Chapter 61: Reluctance

On the fourth day after Chengbang woke up, everyone finally came out of the camp. Xiao Jin flew in the air to ensure the safety of the trip, while Da Bai Xiao Bai leaned out of the wings of the team, and the weaker demon beasts did not dare to approach, but some of them were directly bitten to death by Da Bai and Xiao Bai because of their slow movements, and they were turned into food supplements. Peng Ze and Zhao Baoqing were at the front of the line as scouts. The reason why they put on such a posture as if they were facing a great enemy is because they carry too many things in this line of work. Of course, the two immortal stone cannons and the remaining cannonballs, immortal stones, etc., must be carried, in case they encounter a strong enemy, this is their reliance on defeating the enemy. The materials collected by the White Devil Ape were loaded with two large carts, and the huge bone frame of that level alone required several people to take turns pulling the cart to rush forward.

What's more, they have lived in the mountains of the ten directions for so long, and there are all kinds of other good things. For example, there are more than a dozen kinds of rare medicinal herbs that can be fed outside the Shifang Mountain, and there are a cart of medicinal materials that have been preliminarily dried, all kinds of rare fruits, mountain treasures, and a considerable number of demon cores, ores, gems, etc., which add up to two carts. There are only so many people in total, even if they streamline and streamline all kinds of materials, there are still too many things that they are reluctant to throw away.

Except for a few people who were guarding and guarding, almost everyone had to help pull the cart and push the cart, and it was also a shame that Chengbang chose a very easy path. After the third day, you may occasionally encounter some traces of previous adventurers. Although it is only a trace, and some of them look a little old, at least they give everyone hope that they are getting closer and closer.

Originally, it was expected to take ten days, but it was not until the fourteenth day that I came to the edge of the Shifang Mountain. Looking at the tired but full morale team behind him, Cheng Bang breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel proud. It was he who brought such a team of uneven strength out of the Ten Directions Mountains and returned to the prosperous paradise.

"You guys take a break, I'll go check on the situation. After Cheng Bang left his words, he ran on his own, he went up along the ridge, climbed to the top of the slope, and found the tallest tree, and stood on the highest horizontal branch in three or two strokes, straightened his throat and shouted loudly, so unhappy.

Finally walked out of the Shifang Mountain, it has been more than a year and a half since he jumped into the mountain, and so many things have happened, so that he has grown from an ignorant and reckless teenager to a team leader who is now faintly a master. It's not easy to take on a greater responsibility and take responsibility for someone else's life. Today, when he arrived here, it was as if an invisible chain had been untied, and he was once again wanton.

"This kid ......," Jiang Mei said dotingly, sitting on a big stone on the side of the road.

"Uncle Jiang, Chengbang, is he okay?" Ye Yichen asked with concern.

"It's okay. He looks like a child like this, and he can't be happy hiding in the mountains after all. ”

"Hmm. Ye Yichen understood what Jiang Mei meant and nodded.

Xiao Jin was very curious to hover over Chengbang's head for a while, and then he was attracted by a beautiful bird in the distance, and flew down to catch it as an ornament. Da Bai Xiaobai, who had been cruising on both sides of the team, also felt the change in the atmosphere and gathered around Ye Yichen. Ye Yichen patted Xiaobai's head, but Xiaobai was arching himself with his head.

"Hey, what are you going to do?" Ye Yichen asked with a smile.

Xiaobai stood aside and lit up the entire side to her.

"Do you want me to sit on your back?" Ye Yichen asked with a smile. Xiaobai really nodded.

The smart Jade Spotted Tiger may not understand human words, but it can keenly feel people's feelings, can remember the characteristics of everyone's words and deeds, and can hear different tones, which is not much different from being able to understand people's words.

Ariel Ye sat on Xiaobai's body and gently hugged Xiaobai's neck. Da Bai Xiaobai swooped out and ran towards the top of the slope, what Ye Yichen couldn't imagine was that Xiao Bai actually jumped directly onto the tree that Chengbang climbed to the top. Ariel Ye exclaimed and hugged Xiaobai's neck tightly, while Xiaobai made a snoring sound, as if he was laughing at Ariel Ye's timidity.

Even a pine tree that goes straight to the sky can easily climb to the top with the strength and precision of the jade spotted tiger's claws, not to mention oak and other trees with wide horizontal branches.

"Hehe, Sister Chen, you're also here. Cheng Bang helped Ye Yichen, who was a little pale, and sat down beside him.

Her Royal Highness Princess Qinghe is still on the top of the treetops for the first time in her life, she has not been allowed to be naughty since she was a child, and she has never had such a wanton opportunity? Although she used to travel back and forth on the Huangfeng to see a wider scene, she felt the oncoming gusts of mountain wind, experienced the light swaying of the trees, and the feeling that the entire mountain range seemed to be in front of her, but she had never felt it.

