Chapter 21 The Colonel speaks all over the world, slaying wild monsters with arrows
This is the first field training for the government troops, and they are still very immature.
Wang Xuan didn't want to lose such a pitiful force, so he simply ordered Zhang Heng and Liu Shun to lead the team, while he took over the scouting and defense duties.
Since crossing Beishan, a vague sense of vigilance has arisen in my mind.
Wang Xuan knew that his group had been targeted.
Beast, or evil spirit...
Wang Xuan's eyes were sharp, and he looked around the mountains, forests, and wilderness. He saw no trace of birds or animals in the snow-covered dense forests, and dead branches exposed in silver in the wilderness. The only sound was the howling wind and the flying cold snow.
At the foot, the little black dog Ah Fu also raised his ears and looked around.
However, after a long time, no abnormality was found.
"He's a cunning guy..."
Wang Xuan murmured to himself, but became more vigilant in his heart.
At this moment, Zhang Heng's rough voice came from below: "Sir, it's time to eat!"
Wang Xuan glanced around again, then jumped down with Ah Fu in his arms, ignoring the cliff more than ten meters high, and large snowflakes splashed when he landed.
"Sir, I just made bone soup."
Liu Shun carefully brought the wooden bowl, while Zhang Heng hurriedly wiped his mouth, raised his sword and bow, and prepared to go up the mountain to warn.
"No need!" Wang Xuan waved his hand to interrupt, "It's loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Let's see what it is."
Zhang Heng and Liu Shun immediately understood and ordered the soldiers to put their weapons in convenient places.
The most taboo thing about marching is being unprepared for danger. Wang Xuan had already informed him of his discovery, so everyone was extremely vigilant.
Especially the new recruits, who are tired and cold, and have to face unknown threats. It would be false to say that they are not afraid, but it is this kind of pressure that can make people grow rapidly.
Liu Shun stuck a few three-edged feather arrows on the ground for easy access at any time, and asked at the same time: "Sir, what do you think this is?"
Zhang Heng chuckled: "It must be a lone beast. It is very hungry in the ice and snow. Seeing that there are many of us, it does not dare to come forward. It hangs far away."
The two of them had been together in the border army and were already familiar with this situation.
Wang Xuan smiled indifferently, broke up the dry and hard dough and soaked it in the soup: "If the beast is right, I will give you all extra food."
Zhang Heng scratched his cheeks and said with a smile: "I haven't eaten wild game for a long time. I remember catching a long-haired wild boar under the Great Wall of Ice and Snow. What a guy. It was more than three meters tall. The whole camp had their mouths full of oil."
"A three-meter-tall wild boar?!"
The soldiers suddenly exclaimed in shock and forgot about their fatigue for a moment.
The steel knife in the old man Bai Sanxi's hand was flying, while he was cutting the wooden thorns of the trap, he said: "You guys are ignorant, I have heard when I was in the world, the territory of Dayan has been plowed by the great masters for thousands of years.
Scan it several times, and you will be safe even in the wild. If you leave the human border, it will be a truly wild world!"
"That's right."
Wang Xuan nodded and said: "Since you have joined the army, you should know something. Although our country, Yan, has a vast territory, there is also a powerful Jin Dynasty in the south, facing each other across the Jiuqu Tianhe."
"North of Dayan is the Black Abyss Icefield, which is shrouded in ice all year round. There are many giant beasts and evil ghosts, and there are ice field barbarians who are like giants. Fortunately, thousands of years ago, the sages built the Great Wall of Ice and Snow for protection. Each of the four major legions in Northern Xinjiang has
Strong."
"To the west is the Western Wilderness Daze, which is shrouded in poisonous miasma all year round. I heard that poisonous monsters often come out, causing headaches for both the Great Yan and Southern Jin Dynasties. Fortunately, there are few people there."
"To the east is the sea. There are rumors that there are Immortal Islands in the sea, but no one has ever seen it."
The soldiers were dumbfounded when they heard this. A boy from Shiwa Village rolled his eyes and said, "Sir, if the Southern Jin Dynasty is so powerful, why is it that we, the Yan Dynasty, are so strong that we dare not cross the river?"
Don't blame them for their ignorance. In this kind of world, most people have stayed in their hometown all their lives and have never even been to the next county. How can they know what is happening thousands of miles away.
Zhang Heng laughed and interjected: "They have to deal with the alien tribe of ghosts further south. They are more ferocious than the ice barbarians. Without the Great Wall of Ice and Snow to resist them, they will burn incense if our Yan can't reach the river."
Liu Shun drank the bone soup from the bowl in one gulp and snorted coldly: "My lord, I am saying this to let you know that there are people outside the world, and there is a world outside the world. If you can't survive this difficulty, don't mention anything about revenge..."
This is the case in the army. One of them, Zhang Heng and Liu Shun, was a good guy and the other a bad guy, and they often changed their identities, which saved Wang Xuan a lot of trouble.
