Chapter 21: A New Grave
Li Bochen reached into his arms, took out Yan Baiheng's dagger, held it, and stood on the side of the road staring at Ye Yinghong's convoy into the distance. It was only when I saw that they had passed the mountain pass without any danger and that nothing had happened, so I breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he ran the true element, and walked slowly. When he was on the snowfield, his legs were mixed with the flesh and blood of demon beasts, and there had been no abnormalities in the past few days, but it was a good thing - he felt faster and lighter than usual when he walked and jumped, and when he stepped on the ground and lifted his feet, it seemed that the soles of his feet would have a force to gently lift him.
He walked like this for about ten minutes before exiting the gorge. In front of you, the mountain towers into the sky, and is separated from the gorge on one side by a gentle slope that can accommodate about four horse-drawn carriages in parallel.
The trees on the mountain are covered in snow, and there are occasional yellow-brown rock faces. He looked far into the woods and suddenly noticed a touch of red. Look again, it is a fiery little fox. The little fox stood on a rock wall, although it was not a tiger or a leopard, but it also had the potential of a tiger and a dragon. It nodded to Li Bochen from afar, and a burst of snow and dust suddenly stirred up around him, and he jumped into the forest.
Li Bochen was stunned - is that little fox the mountain monarch of Wujing Mountain? It should really keep its word, it really only borrowed those yin spirits from itself?
But the next moment, there was a violent shaking in the dense forest halfway up the mountainside, and a roar erupted!
Li Bochen's face changed, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart-Damn! He was too familiar with this kind of roar!
It was like a hammer tapping on a huge drum, and it was like a muffled thunder rolling through the clouds...... This is the roar of the demon beast, it is the armor beast!
The Armored Beast, shaped like a lizard, but the size of an elephant. This thing has a crocodile-like head and is covered with extremely hard armor, which is difficult to kill on the battlefield, and is often used by second-order demon beasts to rush into battle. It is usually dealt with with in the Infinite Army, usually with a bed crossbow capable of firing iron arrows, but even so, there are often some particularly sturdy brutes who do not die after two arrows.
How did this thing bypass the Dangtu Mountain defense line and run here?!
Is that Shanjun borrowing the Yin Spirit from himself to fight this thing?
Li Bochen stood on the snow in the mountain pass for a few seconds with his knife in his hand, took a deep breath to calm himself down, and realized that something was wrong.
At this moment, he could see the trees shaking and the earth and rocks splashing halfway up the mountainside. The armored beast seemed to be scurrying around in the forest, roaring incessantly. But until this time, I only heard this monster beast screaming, and it seemed that there was no companion. However, according to his experience, the low-level demon beast like the Hun Armor Beast was very slow and rarely made a sound without the control of the high-level demon beast.
But the other end in the distance seemed to be extremely excited, as if it was driven by some force!
As he thought of this, he suddenly saw a figure leaping over a tree like a bird. The figure must have been a person, and because it was wearing a black robe, it was especially conspicuous in the snow.
Is this person also fighting demon beasts? But when the thought came out of my life, I saw a red light jump up from the forest and rush towards the figure...... It's like the little fox I saw on the rock wall before!
But before the little fox could pounce, another crocodile-like mouth suddenly poked out in the forest, and one went to swallow the little fox, what else could it be if it wasn't a demon beast?
Even though it is far away, Li Bochen can clearly see that the black-robed man is not fighting demon beasts, but it should be him driving demon beasts and fighting the little fox!
He immediately took two steps forward, but stopped, remembering that he was no longer an immeasurable army. It was his duty to kill demon beasts when he was in the army, but now the most rational way should be to go to Beikou Town to warn and call the garrison there to suppress them.
Besides, looking at the black-robed man jumping like a bird in the forest, the cultivation realm must be far beyond himself, maybe it is a dragon and tiger realm. The Bai Ying he killed a few days ago could also be regarded as a third-order Dragon and Tiger Realm, but at that time, he had set a trap first, and most of it was fighting in Yan Baiheng. Now that he is dealing with a Hun Armored Beast and a master of the Dragon and Tiger Realm, it is tantamount to bringing about his own destruction.
But despite the reason, he also knew that if he really waited for him to move to Beikou Town to rescue the soldiers, the black-robed man and the demon beast would probably be nowhere to be found. He clattered with the snow under his feet, telling himself that he should get out of here, but he couldn't take a step.
At this moment, the little fox fell into the forest and seemed to have escaped. The forest immediately shook, and it should have been the armor beast that used its brute force to chase after it under the manipulation of the black-robed man. But instead of going up the hill or in any other direction, he followed the path down the hill in the middle of the forest and went straight south...... Ye Yinghong and the others left less than a quarter of an hour, if they didn't go far, I am afraid that they would be affected by a vicious fight!
Li Bochen breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that his heart suddenly calmed down.
The demon beast should be killed, and Ye Yinghong should be saved. At this moment, he suddenly realized why he had been able to endure on the snowfield for three years-probably because in the army, in that environment, there were few opportunities to make his own choices.
But there is no need to hesitate, there is only one way left in front of you, and it will save a lot of effort.
He took a deep breath and galloped along the road after the armored beast on the mountain.
......
The convoy drove out of a mile and passed the Wujing Mountain Pass, Ye Yinghong couldn't help but turn around and look back, and found that the person was still standing on the gorge, turning into a small black dot.
Shopkeeper Sun sat on the cart, even though he firmly grasped the wheels with both hands, he was still blown around, and asked breathlessly: "The owner...... What the hell is going on?"
"I don't know. Ye Yinghong said.
She didn't know why that Li Song suddenly changed his face and told herself to leave quickly. can look at the momentum on his body, and know that it is not a joke. She had seen the same momentum in her own man's body, but it was far less intense than that Li Song.
He's not just going to be a deserter. Ye Yinghong thought, listening to him talk and watching him do things, she thought that she was a clerk and staff officer in the Infinite Army. This kind of person used to be a scholar, and it was normal for her to run away without hardship, but she has always had a good impression of the scholar, and she was in the same camp as her husband, so she helped her.
But now, his identity should not be so simple.
Could he be...... The bandits' spies!?Because after listening to what he said, he had a conscience and let himself go?
Thinking of this, her face changed, and while she was immediately instructing her men not to stop the car, she was watching her surroundings carefully.
It's a sunny day, and the sun is rising high. They have a dense forest of Wujing Mountain on one side and a large gentle slope on the other. The gentle slopes and the snow on the road ahead are dazzlingly lit up by the sun.
Ye Yinghong rode her horse and galloped for a while, and suddenly found that there was a newly built small grave at the foot of the mountain in front of her, and there were two people standing next to the grave.
