Chapter 64: Ancient Legends (4)

The weather has been sunny for the 10 days that the expeditionary force has been on the tree, and there has been no ghost weather such as heavy rain or wind. The vanguard troops a thousand meters above kept signaling with wolf smoke to signal that there was security ahead.

What's more, there are fairy-like figures like Yao in the rear army. Even if there is any wind and grass, he will definitely be able to make a decisive decision to destroy the enemy in an instant.

The turning point came on the eleventh day after the tree was climbed.

One day, three wolf smokes suddenly came out of the front part, two long and one short. The meaning of this wolf smoke is that there is a change in the front, and the middle and rear armies stop climbing.

When the Chinese army saw it, they had to follow the original plan, stop climbing, and wait for the front army to investigate clearly. It's just that everyone can't help but talk about it, under the sword fingers of the 3,000-strong army, what accidents can happen ahead?

They stayed for two days and one night, and in the evening there was still no new signal. However, some soldiers of the front army crawled down and retreated. Many of them were seriously wounded and needed medical treatment from the Chinese army, and some soldiers had already died in battle.

The battle situation in front has been written into a secret report and sent to Yao, who is sitting in the rear army. The vast majority of the Chinese army are just ordinary soldiers and other professions, and no one knows exactly what is happening ahead. An unsettling aura permeated the crowd.

Some of the Chinese soldiers chatted with the wounded soldiers who had retreated from the front army, and from the conversation they learned that a thousand meters above suddenly appeared many four-clawed beasts that looked like wolves but not wolves, and they clinged to the giant trees, coming and going like the wind, and moving quickly. The front army had already scattered these wolf beasts, and many people were wounded. But there was no guarantee that these strange beasts would not be encountered in the trees in the future, so he paused.

However, according to the grapevine, when a soldier in the former army killed a wolf beast, it happened that the beast was wearing a purple jade ring on its claws.

And this purple jade ring is the ancestral treasure of the soldier's family, which was passed on to the eldest son in the family fifteen years ago, that is, the soldier's brother. This jade ring is in the sky and on the ground, and this one is the only one, and it will never admit mistakes.

And his brother was one of the expeditionary forces that disappeared into the sky after climbing the tree a year ago.

Could it be ...... This wolf beast ......

Uneasy rumors run rampant among the army in the trees. All kinds of rumors are getting more and more outrageous. Some people say that before the wolf beast was killed, it actually showed a sad gaze like a human. Some people say that some wolf beasts actually played a set of Xingyi Fist in the vicious battle with the former army, and in the First Expeditionary Army, there are many disciples of Xingyi Sect. Some people even directly suspect that these monsters are the ones who have disappeared from the First Expeditionary Force......

For a time, the wind was rising, and everyone was in danger.

The Chinese army stayed until the 15th. On the sixteenth day, an old man sat in a hanging basket and was slowly pulled from the rear army to the height where the Chinese army was located.

It turned out to be the legendary Yao, who was going to personally sit in the Chinese army and command the front-line battle.

Yao's appearance foreshadowed the determination of the Giant Tree God Cult to reach the top of the tree, and also gave the three armies a shot in the arm. At this time, a military report came from the front army that those strange wolf beasts had been cleaned up, and the three armies could immediately pull out the camp and continue to advance.

The corpses of the wolf beasts that were killed, no more, no less, exactly two thousand.

On the 17th, after a four-day pause at this height, the three armies finally continued to climb upward. Among these many people, of course, is also the mother of the three heads.

After the wolf beast was eliminated, the next journey was also very peaceful, and occasionally strange creatures fought a little, and they were quickly wiped out by the front army.

Many soldiers cut the corpses of the slain beasts into strips of meat, roasted them and ate them, and found that they were unexpectedly delicious. Along the way, the former army also killed more than 3,000 fierce beasts on the trees, and this unexpected discovery greatly saved the army's food.

On the 27th, it rained heavily. The three armies had to stop their advance again. A serious collapse accident occurred on the tree wall, and nearly 1,000 people from the front and Chinese troops fell into the abyss, and countless supplies also fell to the bottom. Heavy losses cast another ominous shadow over this new expeditionary force.

And if everything before was just an appetizer, then the turning point that really changed the fate of this expeditionary force, the fate of tens of thousands of soldiers, including the three-headed mother and the three-headed one, happened on the 30th.

The continuous rain finally began to diminish after three days of raging in the Giant Tree World. Just when the officers and men of the Chinese army were talking about it, thinking that the whole army was about to pull out of the camp and go up, suddenly, they saw five wolf smoke burning from the front army one thousand meters above.

Wolf smoke, even in the midst of heavy rain, still travels far away.

And the five wolf smokes, that is the highest alert in the expeditionary force. It symbolizes that the front army has encountered an absolutely unimaginable danger of manpower, and requires all the sergeants below to immediately abandon everything, down the tree, down the tree, down the tree!

At the moment when the Chinese army and the rear army had not yet reacted from the shock, something even more terrible happened!

In the black sky covered with dark clouds, a blood-red eye-like object slowly opened.

The blood-red color was really like a human pupil, refracting an abrupt and bewitching red light in this gloomy giant tree world. And the blood-red color was condescending, as if from the perspective of a god, looking down on these thousands of expeditionary forces.

So many sergeants, under that blood-red gaze, were like a swarm of ants stuck to a giant tree, and they were not worth mentioning at all.

With a rumbling sound, the entire giant tree shook violently. All the soldiers had no idea what was happening, so they could only cling to the giant tree and beg the Bodhisattva to appear and bless them.

Thankfully, the tremors of the giant tree only lasted for a short time. When the giant tree stopped shaking and the soldiers raised their heads again, they found that the blood-red light slowly hit its light. As the last traces of blood red disappeared into the sky, the dark clouds also dispersed, revealing a vast blue sky.

The clouds are open.

And the front army, a thousand meters above them, just disappeared.

Yes, a whole three thousand people, one moment they sent them a message of wolf smoke, and the next moment there was only a mess left, but the people evaporated out of thin air.

No one knows where they have gone, what exactly they saw before they vanished.

Everything happens without a beginning or an end.

And Yao, who witnessed all this in person, did not say anything, just gave a death order and continued to move forward!

Even if the front army is completely annihilated, it must be advanced!

Even if all three armies are dead, even if there is only one person left, they will continue to climb up!

In the army, rumors are rife and people's hearts are shaking.

No one knows when this wise old man became so stubborn and cold. Or perhaps, the truth of this world is indeed in the hands of a few, Yao, who knows some secrets that others don't know.

On the thirty-first day, after losing 3,000 pioneers, the expeditionary force continued its journey with an unknown future.
