Chapter 12: The Raided Mutant Beast
Now that there is no clean water source, the Imperial military camp is suddenly in chaos. As soon as the morning came, it was even more noisy, and there was no water, not only drinking became a problem, but even cooking was not possible. Although he had prepared dry food with him, the more he ate it, the more thirsty he became, and now he was complaining and his morale was greatly reduced.
When Chu Xiaofei saw this scene, he was in a hurry, how could such an army still be taken out to fight?
No, the horn blew outside, and the soldiers of Arashijo had already stepped out of the city gate and attacked. Chu Xiaofei didn't care about the morale of the army now, and hastily responded to the battle.
Although the loss of Lancheng in this battle was not small, it was nothing if it intersected on the side of the empire.
After this battle, almost all the soldiers in the first formation on the side of the imperial soldiers were killed, and the second formation also suffered heavy losses, but fortunately, the third formation was all soldiers with high cultivation and strong self-protection ability, so there was no loss.
Both sides were temporarily energized, and they had to truce for three days.
Looking at Chu Xiaofei, who was anxious in the camp tent, Yi Zhuo hurriedly went up to persuade him, and said, "General Chu, don't worry, now we have to stabilize the morale of the army, even if you mess up, the imperial soldiers will be defeated." ”
Chu Xiaofei also understood, but he was also helpless, knowing that the biggest problem now was the lack of drinking water, digging a few wells, but he couldn't solve the water supply of the entire barracks, and the wells were close to drying up. The upper reaches were blocked, there was a lot of water, but there were heavy troops, and several attacks were resisted.
Chu Xiaofei now had to beg the heavens to rain a little, so that he could rely on the rain to boost his morale. However, it has been cloudless for a few days, and the rain is also very small.
"Brother Yi Zhuo, what do you say I should do!" Chu Xiaofei asked anxiously.
Yi Zhuo thought about it, suddenly shouted and thought of it, and then laughed: "The water in this main river is gone, so let's go to the tributaries to find it?"
Listening to Yi Zhuo's words, Chu Xiaofei looked at Yi Zhuo with some urgency, as if Yi Zhuo was shining light at the moment, like a savior.
Yi Zhuo led Chu Xiaofei and a group of soldiers to a mountain forest, where there was a cave, and water was flowing out of it.
It turned out that this place was the outlet of the dark river that Yi Zhuo and Mu Rong used when they escaped from the mountains and forests, and outside this exit was a small stream.
Seeing this endless source of water, Chu Xiaofei was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran to the creek and knelt down, picked up a large handful of water, and drank it in a big gulp.
"Ahh Chu Xiaofei said with a look of enjoyment, and the soldiers on the side swallowed their saliva.
Chu Xiaofei looked at everyone's expressions of wanting to drink water, couldn't help laughing, and beckoned to all the soldiers: "You all want to drink, why are you still stunned, hurry up and drink." ”
Hearing Chu Xiaofei say this, the soldiers hurriedly threw away their armor and rushed to the stream to drink.
"Alas, Brother Yi Zhuo, I was also born in Lancheng, I don't even know such a place, how do you know?" Chu Xiaofei approached Yi Zhuo and asked.
"This is the dark river passage we used in order to escape Zhang Lie's pursuit, which leads all the way to the top of the mountain, which we only knew under the leadership of Mu Yan's predecessors. Yi Zhuo explained.
When Chu Xiaofei heard this, he looked thoughtful, and couldn't help muttering: "This piece, I remember that it is strictly forbidden to step in, so it is not surprising that only Mu Rong's uncle knows, but isn't Mu Rong's uncle already dead?"
Yi Zhuo seemed to hear what Chu Xiaofei was talking about, and couldn't help asking, but Chu Xiaofei came back to his senses and hurriedly said that it was nothing.
Then everyone fetched a lot of water, and the horses and camels carried a lot of it.
