After coming out of the barracks, the snow kept falling, and the goose-feather-like snow left only the boring color white between heaven and earth, which not only blocked the sight of Kong Ming and others, making them unable to see things in the distance, but also made them lose their sense of direction, but there was one person who was an exception, and that was Jack. At this time, the experience of the thief is fully revealed. The march in winter was itself a challenge to the army, and the heavy snow did not bother Jack, who only chose one direction and walked straight in that direction. The black wolf didn't say anything, and the rest of the people couldn't say anything, but after all, some people couldn't help it, and they still didn't see the enemy army after running for a day, which made Du Hu very puzzled, so he took advantage of everyone's rest and asked: "Jack, which direction are we heading?" There is heavy snow everywhere, you can't see clearly, don't run to the enemy camp and don't know." ”

"Don't worry, I'm watching! When we left the barracks, it was two o'clock in the morning, and now it's about ......" Jack paused to look at the sky, thought for a moment and continued: " At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, when we came out, according to intelligence, the enemy army may be about 300 miles east of our barracks, with about 50,000 people, most of them cavalry, and we have been marching eastward, so there should be no mistake, and we have walked for 13 hours, because it is snowing every hour, I estimate that we have walked more than 20 miles every hour, and now we should be able to find the enemy camp. As long as the enemy doesn't move. ”

"How do you know we're going all the way east? I can't tell the difference between east and west. ** Then asked.

"Haha, this is the experience, in the Qingyuan grassland, the winter is usually a northwest wind, haven't you noticed that we have always been close to the tailwind march? If it is a march against the wind, the march speed is slower, but although it is a tailwind, but because the terrain is different, the wind direction usually changes, fortunately I used to pass through here to go to Huatian, otherwise, we would not be able to walk so smoothly to this place, but from now on we must always be careful, because the place not far ahead may be the enemy's military camp. ”

"The enemy has definitely shifted. And it will definitely deviate from the continent that went to Huatian. The black wolf said affirmatively on the side.

"Oh, why?" asked the Eagle.

"Because they have just lost a battle, and the number of people has been greatly lost, only 50,000 people remain, which is only equivalent to one-fifth of our army, and after the loss, they were chased and killed by our cavalry for two days, they must be very tired, if they stay where they are, then they are looking for death, and if they go back along the main road, it is more suitable for us to attack all the way, who will care about who they have no morale and want to flee for their lives, so the defeat is faster. Therefore, they can only escape the fate of being completely annihilated by staggering the direction of our army's march in the steppe. The black wolf replied.

"Yes, it does, but we have to be careful of the guards they leave behind, or the scouts they stay behind, and don't run into their traps all at once, so we won't be able to draw them. Jack said. "It's been a day, black wolf, I think we should stop and rest for a few hours, how about it?"

"Well, that's the only way to do it, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to fight back against their small group of scouts. Listen, everyone, we are now camping, resting for five hours, the first post will be started by Kong Ming and Leng Jian, one post for every two people, one hour for each post, pay attention to vigilance. With that, they found a small leeward slope nearby and set up camp. Kong Ming put the horse at the bottom of the small slope, and he lay on the northeast side of the small slope to stand guard, while Leng Jian was at the other end of the camp, and the two of them were only more than ten meters away from the camp, so as to ensure that the two of them could see all the directions of the camp and not let the enemy attack. Others are beginning to build shelters.

Kong Ming saw **, picked up the sword in his hand, used his fighting spirit to split a deep ditch on the slope, put his tent (just a tarp) on both sides of the deep ditch, pressed it with soil, and the opening was facing the direction of leeward, and then surrounded the snow around the tent, a simple tent was made like this, **After taking the blanket and package from the horse into the tent, the horse was next to the exit, so that he could block the wind and protect him from the cold. And the others were the same, vaguely, five tents surrounded the tent of Black Wolf and Jack in the middle, one camp was made in only ten minutes, and the rest of the people went to rest, when Kong Ming saw them making tents, he also dug a small ditch under his body with his sword, which could only accommodate his body, and then put the blanket under it, and draped the tent cloth over it, so that he would not freeze in the snow. Kong Ming carefully observed the situation around him, and every three or four minutes, he still had to look at Leng Jian and communicate with him in a hand-to-hand manner to ensure safety. There is only snow around, after an hour of sentry, after Kong Ming handed over the sentry to Fang Tong, he hurriedly slipped into the tent of **, and two people squeezed into a tent, so that it could be more ambiguous. The tiredness of the day made Kong Ming fall asleep quickly. This sleep was very comfortable, and in the dream, there was no war or sword shadow.

