Geng Zhong led 500 Changsheng troops drawn from Jinsha City are the elite of the border army, these soldiers have no bright armor, no high-headed horses, but in the dust-covered body, there is a fighting spirit only for victory.

After a night of galloping, passing through the Broken Head Canyon, when the sky was dark, five hundred light horsemen had quietly approached Shule.

Huo Ping also followed the large army at a gallop, but because of his poor riding skills, he had worn out the roots of his thighs. This made him so painful that he couldn't sit, and could only half-stand on the stirrups, although it looked more imposing, but everyone understood the reason, and couldn't help but laugh in their hearts.

"Geng Xianxian, why don't we take a break?" Huo Ping looked at the gray-faced people around him, feeling a little embarrassed to make such a request, and his tone became much more relaxed.

But Geng Zhong was willing to delay a little, he held down his horse's head, turned to look around, those victorious cavalry would not have the slightest doubt about the vanguard's military orders.

"Guo San, Zhao Wu, you stay behind to protect the Supervisor Lord, other brothers, continue to move forward with me, Supervisor Lord, this is your first time marching in Northern Xinjiang, and it is already much better than our first time in Northern Xinjiang. You take a rest here, the military situation is urgent, and I will go to investigate the situation in Shule first. ”

This sentence came from Geng Zhong's heart, in his eyes, Huo Ping, the prison soldier who had always been a gentleman, was able to grit his teeth and persist in a rapid march all night without falling behind, which really made Geng Zhong a little impressed.

Huo Ping still wanted to continue to hold on, but the hot pain in the worn place on his thigh was unbearable, so he could only clench his fists in embarrassment, Geng Xianfeng worked hard.

This night's rapid march, blending into these unattractive border troops, Huo Ping felt a real feeling of blood begin to surge in his body.

Every hot-blooded man, even if he has never traveled far, once he feels that the sky is high and the earth is far away, the endless vastness, the enthusiasm for conquest and battle in his heart will awaken, and now Huo Ping feels like this, always feeling that the emptiness between heaven and earth is calling for a certain feeling in his heart, so that this feeling wakes up little by little.

Geng Zhong was three miles away from Shule, he still couldn't see the shadow of the ancient city, and the confusion in his heart was abrupt, and the lonely smoke of the desert drifted away with the wind, as if it had never appeared.

But the former superiors, such as Tangshan, who was like a master and father, those brothers who lived and died together, how could they be just imaginations in their own minds.

Geng Zhong arranged for the brigade to remain vigilant, and he only led a ten-person exploration team, searching for Shule's location according to the location in his memory, at this time the morning light had gradually whitened, and the cold sunlight was sprinkled on the white sand grains, and at a glance, only layers of undulating sand waves seemed to be wriggling.

"Captain Geng", suddenly, a searching cavalryman shouted, "There is a discovery", and the reconnaissance team immediately surrounded it with a shout.

Following the gaze of the shouting soldier, Geng Zhong saw a scorched black horn emerging from the middle of a sand dune that was obviously a cut high, and he ordered his men to dig up more sand, and after careful identification, he found that it was a section of rafters on the roof of the Shule granary.

Geng Zhong felt a chill in his heart, Shule did not disappear, but was buried under this indifferent and ruthless yellow sand. But he still has luck in his heart, remembering that Tangshan took his brothers to save the day countless times in this cold place, and for the rest of his life, he still hopes for a miracle, maybe the brothers have escaped this catastrophe?

However, according to the location in their memory, the search team dug up the granary of the grain depot owner in turn, Zhao Meier's inn, and even found a dry bone set up by the javelin of the fire thunderbolt, several fire spears were firmly inserted between the bones of the dry bones, and even some spear tips were directly broken into the blocked bones, and the pair of large cowhide bracers on the wrists of the dry bones made Geng Zhong recognize them at a glance, this was Tang Shan, the captain of the city guarding the city of Daxia Shule.

In fact, when the dry bones in Tangshan were dug up, Geng Zhong saw the tragic situation of Shule City being broken in front of his eyes, Tangshan would not leave those brothers, and those brothers would definitely accompany the captain of Tangshan to fight to the last breath.

Geng Zhong led his team to collect the bones one by one, and then piled them together and set them on the pyre, and the raging flames quickly engulfed the last existence of these heroes in this world.

Geng Zhong put the pair of cowhide wristbands of the Tangshan lieutenant on his wrists, and knelt down with his subordinates.

"The soul of the hero is not far away, don't wander, the surviving are still there, and the blood debt is repaid. ”

With the help of two guards, Huo Ping jumped out of the saddle with difficulty, and he untied the strap, finding that his close-fitting pants had been stuck to his body with blood from the ground on the thighs. The two guards gave him some medicine, set him up again, and leaned against an old tree step by step, and finally sat down with difficulty.

The soldier handed the water bladder to the overseer, Huo Ping didn't care about the image, and poured a few big sips in a row, and then handed it back, "The brothers have also been on the road all night, and you can also drink a few sips." ”

Just as the brothers closed their eyes and occasionally chatted to relieve their boredom, the sound of jingling rings sounded, and a curvy figure in the morning light gradually walked over from a distance.

