Text Chapter 426 Cannon Fodder
The state is mountainous, and the mountains here are stretched, steep and abrupt.
At this time, the white mist spread all over the mountains, covering the radius of more than ten miles, making people indistinguishable, like a vast sea of fog, only occasionally one or two tall trees timidly poked out their heads, and the turquoise canopy was like a small island floating on the sea, lonely with a trace of desperate qi.
At this moment, on a flat beachhead near the mountain range called Juelong Ridge, there is a camp that pays attention to accommodating hundreds of people, and the camp tent is like a seal, like the stars and the moon, a beautiful big tent is guarded in the center, next to this huge and gorgeous camp tent, there is a reed tent that has been built, burning incense and burning candles seem to be waiting for the arrival of big people, especially the guards around the reed tent are even more vigorous, full of fierceness, obviously they are all tiger and wolf divisions composed of veterans of a hundred battles.
The light of day broke and the morning sun infected, and the fire that had burned all night inside and outside the camp gradually dimmed, and many slaves went in and out of the tent like industrious ants, waiting for the noble warriors to wash and eat, and the whole camp looked like an orderly market, quiet but orderly.
"Report, there's news!"
At this moment, a scream broke the silence of the entire camp, and then a figure rushed straight to the big tent in the center of the camp, and a moment later, a gorgeously dressed and arrogant Origin Spirit Commander came out of the tent and rushed towards the camp gate under the guidance of the person who had entered the tent before.
When I arrived at the gate of the camp, I saw that Chen Liqun, who had been arranged to explore the path in the dense fog yesterday, and the first four people who were sent out were all waiting here at the moment, except for being in a state of exhaustion, messy and dirty, and with a dirty face, there were no other injuries on their bodies.
"I've seen Elder Zhang!"
After Chen Liqun and the four of them saw this person, they hurriedly saluted, their faces covered with dust and dust, and they couldn't see the demeanor of a martial artist.
The person in front of him is a Primordial Soul of the Louvre, although he has not yet completely condensed the true spirit, but he is also one of the top ten Primordial Spirits sent by the Louvre this time, and his status is lofty, and it is by no means comparable to the small sect of Chen Liqun and the other four people, and the people with shallow foundations.
"No need to be polite, what's going on with this white mist, have you found out what happened inside?" Elder Zhang of the Louvre waved his hand and asked in a deep voice, obviously the vision caused by Zhao Han's Gu array had attracted the attention of the Louvre and the Ziyang Demon Sect and other factions that had gathered this time, but he was afraid of the fierce power that the young lady in the white dress had set up before and did not dare to act rashly, so he could only wait patiently for the results in the camp after sending several batches of cannon fodder to explore the way.
Chen Liqun and the others looked at each other speechlessly, and their faces showed just the right amount of shame, and finally Chen Liqun spoke, "Back to Elder Zhang, the situation we encountered this time is also a little blind. ”
"Oh, let you all be blinded?"
"Elder, after a few of us entered the dense fog area, we quickly separated, and then I touched the direction guided by the map in my memory, and almost lost all the food, food, and water along the way, and then I found that the fog in the white fog area was so thick that even if I tried my best, I could only see a radius of three or four zhang at most. ”
Chen Liqun licked his dry lips, seeing that Elder Zhang still had a blank slate on his face, waiting for himself and others to explain, he didn't dare to delay, took a breath and sorted out the words that had been prepared before, among them, pinching the head and removing the tail, and really described the experience of entering the dense fog area carefully, especially the panicked feeling of disorientation after entering it and the damage caused by the dense fog to himself, and he said it in detail without reservation.
"This dense fog is by no means normal, not only can it be fascinating, but it is also extremely corrosive to the body, I personally recommend that it is better to quit, wait for the fog to fade, or the elder you have a new way to deal with these dense fog, otherwise, I estimate that if I stay in it for a few more hours, my whole body will be corroded into a pile of dry bones. ”
After saying that, Chen Liqun ignored the Louvre Elder's iron-blue face, stretched out his palm and flipped it over, revealing the back of his hand that had been corroded with several blood blisters to show the other martial artists around him who had been attracted to him.
"Okay, this is the Louvre's Baicao Snow Jade Pill, take it externally and take it internally, and it will be completely cured in no more than three days. Elder Zhang's face sank, and he resisted the urge to slash the idiot in front of him to death with one palm, took out a small jade bottle and threw it over.
"The Hundred Herbs Snow Jade Pill of the Louvre, thank you, Elder!" Chen Liqun's eyes lit up, he took the jade bottle and uncorked it on the spot, and a strong medicinal fragrance came to his nose, making him involuntarily show a touch of intoxication, and the wound on his hand seemed to be a little better.
"Well, do you remember if you encountered anything else after entering the Fog Zone, and have you met any other friends who have entered the Fog Zone?"
