Too many female prisoners, a special forces soldier transmigrates and marries wildly.

The group traveled southwest for another two days.

Adu finally regained some of his senses, but he still turned pale when the "Devil City" was mentioned.

"General...are you really going?" Adu's voice trembled as his withered fingers pointed to a blurry, distorted shadow on the western horizon.

"That place...is not a place for humans!"

Lin Feng looked in the direction he pointed.

Under the dim yellow sky, on the distant horizon, stood a huge and strange shadow. It was not like a mountain, but more like the remains of countless giant beasts or the collapsed palace of giants, twisting and swaying in the rising heat, exuding an ominous aura.

That's the Devil City.

"Adu," Lin Feng said calmly.

"The sand fox's lair might be inside. You just need to tell us which way is relatively safe and how to avoid getting lost once inside."

"The Devil City... is too big; no one can know the whole way. Never go deep into those rocky forests! You'll get completely lost and won't be able to get out for three days! Also... watch your step; some places look like solid ground, but one step can turn into a quicksand pit. If you fall in, you'll be gone in a few breaths!"

"Alright, let's go now," Lin Feng ordered.

"Yes, sir!"

The team set off again, heading towards that ominous shadow.

The closer you get, the more you can feel the overwhelming, desolate, and oppressive atmosphere.

The wind here becomes eerie, passing through the bizarrely shaped wind-eroded rock pillars, arches, and caves, making all sorts of strange sounds, from sharp and piercing to low and mournful.

After walking for about an hour, a huge rock wall appeared ahead, eroded by the wind into a honeycomb shape. At the bottom was a dark, not very wide, crack entrance, like the throat of a giant beast.

The wind rushed in, making a piercing "whoosh" sound, which was particularly eerie.

"General, this is the entrance." Adu pointed to the crack, his face pale. "Go through it, and you'll find it inside."

"Prepare for battle," Lin Feng ordered.

"clear!"

Lei Bao gathered fifty of his strongest swordsmen and shieldmen, each holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other. With a low growl, he was the first to plunge into the dark crevice.

Lin Feng followed closely behind with twenty personal guards.

The crevice was very narrow, only wide enough for two horses to walk side by side. The light was dim, and the wind howled sharply in our ears, making our eardrums ache.

Before they had gone a hundred steps, several sharp whistling sounds suddenly came from ahead!

"Ambush! Raise your shields!" Lei Bao roared.

Almost simultaneously, arrows rained down from the shadows above the rock walls on both sides! They struck the shields with a clang, sparks flying everywhere.

"At the top! Kill them!" Lei Bao's eyes turned red, and he charged upwards with his shield raised.

"Stop making a rash move!" Lin Feng shouted sharply. "Form a shield formation! Advance slowly! Yan Qing!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the sound of bowstrings vibrating and short screams came from above! It was Yan Qing's men who had suppressed the sand fox archers lying in ambush from a higher position.

"Charge!" Lin Feng seized the opportunity and pointed his long sword forward.

Lei Bao roared and led his swordsmen and shieldmen in a fierce charge.

The crack ahead widens slightly, forming a gourd-shaped narrow passage.

At the pass, dozens of fierce bandits from the Sand Fox tribe, armed with curved knives and spears, rushed forward with strange cries, attempting to block their way out.

"Well done!" Lei Bao, who was holding back his anger, saw this and instead of retreating, he advanced. He swung his double hammers and charged into the enemy formation like a mad tiger entering a flock of sheep!

The wrought iron oil-pressing hammer was invincible, truly killing anyone who touched it and injuring anyone who grazed it, instantly tearing a gap in the Sand Fox's lines.

Lin Feng led his personal guards through the gap, their blades flashing as they engaged in a fierce battle with the Sand Fox bandits.

The pass was narrow, and although the Sand Foxes were numerous, they could not maneuver effectively. Instead, they were squeezed out by the elite Shuofeng Army in formation, and were soon almost wiped out.

The group continued forward for nearly fifteen minutes before finally emerging from the crevice. Suddenly, the view opened up before them, revealing that they were already in the "heartland" of the Devil City.

This is a much larger and more bizarre world.

Countless wind-eroded rock pillars, mushroom rocks, and castle-shaped rock formations, each tens of meters high and in various shapes, stand tall, casting large, eerie shadows under the blazing sun.

The gale howled and whistled through the stone forest, making all sorts of indescribable and terrifying sounds, as if countless demons were roaring in one's ears.

Led by Adu, the group walked for about twenty miles before a huge, dark-colored rocky beach came into view.

When they saw the wide ravine in the center of the rocky beach, which looked like a scar on the earth, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but was then stunned by the depth of the ravine and the dark red quicksand flowing quietly at its bottom.

"This is it..." Adu said.

Lin Feng walked to the edge of the ravine and looked down. It was bottomless. His sharp gaze swept across the opposite rock face. The midday sun shone directly, making the rock's texture clearly visible.

"Yan Qing, look at the opposite bank. Go down about ten zhang (approximately 33 meters). Is the color of the rock face different? Are there any regular indentations?"

Yan Qing squinted and examined it closely. After a moment, a glint of light flashed in his eyes: "Yes! A perfectly square indentation with chisel marks on the edges! Like a sealed-off hole!"

"As expected." Lin Feng's lips curled into a cold smile. "When the ancients dug underground channels to divert water, wouldn't the outlets have been completely uncovered? They must have been blocked later by quicksand or by human intervention. Ropes!"

The rope was quickly tied. Lin Feng secured one end tightly around his waist and tested its strength. "I'll go take a look."

"General, be careful!"

Lin Feng took a few steps back, ran, and leaped towards the opposite bank! The rope taut instantly. His body moved like an eagle, gliding across the fifteen-zhang-wide ravine, precisely swooping down on the opposite rock face, his ten fingers like hooks, digging fiercely into the edge of the depression!

"Gotcha!"

A murmur rippled across the river.

Lin Feng steadied himself, found a foothold, and quickly untied the rope around his waist, binding it tightly to a thick stalagmite beside the cave entrance. Then, he drew his short knife and began to pry away the rubble blocking the cave entrance.

The rubble was looser than expected. Soon, an opening large enough for a person to bend down and pass through was cleared. A cold wind, carrying the smell of earth and stale moisture, wafted from the dark depths.

Lin Feng lit a torch and shone it into the cave. The man-made passageway stretched downwards.

"The tunnel is open! There's wind, it's alive!" he shouted to the other side.

Soon, with the help of ropes, Yan Qing, Lei Bao, Han Tao, and other key members swung across first.

The soldiers climbed over one by one, and the seriously wounded were carefully hoisted over using ropes and leather bags.

In less than an hour, everyone safely reached the platform on the other side.

"Go into the cave!" Lin Feng was the first to bend down and crawl into the tunnel.

The passageway was cool and shady, like two different worlds from the sweltering heat outside.

The air was circulating and felt damp. After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the sound of water could be faintly heard ahead.

After turning a corner, a bright and spacious view suddenly appeared before me!

A natural grotto with a pool of water the size of a washbasin in the center, crystal clear. Water droplets drip from the rock ceiling, making a tinkling sound. The pool is almost overflowing.

"Water! It's really water!" Lei Bao was overjoyed and was about to pounce on it.

"Wait a minute."

Lin Feng stopped him, walked to the edge of the pool, carefully examined the water, smelled it, then scooped up a handful and tasted it. It was clear, sweet, and had no strange smell.

"It's running water, it's drinkable. Han Tao, arrange for people to take turns fetching water, give it to the seriously wounded first, limit the amount for each person, and don't drink too quickly. Fill all the water bags and leather sacks."

"yes!"
