Meng Yin left without looking back.

The group returned to the original place. Mengyin directly cut down a big tree, and then he and his men moved the tree to the other side of the river.

The big tree is round and will shake when you step on it.

Mengyin asked some people to support him from behind while the others crossed the river first.

Although the process was thrilling, fortunately there were no casualties, and Mengyin continued to move forward with his men.

They didn't encounter any ferocious beasts along the way. When they explored deep into the mountains, Mengyin discovered something unusual.

"Come here and move these vines!"

Meng Yin ordered.

The men immediately stepped forward and pushed the vines aside, and a dark cave appeared before their eyes.

Because the light was too dim and it was already late, it was impossible to see clearly what was going on inside the cave from the outside.

Mengyin lit a fire stick and planned to go in and find out what was going on.

However, before he could step in, he felt an invisible force blocking him.

"Why can't I get in?" Meng Yin looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask.

"Come over here and try to see if you can get in."

Following Meng Yin's order, the people behind him were eager to try.

However, when they tried to move forward, they were blocked by an invisible barrier and could not take even a single step into the cave.

Several people tried again and again outside the cave entrance, but the result was the same: they could not enter the cave.

But there was nothing in front of them, without any obstruction, so they just couldn't take that step.

"General Meng, I think this cave has some evil spirits. I need to report it to the king immediately to avoid any more trouble."

One of his men reminded with concern.

Meng Yin thought about it again and again, and originally he wanted to solve the matter alone.

But after thinking it over carefully, I decided to contact Yang Xia.

"Can't you enter the cave you found?"

Yang Xia was lying on a recliner, and was filled with confusion when he heard the strange situation they described.

"Yes, my king, we have tried many ways, but we just can't get in."

Mengyin felt a little embarrassed that he couldn't even handle such a small matter.

Yang Xia opened the APP and was about to check it out when a piece of text appeared on the screen.

To enter this cave, the king must come in person.

That being the case, I have to go there myself.

Yang Xia sighed helplessly and replied to Meng Yin Dao: "Stay still for now, I'll be there in a moment."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

After Mengyin received a positive answer, he finally felt relieved.

They camped there and waited quietly for the king to come.

There is no danger on their side, but Meng Yu is in trouble.

As soon as Meng Yu and the imperial guards stepped into the outskirts of the island, they were surrounded by a group of wild wolves.

These wild wolves were extremely powerful. They all bared their teeth and had green light flashing in their eyes. It was obvious that they regarded them as delicacies.

"Everyone follow my command. Stand back to back and form a circle. Don't let these wild wolves get close to you."

Meng Yu swallowed and looked around carefully.

There were mountains behind them and the wolves could not approach from there, so they had to unite as one.

"General Meng Yu, there are probably thirty or forty wild wolves. I'm afraid their fangs may carry bacteria or viruses, but otherwise there's nothing to worry about."

Gu Xiaowu, a capable subordinate of Meng Yu, said.

He was the best at observing the situation, and as soon as the wild wolves appeared, he had already counted their number.

"Even so, we can't let our guard down. Everyone, stay alert. In this deep forest, if you get bitten, you're very likely to get infected with bacteria."

Meng Yu looked around vigilantly to prevent sudden attacks from wild wolves.

There were a lot of them, and they were armed.

These wolves must have been extremely hungry, which was why they were so desperate to eat anything and surrounded them.

The war is about to start.

"Listen to my order and kill!"

At Meng Yu's command, the people behind him immediately took action and fought with the wild wolves.

In the battle, they clearly had the upper hand, but these wild wolves also had combat experience and were very united.

When killing a snake, you must hit it at its most vulnerable part; when catching a thief, catch the leader first.

Meng Yu saw a white wolf on the hillside, howling from time to time.

This white wolf is probably the wolf king, and it is commanding the wolf pack to attack them.

"Gu Xiaowu, the white wolf king on the hillside on the left, as long as we get rid of it, these wolves will naturally retreat."

Meng Yu chopped down with his knife, and a wolf fell to the ground.

