A Will Eternal Chapter 044
The cold wind blows and blows, pushing the gears of fate... ahem, pushing the axis of time to spin round and round.
In the morning, the border of the jungle.
A tall bush made a constant rustling sound. If you looked from above, you would think that there was a tiger approaching its prey. At this time, suddenly, a pair of big hands stretched out from inside and pushed the grass away. Behind the hand... er, a wooden stick? Wait, let's turn our attention back... Why don't these big hands have nails? Take a closer look, well, it turns out that these "big hands" are carved out of wood.
The pair of artificial hands froze outside the grass for a few seconds, but there was still no movement around them.
A moment later, a huge head protruded from the inside. It turned out to be a majestic man wearing animal skins and crawling. With such a body shape, but making such sneaky movements, it has to make people think of the word "wretched"!
After the big man poked his head out, he carefully looked left and right, like a mouse about to come out of its hole.
Suddenly, the big man's eyes were fixed, and then his face showed ecstasy.
Then he jumped up and ran backwards: "Haha, Boss, Shan, I saw the mountain. Haha..."
At this moment, a figure jumped out from the side like a ghost, and instantly a dagger stuck to the neck of the big man.
Uh... the big man felt as if he had been shocked by an electric shock, he kept running and stood still.
"David, I'm sorry, I won again." The dagger was put away, and a young man with a feminine appearance emerged from behind him.
"Mi Xiu, you're playing tricks, didn't you see that I have something to ask the boss?" The strong man was obviously not convinced.
"David, nothing is more important than life." There was another voice, and an ordinary-looking young man turned out from behind the tree, smiling slightly with narrow eyes.
"Yes, Boss!" The big man replied dejectedly, but immediately said with joy, "Boss, I saw the mountain."
"Well, I saw it." The young man nodded, then looked at the mountains in front of him, and muttered to himself, "Damn, finally came out..."
The three of them were Tang En, David and Mi Xiu. Since that lure bee exterminated the pursuers, this group of gray-clothed soldiers finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Also, phagocytosis bees don't eat food, so Tang En specially asked David and Mixiu to sort out all the supplies in that miserable position. After all, that was three-day rations for 2,000 people, and the gray-clothed army immediately lived a happy life, feeling that all hardships have been rewarded. Of course, David and Michelle will not have much appetite in the next few days... How to get out of this jungle becomes the next problem after you no longer have to worry about being hungry. Of course it is impossible to turn around, not to mention whether you can find the way you came here, but to say that you have killed more than two thousand soldiers, so you can't go back and surrender yourself.
After a short discussion, everyone decided to move on. The problem of direction is also easy to solve. As long as you compare the sun rising in the east and setting in the west every day, and observe the stars in the sky at night, you can always roughly determine a route.
Finally, exactly a week later, Tang En and the others saw the mountains in the distance. What I want to say is that the gray army also suffered casualties in the past seven days. The dangers of the jungle have always been unexpected. One member died from mosquito bites, two died from poisonous snakes, and five died from strange vines.
The vines looked similar to ordinary vines, but in fact they lived by devouring the flesh and blood of passing creatures, just like the man-eating bees. Everyone didn't pay attention to it at first, but it caused the biggest casualty of the Gray Army in the past few days. In the end, if it hadn't been greedy and followed behind, and was finally discovered and killed by Tang En, there would really be no way to avenge this revenge.
Fortunately, the dangerous days finally came to an end, and the gray-clothed army got out of the jungle fortunately.
After a while, a large force followed from behind. After seeing the mountains in the distance, many people fell to their knees and wept with joy. When everyone was driven into the jungle by the pursuers, they didn't come out with much hope. Unexpectedly, they walked out safely in the end, which was too dreamy for them.
After a while, after everyone had recovered their mood, the team set off again. As for the target, it was naturally the mountain range in front of him.
Gradually, the trees gradually thinned out. A winding mountain road appeared in front of everyone.
However, at this moment, Tang En and the three who were currently serving as scouts of the team stopped in their tracks and stood in front of an inconspicuous stone.
This stone was found on the side of the mountain road, and basically no one would care about it at a glance. But if it falls into the eyes of interested people, such as random gray-clothed army scouts, they will see that the placement of this stone is a bit particular, and if they look closely, they will find a few man-made notches on the side.
"This notch means calling for help, right?" After Tang En took over the job of scout, Darren told him some codes of the Gray Army. This kind of mark on the stone is one of the methods commonly used by the Gray Army to transmit secret signals. Various notches represent different meanings. For example, the three lines of X fighting in front of them means that there are friendly troops killed in front, please reinforce quickly.
"Mixiu, go and tell Darren about this." After all, it was the first time he had seen this code, so Tang En decided to ask Darren to confirm it first.
"yes!"
Soon, Darren led the crowd to arrive quickly.
"That's right, this is a distress signal. This notch... Well, it should have looked like not long ago." Darren came over and touched the notch a few times. The information left was quickly identified.
Borg looked into the distance and frowned: "There is only one road in this mountain range, so it's not easy to get out of it. If you get caught here, the team may be... I'm afraid it will be a disaster."
"It doesn't matter, you have to go and have a look to be at ease." Darren's eyes showed firmness, and he said quickly, "Brother Tang, I still need you to find out the situation ahead, and I will lead the team to follow up quickly."
"Okay!" Tang En nodded, "Mixiu will follow me, David, you and the team will move forward together."
Under Tang En's training, Michelle and Darren's talents were gradually developed. Compared with the vigorous David, Mi Xiu's speed is faster.
The two rushed out like arrows leaving the string, heading straight for the mountains in front of them.
The mountain road is rugged and winding, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to walk. However, under the feet of Tang En and the others, it was like walking on flat ground. When Mi Xiu was exercising his speed in the jungle, he always ran around the messy trees, so there was no pressure to stop suddenly and change direction.
Under the rapid sprint of the two, the mountains were soon in sight.
After entering the mountains, both of them climbed to the top of a mountain. Immediately, raise your eyes and look far away, remember the winding mountain road in your heart, and then follow the direction of the straight line to climb over the mountains and mountains.
This kind of continuous uphill and downhill is undoubtedly very exhausting. After a while, Mi Xiu's breathing was already short. Tang En didn't pay attention to it. He knew very well what kind of endurance this subordinate possessed. When he tried to carry the rolling log, he failed when he reached the limit of his body. Now after his personal training, it is naturally better than before.
After the two of them ran wildly for nearly an hour and a half, Tang En suddenly stopped, and immediately grabbed Mi Xiu who couldn't stop his charge. The two held their breaths at the same time, and in an instant, there was a faint sound of weapons clashing.
"Over there!" Dunn rushed to the left again. Mi Xiu took a few breaths and followed suit.
Gradually, the sound of weapons clashing became louder and louder.
Tang En was overjoyed, as long as he was fighting, it meant that he was still alive, and this trip was finally worthwhile.
Finally, after lying down on a hill, the two saw the fierce battle scene.
On one side are spear infantry in armor, the number of which is about 600. On the other side, there are all kinds of weapons mixed together, and there are only more than two hundred people.
It was clear at a glance who the Gray Army was. Now their situation was not good. Not to mention their numbers were at a disadvantage, and the team was firmly locked in. There was basically no possibility of escape. And behind them is a small u-shaped valley, once they are forced into there, it will be the end of being wiped out.
It can be said that if there are no accidents, the battle will end in about an hour.
"Mixiu, tell Darren the current situation and the location here."
"yes!"
