At the foot of Qingmu Mountain, Wu Gen glanced at the continuous camps with a gloomy expression, feeling a little heavy. Most of these camps were built at the entrance of mountain roads, with wooden fences as walls. They did not have the common deer villages and trenches in the camps, but instead built densely packed towers and high platforms.
These towers are often equipped with powerful crossbows, throwing nets, etc. This arrangement should be designed to prevent the feathered men from attacking from the air.
This time, Wu Gen did not bring all the people with him when he went up the mountain. He only brought Shui Congyue, Baoxiang, Liu You, Qihe and Feng'er, while the rest were waiting in hiding at the foot of the mountain.
Going up the mountain to seize the treasure is not about having more people, the better. The most important thing is to win quickly. In addition to Shui Congyue, Qihe and Baoxiang, who have stronger combat abilities, Liu You and Feng'er, in addition to having higher cultivation levels, can also fly through the air. If someone is injured, they can quickly take them away.
Yes, Liu You also has a flying magic weapon, which is a sun-shaped wheel, which is the same set as the moon-shaped wheel of Ninglian Tea. However, since using the magic weapon requires consuming adverse energy, it is rarely used on weekdays.
The orc prisoner named Dao Hei was sitting quietly and obediently, his expression a little dull. Under the spell of Mu's soul technique, Dao Hei had completely obeyed Wu Gen's orders. He was just waiting for the battle between the feathered men and the orcs to begin and when the attention of the orcs in front of the mountain was attracted, he was ready to break into the orc camp.
The six of them hid quietly in the grass, silently building up their strength.
Wu Gen held a grass stem in his mouth and glanced behind him through the grass. According to the information provided by Zhu Yu, Yu Ren should be about to launch a surprise attack.
Finally, the sound of killing was heard in the distance, and black spots could be vaguely seen in the sky, which should be the Yuren launching an attack.
Baoxiang showed an excited look on his face and whispered: "The fight is starting, can we move forward?"
Wu Gen looked at the restless camp, then turned to Dao Hui and asked, "Are you really working in the camp opposite?"
Dao Hui glanced at Wu Gen in confusion, "Master, I am indeed in charge of the camp here. Since I didn't do much in guarding the mountain, I took people out to hunt privately, and ended up capturing Yu Ren's fifth prince by the river. "
Wu Gen nodded, "I have written down my words about joining the camp later."
"Remember, the master is a human slave I captured. As for the other soldiers who went out together, they were left behind by the army to fight against the enemy because of the Yuren sneak attack. I came back from this trip to bring the remaining people to support." Daohe replied word for word.
There was a commotion in the camp at the foot of the mountain. The orcs lined up in the camp noisily, driving groups of beasts as death squads. Teams roared and ran towards the distant battlefield.
Soon, it became quiet at the foot of the mountain. Although a certain amount of troops were left in the camp, the number of people was much sparser compared to just now.
"Let's go." Wu Gen and others pushed a wooden cart with some scattered prey and wood on it. Under the leadership of Daohei, they walked towards the camp in front of them.
"Stop, what are you doing?" When they reached the front of the camp, a guarding soldier shouted loudly, and the sound of a crossbow being cocked came from the camp.
"Are you blind? It's me." Daohei replied in a muffled voice, but his feet kept moving. Wu Gen and others were pulling a wooden cart behind him. They were all dressed in rags. Even Feng'er had changed into a tattered outfit and had mud smeared on her face.
"It's Mr. Baihu. Didn't you go out to capture the feathered scouts? Why did you come back alone? Where are the other brothers?" The people in the camp were obviously relieved, but they still remained vigilant.
"The Yumen made a surprise attack. They went to support the army. Open the door quickly. We are also going to support." Dao Hui said in a bad tone, pointing at the figure hiding behind the camp door.
"Okay." The gate of the camp opened, and several orcs asked to get out of the way. They didn't even dare to ask about the origins of Wu Gen and others.
