Chapter 4, secretly crossing the warehouse

After leaving the camp the next day, Yasin knew that he had not met the two wingmen by chance. They have been falling behind the team, but they have always carefully circled outside the range of the crossbow, obviously following them all the way. Yang Hao, the old commander, also saw this, but there was no good countermeasure, only to be careful to prevent the enemy from sneaking.

The team has already left the boundary under the jurisdiction of Dongling City and gradually entered the barren Dafeng Mountain, which is theoretically under the jurisdiction of the Dongwang, the lord of Dongzhou, but in fact, it is almost an uninhabited area that is not taken care of. Except for the occasional merchants on the mountain road, almost no one can be seen.

"In front is the 'ghost crying forest'. We should speed up the march and go through it as soon as possible!" Although Yang Hao, who knows the terrain well, still takes the initiative to discuss with Yaxin, a student, on some major decisions, which seems to have become a habit. Yaxin also heard the name of "Ghost Crying Forest" and immediately according to the teacher's intention. While sending outposts, he made the army shrink the formation and speed up the march.

As a favored slave in front of Princess Yaoji, Xia Feng was naturally a waiter next to her carriage, either talking with her all the way, or chanting poems for her, but he didn't know the journey. But since Ji Xuanxuan suddenly appeared among the female slaves, Xia Feng no longer had a good life. Due to the limited carriages and horses, all female slaves can only walk by the carriage. The female slave pretending to be a rival in love has greatly dissatisfied the arrogant Ji Xuanxuan, but she can't ride like a sergeant. Naturally, she is unhappy all the way, but she dares not vent her anger on the princess, so she has to vent her unlucky Xia Feng.

"Poet, recite a warm poem to relieve my fatigue!" She was naturally used to it, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with this. She didn't know that Xia Feng was also an arrogant master. In addition, she still had a grudge against her. It was already very polite to ignore her. But she didn't know whether it was good or not. She caught up with him and patted him on the shoulder, and asked righteously, "Hey, I'm ordering you, didn't you hear me?"

Xia Feng replied coldly: "First, I'm not a poet; second, I'm not your slave; third, now that we are the same, you have no right to order me; fourth, and most importantly, if a girl doesn't even understand the least politeness, she is not qualified to talk to me."

"It's against you!" Ji Xuanxuan, who had always been arrogant, was furious. In addition to the cowardice she received along the way, a nameless fire rose up. With a choking, she pulled out her dagger and rushed up and pointed to Xia Feng's nose and shouted, "Kneel down and apologize to me, or I will cut off your nose and let my cousin blame you at most two words!"

Xia Feng smiled with a joking smile, "I'm sorry, I forgot to say the most important point. Even if you are sinister, vicious, despicable and shameless, you should restrain yourself a little in front of your cousin. No wonder your cousin likes the princess and doesn't like you."

This sentence is stabbing Ji Xuanxuan's pain, and she can't care about the consequences and scolds: "Look for death!" The short sword stabbed Xia Feng's lazy face. As soon as the sword was stabbed out, I felt a strong wind suddenly blow on my face, so that my temples flew up, and a huge object suddenly stopped in front of me, blurring my eyes. Then I heard Xia Feng's cold voice: "You should be glad that you are a woman, otherwise this punch will break your nose!"

Ji Xuanxuan didn't see it clearly until now that Xia Feng's fist had almost reached the tip of her nose. Ji Xuanxuan was shocked when he withdrew his fist. As soon as he looked at the other party's eyes, he knew that he was really not threatening. Looking back on the situation, I didn't see clearly how the other party dodged his sword and how he punched.

"How dare you bully me!" Ji Xuanxuan said that she stamped her feet and wanted to wave her sword again, but she heard a scolding in front of her: "Everyone is silent, don't make noise!"

Hearing that it was her cousin, and her voice was full of seriousness and tension, Ji Xuanxuan had to put away her sword and look up and saw that the people around her were quite solemn. Both the female slaves and soldiers only walked forward silently and quickly. Except for the "squeaking" sound of the carriage axles, there was no noise in the team. And it is surrounded by towering trees, almost covering the whole sky. A path broke through the heavy forest and stretched straight to the depths of the dark forest. There was a mist in the forest, revealing an indescribable mystery and strangeness.

"What is this place?" This environment made Ji Xuanxuan forget the fight with Xia Feng and quickly caught up with the carriage and whispered to an older female slave. The female slave whispered with fear, "I heard that it is the 'ghost crying forest', and there are often ghosts."

