Chapter 277 Mysterious Murder 1

This is the western part of the Gaoyang Plain. The water network is vertical and horizontal, and the hills are rising. Mulberry, Ge, Zhe, Yu, fir, and dense forests cover the mountains and hills. In the cold west wind, they are carved into exquisite white branches by ice and snow. The icy river flowed through the low-lying places, the snow covered the hard ice, and the silver scales trembled in the sunset, as if dormant dragons and snakes were rowing away.

As he was running, the soldiers of the front team suddenly exclaimed, "Lord Ji Li, there is someone in front of you!"

Ji Li jumped to the front of the team and hummed, "Have you caught up with Zhongrong's defeated soldiers..." As he was talking, he looked ahead from afar and couldn't help but be stunned, but he saw that a hundred feet away, one person and one horse stood alone on the snowfield. Standing still in the roaring wind, as if waiting for them quietly.

Ji Li was suspicious and said in a low voice, "The forward battalion followed me. The central guard battalion and the guard battalion dispersed in a combat formation, and ordered the two-winged rangers to expand the search scope. Let's go!"

Two thousand soldiers scattered on the snowfield. Ji Li led the 500 forward battalion to drive his horse carefully. When he walked in, he saw that it was a Gaoxin warrior, dressed in yellow armor, riding on a war horse and did not move. The war horse is also like a wood-carved clay sculpture.

"Your Excellency, this is our sentry!" A soldier said.

"Is it Yan Kun?" Another soldier actually recognized the sentry from behind and shouted, "What are you doing there?"

Yan Kun still didn't say a word, with his back to the crowd and did not move. On the silent snowfield, one person and one horse stood in the snow, which was strange.

Ji Li was silent and slowly ran over. He walked two feet behind Yan Kun. Suddenly, he took a deep breath and his face was as dark as ice and snow. Behind him, a soldier said strangely, "Your Excellency, what's wrong with this Yan Kun? They rode the sentry to open the way in front of them. Why is he here himself?

Ji Li waved his whip and pointed to the front: "Look forward again."

The soldiers behind them stretched their necks and squinted at the snowfield in the east, and couldn't help but be stunned at the same time.

Here is a gentle slope in the middle of the hill. In the middle of the gentle slope is mixed snow. A smooth road is stepped on by countless horseshoes. It seems that Zhongrong escaped from here. It is surrounded by continuous elm forest, which has grown for hundreds of years. The branches are growing and the shape is strange. In the middle of this road, one of their twenty colleagues stood quietly on the horse every dozens of feet, all facing the east, as if they were lifelike ice sculptures.

"What's going on?" Gao Xin's soldiers exclaimed one after another, "What's wrong with them?"

Ji Li sighed, pulled out an arrow branch from the hollow horn bow bag behind him, broke off the arrowhead, and gently threw it over. He hit Yan Kun's back with a sneer. Strange things happened, and the stiff warrior's body suddenly split apart and scattered, as if it were a smashed pottery figur!

Gao Xin warrior was stunned. They have seen a lot of this kind of scene. The person who is hit by the earth arrow is invaded by the earth element on the arrowhead, and his body will turn into dirt.

"Has he been hit by an arrow?" Ding Xiao, the leader of the front camp, muttered, "It is said that the Gaoyang tribe once bought a batch of earth arrows from Diqiu..."

"He didn't hit the earth arrow!" Ji Li said solemnly and drove the horse to the side of the war horse. He looked carefully. It turned out that the war horse's eyes were closed, but he was sleeping soundly. This scene was really strange. The soldier who was tracking the enemy suddenly turned into an earth statue on the horse's back, while the war horse stood on the ground and fell asleep.

Ji Li frowned, jumped off the war horse, picked up a piece of soil turned into Yan Kun, held it in his hand, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, and said, "What is the level of Yan Kun's earth elemental power refined?"

"It is said that it has been cultivated to the third disaster." A soldier who made friends with Yan Kun said.

Ji Li nodded: "It's the middle-quality realm of 'unbreakable'. Hey, the strength of the earth elemental force attached to the earth arrow is similar to the strength of the first "no attack" medium product. An earth arrow can only make a part of the person be soiled. How can Yan Kun's whole body turn into an earth image? Unless he has more than ten earth arrows all over his body, the earth elemental force in his body can't resist the earth elemental force of the earth arrow and be soiled.

"But I didn't see an arrow on his body just now!" A soldier muttered.

Ji Li strode to the second soldier who stood twenty feet away. As expected, he was exactly the same as Yan Kun. He was covered with armor, and even threw his arms in the posture of shaking the reins. His expression on his face was vivid, and he opened his mouth as if he was shouting at the horse for his way, but his body had turned into an earth!

Ji Li looked at his whole body carefully and found no wounds, let alone traces of arrowshot. It seemed that it was a sudden change in his body in the process of sprinting at full speed, and it condensed in an instant.

"Isn't there any external force?" Ji Li was extremely surprised, "It is the unique ability of earth elements to localize or petrify people. Is there an extremely powerful earth master to raid them? However, if there is a master raid, how come the soldiers in front of him are unconscious and still on their way after the warriors are earthenized? You should know that their mission is to detect the enemy, and they are extremely vigilant when they know that there are eight or nine hundred enemies in front of them!"

Ji Li was confused, and there was a chill in his heart.

At this time, the soldiers of the forward camp had checked all the eighteen sentries in front of them. Just like Yan Kun, their bodies turned into earth, and the horses were sleeping with their eyes closed.

"Your Excellency, this..." Ding Xiao hesitated, "Are we going to continue to chase Zhong Rong?"

Ji Li gritted his teeth and said, "Chasing!"

After saying that, he turned over the horse and just sat firmly on the back of the horse. Suddenly, his body trembled, and he felt a very strange breath slowly pouring in. He stared around, the snowfield was silent, and the elm forest was quiet, and only the quack of heavy snow crushing the dead branches occasionally came...

"Your Excellency--" A soldier screamed, "Look... Zhuo Yin..."

Ji Li turned around and was stunned. In the team of his forward camp, a soldier quietly rode on the back of the horse and did not move. The soldier, who was still alive, instantly turned into a statue of earth!
