Someone had already led the horses to the side of the road to wait, and the thirty disciples of the medicine collection jumped on the horse, while the rest of the gang and the group of heroes escorted them in front and back.

The road leading to the outside of the mountain in Wangyun Valley is a mountain road about 12 miles long. The trail is steep on one side of the cliff and a small river on the other.

In order to prevent the people of the Demon Cult from ambushing in the narrow mountain road, the Flying Snow Gang has a group of guards every fifty or sixty zhang, and every group of ten people, if there is an abnormality, they can communicate with each other and send a whistle to warn.

The fast horses of the brigade galloped on the mountain road, and when they passed the first sentry post, the leader of the sentry post waved his hand, indicating that there was nothing abnormal.

Everyone felt a little calmer, and continued to move forward, passing two or three more checkpoints, and at each sentry point the people stood by the roadside, smiling and watching the procession gallop in front of them.

In an instant, he ran out of four or five miles, and in front of him was an open field, and a group of sentry posts were guarding the roadside, smiling and looking at the team in front of him.

Li Ji and Xia Shiyu suddenly sighed, and Li Jizong immediately stepped forward and said to Gang Master Sun: "Gang Master Sun, stop for a while." ”

Sun Changfeng roared, ordered the team to stop, and asked Li Ji, "What?"

Li Ji didn't answer, dismounted and came to the ten sentry posts, looked at it, and suddenly his body shook slightly, and he took two steps back.

The ten sentry posts were still standing on the ground, looking ahead, with motionless smiles on their faces. When he saw Li Ji and the team behind him, he didn't say hello.

Sun Changfeng and more than a dozen people around him dismounted together, came to the front, and when they looked at it, they all gasped. Sun Changfeng took a spear from one of the gangsters, put it on the shoulder of a sentry post, and with a slight flick, the sentry fell straight and straight, hitting one person next to him, and that person also fell straight down, one after another, and all ten people fell.

When they fell to the ground, they had a smile on their faces.

Sun Changfeng's face turned pale, and he turned around and shouted, "The people behind the herald, look at the sentry positions just now." ”

The procession behind them stretched for hundreds of feet, and after hearing the order, people near the sentry post went to check, and after a while, exclamations came one after another.

Someone shouted, "Tell the leader, these posts are dead!"

Sun Changfeng flew on the horse and said to Xia Shiyu and Li Ji: "There are two people guarding here, I'll go and see." "The horse galloped away.

Li Ji and Xia Shiyu looked at each other, both of them looked solemn, and the four masters also dismounted and stood around, looking at the surrounding environment.

After a short time, Sun Changfeng galloped back and said in a deep voice: "Except for the first group of guards, the rest are all dead silently!"

Xia Shiyu said: "Xiao Ji and I just saw it, they were poisoned, but we can't see what poison it is." ”

Sun Changfeng nodded, knowing that the people in the Demon Sect had already made a move, and now his team was in an extremely dangerous situation on this narrow mountain road. An order was immediately issued to the team to move forward quickly and to the open place in front of them to reason, and at the same time ordered all the gang members to immediately take the anti-poison pill to prevent the demon sect from attacking.

The group galloped to the open area. The mountain road leading to the outside of the valley is two miles away on the other side.

The surrounding area is still surrounded by black cliffs, and the sound of a small river rushing in the dark night can be heard on one side.

Several Feixun Hall disciples lit fireworks, and several fire snakes flew straight into the sky, exploding in the air with a bang, and sparks flew in all directions, illuminating the surrounding mountain walls. Everyone stared at each other, but no anomalies were found.

Sun Changfeng shouted: "Protect the medicine collection disciples! The enemy has not yet appeared, so let's divide into three teams and rush out." The master of the Hong Hall led a hundred disciples of the Wolf Howling Hall to open the way in front, the disciples of the medicine collection hall were in the center, the giant bear hall helped the people to protect each other with shields, and the heroes of all walks of life were behind. All archers are ready to shoot an enemy with arrows!"

Hong Tingwei, the master of the Wolf Howling Hall, listened to the order and led a hundred gangs of people to gallop towards the mountain road ahead.

As soon as I arrived at the intersection, I heard a loud rumbling sound, several boulders rolled down the mountain, fell on the mountain road, blocking the road, and countless stones and logs rolled down and fell into the crowd.

Hong Tingwei retreated sharply, and suddenly heard the sound of the wind above his head, and a tree trunk with a diameter and a thickness of one zhang was carrying strong wind and sand and stones, and was falling towards the top of his head, and the momentum was fierce. He put his palms out together, shook the trunk of the tree, and his body fell two feet away from his horse, only to feel the blood in his chest surge. Listening to the screams and scolding of the gang around him, many people were hit by the rolling wood and flowing stones, and fell off their horses.

Hong Tingwei forcibly suppressed the surging blood qi, and shouted: "Retreat, retreat! Hide under the horse's belly, avoid the stone wood!"

Although the Flying Snow Gang members wore protective armor, these giant wooden and flowing stones fell from a high altitude, and the force was too strong, and if they were hit, they would also break their muscles and bones. At the moment, according to Hong Tingwei's orders, he hid under the belly of the horse, and quickly retreated. Many horses were hit by flowstones and trees, neighing and jumping, and for a while they became a mess.

The helpers of the team behind stepped forward to help, and several agile masters shuttled left and right through the rocks, grabbed the wounded, and returned to the team.

It was too close to the mountain wall and vulnerable to the attack of rolling wood and flowing stones, so Sun Changfeng immediately ordered the team to retreat to the side of the river.

More than 500 people and more than 400 horses gathered on the riverbank, and the people shouted and neighed, and there was a lot of noise.

