Chapter 251

It's time to start. More than 250 night watchmen of the black castle, with more than 50 carts of various supplies, pass through the frozen passage under the great wall of despair and go deep into the snow plain of the north. Some of them have lived in the ice and snow for decades, which can be regarded as rich experience, but some of them are completely novice, and even a few just arrived at the black castle more than two weeks ago. Xiong had no time to wait for them to finish their training. "Ice and snow will make them realize the danger, and brothers will help them become night watchmen!"

Left barely enough black castle operation of the staff, the current force is molmon can mobilize all the strength. This group of night watchmen in dark cloaks, lined up in two columns, holding the central carriage, walked silently through the tunnel. The last time the ghost was placed here and then ran out, so many people will have a lingering fear when passing by.

But they are not as scared as Zhao mai

The "intelligent system" of the desperate Great Wall has finally been released. Zhao Mai, driving his carriage, followed the watchman's team with fear. If there were enough weapons to kill him hundreds of times in the past, now these terrible weapons have finally made way, but they are still hanging over his head. Every time Zhao Mai used the natural force, psychic powers and other magic vision, he could clearly see the terrible magic array around him. The earth's power extracted from the area of more than 100 Li has been stored in the Great Wall for thousands of years, just like a huge ammunition depot full of explosives, pressing on Zhao Mai's head.

"I saw you sweating and nervous for the first time." Jon walked beside Zhao Mai and said to him. As Xiong Lao's official, he has to run around to convey instructions, and constantly report the situation of the team. No, after he finished the task, he just saw Zhao Mai on the way back, and the sweat flowing down his side face.

"Sometimes, not seeing something may be happiness." Zhao Mai had already confirmed that no one in the whole black castle could see the magic light. Perhaps in the eyes of the world, magic is so disappeared, do not know the earth is not the same? Zhao Mai only hopes to finish the tunnel as soon as possible and get out of the depressed place. "Jon, protect old bear. The safety of all night watchmen depends on him."

"I understand." Jon nodded and adjusted the shoulder strap to make the sword comfortable. He is only 16 years old now, and his body has not fully grown up, so the steel sword of Valeria is still a little big for him, and it will be uncomfortable to put it on his waist. But he will grow up in this journey.

Zhao Mai knew what would happen to him and knew that this action would be Jon's rite of passage. His body, heart and feelings will be tested. When he returns to black castle again, he will no longer be a teenager, but a real adult.

With Jon's brisk steps and shanmwell's heavy legs, the whole team finally went through the tunnel and all the way into the snow. On the north side of the Great Wall, there is an open area about 12 li away, without any trees. First of all, these trees were cut down to be used as firewood for night watchmen. In addition, this is also the general rule of city watchmen. In the open area, there is no obstruction of vision, and the enemy can't use wood to make siege equipment nearby.

Can savages make siege equipment? Many night watchmen will ask this question, but in the end they understand that this is just another rigid rule of the night watchman. Through the open area, a vast coniferous forest is on the way forward. This is not the kind of dense forest that is difficult to walk through. Trees need enough space to get enough nutrition to fight against the cold weather here. With a big car and two rows of soldiers, it's easy to find the road.

There are five maps in Xiong's backpack, all of which Sam found out from the pile of old papers. They are the basis for their progress. Xiong was worried that some landmarks could not be found, so he prayed for it all the time. The seven gods believed by southerners are useless here. How can those "domestic gods" from warm places understand the severe cold in the north. Only the "Old God", or the "ancient god" believed by the ancestors, is the master here.

"Ancient god, take us on the right path. We are the descendants of our ancestors, the descendants of your care. We are the night watchmen of the great wall of doom. We are dedicated to protecting the territory of mankind. When we are lost, we need your guidance. "

This prayer only sounded in Mormon's heart, he would not let his soldiers feel any sense of panic. Maybe the ancient god really heard his prayer, and the first landmark appeared, which was once called Baishu village.

In most people's eyes, this is not a village. Four simple houses with stone walls are still there, but the roofs of timber beams, branches and flakes have collapsed. The room is surrounded by an empty sheep pen in the center and a well. The wooden bucket for fishing water has long disappeared.

"There's no one in the room, there's nothing left." The scouts came back and said, "the people inside have moved away. They have brought clothes, grain, fur and maybe livestock."

"Do you know how long it's been?" Old bear frowned and asked."It's certainly not recent, but how long can we not see that everything has been frozen." After thinking about it, the Scout replied.

"The tree with a human face must have seen it, but unfortunately it can't speak." Pointing to the big tree next to the village, Xiong turned to Jon and said, "let's keep it informed so that the boys from the South won't know. This kind of big tree with red crown and white trunk is called Yu Liang wood, also known as heart tree. It should not be cut down at any time. It's better not to peel off the bark of the tree. If someone does this, it's against the military order. Do you understand? "

"Yes, commander." Jon rushed to convey the order.

Zhao Mai had heard about Yu Liang mu for a long time, but he never got to see it. It was the first Yu Liang Mu he met. There was one on Eagle's nest, but it had withered long ago, leaving only the oily and shiny trunk debris with its bark removed. The one in Lindong city is huge enough, and its crown is higher than the city wall. But Zhao Mai only saw the leaves from a distance, and did not visit Lindong city.

In front of us, the tree trunk is nearly three meters wide, and the leaves are luxuriant and expanding, covering the whole village. Red leaves, white trunks and black roots make this tree feel sacred. But the face on the tree trunk was really frightening, with hollow eyes and wide mouth. The sap came out of it and solidified. The sap of yuliangmu is red, and the amber formed is the same color, so it looks like a big face bleeding from seven orifices.

According to legend, these faces are carved by the son of the forest, and each expression is different. As for why they do it, no one knows but themselves.

To others, it's just a tree with a terrible head, but Zhao Mai sees something different. The natural force gathered on the fish beam, and the eyes of the tree glowed slightly, as if they were really looking at it. Constantly fluorescent runes came out of the tree's mouth, flew into the air, and then slowly dissipated. The power contained in the text is far less than that of the Great Wall, but it is more clear.

Here, he suddenly had a strange sense of familiarity and closeness. Just about to get close to see clearly, the grain reserve bit his trouser leg.

"Do you think I'm in danger?" Zhao Mai asked in bewilderment.

He pointed to the carriage. Zhao Mai looked back. Xiaohua was lying at the window, shaking his head and leaves.
