The next day, Qiao Xiaodao led 80 people to leave Phosphorus Fire Town, and when he left, the mayor of Phosphorus Fire Town, Shibasaki Saburo, persuaded him several times to no avail, so he had to send them off until he was outside the town before leaving and returning to the pavilion.

When Shibasaki Saburo returned to the main pavilion, the usual flattering smile disappeared, and instead turned into a nervous countenance, pacing back and forth in his room, seemingly uneasy.

After a moment, his footsteps suddenly stopped, his eyes lit up, and he looked towards somewhere empty.

"You're here!"

“......”

"A group of people have come down from the high-level towns and cities, and they have been investigating the news of the Quman Mountains many times, but they have not obtained any useful information. ”

“......”

"It's just that today these people set off for the mountain range, it seems that they want to go into the mountain to explore, this is ......"

“......”

"That's good, as long as you speak, their group will definitely return in vain, and you can rest assured in the future. ”

Shibasaki Saburo's voice whispering to himself in the air gradually faded, and finally faded away, and the nervous look faded from his face, and after bowing down as if to send something away, he leaned on the window railing and breathed a sigh of relief, with a pleasant smile on the corner of his mouth.

......

Two hours later, Qiao Xiaodao and his party arrived at the foot of the Quman Mountain Range.

Looking at the steep terrain in front of him, the first impression that appeared in Qiao Xiaodao's heart was only one word - quiet!

From their point of view, they can see that the sparse grass and trees in the mountains, almost none of them can grow straight, and the winding cracks are endless, but in this windless winter, they do not hear the slightest birdsong and beast song, and even the low trees of the slanting trees have become dull and dull, and everything seems to be in a dead silence.

"It's really lifeless!" Qiao Xiaodao shook his head: "No matter what, since you have already arrived here, if you don't go into the mountains to explore once, you will really return empty-handed." ”

"Let's go!"

"Yes, Captain!"

At the sound of an order, the momentum of the eighty-person squad suddenly changed, the spirit and spirit were highly condensed, and the breath in the middle of the soldier level was connected to each other, and at a glance, he knew that he was a veteran who had been killed on the battlefield.

......

In fact, this eighty-person squad was in the second sergeant competition of the Qinzhen Challenge, some of the surviving sergeants in Guo Shou's troops, after being incorporated into Guan Xin's troops, were in high training every day, and their combat power was by no means weaker than the Qin family's black army, and even a few points stronger, but in terms of equipment, there was no black armor unique to the black army, and there was a lack of a means of controlling the enemy in comparison.

But even so, this is also the strongest force in Guan Xin's hands today, and it is also the most loyal army, and this time this army was handed over to Qiao Xiaodao to come to this Quman Mountain Range, which is enough to prove the importance of this place.

Qiao Xiaodao is only thirteen years old this year, and he can be regarded as the youngest batch of sergeants in any army, however, he was awarded the position of captain under Qiao Ximing's recommendation, which naturally includes his own efforts.

For more than half a year, under the joint training of Qiao Ximing, Wei Mugen and others, Qiao Xiaodao has grown from a cowardly yellow-haired child to today's mid-level soldier-level ability, and the hardships he endured are no less than those of the sergeants in the military field, especially Qiao Ximing's private training is extremely harsh, and he has given birth to the idea of giving up the young knife several times, but with the support of the memory of his brother, he finally persevered.

But he knew in his heart that his current cultivation was not enough for him to hold an important position in the army, after all, his age was really difficult to convince the public, so this time he was asked to take charge of the task of the Qu Man Mountain Range, firstly, because the loyalty of these eighty troops could reduce the pressure of his age, and secondly, because he was the most trusted person by Qiao Ximing's side except for Guan Xin himself.

Guan Xin's troops were able to march freely in the Xuanwu Domain in the name of retreating from the barbarian beast tide, so he himself must not leave the barracks, otherwise it is very likely that he will be seized by the spies of other first-level towns and cities, and then threaten to end this dispatch of troops that they did not agree to in private, so the person in charge of this secret mission fell on Qiao Xiaodao.

The essence of the secret mission is to collect all the information about the Quman Mountain Range, especially the strange places, but it does not include the exploration of the mountain, but the first time he took on the heavy responsibility, Qiao Xiaodao could not return empty-handed, and under a thought, he made the decision to enter the mountain.

......

Stepping into the Quman Mountain Range, Qiao Xiaodao immediately felt that the whole world had changed.

At the foot of the mountain, he only felt that the Quman Mountain Range looked ordinary, but it was as quiet as a dead place, but when he stepped into the mountain, he immediately felt a sense of unprovoked fear in his heart, that kind of fear, as if the whole world had become empty, except for his own life—the fear of loneliness.

However, when he turned his head, the other sergeants of the squad were following closely behind him, and there was nothing unusual about them.

