A long army marched on the official road.
This is one of the vanguard troops marching from the Third Road of Tiandou City. Where the troops pass by, some scattered villages sometimes appear. These villages seem so natural and simple, and they enter the sky at sunrise. And rest, as if abandoned by the world outside of the new era.
Passing through the busy suburbs of spring ploughing, the army gradually moved away from the city, with few people around, and scattered flocks of sheep, such as clouds, appeared on the wasteland from time to time. I don't know when, the setting sun has slanted down the hills secretly, and the whole land seems to be covered by a thin layer of golden gauze, especially charming.
The vanguard army marched for nearly seven days, from Tiandou City all the way south, through the sunset forest, passing by Silves, passing by the Kingdom of Barak, and along the Tas grassland near Soto City, without any reduction in speed, and finally in the seventh. When the day was about to sunset, we rushed to the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Due to the impact of the beast tide of the Star Dou Great Forest before, the vast area outside the Star Dou Great Forest was uninhabited. The vanguard army had to stationed in an abandoned village and transformed it into a transit station. The follow-up main force and logistics team will provide a resting place. At the same time, the soldiers are already exhausted because of the long journey of the army. They are ready to take a rest here and send spies to the Star Dou Forest to investigate the recent situation.
In the vanguard, one man stood tall and contemplated, showing a resolute and mighty look.
Ma Hongjun raised his head slightly, and looked straight ahead with his eyes, looking very energetic and childish.
The mountain stands in front of it, with lush vegetation and clusters of mountain flowers. The drizzle caused the clouds and mists over the mountains, and the peaks in the curling clouds, if there are none, are even more magnificent and sinister, making people feel that it is mysterious and beautiful, and arrogant and arrogant.
Looking at the rolling green hills from a distance, like a surging river, endless. Looking closely at the green carpet of a thousand miles away, a cool breeze blew, and the green carpet seemed to have microwaves, it was so full of vitality. There were also graceful flowers on the green carpet. When the breeze came, they moved their bodies and danced gracefully, which made people applaud and burst into applause. The two lively and lovely sika deer drank water and talked and laughed, singing and playing around from time to time, so it was so lively. The small river that resembles a ribbon is flowing crookedly, listening to the sound of "clap, clang" is so beautiful, and from time to time it makes the jumping sound of "dingdong, dingdong", it seems to be the accompaniment of the river band, playing the spring Hymn.
His gaze was retracted from the Star Dou Forest in the distance, and Ma Hongjun looked around.
This is a village that has been abandoned for half a year. The houses are mostly made of wood and stone. In front of the windows of every household, under the eaves, there are bunches of dried red peppers, and a bunch of shriveled chili peppers, one hanging and one hanging. Red Russula, one ear and one ear are cooked and preserved for winter. The road is simply paved with gravel and fine sand. The blood and bones hidden under the dust are faintly visible in the fields near the village. Without the care of the peasants, the grass has already grown thick. Sometimes crows fly by in the air, making strange sounds of "quacking", which seems a bit infiltrating.
The houses in the village remained largely intact, but there were also many houses whose walls were yellow and covered with moss. Some walls were damaged and leaked, and the tiles on the eaves could not cover the scorching sun and rain.
As a vanguard general appointed by Yang Ming, Ma Hongjun is naturally the best house in this village.
This seems to be the property of the head of the village. It is a three-story building and is much taller than other houses in decoration.
Pushing open the dusty gate, Ma Hongjun has not stepped into the gate, and the dust on the top of his head is full, and there is a smell of dust that is choking his nose.
Raising his hand to tear off the cobweb in front of him, Ma Hongjun's eyes swept around. There are only a handful of furnishings in the house. The spacious hall is empty, and at sunset, because there is no light source, it looks very dark here.
"Cough cough cough, does this ghost place really live in?"
Catwoman Duduo stood behind Ma Hongjun. Girls like to be clean. When she saw this sloppy place, she frowned and raised her hand unhappily to sweep away the dust in the air.
Ma Hongjun was silent for a while.
Catwoman Duoduo, as the ancestor of the blood race, is now comparable to Super Douluo. She is the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Vanguard Army. Of course, Catwoman Duoduo still listens to Ma Hongjun's orders from the vanguard general.
Ma Hongjun scanned the corner of the room and could see a few yellowed bones with tooth marks still remaining on them.
