Night shrouded the Dragon Snake Mountains, the easternmost part of the empire.
Wang Zongwei leaned against a big rock and stared motionlessly at the canyon in front of him.
The canyon in front of him was like a flat ground suddenly torn open a big crack, and the jagged eagle's beak rocks on both sides blocked the originally dim light of the sky, because of the low terrain, a lot of black water in the surrounding mountains and forests meandered into small water and flowed into this canyon, and for many years, most of the white shale in the canyon was dyed black, and the bottom of the canyon was full of thick black silt.
This is the Black Land Gorge of Mt.
Yosakita.
The area of Yangjiantian Mountain demarcated by the Yunqin military is the four narrow branch mountains of the Dragon Snake Mountain Range, which are staggered and connected, and the Heidi Canyon is located at the "sheep's horn" of the easternmost mountain, just like a crack in the "sheep's horn".
Wang Zongwei is the sergeant of the three divisions of the Yangjian Tianshan Patrol Army, in the establishment of the Yunqin border army, ordinary sergeants are only divided into three divisions, if Lin Xi does not have an official rank, even if he is a cultivator and has just entered the border army, it is only the identity of a sergeant, the first division is a recruit, and the three sergeants are all experienced elite soldiers who have accumulated a certain amount of military merits, and then they are non-commissioned officers from the tenth grade.
The canyon he was staring at at the moment was impossible for the Yunqin Border Army to march at all, let alone cross it.
Some of the mires inside that seemed to be hard-shelled black soil on the surface could easily swallow up an army of 100 people, but those cave barbarians had a natural instinct for these swamp mires, and they could easily pass through such places without any casualties.
This "sheep's horn" has stretched into the Great Wilderness, the territory of the cave barbarians, and some of the damp air with a unique putrid smell in the Great Wilderness has been able to blow through this Black Land Canyon, plus the serious shortage of manpower of the patrol army since last autumn, in order to ensure that more people in the brigade have enough physical strength, the secret sentry responsible for guarding at night has been reduced from the original sixteen to eight, and at this moment he is the only one staring at this Black Land Canyon area, so he must always maintain absolute vigilance.
Feeling a little tired, he slowly lowered a thick black blade of grass into his mouth and placed it under his tongue.
A tingling bitter taste kept coming out of the black snake orchid grass unique to the Dragon Snake Mountain Range, constantly dispelling his sleepiness.
This is when the gray scorpion is active.
There was a rustling sound between the woodlands around him, and it was obvious that a gray scorpion the size of a poisonous thumb could be seen crawling on its tail, and the tail of the scorpion shone with a faint cold light.
With a bang, something like a dead branch suddenly fell from the tree not far from him, but it quickly swam away.
It was some kind of unknown venomous snake.
Wang Zongwei was unmoved, but always looked at the black canyon vigilantly.
Suddenly, his eyes froze, and there was an unusually burly figure, quietly emerging from the mist that filled the valley floor like a ghost, moving slowly with great agility and caution, and then stopped, gesturing silently behind him.
A chill even surpassed the bitter taste of the black snake orchid grass in his mouth, and it filled his whole body, making every pore of his body feel a slight chill.
Cave Barbarian Just from the fact that he was a head taller than ordinary people and the large area of exposed skin, he could be sure that this was a cave man But the cave barbarians either don't appear, or if they do, they will have dozens to hundreds of people, and when will they be like the Yun Qin army marching, there will be this kind of forward probe guard He has been quite stupid for decades and has never changed his tactics, when did he have such a change Looking at the ghostly figure of the agile and cautious figure that looked extremely burly and heavy, but it seemed completely inconsistent with his cognition, Wang Zongwei suddenly fell into extreme shock.
'I think he's always waiting for us to give him a chance to prove himself.'
Deep in the mountains and forests behind Wang Zongwei, dozens of sergeants rested in the black cortical sleeping sacs hanging from the trees, they were all accustomed to this way of resting, and the daytime march also consumed a lot of their physical strength, and they urgently needed sleep to replenish, so these black-armored soldiers who were still fully armed in the black sleeping sacs had slept very soundly.
Xin Weijiao and Kang Qianjue had just finished discussing tomorrow's march route in a low voice outside this camp, and then they talked about Lin Xi, who was left behind by them in the camp of the patrol army in the middle of Yangjiantian Mountain.
Hearing what Kang Qianjue said, Xin Weijiao sneered: "How can we give him a chance, he is not a recruit who just came over, he is a seventh-rank patrol captain, and he is a cultivator, if he doesn't obey orders a little, we don't have the ability to restrain him at all." ” "I understand what you mean, but he's a cultivator after all."
Kang Qianjue looked at Xin Weijiao and muttered: "We treat him like this these days, he doesn't have any strong reaction, maybe his temperament is not as arrogant and untamed as those cultivators, maybe we should ask him what he means to see if he is willing to treat himself as a sergeant of the First Division, completely obey our command, and learn from adaptation first." ” "You should understand."
After a slight pause, Kang Qianjue looked at Xin Weijiao and sighed: "Even the Yangjian Tianshan Pioneer Camp wants a cultivator, but he hasn't been replenished so far, even if he can't stand it with us and really goes back, I'm afraid we may not be able to have new cultivators to supplement."
