Cold Priest VS Ancient Ferocious Beast

Taking advantage of the night, Mo Zhu quietly left the tent and followed closely all the way.

Among so many people, only the group pretending to be a caravan took the official road, while the rest all took the dangerous paths in the mountains and forests.

Mo Zhu didn't know how to follow for a moment.

He thought about it calmly and decided that the one in the open must be a decoy, so Mo Zhu chose to follow the people in the mountains.

At this time, the Eagle Team seemed to have disappeared, and I don’t know if Black Sand City has other ways to monitor the movements here.

Mo Zhu was a little anxious.

Following carefully all the way in the cold night, Mo Zhu's head hurt a little from the cold. After all, a nightgown was much worse than a mink cloak.

By almost three o'clock in the morning, they were already very close to Black Sand City.

"That's it, almost there."

The winter night was very quiet, and Mo Zhu could hear most of the previous conversation.

"Work."

At the command, everyone took out tools such as hoes and shovels and started digging.

Because there were so many people, the digging team stretched for a mile.

Mo Zhu couldn't figure out what was going on and had no idea what was going on. He could only wait and see.

It would be nice to have someone reliable around at this time, Mo Zhu was secretly worried.

"Damn it, dig faster." There is a lot of resentment in the army right now.

"Why are we digging this?"

"I don't know. If the general tells us to dig, we'll dig quickly. An hour has passed quickly. Do you still want to go back to the city?"

"The Yeling family is so cunning. Could these pits be used to bury them?"

"...How many of them are there? Don't you know? Why would so many of them need to stay awake and go to such lengths?"

"Oh... Fortunately, the grass is almost dead now, otherwise I don't know how long it would take to dig it up."

"Even work can't stop you from talking."

"Can't I just say a few words while I'm working?"

"If a few words are useful, I'll keep talking."

Everyone was digging hard, and Mo Zhu stood nearby motionless, unable to contain himself.

He slowly moved to the end of the team, trying to avoid the leading general.

"Damn nightgown, I should have worn normal clothes earlier." Mo Zhu felt a little regretful.

He put away his headscarf, loosened his sleeves and trouser legs, and under the cover of darkness, tried to look as normal as possible.

He quietly took a shovel from the pile of tools, found a place with space and started digging a hole.

After everyone finished digging in front of them, they would consciously go to the end of the team to continue digging. Mo Zhu also followed this pattern and worked together, waiting for the right time to ask something.

"I'm going to drink some water and take a rest." A soldier said breathlessly.

"I'm going too." Mo Zhu followed closely.

"...Oh." The weather was bad and the soldier could not see clearly, but he felt that the voice was unfamiliar.

"Ah... I'm so tired..." Mo Zhu sighed.

"Who are you?" The soldier became alert.

"Ah, I'm Luo Qin, hehe."

There were so many people here at the moment, and General Qin and the deputy general in charge were not there, so Mo Zhu just announced his name.

"Oh, Mr. Luo, why are you here?" Everyone naturally knew Luo Qin.

"I'm here to help. General Qin has given me special permission. Don't make it public. I'm afraid everyone will give in to me and I won't be able to do anything later."

"Oh, haha, don't worry. It's so dark that you can't tell who is who. I'll keep it a secret for you."

The soldier took the water bottle and let Luo Qin drink first.

"Thank you." Mo Zhu took two gulps and said, "I feel much better." He handed the kettle over again.

The soldier took it and started drinking again.

"I can't do it anymore. I'll go back after digging for a while." Mo Zhu said.

"Ah...you're going back alone? Can you do that? Come back with the army."

"When will you be back?"

"I don't know either. After digging, retreat half a mile and wait for orders."

"Oh... I want to go back to sleep for a while. I'm tired and sleepy."

"Then you might as well find a place nearby that's sheltered from the wind and take a nap."

"That's right...haha. I didn't expect to be so tired."

"Young Master, you shouldn't have been so arrogant in the first place. You were so comfortable in the tent, but you had to come here."

"If I don't come this time, I might not have another chance in the future. I came here to train myself. I can't just relax wherever I go."

"Then keep digging. We have to dig 10 miles, but we have more people, so it will be quick."

"Where to dig?"

"Just dig around half of the mountain, half a circle. The general has sent a commander ahead. He knows where to stop."

"The back half?"

"It seems so. No one is moving forward."

"Oh."

"General Qin didn't tell you?"

"Maybe they didn't have much hope for me. They just wanted me to follow the others and not get lost."

"Hahahaha, that's true."

The two of them returned to the digging team and continued digging hard.

The soldier didn't talk to Mo Zhu anymore, as if talking would expose Young Master Luo Qin's identity, which would not be good, after all, he had promised to keep it a secret.

"I'm going to take a nap." After digging a few times, Mo Zhu whispered in the soldier's ear.

"Okay, don't sleep too deeply. Listen for any noises. We'll retreat after we finish digging."

"understood."

"Or where are you sleeping? I'll call you later."

"Goodbye. It's quite far to go halfway around this mountain. Don't bother."

