Chapter 220:
That night, these scarred soldiers ate delicious barbecue.
Although the rising fireworks are so dazzling, they expose the target in the valley.
But that night, Li Mu didn't get angry. Instead, he happily barbecued with everyone and had the most delicious meal in months.
That night, this group of remnant soldiers showed the happiest and most contented smiles they had seen in months.
They sang and even danced around the fire. A few ethnic minorities even danced happily, as if they were not as hungry as skeletons before.
Li Mu even sang when he was coaxed by the soldiers. This centurion actually had a good voice, and his folk songs overwhelmed many high-pitched and loud women from across the mountain.
"No, no, I'm afraid I'll wake up all the monsters in this mountain when I sing."
Li Mu smiled and glanced at You Chuiyun, only to see the young man gnawing on the pig knuckle and devouring it.
The soldiers followed the commander's gaze and looked at the young man. They were grateful. They knew that if it weren't for this young man, they would be hungry again tonight.
Along the way, this young man led them through dangerous situations and survived. Among these hundreds of people, he had vaguely brought authority beyond Kuruki and became a backbone-like existence.
You Chuiyun noticed the soldiers' gazes. He raised his head and smiled: "Don't worry, it's safe within ten miles."
Of course it doesn't mean that there are no monsters within a radius of ten miles, but at least there are no powerful monsters.
You Chuiyun had just revealed the sacred stone and had already alerted them. The reason why this young man was eating like crazy was to regain his strength to face the monsters that were coming from all directions.
However, he did not intend to tell these tired soldiers the truth. He planned to go out quietly in a while and deal with all the lurkers with evil intentions.
At this time, he laughed loudly and said to Li Mu: "Commander Li, please sing a song to show the soldiers what the sound of nature in the mountains is. We are all very tired, and Commander Li's singing is inspiring."
Now that You Chuiyun has spoken, Li Mu has always listened to him, smiled shyly, and nodded: "Now that You Shaoxia has spoken, I must give you this face. Brothers, listen to me singing!"
Li Mu stood up, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Sing folk songs!
This first sound was loud and high-pitched, like a rushing mountain stream, and a burst of energy came out, giving people a sense of alertness.
Just this first sentence attracted people's attention, and the soldiers who were busy eating meat couldn't help but raise their heads to listen.
"Singing here and there, folk songs are like spring river water~"
The soldiers sang cheerfully and brightly. Listening to this song, it seemed like the noise of relatives and friends gathering together in their hometown. Although it was noisy, it was heart-warming.
Thinking of their current situation, after experiencing despair and coming to light...their hope is still there, they still have a chance to go home, and they are still alive.
But the tears kept flowing. Although they were not sad, the warmth kept pouring out of their eyes. Many soldiers shed tears silently - with a hopeful smile on their faces, wiping them with their tattered cuffs. go.
Li Mu sang, singing about the light in the dark night.
So no one noticed that the young man grabbed his spear and quietly retreated, disappearing into the darkness.
That night, the soldiers slept soundly, probably because they had not eaten meat for a long time. They fell asleep with their mouths full of greasy food, wishing they could not sleep without having to face the dangers during the day.
Li Mu hadn't slept yet. Since he decided to march in the daytime, it meant that they were not in big danger for the time being. However, he was still worried. He knew that he was not a qualified army leader, so he could only make up for his shortcomings by working hard.
But at this moment, he was still waiting for You Chuiyun while he was still awake. He had already discovered that You Chuiyun was missing, so he looked at the map and waited for him.
"Commander, aren't you still asleep?"
The veteran picked up the only relatively complete coat and covered Limu. Limu nodded: "You guys go to bed first."
Soon, he fell asleep.
The next day, as soon as the two hundred officers and soldiers got up, many people saw a bloody man walking outside the camp.
Li Mu knocked down the swords they were waiting for, and quickly ran over to take the spear from Yu Chuiyun, which also looked like it had been painted with red paint.
"Young Shaoxia—you, are you okay?"
Li Mu looked at the long hair with mottled lines filled with clots of blood, and anxiously checked whether there were any serious injuries on Yu Chuiyun's body.
At this time, the soldiers also gathered around and looked at You Chuiyun with complicated expressions.
"Young Shaoxia."
"Young Shaoxia!"
Many veterans whose lives were directly saved by You Chuiyun greeted him and gathered around him silently.
"Invite the young hero to change clothes and take a shower!"
Li Mu said: "Young hero, you can no longer wear the clothes you are wearing. How about I take them off for you?"
The exhausted You Chuiyun nodded and moved his lips slightly: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief."
Li Mu then stretched out his hand to peel off the mottled and brown filth that could no longer be called clothing.
"It's okay, just take it off."
You Chuiyun said softly.