The only way out of the valley was blocked, and many people were anxious and panicked in their hearts, and some irascible people drew their swords, looked at the mountains and scolded, asking the people in the demon sect to come down and fight to the death.

A middle-aged man in a yellow shirt stepped forward and said to Sun Changfeng: "Gang Master Sun, the enemy will not show up for the time being, because they want to trap us to death. If we do not get out of the predicament in time, it will only become more disadvantageous. ”

Sun Changfeng recognized him as Fan Yichen, a master of dragon-shaped boxing in Liaoxi, and immediately arched his hand and said: "The people in the Demon Sect are really treacherous and vicious, I don't know what Mr. Fan's high opinion is." ”

Fan Yichen said: "Fan grew up under this Wangyun Mountain since he was a child, and he is more familiar with the terrain of this mountain. There were two paths at the moment, and on the side of a steep peak in the open field, there was a fissure, which was formed naturally by the mountain. This crack is seven or eight miles long, secretly leading to the outside of the mountain, but the narrow place only allows two people to go side by side, if you want to go out of the mountain from this road, the horse can not want. ”

Sun Changfeng nodded and said, "If this is the only way, it is impossible to give up the horses." What's the second way?"

Fan Yichen said: "This second way is to wade across the river. Three miles through the river, there is a tributary, and if you walk up one mile along the tributary, you can reach the south bank, where there is also a hidden path that leads to the outside of the mountain. ”

Sun Changfeng pondered for a moment and said, "At this time, it is too risky to be close to the mountain wall, and our horses have also carried a lot of supplies, if we give them all up, not only will the losses be too heavy, but also too cheap for the people in the Demon Sect." Let's take the second road and go out of the mountain along the river. Then Mr. Lao Fan will guide the way and lead everyone out of the mountain. If we can get out of trouble this time, our gang will give Mr. Fan an additional 200 Danyang Fruits to express their gratitude.

Fan Yichen smiled and said, "Gang Master Sun is too polite. Fan Mou also wanted to save himself this time, so as not to send his life to this Wangyun Valley. ”

Sun Changfeng passed down the order, and ordered several altar owners to tell everyone separately that they had found a way out of the mountain, and asked everyone to be calm and not impatient, and wade across the river in order.

Fan Yichen said: "The water potential in late autumn is slightly shallower than in summer, so we can lead the horse across the river." Then the lower led the way, and the others followed. He summoned his subordinate disciples and led him down the river with him.

The disciples of the Feixun Hall shot out a few fireworks in the direction of the river, banging several times, and the flames shone brightly, illuminating the river within a hundred zhang. Although the light was only for a moment, it could already make everyone see the situation on the river.

Dozens of martial arts high-rollers rushed out of the mountain and jumped into the river first, closely following Fan Yichen and his party.

Sun Changfeng ordered to help the people protect the disciples who collected medicine, and went down to the river in turn.

More than 100 people who went down the river first had just walked more than 20 zhang, and suddenly heard the sound of the river splashing in front of them, as if countless people jumped up from the river, followed by the sound of swishing endlessly, sharp arrows like weaving, like dense rain shooting.

Everyone shouted in unison, and quickly waved their blades to block, and many people were still shot by sharp arrows, either killed or wounded. The group hurried back to the shore.

Sun Changfeng was furious, he listened to the wind to distinguish the position, and ordered the archers in the gang to shoot thirty feet in front of the river. A hundred archers opened their strong bows and crossbows, and immediately returned fire, and in the darkness they heard several screams in the distance, expecting that someone on the other side had also been hit by an arrow.

Fan Yichen ran ashore drenched in water, with two long arrows stuck in his left shoulder and right leg. He came to Sun Changfeng and said with a wry smile: "Among the enemies, it seems that there are also those who are familiar with the terrain, and there are already people in the river first; ”

Sun Changfeng sighed and said, "The enemy is scheming and well-planned, so we have to think of another way." He looked at the hundreds of people around him, and his heart was worried. I thought that the people in the Demon Sect would snatch it when they were collecting medicine, and their side was ready to fight, but I didn't expect the Demon Sect to not take action, but to use the siege strategy. Trapped in a valley right now, with no roads around, how can I do it?

This also blames himself for being too careless, seeing that the Demon Sect has not moved these days, he can't help but feel a little lucky in his heart, hoping that the other party has given up. If you are cautious and wait for a team of people outside the mountain to respond, why do you fall into such a predicament?

But at this time, I don't have time to regret it, the river road is blocked, and now I can only find the natural crack behind the steep peak and find another way out according to what Fan Yichen said.

He selected five people with light merit and strong skills among the disciples and heroes in the gang, and ordered them to investigate first. In order to prevent the enemy from casting cold arrows in the shadows, he lent them the shield of the Giant Bear Hall.

The five masters took the order and left. The rest of the people stood by the river, their arrows wound, their swords unsheathed, and they waited for them.

After a short time, several masters rushed over and told Sun Changfeng that behind the steep peak, there was indeed a crack inside, which was very deep, and they launched two fireworks into it, but no trace was found.

Sun Changfeng let out a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that there was no way to be endless, and the people in the Demon Sect had finally missed this secret path. He immediately instructed the people to take down the valuables from their horses and pass them one by one, and especially instructed not to rush up and block the entrance to the cave.

When the opportunity appeared, everyone was quite excited, and at the moment, according to the instructions of the Sun gang leader, they took off their respective items from the horse, lined up, and walked forward one by one.

The Flying Snow Gang is the master, so they let the heroes go first, and the Giant Bear Hall Gang holds giant shields, and at the end, the people of the Demon Sect in the River catch up and attack with bows and arrows.
