Chapter 34: Temptation
To be able to become a general, even if it is only a middle-level general, Wang Xing still has his advantages. Soon, Wang Xing came over and said to the rest of his subordinates: "The demon beasts that are chasing us are the most numerous and powerful. After exterminating these demon beasts, the others are not to be feared. Take a break in place, and then we'll go find the others. Let's hope they weren't eaten by the monsters......"
After a brief rest, Wang Xing returned with a dozen remnants of soldiers along the way of escape, looking for other soldiers. And the flying boat piloted by the dead soldiers of the Chu State has been floating above them.
The terrain in the Shifang Mountains is intricate, and more than ninety percent of the ground is covered with tall and lush trees, so it is not easy to find a landing spot. And just after the impact of the beast tide, there are no demon beasts around, and they have all fled far away, so they are not afraid of another beast tide.
Of course, this premise is that they don't make a louder noise and attract monsters farther away.
Even if they knew this, they had just experienced the impact of the beast tide, Wang Xing and the others were still a little frightened, and there was a little movement around, and they all had to stop and take a closer look, which was quite a bit of a smell of grass and trees.
After walking for almost a quarter of an hour, Wang Xing finally returned to the place where he was separated from the rest of the team with a dozen defeated remnants. After observing the several roads formed by the impact of the beast tide, Wang Xing said: "Go this way, this side is the first team to separate, let's see if they are still alive." ”
The road Wang Xing was referring to was the same road that the three soldiers who were interrogated by Cheng Bang escaped.
Not long after the three soldiers ran, they were caught up by Cheng Bang and others, and they were only a few hundred meters away from the separation point. Soon, Wang Xing took people to that place.
There was no road ahead, and there were no signs of a major battle around.
"What about the people who are running away this way?" Wang Xing thought with some suspicion.
"General, look here!" shouted a soldier with eyelids, pointing to a large tree by the side of the road. Wang Xing walked over and took a look, and now there were three vines next to the roots of the big tree, and there were a few messy footprints around the roots.
"Looks like someone did come here. But what are these three vines for?" Wang Xing was a little puzzled. The messy footprints lead to the depths of the dense forest, and the soldiers who ran here should have run into the depths of the dense forest.
After a little scrutiny, Wang Xing gave up the idea of continuing to look forward. It is undoubtedly quite difficult to find a few soldiers without obvious traces, and judging by the traces on the ground, there should be few soldiers who have fled here, and there is no need to waste that time for one or two soldiers.
After thinking about it, Wang Xing returned the same way with the people and continued to look for other people.
ran several roads in succession, but Wang Xing and the others did not gain anything. They found nothing but a few identical vines on the second pathway. There are corpses at the end of the path, but they are all corpses of demon beasts. Judging from the scars on the corpses of those demon beasts, it was obvious that they were killed by humans. However, when he was being pursued by the demon beast, did his soldiers have the courage to turn around and kill the enemy?
Wang Xing was very skeptical of this.
All the pathways did not have their people or the corpses of their people, and Wang Xing had a bad premonition in his heart.
"General, could it be that someone from the Yue Kingdom did it?" said a clever soldier suddenly. He remembered that it was precisely because of the people of the Yue Kingdom that the flying boat opened fire, and then attracted a large number of demon beasts, and finally led to the beast tide.
"Hmm!" Wang Xing felt that it was very likely that this would be the case. If this is the reason, it can explain why a large number of demon beasts were killed, while their people disappeared without a trace. It is very likely that their people were taken away by the people of Yue Guo. Looking at the remaining two pathways, Wang Xing ran forward quickly: "Here, if we move fast, maybe we can save a few people!"
Half an hour later, Wang Xing heard the screams and the roar of the demon beast from the front, and his steps were a little faster: "Just ahead, hurry up!"
Soon, Wang Xing led people to the end of the passage and saw five of his soldiers. It's just that under this look, Wang Xing was furious and scolded directly: "You five are fools? There are only two demon beasts here, can you be scared like this?"
It turned out that the five soldiers had all run to a big tree, and four had already climbed to the top of the tree, squatting on the branch and looking down, while a dumb fellow did not climb up, and held on to the halfway of the trunk, for fear that he would fall.
Underneath the tree, two tin rhinos roared and slammed into the trunk, screaming as if they were about to fall. And the four soldiers who climbed to the branch were so frightened that they did not dare to climb down a little and dragged the last soldier up.
Hearing Wang Xing's voice, the soldier who was holding the trunk of the tree cried and cried: "General, save me! I have no strength and am about to fall...... I don't want to die, I don't want to be trampled into flesh......"
The four soldiers on the branches were ashamed, and they lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Wang Xing.
Hearing the movement from behind, the two iron-clad rhinoceros turned around and rushed towards Wang Xing and the others.
