Chapter Five Hundred and Fortieth Pathfinding
The low walls were burned to black, and a leg that had been gnawed by wild wolves, with only broken bones left behind. I don’t know what the people under the rubble looked like. At that time, Ruan Tengyuan ordered all the mountain people to go to Chengguan with him. Without waiting for the villagers to react, the soldiers burned the village with fire. Most of them didn’t have time to bring anything with them. They were driven into Anzi Mountain with bare hands and bare hands.
There were a few wild wolves in the distance who were unwilling to leave, standing on the high slope, looking down at this side.
Chen Leng walked around the village, but he didn't expect to find anything in the village. Ruan Tengyuan took away people, and talent was the key.
"There is a small road outside the village to enter the mountains. Have you ever been there?"
Chen Leng asked Hong Zhao.
Scouts Zheng Hongzhao nodded: "I have been in. The path should have been taken out by villagers and hunters. It will disappear within five miles of the mountain. From a distance, the mountain is not connected to Anzi Mountain. Beizhi led the team to walk a distance. There are many tigers and leopards in the mountains. That day, a fierce tiger was shot, but there were no footprints. It seems that even villagers and hunters have never entered such a deep place."
Chen Leng nodded and lowered his head to think.
If these villagers didn't know that there was a small path leading to Anzi Mountain, then Ruan Tengyuan took them away just to prevent problems before they happened. He was just worried that some of the villagers would know, but this was enough to prove that the road existed.
He didn't need so many slaves at all. The grain warehouse in the mountains was limited, the food was limited, and there were hundreds of people. Ruan Tengyuan had to divide the food for less than tens of thousands of troops.
"Chasing the Wolf."
Chen Leng suddenly said something.
Everyone was stunned.
"Chasing the Wolf?"
Chen Ran looked at Chen Leng: "General is going to hunt at this time?"
Chen Leng didn't say anything, took off the black thread knife from the side of the war horse and hung it on his back, and then brought all the crossbows, hard bows, ropes, and things he could carry. Although the soldiers did not know what the general's intention was, they had already brought all the equipment they could use at the same time.
"Wang Kuohai, you will take fifty people here to wait."
Chen Leng waved his hand: "Others come up with me."
This time, all the elites of the scouts were brought. To put it simply, if we were to measure it, it would be not a fantasy for ordinary Daning soldiers to push six or seven or even eight or nine villagers by one person. One punch would knock down one person, and the scouts were the outstanding people selected from each army. One person was not a fantasy for seven or eight soldiers.
The group of wild wolves stood on the high slope and stared at Chen Leng and others. Unexpectedly, those people came directly towards this side. At first, they just roared and threatened, but later they found that the people were not afraid at all, so they were afraid. After all, they knew that the other party had a large number of people, so they turned around and ran away.
The wild wolves were walking through the mountains very fast. If it weren't for Chen Leng and the elite, they wouldn't have kept up for so long. They ran into the mountains in one breath. In order to make the wild wolves even more afraid, Chen Leng shot two of them, chopped off the wolf's head, applied the wolf's head to chase with his body with wolf blood, waved the wolf's head to chase. How dare the remaining wolves think about counterattacks? The wolf escaped with his tail and the dog escaped with his tail.
Chen Leng and the others chased after more than half an hour, and the mountains were getting more and more dangerous. When the wild wolves first ran to the top of the mountain, there was a roar of tigers on it. The wolves then ran in another direction. Chen Leng and the others were very tired, but their years of running and practicing made them not much physically worry.
After another half an hour, the wild wolves seemed to have no way out. They crawled into the grass in the distance. Chen Leng and the others chased each other. The grass feet were as high as their waists. In order to prevent the wild wolves from being forced to counterattack, the five people were on guard against each other.
But strangely, the wild wolf disappeared without a trace when it arrived.
I walked back and forth in the grass several times, but I got nothing.
Hong Zhao squatted down and looked carefully for a while, shook her head: "Even the claw marks were not left, could it really disappear out of thin air?"
"The wolf has not become an immortal again."
Chen Ran looked around: "It is impossible to disappear out of thin air."
At this moment, a wild wolf suddenly appeared in the distance, as if he was looking back to see if the person chasing it was still there. Chen Ran subconsciously picked up the crossbow and shot it in a burst of light. The crossbow arrows hit him. The wolf screamed and turned around and ran away. When Chen Ran and the others chased him nearby, they found that the wolf was gone again.
"It's really a fucking ghost."
Chen Ran shot a few crossbow arrows into other grasses. It would be better to throw the stone into the sea. At least there was a wave. The crossbow arrow hit the grasses without even a decent sound.
“There is blood.”
Chen Leng looked down and saw that there were some dark spots on the moss on the cliff. If he didn't pay attention, he could not find it. He squatted down and wiped it with his fingers, got up and pulled out the black-line knife. The knife slashed at the vines hanging on the cliff. After several slashes, the vines were cut a lot. Chen Leng used the knife to push it away, and there was a crack behind it.
