Chapter 113: Crisis Comes

This is Qiushui's first time in the army, so along the way, he has always maintained a rather excited state, looking around, and even leaving the team without permission several times, just so that the beautiful scenery in front of him is not obscured by the black oppressive crowd. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Fortunately, their team leader didn't bother to care about him, and he hummed a little song when he had nothing to do there, which was quite pleasant.

Starting from Rain City, they headed southwest. It may be that the route was well chosen, and after walking for several days, it was still in the plain area, which undoubtedly greatly accelerated the speed of the march. The only thing that made Qiushui a little dissatisfied was that the food in the army was too unpalatable, and every meal was dried beef and mutton, which felt fresh at first, but later I wanted to vomit when I smelled it. Fortunately, they also passed through several market towns on the way, and sometimes the army would stop and send people to the towns to buy some necessities. At this time, Qiushui will ask the transport soldiers to buy some fresh fruits to satisfy their hunger.

Because they were in the same group as Lin Lin and Yan Boshu, a few people on the road talked and laughed, but they didn't feel too boring. It's just that I sit on horseback and toss and turn every day, and I inevitably feel back pain after a long time. Every night, they would set up their tents and camp in a place with a wide view. When everyone is falling asleep, Qiushui will find a quiet place to concentrate on cultivation. As Lord Rain said, after experiencing this trip to Dragon and Tiger Mountain, although there were many difficulties, he also made a breakthrough at the moment of life and death, coupled with the hard work of cultivation every night, the volume of the Yuan Shen at this moment has almost decreased to two-thirds of the original.

At the same time, Qiushui felt that he had a clearer understanding of the world, whether it was the rhythm of the wind or the flow of water, many things that he had not paid attention to before came to mind. Although this is still a hazy feeling, he can be sure that as long as he continues to work hard, he may be able to reach the level of subtlety in the near future! Although it is only a level difference between Dacheng and Jinxiao, this is a sign of whether you have really stepped into the ranks of the strong. Take a country as an example, it is not uncommon for the number of Dacheng people to reach hundreds, but there are often only twenty or thirty strong people at the subtle level, or even less. It can also be seen from this that cultivation is not so easy, and many times it is just such a small distance, but it takes a whole life to fill it.

After a few more days of such an ordinary and insipid time, Qiushui and they finally gradually approached the border of the rain country. In fact, he felt a little strange, in order to go to Yucheng, he and Zhu Jue trekked all the way through the mountains and rivers, and there were many dangers, and in the journey of more than a month, they almost lost their lives many times. But this time, it was only ten days of effort, and it was all the way across half of the rain country unimpeded, and it seemed that it was safer to go out with more people. When it's free, I really want to go back to Blackwater City.

As the army marched, hills began to appear on both sides, but they were bare, devoid of vegetation, and desolate. In the same way, the road beneath the people's feet began to become bumpy and difficult to walk.

"Looks like there's the Grand Canyon of Earl ahead. Looking at the changes in the surrounding scenery, Lin Lin said with understanding.

"Where is that?" Qiushui asked hurriedly.

Yan Boshu deliberately made a very exaggerated expression, covered his mouth and said, "Oh my God, Qiushui, you don't even know about the Grand Canyon of Earl?

"Nonsense, I know what else to ask?" Qiushui blushed, thinking to himself that if he read less, he was destined to be ridiculed? If he had a child in the future, he must be allowed to study hard.

"This Earl Canyon is the highest altitude, the largest vertical drop, and the longest canyon in Shikoku. It is located on the southwestern border of the Rain Country, and when you walk out of this canyon, you will find a dark ancient forest in front of you. Yan Boshu explained slowly, but when he said the last few words, his eyelids jumped involuntarily, as if he remembered some terrible experience.

Sure enough, within a day, everyone entered the Grand Canyon of Earl. I saw that the narrow road was surrounded by steep rock walls on both sides, and the entire sky was blocked by the mountains, leaving only a thin gap, giving the people in it a heavy sense of oppression. Through the light of the torches, you can see that on the cliffs on both sides, there are many small holes more than one person high, densely packed and do not know where to lead, the wind passes through the canyon, making a terrible whistling sound, fortunately at this moment how brave people are, otherwise they must be scared to death. Before entering the canyon, the commander-in-chief Haodong specially told everyone to pay attention to safety, after all, this is not like the plain, once there is any danger, it is really difficult to fly.

It is estimated that it will take about two and a half days to pass through this canyon. Since there were no incidents on the first day, everyone gradually relaxed their guards and began to talk and laugh there. Only Qiushui didn't know why, he kept looking around with a serious expression, as if he was guarding against something.

"Qiushui, what's wrong?" Seeing him like this, Lin Lin asked with some concern.

"Ah, nothing, just that it always feels like something is staring at us. ”

"Don't worry about it, look at the grass around you, and there will be nothing else except the eagle that happens to fly in the sky. Lin Lin comforted. Qiushui nodded, thinking that maybe he was really too careful.

That night, for some reason, news came from the troops at the front, saying that there was no rest and that the team was moving forward at the same speed. For a while, there were complaints around, don't look at these soldiers riding horses all day long, it seems to be very relaxed, but in fact, the consumption of physical strength is also very huge. Besides, even if people don't rest, horses need to replenish energy. In this way, after coordination, it was agreed that everyone should rest in place for two hours, but it was strictly forbidden to leave the team alone, and the sentries were also required to maintain a high degree of vigilance.

They also dismounted and rested against the rock wall on one side. Yan Boshu took a sip of water, and suddenly turned his head and asked the two: "You say, why is Haodong in such a hurry?"

"I guess I want to get to the battlefield early. After all, the Yan Country is grim at the moment, if you go there with all the hard work, only to find that the entire country has been occupied by the rebels, wouldn't everything be over?" Lin Lin thought for a moment and replied.

"There must be a reason for this, but I think it may not be that simple, maybe Captain Haodong has discovered that there is some danger hidden here. Qiushui offered a different view.

Yan Boshu nodded, agreeing with Qiushui's opinion. Lin Lin advised them not to think too complicated, even if there was danger, what was there to be afraid of so many people? Even if the other party was a god descending from the earth, they would have to be beaten into meatloaf. It's better to take a break and soon they'll be on their way. Hearing Lin Lin say that, Qiu Shui also felt sleepy all of a sudden, it seemed that he had spent too much time cultivating at night in the past few days, which had resulted in a serious lack of sleep. In this way, several people leaned on each other and soon fell asleep.

"Autumn water, wake up, wake up. In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Qiushui slowly opened his eyes. Strangely, for some reason, there was a haze in front of him, only a vague shadow, constantly shaking his shoulder.
