Chapter 91: The Night of Devil Crying Mountain
As the night progressed, the wind grew stronger in the mountains, and strange howls continued to be heard from the crevices everywhere.
The formation of the students of the fifth class began to be messy, and the timid shrank into the line, and the bold ones were also scolding.
The battle at dusk was the first time they had killed people since they joined the army, and they were already a little weak-hearted, but now they were terrified when they heard such movements in the dark night.
Chang Le couldn't help but scold:
"Hell!"
Hearing the word "ghost", Fanny next to her was even more frightened, and wrapped her arms around Chang Le's arms and pressed them closer to his arms.
Lola laughed:
"Boss, don't tell me, you're also afraid of ghosts!"
Chang Le shook his head, only saying that he thought the wind was strange.
Xu Si gave an explanation on the side:
"This Cologne mountain range, almost every night wind, the locals have a common name, called Ghost Cry Mountain, don't you know?"
"That's even more wrong!"
Chang Le has been immersed in analyzing the power of magic for several months, and he is already very familiar with the laws of the operation of elements such as ice, fire, and wind, and this mountain should not have such a wind, let alone every night!
The Havilland Plain is known as the "granary of empires" because of its smooth weather and mild climate, but isolated in this mountain in the center of the plain, where does this wind come from and where does it go?
No one can give an answer.
Chang Le could only loudly order to keep on guard, and the most terrifying thing now was not the "ghosts", but the "prey" hiding in the shadows. Orcs have better vision at night, and if they are not careful, the difference between "hunter" and "prey" will be blurred.
The wind made it difficult for the wolf's sense of smell to work, and even the cunning rabbit's hearing was disturbed, so Chang Le could only scan the surrounding mountains and forests with his soul vision over and over again.
The shaking branches frantically touched the spatial veins, and the entire "space spider web" was trembling violently, and Chang Le in the center of the spider web was also at a loss, and his ability to sense moving objects was greatly reduced.
Even Chang Le is difficult to detect the enemy's situation, let alone expect his classmates to stare at each other in vain, in this case, the safest way is to carry out the original plan and find a safe corner to camp.
After two hours of marching, the fifth class entered a small col in the middle of the night, and because of the dense trees at the entrance, it was difficult to find a hole in it if you were very happy to have a soul vision.
The Cologne Mountains are high but not wide, covering an area of just over 100 square kilometers, and are in the hinterland of the empire, so there are no powerful magical beasts here, and even ordinary large beasts have been hunted clean by humans.
Chang Le took a rough turn in the col, and found no hidden dangers, so he ordered to set up a tent, but for the sake of secrecy, he could not light a bonfire, and all the food could only be eaten cold, and all the personnel were divided into three groups, one group was responsible for standing guard, a group of swords did not leave their hands to keep guard, and a group took off their armor and slept well.
The col is not calm, it stands to reason that there are cliffs on all sides, and the wind cannot blow in at all, but there is still a whirlwind rising from the ground, and even pushing a tent cloth into the air when it is strong.
"Shut up!
Chang Le lowered his voice and scolded harshly, because the safety of the camp depends on concealment.
Fanny beside her pulled him:
"You're talking about the hell again! I'm scared!"
Chang Le grinned at his beloved girl:
"Sleep with me at night, what are you afraid of?"
"How's that going to work?
"Just sleeping, I didn't say I was going to do anything else. ”
"I didn't say I was going to do anything else!"
Fanny shook off Chang Le and pouted and walked away, but found that Chang Le did not follow, and ran back in a blink of an eye, hugging him by the arm and complaining that he was "annoying".
After the camp was set up with great difficulty, Chang Le first carefully adjusted the position of the sentry, and then pulled Fanny into the tent.
Seeing this, the other people inside hid out with great interest.
But they simply avoided it, but went to other tents to talk and laugh in a low voice, describing the scene vividly, how the "boss" pulled the shy "sister-in-law" in, how the "sister-in-law" pretended to laugh and half-pushed, and so on.
