Chapter 141 The Burning Company
The advance troops moved forward for an hour and gradually entered the depths of the jungle of the Dirty Poison Grand Canyon. It was a dark night and the surrounding fog became thicker and denser. There was no starlight in the sky to shine through.
Fortunately, all the monks present had their own cultivation. After transforming into spiritual consciousness, their ears and eyes were sharp, and they could roughly perceive the movement within a radius of one foot, but they were unable to do anything further away.
A monk like Lin Shan who could release his spiritual consciousness in the foundation stage was also blocked by the surrounding poisonous mist. His consciousness could only spread about ten meters, which was simply reduced to the sensing range of the Qi training stage.
As the surrounding environment became worse and worse, and the poisonous mist in the mist became more and more intense, everyone held the Miasma-Removing Pill in their mouths and moved forward quietly while holding their breath. No one dared to make a sound, and no one cast a spell to illuminate the scene. They all moved forward in darkness.
In order to increase the strength of the advance team this time, the camp specially expanded Yan Yuanchun's men to thousands. Most of the later ones were loose cultivators who had recently invaded the mainland of the Song Dynasty and surrendered, and their cannon fodder nature remained unchanged.
The main purpose is to open roads across mountains and build bridges when encountering water, and to check for any dangers ahead in advance.
The large troops at the rear will wait until midnight tomorrow to follow up again. According to the intelligence sent back from the front, the corpses and battle traces on the road have avoided most dangers and preserved a large amount of vitality.
This time, Yan Yuanchun arranged the five foundation-building teams of the advance detachment respectively. One of the female cultivators led the lead, the other two protected the left and right flanks, Lin Shan led the rear, and Luan Chun followed Protector Yan himself in the center to provide support, forming a diamond-shaped formation.
Several people had no objections to this arrangement. Whoever had the biggest fist in the world of cultivation had the final say. Luan Chun is a direct disciple, so he should stay in the safest place. It is human nature to protect his shortcomings.
The most dangerous ones are those who lead the way and those in the rear. The first person in front to hit the mine is definitely the most dangerous. Those in the rear can easily fall behind and fall into isolation. This trip will not be easy for everyone.
Thousands of people were smearing their way forward. As they walked, they suddenly heard a series of screams from the front of the team, and scattered spell lights appeared, as if they had encountered some trouble.
"Stop, be alert!"
Lin Shan immediately stationed himself with hundreds of his men. These people were all followers of his missionary mission in the East China Sea, and all of them could understand the meaning of his envoy.
Seeing him raise his hand, several people around him stopped immediately, and everyone else stopped next to him. They huddled up against Linshan, and each one took out his magic weapon and talismans to activate at any time.
The surroundings are still filled with fog, and silence dominates the dark jungle. Only the occasional light and vague shouts in front are almost inaudible through the fog to the ears of the people behind.
A quarter of an hour later, news came from the Chinese army that the front team was attacked by a ferocious beast and had been eradicated. The rear team immediately followed up.
Lin Shan nodded, counted the number of his men, and continued to follow.
After advancing for about two or three miles, there was a sudden loud rustle in the surrounding woods, and faint black shadows fell from the sky.
"What?"
"No, I was bitten!"
"Get out of the way!"
"Toxic!"
……
Countless spell masks suddenly lit up all around, and chaotic arrows and sword energy shot out in all directions.
Under the bright light, thousands of colorful snakes shot out from both sides, some even spitting venom.
Lin Shan didn't dare to neglect it. He didn't know how toxic these things were and whether he would have any problems if he got them. He directly released the defensive weapon and took out the flying sword to surround himself.
This group of casual cultivators from the East China Sea usually look well-trained, but in fact they are just a ragtag group of people who will immediately disperse when in danger.
Except for Old Man Zhong and a few others who clung to him cleverly, the others spread themselves out in a chaotic manner, fighting each other, and the screams and shouts could not be heard.
Not only was his rear team in trouble, everyone in front was also overwhelmed by this sudden attack.
After fighting for a while, the surrounding ground was covered with a thick layer of snake corpses. It was not known how many they had killed. Lin Shan was fighting fires everywhere, relying on the high-level magic weapon to protect himself, and flying swords to move around.
The smell of blood and fishy stench filled the air, and the snakes were gradually killed and dispersed.
