C40 (2/2)

Chen Chu reached out and patted his shoulder, ”There's no reason, Mo Qiu is to the north, that's the reason.” After he finished speaking, he strode forward, chasing after the Xiu'er who had already walked far away.

Although the Xiu'er's method looked simple and effective, there was a very fatal problem, and that was the Demonic Beast. As I said before, the Demonic Beast's five senses far surpasses a human's, and its combat power is also extremely strong. The only way for the small group to find their way out was to distinguish the tracks left behind by the Demonic Beast through experience. They would avoid the possible Demonic Beast realms and find a safe path to walk on. But since the Xiu'er did not talk about it, she decided to focus on the north. It was for nothing else but to be the closest line between the two points. If one left the Wulian Mountain Range earlier, one day earlier would be able to arrive at the Moqiu. If they were to start a war in the native area of Black Hill City as soon as possible, they would be able to lift the siege of Phoenix City Pass a day earlier.

In the beginning, one or two days, strong man was still worried about whether there would be a sneak attack from the Demonic Beast. Not only was he nervous, he had also specifically instructed his brothers in Wulian Border Army to wake up from their sleep when walking. The order of the Lord Xiu was executed without a discount, but he had to be clear that the Lord Xiu did not have any experience in the forest, and if the Demonic Beast really came out, everyone had to be alerted in time, and be prepared in advance.

But after five consecutive days, strong man's worries were a little excessive. Forget about Demonic Beast s, they hadn't even seen a few normal pythons or wild dogs. If one were to think more carefully, it seemed that there were not even that many mosquitoes. The day before yesterday, strong man was so tired that he forgot to wipe off the mosquito repellent medicinal herbs.

Thinking about it, the way strong man looked at Xiu'er became a little different. This was not a silly lass who acted on her own whims. Even if she was, she must have had abilities that others did not have, abilities that even she did not know about.

However, no matter how much strong man thought about it, none of those things that happened frequently in the mountain forest happened. Just like that, Xiu'er led an army of less than a thousand people and passed through the Wulian Mountain Range like a miracle. Apart from the fact that their marching speed had not increased, they did not encounter any problems that they might encounter in the forest. There were only five non-combatants on this trek, three of whom refused to listen to advice and had a bad stomach, and two of whom had worn their feet because their shoes were inappropriate.

Looking at the gradually thinning forest, strong man sighed in his heart. From the looks of it, he would be able to walk out of the Wulian Mountain Range in two or three days. As a member of the Empire's army that had passed through the Wulian Mountain Range, he actually didn't feel any sense of accomplishment. Why is this so?

But at this moment, whether it was Xiu'er, Chen Chu or Qu Feizhi, none of them had the mood to care about strong man's feelings. What they cared about was the person in front of them. A person who shouldn't have appeared here at all.

About ten meters away from Xiu'er was a small clearing. An ancient tree that had already withered was lying on the ground. Sitting on the thick tree trunk was a woman, a beautiful woman.

Although she was sitting, one could still tell that this woman was not short at all. She was facing something that appeared to be in her thirties or forties. Her hair was tied in a bun and she wore a cloak that reached to the ground. Her lips were red, her teeth were white, and her two peach shaped eyes looked at Xiu'er with a smile that was not a smile. Although she was in the forest and was alone, her temperament was extraordinary. There was no lack of dignity within her charm. She looked ordinary, but she also possessed an imposing aura that made people feel that she was inviolable.

Without waiting for Xiu'er to speak, Qu Feizhi had already strode forward and spoke to the lady in a clear voice: ”Madam, what advice do you have to block my army?”

The woman raised her head and looked at Qu Feizhi, and gently opened her mouth saying, ”This master, your great army's crossing the border has caused this servant to receive quite a bit of shock. I am still fine, but my family is much younger, and I grumble incessantly in my ear every day. When I heard this, I became agitated, so I risked my life to meet all of you, and I hope that you can come up with an idea for me. ”

Qu Feizhi did not know how he replied, but all he saw were mountains and forests, where did these families come from? Since there was no one else here, how could he invade this place? Where did all this come from?

Before he could even react, Chen Chu had already stepped forward, unsheathed his blade with a whoosh, and shouted sternly, ”Stop talking nonsense, cut a path!”

The lady raised her eyes and looked straight at Chen Chu, her torch-like gaze actually made Chen Chu panic in his heart. Who is Chen Chu? To be able to go head to head with Kong Sheng with his Castellan Mansion, yet to be stared at by a woman to the point of panic, it was as if the one sitting in front of him was not a woman, but a hundred armored Demonic Beast.

Who is this woman? What kind of background?

Without waiting for Chen Chu to move again, a jade-like hand gently pulled, pulling Chen Chu back a step, following that, a red figure appeared in front of Chen Chu, blocking the attack. Chen Chu immediately felt the pressure lessening, and his entire mind became much clearer.

The Xiu'er said indifferently, ”The two generals, please stay at the back. This lady should be looking for me.”

The woman laughed heartily for a while and then said, ”I didn't guess wrong, it really is you.”

Xiu'er frowned slightly, ”Madam, if you say this, I won't understand. Let's just get straight to the point. ”

She stretched out a finger and hooked it towards Xiu'er, ”I have private matters to discuss with you for a while. I wonder if Miss dares to come? ”
