After coming out of the camp, Chai Yan immediately found everyone to join him. Not only were the members of the elite team here, but Fan Xingwang, Zhan Pu and others were also present.【】
When Cheng Jiu saw Chai Yan coming, he immediately stepped forward with questioning eyes.
Chai Yan nodded gently and whispered: "Don't worry, I just fell asleep."
Cheng Jiu immediately nodded with relief.
At this time, Pang Zhenbei also came over and said with excitement: "Taoist Master, everyone is ready and can set off at any time!"
Chai Yan looked at Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie, and they both nodded immediately.
Looking at the more than twenty team members behind them, they are all well-equipped, in good spirits, and somewhat eager to try.
"Very good, everyone, listen, let's set off immediately!"
Chai Yan gave the order and everyone began to march to the foot of the mountain on the west side.
After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, everyone arrived at the foot of the mountain to the west. Fan Xingwang, Zhan Pu and others stopped when they arrived here.
Fan Xingwang glanced at the road up the mountain and said to Chai Yan: "Taoist Master, this trip is extremely dangerous. You must be more careful to ensure a safe return!"
Chai Yan smiled and said: "Don't worry, General Fan, we will be fine."
Fan Xingwang nodded vigorously and turned to look at Pang Zhenbei: "General Pang, you must obey the Taoist Master's orders for this operation. You must not act recklessly and affect the overall situation."
Pang Zhenbei immediately cupped his fists and said, "Yes, General Fan."
"You too!" Fan Xingwang immediately shouted to the team members.
"Yes!" More than twenty team members immediately agreed in unison.
Next, Pang Zhenbei directed everyone to light torches and head up the mountain one after another.
Soon, Chai Yan and others had gone far away and could not see their figures. Only the light of the torch could be seen moving slowly.
Fan Xingwang stared at the faint light of the torch and whispered to himself: "It must succeed."
.....................
After Chai Yan's thirty-man team went up the mountain, they continued to move northwest.
This route was not chosen randomly. During the few days before the kerosene was delivered, Chai Yan repeatedly went up the mountain to explore the route and finally found a route that he thought was the best.
Normally, the mountain road will be more difficult to walk after dark, but before setting off, everyone had already drank the sacred water of Wu, so everyone was full of energy and their feet were particularly strong. The rugged mountain road could not hinder everyone's progress.
.
Thirty people continued to move forward in the mountains and forests under the night. From time to time, animals that were disturbed and scared away appeared wherever they passed.
After walking for about a stick of incense, Chai Yan at the front suddenly stopped and thrust the torch in his hand into the mud.
Then, Chai Yan turned around and said to everyone: "Everyone, there is a poisonous fog area ahead."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions became serious. Everyone was well aware of the power of the poisonous mist.
Chai Yan took out three small porcelain bottles from his sleeves.
The pills in the porcelain bottle were made by Chaiyan by combining rice paste with the leaves of the tonic bean. After taking it, the poisonous mist can no longer harm the human body, but the time of this effect is limited.
Chai Yan handed a porcelain vase to Pang Zhenbei and said: "General Pang, this is for your team, one for each person."
Pang Zhenbei nodded and immediately reached out to take it.
"Cheng Jiu, this is from your second team." Chai Yan handed another porcelain vase to Cheng Jiu.
After Cheng Jiu took it, Chai Yan handed the last porcelain bottle to Yu Tie and said, "Yu Tie, this belongs to our third team. Distribute it to everyone immediately."
Yu Tie immediately caught the porcelain bottle, and together with Pang Zhenbei and Cheng Jiu, began to distribute the pills in the porcelain bottle to everyone's hands one by one.
At the beginning of the formation of the team, Chai Yan divided the thirty people into three teams. Pang Zhenbei led ten people to be the captain of the first team, Cheng Jiu was the captain of the second team, and Chai Yan himself was the captain of the third team. And in each team
Two deputy captains were also set up to prevent everyone from being accidentally dispersed during the operation and falling into the dilemma of losing their leader.
