The sections of the road they walked in the previous four days were all flat, with no dense woods and undulating hills, so the robbers would not choose to ambush in such a place.

But at the beginning of the road, the terrain will become complicated, and many bandit groups will rely on the advantage of the terrain to ambush the caravan and horse.

There are many paths to choose from in front of you, which are all opened up by the mercenaries who come and go over the years, so many roads, which can be roughly divided into three types:

The first, in fact, is only one, which is the shortest distance and the best path to traverse the Cursed Lands.

The two largest bandit groups are stationed on this road, and those who dare to choose to follow this path often have strong strength.

Between these two bandit groups and the mercenaries, there is often only a small-scale fight. If the bandit loses, the mercenary team can cross the border, and if the mercenary team loses, leave a few heads, and by the way, leave all the supplies, especially the storage bags, and get out.

The second paths are those that have recently been opened. These roads tend to be a bit detouring, and the terrain is undulating and difficult to navigate. There are relatively few bandit groups that pay attention to these paths, and if you are lucky, you may be able to escape the robbers' ambush for the entire trip.

The third way is those that fall between the first two paths, large and small. There are several small bandits active among them, and if five mercenary teams pass together, there is no problem in terms of force, but these scattered bandits are guerrillas, and they must be on guard at all times when they are marching.

The captains of the five teams of mercenaries were all sitting around the campfire, and the other four passers-by were too deeply hidden, and Ye Qing was the only passer-by who participated in the discussion.

The captain of the black-armored mercenary team named Zhuo Jing, who was also a high-ranking martial artist with Wu Yuanshan, took off his helmet for the first time, but he didn't expect this person's face to look quite delicate.

"Let's choose the first path!" Zhuo Jing was indifferent a few days ago, but he didn't expect that at this time, he was the first to show his attitude, he wanted to choose the path to compete with two powerful bandit groups.

In addition to Wu Yuanshan, among the other three mercenary captains, one of the captains with ordinary cultivation and ordinary appearance said that he wanted to choose a cold road.

Wu Yuanshan looked hesitant, he wanted to wait for the other two mercenary captains who did not express their opinions to speak first.

"We want to choose the first path too!" finally the captain with the double axe on his back also expressed his attitude.

Wu Yuanshan's gaze was on the next team, and to his surprise, the somewhat oily captain said, "Let's choose the same path as you." ”

Wu Yuanshan was stunned for a moment, the team in the Qin Mu mercenary group wanted to follow him, and then his face smiled slightly unnaturally: "That's great, thanks to it, we have a lot of strength." ”

Wu Yuanshan turned to Ye Qing and said, "Miss Ye, which path do you think we should choose?"

Ye Qing said: "The first. ”

Wu Yuanshan nodded in approval and said, "I also have this intention!"

Ye Qing chuckled: "That's very good." ”

Early in the morning of the fifth day, the five teams of mercenaries marching together became four teams. The black-armored mercenary team volunteered to be at the forefront, and Wu Yuanshan's mercenary team was in second place.

Yongfu introduced the current situation beside Ye Qing: "Miss Ye, follow this road all the way, tomorrow we will come to a canyon, and there are organs on both sides of this canyon ambushed. ”

Ye Qing asked, "Why don't you go to the valley to break the mechanism?"

"The valley is extremely difficult to climb, it's hard to come down from the top and up from the bottom, unless you take another path from the previous days," Yongfu said. But this must go to the valley has long been dug with many traps, in comparison, the canyon is easier to walk. ”

Ye Qing knew that in this duel, the mercenaries had no choice but to occupy a disadvantage.

Yongfu continued: "It's usually boulders, arrows, and the like, but it's not the worst, but it's the worst thing that has poison or fire attached to it, and that's the most difficult thing to deal with. ”

Ye Qing said: "Do we have room to fight back?"

Yongfu shook his head: "No, you can only defend." ”

It was almost noon, and suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves ahead, and the five mercenary teams were immediately on alert.

After a while, a team of people appeared in everyone's sight.

The group was quite numerous, but they were wounded one after another, but the carriage they guarded in the middle was unharmed.

"Brother Song, why are you so embarrassed!" most of the mercenaries knew the captain of this team of mercenaries.

This Brother Song stopped his horse and said to the mercenaries who surrounded him: "The methods of these bandits have improved a lot, but our trip has consumed them a lot, you can quickly break through the canyon in front while they are not ready!"

When the four mercenary team captains heard this, their eyes lit up, the mechanism boulders in the canyon in front of them had been triggered, and it was difficult to completely set them up without a day or two, and this was a good time to pass!

Immediately, the four mercenaries marched at full speed and arrived at the entrance of the canyon before the sun set.

The black-armored mercenary team in front did not slack off at all, and took the lead into the canyon.

The sky was already dark, and the canyon was even darker, and the mercenaries ran forward as fast as they could.

Halfway through the trip, everyone heard a loud whistle. Immediately after that, there was a dense sound of breaking the sky, and countless arrows were shot from above the canyon.

In the black-armored mercenary team in front, someone shouted: "Speed up, their boulders are not ready, their arrows have not had time to quench the poison, and they can't penetrate our heavy armor!"

When the mercenaries behind heard the sound, their speed was a little faster.

Ye Qing also worked hard in the team, and he didn't have time to dodge the rain of arrows.

"Ye Daoyou, how is it, can you hold on?" Wu Yuanshan didn't know when, he fell from the front of the team to Ye Qing's side.

Ye Qing saw Wu Yuanshan's easy appearance, and a little coldness was born in his heart.

When Ye Qing was distracted, suddenly the horse she sat down neighed, and lifted her front hooves in pain, it turned out that the horse's eye was hit by an arrow!

Ye Qing was immediately flipped into the air, and the two guards on her side were barely able to maintain their speed, and there was still enough strength to take care of Ye Qing, and they were shocked for a while, and they didn't know what to do.

With a "whoosh", the long whip was thrown at Ye Qing, Ye Qing was caught by the long whip, and Wu Yuanshan was extremely fast.

Ye Qing was pulled back to his horse by Wu Yuanshan, and he held Ye Qing in front of him, and his speed did not decrease in the slightest.

Ye Qing silently put away the climbing hook claws under the armor, it seems that in the cursed land, the gap between himself and Wu Yuanshan is still not small. Wu Yuanshan probably also knew in his heart that Ye Qing could not be allowed to die here, and it would be difficult to retrieve the body if he died here.

Wu Yuanshan protected Ye Qing in front of him, leaned forward slightly, and protected Ye Qing in front of him, and the arrows fell on Wu Yuanshan's body, and Ye Qing's pressure was suddenly greatly reduced.

Wu Yuanshan's speed became faster and faster, and he returned to the front of his mercenary team, closely following the black-armored mercenary team in front.
