After learning that the saber-toothed shark in the river was extremely difficult, Yu Guogong looked at the surging river in front of him and frowned.

"There are only two or three barges left, and it will take ten and a half months to rebuild them at the earliest, and if the strange fish in the river are still there, the bridge will easily be destroyed again."

Lan Yu had imagined countless scenes of vicious battles with the barbarians, but he never thought that this cold water river, which he was too familiar with, would become a moat, blocking the progress of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Gao Sheng's advice:

"It's better to gather the generals who have cultivated in the army, and cross the river with Edgeworth and the soldiers, I can bring three or five at a time! How can you transport 1,800 people in one day?"

"Can you fly all day, day and night? Use your brain." Lan Yu reprimanded, and Gao Sheng immediately ran out of words.

He only counted how many people he could transport in a day, and forgot how much aura he could use.

With the width of the Hanshui River, the cultivation in the late stage of Qi refining will be exhausted after flying a few rounds, and at least half a day of rest will have to be rested, and it is impossible to fly continuously with the sword.

A group of generals discussed it and finally came up with the only way.

Drain away sharks.

The cold water river is fast, and there are few suitable places to connect to the bridge, and if you change the place to cross the river, not only will the army have to continue the trek, but even the dock will have to be moved, and no one can guarantee whether you will encounter sharks again.

It is even more impractical to kill the fish, because there are second-level demon beasts in the water, the monks of the Qi Refining Realm have not returned, and the cultivators in the army are all important generals, if these people die, the overall strength of the Northern Expedition army will be greatly reduced.

It takes at least ten black jade dolphins to lure away the sharks, and how to find them has become the key.

"It's hard to catch, but if you want to buy a black jade dolphin, I know there should be a place."

Zhou Jingshu's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Pingshanfang City."

Zhou Jingshu pointed in a direction on the north shore and said:

"There is a duckweed mountain at the junction of the Yan country and the barbarian grassland, Pingshanfang City is at the foot of the mountain, I went there once the year before last, it is much larger than Changliu Street, because of the existence of spiritual veins, the monks of nearby countries will go to Pingshanfang City to trade."

Lan Yu's eyes lit up.

"If you can buy the black jade dolphin in the Fang Market, the problem of crossing the river can be solved!"

Zhou Shibo looked sad and said, "Since Fang City is located at the junction, I think there will be barbarian masters in the future, and now that the two armies are clashing, if the people sent are caught by the barbarians, there will be no way to live."

Going to Pingshanfang City to purchase is no less dangerous than going deep behind enemy lines.

"I'll go for a walk." The cloud is out of the air.

Lan Yu nodded in agreement, and threw Yun Que a storage bag, saying:

"There are three thousand spirit stones in this, which are used to purchase the ink jade dolphin, and the extra should be used to compensate for the cost of the spirit runes that made the ice road just now."

"Grandpa Lan, I have spirit stones."

"Take it!" Lan Yu couldn't refuse, "Remember Yun boy, the Northern Expedition is not your own Northern Expedition."

Yun Que nodded solemnly, not polite.

Such a large sum of spirit stones is almost the entire net worth of Yu Guogong.

"How should the 20,000 horses in the north of the shore be settled?" Zhou Shibo asked.

"There is no better way to build fortifications than to step up."

A cold light flashed in Lan Yuhu's eyes, and he ordered: "Gao Sheng is responsible for commanding the troops on the north bank, and during the shipbuilding period on the south bank, he ordered the cultivators in the army to carry grain and grass to cross the river one after another, and to help the north bank, and then go to the middle lane pioneer battalion to give an order, limit them to cross the river within one day, join the soldiers and horses on the north bank, and delay the military aircraft to be killed!"

Since the Northern Expedition, the left and right pioneer battalions have always rushed to the front, and the middle pioneer battalion composed of the Ethereal Pavilion has followed behind, and they are unwilling to contribute without the order of the national teacher.

If the masters of the Ethereal Pavilion were sent across the river, it would definitely be a powerful boost for the 20,000 horses on the north bank.

"That's very good." Zhou Shibo said.

Once the north shore is surrounded and suppressed by the barbarian army, then the Ethereal Pavilion will also have to be buried with it!

Before leaving, Yun Que informed the Duke of Yu Guo of the speculation that there were female cadres in the army.

"Don't worry, I'll find out." Lan Yu said in a deep voice after hearing this.

After setting a ten-day deadline, Yun Que asked for a brief map from Zhou Jingshu and set off alone.

Zhou Yuanliang planned to help, but was rejected by Yun Que for the simple reason that he was afraid that he would drag his feet.