After a while, Chai Yan felt that everyone had got the pills in their hands, and said: "Listen up, everyone, I have already opened up the road through the poisonous fog. After taking the pills, everyone only needs to go up the road, but you have to go up.
Attention, everyone must speed up and try to pass through the poisonous fog in the shortest possible time. If the delay is too long and the antidote fails, your life will be in danger! Do you understand?"
"I understand, Taoist priest." "I understand!"
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Okay, take the pill and speed up!" Chai Yan ordered.
After the words fell, everyone including Pang Zhenbei, Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie simply swallowed the antidote pills.
When Chai Yan saw this, he didn't hesitate, picked up the torch stuck on the ground and rushed towards the poisonous fog area, walking more than ten steps away in an instant.
"For the first team, hurry up and follow us!" Pang Zhenbei raised the torch and reminded immediately.
Cheng Jiu also said: "The people from the second team will also follow."
Yu Tie couldn't speak, so he could only wave his arms vigorously, urging the people in the third team to follow him with "ah ah ah".
When they first entered the poisonous mist, everyone was somewhat worried about the effect of the antidote. However, after walking through the poisonous mist for a long time and discovering that the poisonous mist did no harm to the body, everyone finally felt relieved.
The pace also became faster.
I don't know how much time passed, but Chai Yan moved forward quickly and was finally the first to pass through the poisonous fog area and stood on a huge rock next to the cliff leading to the top of the mountain.
As soon as they stood firm, Pang Zhenbei, Cheng Jiu, Yu Tie and others also followed one after another.
"Count the number of people immediately and check whether the kerosene is damaged." Chai Yan ordered.
Soon, Pang Zhenbei, Cheng Jiu, and Yu Tie completed the head count. There were more than thirty people, and the kerosene jars carried by each person were intact.
Chai Yan was very satisfied, nodded and said: "Let's move on."
After giving the order, the thirty people continued to move towards the top of the cliff.
----------------------------------
At the same time, in the camp at the foot of the mountain.
In the darkness, Jimo Qiao, who was sleeping on the bed, had begun to wake up slowly.
When Jimo Qiao opened his eyes, he found that the surroundings were completely dark. He was immediately startled: "Wait, why would I..."
Before he finished speaking, Jimo Qiao completely understood what was going on. The special pill that Chai Yan gave him just now was not an antidote pill!
"Damn it! Chai Yan, you liar, you big liar!"
While Jimo Qiao was scolding, he jumped out of bed in a hurry and ran out of the tent quickly.
Chai Yan! Just wait for me. How dare you lie to me? When I find you, I will make you look good!
Jimo Qiao ran towards the camp while angrily scolding Chai Yan in his heart.
"Have you seen the Taoist Priest of Immortality?"
"No......"
"Have you seen the Taoist Priest of Immortality?"
"I don't know, I didn't see it."
Along the way, whenever Jimo Qiao saw someone, he would grab him and ask for news about Chai Yan, but most people in the camp said they didn't know.
While he was feeling anxious, Jimo Qiao suddenly saw Fan Xingwang who was patrolling the camp.
Jimo Qiao ran up to Fan Xingwang and asked anxiously: "General Fan, have you seen my senior brother? Where is he now?"
Fan Xingwang didn't understand why Jimo Qiao was so anxious, because he didn't know that Chai Yan had falsely promised Jimo Qiao to take her with him.
"Miss Mo Yu, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?" Fan Xingwang asked with concern.
Jimo Qiao was very anxious and asked: "General Fan, answer me first, where are my senior brothers and the others? Have they...have they already set off?"
"Yes, Taoist Master and the others have been setting off for a long time, at least more than half an hour. Calculating the time, they should have arrived in the poisonous fog area by now."
After saying that, Fan Xingwang asked again: "Miss Mo Yu, what happened? What happened?"
After hearing this, Jimo Qiao was so angry that he stamped his feet and cursed: "Asshole, damn it! Liar, big liar!"