At this moment, Wang Xuan's back suddenly tightened, and a certain gloomy chill came over his heart.
"Woof woof!"
The black dog Ah Fu also lay down and kept barking.
"Coming!"
"Form up!"
Zhang Hengqiang pulled out his steel sword with a loud sound, and the soldiers quickly raised their spears and shields and formed a defensive formation.
Although they have not yet introduced evil into their bodies and cannot exert the power of the evil formation, their cooperation with each other can increase their chances of survival.
Wang Xuan also raised his silver spear and looked around.
However, there was still ice and snow in his sight, and nothing unusual was seen.
Is it a ghost?
Wang Xuan thought to himself that it was not good and immediately took out a demon-seeking talisman.
boom!
Stimulated by the evil energy, this exquisitely crafted yellow talisman burned instantly, and the green smoke visible to the naked eye condensed but did not disperse. It drifted out like a spirit and penetrated into the snow a hundred meters ahead.
"Underground, retreat!"
Wang Xuan snorted coldly, and his body suddenly rose up, leaping eight meters high, and the rotten silver spear wrapped in the roaring and sinister energy fell like a meteorite, piercing into the snow.
Boom!
Accompanied by a shrill roar, the snow exploded, and a giant spotted snake as thick as a bucket and ten meters long suddenly sprang out, its huge mouth opened, and its long fangs dripped with stinking venom and attacked him.
"What a beast!"
Wang Xuan's expression remained unchanged, he spun around in the air to dodge, and the silver spear circled around like a dragon before suddenly piercing down again.
Poof! Like breaking through a layer of tough cowhide, the rotten silver spear pinned the snake's tail to the ground, while Wang Xuan flew back on tiptoe.
"grown ups!"
Zhang Heng's hands were quick and he threw up the bow and arrow.
Wang Xuan caught it smoothly, spun it in the air, and landed with his bow bent and arrow ready.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Three bursts of bursting talisman arrows.
The giant snake was roaring violently in pain, and all the talisman arrows went into its mouth. There were three loud bangs, and its head was blown to pieces.
Seeing that the giant snake was lifeless, it still twisted and struggled for a long time, turning the snow into a mess and turning up all the frozen soil and ice.
The old man Bai Sanxi said in astonishment: "What a big snake. Why does it still come out in winter? Could it be a monster?"
"No, it's a basilisk."
Wang Xuan was in a good mood and said with a smile, "The monster seeks to transform into a monster, and the monster refines its bloodline. This thing looks like a mountain snake turning into a monster, and it also has the magical power of earth element bloodline. It's a pity that hunger makes you fat in winter, so it ran into our hands."
"Good luck." Liu Shun rubbed his hands excitedly, "This basilisk has hard skin and is so big, so it is much more valuable than the basilisk."
After everyone was busy skinning and deboning, it was getting dark.
The heavy snow has long since stopped, and the sky is full of stars. In the dark mountains, bonfires are burning, and the cauldron of snake soup is fragrant...
…………
On the other side, Chen Qiong and Xiao Qingman also rushed to Yong'an with their men.
"What, this happened?!"
After the two people explained the cause and effect, the county magistrate Li Siyuan was about to cry, but he didn't expect that this troublesome matter would end up happening to him.
Chen Qiong nodded slightly and said: "There is no need to worry, Magistrate Li. We have already found out that all the goods transported by Wu Laosan disappeared halfway. The target should not be Yong'an."
The county magistrate Li Siyuan is also a shrewd person. With a frown, he made a guess: "Wu Laosan died on the Nanshan Valley Road, and there are also zombie spirits causing trouble. Could it be that... they are hiding on Nanshan Mountain?"
Chen Qiong nodded and said: "That's right, the corpse spirit must have been manipulated by someone. It seems that Wu Laosan also died in the hands of demon Dao An Shusheng. Why are they fighting among themselves? Why are they gathering here? Let's go to the county government first.
, just to find out this matter."
"I heard that Captain Wang killed the Stone Corpse Demon. Can you invite us to discuss it together?"
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Li smiled bitterly and said: "Inspector Chen is late. Captain Wang is reorganizing the military government and has gone to Beishan for field training."
"That's a pity."
Chen Qiong didn't care either. They were a group of powerful people, and Wang Xuan's little fighting power was dispensable.
At this moment, Xiao Qingman, who had been silent next to him, suddenly glared, looked at the roof, and shouted: "Who!"
As he spoke, the sword fingers of both hands were focused, and the sword behind him immediately unsheathed itself.
There was a loud crash, broken tiles and dust fell, and the white light like lightning penetrated the roof beams.
The scar-faced man Zhao Ban Dao also flew out at the same time. He used the force to twist his body and landed on the roof of the county government office. Black energy surged from the half sword in his hand.
He glanced around with cold eyes and saw that there was no one else on the roof, so he turned back and shook his head slightly at Xiao Qingman.
Chapter completed!
