Seeing his frontline soldiers gradually disappearing into the thick fog, Cai Qing felt a little uneasy.
The fog in Mount Xumi is always very heavy, but today's fog seems to be particularly heavy. In this case, the combat power of your fire commander will be greatly reduced.
She immediately ordered the soldiers to gather together and stop forming long lines so that everyone could see their teammates and cover each other.
It's too quiet.
The silence made Cai Qing feel strongly uneasy. She seemed to feel that all kinds of creatures in the entire Sumeru Mountain were spying on these intruders in the dark~~ Among them must be the hateful ghost civet cat!
Seeing that the fog was getting thicker and thicker, her marching operations would be affected, so she instructed the soldiers to return the same way.
However, that weird scene appeared again! The neat path seemed to have grown legs and ran away! There are overhanging mountains and cliffs everywhere. Is there still a way out?
Cai Qing and the sergeants all panicked. They walked along the steep mountain, but they still couldn't find a way out~~
At this moment, many small red lanterns suddenly appeared in the misty fog~~~Pairs of them were flickering and flickering~~
Suddenly a black shadow fell from the sky and bit a soldier violently! It was a wolf as big as a donkey! The most surprising thing was that it actually had a pair of bat-like wings! Everyone was about to confront him.
He asked it to shoot, but it shook its head and threw the soldier in its mouth towards everyone! Then it took advantage of the chaos and spread its wings and flew away.
A flying wolf? Cai Qing couldn't believe her eyes! But the sergeant who was bitten to death by the flying wolf was right in front of her, so she couldn't help but not believe it.
She immediately ordered the soldiers to gather closer, with the fire drills ready to fire at any time, forming a circle to defend on all sides, and surrounding the baggage in the middle. She got closer to the big boxes, preparing to see clearly the details of the flying wolves.
Then release those river dragons.
There were more and more eyes in the fog! They approached Cai Qing's team step by step. Cai Qing saw that they were slowly approaching within ten feet, so he gave an order! The improved fire system put out exaggerated fireworks,
Shoot the destructive lead into those red eyes!
Suddenly there was chaos among the wolves! Many small red lanterns were extinguished immediately. Some of them jumped into the air!
Upon seeing this, Cai Qing immediately released the river dragon group that had been preparing to attack!
When the flying wolves saw the river dragons that were much larger than themselves, they were so frightened that they fled without a fight! They saw the river dragons chasing them closely, entangled them one by one, and made them fall from the sky immediately!
Then they bit their throats with their huge sharp mouths, killing them easily. Then the river dragons, who had not eaten enough for several days, began to bite and swallow the bodies of the flying wolves. They continued
The thick skin on the flying wolf's body can be torn into pieces by shaking its head, and then the fresh wolf meat with a slightly sour taste can be greedily eaten.
Cai Qing saw that most of the flying wolves had become lunch for his pets. Only a few of the older flying wolves were quite cunning and would immediately run away if something went wrong.
The green sergeants looked at the river dragons devouring the wolves with trepidation. They were secretly glad that they were with them, otherwise they would have had another dish.
In less than an hour and three, the corpses of the wolves were eaten by the hungry river dragons whose eyes turned green. Even the bones were gone. When they heard Caiqing's whistle call, they returned obediently like obedient dogs.
In those special big boxes. It seems that I have eaten enough today.
Unknowingly, it was already noon, and Cai Qing and her sergeants hurriedly finished their simple lunch. At this time, they found that the thick fog in the valley had gradually dispersed under the rays of the noon sun. Cai Qing was overjoyed when she saw this, and ordered
After a short rest, the troops set off and began to search for traces of the ghost civet cats among the mountains and ridges of Mount Sumeru on the vast edge.
The Qingqing troops searched several mountains but could not find anything alive, not even a hare.
Cai Qing felt a little confused, but she knew she had no choice at this time. It sounded like she was leading the troops to search for the ghost civet cats, but in fact they were trapped here~~If they didn't find the ghost civet cats to lead the way, they wouldn't be able to get out.
This is Mount Sumeru.
Just then, a big river appeared ahead.
The source of this big river seems to be on the highest peak of Mount Sumeru. The water in the river is exceptionally clear. From the shore, you can clearly see the colorful small stones on the bottom of the river and the small fish swimming nimbly.
Cai Qing looked and looked again, but saw no danger in the water, so he ordered the sergeant to prepare to cross the river.
Fortunately, most of the sergeants who came were good at swimming, and the river was not very wide, so everyone crossed the bank in a short time.
Just as they were about to continue on their way, a sergeant suddenly shouted! He found that his body was actually filled with black leeches!
Immediately afterwards, screams came one after another! After inspection, it was found that many people had a large number of leeches adsorbed on their bodies. After everyone took off their clothes, they saw groups of black striped leeches adsorbed on their bodies, which was very scary. The sergeants tried to use
I tore these leeches off with my hands, but the leeches were sucked tighter and tighter~~Some even penetrated into the flesh!
~ Upon seeing this, the captain of the guard immediately ordered the gang leader to quickly bring out some salt for cooking, and took a few sergeants who were not bitten by the leeches to sprinkle salt on the leeches one by one. I saw that the leeches immediately turned to the ground as soon as they encountered the salt.
It rolled up into a ball and fell from the person's body.
For those soldiers who had leeches burrowed into their flesh, the doctors accompanying the army pricked them with silver needles to force them out. After a while, those disgusting leeches were finally removed from everyone. The soldiers saw the small lump on the ground.
