Immortal Road.

Chapter 141 Burning Camp
The advance team marched for an hour and gradually entered the depths of the jungle of the Grand Canyon of Contaminated Drugs. It was pitch black at night and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. The fog around them became thicker and thicker, and there was no starlight from the sky to shine through.

Fortunately, all the cultivators present had cultivation experience and after their spiritual consciousnesses were transformed, they had sharp ears and eyes, and could roughly sense the movements within a radius of ten feet around them. They were helpless beyond that.

Cultivators like Lin Shan who can project their spiritual consciousness during the Foundation Establishment Stage are also blocked by the surrounding poisonous fog. Their spiritual consciousness can only spread about ten meters, which is basically relegated to the sensing range of the Qi Condensation Stage.

As the surrounding environment became worse and worse, and the poisonous fog in the air became thicker and thicker, everyone held the anti-miasma pills in their mouths, held their breath and moved forward quietly. No one dared to make a sound, and no one cast spells to illuminate, all moving forward in the dark.

In order to increase the strength of the advance team, the camp specially expanded Yan Yuanchun's men to thousands of people. Most of them were casual cultivators who had recently invaded the Song Dynasty and surrendered, and their nature as cannon fodder remained unchanged.

The main purpose is to build roads through mountains, build bridges across rivers, and to check in advance for any dangers ahead.

The large force in the rear will wait until tomorrow morning to follow up again. According to the intelligence sent back from the front, the corpses and traces of battle on the road will avoid most of the dangers and preserve a large number of manpower.

This time, Yan Yuanchun arranged the five Foundation Establishment Stage members of the advance detachment separately. One of the female cultivators led the vanguard, the other two protected the left and right flanks, Lin Shan led the rear guard, and Luanchun followed Protector Yan in the middle to coordinate, forming a diamond-shaped formation.

The few people had no objection to this arrangement. In the world of cultivation, whoever has the bigger fist has the final say. Luanchun is a direct disciple, so it is reasonable for him to stay in the middle, the safest place. It is human nature to protect one's shortcomings.

The most dangerous ones are those who lead the way and those who leave the rear. The first one to step on the minefield will definitely have the highest risk, while those who leave the rear will easily fall behind and become isolated. This trip is not easy for anyone.

Thousands of people were marching forward in the dark. Suddenly, they heard a series of screams coming from the front of the team. Sporadic magical lights appeared, as if they had encountered some trouble.

"Stop, be on guard!"

Lin Shan immediately stationed there with hundreds of his men. These people were all his followers who followed him to preach in the East China Sea. Each of them could understand what their envoy meant.

Seeing him raise his hand, several people around him stopped immediately, and the others followed suit and all stopped, huddled together around Lin Shan, and took out their magic tools and talismans, ready to activate at any time.

The surroundings were still filled with fog, and silence dominated the dark jungle. Only the occasional dots of light and unclear shouts in front of them penetrated the fog and were almost inaudible to the people behind them.

A quarter of an hour later, news came from the central army that the team leading the way in front had been attacked by a ferocious beast, which had now been eliminated, and the rear guard team would follow immediately.

Lin Shan nodded, counted the number of his men and continued to follow.

After walking about two or three miles, there was a sudden "rustling" sound in the surrounding woods, and faint black shadows fell from the sky.

"what?"

"Oh no, I was bitten!"

"Quickly open!"

"poisonous!"

……

Countless magic shields lit up all around in an instant, and a chaotic rain of arrows and sword energy shot in all directions.

In the bright light, thousands of colorful venomous snakes shot out from both sides, some of which were spewing venom.

Lin Shan didn't dare to neglect it. He didn't know how toxic these things were and whether he would be in trouble if he touched them. He directly put out the defensive magic weapon and took out the flying sword to surround himself.

These East China Sea cultivators usually look well-trained, but they are actually just a mob that will scatter like birds and beasts when they encounter danger.

Except for a few smart guys like Old Man Zhong who stuck close to him, the others moved away in a mess, fighting in their own groups, with screams and shouts ringing in the ears.

Not only did his rear guard team get into trouble, but everyone in the front was also overwhelmed by the sudden attack.

After a while of fighting, the ground was covered with a thick layer of snake corpses, and no one knew how many they had killed. Lin Shan was putting out fires everywhere, relying on his high-level magic weapon to protect himself and urging his flying sword to travel around.