The owner of this house apparently moved the property ahead of time, and he didn't know who the bones came from. Perhaps some villagers hid here, but they still couldn't escape death.
After all, when the tide of beasts arrives, for ordinary people, no place is safe, even the spirit masters who are above all on weekdays are no exception, it is very likely to be damaged here.
The last time Yang Ming led the army to resist the beast tide of the Star Dou Great Forest, Ma Hongjun did not participate in the battle, so he did not know the truth before. At this time, seeing the scene of this abandoned village, I am afraid it is only one of the countless villages near the Star Dou Great Forest. A small miniature, I don't know how many people died in the mouth of soul beasts. Only Ma Hongjun understood why Yang Ming had to eradicate the remnants of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Nothing else, just to let out a bad breath!
After the silence, Ma Hongjun saw Catwoman Duoduo standing outside the door and refused to come in, a smile appeared on his simple and honest face, and said:
"Duo Duo, we will also be stationed here, waiting for the follow-up logistics forces to arrive, as short as two days, as long as five days, if you are not happy to live here, there is no place to live outside, you have to send someone to go there. Cut down the trees to build a camp, which is so close to the Star Dou Forest. If soldiers were sent to cut down the trees, I was afraid that I would be surprised."
"cut!"
Catwoman Duo turned her head, her face was full of discomfort.
"Just live."
Catwoman Duoduo is Yang Ming's maid, and she is also the guarantee of the two thousand pioneers. Of course, Ma Hongjun is not willing to offend Catwoman Duoduo, and said:
"Well, I ask someone to come and clean the house. It takes a lot of time to clean inside and out. During this period of time, I first go around and observe the surrounding conditions."
"Ok."
Seeing that Ma Hongjun is so talkative, Catwoman Duoduo is unwilling to take an inch, after all, the other party is Yang Ming's good brother.
Catwoman Duoduo took out a small bat from her arms, only the size of a slap, and handed it to Ma Hongjun, saying:
"This is a avatar that split from the three-headed Bat King of Dark Gold. You can bring it with you. If something happens to you, release it as soon as possible, and it will immediately return to me and come to me. Report the situation."
Ma Hongjun looked down at the palm-sized little bat on his hand, and then at Catwoman's choppy chest. His eyes were almost straight, and he secretly swallowed.
"It's so big and the middle space is so narrow, I don't know how she can hide the bat."
With Ma Hongjun's lsp personality, if she were to be another woman, she would have licked her face long ago and would have to lean towards Catwoman Duoduo.
"Friend's wife, don't bully!"
With great perseverance, Ma Hongjun reluctantly violated his personality, and he was able to turn his eyes away from Catwoman Duoduo, and walked out of the house quickly with his legs, looking at his embarrassed figure, like a thief.
Not long after, Ma Hongjun ordered a few soldiers to go to the village chief's house to clean up, and at the same time ordered six soldiers to follow him around, and went to investigate near the village.
Originally, this kind of thing shouldn't be done by a pioneer like him, but who called Ma Hongjun was the first time he became a general, and he had no way to be a general at all.
Fortunately, Yang Ming also knows the situation of this good buddy. Among the two thousand pioneers, only Ma Hongjun and Catwoman Duoduo are two masters. The other soldiers are mostly ordinary people, and Yang Ming’s newly recruited disciples are sent to carry out the experience.
The village is far away from the Star Dou Forest, about 20 kilometers away, but there are already traces of the endless dense forest in the distance, and there is a warning wooden sign inserted beside the road to the Star Dou Forest, but it is now being exploited. The tooth bite in half, and the handwriting on the warning sign looked vague and incomplete.
Ma Hongjun took his six younger brothers around in a circle, looking at the Star Dou Forest from a distance, and a feeling of depression suddenly appeared in his heart, and the steps under his feet could not help but stop.
Seeing the relaxed look on Ma Hongjun's face gradually becoming solemn, Xiao Wentian asked involuntarily:
"General, what's the matter?"
As Yang Ming's chief disciple, Xiao Wentian was also dispatched by Yang Ming to the Vanguard Army for experience.
Yang Ming recruited Xiao Wentian's disciples not to raise idlers, but to train them to become spare tires for his own rebirth. If he wants to cultivate them successfully, he naturally wants them to participate in the battle, because only in life and death. Only when there is great horror can they help them to better practice the "Summoning Sutra".
