II. The Heavenly Punishment of the Scarlet Leaf Forest Chapter Seventy-Three Rainy Night

Suddenly it began to rain lightly during the night.

The young man and Mira braved the night to climb the vines from the cliffs. The cliffs were covered with moss, and if you weren't careful, the rubble that kicked off your feet fell with a clatter.

But the two of them still gritted their teeth and persevered, and the young man clutched the branches and vines beside him with both hands, and dense beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. Mira was also dressed roughly, and she had many wounds on her body, but she knew that she could only survive if she crawled to the priests' treehouse in the night.

Suddenly, several pieces of gravel fell from the top of the hill and smashed beside the young man, almost knocking him off the cliff.

Mira was so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly, not daring to make a sound. After a while, she didn't hear any movement, and Mira dared to open her eyes.

"It doesn't seem to have been discovered." The young man clung to the cliff with a branch and leaned over the net to look at it.

Mira nodded slightly, and cautiously continued to crawl.

There was a light ahead, apparently almost to the top of the mountain, and that light was the light of the priests reading the scriptures at night.

At this moment, the young man's ears twitched slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he whispered, "Hidden." ”

Mira hurriedly hid under a branch jutting out of the cliff. Probing through the foliage, he was surprised to find that the priest's treehouse was not only brightly lit, but also full of Pegu's guards standing outside the door!

Was it discovered?

Mira's heart seemed to fall into the abyss, and it was impossible for the two of them to climb back in such a dark night. If you hide on this branch, you won't be found until dawn.

Mira cursed softly, "Pegu, this despicable thing, what kind of dirty tricks are still being done in the middle of the night. ”

The young man smiled inexplicably, "That's a good question, I want to know too." ”

Mira looked at the young man curiously.

The young man took a closer look at the topography of the cliff by the light from the treehouse, "Since it hasn't been discovered yet, it is better to get closer and maybe you can overhear something." ”

"If you want to eavesdrop, I know somewhere." Mira waved her hand and motioned for the young man to follow her and crawl over.

The two of them slowly approached in the direction of the treehouse, and gradually climbed under an upside-down rock. This is where Mira and her brother discovered it as children, and although they couldn't climb to the top of the hill from here, they could clearly hear the movement in the treehouse. It was because they often eavesdropped that they learned something about Elder Walker and Heavenly Punishment.

There were two palm-sized footholds under the stones, and the young man and Mira tied the vines around their waists to a section of the root, settled down, and gradually heard the voice of Elder Pegu.

"What, they've already passed the Deadwood Outpost?" Elder Pegu's voice was as ugly as a blade cutting through glass, "Ants who don't know what to do! ”

"Elder, we have set up an ambush around the altar in accordance with your deployment." Someone reported.

Elder Pegu replied proudly: "Very good, give them a wave of ambushes, and hit their sharp qi first." I will lead the Guards to crush this enemy in one fell swoop, and use them to sacrifice to the god Baham. ”

"But Elder, we don't have a 'portent' now...... someone asked.

"There is no 'omen', so just catch another one." Pegu smiled grimly, "Even if there is no warning, I have a way to awaken Heavenly Punishment." ”

The young man's eyes suddenly brightened.

"They've come to my rescue." He clenched the vines in his hand, and a warm current swayed in his heart.

As Elder Pegu was making a fuss in the treehouse, the clamor of battle was already heard around the altar.

The trumpets sounded in unison, and the drums of war beat. The neat shields are like iron walls, and the spears of tax profits shuttle back and forth like ghosts. However, in the blink of an eye, Korson's men and horses were crushed.

"Ambush! Offensive! "Suddenly a number of Korsun warriors appeared in the woods on both sides, and they took advantage of the jungle to sneak around, throwing steel forks and firing blow arrows.

"Kill!" Damgo brandished his halberd and charged forward with a team, cutting down three or five enemies in an instant, but there were more and more opponents, as if they were about to surround them.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and lightning was drawn in the night sky again.

With a flash of lightning and thunder, the Korsun Guards appeared in front of them, cutting them off. They were armed with war bows, the front row of the two blades flashing with cold light, and the back row was full of bows.

Elder Pegu stood on the "throne" with the demonic beast and sneered, "You fools, you dare to come to my territory to provoke. Just die here! ”

Elder Pegu was just beginning to be proud, and suddenly a military horn sounded in the forest, and the forest was full of flags and torches, as if the large army of the Red Pavilion had killed him.

"How is that possible?" Elder Pegu was stunned, "Did they predict my ambush?" ”

The Korsun warriors were even more terrified.

Some of them have already fought a few battles with the Red Pavilion. Whether it is the battle of the generals in front of the battle or the secret scheme, they have long clearly recognized the gap in strength in their minds after repeated defeats. Now that the main force of the Red Pavilion had seen through their ambush, their morale suddenly collapsed.

"Run!" Someone shouted.

"Don't mess around! Don't run! Elder Pegu scolded sharply, "Those who escaped from the battle will all be beheaded!" Overseer Warband! Overseer Warband! ”

His words didn't have any effect at all, and the fastest runner was the Warlord.

Seeing the Korsun soldiers abandon their armor and flee in disarray, Elder Pegu was furious. Just as he was about to urge his guards to come forward to meet the enemy, he heard an arrow piercing the night sky from behind.

"Ugly fool, eat me with an arrow!" Finks and the Hunters managed to lurk near the altar, and when they heard the sound of battle, they rushed over to support. As soon as he arrived at the front line, he saw Elder Pegu standing on the ostentatious "bird's nest" and pointing at his hands and feet in pain.

Sou!

The bolt struck Elder Pegu by the shoulder, knocking him to the ground with a single arrow.

The guards quickly turned around and fired indiscriminately in the direction of the Finks. But unexpectedly, in the dark night, the figure of the hunter troop flickered and moved, and quickly disappeared between the treetops of the dense forest. On the contrary, the crossbow arrows that kept flying in the dark night sky shot down many of the guards in a row.

"Damn! You scumbags! Elder Pegu reluctantly got up with the support of his attendants, raised a staff inlaid with soul stones, and chanted a word in his mouth, "Since you have all come to seek death, then I will fulfill you!" ”

Although it was unclear whether he had used soul magic or voodoo, a terrible chirp suddenly erupted from a large pit in the center of the Korson altar in the distance. The cry was like a terrible howl from the gates of hell when it was opened, and it made people tremble when they heard it.

Elder Pegu looked at the warriors of the Red Pavilion viciously, and the staff in his hand slammed towards the void in front of him.

I saw that in the big pit, a black shadow rose up into the sky, like a volcanic eruption!

That's ...... Malaria?!

Isn't the miasma a natural formation in this forest? Why was Elder Pegu able to control the miasma?

Whether it is a Korsun person or a Red Pavilion warrior, there are countless question marks in their minds at this moment. But they couldn't think about it, the miasma spread rapidly, and it was about to engulf the entire altar, the entire Korsun camp, and even the entire Scarlet Leaf Forest!

"Die, in the face of the miasma, die!" Elder Pegu's voice echoed in the air like a ghost.

"Not necessarily."

Elder Pegu's eyes suddenly widened!

He knew the voice.

He also recognized the fiery greatsword and the handsome young man.

"Aren't you dead?" Elder Pegu blurted out.

The man he thought was dead stood in front of him, pointed his flaming greatsword at him, and sneered, "How could I be so embarrassed to die in front of you filthy and despicable evil incarnate? ”
