Deep in the mountains, in late winter, surrounded by snow-capped peaks, there is a large sea of flowers in the middle.
The sea of flowers covers the entire valley with a radius of ten miles. The valley is surrounded by high mountains, which is actually warmer than outside. There are scattered green grass and trees at the foot of the hillside. But the sea of flowers in the center is still very abrupt.
The ordinary sea of flowers may be colorful, magnificent and gorgeous, but the sea of flowers in the valley is pure white. There is only one kind of flower in the huge sea of flowers, that small, white, translucent white flower like snowflakes.
Looking at each of these white flowers alone, they may not be outstanding or too thin, but tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of them grow together. Under the sunlight, each one seems to be shining, like a sea of stars. , outlining a dreamlike atmosphere.
Tang Zhao stood by the sea of flowers and suddenly understood why Meng Huazhou felt safe when he fled here.
The best hiding place for a tree is, of course, a forest!
All flowers are the same. He is hidden among thousands of white flowers. How to find him?
If there were really living flowers and plants here, it would be simple. Put a fire over and burn him out, but this place is an illusion again. The flowers and plants are all illusory. You can't touch them or catch them. They are invulnerable to water and fire. However, they are so realistic that you can see them close to your eyelids with the naked eye. You can't even tell them apart, so how can you find Meng Huazhou's flower among the thousands of white flowers?
If you really want to sift through them one by one, even if you don't miss them, it will take too much time. As long as you persist until night, Meng Huazhou will win.
When Black Widow and the others saw the sea of flowers, they immediately understood the difficulty. They couldn't help but think about how to catch Meng Huazhou out.
Yue Lai suddenly said: "How about using wind? Use strong wind, the kind of strong wind that can blow the flowers down. Whichever one is blown down is the real one, and the rest of the fake ones will naturally survive."
Black Widow was about to question: If all the flowers fell but one flower did not fall, it would be easier to distinguish it if it stood out from the crowd. If all the flowers did not fall but a certain flower in the middle fell, how could it be seen clearly?
Tang Zhaoxian said: "No, look carefully. Those flowers will move when the wind blows."
At this time, there is a gentle breeze in the canyon, and the sea of flowers is swaying gently in the wind. Yue Lai observed carefully and saw that the flowers were indeed swaying in the wind. The branches and leaves were soft, and even the petals were trembling.
"Hmm..." Yue Lai shook his head and frowned in thought.
Tang Zhao said: "Don't worry, it's not our turn to take action. Someone will solve it."
What he was looking at was the team he had just encountered.
Compared to the team of just a dozen people, there were now hundreds of people gathered in the valley. Although they were in casual clothes, they all wore leather armor and weapons.
According to the military system, this is a standard centurion that can complete some small combat missions. Considering that Huo Chaoqun is a talented person who has learned Gang Qi and stepped into the threshold of Sanren, he is just a newcomer among them. This team is truly an "elite soldier". A team like this is used on ordinary battlefields, and it is ordinary to fight hundreds of enemies. In fact, they will not be used on ordinary battlefields at all, and will only face extraordinary enemies.
For example, completely eradicate a stubborn disease den.
At this time, the team was assembled. At the front was a young man carrying a sword. He was obviously a swordsman and the leading officer captain. He raised his hand slightly to signal everyone to pay attention.
"The first step of the extermination operation is to drive away and kill all the ferocious beasts within the Demon Cave. Divide into three teams, one team drives from southeast to north, and the second team drives from southwest to north. The two teams form an oblique angle and meet in the true north. The third team pulled up the net due north to intercept it."
The army pays attention to orderliness and appropriate tactics when doing things. The team had already laid out their tactics, and it was just a matter of stating them again at this time. Everyone agreed loudly and dispersed in formation.
After the leader gave the order, he said: "Xiao Huo, you ride my horse."
Xiao Huo was naturally Huo Chaoqun. He had just arrived on foot. He was shorter in the team and said hurriedly: "Captain, how can I ride your horse..."
The leader smiled and said, "If you don't want to ride a horse, why don't you stay and command for me?"
Huo Chaoqun said awkwardly: "That's not what I meant..."
The leader suddenly laughed and said: "It's not impossible. In your information, the examiner specifically noted that: excellent commanding ability, a sense of the overall situation, and a general's talent. Generals have to command thousands of troops, why can't they do such a small task? competent?"
Huo Chaoqun got a little anxious and said, "That's a metaphor for advocating love. How can I, a humble recruit, command..."
The captain probably had a careless temper. He refused to press the idea when it came to his mind. He smiled and said: "So I didn't let you command thousands of troops at once. Isn't it a good time to practice the small task of the hundred-man team today? Give me the order. ——”
When these three words came together, Huo Chaoqun could only stand at attention with his hands crossed along with the others, and said: "My subordinates are here."
The captain handed his command flag to Huo Chaoqun and said: "Huo Chaoqun, you come on stage and wave the flag. Everyone, watch the command flag and obey the orders."
Once this order, which was joking at its core but serious on the outside, was given, it was immediately implemented to the letter. There was a simple high platform in their team, a suspended platform similar to scaffolding. At this time, it was placed on the ground and a six-foot-high platform was erected. Huo Chaoqun took the command flag and quickly climbed onto the general platform.
Before he went on stage, he was naturally nervous and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. But once he got on stage and looked into the distance, he actually calmed down.