After a quarter of an hour, the shouts of killing stopped, and I checked the number of my men. I found that 12 people were slightly injured, 5 were seriously injured, 2 were missing, and no one was dead.
Those with minor injuries were all bitten by venomous snakes. After taking antidote pills and using spiritual power, they could barely suppress them. Those who were seriously injured were accidentally injured by friendly forces. After all, the darkness was messy and could easily be affected by unknown spells. There were also other monks who inadvertently stabbed the wrong opponent.
The missing person probably went deep into the jungle and lost contact. In these deep mountains and old forests, no one dares to leave the large army to search and rescue them, so they can only hope for themselves.
Lin Shan was also speechless. He had just come in for a while, and he was so embarrassed by an appetizer like a poisonous snake. These subordinates really looked at it but it was useless.
After all the teams in front were organized, Protector Yan didn't bother to count the casualties, and everyone continued to set off.
Later, we were attacked by venomous bees, venomous mosquitoes, and venomous ants on the road. They were so dense and overwhelming that we didn’t know how many venomous insects the Dirty Poison Grand Canyon had nurtured due to the thick fog that had kept the sun out of sight for countless years.
Trypophobia is something that even immortal cultivators are not immune to. Each and every one of them was hurriedly fanning the flames. They were buried in water and soil, and finally rushed out, and then broke into the habitat of the poison dart frog.
"Quack, quack~"
These poison dart frogs are no ordinary poisonous insects. Each of them is equivalent to Qi-training stage monsters, and there are even leaders in the foundation-building stage among them.
One or two is nothing, but when thousands of poisonous arrows during the Qi training period hit them, there was an instant scream!
Protector Yan, who was sitting in the middle, finally couldn't sit still anymore and directly used the strength of the Golden Core Stage to kill seven or eight Poison Dart Frog leaders in the Foundation Establishment Stage. However, the "croaking" noises all around him kept getting louder and louder.
All the sounds of these poison dart frogs are connected together, and they actually have the ability to affect the soul!
Many monks were dizzy, their limbs were weak, and they were so confused that they fell to the ground before they could resist the flying poisonous arrows.
Lin Shan had no choice in the face of a large group of magic attacks. He could only wrap the surrounding area with a cloud-falling flag and a cloud-copper mask on the outside. He led Old Man Zhong and others and rushed forward.
Everyone finally rushed out. Lin Shan looked distressedly at his cloud-copper breast shield, which was corroded by the venom and even had a few small holes in it.
He didn't have time to ask the Black Skeleton Demon King hanging on his body whether it could repair these holes with its weapon refining skills, when he suddenly discovered that there were several spiders lying on this defensive magic weapon!
The people around who had just stopped to take a breath started shouting again.
"No, there are poisonous spiders!"
"Quick, save me!"
"I can't shake them off! I can only chop them to death."
"Then don't chop me?!"
……
These poisonous spiders have a strong adhesion ability and cannot be removed from a monk's magic weapon or clothes.
Some lay on the defensive light shield and began to secrete venom and corrode. Countless spider webs connected instantly, and all the monks were stuck in the spider webs and could not move.
Lin Shan was also panicked now. The Cloud Bronze Heart Guard was a high-level magic weapon and could be penetrated by corrosion! This is the first time in his history of using this defensive weapon that it has been damaged by an external force!
There are more and more poisonous spiders around, and countless spider webs are connected. These poisonous spiders are obviously planning to delay everyone's escape, and then slowly consume them to death.
At some point, all the monks possessing fire-attribute skills all used the method of burning.
In order to escape, even Lin Shan activated the Five Elements Magic Fan to start burning the spider webs. The result was that the fire spread along the spider webs and "lit" all the friendly troops.
"Who is setting the fire?"
"Stop! Don't you know the spider web connects everyone?!"
"If I wasn't bitten to death by the poisonous spider, I would have been burned to death by you!"
"My mid-level defensive vestments were set on fire!"
……
Lin Shan took back the Five Elements Magic Fan with a guilty conscience and secretly apologized to the buddy whose cassock was burned by him. Strings of fire wires lit up around them, and the entire team was ablaze, with burning people running around.
Not only was his team taken care of by the poisonous spiders, but the four teams in front were also intercepted by the spider webs. Everyone wanted to burn the spider webs, but the burning turned into a burning camp.
