Chapter 2017: Falling Phoenix Pond
He Lingchuan knew that Nan Ronghe was asking for help in a tactful way, so he casually pointed out:
"Shirahama, take your men to Luofengtan and assist Nan Ronghe in capturing the monster."
Shirahama is one of the leaders of the Dragon God Guards. He was originally from the Black Armor Army's Hook and Sickle Group. His job was to climb walls and climb rooftops during sieges. He is more agile than ordinary Black Armor Army soldiers and has a stronger ability to respond to emergencies.
"Yes." Shirahama stepped out, led 500 soldiers, and followed the Nanrong family guards.
After resolving this incident, He Lingchuan continued to handle his official business.
Three hours later.
The moonlight was setting, and suddenly a brown-feathered night owl flew in, landing on a standing stake in the tent with a coo:
"Urgent report, urgent report!"
Luo Xie casually took the small bamboo tube it spit out, pulled out the note inside and took a look at it, his pupils shrank.
"Lord!"
He Lingchuan took it and looked at it, frowning:
This urgent report was sent from Luofengtan. Shirahama was killed while capturing a monster!
Of the 500 soldiers he brought, more than 100 were killed or wounded.
However, before he died, he also severely injured a monster. Everyone worked together to drag it out of the cave, hoping to use it to lure out their companions.
As of the time of posting, the other monster has not yet been captured.
Nan Ronghe came to ask whether they should send this monster back to the camp first while they continued to hunt the other one.
There were two monsters, one big and one small, and they caught the small one. The big one was more ferocious.
Luofengtan is more than 50 miles away from here. There may be twists and turns on the way to send the monster back. If it runs away, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
Besides, there is another one in the cave.
He Lingchuan thought about it, walked out of the tent, and arranged some military affairs.
In the days before the war, the army was extremely busy.
After walking a few steps, he met Elder Suda who was strolling around aimlessly.
"Where are you going? Where are you going?" The old cow came over, wagging its tail. "I'm so bored."
The whole army was in a state of excitement before the war. They were busy with training, preparation and transportation. The old cow was idle. It didn't need to train and there was no war in the past two days. It just wandered around, chewed some young shoots and got some radishes from the cook. It had nothing to do.
"Isn't Elder Liu here? Don't you want to catch up?"
Liu Qingdao is a great immortal of the Illusion Sect, and usually he is in seclusion in Duocheng. But the decisive battle between the Dragon God Army and the Yao Kingdom is coming, how can he continue to squat in the cave? Even if he doesn't take action, he can still raid the battle. He knows very well why He Lingchuan absorbed the Illusion Sect. As a high-end combat force, he must not miss such a major battle that is destined to go down in history.
Lao Niu curled his lips and said, "Brother, you only talked to me for a few words before you went to the cave behind the waterfall to settle down. How could you have the time to talk to me?"
He could compress his cultivation and walk in the world like Aunt Zhu; Liu Qingdao's cultivation was higher than his, but he did not have this talent. After arriving, he had to set up a place and recuperate.
The concentration of spiritual energy in the human world increased rapidly, but there was still a big gap compared to the Upside-Down Sea before the war.
He Lingchuan also knew Liu Qingdao's situation, so he said, "A monster appeared in Luofeng Lake, and it can speak the devil language. It hurt a lot of us. I have to rush over now."
There are many talented people in the military camp now, but they only know how to fight. How many of them can understand the demon language?
If he wanted to judge the monster, he had to go himself.
Elder Suta became interested as soon as he heard it: "Can you speak the language of the devil? Okay, I'll go and see too!"
As an ancient immortal, he is of course proficient in the language of demons.
Afterwards, He Lingchuan set out with Lao Niu and 1,500 elite cavalrymen and rushed to Luofengtan.
It doesn't take a huge army to capture two monsters, but he has a bigger team now, with thousands of people accompanying him. If it were before, two hundred people would be the maximum.
This time, they encountered Emperor Liujiang on their way out of the camp, but it was only a light rain, which ended when they arrived at Luofengtan. The world was filled with the fragrance of the newly arrived spiritual rain, and the concentration increased slightly for a short time.
The scenery here is very beautiful during the day. You can enjoy the waterfall flowing out of the stream and hanging in the distance without going close. There is also a colorful rainbow on a sunny day.
That’s why it is named “Falling Phoenix”.
But it was still dark, and the only sound they could hear was the sound of the waterfall, which drowned out all other noises.
After passing the waterfall, there was a team of soldiers stationed in front, about fifty people. They immediately saluted when they saw He Lingchuan.
"Where's General Nan Rong?"
Everyone is here. Nan Ronghe limped over from behind and saluted when he saw He Lingchuan:
"My lord, Nan Rong is ashamed!"
He had a white cloth tied around his shoulder, from which a little blood oozed; his left leg was also injured, as the monster's claw almost pierced his femoral artery.
He Lingchuan helped him up and asked, "Where's Shirahama?"
"Brother Bai is here." Nan Ronghe led the way and turned the mountain pass. There were hundreds of people lying side by side on the ground, neatly arranged.
They are all soldiers of the Dragon God Army who died in battle.
He Lingchuan saw Shirahama at a glance. His body was bent at a strange angle, his face was swollen, and his eyes were bulging.
This is a good young man, and he is also one of the first soldiers recruited by the Black Armor Army in the Shining Gold Plains. He performs his tasks conscientiously and responsibly, and grows rapidly in battle.
Pity.
"How did he die?" He Lingchuan squatted down and personally examined Shirahama's body, and found that several bones in his body were dislocated.
In other words, Shirahama was basically torn apart alive, and he was not dead at that time, so his face was so swollen with blood.
What a powerful and ferocious monster.
"I didn't see it myself. The people who followed him said that he was dragged into the water by a monster and disappeared for more than a quarter of an hour." Nan Ronghe whispered, "Then, he surfaced."
He further explained: "The back of Luofengtan is connected to a huge karst cave, which has not only large and small holes, but also an underground river flowing."
“How big is the cave?”
"A few hundred hectares."
The people behind He Lingchuan looked at each other in bewilderment. So big?
"Basically, it's a dark cave that was washed out by the water from Luofeng Lake in the belly of the mountain. It has many twists and turns and many forked roads."
When everyone heard this, they knew why the two monsters were difficult to catch - this place was a maze, divided into above-water and underwater areas, and the complexity increased several times.
"Are you familiar with this cave?"
“No.” Nan Ronghe shook his head. “Before today, I only knew that there was an underground cave here.”
He is not a water rat, so why would he go into the cave all day for no reason?
"Is there any other exit from the cave?"
"Yes." Nan Ronghe pointed to the cave entrance. "There are four exits. Two of them have been completely blocked by us, but the other two are river mouths that cannot be blocked. I have sent people to guard them respectively, and also set up formations to prohibit water and soil escape."
As he was speaking, He Lingchuan heard a roar coming from deep in the cave.
It's so creepy that it makes your scalp tingle.
