Chapter 927 927. Stationed (4000 Words, Two in One)
A long army marched on the official road.
This is one of the vanguard troops marching from the third road of Tiandou City. Where the army passes by, some scattered villages sometimes appear. These villages look so natural and simple, and the sun rises and the sun sets And rest, as if abandoned by the world outside the new era.
Walking through the busy suburbs of spring plowing, the army gradually moved away from the city, and there were few people around. Sometimes scattered sheep appeared on the wasteland, like clouds. I don't know when, the setting sun has secretly slanted down the hills, and the whole earth seems to be covered by a thin layer of golden gauze, which is extraordinarily charming.
The vanguard army marched for nearly seven days, all the way south from Tiandou City, passed through the Sunset Forest, passed through Silves, passed through the Barak Kingdom, and walked along the Tas Grassland near Soto City. When the sun was about to set, they rushed to the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.
Due to the impact of the beast horde in the Star Dou Forest before, the land extending a hundred miles outward from the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest was completely uninhabited. The follow-up main force and logistics team arrived to provide a resting place. At the same time, because the army had traveled a long distance, the soldiers were already exhausted. They were going to take a rest here and send spies to the Star Dou Forest to investigate the recent situation.
In the vanguard army, a man stood upright, concentrating on meditation, showing a resolute and mighty expression.
Ma Hongjun raised his head slightly, and stared straight ahead, looking high-spirited and somewhat childish.
The mountain stands in front of it, with lush vegetation and clusters of mountain flowers. The continuous drizzle caused the mountains to be full of clouds and mist, and the mountain peaks seemed to be even more majestic and sinister in the curling clouds and smoke, which made people feel that it was mysterious and beautiful, introverted and arrogant.
Looking at the rolling green hills from a distance, it is like a surging river, continuous and endless. Looking closely at the green carpet of thousands of miles away, a gust of cool wind blows, and the green carpet seems to be microwaved, so full of vitality. There are also graceful flowers on the green carpet. When the breeze blows, they dance and dance gracefully, which makes people applaud repeatedly and burst into applause. Two lively and lovely sika deer talked and laughed while drinking water, and sang and played from time to time, which was very lively. The small river like a silk ribbon flows windingly, how pleasant to hear the sound of "哗啦,哗啦", and from time to time it makes "叮咚, 叮咚" jumping sounds, as if accompanying the river band, playing the spring hymn.
Looking back from the Star Dou Great Forest in the distance, Ma Hongjun looked around.
This is a village that has been abandoned for half a year. Most of the houses are made of wood and stone. In front of the windows and under the eaves of every household, there are strings of shriveled red peppers, one toot one toot, and one to one to hang. There are red scorpions, boiled ear after ear and dried tender corn to eat in winter. The ground is simply paved with gravel and fine sand, and there are blood and bones hidden under the dust. The fields near the village Without the care of the farmers, weeds are already overgrown. Occasionally, crows fly in the air and make strange "quack quack" sounds, which seems a bit intrusive.
The houses in the village are generally intact, but there are also many houses with yellow and mossy walls, some walls are damaged and leaking air, and the tiles on the eaves cannot block the scorching sun and rain.
As the vanguard general appointed by Yang Ming, Ma Hongjun naturally lived in the best house in this village.
This seems to be the property of the village chief. It is a three-story building, and its decoration is much taller than other houses.
Pushing open the dusty door, before Ma Hongjun stepped into the door, there was a lot of dust on his head, and there was still a choking dusty smell.
Raising his hand and tearing off the cobwebs in front of him, Ma Hongjun glanced around. There were only a handful of decorations in the house, the spacious hall was empty, and at sunset, because there was no light source, the place looked very dark.
"Ahem, cough, is this place really inhabited by people?"
The cat girl Duoduo stood behind Ma Hongjun. Girls like to be clean. When they saw this sloppy place, they frowned and raised their hands displeasedly to sweep the dust in the air.
Ma Hongjun was silent for a while.
As the ancestor of the blood clan, Catwoman Duoduo is now as powerful as a Super Douluo, and she is the pinnacle of the vanguard army. Of course, on weekdays, Catwoman Dododo will still listen to the orders of the vanguard general Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun scanned the corners of the room, and could see several yellowed bones with teeth marks remaining on them.
