Volume 1: Ten Years of Zhaowu Chapter 145 Singing in the middle of the night
Maybe it was because Xuanwu's voice was too loud, and the voice that had disappeared reappeared.
"Get down!"
This time, there was no need for Xuanwu to remind him, everyone covered their ears and lay down for the first time.
The sound wave lasted for thirty seconds before stopping again, and because of the experience of the previous time, it didn't take much damage this time.
"Everyone, let's go! At least thirty breaths after this attack and the next one! Qian Shan reminded at this time.
The crowd did not linger long, and quickly got up and left.
The entire plank road was more than forty miles long, and after that, everyone still encountered the attack of the Hell Demon Bird, but after each attack, everyone accumulated a lot of experience, so that the last half of the distance was not hurt much.
Towards midnight, a group of more than 300 people finally passed the plank road, and although many people were injured, none of them died.
This is a miracle among all the forces that have walked the plank road!
Qian Shan played a very important role in this process, which also gave everyone greater confidence in getting out of the Valley of the Dead.
After passing the sinkhole, there is an open field in front of you, and a few hundred meters ahead, a jungle looms visible.
Xuanwu ordered at this time: "Camp on the spot!" ”
Then he ordered forty or fifty men to go and cut down some trees in the jungle in front of him.
The remaining more than 300 people are responsible for setting up the village, and five people live in a camp tent, which is distributed in the shape of "instrument".
The camp tent in the middle is the core personnel of the Hou Mansion such as Baihu, Xuanwu and Pan Meng, and the camp tents in the southeast, northwest, and northwest are those of these Xuanwei.
Xuanwu is worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield, and nearly 400 people were encamped by him.
After arranging, they began to dig a trench around it, and then used the felled logs to round it up, leaving only a portal for entry and exit, and in front of the portal were laid deer bars and a few traps.
Not to say that it is impregnable, but the facilities that should be in the camp used in the march and the war are all there.
And it took less than an hour to do that!
This speed is far less than that of a border army in a hundred battles!
After the whole camp was completely built, it was getting dark.
Wang Cheng didn't live in the big tent in the middle like the other lieutenants, he lived with Xu Chao and a few of his henchmen, and he was not used to staying in a tent with unfamiliar people.
A few people were eating around the campfire, eating cooked foods such as processed meatloaf and jerky.
The taste is naturally not very good, but compared to the things eaten by the border army, this treatment is already very good.
At this time, one of Xuanwu's personal soldiers trotted over, saluted first, and said: "Lord Wang, Lord Xuanwu has an order, and the captains of all departments should immediately choose the person on duty at night and guard the position they are responsible for." ”
Wang Cheng nodded, and after the soldiers left, he asked a few people: "Do you have more clever people under your hands?" ”
Xu Chao said: "I have a brother who has just been alternated from the barracks, called Zhang Rui, and he is relatively clever. ”
Wang Cheng nodded and said, "Okay!" Then let him be arranged to keep watch for the first half of the night, and I will personally watch for the second half of the night! ”
Zhang Rui is a young man in his twenties, his family is relatively poor, he was sixteen years old that year, and the family could not afford to support him when he was eating strong food.
When the whole family was having a headache for their livelihood, Ning Hou's military power was relieved and he was sent to Tiandu Mansion and needed private soldiers, so he reported two more years and was selected for the army.
Because he missed the second peak of growth and development because he had poor snacks and warm clothes, he still grew thin and dark even though he had very good food after entering the army.
But he has two abilities that many people don't have, one is to be smart, and the other is to run fast. With these two abilities, he was able to achieve a very good ranking in the monthly competition in the barracks, and he had a small reputation in the barracks.
It's a pity that he is really too ugly, he has no skin color or height, and he has a pair of sharp-beaked monkey gills, so he is twenty-three, and no girl is willing to marry him.
Knowing that there would be a rich reward for this exploration of the Valley of the Dead, he did not hesitate to sign up. If he can go back alive this time, a thousand taels of gold, what woman can't marry?
No matter how bad it is, he ransom a girl out of the Happy Building, after the Happy Building was seized, the girls inside are worried that they have nowhere to live, and a thousand taels of gold can not redeem several girls, and he also wants to taste the shameless life of those rich people.
Young people, who doesn't have a dream?
Bringing water bags and weapons, Zhang Rui came to the area in charge of their department, which was also the direction where their camp was located - east.
The night is dark, the mountain wind is blowing, there are no stars and no moon, and you can't see your fingers.
Zhang Rui stood on the observation deck and took out the water bag on his waist, which was not actually filled with water, but wine.
He raised his head and poured two sips into his mouth, the innate sour and spicy taste of the inferior wine made his brain sober for a while.
He has been a private soldier under Ning Hou for more than six years, and he has a lot of money every month. But a large part of this silver money had to be handed over to his family, and the rest had to buy Qi and Blood Pills and other resources used in his cultivation, and the money was not enough to spend, so he could only buy the worst wine.
Drinking alcohol strengthens his courage, this is the experience he has summed up after six years as a soldier, so every time it is his turn to be on duty, he will replace the water in the water bag with wine.
