Chapter 2: The Green Jade Institute (II)

Ninety-eight Terran warriors, carrying ninety-eight pieces of green jade on their backs, walked towards the fourteenth green jade station in front of them under the leadership of the fierce and tall captain.

Although the distance between the two Qingyu Institutes is only five miles, for them, if they are not careful, this is the path between life and death.

In the sunlight, the group moved slowly but quietly, and no one spoke loudly.

Yin He walked in the crowd, and suddenly felt the sound of footsteps beside him, and someone hurried forward two steps to his side, and called in a low voice, "Brother Yin." ”

Yin He glanced back and saw a round-faced young man beside him, nodded and said, "What's wrong, Xiao Wu?"

Xiao Wu looks a few years younger than Yin He, estimated to be less than twenty, but those who can come to work in the inner ring are naturally very strong, so they look strong.

Like Yin He, he was also carrying a piece of green jade on his back, but at this moment, his expression seemed to be a little nervous, when he walked, he kept looking at both sides of the road, and after walking to Yin He's side, he lowered his voice and said, "Big brother, there is no danger on this road, right?"

Yin He smiled, glanced at him, and said, "What, scared?"

Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment and muttered: "When the big head died yesterday, I was watching from the side, obviously a person who was fine not long ago, and in the blink of an eye, he ...... He's dead. ”

The big head is the one who was scratched by the black poison ivy yesterday, and then died of poison in an instant, Yin He naturally knows it.

In fact, in the three years that he had been in the Inner Ring, there was no one else who was older and more experienced than him, except for the captain.

"Is this the first time you've taken this path?" Yin He asked Xiao Wudao.

Xiao Wu nodded and said, "Well, I've only been here for a month, and I've been working at the No. 1 and No. 2 Qingyu Institutes before...... Here the thirteenth and fourteenth Qingyu Institute, it is the first time I have walked such a long way. ”

After saying that, his voice also became a little low, and he seemed to be very uneasy.

Yin He's brows furrowed slightly, and he glanced at the young man more, as if he had thought of something, but he still quickly smiled and smiled at him: "Of course, this place will be much more dangerous than the No. 1 and No. 2 Qingyu Institute, after all, it is deep in the inner ring." However, don't worry, as long as you follow the team, at least on this road, nothing will happen. ”

After a pause, Yin He said again: "Yesterday, there was an accident with the big head, it was he who accidentally fell, left this path, and fell into a deep pit next to him that no one had cleaned, so he was unlucky." You have to be careful not to make mistakes. ”

Xiao Wu was thoughtful, then nodded again and again, and said, "I know, thank you, Brother Yin." ”

Yin He smiled and shook his head, just wanted to speak, but heard someone behind him suddenly roar and shouted: "Hey, little ghost, walk well, where is there so much nonsense, do you want to die?"

The voice was fierce and full of ferocity, and it was the captain who was in charge of the people.

Xiao Wu suddenly lowered his head in fright, and walked away as quickly as a chilling cicada, not daring to say a word.

Yin He looked at his back, swallowed back what he was about to say, and after a while, a tall figure came from behind, came to him, and walked side by side with him, it was the captain with a fierce voice and an equally hideous and fierce face.

The people around him were obviously very in awe of this captain, and when they saw him coming, they all subconsciously moved away, including Xiao Wu in front of him, who also sped up his pace and moved farther away from them.

The captain also carried a piece of green jade on his back, but to him, it seemed that this stone was unhindered and did not feel the weight, which showed that there was divine power in his body.

He didn't look at Yin He, his eyes looked ahead, but after a while, his voice was lowered, and he asked in a low voice that only Yin He could hear, "What did he tell you?"

Yin He's face was calm, and he also lowered his voice, and said, "I didn't say anything, but I saw the big head die tragically yesterday, and I was scared, so I came over and asked if there would be danger here." ”

The captain snorted, looking a little disdain and contempt, but his face softened significantly.

Yin He glanced at him, pondered for a moment and then suddenly said, "Xiao Wu's identity and family background, do you know?"

The captain frowned and said, "I don't know, there are so many things here all day long, how can I care where he came from?"

Yin He glanced at the back of the young man in front of him again, and said, "I think, he should have offended someone, right?"

The captain said, "What do you say?"

