At night, the sky is full of stars, and the moon shines brightly on the world.
The fire has been lit in the open space, and the Qin Wei soldiers are setting up pots for cooking and processing the pile of game.
And those dragon guards were tirelessly guarding the surroundings.
Through this day's observation, Qin Heng discovered that they had rich experience in surviving in the wild, which was not comparable to those of the Qin Wei army.
"Your Highness."
Long Yi's voice came from the side.
He turned around and saw Long Yi walking over from the side holding a map.
"Commander Long, have everything been arranged?"
"It's been arranged. You can have dinner later." Long Yi stood in front of Qin Heng and replied respectfully.
"Thank you for your hard work." Qin Heng looked at his tired expression and felt very satisfied.
Although this person has a somewhat cold personality, he is meticulous in everything he does and does not make any mistakes throughout the whole day.
"Your Highness, you're welcome. This is the responsibility of the general." Long Yi said modestly, then picked up the map and put it in front of him. With the help of the firelight, he continued: "Your Highness, please see, we have probably reached this point today. Tomorrow You can enter the valley, and then all you have to do is follow the valley."
Qin Heng glanced at the map and nodded slightly.
He was worried about losing his way today, so he checked the map from time to time along the way, and he knew where they were currently.
"How does Commander Long plan to deal with those wolves?"
According to what Zhang Yong and others said, the wolves were in that valley.
Long Yi thought for a moment and then said, "Let's light as many fires as possible at night and be careful."
"Um."
Qin Heng heard that he probably didn't have a good solution, so he could only look at it based on the situation.
However, it is also a good idea to make more fires. Wolves are afraid of fire.
Wolves are nocturnal animals and are good at using the night to hide themselves. If there is light produced by fire, their whereabouts will be exposed, and they will inherently lack a sense of security.
"The general will go down first."
After Long Yi bowed respectfully, he turned around and walked away.
Qin Heng looked at his leaving figure, smiled softly, and looked into the endless darkness in the distance.
It was an uneventful night. Qin Heng did not sleep well that night. Everyone slept on the floor. Qin Heng also leaned on the chair frame and slept intermittently throughout the night.
The cold weather at night, coupled with the constant snoring, was simply torture for Qin Heng.
The sun was rising in the east, and in the early morning, everyone tidied up a little and continued on their way in the direction.
Everyone's speed today was a little faster than yesterday. As noon approached, Qin Heng could clearly feel that the dense trees were gradually becoming rarer and the temperature was getting hotter.
"It looks like we are going to the valley."
Qin Heng thought to himself.
At this moment, even others clearly felt this change, enduring their fatigue, their speed increased again.
Sure enough, after a while, there was a slight sound of running water in front.
"There's water ahead."
Everyone spread the news among the team as if they had discovered a new continent.
Everyone was refreshed and moved forward quickly.
Even Zhou Tao and Wu Fan, who were carrying Qin Heng, sped up.
For a moment, Qin Heng's eyes lit up, and a winding creek came into view.
The ever-flowing water surface has ripples, like notes of nature, gently playing a beautiful movement.
He looked up along the stream and saw that the rugged path was a valley.
The valley is deep and quiet, and the peaks on both sides look like giants holding up the sky.
After more than a day, they finally arrived at this valley. Then they only had to follow the valley and quickly pass through the mountains in front to find the Li people.
"Your Highness, let's take a short rest here." Long Yi walked over from the front of the team.
Qin Heng turned his head, with a smile on his face: "Okay, let's rest here for a while."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the valley, and said: "Commander Long, how long do you think it will take us to cross the first mountain?"
Long Yi followed his hand, looked at it for a long time, and then said slowly: "As far as I know, I can pass through tomorrow at the latest."
"Then are we going to rest in this valley tonight?" Qin Heng asked worriedly.
Things about the wolves couldn't get out of his mind.
He wouldn't worry if it was a pack of wolves or several packs of wolves.
After all, they brought so many elite soldiers with them, so they had nothing to fear.
Afraid, just afraid...
"Your Highness, don't worry. Let's be careful when the time comes. If we encounter a pack of wolves, just leave it to the general." Long Yi seemed to have noticed his concerns and said with confidence.
Hearing this, Qin Heng could only suppress his worry, nodded and said with a smile: "In that case, Lao Long will be the commander."
Long Yi smiled slightly and said nothing.
After everyone washed up by the stream, they walked along the stream towards the valley.
The road in the valley is rugged and difficult to walk, but it is much easier than walking in the forest.
Qin Heng sat on the chair frame, feeling even more tired than the servant who was carrying him.
"Your Highness, my servant will support you."
A pair of slender palms rested on his arms.
Qin Heng turned around and saw Cao Zheng following the chair frame with a relaxed expression.
"At this time, I am a little envious of you martial arts practitioners." Qin Heng breathed softly, with a strong sense of envy in his tone.
Cao Zheng bent slightly and said respectfully: "If Your Highness practices the method of inner breath diligently, he will also strengthen his physique."
Qin Heng's eyes twitched. He had been practicing this inner breath method intermittently for some time, but most of the time he fell asleep while practicing it.
He felt that this should be called hypnosis.
"I have always wanted to..."
"Ouch - ow -"
A deafening wolf howl suddenly sounded.
Qin Heng's expression changed and he quickly looked around.
"There are wolves."
"Where did the wolf sound come from?"
"alert."
Qin Weijun reacted quickly, quickly formed a formation, and looked around with vigilant eyes, trying to find the wolf.
Cao Zheng and the clan attendants were also very responsive, and they surrounded Qin Heng and Dr. Xu in just one breath.
Qin Heng's face was solemn and he kept looking around.
The valley was rising upwards, and he glanced around but couldn't see the wolf.
"Your Highness, Commander Long is here." Zhang Long's voice rang in his ears.
Qin Heng turned around and saw Long Yi walking over with a calm expression.
"Your Highness, don't panic. I saw a lone wolf in front just now. It has already run away."
When Qin Heng heard this, he felt relieved: "I know, Commander Long should be more careful in front."
"Yes, Your Highness, do you want to take a rest?"
"No, it's okay, let's continue on our way." Qin Heng waved his hand and said.
In fact, the incident just happened suddenly, and it will slow down now. He really has nothing to be afraid of.
It’s not like he’s never seen a wolf before, he went to the zoo a lot in his previous life.
"No." Long Yi responded, turned and left.
Everyone continued to move forward, and after experiencing this wolf roar, everyone became alert again.