This time Fanny was even more ashamed of herself:
"It's all your fault!"
After saying that, he opened the tent door and ran out.
Fanny's personality has always been like this, Chang Le deliberately ignored it, smiled and waited in the tent, expecting that she would have to come back.
But a minute passed, two minutes passed, and Fanny never appeared.
Although the wind in the col is small, the "ghost cry" of the whole mountain is still poignant and weird. Waiting for the third minute, Chang Le's heart suddenly tightened:
"Could something be wrong?"
"Fanny!" he hurriedly rushed out of the tent to look around, his voice low but his tone extremely anxious.
It wasn't until the curtain of a tent door was lifted and Lola poked her head out and shouted, "Your wife is here," that he knew there was a false alarm.
Fanny hid in the girls' tent and refused to answer, maybe she was really a little angry, Chang Le's "show affection" scale crossed the line, causing her to be talked about, and the shy girl couldn't bear it.
Chang Le didn't say anything more, waved at Fanny, told her to rest, and went back to the tent to sit quietly.
At this moment, there is a danger in the mountains, and since he can't be intimate with Fanny, he simply doesn't sleep, closes his eyes and meditates, and explores the secrets around him with his soul vision.
The Cologne Mountains are so strange that the so-called "ghost crying" does not frighten him, but arouses his curiosity.
After concentrating on it, Chang Le soon discovered that the violent energy in the air was omnipresent.
The energy is formless and insubstantial, and he cannot directly touch or see it, but the spatial veins in the soul's vision are constantly distorted, and the fluctuations are small and wide, and these dynamics can be coherent together, and the outline of the energy that shuttles through the turbulence can be depicted.
The "Devil Cry" wind did not come out of nowhere, but the energy brought a strong temperature difference, which also caused local short-range winds.
So, where does this powerful energy come from, and why does it persist for so many years, appearing every night?
This question is even more difficult, there are almost no clues, and what can be thought of for the time being is that the source power of heaven and earth is stronger at night than during the day, but the source force itself has nothing to do with the real world, it will not interact, and only cultivators can capture and transform it.
Or, is there a magic circle?
Circle!
Chang Le's heart flashed with inspiration, recalling the Cologne Mountains on the map.
Although the map given by the provost is full of errors, the general trend of the mountains can still be seen. Ignoring some small hills, there are six mountains that can be called the "main peak", and according to their distribution, they are clearly a huge six-pointed star array!
Thinking of this, he got up excitedly and walked out of the tent, came to a high slope, raised his head and closed his eyes to meditate, and felt the fluctuations of the source power in the same way that he was cultivating his fighting qi.
He saw a flood of colors! they were all the source power that had been transformed into magical energy by the magic circle.
It's just that there is a problem with the drawing of the magic circle, or it has been eroded by a long time, causing the resonance of the magic pattern line to fail, and the stable function that should have been achieved has become an irregular energy turbulence.
What it was originally used for is difficult to verify at present, but with time, with Chang Le's diligent research on the magic circle, sooner or later the truth can be found.
Since "ghost crying" has nothing to do with ghosts and will not cause obvious damage, Chang Le was relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief.
At this moment, Fanny's voice suddenly came from beside her:
"Are you mad at me?"
It turned out that after Fanny hid in the girls' tent, she planned to sit and wait for Changle to apologize and please, but she didn't expect the latter to leave coldly, the more she thought about it, the more worried she became, so she took the initiative to come to Changle's tent to ask for reconciliation, but saw that there was no one inside, and finally found here.
Chang Le was only a little disappointed, and there was no anger at all, but since Fanny asked like this, he climbed along the pole and nodded with a straight face:
"I'm angry!"
Fanny burst into tears:
"In the small building, I haven't rejected you once, but now there are so many people, and others will discuss ......"
"Haha, scare you. ”
Changle couldn't help but smile, pulled Fanny into his arms, and kissed her little mouth hard.
However, the lips did not touch, and the helmets collided first, and there was a "dang" sound.