Not long after the army left, a mysterious man came to the stream, looked at the army that was gradually moving away, and couldn't help but release a cold light in his eyes, and said coldly: "What a boldness, I dare to break into Zemu Mountain to get water, I am really impatient." ”
As soon as the words fell, two cheetah-like monsters leaped out of the mountain and roared towards the Imperial military camp.
At this moment, the barracks did not know that danger was coming, and they were immersed in the pleasure of having a water source, until several tents were overturned, and there were bursts of screams, and then they ran out and kept the cheetah, but they didn't look like it when they looked closely.
Seeing the little cheetah-like monster, the guard who captured Yi Zhuo that night came over and couldn't help but shout: "What's the matter, there are mutant beasts in this kind of place!"
As soon as the guard's voice fell, the mutant beast suddenly roared wildly, becoming more than ten meters tall, which is just like its name - the mutant beast can manipulate the size of its body at will, the largest can be ten meters tall like now, and the smallest can shrink like a mosquito.
"It's rare to hear of such a strange beast in the entire Dragon Continent, but it's very strange that it appeared here today. At this time, Yi Zhuo walked over and said slowly.
"Ironwood, as my royal guard, this mutant beast will be handed over to you. Chu Xiaofei also walked out of the camp, and the iron wood in his mouth was the guard who recognized the mutant beast at a glance.
Temu nodded, then drew his sword and rushed forward.
Don't look at Tiemu's body is very thin, but he is still lean, and he is quite tall. The moment he pulled out the long sword, it was also a constant wind, his true qi was exposed, and the people on the agitated side retreated again and again.
Tie Mu shouted, swung his sword in the air, and the exposed true qi condensed into an invisible giant blade, slashing towards the mutant beast, but unexpectedly, the mutant beast suddenly disappeared, and the giant blade also hit the open space in front of him, and the ground cracked in an instant, and the yellow sand rose everywhere.
"Beware! Yi Zhuo reminded on the side.
"Nonsense! I know!" Temu didn't seem to like being disturbed during the battle, so he immediately slammed back, making Yi Zhuo look embarrassed.
Because the mutant beast can become so small that it can't even be seen with the naked eye, Tiemu has to look around, for fear that the mutant beast will come out of nowhere.
As he was looking, a bloody mouth rushed over, about to devour the ironwood. Fortunately, Temu reacted quickly and jumped to avoid the bite of the mutant beast.
This mutant beast can be big or small, and just now the mutant beast suddenly changed from small to big, which caught people off guard. Tiemu, who had just escaped from the line of death, was now covered with sweat on his forehead, and his heartbeat instantly increased a lot.
"Tiemu, do you need help? Chu Xiaofei was very worried about Tiemu, so he asked Tiemu.
Tie Mu's face did not change, and replied to Chu Xiaofei: "General, I'm afraid you forgot again, I don't like to be disturbed when I fight." ”
After the conversation, Temu plunged the sword into the ground, and then broke his two hands, and the sword on the ground split in two. It turns out that Ironwood's sword has a device that can lock two swords together, and it seems that Ironwood is about to use his true skills.
Tiemu ran with a long sword in one hand, and the mutant beast also ran towards Tiemu. As soon as Temu went down, the mutant beast became smaller, and when it grabbed the gap, it suddenly became larger and attacked. In order to be able to attack the mutant beast, Ironwood's attack became faster and faster, and after a while, the mutant beast was almost unable to parry.
But at this moment, suddenly two large mouths of blood basins appeared at the same time, and they were about to wrap the ironwood. Seeing this, the people on the side were immediately surprised: "There are actually two mutant beasts!"
Scratch!
Tiemu pulled out a cyan giant blade, directly slashing the mutant beast from behind, and then spun it up, like a windmill, and fell back on the body of the mutant beast in front of it, rolling continuously, pulling out bursts of plasma gushing out!
Immediately, Tiemu locked the double swords, put them away, and quickly made a set of movements, and the two mutant beasts fell.
"I said, don't bother me while I'm fighting!"
