Chapter 353: Retreat

As twilight fell, a team of nearly 1,000 people was stationed on the plain on the side of the official road, and a simple camp was set up.

There happened to be a clearing on the edge of this avenue, so Liyue asked the soldiers to set up Princess Chaoyun's tent in the center, and then expanded outwards layer by layer, and a large camp was in order.

The road ahead was lit with torches, and the soldiers were working on obstacles on the road overnight, expecting to be completely cleared by dawn and ready to move on.

The night was deep, and the camp was silent, except for groups of patrolling soldiers coming and going, and there was no unusual sound except for the sound of uniform footsteps.

Wu Ming did not stay in the camp, but sat and meditated on a hill on the edge of the camp, ready for anything.

Wu Ming knew that things were not so simple, and the yellow-faced man during the day was definitely not just here to perform a trick.

The trees on the official road were also deliberately cut down in order to allow the army to stop here, and the probability of something happening tonight is very high.

Therefore, Wu Ming chose this place with a wide field of vision, which can overlook the entire camp and make it easy to deal with.

It had been quiet for more than ten days before, but Wu Ming was now starting to look forward to it.

After all, this kind of situation of being dark and bright has lasted for a long time, and anyone's nerves will be a little unbearable.

Complete this escort mission and send Princess Chaoyun to a place of peace at her behest while searching for Twilight's whereabouts.

This trip will pass through the northern foot of Kunlun, and Wu Ming will want to go to the ruins of Sumeru Palace to see if there is a chance to get the Taishang Message.

In the dead of night, the camps below were lined with torches running back and forth, and everything seemed to be normal.

Suddenly, a low roar sounded from the darkness, hoarse and low, not like a human voice, but also inaudible to what kind of animal it was.

Wu Ming opened his eyes in shock, and the sound actually sounded like it came from the center of the camp.

The soldiers patrolling in the center of the camp also heard the strange roar and gathered towards the place where the cry started.

Several patrols gathered in one place, and bright torches formed a circle to illuminate a clearing in the center.

In the center of the clearing, a soldier fell to his knees and supported the ground with his hands, his face was blue and his saliva was dripping, and he was still letting out a hoarse roar.

"Isn't this Lao Zhao of the sixth team, what's wrong with him?"

"Did you have a seizure?"

A captain walked up to the soldier with a torch, bowed his head and asked, "Lao Zhao, what's wrong with you?"

"Roaring ......"

The soldier named Lao Zhao had a dilated gaze, his body trembled slightly, and he suddenly jumped up from the ground and stretched out his hands to pounce on the captain in front of him.

The captain was caught off guard and saw Lao Zhao's face distorted towards him, and he was suddenly frightened and flashed back.

Lao Zhao flew so fast that he was about to bite the captain's face, when he suddenly stretched out a foot from the oblique stab and kicked him out with a bang.

The captain turned his head in shock, only to find that it was Wu Ming who had arrived at some point.

kicked the crazy old Zhao away, Wu Ming sighed: "I have an impression of this person, have you eaten those foods in the melons during the day?"

A soldier on the side hurriedly replied: "Yes, Lao Zhao and I shared a roast chicken ......."

Halfway through the words, the soldier's face changed, and he began to tremble, and then he fell to his knees with a puff and let out a muffled roar, which seemed to be the same as Lao Zhao's performance.

Wu Ming couldn't help but scold, there was really a problem!

"Hold down and tie up all the sick people, gag their mouths, and don't let them bite people!"

Wu Ming opened his mouth and instructed the soldiers around him, although he didn't know if the symptoms would be contagious, but he still had to be careful, in case he could continue to be infected like a zombie army, it would be troublesome.

The soldiers around them were still a little dazed, but soon a few more people developed symptoms and began to fall to their knees and roar.

Wu Ming didn't stay here for too long, and directly turned around and rushed to Princess Chaoyun's tent.

These alienated soldiers are ordinary people and don't need him to deal with them.

The yellow-faced man had poisoned the food beforehand and caused chaos in the camp, and there must have been other purposes.

In this chaotic environment, the most important thing is to protect the safety of Chaoyun.

Sure enough, after a distance, Wu Ming found that above the princess's tent, a rope hung down from the dark sky, and a pitch-black figure was crawling down the rope silently.

At this moment, there were also people in the guards around the princess's tent, and even some soldiers had been bitten by crazy people, and the scene was so chaotic that no one noticed that a rope was hanging from the air above.

Wu Ming snorted, sped up and rushed forward, like a phantom, rushing directly into the camp tent.

At the same time as Wu Ming rushed into the tent, a crack was cut on the roof above the tent, and the dark figure also fell into the tent at the same time.

Wu Ming didn't say a word, stretched out his hand to offer Hanguang Chengying, and the two sword lights went straight to the other party.

As soon as the black shadow landed, when he raised his head, he saw two sword lights coming towards him, and he was immediately frightened and exclaimed, and the voice was indeed the yellow-faced man during the day.

The sword light swept through the air, but it struck into the air.

The yellow-faced man threw himself forward, and the whole person fell directly into the ground and disappeared.

Wu Ming sighed, rushed up and stretched out his hand to touch the ground, the whole ground was cold and hard, without a single gap.

"Damn, he ran away again!"

Wu Ming was suddenly a little depressed, this yellow-faced man slipped like a loach, this is just like the Tuxing Sun in the gods, he will disappear when he gets underground!

Judging from the fact that he was frightened by the flying sword, this person's combat power is not high, but there are really many tricks on him, and it is the first time for Wu Ming to encounter this kind of enemy, which is quite a headache.

"Who?"

Princess Chaoyun's voice sounded, and then a jade hand pulled the curtain from the bed behind, revealing Princess Chaoyun's face, and she saw Wu Ming in the center of the tent, and immediately exclaimed.

"It's you again! What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to catch the Assassins......"

Wu Ming stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground under his feet, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was really unclear, could it be that the assassin could not find it when he got underground?

"Some soldiers outside suddenly went crazy and the situation was a little chaotic, and I came here to guard to prevent accidents. ”

Princess Chaoyun frowned: "You go outside the tent door, don't stand in front of my bed......"

Wu Ming shook his head: "The assassin is elusive, I have to be here to keep you safe." ”

"You!"

A hint of anger appeared on Princess Chaoyun's face, but then she pressed it down again, and there were constant screams and low roars outside the tent, and she also sensed that something was wrong.

"You turn around, I want to change. Princess Chaoyun looked at Wu Ming: "After that, let's go out to see the situation." ”
