Chapter 272: Despair
The night shrouded the sky over this Onidu Plain, and the stars above the sky looked particularly beautiful.
Li Su leaned against a boulder and stared motionlessly at the road in front of him.
Some distance behind him is where the Qing Sanlian is located, so he must ensure their safety, which is the responsibility of a scout.
The Great Qin military demarcated an area within the Ghost Crossing Plain, and their Imperial Wind Camp was in this area.
Li Su is a sergeant soldier of the Qingsan Company, in the establishment of the Daqin border army, the sergeant is already a veteran, and the position of the commander is in the last step, if Su Li has no official rank, even if he is a cultivator and has just entered the border army, it is only the identity of a corporal, the corporal is a recruit, and the sergeant is an experienced elite soldier who has accumulated a certain amount of military merits, and most of them are veterans who have experienced many major battles, so he is very confident in the work of the scout.
He was staring at the road in front of him at the moment, the previous battle, the Wind Camp was almost disabled, and the battle had not yet appeared, such a thing was enough to make many people vigilant.
In the Ghost Crossing Plain, what really made the Great Qin soldiers feel powerless was not the wandering tribal soldiers, but the sturdy desolate people, who grew up in this wasteland and had unique strength, and each desolate man was a powerful warrior.
Any Great Qin soldier would rather face more tribal soldiers than those powerful and terrifying desolate people.
In order to ensure that more people in the brigade have enough physical strength, the number of guards at night has been reduced from eight to three, and he is the only one watching this road at the moment, so he must always be absolutely vigilant.
Feeling a little tired, he slowly lowered a thick black blade of grass into his mouth and placed it under his tongue.
A tingling bitter taste kept coming out of the black orchid grass unique to this Onidu Plain, constantly dispelling his sleepiness.
Facing the swimming of those poisonous insects and poisonous snakes around him, Li Su was unmoved, but always kept vigilant and looked at the road ahead.
Suddenly, his eyes froze, and there was an unusually burly figure, quietly emerging from the distant forest like a ghost, moving slowly with great agility and caution, and then stopped, gesturing silently behind him.
A chill welled up in his heart, even surpassing the bitter taste of the black snake orchid grass in his mouth, and filled his whole body, making every pore on his body feel a slight chill.
Wild man!
Just from the figure that was a head taller than ordinary people and the large area of exposed skin, he could be sure that this was a desolate man, and a truly powerful desolate man, and this desolate man's body was painted with three blood-red stars!
This is a sign of cultivation, and the three stars correspond to the cultivators of the three realms of the empire, such a powerful force is fatal to the team that has been broken now.
And the desolate people either don't appear, or they do, ranging from dozens to hundreds, and it's rare for them to have the habit of walking alone, but the desolate people always seem to be on a rampage, and there has never been such a thing.
Looking at the desolate man who suddenly appeared in front of him, and looking at the strange figure of the agile and cautious ghostly figure who looked unusually burly and heavy, but it seemed completely inconsistent with his cognition, Li Su suddenly fell into extreme shock.
Deep in the mountains and forests behind Li Su, dozens of sergeants rested in the black cortical sleeping sacs hanging from the trees, they were all accustomed to this way of resting, and the daytime march also consumed a lot of their physical strength, and they urgently needed sleep to replenish it, so these black-armored soldiers who were still fully armed in the black sleeping sacs had slept very sweetly.
On the slope outside the valley, Li Su, who was covered with a cold chill, did not give the first warning, but was still shocked but looked at the burly black shadow as calmly as a rock.
Because any experienced elite soldier of Great Qin would remain calm enough in this situation, at this distance, he still had a certain amount of time to wait, trying to see how many people there were on the other side and what kind of combat power.
If you rashly warn, you may lose an opportunity to encircle and suppress a small force of cave desolate people.
The desolate man who revealed a strange aura everywhere was attached to the big tree on one side, and only Li Su was in front of him in this position, and the secret sentinels in charge of the mountains and forests on both sides of the canyon could not find his traces at all.
After another five or six steps, the desolate man stopped again, and seemed to make a few more gestures to the rear.
One burly black shadow after another pierced through the mist behind him, and also moved forward with extraordinary agility and caution.
There were more and more ghostly black shadows, and in just a moment, behind the desolate man, all seemed to be filled with this overlapping black shadow, and then lined up one by one.
Li Su's breathing stopped instantly, and then, with almost all his strength, he blew a wooden whistle on his chest, making a sharp sound like a night owl, and his whole person also jumped out of the ground, and at the fastest speed in his life, penetrated into the mountain forest behind, and rushed towards the campsite deep in the forest.
Although I don't know why I encountered so many desolate brigades, for them, once they are discovered, it is death.
A terrible stabbing sound sounded in the mountains and forests!
Du Mu and Weng Juan changed their faces instantly, and they rushed out towards a hillside in front of them.
The black-armored soldiers in the mountains and forests behind the two of them all woke up at the first time, and most of them directly drew their blades and cut the rope hanging from the sleeping bag, allowing their bodies to fall directly to the ground, and then completely woke up in an instant.
Du Mu and Weng Juan galloped all the way to the hillside, where there was a big tree, which was the highest point in the nearby mountains and forests.
Just as the two of them began to run wildly, a terrible warning sound had already sounded on the vigorous tree that might normally hide a lot of tree snakes.
A sergeant climbed and jumped down from the tree as fast as he could, and met the two generals who were rushing wildly, and shouted in a panting voice: "Desolate Brigade!"
Just listening to the voice, they knew that Li Su was the first to warn, and at this moment, Li Su's warning was still ringing, which showed that they still had a certain amount of time to see what kind of opponent it was, so as to give the most correct order.
At the moment when they reached the top of this slope and gasped violently, Du Mu and Weng Juan saw their opponents clearly.
Only at this moment, Weng Juan's pupils contracted violently, and his face was bloodless.
Du Mu on the side let out a terrible roar, "Retreat! The whole army retreats!"
The voice was so loud that even Du Mu's throat, which had not yet breathed evenly, instantly burst out with some bloody gas.
At this moment, he felt death coming, and he began to despair!
