As night falls, the moon shines brightly.

The campfire was thick, and the apes in the distant mountains were howling.

In the military tent, the butter candle is brightly lit, and the high-level officials of the government and the army are all in the list.

"My lord, that ancient tomb has long since collapsed."

Old man Yang pointed to the map and said: "The old man and the Soushan army found this place, there are traces of the foundation in the soil, it should be a small family that escaped the war before Da Chu, and it is of little value..."

I saw that on the map, along the ancient battlefield of the southwest mountains to the north, a lot of marks were densely made all the way until it stopped at the foot of the Kanyuan Mountain Range.

After Old Man Yang finished speaking, Mo Yunxiao, the flag of the Soshan Army, also arched his hand and said: "My lord, today the Soushan Army cleaned up the jungle under the mountain, killed the miasma, the insect monster, and the pig monster, and each entrenched in its territory..."

A disciple of the Taoist Medicine Sect then got up and reported: "My lord, now the soldiers mostly use the meat of demon beasts and flour cakes to satisfy their hunger, there are many poisonous weeds in the river water, and dozens of auxiliary soldiers have been poisoned, and they have boiled medicinal soup to save them..."

"The falcon explored the vicinity for hundreds of miles, and was attacked by a bat monster, two of which were damaged, and no traces of campfire were found..."

Wang Xuanjun was strict in discipline, and he had to summarize every night during the march and assign tasks the next day, and the advantage of this was that all the high-level people were familiar with the big and small things in the army, so that they could be in an orderly manner and not panic when encountering problems.

The most important thing for the government army to open up the wasteland is to explore the resources in the mountains.

It seems that all luck has been exhausted in the southwest mountains, all the way north to the Kanyuan Mountains, only to find a small moon silver mine, and the location is remote, not easy to develop.

Not only that, but the dangers are also gradually increasing, and those evil cults can say that falling rocks and landslides in the mountains, poisonous miasma, and torrential rain and torrents are the biggest dangers faced by the government army.

Fortunately, the disciples of the Taoist doctors who accompanied the army had superb medical skills, and there were no casualties for the time being.

Of course, Wang Xuan also deliberately slowed down the pace of the march so that the sergeants could gradually adapt.

"There should be no demon nests nearby."

After listening to everyone's report, Guo Luquan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The demon nest gathers, and the demon king will inevitably suppress and collect all the monsters, most of them are monsters who do not cultivate their lives, and they each occupy their own territory, it seems that they can live in peace for a while." ”

Mo Yuntian shook his head and said in a deep voice: "You guys, don't be careless. ”

"It is rumored that Tiandu Longshou Mountain is the place where the three emperors of ancient times became enlightened, and then unified the human race in various places, and continued to expand through the magic of sealing the gods, but the wars of the past dynasties have continued, and the territory of the human race has been shrinking."

"Where we are under our feet, maybe there is an ancient city to bury it, and there are probably ancient ruins of the ancient law veins in the surrounding mountains, and many collapsed ancient tombs have been found along the way, but there is no monster that has been inherited by the human race and cultivated the way of life..."

"Where did they go?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into deep thought.

Wang Xuan said in a deep voice: "What does Yuntian mean is that there are powerful monsters in the Kanyuan Mountain Range? ”

"It's just speculation."

Mo Yuntian frowned and said: "Judging the gathering of demons is also a means of exploring spirit mines, after all, where the demon nests are located, most of them are where the earth qi holes are located, and they often wander in the mountains, some of them can smelt demon weapons, and they also need spirit ore resources." ”

"But I heard a rumor in the academy that if a big demon appears, not only will a demon nest be formed, but also a small demon will be sent to patrol the mountains in various places to collect the monsters, and when the super demon nest in Dian Prefecture appears, all the monsters in the entire Duyuan Mountain Range will disappear."

"That's not right!"