"Oh."

"What's your name?"

"Zhang Jiao."

"Well, can I ask you a favor?"

"Okay." Zhang Jiao said decisively.

"When we return to the camp, if you meet a caravan selling wine, can you please buy two kilograms for me and bring them to my tent?" Mo Zhu handed over a tael of silver.

"Ah... this... even the vendors might not have the money to pay you..."

"At this time, only caravans can still reach Heiger Mountain, so you can still find some small change."

"Oh, sure!"

"You take the rest."

"Ah? No, no, no."

"Don't be polite to me. You've done me such a big favor since we just met."

"These are all little things that come naturally."

"Even small matters require someone willing to help, right? Also, my presence here must be kept secret. Just pretend you've only seen me at the camp."

"Don't worry about this, military man, don't you have this little bit?"

"Okay, I'm going to get some sleep then. I'll see you at camp when I'm done."

"Okay, be careful."

"You too."

Mo Zhu slowly moved away from the busy crowd and hid himself in the darkness.

The wind was biting cold as he tried to make sense of the situation.

It seems that the only thing related to Black Sand City at this location is the wolf pack.

Before dawn, attack the wolf pack and then attack Black Sand City. Given the current situation of Black Sand City, it seems that it is really powerless to resist.

Mo Zhu admired General Qin's decision-making ability, but was also worried about Su Qingchen. He felt a slight pain in his head.

He thought that if he guessed correctly, the fake caravan and fake refugees had already settled not far from Heisha City, and had long been discovered by the people of Heisha City. They were closely watching their every move and had no idea that there was such a big commotion in Xishan.

There were soldiers digging pits on the mountain roads, and soldiers pretending to be caravans and refugees on the official roads. At this critical moment, Mo Zhu only regretted that he could not do anything.

There was no other way, Mo Zhu could only go down the mountain to look for an opportunity.

It would have been better if he didn't go down the mountain. When he was almost at the foot of the mountain, he saw more people and horses ready to go.

The man at the front of the team, with his burly figure and the sword flashing with cold light faintly visible at his waist, was undoubtedly General Qin.

It seemed that the entire military camp was mobilized.

General Qin did not tell Mo Zhu the real plan, but Mo Zhu already knew it.

In order to protect Luo Qin and the Luo family, Mo Zhu had to be even more cautious at this moment and not make any mistakes. The word "dead end" rarely appeared in his mind.

"Awoo..." A wolf howl came from afar.

There was a commotion among the soldiers both on and below the mountain.

General Qin called a man over and said something.

Mo Zhu was a little excited.

"Awoo... Awoo..." The howling of wolves came one after another, as if they all came from the mountains and forests.

"Swish" a signal flare went up into the sky, and the pit on the West Mountain had been dug.

After a while, a flare flew into the sky from the bottom of the mountain.

In an instant, the fire almost illuminated the entire mountain.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Burning arrows were shot out like raindrops.

In winter, the mountain was covered with mostly dead trees and grass. A larger tongue of fire erupted, and thick smoke rose from the west mountain.

"Aww...aoww..."

As the fire raged, the wolves' howls became more rapid.

"Go at full speed!"

General Qin gave the order from below.

"Yes!"

The Ningsi City army rushed towards the Black Sand City under the illumination of the fire.

Mo Zhu quickly went down the mountain and secretly joined the army.

And ahead.

"Aww...aoww..."

Ye Ling was alone, riding a horse, with countless wolves behind him.

The road to Black Sand City was completely blocked.

"I knew Young Master Ye Ling was capable, but I didn't expect him to be so capable."

General Qin's eyes were sharp, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.

"General Qin, you're too kind. Burning the mountains and attempting to storm Black Sand City in the middle of the night really fits our stereotype of the people of Ningsi City."

"I originally wanted to bring Master Ye Ling back to the city with me, but now, I'm afraid that plan will be dashed."

"Ningsi City and Black Sand City have lived in peace for many years. You were the first to invade without reason. If you fail to take it down this time, forget it."

The torch in Ye Lingqi's hand made the murderous determination on his face obvious.

"Oh?" General Qin raised his right hand, "Release!"

As soon as General Qin finished speaking, some flaming arrows shot towards Ye Lingqi and the wolves, while some arrows from unknown sources shot towards Ning Sicheng's army.

“Ah…ah…ow…ow…”

Some people were injured, some horses were frightened, some wolves were watching closely, and some unknown people were hiding in the distance.

A big melee was about to break out, and without any instructions, it had already become a mess.

"Kill without mercy!" General Qin steadied his horse and charged forward with his troops.

Ye Lingqi was not afraid at all, and the wolves came forward and blocked Ye Lingqi behind them.

Only when you get closer can you see clearly that all these wolves are wearing protective gear.

They were almost unscathed by the arrow array just now.

Faced with Ning Sicheng's army, the wolves were not afraid at all and rushed forward at full speed to bite.

The two sides were fighting, and many arrows were flying in the air.

The situation that both sides had previously agreed to avoid still happened. Now, it seemed that whoever died first would lose.