The smell of blood and stench filled the air, and the snakes were gradually killed and dispersed.

A quarter of an hour later the shouting and killing stopped. He counted the number of his men and found 12 were slightly injured, 5 were seriously injured, 2 were missing, and no one was dead.

The lightly injured ones were bitten by poisonous snakes, and after taking the detoxification pills, they could barely suppress the pain with their spiritual power. The seriously injured ones were accidentally injured by friendly forces, after all, it was a mess in the darkness, and it was easy to be affected by unknown spells, and other monks accidentally stabbed the wrong opponent.

The missing ones probably ran into the deep forest and lost contact. In this deep forest, no one dared to leave the main force to search and rescue them, so they could only hope for the best.

Lin Shan was also speechless. He had just come in for a while and was already in such a mess because of the appetizer like the poisonous snake. These subordinates were really good-looking but useless.

After the teams in the front had been reorganized, Protector Yan was too lazy to count the casualties, and everyone continued on their journey.

Later on the road, we encountered attacks from poisonous bees, mosquitoes and ants. They were so dense and overwhelming that we could not see the sky. We did not know how many poisonous insects had been bred in the Dirty Poison Canyon because of the fog that had shrouded it for countless years and had blocked the sun.

Even cultivators are not immune to trypophobia. They are in a hurry to fan the flames, and finally rush out, only to run into the habitat of poison dart frogs.

"Quack, quack~"

These poison dart frogs are not ordinary poisonous insects. Each of them is equivalent to a demon beast in the Qi training stage, and there are even some leaders in the foundation building stage among them.

One or two are nothing, but when thousands of poisonous arrows from the Qi training stage hit you, there will be wailing all around instantly!
The Dharma Protector Yan, who was sitting in the center, could no longer sit still, and directly used his Jindan stage strength to forcefully kill seven or eight Foundation Establishment stage poison dart frog leaders. However, the noisy "quack" sounds around him continued to increase.

All the sounds of these poison dart frogs connected together have the ability to affect the soul!
Many monks felt dizzy and weak in their limbs. They fell to the ground in a daze, without having time to defend themselves against the flying poisonous arrows.

Lin Shan had no way to deal with the large-scale magic attack. He could only wrap the surroundings with the Cloud-Falling Banner, and then put a layer of cloud copper light shield on the outside. He then rushed forward with Old Man Zhong and others.

Everyone finally rushed out. Lin Shan looked at his cloud copper heart shield with heartache. It was corroded by the venom and had pits and even a few small transparent holes.

He didn't have time to ask the Black Skull Demon Lord hanging on his body whether his weapon-making skills could repair the holes, before he suddenly discovered that there were a few spiders lying on this defensive magic weapon!

The people around who had just stopped to catch their breath started shouting again.

"Oh no, there are poisonous spiders!"

"Quick, save me!"

"I can't shake them off! I can only chop them to death."

"Then don't cut me?!"

……

These poisonous spiders have a strong ability to stick to each other, and once they stick to a monk's magical tools or clothes, it is impossible to get them off.

Some of them lay on the defensive light shield and began to secrete venom to corrode it. Countless spider webs were instantly connected with a "hissing" sound, and all the monks were stuck in the spider webs and unable to move.

Lin Shan was also panicking now. The Cloud Copper Heart Mirror was a high-level magic weapon, but it could be corroded and penetrated! This was the first time that this defensive magic weapon was damaged by external forces in his history!

There were more and more poisonous spiders around, with countless spider webs connected. These poisonous spiders were obviously trying to delay everyone's escape and then slowly kill them.

At some point, all the cultivators who possessed fire-attributed skills began to use fire as a means of burning.

Even Lin Shan activated the Five Elements Magic Fan to burn the spider web in order to escape. As a result, the fire spread along the spider silk and "burned" all the friendly forces.

"Who the hell is setting the fire?"

"Stop it! Don't you know that the spider web is connecting everyone together?!"

"If I wasn't bitten to death by the poisonous spider, I would have been burned to death by you!"

"My intermediate defensive vestments are on fire!"

