Volume 1: Born to Be a Hero Chapter 8: Mysterious Snowfield

After walking for a long time with his memory, the large array changed again, and the land around He Yi was completely covered by the mist, forming a chaos.

He paused, waiting for the illusion to take shape.

At the moment, you can't find food, and you can't find clues to the big array gate, so you can only find a way to break the formation.

Although the Mirage Great Array is powerful, it is not completely without a way to crack it, such as finding a mountain range or path that crosses the entire Northern Desolate Snow Field, as long as this thing is long enough and big enough that it will not be completely covered by the formation, he can walk out of the Mirage Great Array along such a thing.

Of course, such things are not so easy to find.

......

After the illusion was fully formed, the phantoms of several soldiers appeared in He Yi's front room.

Their expressions were frightened, and they stood in front of them with weapons in hand, as if there was some terrible demon in front of them.

Then, He Yi saw that two of the soldiers were suddenly knocked away by some huge force.

In mid-air, a huge blood hole suddenly appeared in their abdominal cavity, and the blood flowed down the air, forming a transparent, curved, fang-like arc of terror.

Seeing this, the rest of the soldiers fled in a frenzied direction to the other side.

At this point, the illusion vanished.

"The shape of the fangs?" He Yi recalled the appearance of the blood sliding down, and fell into deep thought.

The illusion in this mirage array could not appear out of thin air, so what was being shown now must be something that had actually existed, and these surviving soldiers must have encountered some kind of giant beast here.

However, the thing did not leave any traces here, so the illusion only reflected the attacked soldier, not the appearance of the beast.

Could it be that in this snow field, in addition to the snow beast Xuanming, there are other demon beasts? He Yi wondered in his heart.

But why haven't you seen a single bird in the month you've been wandering?

After thinking about it, He Yi still decided to continue the search in the direction of the soldiers' escape, if he could find the soldiers alive, he might be able to learn the correct route out of the snow field from their mouths.

Following the direction, He Yi came to a sparsely grown cedar forest, the few greens, which could be regarded as bringing some vitality to this dead and silent place.

There are clear traces of a battle here.

Some of the thick tree trunks were shattered by the huge brute force, and they were deeply sunk into the soft snowdrifts, He Yi reached out and touched them, the touch was real, not the illusion caused by the large array, and there were some huge beast hoof prints, broken spears, and snow blocks mixed with blood and water around them.

By this time it was already dark, He Yi lit a torch and continued to explore, and soon found several broken wooden horses surrounding the camp.

There is a burnt fire in the center, and there are many spears, shields and other weapons stacked on the side.

It seems that the soldiers had set up camp here.

Next to a pile of scattered debris, He Yi found several large bags of animal meat that had not yet had time to be transported away, and He Yi, who was already hungry, couldn't hold back any longer, rushed over and tore off a beast leg, and gnawed wildly.

Just as he was gobbling it up, a sharp cold light swept up from behind He Yi and pointed straight at his heart!

"Beware!" There was a loud shout from the side, but it was Zhang Li, who was holding a torch and running desperately in the direction of He Yi!

He Yi heard the sound, and the gnawing action suddenly stopped.

Feeling the fierce sound of wind coming from behind him, he didn't even think about it, and pulled out the demon slaying sword and slashed back with all his might.

Boom!

There was a sound of gold and iron, bursting out of a tragic spark, reflecting the faint light of the torch, He Yi saw a scarred soldier, his eyes were sunken, his eyes were frightened, and his face was still extremely pale under the reflection of the firelight.

The soldier held the spear in both hands, and after fighting with He Yi, he was kicked to the ground by Zhang Li, who was galloping.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Li quickly pressed the dagger against the opponent's throat.

"Are you alright?" said Zhang Li, turning his back to He Yi.

"It's fine. He Yi glanced at Zhang Qi gratefully, if he hadn't reminded him, he was afraid that he would have been shot through the heart by this soldier.

"It's okay. Zhang Li nodded, and when he saw the bags of meat next to him, he suddenly showed a hungry wolf-like look, and said, "You come to judge him, I'll go eat something first, I'm dying of hunger!"

As he spoke, Zhang Li handed the dagger to He Yi, and he strode towards the bag containing the beast meat, and when he passed by He Yi, he said in a muffled voice: "What happened just now, I'm sorry, it's my fault - it's still a stinky problem in prison." ”

Knowing that mistakes can improve a lot, He Yi nodded to him and forgave him.

......

He Yi looked down at the appearance of the soldier, he was not very old, the immaturity on his face had not completely faded, and his appearance was also delicate, probably an ignorant boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.

This should have been a carefree and wandering age, but unfortunately fate made people and was conscripted into the barracks.

What were you doing when you were sixteen or seventeen?

He Yi couldn't help but think back to the time when he was first imprisoned, and then smiled bitterly and threw the past out of his thoughts.

