Infinite Brilliant Scroll

Chapter 51 Remnants by the river, corpses everywhere

Guan Luoyang squatted down to touch the ravine, and squeezed a handful of mud on his fingers.

Judging from this feeling, the formation of this gully should not have happened last night, but it was within two or three days.

If he guessed a little boldly, he stepped into the Snake Valley with a scented pill that could lure poisonous snakes, but he didn't see a single snake, because the snakes in the entire Snake Valley had already followed this trajectory and left.

And it is the person holding some kind of utensil that caused this long groove track?

still is……

Guan Luoyang carefully distinguished the direction in which the snakes and insects were crawling, looked at the tendency of the soil to be disturbed and collapsed, and began to walk along the gully.

Out of the valley, over the high slope, and into a forest, Guan Luoyang found scales the size of half a palm on the trunk of a big overturned tree.

The scales are yellowish and black, and the roots are whitish.

Guan Luoyang put more force on his hands inch by inch, and after the scales were bent to the limit, they broke into two halves with a bang, and their toughness was probably not inferior to iron sheets of the same thickness.

He twitched his brows and continued walking forward.

Among the fallen trees, there are more and more scales left behind, some are embedded in the trunk, and some are scattered on the ground.

A large stone with the height of three people was pried out from a gentle slope in the forest, and the soil and moss on the surface were all messed up, leaving large criss-cross white marks.

This stone has the most scales scattered around it, and lots of blood.

The moment he walked around the stone, Guan Luoyang's pupils shrank, and he almost slashed it out.

There was a blood-stained python coiled there, even if coiled there, it would be as high as the lower abdomen, occupying a large area of ​​five or six meters around, with a terrifying volume.

Looking carefully, the giant python has no head, only a huge gap, which turned out to be just the snake skin that has been cast off.

Guan Luoyang hooked up one end of the snake's skin with a knife, and walked out step by step until the heavy and wet snake's skin was pulled straight. It looked like it might be more than 20 meters long.

According to the width of the snake skin, the snake's body should be as thick as a bucket.

Guan Luoyang stared at the snake skin silently, recalling the reminder in the task of reincarnation.

The earth dragon turns around, disasters and strange events occur frequently, demon nature, corpse evil, and people's hearts.

He has seen zombies before, and he has also seen mages.

Ghosts that can be enslaved by spells, like the strange monkey in the old house by the water, and the incense-eating ghost of Zhiyuan Daochang, have also dealt with each other.

But the demon, he hasn't seen it yet.

The boa constrictor in front of him could be regarded as a monster.

If a monster of this size grows after shedding its skin, it can easily crash the house, tear down the house, and swallow the beasts and living people one by one.

Not to mention that there are thousands of snakes accompanying this monster, even if it just passes by a certain town, it is unknown how many casualties it will cause.

Guan Luoyang frowned in thought, walking around, piercing through the snake skin one knife at a time, to see if there was any difference in the hardness of the snake skin in different parts.

He stabbed from the head to the tail, and calculated the position of the seven inches. After stabbing a circle, there was no gain. Even at the seven inches, the strength of the snake scales seemed to be the same.

With no time to think about it, Guan Luoyang turned his head, took a deep breath, looked for the direction in which this trajectory was spreading, and hurried away.

His step is more than ten meters, and wherever he passes, green leaves follow him, passing through the jungle like a gust of wind.

I don't know if the other beasts and birds in these forests have been scared away long ago, and have never approached here.

In the vast woods, the sun shone through the branches and leaves, leaving large spots of light, and only his figure was walking quickly.

Until he came to a river, the trails of many snakes and insects slanted and slid into the river bank.

"call……"

Guan Luoyang's footsteps slowed down, his eyes filled with the sparkle on the water, "Did these snakes just enter the water?"

If you just enter the water, whether you live at the bottom of the river in the future or enter the sea from the river, it can probably be regarded as a lucky thing.

But after Guan Luoyang walked along the river bank for a while, he could vaguely smell blood.

He rushed in that direction, and there were many soldiers guarding the river bank.

But the existence of these soldiers could not cover up the tragic battlefield at all.

A general in armor had good eyesight, turned his head to look first, and shouted, "Who is it?"

Guan Luoyang stepped forward: "I was originally a martial artist who was going to the Snake Valley to collect medicine. I found signs of snakes coming out, and I was worried that the pythons would hurt people, so I chased them all the way."

"It's Daoist Qiuhong."

A soldier called out and said, "Does the Taoist priest still remember me? During the great martial arts battle yesterday, I also followed the general to witness there."

Guan Luoyang looked at him and seemed to have some impressions.

"With the result of the fighting technique, I was ordered to report back to Commander-in-Chief on a fast horse, but I ran into General Yu halfway."

The soldier whispered something to the general.

General Yu's expression eased, and he clasped his fists and said, "It turned out to be the Taoist priest of Zhenwu Temple. I just sent people to Zhenwu Temple to ask for help from the mages. I didn't expect that by chance, a Taoist priest came here first, and he still got the jade seal. The master of the mage's order."

"Taoist, come and see."

General Yu gets out of the way.

In fact, there is no need for him to deliberately step aside, this battlefield is too large, and it is impossible for these soldiers to block all of them.

Boa constrictors and human corpses were everywhere on the river bank, entwined and dead together. Those soldiers were dealing with the dead bodies.

Hundreds of people died, and the number of pythons and poisonous snakes could not be counted. The traces of the battle stretched four or five miles away from the place in front of them.

But in addition to the corpses of humans and snakes, there are also giant beasts lying on the ground one after another.

It's an elephant.

Cochin has long had a tradition of using elephants to fight wars. However, ordinary elephants can easily lose control if they encounter pre-dug pits, artillery fire, or even the deliberate interference of mages, and may trample on them. Attack your own team.

So things like cavalry are actually not commonly used.

However, the elephants in front of them have cinnabar-colored lines that seem to grow naturally in their ears, and some of the cloth bags wrapped around their bodies are broken, revealing the small artillery and ammunition boxes tied to their bodies.

This is the first year of Jianwu, after the Ming Dynasty regained Jiaozhi, a special type of troops was specially cultivated, called "Diwei Army".

Each of the elephants used in this kind of army must be guarded by a mage. Since the elephants were young, they have carefully prepared feed, looked after their growth, fed cinnabar pills, and developed a kind of unwavering mind, rampant, and fearless to death.

But as long as they are the cavalry with the same training and the same kind of cinnabar breath, they can get close to these elephants freely and master their advance and retreat, which is really like the psychic realm of the unity of human and elephant.

Guan Luoyang has read a lot of books in the Zhenwu Temple, and has also learned a lot about the legends about this army. It is said that when this kind of army is mobilized, it must first notify the various prefectures and prepare relevant fodder, so every time it is dispatched They are so powerful that even the people talk about them.

But now it seems that this army, which was supposed to be located in Jiaozhou Mansion, unexpectedly walked through the wilderness and secluded woodland and came to the vicinity of Chengyin Mansion without anyone noticing.

All kinds of news, the blockade can be said to be watertight.

It is not difficult to imagine that this army must shoulder extremely difficult and heavy responsibilities.

But now, these elephants have already shed poisonous blood, and their corpses are here.

General Yu said anxiously beside him: "Master, a nobleman disappeared around here after encountering a group of snakes. I wonder if you have any means to find his location?"
