The iron monkey smashed through the belly of the mountain with a stick. He subconsciously looked at his master's face. Wei Shiqi made a gesture. The monkey grinned and retreated happily. He put the water cloud stone stick in his ear and jumped up to the treetop. I picked a few pine cones and peeled them slowly to satisfy my craving.

The muscles on Lao Ke's face twitched slightly, and his eyes wandered. He was surprised and delighted by Hou Muba's strength. With a stick, he was invincible. Even in the midst of thousands of troops, he could still fight his way through the Centenary Valley. The battle added a few points of confidence.

With thoughts swirling in his mind, he crouched down in front of the mountain cave. It was freezing and his beard and hair were wet. The great lake was hidden in the heart of the mountain, nourishing thousands of pine forests. Lao Ke's chest and abdomen swelled rapidly, he pursed his lips and sucked, and a line of crystal water fell into his mouth, not a drop of it leaked. He held his breath for a long time, let out a long sigh, and praised: "Good water! It's as clear as wine, and it makes people want to drink it." drunk!"

Wei Shiqi laughed dumbly, but did not try to expose him. The big lake in the middle of the mountain was most likely the lair of the monster with protruding eyes and hare lips. He praised the pool of water for washing feet, saying it was "as clear as wine." , The middle man wants to be drunk.”

Lao Ke randomly clicked on a monster and ordered it to rush back to the station and report to the commander. In no time, the Ghost Fire River brought more than ten monsters to the mountain col. Lao Ke's tongue blossomed with lotus flowers, and he selected the water source. Hou Mute dug through the belly of the mountain, picked up its essence, and said a few words with great concentration. Onihuokawa was noncommittal and took a sip of the lake water. His eyebrows moved slightly and he praised it.

The hole/eye was no bigger than the mouth of a bowl, with intertwined canine teeth, and the darkness was bottomless. Onihuokawa ordered his men to cut down the pine forest, hollow out the core wood, and connected it into a water dragon several feet long. The blood energy burned a string of blood talismans at the mouth of the water dragon, and the cold lake water gurgled out. Everyone took turns to come forward and have a drink, and the heat was gone for a while.

Wei Shiqi knew the ways of talismans very well. The restrictions, secret talismans, divine talismans, ghost talismans, demonic patterns, earth talismans, fairy talismans, and golden talismans were all understood in his mind. The abyss monsters burned the runes with their blood and energy, and The three realms are very different and have their own mysteries. He secretly paid attention and realized that Lao Ke's thrush was not envious of this. After thinking about it for a while, he guessed that the blood talisman was just a trail and had no use in a bloody battle. With such skills, it would be better to temper his body and sharpen his claws and claws.

The Ghost Fire River left a group of monsters to guard the water dragon and lured Lao Ke and others back.

After moving to the station, he ordered the monsters under his command to go to drink water in turn and not to fight for it noisily. The most indispensable thing in the pine forest is firewood. Dozens of blazing bonfires have already been lit in the camp. On the fires, there are beasts standing on top of each other. They are dripping with blood and have not been disemboweled and skinned. The smell of burning fur is mixed with the aroma of rosin, which attracts The monsters were all salivating.

When it was roasted to about seventy-eighth point, the monsters swarmed up, tearing off large pieces of half-cooked animal meat, regardless of thickness, and devoured it like a group of hungry ghosts reincarnated.

Standing in the shade of a tree, Ghost Fire River watched with cold eyes. He saw the wood thrush using its brute force to snatch a piece of good meat, tore it into pieces and handed it to his companions. Lao Ke happily munched it, but Han Shiba and Hou Dumb were not big. Appreciate it, but it seems that the meat of the beast is too fishy and rough to be eaten. Hou Muteba scratched his ears and cheeks for a moment, feeling greedy in his belly. He tugged on Han Shiba's sleeves and raised his neck to drink. Han Shiba touched his head and shook his head in rejection. Hou Muteba was full of enthusiasm. Lost, unhappy.