As soon as she heard that there were ghosts, Ji Xuanxuan immediately closed her mouth and flashed the same fear as other female slaves on her face. At the same time, she squeezed into crowded places and could no longer take care of the trouble of Xia Feng. In this way, everyone gradually entered the depths of the woods. At the sunniest noon, the forest was as dark and gloomy as a cold night with a dark moon and high wind.

"Wow" A creepy sound floated from the depths of the woods from time to time, floating like a ghost crying from the underworld. Everyone's pace is getting faster and faster, and at the same time, it is getting quieter and quieter. Only Xia Feng's mood remained unchanged, and even watched the reaction of the crowd with great interest. After knowing the truth of the world, is it less of that kind of thrilling adventure?

"Stop!" In the silence, he suddenly heard Yasin's shout in the front. Everyone couldn't help but stop doubtfully and looked around. It was still that dark and gloomy. There seemed to be nothing wrong, but it gave people a feeling that something was wrong.

"How many scouts have we sent?" Yang Hao caressed his white beard anxiously.

"Three batches, a total of 18 people, none of them came back." Although Yasin encountered this situation for the first time, he was not very frightened. He knew that all the soldiers were looking at him. A large part of the courage of the whole team is tied to their faces, and now even if they pretend to be calm.

"What should I do now?" As if he was used to it, the teacher asked the students for instructions instead. Yasin pondered for a moment, "Now even if we go back to another road, I'm afraid we will miss the deadline of the martyr king. I can't say, so I have to continue to move forward. Two more teams of outposts were sent to investigate, 50 people in each team, and everyone brought warning fireworks! Distance. In addition, it must not be too far away from the brigade.

The vice general immediately passed the order, and a moment later, the two teams of outpost reconnaissance marched forward again, and soon disappeared into the depths of the forest. The fifty people, in pairs, are several feet apart, and the last scout is still in the sight of the striker.

"Report! There is no way ahead!" Not long after walking, I suddenly received a reward from the frontmost scout. Yaxin hurriedly signaled everyone to be on alert, but he immediately saw several thick trees falling to the ground, just in the middle of the mountain road. Noting that the lower part of the tree was cut off by sharp weapons such as knives and axes, Yasin sneered and immediately told his followers: "Go and report to Commander Yang, just say that we have met the enemy, immediately shrink the formation, and be ready to fight."

He looked nervous and alert for a long time, but there was no movement around him. Yaxin looked at Yang Hao doubtfully and had to order the giant trees that blocked the way away. It is not easy to cut down such a big tree, and it is even more difficult to move it away. Hundreds of soldiers shouted their trumpets and moved the trees one by one with great difficulty. This delay was for a long time.

Xia Feng, who was in the center of the team, looked boredly at the soldiers moving the huge wood in the distance, but he guessed the intention to cut down these trees at the beginning. He immediately thought that this was to keep the army in place, and there must be follow-up means. As soon as I thought of this, the trees on both sides of the team fell down one by one and hit the middle of the team one after another.

Suddenly, there were screams in the team, the grief of the horses, and the screams of the soldiers who were caught off guard. Everyone dodged around in panic, and thousands of people suddenly became a mess. Xia Feng stared at the situation beside him and couldn't help scolding in his heart: Damn, it's similar to watching a holographic movie, and it's really too realistic.

While thinking about it, I suddenly heard the scream of Princess Yaoji in the carriage. I turned my head and saw a thick tree slowly falling towards the carriage. Xia Feng didn't have time to think about it. He immediately rushed into the carriage and rolled out with Princess Yaoji in his arms. As soon as he rolled out of the carriage and fell to the ground, he heard a loud "click" sound. The carriage had been smashed to pieces, and the flying pieces of wood flew out of Xia Feng's cheek, beating a soldier to spit blood.

"Fight to the forest to hide! Hide in the dense forest!" Xia Feng was originally a stand-by mentality, but when he saw that these soldiers who had laughed with him and pestered him to recite poems were smashed and blood in a blink of an eye, he was also a little unbearable. While holding Yaoji into the forest, he also greeted everyone loudly. This shout reminded everyone that they immediately ran to the trees on both sides. In this way, the fallen wood will no longer hurt them.

In a moment, I saw a large area of trees on both sides of the road falling down, almost covering the road. The treetops of the tree were tied with long ropes, and the other end of the long rope went deep into the depths of the dense forest. Seeing this summer wind, he immediately understood that these big trees must have been sawed from the bottom, leaving only the last point unbroken. The treetops were tied with ropes and waited for the army to be blocked, shrinking the team into a ball and then pulling down the trees. Suddenly, it caused huge losses to the army. I'm afraid that after this giant tree array, the other party still has follow-up methods.