The fire released by the monks during the Qi training period was not very powerful, and others used water or earth spells to extinguish it by flooding or burying them. The power of fire released during the foundation building stage was very great, especially when Lin Shan used the high-level magic weapon to set fire, and a group of young men around him were burned to the point of suffering.
What's even more outrageous is that on the side of the Chinese Army, Protector Jindan Qiyan suddenly got out of his head and unleashed his Samadhi True Fire!
The monk over there was directly burned by her and staggered around, and the smell of meat wafted over.
……
After escaping for who knows how long, they finally escaped from the dense forest and came to an open grassland in front of them. Everyone was relieved.
The dense forest behind seemed like a black hole that swallowed everything, exuding a terrifying aura. Everyone in the advance detachment who escaped was determined not to take a step back or go back to the dense forest. They would rather rush forward.
In front is a grassland half as high as a person, with no tall trees blocking it, and the line of sight is slightly wider. Although the fog is still heavy, the shadows and shadows can still bring some sense of security.
Protector Yan gathered his troops, and after a quick count, he found that the number of thousands of people was reduced by one-third.
Wei Kecha frowned. All this was no longer in her expectation. According to estimates, she shouldn't have lost so much. There was still a long way to go.
There were still more than seventy brothers left around Lin Shan, all of them were wounded and looking at him with resentment. The fire just now made them want to die. Later, in order to make up for his mistake, Lin Shan poured water on them with the Five Elements Fan, which made them choke again.
Following the large army, they continued to move forward and walked for hundreds of miles without encountering any attacks, which made everyone feel a little more relaxed. Until they saw a waterfall hanging in the sky on the right side in front of them, they all screamed with excitement.
“It’s so hot, and there’s a waterfall!”
"Great, hurry up and take a shower!"
"It almost burned me to death just now"
Lin Shan's men were fine, but Protector Yan's men were unbearably hot. They had just been burned by the true fire of Samadhi and were half-cooked, and the fire poison in their bodies was difficult to remove. When I saw the waterfall, I couldn't help but jump over one by one to cool off.
Yan Yuanchun looked at the crystal clear stream beside the waterfall, with pebbles lying on the river bed. It seemed like there was nothing wrong with it.
But why aren't there any fish?
The monks who rushed into the stream just wanted to feel refreshed, but as soon as they entered the water, their bones and flesh melted without warning, and they turned into a pile of mud with a look of horror on their faces and rushed downstream with the stream.
"The stream is poisonous, this is a poisonous spring!"
The rest of the people paused and quickly retreated. Looking at the clear stream and rumbling waterfall, they all felt cold.
……
After some repairs, the advance team set off again.
The calmness along the way made everyone a little confused. Why was there no life on the grass and all the poisonous insects and beasts disappeared?
But then they knew why.
"No, I'm stuck!"
"Pull me up quickly!"
"There's something pulling on me down there."
A series of exclamations came from the front. Many people were careless and fell into the swamp as soon as they lost their footing.
These swamps are so deep that people who fall in them instantly feel as if there is something pulling them down instead of suction. The person who was about to pull his companion up was accidentally pulled down.
"Don't save them!"
Yan Yuanchun's cold voice resounded throughout the team. After trying it just now, she found that even her golden elixir stage magic power could not be pulled up. This shows the horror of these quagmires. If it were anyone else, it would be useless except to take another life.
Everyone looked at each other and could only watch those people crying and cursing as they fell into the swamp until they disappeared.
No one accused Protector Yan of being ruthless. He only had one life for himself, and no one could sacrifice it for others. Moreover, I am originally a member of the Demonic Cult. What moral principles do you have with the Demonic Cult? It’s good if they don’t betray you!
"Release the mechanism puppet to explore the path."
Yan Yuanchun has hundreds of female nuns under her command, whom she trained directly from the brothels in Yichuanfang City.
In the past, little was lost under her protection. Now, after hearing the order, she methodically released wooden puppets one by one, manipulating them like marionettes to explore the way.
It was much better to have puppets explore the road ahead, as no one would get stuck in the quagmire and lose their lives.
However, as he walked, Lin Shan noticed that something was wrong with some of the people around him. Their faces were pale and their steps were sluggish. They looked like they had lost too much blood and had been soaked in water for a month. They were swollen like a balloon.
"Why are you like this?"