The thought in Gui Huochuan's mind was that the mute Hou was still in his monkey body and seemed to be Han Shiba's pet, which was rare. Seeing how picky they are about their food, and how mute they are, they must also be addicted to alcohol. They must have some background, and they are not stupid monsters fending for themselves in the wilderness.

After eating enough meat and drinking enough water, he found a cool place and fell asleep. There was no time to move, and the sound of snoring was like thunder, one after another. Wei Shiqi leaned under the pine tree, raised his head and looked up at the sky, quietly watching the red sun in the sky. The iron monkey was curled up at his feet, silently, one person and one monkey, looking abrupt and strange.

After resting for several hours, Onihuokawa ordered the monsters under his command to get up and continue marching to sweep the pine forest. No one dared to disobey the order. The result of being alone and leaving the team would be to become the target of massacre by the other thousand-man team. The strength must also keep up with the steps of the captain.

Braving the scorching heat of the red sun, they marched quickly over mountains and ridges, mopping up fleeing monsters, enforcing orders, tempering their bodies, and weeding out the weak. The thousand-man team under Onihuokawa's command was gradually reduced in number, but it also had a bit of an elite feel.

There is no cloud in the sky, only the sun rises, but no sunset is seen. On this day, ten suns appear in the sky together. Dead branches and scorched trees can be seen everywhere in the pine forest. The Oni Fire River stopped and raised his hand to rest on the spot. The monster staggered Staggering, panting like a dog, they collapsed to the ground like empty bags, unable to run again.

Onihuokawa narrowed his eyes and glanced away. Among the thousands of people in the team, the number of people who stood up straight and did not lie down was less than the number of hands. As expected, Han Shibahou, the mute, was very strong, as if nothing happened, and the wood thrush was slightly tired. , his chest heaved and puffed out puffs of hot air. To his surprise, Lao Ke half leaned on the wood thrush and managed to hold on.

He nodded with satisfaction, and the march and sweep was over. Among the thousand-man team summoned this time, these seven or eight strong men stood out. If they were lucky enough to survive the attack on the Hundred Years Valley and capture enough blood, they might become the elites under General Tudor. A brave general.

In the sky on the tenth day, the heat was as majestic as the tide. The Ghost Fire River waited for the monsters under its command to take a breath, and ordered them to get up, cut down the pine trees, and put up a number of rain shelters. They had to complete the work within one hour without any mistakes. Wei Shiqi was quite surprised. Could it be that the Ghost Fire River was able to calculate and foresee that a heavy rain would fall on the Wanhe Pine Forest in an hour?

Lao Ke discerned the words and explained a few words in a low voice. After ten days of traveling in the sky, they all fell into the abyss. What followed was a heavy rain. If you didn't avoid it in time, the chill would penetrate into your organs. If you are physically strong, you would naturally have nothing to fear. But of this thousand-man team, I am afraid that only half of them will fall ill and will not be able to make it in time for the battle of the Hundred Years Valley.

Wei Shiqi knew that he would be wrong, nodded slightly, ordered Iron Monkey to help him, and watched on the wall with his hands behind his back. Onihuokawa watched with cold eyes, and felt more and more that he had an extraordinary origin. He was most likely a general who was defeated in a bloody battle, and his injuries had not healed, which was why he ended up like this. However, it was not his turn to comment on such a person with a background, a story, and he could just pretend to be ignorant and secretly report to General Qi to make a decision.

General Qi's name was "He", which was the general who shouted loudly at the top of the mountain that day. He was highly regarded by Tudor and relied on him as his left arm and right arm.

The east is dim and lightless, and the tenth round of the red sun finally descends to the western sky. The wind is blowing and the clouds are flowing, the glow is endless, the heat quickly recedes, and the slightest coolness comes quietly. Onihuokawa let out a long sigh and murmured: "The long night is coming..." Before he finished speaking, ten sets of sunsets rose and fell, like a jumping pill, and suddenly sank into the abyss. After more than a hundred breaths, the wind howled and the clouds gathered, The heavy rain fell from the sky, like thousands of sharp swords, striking the pine forest in thousands of valleys.

The team of 1,000 people hid under a crude rain shelter, huddled together to keep warm. They were silent and could only hear the sound of rain.