Warm blood spurted out and splashed onto his face, with a faint smell of blood, which was disgusting.

"understand!"

Gu Xiaowu turned around and saw his face was covered in blood, but the blood was all from the wolf.

He rushed towards the hillside with a few people behind him, and the Wolf King seemed to have noticed it.

"Ouch!"

There was another shrill howl, and a small number of the wolves that were fighting around automatically withdrew and attacked Gu Xiaowu and the others.

Gu Xiaowu was only focused on killing the wolf king as quickly as possible and didn't notice the wolves approaching quietly from behind.

He raised his sword and chopped at the wolf king's head.

At this moment, a gray wolf suddenly jumped out and bit his right hand. The wolf's bite force was very strong. If the person next to him had not reacted quickly and killed the wolf, he would have been bitten off a piece of meat.

"Thank you."

Gu Xiaowu covered his right hand which was bleeding profusely and said thank you.

"Brother Xiaowu, leave the Wolf King to us."

Seeing that his hand was injured, the others couldn't bear to let him continue fighting.

Gu Xiaowu is a stubborn person, and General Meng Yu trusts him so much, so he doesn't want to disappoint the general.

He smiled heartily, then tore off a piece of cloth from his body, bandaged his injured hand simply, and tied a knot. "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

After that, he quickly joined the battle. With his persistence and hard work, the wolf king finally died under his sword.

"Well done. You are worthy of being promoted by me." Meng Yu patted Gu Xiaowu's shoulder gently, his eyes full of admiration.

Gu Xiaowu acted decisively and never dragged his feet. If it weren't for his assistance, the wolves wouldn't have been repelled so quickly.

"This is all my job." Gu Xiaowu did not take credit for it, but responded very humbly.

Meng Yu became more and more impressed by his humble attitude.

"There is a river nearby. Let's go wash off the bloody smell on our bodies to avoid attracting other wild animals." Meng Yu looked down at the blood on his body. It was getting dark. If the bloody smell attracted other wild animals, they would be in big trouble.

So he led everyone to the river and carefully washed the blood off their bodies.

The dry food they brought this time was also stained with wolf blood during the fight. The dry food was not abundant to begin with, and after being stained with wolf blood, it was even more inedible.

While Meng Yu was cleaning, he saw the fish swimming in the river and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

"Find a few uninjured people, go down to the river and catch some fish, and improve the food for everyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, several young people stood up excitedly.

They quickly took off their coats and jumped into the river without hesitation.

Not long after, several fat fish were thrown onto the shore, and after flapping their wings a few times, they became quiet.

They built a fire to keep warm and to drive away the restless beasts at night.

With the fire, at least they could feel a little more at ease in this place.

Meng Yu found some thick branches, sharpened them with a knife, pierced the caught fish on the branches, and roasted them over the fire.

Although the grilled fish cooking skills are not very good, the gifts from nature are always exceptionally delicious.

After everyone finished eating the grilled fish, they set up tents nearby.

They were not familiar with the island, and it was too risky to travel at night, so they had no choice but to camp here.

Meng Yu reported the situation here to Yang Xia.

"Do you need reinforcements?" Yang Xia couldn't help but ask.

He couldn't get away here, after all, he had to go to another cave first.

"There are no casualties at the moment, and no reinforcements are needed." Meng Yu said, choosing his words carefully.

Knowing that everything was fine over there, Yang Xia finally felt relieved.

He repeatedly reminded them to be careful and not to be careless.

"I understand." Meng Yu replied.

The sky had completely darkened, leaving only the rustling of leaves in the wind and the chirping of insects and birds.

After a fierce battle in the evening, everyone was exhausted. After setting up the tent, everyone fell asleep.

However, Meng Yu always felt depressed, as if something bad was about to happen.

So he sat outside to guard the fire, firstly to prevent it from going out, and secondly to prevent wild animals from invading.

He sat there quietly, his back straight, like a sturdy pine or cypress.

After an unknown amount of time, a light drizzle began to fall outside. He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but as the rain got heavier, he couldn't help but frown.

The irritability in my heart became more and more intense with the rain, and I urgently needed an outlet to vent.