"I'm fine." The boy who was asked didn't realize what was wrong with him at all, and felt that Lin Shan was a little confused. But after being touched by someone next to me, I was suddenly horrified to find that I felt like I was leaking air and suddenly shriveled up!
"Poof~"
A living person turned into a piece of human skin and fell to the ground. He died in the blink of an eye.
"Rustling."
Then one by one, the blood-sucking locusts emerged from the human skin, hid in the grass and disappeared.
Not only was Lin Shan startled, everyone around him had goosebumps and quickly moved away from the fat man beside him.
The people who were attacked immediately stretched out their hands to Lin Shan in panic, hoping that the messenger would save them, but in the blink of an eye, they all began to leak air, human skins fell down one after another, and dense blood-sucking locusts fled in all directions.
"Check yourself quickly! Who is possessed?"
As Lin Shan shouted, he also started to check himself, but after looking around, he didn't see anything. On the other hand, the skull pendant hanging on his waist made a chewing sound of "click, click, click".
The Black Skeleton Demon King, who had turned into a mini size, was enjoying a midnight snack. He used small magic to shrink each locust into a smaller size, and it felt like eating gluten when held in his hand.
"Holy shit, are you disgusting?"
Lin Shan threw the goods out with a look of disgust. Those leeches specialized in sucking blood and were not a threat to the skeleton, but he was afraid.
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord, who had never had any presence before, quickly threw away all the "snacks" and hurriedly ran back to Lin Shan. With its small body, it would be a sure death if it stayed here, so it had to hug Lin Shan's thigh tightly.
"Don't be angry, I just helped you catch insects"
"Then stop messing around!"
"I know, I know."
After a while, everyone around them lost a lot of weight. It was obvious that everyone had been sucked by the locusts. This kind of poison can secrete an anesthetic toxin. The monk's spiritual sense and senses are disabled, and he is infected without any awareness.
After once again clearing up their tired mood, everyone embarked on the journey again. The environment finally changed again, and a sea of colorful flowers appeared in front of them.
In the dark canyon, a sea of colorful flowers exudes an alluring fragrance, butterflies are dancing, bees are busy, and the cliffs on both sides of the canyon are illuminated.
Everyone stopped, and based on common sense in the world of cultivation, a thought flashed through their minds: This is so damn deceitful!
The problem is that even if you know there is a scam, you have to go through it! Even if they were asked to go back, they wouldn't have the guts.
Protector Yan, who was a master of art, was bold and walked to the sea of flowers, stretched out his hand and touched a delicate flower.
In everyone's astonished eyes, the flower "obediently" rubbed her hand affectionately, as if it was very "sensible".
"Everyone, keep moving forward, don't destroy any flowers or grass here."
Protector Yan gave the order, and no one in the advance team refused to obey. Everyone walked into the sea of flowers cautiously, each one tiptoeing cautiously, for fear that the surrounding flowers and plants would burst out and hurt someone.
Lin Shan always felt that the flower must be poisonous if it was so beautiful, and the butterflies and bees were probably not much better. He took the insect-repelling and detoxifying pills in his mouth, but to his surprise, everything went smoothly along the way.
The boys around me gradually realized that these flowers and plants were no threat, and they gradually felt relieved.
However, due to their negligence, a monk who was walking at the very end was suddenly swallowed by a flower next to him with open mouth, and no one in front of him knew it!
Along the way, the one who fell behind in the end was always eaten. By the time Lin Shan noticed something was wrong, there were less than fifty men behind him.
"Huh? Something's wrong. Where are the people behind?"
Everyone in his team turned their heads and discovered that on the head of the last person at the end of the team, a delicate flower suddenly grew larger, and its six petals opened to reveal a huge mouth full of sharp teeth, and they were about to take a bite out of this unlucky guy who was lagging behind. Swallow it!
"."
But with so many people looking at it, the flower seemed a little embarrassed and it was hard to eat, so it had to retract its mouth in dismay, and the petals closed and turned back into a flower.
Seeing everyone staring directly at him, the lone monk looked around in confusion and found nothing unusual, so he had to stare at the people in front of him.
But when they turned back, a sunflower more than three meters high quietly bent down beside Old Man Zhong next to Linshan, opened its bloody mouth, and covered Old Man Zhong in one fell swoop!