Chen Liqun bowed his waist, thought for a moment, and said, "Elder Hui, after we entered the Dense Fog Zone, except for the last chance to get together and come out, we didn't meet any other friends, and we didn't know that several elders would send others in again, so we didn't pay attention. As for other anomalies, the elders don't say anything, but there is indeed one case. ”
When Elder Zhang heard this, his breathing tightened, and he immediately acted as if nothing had happened: "Oh, what is the abnormality?"
"Elder Hui, after entering the dense fog area, especially after going deep into a certain distance, we feel that our ears have lost their function, and we don't know whether we can't hear or no sound comes out, and the surroundings are very quiet, as if the dense fog around us is like a cover, blocking all sounds, making people in a very, very quiet environment, except for the sound of footsteps, only the sound of our own heart beating. The more Chen Liqun spoke, the quieter he became, and in the end, he couldn't help but shudder, his face was full of fear, "That feeling, it's like ......."
"Like what?"
"It's like dead. ”
"Hiss~"
The people around who rushed over to watch after hearing the news couldn't help but gasp one after another, only to feel that someone seemed to be blowing cool air behind their necks, making them subconsciously take a few steps back, and then looked at the thick mist not far away, their eyes were already full of jealousy and uneasiness.
"Nonsense, it's just a lie!"
This Elder Zhang of the Louvre himself was also taken aback, but he immediately reacted, and when he saw the looks on the faces of the people around him, he became even more annoyed, he scolded angrily, and immediately grabbed Chen Liqun's shoulders, his eyes swept over the faces of the other three, and said viciously, "You guys don't want to make progress, you shouldn't have completed the assigned tasks, and you bewitched the people and deliberately shirked it, it's damned!"
"The elder is wronged, what we said is the truth, there is no lie!" Chen Liqun and several people shouted in understanding when they heard this, their faces were full of grievances, and they even asked for help from the people around them, "If you don't believe it, you can go to the dense fog to test it to see if what we say is right or wrong." ”
"Shut up, what you said before is just the words of a family, and when the other colleagues who were sent back, you will compare it again, and now you will go to the big tent with me first!"
The elder surnamed Zhang waved his sleeves suddenly, and suddenly a strong wind struck, and the majestic momentum suddenly overwhelmed Chen Liqun and the others speechless.
"The rest of you keep an eye on the changes in that thick fog, and if anyone else comes out, you will take it directly into the Great Tent, and there shall be no mistake. ”
Elder Zhang glared around again, silencing the other low-level martial artists, and then divided a few spiritual powers to trap Chen Liqun and a few others and pull them into the big tent.
Seeing this, the other martial artists breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at each other silently, leaving the people on duty and hurriedly dispersed.
"Well, this is still suspicious, do you want to verify it, it's really vigilant. However, isn't this exactly what I need, just enough to delay the time for the little fifth sister to break through. ”
In front of the stone wall in the center of the dense fog, Zhao Han's deity frowned, revealing a thoughtful look, and then his mind moved, and several figures distributed in the dense fog moved quickly, rushing towards the camp outside the dense fog.
"The people who were put back this time include the second, third and fourth batches of the next, which makes them even more confused, and they dare not act rashly, with the Weihe made by the little fifth sister before, these people are so desperate, there are many doubts in this thick fog, and it is estimated that it can be delayed until those too mysterious powers arrive. ”
Outside the camp, those martial artists on duty felt a fluctuation in the sea of fog not far away, and then several figures rushed out of the dense fog, one by one, as gray and embarrassed as Chen Liqun and the others before, but they did not suffer any other serious injuries except for the abrasions on the outside of the body.
"You ...... Are you all out?" The warrior on duty guarding the door widened his eyes, and after letting his companion next to him take the first step to report to the big tent, he asked, "I remember you didn't go in at the same time, did you?
"The others don't know, after entering, it's white, and soon after entering, they can't even see clearly within five zhang, they can't distinguish the direction, and they don't know where they have gone around, and then this fog is very scary, you see. ”
The person who spoke was named Li Goushan, who was the leader of the rising generation in Cangzhou in recent years, and advanced to the Baodan realm at the age of less than forty, which was enough to make some disciples of major sects ashamed, but unfortunately he lacked foundation, and there was no strong sect protection behind him, so he was forced to be cannon fodder for the Ziyang Demon Sect and the Louvre Palace this time, and was sent into the dense fog as the third batch of personnel.
At this time, as soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hands, and saw that his hands were up to his wrists and below were a blur of flesh and blood, and the wound was so bloody that he could even see the white bones.
The martial artist on duty gasped, and only then did he notice that except for Li Goushan, the other personnel who had returned from the dense fog had more or less injuries of this degree, and most of them were directly exposed on the back of their hands, face, neck, and other places without clothing to cover them.