Fanny also smiled, took the initiative to take off her helmet, removed Changle's helmet, and put her tiptoe around the back of Changle's neck, and her cherry lips opened lightly to greet her.
When kissing, it was replaced by a cuirass squeezing and rubbing, and the metal rubbed against each other "squeaked" and made people sour.
Chang Le laughed and knocked twice on Fanny's breastplate:
"Take this off too. ”
Fanny didn't object, but her cheeks flushed in the moonlight, and she glanced at the camp, and the meaning was very clear, she could take it off, but not let anyone see it.
Chang Le smiled without saying a word, pulled her to move into the bushes, and untied the armor with his hands.
"Take it off only this, and don't take it off anything else. Fanny pouted and set the line.
"Hmm. Chang Le nodded as usual.
"Say yes every time, and then every time you have to make an inch!" Fanny pursed her mouth higher, her voice full of resentment, but the smile between her eyebrows and eyes was extraordinarily sweet.
"Knowing that I want to gain an inch, you still deliberately sent sheep into the tiger's mouth!"
Chang Le smiled and pushed Fanny to the sparse place in the treetops of the forest, but let go of her armor and belts, only ripped off her military pants and boots, and even kept her skirt-like leggings and chain mail, and helped her lean on the trunk of a tree, looking at her beautiful face through the white moonlight.
Then, he snapped the helmet back onto Fanny's head.
Fanny looked confused:
"What are you doing here?"
"A beautiful woman in a costume has a unique charm. ”
Chang Le was full of love, caressing Fanny's face, like appreciating a beautiful jade carving.
Fanny enjoyed the feeling and smiled sweetly at Chang Le, but after a short time she frowned and shouted cold. After all, the spring is cold, and she has lost her pants.
Chang Le suggests:
"Then move ......"
Fanny smiled shyly and didn't say anything, but her body immediately cooperated, her arms tightened the trunk behind her, and a pair of ** lifted her and coiled it around Chang Le's waist.
The moment she completed the fit, Fanny snorted, let go of the trunk with both arms, and hugged Changle tightly.
As the two began to "move", the armor began to "squeak" again, and Fanny's chainmail skirt also "rattled", completely covering up the most primitive collision sound.
Chang Le realized from the first charge that the girl was already eagerly waiting for his arrival, no matter what she said, her body's reaction couldn't hide it.
And the clenched arms, the misty eyes, and the desperately restrained humming are also proof.
The mountain wind was howling, the armor was cold, and under the background of these, the extraordinarily moist softness was even more intoxicating.
The intimacy with Fanny is always like this, Changle has a feeling that he will never get tired of possession, on the contrary, every time he enters the delicate body in front of him, it will make the two souls fit more deeply, and will add a bit of warmth to the emotional fire.
The wet place below was cool in the wind, but his body and heart were ablaze.
In the excitement, Chang Le leaned close to Fanny's ear, popping out incoherent words from time to time, pouring out his love to the other party, to the effect that she was his most beloved treasure, and no one in the world could compare.
Fanny just smiled and gasped and nodded, until the peak moment, hummed a string of crying, and then seemed to hold her breath, until a long time later, she whispered in Chang Le's ear:
"You are my treasure too, you are my god......"
When Chang Le heard the word "god", he stopped saying a word, silently buried himself in hard work, and fought with all his strength until he was also sent into the air, straightening and moving, and then fell from the clouds and fell back to Fanny.
Then he sighed.
Fanny asked a little weakly:
"Why sigh?"
Chang Le remained silent, thoughts came to him, and finally asked softly:
"Are you someone who likes me, or is it some kind of god's blood?"
"Loved both. Fanny replied with a smile, turning her gaze to Changle's face, trying to probe his emotions.
"There's one thing, I think, shouldn't be hidden from you......"
Chang Le carefully thought about the words, and spoke slowly, he was definitely not the blood of the gods, and he did not deny this rumor in the past, which caused Fanny to be convinced, and the relationship between the two had already been talked about marriage, and she could not be misunderstood.