"The Sutra of Evocation" is indeed worthy of being the top magical skill in the world of the tomb of the gods. It only took about a month to practice. Xiao Wentian, a thin boy who was once a thin boy, is now much stronger, and his eyebrows are also gone Humble and timid, flying with a bit of confidence.
Temperament is a vain thing, but it can change a person's external image and produce earth-shaking changes.
Ma Hongjun's face was dignified, his eyebrows furrowed into the shape of Sichuan, and he said:
"Do you feel the unfathomable depth of the Star Dou Great Forest?"
After breaking through the seventieth level soul sage not long ago, Ma Hongjun also began to cultivate his spiritual power during this period of time.
Regarding the entire Douluo Continent, the strongest spiritual power in the world is Yang Ming, the leader of the Tiantian Gang. In order to motivate the people, Yang Ming wrote his own spiritual experience and experience into a book, and put it in the treasure house to help the people. Contributions are exchanged.
After learning that Ma Hongjun was promoted, Yang Ming originally wanted to give the book to him directly, but he later thought that Ma Hongjun looked like a simple and honest LSP, and it was nothing to joke with him on weekdays, but it was his heart. It is very sensitive. If it is sent directly, it will only hurt Ma Hongjun's self-esteem, so it is up to him to exchange the accumulated contribution for the book.
Yang Ming's experience on spiritual power is naturally the most advanced in the entire Douluo Continent. After Ma Hongjun started, during this period of time, he felt that his spiritual power was growing by leaps and bounds, and he had reached the spiritual power level.
It is worth mentioning that the spiritual power is divided into several levels, namely the Lingyuan Realm, Lingtong Realm, Linghai Realm, Lingyuan Realm, Spirit Realm Realm, Divine Realm, God King Realm, and Creation Realm.
It was just as much as Ma Hongjun's mental power reached the Lingtong Realm, that he could vaguely feel that the Star Dou Forest was not right.
Hearing this, the six soldiers including Xiao Wentian couldn't help but feel puzzled.
They are not yet qualified to come into contact with such a lofty thing as spiritual power cultivation, and still stay on a superficial level, unable to feel that kind of thing.
"General, we didn't feel anything!"
"me too."
"me too!"
"..."
The six soldiers, including Xiao Wentian, were all disciples recently recruited by Yang Ming, and they all looked in the direction of the Star Dou Forest.
The forest is green like emerald, the valley is like green velvet, the river water is like flowing gelatin, and the moist air also gives people a crystal-like feelingHigh-rise hillsides, pine trees, banana trees, and locust trees , Aspen, Ginkgo, each showing its own unique beauty, clustered on the hillside, thick weeds as the background, beautiful, the hillside is colorful, the spring color dyes the hillside beautifully, like a young woman in a new dress, full and graceful. There are clusters of dry reeds on the hillside. The ears on its head are fluffy, and the gray is white. It swings in one direction by the wind, giving people a desolate and poignant beauty. The beauty of the daiyu in the wind is sad and heart-wrenching. .
The mountains and forests are beautiful, like an oil painting.
Xiao Wentian was a clever man, for fear of making Ma Hongjun unhappy, he thought about it a little bit, organized the language, and opened his mouth to help Ma Hongjun out of the siege:
"General, the Star Dou Forest is known as the continent’s number one soul beast colony. I don’t know how many powerful fierce beasts are hidden in it. Maybe it’s the small village where our army is stationed. It’s also the territory of a certain fierce beast nearby. Uncertain, I heard from the master once that the domain of fierce beasts is very different from the domain of human soul masters. They exist based on the realm that they actually occupy, and ordinary people can't even notice it, only to a certain degree of power. Only then can I perceive that, if this is the case, we ordinary people would naturally not be able to perceive it. It should be normal for the general to feel such a depressed feeling?"
When Xiao Wentian said this, the five people around him came over and looked at Xiao Wentian with complicated eyes.
No wonder they are the chief disciples of the leader, and they are just ordinary disciples.
Look at their cleverness, look at their reaction speed, look at their invisible flattering ability, I'm really ashamed!
After Xiao Wentian slapped a rainbow fart without a trace, Ma Hongjun's mood was refreshed, and his gaze looked at Xiao Wentian a little more cordial.
"Boy, young and promising, I am optimistic about you."
