Chapter 135: Parting Ways After the Flood

The flood that emitted all kinds of strange smells, like surging rivers, rolled down, and those who fell down, some of them were lucky, and after a few struggles, they grabbed the trees on the shore, and then desperately grabbed them.

And some people are not so lucky, after a few struggles, a few ups and downs, they go down the river and disappear without a trace.

Screams came one after another, and cries for help came and went.

Situ Chang smiled helplessly and listened to the cries for help in his ears, but he couldn't do anything.

Dongfang Yunfei and Xiao Yuanfeng could only silently accept this cruel reality.

In this narrow canyon, the rock walls are steep, and there are very few places to hide.

People with high martial arts have found a place where they can stay, take refuge first, and if they can't save others, they will save themselves first, and when only one person can stand in a position, they can only be strong first.

In this dark night, some comrades-in-arms who were originally united front, and even brothers or sisters in life, but at the critical moment, in order to survive and live, many people could only kill each other and push each other into the rolling flood in order to avoid the doom of being swept away by the flood.

No one saw it, but everyone could feel it.

It is a cruel test between life and death.

When only one person can stand in a position, is it reserved for others or for yourself?

How to choose?

Who knows in the dark night?

The rain gradually became smaller, but the flood subsided not so quickly, both sides of the Grand Canyon were steep and majestic mountains, and when the rain began to lighten, the flowing water in the mountains did not stop immediately, but still flowed continuously into the valley, gathering small streams into a large stream, so the water in the valley was still rapid.

The flood is surging, mercilessly devouring human lives.

However, as time went on, the water level was slowly decreasing!

As the water level gradually decreased, the people of the Cult Alliance, the Dongfang Family, and the Qinling Sect were also much quieter.

After the rain stopped, the people who had been in the dark slowly adapted and could see the general environment around them vaguely.

On the cliffs on both sides of the Grand Canyon, people can still be seen everywhere standing or pulling the trees on the rock wall, Situ Changxiao stood on a higher place, about two feet above the water, it was a small platform with a rock protrusion, about two people could stand, but he was the only one standing against the rock wall at this time.

His eyesight is much better than that of the average person, so he will see more things.

looked at each other coldly and remained silent.

It wasn't until the water level was about to drop below the waist of ordinary people that he said in a deep voice:

"Let's move on!"

After speaking, he bore the brunt of the water in the Grand Canyon.

The others had no choice but to go inside.

The current has become much smoother, and walking in the water is much better than climbing over a cliff.

It's just that the water seems to be a little too cold.

In late autumn and early winter, at night after the rain, people who get wet walk in the icy river, and many people grit their teeth and persevere.

Someone can't help but sneeze.

There are only a small number of people with deep internal strength, who are lucky enough to resist the cold, as if nothing happened.

Dongfang Yunfei and Xiao Yuanfeng walked to Situ Changxiao's side, and then Dongfang Yunfei said in an extremely serious tone:

"Sect Master Situ, at the moment, I have a rough estimate, in this flood, we have lost a total of about 3,000 people, I don't know what kind of accidents will lie ahead, I suggest that we exit this Wanling Mountain first, go to the exit and wait, to wait for work, I don't know what Situ Sect thinks?"

Situ Chang smiled and said with a smile still freely:

"They can all pass, why can't we? We have losses in this flood, and I think their situation is certainly not much better, and I think that since we want to chase it, we must persevere to the end. ”

Dongfang Yunfei suddenly felt panicked in his heart.

He hadn't spoken to someone in such a tone for many years, and what he said was always a decision.

But now Situ Changxiao denied it so lightly, as if he casually denied the proposal of an elder in his sect.

Finally suppressed the nameless fire in his heart, Dongfang Yunfei said calmly:

"Since Sect Master Situ insists on catching up, why don't we divide labor and cooperate? You chase from behind, I and the leader of the Qinling faction Xiao withdrew from Wanling Mountain, made a detour, and waited for them at the exit, when we attacked back and forth, so that they could not get out of Wanling Mountain, what do you think? ”

This time, Situ Changxiao did not answer immediately, but in the dark night, he looked at Dongfang Yunfei with blazing eyes like day.