Fortunately, this old thing had a few brushes, but when he was about to be suffocated by the sunflower flower demon, he suddenly started struggling with his two hands inside, leaving the two outer legs still flapping around.
Everyone else was shocked! They all jumped away, frightened when they saw the three-meter-tall flower demon with a fierce look on his face.
Lin Shan was furious in an instant. This old man Zhong was a good preacher and a rare internal affairs talent under him. How could he not save him even though he was about to die?
The moment a sword light shot out, the flower demon was cut off by its roots.
Old Man Zhong quickly took out his upper body from the big mouth of the orangutan basin, touched a handful of the yellow mucus on his face, and with a look of disbelief, he set fire to the sea of flowers around him in revenge.
"Stop!"
Lin Shan's words were obviously too late. Old Man Zhong was a big deal-breaker and directly aroused public outrage.
In the past, the flower demons were intimidated by Protector Yan's golden elixir-level strength and only dared to steal the food in secret. Now they were directly provoked and simply stopped pretending.
Countless flower demons in the sea of flowers grew wildly in an instant, baring their teeth and claws like a group of demons dancing wildly. Yan Yuanchun in front also noticed something was wrong and was just about to ask what happened when all the flower demons around him instantly launched a sneak attack.
The morning glory, jasmine, morning glory, sunflower, periwinkle, peony, and lily all changed their appearance. One by one, they opened their flower bones and "puff-puff-puff" and launched "hidden weapons" at the advance team.
"Dang Dang Dang!~"
All the monks hurriedly offered up defensive magic weapons and talismans, and the light mask was slapped with flowers and grass seeds of different sizes.
Especially the pea shooters mixed in there, who smashed their peas one after another, making everyone's heads buzz.
Lin Shan was being beaten while pulling the younger brothers around him to rush forward. Old Man Zhong kept shouting "Ouch", and his nose and face were bruised and swollen by countless "melon seeds". Apparently, he had attracted the "key care" of the Sunflower clan.
Everyone didn't care about anything at this time. They rushed forward crazily and started to fight with spells. The strong and strange flower demons were blasted to pieces, and countless more flower demons were added behind them.
Who knows how many vegetation and monsters are hidden in this sea of flowers.
Lin Shan caught several hidden weapons while running, and the enhanced panel directly displayed transparent information in his eyes.
【Chrysanthemum seeds】
Quality: Intermediate spiritual object
Introduction: Xiantian Lingju can be used to make chrysanthemum tea, which is delicious and fragrant with a long aftertaste.
Strengthening requirements: 16 points
……
"What the hell? Lingju?"
Lin Shan looked at the seeds in his hand, raised his head and looked into the distance, where several two-meter-high chrysanthemum demons were looking angrily at him.
An idea flashed in his mind and he suddenly thought, wouldn't he have the seeds to build an army by sowing beans in the future?
While he was escaping, he began to frantically collect the seeds shot from both sides, refining the bean soldiers while collecting them,
Anyway, these flower demons don't feel bad, they have plenty of seeds. So many years have passed, but when I get the chance to meet human monks and break into the Dirty Poison Grand Canyon, I can just play the shooting game as much as I can.
Lin Shan was in pain and happiness, and all the boys around him were shot with bruises on their noses and faces, and they were limping when they walked.
Not to mention that these flower demons were really accurate in beating them. Some of them had been beaten by the wretched flower demons until they bowed their backs and fell to the ground like shrimps, unable to run away.
No one can care so much and just want to run away first. At the same time, I secretly complained about Old Man Zhong, why are you provoking others if nothing happens?
In just one stick of incense, Lin Shan collected a storage bag full of seeds. Two of the seeds are huge and plump, with a round color and a flowing halo. At first glance, they are the descendants of a thousand-year-old demon!
【Hard pod peas】
Quality: High-level spiritual object
Introduction: A high-end crop in the world of cultivation, spiritual food tastes very good and can improve cultivation after use.
Strengthening requirements: 32 points
……
Lin Shan raised his head, and this time he saw two four-meter-high peashooters staring at him angrily. It was obvious that he had been unhappy with Lin Shan for a long time, but he didn't expect that a failed sneak attack would end up costing him a lot of rice.
These two seeds may be expensive to sell to the outside world of cultivation, and many cultivation families may have to fight for them. However, if they are used as soldiers and refined into "bean soldiers", they will be close to the combat power of the foundation-building stage.