……

Lin Shan took back the Five Elements Magic Fan with a guilty conscience, and secretly apologized to the buddy whose robes he had burned. Strings of fire lines lit up around him, and the whole team was ablaze, with firemen running around.

Not only his team was taken care of by the poisonous spiders, the four teams in front were also intercepted by spider webs. Everyone thought of burning the spider webs, but it turned out that the whole camp was burned down.

The fire set off by the Qi training cultivators was not very powerful, and others could put it out by using water or earth spells, or by drowning or burying them. The fire set off by the foundation building cultivators was very powerful, especially when Lin Shan used a high-level magic weapon to set the fire, and the group of brothers around him were burned by him and suffered terribly.

What's even more outrageous is that on the central side, the Jindan-stage guardian Yan suddenly had a brain attack and directly released his Samadhi True Fire!

The monks over there were burned to pieces by her, and the aroma of meat wafted over.

……

After running for an unknown amount of time, they finally escaped from the dense forest and came to an open grassland in front of them. Everyone felt relieved.

The dense forest behind was like a black hole that swallowed everything, emitting a terrifying atmosphere. All the members of the advance team who escaped from the danger had made up their minds not to take a step back and never wanted to go back to the dense forest again, preferring to rush forward.

In front of us was a grass field half a person's height, without any tall trees blocking the view, so the view was slightly wider. Although the fog was still thick, the shadows still gave us a sense of security.

Protector Yan gathered his troops and, after a rough count, discovered that one third of the team of thousands of people was missing.

Wei Bucha frowned. All this was beyond her expectations. According to her estimation, the loss should not be so great. There was still a long way to go.

There were still more than 70 men around Lin Shan, all of them were wounded and looked at him with resentment, because the fire just now made them feel like they were in heaven. Later, in order to make up for his mistake, Lin Shan used the Five Elements Magic Fan to pour a handful of water on them, soaking them again.

Following the main force and moving forward for hundreds of miles without encountering any attacks, everyone felt a little relaxed. Until they saw a waterfall hanging in the sky on the right side in front of them, they all shouted excitedly.

“It’s so hot, it’s so hot, and there’s a waterfall!”

"Great, go take a shower!"

"You almost scalded me to death just now"

Lin Shan's men were fine, but Yan Hufa's men were suffering from the heat. They were half-cooked by the Samadhi True Fire just now, and the fire poison in their bodies was hard to get rid of. Seeing the waterfall, they couldn't help but jump over to cool off.

Yan Yuanchun looked at the crystal clear stream beside the waterfall and the pebbles lying on the riverbed. It seemed that there was nothing wrong.

But why is there not a single fish?
The monks who rushed into the stream were just planning to have some fun, but as soon as they entered the water, their flesh and bones melted away without any warning, and with looks of horror on their faces, they turned into a pool of mud and were washed downstream by the stream.

"The stream water is poisonous, this is a poisonous spring!"

The rest of the people paused and quickly retreated, looking at the clear stream and the rumbling waterfall, their hearts chilled.

……

After some rest, the advance team set out again.

The tranquility along the way made everyone a little confused. Why was there no life on the grass, and all the poisonous insects and ferocious beasts disappeared?
But then they knew why.

"Oh no, I'm trapped!"

"Pull me up quickly!"

"Something is pulling at me from below."

A series of screams came from the front, and many people were not careful and fell into the swamp.

These swamps were bottomless, and those who fell in felt as if something was pulling them down instead of suction. Those who tried to pull their companions up were also pulled down because they were not paying attention.

"Don't save them!"

Yan Yuanchun's cold voice resounded throughout the entire team. She had just tried and found that even her Jindan stage magic power could not be pulled up. This showed how terrifying these quagmires were. If it were someone else, it would be useless except for sacrificing another life.

Everyone looked at each other and could only watch those people crying, shouting and cursing as they fell into the swamp until they disappeared.

No one accused Guardian Yan of being cold-blooded and heartless. No one can sacrifice their lives for others. Besides, they are originally members of the Demon Sect. What morality can you talk to the Demon Sect about? It's good enough that they don't sell you out!
"Release the mechanical puppets to explore the way."

Yan Yuanchun has hundreds of female cultivators under her command, who are her direct descendants trained in the brothels in Yichuanfang City.

Previously, under her protection, there were few losses. Now, after hearing the order, they released the wooden puppets one by one in an orderly manner, and controlled them like puppets to explore the way forward.