Although he couldn't see what kind of eyes it was, Dongfang Yunfei still felt it, and it was a look of surprise and contempt.

However, Dongfang Yunfei had no intention of changing his mind, in his opinion, such a tracking and pursuit now seemed meaningless.

Even if you catch up, it's hard to beat the other party.

Although the emperor's intention is to constantly consume the strength of the other party, if it is consumed in this way, it must be his own family that will be completely consumed in the end.

He didn't want to see the Oriental family ruined in his own hands.

If you don't have the backing of your family, even if the Eastern Qin Kingdom dominates the world in the future, what can you get?

With the same idea as him, there is also Xiao Yuanfeng.

"Haha...... Good idea! ”

Situ Chang laughed and said with a loud laugh.

It sounds like a compliment, but when you think about it, it sounds like sarcasm.

Dongfang Yunfei didn't have an interface, and waited quietly for his next step.

Situ Chang smiled and continued:

"Well, go back! It will be up to you from the Eastern Family and the Qinling Sect to block in front, and we will pursue from behind. ”

Immediately, Dongfang Yunfei and Xiao Yuanfeng shouted to the remaining people of the Dongfang Family and the Qinling Sect, returned the same way, and walked towards the entrance of the Grand Canyon.

Only half of the 50,000 people remained.

For a while, some people in the cult alliance were also fluctuating.

Walking forward, the road is long, I don't know what kind of danger I will encounter, and if I retreat, as long as I exit the Grand Canyon, there is basically no danger.

When the people of the two gangs were far away, Situ Chang laughed and said:

"We, the people of the Holy Religion Alliance, will never do anything halfway. What they can do in the so-called righteous path martial arts, we can do the same, as long as everyone works together, I believe we will be able to do better! ”

"Because our Holy Sect Alliance is composed of the best members of each gang, without the Eastern Family and the Qinling Sect, we still have enough strength to deal with the so-called Decent Martial Arts Alliance in front."

In the dark night, Situ Chang's words did not cause much repercussions, and everyone just listened silently.

Suddenly, a man said in a loud voice:

"Holy Sect Alliance, invincible in the world!"

Only then did everyone have to echo loudly:

"Holy Sect Alliance, invincible in the world!"

"Holy Sect Alliance, invincible in the world!"

……

Shouting slogans, people's mental state has really become much better.

The pace of progress has increased a little.

When Situ Changxiao led the people of the cult alliance to move forward with passion and difficulty, the team led by Mu Qianmei had already begun to prepare for dinner.

The wind and rain stopped, the mountains were still wet, and the mountain streams were still flowing.

After a difficult search, the soldiers found two large caves, which were also very close.

Each cave can accommodate about five or six thousand people, and everyone has the right to be a natural temporary tent.

First find some dry firewood and grass in the cave, make a fire, and then send people to hunt nearby.

There is no food and grass, no luggage, and food and shelter are all big problems.

At this time, the people of the Beggar Gang Lone Star Hall can give full play to their strengths.

They have a lot of experience in surviving in the wild, so they lead the team of masters to find food.

Those who stayed also immediately set about setting up some simple tents outside.

Although it is only one night, if you don't have a good rest, your future trip will definitely be greatly affected.

Fortunately, in the primeval forest, the materials are complete, and the people here are all people in the rivers and lakes, although they are hungry for a day, some are tired, but the passion for cutting trees to build tents is very high, so in just half an hour, a large number of simple tents were set up outside the two stone caves.

There is great power in many people, and it is easy to do things in many people.

Simple tents have been set up here, and the hunters over there are also rushing back one after another.

The harvest was also abundant, with hares, pheasants, wild dogs, wild boars, deer, etc., put on the ground and piled up in large piles.

When the hunters returned, they gathered around the garrison and stood guard, which was equivalent to resting, while those who stayed at the garrison and waited began to organize their prey.

