Luo Shang came to the front of the team and carefully observed the undulating mountains in front of him, "This is a branch of the Broken Mountain Range, after entering the mountain, you will continue to move forward, you will really enter the Broken Mountain Range, where the mountains are steep, the forests are dense, and there are poisonous beasts rampant, even the most seasoned hunters dare not go deep into it." ”

"But if it's just outside/around the branches, it won't be too dangerous. ”

"What if that tiger goes deep into the Broken Mountains, how should we find it?" Xu Yuan's face was gloomy, and he glanced at Gu Juan coldly, "Or is there no white tiger at all, everything is just a lie you made up?"

Gu Juan frowned slightly, feeling more and more annoying that this thing was a little annoying, but he still explained in a calm tone, "Tigers generally have a strong sense of territory, and they will not leave their sphere of influence easily. ”

"And even if it goes deeper into the forest, we can still find traces of it along the way. ”

"Okay, let's go to the village in front of us and rest for the night, and enter the mountain early tomorrow morning. Luo Sheng took over the words, didn't let Xu Yuan continue, turned around and whispered to Vice General Teng for advice.

"It's not appropriate to go into the mountains late at night, just according to what Miss Luoshang said. Tengyuan didn't want Xu Yuan to talk about it here, so he agreed without hesitation and began to command the soldiers and horses to move forward.

As the sun shone its last rays, the heavens and the earth were soon enveloped in darkness.

The Zhennan Army lit torches, and the procession was like a long fire dragon, winding towards the distant villages and towns in the night.

Soon, the Tanma who took the lead had already entered the village, and they had to find the village in advance to prepare food, lodging and forage for the follow-up brigade.

"Appeal ......"

Gu Juan reined in his horse at the entrance of the village, staring at the pitch-black scattered buildings in front of him, his expression a little puzzled and dignified.

Tengyuan rushed over from behind, and after observing for a while, his face also changed.

They all sensed something was wrong.

"Lord Teng, this village is not normal. Gu Juan turned the horse's head and looked at Tengyuandao.

"It's not normal. Tengyuan took a deep breath of cool air and frowned, "When so many of us came to the entrance of the village, we didn't even hear a dog bark, and it's summer, and this place doesn't even bark at insects?"

"How long has it been since you went in first?" Teng Yuan suddenly asked the soldiers next to him.

"Back to my lord, the dog baby has been in for a while, almost a quarter of an hour. ”

A quarter of an hour......

Looking at the dark and silent village in front of him, like a tomb, Tengyuan and Gu Juan glanced at each other, and said almost at the same time, "Something happened to them!"

"The village is too quiet. Luo Shang also walked over, and her big eyes were very bright in the night.

Teng Yuan thought for a moment, waved his hand and beckoned a Wu Commander to whisper a few words.

A moment later, a ten-man squad that had sorted out their weapons and equipment formed a battle formation and headed towards the village.

They quickly crossed the stone pai at the entrance of the village, and went dozens of meters deep into the distance to the nearest house at the entrance of the village, leaving two people to answer the guard outside, and the others directly broke into the door.

Time passed, and the village was once again dead silent.

Everything was silent, and even the two soldiers who remained outside to answer it seemed to have become sculptures, standing there motionless like nails.

Gu Juan narrowed his eyes, and a trace of heat in the depths of the dantian began to meander and swim, and at the same time, his mind turned, and it was already connected to the handle of the jungle knife and axe.

Luoshang retracted his hands into his sleeves, and suddenly walked forward to the vicinity of the stone monument at the entrance of the village, clasped his hands in front of him, staring at the black hole into the village and was silent.

Tengyuan's face changed several times, and after a moment of silence, he waved his hand fiercely, and a sentence popped out from between his teeth.

"Aim for that yard, use a rocket, and burn me!"

"Tengyuan, you dare to order the slaughter of innocent villagers, be careful that I go back and let my father join your Zhennan camp!"

Xu Yuan had just gotten off the carriage at this time, his eyes were cold, and he was nailed to Tengyuan.

Tengyuan exhaled a heavy breath, bowed his head and saluted, "Shizi, this village is strange, we have folded more than a dozen brothers into it, and there are definitely no innocent villagers inside." ”

"Moreover, the last general only ordered the courtyard to be burned, not to set fire to the village. ”

"That's not going to work either. Xu Yuan just shook his head, "The wind is easy to rise at night, the fire is bound to spread, and when the crime of a slaughterer falls, who do you want to make responsible for this?"

He paused for a moment and made an opinion, "You can wait until dawn and then send someone into the village to investigate." ”

"There are already more than a dozen brothers in the camp south of my town whose lives are unknown, and now there are still a few hours before dawn, if something really happens, this time is enough for thieves to escape!"

"You can let your subordinates watch the village. ”

"We only have more than a hundred soldiers, and it is far from enough to surround this village!" Tengyuan's hand holding the knife was bruised, and he couldn't wait to kill Xu Yuan, who was dressed in brocade and jade in front of him.

While the two were arguing, Luo Sheng hurried back from the stone tablet in front of him, and said urgently, "There is danger, retreat quickly!"

"It's foggy......" Gu Juan looked up at the gray night sky, and spoke almost at the same time.

The faint gray mist came from nowhere, but the speed of its spread was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had enveloped everyone.

Burst!

A torch went out.

Then, as if it was a contagion, dozens of torches were extinguished at the same time in the gray mist, and everyone was suddenly plunged into inky darkness.

"This night, it was a little too dark. Gu Juan stretched out his hand and slashed through the gray mist, holding the cold patrol axe.

No matter how much he concentrated his eyes, he couldn't see the distant scene clearly under the gray mist, and he could only see the vague scene in front of him only a few kilometers clearly.

"The back team becomes the front team, everyone returns along the same road, and then returns to the official road first!"

Tengyuan was yelling anxiously, and soon the well-trained soldiers completed the conversion of the marching army column, and quickly began to retreat along the same route.

After about a stick of incense, there was a commotion from the front.

Tengyuan hurried over, but immediately showed an unbelievable look like the soldiers in the front row.

Gu Juan looked at the looming Shimen archway under the gray mist in front of him, and sighed faintly, "It's still a familiar recipe, it's still a familiar taste." ”

"It's only been a few days, and it's already extended its territory down the mountain?"

"If it's really the same as last time, then what you're going to face right away is the living dead with stiff movements. ”

"However, the Zhennan army does not know this, and I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses under the sudden changes, and at worst it may be in danger of being wiped out. ”

"Although I myself am not afraid of those things that purely give experience, but the white tiger may be lurking on the dark side, and the survival of a few more soldiers can cause it a little more trouble, so if you can help it without revealing your secrets, you still have to help. ”

Gu Juan got off his horse and quietly distanced himself from the team, paying close attention to everything hidden in the dark depths.