As if confirming Xia Feng's conjecture, cold arrows were suddenly shot in the woods, and immediately many soldiers fell down. Everyone suddenly fled in panic and had almost no minimum combat effectiveness.

"Get down! Get down where you are! Return to the forest!" Hearing Yaxin shouting in panic, the soldiers calmed down a little and immediately lay down and fought back in the direction of the dark arrow with a crossbow, so that the other party could not take advantage of it. The magic machine camp used all powerful crossbows, and the arrows were obviously much more than those dark arrows. In addition, they were all divine archers, and the other party was immediately killed after showing a little figure. After a while, the opponents hidden in the dense forest quietly withdrew, and the forest returned to its previous tranquility.

After the other party completely evacuated, Yasin collected the team to rescue the injured. Nearly half of the God of War camp lost, and almost all the horses were lost. Fortunately, Princess Yaoji and Ji Xuanxuan were fine, which was also unfortunate.

"It's a wolf!" After looking at the killed enemies in the dense forest, Yang Hao immediately came to the conclusion, "Only they are best at fighting in the mountains and forests, and they also like to use such despicable tricks, and their weapons have also exposed this."

"Wolf?" Yasin's face was even more sad. The wolf is a famous bandit in the whole Dongxuan country. He is active in the mountains of the whole Dongxuan country and has been surrounded by the government for several years without being caught. Instead, he robbed many vendors and villages, believing that with the princes and kings, he could be so lucky to be in Dongxuan for many years. Being targeted by him this time is not good news for Yasin.

The crowd was hastily checked, and there were only more than 600 people who could still march and fight. The people buried the dead hastily, and the seriously injured were left in place, causing people to send letters to the nearest county and ask them to send people to rescue them. Yaxin himself led the remaining more than 600 people and continued to go to Jincheng.

Along the way, he was constantly plotted and attacked by his opponents. After everyone finally came out of the "ghost crying forest", more than 100 people were lost. At this moment, everyone is still in the uninhabited mountains, nearly a thousand miles away from the capital.

"Son Yaxin, there is no way to go on like this." Xia Feng has never treated himself as a slave, so he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with directing Yaxin, but the generals beside him are quite surprised and don't understand why this slave has been so bold? Xia Feng ignored the strange eyes of everyone and pointed to the wingman hovering in the sky. "If that's the eyes of the bandits, I'm afraid that we will encounter all kinds of ambush and traps along the way, and we can't get to Jincheng."

In fact, Xia Feng doesn't want to participate in these Dongxuan people's games, which is not exciting at all. However, when she rolled down from the carriage with Princess Yaoji in her arms, her trembling and pitiful appearance still aroused Xia Feng's instinctive hero rescue complex. Although he knew that this was just a game, he still didn't want this pure girl like "Sister Lin" to fall into the hands of bandits like "Wolf". Anyway, he also want to go to Jincheng, so just help her by the way.

"Then what do you think should be done?" Yaxin looked at Xia Feng with inquiring eyes and did not despise him because he was a slave. Seeing this, Xia Feng said the plan he had already thought of: "Mingxiu the plank road and secretly crossed the warehouse. Or it's also called the tiger leaving the mountain and attacking the east and west.

Of course, these are all words brought by Xia Feng from martial arts novels, war movies and historical stories, and they have not really brought troops to war. However, in this way, Yaxin and his generals were also confused. Yang Hao stammered and asked, "Ming, what is Ming Xiu? What's the length?"

"Oh, to put it simply," seeing that these guys didn't even know the most famous military allusions, Xia Feng suddenly had a sense of superiority, and the confidence of General Changsheng surged in his heart. "Our main purpose is to send the princess to the capital, and the goal of the large army is too big to avoid the eyes of the wingmen and the pursuit of the bandits, because We can use the large army to lead away the wingers and bandits, and let a few capable soldiers protect the princess and take advantage of the cover of the night to rush from another road to the capital.

"You let me ignore the lives of hundreds of soldiers in the magic camp?" Yaxin was unhappy to ask.

"What is that? Anyway, it's a burden for the princess to be with them, and you can't help them. Xia Feng shrugged his shoulders indifferently, got used to playing video games, and developed the habit of completing the task first. It doesn't matter what price to pay.

Although Xia Feng's words hurt Yasin's self-esteem, but if you think about it carefully, even if the princess and herself are still with the magic machine camp, I'm afraid there is no good way to deal with the bandits. Instead of dying together, it's better to use this "secret crossing Chencang" scheme. Thinking of this, Yasin suddenly looked up and asked, "I heard that you saved the princess's life?"