Zhang Heng scratched his head and said suspiciously: "Along the way, there are a lot of insect monsters and beasts that cultivate bloodlines, is it possible that the old demon's eyes are on the door of his head, and he can't look down on these?" ”

Mo Yuntian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This... I don't know under either. ”

Wang Xuan pondered: "After all, there is something strange, you must be on guard, stop moving forward tomorrow, repair on the spot, and first send the Eagle Falcon into the Kanyuan Mountain Range to explore." ”

"Yes, sir!"

After everyone left, the tent suddenly fell silent.

Whoa...

The fog dispersed, and the white qin flew out of the painting, sweeping the ashes and grinding ink, making tea and making the bed, and was very busy.

Wang Xuan had long been accustomed to it, and pretended to check the map, but in fact, he had already opened the Heavenly Dao Deduction Disk.

"Haw Par Military Tattoo Law" deduction progress: 93%.

That's right, the reason why he stopped moving forward was to let the soldiers repair, and secondly, he wanted to wait for the completion of this technique deduction and improve his combat power as much as possible before entering the Kanyuan Mountain Range.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan began to seriously check the map.

To be honest, they marched a little faster, and they didn't scout carefully along the way.

From here to the ancient battlefield, the area is as large as five southwest mountains, and if you want to say that there is no hidden mineral vein spirit cave, it is estimated that no one will believe it.

But he had to speed up again.

The Kanyuan Mountain Range is a branch of Tiandu Longshou Mountain, and Qinzhou and the state take this as the boundary, where the earth is surging and surging, and there are many spiritual caves and treasures, not to mention the ancient ruins, which is the focus of land development.

Now it is equivalent to staking land, no matter what Tu Su Ziming entered the mountain for in Qinzhou, once this area is occupied by the other party, he can block the direction of Yong'an.

You must know that Tiandu Longshou Mountain divides nine big dragons to various places, and the Kanyuan Mountain Range alone spans Qinzhou, Bingzhou and Liangzhou, which is the focus of competition between the local government and the army.

The strategic purpose of Wang Xuan's trip was simple, not to find any treasure, but to establish a bridgehead at the entrance to Yong'an in the Kanyuan Mountains.

Xiaobai travels back and forth between the two places every day, and he already knows about Yong'an.

As long as he can gain a foothold in the Kanyuan Mountain Range, it is equivalent to guarding the gate of the state, attacking and retreating, and the rear is naturally stable.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan got up and came to the outside of the military tent to look up.

The Kanyuan Mountains at night are even more mysterious.

Under the light of the huge bright moon, there is a strange halo in the mountain from time to time, and the momentum is thick and vast, like an ancient fierce beast, quietly watching the boundless forest sea.

The Taiyin Gate and the Thief Gate must have already entered.

Curiously, no traces were found along the way.

Gu must know that although these two families are not marching forward in a large army, they are also quite numerous.

Don't......

Wang Xuan suddenly thought of a possibility.

Both of these used feng shui caves to shuttle through the mountains!

……

The next day, when Wang Xuan finished guessing in his heart, everyone immediately looked at each other.

"With the help of the feng shui cave, it is the housekeeping ability of the bloody thief!"

Du Chunni said in a deep voice: "Although the blood-clothed thieves have been annihilated, everyone knows that there are many insiders and there are many fish that have slipped through the net, are they all colluding with them?" ”

Old man Yang shook his head with a big cigarette pole and said, "It's hard to say, since Weng Qing dares to give me the cave compass, this thing must not be rare." ”

"The most feared thing about shuttling through the feng shui cave is to get lost, as long as there is a compass in the cave, you can identify the direction according to the flow of the water qi, and avoid most of the dangers in the mountains.

Wang Xuan said in a deep voice: "No matter what, this matter must be guarded against. ”

"Today, the Soshan Army sent the Eagle Falcon into the Kanyuan Mountain Range."