"These people are the slaves I captured. I placed them near the foot of the mountain to prevent them from escaping." Daohei ordered carelessly, throwing the knife in his hand to an orc who was following him. After thinking about it, he turned around and said : "They are my private property. You are not allowed to bully them. If they lose a hair, I will chop off your paws."
"Don't worry, as long as they don't run away, everything will be fine." The orc said with a smile. Beastmen are allowed to keep slaves, just like cattle and sheep, and they are also part of the owner's property.
one. Since Baihu said it was his private property, other people really couldn't handle it.
Wu Gen finally felt relieved. So far, Daohei has not missed anything. This method of confusing people's minds does not destroy the other person's sanity, it just gives him more messy memories, and the person still has a certain degree of autonomy.
In this way, Wu Gen and others were placed in the innermost part of the camp, which was close to the Cyanwood Mountain. Daohei naturally gathered most of the people in the camp and hurried towards the battlefield. Seeing the more than 300 people leaving in a hurry, Wu Gen couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. Fortunately, he came back with swords and hyenas, otherwise how could he have stormed the camp.
The camp gradually became quiet, and Wu Gen walked out of the dilapidated house where a few people lived and inquired about the surroundings. This camp is very thick. From the gate to Wu Gen's current position, there is a defense line composed of ten watchtowers. This shows that the orc attaches great importance to Cyanwood Mountain. Looking up the mountain, there are arrow towers and watchtowers in every flat place on the mountain road. With such a dense arrangement, if the Yuren attacked from the air, they would probably suffer numerous casualties.
Looking at the top of the mountain towering into the sky, Wu Gen secretly rejoiced. If Zhu Yu hadn't pointed out a path, it would have been almost impossible to climb up.
At night, except for the occasional patrolling soldiers, everything in the camp was quiet.
Wu Gen poked his head out first, looked around, waved back, and Shui Congyue and others followed quietly. Under the cover of night, a group of people hurried to the foot of the mountain.
According to the map given by Zhu Yu, the path is located on the dark side of Qingmu Mountain, in a valley. This path is the path used by monkeys and the like to climb on the cliff. It is quite steep. In some places, it can only be passed by climbing on the mountain vegetation. .
The Feathermen mostly attack from the air, and this path is difficult for large armies to use, so the Orcs don't place many guards here. Along the way, you will occasionally encounter orcs holding torches patrolling in front of the mountain. Fortunately, Liu You was there to spy and warn in time, and the group finally reached the ravine without any danger.
As soon as we entered the ravine, a sense of coolness hit us, and there were scattered rugged rocks everywhere.
Without waiting for a rest, a group of six people skirted the forest of rocks and walked forward in the dark, one foot deep and one foot shallow. While walking, an orc suddenly appeared from behind a stone pillar in front of him.
The orc was startled, "Who are you?" As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Gen, Shui Congyue and Liu You rushed up at the same time. Their swords and halberds pierced the unlucky orc's body at the same time. The unlucky orc didn't even grunt. He fell to the ground and died.
Wu Gen wiped the cold sweat off his head and whispered, "Liu You, check the surroundings again. After the others took care of the man's body, they lined up along the bottom of the valley. If they found orc guards, they would Killed instantly."
Soon, everyone hid the killed orc guards and moved forward cautiously. After killing two more orcs, he found the entrance to the path under a dense vine.
The entrance is a narrow cave. No wonder it is so difficult to find. It turns out that it is covered by vines.
It was pitch dark in the cave, and you couldn't see your fingers. All kinds of sharp rocks were densely covered around the cave wall. Fortunately, several people were close to them. After knocking on several big bags, they finally walked out of the cave entrance safely.
Walking on the mountain road, Wu Gen finally understood why the orcs were so lax in their defense. This path is extremely difficult to walk, and is not wide enough. There are slippery moss and sticky bird droppings on the road. If you are not careful, you will slip into the abyss.
