Lost Xiaonanzhou Group

Chapter 48
Going west along the broken slope,
After discovering No.13 and fourteen marking points one after another, Yelu Erde finally let go of his previously tense heartstrings, and said in his heart: "Fortunately, so far, there have been no major accidents."

Immediately afterwards, the marked point No. 15 was found, and Han Yuan marked the second westward pointing arrow on it according to the rules with a halberd.

At this time, I could faintly see a flash of light in the northwest direction.

A bolt of lightning pierced through the gray cloud, followed by rumbling thunder.A little red light lit up in the depths of the dark forest heavily stained with ink.

Han Yuan sniffed suddenly, and said in confusion: "Why does it smell like being burned? It stinks. It's not bad, but it's very strange." Despite his doubts, he immediately raised his arms out of caution. shouted loudly:

"Erde, at No.15, the second marking is completed. Also, can you see the red light in the northwest direction just now? It looks like something is burning!"

Brother Cen Hushi also said loudly: "Erde, I saw it too, but now it's gone again."

Yelu Erde, who was in front of him, responded loudly: "Got it!"

Half an hour later, at No. 16, Yelu Erde carefully observed the marked arrows, looked up and looked around, raised his arms and shouted: "Look at the position where I raised my arms, the time is approaching, I'll wait here polymerization."

Han Yuan couldn't help frowning, because according to his timing, it should be Shen Shi at this moment.

Obviously, the time difference between him and Yelv Erde tended to be bigger and bigger.

The four gathered together again, and Yelu Erde said, "We have traveled westward for about a hundred miles, what do you think of this stage?"

Monk Damang first said: "Amitabha, the ground is too soft, and the footwork is weak, and I dare not use my strength with a knife. The monk opened the way in front, it is very hard work, and there are unspeakable sufferings."

Brother Cen Hushi said loudly: "Agreed!"

Han Yuan said loudly: "Agreed!"

Yelu Erde nodded and said: "The situation here is beginning to resemble a swamp. I just carefully observed the marching situation along the way ahead. Not surprisingly, there should be two people traveling together in this line. It can be seen that they moved very carefully. I have seen at least seven traces of the two of them staying and discussing, and there are also signs of turning back halfway. If I am not mistaken about the position, distance, and time, or if the five senses are not too different, we should have arrived at this mark point. The boundary of the eighth west district of Kuyou."

While speaking, Yelu Erde took out his saber and drew a line on the ground, explaining: "I think you all have a clear understanding of the area between the first stage and the dark forest, so I won't say much. On the 12th, enter the dark forest, and go northward from here for about [-] miles, which is the No.[-] mark point, and you will arrive here (Yelü Erde draws a horizontal line). The tentative name here is 'Gutter', which is the first place in the dark forest. The north-south dividing point of the stage. Go further west until you reach the ninth district of Kuyou West, then turn south (Yelü Erde draws a vertical line) until you walk out of the dark forest and reach the ninth day of the ninth day of the ninth day of Kuyou West. This is our two days The marching route. And the range I delineated is the demarcated range of our group’s activities in the first stage of the Dark Forest and the development of various military exploits.”

Han Yuan smiled and said: "It is simple and rude to draw a circle to define the territory. Why do I think this is Yue Chong's drawing?"

Yelu Erde raised his head and said: "Han Yuan, you are really good at it! Yes, it was during our discussion that Yue Chong thought me and the group leader were wasting his training time, and finally drew a line directly. West [-]th, West [-]th, West [-]th, and West [-]th districts were lost. Now it seems that he was right, the resources of the dark forest are too rich, and the team leader also agreed with his simple and crude method at the time, saying that : Circle first and then talk.”

Han Yuan immediately praised: "Yue Chong has done a good job!"

Monk Da Mang also said: "It's good, it's good, Yue Chong has done a good job! The monk is very satisfied."

Yelu Erde hurriedly wiped off his sweat and said, "Because I didn't do my homework beforehand, I was always foolish and bold, and I didn't know that West Eighth and West Ninth are most likely to be swamps, so I have to adjust the order of the four of us in the march. Han Yuan, your body level is the smallest among the four of us, but you are relatively light and agile, this time you will lead the way, Cen Hushi will be your assistant, and Monk Damang and I will come back."

