Chapter 5: The Strange Jungle
Above the southern frontier, five miles from the territory of the Wind Snake Clan, the Feng Clan's army gathered here, and its steps forward were like a flood, neat and heavy.
"Stop!"
The land of southern Xinjiang is vast and thousands of miles, and there are few shrub-covered mountains, and it is precisely this landform that is exposed in front of the Feng army. In order to prevent changes from being surrounded by the enemy, Zuo Gongming ordered to stop the advance.
The Feng clan attacked the Wind Snake Clan this time, with Zuo Gongming as the commander-in-chief, the patriarch Aotian was in charge, and the army totaled 30,000, divided into five vanguard troops of wind, thunder, lightning, rain and ice, each team was 5,000 soldiers, and the remaining 5,000 soldiers were responsible for the rear response.
The Feng army is majestic and mighty, and the momentum is even more unstoppable. Even so, for Zuo Gongming, who has experienced a hundred battles, he is still extremely cautious in the face of such a terrain.
Zuo Gongming came to Aotian's side and saluted: "Great Patriarch, five miles ahead is the territory of the Wind Snake Clan, but the road is blocked by a bush. ”
The Aotian God was calm and looked into the distance. Hundreds of miles of shrubs stand in front of you, clearly visible, as if you are close at hand. Aotian closed his eyes and sighed lightly, and he already had a certain number in his heart.
Aotian said: "Commander, you should first send a team of soldiers to investigate the truth, and if there is no sound, then make the next deployment." ”
Zuo Gongming received the order and summoned a team of soldiers from the Wind Department to investigate.
The Wind Ministry warriors sent ten people to form an advance team temporarily and went into battle lightly.
Before the investigation, Zuo Gongming summoned ten people to his side, his expression was extremely serious, and he explained: "You wait for ten people to listen well, you are only allowed to go forward and explore within six miles of five miles, if you are killed by the army, you must protect one person and report to the rear, can you understand?"
"Understood!" replied in a loud and powerful voice, even though it was only a team of ten.
"Okay!
Zuo Gongming's voice fell, and a team of ten people disappeared in front of everyone's eyes at lightning speed, rushing towards the cloud-shrouded bush.
The junction of the Feng Clan and the Wind Snake Clan is less than two miles away from the territory of the Wind Snake Clan.
The captain headed by ten people is none other than the boy of the Hundred Ghost Tribe who is studying with Kong Xuan, Ten Thousand Ghosts.
"Ahh Ahh
Hearing the birdsong, and the number was so huge, Wan Ghost hurriedly waved his hand back, signaling everyone to slowly lower their posture.
In the vast wilderness, there is nothing else to cover the body, only one person high, sparse weeds. Fang Cai is still a pair of ten people who regard death as home, and at this time, they are all worried in their hearts, for fear that this is a mission that will not return.
As the flock of birds startled, everyone squatted down and looked around nervously.
A soldier trembled and crawled beside Wan Gui and asked in a very low voice, "Captain, the commander-in-chief's prediction is probably correct, there must be a large army ambush in the forest ahead." As he spoke, the man's eyes unconsciously looked left and right.
One of the soldiers pandered, "Yes, Captain, I think we should go back and resume our lives, I don't want to risk my life here." ”
When the ten thousand ghosts heard this, their eyes were sharp, and they swept around the crowd, but they were furious but lowered their voices and shouted: "Fart, is our life more important or the life of the 30,000 troops behind? Today, if someone says something to demoralize, I will correct him on the spot now." ”
Everyone knew the temper of Wan Gui, and they knew that he did not exaggerate the slightest, so they could only bow their heads and remain silent.
After a moment, Wan Ghost said: "Xiao Liu, Xiao Nian... The five of you stay here, and the other four follow me forward, remember, if we don't come back in an hour, the five of you will return to the camp and report to the commander that the situation is here, understand?"
The five people who were left behind were extremely ashamed, and hurriedly asked for battle: "Captain, we are wrong, we are brothers, if we want to live together, if we want to die, we will lie together." ”
Wan Ghost patted the shoulder of the speaking warrior, looked at everyone, and said firmly: "Good brother, with your words, I know that I am not wrong about you. However, this is a command that must be executed. ”
"Captain"
"Team..."
"Okay, don't say it, it's decided, and the rest will go with me. ”
With that, the Ten Thousand Ghosts led the four warriors towards the dense bush forest.
Although the bushes in front of them were lush and as if they were close in front of them, they were nearly two miles away from the place where the Ten Thousand Ghosts had just been. Wan Ghost and the other five people walked forward slowly, their movements small, for fear of making any noise and startling the snake.
Wan Ghost and the others are all elite warriors of the Feng Clan, and they are all cultivators of the Feng Clan, even so, the amplitude of the advance is extremely careful, the movement is slow, and the speed of travel is still much faster than that of ordinary people, and the two-mile journey of the five people took less than half an hour.
Everyone found that the closer they got to the woods, the dimmer the light above their heads, and there were still a few rays of sunlight shining through the branches and leaves, and now there was hardly a trace of sunshine above their heads.
The solemn atmosphere, the nervous spitting, the beads of sweat, the cooler air... All kinds of factors are mixed together, which makes people's hearts feel cold, as if they are approaching the ghost gate step by step.
The five of them had gradually entered the woods, and the woods were strangely quiet, as if all the birds had flown away, and no birds could be heard.
The five were cautious, and they all prostrated on the ground. Although the sound of clothes rubbing against the ground is clearly discernible as they walk, this is the maximum slowdown of progress.
"Woo... Woo..."
There was a burst of bird crying, and Wan Ghost slowly looked up, as if he wanted to find the chirping bird, so as to add a touch of color to the oppressive and tense atmosphere at this time.
Click!
