Secondly, General Nan Ke also found that the Baling army did not follow into the Ghost Needle Stone Forest, so the Panlong City Army had to change its strategy and gather together to give full play to its numerical advantage to resist the invasion of the crypt spiders.

"There's an outlet, but the river doesn't go there." The guide silently calculated the distance in his heart, "After we go ashore, we will have to walk a few more miles to reach the assembly place marked by the fireworks, and then walk more than ten miles to the northeast exit." ”

The Ghost Needle Stone Forest is quite vast.

Wicker scolded, "Damn", "If you can grab the ghost needle stone forest, you may be able to break out of the encirclement of the Baling people in advance." ”

"Maybe the Baling people have already set a trap." He Lingchuan looked around at Siye, "If I am General Nanke, I am not in a hurry to get out of the Ghost Needle Stone Forest." Crypt spiders are difficult opponents, and the Balingians don't want to venture in. ”

"If we can find a way to deal with the Crypt Spiders." Liu Tong frowned, "This ghost place always makes my heart beat. ”

The light was dim, and everyone could not see the specific movements of the spiders, but they could hear the rustle of their long legs across the dead branches and leaves. If you summarize it a lot, it will be creepy.

A businessman couldn't help but ask, "Do these things want to follow us all the way?" ”

How dare that living man go ashore?

No one has answered this question, and can only take one step at a time.

The patrol guard Sun Jiayuan happened to be walking beside He Lingchuan, and there were many spider-eaten wounds on his wrists and neck. He Lingchuan glanced at him and suddenly asked, "Why don't you have your fingers?" ”

Imagine the Chinese network

He noticed that Sun Jiayuan was missing tail fingers in both palms.

Others have ten fingers, and he only has eight left.

Sun Jiayuan was silent.

Just when He Lingchuan thought that this person was not going to reply, he opened his mouth again: "A few years ago, the two praying mantis became demons after eating the emperor's slurry, and their guillotines were very sharp. ”

He Lingchuan let out a long "oh".

It's such a coincidence that the tail fingers of both hands were cut off by the mantis demon? But the tail finger that does not hinder the work and the battle is the least?

It seems that there is a story about this person, but He Lingchuan didn't ask any more.

After a while, the smell of burnt smoke came from the wind.

The further I went, the thicker and heavier the burnt smell became, and everyone was choked and coughed.

The group even saw a large area of burned bush by the river.

Now it can only be called the wreckage of the jungle: there is scorched black soil everywhere, and the soil has even been burned to crystals.

If you go to the center of the Ghost Needle Stone Forest, the scene will become more and more tragic.

"That's not good." Wicker muttered, "The Baling people set fire to the forest, probably burning down the old nest of the crypt spiders, no wonder they are furious. ”

These spider demons probably can't tell the difference between Baling and Panlong City, anyway, humans burned their lair, and the object of their revenge is humans.

She rolled her eyes at the merchant who had spoken earlier, "See, the spider's nest was destroyed before it went crazy and hurt people." Under normal circumstances, it is no problem which guide leads the way. ”

The merchant was speechless, Sun Jiayuan glanced at her gratefully, and scolded the merchant a few words, which was out of his previous anger.

This time, the other party didn't dare to fight back. He also counted on the patrolmen to take him out of the danger zone.

After wading through the water for another half hour, the destroyed jungle and crypt slowly decreased. According to the guide, this is already close to the center of the Ghost Needle Stone Forest, and the crypt spider never lets humans travel to and from the Stone Forest by *** time, and they dare not take this road.

There are more cave spiders here and bigger ones, and He Lingchuan occasionally saw a few huge figures in the spider group, but unfortunately the sky was unknown and he couldn't see the whole picture.

Seeing that the spiders on the shore were gathering more and more, and they began to stack arhats, Liu Tong was also beating drums in his heart, and finally ordered to extinguish the torch.

He Lingchuan and his party waded through the water in the dark.

However, after the fire was extinguished, the agitation on the shore did decrease. Although they have more than a dozen eyes, most spiders can only perceive changes in light, but their eyesight is very poor, and they mainly rely on their sense of smell and hearing.

Everyone continued to move forward, and on the way, they also met a half-sized wild boar standing in the middle of the river drinking water, looking at the size of a hundred catties at most, probably also frightened by the spider swarm.

He Lingchuan snatched the boar alive with the door panel, tied its hooves with ropes and threw it on the horse's back, and stuffed a piece of cloth in its mouth to prevent its cry from being too terrible in the silence of the night.

After walking for another hour, he reached the end of this journey—

Another deep pool.

Directly above is a five-foot waterfall.

The cliff is steep, even if the guards can climb up, the caravan and the carriage can't go up, so it is unrealistic to continue to go up, so they can only go ashore here and go east, and rush to the meeting place designated by General Nanke.

In the past two hours, the pyrotechnic arrows that were used as signals have appeared three more times, guiding the warriors in the darkness.

Along the way, everyone passed several turbulent rocky beaches, and they were also soaked wet. Perhaps it was the sound of the grumpy water that drowned out the sound of the centaurs advancing, and there were fewer and fewer spiders trailing them.

When we reached the deep pool, there were no more spiders on the shore.

The guide estimated the distance, and his face was full of joy: "At most, three miles will be able to converge the large army!" ”

Of course, he was referring to three miles in a straight line.

"It's better to be cautious." The shadows of the trees on the shore are shaking, who knows if there are monsters hidden inside? This is where wild boars come in handy.

