In fact, the time to exit customs is faster than the old mouse expected. In the afternoon of that day, the border army took the list of verification personnel from tent to tent, and used an unknown magic weapon to record the fluctuations of each person's soul.
Then in the evening, the whistle sounded in the station and the whole team gathered.
Tan Bin, the three of them, Lao Mozi and three other veterans recruited by Lao Mouse, formed a ranger patrol team, and Lao Mouse held many positions.
Tan Bin originally thought that they would practice cooperation at the station and get used to each other before they can get out of the customs, but it didn't happen at all.
"It's a waste of time to break in. We're all old guys. Who hasn't been in the military? We're so familiar with the battle formations that there's no need to break in. And if you dare to set up a battle formation and try it out in the pass, you'll really be a sidekick. Can the military talk so well that we can mess around? When we get out of the customs, we will have a lot of time and there will be many opportunities to get to know each other. Let's go, it's our turn to go out."
In front is the team leader who goes through the formalities. After the gate is opened, the formalities and documents are finally verified, and then the roadblock is opened and people are allowed to pass.
Only one queue can be passed at a time, and each person has to verify again, but this time the verification is only the soul fluctuations recorded previously with the unknown magic weapon, so as to prevent someone from taking advantage of the troubled waters and sneaking across.
After leaving the pass, a gust of wind blew. Tan Bin collected himself, glanced at his companions, got on his horse and followed the forward slowly southward along the open field in front.
Outside the pass is a funnel shape that becomes wider. The narrowest point is the Zhuhuo Pass. It gets wider and wider as you continue to the south. All the trees have been cut down. There are no stones larger than the size of a fist on the ground. It has obviously been cleaned. of.
"There are two watchtowers ahead. After passing the watchtowers, you will reach the boundary of Nanman territory." The old mouse rode beside Tan Bin and pointed to the two watchtowers erected on the left and right hills in front to introduce Tan Bin.
"Are we just going to break up and go out?"
"What are you afraid of? This is still the Chuhuo Pass. Who can do something to us here? Don't worry. The Southern Barbarians have been slaughtered for decades, and you can't even see sheep footprints within a hundred miles. Relax, This is where we are, it’s very early.”
Sure enough, as the old mouse said, after leaving the pass, the scene continued to be desolate. Not to mention trees, there was not even grass that could grow above the knees, and some broken and rotten horses could be seen on the ground.
After walking for almost an hour, the team started to form. Separate according to one brigade and one brigade. Tan Bin belongs to the Third Brigade, which has a total of 500 people. There are five teams of Ranger Sentinels like him, which is 35 people. This time, a total of 2,000 people from four brigades came out of the Dividend Chamber of Commerce.
"Search in three directions! Keep in touch with Qianli Note and gather at Wuhu in ten days."
"Got the order!"
The three captains were ordered to leave, and then each chose a direction and officially set off.
It wasn't until midnight that Tan Bin's third brigade was ordered to rest. They lit a fire, drank water, and slept on the ground in a circle surrounded by carriages and horses.
Waiting for daybreak, the team continues to set off. It wasn't until after three days of moving forward in such an orderly manner that Tan Bin and the others got their first mission? To explore fifty miles east.
The opportunity just came.
"let's go!"
Got the token? The old rat took the lead and ran out with the team. He is an old man, he is already familiar with this area. He knows where to visit.
A group of seven? Searching in scattered directions while advancing quickly.
Generally, this kind of ranger sentinel will keep the ordered distance of fifty miles outside, and will not take it back until the sky gets dark. So in the afternoon, the old rat raised his hand to gather the team.
"Okay? Let's stop here today. Let's eat something on the spot and then go back."
So all seven people dismounted, formed a circle, and began to take out water and cakes from their backpacks to satisfy their hunger.
"I was almost unlucky today. I saw a few traces but no sheep. It's a pity."
"Don't worry? I think we have to walk east for a few more days before we can see Yangzi. Now this business is getting harder and harder. In the past, you could see Yangzi in one or two days after leaving customs, but now you can't see Yangzi in five or six days." There is no way to find it."
"That's right. It will be troublesome if we go back empty-handed this time."
"What's the trouble? You're not going to make money again, are you? You deserve it. Sooner or later, you'll lose all your ancestral graves!"
"It's none of your business? I want you to take care of me even if I am making money..."
Suddenly? A line of blood burst open from the neck of the person who spoke, and the smell of blood spurted out instantly.
"you......"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
In advance, he used the magic plate to increase the speed and strength of his actions, and then used the pan spiritual stone to activate a talisman to paralyze the opponent's reaction. Finally, taking advantage of the lack of defense awareness during eating and drinking, Tan Bin and the three of them took action together? The daggers were each accurate. across the opponent's neck.
Even Tan Bin's opponent was a monk at the first level of Qi Refining Realm, but after Tan Bin added a talisman to block the true energy? He was caught off guard and still couldn't escape the fate of Bei slitting his neck.
One knife opened the throat and closed the voice, and the second knife was extended downwards and stabbed two inches into the left chest to kill him? This is a standard sneak attack method, fast and ruthless.
"Are you crazy!?" The old mouse still wanted to run away? But as soon as he ran out, he fell to the ground and was so paralyzed that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"You eat the pancake I handed you and you still want to run away?"
Tan Bin stepped forward and trampled the old mouse under his feet, then quickly tied him up. At the same time, his two companions were dragging the three dead people onto their horses and fixing them up, and then dealing with the blood on the ground.
Tan Bin also tied up the limp old rat and put it on his horse.
"Walk!"
After burning the incense, Tan Bin said hello, and the three of them led the other four horses to continue heading south. It wasn't until late at night that he met a group of wild wolves and threw the naked body off the horse to feed it. Then they found a place to camp and set fire to all the clothes of the three of them. Of course, all the valuable things were left behind.
"Brother Liu San, what are you going to do?" The old rat was now over the medicine, but he was still tied up and couldn't move but he could speak.
"Nothing else, please help us lead the way."
"where to?"
"Baektu Gorge, further south."
"Ah?! That place is too far, and we can't eat the fat sheep even if we go there? I think we should go back, just say that we encountered the wolf safari team and lost three people. You will definitely not be suspected, and you can continue to make money with the team, you...ah!"
Before the old mouse finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his left cheek, and one of his ears was removed by Tan Bin. Just throw it on him.
"Lead the way, or not?"
"I'll lead! I'll lead! You can go wherever you want to go, I know the nearest way!" The old mouse didn't dare to say another word, and hurriedly roared and agreed to lead the way, because he felt the cold blade of a knife was pressed against his right ear again. I'm afraid I won't have an ear if I agree too late.
"very good."
Without waiting for daybreak, after resting for two hours, Tan Bin and the others continued on their way with the old mouse...