Huo Ping didn't expect that in this desolate and dilapidated place, there would be such a bewitching woman, although it is not a national beauty, but it also has a unique charm.

"Girl, how is it that you are not afraid of encountering wicked people when you are alone in this dangerous place?"

If Huo Ping had seen the ability of a sandworm to turn into a living person, he would naturally not worry about this woman in red.

The woman gently brushed the red satin that fell off her shoulders to cover a piece of snow-white fragrant shoulders that leaked outside, but this cover showed more seductive charm.

"This military master laughed, I am a weak woman, what is there to be remembered by the strongman, if you really meet the wicked, it is a big deal to obey them, but the military master, you are such a heroic man, and such a tough and majestic, if you are remembered by the strongman, official, do you give it or not." ”

This sentence is about a thousand charms, the hardness that the woman refers to is Huo Ping's pair of golden hammers, Huo Ping laughed, and couldn't help but be triumphant,

"You little lady is really ridiculous, don't say it's a strong man, even if it's a demon or a monster, I'm afraid that when I see this gilded copper hammer, my legs and feet will be weak. ”

This passage is not Huo Ping's boasting, that pair of golden hammers does have mana blessings, because what needs to be guarded against in Xiong'an City is not only ordinary thieves, but even those who cross the boundary.

"Don't believe it, girl, look, my bronze hammer is still engraved with the Buddha's Demon Vajra Mantra. ”

The woman in red was very curious, and also lowered her head to check the runes on the copper hammer, Huo Ping didn't care about the pain of the thigh wound, and happily put the copper hammer away, to show it to the woman.

Just when the woman lowered her head, Huo Ping suddenly made a force with her wrist, and the copper hammer swung upwards violently, the woman couldn't dodge, and with a "bang", the copper hammer was in the middle of the door, this muffled sound, coupled with the impact of the copper hammer and the woman's delicate facial features, made the two guards on the side feel that their faces were in pain.

"My lord", the guards on the side nervously wanted to come up to dissuade him, but he didn't know that Huo Ping had a fierce look, "Ignorant demons, dare to confuse this official, and he will be arrested without restraint!"

While nagging this familiar set of official words, Huo Ping's sledgehammer continued to beckon to the head of the woman in red.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, seeing the woman's originally delicate face, she was stunned by this copper hammer and out of shape.

At this moment, even the guards next to him who wanted to dissuade him didn't dare to speak anymore.

It's not the first time that the woman in red has suffered this kind of loss, last time she was calculated by Tangshan's fire thunderbolt with her own bait, and the monster was secretly annoyed and ashamed this time by the low-level creatures in her eyes again, but obviously Huo Ping's copper hammer gave her a few blows, just scratching her boots.

Huo Ping then saw a scene that made him unbelievable, the entire body of the woman in red slowly rose into the air, and after a closer look, it was lifted up by a thick vine behind her, and this woman was just a branch on the vine, and the thick vine didn't know how huge the body was buried in the sand, constantly growing, and the nearby sand dunes began to squirm, and above the vine, there were countless mouths opening at the same time, and the sound of the same voice shook people's eardrums,

"It's really boring, I've probably been lonely for a long time before I want to play with you low-level ants, but you always find yourself unhappy, come on, become the food of this king, I really want to know what is going on in your head. ”

As soon as the voice fell, a vine swooped straight at Huo Ping, instantly wrapped around his ankle, the power of the vine was unstoppable to mortals, Huo Ping was directly pulled to the ground, and the two copper hammers were also thrown out.

At this time, the two guards finally came to their senses, drew their machetes, and desperately slashed down at the vine that was wrapped around the ankle of the overseer. The vines were like an arm, spasmodically shaking and letting go of Huo Ping's ankles, and then the entire nearby sand ground erupted like a fountain of countless sand pillars, and then, these sand pillars fell to the ground, and where the sand pillars were originally sprayed, more tentacles were drilled out one after another,

"Master Warden, go away!"

Knowing that he was invincible, the two guards still stood in front of Huo Ping, and Huo Ping no longer hesitated, he didn't care about the pain of the wound in his thigh, and he didn't have time to pick up two copper hammers.

Behind him, the two severed soldiers were entangled by tentacles, one of which was wrapped in dense tentacles as if it were a silkworm chrysalis, but as the vines became tighter and tighter, plasma with meat residue was squeezed out from the entangled vines. And the other soldier was not much better, the two tentacles seemed to be scrambling, each curling their heads and feet, and pulling easily, the poor soldier didn't have time to let out a scream, and was torn into two pieces by the air, and a burst of blood mist flew in the air, and those vines with big mouths suddenly danced excitedly in the blood rain, and the big mouths on those branches opened desperately, greedily sucking the blood with body temperature.

Huo Ping was so frightened by the tragic scene in front of him that his legs weakened, and he couldn't take a step anymore, so he popped and fell to the ground.

And the vines that followed closely behind seemed to be very proud to appreciate the prey in front of them and gave up resistance, as if to show off, and gradually surrounded Huo Jian Jun from all directions.