"Enemy attack!!" A terrible voice came from outside. After hearing the sound of the enemy attack, Kong Ming instantly bounced up, slammed into the top of the tent, drew the long sword from his arms, threw the sword holster aside, and made a defensive posture. More than a dozen enemies had already entered the camp, coming from the east, and it seemed that the sentries in that direction had already had an accident. The more than ten people around Leng Jian, Fang Tong, Du Hu, Black Wolf and Jack were attacking fiercely, seeing James, Flying Eagle, Kong Ming and ** rushing out of the snow, Kriez rushed down from the slope, and immediately divided six people to come over to stop them, preventing Kong Ming and others from supporting Black Wolf and them. Kong Ming and the others greeted them, one against the other and began to fight, while James was one against two. Kong Ming slashed at one of the enemies, the enemy saw Kong Ming, rushed down, and stabbed the sword forward with one hand, seeing Kong Ming's sword slashing the opponent's sword, suddenly, Kong Ming found that the enemy's sword changed direction, from the stab to the side of Kong Ming's sword to the side, so that Kong Ming himself rushed directly towards him, the man led Kong Ming's sword to his side and back, and then smashed Kong Ming's head with the hilt, Kong Ming had lost his balance at this time, and saw that he was about to be smashed by the enemy, Kong Ming accelerated forward at this time, the hilt of the sword did not hit Kong Ming's head, but it hit Kong Ming's shoulder, and a burst of pain came from Kong Ming's back, which also accelerated Kong Ming's forward action, At the moment when Kong Ming and the enemy staggered, Kong Ming suddenly lifted the knee of his right foot, and hit the enemy's intestines directly, so that the enemy immediately bent down, Kong Ming borrowed the enemy's strength, and forced his forward direction to turn, the long sword took Kong Ming's left foot as the axis, turned backwards and down, and cut off the enemy's head with a sword, and the enemy's blood spurted out of his neck at once, and he went far forward, and the corpse fell directly to the ground, and the other enemies did not expect Kong Ming to solve one of them at once, and he was stunned by an enemy next to Kong Ming, and he was stunned for a moment, his fate was decided, ** took advantage of the moment he was stunned a sword stabbed directly into his throat, after killing two enemies, Kong Ming and ** immediately went to support a few people next to him. This trick directly shows the difference between soldiers who have gone through war and those who have not gone through war, if it is a soldier who has not been through war, there will definitely be a feeling of being caught off guard in this case, at least there will be a certain amount of stunned time, even if it is less, it is time, and when they react, some battles may have ended. Without waiting for Kong Ming to support the flying eagle next to him, the flying eagle had already ended his battle with the enemy, seeing the blood flowing on his arm, Kong Ming knew that he had killed the enemy and paid a lot of price, but this injury still did not make him lose his combat effectiveness, Kong Ming looked back at the black wolf and them, they formed a circle formation, supporting each other, and the enemy was helpless against them for a while, seeing this situation, Kong Ming and the flying eagle were relieved in their hearts, and the two of them attacked the remaining three people on this side together. When the three of them saw Kong Ming and the others besieging them together, they were panicked and helpless, and they were cut down by James, Kritz and ** two of them at once, and the other fainted directly, but Kritz didn't let him go, and he was directly split into two pieces with a sword, and after the battle here, Kong Ming and they immediately killed in the direction of the black wolf. At this time, the time and space Ming noticed that there were still eight enemies left, plus the five killed by them, there were as many as thirteen enemies, and judging by the situation, their level should be similar to Kong Ming and them. The eight people saw that Kong Ming and they ended the battle so quickly, obviously beyond their expectations, one of them roared in his mouth, and the enemy quickly approached him, and then rushed in the direction where they came, and suddenly broke away from the black wolf and their entanglement, and ran into the distance, Kong Ming and the others were about to chase the black wolf forward, but they were stopped by the black wolf. "Pack up your things, we'll move right away. The black wolf said directly, after looking at Kong Ming and the others looking at him strangely, he didn't explain anything, just screamed again, Kong Ming and they reacted, without asking too many questions, and immediately went to their tent, put all the things, and after cleaning up their things as quickly as possible, they took out some things from the bodies of those enemies and wrapped them in a package, and hastily buried the bodies of those enemies and Scola, and then used the fighting spirit to bury another layer of snow on it, and eliminated all the traces of the fight, there was a deep blood mark on his neck, the blood did not flow far, and his hands seemed to be grasping something, apparently he was killed by the enemy's sneak attack while he was sleeping. There was no time to sigh, and the group rode eleven horses quickly in the direction of the enemy's departure to the southeast, and soon the place was buried by a torrent of snow, as if no one had ever been here.