A small lump of blood-sucking leeches were so round that they couldn't breathe, so they raised their feet and stepped on them! The plump leeches were trampled to pieces for a while, and the internal organs and the blood that had just been sucked in burst out.
Caiqing looked back at the baggage and a small number of soldiers that had not yet crossed the shore, and began to worry: What should I do? There are five large carts of military provisions and various necessities, and in addition~~
Cai Qing suddenly thought of a way. She released the river dragons again. The general's luggage was packed into small packages and tied to the river dragons one by one with tough ropes.
There was no way to go down in the water anymore, so she rode on a larger river dragon and shouted to the remaining dozen or so heavy soldiers: "Ride on the river dragon and cross the river! Hurry!"
The dozen or so people were dumbfounded: Ride them? Are you kidding? Looking at them from a distance, they still feel cramped in their calves!
Seeing that the few people were shaking like quails and refusing to move from their nests, Cai Qing simply whistled and ordered the river dragon to take them gently by their sleeves and collars and fly to the other side.
These people were all frightened and screamed! One of them screamed the loudest, and while screaming, he hit the river dragon that was holding him in his mouth with both fists. The angry river dragon threw him into the river.
When the other people saw this, they were so frightened that they covered their mouths tightly, not even daring to fart.
The coward who fell into the water took a few sips of water and struggled to raise his head out of the water. He saw the sergeants on the other side making fun and noise at him, and he was so ashamed that he wished he could get into the water again and never come out!
At this moment, there was a sudden muffled sound from the bottom of the river! Something huge came out of the river! The originally clear river water was suddenly muddied by the sand stirred up from the bottom of the river!
The sergeants who were laughing on the other side of the river suddenly changed their expressions! They were all stunned, not knowing what had happened.
At this time, the river dragon was about to fall down and rescue the sergeant, but saw a huge gray thing floating quickly under the water! It ducked based on intuition, but the huge thing under the water was obviously
It reacted much faster than it did, jumping up from the water and swallowing the sergeant and the river dragon on the water!
The monster's entire body was now exposed in front of everyone. It turned out to be a dark gray salamander the size of a house! Not only was this salamander staggering in size, but it was also very agile in its movements! It used its long and flat super-large
His mouth swallowed the river dragon and the soldier together, then plunged into the water and disappeared.
The salamander is also called a wax dog or a fish, because its cry is very similar to that of a newborn baby, so it is also commonly known as the giant salamander. It can generally grow to be as thick as an adult's arm. It usually only eats crabs, fish, shrimps and other things.
Cai Qing looked at the turbid water and felt a bit of fear: He didn't expect there to be a creature more ferocious than the river dragon! This giant salamander must have lived here for a long time and been infused with the spiritual energy of Mount Xumi over time to become like this.
It looks like it must have been practicing Taoism for more than three hundred years for its size. Unexpectedly, it still hasn't shed a trace of its bestiality, but has become even more ferocious!
I saw that giant salamander devouring a dragon and a person in an instant, then returned to the bottom of the river, twisted its huge body and got into the mud. It turned out that it was resting in the river mud just now, and it was caused by the sound and trampling of the soldiers crossing the river just now.
The smell of blood oozing out from behind the leech woke it up.
Cai Qing immediately ordered all the fire commanders to pretend to shoot at the bottom of the river! Immediately, hot lead hit the water one after another. Although the giant salamander could not be hurt at all due to the buoyancy of the water, it successfully made it float up again.
, it unceremoniously opened its flat, terrifying mouth and rushed towards the crowd again!
Cai Qing quickly ordered everyone to retreat and led the giant salamander out of the water.
The giant salamander did not move very fast on the shore. It chased everyone fiercely, but was hit on the head with a lead. Although it was big, it had lived in the water for a long time, and although its skin was very flexible, it was not strong at all.
It was not strong. After being hit by the fire system, there were blood holes one after another immediately. The giant salamander immediately swung its four legs and hugged its head and ran away. It seemed that the improved and powerful fire system also hurt it. Everyone who was chased by it immediately
Some people surrounded it and started beating it on the butt. The giant salamander was about to escape back into the river, but found that its retreat was blocked by a large group of angry river dragons.
Dozens of river dragons opened their sharp mouths and giant claws, and surrounded the giant salamander like crazy! On land, the giant salamander is not as agile and powerful as in the water, just like a huge rag.
Being torn apart by dragons!
After a while, the giant salamander was bitten to death by the dragons, and even its limbs were torn off, leaving only its bare, weird-looking body and its big flat head.
Cai Qing heard someone say that the meat of salamanders is extremely delicious and nutritious. Even the meat of ordinary salamanders can prolong your life if you eat it regularly. This giant salamander has been cultivated for hundreds of years. If you eat its meat,
~~~~
She quickly whistled to order the river dragons to stop gnawing. Fortunately, the river dragons had just had a feast of flying wolf meat and were no longer interested in salamander meat.
The soldiers finally disemboweled the house-sized salamander and packed it up. Then they cut it into small pieces with the largest knife and put it into a pot for cooking. Everyone was attracted by the aroma while cooking.
Attracted, the salamander meat was eaten by the impatient sergeants before it was cooked. Everyone ate more than five bowls, and Cai Qing couldn't stand the delicious taste and ate two full bowls.
Caiqing saw that there was still a lot of salamander meat left, so he ordered the soldiers to sprinkle it with salt, pickle it and dry it in the sun, so that he could take it back and offer it to the emperor for consumption.