Lin Shan waved provocatively at the two "pea demons", but the two thousand-year-old demons obviously didn't want to give him offspring, so they turned their guns and fired towards the other side. There were quite a few "young" little pea vines who shot at him randomly, but Lin Shan blocked them with disgust.
As the saying goes, he has gained the opportunity to look forward to Shu, and now he couldn't help but feel jealous. It would be great if there was a golden elixir stage plant spirit monster that was tens of thousands of years old at this time. He picked up the seeds and made bean soldiers, which were directly comparable to the golden elixir stage combat power. How about that? Don’t just go sideways during the foundation building period!
"唳～"
Perhaps in order to comply with his request, a loud roar resounded through the canyon in the center of the sea of flowers in the distance. A huge and cold spiritual consciousness swept over everyone's heads, and a shocking force locked in here. Even Protector Yan in front couldn't help but His expression changed drastically.
In the blink of an eye, a ten-meter-high "corn" plant rose up, and the corn stalks on it were four meters in size. It was simply an enlarged version of the "corn cannon"!
Although this corn spirit has been growing in the Dirty Poison Grand Canyon for tens of thousands of years, it does not seem to be very intelligent. Just while sleeping, I heard a group of people of the same race having fun outside. After waking up, I immediately joined in excitedly.
Lin Shan didn't dare to pay attention when he saw this posture. If the corn stick fell down, he would probably be dead, so he could only run away in a hurry.
……
Half an hour later, the advance team finally rushed out of the sea of flowers. The map changed before their eyes, and an endless stone forest appeared.
"Is it over yet!?"
"I really can't walk! Let me go!"
"Destroy it, I'm tired!"
Everyone lay down, feeling that the world was dark and life was really boring. This Gouba Canyon stretches for three thousand miles, and we have barely reached half of it! Next, they really don’t want to go in.
They were just a group of low-level monks who had been living freely in the East China Sea. Why did they come to this hellish place to suffer?
Yan Yuanchun's aura was also fluctuating at this time. There were countless vegetation and monsters in the sea of flowers, and they were too numerous to kill. In the end, a total of seven or eight flowers and plants that were comparable to the golden elixir stage were awakened. If she hadn't run so fast, she would have fallen into it.
"After passing this stone forest, all that's left is the miasma and phantom wind belt. Cheer up and rush out immediately."
Protector Yan's words could not arouse the fighting spirit of the lower class. Now the advance team has lost more than half of its troops. If it were the loss of 30% of the mortal army, the morale of the army would have collapsed.
But now that there is no place to go, no store to go, and being stuck here is not an option, we still have to find a way out.
By this time, the sky was getting brighter, and the fog had dispersed a little. Everyone gathered around to estimate the time, and it was almost the next day's hour.
According to the previous agreement, the army led by the real master in the rear should move into the valley.
Everyone suggested that it would be better to wait for the army here. It would be safer to move together then. If we talk about opening the road, except for the stone forest in front of us, we are basically halfway done.
Protector Yan thought for a while and nodded. He had suffered heavy losses last night and it was really not appropriate to continue moving forward, so he ordered to rest in place and wait for reinforcements.
But what they didn't know was that things were completely different from what they imagined.
……
At the entrance of the Dirty Poison Grand Canyon, tens of thousands of Black Lotus cultivators were ready to go, standing in solemn silence.
The real master of the teaching stood on the general platform, closed his eyes and calmed down, waiting for the opportunity.
A Black Lotus Sect protector in the audience came forward to report that the hour had arrived.
All the monks waited all night and were still in high spirits and with high morale.
These people are all elites from the Black Lotus Sect's Lu headquarters. They are all elite disciples who were born and raised in the Demonic Sect and grew up in intrigues. They are the main force in this war.
To everyone's expectation, the real master did not order to enter the valley, but directly boarded the rune battleship in the sky.
"Everyone board the ship, target Dongmen Pass!"
Groups of demon disciples boarded the magic weapon flying boat, and a ship took off, turned its bow and sailed directly to another entrance to the south. A city pass established by a secular dynasty in the Luosong Mountains.
Dongmenguan!
This is the real goal of this central theater.
As for the advance detachment that entered the Dirty Poison Grand Canyon to explore the road last night, they were just abandoned soldiers who pretended to attack the enemy.