Sometimes the mountain road ends, and you can only swing by the long vines hanging down from the cliff. From time to time, antelopes and monkeys sleeping on the mountain wall were awakened, staring with green eyes, curiously looking at these strange people climbing the mountain in the middle of the night.
When they reached the mountainside, the group jumped out of the path. According to the map, Xuan Ning Jade and Seven Star Grass are located in a cave. For the orcs, these two things are of little use, so the guards should not be very tight.
Soon, Wu Gen and others found the entrance to the cave, and the six of them quickly jumped into the cave. This section of the cave is not particularly difficult to navigate, and someone must have specially repaired it. However, this also made a few people feel a little depressed. Since someone was taking care of it, it also meant that orcs would often enter the cave.
Feng'er and Qihe were left to guard the entrance of the cave, while Wu Gen and others headed towards the cave. After walking for a while, the dark cave gradually became brighter.
There was a layer of fluorite veins scattered on the cave wall, and the green light spread out, making the cave look even more depressing.
After walking for less than two miles, the front becomes more and more open. In the tall cave, it is colorful, magical and blurred. The stone pillars are either vertical or hanging, like sculptures and sculptures, and have a myriad of atmospheres. In the innermost part of the cave, there is a small gourd-like two-color stone vein on the gray stone wall. Just like a gourd with the middle as the line, it has two colors, one side is green and the other side is purple.
The stone veins are exquisite and clear, like jade and crystal. There are dots of bright spots like stars embedded in the stone, which illuminate the entire cave in a strange way. From the mouth of the gourd, a drop of chalcedony just fell.
This was the same as the Xuan Ning Jade described by Zhu Yu. Wu Gen swallowed his saliva and looked down along the stone veins, but he was suddenly surprised.
Directly under the mouth of the gourd, there was a long white snake sleeping in a circle. At the head of the snake, there was a woman's face. In the middle of the snake's body, there are two shallow stone pits. The strange thing is that when the chalcedony fell, it kept spinning in the air, but it naturally divided into two drops and fell into two stone pits.
Purple chalcedony drops fell into the small pit on the left. There were six small grasses with purple leaves and white flowers growing in the pit. The green chalcedony fell into the stone pit on the right, and the three grasses inside were green leaves and red flowers. Above the two puddles, there is a dense cloud of blue and purple air. There are bright lights in the pits, which are chalcedony accumulated for countless years.
As the woman breathed, the nine grasses also trembled slightly, and some green and purple air was inhaled into her nose.
Wu Gen, Shui Congyue and the others looked at each other and made a gesture. A few people understood and quietly touched it. At this time, anyone who dares to block Wu Gen's path to grass will be eradicated without mercy.
But just after taking a few steps, the woman twitched her nose, as if she smelled the scent of a stranger, and suddenly opened her eyes. The snake's body stood up, and the woman looked shocked and angry, "You are so bold and a lowly person that you have entered this place without permission. Do you think you don't want to live? Look at me..."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Gen and others had already pounced on you like evil tigers. It doesn't matter whether you are a man or a woman, a human or a beast, we will kill you first.
The woman was shocked, her crouched body suddenly unfolded, and her long tail was whipped towards the four people. At the same time, two wings as thin as cicada wings appeared on the snake's body, buzzing and vibrating, and lifted off the ground into the air.
The four people quickly dodge around to avoid the sweep of the snake's tail. The snake's tail hit the cave floor, and the stalagmite pillars that originally grew in the stone were swept around, and rubble shot up.
It was so strong that Wu Gen took a breath of air. The woman has half a snake body flying into the air. In the small hole, if she is allowed to fully unfold her body, the four of them will be unable to escape. In desperation, Wu Gen held a knife in his mouth, jumped onto the snake's tail, hugged it tightly and pulled it down.
The woman panicked and swung her tail vigorously, trying to get rid of Wu Gen's entanglement.
In the air, Wu Gen was like leaves flying in the wind, bumping against the hard pillars from time to time.
