Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Chapter 311 Aqi's Adventure (Strange Nomad)

The team of more than 20 people marched for several days and arrived near Kurong Mountain.

Kuang Chuanshan said, "Brothers, this time General Ding specially selected our Donggen Eighth Team to patrol the border, which shows that he has great expectations for us. Even if we don't eat or sleep, we must find the herdsmen's missing cattle and sheep and make our Donggen Eighth Team proud."

A sergeant said, "Captain Kuang, I think General Ding does not have high expectations for our Donggen Eighth Team, but for one of them."

Everyone knew that the "certain person" he was referring to was Yu Aqi, and they all agreed.

Kuang Chuanshan said, "Even if you are right, so what? No matter how powerful Brother Yu is, or how early he opened his Force, he is still a member of our Donggen Eighth Team. He has to call me 'Captain' no matter what, and call you 'brother'. Ding Zhongjun has high hopes for him, which means he has high hopes for us, there is no difference..." He suddenly said, "By the way, Niu Shishu, why did your father give you such a weird name like 'Niu Shishu'?"

Niu Shishu said: "When I was little, my family was poor and we didn't have enough to eat. My father named me Shishu, hoping that I would have enough to eat when I grew up."

When everyone heard this, they all laughed and said that if you, the cow, eat millet, you will definitely be able to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day, and wear gold and silver clothes.

Yu Aqi took over Kuang Chuanshan's previous words and said with a smile: "Captain Kuang is right. I have made some progress, all thanks to the care and guidance of Captain Kuang and all the brothers. Ding Zhongjun definitely has expectations not only for me, but for our entire Donggen Eighth Team."

Kuang Chuanshan said, "You are only right about the second half of your sentence. The first half is complete nonsense. To be honest, we looked down on you and said a lot of unpleasant things to you when we saw your skinny appearance. Don't take it to heart. Forget about 'guidance'. You are the only one in our team who can activate the Force. Who can give you guidance?"

Yu Aqi said: "My Force was activated early, purely because of luck. In terms of real ability, I am still far behind you brothers."

Kuang Chuanshan nodded and said, "It's good for you to know this. In my Donggen Eighth Team, don't think that you are so great just because you have activated the Force. You must know that there are always people who are better than you, and there are even higher levels beyond the higher ones."

Yu Aqi smiled and said that he didn't think he was great, and he knew his own worth very well.

Kuang Chuanshan's small team set out from the Dongzhong camp and headed straight north. Because they were not in a hurry, it took them almost four days to reach the dense forest at the foot of Kurong Mountain.

This dense forest was somewhat different from the other forests on the grassland. The other forests were all sparse forests that gradually turned into dense forests, but the boundary between the forest and grassland in this area was completely clear - the south side was a flat grassland without a single tree, and the north side was a large dark forest, undulating and dense, with no end in sight from east to west.

It was the first time for everyone here, and when they saw this scene, they were all secretly amazed.

Niu Shishu said, "Captain Kuang, what should we do now? You have to decide where to start."

Kuang Chuanshan thought for a while, then looked at Yu Aqi and asked, "Brother Yu, can you tell me how to patrol the border best?"

Yu Aqi smiled and said, "Captain Kuang, you are really putting me in a difficult position. If you really want me to say something, I will say the same thing - I will listen to my brothers."

Kuang Chuanshan cursed inwardly, not knowing whether this kid really had no opinion or was just pretending to be honest. He never expressed his opinion on the things assigned by Ding Zhongjun, and often just brushed it off with just one sentence.

Kuang Chuanshan looked at the other soldiers in the team and asked, "What about you? Do you have any ideas?"

Everyone responded in unison: "I said the same thing - listen to Captain Kuang!"

Kuang Chuanshan cursed with a cold face, "Useless thing", and everyone laughed secretly.

Kuang Chuanshan had no choice but to lead the soldiers northward along the forest border, preparing to head west when they reached the Dali River until other teams were sent out from the Dongzhong camp to take over.

After walking for half a day, they found a place to stop and rest, eat some dry biscuits and mutton, and feed the horses with water.

Just as they were enjoying their meal and chatting happily, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the south. From the sound of the hooves, there were probably only six or seven horses, but they were running very fast, as if they were in a hurry. However, there was no road leading to any village or city in this area. Where were these people going?

Kuang Chuanshan didn't know whether the person who came was a good person or a bad person, so he hurriedly asked everyone to lie down so that he could see what was going on.

Yu Aqi said: "Captain Kuang, why don't we take down all the saddles..."

Kuang Chuanshan was about to ask why, but he suddenly realized and said, "Brother Yu, you are thoughtful. In this way, even if those people find our horses, they will think they are just ordinary herdsmen and will not think that we are hiding here."

Yu Aqi nodded.

Kuang Chuanshan told everyone to quickly take off the saddles and lie low in the grass.

Although the cold winter season had just passed, there was no snow in this area, so the wild grasses that were nearly one meter tall did not fall over.

Everyone was lying in the grass, and it would be difficult to be discovered unless they were very close.

The small group of horses gradually approached and gradually showed their heads on the grassland.

When they counted them, they found there were only seven horses, and all of them were ridden by someone.

When we got closer, we could see clearly that the people on horseback were wearing brown clothes and black pants, with wide-brimmed hats on their heads, dressed like ordinary herdsmen, but we didn't know why they were running so fast.

The group of people also saw the horses of Yu Aqi's soldiers suddenly stop not far away.

One of the herdsmen said, "Brother San, look, there are still people herding horses in this damn place. It's really strange."

The man called "Third Brother" said, "The world is not peaceful right now. I heard that the evil soldiers from the Red Sand Country have invaded Green City. The Green City Army was defeated. These horses are probably the military horses that escaped by luck."

The herdsman said earlier: "They look really good. Why don't we take all these horses back to the village?"

The "Third Brother" said, "The matter of the Spiritual Lord cannot be delayed. It will not be too late to catch these horses another day." The other five people also responded to him. It seems that this "Third Brother" is the leader of the seven herdsmen.

The seven men stopped approaching the place where the others were hiding, whipped their horses, and ran diagonally to the northwest. They did not stop until they reached the dense forest, but went straight into the forest and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Everyone was very puzzled. Why did these herdsmen stop herding sheep and horses on the grassland and run into the woods for no reason? What was this "spiritual master's matter" that they were talking about?