A crisp sound came into the second crowd, and the ten thousand ghosts hurriedly looked back and looked into everyone's eyes. Everyone shook their heads, indicating that it was not their own voice.
Wan Ghost thought for a moment, "No! The sound just now was the sound of dead wood branches breaking, and it was clearly coming from the left rear. ”
"That's right! It's the left rear!" Wan Ghost had an accurate answer and direction in his heart, and turned his head sharply, wanting to order everyone to prepare for battle.
But the moment the ten thousand ghosts turned around, they saw several battle axes pouring down.
"Be careful!" Wan Ghost couldn't blurt out the words, so he turned around and flexibly dodged away the fierce thousand catties of lethality.
Poof...
Ten thousand ghosts dodged and turned to the ground, and several pillars of blood sprayed their faces. As the blood splattered, the eyes of the ten thousand ghosts froze.
Even when he shouted "Be careful", three warriors fell in blood and were brutally slashed by enemy tomahawks.
The ghosts were furious, their bodies trembling, their teeth gurgling, and their eyes full of grief overflowing with hot tears.
Ten thousand ghosts raised their eyes, and tears were sprinkled wantonly. There are dozens of people in front of him, Wan Gui is already ready to sacrifice, facing the enemy like a wolf and a tiger, thinking of the brother who died tragically to the enemy, how can Wan Gui be afraid in his heart, only resentment.
Ten thousand ghosts stood fiercely, under the anger and hatred, the cultivation of the late stage of refining qi into the body was exerted to the extreme, and the black flames were shining all over the body, and when the ten thousand ghosts got up, the black flames became more and more intense. After a while, the black flames seemed to burn his eyes, and the black flames gradually turned blood red in his eyes, like the devil of hell descending into the world.
"Ahh
I saw him howling in pain, and the figure of Wan Dao was displayed, which was the technique of ten thousand ghosts.
Ten thousand ghosts are agile, and ten thousand figures flash, virtual and real, the enemy can't find out the virtual reality, and he panicked for a while, not knowing which one to attack, because there are too many.
Under the phantom of ten thousand ways, dozens of enemies were frustrated and panicked, but ten thousand ghosts became more and more courageous the more they fought. I saw a black crystal three-claw hook in his hand out of thin air, one zhang long, the hook was cold, and it was terrifying.
The three-claw hook is the weapon of ten thousand ghosts, and the left and right hooks sweep and slash vertically, and the enemy soldiers continue to wail, and the screams are chilling.
In an instant, under the shade of a tree the size of a palm, corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed like a river. Sombra's three claws took advantage of the darkness, and the cold light was everywhere. It's a demon, no, it's a life-reaper from hell, and everywhere it goes, no one survives under the hook.
In a moment, the ten thousand ghosts killed the enemy warrior, but as if he couldn't control his body, he was still looking for his target, and he was close to the demonic madness.
For a moment, no one could see what was happening, and the Ten Thousand Demons lifted one of the surviving warriors in the group into the air.
The palm of the giant hand of the Ten Thousand Ghosts, which was already mutated, emitted several black flames, wrapping around the warrior's neck.
The warrior was lifted into the air, his face dark purple and terrified.
The soldier was frightened by this sudden variable, and when he saw that the ten thousand ghosts who used to be like brothers, he was so hideous and terrifying at this time that he didn't dare to look directly at him, but just desperately shouted "Ahh......h
"Captain, you can see clearly, he is Xiao Wu, wake up..."The other soldier was also terrified, and shouted repeatedly, intending to wake up ten thousand ghosts.
Wan Ghost stopped the black crystal three-claw hook raised in his hand to the air, his head turned mechanically from side to side, and he hummed in his mouth, as if he understood the call for help from the two, and his hideous expression looked extremely painful, as if it was not him, he couldn't control himself, and he was struggling to fight with the devil.
Seeing that the shouting was effective, the two hurriedly shouted the names of the ten thousand ghosts, trying to pull them back to reality and get rid of the unknown magic.
"Dang!"
Ten thousand ghosts had a splitting headache, and the black crystal three-claw hook in his hand fell off, and the claw hook smashed to the ground like a thousand catties. With a flick of one hand, the ten thousand ghosts threw the warrior out of the way. Holding his hands over his head, he howled and rolled, looking extremely painful.
The man staggered to his feet, slowly walked to the other warrior's side, looked at each other, and then looked at the ten thousand ghosts who were in deep pain, panicked, and did not know what to do.
"Hahahaha..."
At this moment, there was a burst of wild laughter in the distance, and the laughter came and went, and it was extremely empty, and it was impossible to tell where this person was, let alone where it was.
Suddenly, a thick fog appeared in the depths of the woods in front of them, and the dense fog moved towards the two of them at an extremely fast speed, accumulating thicker and thicker.
The fog turned from pale to blood-red.
The two Feng warriors took a few steps back in horror.
In an instant, the blood-red mist turned into a huge grimace and devoured the ten thousand ghosts, heading straight for the two of them.
The two of them, who were frightened, saw the huge face like a devil rushing towards them.
One warrior was swallowed by the grimace and went straight for the other.
Seeing the tragic death of everyone, and at this time, two more people were swallowed alive by this unknown monster, and the fragile defense line in that person's heart could no longer be supported, and he ran away with a crawl.
The warrior was terrified and ran all the way screaming, even passing by the five warriors who remained behind without stopping for half a moment.
"What's wrong with you? Where's the captain? What about the others?"
Seeing that the man was frightened, the five people were extremely nervous, and asked one after another, but the man had already run away.
The five of them looked at each other, and the five captains had just entered the woods and looked at each other, but they couldn't detect any anomalies.
Helplessly, the five people couldn't take care of too much, and they also ran to the camp after the man.