It had been raining heavily for two hours, and the water level in the river had risen a lot. The place where they pitched their tent was very close to the river, and if the rain continued like this, they might not be able to stay here.

Gu Xiaowu yawned and came out of the tent.

He was somewhat surprised to see the General still sitting outside.

"I'll guard the second half of the night, you go and have a rest." Gu Xiaowu was deeply moved. The general always put their safety first, silently contributing, and never complaining about the hardship or tiredness.

"It's okay, you go to sleep. I'm so nervous that I can't sleep at all." Meng Yu himself didn't know why he was so nervous.

"This rain is making me uneasy, and the river is about to overflow. Go and notify everyone, and let's go to another place to take shelter from the rain!" Meng Yu thought it over again and again and made this decision.

The river was close to where they camped, and it had been raining heavily for most of the night.

It's always safer to go to higher ground than to stay here.

Gu Xiaowu didn't ask any more questions. He went straight to wake everyone up and asked them to pack up and get ready to leave.

During this process, everyone remained silent and there were no complaints.

As soldiers, obeying orders is their duty.

When everyone was ready to go, they suddenly felt the ground shaking slightly.

Meng Yu subconsciously looked back and saw something rushing towards him rapidly.

"Oh no! It's a mudslide. Everyone, run to higher places!" Meng Yu turned around and ran without hesitation, and the people behind him followed closely.

"Throw away all the unnecessary things on your body!" Meng Yu shouted loudly to the people behind him.

In this critical moment, saving your life is the most important thing. As for those things outside your body, anything that is not important must be thrown away.

Only if you save your life, everything is possible.

The imperial guards heard his orders and threw down their weapons and armor.

Gu Xiaowu was running desperately, but suddenly his foot slipped and he fell heavily to the ground. At that moment, he felt his head buzzing and even had a thought in his mind: Is my life going to come to an abrupt end like this?
Just when he was filled with despair and felt as if he had fallen into an endless abyss, a pair of strong and powerful hands suddenly grabbed him and pulled him back from the brink of death.

Meng Yu never gives up any of his subordinates.

The debris flow at this time was like an angry dragon, rampaging through the mountains and fields. Those big trees that had withstood a hundred years of wind and rain were uprooted and swept away in an instant like fragile garbage under the impact of the debris flow.

Even a century-old tree could be so vulnerable, let alone mortals with flesh and blood like them. If they were accidentally caught in a mudslide, they would almost certainly die.

Meng Yu looked determined and quickly began to search for a way out. If they continued to run blindly like this, they would be wiped out sooner or later.

Soon, he found a path. Although it was a rough and difficult path, it was the fastest way to reach the highlands.

He led the group behind him and desperately climbed up. Everyone's fingers were worn and bleeding, but they had no time to care about the pain, because at this moment, the desire to survive overwhelmed everything.

After arduous efforts, they finally succeeded in reaching the high ground at the moment when the mudslide was roaring down like a beast.

Standing on the high ground, they watched the big trees being broken in half and the rocks rolling like foam in the mudslide.

"Thanks to General Meng Yu for finding this place, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Damn it! Who would have thought that there would be a mudslide in this place? When I came here in the morning, the forest was still lush and green. There was no sign of a mudslide at all."

There was a person in the team who was quite familiar with the geographical environment. He never dreamed that a mudslide would occur here.

Generally speaking, debris flows are mostly caused by landslides caused by heavy rain. The main cause of landslides is that the vegetation on the hillside is sparse, with only loose soil. Under the continuous erosion of heavy rain, debris flows are easily formed. Such a horrible debris flow should not occur in a place with dense forests like this.

Meng Yu was now slumped on the ground, feeling that all the strength in his body had been drained. But seeing that everyone around him was safe and sound, he was filled with relief, thinking that as long as he could protect everyone from harm, he would be satisfied.

"Nothing in this world is absolute. I felt something was wrong with the heavy rain today. Fortunately, we packed up and left in advance, otherwise..." Meng Yu didn't say the second half of the sentence, but everyone present understood. (End of this chapter)
