Chapter 617: Stone Forest

Walking in the swamp is tedious and very laborious.

Although the wooden planks tied to their feet allowed the soldiers to march in the swamp, after walking in the muddy swamp for a long time, the soldiers were also physically and mentally exhausted.

Even if it is a pack of ghost wolves, there are often ghost wolves stuck in the quagmire and unable to extricate themselves.

If it weren't for them biting the tail of a ghost wolf in front of them one by one, I'm afraid that they would have lost a lot of ghost wolves.

Even so, there are still dozens of ghost wolves buried in this swamp.

Moreover, not only the ghost wolf, but also the loss of some soldiers.

The mud in the swamp is not everywhere with aquatic plants growing on it, and some places are very sticky, and if you accidentally step on the wrong place, you will get stuck in it.

Some of the soldiers writhed in the swamp, trying to climb out. But as everyone knows, the more you struggle, the deeper you sink.

Because of this, some soldiers were suffocated to death by the muddy and sticky muddy water in the swamp before they could wait for someone to rescue.

Among them, there are two of Guan Xiang's subordinates, Ku Ming and Ye Tao.

The strength of the two of them is just an innate martial artist, and they have long been exhausted from running in the swamp.

Although Hou Chi had already sent someone to protect the two, in this swamp, everyone was an ordinary person, and they couldn't extricate themselves if they fell into it. If you can't save yourself first, not only will you not be able to save people, but you will put yourself in it.

Ku Ming and Ye Tao's death made Guan Xiang sad for a while.

However, he was a martial artist after all, and after being sad for a while, he buried the two in this swamp.

All the dead soldiers were buried in the Lonely Tooth Swamp.

It's frustrating, but it has to be.

After walking for more than half a month in the Lone Tooth Swamp, he finally came to a stone forest in a Lone Tooth Swamp.

The stone forests in the Lone Tooth Swamp are neither tall nor large, much smaller and shorter than those in Tempest Bay.

However, the stone forest that the Thorn Clan came to is very wide and very dense.

As far as the eye can see, countless stone forests are scattered in front of you.

The Thorn army did not stop, but headed straight into the stone forest.

When Yan Yin informed the whole army of the situation ahead, everyone was excited.

Because it means that they can finally get out of the sticky, dirty, smelly swamp under their feet for a while.

Before flying, Yan Yin tested the solidity of these stone pillars.

I shook it vigorously and found that these stone pillars were still very strong.

In this stone forest, the distance between the stone pillars is not very far, and it is only about a few feet.

After a deep groan, Yan Yin looked at Hou Chi and said, "Tell everyone to go down and let everyone go up to the stone pillar." Also, keep all those planks, maybe they will be useful in the future. ”

Nodding, Hou Chi immediately conveyed Yan Yin's order.

In less than half a day's work, not only did all the soldiers stand on a stone pillar.

And the ghost wolves also found their respective masters, and carried them to stand on the stone pillars.

"Commander, shall we continue to follow up or rest for a few days?" In the stone forest, Hou Chi and Datou and the others stood on the nearby stone pillars, looked at Yan Yin and Su Yanying, who were riding the Ghost Wolf King, and asked.

Glancing at the sky, it was approaching nightfall, and the weather seemed to be getting less good, and the wind was starting to blow.

It seems that there will be a heavy rain coming.

"Let's rest for two days," Yan Yin said, "let everyone recover their strength." As for the Thorn Clan's side, don't panic, they won't be able to go far. Yeonying will help us keep an eye on them, and it's not hard to find them. ”

This night, the wind blew very strongly, and the heavy rain also fell all night.

The torrential rain not only washed away the dirt and stench on all the soldiers and ghost wolves, but also brought a long-lost freshness to everyone.

It's just that the heavy rain doesn't seem to stop, and it keeps falling.

At dawn the next day, the heavy rain showed no signs of abating, but became more rapid.

If it weren't for the size of the Lonely Tooth Swamp to allow the rain to flow elsewhere, the stone forest would have been flooded by the rising muddy water.

"Commander, it looks like it's going to be raining for a while. If it goes down like this, I'm afraid some soldiers will get sick. Hou Chi said, "We discussed it, can we go inside?"

After a deep groan, Yan Yin said, "Walking in the rain, I'm afraid it's a bit dangerous." ”

"It's okay, let's slow down and move slowly. Hou Chi said: "Besides, the stone pillars in this stone forest are relatively neat, and the distance between them is not very long. The soldiers under his command can take advantage of their strength with a slight leap, and with the help of the ghost wolf, it shouldn't be a problem. ”

Looking at Su Yanying, who had opened a cover with her true qi to keep the rain out, Yan Yin asked, "Yanying, what do you think?"

Su Yanying said, "This is also the only way at present, I just investigated, and the Thorn Clan is already thirty miles away." And this stone forest is very large, and there are stone forests for the first five hundred miles. After passing through the Stone Forest, it seems that it is not a Lonely Tooth Swamp, but a different place. It's just that there seems to be something in the way of my spiritual sense. ”

"Five hundred miles away," Yan Yin pondered, "If it's not a Lonetooth Swamp, it should be where the Giant Clan lives." ”

"That's right," Su Yanying said, "This stone forest is surrounded by the outside, it is about five hundred miles wide, but thousands of miles long, and my spiritual sense has not swept to the end of the stone forest." In addition, I found many people from the Giant Palm Clan in the Stone Forest, and they lived in the Stone Forest. As for Gu Li and Uncle Hanqing, I didn't find this. ”

Nodding, Yan Yin said, "In that case, let's go." First find the Giant Palm Clan through the Thorn Clan, and then ask the Giant Palm Clan about General Zhennan. ”

When the army set out, everyone either rode the ghost wolf and jumped on the stone forest, or they relied on their own strength to jump quickly in the stone forest.