The owner of this house obviously moved the family property ahead of time, and he doesn't know who the bone came from. Maybe some villagers hid here, but they still couldn't escape death.
After all, when the beast horde comes, for ordinary people, no place is safe, even the normally high-ranking soul masters are no exception, there is a high possibility of loss here.
Ma Hongjun did not participate in the last battle where Yang Ming led the army to resist the beast tide in the Star Dou Great Forest, so he did not know the truth before. The scene of seeing this abandoned village at this time is probably just one of the countless villages close to the Star Dou Great Forest. A small microcosm, I don't know how many ordinary people died at the mouth of the soul beast, Ma Hongjun finally understood why Yang Ming must eradicate the remnants of the Star Dou Forest.
Not for anything else, just to vent my anger!
After the silence, Ma Hongjun saw the catwoman Duoduo standing outside the door and refused to come in, a smile appeared on his simple and honest face, and said:
"Duoduo, we still have to stay here and wait for the arrival of the follow-up logistics troops. The shortest is two days, and the longest is five days. If you are not willing to live here, there is no place to live outside, and you have to send someone to Cut down trees to build a camp, this place is so close to the Star Dou Forest, if I send soldiers to cut down trees, I'm afraid it will startle the snake."
"cut!"
Catwoman Duoduo turned her head away, her face full of displeasure.
"Stay here."
The cat girl Duoduo is Yang Ming's maid, and she is also the guarantee of the 2,000-strong vanguard. Of course, Ma Hongjun is unwilling to offend the cat girl Duoduo, and said:
"Well, I'll ask someone to come and clean the house. It takes a lot of time to clean the inside and outside. During this time, I'll go around and observe the surrounding situation."
"All right."
Seeing that Ma Hongjun is so talkative, Catwoman Dodo is not willing to push her forward, after all, the other party is Yang Ming's good brother.
Catwoman Duoduo took out a small bat from her bosom, only the size of a palm, handed it to Ma Hongjun, and said:
"This is a clone split from the dark gold three-headed Bat King. You should keep it with you. If something happens to you, release it as soon as possible. It will immediately return to me and tell me Report the situation."
Ma Hongjun looked down at the palm-sized little bat on his hand, and at the turbulent chest of the catwoman, his eyes almost straightened, and he secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"It's so big and the space in between is so narrow, I don't know how she managed to hide the bat."
With Ma Hongjun's LSP personality, if it were any other woman, she would already be licking her face and leaning towards Catwoman Duoduo.
"Friend's wife, don't bully her!"
With great perseverance, Ma Hongjun reluctantly violated his own personality, diverted his eyes from the catwoman Duoduo, walked out of the house quickly with his legs, and looked at his embarrassed figure, as if he was a thief.
Not long after, Ma Hongjun ordered a few soldiers to go to the village chief's house to clean up, and at the same time ordered six soldiers to follow him around to check around the village.
Originally, this kind of thing should not be done by a vanguard general like him, but it is Ma Hongjun's first time as a general, he has no way to be a general in his head, and he will do it as soon as he wants to.
Fortunately, Yang Ming also knew the situation of this good buddy. Among the 2,000 vanguard soldiers, there were only two masters, Ma Hongjun and Catwoman Dodo.
The village is far away from the Star Dou Great Forest, about 20 kilometers away, but there are already traces of the endless and dense forest in the distance, and there is a warning wooden sign beside the road leading to the Star Dou Great Forest, but now it is exploited The teeth were half-gnawed, and the writing on the warning sign appeared blurred and incomplete.
Ma Hongjun led the six younger brothers around in circles, looked at the Star Dou Forest from afar, felt oppressive in his heart, and stopped involuntarily.
Seeing the relaxed expression on Ma Hongjun's face gradually becoming serious, Xiao Wentian asked involuntarily:
"General, what's the matter?"
As Yang Ming's chief disciple, Xiao Wentian was also sent by Yang Ming to the Pioneer Army for training.
Yang Ming recruited disciples like Xiao Wentian not to support idlers, but to train them to become his own spare tires for rebirth, and if he wanted to train them successfully, he naturally had to let them participate in the battle more, because only between life and death Only when there is great terror in time can they be able to better practice the "Summoning Sutra".