"A small thing is not worth mentioning!" Xia Feng looked indifferent. A trace of gratitude flashed in Yasin's eyes and whispered something to the attendants beside him. The attendants immediately left the camp and soon came back to give a paper to Yasin. After taking the document, Yaxin wrote a few words on it, and then handed the document to Xia Feng: "This is your deed of sale, and I will give it back to you. From now on, you are free. With my signature, you can get a new identity certificate in any city in Dongzhou, which is my reward for saving the princess.

"Thank you!" Xia Feng took the document casually and stuffed it into his arms without looking at it. Seeing that everyone's eyes were surprised again, Xia Feng looked at his whole body doubtfully and asked puzzled, "What? Is there anything wrong with me?"

Yasin sighed, "You are the strange slave I have ever seen. You should know that the greatest wish for a slave to restore freedom is to recover. If this wish suddenly falls from the sky, ordinary people will either kowtow and cry bitterly, or dance happily and can't be themselves. But you don't care as much as a trivial matter. You are really hard to see through.

"Do you want me to kowtow to you?" Xia Feng looked teased and gestured exaggeratedly, "It's a pity that I have never encountered such an opportunity to grow up, and I haven't done such a difficult action. Why don't you demonstrate it first?"

The generals suddenly changed their color when they heard it. It seemed that they couldn't wait to teach this unknown slave a lesson, but they were stopped by Yaxin. He ignored Xia Feng's jokes and only looked at Xia Feng sincerely and said, "There are not many soldiers. I hope you can protect the princess to go to Jincheng with me."

As soon as the outstanding generals said this, they were in an uproar and questioned Yasin one after another: "There are so many loyal and brave soldiers in the army, why do you have to hand over such an important task to a cheap slave?"

In the dissatisfaction of the questioning, he only heard a strange smile from Xia Feng. He couldn't help pointing out the generals: "Do you know why Mr. Yaxin is the boss, and you are all younger brothers?" That is, he has more vision than you and knows that I am a bitch than you warriors combined.

Now the crowd suddenly exploded, and many reckless generals pulled out their weapons. Before Mr. Yaxin stopped him, they had already greeted Xia Feng's non-lethal place. Suddenly, there were a few "oh" and "ah" screams in the camp. When Yasin stopped talking, he saw three or four generals falling on the ground, and everyone covered their noses with a painful face. Xia Feng was lazily playing with a single knife and muttered dissatisfiedly, "It's heavy and doesn't take advantage of it. The steel fire is far worse than the Swiss army knife. But there's nothing we can do. With that, a general lying on the ground hooked his finger, "I borrowed this knife. Give me the scabbard."

The general was even more annoyed, but Mr. Yasin had ordered him to stop and had no chance to fight hard, and his face turned red. At this time, Yaxin had taken off his knife and held it in front of Xia Feng in both hands: "This 'cicada wing knife' is light and sharp. Although it is not a magic weapon, it is also a rare good knife. I hope Brother Xia will not dislike it."

"No, no!" Xia Feng took the knife rudely and pulled it out casually. He saw a white light coming out of the sheath, and a cold air suddenly appeared in the camp. After two more random dances, it is really light and dexterous, only a foot long, which is very easy to carry. Xia Feng put it away with satisfaction and grinned, "I know you want me to work hard to help you send Princess Yaoji to the capital, so I accepted this knife rudely, which is the price of my life. A knife for me to work hard, or did you earn it?"

"Brother Xia is joking." The other party's words just hit Yaxin's mind, and his face couldn't help blushing. When Xia Feng knocked down the generals just now, Yasin could see clearly that his agile skills and incredible reaction speed were simply the only ones seen in Yasin's life. He had a lot of thoughts at that time, otherwise he would not have hesitated to give away his love knife. Seeing that the other party didn't care much about this treasure knife, he had to sigh in his heart: This boy has such a big appetite that I'm afraid it can't be easily won.

However, seeing that the other party promised to escort the princess, Yaxin was relieved and arched his hand to Xia Feng, "With Brother Xia's escort, I am full of confidence in the way forward." After saying that, he discussed with Yang Hao and the generals how to attract the enemy and determine the march route. A plan is arranged according to Xia Feng's proposal.

At dawn, more than 500 people left in Shenji Camp, led by the leader Yang Hao, continued west along the road as planned. There was a soft sedan chair in the team, carried by two soldiers, and a female slave was sitting in Princess Yaoji's clothes. Xia Feng, Yaxin, Princess Yaoji and Ji Xuanxuan dressed up as mountain people hiding in a secret cave in the camp. After dark, they walked out of Dafeng Mountain from the path and rushed to the capital thousands of miles away.

