared this time, there were still three people who were killed by arrows.

All the fires were extinguished, the woods were dark again, the tall evergreen leaves obscured most of the moonlight, and now everyone in the trees was in a situation of extremely poor vision, not even more than two meters in range.

There was no sound in the forest except for the moaning wounded. Chen Qizheng didn't dare to move, there were a lot of broken small dead branches in the enemy's woods, as long as he took a casual step, he would definitely pick one or two, and the sound of broken branches was definitely not obvious in the daytime, but in such a quiet environment, in such a critical situation, it was possible to get a life talisman for himself if he made a little sound.

What now? Chen Qi was breathing softly, trying not to make a sound.

For he felt that the enemy was already surrounded, and from time to time there was the sound of dead branches breaking in front of him.

Are you going to eat us? rushed up so boldly, Chen Qizheng squinted his eyes, grabbed his right hand upward, grabbed the branch leaning against the big tree, and then gently swung it and silently reached the tree. (To be continued......)
