Based on his observation of the sky, Lu Yunyou could easily imagine that the army would be on their way as usual tomorrow morning. He didn't expect that they would set off again so soon, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
It was quiet around the military camp. Because the weather was too cold, many soldiers went to bed very early. The roars of some wild beasts came from the mountains in the distance. Sometimes they were extremely chaotic, and sometimes they were very regular. The sounds were far away and sometimes near, making people wonder. , I don’t know how far those ferocious beasts are from the military camp. Lu Yunyou suddenly wanted to see the location where those sounds came from. No matter what ferocious beast made the cry, he just wanted to see what those ferocious beasts looked like when they roared. Vice scene.
The evening wind kept blowing, and the chill became heavier and heavier, gradually making people feel irresistible. However, there was a unique loneliness in this coldness. Obviously, I was in a military camp, and I knew there were many people around me. , he stood alone outside the tent but always felt like he was isolated from the world.
This loneliness may be difficult to understand when spoken of, but it is so real. After standing in the wind for a long time, Lu Yunyou slowly turned around and returned to the camp.
His white hair fluttered in the wind, and under the dim moonlight, his figure looked so special.
Nothing happened all night, and early the next morning, the military camp was full of busy sounds, including the commands of some superior officers. Some people were busy cooking, and some were busy removing food stuck in the mud. The wheels were lifted out, and some people were responsible for feeding the horses. All preparations before departure were being carried out in an intense and orderly manner.
After breakfast, Yan Nantian gave the order and the army set off again. After a night's rest, many soldiers showed a kind of vigor in their eyes, as if after a rain, they all realized that what they were about to face was a cruel war. A long way to go.
The mental changes of those soldiers led to changes in the atmosphere of the army. Among those sharp edges, Lu Yunyou felt nothing but growing discomfort. This walk lasted another day, stopping and going. When they set up camp at night, their positions were far away from the previous ones. The camp is more than twenty miles away.
At the same time, Ruan Yi's group was only a dozen miles away from the Star Army's new station. This was the distance they deliberately kept from the Star Army after they confirmed the Star Army's location. The Star Army's station was different from their original plan. The locations are not far apart, and the terrain has changed slightly, but it does not affect the overall situation, so Ruan Yi and others set the time of action for tonight.
After nightfall, the weather became clearer. Half of the moon hung in the sky, passing through the loose clouds from time to time. There were only a few stars beside it. The whole night sky was so desolate.
After confirming that the weather was about to clear up, Lu Yunyou found a place to practice his body skills, and then practiced his sword skills for a while. This practice lasted for a long time. In the eyes of other generals, he was far more focused on training. More than normal people, but in Lu Yunyou's own opinion, no matter how hard he worked, it seemed difficult to make progress in body skills.
Now his body and sword skills are at a bottleneck stage, with no opportunity for breakthrough. No matter how much he practices, he will only increase his proficiency, and there will no longer be any real improvement. As for whether it makes sense to keep practicing like this, he Not sure either.
After he was tired from training, Lu Yunyou found a place to sit cross-legged and meditate to adjust his inner breath, while thinking about cultivation matters. When leaving Windless City, the head of the Ling family had made it clear that there was no end to martial arts, and that their cultivation had reached the level of an ordinary person's lifetime. The peak is hard to reach, but we have just started on the path to immortality. The road ahead will be longer and more difficult, and the chance of reaching the top of the path to immortality is very slim.
Lu Yunyou still remembers that the head of the Ling family said that both the Star Kingdom and the original Feng Kingdom are on the edge of the Central Territory. The spread of martial arts from the Holy Land to these places is already in its infancy. This is also the reason why there are few people in these places who can transcend the Holy Realm level. reason.
In addition, the head of the Ling family also made it clear that if you want to get in touch with real martial arts, you need to go to Yinlongzhou, the holy land of the Central Region. The road to Longzhou is far away, and the road is full of dangers. Lu Yunyou still remembers that the head of the Ling family said that even if his cultivation reaches the seventh level, he may not be able to reach it safely.
This is why the head of the Ling family clearly said that being in the military would affect his path to immortality, but he did not suggest that he leave the army immediately. Lu Yunyou could understand the Ling family's intention of asking him to travel around. It was also for this reason that he had recently considered whether to stay or leave. .
