I don't know when a thick fog arose in the dense forest, and the entire Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts was soon shrouded in it, making the originally gloomy forest even more gloomy. The more than a thousand strange people who entered the forest only felt
When the vision became hazy, they slowed down their pace, slowly gathered together, held the weapon in their hands, and moved forward cautiously.
This dense fog was so strange. How could these thousands of strong men not feel anything strange and no longer be as arrogant as before entering the forest? After all, they already knew that there were dangers in this forest of beasts, so they naturally had to be extra cautious.
The army behind Pauling was not in any disorder at all, and followed his generals in an orderly manner, with a solemn expression, which was evident from their usual training.
The Tianxing Empire's military command system is very complete. Hundreds of people form a squad, and the leader is called a centurion. Thousands of people form a squadron, and there is one captain of thousands. Ten thousand people form a brigade, and there are two captains of 10,000. There are more than 50,000 people.
The above is a commander. Normally, training is conducted in units of a thousand people. However, the soldiers who came this time were all experienced soldiers. Naturally, there would be no situation where the soldiers would mess up their positions without seeing the weapons.
On the other hand, the strange people in front gathered together for a short time and then began to form their own formations, marching in small groups towards the depths of the forest, and gradually escaped Pauling's sight.
The two ghost brothers and Ma Hou followed closely beside Baolin, carefully paying attention to the surrounding movements. Jin Mei looked up at the sky from time to time, thinking that she still had lingering fears about the giant eagle that day.
"Brother Jin, how far is it from the Black Stone Mountain ahead?" Pauling asked loudly.
"It's about an hour's journey, but with so many people behind me, I'm afraid it will take more than two hours!" Jin Gui answered a little reluctantly, after all, the three brothers' leg strength that day was beyond what ordinary sergeants could match!
Under the cover of thick fog, no one noticed that the branches on the giant tree beside them were spitting out forked red letters from time to time...
After walking for a long time, Pauling couldn't help but asked loudly: "Why is it that there is not even a single animal in this forest of animals? Could it be that they all ran away in fright?"
This time, Jin Gui didn't answer. He just tightened the handle of the ax in his hand slightly. After giving away his most proud weapon to the red anaconda, he could only spend a lot of money to buy a cold weapon from the largest weapons shop in the imperial capital.
Although the iron giant ax is far less useful than the machete, it is still a bit heavier than the previous weapon.
A gust of wind blew up in the forest without warning, making the leaves of the trees rustle. The fallen grass clippings deposited on the ground were blown up by the wind, which made people unable to open their eyes. Many slender branches were blown down from the dense trees.
The branches fell squarely on the shoulders of the sergeants under the tree.
The sergeants all used their palms to cover the grass and sand blown by the strong wind. They did not notice at all that the 'branches' on their shoulders opened their small mouths strangely and bit the sergeants' necks that were not covered by armor... After biting
It unexpectedly jumped up again, taking advantage of the wind and flying onto the shoulders of the surrounding sergeants. It was as fast as lightning, and under the cover of thick fog and strong wind, it caught people off guard...
Plop... there were muffled sounds, and the soldiers who were bitten by the 'branches' fell straight to the ground without even making a sound, foaming at the mouth, desperate for life, and a strange killing was unfolding quietly.
This strange wind came and went quickly. When the wind dissipated, there were thousands of corpses on the ground, and the evil "branches" had disappeared without a trace.
This sudden change made Pauling feel nervous, and his eyes were fixed on the corpses lying on the ground. Unexpectedly, he did not even see the shadow of the enemy and suffered a big loss inexplicably.
"General, it is these strange snakes that are doing evil." Ma Hou held a gold-painted folding fan, with a small brown-black snake on the fan bone. The body was still twisting, just like a moving dead branch.
When the two ghost brothers saw the poisonous snake, their expressions suddenly changed, which reminded them of the weird man with the head of a snake and the body of a human body. If he hadn't been merciful for the sake of his master last time, the two brothers would have turned into two piles of withered bones.
But now he finally takes action, and his methods are so vicious!
Looking at the two ghosts who stood stunned on the spot, Paulin frowned and said, "Could it be the two snake monsters we met last time that caused the trouble?"
The two ghosts swallowed hard and finally nodded heavily. The imperial sergeants beside them heard this clearly, with deep fear in their eyes. In front of these 'enemies' who came and went without a trace, even if they were experienced
The iron-blooded army who has fought hundreds of battles will inevitably feel fear.
To these soldiers, dying in battle for the empire is a great honor, but it is really sad to let them die in such an unexplained way at the claws of these poisonous snakes and beasts.
Many sergeants wept silently, holding back the grief in their hearts as they piled the bodies of their former comrades together. Even Pauling, the commander, had red eyes.
"The entire army is on alert, and the bodies are buried on the spot!" Pauling issued the general's order, his voice trembling slightly.
Just when the imperial army stopped to reorganize, more than a thousand strangers had already reached the depths of the dense forest. The blue-black Beast King Mountain was in sight in the distance. Under the mist, the mountain like a giant beast seemed to be alive.
The flying phosphorus claws seem to choose people to eat.
In the jagged open space at the foot of the Beast King Mountain, ninety-seven beast generals stood side by side. Thousands of beasts arranged ninety-seven neat squares in front of them. Countless raptors were hovering in the air, just like Liu
The scene Qiankun saw when he climbed up Beast King Mountain for the first time was the same.
The only difference is that the eyes of the birds and beasts are shining with bloodthirsty light. The ninety-seven beast generals are smiling coolly, preparing for this rare 'great fun' that is rare in thousands of years. The only thing missing is the shadow of the red anaconda.
.
At this time, Red Anaconda was sitting on the top of a towering tree. Through the cracks between the dense canopies, he looked at the soldiers below who were digging a hole to bury the corpse with a wicked smile. Not far away, Ergui and Ma Hou were waiting.
People carefully looked at the movement around them, but did not notice the evil star on the tree crown at all.
Sitting in front of Xiaoyao, Liu Qiankun drank fragrant tea with a strange expression, but glanced into the distance from the corner of his eyes from time to time. Unfortunately, there was a vast white fog under the mountain.
"Brother, why is there suddenly fog in the forest today?" Liu Qiankun looked depressed. This damn fog made it impossible for him to see the scene at the bottom of the mountain. Besides, he had never seen fog near dusk since he came here.
Strange things about fog.
Qionghong picked up the fragrant tea in his hand, took a sip slowly, and let the refreshing liquid flow around in his mouth before speaking slowly: "To be honest, brother, this heavy fog is for brother's sake."
The purpose of casting the spell is just to make those ordinary people below the mountain suffer some hardships."
Qiong Hong knew that the red anaconda had used the thick fog to massacre thousands of imperial soldiers who entered the forest, and that an endless massacre at the bottom of the mountain was quietly approaching.
...Liu Qiankun was completely speechless and thought to himself: My sworn brother is originally a golden dragon. Isn’t it a piece of cake to make some clouds and fog? It seems that today’s battle is probably not about me!