With a little bit of alcohol, the fire in his body rose, but when he looked at the vast night around him, he still had a little fear in his heart.
Before he came, the brothers in the camp had told him that he should not expect to return alive this time.
What is the Valley of the Dead?
There are demons and monsters everywhere, there are demons during the day, and there are ghosts at night, and the martial king and the strong can't prevent it, not to mention that you are just a little Qi and Blood Realm warrior?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, until he drank all the wine in his wine bag, and he was still afraid.
Don't be cranky!
He shook his head and began to think about his life after going back, and he got a thousand taels of gold and married Xiaohong, the most beautiful girl in the village.
The girl was watery, white and clean, with big breasts and a big buttocks, and he had been greedy for a long time.
Thinking of the depths, he laughed "hehe", and the fear in his heart slowly disappeared.
Before you know it, it's almost midnight.
At this time, the night is already dark, and people have stopped their activities and slept peacefully.
Zhang Rui also began to get sleepy, and the bag of wine he prepared failed to last to the end.
He started singing.
Singing can also strengthen courage.
When he was a child, when he walked alone at night, he would sing, and the louder the voice, the more daring he became.
"Good sister, born well, white and tender, delicate and smooth, the old man praises, and the child picks ......"
"Brother love, handsome, tall and strong, good body, one meal, eight bowls of rice......"
Tents a few dozen meters away.
Wang Cheng sat cross-legged, and a flying sword flew above his head, extremely fast.
In the blink of an eye, it appeared ten meters away and flew back to its original position.
This speed has completely exceeded the three times that one breath hits the ten-meter target, at least ten times in one breath.
After a few days, he finally used the Soul Devouring Bead to break through the "fast" of the first stage of the "Divine Imperial Sutra" from the entry level, and he was not far from Xiao Cheng.
This is a breakthrough in the "Divine Imperial Scripture", and in fact, it is also a breakthrough in the "Soul Eater Formula", and he is more proficient in the use of the "Soul Eater Formula".
After obtaining the "Soul Eater Formula" in its entirety, the Soul Eater Bead finally burst out with the power of the world's number one evil thing!
Suddenly, the flying sword fell from above his head and fell into his hand, and he "poofed" and smiled.
This Zhang Rui is really a fucking talent!
It's just a matter of standing on the lookout and singing, and dancing.
Fortunately, it was the middle of the night, and everyone had almost fallen into a deep sleep, otherwise they would have brought him over and beaten him violently.
"Huh?!!"
Wang Cheng sighed lightly, the singing voice is gone, to be more precise, the people and the singing voice are gone.
Could it be that Zhang Rui got off the lookout?
Wang Cheng used his panoramic eye to scan the surroundings, and the tents where he lived, including some horn pimples, were searched, but Zhang Rui was not found.
A bad thought arose in his heart, and he immediately flashed out of the tent.
The bonfires in the camp are bright, and more than 70 camp tents are arranged neatly in the shape of "utensils".
It was quiet, with the occasional crackling sound of a bonfire burning.
Wang Cheng has the ability to see at night, even at night, he can see things 100 meters away.
He found that not only were the people in charge of their night watch gone, but the other three Xuanwei who were on night duty were also gone, and there was no one on several lookouts now.
"Not good!"
Wang Cheng's expression changed, and he quickly rushed to the marching tent and woke up the Xuanwu people who were resting.
He quickly said what had happened, and the faces of the Xuanwu people all became extremely solemn.
Xuanwu looked at Qian Shan, who was sitting below, and said, "Money shopkeeper, what is the situation?" Have you ever been kidnapped in Bao Chi Tang before? ”
Qian Shan said: "Similar situations have indeed been encountered, and there have also been disciples of Baozhi Hall who suddenly disappeared at night. But this place is surrounded by a fence, and the fire is full of fire, and heavy troops are deployed, and there is no reason for God to take people away without knowing it. ”
After hearing this, a thought suddenly flashed through their minds.
"You mean, these missing people were lost on their own?" Xuanwu said in a deep voice.
Qian Shan said: "I'm afraid so." ”
The white tiger, who had rarely spoken, suddenly said: "Check! Check it now! ”
"Check it out at this time?"
Wang Cheng and the other lieutenants all had doubts on their faces.
The black light is blind, and he is in a fierce place like the Valley of the Dead, and now he is going to investigate, not to mention whether he can find clues, and he can't get other people into it.
Wang Cheng looked at Pan Meng who was sitting opposite him at this time, what does this long history mean?
Pan Meng noticed it and said: "It's late at night at this time, the situation is unknown, and it is too risky to rush to investigate." ”
"Humph!"
The white tiger said no more, his figure flashed, and the people had already swept out of the camp.
Wang Cheng and the others stayed there for a while.
What does that mean?
"Since this is the case, then which part of the men and horses is lost, which one will take people to check, and the other departments will not move, guard the camp tent, and pay close attention to the surrounding movements!"
Xuanwu made a final decision, he looked at Qian Mountain on the side again, and said: "Money shopkeeper, you are most familiar with the terrain here, and you will also work hard!" ”
"Yes!"