The "Summoning Sutra" is indeed worthy of being the top magic art in the world of the tomb of gods. It has only been practiced for about a month. Xiao Wentian, who used to be a thin boy, is now much stronger, and the eyebrows are also gone. Humble and cowardly, Fei Yang with a bit of confidence.
Temperament is an illusory thing, but it can change a person's external image and produce earth-shaking changes.
Ma Hongjun's face was dignified, his eyebrows frowned into the shape of Sichuan, and said:
"Have you ever felt the unfathomable depth of the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Not long ago, after breaking through to the seventieth rank of Soul Sage, Ma Hongjun also started to cultivate his spiritual power recently.
In the entire Douluo Continent, Yang Ming, the leader of the Zhatian Gang with the strongest spiritual power in the world, Yang Ming wrote a book about his experience in cultivating spiritual power in order to motivate the gangsters, and put it in the treasure house for the gangsters to use. Contributions are exchanged.
After learning that Ma Hongjun had been promoted, Yang Ming originally wanted to give him the book directly, but he thought about it later, Ma Hongjun seemed like a simple and honest lsp, and it was okay to joke with him on weekdays, but in fact he Very sensitive, if you send it directly, it will only hurt Ma Hongjun's self-esteem, so let him use the accumulated contribution points to exchange for books.
Yang Ming's experience with mental power is naturally the most advanced in the Douluo Continent. After Ma Hongjun got it, he felt that his spiritual power has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has reached the psychic state.
It is worth mentioning that spiritual power is divided into several levels, which are Lingyuan Realm, Lingtong Realm, Spirit Sea Realm, Spirit Abyss Realm, Spirit Domain Realm, Shenyuan Realm, God King Realm, and Creation Realm.
It was also thanks to Ma Hongjun's mental power reaching the psychic state that he could vaguely feel that something was wrong in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Hearing this, the six soldiers including Xiao Wentian couldn't help being stunned, a little confused.
They are not yet qualified to touch such lofty things as spiritual power cultivation, and they are still at a superficial level, unable to feel that kind of thing.
"General, we didn't feel anything!"
"Me too."
"Me too!"
"..."
The six soldiers, including Xiao Wentian, were all disciples recruited by Yang Ming recently, and they all looked towards the direction of the Star Dou Forest.
The forest is as green as emeralds, the valleys are covered with green velvet, the river water is like flowing cream, and the moist air feels like crystal.
The raised and towering hillsides, pine trees, banana trees, locust trees, poplars, and ginkgo trees, each show their own unique beauty, clustered on the hillside, with thick wild grass as the background color, so beautiful, the hillside is colorful, and the spring color makes the hillside beautiful , like a young woman painted in a new dress, with a plump and graceful figure. There are clusters of dry reeds on the hillside. The tassels on their heads are fluffy and white in gray. They are swayed in one direction by the wind, giving people a kind of desolate and poignant beauty. The beauty of black jade in the wind is poignant and heart-wrenching .
The mountain scenery is beautiful, just like an oil painting.
Xiao Wentian was a shrewd person, he was afraid of making Ma Hongjun unhappy, so he thought for a while, organized his words, and then opened his mouth to help Ma Hongjun out:
"General, the Star Dou Forest is known as the number one soul beast colony in the mainland. I don't know how many powerful beasts are hidden here. Maybe this small village where our army is stationed is close to the territory of a certain beast. Not sure, I heard the master once said that the domain of ferocious beasts is very different from the domain of human soul masters. They exist in the territory they actually occupy as domains. Ordinary people can't detect it at all. Only strong people who have reached a certain level If this is the case, we ordinary people will naturally not be able to detect it, so it should be normal for the general to have such a depressed feeling?"
When Xiao Wentian said this, the five people around him recalled it, and all looked at Xiao Wentian with complicated eyes.
No wonder he is the chief disciple of the gang leader, but they are just ordinary disciples.
Look at his cleverness, look at his reaction speed, look at his unobtrusive flattering ability, what a shame!
After being smacked by Xiao Wentian indiscriminately, Ma Hongjun felt refreshed, and looked at Xiao Wentian with a little more intimacy.
"Young man, you are young and promising, I am optimistic about you."
