Along the way, the ferocity of the snake tribe was clearly revealed. From time to time they hung the corpses of civilians who died tragically on the marching path of Mo Di and others, in order to disturb the morale of the army.
Mo Di proposed to Ge Xizan that he could no longer go to Dashi City and that he should immediately change the marching route to avoid falling into the trap set by the snake tribe. But Ge Xizan did not agree, so Mo Di had to propose a compromise method and sent
Some strong men explored the way ahead and cleared away the corpses used by the snake tribesmen to intimidate them.
This method worked initially. All the dead bodies were cleaned up in advance. The subsequent troops were out of sight and out of mind. The atmosphere of panic was greatly reduced, and the marching speed was greatly increased. However, within two hours, something went wrong again, causing another problem.
riot.
When Mo Di saw this scene, his heart suddenly sank, and he thought to himself: "It's broken!"
Mo Di rushed to the front of the team and saw that the trees on both sides of the road were covered with corpses again. But these corpses were none other than the thirty strong men who were opening the way ahead. Without exception, they were all killed.
This is a naked provocation, this is a declaration of war!
Looking at this scene, everyone was silent, and the atmosphere of panic once again enveloped the entire army!
"Brother Mo, is it too late for us to change the route?" Gerxizan finally changed his mind and did not dare to go to Dashi City again.
Mo Di sighed and said helplessly: "It's too late. Since the Snake Clan can kill these thirty strong men, they have the ability to attack us. They are demonstrating against us and declaring war on us!
"
Ge Xizan was too distracted to pay attention, and said: "Are we just going to sit there and wait for death? Brother Mo, if you think of a way, this will cost thousands of lives."
Mo Di thought to himself: If you had listened to me earlier, how could you have come to this point!
But now it was useless for him to be angry, so he had to think of other solutions. He looked carefully at the scene and the corpses, and found a problem.
Mo Di's eyes lit up and he said: "There is a way!"
Geer Xizan seemed to have met a savior and hurriedly asked: "What can I do? Please tell me quickly."
Mo Di pointed at these corpses and said: "General, look, these people have no wounds on their bodies, but their whole bodies are black. They must have died of poisoning."
After being reminded by Mo Di, Geshe Zan realized that these people were indeed poisoned. He asked: "But, what problem does this mean?"
Mo Di asked: "These people are responsible for exploring the road ahead and cleaning up the corpses. You should know how they clean up the corpses, right?"
Geersi praised: "I know. They all use spiritual energy to crush the corpse. This... although this method is a bit bad, but now the situation is forcing us to not care so much, so we have to use this
Method."
Mo Di also knew that this method was simple and crude and extremely disrespectful to the deceased, but there was no better way.
Medi said: "You come with me." He led Ge Xizan and walked two or three feet toward the roadside. He saw the corpse of a civilian in the grass. The corpse had been broken into pieces. The strange thing was,
The grass next to the body was black and seemed to be burnt.
Mo Di pulled out a straw stick and saw that the lower half of the straw stick was already black. Mo Di sniffed the blackened area of the straw stick and smelled a fishy smell. He frowned and handed the straw stick over.
Thumbs up to Gersey.
Geersizan carefully took the straw stick, smelled it, and said, "This is snake venom. Why, is there any problem?"
Mo Di said: "The snake clan knew how the people we sent to clean up the corpses, so they injected a large amount of venom into the corpses. So when those people smashed the corpses, the corpses would explode and the venom would splash out.
They are all poisoned. That’s why they are so busy with poison.”
Geersi praised and said bitterly: "What a cunning snake tribe, they actually use this method to harm us."
Mo Di said: "This is a good thing."
"What? A good thing? How do you say this?" Ge Xizan was surprised and looked at Medi strangely.
Mo Di said: "This shows that the snake people are still afraid of us. They have not really regained their strength after shedding their skin."
Ge Xizan still didn't understand, and said: "How can you see it?"
Mo Di explained: "The reason why they only dare to poison us in this sneaky way and do not dare to confront us is that they are obviously still afraid of us and do not dare to confront us head-on. So we still have a chance.
!”
Ge Xizan was overjoyed and patted Mo Di heavily on the shoulder, saying: "Yes, Brother Mo, you are so smart. What to do next, I will listen to you this time."
Mo Di was not polite and said: "We must change direction and cannot go to Dashi City anymore. Think about it, are there any places around here with higher terrain that are easy to defend and difficult to attack?"
Ge Xizan squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "A hundred miles northwest of here, there is a big mountain called Pingdingshan. That mountain is surrounded by cliffs, and there is only a small road leading to it. It is an easy-to-defend mountain."
A good and difficult place to attack.”
Mo Di said: "Okay, let's go there."
The team immediately changed its marching direction and began to rush northwest.
As expected, there were no more troubles along the way, it was very smooth, and the morale of the entire team was restored a lot.
Ge Xizan finally had a smile on his face and became closer to Mo Di.
"Brother Mo, I'm glad I listened to you this time, otherwise our group would have been miserable. Hey, those snake tribesmen must still be waiting on the road to Dashi City."