But the loneliness never lingered, and the more he walked inward, the more panicked he became, and he felt that there was an invisible barrier between himself and the eighty people who were traveling with him, and everything he saw was not in his own reality.

"Wow!

Qiao Xiaodao put the thumb of his left hand into his mouth and bit it hard, and the pain finally dispelled the lingering loneliness a little.

"Captain, are you alright?" asked a sergeant from the side.

Shaking his head, Qiao Xiaodao flatly denied: "I'm fine, keep going!"

Gritting his teeth, he walked at the front of the line, and the strange gaze behind him gradually became like a thorn in his back.

In the Quman Mountains, the road is extremely rugged, and from time to time there will be cracks and cliffs, and after several climbs and crossings, Qiao Xiaodao discovered another strange thing.

His physical energy, including the vitality in his body, was actually depleting at an extremely fast rate!

Although the mountain road is difficult, it is relative to ordinary people, as for those who have the ability to physically several times that of ordinary people, they can easily conquer the difficulties that seem to be dangerous in the eyes of ordinary people.

However, Qiao Xiaodao began to pant slightly.

He was about to discuss the matter with the team, but his ears moved slightly, and he heard a whisper behind him.

"Look, this kid is gasping for air. ”

"Yes, it has long been said that he is too young to be responsible. ”

"Such a little kid dares to be our school captain, it makes people laugh out of their teeth. ”

"You're so young!"

The voice was very soft, but it penetrated into Qiao Xiaodao's ears like a poisonous snake, and suddenly his face became blue and red, his steps were paused, and the idea of turning around was dispelled in an instant.

Damn, that's all the way it looks!

He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and climbed up again, but the detour seemed to have no end, and there was no tendency to stop.

The further he went, the stronger the loneliness in his heart became, accompanied by a suffocated anger, a flash of doubt, and more and more fragmented whispers.

"He's definitely going to fail. ”

"It's such a piece of shit. ”

"I really don't know how Qiao Sige would fall in love with such a person. ”

"Isn't it because of that person?"

"yes, this guy was a slave in the first place, if it weren't for that man's ......"

That man...... Who are you talking about?

Qiao Xiaodao's eyes widened, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole person's emotions became obviously unstable.

"That man......"

"It's all because of that person!"

"If only there was no man......"

Damn, who the hell are you talking about!?

Suddenly turning his head, Qiao Xiaodao looked at the stunned sergeant behind him with red eyes, and his voice jumped out of his throat: "Who are you talking about?"

The eighty sergeants looked at each other, and the person closest to him hesitated for a moment before replying, "Captain, none of us have made a sound. ”

"Do you think I'm deaf!?"

Qiao Xiaodao shouted violently, making the eyes of the sergeants even more strange, and they all looked at each other but couldn't answer.

Finally...... What's going on?

Just as he wanted to suppress the anger in his heart, he suddenly saw the person closest to him out of the corner of his eye, and his expression suddenly changed, and a smile of extreme disdain appeared.

"He's still asking who that person is!"

"Hahahaha!"

Guffaw!

Everyone is laughing!

The previous scene was torn to shreds in an instant, leaving only full of nausea.

"Who else could that person be?"

One of the sergeants suddenly rushed towards Qiao Xiaodao, a face caught off guard against the tip of his nose, and a mocking look penetrated into his heart at a distance of half a centimeter.

"That person is your brother!"

"Qiao Dingtong!"

Qiao Dingtong?

Rule......

Nail head.

Nailhead brother!

No, that's not right!

How could it be because of him!?

Qiao Xiaodao's eyes suddenly flickered, and the whole world spun rapidly around him, as if he was in a rotating cage, and the feeling of nausea and nausea kept coming, and he involuntarily closed his eyelids.

Nausea, fatigue.

I don't know how long it took, there were only these two feelings left in Qiao Xiaodao's perception, and his body was extremely tired, as if all his energy had been sucked out.

"Well, what the hell...... What's going on?"

The eyelids trembled uncontrollably, and it took a long time to open them with difficulty, but the scene in his eyes made Qiao Xiaodao unbelievable.

Eighty people, all of them collapsed to the ground, except for him, no one could straighten up, and their location was still the same place at the foot of the Quman Mountain Range, and not a single step changed!

A look of horror appeared in Qiao Xiaodao's eyes.

What the hell happened in this place just now!?

......

On the southern border of the Xuanwu Domain, a group of three people wearing silver cloaks crossed the border and quietly entered the Xuanwu Domain.

The faces of the three men were concealed by masks, and it could only be seen that one of them was of short stature, less than the height of an adult, and that the speed of his progress was the most difficult of the three, and the other two had to stop and wait for a moment from time to time so as not to leave the man behind.

And the direction in which the three of them are moving is exactly - Phosphorus Fire Town!