Just as Tang Zhao specifically noted on his test results, he was born with the talent of a general and had the experience of fighting with only a hundred people of his own generation. After taking the stage, he was condescending and his vision suddenly opened up. He was no longer nervous and calmly raised his hands. First wave the flag to call everyone back to the team.
The captain smiled and said: "Okay, it works. It seems that there is no problem." Bendang set an example first and acted according to his signal. Although the other sergeants found it strange, they knew that their captain was a weirdo and were used to obeying military orders, so they followed the orders.
Huo Chaoqun memorized the terrain in his mind, deduced it a little, and raised the flag to arrange for everyone to advance in batches. He moved the team into two diagonal directions, and attacked in two and two directions to ensure that the vicious forces were driven out. The beast will not crash into the net all at once, causing defensive pressure.
The captain was very satisfied when he saw that he was in good condition. He no longer had any scruples and rode his horse into the flowers with the soldiers to drive away the ferocious beasts.
When a hundred or so people entered the Demon Cave, they heard the noise of people and horses. After a while, the large sea of flowers turned into waves, and ferocious beasts of all sizes were driven out.
The big ones include sporadic gray wolves, wild boar mutant beasts, and more snakes, insects, rats, ants, earthworm snails and the like that are enlarged a hundred times.
Those ferocious beasts had no brains and ran wherever they were driven, mostly heading towards the north. At this time, a net of swords and guns had been set up in the north to hunt down ferocious beasts. Anyone who ran into them would be dead or alive. The few pigs that didn't crash into the net rushed like wolves, and there were already soldiers with swords at their side to cut them off. But seeing the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword, black energy filled the air. The weapons here were sharp, the soldiers were capable, and the formation was stable. They naturally killed one by one without making any mistakes.
Tang Zhao was a little amazed as he watched from the side. For one thing, he didn't expect that there were so many ferocious beasts hiding in the sea of flowers that seemed to be only half a man tall. In the end, it was a devil's cave, a place where the evil energy was accumulated, and all the ants passing by were forced to grow. giant.
Again, he admired the army's smoothness in killing ferocious beasts, which was as smooth as combing hair. Just watching from the side gave him a "shuishish" pleasure. I am somewhat ashamed to say that most of the time the inspection department, which specializes in dealing with ferocious beasts, is not this efficient.
He watched happily for a while, and then thought: Seeing how skilled they are, hunting ferocious beasts in this magic cave must have become a regular program, and maybe they are using this place as a training ground. It is far away from human habitation and has flat terrain, which is indeed suitable for military training. But why is it suddenly necessary to eradicate the Demon Cave completely now?
Does it have anything to do with the recent major events in Yunzhou?
Because we have to concentrate on doing big things, so we don’t leave any hidden dangers?
With this in mind, he turned back to look at Huo Chaoqun. He was very pleased that half a student could perform like this, and suddenly his brows jumped.
A wisp of blue smoke had wrapped around the handsome stage at some point.
It was a familiar swordsmanship.
It's Shangguan Swordsman who has arrived.
Tang Zhao's heart tightened, and he looked around, but did not see Shangguan Swordsman's figure. It seemed that even if he arrived, he would hide first. Probably the swordsman himself couldn't tell where Meng Huazhou was hiding in the illusion, so he waited for the sergeant to sweep the illusion first, or even completely destroy it, before he came out to pick up the leaks.
But then he would have to face two enemies, Meng Huazhou and the army at the same time. I guess the Shangguan swordsman felt that there were no real masters in the army. There was only one captain who was a swordsman, and the rest were mortals. Given the difference in level, no matter how many people there were, they would not pose a threat, so he didn't take it seriously.
Tang Zhao wanted to tell him: Don't underestimate the human army. There are so many frontline swordsmen, but a certain size of ordinary army must still be maintained, just because they are really useful. At least with the addition of good location, formations and magic weapons, there is much to be done against the lone demons and swordsmen. Not to mention those war weapons that rely on their great power advantage.
In contrast, Tang Zhao was a little worried about Huo Chaoqun. The other sergeants were all in formation and safe. Now he was the only one outside the team. He did not have a powerful magic weapon around him, but Shangguan Swordsman had already entangled him. The handsome platform under his feet will bear the brunt of any attack and must be protected.
The step of expelling the ferocious beasts went smoothly, but there were a lot of ferocious beasts, and they were eradicated one after another for more than an hour. The sun moved a little further to the west.
How calm you can be.
There was a lot of noise in the army's purge, and neither Shangguan Swordsman nor Meng Huazhou showed any signs of it. Meng Huazhou may not dare to take the lead, and the longer time delays, the better for him, but Shangguan Swordsman is really calm.
Tang Zhao glanced at the silk thread in his hand. When the army entered the flowers, the silk thread moved, but did not move. It could be seen that Meng Huazhou was not under great threat, so he stayed in place. Just killing the ferocious beasts could not change his situation.
I wonder how the army will completely eradicate the Demon Cave next? Can Meng Huazhou still sit firmly on Diaoyutai?
"Okay, now for the second step. Completely destroy this wind-shaped devil prison. Everyone withdraw from the flowers and step back ten feet!"
The soldiers retreated together, but one man opened the package of a space magic weapon and took out a cylinder as tall as a person.
Tang Zhao silently said "Oh", but he didn't expect it to be his old friend, the sword light cannon.
