Chapter 45 Natural Barrier
The heroes of the righteous army were eager to kill thieves, and they almost never stopped all the way south, and in the evening they arrived at the foot of Baicao Ridge. The crowd made a big fire to make food, talked and laughed wantonly, and did not hide it.
An hour of time passed in a blink of an eye, with a horn sounding, the group of heroes shouted in unison, Mo Zhishi, Xiting Daochang, Miao Le, and Wu Weizi each led a pioneer to go up the mountain first, Lin Fengsheng, Mei Ruoxue, Guo Xian'er, Yi Zhaoxiang each followed a team, responsible for identifying and guiding the road at a high place. The rest followed.
The road up the hill was so calm that not even a single thief was in sight. Climbing up the hill, you will be outside the forest full of organs. Lin Fengsheng and the other four people in charge of guiding the way each flew onto the canopy of the tree, and used light skills to find the way by stepping on the closely connected branches. After a while, they all found the tree wall that covered the intersection, and when the tree wall was about to be destroyed, the pioneer drove in with a shield in hand.
The shield can withstand the spiky blades of the trap and block the hidden weapons that shoot at you, and the accompanying experts can instantly break the trap. In addition, there are people guiding the direction from a high place, and many deceptive forks are ineffective, and the group of heroes is moving forward very smoothly. An hour had passed safely through the forest and reached the swamp. In the meantime, I met half a figure.
The old nest of thieves, "Juying Cave", is a lonely peak, surrounded by swamps on three sides, and an abyss on the other side. The swamp was muddy and impassable for boats and rafts, and the only way was a stake road across the swamp. When Qunhao first visited the lair of the thieves, he couldn't help but secretly marvel, the terrain here is very dangerous, and it is really easy to defend and difficult to attack.
At this time, it was already night, Lin Fengsheng stared at the other side of the swamp, and saw that the stone platform in front of the cave entrance was full of shadows, and it was black and oppressive, showing that the thieves were gathered there. He has excellent eyesight, and naturally he can see it clearly. At the moment, he said: "It seems that the thieves are planning to resist stubbornly, so we can only force our way through." This stake road was the only passage, or the pioneer passed first with his shield, and everyone followed closely. ”
Everyone agreed in unison, but they grabbed a shield, stepped on the stake first, and said, "Good brother, my brother will take the lead for you, you just wait to see a good show." When he passed through the woods, a group of heroes who were with him also followed with their shields.
Mo Jian Kankan walked out more than ten zhang away, only listening to the sound of rushing water, Lin Fengsheng secretly exclaimed, looked down, and saw that the water in the swamp had not passed the stake. For some reason, the muddy water suddenly rose a few feet. Hurriedly shouted: "Brother, watch your step!
I only heard the muddy water in the swamp, and then I heard a sound of oops, and people kept rolling down in the swamp. Those who were about to get on the stake hurriedly guarded their footsteps. The heroes on the shore were shocked, and shone into the swamp with torches, and couldn't help but gasp. I saw crocodiles on both sides of the stake road, densely packed and countless.
Many people were bitten by crocodiles, dragged into the swamp, and in an instant they were torn apart and devoured, and the muddy water on both sides of the stake road was covered in blood, which was shocking to look at. Mo Ji couldn't help but jump, dodging the attack of the crocodiles while slapping his palms under the swarm. Crocodiles are numerous and ferocious by nature, and their attacks are swift and accurate, and they can't help but be a little scrambling. Although the stake is under your feet, you can't stop for long.
Lin Fengsheng shouted, "Fetch the bow and arrows!" An archer immediately handed over the iron tire bow and wolf tooth arrows to him. Immediately bent the bow and arrow, and looked at a crocodile with its mouth open and waiting for it to land. With a pop, the wolf's tooth arrow pierced through the crocodile's head, and before it could fade, it shot into the abdomen of a nearby crocodile. The carcasses of the two crocodiles were snatched up by the crocodiles.
Mo Zhen said loudly: "Good brother, thank you!" The figure fell and jumped up, holding the shield in his left hand and striking down with his right palm, and struck a crocodile on the head with a bang, and at the same time kicked a crocodile that jumped with its mouth open and flew away, and the crocodile fell back into the swamp with a snap, splashing muddy water.
Lin Fengsheng sent several arrows one after another, shooting to death more than ten crocodiles that were the most ferocious and vicious, and shouted: "Brother, come back quickly, we have to discuss a proper countermeasure!"
