The burst of white flame pillars broke through the cover of the jungle and rushed directly into the sky.
The aftermath of the flames exploded and even overturned several heavy armored infantry soldiers who were chasing after them. The magician Basil fell from the air on a magic harpoon, took out the 'hydrotherapy' magic scroll from his arms, and opened the scroll.
, a force of water element turned into a silver glow and fell on Gulitem.
The ogre's own powerful recovery force is also constantly forcing the belly of the abdomen to squirm and close the wound.
Although the two-headed ogre was a little embarrassed, the situation was not that bad.
"How are you?"
Wolf knight Tago came over with a war blade and asked the two-headed ogre.
Gulitem looked down at the slowly recovering wound. Young Drew Yinlani used a hemostatic bandage to make a temporary bandage for him. Gulitem grinned and cursed: "This guy didn't even return his hand and just blew himself up."
, so damn cruel..."
The wolf knight looked back at the evil ghost flag that exploded into countless ash. His eyes showed a trace of clear thinking that he only had during battle. He said to the two-headed ogre: "He should be calling for reinforcements. Let's start with
We’ll talk about it later when we withdraw from here.”
Drew Yinlani stood up, turned around and pointed through the gaps in the jungle to the direction of the river valley and said to everyone:
"Look across the river valley..."
The magician Basil followed Dru Yin's gaze and saw some ghost warriors appearing on the rocky beach on the other side of the river valley, and one after another ghost warriors were emerging from the jungle on the other side of the river valley.
The magician Basil shouted in surprise: "How come there are so many evil spirits..."
During the previous investigation, he knew that there were some evil ghost warriors on the opposite side, but he did not expect that there would be so many.
The ghost warriors could throw short flying spears into the sky, so Basil did not dare to fly at low altitude in the forest area where the ghost warriors were infested. This was the main reason why he failed to detect this ghost army.
I originally thought that there might only be a few dozen hunting ghosts here, but now there are more than a hundred ghosts appearing on the other side of the river valley, and there are still ghosts emerging from the woods at this moment.
"The evil ghost hunting group we encountered turned out to be a piece of fat..." The injured two-headed ogre couldn't help but clicked his tongue when he saw the evil ghost warriors in the river valley.
"What should I do?" Tago asked Gulitem.
Gulitem said without thinking: "Since we can't deal with it, let's retreat quickly!"
He turned to look at the annoyed magician, and then said: "Magic Basil, please go back quickly to deliver a message to Dark and the others, and ask the boss to come and meet us."
The magician Basil flew up on his magic harpoon, flew around the tree trunk twice in the forest, and then asked Gulitem:
"Without me guiding you in the sky, can you find the way you came?"
Wolf Knight Tago replied affirmatively: "No problem, with Bonita here, we can definitely return along the original route."
The magician glanced at the silver frost wolf and hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Then be careful."
After saying that, he rode the magic handle and flew in the forest. He was worried about attracting the evil spirits in the river valley and did not dare to fly out of the woods, so he rode the magic handle back and forth in the woods until he was flying parallel to the forest.
After walking a kilometer away, he suddenly raised the tiller, slipped out from the gap in the canopy of trees above his head, and shot up into the sky in an instant.
The evil ghosts in the river valley were searching in the direction where the evil ghost Xiaoqi Chang detonated the explosion. Suddenly, they found a human mage flying out of the mountain forest to the north, and a group of people immediately chased him.
The two-headed ogre Gulitmu did not dare to stay any longer. He just bandaged the wound hastily, and Gulitmu urged the wolf knight to lead the way quickly.
Tiger rode the frost wolf Bonita at the front, Drew Yinlani commanded ten ghost-patterned soldier ants, carrying nine heavy armored infantry warriors and followed the wolf knight closely, while Gulitem carried the
The big stick comes last.
Soldier ants march very quickly, and the more rugged and complex the terrain, the more their speed advantage is highlighted.
In this way, the two-headed ogre's reconnaissance team rode ghost-striped soldier ants quickly over the mountains on the west side of the Samosto River and quickly evacuated towards the way they came...
…
Just as their front legs had just climbed over the mountains on the west side, the vanguard warrior of the evil ghost army had already found its way to the battlefield in the forest.
Although several evil ghost warriors had been eaten by ghost-striped soldier ants, the remains left at the scene still allowed the evil ghosts to tell at a glance that another companion had died in the battle.