After learning the plan, Ji Xuanxuan pestered Yasin to follow them all the way, and Yaxin was not worried about letting her follow the divine machine camp as bait, so she had to take her with him. The four people stared warily at the sky outside in the cave and saw that the two winged men slowly flew away with the army until they could not see them at all. However, for safety reasons, everyone decided to wait until the evening before going on the road.

"In fact, why bother to send the princess to the capital?" In the boredom of waiting for the dark, Xia Feng couldn't help expressing his regret to Yaxin, "If I were you, I would take the princess away and not return to Dongling City."

As soon as I finished saying this, I felt a pain in my toes and had been severely stamped on the heel by Ji Xuanxuan. Xia Feng remembered that this despicable and cunning wild girl was also in love with Yaxin. Of course, he didn't want him to teach Yaxin such a crooked idea. Thinking that there were only two beautiful women he knew here, he didn't even feel for himself. One of them still used his affection to calculate himself, Xia Feng was a little depressed and couldn't help doubting his attractiveness.

Xia Feng's words made Yao Ji's face red, and a trace of expectation flashed in her eyes. Yaxin didn't dare to look at her and only sighed, "I'm not you, so I can only envy your wild and fearless temperament, but I can't learn it."

Xia Feng shrugged his shoulders regretfully and didn't want to say anything more, but he couldn't help saying, "There are not many people worth loving in this life. If you miss it, you may never find them again. Don't confess painfully until then: 'There was a sincere relationship in In front of me, but I don't cherish it. If God gives me another chance, I will say to the girl, I love you! If a deadline must be added, I hope it will be 10,000 years!'"

The three people who listened were shocked. Yaoji's eyes were tearful and seemed to be sad about her fate. Yaxin's face was uncertain and his expression was very painful. Obviously, he could not make this decision. Only Ji Xuanxuan looked at Xia Feng with strange eyes and muttered after a long time, "Although you are ugly, you are really a genius. Any paragraph of the poet can move people for a long time.

"I'm ugly? Still ugly?" Xia Feng almost tilted his nose and inherited the advantages of his parents. He gathered all the excellent elements of Eastern and Westerners. His skin was as delicate and smooth as Easterners, his facial features were as angular as Westerners, and he did not have a beard of Westerners. Xia Feng was confident that he was not inferior to Liu Tianwangbei's handsome man, which made people evaluate him as Ugly is really the first time.

"Yes, if you don't believe it, ask Sister Yaoji." Ji Xuanxuan was a little surprised by Xia Feng's reaction and hurriedly pulled another woman to judge her. After all, Princess Yaoji is a lady, and her speech is naturally much more skillful than Ji Xuanxuan. She smiled regretfully at Xia Feng: "If your skin color is white, it must be a rare beautiful man of the Western nationality, but you have yellow skin. You should know that all races are pure blood, mixed-race children born from interracial fornication, and are the most humble and ugly of all races. I don't suspect that you have the blood of Westerners. Maybe your parents are so ugly.

Xia Feng opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a long time. For the first time, I knew that I was ugly in the eyes of others. No wonder that I had been in the continent of Atlandis for so long. Except for Ji Xuanxuan, who had ulterior motives, no beautiful girl had a winked at herself.

Seeing his stunned appearance, Yaxin couldn't help patting him on the shoulder and comforting him, "Don't be sad, a man, don't judge beauty and ugliness by his appearance. With Brother Xia's literary talent and martial arts, don't worry about finding a good girl."

Xia Feng only had a bitter smile, but he was easy-going, cheerful and optimistic, and he was depressed in a blink of an eye. He thought that it was also a rare life experience to experience an ugly life! I was relieved when I thought about it, and said gracefully, "I'm ugly, but I'm gentle!"

The four talked and laughed, and the time naturally passed quickly. Looking at the completely dark outside, Yaxin greeted everyone: "Let's go. Judging from the strength of the wolf ambushed us in the 'Ghost Crying Forest', Commander Yang can last for up to three days. We have to take advantage of these three days to get out of this barren mountain area, as long as When it comes to the many officials and markets, even if the wolf chases us, it is not easy to find us in the crowd.

The night wind was slightly cold, and the sky and the earth were hazy. Under this hazy night, the four began to embark on the journey again. Shortly after walking out of the hidden cave, Xia Feng faintly heard a faint bell in the distance, like a lonely camel bell in the desert. Xia Feng began to think that he had heard it wrong. Unexpectedly, Yaxin also looked surprised. Obviously, he also heard it. The two couldn't help looking at each other and asking each other with their eyes: Where did the camel bell come from?

