"Oh?" Upon hearing Tian Gan's words, Fan Yuzhen looked at him closely, waiting for Tian Gan to continue.

"General, please look. The sun is still over a foot high, but the sky is already shrouded in darkness, so this is not a sign of nightfall." However, since this place has been without rain for a long time, the dark clouds naturally will not cover the sun. "

"What is that thing? "It can actually cover up this boundless universe?" When Fan Xian heard the story, he became even more suspicious.

"If I'm not wrong, this is the result of the sky filled with yellow sand forming a black curtain that covers the sun." If I'm not wrong, this is the result of the sky filled with yellow sand forming a black curtain that covers the sun's light. Tian Gan looked at the sky full of the increasingly thick black curtain and could not help but to say worriedly.

"Ah, what should we do?" Fan Yu asked worriedly when he saw that Tian Gan was worried.

Tian Gan thought for a moment before continuing to speak, "General should give the order for the three armies to not move about without permission, to be connected back and forth with ropes, to walk in sync, and to use the ringing gold as the signal. If it comes to mind, everyone must gather together as soon as possible to prevent them from being separated in this maze valley."

"Alright, we'll do as Brother Tian Qian says. We'll form a whole army and call for gold!"

In accordance with Tian Gan's suggestion, Fan Yuzheng formed a group of soldiers and civilians, leading them with a rope. The latter stood up one by one, held onto the rope, and moved forward while leaning against each other. The spell worked. Under the lead, the troops of over a thousand elite soldiers moved forward with great difficulty. However, not a single one of them separated.

However, the road ahead became more and more difficult and dangerous. After the entire army had walked for about an hour, the sky became heavier and heavier. Due to the sand covering the sky, the brightness of the Maze Valley became lower and lower. And at this time, within the desolate confusion, it seemed as if there was a group of ghosts crying. Waves of wailing sounds came from afar, from far away, from near. The wind around him was dancing chaotically as if he was complaining about the souls of the wrongdoers that had died in this place.

In such a terrifying situation, the leading soldier was already scared out of his wits. He simply didn't have the mind to distinguish the direction and could only try his best to avoid the terrifying howls and howls of the wailing ghosts. At this moment, the horse was also panicking, as if it was trying to escape and pull the leader of the soldiers into a mess.

"Dang, dang, dang!" Suddenly, the sound of metal clanging could be heard. It was the order of the entire army, and according to the agreement, the frontline moved backwards, the frontline moved forward, and soon, the whole army was gathered together.

"What is it, General?" Yang Duohe led the army over. When he saw Fan Yuchen, he asked anxiously.

But before he could say anything, Tian Gan replied with a heavy expression, "General Yang, I'm afraid we've made a detour and returned to our original spot."

"What?" How is that possible? " After Yang Duohe heard Tian Gan's words, he did not believe what Tian Gan said at all. He hurriedly explained, "We clearly chose the direction of the sundial and kept moving forward. How could we possibly return to where we were previously?"

"The direction of the sundial was not bad before, but after a long time, the sundial began to shift." The direction of the sundial was not bad before, but after a long time, the sundial began to shift. So, we continued to follow in the wrong direction while we marched. After an hour, we finally arrived at our original location. " Seeing the disbelief on Yang Duohe's face, Tian Gan explained.

"This... How is that possible?! " Although Yang Duohe heard Tian Gan's explanation, he still couldn't believe what he had said.

After a layer of the sand had been peeled away, Tian Gan picked up a piece of leather armor from the ground and said, "This is the piece of leather armor from the soldier I saved earlier who was attacked by the Soul Sucking Snake. It was probably the piece that fell off when I quickly pulled at him." After Tian Gan said this, he continued fiddling with the yellow sand. This time, he found a lump of dark stuff, and picked it up. He pinched it open with his hand and continued, "This is horse manure that has just been blown dry by the wind, and its interior is still wet. This is what our horse left behind when we stopped here."

Seeing this iron-like evidence, Yang Duan He finally had no choice but to believe what Tian Gan said. However, at the same time that he believed what Tian Gan said, he also felt fear.