"Why are you still here?" He Yi asked, looking at the soldier.

Compared with questions such as "why are you attacking me", He Yi is more concerned about the current situation in this snow field.

Moreover, this person is a soldier and a prisoner with himself, and he is also a prisoner who escaped without permission, so it is normal for them to be hostile.

"You are... Those death row inmates? I thought... It's good to be a human being, it's good to be a human being..."After the soldier saw the prison uniforms on He Yi and Zhang Li's bodies, he somehow let out a sigh of relief as if he had instantly lost his spirit, and then lay on the ground limply, with cold sweat on his forehead, and the spear in his hand was also thrown aside.

That's when you're suddenly relaxed after extreme tension and panic.

"It's good to be human? What does it mean to be human?" This sentence is very terrifying, and when He Yi heard this, his brows furrowed even more.

"What the hell is going on?" he asked quickly, vaguely feeling that it had something to do with the unknown ferocious beast.

"We seem to be trapped in this place. The soldier swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said weakly: "Originally, the food was enough to hold on for a while, and we were slowly looking for a way out, but a few days ago, our camp was attacked by a sudden evil beast......

Recalling the previous scenes, the soldier was still palpitating, and he was afraid.

"Evil beast?" Zhang Qi, who was gobbling up behind him, raised his eyebrows, stopped chewing for a while, and scolded rudely: "Let your mother's bullshit gossip! Lao Tzu has been running around in this snowfield for a month, don't say any evil beasts with bird feathers, and he hasn't even seen a piece of bird shit! Do you think that if we forge some footprints, we will be fooled? If you don't tell the truth, Lao Tzu will end you up now, fill your stomach with your meat!"

He Yi also nodded, for such a long time, they really hadn't seen any living creatures in the snowfield, but looking at the soldier's nervous expression, as well as the old wounds covered in bandagesβ€”β€”β€”β€” there were a few of them that had not yet had time to be bandaged, and they were obviously the claw marks of some kind of beast.

Footprints can be camouflaged, but wounds can't be camouflaged, who will be idle and hurt themselves?

Coupled with the illusion He Yi had seen before, he couldn't help but not believe it.

He Yi wanted to ask something more, but before he could speak, he heard a rush of footsteps in the darkness on the side.

It was a group of heavily armed sergeants, about twenty or thirty men, each armed with spears and swords that glittered with cold light, and quickly surrounded them.

"Who are you? Release them or we're going to be rude!"

"Ishikawa, are you alright?"

"Look at their clothes! they're escaped prisoners!"

β€œ......”

The encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, and He Yi has to face them back to back with Zhang Li, in case he is attacked by the enemy.

Zhang Li dragged the soldier named Ishikawa up and blocked it in front of him as a meat shield, while He Yi pulled out the demon slaying sword and held it in front of him, and the two sides were deadlocked for a moment, and neither of them took the lead.

"We have no ill will. "Just trying to figure out what's going on here." ”

If there is no need, He Yi really doesn't want to do anything with anyone, and consumes his physical strength for no reason.

In today's situation, whether it is a soldier or a prisoner, it is just the identity of a survivor, if you can't survive successfully, any old grudges are just a stench in your intestines, and if you can let it go, it's better to let it go than to hold it back.

Just as Zhang Li attacked He Yi, but He Yi did not have the same knowledge as him.

"Release them first!" said the soldiers vigilantly.

He Yi nodded and said to Zhang Li behind him, "Let him go first." ”

Zhang Li flatly refused, and said: "No! Once they are released, they have no fear, how can you and I deal with so many people? Don't forget, these people are soldiers! Soldiers who have been chosen by the cultivators! They all have powerful magic weapons in their hands that have been blessed by the cultivators!"

Zhang Li is not worried for no reason, they have all seen the strength of the magic weapons in the hands of these soldiers, and they can cut a big hole in the ground with a wave at will, which is very destructive.

"I know, you let him go first. He Yi still said stubbornly, judging the situation, even if he used Ishikawa as a shield, the two of them would still not be able to fight against these dozens of soldiers.

He Yi turned around, took advantage of Zhang Qi's defenselessness, pulled his shoulders back, and then suddenly slapped his palm, pushing Ishikawa out.

"What are you doing!" Zhang Qi was startled and roared.

He was about to reach for Ishikawa, but was immediately stabbed by several spears.

"Squat, put your head in your hands, don't move!"

"Be honest with me!"

β€œ......”

Sure enough, after He Yi released Ishikawa, the soldiers who had no scruples immediately rushed over and firmly surrounded the two of them.

Facing the flickering cold light on the tip of the gun, Zhang Li glared at He Yi fiercely, then sighed helplessly, squatted down and raised his hand in surrender.

Seeing this, the soldiers immediately rushed up and tied up He Yi and Zhang Wuhuada.