The silent bell soon disappeared into the night wind, and the night returned to its silence. Xia Feng saw that the two girls did not seem to hear the bell, so he shook his head slightly to Yaxin. Yaxin immediately understood what he meant and did not mention it, so as not to cause unnecessary curiosity and worry about Ji Xuanxuan and Princess Yaoji. The four of them went on the road in the dark. Fortunately, the moon in the sky was like a plate, and the earth was like a day, but it was less difficult to walk the road at night.

Due to the ambush of the "Ghost Cry Forest", there are not many horses left in the Shenji camp. He was afraid that too many horses would be noticed by the wingers in the sky, so Yasin only prepared mounts for the weak Princess Yaoji. Fortunately, Ji Xuanxuan has liked to practice martial arts and swords since she was a child. She is quite vigorous, and the long journey is not difficult for her.

The four avoided the road passed by the Shenji camp, turned to the hill road beside it, and walked out along the winding mountain road. Yasin couldn't help moving his nose wings, and his expression gradually became solemn. The lazy appearance on Xia Feng's face has also disappeared, and he also smelled it. There was a faint smell of blood in the night sky. As the four people moved forward, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger. Finally, even the war horses that had been fighting for a long time became uneasy and stabbed on their four hooves. Yasin motioned everyone to stop, and then whispered to the three people, "With my battlefield experience, this blood is not far from here. I'll take a sneak pee first. If there is anything wrong, don't come over. Brother Xia, they will entrust it to you. After saying that, he quietly touched the front without waiting for the consent of the three people, and the figure gradually disappeared into the night.

The three waited worriedly for a full meal, and finally heard Yasin's trembling voice in front of them: "Come here!"

The three of them were relieved to hear his voice, but they were worried about another thing. Yasin's voice was full of unprecedented fear. What made this long-standing young general afraid?

Xia Feng led the horse slowly along the mountain path, turned around a mountain pass, and saw a bloody scene that he had never seen before. Under the bright moonlight, countless incomplete bodies were scattered on both sides of the mountain road, like fresh pork wrapped in clothes, and blood was slowly oozing out of the meat. Blood is sprinkled all over the mountain grass, which has not yet completely solidified, and the internal organs and intestines are also messy all over the ground, emitting the original stench. Xia Feng only felt a burst of nausea and quickly covered his nose. Ji Xuanxuan and Princess Yaoji beside them have already vomited.

"It's a wolf!" Yaxin came to Xia Feng with a pale face and said, "There are about twelve or three. Their clothes should be masters of the wolf. It seems that the wolf left them to ambush here to prevent us from doing this. Somehow, they all died here. They died so tragically that they couldn't find a whole body at all.

"Will it be some kind of beast?"

"It won't be a beast," Yasin shook his head affirmatively. "The place of their ambush is not too far from our hiding place. If we scream loudly, we should be able to hear it, but we don't hear anything. They all died before they could scream. I can't think of any beast that is so fierce. And although their bodies are in a mess, there is no trace of being eaten by the beast.

"Actually, we have heard a sound." Xia Feng looked thoughtfully into the depths of the night.

"Camel Bell!" Yasin looked terrrant.

The four people led their horses tremblingly through this Shura hell-like mountain road and continued to move forward. On the other road, there are wolves in the way. Of course, you can't walk, and you can't go back. Then you can only continue along this path. As for what ferocious and horrible monsters you will encounter in front of you, you can't care about it.

I walked in the middle of the night with fear all the way, but nothing unexpected happened. Seeing that the sky had been exposed, the four people were gradually relieved. Dawn always made people look forward to it, probably because light can dispel the fear in their hearts.

"Who is it?" Turning around a mountain pass, a fierce shout scared the four people. They saw that there were actually two huge tents on the other side of the mountain pass, and there were ashes of the bonfire in front of the tent. The two soldiers seemed to be guarding in front of the tent, and the shout was from one of them.

Seeing that the other party was not a demon and monster, and the clothes were not the gang of wolves, the four of them were a little relieved. However, he did not know the identity of the other party for a while, and Yasin did not dare to reveal his details easily. It happened that the four of them were dressed as ordinary people, and the two girls also wiped a little dust on their faces to hide their rare beauty. Yaxin pretended to be like ordinary people, and nodded and smiled at the two sentries and said, "Two military masters, we are the people who defected to Changyi City on the other side of Dafeng Mountain. We are afraid of meeting bandits on the way, so we rushed on the road overnight. It's great that we didn't expect to meet officials here. We are not afraid along the way with you. What a bandit."

Two sentrymen looked at the four people with suspicious eyes, and one of them shouted, "What's your name?" Why do you prove that you are the people who defected to Changyi City?