The journey ahead was much easier with puppets leading the way, and no one got stuck in the quagmire and died.

But as he walked, Lin Shan discovered that there was something wrong with some of the people around him. They looked pale and unsteady, as if they had lost too much blood or had been soaked in water for a month, and their bodies were swollen like balloons.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you like this?"

"I'm fine." The younger brother who was being questioned had no idea what was wrong with him, and thought Lin Shan was a little weird. But when he was touched by someone next to him, he suddenly found out with horror that he seemed to be leaking air, and he suddenly shrank!
"Pfft~"

A living person turned into a piece of human skin and fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, he was deader than dead.

"Rustling."

Then, one by one, blood-sucking leeches crawled out from the human skin, hid in the grass and disappeared.

This time, not only Lin Shan was shocked, but everyone around him got goosebumps and quickly moved away from the fat man beside him.

The people who were hit immediately reached out to Lin Shan in fear, wanting the messenger to save them, but in the blink of an eye, they all began to lose air, pieces of human skin fell down, and dense blood-sucking leeches fled in all directions.

"Check the body quickly! Who is possessed?"

Lin Shan shouted and began to check himself, but he looked around and saw nothing. However, the skull pendant hanging on his waist made a "crunching" sound.

The Black Skeleton Demon King, who had turned into a miniature, was enjoying his midnight snack. He used a small spell to shrink the leeches one by one, and held them in his hands like eating gluten.

"Fuck, you're disgusting."

Lin Shan threw the goods out with a look of disgust. Those leeches specialized in sucking blood and posed no threat to the skeleton, but he was afraid of them.

The Black Skeleton Demon Lord, who had previously had little presence, quickly threw away all the "snacks" and hurried back to Lin Shan. It would be a death sentence for it to stay here, so it had to hold on to Lin Shan's thighs.

"Don't be angry, I was just helping you catch bugs."

"Then stop messing around!"

"I know, I know."

After a while of chaos, everyone around them had lost a lot of weight, obviously everyone had been sucked a lot of blood and flesh by the leeches. This kind of poisonous insect can secrete a kind of anesthetic toxin, which makes the monks' spiritual perception and senses lose their function, and they are caught without any consciousness.

After putting away our tiredness, we set out on our journey again. The environment ahead finally changed, and a sea of ​​colorful flowers appeared before our eyes.

In the dark canyon, the colorful sea of ​​flowers exudes an alluring fragrance, butterflies dance gracefully, swarms of 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, the same thought flashed through everyone's mind: This must be a trick!
The problem is that even though they knew it was a trap, they couldn't help but go! Even if they were asked to go back, they didn't have the courage to do so.

Protector Yan was a skilled and courageous man. He walked to the front of the sea of ​​flowers and reached out to touch a beautiful flower.

Amid everyone's astonished gaze, the flower "obediently" rubbed against her hand affectionately, appearing to be very "sensible".

"Everyone keep moving forward. Do not destroy any flowers or plants here."

Guardian Yan gave the order, and everyone in the advance team followed it. They walked into the sea of ​​flowers with trepidation, tiptoeing carefully, fearing that the surrounding flowers and plants would suddenly rise up and hurt people.

Lin Shan always felt that this flower that looked so beautiful must be poisonous, and the butterflies and bees were probably not much better, so he put all the insect repellent and detoxification pills in his mouth, but to his surprise, he was safe and sound throughout the journey.

The younger brothers around him gradually discovered that these flowers and plants posed no threat, and they gradually put their minds at ease.

However, due to their negligence, a monk walking at the back was suddenly swallowed by a flower next to him, and no one in front knew about it!
As they walked along this way, the one who fell behind was always eaten. By the time Lin Shan realized something was wrong, there were less than fifty of his men left.

"Hmm? Something's wrong. Where's the person behind?"

Everyone in his team turned their heads and found that on the head of the last person in the team, a delicate flower bud suddenly grew larger, and its six petals opened to reveal a huge mouth full of sharp teeth, ready to swallow up the unlucky guy who had fallen behind!
"."

However, being stared at by so many people, the flower seemed a little embarrassed to eat it, so it reluctantly retracted its mouth, and its petals closed and turned back into a bud.

