More than 1,000 people fought against hundreds of stone figures, and the other party was not flesh and blood, and they didn't know pain at all; besides, even if they could win, what was the point?

The crowd hurriedly retreated.

The Aliens who accompanied the army also tried to repel the stone men, but soon found that these creatures had no pain or fear, and even if they were cut off and broken into pieces, it would not be long before they could be reunited into new stone figures.

Such attacks and expulsions are pointless, they are just in vain.

At this point, Ke Yanhua didn't have a good way, so he could only urge the army to speed up. Fortunately, the stone man also walked slowly, and kept hanging behind him.

But it's not a good feeling to be left behind by this monster. After all, people have to eat and rest, and the dark mountain roads are also full of death traps, devouring many unlucky ghosts.

When they fell off the cliff, no one even had time to mourn.

In this way, until dawn, everyone was so tired that they were about to lose their strength, and some people sat on the ground and never stood up again.

In the darkness of the night, many people fell silently.

Finally, at sunrise in the east, the team walked to the top of the cliff.

Ke Yanhua was refreshed, because the distance between the cliff and the opposite cliff was only three zhang. Among the strangers who accompanied the army, there was one person with a unique magic weapon:

Jade boat.

The width of this object is less than the palm of the hand, but after the release is a ten-zhang long boat, which was originally a sharp weapon for crossing the river, and it is used on the mountains at the moment, and it is also suitable for the situation.

The stranger summoned the jade boat, and it was erected on the moat, which happened to be the passage.

More than 1,000 people walked by the boat, and the Yishi put away the jade boat again, and the stone people behind him couldn't come over.

The team is safe for the time being, and immediately rests in place. Ke Yanhua sent guards and strangers into the mountains to hunt, and he himself went to visit Mr. Min, who was seriously injured.

Mr. Min had just woken up from a coma, and his voice was still very weak, but he could give him a professional judgment: "If I am not mistaken, these stone figures are all made of lava solidification, driven by mountains, and if they are just ordinary mountain stones, red crossbows may not be able to set stones into soldiers." ”

The vast Chilu Mountains have a series of peaks, and not every rock is volcanic.

Ke Yanhua felt deeply uncomfortable: "That is, we are going to walk around the volcano?"

"Yes. ”

That's not a problem. Each mountain peak is covered with snow, and just by looking at the outside, who knows if they are the product of a volcanic eruption?

In this regard, Mr. Min did not have a good solution. He is now unable to protect himself: "Or just rest here and wait for your men to regain their energy before they can travel long distances." ”

Ke Yanhua couldn't even smile bitterly. He also wanted to do this, but human beings have to endure the cold of more than 30 degrees below zero here, and the longer they stay, the greater the physical exertion, and the only way to survive is to get out of the snowy mountains as soon as possible. And Mr. Lu, who was able to summon the Snow Pressing Beast, has died, and now everyone often gets knee-deep in the snow when they walk, or stomps on the air......

Even he is desperate at this moment.

In the afternoon, the hunting party that had been sent out returned one after another, and only one black bear, two goats, four roe deer, a dozen rabbits and pheasants, and a few plant tubers were found. It sounds like a lot, but it is a drop in the bucket for a team of more than 1,000 people, and some people are destined to not be able to eat.

In the wild in winter, there is already little food.

In the distance, two people and a cat were sitting in the treetops, watching over the camp while eating.

He Xiaoyuan and Yan Saburo both have storage space with them, so when the guards in the camp fight over a bite of half-cooked chicken, they are drinking plum wine over the tender meat. The donkey meat made from red yeast rice in the old store of Xiangyi is delicate but hides soft tendons.

He Xiaokite also contributed a few frozen autumn pears, and when I took a bite, it was sweet and crunchy.

"You made the right decision. She took another bite, "If we get back into the group, at least we won't be able to eat and drink like we are now." ”

The white cat had just eaten two large pieces of chicken, and was washing his paws and face, and every movement revealed the laziness of being full of wine and food. "Returning to the team, it doesn't matter to you and me, Qianqian is afraid that someone will be arrested and eaten. ”

When you're hungry, you look at everything like food, like a young white cat. Yan Saburo poked it in the belly in exchange for a swing. He Xiaoyuan couldn't help laughing: "Especially if you raised it so fat." ”

The white cat's beautiful heterochromatic pupils looked at her, full of murderous energy.

Who is fat? You are fat, your whole family is fat!

Yan Saburo hugged it and smiled: "It feels good like this." Changed the subject, "According to you, how long will it take for the Marquis of Zhenbei to arrive?"

"It's coming. Talking about business, the smile on He Xiaoyuan's face gradually disappeared, "With his marching speed, it will be these two days at most." She asked Yan Saburo, "Look, can the red crossbow help us buy more time?"

"No problem. Yan Saburo said quietly, "According to Chitose, the volcano that has erupted in this mountain range is not the only one that has erupted. The answer he gave was affirmative, "Within two days, King Wei will not be able to leave." ”

He Xiaoyuan still has concerns: "Now that the Red Crossbow has awakened, will other humans be allowed to pass through the Red Crossbow Peak?"

This is a key question. If the mountain after waking up is angry with other humans, the Zhenbei army will not be able to pass through the Red Crossbow Peak, and it will not be able to catch up with King Wei.

It seemed to her that the white cat stretched out its front paws on the boy's arm, meowing a few times as if to confide. Yan Saburo stroked the cat's head for a while before saying, "Not necessarily." It depends on who is coming. ”

He went on to analyze: "If it was an ordinary merchant traveler, the red crossbow might have sprinkled all the fire on them, but if the Marquis of Zhenbei came in person, it would be different. This team has strong combat power, and there are many good players in the army, and the Marquis of Zhenbei is not afraid of supernatural powers when he leads the army, even if the red crossbow faces him in his heyday, he must be worried about it. ”

The combat effectiveness of the Zhenbei Army and the withdrawal of King Wei cannot be compared. The latter fled from Shengyi in a hurry, everyone knew what was going on, morale was low, and people's hearts were panicked.

What's more, this Yamazawa has been injured one after another. He didn't forget the scene when King Wei finally escaped from the belly, "Its heart core grows in the belly, and it happened to be severely injured by the powerful people invited by King Wei, and it was forcibly awakened by us, and its original strength was not fully recovered." It has little chance of winning against the Zhenbei Army in its current state. ”

Although the red crossbow does not understand human language, it has opened its mind and has the most basic instinct of a living creature to seek advantage and avoid harm. If it senses the strength of the Zhenbei Army, it may not necessarily come forward to obstruct it.

He Xiaoyuan listened to his eyebrows, but he still pursed his lips: "What you said is just an inference." What if the red crossbow is too stupid and must stop the Zhenbei army?"