When the evil general arrived here, he saw the wreckage after the explosion and the ground was in a mess.
Many trees and broken vines were covered in blood, and fragments of broken bone armor were scattered everywhere.
The evil general roared with uncontrollable anger and punched an oak tree, his entire arm being buried in the trunk.
"Follow the scent they left behind and continue to chase them. Call the hunters scattered in the mountains nearby to find them for me!"
With a wave of his hand, the evil general terminated the legion's ongoing hunting mission and prepared to pursue Gulitem's reconnaissance team with all his strength.
It has been a long time since the evil spirits encountered such a naked provocation. They passed this message to each other and spread out in the jungle with howls.
A large group of evil ghost warriors crossed the Samosto River and began to search for Gulitem's reconnaissance team across the mountains and plains.
The two-headed ogre was injured in the abdomen, and his violent running during the retreat caused the wound in his abdomen to burst again, so the reconnaissance team could only slow down the retreat slightly.
Fortunately, the two-headed ogre has the strongest recovery power, and his physique is also very good. He can still walk quickly in the jungle while covering the wound on his abdomen with one hand.
With her excellent sense of smell, Bonita always rushed to the front.
After crossing the second mountain ridge, the Frost Wolf finally stopped on the mountain ridge. It jumped lightly and escaped to a sudden rock, and its eyes fell on the hillside in front of it.
The wolf knight, who was connected to it spiritually, immediately saw a team of evil ghosts coming up from the bottom of the hillside.
This team of evil ghosts actually blocked the only way for them to retreat, and also moved quickly towards their location. The group did not expect that a team of evil ghosts would appear behind them, and they would completely retreat.
stop.
Looking back, I saw that the group of evil spirits behind me had already surrounded me from the bottom of the hillside.
On the way back, there were ghost warriors intercepting him. Gulitem didn't want to fight at this time. He discussed it with the wolf knight Tago, but had no choice but to give up the original retreat and quickly retreat in the other direction of the west hillside.
.
Along the way, the aboriginal man Drew Yinlani constantly controlled some trees and vines to block where they passed.
Unfortunately, these ghost warriors rely on scent to track them up, so the camouflage along the way is useless.
In this forest with thick trees, once the magician Basil is not available to guide the way in the air, he can only climb to the ridge to observe the terrain. However, once he gets into the trees, it is easy to become overgrown with weeds.
There is a direction deviation in the mountain forest.
At the same time, we must avoid the evil spirits who intercept us halfway, and we must continue to retreat westward over mountains and ridges even at night.
Because the reconnaissance team deviated too far from the original path and could not see the surrounding scenery at night, Gulitm ran with the reconnaissance team all night. It was not until dawn when he was standing on the mountainside that he realized that the team had actually climbed up an isolated peak.
The evil ghost warriors who were chasing after them had already reached the foot of the mountain, and it was impossible to retreat.
The only way now is to climb over this lonely peak. After all, the ghost-striped soldier ants of the reconnaissance team can easily climb these rock walls.
It was only when everyone climbed to the top of the peak that Gulitem stepped on a huge rock and looked to the other side of the mountain. Only then did he realize that there was no way to go on the other side of the mountain. On the other side was a cliff hundreds of meters high.
.
At this time, it was impossible for the reconnaissance team to leave along the side of the mountain.
The evil spirits at the foot of the mountain are like a giant hand, completely surrounding the mountain.
After running all night, even if the energetic ghost-patterned soldier ants slowed down, the heavy armored infantry soldiers standing on the heads of the ghost-patterned soldier ants were also swaying, and the wolf knight stood beside Gulitem.
, looking at the cliffs and valleys hundreds of meters high in front of him, he immediately shouted a string of curses in the orc language.
Even Bonita the Frostwolf let out a whimper.
"There is no road ahead, everyone rest where they are."
Gulitem sat down on the boulder, and then couldn't help but look down the cliff.
Several heavy armored infantry soldiers jumped down from the heads of the ghost-patterned soldier ants. When they saw the deep stream behind them, a trace of despair appeared in their eyes.
They were veterans of Lord Surdak's army. They often fought on the battlefield. Naturally, they had a somewhat indifferent view of life and death. They sat next to the rocks and did not complain at all. They just kept silent.
He took out the marching rations he had brought with him, tore open the slits in the brown paper and poured them into his mouth.
Then he sat by the boulder, closed his eyes, chewed silently, drank a sip of water when his mouth felt dry, and continued to rest.
