Chapter 241: Jinshui Town's Strange Affair
Gao Zhan didn't know what was going on, since he joined the army, how could he have time to travel here, and he didn't know how to explain it to Zhang Xiao, so he had to continue to walk forward.
When passing by a few farmhouses, Zhang Xiao and Gao Zhan wanted to ask if something had happened to the residents here, but they found that the residents who lived here were gone, and they couldn't see anyone in the nearby fields.
Zhang Xiao and Gao Zhan continued to walk forward, and came to a small basin, Gao Zhan said excitedly: "This is it, a short distance ahead, you can see Jinshui Town, due to the special terrain that has gathered a large amount of groundwater, so it will have a steady stream of well water, you must taste it after entering." ”
But walking further ahead, Zhang Xiao gradually felt abnormal, only to see that the front was shrouded in a layer of mist, although it did not affect the vision, but this fog gave Zhang Xiao a very uncomfortable feeling.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Zhang Xiao immediately grabbed Gao Zhan and said, "Xie Long, do you feel that this fog is wrong, it doesn't look like it is naturally formed." ”
When Gao Zhan heard Zhang Xiao say this, he also became cautious and felt the mist carefully, but there was nothing abnormal, this was just an ordinary fog, and said: "Uncle Shi, I don't think there is anything wrong, is this fog poisonous?"
Zhang Xiao didn't know about this fog, but he could be sure that this fog must be unnatural, and it was better to be careful, so he walked forward slowly, and slowly the two of them could already see Jinshui Town, and Zhang Xiao also smelled the strange smell in the fog.
This smell was not only smelled by Zhang Xiao, but even Gao Zhan smelled it very clearly, only feeling that the fog was full of dust, and smelling it felt like stuffing dust into his lungs, Gao Zhan hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi, there is really something wrong with this fog, this is like fog, it is simply dust." ”
Zhang Xiao can now clearly determine that this fog is definitely not normal, and he came out of Xinye unexpectedly, a bunch of major events have not been dealt with yet, and now he has bumped into something else, which is really annoying, but he still has to find out what is going on here, otherwise the residents here may suffer.
In order to avoid exposing himself, Zhang Xiao only dispersed the aura around himself and felt the mist, and found that this was not fog at all, nor was it dust, but a pale blue-green gas, which emanated from Jinshui Town to the surroundings, but there was no aura and no essence in it, with his own experience, Zhang Xiao felt that this should be something similar to the emperor fern sent by a strange species.
Zhang Xiao and Gao Zhan smelled the smell of the fog when they were outside the town, if the fog had a hallucinogenic effect, then they would have been tricked a long time ago, so there was no need to take precautions, and now they felt that everything was normal, which meant that the fog should be non-toxic, so the two of them walked towards the central area of the town with confidence, wanting to see what kind of strange thing this was, and to find out why it appeared in the place of human activity.
Zhang Xiao and Gao Zhan cautiously walked into the town, but it was very quiet here, and even the sound of stepping on a branch when walking was very loud, which made Zhang Xiao feel a little creepy.
Zhang Xiao was worried that Gao Zhan might be affected by this fog, so he reminded him: "Xie Long, don't stay too far away from me, this fog is not normal, tell me immediately if you find anything strange." ”
Although Gao Zhan didn't notice the abnormality, he saw that there was no one in the huge town, and he knew that there must be something not very peaceful, so he followed closely behind Zhang Xiao, as a senior scout, he believed that if something approached him, he would definitely be able to find it.
Walking in this fog has a feeling of being surrounded, except for the houses and the earth, everything else is pale blue-green, and the vision is gradually becoming blurred, and if you go any further, you will really be buried in the thick fog.
Zhang Xiao stopped at this time, ran the aura, and found that he had not entered the hallucination, and he did not feel anything wrong around him, and felt even more surprised, it seemed that he had encountered a strange event that he had not experienced, where did all the residents here go?