Han Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the body of Monk Damang, and then at Yelu Erde's hands, one big and one small, and two hard handles, and said with a smile: "Erde, what tasks do you have to assign, just tell me , What a detour. Oh, no, now I have opened the way, and the distribution of military merits is different! Erde, you should remember it."

Yelu Erde spat: "Damn it, everyone is really looking for money. Okay, Han Yuan, I will write it down."

Following Han Yuan, Brother Cen Hushi, Monk Damang, and Yelu Erde switched positions in twos.

Out of caution, Han Yuan tightened the three sections of the Zhanger spear in his hand, and after checking all the equipment with him, he went first.

At this time, the topography of the Dark Forest has changed greatly from before.

Now that the trench has reached here, the original slope-shaped dividing line between the north and the south is no longer obvious. Instead, there are puddles of accumulated water on the ground, and there is a wet feeling under the feet.Immediately afterwards, moss mounds began to appear at the roots of tall trees and giant trees on the surface, one after another, which was extremely dangerous in Han Yuan's view.He became more and more careful with his steps. Usually, if he was not sure, he would shoot first, smashing some dead branches of vines and falling on the road ahead with continuous shooting.Therefore, it was unexpectedly slow for Han Yuan to lead the way.

About three miles further on, I couldn't even see the pooled water layer. In my sight, the rolling moss mounds covered more and more land.When a piece of wood the size of a palm that Han Yuan picked up and fell into the soil in the blink of an eye, Han Yuan immediately raised his hand and shouted loudly:
"Stop! Erde, I think we have to take a detour."

Brother Cen Hushi, who was behind him, was already pale with shock.

Just now, Yelu Erde didn't even have time to stop, he was about to lean over to catch a three-inch-high crystal-lit wooden plant, when he took half a step, he was sucked into the sunken muddy moss mound in the vortex.Fortunately, he was quite honest. When he realized that he had collapsed to the waist in an instant, he quickly stood up like a corpse without any struggle. Fortunately, Yelu Erde threw the [-]-foot-long chain hammer in time, and he quickly grabbed it and escaped.

Han Yuan's exploration of the way forward with broken wood is already extremely terrifying.

At the beginning, there were moss mounds of various sizes in the sight. After hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation and precipitation, the area was so huge that it was like a flat land, and it was impossible to distinguish the real from the real with the naked eye.

Wait for everyone to stay where they are according to Han Yuan's instructions.There was lightning and thunder in the distance, like in the dark forest where thick ink cannot be melted away, the red light flickered and became more active, and the strange sweet smell that Han Yuan described as "smelly" but with a certain sweet fragrance in the air became more and more intense. distinct.

Yelu Erde first glared at Brother Cen Hushi, who was covered in mud, and said in a low voice in Khitan language: "Put that thing away in a box first, and then talk about you later." After finishing speaking, he raised his arm and shouted loudly : "Han Yuan, you said how we should go, this time I listen to you."

Han Yuan raised his arms and said in a cold voice: "You must follow me immediately. I sense that there are foreign objects coming here in this swamp. There are a lot of them. I will open the way ahead. Once the foreign objects break through the ground, you must help me defend them. "

When he said that, Han Yuan turned sideways into a T-shaped step, held the gun and "snapped" three times in a row, smashing several horizontal branches in front of him, and fell on the road ahead like a rain of flowers.He counted three breaths silently in his heart, and only set his feet when he saw clearly that the fragments of the horizontal branches had not fallen.But at this moment, the swamp is full of "eat, eat" sounds like a quagmire, and there are many thin lines like "fins", quickly gathering from the west.

Han Yuan checked the position, stepped on the right step, and turned to the southwest with his gun, [-] steps at a time, using the gun to smash wood to explore the way forward.

When he had just walked the second round of thirty steps, he heard the sound of "呲味味味味味" around him, and Yelu Erde who was behind hurriedly shouted:
"Han Yuan, be careful!"

