Chapter 42: The Former Wolf and the Tiger (Plus 3)

It looks like it has been buried in the ground for hundreds of years before it was dug up, and it is green and mottled.

The magic weapon that has always been so good in his hand was actually quietly wasted in the unknown deep mountains! Mr. Zuo's face was gloomy, and his flesh ached secretly.

But his immediate priority was to come up with new ways to push back the fog. After all, he wanted to protect not only himself, but also the pacification envoys and more than 100 officers and soldiers behind him.

Shen Gu asked him to follow him, just to deal with these strange things.

It was because he dropped the bronze bell that was about to become an antique, pinched it with his left hand, and a small red fire ignited on the tip of his middle finger!

The flame was only the size of a bean, more inconspicuous than a bronze bell, but after it appeared, the powder mist that had been trying to squeeze in stopped drilling. Zuo Shen bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed another mouthful of blood on the flame, and the flame jumped up with a "sigh", and the miasma suddenly retreated, and he didn't dare to approach again!

Zuo Shen immediately strode back.

Wherever he passed, the powder mist immediately dissipated.

The officers and men of Pinggu County were all aware of the notoriety of the miasma, and they were all overjoyed when they saw that he had a way to overcome it. However, Zuo Shen quickly commanded them to form a phalanx, protecting Shen Gu and the others in the middle, and then the county soldiers at the four corners of the phalanx wanted to light torches.

When the torch was lit, he sprayed a mouthful of blood into the flames, and the powder mist did not dare to come closer.

"Let's just go like this, move fast. I use my heart and blood to assist the natal true fire, so that I can temporarily retreat from the poisonous miasma, and it is bound to not last long. Zuo Shen said to Shen Gu with a solemn face, "The miasma is so powerful, it is impossible for the mountain bandits to stay in it all day." The bandits' nest must be in a ventilated and miasma-free place, and we will try another way through the miasma. ”

Even a strange man like him, his heart and blood are limited, and every drop of gold is very expensive, but now he has to use it to protect the safety of these hundreds of people. Shen Gu also knew that he was suffering a lot of loss, and he was urging the team to move forward quickly.

Naturally, this team did not let their guard down.

"The officers and soldiers have already followed. The white cat jumped lightly from the tree and landed precisely in the bamboo basket that the boy was carrying, "This distance is well maintained, and it will take at least half an hour to catch up with us." ”

Wherever she passed, the powder mist was still drifting leisurely, and she didn't treat Shen Gu and the others with extreme ferocity. In fact, the boy walked here just as freely, and the fog drifted three feet away from him, and he could no longer get closer.

He often unconsciously touched the wooden bell on his chest. Miasma is notorious, and he was still hesitant when he entered the mountain, but Chitose pointed to the wooden bell to keep him fine: "It's there, you can't take this miasma, just rest assured." ”

The white cat nested comfortably in the bamboo basket and watched him sweat like rain. This section of the mountain road is particularly difficult to climb, and even he has to use both hands and feet. The big black horse was let go of the miasma area, and the boy did not forget to remove the bridle from it.

The wooden bell can keep the owner safe, but the horse is not easy to say.

Walking this far was a huge challenge to his physical strength. Fortunately, he had to stop from time to time, waiting for the officers and soldiers behind him to catch up, so that he had time to rest.

Chitose's judgment was very important, and he turned his head sideways and asked her silently, "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely. Chitose snorted, "I left a little bit of a gadget that reminds me that they have entered the miasma and are still advancing, so it can be seen that the miasma has not bothered them." ”

"It can be seen that the appeasement envoy has sent a master. Hmm—" she paused and said leisurely, "maybe he's coming over himself, and he's really interested in you." "The officers and soldiers of Pinggu County have long had nothing to do about the miasma of the Poison Fang Mountain, but now they can drive straight in, and they can only invite strong enough foreign aid.

The most powerful official force within a radius of 200 miles from Pinggu County is probably the pacification envoy sitting in Yicheng, right?

It wasn't him who appeased him, but the wooden bell, right?" The boy raised his hand to wipe his sweat, a little relieved.

The pursuers stubbornly followed, and his plan was half successful.

If the officers and soldiers failed to chase into the Poison Fang Mountain, or failed to make it to the miasma area, he would have to go home. Otherwise, just with him and Chitose, a young boy and a man with weak mana, it would be a fool's dream to snatch things from the mountain bandits and the unknown origin of Granny Mu.

Fortunately, the appeasement made the Lord really powerful.

This section of the stone forest was finally completed, and there was a mountain road ahead, and the boy breathed a sigh of relief. From here, you can see the traces of man-made, because there is no road on the bare stone mountain in front of you, but a path has been opened up halfway up the mountainside, and it is actually very smooth.

In the deep mountains and old forests, probably only mountain bandits can do this, right?

He was about to take a step when Chitose suddenly said, "Slow down, look at the mountain peaks to the east, there are people there." ”

The mountain peak more than 20 zhang away to the east is also an extension of this stone mountain, higher and steeper, with a few pine trees growing on the top of the mountain. The boy stared at it, only to find that a lookout station had been set up on the top of the mountain, and there seemed to be a figure flickering inside.

Sentry!

This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a good place to set up a watchtower.

And this watchtower is hidden in the shadows of the trees, and he definitely won't find out if it weren't for Chitose's reminder.

The boy stopped, raised a finger at the white cat, and then another one.

The meaning is clear, it is asking her: How many sentinels are there?

Chitose is as easy to use as a bug, how can he be willing not to use it?

She could only roll her eyes: "There is only one person." As you know, this leads to the mountain behind the bandits' den, and it is guarded by a poisonous miasma, so there is no need for the mountain bandits to arrange multiple people to guard here. ”

The first two Pinggu County officers and soldiers returned with a feather, which gave the mountain bandits great confidence, and the vigilance against the back mountains naturally weakened.

For the boy, this is good news among the bad. The sun hadn't set yet, and he couldn't deal with two adult bandits with one child.

Chitose also wondered, "What are you going to do?" Even if there is only one sentry, the boy will not be easy to deal with. The road in front of him was built on a large bare rocky mountain, and the sentinels could see it from the watchtower to the east, and the whole time was unobstructed. It's impossible to slip under people's noses.

Seeing the boy groaning, Chitose reminded him: "Do you want to use a blinding method?" You can escape his ears and eyes, but my strength is too little, and if you are in danger later, I may not be able to help." ”

He took a lot of risks when he entered the mountains this time, whether it was Mu Poma, mountain bandits, or officers and soldiers, his life could be endangered later. Therefore, he could not easily use Chitose's power.

Changing places, Chitose felt tired for him. The scene in front of me is that it is difficult to ride a tiger, and there are officers and soldiers behind who are chasing after each other, and there is no way back, and the mountain road ahead is difficult to fly.
