Chapter 948: A Difficult Path
Some people say that the sky in June in Jiangnan is like a child's face, and it changes when it is said. However, the weather in Miaojiang all year round is like a June day in the south of the Yangtze River.
One moment I looked up and saw the sun shining through the layers of green leaves, but the next moment the dark clouds rolled over the sun, and the rain as thin as a cow's hair fell tricklingly, and soon turned into raindrops the size of beans, crackling on the leaves.
The road quickly became extremely muddy, and it was difficult to walk one foot deep and one foot shallow. In the jungle on both sides, all kinds of Gu insects crawled out from the ground, from the trees, and from under the leaves, and the sound of insects chirping was accompanied by the crackling sound of raindrops, which made people's hearts tremble.
"Ah!!!!h
In the crowd, a scream suddenly sounded, like thunder, startling the surrounding insect swarm. Blue Phoenix and Richard's faces changed suddenly, and they immediately turned around and walked back, heading in the direction from which the screams came.
When the two approached, they saw a young man lying on the ground, a centipede more than a foot long at his calf shaking his body, and his calf had become purple and black.
Richard's face changed when he saw this, and he shook the centipede into pieces with a wave of his palm, while the blue phoenix pressed his calves with both hands to prevent the toxins that entered the bloodstream from spreading to the rest of his body.
"Who still has detoxification there? Take the antidote and scatter it! ”
"I've got two more packs here!"
A person next to him took out two packets of detoxification powder from his arms and handed them to Blue Phoenix. The blue phoenix immediately sent the antidote to the young man's mouth, but after a quarter of an hour, the purple-black color of the young man's calf still showed no sign of receding, but the color became darker and darker. Black blood continued to flow from the wound, emitting a fishy smell.
"Damn, it's useless to detoxify." Blue Phoenix gritted his teeth, made a decision in his heart, turned his head to look at Richard and said, "Ximen Hero, please." ”
Richard nodded, in the past ten days, people have been attacked by Gu worms almost every day, some of them are lucky enough to rely on detoxification to detoxify, like this kind of detoxification powder does not work, in order to save their lives, they can only intercept the place bitten by Gu worms.
The heavy sword Wan Jun was unsheathed, and before the young man could react, he saw a flash of sword light, and the young man's calf was immediately cut in two.
The young man immediately screamed, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out. Blue Phoenix immediately stuffed the branch that had been prepared long ago into his mouth, bandaged him, and then stood up and said to the person next to him: "You guys, carry him on your back." ”
The two of them immediately returned to the front of the team, and the blue phoenix glanced at the dense forest in front of him, sighed, and said, "In the past few days, more and more people have been attacked by Gu worms, but the Plague Ridge is still far away. Simon, do you think we can reach Plague Ridge? ”
"Hiss!!"
In the grass ahead, a ghost-faced spider the size of an adult's fist leaped up and pounced on the two of them. Richard smashed his fist into pieces without blinking, and said lightly: "I don't know, I only know that those people in Duzun Fort are much more terrifying than this Gu worm." ”
"yes..."
Blue Phoenix couldn't help but sigh again when he heard this, "What's more, it's all come here, and the Five Poisons Sect has no way out." ”
After January, Plague Ridge.
Climbing to the top of the mountain and seeing the army garrison on the other side of the Plague Ridge, the blue phoenix was suddenly stunned. When she saw the big words on the banner fluttering in the wind in the station, she was shocked - the royal family of Dali is the Duan family!
The soldiers on patrol found Blue Phoenix and the others, and immediately shouted loudly: "Who is coming? Get your name in! ”
Blue Phoenix asked loudly at the soldiers, "This is Plague Ridge?" ”
The soldier looked a little surprised when he saw her Miao Jiang dressed up, nodded hesitantly, and said, "Yes, this is Plague Ridge." Are you from Miaojiang? ”
Blue Phoenix didn't hear the second half of his words, at this time, only the three words of Plague Ridge were echoing in her mind, her eyes turned red in an instant, and she turned around and shouted to the members of the Five Poisons Sect: "Everyone, we have arrived!" This is Plague Ridge, and here we are! ”
"Arrived?"
"We're here?"
A trace of astonishment and surprise flashed on the exhausted faces of the members of the Five Poisons Sect, and then they became incredulous, and an excitement spread inexorably in their hearts.
"It's here!"
"Here we are! Plague Ridge !! ”
Every member of the Five Poisons Sect cheered loudly, and some couldn't help but hide their faces and weep. In the past month or so, they have gone through hardships, every day is fearful, every night can not sleep peacefully, many of them even think that they will never be able to go to the Plague Ridge in their lives, and now, this Plague Ridge is in front of them!
When the soldiers in front of the garrison heard the tsunami-like sound of the mountain coming from the other side of the Plague Ridge, their faces changed dramatically, and they immediately turned around and shouted, "Enemy attack! There is an enemy..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a figure appear in front of him, and said to him with a smile: "May I ask this little brother, Duan Yu Duan Gongzi, is here?" ”
The soldier glanced at this young man with a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament, and hesitated: "Your Excellency knows our son? ”
Richard touched his nose and said, "Ah... If anything, I should be half of his senior brother. ”
Although Duan Yu had never met Su Xinghe Wuyazi and them, the martial arts he had learned, such as Ling Bo Weibu and the Northern Spiritual Skill, were real martial arts of the Freedom School.
A middle-aged man in light armor walked out of the garrison at this time and said loudly: "Who shouted that the enemy attacked? What was the sound just now? ”
The soldier hurried over and whispered a few words in his ear. The general glanced at Richard in surprise when he heard this, walked up to Richard and asked, "Your Excellency said that it is the senior brother of the prince, do you have any evidence?" ”
Richard smiled, and Ling Bo shook his body in an instant, as if a ghost suddenly came to the general's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Is this okay?" ”
The general was taken aback, and his attitude immediately became more polite, and there was even a hint of respect, and said: "I didn't expect that the young man's light skills were from the same school as the prince, if you were offended just now, please don't blame the young man." ”
He immediately looked at the Five Poisons Sect members on the Plague Ridge and said, "Young Xia, I don't know who these people are?" ”
Richard smiled, "They are all members of the Five Poisons Sect. We don't mean to offend Dali, we just want to pass through the precious land. I hope the general will make it convenient for us to pass. ”
"This..."
The general's face was a little hesitant, if it was just a few dozen or hundreds of people, it would have been released, but at a glance here, there were 20,000 at least!
"Shaoxia, I can't be the master of this matter, I have to report it to the emperor. If the young man is willing, you can let them set up camp outside the station first, do you think this is good, young man? ”
Richard pondered for a while and said, "Yes, but in the meantime, I hope the general will let me bring people into the city to buy some food." We're running out of food. ”
The general breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately nodded and said, "There is no problem with this." ”