Zhou Jingshu actually wanted to go with Yun Que in her heart, but she couldn't rest assured that her father would give up.

The land north of the shore is boundless.

There are mostly grasslands here, and you can't see the edge at a glance, and you can occasionally see some mountains and Gobi.

On a low hill far away from the Hanshui River, Yun Que faced the west side, and his expression became extremely solemn.

At the end of the line, a majestic city lurks like a giant beast in the depths of the earth. Look at the book

The walls have long been mottled and very old, but they give people a heavy sense of slaughter.

It was as if it was not a city, but a sentry with a sword, guarding the home behind him.

Coldwater City!

In the past five years, the name of this city has been floating in Yun Que's mind all the time, and he is haunted by dreams.

Hanshui City is not only a city, but also the border line that divides Dayan and Beiban.

Once!

This giant city standing on the north bank of the Hanshui River represents the glory and majesty of the Yan Kingdom.

Now!

This ruined uninhabited city was named humiliating and pressed on Yun Que's heart.

"Coldwater City ......"

Yun Que stared at the top of the mountain for a long time, and then he set up the sword light and went away.

The army crossing the river is imminent, and now is not the time to head to Coldwater.

After solving the problem of crossing the river, Yun Que planned to go to Cold Water City to find out first.

According to the map, Pingshanfang City is at least a day away from the Hanshui River and Edgeworth.

The distance was too far, and Yun Que couldn't fly to his destination in one go.

In an hour or so, you have to lower the flying sword and rest.

Half a day later.

In a woodland, the clouds sit and rest.

"It seems that I have to buy a flying magic weapon, and it is really not convenient for Edgeworth to travel long distances."

The flying magic weapon only needs spirit stones to drive, which is much less troublesome than flying with the sword, since this trip is to Pingshanfang City, just to see if there is a suitable one.

Suddenly, my heart moved.

A strange aura came from the storage ring spirit beast space.

Dividing a wisp of aura to check, Yun Que said in surprise:

"It's advanced!"

In the spirit beast space, the corpse king insect has successfully advanced from a first-level demon beast to a second-level demon beast.

The strange insect that was originally the size of a sea bowl became larger than a water basin, and the silver on its body became deeper and deeper, as if it was wearing a layer of armor made of mercury.

The biggest change is the fangs of the strange worm.

Don't look at the mouth is not big, the fangs are extremely fine, like steel needles scattered in the mouth, looking at it gives people a hideous feeling.

Yun Que has liked to play with insects since he was a child, and the corpse king insect in front of him is obviously the most fierce one.

The most interesting thing is that as long as the corpse king insect does not open its mouth, its body shape is like an oversized ladybug, which is round and cute at first glance.

After trying the sword spirit, he could still control the corpse king worm, and Yun Que released it.

As soon as it appeared in the outside world, the corpse king worm immediately crawled around, irritable, as if it hadn't eaten for several years.

When Yun Que took out a piece of Yaksha Yuanshen, the corpse king insect pounced frantically and gnawed on it.

After advancing to the second level, this fierce insect was finally able to gnaw at the Yaksha Primordial God, but it was very difficult, and it took a long time to eat a bite.

Don't look at only one bite, the corpse king worm immediately became honest, lying on the spot and retracting its long claws, motionless.

Yun Que kicked the worm, and seeing that it was just digesting, he said angrily:

"I'm pretty big and sleep when I'm full, and I can keep a dog and watch the house, get up! Zaiben Hou hurried away."

in the sword

Under duress, the corpse king insect reluctantly flew up.

The back is just big enough for one person to sit cross-legged.

So Yun Que began to fly with insects.

Now I don't need to expend my own aura, but the route of travel becomes erratic.

The corpse king insect can't understand the southeast and northwest at all, and flies around, sometimes forward, sometimes in a big circle and backwards.

Once it deviated from the route, Yun Que was able to teach the Corpse King Worm a lesson from the sword spirit, so that it could fly forward obediently, and it didn't take long for it to start deviating from its position again.

Although he didn't use aura, Yun Que felt more tired.

This is the flight of insects, it is the same as driving a donkey, you have to throw two whips if you have nothing to do.

"I'll need to find an insect control method as soon as possible."

Yun Que secretly calculated in his heart.

The corpse king insect that has reached the second level has faintly shown signs of being uncontrollable, and if it rushes into the third level, it will definitely have to get out of control.

When the time comes, the bugs will run away, and then they will be raised in vain.

The difficult insect flew for a long time, and in the distance, a high mountain shaped like duckweed was in sight.

Duckweed Mountain, arrived.