Yin Hedao: "He's only been in for a month, and he almost doesn't understand anything, so he should have been put on the side of the No. 1 and No. 2 Qingyu Institute to slowly sharpen, but now he has come directly to us." ”

When he said this, Yin He sighed and said, "The group of people who came over three years ago are probably the only two of us who are still alive now." ”

The muscles on the captain's fierce face twisted, and he suddenly sneered, and said, "He deserves it, it's my business." It's up to you to live or die here. ”

Yin He shrugged his shoulders, and it seemed that he had no objection to the captain's words.

As the sun shone down, the group of men and horses transporting the green jade stones continued to move forward slowly, and in front of them, a forest gradually appeared, and the road under their feet passed through the forest.

The captain's somewhat irritable and fierce voice sounded again at this moment, so that everyone heard it, like a roar: "Polishing Lao Tzu's eyes, after entering the forest, don't go the wrong way, don't touch flowers, trees and wild fruits, and don't provoke birds and beasts, otherwise no one will collect your corpses if you die!"

Many people raised their heads at the same time, looking at the woods that seemed to be a little deep, and a trace of fear gradually appeared on their faces, but the team did not stop, and slowly approached the woods at the urging of the captain.

Yin He walked in the crowd, looking just an ordinary and ordinary member, and the woods in front of him, he just glanced at it casually, and didn't seem to care too much.

※※※

"Do you feel that the pace of construction has been getting slower and slower recently?" As they walked into the forest with the team, Yin He suddenly asked the captain beside him.

The captain didn't speak, but nodded.

"It's been a month, and the fifteenth Qingyu Institute in front of me hasn't been built yet. Yin He said, "Isn't there something too difficult and dangerous ahead that can't be solved?"

The captain was silent for a moment and said: "It shouldn't be this problem, I think that in the last two months, no, it should be the last three or four months, the blue jade stones that have come in from outside seem to be slowly decreasing." ”

Yin He was stunned for a moment and said, "Is there anything else going on?"

The captain said: "Well, you didn't pay attention to this, I don't know if it's strange, I'm in charge of these hundred people transporting goods, so I will naturally notice that the blue jade stones coming in outside are indeed decreasing." ”

Yin Hedao: "Doesn't it mean that the green jade stones are all formed in the Divine River, and the quantity is infinite and inexhaustible?"

"Who knows what's going on! Maybe it's been mined for seventy or eighty years, and all the green jade stones that are easy to get have been dug up, and the rest is in the depths of Kamigawa, so it's not easy to dig it. The captain guessed.

Yin He laughed, the captain glanced at him, and said angrily: "You are laughing at a fart! No matter how few green jade stones there are, you can move them...... Well, I said, why does this forest seem so quiet today?"

Yin He was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked around.

The road underfoot, built by the Terran guards a few years ago, is rough but relatively flat, and when you pass through this forest, you can still see the surrounding branches and foliage lush and vibrant.

But both the captain and Yin He are old seniors, and they are the people who have walked through this forest the most in this team, so they are the first to notice that the forest seems to be a little strange compared to usual.

The woods are so quiet.

In the past, when they walked through this place, there was always a danger all around, and the sound of birds and beasts would come from the depths of the forest from time to time, but today they have walked far away and have not made a sound at all.

It was as if the whole forest had suddenly lost all living things, and only the trees stood in place.

The muscles on the captain's face tensed, and he whispered, "Something is wrong!"

Yin He saw that he seemed to want to run forward, and at the same time he opened his mouth to roar, and hurriedly grabbed him, and said in a low voice: "Don't mess around! There are many people here who are inexperienced enough, and they are warned a few times by you, but I am afraid that they will be the ones who make trouble first, and something will happen." ”

The captain gritted his teeth and said, "Then what do you say?"

Yin He hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay for the time being, so let's walk a little way first." ”

The captain hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay." ”

The conversation took place only between the two of them, and no one in the surrounding group heard it, so most of them walked calmly through the forest, and the team moved slowly.

There weren't any surprises, at least, not yet.

Everything was quiet and everyone was safe.

The captain's gaze kept scanning the surrounding woods, and at the same time, he suddenly asked for no reason: "Do you remember the original monsters in this forest?"

Yin He thought for a moment and said, "Blood wolf?"

The captain nodded and said, "Well, blood wolf." Back then, there was a wolf pack here, which was really fierce, but then we surrounded and killed it, and it was too peaceful here. ”

Yin He smiled and said, "What, do you still want to go back to the guards?"

The captain snorted and said, "I can't stand the kind of days when I live with my head and live and die every day, and I don't know whether I will live or die tomorrow." Are you okay? Then you go back. ”

Yin He sighed and said, "I can't do it either, I saw too many people die back then......"

The captain fell silent, as if he had been reminded of his words.
