Profound Pure Guard

When did the golden sword monks arrive in the military village? Anyway, Zhang Qian and Gan Lin hadn't noticed it before, and never expected that the Zhuhai Sea Club would act with the most mysterious and legendary monks in the kingdom.

Zhang Qian had two battalions with a total of 2,000 people. One thousand spearmen, five hundred heavy soldiers, three hundred swordsmen and two hundred crossbowmen. Gan Lin's subordinates are similar to Zhang Qian's, except that the sword and shield hand and the crossbow hand are slightly different.

A total of 25 Golden Sword monks who came to work with Zhang Qian were divided into five teams and scattered among the two battalions marching. The leader was a monk from the middle stage of the Yuandan realm, whose surname was Lin, named Lin Yeping, and he was taciturn. Basically, people who are not able to say a word with Zhang Qian.

In the bamboo sea before dawn, everyone had tied the cuffs and necklines of their clothes with ropes in advance, and all the boots with Bangs on the feet were tied tightly with ropes to ensure that no insects would crawl in. All the remaining exposed skin was smeared with a thick dark green ointment.

The smell of the ointment is very bad. Although it doesn't make people nauseous or smokes the eyes, it also has an uncomfortable rancid smell, like a four or five-day old egg that has been rotten.

Ordinary soldiers felt very self-conscious, and while cursing, he honestly applied a thick layer of ointment. It was a bit stinky, but it was a life saver.

Those who have cultivation bases must also be wiped, because it is also a consumption to rely on the invigorating mask to isolate the mosquitoes. Every bit of invigorating in the sea of ​​tens of thousands of miles is likely to save your life, and it will save you. Secondly, it is said that many mosquitoes in the bamboo sea have some traits of fierce beasts. If the strength of the invigorating mask is not enough, they can't stop them at all. The monks with low cultivation level are not much different from ordinary people in the bamboo sea.

Zhang Qian's cultivation base was also in the concentration state, which was not low, but he didn't care whether the ointment smelled or not, so he applied it directly. However, the Golden Sword monks who accompanied them did not get this smelly ointment. But this is not because the Golden Sword monks claim to be able to deal with the mosquitoes in the bamboo sea, but because they have other ointments, which are colorless and tasteless, and they say that the effect is better than Zhang Qian and the others.

No one said anything about this difference in treatment. For the Golden Sword monk, it is normal for others to have some differences, and besides, the bamboo forest will have to rely on the other person to survive.

After entering the bamboo forest, Zhang Qian consciously slowed down the speed of his advancement, and waited for the rain behind, this was what they had discussed before.

"You can't slow down, you must arrive at the first resting point within the scheduled time, and speed up!" It was only an hour before Lin Yeping noticed Zhang Qian's careful thinking, and immediately found Zhang Qian and sternly stopped him.

"Master Lin, the rest point on the map is not far from where we are now. I will discuss with the Gan Lin office behind me and wait for them. It will be safer to keep watch before and after then?" Zhang Qian didn't think about it. The other party, if they coordinate together now, that is the person on the same boat, and basic trust is still required.

"No." Lin Yeping still shook his head, and when Zhang Qian wanted to explain, he interrupted: "The inside of Zhuhai is no better than the official road outside. It can make you want to be slow and fast as fast as you want? The distance to the rest point and the two The interval between camp departures is fixed. If you slow down and wait for the people behind, then there will be a lot of time delay in the places that are not easy to go ahead, and you will not be able to arrive at the rest point at the scheduled time.

What do you think will happen if you miss the rest point in the bamboo sea? "

what happens? Zhang Qian wanted to ask, but finally saw that Lin Yeping's face was already densely covered with frost and he could only suffocate his curiosity. Then sent a message to the Gan Lin behind with a thousand-mile note, and the front and back watch that had been discussed before ended without a problem.

Think about it too. If they were able to watch each other, they wouldn't be so far apart between the two groups of people who entered the bamboo sea. Zhang Qian could only secretly say that he had considered too much for granted before.

Under Lin Yeping's urging, Zhang Qian had to speed up the march to catch up with the previous progress. After half an hour, the outpost that opened the way in the front sent back a message to discover the situation. Zhang Qian immediately went out to check.

Just one mile in front of the brigade, on a small open space less than four feet to the right of the route marked on the map, there were three corpses.

"This is... from the front team?"

Although the corpse died in a miserable state, like a poisoned death, there was no smell of the corpse at all. It was obvious that it had been dead for two days, and it should have been the three soldiers in the two camps in front of Zhang Qian.

"Don't approach the corpse. Pay attention to your feet! If you see it, it is the iron vine needle orchid written in the booklet for you." Lin Yeping also followed, and directly reminded the soldiers who were about to approach the corpse to beware.

The body was poisoned and looked miserable, but there was no obvious trauma on his body. If you look closely, you can see that the soles of these three people are stepping on some small vines like withered grass. These vines grow on the fallen leaves on the ground, with fine thorns, inches long and as hard as iron needles. It is easy to puncture the sole of the shoe. And these iron needles are highly poisonous, and they can kill ordinary people within a few breaths, just like the moment they die.

As soon as Lin Yeping spoke, the soldiers around him who were thinking of going forward and flipping the corpse immediately broke into cold sweat, and the nearest section of the iron vine needle orchid was less than two feet away from their feet.

"This kind of poison not only kills people but also causes the corpses to produce poison, so that the living creatures poisoned by these things can only slowly rot in place and become the nourishment of the iron vine needle orchid, and will not be dragged away by the beasts in the forest. .

This is why the route is marked with a red line on the map and marked on the side of the road. This place is dangerous, and a little carelessness is the scene of death, so be careful~www.wuxiahere.com~ Zhang Qian nodded, and said to the adjutant on the side: "Don’t deal with these corpses, put up a wooden sign to remind people behind to be careful. Iron cane and needle orchid. The others keep on going."

Compared with the people in front of him, Zhang Qian would not keep these corpses to drag down the Gan Lin behind him. He set up a wooden sign, which can be alert but not let the people behind accidentally repeat the same mistakes.

Moving on, the fallen leaves on the road are getting thicker and thicker. Stepping on it is like stepping on a carpet. It is soft, but it makes people very unreliable. Because God knows if something suddenly drills under these fallen leaves to sting you.

When the third one was stung by a bug that suddenly crawled out from under the fallen leaves and died quickly, some people began to help their feet with some bark or wood chips, and stepped on them after probing them with a weapon in their hands.

This kind of poisonous insect hiding in the fallen leaves is difficult to prevent, at least not with the insect repellent ointment on the body alone.

Now that Zhang Qian has seen why Lin Yeping had not allowed him to slow down the marching speed before. Now I am forced to slow down. If I walked slowly before, I would definitely miss the rest point if I count the marching speed on this section of the road. If he spends the night in this environment, Zhang Qian can't stop his feelings.