After walking cautiously for three hours, Kong Ming's group of people was already very tired, and their nerves were tense for more than three hours, so to speak, they were exhausted, and found a leeward slope, fortunately there was a small dirt pit under the slope, the dirt pit could probably accommodate more than ten people, the black wolf asked everyone to dismount, covered the pit with a few tents, put the horse at the mouth of the pit to block the wind, lit a fire, let James sentry outside, and the black wolf let everyone surround it. "Everyone took off their armor, examined their bodies, and treated each other's wounds. After hearing this, everyone did not speak, silently took off the armor on their bodies, and checked their bodies. After Kong Ming took off his armor, he didn't feel any wounds at first, but as the temperature in the tent rose, the feeling of freezing in his body without the slightest reaction gradually disappeared, and the pain on his right shoulder broke out all of a sudden. At one moment, a few others were also wounded, but they didn't scream, because they didn't know how far away it was from the enemy camp, and they didn't know if there were any enemy scouts nearby, and any abnormality would attract the enemy. Seeing Kong Ming's pain, he asked, "Where is the injury?"

"On the shoulder, this position. "Kong Ming pressed one hand to the place where the wound was, which would reduce the pain a little bit.

"I'll take a look. The speaker ** came over, lifted Kong Ming's hand, and saw the bruise on Kong Ming's shoulder, which was a dark blue color, and the nearby flesh was swollen, he took out some medicine commonly used in the military camp from his arms and rubbed it on Kong Ming, which can reduce pain and eliminate bruising. "It's a small thing, no bleeding, just a little injury, and it will get better in a few days. Said with a smile. Kong Ming was about to get dressed, and at this moment, he suddenly heard Du Hu shouting in a low and hurried voice: "Cold sword, cold sword, wake up, wake up." Kong Ming hurriedly looked over, but saw that Leng Jian had fainted, and Du Hu kept shaking, trying to figure out how to wake him up and everyone gathered around at once. "Don't shake it, you'll shake him to death. The black wolf said in a low voice, then a hand poked into the nostrils of the cold sword, and paused, "Just fainted, take off his clothes." Hearing this, everyone was busy taking off Leng Jian's clothes with seven or eight hands, only to see that there was a deep sword wound in Leng Jian's abdomen, and the blood that flowed out of the wound had already coagulated into a blood clot, and it never flowed out at all. "He's bleeding profusely and fainting, I wonder if the sword has stabbed his guts?" said Jack softly, "I'm glad I brought this thing with me, otherwise he would have died in the winter, if not from his wounds." After finishing speaking, I saw Jack take out a scroll from his arms, judging from the magic emitted by the scroll, this is a light scroll, and sure enough, seeing everyone's puzzled look, Jack explained: "This is a healing scroll, which can make the wound heal, this is the lowest one, any of you who is still injured, take off your clothes, and after curing the cold sword, help you heal it together, don't waste this scroll." Everyone listened to him, and they all exposed their wounds, Jack looked at it, tore open the scroll, and saw a ray of light flowing out of the scroll and shooting onto the wound of the cold sword, the wound of the cold sword was healing at a visible speed, until it disappeared, after doing it, Jack did the same thing on the wounds of several other people, and their wounds also disappeared without a trace, although Kong Ming knew the magic of light magic, and it was not the first time he saw it, but at this time, it was really a life-saving thing, and he should be prepared more in the future. Seeing that Leng Jian's face had returned to normal, everyone knew that his danger had passed, but he was no longer able to complete the next task. "We're going to rest here for a little bit longer, probably until this heavy snowstorm has passed. The black wolf said, looking at Jack, obviously because Jack had just joined their gang, they didn't know much about each other, and Jack was a thief, so he might have more say in this regard. Jack nodded, "This snow is too big, we can't scout in this weather, and if one of them is not good, they may freeze to death on the grassland, so we will rest here for a few days, and wait for this snowstorm to pass, and