Chapter 36: Soldier in the Night

The night is the world that God brings to people another color, which makes people bewitch and indulge, and many things continue to happen in this color, beautiful, sad, ugly......

The endless primeval forest - the Lost Forest! Ancient trees are towering to the sky, covering the sky and the sun, the remnants of the flood in the depths of the forest emerge in endlessly, the ferocious beasts are rampant, the poisonous insects, snakes and ants are numerous, here is their heaven and earth, a unique paradise, so that many predecessors are also discouraged, never dare to cross the thunder pond half a step, no one knows, how big the lost forest is, whether it has an end, what kind of world is on the other side. It is like a heaven-sent barrier, firmly guarded behind the Moonlight Valley, for a long time, foolproof.

On the east and west sides of the Moonlight Valley is the endless land of Zeze, miasma is everywhere, the shrubs on the Zeze are thick, ups and downs, and the reeds of the two people are as tall as they occasionally ripple slightly with the wind, which looks eerie and mysterious in the dark night.

The north side is the Xuanwu River of the ancient long flow, the big river from west to east, such as the dragon meandering, stretching continuously, interspersed in the swamps of the east and west, the river water is clear, sweet and delicious, the river is sometimes turbulent, sometimes soothing, occasionally there will be some strange fish, playfully out of the water, it seems to be feeling the scenery of the various places that swim along the way.

If someone wants to cross the Xuanwu River to the other side, it is not easy, this seemingly quiet and peaceful Xuanwu River, but there are many hot-tempered water overlords, as well as some ferocious fish, if you are not careful, you will die in the belly of the fish.

If you want to cross the river in the section of the river basin between the two swamps, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, like a child ascending to the sky, for countless years, not to mention the other formations laid out by the ancestors of the Moon Ming Valley, it is a kind of luck to find out where the river is located from the steaming mist.

There is such a peculiar space in the Moonlight Valley, where the primeval forest is balanced in the south, the east and west are separated by the vast and mysterious swamp, and the Xuanwu River monster is in the north, and the formation blocks everything.

The Moonlight Valley is even bigger and boundless, with mountains and rivers, strange peaks and dangerous ravines, and a vast territory, just like a small world.

There are hundreds of tribes in the valley, with a population of more than 100 million, and there are clear hierarchies. However, the relationship between the various tribes in the Yueming Valley is relatively harmonious, it seems that there have only been a handful of wars in the long years, it is said that the most tragic one, and the last one, the entire Yueming Valley has participated, at that time, the mourning was all over the field, miserable, and finally everyone was sad and hateful, and regret was beyond reach, so that Mishan swore by the blood of the sky, and the stars changed, and the thousands of years would never fight. This is the appearance of peace and prosperity today.

Therefore, in addition to stabilizing the people on weekdays, the existence of the guard army is more responsible for driving away the flood and exotic beasts in the primeval forest, resisting insects and ants in the east and west swamps, and guarding and guarding various formations in the Xuanwu River.

The whole small world is quiet, darkness covers the earth, there is no noise in the Moonlight Valley, it has ushered in a night full of peace, people should have been immersed in sweet dreams......

"Hey, it's too hot, I don't know what the sun thinks, I don't know how to restrain it, it's sincere and I don't want people to live." A little soldier named Shanxi complained that he was very handsome, and he came to Moli's subordinates under the arrangement of his family two years ago, when he had just turned sixteen.

"You can be content, think of those brothers who are still in the primeval forest at the moment, the taste of mosquito bites......"

"Oops...... Stop, stop, stop talking, it's all crazy......"

"Now you can relax a little for a while, and when General Moli comes back, we still have time to barbecue and eat here, and if we don't inspect ten or eight times, we don't want to avoid his reprimand. ”

"Tell me, how could the general go mad? ”

"Don't listen to their nonsense, General Moli is the heir of Xuanyuan Huan's seniors, and before leaving, he passed on the secret method of divine skills to the general, and let him practice in retreat in the Xuanyuan family!"