Also, he is a pariah and hides his identity in order to go to military school, but he should never hide it from his future wife.
It is true that Fanny said that "untouchables are trash", but the more this is the case, the more it should not be hidden! As long as her love is genuine, untouchability status is not a huge obstacle.
"What's it? Something terrible?"
Fanny's face also became nervous, which in turn made Chang Le even more hesitant, if he really lost Fanny, it would be a result he couldn't imagine.
Could it be that the identity of "untouchable Chang Le" should be buried forever, and he will be "Commoner Chang Sler" from now on?
In the midst of a fierce ideological struggle, suddenly another cry came from the wind.
Fanny didn't react, still staring into Chang Le's eyes, but Chang Le's ears moved, and he became alert.
Different from the terrible "ghost crying" in the mountains, the sound just now was obviously a woman's cry, and the direction was not around the camp, but in the depths of the woods!
Chang Le had no choice but to interrupt his conflict, hurriedly help Fanny sort out her clothes, and then lead her to explore the source of the sound.
It was a very small cave, only allowing one person to bow in and out, and it was easy to find out on weekdays, but the energy in this mountain was disordered, and the wind was too strong, so it was difficult for his hearing, smell, or soul vision to detect this small cave.
At this point, the crying suddenly stopped, and Fanny had already heard the strange movement, and took Chang Le's hand nervously.
Chang Le was silent, made a gesture, and took Fanny back to the camp, and then ordered in a low voice that Fanny would prepare the illumination technique, and the entire fifth class would leave twenty people outside to guard, and the rest would follow him into the cave to search.
When Lola and the others heard about this, their spirits were excited, they were not happy to stay here for two days, and they always wanted to kill more "prey" to improve the performance of the exercise.
The group carried swords and several glowing wands, and entered the cave one after another with high morale.
The cave is extremely deep and wide, and there are obviously many "humanoids" inside, who can hear the sound of chaotic footsteps, running deeper.
Changle They have lighting, but the people in the cave don't, and from time to time you can hear someone tripping, and the difference in the speed of the two sides is not small, and the light of Fanny's wand in her hand soon illuminates a group of ragged humans, a total of about twenty.
When those people saw that they were discovered, they all squatted down in a panic with their heads hugged, and looked at Chang Le and his gang with frightened eyes.
Lola laughed:
"Is this a death row prisoner or a bandit? Don't be wordy, let's kill them all! Cut off your ears and cut off your ears!"
Chang Le's brows furrowed, and he noticed that there were several women in the crowd, one of whom was holding a five- or six-year-old child.
Such a person will certainly not be a bandit, even if it is a family member of a bandit, he will not be guilty of death.
Thin Monkey stepped forward with his sword, ready to be the first to make the move, to wash away the stain of his lack of courage at the beginning of the last battle.
"Master Guanjun, spare your life!" a woman cried, apparently the first cry Chang Le heard came from her.
"Stop!"
Chang Le grabbed the skinny monkey, took the wand of light from Fanny's hand, walked up to the group, and looked at their faces closely.
Changle grew up in a pariah area and is familiar with the physical characteristics of untouchables. He himself was an anomaly, with whiter skin than the average pariah, and a higher bridge of his nose, but still more like a pariah than a commoner or a nobleman.
How could a group of untouchables become bandits or become death row prisoners, so they rarely go out of the city, and can only serve as slaves or coolies in normal times?
Lola and the others are very observant, and they have made the same discovery at this time.
Lola yells:
"This is a bunch of untouchables? Untouchables are so stupid that they can be robbers?"
The thin monkey grinned and replied:
"If you're not stupid, how can you be caught and be the prey of our exercise?"
Duke looked at Chang Le, and made a request in a deep voice:
"Do it, Boss!"
Chang Le was still in shock, and before he could answer Duke's request, he suddenly heard a pariah in the shadows shout:
"Chang Le! I'm not mistaken, are you? You're Chang Le! Stonemason Yongjian's son! You're a little bastard and you're a general?"