"In addition, the Dangkou Army sent a team of men and horses, with Yang Lao and a few worshippers, to find out all the entrances of the nearby feng shui caves to see if there were any traces of activity..."

"Yes, sir!"

After the name was given, everyone immediately left the military tent.

After a while, several falcons soared into the sky and flew towards the Kanyuan Mountain Range.

And the old man Yang, who was holding the treasure, also left the camp with Du Chunni with a team of sergeants and entered the dense forest.

Who would have thought that in less than two hours, there would be a discovery.

……

"My lord, this is the place!"

At the bottom of a ravine ten miles away from the barracks, Old Man Yang pointed to a cave and said in a deep voice: "There are two entrances nearby, one of which flows to the east, and is flooded by groundwater, making it impassable. ”

Qi Long hurriedly bowed his hand, "My lord, there is a monster corpse inside, please come with me." ”

After that, when he entered the cave first, Wang Xuan led people to follow.

Feng Shui caves are broadly divided into two types.

One has a shorter formation time, usually with groundwater pulse brushes, and dense stalactites are formed even in places where there is no groundwater inundation.

One is ancient, the water veins have long been changing, although it is wet, but it is passable, such is the case in the cave in front of you, the ground is smooth and smooth, and there are even moss mushrooms growing.

As soon as he entered the cave, Wang Xuan noticed an abnormality.

The air was not only damp, but also filled with the smell of monsters.

After walking hundreds of meters, a stalactite in a fork collapsed and shattered, and the smell of corpses came to the face.

Qi Long held the torch and shook it, and a corpse suddenly appeared in front of him, about three meters long, with a fat and greasy body, purple skin, huge soles and palms, black hair, and hideous fangs.

It's the corpse of a mountain monster.

This thing has a human form, it is a monster in the mountain, "Dayan Sou Shan Tu" records, often haunts the cave, captives pedestrians and devours, there are many kinds, the temperament is irritable and bloody, it is rumored that there is the blood of the ancient giant, the shape is similar to the mandrill, but it is not one-legged.

It's just that the mountain monster in front of him has white eyes, his mouth is full of dirty blood, and there is a black palm print on his chest, which has obviously been dead for a long time.

"It's the yin hand of the Taiyin Gate."

Guo Luquan sneered: "This technique is very evil, you have to use corpse oil to wash your hands every day, and after refining, you can gather the corpse qi in the palm of your hand. ”

Wang Xuan nodded, and then his face became gloomy:

"It seems that Mo Yuntian guessed correctly."

Mountain monsters have human shapes, but behave more like wild beasts, and most of them are unclothed.

But the mountain monster in front of him was not only carrying a hideous machete in his hand, but also wearing huge leather armor, which was obviously made according to his body shape.

"My lord, this is a mountain monster."

Qi Long unloaded something from his waist and offered it with both hands.

Wang Xuan took a look, but it was a waist card made of black copper, as thick as an arm, and a weird vertical eye was embossed on it.

Old man Yang took the cave compass around a few times, stared at the depths of the cave and said in a deep voice: "My lord, this place leads to the Kanyuan Mountain Range, shall we also enter the exploration?" ”

Wang Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, "No, there must be a demon nest in the mountain, the situation is unknown, don't provoke it for the time being, send someone to ambush around, and notify me immediately if there is any movement!" ”

……

After learning that there was a demon nest in the Kanyuan Mountain Range, Wang Xuan became even more vigilant.

Being able to set up a flag in such a place, and equipping the mountain monster with weapon leather armor, even if the technique is crude, is obviously already a trend.

Tu Su's family, the thief's door, the Taiyin Gate, the unknown demon nest, and the mysterious Dragon and Tiger Generalissimo Helian Cheng Temple, the Kanyuan Mountain Range obviously hides a lot of secrets.

Fortunately, for three consecutive days, there was no movement in the cave.

And "Dragon and Tiger Military Pattern Method" has finally been deduced and promoted.