"Oh! I'll just say, what kind of man the general is, it's impossible to go mad. ”

"Don't say that, the so-called groundlessness, rumors sometimes have to be believed, you don't know, when I first came here as a guard the year before last, there was a ......"

Shanxi stopped and looked around, and when he saw that no one was there, he lowered his voice and said to the nine people who were eating barbecue around the campfire:

"Once I and a few people went into the primeval forest with the general to drive away the brute beast, the brute liked to haunt at night, and had injured several people in the guards, so the general personally rushed over, that night was like now, it was extremely dark, everyone lit torches, divided into several teams and slowly moved forward, I was too small, so I was assigned to the general's team, so safe. ”

"We have been separated from the other teams for a long time, it just so happened that the brute beast was in the direction of our team, it was the general who found its trace, I was waiting to rush up with everyone to drive away the brute beast, an older uncle grabbed me and said, I am young, my martial arts are poor, I can't help if I go, and I will drag them down, so I should hurry up and call the other teams over. ”

After the uncle finished speaking, he chased after the general's back, and I knew my situation, so I didn't hesitate, so I ran away to call someone. When I found them and hurried them together, the general was alone and saddened, and the torches were thrown in the open space on his side, and he told us that all the others were buried in the belly of the brutes, and that the brutes were also scurrying into the depths of the primeval forest......

"The general's grief was beyond words, and everyone stepped forward to comfort us while being sad, because we couldn't even find a single thing from those people, not even a piece of clothing......

The nine people who were eating barbecue around Shanxi and opposite also stopped, all with sadness and fear on their faces, maybe they could still eat barbecue here and chat today, maybe next night they would be buried in the mouth of the brute beast like those people, and there were no bones.

Shanxi looked around again, and then said: "That night my emotions could not be calmed down for a long time, fear, sadness has been filling my soul, I did not sleep all night, the next morning, I took leave from the then ten captains, and went to the primeval forest alone. The uncle who grabbed me had a life-saving grace for me, and I wanted to go there and look for it again, to see if there was anything missing because the torches were not bright enough last night, and maybe I could really find what was in front of my uncle, so as to leave a thought for my uncle's family. ”

"But when I searched all over the area within a radius of several hundred meters, I didn't find any traces of fighting, nor did I find any marks of a large wild beast, which made me puzzled, and the last ridiculous thought appeared in my heart......"

Shanxi stopped, his face full of fear, and his hands trembled slightly.

The other nine people were also in a trance, with complicated expressions.

"It wasn't until the rumors came back from the Yuyu tribe a year ago that they ......"

"Shh......h

Someone covered Shanxi's mouth.

"Don't go any further, stop talking about it, we haven't heard anything, Shanxi, you remember, except for a few of us, you are not allowed to talk about this matter to others, you know......!"

"Yes, yes, Shanxi, you listen to Captain Ten, it doesn't hurt you. ”

Shanxi nodded, and the tenth captain let go of his mouth and said, "Okay, you guys clean up here, let's go and walk elsewhere......"

The night was still so quiet, the black clouds were rolling and shrouded the earth, the moonlight pierced the black clouds, and the winding path loomed.

The guards in the Moonlight Valley tribe are divided into many branches, and each branch of the army is divided into several teams, the smallest of which is ten people, called the Ten Squads. The Guards have various officers, with distinct hierarchies, and the smallest officer is the ten captains of the Ten Squads.

"Captain Ten, what can happen so far away, let's go back!" a soldier looked at this slightly remote place and said cautiously, perhaps frightened by what happened to Shanxi just now, he always felt uncomfortable.

"Yes, Captain Ten, I was scared by this kid Shanxi just now, and I haven't reacted yet!" someone then suggested, he felt that this place had been safe and sound for many years, and nothing would happen.

"Shut up, from today onwards we must be more conscientious than ever, and we must not slack off, especially ......"

There was a shrill cry that pierced the night, and it was creepy.

A figure stood in the night, his black shirt swaying in the eerie wind, making people shudder.

The black figure suddenly faded away with an eerie chuckle, and finally disappeared......
