Chapter 33: The Army
This fishy smell is typical of black belly poison.
The black belly poison comes from the mixture of the venom of a pit viper and several poisonous weeds in the mountains, and the poison is extremely powerful, and the cultivators under the Seven Realms are almost poisoned and killed instantly, even the most clever doctors have no time to rescue.
Because that kind of pit viper is relatively rare, although this poison is famous for its domineering, it has not yet reached the point where many people can afford it, and it has not been monopolized by a certain place or a certain powerful gatekeeper, and cannot become a sign of a certain force.
The five archers shot with a fierce aura of battle-hardened, but in this situation, they were still able to take advantage of their breath, crush the poison hidden in their throats with the accumulation of flesh and blood in their throats, and kill themselves.
These are clearly dead soldiers.
Since it is a dead soldier, the number cannot be too large.
But even if the movements and momentum of these five people when they committed suicide were uniform, they naturally gave Ding Ning's army a feeling.
"Who are these people?"
Eldest Sun Qianxue frowned and looked at the black blood that kept overflowing from the mouths of these five archers, and asked.
"I don't see it yet. ”
Ding Ning shook his head, "These feather arrows and longbows look like they should be Chu weapons. ”
"Chu people?" "The eldest grandson Qianxue naturally understood what Ding Ning meant, at this moment, in addition to bows and arrows, there are obviously no other special things that represent the identity of these five archers, but even if it is determined that these bows and arrows are the talismans of the Great Chu Dynasty, it is not enough to prove that these people are Chu people, but the Great Qin Dynasty is too far away from here, and the most suspicious ones are still Chu people.
"There are flying swords. ”
The old monk also frowned.
At the same time as he spoke, the eldest grandson Qianxue and Ding Ning's perception had already felt several clear sinister smells at the same time.
The eldest grandson, Qianxue, did not move.
Ding Ning naturally handed the wooden staff in his hand back to the old monk.
Then this wooden staff, which had passed through the hands of several generations of ascetics, had already been wrapped in a thick layer of clay, as if it was completely connected to the old monk's body, and became one of his arms.
The old monk swung his staff smoothly and naturally, and smashed it into the ice under his feet.
A small gray sword was struck by this wooden staff like a poisonous snake, and jumped up.
With a soft click, the little gray sword dimmed and fell to the ground as if it had lost its life.
The old monk's staff then plunged into the ice below.
There was a roar inside the glacier, like a giant python passing through, and the naked eye could see that the layers of blue-black ice in front of the three people exploded, and a wave of air was terrifying.
With a soft snort, an extremely fast transparent sword broke through the ice, but it was still hit by the air wave behind it, and instantly catapulted into the air above, losing control.
Two muffled grunts in the distance above, followed by two winds heading up.
The old monk's wooden staff was still pierced in the ice below, but as he lifted it, it seemed as if countless ice and snow were about to fly out of the hole he had pierced, and at the same time, his right foot naturally lifted up, and he was about to step forward.
However, at this moment, Ding Ning shook his head and said, "Don't chase." ”
The wind and thunder under the old monk's feet naturally disappeared, his right foot fell, and the ice and snow flying up under the wooden staff in his hand suddenly calmed down.
The sound of the two winds that escaped from the sky did not subside at this time, but when the eldest grandson Qianxue looked up, a dazzling fire appeared inside the blue-black glacier!
The next moment, a thunderclap erupted from the firelight.
The heavens and the earth shook suddenly.
Just below the two retreating cultivators, the glacier with a radius of hundreds of zhang exploded directly and terrifyingly.
The violent explosion directly tore the bodies of the two cultivators to pieces for no reason, and then the outward expansion of the shock wave shook the valley, causing a large avalanche on the surrounding hillsides!
Including the glacier where Ding Ning and the others were, the falling snow and the huge ice blocks smashed from the cliffs on both sides surged down like thousands of horses.
The old monk's eyes were slightly condensed, and the wooden staff stabbed obliquely forward, and before the snow fell, the oncoming wind was naturally separated in half by a powerful force.
The eldest grandson, Qianxue, did not move.
This kind of avalanche can be handled by her, and it is naturally not a problem for the old monk.
She turned her head to look at Ding Ning.
Ding Ning and her already had a tacit understanding, knowing the doubts in her heart at this time, so he also glanced at her and said easily: "No cultivator is an idiot, after seeing the realm of the bitter Zen master, these two sword masters still dare to make a move, there must be a problem." ”
Ice and snow have crashed through.
The old monk stood still, a crystal light in front of the wooden staff was like a sharp blade separating the ice and snow, and on both sides were huge waves of ice and snow rolling, and the heavens and the earth shook.
"But that explosion wouldn't have hurt him. The eldest grandson Qianxue said.
Ding Ning looked at her and said, "It is impossible for cultivators under the Seven Realms to walk here, such an ambush is not enough to kill the powerful Seven Realms, there is only one possibility, such an ambush is only used to consume the true essence of the powerful cultivators who have come here." ”
"Walking in this kind of place, it is extremely difficult to replenish the consumption of true yuan and physical strength. ”
Ding Ning thought for a while, rubbed his aching head, and continued: "Using one's life to consume the power of a powerful cultivator and finally win, this is the most common method used by the army, but at the beginning, two such sword masters from the Five Realms were used to accompany the burial to consume the power of the powerful cultivator... Such a commander and army must be very perverted. ”
Eldest Sun Qianxue thought of the two sword masters who had been torn apart in the explosion, and her face was unnatural and a little disgusted, "Whose army is it?"
"I don't know. ”
Ding Ning shook his head honestly, "I haven't led the army for many years, and there is a long difference between the past and the present." But since it is an army, and it is such an army, it is not as smooth as we imagined to get this sword. ”
Eldest Sun Qianxue frowned, just these five archers, two swordsmen and an explosion, Ding Ning was already sure that this was a powerful army, which may not be enough to prove in the eyes of others, but she knew what kind of experience Ding Ning had, so there was no need to doubt it at all.
The avalanche comes and goes quickly.
Behind the mighty waves of ice and snow galloping with thousands of horses, countless wisps of ice and snow fragments flew in smoke.
The eldest grandson, Qianxue, slowly raised his head.
In a gentle place on the glacier above, in the misty smoke and snow, a huge black shadow already stood quietly.
It was a group of dragon-like monsters, several times larger than yaks, and their bodies were also covered with thick black hair.
These giant beasts had dark iron chains wrapped around their necks, and one end of the chain was in the hands of the knight on the back of the monster.
These knights wore black leather armor with brown cotton robes underneath, and the top of their heads and faces were all wrapped in brown cotton cloth.
"Since it is attrition, it is necessary to use the most labor-saving tactics. ”
Ding Ning turned his head to look at the old monk and the eldest grandson Qianxue, and said slowly.
