The ghost soldiers grabbed the rope, skillfully swung to the edge of the tree and fixed themselves, reached out and grabbed the hard branch or the solid trunk, used their hands and feet together, climbed up the tree three or five times, and threw the rope to the brothers and sisters who were still on the shore on the other side.

"Yes, that's how it goes. Xiao Shizhu's satisfied expression appeared on his face, and he said to the ghosts on the opposite side: "Come here in this way, go forward, and pass through this swamp." In the next day or two, we will all be monkeys, eating, drinking, and living in the trees in this swamp. ”。

"Qin Yuan!" After saying that, Xiao Shizhu's eyes fell on Qin Yuan's face on the shore, and he ordered: "You come and lead all our air cavalry to form a reconnaissance and support brigade in our air." ”。

"Yes. Qin Yuan answered, turned around and gathered the air cavalry to fly up one by one, and flew towards the formation in the swamp.

Xiao Shizhu also turned to face the north and continued to fly deeper into the swamp. The ghost soldiers behind him followed one by one, among the dead trees in those swamps, or using rope flying claws, or carrying ghost qi like Xiao Shizhu, and flew forward with the help of strength after jumping.

The wind was scowling, and these ghost soldiers were shuttling between these petrified dead trees scattered in the swamp, and their feet did not touch the ground, and they would not be swallowed by the swamp below at all.

At the beginning, although many ghost soldiers plucked up their courage, they looked at the muddy quagmire under their feet and remembered the terrifying legends here, they were still a little scared, and they were always too cautious when moving forward, and the speed of the march was naturally slow.

But Xiao Shizhu, who took the lead in front of them, did not urge them. With this kind of risky move, it is better to be cautious than to be sloppy.

Slowly, the demons also got used to jumping and shuttling between the branches, and after they were proficient in their movements, they marched a little faster.

In addition, the furious wind and sand on the shore did not blow into the swamp. It was naturally easier for the ghost soldiers to navigate the swamp, and there was a lot less resistance.

The ghost soldiers entered the swamp one by one, followed Xiao Shizhu all the way forward, and shuttled through this gloomy swamp where no Huangquan ghost clan dared to break into it for thousands of years.

After a long time, there were no ghost soldiers left on the edge of the wind-swept swamp. The ghosts who followed Xiao Shizhu all entered the swamp. Disappeared into the thin green mist that slowly rose from the mud of the swamp and spread in all directions.

"Son of God, it doesn't seem that this place is actually too dangerous!".

In the swamp, Wutou followed Ke Yun and caught up with Xiao Shizhu, who was at the forefront of the team, and said triumphantly: "After so many years, we really overestimate the danger of this place." ”。

When Xiao Shizhu heard this, he suddenly stopped his steps forward, stood behind the dead wood treetop with teeth and claws on the branches of one of the trees, looked back at the ghost soldiers coming in the mist behind him, and turned his head to look at the faint mist ahead.

In the mist, everything could only be seen in a vaguely discernible outline, so the road ahead was full of mystery and unfathomable dangers, hiding behind the mist.

After staring for a moment, Xiao Shizhu's face suddenly became solemn. He slowly shook his head a few times, and after rejecting Wutou's proudly arrogant words, he said, "What we see is only the danger in front of us, and there must be danger that we can't see in this swamp." ”。

"Wutou, you go and replace my national teacher, so that she will follow me inseparably. After a pause, Xiao Shizhu frowned tightly and said softly.

Xiao Shizhu decided that what he could think of, the method used to pass through the swamp now, may not have been thought of in the past.

But in this swamp, there was still a dead air in the fog around it. Xiao Shizhu was sure that in addition to the quagmire of the swamp that would swallow all the creatures that entered it, there must be some unimaginable danger hidden.

It's just that now he doesn't see the hidden danger for the time being, so it's better to be careful in everything.

And the five heads beside him, although they didn't know what Xiao Shizhu saw from the bottom of the thin mist, and they didn't know why he suddenly became nervous, but they still nodded and walked back.

"Don't frighten us, Son of God. Ke Yun also stared ahead for a long time, and through the glimmer of dawn sprinkled in the air, he could only see a faint mist, and the shadows of dead trees looming behind the mist, and asked a little nervously: "There won't be anything else in this, right?"

Xiao Shizhu frowned, turned his head to Ke Yun beside him and smiled indifferently, and lied without changing his face: "I just have to be responsible for your safety, just to be on the safe side, pay more attention." ”。

Seeing that his face was not nervous, and he said this again, Ke Yun also felt relieved after thinking for a while, and continued to follow Xiao Shizhu to the depths of the swamp......

The dusk on Shuoyue Island has a soothing feeling. Even though the island is still riddled with post-war wounds, it is full of devastation. But the orange red of the dusk on a sunny winter day and the slightly cold evening breeze can still make the ghosts in it feel comfortable.

Xingtian, who rode a four-horned white deer-like husband, followed Ying Zhao with a few guards, and walked towards Yuren Village after leaving Xiaoyu Mountain City.

"You said new equipment, what is that?" After leaving Xiaoyu Mountain City, he came to the official road where no one was around, and Xingtian, who was walking side by side with Ying Zhao, couldn't help but ask curiously.

Ying Zhao took him out of the city, saying that he was going to get new equipment to equip the ghost soldiers he was going to take to Huangquan, but Xingtian didn't know what it was.

