Chapter 21 The New Grave
Li Bochen reached into his arms and took out Yan Baiheng's dagger and held it, stood by the road and stared at Ye Yinghong's convoy away. He saw that they passed through the mountain pass without any danger and did not cause any changes, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he ran his true energy and walked slowly. When he was on the snow field, his legs were mixed with the flesh and blood of monsters. There was no abnormality in the past few days, but it was beneficial - he felt that he was faster and lighter than usual when he walked and jumped. When he stepped on the ground and raised his foot, he seemed to have a force in the soles of his feet gently lifted him up.
He walked like this for about ten minutes and left the gorge. The Wujing Mountain in front of him was towering into the clouds, and it was a gentle slope that could accommodate four carriages in parallel with the canyon on one side. This was Wujing Mountain Pass.
The trees on the mountain were covered with snow, and occasionally there were several yellow-brown rock walls. When he looked into the forest from a distance, he suddenly found a touch of red. When he looked again, it turned out to be a fiery red fox. The little fox stood on a rock wall. Although it was not a tiger or leopard, it also had the power of a tiger and dragon. It nodded to Li Bochen, and suddenly a burst of snow dust arose around him, and jumped into the forest.
Li Bochen was stunned - is that little fox the mountain king of Wujing Mountain? He really kept his promise and just borrowed those ghosts from him?
But the next moment, a violent shaking suddenly occurred in the dense forest halfway up the mountain, and a roar broke out!
Li Bochen's face changed and he couldn't help but curse in his heart - Damn! He was so familiar with this roar!
It was like a heavy hammer tapping on the huge drum surface, and it was like a muffled thunder rolling through the clouds... This was the roar of the monster, it was the muddy armored beast!
The mud-armored beast is shaped like a lizard, but it is the size of an elephant. This thing has a crocodile-like head and is covered with extremely hard armor. It is difficult to be killed on the battlefield and is often driven by second-level monsters. In the Wuliang Army, it is usually a crossbow that can fire iron arrows. But even so, some particularly strong beasts often die after being killed by two arrows.
How did this thing get around the Dangtushan defense line and come here?!
Did the Shanjun borrow the ghost from him to fight against this thing?
Li Bochen stood on the snow at the mountain pass for a few seconds with his knife in his hand, took a deep breath and calmed himself down, and realized something was wrong.
——At this moment, he could see the trees shaking from the middle of the mountain, and the earth and rocks splashing everywhere. The mud-armored beast seemed to be rushing in the forest, roaring constantly. But until now, he could only hear the monster screaming, and it seemed that there was no companion. However, according to his experience, low-level monsters such as Mud-armored beasts were very slow and rarely made sounds without high-level monster control.
But the one in the distance seemed extremely excited, as if driven by some force!
When he thought of this, he suddenly saw a figure leaping onto a big tree like a bird. The figure should be a person, because he was wearing a black robe, so he was particularly conspicuous in the snow.
Is this man also fighting monsters? But as soon as this thought came out, he saw a red light rising from the forest and rushing towards the figure... as if the little fox I saw on the rock wall before!
But before the little fox could pounce, another giant crocodile-like mouth suddenly poked out in the forest, and one of them went to swallow the little fox. What else could it be if it was not a monster? The black figure swirled like a wind, jumped behind the monster very lightly, and a little above its head, and then sank into the forest.
Even though they were far apart, Li Bochen could clearly see that the man in black robe was not a monster fighting, but he should be driving the monster and fighting the little fox!
He immediately rushed forward for two steps, but stopped again, remembering that he was no longer considered an infinity army. It was his duty to kill monsters in the army, but now the most rational way is to go to Beikou Town to warn and ask the garrison there to come and suppress it.
Besides, the man in black robe jumped like a bird in the forest, his cultivation level must be far beyond his own, perhaps in the Dragon and Tiger realm. Baiying he killed a few days ago was also considered a third-level Dragon and Tiger realm, but he set up a trap at that time, and most of it was fighting Yan Baiheng. Now he is dealing with a Hun Armored Beast and a Dragon and Tiger realm master, which is no different from self-destruction.
But despite the reason, he knew that when he really came to Beikou Town to bring in reinforcements, the man in black robe and the monster would probably have disappeared. He stomped the snow on the soles of his feet and told himself that he should leave here quickly, but he could not take any steps.
At this moment, the little fox fell into the forest again and seemed to have escaped. The forest then shook. It was the beast that was using brute force to chase after him under the man in black robe. But he did not go up the mountain or other direction, but followed the road below the mountain in the forest and went south... Ye Yinghong and the others left less than a quarter of an hour. If they had not walked far, they would probably be affected by a fierce battle!
Li Bochen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his heart suddenly calmed down.
The monster should be killed, and Ye Yinghong should be saved. What other choices can he have? At this moment, he suddenly realized why he had been struggling on the snow field for three years - probably because in the army, in such an environment, there were few opportunities to make his own choices.
But there is no need to choose and hesitate. There is only one way left in front of you, so you can save more effort.
He took a deep breath and followed the mountain's armored beasts galloping along the way.
...
The convoy drove out a mile and passed the Wuzhishan Pass. Ye Yinghong couldn't help but turn around and look back, and found that the man was still standing on the gorge and turned into a small black dot.
Manager Sun sat in the cart. Even though he held the shaft firmly with both hands, he was still flew away by the beard. He asked in anger: "What's wrong with the boss...?"
"I don't know either." Ye Yinghong said.
She didn't know why Li Song suddenly changed his face and told her to leave quickly. But looking at the aura on him, she knew it was definitely not a joke. She had seen the same aura on her own man, but it was far less strong than that Li Song.
He wouldn't be as simple as a deserter. Ye Yinghong thought that when he heard him speak and saw his work, he thought he was a clerk and a staff officer in Wuliang's army. This type of person used to be scholars, so it was normal for him to escape without suffering. However, she had always had a good impression of scholars and was in the same battalion as her husband, so she helped.
But now, his identity should not be that simple.
Could he be... a spy of the bandit!? Because after hearing what he said, he expressed his conscience and let him go?
Thinking of this, she changed her face. While immediately instructing her friend not to stop the car, she was paying attention to the surroundings.
Today is a sunny day, and the sun is rising high. On one side are the dense forests of Wujing Mountain, and on the other side are a large gentle slope. The gentle slope and the snow on the road ahead are illuminated by the sun, making them dazzlingly bright.