"Here, you should be able to see Anting. Cheng Bang muttered.

"Can you see that far?"

"It's not far, it's only a few dozen miles. Find a place to rest today, and you should be able to get there tomorrow in one go. ”

Ye Yichen suddenly quieted down. She felt as if she was a little reluctant to live like this, perhaps in turmoil and with all kinds of inconveniences. Growing up, she had never been so absent from taking a shower for a few days as usual in the past few months, and had it instinctively to sleep in her clothes and stay alert. There has never been such a thing as he is treating Chengbang now, if there are any questions that can be asked directly, he will not hesitate to express his feelings and opinions. Yes, probably because of this freedom.

Even though her skin had become rough and gray, and her hands had begun to have old skin and calluses, she was still addicted to this freedom.

"Tomorrow?"

"Probably. If you don't encounter any inexplicable circumstances. Cheng Bang suddenly frowned and said, "Actually, I think it's a little strange." It's all here, and I haven't seen anyone all the way. There wasn't a single team of adventurers, and I had to make so many preparations. ”

Thinking of this question, Ye Yichen was also a little puzzled: "As far as I know, there are always one or two teams of people who go back and forth to the mountains every day in Anting. It stands to reason that even if the war between Yue and Chu is launched, it will have a certain impact, but the demand for various materials and medicinal materials should be even greater...... This is a bit puzzling. ”

"It's good if you don't get into trouble. Cheng Bang scratched his head and said, "Anyway, go back to Anting first, everyone can completely relax and rest." ”

Jin let out a long cry and began to circle in a triangle in the air. Cheng Bang was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "I'll take a look!"

After speaking, he directly pulled the book cover and slipped down, and when Ye Yichen reacted and looked down, Cheng Bang was already sitting on Da Bai's back and galloping in the direction where Xiao Jin was.

"Xiaobai, let's follow!" Ye Yichen held back a little nervousness in his heart, didn't look at his feet, and jumped directly onto Xiaobai. Xiaobai let out a low roar knowingly, jumped off the tree with a few brushes, and followed.

The place where Xiaojin hovered was only a few miles away, and it would take a short time to arrive at the degree of big white and small white. The scene they saw made the two of them unbelievable, what appeared in front of them was actually a troop transport road in the forest, on which there was a marching army of Chu Guotie riding in four columns, marching fast.

"How can this be?" After a distance, Ariel Ye didn't care too much about being seen by the enemy, and exclaimed in surprise.

"I don't know. Cheng Bang was nervous for a while: "Even if the front-line battle is unfavorable, it shouldn't affect Anting's side, right?"

Ariel Ye didn't say anything, after all, she had been out of the situation for a long time, and she didn't know what was wrong. However, the current situation will definitely have an impact on their plans to return.

"Let's go investigate, or go back first?" Ariel Ye asked in a low voice.

"Let's go back first, even if we want to investigate, we can't go like this. Cheng Bang said: "Let people know that we are from the mountains and bring a lot of good things, no matter who it is, whether it is Chu or Yue, we will all die." ”

They hurried back to their resting places. Talking about the situation, Jiang Mei first asked them to describe the appearance of those cavalry.

"As far as I know, there are four main iron cavalry of the Chu State. The Eagle Cavalry and the Red-Clothed Army stationed in the capital Jiangning, the Jiuli Army of the Hechuan Governor's Mansion, and the military camp of General Yu Wenxian. According to the uniform you said, this army should be in the barracks, shouldn't it be stationed in the western part of the Chu State? How did it get here?" Jiang Mei was old in military affairs, and immediately analyzed: "Four columns of marching troops, this is a rapid march, but they are not very vigilant. That means they're sure of the safety of the area, and we didn't see any adventurers or other teams along the way, and we didn't even meet anyone, so it didn't seem like it was for nothing. If I guessed correctly, Anting should have fallen into the hands of the Chu State, and the time was not short, otherwise it would not have allowed the elite cavalry with such a cautious style to walk through the forest so recklessly. Chu State, I'm afraid that even Anting's road to the Ten Directions Mountain has been completely controlled. ”

"What should I do then?" Cheng Bang asked anxiously, "Isn't Sister Chen unable to go back?"

Jiang Mei shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. The top priority at the moment is to first understand what the current battle situation is, so that we can make further plans. However, if Anting is occupied by the Chu State, then no matter where you want to go from here, I am afraid it will not be easy. This is a rare flat area in the central part of the country, and in other directions, woodlands, mountains and passes are densely packed. And it is absolutely impossible for us to cross the mountains and mountains, avoid all the Chu ** teams, and arrive in the country of Yue. ”

Jiang Mei's truth-seeking words made the atmosphere even more gloomy.
