Chapter Forty-Six: Yamanuchi Castle No. 5: The Magma River
"Let's put things in place and go back!"
How could Li Pingnan, who had experienced a counterinsurgency war, not see the current mood of these cavalrymen? The three squads that entered this cave, plus himself and two other small mercenaries with a total of 33 people, had only experienced two encounters, and had already killed 8 people, seriously injured 5 people, and slightly injured 4 people, with a total of 17 casualties, which was already half of the entire team.
And this is just the beginning, and I really can't be sure what difficulties are waiting for me in the future.
"Don't abandon, don't give up!" There is a premise, that is, on the premise that there will be no more unnecessary casualties, otherwise in order to save three cavalrymen who do not know life and death, more than 30 people will die unexpectedly?
So Lipingnan decided to get out of this cave.
"No! Liu Kaishan hasn't come back yet!" Lu Hongfu, with the help of the cavalry, had already bandaged the eye-catching cut on his body, and even so, the blood was still soaked in the bandage.
Hearing Li Pingnan's order, Lu Hongfu, who had a stubborn personality, was the first to object. Liu Kaishan is one of the 3 cavalrymen they want to rescue, a little older than Lu Hongfu, it was Liu Kaishan who found Lu Hongfu fainting on the snow, and rescued Lu Hongfu, and at that time Liu Kaishan was still a teenager and worked in the army.
Later, Lu Hongfu also followed Liu Kaishan to fight in the army, and it can be said that Liu Kaishan is Lu Hongfu's life-saving benefactor and Lu Hongfu's master.
"You!" Li Pingnan stared at Lu Hongfu who was flushed with some anger, not knowing what to say, but he also understood the relationship between Lu Hongfu and Liu Kaishan in his heart. After hesitating, he had no choice but to speak: "It is very likely that Liu Kaishan and the others are dead!"
What Li Pingnan expected was also the thoughts of most of the cavalry, half of them had already been lost before more than 30 people walked here, not to mention how much ability their 3 cavalry could have?
"I want to see people when I am alive, I want to see corpses when I die!" Lu Hongfu said through gritted teeth, stood up with his sword, and walked towards the cave farther away.
"Listen to my teammates, if you want to go with Lao Tzu, come here, and if you don't want to go, go back!" The team led by Lu Hongfu actually suffered the most serious casualties, and I am afraid that there are only 3 people left who can continue to fight except for Lu Hongfu.
Two people stood up, glanced at Li Pingnan, and followed behind Lu Hongfu silently, leaving Xu Fei alone to sit in place at a loss, looking around.
Xu Fei was really afraid, he didn't want to take another step, just after hearing Li Pingnan's return order, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he didn't expect Lu Hongfu to go privately again.
When Xu Fei panicked and trembled and wanted to stand up, he was pressed down again by Li Pingnan.
"Xu Fei! take everyone out!" Li Pingnan calmly ordered, that kind of condescending posture and tone, Xu Fei didn't have the slightest sense of resistance at all, so he could only nod his head again and again.
"The third squad! Captain Lu Hongfu did not listen to the order and engaged in it privately! Today, the post of squad leader was cut off! Xu Fei immediately assumed the post of captain of the third squad, and returned the same way with everyone! I will go and arrest those who violated the military order as a punishment!" Li Pingnan gave an order to the cavalry, who could not see such a flawed order, just when several cavalrymen were about to raise objections, they were glared back by a sharp look from Li Pingnan.
Li Pingnan whispered to Xu Fei who was wooden: "Now these people, all those who have a tone will be brought out for me, and you won't live if there is one less person!" Such a threatening tone made Xu Fei's heart chill.
"So, then, what about the dead ones?" asked Xu Fei in a lost voice.
"Hehe!" Li Pingnan didn't answer directly, just smiled: "You look at it!" After speaking, he strode after Lu Hongfu.
