After Feng He and the others left, Long Chen, Gan Xin, and Mo Lin stayed in the Black Forest.
It was already daybreak, and Gan Xin asked: "Sir, are you really going to the Hera Pass?"
It was really dangerous there, and Gan Xing felt it was best not to go alone, as it was too risky.
There is a vast plain near the Hera Pass. If you are discovered, you won't even be able to find a place to hide.
Long Chen smiled and said, "You're already here, it would be a pity not to take a look."
When the ghost tribe was discovered in the barbarian holy mountain, Long Chen asked the Tu tribe to keep an eye on the Hera Pass.
Later Long Chen asked, and Tuzhi said that he didn't find anything unusual. The barbarians had heard some rumors and didn't dare to get too close to the Hera Pass. Tuzhi himself didn't dare to get close, so it was of no use except to make sure that no one came out.
"I will go with the adults."
Long Chen insisted on going, but Gan Xin could only ask to go with him.
Long Chen smiled and said: "No, no one knows what is behind the Hera Pass. If you really encounter something powerful, I can't save you."
Gan Xin smiled awkwardly and said, "Then I'll wait here with Lao Mo."
Gan Xin doesn't insist, he knows his own weight.
Mo Lin asked: "Sir, are you leaving immediately?"
Long Chen ate a few more slices of dried meat and said, "Let's go now. You guys wait for me here. If I don't come back in three days, you go back and join the army."
The Hera Pass is the junction between the human race and the ghost race, and Long Chen cannot guarantee that he will not encounter danger.
If there is any unexpected situation and they cannot come back, Gan Xin and Mo Lin cannot go there. It would be wise to go back and meet the empress.
So Long Chen specially explained.
The two nodded, understanding what Long Chen meant.
"Okay, let's go."
Long Chen only brought a skeleton sword, a wooden sword, a musket, some dry food and bombs, and walked to the Hera Pass alone.
Watching Long Chen leave, Mo Lin was a little worried: "Will something happen?"
Gan Xin shook his head and said, "Don't worry, you can come back alive no matter how dangerous the situation is."
I have known Long Chen for so many years, and I have seen many critical situations. Every time, I can turn danger into safety, and it is the same this time.
"Wait, it's only three days."
Mo Lin sat down and waited for Long Chen to come back.
Long Chen rode his horse alone and slowly headed towards the Hera Pass. He didn't walk fast and observed the movements around him as he walked.
Walking too fast can easily lead to an ambush, so it is always wise to be cautious.
There is a vast plain of snow nearby, with no mountains in sight.
The cold wind here is so strong that the snow on the ground is blown flat and looks like a plain.
"The snowfield is the snowfield, so flat."
Long Chen rode his horse and walked slowly, looking at the world around him with appreciation.
When approaching the Hera Pass, the cold wind blew stronger, and the war horses lowered their heads and walked forward.
A mountain range stretched across the snowfield. Long Chen looked up and saw that the mountain was very high. It was estimated to be several thousand meters or even tens of thousands of meters high. It separated the grassland and the ice field. There was only a canyon cracked in the middle. The cold wind blew out from the canyon, sending out Whining wind.
Long Chen carefully found a small hole in the surroundings, tied the war horse in the hole, and took out the beans on the horse's back to feed it.
It's freezing cold, and horses need to be well fed to withstand the cold.
Taking all the weapons he brought with him, Long Chen put on a white coat to blend in with the colors of the outside world, then slowly walked out of the cave and headed towards the Hera Pass.
Walking near the Hera Pass, Long Chen lurked in a pile of snow and carefully observed the movement.
I don't know if there are any guards from the ghost clan near the mountain pass, so Long Chen doesn't dare to break in without permission.
After taking cover, Long Chen took a telescope and carefully observed the mountain pass.
...
ice fields.
The commander led the guards and the sled dogs, quietly left the igloo, pretended to be fishing, and went to a deserted place.
After confirming that there were no ghost soldiers following him, the commander immediately ordered to move south to the Hera Pass.
The guard was more anxious than the commander and drove the sled dogs south.
The sled dog ran for more than a day and was panting from exhaustion, so he stopped to rest.
The guard was very anxious and said: "Boss, we ran for a long time when we came here, maybe more than ten days. Our speed is too slow."
The commander calculated carefully and said: "It didn't take so long. When we came, we were slow because of the headwind."
"Now that we are back with the wind, we should be faster and it won't take that long."
A guard said: "Boss, we are following the wind. We can use the sail to speed up, just like sailing a ship."
The commander asked: "Can you do it?"
The guard nodded and said, "I'll try."
He took out animal skins and cloth and spliced them together, set up a sail on the sled, and the cold wind blew on it, and the sled began to move forward.
The commander was overjoyed, put the sled dogs on it, the guards controlled the sails, and the sled quickly slid towards the southern mountain pass.
When we entered the ice field, we had a headwind and rest, so we walked for a long time.
With a tailwind and no rest, they can go much faster.
The closer to the south, the stronger the wind and the faster the sled went. The commander looked back from time to time, fearing that Gui Tai would send someone to chase him.
Long Chen beat the ghost fetus until he was stunned. These people were particularly afraid of the ghost fetus.
They were captured by the ghost and taken to the snowy mountains, and became what they are now. They have been slaves under his hands for decades, and the fear is deep in their bones.
The sled slid rapidly, and the final speed exceeded the speed of the sled dogs. The leader let the dogs rest on it, using only the power of the wind.
While the guard is operating it himself, he teaches the method and lets other guards take turns to replace it to ensure there is no stopping.
...
Outskirts of the Moon Palace.
A patrol of ghost soldiers, wearing bone knives and skates, quickly passed through the city.
After passing the city, they patrolled outside, and the leader said, "Let's go see how those dogs are doing."
They are the subordinates of Patrol General Maya. Last time, the commander had a quarrel with Maya, and they were very unhappy. They planned to find an excuse to give him a lesson this time.
"Let's go, those dogs are ignorant and dare to quarrel with the general. Watch me tear their dog mouths apart."
A ghost soldier laughed.
Everyone quickly skated to the igloo.
The leader opened the animal skin curtain. There were ordinary things inside, and there were a few frozen fish outside the house.
"Where is the person? Isn't he here?"
The ghost soldiers behind him were surprised to see no one inside.
The leader didn't pay much attention and said: "They must have gone hunting. These dogs have to fish by themselves to have anything to eat."
The guards did not have any food supply. If they did not fish, they would starve to death. Unlike this group of ghost soldiers, who had fish and meat as military pay.
"Are we waiting here? Or..."
The ghost soldier asked the leader what he meant.
The leader thought for a while and said, "I have nothing to do these days anyway. Let's go find those dogs and see what fish they caught."
The ghost soldier laughed and said: "No matter what fish you catch, it is ours."
The other ghost soldiers laughed and said, "That's right, what kind of fish do dogs eat? They deserve to eat our fish."
A group of people immediately slid into the distance, knowing where the guards liked to fish and hunt.
Soon, they arrived at the place where the guards often fished.
Looking at the holes in the ground, the ghost soldier asked strangely: "Leader, they are not here. It seems they have changed places."
The ice sheet is so big that they would not be able to find it if they changed places to fish.
"Forget it, let's go back and wait."
The leader was very angry when no one was found, and he was even more determined to give these lackeys a lesson.
The group returned to the igloo and waited outside for the guard to come home.