The lone monk saw that everyone was staring at him. He looked around confused, but found nothing unusual, so he could only stare at the person in front of him.

But when they turned around, a sunflower more than three meters high quietly bent down beside Old Man Zhong next to Lin Shan, opened its bloody mouth, and covered Old Man Zhong in an instant!

Fortunately, this old guy was quite capable. When he was about to be suffocated by the sunflower demon, he suddenly struggled with his two hands inside, leaving his two legs outside still flapping.

The others were all startled! They quickly jumped away, terrified by the ferocious look on the face of this three-meter-tall flower demon.

Lin Shan was instantly furious. This old man Zhong was an expert at preaching and a rare internal affairs talent under his command. How could he just stand by and watch him die?
At that moment, a sword light shot out and the flower demon was cut off at the root.

Old man Zhong quickly took his upper body out of the ape's mouth, wiped the yellow mucus off his face, and with an incredible look on his face, he set fire to the surrounding sea of ​​flowers in revenge.

"stop!"

Lin Shan's words were obviously too late. Old man Zhong had really caused a big mess and aroused public anger.

The original flower demons were frightened by the Jindan stage strength of Guardian Yan and only dared to eat secretly. Now that they were directly provoked, they simply stopped pretending.

Countless flower demons in the sea of ​​flowers suddenly grew wildly, baring their fangs and claws like a group of demons dancing wildly. Yan Yuanchun in front also found something wrong and was about to ask what happened when all the flower demons around him launched a sneak attack.

The morning glory, jasmine, morning glory, sunflower, chamomile, peony, and lily all changed their appearance. They opened their flower buds one after another and "poofed" fired "hidden weapons" at the advance team.

“Ding ding ding!~”

All the monks hurriedly took out their defensive magic weapons and talismans, and the light shield was crackling under the overwhelming flower seeds and grass seeds of various sizes.

Especially the pea shooters mixed in, who threw beans at everyone, making their heads buzz.

While being beaten, Lin Shan pulled his younger brothers forward. Old man Zhong kept crying out "Ahhh" and was beaten black and blue by countless "melon seeds". It was obvious that he had attracted the "special attention" of the Sunflower Clan.

Everyone didn't care about anything at this time. They rushed forward madly and started to exchange spells. One after another, the strong and beautiful flower demons were blown to pieces, and countless more flower demons followed.

God knows how many plant and wood monsters are hidden in this sea of ​​flowers.

Lin Shan caught several hidden weapons while running, and the enhanced panel showed transparent information directly in his eyes.

【Lingju seeds】

Quality: Intermediate spiritual object

Introduction: Xiantian Lingju can be used to make chrysanthemum tea, which is delicious and fragrant with a long aftertaste.

Enhancement required: 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-tall chrysanthemum monsters were looking at him angrily.

A light bulb suddenly lit up in my head and it occurred to me that this was the seed that I would use to sow beans and turn them into soldiers.

While escaping, he began to frantically collect the seeds shot from both sides, and refined bean soldiers while collecting them.
Anyway, these flower demons don't feel bad, because they have plenty of seeds. After so many years, if they get a chance to encounter human monks breaking into the dirty canyon, they will just play shooting games.

Lin Shan was in pain and happy at the same time. All the younger brothers around him were shot with black eyes and swollen faces, and walked with a limp.

Not to mention that these flower fairies were really accurate in their attacks. Some people were beaten by the wretched flower fairies to the point of bending their backs and falling to the ground like shrimps, unable to run.

No one cared about that and just wanted to run away. At the same time, they secretly blamed old man Zhong in their hearts, why did you provoke him for no reason?

In just one stick of incense, Lin Shan had collected enough seeds to fill a storage bag. Two of the seeds were large and plump, with a mellow color and a flowing halo. They were obviously the descendants of a thousand-year-old demon!
【Hard-pod peas】

Quality: High-level spiritual object

Introduction: A high-level crop in the world of cultivation, this spiritual food tastes great and can improve your cultivation level after consumption.

Enhancement required: 32 points

……

Lin Shan raised his head and saw two four-meter-tall pea shooters staring at him angrily. It was obvious that they had been unhappy with Lin Shan for a long time. They didn't expect that their sneak attack would fail and backfire.