The entrance to the crack was not big, so he barely let a person squeeze in sideways. The cold and cold made people lit the torch into the crack. The light lit up in the darkness. A wild wolf curled up there in the corner screamed, rubbing against the stone wall and squeezed it in. However, half a crossbow arrow was inserted into its body, and it couldn't squeeze into the narrower mountain crack inside. It squeezed hard, and the severe pain caused by the crossbow arrow made it tremble in pain.
Chen Leng raised his hand, shot the wild wolf at a few crossbows, and asked Chen Ran and the others to come to help. He cut off a large piece of the vine with a random knife, and the crack was completely exposed, but it was too narrow. When the wild wolf entered, he was afraid that he would have to line up one by one.
“It’s narrower inside.”
Chen Ran volunteered: "I'll go in and take a look."
Go forward and come back: "Switch to a thin one."
Chen Leng looked at Chen Ran's belly disgusted, and Chen Ran smiled embarrassedly: "What can I do? The same training, I have a body full of tendons, but my belly can't lose weight."
Chen Leng: "Others eat three meals a day, and you eat eight meals a day."
Chen Ran: "Three days are okay, but eight days are a little tired."
Chen Leng: "Can you even blow it even more evil?"
Chen Ran: "The general misunderstood. In fact, three meals a day are not the quantity, but the length of time. It means that I have eaten three meals a day and eight meals a day."
Chen Leng glared at him, untied all the equipment on his body, and brought only a short knife in. The crack was too narrow, and the black-line knife was useless.
After squeezing in, the smell of blood became richer. The wolf was not dead for a while, and his belly was still slightly agitating.
Chen Leng pulled the wolf corpse aside and looked at the crack inside. As soon as he leaned over his eyes, a wolf head suddenly appeared and his fangs were already in front of him.
Chen Leng suddenly raised his head back, and the short knife in his right hand stabbed into the wild wolf's chin from below. He raised his left hand and grabbed the wolf's upper mouth and pulled it outward. He directly pulled the wild wolf out of the crack. He stepped on the wolf's body with one foot. The short knife quickly inserted it back into the skin on the waist. He grabbed the wolf's mouth with both hands and broke it up and down, and broke it with a click. The wolf's mouth was squeezed out a few wails. Chen Leng kicked it aside with one foot, picked up the torch that had been thrown in before and threw it into the crack in front. The place where the light shone was quite small.
"I have to go in."
Chen Leng shouted to the outside, took a breath, and squeezed his stomach into the narrow place with his slim stomach. Hong Zhao was the second to enter the crack. When he came in, Chen Leng had already reached a deeper place.
At the same time, Anzishan Chengguan.
Ruan Tengyuan sat there looking at the group of people kneeling in front of him, his face cold.
"You hunters in Anzishan know the best. You guys are there when I ordered the construction of the granary."
These hunters are not too young. The elders are in their fifties and sixties, and the younger ones are in their forties.
One of them quickly replied: "Go back to your Majesty, when I was building a granary, I was summoned to the army as a guide."
"Then I ask you, how many places in this mountain can access the granary?"
“It shouldn’t be much.”
Hunter lowered his head and said, "I chose this place as a granary back then because the natural cave was too big. If it weren't for a chance, who would have thought that there were so many cracks in the mountain. The granary was the largest crack. It's just that why the hollowness was unknown, or if there was an earthquake that broke a long time ago, the mountain cracked a lot, and this part of the cracks slid a lot."
"But your Majesty doesn't need to worry. Although there are many cracks in the mountain, they may not necessarily lead to this side. The cracks are intertwined and you will be trapped in the mountain forever if you are not careful. No god can come out. Even if Ningren found some cracks, they may be half-section and they will disappear halfway. Even if there are other cracks connected, they may not be connected to this side. Your Majesty only needs to order all the cracks to be blocked with big stones."
His eyes flashed as he said these words, as if he was hiding something.
In fact, there was indeed a crack that could reach the mountains. He and several villagers knew that later, they took risks and sneaked in and stole food from here many times. It was safer than hunting and facing jackals, tigers and leopards. The most important thing was the salt storage in the granary.
In their opinion, salt is more important than food.
But how dare he say it?
"I have issued an order to seal it."
Ruan Tengyuan breathed a little relieved: "You guys know Anzishan best, so they have worked so hard these days. I will block all suspicious places with my subordinates and soldiers. Try to find them. If you do well, I will definitely have a reward."
The hunters kowtowed quickly, and how could they say more?
One hour later.
In the mountains.
Shen Leng emerged from the crack, covered in dust.
"It seems to be out of reach."
Chen Leng shook his head: "It's about dozens of feet away that I can't go in. But I don't see those wild wolves, and there are other cracks, so I can't search them one by one."
He ordered as he walked: "Come more scouts and explore the cracks."
