There are two ways to get from the three counties to the borderlands, one is to enter the Shilong Mountains from the eastern foothills of the Misty Mountains outside Maling County, and reach them through the steep mountain roads. The second is to enter the border buffer zone through the border pass in the eastern part of the fiefdom, and then reach the area around Blackwood City.

Fang Ling's trip was not simply to reach Blackwood City, but also to find a suitable path for future marches. Although the second method is convenient, it is too public, Blackwood City is a large-scale black market, and everyone dares to sell anything, and the people who dare to buy these things are naturally not ordinary people, and in Blackwood City, in addition to all kinds of materials and treasures, I am afraid that all kinds of information of the two countries are also gathered here.

Therefore, I am afraid that before the army has passed the pass, it will reach the ears of Blackwood City, so what Fang Ling wants is to find a road in the Shilong Mountain Range that can be used by the army to pass through.

As Chen Mou reported, the terrain of the Shilong Mountains is very treacherous, and there are many fierce beasts and poisons. However, the three of them have good skills, which are not comparable to ordinary soldiers, and it is natural to cross mountains and mountains.

In order to find a suitable path, Fang Ling released the mink and used its keen sense of smell to determine the location of the beast's lair, you know, every large beast has its own range, and after determining these ranges, it is much easier to avoid conflicts with them.

As Fang Ling walked, he made marks on the trees, and at the same time, the poisons and other things found along the way were also recorded, and after clarifying the types of these poisons, Chen Mou was able to start making antidotes.

Originally, Dong Canghai and the others were ready to fight with the beast, but what was surprising was that the two of them found that they didn't even see the shadow of the beast all the way, of course the two would not be naïve to think that it was too lucky, but they couldn't figure out that the road led by Fang Ling would be so smooth, but as a courtier, they naturally wouldn't ask the master what he had done.

And only Fang Ling really understands how many large beasts there are on this mountain, if there is no mink to lead the way, I don't know how many battles will have to be passed along the way, ordinary beasts are just that, there are several groups of wolves on the mountain, and it is no wonder that it is difficult for the soldiers to enter the hinterland.

Every time he passed through a hill, Fang Ling filled in a lot of blank information on the map, and at the same time, in the process of marching, he also asked Dong Canghai and the others to survey everywhere, so as to determine a passage for the army to march.

Day by day, five days later, the three of them finally walked to the edge of the Shilong Mountain Range, standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, they saw the long moat canyon on the left.

It's just that if you want to go directly to the canyon, you have to climb down the abyss, and the rock walls of this abyss are full of poison, poisonous snakes are entrenched, and there are greedy eagles hovering in the sky, even if the soldiers of the Xi Kingdom want to pass through here and descend the mountain.

The only feasible way is to descend the mountain from the north, and looking north, you can clearly see the hilly area derived from the Shilong Mountains, and the six cities are suddenly located in the middle, because the three of them take the mountain road, so they just avoid passing through other cities, and after going down the mountain, they can directly enter Blackwood City.
