Chapter 171: Evil in the Dry Forest

After a day of marching, you can vaguely see the burning forests ahead.

Ran Jiao heard Lin Chu's military order to rest on the spot, then held the hilt of the knife with both hands and inserted it downwards and penetrated it into the ground.

The power of ice spreads out, the ground cools down quickly, and soon a clearing land suitable for camping is formed.

The Sharp Shooting Camp fell into power and then began to rest.

The flame was still burning, and the smell of burnt smell was everywhere. The scent of the thick protein was burnt everywhere. In a sudden, a piece of white bone that had not yet turned into ash could be seen.

In this case, the soldiers didn’t even feel any appetite… Not everyone could eat with the smell of ‘human meat barbecue’.

What Wang Qi could do was to cast a "clean coat spell barrier" on his tent, clean up all the dust in this range, and dispel those bad smells.

Then he took out the "soap shield" that had completely become a pot, asked Ran Jiao to use the "Qingquan Curse" to make some water, and then started to start a small stove by himself.

Since he had this "pot", he hadn't eaten food made by the soldiers for a long time.

It was obviously the first to use it to increase its own defense... As a result, for now, it has become another shape.

There was nothing to say that night, everyone was in a state of "make up" and adaptation... Walking in the ashes was at least much safer than walking directly into the mountains and forests.

The next day, he continued to march, and Ran Jiao was still clearing the way ahead.

Compared to the first day, she swung the knife less quickly, but the freezing air she swept farther every time.

She has indeed begun to improve.

So in this way, she spent her energy to the limit again and again before recovering and continuing to move forward.

After only twenty miles of marching every day, they finally arrived at the foot of the third mountain on the afternoon of the third day. The steep peaks blocked the wildfires and prevented them from spreading to the other end.

To pass through this steep third ridge, they must pass through a narrow mountain path.

This is one of the results of Wang Qi's investigation, but it came in handy at this time.

"Start up the march, and Xu Ping, you take the scout team to explore the way forward... Wang Qi, you go too. These scouts are all novices and need your "Shijie Divine Arrow" to take care of you from behind." Lin Chu issued an order again.

Wang Qi nodded, but walked out of the "Divine Bow Guard" beside Lin Chu with Xu Ping, clasped his fists and agreed to the promise, and then he acted separately.

Xu Ping went to greet his scouts, while Wang Qi took the lead... He said that the scouts should go first, but Wang Qi wanted to take the lead to eliminate some "non-human" dangers for these scouts.

This is a mountain road sandwiched between two peaks. Although there are quite a distance between the two peaks, the undulating mountains make the mountain road wind and winding in the mountains.

The only advantage is that this road is quite flat.

Wang Qi flew lightly with the "Flying Swallow Step", and then climbed up quickly along the right mountain.

The mountain on the right is steeper and taller. He first needs to find the commanding heights and make sure that there are no enemies ambushing the peaks on both sides.

It took less than a quarter of an hour to reach this mountain that was probably six or seven hundred meters high.

Then he wanted to look around, at least he had confirmed that there were no ambushing on the high points on both sides of the mountain road... Think about it, ambushing in this terrain was just a normal thinking of marching and fighting, but their enemies at this time were not ordinary enemies but a group of Taoist warlocks. Perhaps they had already prepared for the way of the warlocks.

So everyone could say that they passed through this third mountain that should have been a natural barrier without any danger.

Then they faced the continuous hilly area in the fourth mountain.

But there have been great changes here and Wang Qi and the others when they came here last time.

When Wang Qi and Ran Jiao came here last year, although there were not many animals in the forest, at least there were still some, and the forest vegetation was also lush.

But now...

The purpose of this place is a bare dead forest, as if this woodland has been ‘dead’.

Seeing this, Lin Chu's eyes leaped for a moment, and then ordered again without hesitation: "Build an altar, prepare fuel!"

Sure enough, he was going to burn it for a second time.

Even if the forest was full of dead trees at this time, he was not ready to take the risk of walking in like this... Let the flames do the first test.

Lin Chu once again put on clothes similar to priests and 'dance' on the altar. This was his wind prayer ceremony.

But unlike the last time, he jumped for a long time before he started to feel a little windy.

Wang Qi felt something and looked at the mountains they were leaning against, but he understood that this ceremony might also have requirements for the terrain.

At least it is easier to complete the ritual in places where air is easy to circulate in open areas, but it will be more difficult in places where air is difficult to circulate in a large area against a mountain.

But the wind still started, but it was not as violent as before.

Then the archers began to draw bows and set rockets, preparing to burn the mountains and forests again.

It was indeed effective at first, at least the trees near the third ridge were lit, and the fire began to spread south under the strong wind...

However, when the wildfire spread to the rolling hilly areas, it dimmed for no reason and then quickly went out...

The fire didn't last long, or it didn't spread into the dead woodland at all.

"It's useless. The evil energy is too heavy. Unless the heavenly fire comes, ordinary wildfires may not spread."

Mo Sheng suddenly said, obviously he had seen something.

Lin Teng nodded, but felt like he was "unexpected".

He took a deep breath and said, "The whole army formed a formation and moved slowly... Don't panic, remember that you must form an army formation at any time and cannot act alone... I believe in your robes, only with them are the safest ones."

He was worried and explained a few more words.

Using military force to resist evil spirits was a strategy he decided from the beginning, so he specially selected people to practice this sharp shooting camp.

For this reason, he did not even choose tall and strong people like ordinary recruits, but instead chose more people who seemed honest and were more willing to obey orders.

These people are not so confident in themselves, so they will naturally think more about relying on the collective.

But the military power needs collective strength.

So this unit is not good in terms of military source, but it is the only choice in Lin Chu's heart to quickly build a military force.

So the spearmen opened the way forward, the sword and shield soldiers guarded the flanks, and the sharpshooter began to march into the dead forest, and they had to face real challenges.