Li Xiangfeng has not experienced this kind of life and death parting, it can be said that since he entered the mercenary
Those who are in the profession have already developed a close relationship with life and death. Today is either watching your companion die, or your companion watching you die.
But Li Xiangfeng still had a little sadness, their line of more than 30 search and rescue personnel, before they saw Liu Kaishan and other cavalry, more than half of them had been killed or wounded, the only 2 chaplains in the army had lost any ability to assist, and the cavalry were also wounded large and small, so the price made Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan, two humans from the Great Wall of Ice and who were resisted by the alien races living in the northern ice field, also bowed their heads.
Could it be that the protection of the Xuanwu Shield is so powerful? Li Xiangfeng couldn't help but worry in his heart, how many casualties there were ahead of him was really incalculable.
Li Pingnan's plan is not wrong, according to the current situation, it seems that it is no longer suitable for the cavalry to adventure in groups, only to form a strong adventurous team, go deep into the cave to investigate the situation, and maybe save Liu Kaishan, the three cavalry.
Perhaps it is more likely that the corpses of these three cavalrymen have been found!
Li Pingnan actually really planned to order the cavalry to return the same way, such a cave adventure and unknown object encounter was not suitable for the cavalry trained by their army, they were warriors galloping on the battlefield, but in such an environment, they were tied hands and feet and did not even have half of the combat power of the past.
How can this successfully get out of here? Only mercenaries who often beg for a living in this environment are qualified to wander here, and Li Pingnan naturally thought of Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan, two mercenaries who came from the south.
Li Xiangfeng, who was pondering the Xuanwu Shield, was woken up by Li Pingnan, who passed by.
"Two brothers, help us get through this hurdle, and we will be grateful when we go back!" Li Pingnan said sincerely with his fists, now the only way to let these two mercenaries continue to help, Lu Hongfu left with 2 cavalrymen, and Li Pingnan had to take care of this matter.
As soon as Li Xiangfeng entered this cave, he thought of the scene described by the dwarf magister, which was exactly the same as the cave where the dwarf shield was hidden, and after repeated observations, Li Xiangfeng could be sure that this must be the hiding place of the Xuanwu shield described by the dwarf magister.
Therefore, Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan followed Li Pingnan and other cavalry to rush into the cave.
Li Xiangfeng came back to his senses, looked at Li Pingnan, who was saluting him, and hugged his fists and said: "Captain Li, I'm very sorry!
"Okay! I, Li Pingnan, will definitely thank you!" Li Pingnan smiled a little happily, walked forward without looking back, and stopped Dongfang Zhengzhen the moment he rubbed his body with Dongfang Zhengzhen.
"Hey, captain, captain, I'm going back too....!" Dongfang Zhengzhen couldn't break free from Li Pingnan's embrace full of male strength, and was taken captive by Li Pingnan.
Zhuge Qing on the side nodded to the magicians not far away and joined the adventure team.
Later, Li Xiangfeng looked at Yu Yan with a somewhat ashamed expression.
"This is your decision, and it has nothing to do with me!" Yu Yan walked forward with a gloomy face!
This is Li Xiangfeng's decision to hide the secret of the existence of this cave, and let Li Pingnan rashly enter the cave with the cavalry, and it is also Li Xiangfeng who followed Li Pingnan and other cavalry into the cave with other purposes, and now there are such heavy casualties, which has nothing to do with him, naturally Yu Yan will not show any shame or shame.
Because he threw all the burden to Li Xiangfeng, Yu Yan suddenly felt enlightened and hurriedly walked forward.
With the departure of Li Xiangfeng, the 8-member group composed of Li Xiangfeng, Yu Yan, Li Pingnan, Dongfang Zhengzhen, Zhuge Qing, Lu Hongfu and others embarked on the journey again.
Continue to walk along the cave, the cave is sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, sometimes high and sometimes low, and it is dark and dark in circles.
