Deep in the jungle.
Thousands of white-horse troops stood among the trees.
Huo Baima paced back and forth, glancing up in the distance from time to time, looking very anxious, frowning and said: "It's already dark, why hasn't there been any news from Qi Yun?"
Li Jinyan said: "Young Marshal, please be patient! It's getting late, and our army will be safe as long as we stay in the forest!"
Huo Baima sighed: "Hey, I am afraid that Vice Admiral Qi will be in danger! If he never comes back, can we still wait here for him for a year?"
"Vice-General Qi is already an extremely good scout. Since he dares to go alone to explore behind enemy lines, he must be sure that he will not die in vain."
The White Horse Army has been stationed in the dense forest for more than two hours. Several teams are patrolling outside. Two scout teams are scattered in a radius of more than ten miles. If there is a dangerous situation, a signal will be sent immediately.
Earlier, a scout came from Qi Yun, saying that they had discovered a Gilded Kingdom force with a size of less than a thousand people, and it was the same force that had annihilated Li Tianqi's troops before. He planned to conduct more reconnaissance and report back. .
Among the White Horse Army, there were dozens of sergeants with broken armors, who were the remnants of Li Tianqi's troops.
Huo Baima was tired of waiting and called these people in front of him: "Which army is attacking you? How powerful is the general in it?"
"Reporting to your lord... I don't know. They appeared too fast at that time. In addition, the crossbows that were ambushed at the beginning dispersed the army at once. When we reacted, Commander Tianqi and General Li Lei Already killed!"
Huo Baima was a little scared.
…
"Nonsense! Where did this ghost come from? To deceive the soldiers, kill them!"
Tsk!
A general raised his sword and killed the sergeant who returned in embarrassment on the spot. Blood spattered three feet, and his head rolled on the ground like a watermelon.
The cold spring breeze blew by, and a whining sound echoed in the valley, like a ghost howling, and many people got goosebumps.
The Earth Martial Realm general immediately shouted: "Where is the ghost in the world? Captain Yang, Captain Sun must have been ambushed by the Yunxiao Kingdom troops. This person may have been frightened crazy, or more likely the enemy sent us to disturb us." Traitors of the military spirit! The whole army obeyed the order and retracted their formation. The crossbows and spiritual crystal cannons were activated. We are very likely to be attacked by the enemy!"
"yes!"
The general shouted loudly to make the sergeants wake up. They were powerful warriors, and their fear of darkness and ghosts was not as great as ordinary people's. They quickly plucked up the courage.
But they still put out some spar lamps to illuminate the valley for psychological comfort.
Two quarters of an hour later.
The Earth Martial Realm general walked up to the heroes of Zhan: "Commander Zhan, I believe that the valley here is no longer safe and we should evacuate as soon as possible. I'm afraid it's not easy to kill our scouts and two teams silently. !”
After the war heroes pondered for a few breaths, they spoke to him: "General Shu, take some of your troops to investigate outside. If there is anything wrong, send a signal immediately!"
"General, take your orders." General Shu nodded, turned around and ordered, "Captain Zhou, captain of the guard, lead a hundred people, follow me to investigate personally!"
"yes!"
A hundred elite soldiers walked out of the valley, led by two warriors at the ninth level of the Spiritual Martial Realm and one warrior at the second level of the Earthly Martial Realm.
…
"coming?"
In the forest, Qi Ying turned into a black shadow and completely blended into the darkness. His good night vision and keen hearing allowed him to sense that a group of people, larger than the two teams combined just now, walked out of the valley.
The team led by Zhan Qunxiong was so elite that the White Horse Army was no match for them in a head-on battle.
Even if he didn't take the initiative to fight them and just evacuated from the Mobei Mountains in a hurry, it was hard to say whether he would be discovered by them and trigger a pursuit.
What Qi Ying has to do is to turn passivity into initiative!
First, let the team of war heroes dare not leave the valley easily.
"Hmph, they have lost so many people, and they have become frightened birds, but they still don't have a long memory... How many people come out, how many people will die!"
Qi Ying quietly lurked over, and Brother Liu completely restrained his aura not far away and followed closely.
…
"Everyone, get together and don't disperse! There may be traps in the dense forest. If you encounter one, don't panic, otherwise you will fall into the tricks of the people from the Kingdom of Yunxiao!"
"clear!"
General Shu led a hundred people outside to find a way out for the large army.
They speculated that they and others may have aroused the alert of the Yunxiao Kingdom army, and the other party sent troops who were proficient in night mountain operations to deal with them, so that they did not dare to leave the valley.
The more this happened, the more determined they were to leave quickly under the night.
By the day the next day, the elite troops from the Kingdom of Yunxiao will be able to arrive, and it will be even more dangerous!
rustle!
One hundred people walked quickly, the sound of footsteps and the scratching of armor and branches and leaves kept resounding. They were not scouts, so they could only walk through the forest as fast as possible without moving too much.
After walking out for seven or eight miles.
"Captain! Six Tigers are missing?"
"What?"
"Captain, the three fat men have also disappeared!"
"besides… "
The hundred-man team suddenly panicked, and some of the sergeants walking on the edge or behind disappeared from under their noses in just a moment of inadvertence!
General Shu allowed his spiritual consciousness to cover several hundred feet in radius, almost two to three miles.
"Found them!"
Phew!
The troops quickly rushed over and found six corpses lying on the road they passed before. Five had a deep wound on their throat and died of death. One had his head completely broken.
"Huh? Is it really a ghost?"
"Oh my God!"
"Hiss..."
Everyone was in chaos again. They were already frightened by the big ghosts and little ghosts that the sergeant mentioned earlier. Seeing the death of these warriors in this way, they became even more frightened.
The few who died were all Spiritual Martial Realm warriors. If they were ambushed by others, how could there be no movement at all
There is a general in the Earth Martial Realm in their team whose spiritual consciousness automatically covers a thirty-foot radius. A slight fluctuation in spiritual power will cause alarm!
The murderer has no spiritual power fluctuations.
The person who was killed did not emit any spiritual energy fluctuations...
"Quiet! There are no ghosts, only people pretending to be gods!"
General Shu gritted his teeth and stopped everyone's discussion: "There should be some people who are proficient in assassination hidden in the forest. All the sergeants, everyone's left hand, is holding the right hand of the person in front! If anything happens, Directly fire out spiritual energy bullets!”
"yes!"
Everyone started to move forward again. According to General Shu, everyone's left hand held the right hand of the person in front, and their vigilance was raised to an extremely high level.
suddenly.
Bang!
"Ah! Something is tugging at my feet!"