These veterans have experienced many battles and know what is best for them at times like this.
Tiger, the wolf knight, leaned next to Gulitem and said to him: "Why don't we just rush back later? As long as we break through the blockade at the foot of their mountain, we may still have some chances!"
"No chance, there are too many evil spirits down there." Gulitem shook his head and said angrily.
"Come on, look here..."
Drew Yinlani stood next to the cliff, leaning forward and looking down into the deep stream, and then shouted to Gulitem and Tago.
With a puzzled look on his face, Gulitem moved closer to the cliff, imitating Drew Yinlani's example, and looked down into the deep stream.
I saw a crack in the rock wall dozens of meters below the deep stream.
"These ghost-striped soldier ants can climb freely on the cliff, so we can hide in the crevices over there." Drew Yinlani patted the thick and hard thigh of a ghost-striped soldier ant and said to Gu
Litem said.
Hearing Drew Yinlani say this, Gulitem's eyes lit up: "This is a good note."
"I'll go over and take a look first..."
Drew Yinlani jumped on the back of a ghost-striped soldier ant, urging it to climb the rock wall and walk towards the crevice.
As expected, the ghost-striped soldier ant can easily climb the cliff with its six legs.
Dru Yinlani reached the edge of the stone crevice and was about to explore inside. A large group of red-eyed bats rushed out of the stone crevice, scaring Lanni to quickly retract his head.
After a while, all the red-eyed bats flew out of the cracks in the rocks, and Lanny plucked up the courage to explore inside again.
It didn't take long for Drew Yinlani to emerge from the crack in the stone, lay directly on the back of the soldier ant's crest, and then returned to the top of the cliff.
"How is it?" Gulitem asked impatiently:
"The entrance is narrow, but the space inside is large. It should be a red-eyed bat's nest. We can hide in it!" Drew Yinlani said happily.
"Without further ado, let the soldier ants send them there first, and we will leave last!" Gulitem said decisively.
Several heavy armored infantry soldiers didn't even have time to swallow the last mouthful of dry food in their mouths. They saluted Gulitem, and then climbed onto the ant's back one after another, along the path they had just explored, and climbed to
Inside the crevices under the cliff.
Gulitem and Wolf Knight Tago were the last to evacuate from the top of the mountain. The Wolf Knight had to hold the frost wolf Bonita, and Gulitem was a little overweight. The ghost-patterned soldier ants carried them both as they crawled on the rock wall.
While walking, some gravel kept falling into the deep stream, and the last echo could not be heard until a few seconds later.
When Gulitem got into the red-eyed bat nest, he found that there was almost some bat guano under the stone cracks. Fortunately, everyone was wearing standard boots, so they stepped on the excrement and walked inside.
.
The space inside the stone crevice is very large, only the entrance is a little narrow.
"It's not bad here!" The two-headed ogre walked into the crevice of the rock wall and couldn't help but praise: "We only need to stop those evil ghosts later. As long as the leader comes with a large force, we will
You can cooperate inside and outside to fight back..."
In fact, when the evil spirits climbed to the top of the mountain, they found that the top of the mountain that was supposed to be a battlefield was empty, and they began to search everywhere.
They even sent several teams of ghost detectives to search the deep valley below the cliff, but unfortunately they were unable to find Gulitem and his party.
If those red-eyed bats hadn't returned to their nests again in the evening and launched an attack on the intruders like Gulitem, the evil spirits would never have imagined that these people would actually hide in the stone crevices halfway up the cliff.
However, even if they discovered the whereabouts of Gulitem and others, the evil ghost warriors could only return to the jungle to collect bundles of vines. They wove the vines into tough ropes and hung them from the top of the cliff before sending the evil spirits out.
The ghost warrior followed the vines and slipped into the cracks in the rocks.
Gulitem and Wolf Knight Tago, who were waiting below, were waiting for work and killed several evil ghost warriors in the crevices of the rocks.
The Gulitem reconnaissance team stayed in the crevices for a day and a night.
Facing the attacks of the evil ghost warriors, all the ten ghost-patterned soldier ants they brought were killed. Two heavy armored infantrymen also died in the chaos. Three heavy armored warriors were injured. The wolf knight Tiger suffered a little.
Minor injuries.
At noon on the third day, Gulitem saw a group of magicians riding magic harpoons suddenly appear in the sky on the other side of the cliff.
