The sun is about to set, casting scattered afterglow through the branches and leaves.
A group of scavenging birds with a keen sense of smell appeared out of nowhere, hanging upside down on a branch and greedily looking at the flesh and blood on the ground. They made a "whispering" sound from time to time, which made people have a headache.
"First check if anyone lying on the ground is still alive." Sun Xinglie looked calm. He found a hairband from somewhere and put it on, and ordered like a normal person.
In fact, without waiting for his reminder, everyone spontaneously started cleaning up the battlefield.
There were heavy casualties this time, and there were many corpses on the ground.
Human and animal, mixed together, blood soaked into the soil, leaving a dark red.
Facing a tide of beasts, most people actually have a much smaller chance of survival if they fall down. After all, how many people can survive if they are trampled by a group of beasts.
There were also mountain beasts with tenacious vitality, but they were all sent away immediately with a last-ditch blow, and then professional pharmacists cut the bodies into pieces, leaving the useful parts.
Lin Mo counted and found that nearly half of the apprentices were dead. This was even under Chen Gang's care.
The supply team was not much better. After all, relying on the car formation, they were on the outside.
Too many people died. Under the tide of beasts, no matter how strong a person is, he can only protect a few people around him.
In the end, if Sun Xinglie's momentum had not frightened the beasts, there might have been more casualties.
"Isn't it cruel?"
Lin Mo squatted on the ground, smoothed the hair of an apprentice he was familiar with on weekdays, wiped the blood stains on his face, and finally closed his eyes, when such a voice suddenly came to his ears.
He looked up and saw Sun Xinglie.
"This is the mountains, this is the wilderness, this is the troubled times. I would rather be a dog in the prosperous times than be a person in the troubled times." Sun Xinglie helped Lin Mo pack up and sighed.
He was old enough to have experienced the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he had also witnessed the helplessness of the transition from prosperity to decline.
"Do you know that man?" Sun Xinglie clapped his hands and asked after arranging himself, looking at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo shook his head.
He knew who Sun Xinglie was referring to. Naturally, it was the green-faced man who wanted to give him a slap in the face before leaving. He really didn't know who he was.
"That person is from Universal Cult." Sun Xinglie took a deep look at Lin Mo and explained:
"This sect is quite evil. The Great Zhou Dynasty once strictly prohibited its preaching. However, after the imperial power fell behind, it has revived. In recent years, with the increase of refugees and the preaching among them, its power has become much stronger."
"They are behind many demonstrations in the city, and this time too, they used the beast-attracting incense to attract the beast tide. If I hadn't expected my breakthrough, the little beast king in the meantime would have been enough to annihilate our entire army. "
Sun Xinglie's voice was unusually tired and he patted Lin Mo's shoulder.
"I will help you cover up the past. You are a good young man. You still have a long way to go. You must remember to do something and something not to do, but please have a clear conscience."
After that, he tapped Lin Mo's head three more times, stood up and walked towards Tang Hai.
Went to discuss things.
"Universalism? Do you have a clear conscience?"
Lin Mo was in a low mood. It should be said that anyone who experienced such a scene for the first time would feel depressed.
Human life is like grass.
In the distance, Li Yuanze was calling him. Over there, Chen Gang was organizing the packing of supply boxes. On the other side, Tang Hai and others took the lead in finding an open space and digging holes.
After a while, the supply truck was sorted out, and the apprentices were also pulled over to help. They were buried together and a simple cemetery was made. Finally, Sun Xinglie personally moved a stone as high as one person and placed it in front of the tomb as a souvenir.
"Every time you pass by here in the future, you should think of everything that happened today. After all, you can survive probably because they died for you."
Sun Xinglie said.
It is getting late, and Dalong Mountain is even more dangerous at night.
Without further delay, they packed up their things and re-arranged their formation. The car formation left this place amidst the whistling of horses.
Along the way, everyone talked a lot less. Even Chen Gang was no longer interested in imparting experience. He rode on a horse with a steel knife and patrolled from time to time. He personally killed a few mountain beasts blocking the road, as if he was venting something. .
They kept walking along the mountain path without talking all the way, and finally they arrived just before the sun was about to set.
This is a small peak, neither high nor short, but about the same size as Dachan Mountain. All the tall trees on it have been cut down, and wooden houses in the forest have been built. They look row upon row and are quite neat.