"What, what should we do?" Yang Duohe asked with an unprecedented fear in his voice. Of course, he wasn't the only one who was flustered and uneasy. The only one who was flustered and uneasy was none other than these commoner soldiers who had gathered together and listened to what Tian Gan had to say. Everyone began to make wild guesses, saying everything at random. Some even thought that this was the doing of a ghost. All of a sudden, the uneasy feeling in the army spread rapidly, causing an uproar.

Although Tian Gan had discovered this terrifying danger, he was unable to answer Yang Duohe's question at the moment. This was because the frightfulness of this Desolate Sea Valley had far exceeded his expectations.

"Reporting to the great general, just now someone passed this to me and told me to report it to the great general." Just when everyone was at a loss, the scout suddenly called out to them again. As he spoke, he passed the item in his hand to Fan Yuzhen.

Fan Yicheng took the report with great surprise. After a closer look, it turned out to be a rolled up cloth. He slowly unfolded it and discovered that it was yet another secret letter. The letter only had four words on it: "Old horse knows the way".

After reading these words, Fan Yuzhen handed the letter to Tian Gan, then quickly asked the scout: "Where is the person who delivered the letter?"

"Reporting to the great general, this person's movements are extremely fast. In addition, his movements are obstructed by the twilight. I was unable to see him clearly for a moment, so he …" "Then, there's no trace of them." The scout lowered his head and answered with a troubled expression.

At this moment, after Tian Gan saw the secret letter in Fan Yicheng's hand, he suddenly took the letter and carefully checked the handwriting on it. This was because the words on the secret letter were so familiar to him.

A mysterious person! The mysterious person had appeared again!

This thought quickly flashed through his mind, but suddenly, as if something had been ruthlessly stabbed, he took out something from his bosom to compare. After examining the two for a long time, he murmured, "So that's how it is."

"What do you mean that?" Fan Yuzheng did not understand.

"Does the great general remember why I asked him for horses when I promised to extort Fox bamboo in the hall of the Nine Barbarian King yesterday?" Qin Lie asked. Faced with Fan Yuzhen's question, Tian Gan didn't answer in a hurry. Instead, he asked Fan Yuzhen a question.

"Oh, right. At that time, you did indeed ask for a horse for the army. But, didn't we need a horse to supply us when we were on our way to the Nine Barbarians?"

This answer from Fan Xian was obviously not the true answer that Tian Gan had asked for. He only shook his head slightly and said, "The ground around Fox Bamboo is so steep that even if there were horses, they wouldn't be of much use. The reason I wanted those horses was because this mysterious man passed them down to me when I was trying to capture the Nine Barbarian King." As he spoke, Tian Gan passed the item in his hand to Fan Yuwen.

Fan Yuzhen took the item from Tian Gan. After looking at it carefully, he saw that it was a piece of sheepskin that was polished and transparent. On the sheepskin was written a word: "Horse."

"This is —?" Fan Yuzhen looked at it for a long time, but he still asked puzzledly.

"At that time, I didn't care too much about it. I just casually asked for some horses. Now, it seems that he has prepared the only way for us to leave the Maze Valley in the Desolate Sea." Tian Gan continued to explain.

"The way out of the Maze Valley in the Arid Sea?" Fan Yicheng obviously did not have the time to react, he could only frown in confusion.

"That's right. The only way to get out of this Desolate Sea Valley is to use the old horse's knowledge of the way." Just as Tian Gan spoke, he pointed to a group of frightened horses and said slowly, "This group of war horses have been following the Nine-Barbarian King's Jiang tribe in their conquest of Fox Bamboo several times. They must have already passed through this Desolate Sea Abyss many times, and the horses are more intelligent than humans. Their ability to discern directions far surpasses that of humans, so only they know the way out of the Maze Valley. Just now, they had been in a state of shock and they all wanted to escape. It must have been because they felt that we had been circling around death, which was why they made such a sound. "

"So that's how it is." When Fan Yicheng and everyone else heard Tian Gan's narration, they finally understood. With Tian Gan's deductions, their previously worried hearts all settled down a lot.