"We seem to be heading down the mountain!" After being in the dark cave for so long, who could still tell the direction and the front and back, but Yu Yan felt that his group had been walking down the mountain along the cave, like this cave
It's like a tunnel, all the way down.
"That's true, I don't know where it will take us!" Li Xiangfeng led the way in front with the Suzaku held high, and behind him were Lu Hongfu, Li Pingnan, Zhuge Qing, Dongfang Zhengzhen and the 2 cavalry in Lu Hongfu's team, and Yu Yan was the last to be in charge.
Such a formation was specially arranged by Li Xiangji, and their group caught up with Lu Hongfu, and after Li Pingnan pacified Lu Hongfu, he handed over the command of the operation to Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan, two foreign mercenaries.
If it comes to marching and fighting, Li Pingnan really hasn't served a few people, but when he arrived here, Li Pingnan found that his set of methods of marching and fighting are not so easy here, maybe it is the best policy to temporarily hand over the command of the operation to these two mercenaries, at least they are familiar with this business.
Li Xiangfeng did not shirk the slightest, and went straight to the command, which made Lu Hongfu feel dissatisfied, and even Zhuge Qing, who had never asked about such things, asked Li Pingnan again and again.
It was Dongfang Zhengzhi who was even more impressed by Li Xiangfeng.
"You can teach!" Dongfang Zhengzhen patted Li Xiangfeng's shoulder and said with a smile full of other meanings.
"Everyone, pay attention! There is an abnormality ahead!" Suddenly feeling a gust of hot wind blowing, Li Xiangfeng reminded everyone.
There was a downhill section ahead, and the cave floor was piled up with all kinds of stones, and it was not far from the front that there were more and more stones, and finally the whole ground was completely piled up with stones, and everyone stepped on it to make a noise.
After continuing to move forward for hundreds of meters, the hot wind could already be clearly felt, and sweat was gradually oozing from the foreheads of everyone wearing heavy cotton clothes.
Such a temperature is really rare in this weather.
"Ah~ Liu Kaishan save me!" Just as everyone was puzzled by the bad situation here, a frightened cry suddenly came from the front.
When Lu Hongfu heard this, he immediately sped up and rushed forward, but Li Xiangfeng shouted behind him, and Lu Hongfu ran over without looking back.
"Hurry!" Since this is the case, Li Xiangfeng can only lead the team to speed up the pace of approaching.
In a moment, the adventurers' breathing began to become rapid, the air gradually became hot, and everyone began to take off their clothes while sweating profusely.
Everyone took off their heavy clothes and put them in their enchantment bags, and almost all of them were left with thin clothes.
Even so, the hot air continued to heat up, and it was already unbearable, and my eyes were soaked with sweat from time to time, and one side of my eyes was blurry, and the stones under my feet seemed to be scorched, and the sweat drops on it were instantly evaporated, and a burst of steam floated up.
When a red light appeared in the front, everyone knew that they were about to come to an end.
The fiery red light was extremely dazzling, the hot air was almost suffocating, and the fiery red magma slowly flowed in the endless cavern.
This is a huge and empty cave in the mountain, the whole cave is fiery red, and the hot magma gathers into a rushing river to flow in the right direction of everyone, and the magma that hits the stones splashes a fiery red wave.
In front of everyone on the left, Lu Hongfu and a cavalryman hugged each other deeply, and the cavalryman seemed to be even more excited, and he was talking about something.
"Liu Kaishan, what's going on!" Li Pingnan walked straight to Lu Hongfu, his eyes looked directly at Liu Kaishan, who was hugging Lu Hongfu, and asked.
Seeing Li Pingnan coming, Liu Kaishan separated from Lu Hongfu, his face was pale, sweat kept flowing down his forehead, and he said hurriedly: "Captain Li, it's useless!" Liu Kaishan said with a crying voice, tears coming out of his eyes.
"Xiao Zhang and Datian have all been swallowed into this magma by the monsters below!" Liu Kaishan said as his fingers trembled, pointing to the hot magma underneath.