at the same time make their injuries heal, what do you think? Jack looked at the black wolf. "Well, that's all there is to it. Bring all the horses in, let James come in too, and don't keep a sentry outside, we'll just stand guard in there. The original passage with the outside is blocked, leaving only one opening for air intake. Listening to what the black wolf said, Kong Ming and the others felt a little incredible, if they didn't sentry, how would they know if the enemy came again, if they were attacked again, would they still be so lucky this time, only to meet some unangry guys. But they didn't ask, because this was the army, and even if they had great curiosity, they wouldn't ask, and there was something they couldn't know, because it seemed to them that the black wolf must have something to stand guard against, and to give advance warning. Drive the horses in a little bit, and plug the hole with a tent, leaving only a small hole, about a foot in diameter, near the mouth to the ground, from which the wind will come in, and then go through some small gap where the tent meets the ground. A crowd of people crowded into such a place made the air smell very bad, but since they were all soldiers, these were very normal for them. After everyone was settled, the black wolf took out a cylindrical thing from the saddle package, drove one end into the dirt next to it, and then leaned his ear against the membrane at the other end of the cone, everyone was a little puzzled by his action, only Jack was indifferent to this action, apparently he had seen this kind of thing, and knew how to use it. After a while, the black wolf's ears finally left the tube, and looking at the puzzled look of everyone, the black wolf acted as a commentator, " This is the earpiece, put it against the ground or press it into the ground, listen to the vibration of the skin above, you can judge whether someone is approaching, and the master can also use these vibrations to judge the number of people coming, what the strength is, of course, if there are too few people, or the master comes, this thing is not very useful, but now at this time, we can only use this thing to warn, anyway, we have eliminated the traces outside, as long as the horse does not bark, we keep quiet and will not let the enemy find out. Fang Tong, when you come to be on alert, the others put the things they took from the enemy in the center to see if they can find a clue to go to the enemy camp. "Everyone put everything they took from the enemy next to the middle fire, but among this large pile of things, there were only some miscellaneous things such as money bags and daggers that soldiers usually used, and there were no things that Black Wolf and Jack needed, which made everyone very disappointed. The black wolf waved his hand, and after everyone disposed of these things, let everyone take out the dry food and roast it. While everyone was eating, the black wolf said: " Here I want to tell you about the matter of standing guard, everyone has seen the fate of Scola, from what we checked later, he let the enemy's thieves sneak attack to death in a dream, if he didn't sleep, we wouldn't have let the enemy sneak attack, and everyone wouldn't be injured, fortunately, the enemy's ability is obviously not high, so it didn't cause greater losses, we are now within the enemy's sphere of influence, and there may be another enemy attack at any time, so from now on, everyone should not relax when resting, the sword should be carried with you, or two people in a post, be vigilant, don't do similar things again。 Except for the sentry, everyone rested. After listening to the words of the black wolf, everyone didn't speak anymore, they fell asleep against the pit wall, Kong Ming was about to lie down, and suddenly remembered one thing that the old hunter said, that is, in the days when he got along with the sword god, he always saw the sword god spent in constant meditation, as if he didn't have to sleep, then time and space Ming only felt that this was a joke, and didn't take it seriously, but now he is next to the enemy, and he may be attacked by the enemy again at any time, without the strength to be stronger, he may die under the enemy's sword or magic at any time like his comrades, began to meditate, he was not distracted while meditating and cultivating Dou Qi, both, maybe in the end, he didn't want to get anything, Kong Ming didn't want to drag himself into a dangerous situation because of the simultaneous progress of the two. When meditating, Kongming's mental exhaustion for days slowly receded, in this kind of cold environment, obviously there are not many fire elements, more ice magic elements, but the space elements here I don't know if it's because it's in an open place, the space elements here are a lot more than other places, these space elements are in the meditation of Kongming, slowly dissolved into Kongming's dantian, and at the same time accompanied by a small amount of fire elements, and Kongming's spirit is also slowly recovering because of meditation, it seems that there is still a lot of growth and growth。 