And this year, all lines are much sadder than usual. ” Xin Weiyao fell silent for a while.
On the slope outside the Black Land Canyon, Wang Zongwei, who was full of cold all over his body, did not give a warning at the first time, but was still shocked but looked at the burly black shadow as calmly as a rock.
Because any experienced Yun Qin elite soldier would remain calm enough in such a situation, at this distance, he still had a certain amount of time to wait, trying to see how many people there were on the other side and what kind of combat power.
If you rashly warn, you may lose an opportunity to encircle and suppress a small force of the cave barbarians.
The cave man who revealed a strange aura everywhere stuck to one side of the cliff wall, and this position could only be seen by Wang Zongwei, who was facing the mouth of the canyon, and the secret sentry of the patrol army in charge of the mountains and forests on both sides of the canyon could not find his trace at all.
After another five or six steps, the caveman stopped again, and seemed to make a few more gestures to the rear.
One burly black shadow after another pierced through the mist behind him, and also moved forward with extraordinary agility and caution.
There were more and more ghostly black shadows, and in just a moment, the mist behind the cave man seemed to be all filled and dispersed by this overlapping black shadow.
Wang Zongwei's breathing stopped instantly.
Then, with almost all his strength, he blew a wooden whistle on his chest, and made a sharp sound like a night owl, and his whole body jumped out of the ground, and at the fastest speed in his life, penetrated the mountain forest behind, and rushed towards the camp of the patrol army deep in the forest.
This is not a scattered cave man who has nothing to hold on to when he is full of food, and he takes advantage of the night to fight the autumn wind in the Dragon Snake Mountain Range, but a cave barbarian brigade Xin Weijiao was silent for a moment, opened his mouth, and was about to answer Kang Qianjue, but at this moment, a terrible stabbing sound sounded in the mountains and forests Xin Weijiao and Kang Qianjue changed their faces in an instant, and they rushed out towards a hillside in front of them.
The black-armored soldiers in the mountains and forests behind the two of them all woke up at the first time, and most of them directly drew their blades and cut the rope hanging from the sleeping bag, and let themselves fall to the ground below with the falling sleeping bag, so that they could wake up completely in an instant.
There was a large tree on the hillside where Xin Wei Jia and Kang Qianjue had rushed wildly, which was the highest point in the nearby mountains and forests for several miles.
Just as the two of them began to run wildly, the vigorous sky-high tree, which might usually hide a lot of tree snakes, had already sounded a terrible warning sound.
A sergeant climbed and jumped down from the tree as fast as he could, and met the two generals who were rushing wildly, and shouted in a panting voice: "Cave Barbarian Brigade" Xin Weijiao and Kang Qian did not stop at all, and continued to move forward.
Just listening to the voice, they knew that the first warning was Wang Zongwei in front of the Black Land Canyon, and at this moment, Wang Zongwei's warning voice was still ringing, which meant that they still had a certain amount of time to see what kind of opponent it was, so as to give the most correct order.
At the moment when they reached the top of this slope and gasped violently, Xin Weijiao and Kang Qianjue saw their opponents clearly.
"Retreat Stone Tower" Only at this moment, Xin Weijiao's pupils contracted violently, and an earth-shattering order sounded sound.
The voice was so loud that even Xin Weijiao's throat, which had not yet breathed evenly, instantly burst out with some bloody gas.

Wang Zongwei was still running desperately, less than a hundred steps away from the two of them.
An open barren meadow outside the Blackland Canyon had been completely flattened by a group of burly figures running wildly.
At this moment, these burly figures running wildly are completely no longer sneaky before, completely full of extremely strong wildness, even if they look like black shadows in the dark night, but the muscles of their bodies are still as hard and cold as rocks, the whole body is full of explosive power, the ground is trembling under their feet, and the extremely fast running does not seem to consume their physical strength at all, running in the slightly sloping mountain, it is actually faster and faster, and the more powerful it is.
In the black ground canyon behind, there are still figures jumping out.
Just the figure of the cave man in Xin Weijiao and Kang Qianjue's line of sight has exceeded sixty.
Sixty cave barbarians are already equivalent to the establishment of two hundred people in the Yunqin Border Army, and they are already a brigade, which is not at all what they can compete with with the combat strength of this patrol army at the moment All the black-armored soldiers had crawled out of their sleeping bags and drew their blades.
Hearing Xin Weijiao's explosive roar, all these black-armored soldiers did not stop at all, they all shouted in unison, and retreated at full speed towards the mountains and forests behind, only one of the sergeants stopped for a moment, and struck a spark with a sickle-shaped flint, just a spark, which made a fire that had been prepared in front of him burn violently, emitting extremely thick green smoke.
They didn't know exactly what had happened, but from this order, they already knew that the incoming enemy was invincible, and that only by escaping to an abandoned stone watchtower that they found when they came did not even have a military map could they have a chance to live.
Wang Zongwei was running wildly.
Xin Weijiao and Kang Qianjue also desperately turned around and ran wildly.
All these soldiers of the Yangjiantian Mountain Patrol Army retreated extremely resolutely.
At this moment, in the sky, a dark cloud drifted towards the crescent moon, which was originally extremely dim in the Dragon Snake Mountain Range.