Unfortunately, no specific results were obtained. Next, he could only take one step at a time. Looking back and thinking about it, Lu Yunyou felt that if the head of the Ling family was by his side, perhaps his progress in swordsmanship would be faster, but in terms of body skills, He can only rely on himself.
Bahuangbu is not an ordinary body technique. It is many different from ordinary movement training methods. According to the head of the Ling family, Bahuangbu has exceeded the limit of "wei mo" and is above advanced martial arts. It is possible to help him step into the realm of martial arts. In the martial arts of Xiantu, he should focus more on the study of body techniques.
It's a pity that he, like the Ling family, doesn't know the reason why his body skills cannot be improved. No one can guide him on the Eight Desolate Steps. Unless he returns to the Lu family, he can only rely on himself to explore everything before that.
After the problem gradually turned into an unsolvable problem, Lu Yunyou could only tell himself that it was useless to think too much. He took a few deep breaths. Unknowingly, it was already late at night. The surroundings of the camp were extremely quiet. He had obviously entered the mountains, but tonight But he couldn't hear the roar of the ferocious beast. While feeling strange about this, Lu Yunyou only felt that the fatigue on his body had faded a lot. Instead, he had an ethereal feeling, as if he was integrated with the heaven and earth.
His mind was empty and his body was relaxed. Inadvertently, Lu Yunyou discovered that everything around him was closely related to him. No disturbance could escape his perception. He had never experienced this wonderful feeling. His mood became more and more excited. Lu Yunyou concentrated on thinking. Figure out what's going on now.
Just when he closed his eyes and was about to carefully feel everything around him, there was suddenly some movement from the side. When he listened carefully, it seemed that there was some ferocious beast crawling forward, and the sound became more and more urgent.
Under the cold moonlight, Lu Yunyou turned around and looked towards the direction where the sound came from, and vaguely saw some black shadows. If he looked carefully, he saw that there were many black shadows, and they seemed to be moving forward in sheets. The direction was exactly where he was. Not knowing why, a strong sense of crisis suddenly came to mind.
Dark clouds passed by, and the moonlight suddenly appeared. In an instant, the confused Lu Yunyou saw that the moving black figures were people. At the same time, a cold light from the weapons in the hands of those figures directly caught his attention, and he reacted based on instinct. , Lu Yunyou stood up quickly and immediately shouted in the direction of the camp: "There is an enemy attack."
Immediately afterwards, without being sure how many people were in front of him, and fearing that he would be in danger if he faced those people, Lu Yunyou hurriedly retreated towards the camp.
At the same time, hearing Lu Yunyou's voice, the patrol team at the camp immediately moved closer to the east. Some of the soldiers who were sleeping were also awakened by Lu Yunyou. They stood up one by one and went outside the camp to check the situation.
"General Lu, what's going on?" The patrol team quickly met Lu Yunyou who was running towards them. Because of Lu Yunyou's white hair, they immediately confirmed Lu Yunyou's identity.
"There is some movement over there, go and check it out," Lu Yunyou said in desperation, without thinking too much, he directly ordered the patrolling soldiers.
"Yes," the leader agreed, and then led the people to the east. Out of a defensive mentality, everyone pointed their spears forward diagonally, and then moved forward quickly.
"General Lu, what's going on?" Then while Lu Yunyou stared at the backs of the patrolling soldiers, Yan Nantian hurried over with several generals.
"Reporting to General Yan, there are people coming from the east, and there are a lot of them." Facing Yan Nantian's inquiry, some vague thoughts suddenly flashed in Lu Yunyou's mind, but when he was about to think clearly, he was interrupted by Yan Nantian. Before he could remember, he answered Yan Nantian's question first. After answering Yan Nantian, he remembered the vague thought just now, but he couldn't remember it for a while, until he looked eastward with Yan Nantian and others. Go, his expression condensed, and he realized that he had just forgotten to remind the patrolling soldiers to be careful.
With his heart sinking, Lu Yunyou quickly looked at the patrol officers, wanting to call them back.
"Ah," but just when he was about to speak, a shrill scream broke the original silence, instantly making everyone nervous. Then when Lu Yunyou, Yan Nantian and others were paying close attention to the situation ahead, there was another scream. There was a sound of "enemy attack" and then there was no sound again.
"Everyone, be careful, there is an enemy attack." Just at this time, the moon penetrated the clouds, and the light was a little brighter than before. In an instant, Lu Yunyou, Yan Nantian and others could clearly see some black figures running towards them not far away. .
