After listening to Huo Quai's order, Croce hurriedly asked people to act.

Because there were tens of thousands of troops and they were well-trained, it didn't take long for the soldiers to use dry branches and hay to quickly pile up a "firewood and grass wall" more than one zhang high and eight zhang wide, and this kind of "firewood and grass wall" composed of branches and hay was more than three miles long.

Croce added wormwood, resin, tung oil, etc. to this "firewood and grass wall".

When the qiē was ready, a row of red-clad soldiers stood out, all tall and stout, and, more unusually, each with a large eagle on his arm.

With a body the size of a calf and wings spread out to be more than a foot long, this eagle is extremely rare.

On the talons of each eagle hangs a special white ball, which is made of dried boar bladder, strong and lightweight, with dense holes under the white ball, which contains Croce's specially prepared fuel.

The formula of this fuel is top secret, it is their ancestral heirloom, no matter what it is, after sprinkling this fuel, as long as it encounters a little spark, it will ignite a raging fire, even if it is thrown into the water, it will not be extinguished.

Croce puts the fuel in the white ball and hangs it on the talons of the eagle, while the trained eagle will fly along the wind direction and at low altitude over the area to be burned, and scatter the fuel in the white ball evenly through the small hole at the bottom.

When the "firewood wall" of branches and hay on the periphery is ignited, the fuel will be quickly directed, and a terrible sea of fire can be formed in an instant, and every living creature in the sea of fire will not be able to escape, and even the soil will be scorched.

It is with this kind of fire attack, Croce had burned alive more than 10,000 Hun soldiers, this is an unprecedented victory for the Han army, and shook the entire government and the opposition, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was ecstatic after hearing the news, and specially named Croce as the "general of the cavalry", which also made the Huns greatly shocked, for this reason, the Huns also sent people to the Western Regions, to find this kind of people who understand the fuel formula, but in the end it was in vain.

Therefore, this Croce is Huo Quai's confidant and his killer weapon, and in the face of this extremely dangerous and unpredictable "Vine Valley", Croce's fire attack may be the only choice. Whether it is a real ghost or other monster in this "vine valley", this raging fire is their nemesis.

In the fire attack, the direction of the wind is the most important, and while the wind direction has not changed, Croce quickly ignited the "firewood wall" on the periphery after preparing a qiē. And the dozens of big eagles, with a whistle, flew low over the "vine valley" and evenly sprinkled the fuel in the white ball.

In this way, the wind borrowed the fire, the fire helped the wind, and the fuel on the vines was also ignited, and the entire vine valley became a sea of fire, which could be seen hundreds of miles away.

The fire burned for more than ten days, and all the vines were burned down.

These vines have grown for hundreds of years, and remain evergreen all year round, layered and very dense, so that the ground under the vines has never been exposed, so it is very wet, but after more than ten days of fire, not only is there more than two feet of vine ash on the ground, but the ground below is also scorched and turned into red soil.

Perhaps it was a beautiful day, but as soon as the fire was extinguished, it rained heavily.

After the rain had passed, Huo Qubing ordered the army to enter the "Valley of Vines".

At this time, no other ghosts and monsters were seen except ashes and scorched earth, and from then on, the mysterious "Valley of Vines" disappeared forever, leaving only a fertile wasteland, and no one ever disappeared there.

The surrounding people also gradually came here to cultivate the wasteland, and the "vine valley" soon became fertile and fertile land. As for why so many people disappeared in the "Valley of the Vines", it became an eternal secret, as if all the truth had disappeared with the fire.

Although this hidden danger was eliminated, Huo Quzhi and Croce were also rewarded by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but Huo Quzhi has always wanted to find out the real secret of this "Vine Valley" - what kind of monster is it that has mutilate so many people?

Coincidentally, four or five years after the burning of the "Vine Valley", Huo Qubing became acquainted with a descendant of the Mohist school, this person is called Hou Di, who has won the essence of the Mohist school, is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and knows all kinds of strange arts.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was keen on cultivating the Tao and becoming an immortal, so there were many monks around him, one of whom was called Luan Da, who was most favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even married his daughter Princess Wei Chang to him.

But Hou Di debunked the tricks of these alchemists one by one, so that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly realized that he had been fooled, and these alchemists were also punished, and Luan Da was also exterminated, which was considered deserved.

Therefore, Huo Quzhi admired Hou Di very much, so he told Hou Di all the mysteries and weirdness about the "Vine Valley", and asked Hou Di what was going on.

After listening to Huo Quzhi's story, Hou Di just smiled slightly, saying that it was not difficult to solve these mysteries, as long as Huo Qubing went to the "Vine Valley" with him again.

Huo Quzhi saw that he was so sure that he knew that he had asked the right person, so he readily agreed to Hou Di.

It happened to be spring, and there was not a single vine left in the "vine valley", only black and purple fertile soil.