"There's no time to lose. The great general orders the entire army to follow the horses. Everyone follow their lead. Otherwise, if night really falls, the soldiers might not be able to withstand the cold." Yang Duohe immediately advised Fan Yuzhen after he understood the whole situation.

"En, Brother Yang's words make sense," Hearing Yang Duohe's words, Fan Yuzhen agreed and nodded, then ordered the troops, "Pass down the order: the entire army will follow the lead of the horses!"

"Yes!" The army received the order from Fan Yicheng and followed it.

At this moment, Tian Gan still had many unanswered questions. He originally thought that this mysterious person was a member of the Nine Barbarian King Tribe. This was because the mysterious person had secretly sent him a message when he was at the Nine Barbarians Palace. However, now, this mysterious person had actually appeared in the chaotic Maze Valley of the Desolate Sea. Not only was this person very familiar with the situation here, but why was he so unpredictable? Then who exactly was he? This question puzzled him like a mystery, causing him to be unable to settle down for a long time.

Fan Yuzhen's thousand elite soldiers followed the mysterious man's directions and used the old horse to lead the way. They finally made it out of the Maze Valley in the dry sea before Young. At this moment, the sky had just begun to turn dark. The sun had already set in the west, and the new moon had already climbed up the treetops. As it was only the new moon, the light was not enough. Other than a few blurry figures that could be seen approaching the Celestial Fox Bamboo City, there was nothing else that could be distinguished.

"General, we're right in front of Fox Bamboo City. Why don't we leave all of our war horses here and only lead our elite soldiers to quietly build an Ouroboros Clan drum? We can catch him off guard while he's still not in time." Yang Duan saw that the entire army had already entered outside of the city, so he suggested this to Fan Yuzhen.

"Yes, Brother Yang is right. I wonder what Brother Tian Gan thinks?" Although Fan Yicheng felt that Yang Duohe's plan was not bad, he still sought his opinion for the sake of insurance.

"General Yang, you should be able to catch the enemy off guard this time. The great general won't interfere." Tian Gan also agreed with Yang Duohe's way, so he nodded in confirmation.

"Alright, then we'll follow Brother Tian's opinion and pass down the order: everyone shall pay their respects and surrender to the wall as they assail the city!"

After Fan Yuwen gave the order, the three thousand elite soldiers left behind all their supplies. They all took their weapons and ropes, and headed towards the Celestial Fox Bamboo City.

By the time they arrived at the entrance of Fox Bamboo City, it was already nineth-level. At this time, the Fox Tribe members, as usual, had already turned off the fire and were resting after having some wild merriment. Of course, they would not think that an enemy would secretly invade their city, so even the sentries that were normally in charge of the sentries were exhausted after their joys, causing them to fall into a deep slumber on the sentries.

The elite soldiers were divided into groups of ten according to Chu Yu's orders. Each group had a coin in their mouth, and they hid all the drums in order not to make any sound. They only acted according to the captain's gesture. He used the rope to hook himself at the top of the city, and then climbed up the rope with his bare hands, allowing himself to be let off into Fox Bamboo City. This was precisely the order given by Fan Yuzhen: To give up the drum and let the wall fall upon the city.

At this time, the Primordial Demon Ape didn't expect that this group of foreigners would be able to successfully pass through the Maze Valley of the Sea of Desolation. Moreover, it had already entered his Fox Bamboo City without anyone noticing.

"Chi, chi, chi ~ ~ ~" It had been many years since the guards of the Fox Bamboo City were attacked by any enemy army, and they were already used to such a leisurely lifestyle. At this moment, with the sound of their throats being cut open and their blood spraying out, they had unknowingly fallen into a deep sleep. What was even more saddening was that before they died, they did not even have the chance to let out a scream.

"Not good, not good, my lord! Some enemy soldiers have entered the city! " Chi Li Gu was drunk from his sleep, when he suddenly heard a loud shout in his ear, and immediately sat up in alarm. He saw a soldier at the head of the bed shouting at him in panic, and underneath the bed stood a group of unkempt and dirty tribe members.
