Li Ling did not dare to venture too far, and only dared to wander near the center of the ice and snow plain, so as not to expose his whereabouts. Moreover, due to the relationship between the stones, there was almost no grass growing in this area, and everything was covered with grass.
The crystal-clear thousand-year-old ice, at a glance, is tens of thousands of meters of ice smooth as a mirror.
"Grandpa Black Dragon, can you help me take a look and see if there is anyone ambushing me nearby?" Li Ling was still very worried and did not dare to go out of the dense forest. He just wandered around in the dense forest.
In the past, when the mob stone was around, no one dared to approach it, so there was no ambush. But now, the mob stone is gone, and the place has returned to its previous calm. Anyone can pass through here. What Li Ling is worried about is
Experts such as the princesses of Longyang County would set up an ambush nearby in order to find out the reason for the disappearance of the gangster stone. In that case, if Li Ling went out at this moment, he would become the most suspicious person.
"You'd better be careful." Hei Long just said this sentence. In fact, it was as if he didn't say it. Who would dare to be careless in this situation.
Li Ling sighed slightly, pretending that Black Dragon said nothing, but Li Ling couldn't just hide around here, and time didn't allow it.
"Since we can't go across, I'll stay away and go from the side." Li Ling still didn't dare to go through the center. Once those guys discovered it, Li Ling wouldn't be finished.
"Well, it's better to be careful and don't be careless. From the moment you take away the rogue stone, you have to temporarily put your tail between your legs and behave like a human being. Otherwise, others will do you." Black Dragon said teasingly.
Li Ling frowned. He didn't expect Heilong to say some sarcastic words at this time. He couldn't help but sigh: "Grandpa Heilong, I'm not a dog. Your description is too inappropriate."
Black Dragon stopped talking and became silent. Li Ling felt very aggrieved.[
If he really had to go around a long way, the distance Li Ling would have to walk would be more than five times as long as before. Moreover, there are many mountains around and the cliffs are very steep, making it very difficult to climb. Calculated based on the normal traveling speed, Li Ling would have to spend
It took nearly ten times as long to get back to the camp.
It would take Li Ling up to ten days to cross the ice and snow plain, but it would take Li Ling a month and a half to get around the ice and snow plain. After a month and a half, Li Ling really couldn't imagine what would happen over there at the camp? But there was no use worrying about this.
, Li Ling could only try his best to rush back.
In order to save time, Li Ling almost always flew close to the ground, day and night. When encountering cliffs, Li Ling flew directly from above. In terms of flying speed, Li Ling was indeed very slow.
However, after using the elixir to replenish his physical and mental strength to repair his nerves, Li Ling broke through the record of not having a wink for half a month and passed through the ice and snow plains stretching thousands of miles across the mountains.
After falling back to the ground, Li Ling was exhausted from traveling day and night. If he could get some sleep, Li Ling would definitely take the time to fall asleep. Unfortunately, time did not allow it now.
Another three days of traveling. Li Ling arrived at the camp a month earlier than expected. When he arrived at the camp, Li Ling was surprised to find that the camp had been burned to the ground, and almost all the tents had been carbonized.
Thick black smoke.
Looking at the dilapidated camp, Li Ling didn't know what it felt like, but things had happened. All Li Ling could do at this moment was to investigate what exactly happened here?
"Grandpa Black Dragon, could it be that the officers of Longyang County discovered that the Mangshi disappeared and the people here had no use value, so they burned the place to the ground." Li Ling said calmly after gathering himself.
"It's possible that sex is not absent, but it doesn't rule out that they committed suicide and killed each other to cause the disaster here." Black Dragon thought from another angle.
"Impossible. If it was a 'suicide' massacre, there should be corpses left here. But at this moment, it seems that there are no corpses in the camp. It was obvious that they were moved away collectively, and then the camp was destroyed. The gangsters disappeared and the camp
It has no value of existence." Li Ling analyzed.
Li Ling walked to the center of the camp, kicked away the burnt charcoal under his feet, and searched for some clues in the camp. However, except for some burnt tents and charcoal, there was nothing in the camp, and the place became empty.
The camp of "Dang" and "Dang".
"Hurry to Longyang County and have a look." Li Ling knew it was useless to waste time here, so he decided to go to Longyang County to have a look. Originally, Li Ling was still very sleepy, but when he encountered such a strange thing, Li Ling
I no longer feel sleepy at all, but I desperately want to figure out what is going on?
On the way back to Longyang County, Li Ling discovered bright red blood stains along the way, but the blood stains had dried up. The climate in this area was not as cold as that in the camp, so the blood stains had turned into blood clots on some of the ground.