He Lingchuan untied it, and this guy just hit the ground with four hooves, and before he had time to stretch his muscles, he stepped on the water and rushed to the shore.

It crackled, breaking branches as it fled, and a grunt of displeasure came from near and far.

The people stood in the middle of the river and listened with bated breath.

There was no rustle of spiders walking on the shore, and wild boars not far away were still running wildly, and it seemed that nothing had happened to them.

Only then did Liu Tong order: "Go ashore and go to the assembly place." ”

They did not dare to delay, and when they came ashore, they galloped on their horses and headed east.

￥￥￥￥￥

The northeastern river valley of the Ghost Needle Stone Forest, the place where fireworks are set off.

General Nan Ke's army was reorganized here, and in the past few hours, more than 1,300 people have rushed here to converge, including more than 900 Panlong soldiers and more than 400 merchants.

Although everyone arrived here looking embarrassed, wounded, and with cobwebs in their hair, they miraculously saved seventy percent of the goods.

At present, it has become the most lively place in the whole ghost needle stone forest. Because the movement of the arrows to the sky was too great, the enraged spiders gathered here.

Standing in the valley and looking at it, the black pressure is a sea of spiders, and there is no open space in sight.

The river runs in an "L" shape at the bottom of the valley and is at least eight feet deep. The Panlong City Army had already discovered that spiders did not dare to enter the water, so General Nan Ke temporarily set up the base camp in the middle of the river valley, which is the corner of the "L" shape.

In this way, with the river behind them, the army only needs to concentrate on dealing with the enemy in front.

For these pervasive spiders, General Nan Ke came up with the solution of building a wall of fire.

A large number of crypt spiders are driven by spider demons, although they can temporarily suppress the fear of fire, but they do not have the magic power of fire prevention, and they will also die, burn, and smell when roasted by fire......

While killing the spiders, the Panlong City Army hurriedly cut down more than a dozen large trees, the more leafy the better, and then poured fire oil on them.

Hula, the fire is raging.

Relying on this method, the Panlong City Army hastily built a wall of fire more than a zhang wide, and the raging flames were a barrier that most spiders could not cross.

There was deep water in the back, a wall of fire in front, and the temporary camp was temporarily turned into safety.

However, General Nan Ke had many years of experience in fighting, so he ordered someone to move the northernmost wall of fire to a gap, and the width was at most four or five feet.

As soon as the spiders outside saw it, the wall of fire had opened, and they rushed here regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one!

Let them crash on the shore in shock, but the Panlong army guarded it strictly, and when they came in, they killed one by one, and the corpses of the spiders were thrown into the wall of fire to add firewood.

There were occasional casualties, but they were no longer the same as the previous escape.

General Nan Ke's cronies were puzzled: "General, why don't we plug the wall of fire?" ”

In this way, the sergeant will not have to suffer any more casualties.

"These spiders aren't stupid. If there are no gaps, they will find a way to break through and we will be exhausted. Seeing that the situation was gradually under his control, General Nan Ke had time to take out a water bladder to quench his thirst, and by the way, he also fed some water to the black-spotted sparrowhawk on his shoulder, "Then it is better for us to make an opening ourselves, so that they all rush here, and the whole wall of fire will be safe." ”

Controllable and uncontrollable, this is art and fire. Otherwise, less than a thousand soldiers fought against dozens or millions of spiders, even if they had Yuan Force to protect their bodies, they would not be able to hold on.

General Nan Ke looked at Sparrowhawk: "You said earlier, how long will it take for reinforcements to arrive?" ”

"Before dawn." The sparrowhawk pecked at the feathers on its back, "It's almost there." ”

It flew from Puxigou to Panlong City for help, and then flew back to the Ghost Needle Stone Forest to report the news, and hurriedly drove away a large triangle and came back.

In half an hour, the horizon will be white.

General Nan Ke looked in the northeast direction, his face heavy. Even if you rush out of the ghost needle stone forest, there is still a vicious battle to be fought. The Baling people must have set up an ambush at the exit, so even if there is a lot of danger in the ghost needle stone forest, he insists on waiting here until dawn before going out, and it is best to cooperate with the reinforcements inside and outside to give the Baling people a dumpling.

Just hold on for another half an hour.

He was also a little dissatisfied: "If General Hong was willing to divide his troops over, I would have sent these Baling people back to their hometown!" ”

"General Red said that the original combat objectives remain unchanged."

The commander must obey the order, General Nan Ke snorted heavily.

￥￥￥￥￥

After running silently for two quarters of an hour, Liu Tong suddenly waved his hand: "Stop, there is a situation ahead!" ”

Everyone dismounted and walked slowly, brushing aside the dense branches and leaves, and their eyes suddenly opened up.

Beyond this low forest, there is a large open hillside in front of you, which is contrary to the cramped jungle.

At the top of the slope, there are hundreds of years old trees with lush branches, while the slope is covered with fine velvet grass, tender green, smooth and clean, as if someone has taken care of it.

The deepest part of the Ghost Needle Stone Forest is inaccessible, and the only one who can take care of it like this is ...... Spider Demon?

The hillside can be seen clearly at night, thanks to the white light that spooks on the slope.

This light cluster is larger than a pomegranate, and its color is almost pearl white, not soft but very bright.

The door panel whispered, "This is a fluorescent spor." ”

They grow intensively around a huge cave.