"Oh, the military master is joking. How can this be proved?" Yaxin smiled and said, "But our names can be told to the military master." Saying four names randomly told each other, and the two sentries listened absent-mindedly, with impatient faces. They must not remember those ordinary names.

"Who is making noise outside?" The questions and answers outside had already awakened the people in the tent and only listened to her lazy question. The two sentries hurriedly reported through the tent, "Mrs. Yan, these are several people who have defected to Changyi. They want to go all the way with us."

"Oh, let them follow us. There are often thieves in this area, and everyone gathers together to take care of each other.

After listening to his wife's instructions, the two sentry men turned to Yasin and shouted, "You can follow us, but you can't be too close. If you want to disturb my wife, you can't afford to be guilty."

"Yes!" Yaxin hurriedly agreed and thought about going all the way with them. Even during the day, it was not easy to be found by the wolf. Why not? So he agreed without hesitation.

The four of them rushed all night. At this moment, they were already sleepy and tired, so they found a leeward mountain depression to take time to rest and eat. When the sun rose from the top of the mountain, the soldiers set out of the camp. Yasin hurriedly followed them and hastily counted their number, only about 30 soldiers. Looking at the style of their military uniforms, it should belong to the team of Yan Gonghai, the king of the south.

spent the day calmly, and Yasin was already familiar with those soldiers when he camped at night. Seeing that their clothes were thin, the kind lady also asked someone to send them a dress and allowed them to rest by the bonfire in front of the tent at night.

The night in the mountains came relatively early, and with a day of fatigue, the four people snuggled by the bonfire early and fell asleep quietly. ** At that time, Xia Feng, who had fallen asleep, was awakened by a creeping scream. Ji Xuanxuan, who was sleeping beside her, was red, her eyes closed, and she couldn't help scratching the void with her hands, as if she had been killed by a nightmare. Yasin and Princess Yaoji were also woken up by her. Seeing that she had been unable to wake up, Yasin slapped her gently, which finally made her suddenly wake up and sit up.

"What? Did you do something wrong and dreamed of a ghost calling the door? Xia Feng gloated. However, Ji Xuanxuan didn't care about Xia Feng's sarcasm at all. She only opened her eyes in fear, held her hands tightly in front of her chest, looked at the void and muttered to herself, "It's not a dream. It's definitely not a dream. It's too real, just like seeing it with her own eyes?"

Yaxin frowned and asked, "What did you see?"

"Blood! A lot of blood!" Ji Xuanxuan's voice trembled with fear, "Many people were pushed down from a high square spire, including blacks, yellows and whites. They were all disembowelled, and blood stained every step of the tower. Blood penetrated into the tower from the cracks of the steps. I heard a strange sound in the tower, 'Bata', as if licking blood.

"Sleep, I have to go tomorrow." Xia Feng yawned lazily and lay down with his clothes boringly. He didn't want to listen to other people's nightmares anymore. Unexpectedly, Ji Xuanxuan was still chattering: "I clearly remember the appearance of the high square spire, and I seemed to have dreamed of it when I was a child."

"What does it look like?" Yaxin asked casually. Ji Xuanxuan thought for a moment and drew it on the ground with a dead branch. After seeing her finish painting, Yasin scratched his head doubtfully. "It looks a little like the rumored sacrificial tower of the Westerners, but I haven't seen it, and I'm not sure. If it's really that sacrificial tower, it will be strange. You have never been to the West Empire. How can you dream of it?

The discussion between the two bored Xia Feng and couldn't help sarcasing: "If you want to understand your dream, you should find Zhou Gong. Don't think about it there. You have to hurry tomorrow!" With that, he turned over and sat up and raised his feet to wipe off the sketch on the ground, but he stopped before his feet fell on the picture. His eyes were stunned with surprise, as if they had seen the most incredible thing. It took him a long time to stammer, "This is the ancient Egyptian pyramid!"

At the same time, in Poseidon, the capital of the distant Western Empire, the living sacrifice ceremony on the high sacrificial tower was still going on. The axe-wielding executioner's axe flashed, and a slave on the sacrificial platform at the top of the tower was opened and then kicked down from the top of the tower by the executioner and rolled straight to the bottom of the tower. The executioner killed and kicked, and soon killed a batch, and the other group was escorted to the sacrificial platform at the top of the tower. Blood flowed down the stairs made of boulders and slowly penetrated into the tower from the cracks. The sound of licking came from the depths of the tower. Although the heavy boulders, the sound was still terrible.

