The Ghost of Fog
Chapters 128. Night Day Sergeants
It has been almost a month for Hu Tao's entourage to conduct research on the slopes of the Heaven's Wall Mountains. But they have not yet had good results.
During that time, they found nothing but large tall trees and rivers and waterfalls, or not infrequently also found tributaries and large lakes.
I don't know how many times they went up and down the mountain, up the hill until entering the caves. But the traces of the mountain man's army were nowhere to be found, as if they had never lived there.
"Actually where the hell are they? We've been looking from the eastern slopes almost to the Middle, but haven't found them yet!" annoyed Hu Tao.
"I think they're in the East Leader, because if they're in the West or in the Middle, of course our spies won't be able to go home until they're in such a terrible state." the third elder replied.
"I also think like that. But the thing that baffled me was when the seven Ruler Families pounded them in the West of the mainland. You remember they didn't run North. Is it possible that their headquarters is in this Western region of the Heaven's Wall Mountains?"
"But if that were the case, given the length of the journey from East to West, it should be that our spies would bleed to death halfway." the third elder was still trying to express his opinion.
"I told you, that confuses me!!" reply Hu Tao annoyed.
"Have it, we rest here, there happens to be a small river there. Tomorrow we'll go back to the East, we'll go deeper into the Heaven's Wall Mountains." Hu Tao pointed to one of the places below them. From where they stand today who is on a hill, visible there is a small river that is clear once the water.
The group immediately went down and lit a bonfire, some of which went to find food. Whether it's fruit or a partridge or a rabbit.
It is already dusk, it is not worth to travel at night, especially in the middle of the jungle like this. So from that Hu Tao decided to rest until tomorrow.
When it was night and everyone was asleep, leaving some people still awake to watch around, Hu Tao sat pensively in front of the bonfire as he stared at the fire.
"Leader, you better sleep and rest. Let us take care of it." said one of his troops.
Hu Tao smiled before saying, "What's wrong, I'm not sleepy."
The troop let out a long sigh, knowing that the leader was the type of person who always held his words. Even being persuaded will not be able to. That was why, he immediately returned to the bottom of the tree where he had previously sat.
Hu Tao returned pensive and looked at the bonfire before him. Looking at the fire that danced to the whirr of the night wind.
Ten minutes, twenty, thirty, up to an hour long, Hu Tao sat quietly like a statue in such a state. But a few minutes later, his eyes sharpened and the reflexes of both his daggers were ready in hand.
"Amaha!!" squealing someone to the left of Hu Tao, it turned out that he was one of the troops who had advised Hu Tao to sleep.
This shout had also made the four men who were on guard pull out their respective weapons and put up horses.
This young man was surprised, as a magician, clearly his eyes saw the greatness of the white light that struck to his left. The strike has also caused a smooth wind that managed to make the fire dance move to the left, while at that time the wind was moving to the right. He knew there was a dark attack.
Then immediately he stood up and shouted loudly, "Everything.wake up!!!"
At once they were all shocked and immediately jumped. It was as if they had never slept at all before, visible from their sharp-pushing eyes looking warily around.
The person closest to the shout immediately walked over and saw the condition of his friend. But unfortunately, his life was broken because his heart was pierced by an arrow.
"An arrow!! There is someone who is stalking us and attacking with arrows!!" shouted the man who checked his friend to the entire army.
"Prepare yourself!!" hu Tao's orders. This was what he hated when he decided to investigate the matter of this mountain man.
Hearing the order, the thirty-five Hu troops simultaneously turned their heads and faced the forest. Forming a circle formation that protected each other with Hu Tao and the two elders were in the center of the circle.
While the second and third elders had fought against each other with Hu Tao, preparing to face all possibilities.
"Whoever you are, come out!!" hu Tao shouted loudly. His pair of flagship daggers were already tightly grasped, ready to slash at anyone as well.
In response, there was a whir of wind of several arrows that directly led to the bonfire. Presumably the assailants were trying to extinguish the only source of illumination for the Hu family.
"Trang-Trang-Trang!!"
There were sparks flying, and seven arrows fell to the earth.
"Damn it!! Cowardly scorn!! Where are you!!" Hu Tao is getting emotional.
There was no answer, only the sound of the rustling of bushes and grasses trampled by people. Produces noise but also gripping.
There were fifteen minutes of them continuing to be in such a state. Stand alert while continuing to listen for "crash" sounds from around the place. Making their hearts race faster, the tension is so felt that they unconsciously make their bodies sweat even though the night air feels very cold.
No exception Hu Tao, this young leader realized that he also felt an incredible tension. But there was no fear in his eyes. With a gallant attitude, he along with the entire army put up full horses to deal with the sudden attack.
Twenty minutes passed and still no change. Until Hu Tao took the initiative to jump forward and shake his chain dagger. So that the slash was able to reach a long distance.
"Amaha!!" there was a strangulation stuck among the bushes. As soon as Hu Tao grabbed back his dagger, he saw that there was a bloodstain on top of his weapon blade.
"Stop playing cat!! Get out and face us!!" Hu Tao had truly lost his temper at this moment.
Shortly after, there was a terrible laugh.
"Hahaha.hahaha!!"
This made Hu Tao's troops surprised and more alert.
"How funny!! You're the one who visited instead of coming over well, even asking us to fight. Wearing brandishing weapons anyway, hahahaha how arrogant!!" said that mysterious voice.
The next second, in a row, red lights appeared all around them. The longer the more, I don't know how much it is. But Hu's troops realized, they were already surrounded by the enemy.
Hu Tao looked in all directions, then exerted a deep energy on his voice until it made the trees tremble slightly.
"Whoever you are or you are, we have come here to crush the Chu imperial bullies, the mountain men. If you are indeed the mountain man we are referring to, then come out and we finish tonight!! You troublemakers, you do not deserve to settle in a clean place like this Mountain of the Wall of Heaven!!"
"Hahaha it's true we're the group of people you're referring to. But, a clean place? Whatchu mean?"
"These mountains have always been considered clean and holy!! No human has ever dared to build a settlement in this sacred mountain range. Even if there is a man, of course he is a saint as well as ascetics or magic warriors who are tired of world affairs and seclusion. Or it could also be traders who just pass by without ever daring to disturb the tranquility of the mountains. Yet you, how dare to settle here to build a settlement, since when have you been here!??" snapped Hu Tao angrily.
"Hahah, we have been here for many years and this mountain range we already consider to be home!! So why did the people of the Hu family come in such a disrespectful and faceless manner at all? Wasn't that capable of smearing the honor of the Ruler Family that everyone respected?" answer the mysterious voice.
Hu Tao grieved, he had secretly guessed who the person was.
There was a sound next to him the second elder whispered, "Be careful Master, it may be that this one is dubbed as the Golden Dragon."
Hu Tao nodded, indeed that was what he had expected from him.
"Already, don't have much fun!! I hate this so much, but if it is the path of violence that you want, then we will be able to!!" Hu Tao said firmly.
He also never thought that at this time they had all been trapped by the mountain man army. The initial goal was just to go aim, but now it must instead be faced with a desperate battle.
"Hahaha, inevitably, willingly unable, we will still exterminate all of you!!!" after saying later, this voice then said in a strange language. After that in droves the mountain man's army invaded. There are even those who shoot arrows in a number that is not small.
"Sadjoke!!" hu Tao's orders were accompanied by a lesion of his body that immediately welcomed the opponent's attack.