Compared to in the swamp, the speed of jumping on this stone forest is much faster.

However, in order to follow the Thorns, the army has always slowed down as much as possible.

The rain was still falling, but the Thorns seemed excited.

They were armed with long spikes, and their mouths kept screaming from their mouths.

And a barbarian of the Thorn Tribe, led by him, held the horn of the head of the Thorn Tribe, Qi He, and blew it from time to time.

The sound of the horn is very sharp, even in the rain, it can be heard clearly from a distance of dozens of miles.

Seven days later, the heavy rain finally stopped, and Yan Yin's subordinates also followed the Thorn Tribes to a place hundreds of miles deep to the west of the Stone Forest.

After the soldiers once again ate the birds summoned by the White Lady, Yan Yin ordered Hou Chi and the other nine martial kings to lead a team each and divide into several routes.

Because at this time, the Thorn Clan has already faced off with the Giant Palm Clan.

After a month or two of the thorn tribesmen trekking through mountains and rivers, not only did they not have any sense of exhaustion, but they were all excited, and they kept making a shrill cry.

The Giant Palm Clan had already heard the horn of the Thorn Clan, and many of the Giant Palm Barbarians who were originally scattered near the Stone Forest had gathered together at this time, all looking at the Thorn Clan with unkind expressions.

Riding the Ghost Wolf King, Yan Yin and Su Yanying hid behind a stone forest, quietly observing the situation in the field.

The giant palm clan uses its unique giant palm to walk on the ground in the swamp, which is very chic.

And the Thorn Clan is not bad, the planks tied to their feet give them the same function as the Giant Palm Clan.

At this moment, the new leader of the Thorn Clan, the man with the horn, stepped forward and began to speak loudly to the people in the Giant Palm Clan.

And the people of the Giant Palm Clan also stepped out of a barbarian with a large body, very wide soles of feet and palms, and talked to the new leader of the Thorn Clan.

After talking back and forth between the two, the barbarian who looked like the leader of the Giant Palm Clan waved his hand, and then the barbarians of the Giant Palm Clan who had gathered together dispersed one after another.

The new leader of the Thorn Tribe, blowing the horn, led all the Thorn Barbarians to continue their journey.

"Huh?" Yan Yin looked at this scene strangely, turned her head to look at Su Yanying, and said, "What's going on, do you understand?"

Nodding, Su Yanying said, "The one who holds the horn is the new patriarch of the Thorn Clan, and the one opposite is the patriarch of the Giant Palm Clan. Although the Giant Palm Clan all live in the Lonely Tooth Swamp, there are many ethnic groups. And the group that the Thorn Clan is looking for, that is, the group where Gu Li is located, is not this one. And the patriarch of the Giant Palm Clan, after learning of the Thorn Clan's intention, pointed out to him the location of the Gul tribe. ”

"Oh," Yan Yin asked, "where is that Giant Palm clan in Guli?"

"Just to the west of this Giant Palm Clan, there is a third Giant Palm Clan. Su Yanying explained, "In other words, the Thorn Clan still has to pass through the two Giant Palm Clan's clans before they can reach the Giant Palm Clan's clan where Gu Li is. ”

Yan Yin said, "This giant palm clan is just like us humans, each race is a big family. Each family only protects its own family interests, and does not care about the affairs of other families. This Thorn Clan still has a heart, and only goes towards the Giant Palm Clan where Gu Li is located, and does not conflict with other Giant Palm Clan. Otherwise, such a small number of people will probably have to be buried in this lonely tooth swamp. ”

Watching the Thorn Thorn Clan move towards the deeper part of the Stone Forest through the territory of this Giant Palm Clan's clan, Yan Yin looked at Su Yanying and said, "Inform Hou Chi and let everyone surround this Giant Palm Clan." If you can ask for the news of General Zhennan from their mouths, you don't need to continue to follow the Thorn Clan. ”

Soon, with the assistance and command of Su Yanying, Hou Chi and the black-clothed soldiers led by Datou surrounded the Giant Palm Clan that had not yet dispersed at a very fast speed.

Facing the army that appeared on the stone forest, the Giant Palm Clan looked very panicked.

The patriarch of the Giant Palm Clan, who had spoken to the new leader of the Thorn Clan, stood up again, looked at the people around him, and spoke loudly in the barbarian language that Yan Yin couldn't understand.

"He asked us who we were and why we were surrounding them. Su Yanying looked at Yan Yin and said, "Moreover, he wants to talk to the general of your team, that is, you." ”

Driven by the Ghost Wolf King, Yan Yin and Su Yanying came to the front of the Giant Palm Clan.

Looking at the Ghost Wolf King who was stepping on the black flames, the patriarch of the Giant Palm Clan looked very stunned, and after seeing Su Yanying and Yan Yin sitting on it, he hurriedly asked.

And Su Yanying started a conversation with him.

After a stick of incense, the conversation between Su Yanying and the patriarch of the giant palm clan finally ended.

Turning his gaze at Yan Yin, he said, "He said, it is true that an army has passed through here. Not to the west, though, but to the south. ”

"South?" looked south, and that was what Su Yanying said was a place beyond the Lonely Tooth Swamp that the spiritual sense could not sweep.
