CHAPTER XXXIII
The wind was howling, and the ironclad war horse pulled this large piece of ice made of sled, breaking a way out in the miasma swamp, and there was the chirping of scaly flying snakes behind them, obviously extremely angry, but they were helpless, of course, their speed was not slow, and even the ability to explode in a short period of time was almost faster than lightning, but if they chased for a long time, they would be much inferior.
Although they resolutely charged and pursued them at the beginning, the people on the sleigh were all holding ice shields, and they were not given a chance to break through.
After several ineffective attacks, they also had to accept the reality and could only hang far behind, but, according to Zhu Yu, there is no need to worry that they will be lost, even if they are tens of thousands of miles apart, they will definitely catch up.
So this is really good news for Duan Heng.
And Gu Linchuan and others accepted their fate very simply.
After struggling like a frosted eggplant for a while, Gu Linchuan took the initiative to find Duan Heng.
"Brother Duan, the situation is at this point, we have nothing to say, and then we calculate and defend each other like this, it is even more useless, I just want to know, what plan does Brother Duan have for the follow-up, if you can convince me to wait, then it doesn't matter if you follow you all the way back to Xichuguan, otherwise, even if we have to turn back to 100,000 miles, we will choose to leave without hesitation." ”
At this moment, Gu Linchuan was quite calm, and even Duan Heng had to secretly praise it, thinking about it, but he was not busy explaining, but he just ordered Zhou Peng, Zhu Yu and others to continue to be vigilant with ice shields, and ordered Bai Luoyu to input some sword brakes into the iron-armored war horse to maintain its marching momentum, and then smiled: "I'm afraid that I will disappoint the ancient commander, I don't have any follow-up plans, everything can only be done at the opportunity, but I have to go to Xichuguan." ”
"You're a madman. ”
Gu Linchuan sighed. sat back and gave up communicating with Duan Heng directly.
Seeing this scene, Duan Heng didn't care, in fact, not to mention that he wouldn't tell Gu Linchuan his real plan, even if it was Zhou Peng. Bai Luoyu and others, he never revealed a word.
Probably no one could have imagined that Duan Hengkou kept saying that he wanted to go to Xichu Pass, but in fact, the place he was going to was Woniu Pass in the northwest of Xichu Pass, a checkpoint that had been abandoned a long time ago.
Whether it's a human race or a demon race, they won't notice it.
Because it's very ordinary, it's not on a thoroughfare, and the land isn't fertile. There is no rough terrain around, and even if you pass through it, you won't leave too deep a memory.
However, on the map left by Xiao Yueji, it was vaguely recorded that there was a medium-sized immortal stone vein hidden somewhere in the uncertain underground near the Woniu Pass, but this was a vein with an owner. Its owner is the Yu family, the top noble family in the 36 states of Daqian, which is a behemoth second only to the five great emperor families.
Besides. The commander of the West Chu Pass and various important positions, since hundreds of thousands of years ago, have all been held by the children of the Yu family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the West Chu Pass is almost the property of the Yu family.
The reason why Woniuguan was abandoned at the beginning was probably to hide people's eyes.
So. Now that the West Chu Pass has been broken, the Yu family has certainly suffered huge losses, but the immortal stone veins near Woniu Pass, they will definitely not give up, and they will definitely mobilize a large army to protect it. At the very least, it is necessary to find a way to empty the immortal stone veins in a short period of time.
If this was in normal times, Duan Heng and they rashly bumped into it, the consequences would only be bad, maybe the Yu family would kill people, but now, they don't have to worry about secrecy anymore, who would suspect that a group of soldiers who were chased by demon beasts and rushed here in a panic?
What's more, Duan Heng also happened to have a patrol battalion commander of the West Chu Pass by his side, as long as they ran over, then there was a high possibility that they would be taken in immediately, and from then on, their isolated state would also come to an end.
It would be even more wonderful if he could retreat to Inner Kyushu with the army.
After all, under the general trend of invasion such as today's Demon Alliance, the two sides often invest millions or even tens of millions of troops, such a torrent, it is impossible to solve the problem by relying on individual strength alone, or find a way to blend in, it is possible to save your life.
As for wanting to find a barren mountain and old forest to hide, this idea is not reliable at all.
This is not an ordinary war, this is a war launched by two races, the human race and the demon race, in order to compete for living space.
Hide, what are you kidding, this kind of war will affect all aspects, like this swamp, which was once a fertile land reclaimed by the human race, but now it is covered with mud, if the human race can't win this war, it will continue to rot here, and the power of those demon clans will gradually soak in and spread, not to mention digging holes to hundreds of zhang, thousands of zhang, useless.
As long as you are a member of the Terrans, you can't escape.
Even if you were once extremely weak, and you used to hate the five great emperor clans, the gate lord clan, and those demon clans, you will not have the slightest mercy because of this, and there will be no luck at all.
――
There are still a lot of demon beasts in this swamp, but as Duan Heng expected, there are very few eighth-grade or ninth-grade demon beasts, and most of the rest are demon beasts that do not enter the stream, or scattered demons, these guys are like the imperial army, once when the human race ruled, they obediently took refuge, and now that the demon clan is fighting, they have become the minions of the hunting terrans.
Of course, whether it is the upper echelons of the human race or the demon race, they will not pay attention to these little insects, let them toss and scatter the word demons, which is enough to explain everything.
Therefore, Duan Heng and the others were not really harassed, and the speed of the ironclad war horse was too fast, especially after Bai Luoyu contributed two pieces of Wind Evil Jade Talisman.
In just a day and a half, they had reached the end of the swamp, and a series of hills appeared in front of them.
"This--this kid seems to be going in the wrong direction. ”
Gu Linchuan and the others, who had been very depressed, exchanged glances with each other, a little gloating, they had passed through this swamp all the way from the east before, so they were very sure that Duan Heng was at least half off, and he was supposed to go due east, but now he was biased to the northeast.
"Let's go, you can't stay here for long!Ancient Commander, you have no problem, of course, it's still the same sentence, I don't interfere with your freedom, you can go wherever you want. ”
In front, Duan Heng roared while putting away the ironclad war horse, and without stopping for a moment, he rushed forward, not worrying at all about Gu Linchuan and the others behind leaving.
"Uncle, this kid, he must have done it on purpose. ”
A group of people cursed, but they didn't dare to stop, because behind them, it was countless demon beasts or scattered demons who squeaked and screamed to catch up, and at this time the fool thought about turning back.
However, they wouldn't tell the kid that he was going in a slightly wrong direction. (To be continued.) )