When he was speaking, he was holding the control tool tightly in his hand, and he swung the several-foot-long chain hammering the "urn" in a half circle with unparalleled strength, and a series of dense sounds like rain hitting plantains suddenly came out from the northeast direction , Dozens of foreign objects like pitch-black blades were all thrown flying by the chain hammer.

On the other side, Han Yuan had already been on guard. He first "snapped" a very explosive heavy gun, and pushed a plant with a thick bowl mouth and a height of three feet, and more than half of it was covered with sphagnum moss. Naki Ue, from its hollow rotten place, blasted it into two pieces with one shot.The exploded wood plant fragments ignited like gunfire, and the fin-shaped foreign objects that hit directly fell to the ground with a strange cry.

Han Yuan didn't stop at all, he stepped forward, and was stepping on the thick branch of a tree plant that fell forward. Taking advantage of his body in the air, he swung his spear out of an arc-shaped shield, and flew towards the west for a dozen or so All the foreign objects were smashed into the air.Immediately, between breaths, the left foot stepped into the Xun position, which was a step that had been calculated earlier, and the right foot followed with a step, a little empty, the two feet merged, the spear posture returned to the original position, and a forward blow , was hitting in the front end of a huge fin-shaped foreign object that was ambushing in front of it and broke out of the ground until now.

"Fuck! What's that big guy?"

Even Yelu Erde didn't realize in advance that there was such a big foreign object lying in ambush in the swamp.

I saw that this thing opened its body for a radius of nearly ten feet, and its two sides spread out like the wings of a bat. The edges are all sharp like blades. The middle body has a crack-like mouthpart full of barb-shaped teeth, and there are sixteen pairs around it. It has sharp claws like eagle hooks, and two fierce eyes the size of copper bells grow on the top. One is pierced by Han Yuan, and the other is still staring at itself. The ruler's tail whip came to the Korean original roll.

How could Han Yuan make this foreign object come true? He took a step sideways, held the gun in both hands, and held the gun point to hit the gate of the killing. He performed the "shaving" formula, pressed down, and heard the sound of "stab". Nezha Xiangchong, the eight-armed Nezha, personally forged the supernatural device "magic eye". Tear its flat body like a turtle into two pieces.

When he was on the ground, Han Yuan took advantage of the situation and smashed the foreign object with the tail of his gun, and he broke open half a corpse weighing more than a hundred catties, and shouted loudly:
"I hope Erde will take care of this evidence."

Just as Yelu Erde was stunned, the corpse of the foreign body fell in front of him, still writhing on the ground.What is surprising is that no matter how strong the vitality of this foreign body is, it is also a miracle that its remnant body is not swallowed by the swamp with strong devouring power as it thrashes and struggles to its death on the swamp.

Finally everything fell silent again.

The swamp was dead again.

Han Yuan continued to explore the way ahead.

After crossing this swamp and dangerous shoal, turning to the southwest, and finally set foot on a solid ground, it can be regarded as officially walking on the periphery of the death swamp.

Before long, there seemed to be red and lush flames ahead, one after another, appearing in the dark forest gap.

After walking for another five miles, I saw a silvery white light in the distance, like the bright moon shining on a stream in the world.When I got closer, I found that there was a crescent-shaped lake in a gap in the forest, and there was an intoxicating sweet fragrance in the air, which made people fascinated.

Yelu Erde raised his arms and shouted: "Found a new marker point, gather."

When the four of them got together again, they saw an arrow mark engraved with a westward direction appearing on a thick black fern again.

"This is?" Han Yuan pointed to the north and then to the west, with a strange expression on his face.

Yelu Erde said with a smile: "Han Yuan, your charades are really tiring to guess, let me tell you, if my judgment is correct, the origin of this mark is really wonderful, it was actually tracking the spirit mouse to open the way That group, you say, is it interesting."

Just as Han Yuan, Monk Damang, and Brother Cen Hushi all had surprised expressions on their faces, they heard a long sound of "Wa", and everyone's expressions changed suddenly. When they turned around, they saw the crescent-shaped A series of fireballs flashed across the lake, illuminating the entire lake and the surrounding dark forest.
