"Why is this surnamed Zhao so moody! He is whipped at every turn, and he doesn't take us seriously at all!"

Fan Wu looked at the back of General Zhao leaving, his teeth itched with hatred, he was beaten by the whip and was covered in injuries, and the slightest movement made it extremely painful.

Although it was only a skin injury, the anger that arose at the same time as the pain accumulated deeper and deeper in his heart, and he couldn't vent it, which was very uncomfortable.

"General He, are you okay?" Jia Shao was worried about He Yi's situation, and set off to check the whiplash wound on He Yi's body.

Winters in the north are extremely cold, and if left untreated, wounds can quickly turn into chilblains.

"I'm fine, don't worry. Seeing everyone gathered around with a concerned look, He Yi's heart suddenly rose a little warm, and he stretched out one hand to stop Jia Shao, who wanted to check his wounds.

Beneath the clothes outside his body were bruises from the bite of wild beasts, and bloodless white flesh, and if these recruits saw it, they would probably treat themselves like monsters.

......

After nearly an hour of this, General Zhao returned.

The difference is that he came back on foot this time, and the black mount from before was gone, and General Zhao's face was also a little pale, and he didn't know what had just happened.

However, although everyone was curious, they did not dare to ask too much, and if it attracted another whipping, it was really not worth it.

"Ben has patrolled the front, the road is clear, and no enemy sentry has been found, so let's move on. General Zhao's gaze remained indifferent.

As a last resort, they walked along the path for several miles until they reached a valley.

Ahead, above the endless wilderness, there were rocks and rotting wood everywhere, and at first glance, it was lifeless and lifeless.

He Yi looked at this land and couldn't help but think back to a series of things that happened a few months ago, when he entered the Northern Wilderness Snow Field with Zhang Li and other prisoners.

"The Northern Wilderness Snow Field... I don't know if Zhang Qi and Ishikawa have managed to escape from there?"

For some reason, He Yi was secretly a little bored in his heart, he looked left and right, looking for the figure of General Zhao, but found that at some point, General Zhao had walked from the front of the team to the back of the team.

"Passing through the forest in front of you, it is the den of the thieves, you continue to walk forward, report as soon as there is news, do you understand? Ben Jiang has some pain in his abdomen, go first to make it easier!" When the team passed through the wilderness and walked into a dense forest full of dead trees, General Zhao suddenly left the queue ahead of time on the grounds that he was unwell.

Seeing this, He Yi felt even more irritable in his heart, and faintly felt that something big was about to happen.

The place was dead and silent, and as far as the eye could see, there were gray-brown dead branches that obscured the sky and the sun, and their teeth and claws danced in the direction of the wind, like the feet of a centipede swinging wildly.

The ground is covered with thick dead leaves, almost burying the soles of the feet, and when walking, a large number of dead leaves are crushed by the boots, making a burst of "click, click" sound, which sounds a little inexplicably terrifying.

"Then what kind of medicine is sold in General Zhao's gourd?" He Yi couldn't help but think.

They have been walking for half a day since they left the plain, and it will be getting late, and if they continue like this, they are afraid that they will have to set up camp in this ghost place again.

"Stop!"

He Yi asked everyone to stop moving forward for a while, looked at the strange environment around him, and asked Jia Shao beside him, "Xiao Shao, you are from Orion, you have been hunting all year round, have you been to this place?"

Jia Shao looked vigilant, thought carefully for a while, and then replied: "This place is called the Dry Snow Forest, I don't know what the specific situation is, but there are rumors in the county that this ghost place is often infested with huge and fierce beasts, which is very dangerous, so ordinary hunters will not go inside, and I am also the first time to come in." ”

"Huge fierce beast, withered snow forest ......" He Yi repeated, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Is there a Niujia Village near here?"

"Yes, it is said that at the beginning of last year, a person in Niujia Village ventured into the dry forest in order to treat his son, and found an elixir in the forest, which is said to be able to live and die, flesh and bones, and the effect is very magical......" Jia Shao said, subconsciously looked at his body covered in whip marks, and then twisted his head to the side, and muttered to Fan Wu: "If we can find it, maybe we can heal our injuries......

"That's right!" Fan Wu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he began to discuss the matter with Jia Shao in a whisper.

"Look what it is, what a beautiful flower......