The two iron-skinned rhinoceros with rough scalps and thick flesh and infinite strength charged up, which was very dangerous for ordinary soldiers, but for Wang Xing, who had reached the peak of the Qi Stimulation Period, it was not a problem.
I saw Wang Xing pull out his sword, and with a sword in his hand, he pierced an iron-skinned rhinoceros that charged to his side, blood gushed out, and the iron-skinned rhinoceros staggered a few steps, fell on the road and did not move.
The other iron-skinned rhinoceros saw his companion fall to the ground and did not move, and charged towards Wang Xing even more fiercely, and was also killed by Wang Xing with a sword.
After making sure that he was safe, the five soldiers on the tree cautiously climbed down and approached Wang Xing by hiding from the surrounding woods. They were really frightened, for fear that there would be some monsters rushing out of the woods next to them.
"Just the five of you, what about the others?" Wang Xing frowned and asked in a cold voice.
"Someone else...... I lost it, and a few of my brothers were hit by the tin rhino and flew away......" replied the soldier who was holding the trunk of the tree just now.
"You ......" Wang Xing pointed to the five soldiers, speechless angrily: "The two iron-headed rhinoceros have forced you to this point...... I'm so angry!" he didn't think about it, he himself was chased around by a group of demon beasts just now. If it weren't for the flying boat following him all the time, maybe he wouldn't be as good as these five soldiers now.
After saving these five soldiers, Wang Xing also gave up. It seems that there are only a few of the more than 100 soldiers left.
Looking at the few dozen or so soldiers around him, Wang Xing's heart swelled with sadness. This hasn't seen Princess Qinghe and the main force of Yue Guo, there are only a few people left with him, what if he sees the main force of Yue Guo?
Thinking of Princess Qinghe and thinking of Yue Guo, Wang Xing was angry in his heart again, and his teeth were clenched.
Wang Xing directly attributed the experience of himself and others to Yue Guo. If they hadn't attacked their flying boat, the flying boat wouldn't have exploded, and it wouldn't have attracted the attention of the demon beasts, eventually attracting a tide of beasts.
"Yue Guo, I must make you pay!Princess Qinghe, I must catch you!" Gritting his teeth, Wang Xing looked at the flying boat floating above them.
This flying boat was his only reliance.
Yue's "Huangfeng" has crashed, and there are no masters among them, as long as the flying boat is still there, Wang Xing has the capital to compete with Yue.
In fact, if Princess Qinghe could not be caught, Wang Xing would not dare to return to Chu at all. Leaving the garrison with troops without permission, if Princess Qinghe is caught, no one will care, but it will be a great achievement. If he goes back like this, he will lose two flying boats and so many soldiers, and only the judgment of the military department awaits him, and when the time comes, he may not even be able to save his life.
Whether it is for his own future or for his own life, he must catch Princess Qinghe! Wang Xing is determined to fight!
"Feizhou, follow us! Prevent the introduction of a new beast tide, and don't fire a cannon without my order! The rest of the people will follow, we will go and capture Princess Qinghe and atone for our sins!"
On a big tree a hundred meters away, Cheng Bang had grass roots in his mouth, observing Wang Xing and the others through the gaps between the leaves.
There are more than twenty people, two at the beginning of the Qi Period, one at the peak of the Qi Period, and the rest are ordinary soldiers in the round body stage. You can't eat it on your own...... It seems that they can only be lured to the ambush point and wiped out.
After following the passage stepped out by the demon beast and solving most of the lucky Chu soldiers, Cheng Bang, Jiang Mei and others arrived at the last passage, and happened to see Wang Xing leading people to rescue these five soldiers.
After letting Jiang Mei and the others hide, Cheng Bang approached here alone to explore the remnants of the Chu State. A hundred meters away, Cheng Bang could clearly hear the conversation between Wang Xing and those soldiers.
"Don't let the flying boat attack?" just relieved my worries...... Chengbang smiled and disappeared into the forest.
After the rendezvous, Wang Xing and his men recovered the discarded weapons and equipment and returned to the road. They wanted to return to the point of origin and re-find the traces left by Ariel Ye and the others. In the absence of a way out, even if there is danger, they will continue to search.
Not long after they set off on their journey, there was a noise in the woods beside them.
Wang Xing stopped, stared in the direction where the voice came from for a while, and said to the two subordinates, "You two, go in and have a look." ”
"General, this ......" The two soldiers had a difficult look on their faces and didn't want to go in. For them who have just escaped the beast tide, the dense woods represent the monsters, and it means that they will be torn apart.
"What are you grinding and chirping?" Wang Xing said impatiently: "If you can't catch Princess Qinghe, we will all die! Sooner or later, what are you afraid of?" Seeing that the two soldiers still didn't move, Wang Xing directly pulled out his sword and threatened.
