Chapter 282: The Light of the World
Wu Yan stepped on the wet lichen and walked carefully towards the bottom of the valley. From time to time, rats leap past their feet, catching flying insects in the valley.
Descending to the bottom of the valley, a fishy smell came to his face, and in a hazy way, Wu Jian carefully groped along the valley bottom. Many of these vigilantes who have been poisoned by the evil spirit have lost their minds, so they must be on guard.
There was a rapid running sound in front, coming straight to this side, and Wu Yan gently held the hilt of the knife. A cloud of black mist rushed in, and a monster appeared in the fog. He had six or seven hands, a conch on his back, and a human head at the front of his body, and a huge mouth, revealing his sharp teeth.
"Addo." Wu Qian asked tentatively.
The monster was also stunned, ran around Wu Jian a few times, and immediately jumped up with joy, and let out an incoherent strange cry from his mouth.
Wu Yan patted Addo's head, "Let's go, take me to see your elders."
Ado pointed to his body and motioned for Wu Gen to sit up. With a long roar, he carried Wu Qian along the valley. When I got to a place full of caves, I didn't stop, but quickly climbed up the cliff wall.
Wu Gan carefully looked at the caves he passed, many of them were empty, and it was obvious that the people who lived in them had died. In the past two years, so many soldiers have left, and Wu Gan's heart is a little heavy.
When he arrived at the place where he had discussed with the four elders that day, Wu Yan chuckled in his heart, and in the dim light, one of them was lying quietly in it.
"Elder. I'm Wu Gan, and I'm here to keep my promise." Wu Yan jumped into the cave and walked in front of this person. I can vaguely recognize that this is the old man who talked to me that day. At this time, his face was dark, his arms were as rugged as a dead tree, and he could no longer speak.
Seeing Wu Gan, the old man's eyes were a little confused, and it was only after a long time that there was some light, and his arm slowly raised, but it fell down again.
Wu Yan gently lifted it up, took out the tin pot containing the potion, and poured four drops into his mouth with some trepidation.
To be honest, Wu Jian didn't know if the diluted chalcedony was really functional, after all, it was just Zhu Yu's words.
At the entrance of the potion, after less than a cup of tea, the old man's body stiffened, and black gas gushed out from his mouth and nose, and then black smoke billowed from all over his body.
Ah, the old man let out a miserable cry, his body twisted sharply, gushing out something like stench like slime, and his hand, which was originally like a chicken's claw, slowly deformed and turned into a normal human hand.
Wu Jian hurriedly held down the old man with Ado to prevent him from harming himself.
Looking at his body that was still writhing, a cold sweat broke out on Wu Gan's forehead. According to Mu Ji, due to the unknown medicinal properties, it is advisable for each person to need no more than three drops of medicinal water, so he was afraid that the medicinal properties would not be enough, but he poured four drops into it, so as not to do bad things with good intentions at that time.
There was a sound of rustling at the entrance of the cave, and monsters appeared at the entrance of the cave one by one, and when they saw the old man who was still struggling, they stared at Wu Yan viciously, and they rushed to break in.
Ado glanced at Wu Gen hesitantly, but he suddenly got up and rushed to the entrance of the cave, desperately stopping the monsters who wanted to pounce on Wu Gen. After a while, wounds appeared on Ado's body, and black mucus fell from time to time.
Wu Yan glanced back at Ado gratefully, paying attention to the old man's dynamics. Finally, the black qi on the old man's body became thinner, and the black on his face faded and gradually quieted down.
With a snap, a grasshopper-shaped monster bypassed Ado, its jagged front paws slashing towards Wu Gan. Wu Gan dodged and kicked out, and the monster flew towards the entrance of the cave, and knocked down many monsters clustered at the entrance of the cave.
"Elder, wake up quickly, if you don't wake up, I'll have to run away." When he was anxious, Wu Jian didn't care much, and slapped the old man in the face twice with his hand. It would be a big joke to be crushed here by these thugs today.
Finally, the old man opened his eyes, looked at the noisy hole, and immediately understood everything. Waving his hand slightly, "I'm fine, just stand down."
The monsters looked at each other, but they also obeyed the order, and left along the cliff wall, and calm was restored at the entrance of the cave.
Wu Yan sat on the ground with his butt and finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this Xuanning chalcedony is really useful.
Addo crawled with a bitter face
Next to the old man, he was already covered in scars. He was originally infinitely powerful, but he was reluctant to make a heavy hand on his clansmen, and his body was dripping with mucus.
The old man looked at his hands, which were still thin but had returned to normal, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Over the years, the three old friends have left, and many of the soldiers in the valley have gone. Originally, he estimated that he would not live long, so he could only lie in the cave and wait for death, but he was pulled back by Wu Gengsheng and recovered his body. Surprised, but sad from it.
"The sky has eyes." The old man took Wu Gan's hand and sobbed, almost fainting.
"Hey, hey, elder, don't do this, the best days are yet to come, and we have to heal the others." Wu Yan was afraid that the old man would pull over, so he quickly diverted his attention.
"Yes, yes, yes, I almost missed a big thing. Ado, help me up, we are saved." The old man was so excited that he helped Wu Gen to stand up and lay on Ado.
Three days later, Yang Zheng was bored and threw stones into the air, trying to smash the annoying black crow down. The crow spun abruptly, pulled a bubble of gooey stuff, and flew high.
Yang Zheng touched the bird feces on his face, and his face became even darker. Turning his head, Mu Ji was still sitting motionless on the edge of the valley. For three days, this person didn't eat or drink, just sat dry, and it was really boring.
Suddenly, Yang Zheng saw Mu Ji open his eyes and get up and look towards the valley. Hurriedly ran back to the edge of the valley, just glanced at it, his eyes gradually widened, and a shocking scene appeared in front of him.