When they arrived here, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the members of the surrounding supply team were also in a much better mood, and started talking and laughing, which made the apprentices who came here for the first time confused.
"Xiaolongshan stronghold is said to be a stronghold, but in fact it can be regarded as a town. It is a town located deep in Dalong Mountain and is jointly managed by three families. The inside is almost the same as Ningyang, like restaurants, shops, well, everything is there."
Chen Gang on the side found a bag of wine from nowhere, unscrewed the stopper, took a sip, and explained to Lin Mo and the others.
"But you can vent your anger at night, but don't play around for too long. You should stay in the dormitory at night and have a good rest. I will take you to the medicine field stronghold tomorrow morning, so you have to get up early."
Chen Gang warned.
As a young man with strong vitality and great changes, he can understand naturally if he wants to vent his emotions.
There are many ways to vent, each with their own differences, but most of them are limited to the upper and lower body. He is afraid that Lin Mo and the others will not love themselves if they are young, and they will not know restraint, which will damage their bodies.
Everyone quickly agreed.
Seeing that everyone was very well-behaved, Chen Gang nodded with satisfaction, and whispered the names of several small shops that he thought the proprietresses were warm-hearted, gentle and considerate, and then he rode leisurely to the front.
Later, they met several groups of hunting patrols, and the density was quite high. Sun Xinglie went up to negotiate, checked the roster, explained why most of them were injured, and then let them go.
As they were about to reach the bottom of the mountain, Lin Mo saw Wang Zhuo and his group riding in front looking back at him from time to time, and then whispering something. There were some quarrels, and they were a little excited.
He frowned, originally thinking that it was considered a life-and-death experience, and that it was not a big grudge and should be settled, but the reality seemed to be optimistic.
"The whole story is clear." Li Yuanze rode to Lin Mo's side and whispered.
He is also a disabled person now, and of course he is better than others. His shoulder was only hit by a falling rock.
"Just as you thought, that can of tiger bone wine caused trouble." Li Yuanze sighed.
Although it was originally expected, it was still a bit outrageous when it actually happened.
"A young master of the Xu family, well, he is not the direct descendant, but he is also in the Bone Refining Realm. He needs resources. I don't know where he got the news. Seeing that there is no one behind you, he falls in love with your things, and then there are a lot of people who are willing to give them to you. People with stinky feet." Li Yuanze was a little indignant.
In his opinion, when the medicine knowledge practice is over and he returns to Ningyang to be assigned a teacher, Lin Mo's talent and starting as a green shirt will never lead to such an encounter.
After all, it was then that Lin Mo was really considered to be in the pharmacy department.
"Do you know who it is?" Lin Mo asked in a low voice, knowing.
"Xu Chengyuan." Li Yuanze replied.
"I can ask my grandpa to make peace. The wine may not be kept, but it can bring some benefits."
"Is it as good as tiger bone wine?" Lin Mo smiled.
"How is that possible?" Li Yuanze looked like you were making fun of me.
He could at most use this to help Lin Mo get some benefits back. Although he just said it was light and not legitimate, his surname was Xu after all.
After all, when it comes to the Xu family, even ordinary pharmacists in green shirts are not willing to wade into this muddy water.
"Let's talk about this later." Lin Mo looked calm and shook his head.
Ordinary people might agree. After all, people have a large number of people, so if they give the wine, they will give it away. If they want compensation, they will just make do with it.
But he is different.
His strength is already in the period of rapid growth. With his current strength, although he has never fought seriously, he thinks that ordinary blood-boiling warriors are not his opponent. Besides, he has a father who has barely reached the fate-making realm, so there is no need. So frustrating.
Li Yuanze opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, but when he saw Lin Mo with a blank expression on his face, he couldn't help but kick the horse's belly and turn its head.
"I'll go make peace again!"
Looking ahead, Li Yuanze kept talking to Wang Zhuo and others, which finally led to several sneers that he could hear.
Lin Mo shook his head, took out a piece of remaining fine-noodle steamed bun from his pocket, and without adding any water, he tore it up bit by bit and swallowed it.
Xiaolong Mountain in the distance is getting closer and closer.
He seemed to hear the noise of people on the mountain.