Fan Wu and Jia Shao said this, they didn't notice at all, and the expression on He Yi's face became more and more embarrassed.

A general with the identity of a cultivator, a dangerous place of death, and a rare elixir......

A fierce beast that can haunt at any moment, a mortal army, an excuse to go into battle and kill the enemy......

There is an inexplicable familiarity to this scene.

He Yi thought for a moment, and suddenly froze in place.

After connecting all the clues together, he finally understood the true purpose of General Zhao's trip.

He's not here to crack down on bandits at all!

The bandits were just an excuse———— using these recruits as bait to attract the attention of the beasts lurking in the woods, and then rob the beasts of their guards.

That's what he really wants to do!

Just when He Yi was just released from prison, he had the same encounter in the Northern Wilderness Snow Plain, but this time, he was replaced by a death row prisoner to a soldier!

"Again...... That's it again!" He Yi clenched his fists tightly, and the anger in his heart had reached its peak.

From the very beginning, He Yi had already discovered the strangeness of this matter, but because he had just fought with Li Rong Village a few days ago, General Zhao used another excuse to kill Li Rong, and the county Cheng was lying on the side, so He Yi didn't think about it at all.

He believes that what happened in the Northern Wilderness Snow Field is just a coincidence, and he believes that human nature is still good after all.

In the end, it's just a joke.

These cultivators are really good at making a calculation, first let some innocent ordinary people enter the dry snow forest, find out where there are treasures and where there are dangers, and then sit back and enjoy the results, and the risk is greatly reduced.

How dare they?

How dare you do that!

It's a crime!

He Yi was furious in his heart, but it was too late.

Because at this moment, they had already gone deep into the withered snow forest, and when they looked back for General Zhao, they found that the other party had long since disappeared.

"Fan Wu, what are you doing! Don't go any further, come back quickly!!" At this moment, Jia Shao's mournful call suddenly came from the side.

He Yi heard the prestige, and saw Fan Wu running towards an extremely huge ancient tree not far ahead.

On the soil under the tree, there was an extremely beautiful and moving seven-colored flower bone, and when the strong wind swept it, the bud suddenly opened, and suddenly the fragrance overflowed, and it actually matured and bloomed at this time.

Dots of pollen flow, shimmering with a sparkling glow.

Fan Wu's gaze was completely attracted by the seven-colored flower, and he didn't notice at all that above the giant tree, an incomparably huge python head was burrowing out of the gap at the top of the giant tree, crawling out quickly.

The python was the same color as the ancient tree, almost one, and it was extremely difficult to detect its presence if it stood still.

While it stretched its body outward, its vicious eyes were firmly fixed on Fan Wu's body.

"It's the giant python in the heart of the tree!Fan Wu! Come back quickly!" He Yi was shocked.

The heart python is not a hundred-year-old tree.

Because of its huge size, and it lives in the plains, there are no mountain boulders as a shelter, so usually, this kind of tree heart python will generally look for a giant tree that is more than 100 years old, and then eat the empty tree center as a habitat.

Unexpectedly, in this dry snow forest, there would be a giant python in the heart of the tree!

He Yi called a few times, but Fan Wu didn't react in the slightest, as if he was confused by the blooming flowers, and still walked forward step by step.

The faintly fluorescent pollen lingered around Fan Wu, like a wave of color, pushing Fan Wu forward.

Fan Wu stretched out his hand and slowly grabbed the flower!

Seeing this, He Yi was in a hurry, took off the hunting bow from his back, and took the arrow to the string, he did not shoot the giant python on the tree, but aimed at the root of Fan Wu's calf.

Poof!

The arrow hit the tender flesh of Fan Wu's leg, and under the severe pain, Fan Wu let out a wail and half-knelt on the ground.

It was precisely because of this arrow that Fan Wu stopped stretching his outstretched arm.

"Pull him back for me!"

"Yes!"

Jia Shao rushed over in a few arrow steps, grabbed Fan Wu's body, and dragged him back desperately.

"Stand back! Don't go near that flower!"

Seeing that Jia Shao successfully rescued Fan Wu, He Yi finally let out a sigh and ordered the left and right not to step forward.

That gorgeous seven-colored flower, itself exudes a faint brilliance, no matter how you look at it, it is not like an ordinary thing.

Moreover, He Yi could clearly feel the powerful spiritual power contained within it.

Genius Treasure, but that's it.
