Wu Sheng: I can adapt to evolution

Chapter 73: First Encounter (Part )
In the past few days, the phenomenon of the ghost covering the moon has become more and more obvious.

Everything was normal during the day, but at night, the scarlet moon was several times larger than usual, and the red blood light spread out in all directions, shrouding most of the night sky in red.

However, there was no emotional change among the crowd, and no bloody incident broke out.

The night sky in front of me looked no different from usual except that it looked a little weird.

It seems that the rumors of the past cannot be true.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

On the fifth day of the Ghostly Moon, urgent trumpet sounds were heard throughout the military camp.

This is the signal to gather.

All the soldiers rushed out of the tents quickly. The captains of each camp had already given instructions that they would encircle and suppress the Heavenly Palace in the next few days. All the soldiers had to stay in armor at night and would be dispatched immediately if any situation arose.

Lu Ming stood outside the tent early, and behind him was a team of generals lined up in a fast formation.

He looked up at the moon in the sky, his eyes flashing with excitement.

The mission finally arrived. These days in the military camp were so boring. There were no entertainment activities at all, and he couldn't eat the meat from the meat mountain. He felt like he was wasting his time.

"Northwest, three hundred and fifty miles, Woniu Mountain."

"Everyone, take Qi and Blood Pills, force march, and set off!"

All the teams lit torches and gathered together, totaling more than 5,000 people, and headed quickly towards the northwest.

Everyone in the army practices martial arts, and even though most people don't even have the strength of the first level of martial arts, they are all physically strong.

After taking Qi and Blood Pills, you can basically travel a hundred miles a day in a forced march.

The so-called Qi and Blood Pills are pills made from various medicinal herbs and a small amount of monster meat. After eating them, ordinary people will feel that their bodies are full of Qi and blood and they are full of energy.

However, if you take Qi and Blood Pills for several times in a row, it may cause the body to be unable to be replenished and cause a serious illness.

This pill would only be taken in the most urgent of situations.

……

After marching for a day and a night, they had already left Bingzhou.

Bingzhou is the border of Daqian, which is considered outside the national border. There are only lush vegetation and flat terrain all around, with only a few rolling hills occasionally seen in the distance.

"The Vanguard Battalion, the Iron Cavalry Battalion, and the Scout Battalion will take the Qi and Blood Pills and continue their march. The other battalions will resume their normal march."

As the command flags were waved, the large army slowed down its march.

Continuous forced marches will make the soldiers extremely tired. If they encounter a strong enemy, the team will collapse after a short battle.

Now let a few elite troops go ahead, and the main force will support them from behind.

Lu Ming rode on the bone-penetrating dragon and walked behind the Jia-zi slaying team to prevent anyone from falling behind.

However, although most of the people in the General Killing Team may not have good physical fitness, they all have a strong will. Some even feel that one Qi and Blood Pill is not enough, so they take several in a row, and they are all as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

For most people in the pioneer camp, no one expects to die of old age, and they just want to survive for the time being.

"Huh."

In the very high sky, several hawks flew by, making sharp screams.

Then the falcon dropped from the sky, hovering and catching the arms of several scout camp leaders. Soon after, command flags fluttered and copper whistles sounded.

"Twenty miles ahead, a small group of cavalry is approaching. Prepare to engage!"

The scout camp quickly issued a warning order, and everyone's expression was serious. After leaving Bingzhou, this place was already the territory of the Hu people. They were only a small advance force. If they were not careful, they could easily be swallowed up.

"Finally, the war is about to begin."

Lu Ming felt his blood boiling slightly, and the [Bloodthirsty Purgatory Blade] in his body sent out excited signals.

For such a bloodthirsty demon weapon, nothing can make it happier than a large amount of blood.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the sound of galloping horses could be heard in the distance. A large group of cavalry appeared from the other side of the horizon and quickly headed towards their position.

Lu Ming's pupils contracted slightly, taking in the distant scene.

These should all be Hu cavalrymen. Some have deep eyes and high noses, while others look similar to people from the Central Plains. They are all wearing fur coats and riding horses. Although their saddles and bridles are very simple, they are all brave and full of energy.

The reason why the Huitian Sect is difficult to eradicate is that they are rooted in the border areas and have close ties with many Hu forces.

To the Daqian court, the Huitian sect's wanton kidnapping and abduction of ordinary people for various experiments was a crime worthy of death. However, in the eyes of the Zhuhu high-ranking officials, the Huitian sect's various methods and rituals could bring strength to their depleted bodies and make up for their innate deficiencies, all at the cost of a few serfs' lives.

There was constant fighting on the grassland, and the number of people killed by the Huitian Sect was not as great as a large-scale tribal conflict.

"Vanguard Battalion, form up, follow me!"

Lu Mengzhi shouted loudly and shook the reins, and the horse under her crotch leaped out at a gallop. She reached out and grabbed, and a slender sword appeared in her hand.

A bright and precious light emerged, covering her body, making her look like a goddess.

She took the lead and quickly approached the Hu cavalry. She swung the sword in her hand, and the sword energy overflowed, just like cutting paper, instantly tearing the five people in the front and their mounts into two pieces.

Divine weapons have spirits, especially these mid-to-high-quality ones. Cutting through flesh and blood is like a piece of cake for them.

She still maintained a charging posture, and the long sword in her hand kept extending out like a spirit snake. Every time the sword flashed, someone would scream and fall to the ground.

"Brothers, rush for me!"

Seeing this, Lu Ming also shouted loudly, and more than a hundred soldiers under his command rushed out, each holding an eight-foot-long spear high, like a hedgehog with its spines exploded, and rushed towards the cavalry team without fear.

The Iron Cavalry Battalion surrounded the enemy on both sides, while the Scout Battalion was divided into five teams, shooting arrows at the Hu cavalry from a distance.

The soldiers on both sides were like two tides colliding in an instant, and blood and corpses spread out like waves.

"kill!"

Lu Ming stretched out his hand and grabbed, and the bloodthirsty Purgatory Blade emerged, and the red precious light covered his body. The bone-penetrating dragon under his crotch really rushed out like a fierce dragon.

"Swish swish."

He jumped nearly ten feet high on his horse, and the Purgatory Blade in his hand made a fierce low humming sound. In an instant, it circled and flew out, instantly passing through the bodies of several people and cutting their bodies in half.

After being cut off by the Purgatory Blade, the body shrank instantly, like an empty shell.

The abundant blood and energy flowed back into the body of the Purgatory Blade, making the blade spirit even more excited and violent.

Lu Ming showed his strength, but more cavalrymen gathered around him. In this chaotic battlefield, their eyes seemed to flash red, like the light of the ghost star in the sky covering the moon.