Mu Qianmei stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the people who had returned from hunting, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart

"Maybe that's how primitive people lived! Those who live in caves and wait for those who return from hunting, and then distribute food. ”

Piles of bonfires burned everywhere, and people took their game to the river to wash it, and then began to roast it on the fire.

After a while, the whole valley was filled with a strong smell of meat.

Tired and hungry people, smelling such a fragrance, couldn't help but swallow their saliva one by one.

The exhaustion seemed to be swept away, and they all became energetic.

After the barbecue was done, the barbecue person first sent the best roasted meat to the cave and presented it to Mu Qianmei and others, and then began to share it with everyone.

Although there is no salt or any spices, it is still delicious because it is carefully grilled and the meat of the animal itself contains a certain amount of salt.

Not to mention being so hungry.

Mu Qianmei only took the leg of a pheasant, which was quite tender and tasted good, but the meat without salt was indeed too light.

Hua Dunirou was holding the leg of a hare, and she also sat next to Mu Qianmei and chewed and ate slowly.

Compared with women's chewing and swallowing slowly, men's eating appearance is much more rude, gobbling up one by one, feasting, eating well, and full of oil.

When you are full, drink saliva again, burp, and wipe your hands clean with satisfaction.

Only three gangs avoided everyone, namely the Tantric Buddha Sect, the Xuanqing Sect, and the Ethereal Pavilion, and lived in a slightly remote place, and the two tents also had fires, but instead of roasting meat, they ate some wild melons and fruits and the like.

In such a season, they can also find wild fruits that can be eaten.

Seeing that this side had finished eating, Master Illusion Sky, Tianyi Chang and Zhiyun Master Tai walked all the way to the cave where Mu Qianmei was.

In the depths of the cave, in a wide branch cave, this is like a natural big room, Mu Qianmei sits in the innermost, a bonfire is lit about three meters in front of her, and the leaders and important personnel of each gang are sitting on both sides.

"Advancing to Wanling Mountain, the difficult life has just begun, and we may have to live this kind of life for more than 20 days, or even more than a month. And the deeper we go, the more difficult it will become, and from tomorrow onwards, we will start to save food for the prey we hunt every day, and maybe we will not find food on some roads. ”

"It's getting colder, and it seems to be colder in the mountains, and it will soon be winter, and maybe it will snow, so the fur of the animals should also be kept, and then it can be made into clothes to fight the cold."

"Some of the people in our various gangs should have those who know how to use medical skills, and in the process of marching, I hope to collect some commonly used medicinal materials at any time to prepare in case of emergency."

"If my prediction is right, the people of the cult alliance may follow, and the head-on conflict is better, we are stronger than them, but I think they will be more likely to be framed in secret, just like putting poisonous smoke into the stone cave where we retreated, similar methods are a headache, and it is impossible to prevent it!"

"Therefore, along the way, we must be on guard at all times, be vigilant, and never fall into their trap."

……

Mu Qianmei slowly said her thoughts in an orderly manner, trying her best to predict everything that might happen and put forward suggestions for coping.

Everyone was impressed and impressed.

How can this young girl's family think about things so thoughtfully and analyze them in such detail?

He is worthy of being the leader of the alliance.

After listening to Mu Qianmei's words, everyone also participated in the discussion for a while, and felt that the discussion was almost over, so they broke up and rested.

At this time, outside the cave, there was already a quiet place.

Only a few looming bonfires were still lit around the station.

Some sat by the campfire and took a nap, while others patrolled the surroundings.

They can only take turns resting.

In the dead of night, the dark clouds dispersed, and a few thin stars began to be seen in the deep sky.

There is also a slender crescent moon.

The entire Wanling Mountain seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog.

While the people on the side of the Decent Martial Arts Alliance had already fallen asleep, the people of the Evil Dao Alliance were still struggling in the Grand Canyon.

When it comes to flooding, it is a natural disaster.

Parting ways, yes.