If these two seeds were sold to the outside world of cultivation, the price would probably be very high, and many cultivation families would probably fight for them. However, if they were used to refine "bean soldiers", their combat power would be close to that of the foundation-building period.

Lin Shan waved his hands provocatively at the two "pea monsters", but the two thousand-year-old monsters obviously didn't want to give him offspring, so they turned their guns and fired at the other side. There were quite a few "young" pea vines that "poofed" at him, but were deflected by Lin Shan in disgust.

As the saying goes, "When you get something, you want more." He couldn't help but fantasize in his mind that it would be great if there was a Jindan-stage plant monster that was tens of thousands of years old. He could pick up its seeds and refine them into bean soldiers, which would be comparable to the combat power of the Jindan stage. Wouldn't that mean he could even dominate the Foundation Establishment stage!
"唳~"

Perhaps in response to his request, a loud roar that resounded through the canyon was heard from the center of the sea of ​​flowers in the distance. A huge and cold divine sense swept over everyone's heads, and a terrifying momentum locked onto this side from afar. Even the guardian Yan in the front could not help but change his expression.

In the blink of an eye, a ten-meter-high "corn" plant rose up, and the corn cobs on it were four meters in size, ready to go. It was simply an enlarged version of a "corn cannon"!
Although this corn spirit has been growing in the Poison Canyon for ten thousand years, its intelligence does not seem to be very high. It just heard a group of its fellows fighting outside while it was sleeping, and after waking up, it immediately joined in excitedly.

Seeing this situation, Lin Shan dared not pay any more attention. If the corn cob 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 again and an endless stone forest appeared in front of them.

“Is this the end?!”

"I really can't walk anymore! Let me go!"

"Destroy it, I'm tired!"

Everyone lay down, feeling that the world was dark and life was meaningless. This Gouba Gorge was three thousand miles long, and they had barely walked less than half of it! They really didn't want to go there anymore.

They were just a group of low-level cultivators who had been living freely and happily in the East China Sea. Why did they come to this damn place to suffer?

Yan Yuanchun's breath was also fluctuating at this time. There were countless plant spirits in the sea of ​​flowers, and they were endlessly killed. In the end, seven or eight plants comparable to the Golden Core Stage awakened. If she hadn't run fast, she would have been trapped.

"After this stone forest, there will only be the miasma and phantom wind belt left. Cheer up and rush out immediately."

Protector Yan's words could not arouse the fighting spirit of the grassroots. Now that the advance team had lost more than half of their troops, if the mortal army had lost 30%, their morale would have collapsed long ago.

But now there is no village in front and no shop behind. It is no use being stuck here. I have to find a way to get out.

By this time, the sky was already getting light and the fog had thinned a little. Everyone gathered together to estimate the time and it was almost noon the next day.

According to the previous agreement, the head master in the rear should lead the army into the valley.

Everyone suggested that they wait here for the army, and it would be safer to act together. As for clearing the way, except for the stone forest in front of them, most of the work has been done.

Protector Yan thought about it and nodded. The losses last night were really heavy and it was indeed not advisable to continue moving forward, so he ordered them to rest on the spot and wait for reinforcements.

But what they didn't know was that things were obviously completely different from what they had imagined.

……

At the entrance of the Dirty Poison Canyon, tens of thousands of Black Lotus Sect monks were ready to go, standing in a solemn and murderous manner.

The head master stood on the platform, closed his eyes and waited for the opportunity.

A Black Lotus Sect guardian stepped forward to report that the hour of noon had arrived.

All the monks waited for a whole night and were still in high spirits and morale.

These people are the elites from the Black Lotus Sect's headquarters in Lu State. Each of them is an elite disciple who was born and raised in the evil sect and grew up in the midst of intrigue and deception. They are the main force in this war.

To everyone's surprise, the head master did not give the order to enter the valley, but directly boarded the rune battleship in the sky.

"Everyone aboard, target: Dongmenguan!"

Teams of demon disciples boarded the magic flying boats, and the boats rose into the air, turned around and headed directly to another entrance in the south, the city pass built by the secular dynasty in the Luosong Mountains.

East Gate Pass!
This is the real goal of the Central Theater.

As for the advance team that explored the Dirty Drug Canyon last night, they were just abandoned pawns used to feint and confuse the enemy.