After killing how many slaves were killed, the licking finally stopped, followed by a dull roar from the ground of the sacrificial tower. Something hit the inner wall of the sacrificial tower heavily. The priests who praised the scriptures at the edge of the tower felt the earth trembling and build sacrifices. Dust fell down from the huge stones of the tower. The priest on duty came to an old man with white hair, fell to the ground respectfully, and reported loudly, "Master Stanma, the mythical beast guarding the palace of the gods, has enjoyed its sacrifices. The door of the holy palace has been opened, and the gods are listening to your instructions!"

The thin old man, whose face was pale and almost transparent, slowly climbed the high sacrificial tower along the stone level. All the people around the tower fell to the ground, and thousands of people were suddenly silent. On the sacrificial tower, Master Stanma knelt down in the East, then raised his staff high above his head and shouted to the void, "God! Please tell your people what kind of disaster, chaos, killing and death will bring to your people? How can your people avoid those disasters?

With his prayer, a line of shining strange symbols gradually appeared in the void. Master Stanma stared nervously at the hazy symbols, his breathing gradually became rapid, and people trembled involuntarily until those symbols completely disappeared. He suddenly cried, bowed to the ground, and shouted hoarsely, "You can't do this! You can't do this! You can't abandon your people!"

There are no more symbols in the void, and heaven and earth have restored its original indifference and emptiness. The elderly Master Stanma was finally helped down from the sacrificial tower by the priest. His expression was so depressed, as if he had aged ten years in a moment. An elder of the Senate couldn't help whispering, "What did the oracle say?"

Stanmar's eyes were scattered in the empty place and muttered reluctantly, "God has abandoned the continent of Alandis. The beautiful and rich continent of Alandis will sink in the sea!"

"Sleep! I have to hurry tomorrow!" Although the pyramid painted by Ji Xuanxuan surprised Xia Feng very much, but after thinking about it, maybe it was just a coincidence, right? It is not surprising that things in reality appear in this world, because many settings are inspired by reality.

Yasin also sighed, added a few dead branches to the bonfire, and then signaled to the two girls, "Don't think about it. It's just a nightmare. If you sleep a little longer, it's still early."

Ji Xuanxuan shivered and couldn't help tightening her clothes and said to herself with a frightened face, "I dare not sleep anymore. If I want to dream of that murderous conical tower again, I must be scared to death."

The four returned to calm. After a while, Xia Feng began to snoo gently, and Yaxin also entered the sleepless situation. Princess Yaoji huddled beside the bonfire and was sleepy. Only Ji Xuanxuan looked at the bonfire sleeplessly in a daze. At this moment, a faint bell faintly came from afar. Ji Xuanxuan was stunned and couldn't help looking in the direction of the bell. It was strange in her heart that how could there be a camel bell in these mountains?

When the bell rang for the second time, Xia Feng and Yaxin turned over and sat up almost at the same time. They were all sleepy and looked at the direction of the bell, with a very shocked expression. It's just that the two eyes are different. Yaxin's eyes are very afraid, while Xia Feng's eyes are more curious.

The bell gradually drifted, and the sentry next to the tent was also attracted by the bell. He couldn't help cursing and complaining: "The barren mountains, who is full? Get a bell in the middle of the night to scare people. Come and see if I don't clean up this bastard later."

The bell was getting closer and closer, and gradually showed a few hazy figures under the moonlight. Accompanied by the bell, there was a strange footing sound, like some injured strong men, struggling to trek on the mountain road. Xia Feng stood up and opened his eyes and looked at the dark shadows. Under the hazy moonlight, a thin old man in a cyan robe and a staff walked in front, and the other was holding a small bell in his hand. Every three or five steps he took, he gently shook it, and the enchanting and dazzling bell sounded leisurely. Behind him were several strange men, all pale, stiff, slow and empty eyes. It seems that there is no consciousness at all. It is entirely through the guidance of the bell to know how to move forward.

"Who? What the hell? Stop!" The two sentry men raised their knives and stopped the people carelessly. At this time, the thin and tall old man in front suddenly shook the copper bell in his hand, and the bell suddenly tightened. Several stiff men following him suddenly became extremely flexible and rushed forward like lightning, waiting for the two sentry men to react. Those men were like ghosts and tore them into pieces in a blink of an eye. Those men acted fiercely and cruelly and were not like strangers at all, and the blood immediately stained a large area of grass.

Xia Feng in the distance was shocked, and the two girls screamed even more. Yasin was also trembling all over, and the expression on his face was not like a mortal general at all. Xia Feng noticed his excessive fear and couldn't help asking, "Do you know them?"

Yaxin trembled his lips and replied word by word in a hoarse and trembling voice: "Death, spirit, magic, master!"