Hou Di walked around the "vine valley", and finally chose the lowest place for the accompanying soldiers to dig down.

When digging more than two feet deep, Hou Di asked the soldiers to stop, and then poured a jar of blood into the digging pit, and when everyone was surprised, suddenly, from the pool of blood in the pit, slowly grew a vine, and this vine saw that it was growing up, and the people around were shocked, because no one had ever seen such a fast vine.

Hou Di still didn't explain much, only let people throw a few rabbits into the pit, when the rabbit just fell into the pit, the vine suddenly wrapped the rabbit tightly, and the tighter and tighter, no matter how the rabbit struggled, it was useless, and the rabbit was wrapped until the skin was open and the flesh was blurred.

The people around him looked stupid, including Huo Quai.

Hou Di pointed to the pit and smiled at Huo Quzhi and said, "Doesn't the general want to know how those people disappeared?" That's how they disappeared. ”

"I see, I didn't expect these vines to eat people," Huo Quzhi said in surprise.

"In fact, this is not a vine, but a kind of monster that grows on the vine, called the 'vine demon', the appearance is very much like a vine, the original 'vine valley', there are countless such 'vine demons', once people enter it, they will quickly be entangled by this 'vine demon', and this 'vine demon' likes human flesh and blood very much, it will multiply faster after absorbing human flesh and blood", Hou Di further explained.

It turns out that this kind of 'vine demon' has extremely strong vitality, and when it encounters a fire, they will go underground and can sleep underground for more than ten years, as long as there are vines on it, they will immediately drill out again.

Although the fire burned most of the "vine demons", it was inevitable that there would be "fish that slipped through the net", and they went into the ground in time before the fire came, so that they were not burned to death by the fire.

However, thanks to the complete burning of this fire, all the branches, leaves, roots, and seeds of the vines were burned to death, so that the vines could no longer germinate, so that the 'vine demons' had no chance to return to the ground.

Since then, the 'vine demon' has never appeared in the historical record, as if it has long been extinct, but I never expected that on the edge of the cliff in the middle of the night, the "vine demon" would appear again.

When the madman six finished speaking, we were all silent, and one question after another quickly flashed through my mind - why did the "vine demon" appear here? What is the relationship between the "vine demon" and the tall blind man? What kind of mystery is there on the edge of this cliff?

Madman Six took out the leaf again, and when he looked closely, he suddenly muttered, "I seem to know what's going on." Although his voice was not loud, we were all shocked, and immediately leaned over to look at the leaf in the hand of the madman Six.

In the light of the flashlight, the leaf was still the same as when we first saw it—slender as a bamboo leaf, as thin as a cicada's wing, and redder than a maple leaf, but other than that, there was nothing special about it.

"Did you find anything?" The Japanese female translator asked the madman six softly.

Madman Six didn't answer immediately, but gently poked the leaf with his fingernail, oozing red juice from the place where the leaf had been punctured. "What does this smell like?"

We took turns approaching the leaf with our noses, and strangely enough, we smelled blood!

"The sap of a plant would smell bloody," I can't help but say.

Hearing me say this, the madman smiled slightly and said leisurely: "Actually, this is not a leaf at all, but an organ on the body of the 'vine demon'. ”

Yes?! An organ in the body of the "vine demon"? Hearing Maniac Six say this, we were all taken aback.

I touched the leaf with my hand and felt its texture carefully, and sure enough, it didn't feel as crisp and soft as a leaf, but more like a thin piece of flesh - very elastic and tough.

"Have you noticed, the 'amphibious' monster just now, when he touched down the edge of the cliff with his tentacles, he found a piece of such a 'leaf', which means that the 'vine demon' just now is likely to be hiding on the edge of the cliff, and that 'leaf' was picked from the 'vine demon'."

The speculation of the madman six is very reasonable, and we all sound scared - the legendary 'vine demon' is so fierce and terrifying, just now that we are just a stone's throw away.

The madman continued with a pensive face: "That 'amphibious man' may not have fallen off the cliff at all, but was entangled by the 'vine demon', so where did it go?" It is very likely that there was a hole in the cliff wall, and the 'amphibian' was entangled in the hole, and in addition, since the 'amphibious' climbed this way, it means that the tall blind man must be here. ”

Crazy Six's words made all of our hearts beat wildly. If that's the case, we've determined the location of the tall blind man.

But what we didn't expect was that the entrance to the cave where the tall blind man was hiding was actually on the cliff! Not only that, but near the entrance of the cave, there was a terrible "vine demon".

Grandma drop, why is this high blind man so difficult? Each hiding place is full of traps, and each of them is weirder and more terrifying.

Now we are faced with two choices: although we have found the hiding place of the madman six, there is no way to enter it, so we can only return in vain; The other is to brave the hardships and find a way to enter the hole in the cliff.

But is it possible to enter the hole in such a situation?