Mo Zhen wanted to rush through it in one go, but seeing that there were so many crocodiles, and that the stake road was about two or three miles long, it would be terrible if he ran out of strength halfway. He turned around and retreated.
As soon as he fell back to the ground, he yelled: "His grandmother, these bastards, are playing such despicable means to defend against us. With the help of the hands of brutes...... What kind of bullshit is the mouth!"
Lin Fengsheng said: "I don't know how many crocodiles there are in this swamp, how should this be?"
Everyone is connected, everyone has different opinions, and they are all at a loss.
Guo Xian'er said happily: "Senior brother, I have a way!"
Lin Fengsheng couldn't wait to ask, "What's the way?"
Guo Xian'er said: "Let's put poison on the arrowheads, and then use it to shoot some crocodiles, so that the corpses of the crocodiles that are shot to death will be infected with poison, and other crocodiles will also be poisoned to death after eating the flesh of these crocodiles." ”
Lin Fengsheng couldn't help but clap his hands when he heard this: "Good idea, this plan is wonderful, this is called infinite poison." Qunhao couldn't help but applaud when he heard it, and they all praised Guo Xian'er's quick thinking.
Guo Xian'er immediately took out a blood-red porcelain bottle from the leather bag she carried, took some water and mixed it into the bottle, plugged it with a wooden stopper and shook it vigorously. Then he tore a strip of cloth and wrapped it around his index finger, dipped it in poisonous water and applied it to the arrowhead. He smiled and said, "This poison only frezes into the bloodstream, and it does not tighten when it comes into contact with the epidermis." ”
After a while, he had smeared a bundle of feathered arrows in his skin and said, "These should be enough." ”
Lin Fengsheng immediately took the feather arrows coated with poison and fired them one after another, and the arrows were not missing, and dozens of crocodiles were killed in an instant. The crocodiles swarmed forward to eat the corpses, poisoning a large area in a moment, floating in the muddy water with their bellies turned up.
The group of heroes was overjoyed when they saw this. However, although this method is effective, there are not many crocodiles in the swamp, and the poisoning is only a drop in the bucket. After the crocodile eats its poisoned companion, it is poisoned and dies, and so on. But the more it passed, the less toxic it became, and after poisoning more than 100 crocodiles, it was no longer fatal.
Lin Fengsheng said: "Senior sister, apply some more arrows." ”
Guo Xian'er nodded in agreement, and put her index finger into the bottle to dip it in the poisonous water, but she didn't touch anything, turned the bottom of the bottle upside down and poured it, and the poisonous water was exhausted. hurriedly said: "Senior brother, no!"
Lin Fengsheng asked, "Do you have any other poisons?"
Guo Xian'er shook her head and said, "No, the poison I brought has been exhausted, and I have to find a time to refine it again." ”
Mei Ruoxue said: "It's too bad now, if this stinky swamp gets fuller and fuller, and crocodiles climb up to the case, it will be difficult to deal with it." If only we could all ride the clouds. ”
Lin Fengsheng looked at the other side and said: "The thieves are really ruined this time, and they have fought against the water, as long as we can cross this swamp, this battle will be considered to be a victory for the most part." ”
Miao Le said: "Alliance leader, it's really not good, we can only kill all the horses and throw the meat into the swamp, these crocodiles are full, and they won't come to trouble us." ”
Lin Fengsheng shook his head and said: "These war horses have followed us into battle, and they have made great contributions. ”
Mo said: "It's inevitable that there will be many dreams at night, we only have a quick solution, I think this method will work, you might as well give it a try." ”
Lin Fengsheng didn't answer for a while, Mei Ruoxue knew that her cousin was reluctant, and shook her hand and said: "If it doesn't work, who knows how big the appetite of these crocodiles is, if they call their relatives to eat horse meat, how can these horses be enough for them to eat." If we feed all the horses and they come to us to make things difficult for us, wouldn't it be a waste of rice to steal chickens?"
Everyone listened to the reason, the number of crocodiles in this swamp is unknown, crocodiles usually eat a lot, but as Mei Ruoxue said, even if all the horses are fed to them, they may not be able to pass safely under their noses.
Lin Fengsheng looked around, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said happily: "I have a way, you all cut down some slender tree trunks, and the length cannot be less than two zhang." ”
