However, a few minutes later, the lieutenant general replied: "The sound transmission stone can't contact General Lin, I'm afraid that General Lin has already stepped out of the range of the sound transmission stone..."

Because of the thinness of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Spirit Qi, the range of the sound stones transmitted in the Tianfu Continent is far inferior to that of the Zhongzhou Continent...

"Where were they when they were last contacted?" Hu Zhong unfolded the map and asked the adjutant general...

"Here...", his eyes swept over the map, and the lieutenant general quickly pointed out the direction...

"Pass the order, the team is accelerating to the northwest, you take the first step, contact General Lin as soon as possible, and let them and we will make peace..."

"Yes!"

About an hour later, Hu Zhong's lieutenant sent back the news, and when the two teams met, Lin Ru also said with a puzzled face: "What's wrong with General Hu?" ”

"Ye Xiao feels that if we continue to go deeper, there is a risk of being cut off by the strange beast, so he suggests that we withdraw temporarily..."

"Withdrawn? If we don't find any news and go back like this, won't we come in vain? When Lin Ru heard this, he also looked at the dawn that was facing away from him in the distance, obviously a little reluctant...

"General Hu, you organize everyone to withdraw the same way, I'll take a look..."After dropping a sentence, Dawn didn't explain much, and immediately jumped out to the rear...

Looking at the dawn in the distance, Lin Ru also looked back at Hu Zhong, frowned and said: "General Hu, although this kid is very talented, but this kind of thing still has to be decided by ourselves, this time you came to determine the reason for the wind pass, it is also to find out the truth of the beast tide, if you return at this time..."

When Hu Zhong heard this, he also nodded, and said: "I know, but as Ye Xiao said, now that we have been deep into Dingfeng Mountain for four days, we are already too far away from Dingfeng Pass, if this beast tide is really man-made, we are indeed at risk of being cut off..."

Just when the two of them were unable to decide, Dawn also rushed from a distance: "General Hu, there is a tide of beasts in the rear slowly gathering and coming towards us, hurry up and take everyone to the east and make a detour back to Dingfeng Pass!" ”

"What?!" When Lin Ru heard this, she was slightly startled...

When Hu Zhong heard this, he no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered everyone to start a quick detour to the east, wanting to bypass the beast tide behind him and turn back to Dingfeng Pass...

However, not far away, everyone met a group of small beasts composed of nearly a thousand strange beasts, and the lowest cultivation beasts in the group had reached the realm of the sect...

Although the beasts did not do much damage to the team, they did slow down the movement of the troops...

"Quickly clean up the battlefield and set off in a minute..."Hu Zhong gave an order, and all the sergeants also began to strip the beast element, which is a military merit for the army soldiers...

Different types of beast elements can be exchanged for different military merit points, and these points can be used to cultivate in the spiritual veins controlled by the military...

For ordinary sergeants, the benefits of spiritual vein cultivation are much higher than those from purifying through beast elements, and after the army purifies spirit crystals with these beast elements, it has more uses, such as purchasing equipment, providing energy for flying ships, etc...

Quickly cleaned up the battlefield, Hu Zhong also led the team to move forward, and under the investigation of Daybreak's perception, the strange beast that had been silent for four days finally began to be restless, and it gathered from all directions...

For hunting strange beasts, these thousand elite soldiers are relatively happy, and they cooperate with each other very tacitly, but after experiencing five or six consecutive impacts of small beast tides, the power of the Yuan Spirit in the bodies of some of the sergeants is beginning to be urgent, but fortunately, before departure, everyone has obtained twenty replenished Qi Pills, so they can still hold on in a short time...

In the evening, Hu Zhong found a high ground and set up camp and set up fortifications around it...

By the fire, Dawn looked at Hu Zhong and said, "If we continue like this, we will be consumed here..."

Hu Zhong nodded, looked at Lin Ru again, and proposed: "General Lin, you break out overnight, and then bring people to meet us after returning to Dingfeng Pass, otherwise it is too unrealistic for us to kill them directly..."

Lin Ru shook his head and said, "Or I'll stay and lead the team, General Hu will break through, your cultivation will be higher, and your speed will be faster..."

"It is precisely because of my high cultivation that I have to stay, otherwise if a high-level alien beast appears, the soldiers will be in danger..."

"But..."

"No, but, this is an order..."The current situation is critical, and Hu Zhong has to speak with grade...

“… Yes, sir! Seeing Hu Zhong's tough words, Lin Ru had no choice but to act according to orders...

"Ye Xiao, you go with Lin Ru..."Looking back at the dawn, Hu Zhong continued...

When Dawn heard this, he also smiled indifferently and said, "I'll stay, I'm afraid you will have a chance to wait for reinforcements..."

Looking at Dawn's confident appearance, Hu Zhong had to admit in his heart that Dawn's perception did play an extremely important role in the current situation...

Turning his head to look at Lin Ru, Dawn also urged: "Okay, General Lin hurry up, you can't delay any longer..."

After saying goodbye to Hu Zhong and Dawn, Lin Ru also took advantage of the night to sneak into the forest...

Seeing Lin Ru disappear into the night, Hu Zhong looked at the dawn and sighed softly: "Next, it depends on how long we can hold on..."

For Dawn, the current situation does not pose any threat, if it is really when the whole army is destroyed, Dawn still has a way to protect itself, after all, with stealth skills, as long as you don't encounter high-level alien beasts head-on, it is not difficult to quietly disappear from the field of vision of alien beasts and leave the Dingfeng Mountains...

At this time, what really interests Dawn is the person who controls the beast behind it...

At night, the alien beasts are even more active, but under the command of Hu Zhong, the soldiers are still defending in an orderly manner, and their gains are naturally quite a lot...

At dawn the next day, the soldiers set off again, but they lost the support of the high ground and engaged the beasts in all directions in the forest, but some casualties began to appear...

"This can't work..."As soon as he repelled a wave of beasts, Hu Zhong looked at the tired crowd and frowned...

After unfolding the map to determine the current location of the troops, Hu Zhong also made up his mind to stick to it and wait for reinforcements...

Dawn pointed to a place on the map and said, "If you want to hold on, this place is good..."

Looking at where Dawn was pointing, Hu Zhong also nodded after a short thought...

At noon, Hu Zhong led all the soldiers to a cliff and stationed down, where the back was against the cliff, and the left side was backed by a tall and steep rock wall, which greatly reduced the area of defense, so Hu Zhong also divided the troops into three groups and took turns to fight...

Although such a terrain has a defensive advantage, it also forces itself into a dead end, and there is no way to retreat...

Looking at the increasing number of strange beasts gathered in the forest under the hillside, Hu Zhong also sighed secretly: "Now it depends on how long we can support, and when Lin Ru can bring reinforcements to arrive..."

Regarding Hu Zhong's worries, Xiao Xiao didn't care too much, but said, "General Hu, I want a sound transmission stone that can contact you..."

When Hu Zhong heard this, he was slightly stunned, and he also took out a sound transmission stone from the Spirit Expansion Ring, handed it to Xiao Xiao, and said, "What do you want this thing for?" ”

Dawn smiled indifferently and said, "I'll find a chance to go out and have a look, we can't pin all our hopes on reinforcements..."

Hearing that Dawn wanted to act alone, Hu Zhong also frowned, and just as he was about to speak, a sergeant rushed from a distance and shouted urgently: "General! Checkmate... Oh no, there are two devouring realm cultivators in front of them, General Zhang and General Wang are almost overwhelmed..."
