Sun Ce walked forward more than three hundred steps and saw a horse lying dead on the side of the road, which was the Wuhuan horse that Yuan Tan was riding.

But there was no Yuan Tan.

Sun Ce looked around unwillingly, the sky was gloomy, the sky was dark, the wind was blowing, and the raindrops of beans had begun to fall, but he couldn't see Yuan Tan's shadow.

"General, there are traces of blood." Chen Wu pulled Sun Ce's arm, pointed to a drop of blood on the ground, and said softly. Sun Ce looked along Chen Wu's hand, and sure enough, he saw a pool of blood, but it didn't look like it was dripping, but it seemed to be spitting out.

Yuan Tan was injured, or was he so tired that he vomited blood?

Sun Ce walked forward along the bloodstains, walked more than ten steps, and saw another stall. Everyone dismounted, Chen Wu and Xu Sheng walked in front with spears, and Sun Ce followed. You can see a pool of blood every ten steps, sometimes more, sometimes less, the rain gradually denses, the blood is melted by the rain, more and more thin, and gradually it is impossible to find it.

"General! Checkmate! There was an anxious shout in the distance, faintly.

Sun Ce raised his head and looked around, but he couldn't see anything, only Chen Wu and Xu Sheng stood beside him, looking uneasy. Sun Ce realized that there were weeds and stagnant water all around, and before he knew it, they had walked into the swamp. There was a panic in his heart, and he turned around and wanted to go back, but he found that there was darkness between heaven and earth, and he couldn't see his five fingers, except for the three of them, not to mention Yuan Tan, even Ma Chao and they couldn't see it.

There were only three of them left between heaven and earth.

Sun Ce looked at Chen Wu and Xu Sheng, and unexpectedly found that there was a deep fear in their eyes. Chen Wu is young, and it is understandable that Xu Sheng has been wandering for many years, and Sun Ce was very surprised that he would be so uneasy.

"What, afraid of falling into the swamp?" Sun Ceqiang'er was calm and made a joke. In fact, he was also very nervous, the world was dark, and he didn't know if he had a traverser aura on his head and whether he could illuminate the way.

Xu Sheng grinned, squeezing out a very reluctant smile. "The power of heaven and earth, a hero like a non-general can't be a hero, Sheng is a mediocre person, how can he not be afraid." He swallowed, raised his head, looked at the sky, hesitated for a moment, looked around, took a few steps forward, thrust the spear in his hand hard into the ground, and quickly walked back. "General, look at it like this, there is likely to be thunder and lightning, you kill the overlord and put it away."

Before he could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, accompanied by a loud bang, and a silver snake swept across half of the sky. The heavy rain poured down, like a heavenly river pouring down, and Sun Ce and the others instantly became chickens in the soup, soaking wet. Between heaven and earth, apart from the rumbling of thunder, there is a roar of rain.

Sun Ce couldn't help but shudder. Xu Sheng said it well, the power of heaven and earth is unbearable, and it is too scary to come like this suddenly.

At the moment when the lightning lit up, he saw a figure, a very lonely figure, standing straight in front, that is, thirty or fifty paces away. If it weren't for the darkness, he should have found out a long time ago.

"Yuan Tan is in front." Sun Ce shouted loudly, spotted his direction, and ran forward.

Chen Wu and Xu Sheng hurriedly followed, and Xu Sheng rushed to the front of Sun Ce in a few steps. "General, you are two steps behind, don't follow too closely." As he spoke, he walked forward, not very fast, but very careful. As soon as Sun Ce saw it, he knew that this was the right way to walk in the swamp. Xu Sheng is more experienced in survival, and if there is an abnormality under his feet, he can react in time, at least to provide him with an early warning.

Alas, it would be nice if Xie Guanglong was here, he should be more experienced. Thinking of Xie Guanglong, Sun Ce's heart darkened, and he added a little hatred for Yuan Tan. Twice rushed into battle, lost nearly half of the righteous cavalry, and the knights around him also lost nearly half, Xie Guanglong and Guo Yuan are likely to be more auspicious.