In the thick black mist, Wu Yan came out, followed by a big-headed young man. This person is quite strange-looking, with a big head like a bucket, an extremely wide mouth, long ears, and a piece of markings the size of a copper coin on his body.
From there, a small, naked figure appeared from the black mist. Some of them were visibly disabled, blind or missing, or had strange limbs, or even more could only see human figures, being carried on their backs, climbing up the cliff wall.
Although Xuanning chalcedony has a miraculous effect on the poison of adverse qi, some soldiers have been poisoned for a long time, even if the poison is removed, but some body defects can not be reversed by medicine.
Wu Gan used a broken knife to keep trimming the cliffs in front, which had not been passed by for many years, and was overgrown with strange plants and lichens. If they don't open a way out, how can these frail warriors climb out?
The people behind him, along the path he cut out, silently step by step, stepped out of the black fog, and walked towards the world.
There was silence all around, except for the sound of knives and stones colliding, the sound of tearing grass and trees, and the sound of feet kicking on rocks. These warriors knew where they were going, but they were still cautious, even a little afraid, that it was just a dream and that they would wake up from it if they were not careful.
Thrown into the valley for many years, he finally thought that this dark canyon was his own tomb, and never thought that one day, the ghost would crawl out of the grave and return to the warm world.
Seeing this dull and depressing picture, Yang Zheng trembled all over, and hurriedly walked back and forth on the top of the valley, as if there was an irrepressible volcano in his abdomen about to erupt. Even Mu Ji, who has always been quiet, couldn't help but be moved, and a tear came down from the corner of his eye.
Finally, the vast ground appeared in front of him, and the rising sun in the distance sprinkled pity and warmth on the body of the soldier.
When they climbed to the top of the valley, under the response of Mu Ji and Yang Zheng, they finally picked up the more than 300 people one by one.
Sitting on the solid, clear ground, bathed in the light of the world, these warriors finally could not be restrained. Crying, laughing, madness, silence, all kinds of emotions are transmitted through the crowd.
It's good to be alive.
It's good to be human.
The world, it's so good.
Wu Qian looked at the rising sun in the distance, and suddenly raised his head and laughed, and the laughter spread far away, startling away the black crows in the air.
"Thanksgiving." Under the leadership of the old man, the soldiers knelt down to Wu Gan in unison, and their voices were uneven at first, gradually becoming neat, and finally turned into a torrent, breaking through the morning mist.
"Get up and go." Wu Gen was not hypocritical, and with a wave of his hand, he led the more than 300 people to the east with Mu Ji and Yang Zheng.
As previously agreed, these men returned to their original homeland
Unlikely, Wu Gan was ready to place them all in a hundred miles north of the barren tomb.
According to Yu Shou, although it is also barren, there is water and soil in the end, and he can survive with his hands. Moreover, it is also relatively close to Bao'an County, so it is relatively easy to replenish.
In the wind and sand, a strange team appeared, these people were either on crutches, or on support, and some simply crawled on the ground, led by a cheerful boy, and went resolutely to the east.
Wu Gan's smile did not disappear along the way, and from time to time he teased Ado beside him, that is, the big-headed young man. He has lived in the dark valley since he was a child, and when he looks old, his mind is no different from that of a child.
Yu Shou had already caught a car to pick it up, with some food and water on it. These soldiers living in the dark valley are already very weak, and if there are no supplies, I don't know how many people will fall on the way.
Thanks to Wu Gan, he brought some daily necessities into the original, otherwise how could there be something to support so many people. Even so, Wu Jian had to go out again to purchase some prescriptions, after all, everything from houses and fields to basic living utensils needed to be made up little by little.
As he was walking, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of him. Soon, the sound of hooves became louder and denser, and a group of riders wearing crow-head masks came out of the wind and sand, and saw that the size of them was more than 100 people.
These people gathered around without saying a word, and sandwiched Wu Yan and the team behind him from both sides. Silently stared at Wu Gan who was at the front of the team.
The two cloaked men urged the horses to come out and blocked the direction of the procession, and the cold gaze behind the black gauze fell on Wu Gan.
Looking at this familiar outfit, Wu Jian didn't know how the people from the Zhengling League were coming. The black crow's non-stop tracking along the way let Wu Gen know that sooner or later there would be such a day. However, he didn't have any mortal enmity with Yun Ming, why did he react like this.
These people should be directed against themselves, and they cannot deal with these incapable soldiers. Thinking of this, Wu Gen slowly pulled out the broken knife.
Ado also seemed to sense the hostility of these people, and jumped in front of Wu Gan, grinning at these crow-faced people and letting out a low roar.
Wu Gan grabbed Addo and pushed him back into the group, provocatively lifting his chin at the two cloaked men, turning around and walking away from the group. After experiencing the Great Relic Continent, Wu Gen is really not afraid of these people, and he can't beat them.
The crow-faced people were a little unusual, and they rode their horses to surround Wu Gan.
At this moment, Mu Ji grabbed Wu Gan, grabbed a handful of soil and sprinkled it on him. After doing all this, Mu Ji took the lead and walked in front.
Seeing all this, the crow-faced people were a little commotion, and they all looked at the two people wearing cloaks, but no one stepped forward to stop them.
Mu Ji didn't say a word, and slowly moved forward against the wind and sand, on both sides of the long line. The crow-faced man whispered, but he was a little further away from the shabby rank. Some people even threw food at these soldiers, who looked rather thin and slanted when the wind blew.
On the field where the wind was howling, this team of more than 300 people, almost powerless, slowly moved forward under the gaze of the crow-faced man, and walked straight to the two people in cloaks.
When they were only a few steps apart, the opponent's sword was finally lowered, and the two cloaked men silently moved out of the way.