Three days had passed in the cave, and they had been here for three days, and they had not gone out once during those three days, and they had not seen any movement from the earpiece, and the snow had stopped on this day. In these three days, Kong Ming has been sitting there, sometimes meditating, sometimes cultivating Douqi, always switching between each other, after waking up from meditation, he directly cultivates Douqi, and vice versa, this kind of cultivation, especially under the pressure of life and death, has undoubtedly made Kong Ming have a huge harvest, making Kong Ming's fire dragon fighting qi more condensed, and because of an advanced cultivation method, it also makes Kong Ming's strength grow faster, although it has not entered the point of a fourth-level swordsman, but I believe that this is not too far, after all, cultivation is very fast at the beginning, and the more difficult it is to the back。 At the same time, the others have completely recovered in the past three days, Leng Jian has also woken up, and his body is no longer fine, but he is still a little weak. Seeing this, the black wolf told everyone to pack up their things and leave the place. When everyone walked out of the hole, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, the grassland has become a white snowfield, the white snow will release the light as much as possible, so that Kong Ming and the others all closed their eyes at once, from the dark hole, all of a sudden to the dazzling outside, no matter who can adapt to this situation at once. When the discomfort passed, Kong Ming and the others opened their eyes again, and they couldn't help but be stunned by the qiē in front of them, the snow field was already indistinguishable from the southeast and northwest, the wind was still blowing again, and the snowflakes on the snow field were also brought up by them, and they floated not far away and got into the snow field, and the uneven snow field made Kong Ming and the others not know what to do, and everyone looked at Jack together. Jack shook his head and said, "Don't look at me, in such a day, only the herdsmen who have lived on the steppe for many years can discern the direction, thieves like us only know some simple methods, and can discern when they walk out of the camp, but now, I have to say, I can't discern where to go." He smiled wryly. The black wolf also pondered again, if he didn't leave here, the food that everyone brought was no longer enough, and it was impossible to hold on for too long, and he didn't know the direction and how to get out if he left here. Everyone didn't speak, and at this moment, the flying eagle next to Kong Ming said, "Captain, are you going to the enemy camp, or are you going back?" When everyone heard this, they all looked at the flying eagle.

"You grew up on the prairie?" asked Jack.

"The grassland is my home, and I have lived here for more than ten years. The Eagle nodded in reply.

"You come to lead the team, we have to move in the direction of the enemy camp, do our best to complete the task and go back, I figured out that this heavy snow, this war should stop, no one wants to fight a war in such weather. The black wolf said as he looked into the distance.

"Okay, everybody come with me. Saying that, the flying eagle took the lead in riding the horse, discerning the direction, and after seeing everyone on the horse, he was about to move in one direction, but was stopped by the black wolf, "Kong Ming, Du Hu, bury the traces." After Kong Ming and Du Hu answered, the two of them pulled out their long swords, and a few fighting slashes directly beat the big pit to pieces, and a few times, the snow next to them was smashed into the pit, so that people look no different from other places from above, of course, this kind of elimination traces can only be used in the short term, but this is enough, when these traces are exposed, it is also a short period of time, at that time, Kong Ming They have long not known where to go.
