Chapter 4 White Birch Maze
Chapter 4 White birch Maze
The sunset is like blood, and the jackdaws in the birch forest are noisy.
As soon as the army entered the forest, it immediately shocked countless jackdaws. These jackdaws did not fly far, but hovered over their heads and squeaked.
The trees in the birch forest are not densely spaced. Under the leadership of several teams of scouts, the army marched smoothly. After a while, it had gone up the hill and walked to a relatively open mountain open land.
"General Su, there are a large number of rocks in front of us, and the road is not easy to walk. Shall we take a detour?" A scout came back to report.
"Ranshi?" Su Yong frowned and gently clamped his legs. How fast is Tianma? Several crossings have rushed to the front of the brigade.
This is not as simple as a messy stone bush. This is simply a stone forest. Countless ferocious stone pillars stand around the forest path, and many sharp rocks are covered with roads.
Su Yong frowned. The area of the stone forest is quite large. If you want to bypass it, you are afraid you have to walk in a big circle. Seeing that the sun is approaching the horizon, he raised his right hand and the brigade stopped. He took several scouts to get off the horse and entered the stone forest.
Strangely, according to the visual measurement, the stone forest and the surrounding short rubble are only a few miles, but when they entered the stone forest, the sky suddenly changed, and the surrounding environment was immediately completely different. The stone pillar, which was only a few meters high, immediately turned into a large stone tablet more than ten meters high, on the stone tablet. There are also some strange inscriptions engraved, bypassing these stone tablets. It is not the rubble just seen in front of them, but more stone tablets, and even further away... At a glance, it is endless.
Evil door. Su Yong immediately shouted, "Turn around, let's go out quickly!" However, it was late. As soon as they turned around, they could no longer find the small broken stone doors when they came, and even the thousands of troops behind them could no longer be seen.
There is still only the tall stone tablet in front of us, which is dense like a forest of stone shit. The army and even the surrounding birch forest can no longer be seen. There are only endless stone forests, and countless strange inscriptions hover over it, which is indescribably strange.
"Don't separate everyone!" Su Yong waved his hand, gathered several scouts around him, and shouted, "Zhao Gu! Zhao Gu~~"
After listening for a long time, I couldn't hear Zhao Gu's reply. I don't know how far I have left the army.
Day, it's really evil. It's not all dark yet. What the hell is this place? Don't let the brigade in. Su Yong thought about it carefully and immediately understood that this was a blindfolding method. He just used the strange array to rearrange these stones to form an unpredictable maze. Although they can't hear the sound and environment of the outside world, the outside world can clearly see and hear themselves.
So he shouted, "Zhao Gu, don't lead everyone in. This is a maze. You lead the brigade along the edge of the stone forest first, and don't step into this stone forest!"
The sound rumbled on the stone tablet, but I don't know if Zhao Gu has heard it. Anyway, several people listened carefully for a long time without any reply.
However, it was not without any reaction. I only heard a sound of flapping wings. The sky was dark, and countless jackdaws suddenly flew into the stone forest. These jackdaws flew to the tall stele and shouted.
Several people looked at each other, and they were all hit by deer. Several people, including Su Yong, were a little anxious when they were trapped. At this time, they were irritable by these jackdaws.
"Give me shooting them down!" Su Yong pulled out the bleeding knife, spit out his strength, and the sword breath came out. A jackdaw less than ten meters away from him immediately fell from the stone tablet.
Several scouts also immediately took off their bows and arrows. A burst of bow strings sounded, and several dark jackdaws fell down. Just as they were about to continue to shoot arrows, a burst of laughter suddenly came from behind them: "Hahahahahaha..."
Several people looked back in astonishment and saw a dark figure standing on a stone tablet 30 meters behind them, laughing wantonly.
"You keep the distance that you can pull each other with one hand." Su Yong whispered to a few scouts, and then jumped on a stone pillar in front of him and asked loudly, "I don't know why you are laughing?" The origin of the other party is unknown, and there are strange things everywhere. He has to be careful. Naturally, there is some respect in his words.
"Huh? Is it actually a Yanlong man?" The black figure was a little surprised to hear his Yanlong's words: "The Yanlong man actually went deep into the grassland. What's going on?" In his impression, the Yanlong Empire never had the opportunity to enter the grassland, but the people in front of him were dressed in black armor and their eyes were black and bright, which was very different from the Yanmeng people. He couldn't help but believe it.
Su Yong looked in the air at this moment and had already seen a bunch of gray and white beards on the black figure's chin. It turned out to be an old man. What was the origin of this old man? Could it be that he put it on? He bowed his hand in surprise: "This senior, I'm Su Yong, the general of the Yanlong Empire. I have no intention of breaking into this place. I hope you don't be surprised!"
"It's really a dragon man! Is it that the world has changed? The old man whispered to himself for a moment, and then said rudely, "You said it lightly. You just drew a knife and shot my jackdaw without saying a word, but now you are pretending to be clever? How can there be such a cheap thing?"
Is this jackdaw or the old monster's pet? Su Yong couldn't smile bitterly. This old guy was really weird. He laughed and said, "Don't be surprised, seniors. I just didn't mean to pass by here, and I didn't want to disturb the senior's Qingxiu. The jackdaw... is a complete misunderstanding. I really don't know that they are in captivity of seniors. I hope you can forgive me!"
The old man snorted, "You little guy can talk. You are an old man. No wonder you are a general at such a young age. Well... alas! To be honest, am I really that old?" How long have you been here? Yi Jiazi? One hundred years? I forgot all about it. The old man touched the back of his head and counted the index, but he couldn't count it.
As soon as he said this, Su Yong almost fell down, and the scouts below almost lost their breath. Are you not old? There are no old people in the world! Look at that beard, it's longer than their tied hair. If it's not all dark, I'm afraid even ghosts will be afraid when they see you.
"Old...senior, you actually look quite young, but the light is not very good now. I didn't see it clearly... Well, can you let us out?" Su Yongqiang endured the pain in his heart and said with a smile.
At this time, Zhao Gu and others outside were stunned. Another general had taken some of his brothers around the stone forest, but he saw everything clearly in the stone forest.
"What's wrong with General Su? Why are you talking nonsense to a stone pillar?" Zhao Gu's staring boss. Just now, he felt that it was inappropriate to hear Su Yong's shouting, but no matter how loudly he shouted outside and how loudly he guided the other party to come out, the people inside looked confused that they could not hear anything.
"I think the boss may have hit a ghost." Sun Shangwu was a little older and believed in ghosts and gods the most. Just now, it was he who tried to prevent Zhao Gu from entering the stone forest: "Let's tie a long rope with the rein and throw it in to see if we can bring them out."
At this time, the old man inside smiled and said, "Do you want to go out? Hey hey, I also want to. I've been wandering around here for hundreds of years, and I haven't gone out yet!"
