"Something happened? What happened?" Zhou Cang felt nervous. The school commander in front of him was not a new recruit or a young master officer, but a veteran who had fought against the demon clan many times. In more than a year, he has never looked so frightened as he does now.
Cheng Xiaoling paused, as if he was swallowing the saliva in his throat, and then pursed his chapped lips and said: "Sir, most of the group of monsters that recently entered the territory died yesterday afternoon. The remaining ones are less than half. Ten of them were picked up by the demon clan who followed behind."
"God's Coming"
"Wait! Are you talking about the group of monsters who just passed Baima Stone yesterday?"
"Yes, sir. They are the group of monsters who just passed Baima Stone yesterday."
"How is that possible!" Zhou Cang frowned immediately. Although the demon clan cannot withstand the attacks of those invisible and intangible monsters, it is not so unbearable. They came in yesterday and today there are less than ten left?
Cheng Xiaoling also understood that what he said was unreasonable, but it was the truth, so he nodded vigorously and explained: "My lord, I am absolutely telling the truth! Most of the monsters in that group are really dead, and The situation is very strange.
Probably last night, the group of monsters camped at the rocky beach in the north. As you know, every group of monsters that comes in will go there to have a meal and then dig holes. Some are digging new holes, and some are drilling into existing holes.
We kept staring at the group of monsters, and at first we didn't think it was anything when we saw them camping on the rocky beach. Later, they began to find some holes made by the demon clan in front and continued to drill down. And he was very persistent. The earth and rocks dug out were as high as the mountains. "
The demon clan's ability to dig holes is not due to any special tools, but to the rock rats in their team. Each one is like a living drilling machine, and they are the main force of the demon clan digging holes everywhere in Xiyuan County.
Commander Cheng's voice had stabilized and he continued: "There were no problems all night. I heard them shouting for a while late at night, and it seemed that they had dug something, but in the end I found that it was a black piece of ice-like material. The things quickly dispersed. Our people leaned over and could see clearly even though they were not far away. The demon clan did not continue to dig deeper.
It wasn't until daybreak that something happened to them. First, three rock rats died inexplicably in the camp. He died in his sleep, and no one noticed.
I thought it was another inexplicable dead person like usual, but there was something wrong with the body! When our people went to record the number of dead monsters, they saw that the three rock rat corpses were covered with black markings, inch by inch, densely covering the whole body.
At noon, the group of monsters began to have problems one after another, and then died soon after. There is a sign before they die, that is, the dead monsters will also have black markings on their bodies! "
Zhou Cang's eyes widened, he jumped up from his chair, grabbed Colonel Cheng's collar, and asked in a deep voice: "Where are your spies? Are they following you back to camp?!"
Cheng Xiaoling was frightened by Zhou Cang's fierce actions and quickly replied: "Don't worry, sir. Those spies are staying ten miles outside the military camp. They also feel that something is wrong. One of the spies had a plague in his hometown." , so we are very alert to this kind of thing. We were five feet away from the spies when we last spoke."
After hearing this, Zhou Cang regained his composure from the anger in his heart that was almost gone. Because what I just said is too similar to the kind of plague that kills people invisible. The source of the plague should be the black "ice" that the demon tribe dug out last night.
However, Zhou Cang was still worried and said: "You should immediately ask all your people to take the tents and not go anywhere! Forget it, don't go."
Then he turned to the adjutant beside him and ordered: "Immediately seal the camp where the First Cavalry is located, and send all those who have come into contact with the First Cavalry to be guarded together! Meals will be provided for them to pick up by themselves. Anyone who dares to enter or exit without authorization will be shot to death." !" After saying that, he looked at Colonel Cheng in the tent and said, "You stay here with me!"
The adjutant also honestly let the flag bearer pass the order from a distance without leaving the tent at all.
"We will be locked up for three days to see if anyone dies. Once someone dies, we will leave immediately and go to the opposite side of Baima Stone to cause trouble for the demon clan." Zhou Cang's face was filled with seriousness at this time, and his words seemed like a joke. , but the adjutant in the tent and the school commander all knew that what Zhou Cang said was true.
Zhou Cang spent three days in suffering. Not only Zhou Cang, but everyone in Baima Shijun Village was feeling uneasy. Although most people didn't know what happened, they felt something unusual.
Fortunately, no one in the military camp had any problems in the past three days, not even the three cavalry spies who stayed outside the military camp.
Only then did Zhou Cang feel relieved. But the spies outside the military camp will have to stay outside for another three days. After all, they are the ones who have been closest to the group of monsters and need to be more careful. The spies understood, too. As long as water and food are delivered, they can just find a forest to stay, not to mention three days, thirty days doesn't matter. Isn’t this much more comfortable than running around every day?
Only then did Zhou Cang in the military camp dare to pick up a pen and start writing letters to Baishi City. Previously, he was worried that if the plague spread from Feiyu to Baishi City, wouldn't he be doomed? So I kept waiting. Today I found that there was nothing going on in the military camp, so I sent the note I had written long ago to Feiyu.
Black "ice", similar to the plague, black spots, very short death time. These keywords came into the hands of Yang Shiming, commander of the Western Army in Baishi City, that night, and Yang Shiming was also shocked.
Baima Shi Zhoucang is fine, but in Yang Shiming's eyes, other places in the huge Xiyuan County are also facing similar dangers. While understanding Zhou Cang's caution in reporting the matter only three days later, he also secretly cursed that the reporting was too slow. Feeling conflicted, Yang Shiming felt inexplicably panicked for the first time in many years. You must know that he never panicked when faced with the monster army pressing down on the situation before.
Plague! That thing can't be stopped at all. You can only hide. Once you can't hide, too many people will die too quickly. Even the entire Western Route Army in Xiyuan County will collapse quickly.
Yang Shiming did not dare to delay, so he quickly left Baishi City with an urgent order, and also flew to all the military camps in Xiyuan County responsible for tracking the demon clan in Feiyu's situation. It contains all the findings of Baima Stone intact, including the emergency methods on Baima Stone. At the same time, some details have also been added. For example, if the spies find a similar situation, they cannot return to the camp. They can only light a beacon, wait for the people to pass, and shout from a position five feet upwind to deliver the message, etc...
Just two days later, another "black spot death" incident occurred in Xiyuan County. It was exactly the same as the first time.
