Chapter 319: The Time to Choose
Vines of different shapes slowly occupy every inch of open space in the dense forest, and the range of mountains and fields is getting bigger and bigger.
The old demon of Yinshan is like a fish in water, and the dense rainforest is his home.
There are more and more people going up the mountain, lighting torches and lining up a long line of firelight.
When Li Guanghan, the prince of Great Qin, and others crossed the mountainside, the old demon of Yinshan did not move;
When the hundreds of elite soldiers who followed rushed up, the old demon of Yinshan did not make a move, and the fire demon and the horned demon Nagus couldn't hold back, and this old demon still lurked in the bushes and waited quietly.
After nearly a third of the mighty chasing soldiers crossed the halfway up the mountain, the old demon of Yinshan finally moved.
The terrible screams quickly pierced the night sky.
The first to be killed was a small commander with good cultivation, followed by hundreds of elite soldiers like wolves and tigers. The group got into a plain-looking wood, and there was nothing unusual around, and as they walked, the little commander who was at the front suddenly stumbled and fell into a dirt pit. This pit is not too deep, but unfortunately, there is a sharp stone protruding from it, which runs straight through the chest of the little commander, and the blood flows and is instantly hopeless. The soldiers who followed rushed up and raised their torches to see that their scalps were numb.
A general commander quickly heard the news, and after a hasty inspection, he turned and left, and ordered the soldiers to continue walking as an ordinary accident.
"Everyone, be careful, watch your step!"
"Hold the torch high, keep up, and be careful not to fall behind!"
......
The deputy commander who temporarily led the team, reminded loudly as he walked, leading this small force to continue to advance. In the deep mountains and dense forests, there were thousands of such teams, scattered and walked towards the top of the mountain, and were ordered to search out the injured Ye Chuan.
The soldiers were fearless, even talking and laughing, and like the Grand Commander, they regarded what had just happened as an accident, but soon, the group felt that something was wrong.
didn't go far, and the deputy commander who had just been promoted to the battle also encountered an accident, the difference was that instead of falling into the pit, he suddenly stepped on the air while walking, and his neck was just stuck on a vine wrapped between two big trees. I don't know what kind of vine it is, it grows very thin, but it is tougher than a steel rope, and the edges are sharper than a bayonet. The deputy commander's body was heavy, and his neck was cut open by this thin vine at once, and his entire head was about to fall off. The soldiers rushed forward, but they couldn't cover the commander's throat with their hands, and blood came out like a spring.
"Yes...... , there is a mountain demon, ...... quickly" The deputy commander struggled for a while and his head tilted to the side and died, it was good that he was dead, and he was a hundred, but the soldiers were terrified. The two commanders of one and one pair have died one after another, and they are dying so weirdly, it is really creepy when you think about it.
The Yunwu Mountains are majestic, vast and mountainous, with a radius of thousands of kilometers, and the mountains are densely wooded, with large areas of primeval forests that are inaccessible to people, and there are many legends since ancient times. According to legend, there is a kind of mountain demon on the mountain, which is not much bigger than a monkey, but it is infinitely powerful and agile, and can even call the wind and rain. Different from ordinary demon beasts, the mountain demon is a ghost-like evil thing, specializing in sucking people's essence blood and Yuanyang, and the general method can't kill at all, as soon as it gets dark, it comes out to forage for food, and when it encounters it, it is a dead end. Because of its resemblance to monkeys, it is also known as a mountain monkey.
The encounter between the two commanders, coupled with the words of the deputy commander before his death, quickly reminded the soldiers of the terrible legend. All of a sudden, everyone's hearts were sweating. There are many people and horses on the mountain, but it is also a shock to disperse to the entire huge flat-topped mountain, and 200,000 horses and horses pour out of the nest. The mountains are separated by mountains, and the two hundred-man teams are at least one or two kilometers apart. This distance is nothing on the flat ground, and when you burrow into the dense rainforest, it seems as if you can't see each other from afar. A lot of times you can hear sounds, but you just can't see people.
The two commanders and deputies were gone, and the terrible rumors caused the soldiers to quickly fall into confusion and be leaderless. Some insisted on continuing to walk, climbing to the top of the mountain to meet the large army, some people mentioned that they would be stationed on the spot and wait for dawn to speak, and some people retreated and turned away, saying that they did not dare to continue drilling into the dense forest.
The rustling sound sounded at this time, not loud, like the sound of rain in people's ears, and like the footsteps of someone.
"Everyone, be careful!" Some experienced soldiers quickly became vigilant, but unfortunately, the dragons were leaderless and could not quickly form a formation to defend them.
Strange vines suddenly surged from all directions, under their feet, in the cracks of the stones, in the bushes...... Countless vines sprang up from all over the place, wrapping around the soldiers' hands, feet, bodies or necks, and even piercing the soldiers' chests like bayonets.
Heart-rending screams and screams suddenly rang out and spread far away in the night sky.
When the nearby hundred-man team heard the news, their scalps were numb, and their hands holding torches trembled and their teeth rattled.
In a short period of time, a team of 100 people was completely wiped out, with different wounds, but one thing was the same, each corpse had atrophied muscles, and the blood in its body had been exhausted and turned into a dried corpse. Strangely, there were not a few drops of blood on the ground.
"It's a mountain demon, specializing in sucking essence blood and Yuanyang, it must have been done by the mountain demon. ”
Someone quickly remembered the terrible legend, and the soldiers who arrived when they heard the news were all frightened, and before the commanders could find out what was going on, the terrible screams rang out again.
Similar scenes have occurred in many places in the mountains.
The old demon of Yinshan Rhode is erratic, shuttling freely through the dense forest, hunting for the lives of teams of soldiers. Encountering a master mixed in with the soldiers, naturally there is the Fire Demon and the Horned Demon Nagus to deal with, and he is only responsible for creating a large area of panic and chaos.
Rattling laughter, reverberating in the mountains.
With the help of the cover of the night and the dense forest, the old demon of Yinshan went on a killing spree, and he had never been happy. Under Ye Chuan's command, there is no one more suitable to create large-scale panic and chaos than him. The army of the Great Qin Dynasty, which entered the mountain overnight, quickly fell into chaos.
Li Guanghan, the prince of Great Qin, and his entourage, who had been walking in the forefront, suddenly stopped, looked back at the dense forest behind them, and their faces were solemn.
Ye Chuan's breath is getting closer and closer, and it is very likely that he will heal on the top of the mountain not far away, but at this time, a large-scale riot suddenly appeared behind him, and the rapid sound of horns, the shouts of the soldiers and the terrible screams were intertwined, making people nervous, I don't know how many ambushes Ye Chuan had laid in the mountains.
"Your Highness, this is a trap! Ye Chuan's kid is obviously luring us to the bait, we must order the whole army to retreat and withdraw from the mountain, we can't hesitate any longer!"
The exterminator reminded him, his face grim.
Ye Chuan's methods are still expected. The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the sky is dark, and at this time the army is scattered everywhere and there is a large area of chaos, which is fatal, and the whole army collapses if you are not careful.
Li Guanghan, the prince of Great Qin, was embarrassed, and his face turned pale.
Finally chased all the way here, seeing that Ye Chuan was not far ahead, at this time he turned around and retreated, not only did he lose all his previous efforts, but he also lost a great opportunity. Continuing to move forward, not to mention whether he could kill Ye Chuan in one fell swoop, the army that followed behind might be subject to a more powerful ambush and suffer heavy losses. Once the army is broken, it will be difficult to regroup.
Is it worth it to gamble with an army of 200,000 to kill Ye Chuan?
Li Guanghan hesitated and encountered a difficult choice.