It's a natural disaster again, and it's ** again, is even God against this tracking?

Situ Chang smiled and felt a little depressed in his heart.

What is the point of this chase now?

Originally, he wanted to destroy the decent martial arts in one fell swoop, and he had carefully planned for so long, just to let them stay on the frost-free mountain forever in the dead of night.

Even if there are some fish that slip through the net, they have also set up a net on the southeast side of the frost-free mountain, so that they will not be spared.

Unfortunately, all the ideas have now come to naught.

The Frostless Mountain was burned, but it did not cause any damage to the decent martial arts.

On the contrary, he has lost a lot.

I thought that the decent martial arts would fight them head-on, but in the territory of the Eastern Qin State, with the strong support of the Eastern Qin State, they were besieged from all sides, and they had nowhere to escape.

Who knew that they fled to the mountains to find a secret passage, and they actually survived.

After a hand-to-hand encounter, they continued to flee.

At this time, the Eastern Qin State sent a large army to station in front and firmly guarded their way out.

This was a multi-party joint encirclement and suppression.

No one thought that they would choose to advance into Wanling Mountain, a primeval forest that no one could pass through, and they actually walked into it without hesitation.

In this autumn and winter, there will be torrential rain in the Grand Canyon.

In a flood, the casualties were not small, and the Dongfang family and the Qinling faction actually chose to retreat at this time, which was really worse.

What's the point of this chase?

When Situ Changxiao was depressed in his heart, the water level finally dropped to his knees.

The speed at which they were marching gradually increased.

Although they were already very tired, because everyone wanted to leave this difficult canyon as soon as possible, they all cheered up and rushed forward as soon as possible.

When I was about to reach the exit of the Grand Canyon, I suddenly smelled the smell of barbecue wafting from afar.

The people of the evil alliance who were already hungry couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and their stomachs were even more grunting, causing a revolution.

"I'm about to catch up!"

Someone shouted excitedly.

Everyone was a little excited, and when they smelled the smell of barbecue, it meant that they were not far away.

However, after a brief period of excitement, there was a silence.

I caught up, but what if I caught up?

The opponent has 50,000 or 60,000 people, and your own side has 20,000 or 30,000 people, how can this battle be fought?

Situ Changxiao felt the change in everyone's mood, so he cheered up and said loudly:

"Although the other side is outnumbered, but we don't fight them head-on, if it comes to sneak attacks, assassinations, and poisoning, who can compare to our Holy Religion Alliance?"

"Decent martial arts don't bother to do such things, but for our Holy Sect Alliance, the result is the most important thing."

"Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is Kou, as long as we can defeat the other party, we can show our strengths, any means can be used, the so-called open gun is easy to block, the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, now the enemy is clear and I am dark, we have the advantage, what is there to be afraid of? A burst of poisonous smoke and a sneak attack can kill and injure more than half of them. ”

"After getting out of the Grand Canyon, let's not startle the snakes first, but quietly look for a hidden place, eat and drink enough, nourish our spirits, and then wait for the opportunity to sneak attack, what do you think?"

After listening to Situ Chang's words, everyone was relieved, not fighting head-on, which was exactly what everyone unanimously wanted!

Sneak attack? Assassinate? Poison? ……

They love it.

So, everyone said loudly:

"The Sect Master is wise!"

Situ Changxiao immediately smiled and said:

"Haha...... This is a game of cat and mouse, everyone must remember that we are in the dark, we must be patient, wait for the best time, if we don't move, we must give them a fatal blow. When we get out of the valley, we must speak quietly, and we must not let the enemy know where we are. ”

"Yes!"

The crowd replied in unison.

So, in this primeval forest Wanling Mountain, a chase battle is about to begin.

Who will bury the bones in the forest?

Who can laugh at the end

This is a complex contest, fighting wits and courage, not only fighting strength, but also fighting luck,

In the night, the crescent moon had already hidden in the clouds, and it seemed that it was not intended to see this human cannibalism.

The fog in Wanling Mountain seems to have become thicker.