"The good things that came here are all new weapons made by Mrs. Lai. Let's equip your troops first, in case you run into any trouble after entering Yellow Springs. Ying Zhao saw that there were no outsiders around, so he explained the situation to the punishment heaven: "There are many people in the city, and it is difficult to test the power of new weapons to show you, so I have to ask you to move to the Yuren Village to see." ”。

"Is there any hidden place in Yuren Village?" Xing Tian asked curiously.

Na Ying smiled without saying a word, and continued to move forward.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Xingtian also drove the beast to follow.

Soon, a group of ghosts came to the Feather People Village. Ying Zhao did not lead them to the top of the mountain with towering giant trees, but followed the foot of the mountain and came to the yin of the mountain.

But I saw the waterfall gushing out between the springs and cliffs, forming a waterfall shaped like a white rainbow and flowing straight down and falling into a pool at the foot of the mountain. There was a rumbling sound, and the water splashed where it fell.

I saw Ying Zhao stepping on the water into the pond and going straight towards the waterfall.

Xingtian, who didn't know what he was going to do, was stunned for a moment, and followed.

The water droplets that fell quickly from the top of the ghost rushed through the waterfall with the pain on the body, and suddenly opened up in front of him.

Xing Tian opened his lips slightly, and looked around everything in front of him with surprised eyes, and saw a huge cave behind the waterfall, presented in front of his eyes.

The cave in the dome is brightly lit, and there are traces of artificial opening and polishing everywhere, which are by no means natural. The halls and pavilions are arranged in a staggered manner in the caves, forming a group of buildings.

And the craftsmen and workers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom Military Weapons Supervisor shuttled back and forth between these heavily guarded pavilions and halls, busy with their own errands.

Faintly, you can still hear the clanging sound of iron coming from the depths of the cave.

"There was no cave here, and it was secretly dug by the order of the lord himself. After revealing the identities of the guards guarding the entrance of the cave, Ying Zhao left the guards behind, led Xingtian all the way forward, and slowly walked to the depths of the cave: "Even when the army surrounded Shuoyue Island, this place was never discovered by the enemy. At that time, many old and young women and children who had not had time to evacuate hid in this cave. ”。

Speaking of which, Yingzhao's face was full of pride and pride.

Xing Tian followed him all the way forward, walked around and took a look, and saw that although this cave was spacious, when it was built, a lot of thick stone pillars were dug on the spot, and the top and ground were connected. Not only can it support the roof of the cave, but the deeper the cave goes, the more complex the terrain becomes.

These pillars divide the cave into a labyrinth of layers on top of each other. It seems to be connected, but it's not, no one leads you, and you will really get lost in it and can't get out.

If Xingtian didn't follow Ying's move, he would soon get lost in this cave.

After following Ying Zhao around the halls and pavilions in the cave for a long time, they finally came to the depths of the cave. There are no temples, no stoves and long chimneys connecting vents, no whirring bellows, no anvils and grinding stones.

All that remained was an octagonal stone platform with guards guarding on all sides, and it was in front of Ying Zhao and Xingtian. Ying Zhao did not stop, and followed the stone steps leading to the top of the stone platform, towards the top of the high platform.

Xing Tian looked left and right curiously before following.

On the edge of the high platform, there are many braziers. The brazier burned with turquoise flames, spitting flames several feet high, illuminating the flat and wide top of the platform.

These weird-looking green fires have long been commonplace for ghosts like Ying Zhaotian, and they turn a blind eye.

The only thing that caught their eye was the various novel weapons placed on the stone table in the center.

On the edge of the stone table, there was a girl who was no more than twenty-six years old, dressed in a blue shirt and combing her hair, who was Mu Xian'er, the superintendent of armaments.

Beside her, there were also several craftsmen from the Armament Prison. They were all craftsmen who came from Yuque City with this batch of new weapons, and they were responsible for explaining the performance of the weapons to Xingtian.

"Heroic recruitment. After Ying recruited them, Mu Xian'er saluted and said, "General Xingtian." ”。

"Mu Jiancheng. After Ying Zhao and Xing Tian returned the salute together, Na Ying Zhao said again: "I still have official business, so it is not appropriate to stay for a long time." The matter here is Lao Mu Prison Cheng. ”。

Although he was also curious about the new weapon on the table, he had to rush to the southern port immediately and personally set up the defense in order to ensure the safety of Xiao Lingling when he arrived in a few days. I had to put away my curiosity and leave Xingtian here alone.

"Don't worry, I will definitely make it clear to General Xingtian. Mu Xian'er said, watching Ying Zhao leave.

Mu Xian'er, who retracted her gaze after a while, turned to face the stone case, and said to Xingtian beside her: "Come, General Xingtian, please allow me to introduce you to the new weapon that the Ordnance Prison has spent three years developing. ”。

With that, she reached out from the stone case and picked up an octagonal cylinder on the stone case that was five feet long and no more than two feet wide: "Let's start with the heaviest weapon." ”。

Xing Tian nodded, and looked at the object in her hand curiously.

The iron cylinder doesn't look clear, the front end is flat and octagonal, and the front is like a hornet's nest, with at least hundreds of small holes scattered throughout. Each hole is half the thickness of a finger, and you don't know what is hidden in the dark hole.

"This is a stone crushing cannon, a weapon that has been improved on the Demon God's craft. Mu Xian'er said this, and handed over the things in his hand to the subordinates beside him.

The man took the gravel cannon and carried it to his shoulder, stood on the edge of the stone platform, knelt down on one knee, and aimed his shoulder weapon downward.

"General Xingtian, please come here and watch. Mu Xian'er then led Xingtian and walked towards the stone platform.

When they reached the edge, the craftsman demonstrating the weapon pulled the trigger of the stone crushing cannon on his shoulder.