Li Ling stopped, squatted down, dipped his fingers into the blood stains, and rubbed it a few times. He could almost conclude that the blood stains were human blood stains. Moreover, there were too many blood stains nearby, causing some bloodthirsty animals to move around.
Also appear frequently, such as bobcats, wild wolves, lions, and tigers.
"Judging from these blood stains, it should be the blood stains left when the body was transported after someone was killed. Could it be that the people in the camp were really massacred and then transported to a secret place for burial.
"The more Li Ling thought about it, the angrier he became. If the rogue stone was broken, he should have let these reinforcements go. But why was the result just the opposite? [
Is the result the opposite? Li Ling can only continue to trace the bloodstains, hoping that things are not as terrible as Li Ling imagined.
Li Ling followed the blood stains and pursued them all the way. The air seemed to be filled with a strong smell of blood. The beasts around him would retreat when they saw the angry Li Ling. Li Ling's anger was too terrifying.
Looking back on the past six months, although Li Ling did not have a deep relationship with the reinforcements, based on everyone's trust, Li Ling led everyone to victory many times and had an extra burden on his shoulders. But at this moment, it seems that
Everything has returned to its original state.
Li Ling also thought a lot along the way, but his only mood at the moment is that he urgently wants to know what happened.
After chasing for a distance of ten miles, the blood stains on the road became less and less. When he arrived at the desolate area and an empty loess square, Li Ling was shocked. It was a huge earth pit, and a huge rotten smell rose into the sky.
.
"This is..." Li Ling looked closely at the situation in the pit, too stunned to say anything.
"This is... everyone's corpse." Li Ling could still recognize the faces of some people in the pit. The ferocious faces and the pain before death all made people feel a kind of unwillingness before death.
Li Ling frowned tightly and jumped down into the pit without a trace of hesitation. These corpses had been abandoned in the pit for some time. Many of the corpses had rotted and smelled, and only a few of them had not been disfigured.
You can also make out vague faces.
Li Ling walked to a corpse. The man was holding a piece of jade tightly with both hands. The jade was a symbol of protection. But he held it tightly in his hand before he died. It can be seen how unwilling he was before he died.
.
"Damn it, who did it?" Li Ling roared, knowing that this matter was definitely not that simple. All the gangsters had disappeared. Even if these reinforcements had no use value, they would not all be killed.
Li Ling searched aimlessly for the figures of Ant and Wood in the mountain of corpses, but among the mountains of corpses, no one belonged to Ant or Wood. Li Ling couldn't help but wonder, could it be that both of them escaped?
Out of heaven.
Just as Li Ling was deep in thought, many ambush soldiers appeared above the deep pit. Those ambush soldiers were all sergeants from Longyang County, and each sergeant held a spear in his hand.
Li Ling woke up from his deep thoughts, looked around at the sergeants, frowned, and the first thought in his mind was that he had been ambushed.
Suddenly there was a loud applause, and a very familiar guy named Hughes walked out from behind the sergeant.
"What a corpse mountain party. Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Hughes said with a gloating smile.
Li Ling suppressed the anger in his heart, looked up at Hughes, and said in a low voice: "Did you kill all these people?"
"I...I don't have that much power to kill so many people. These are all orders from above, Princess Longyang's order. Moreover, the dispatchers don't want these people to go back alive to receive their rewards." Hughes said in a strange way.
Smiling, laughing heartlessly.
Li Ling clenched his fists tightly, anger growing in his heart, but Li Ling repeatedly calmed himself down, suppressed the anger in his heart, and calmly analyzed the current situation. If he lost his mind, he would only be caught by the opponent.
"Where is General Guard Yate? I want to see him." Li Ling gritted his teeth and said rationally.
"General Guard Yat...he doesn't have time to see you now. As mentioned above, any reinforcements must be killed without mercy. Of course, Li Ling, you are no exception. However, seeing that you are so easily tricked and killed by us, I feel sorry for you."
I feel a little sorry." This was a naked revenge from Hughes. Li Ling had completely offended Hughes by rejecting Hughes's request twice. This guy has a very strong revenge mentality.
Li Ling also knew that these people had signed a life-and-death contract, that is, they gave their lives to Princess Longyang, and Princess Longyang had the power of life and death over these people. Moreover, for the right reason, every wish was made.
suffer.
"Then what do you want?" Li Ling suppressed his anger and looked at Hughes.
"What don't you want? I just want to see you lose to me." Hughes said with a sinister smile.