Horses can be replenished, but it is difficult for people to be resurrected.

After walking forward for more than thirty steps, Sun Ce finally saw Yuan Tan with the help of lightning that lit up from time to time.

Yuan Tan was just two or three steps ahead. He didn't have a helmet, his turban had fallen off, and his hair was drenched in the rain and hung down from his shoulders to his waist. Somehow, Sun Ce secretly praised himself, he didn't expect Yuan Tan to have such long hair, but now he looks a little down, like a female ghost, and with this gloomy atmosphere, it is really a little eerie and scary.

"Stop!" Xu Sheng suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand to signal Sun Ce. Sun Ce hurriedly stopped. "What's wrong?"

"Swamp." Xu Sheng's face was pale, and his face was full of rain. "General, you step back and watch your step." As Xu Sheng spoke, he quickly took off his helmet and threw it aside, took off the armor on his body, bent down to untie the straps of his combat boots, and then fell down facing Sun Ce, stretching his arms as long as he could. There was already a lot of stagnant water on the ground, almost drowning Xu Sheng.

Sun Ce didn't dare to slack off, made sure that his feet were solid, and reached out to grab Xu Sheng's outstretched hand. Chen Wu ran to the other side and grabbed Xu Sheng's other hand. The two of them used force at the same time to pull Xu Sheng out stiffly. When his foot was pulled out of his boots, Xu Sheng rolled over, lay on his back in the sewage, and let out a long breath.

Sun Ce looked at Xu Sheng's combat boots, which were almost swallowed by the swamp, and his heart shook violently. As soon as Xu Sheng stepped in, his foot was sucked in, wouldn't Yuan Tan be even more deadly? He looked up and sighed in his heart, Yuan Tan was still standing there, but he was much shorter, his original figure of nearly eight feet was now about six feet, and it was estimated that his calves were sunk in.

"Yuan Tan! Yuan Tan! Sun Ce shouted anxiously. How are you? ”

Yuan Tan turned his body and looked at Sun Ce. The lightning lit up, and Sun Ce saw an indescribable calm in Yuan Tan's eyes, his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, but with a hint of a smile. "General Sun, I didn't expect it to be a result, right? That's fine, I lost to the sky, not to you. ”

"you!" Sun Ce scolded, and suddenly, what grievances, what you live or die, everything was thrown aside. He only had one thought now, to do everything possible to rescue Yuan Tan. He couldn't say why, and he didn't want to think about why, but he just didn't want Yuan Tan to die here like this, in this swamp. "Lao Tzu wants to cut off your head with his own hands, and God can't rob it. Get down and don't move. ”

Sun Ce shouted as he put the handle of the Overlord on the ground to find the edge of the swamp. But when I tried and tried, it was all mud, and I just couldn't find a way to get through. In a panic, he looked up and saw that Yuan Tan was a little shorter, and it was estimated that his knees had gone down, but he still stood straight. Sun Ce was so angry that he scolded.

"You coward! Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and if you lose, you will seek death, what kind of hero is it? You die, I don't care, it's your father Yuan Shao who is happy. He wants you to die so that he can pass on the throne to your brother. You hurry up and lie down for Lao Tzu, and wait for Lao Tzu to come and catch you. ”

Yuan Tan laughed. "What's wrong with this, maybe this is the will of God, I die, I don't embarrass him, and I don't have to seek revenge on you for killing him. For me, it's harder than it gets. General Sun, I heard that my uncle had three requests before he died, and one of them was for you to kill him, is it true? ”

"It's true." Sun Ce tried a few times, but didn't find any way to go, seeing Yuan Tan gradually sinking, he gritted his teeth, took off his helmet, took off his battle armor, untied his belt, tied one end around his feet and neck, and handed the other end to Chen Wu. "In case I get trapped, you two pull me out." Without waiting for Chen Wu to speak, he threw himself into the water, used his hands and feet together, and crawled towards Yuan Tan.
