Chapter 518: The First Day of the Summer Month, Hold on 8

Han Dong has followed Xia Chu for more than ten years, so he naturally understands the meaning of his order, if he can, even if he disobeys the order, he will die for Xia Chuyi, but he understands that at this time, the meaning of Xia Chu's order is far higher than life.

Han Dong didn't dare to hesitate any longer, he still took the token, they brought a total of more than a dozen people over, but Han Dong only took four people away: "Master, Xuanwuwei has always lived and died with his master, and we will complete the task you explained to the death." ”

Xia Chuyi didn't say anything anymore, let Han Dong and the others leave quickly, and he took the remaining eight people to continue looking for people.

The black forest was foggy, and I don't know how long it took me to see a gloomy swamp.

It was clear that it was just after noon before they entered the Black Forest, and the sun was shining, and according to his inference, it would not be more than two hours now, but the sky here was already dark and gloomy, as if it was completely cut off from the outside world, and there was a suffocating atmosphere.

At this time, he finally saw a clue, on the edge of the black swamp, there seemed to be a few new bones, if he was not mistaken, it should be the bones of horses and humans, bright in color, it should have just turned into white bones.

In other words, it is not a legend that poison is rampant here, and those horses are likely to be left by the group of people who followed the emperor, as for whether those people are dead or alive, looking at the human bones next to those horse bones, Xia Chuyi is also a little uncertain.

"Cut down thick branches." Xia Chuyi commanded.

When his men heard the order, they immediately went to the nearby forest to cut down a relatively thin tree and dragged the trunk over.

"Throw the trunk into the swamp." Xia Chuyi commanded again.

The small tree, which was about the size of an adult man's arm, was thrown into the swamp, and did not sink directly, nor did it turn to ashes in an instant, but sank little by little.

Xia Chuyi stared at the trunk for a moment, and then asked someone to change the trunk to a thicker one and threw it in, and the result was the same.

In other words, it is not the swamp that is poisonous, but the creatures of the swamp.

Just as far as the eye can see, it is barren and filled with a light mist, but it is impossible to see what is hidden in this swamp.

"Cut more branches, and go where there is no mud, faster." Xia Chuyi quickly joined in the preparations while instructing, and after a while, several people cut down many branches, tied the ropes they carried with them, and began to try to walk ahead in the swamp.

At the beginning, there was silence around, and several people also walked out of a distance of about a mile, but further inside, it was much more difficult, but after walking for half a mile, two people were inexplicably dragged into the mud, and they couldn't even be rescued.

Xia Chuyi once again realized that the danger here was not just a legend, and it was difficult to say whether the emperor was still alive at this time.

"You all go back! Waiting at the edge of the swamp! Xia Chuyi was really reluctant to send his personal guards to death like this, and shouted loudly.

The remaining six all knelt down, swearing that they would not leave.

Xia Chuyi's face sank, seeing that there was a dead end in front of him, if he continued to walk forward with a few people, it would be equivalent to burying the lives of the six of them.

At this moment, a voice suddenly shouted incredibly: "Xia Chuyi, why are you here?!" ”
