He Lingchuan smiled and said: "Okay, I'll bet on it. After all, the Ghost Needle Stone Forest is too big. It will take at least ten more hours to get around. The more time you spend, the more risks you will have."
"It's begun, it's begun." The thin man increased his volume and said proudly, "Let's bet on whether our team can make it out of the Ghost Needle Stone Forest. Let's place a bet or two together!"

The thin man was grinning from ear to ear. The dealer always took it all without losing money, and he was about to make a profit again.

The adjutant immediately said: "I will scold them."
General Nan Ke ignored him and said to the messenger: "Pass my order to go around Guizhen Stone Forest."

The herald received the order and was about to ride to the rear when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in front and a horse galloped towards him.
The scouts who were scouting ahead are back.
The horses were covered in steam, and it was obvious that they had just run for their lives.
The scout had no time to dismount, and he saluted and gasped: "A large number of enemies appeared in the northwest, enemy troops, less than fifteen miles away from us!"