Li Mu was a man who had experienced many battles, but his hands were shaking a little. With a little effort, half of the bloody clothes were taken off. However, Yu Chuiyun's wounds that were stuck together were also immediately uncovered, and blood immediately flowed out. .
There is nothing good about him.
"Young hero, how many demons were attracted to us last night? Alas, it's all our fault for being ignorant and making such a mistake."
Kuruki sighed.
All the officers and soldiers suddenly realized that the days of indulgence and the night they slept peacefully yesterday were obtained by You Chuiyun's bloody night of fighting.
At this time, their eyes looked at You Chuiyun with more emotion. At that time, they were respectful, just like they were facing the big guys in the army.
They were in awe.
"It's okay, brothers, if you have a good rest, you will be more energetic and capable of fighting to the next level. This injury is nothing."
You Chuiyun said a little weakly.
After killing the seventh- and eighth-grade monsters all night, several sixth-grade monsters joined forces to attack them in the middle of the night, but Yu Chuiyun waited and killed them all. The harvest was good and he got a few demon pills.
If it weren't for the induction of the divine stone, he really wouldn't have been able to win in the jungle. It stands to reason that he would have died 8,000 times ago.
Li Mu ordered a few people to boil a bucket of rare hot water for Yu Chuiyun in the wild. After all, all the capable demons within a ten-mile radius were probably killed by Yu Chuiyun, so what kind of ghosts could they be afraid of?
Even if there are still two hundred of them, although they are remnant soldiers, they are not vegetarians.
After everything was tidied up, Limu ordered a few people to follow him and made a simple recliner himself. He carried Yu Chuiyun away forcefully and let the latter lie down and rest.
You Chuiyun couldn't resist the de facto commander, so he fell into trance on the recliner and began to run the Vajra Subduing Demons Heart Sutra to quickly repair the wounds on his body.
After that, the closer you get to the territory of the human race, the fewer the mountains and the more hills. The demon clan becomes weaker and weaker. There are basically no big demons anymore. Even if there are any, they will be killed by You Chuiyun who dodges.
Basically none of the two hundred officers and soldiers took action.
Until noon one day, the veteran who was exploring the road in front rode a thin spiritual horse and hurried back to report the news.
"Report! Commander, in front... in front..." The veteran took a breath and said clearly: "In the mountain col five miles ahead, there is a demon clan camp. It seems that there are at least thousands of people! It just blocks our route. .”
Li Mu was shocked and blurted out: "What? Thousands of people? Such a big battle? What should we do?"
You Chuiyun's pupils shrank, he thought for a while, and said loudly: "Get the map!"
A somewhat broken yellowed scroll slowly unfolded.
Li Mu pointed to their current location: "We are here - this is, near the Ursinidi Valley."
The veteran pointed to the front of their location, unpacked the sketch he was carrying, unfolded it and compared it with the big map, and then pointed to a mountain col on the map, and there happened to be a river passing through this mountain col with a branch nearby. .
"This is it... Hey, is it strange? Why does the big map show a ridge..."
"Maybe it's a flat land that was just opened up." Kuruki said, but his eyes looked at Yubukiyun who had been silent.
Youchui Yunzai looked at the map carefully and pondered for a long time.
"How is it, young hero, do you see anything?"
Li Mu asked cautiously, for fear of disturbing Yu Chuiyun's thoughts.
"Forcibly opening up a flat land, the waste of manpower, material and financial resources is huge -" You Chuiyun's eyelids twitched: "Since you dare to do this, it proves that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, why choose this place? The river, the river represents The advantage of water transportation is that this is also a diversion place, and the water system extends in all directions... Such a thoroughfare is the most suitable for garrisoning troops, and it is the cheapest to transport grain, grain, grass and baggage."
You Chuiyun raised his head again and murmured: "The scale can accommodate thousands of people, but it is still too small. It is most likely to be a transit place for baggage."
Li Mu's eyes shone brightly, and he was no longer sleepy when he heard the baggage and food supplies.
"Ah, there must be many good things there!"
He said happily: "If we can defeat it... wouldn't it mean that we can get whatever we want?"
"Commander...we only have...two hundred people."
The veteran said weakly.
You Chuiyun knocked on the table fiercely, interrupting their thoughts, and said loudly: "Go down and tell everyone to pack up the guys and hide them on the spot. Send all the spies out for me! There must be someone on every hilltop. Don't do it." Let go of any enemy spy!"
The veteran glanced at Limu in surprise, and Limu slapped the table and said angrily: "What are you looking at! Get it done immediately!"
The two hundred people immediately got to work, cleaning up all traces around them, and divided them into small groups to hide in the mountains, ready to fight at any time.
Sure enough, at sunset, the spies reported that there was a demon patrol team in the east.
You Chuiyun and Li Mu were lying on a hilltop, looking down at the demon team.
"There are thirty people, and the leader is probably only in the seventh grade."
Li Mu analyzed: "Their patrol is clearly following the route."