Although Zhang Xiao didn't notice anything, but Gao Zhan found something, lying on the ground and listening carefully, he felt a slight vibration on the ground, if he guessed correctly, this should be caused by a cavalry, and it was coming in his own direction, the speed was very fast, some like a group of horses galloping,.
Gao Zhan immediately stood up and said to Zhang Xiao: "Uncle Shi, there is a large group of cavalry rushing here, should we hide for a while." ”
Zhang Xiao hadn't noticed anything at this time, and felt very strange, if Gao Zhan could find someone approaching, then it would be easier for him to find out, why couldn't he detect it at all?
Since they are already in such a thick fog now, they are not afraid of being discovered by anyone, so they try their best to emit the aura and extend it around to check, but the strange feeling comes, this fog not only smells like dust, but even the substantial part is like dust, and the aura spreads in the fog as if it is making a hole in the rock, and the speed is extremely slow.
Zhang Xiao had no better way now, so he could only listen to Gao Zhan and said, "Well, it's better to hide to the side and take a look, maybe those people know what happened here." ”
Gao Zhan followed Zhang Xiao to a hut next to him, looking out cautiously, not knowing in what direction this cavalry would come from, and after waiting for a long time, Zhang Xiao also felt some vibrations on the ground, they were already very close to here, and they would be able to see them immediately.
So Zhang Xiao and Gao Zhan became more careful, hiding by the window, only showing their eyes to observe carefully, at this moment, several cavalry rushed out of the dense fog, and there was a steady stream of cavalry rushing out behind, but looking at their expressions were very frightened, although their faces were scorched, their clothes were torn, and they looked very tired, but they couldn't hide this horror, they must have seen something terrible.
Although their speed was very fast, but after the leading cavalry rushed over, Zhang Xiao and Gao Zhan were stunned, they were wearing the armor of the Han army, and the leader was not Ji Yi? It turned out that this was his own people.
Zhang Xiao immediately ran out of the hut, caught up with Ji Yi in a few arrow steps, ran in front of him and stopped him, and said: "Ji Yi, it turns out that you escaped, great, how many people are still with you now." ”
Ji Yi was running at full speed on a war horse, but he didn't expect that someone next to him would directly overtake him with a run, and he was so frightened that he suddenly fell off his horse and almost broke his leg, and the cavalry behind him was also frightened, and immediately pulled the war horse and paced back and forth.
Ji Yi quickly got up from the ground, thinking that he had encountered a monster, and after seeing that it was Zhang Xiao, he finally calmed down, everyone in the army knew that Zhang Xiao knew Qimen spells, and it was great to meet him here, so Ji Yi immediately ran to Zhang Xiao's side and said: "Zhang Guard, it's great to meet you here, we also have a lot of brothers who escaped from Xinye this time, like the generals of the former Xiahou Lieutenant all escaped, I suffered heavy losses due to the break, and there were about eighty brothers left." ”
Ji Yi said about the battle in Xinye, but Zhang Xiao could see that his expression did not look like he was frightened by the fire attack, but was more worried about what was behind him, Ji Yi counted the number of soldiers behind him, pointed in the direction of running, and continued: " But when we were about to join the main army, we wanted to go here for a while, but when we came here, we found that there was no one here, and we thought that this place had also been affected by the war, and all the residents had already evacuated, and it was only when we went deep into the interior that we found that there were monsters here, and now our escaped brothers are only thirty people. ”
Gao Zhan also ran over at this time, and was very happy to see Ji Yi, he didn't expect him to be alive, it was really good, so he asked: "Ji Yi, you are still alive, I saw such a big fire in Xinye, and I thought that none of you could escape." ”
Ji Yi was also very happy to see Gao Zhan, they were all Xia Houen's generals, they had already been very familiar with each other, and they could be regarded as good brothers who were born and died, and also said: "It's not just me, Hao Zhong and Zou Tao have also escaped before me, and now they should almost join the main army, their troops left the city early, and the brothers basically have no losses." ”