Mo Di said: "I just hit it by mistake. I just thought that way wouldn't work, so I took this way to try my luck."
Geersi praised: "Brother Mo is so humble. In this way, when we are out of danger, I will definitely recommend Brother Mo to the king and help you find a bright future." He had no way to repay him, so he could only make a wish with an official title.
Mo Di said: "That's all for later. Now we can only be real if we save our lives first."
Geersi praised: "Hey, there is definitely no problem with the path Brother Mo has chosen. Once we reach Pingding Mountain, everything will be safe."
Mo Di said with concern: "I'm worried that after the Snake Tribe reacts, they won't give up and will chase after them. I heard that the Snake Tribe is very fast and can travel thousands of miles in a day. After they return to normal, their speed may increase.
It’s faster.”
Geer Xizan was so happy with his visit that he had already forgotten about this. Only after Mo Di reminded him like this did he realize that everyone was still in danger. He hurriedly made arrangements to let some strong men cut off the rear and deal with the snake tribesmen who were chasing after them at any time.
Others threw away all their belongings and ran towards Pingding Mountain at full speed.
Along the way, everyone was speechless and hurried on with all their strength. This was a battle between speed and life. Only by reaching Pingdingshan before the snake tribesmen caught up would they have a chance to survive.
Halfway through the journey, a shout suddenly came from behind the team.
"Be careful! It's the snake clan!"
This cry stimulated everyone's nerves. Unexpectedly, the snake tribesmen reacted so quickly and have already caught up!
"The people in front speed up, and the fifty people behind obey orders and stop them with all their might!" Ge Xizan ordered.
Since fighting with the snake clan is inevitable, in order to reduce losses and preserve strength, the only choice is to sacrifice those behind.
The last fifty soldiers knew that the danger was in danger, but after receiving the order, they still stopped immediately and divided into several rows across the road, ready to defend themselves against the enemy.
Executing orders and prohibitions is the true nature of a soldier. It can be seen that Uzi soldiers are brave and well-trained, and they are definitely a force that cannot be ignored.
The people in front all looked back at the last fifty soldiers, not only as a final farewell, but also as a sign of respect. These people will buy time for them with their lives.
Everyone turned around and continued to move forward without any hesitation. Only by quickly escaping from danger was the greatest respect for the lives of those fifty people.
There were sounds of fighting in the distance from behind, and screams could be heard from time to time. The fifty soldiers were already fighting with the snake tribesmen.
No one looked back, and they all continued to move forward in a hurry. The sounds of fighting and screams behind them became farther and farther away, until they disappeared.
Maybe those fifty people have been wiped out by the snake tribe, or maybe they are still fighting to the death, and will be wiped out after exhaustion. In short, death in battle is their fate, the difference is just a matter of time. But they have brought life to others.
Hope, death is worth it.
Within an hour, the team did not receive any interference. Everyone seized this rare safe gap and moved forward with all their strength to distance themselves from the snake clan. "Snakes! They are catching up again!" Another person behind the team was shocked.
cried out.
Just an hour later, the snake tribe caught up with them again. Although they couldn't see their shadows, the dense "squeaking" sounds were getting closer and closer, and a unique fishy smell from snakes had drifted down the wind.
Everyone looked solemn. They didn't expect the Snake Clan to catch up so quickly.
The snakes move very fast, which is both their nature and one of their spiritual skills. Even small snakes without spiritual steps can reach several feet or even dozens of feet away in an instant, which is faster than the average human spirit.
Practitioners are much faster.
"The last fifty people defend the enemy, the others should not stop and continue moving forward!" Ge Xizan gave the order.
"Yes!" Although the last fifty people were unwilling to die like this, they immediately stopped and turned to face the direction of the Snake Clan, preparing to defend themselves against the enemy.
For the safety of the entire team, some people must make sacrifices. This is war!
The entire team moved forward day and night without daring to stop.
Geerxizan has sent ten groups of people to intercept the snake clan, but each time they can only gain less than an hour, but the time interval is getting shorter and shorter.
This is a bad sign, indicating that the fighting power of the snake tribe is getting stronger and stronger. They have passed the weak period of shedding and will soon return to normal. By then, their fighting power will have increased exponentially. If Mo Di
They will be in great danger before they reach Pingdingshan.
Everyone is almost running out of spiritual energy. Some soldiers with low spiritual levels can no longer hold on. Some people are falling behind one after another, but no one is going to help them. It’s not that they don’t want to help them, but that they are helpless. Now, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves. What can they do?
Even if you don't know that you can't save your life, helping others will not only fail to save his life, but also risk your own life, which is not cost-effective at all.
The only thing that gives people hope now is that they are getting closer and closer to Pingdingshan, and they can already see its figure from a distance. At the current speed, they will arrive in just an hour.
At this time, the snake tribe had also discovered Mo Di's plan, and they also changed their strategy and insisted on stopping Uzi's team in order to avenge the blood.
A new bloody battle is about to begin again...
