The hundreds of thousands of barbarian soldiers were in a state of panic, and countless people died among the boulders.
At that moment, they were frantically rushing along the nearby mountain path, desperately trying to avoid the falling rocks.
The eight valiant generals, each originally commanding a separate army, are now all scattered and instinctively lead their troops toward the nearest place.
In no time, they rushed along the winding paths into the mountains.
At that moment, a loud shout rang out from the crowd:
"To catch the thief, first catch the king!"
"Qin Ze is in the mountains! Go up the mountain and kill him!!"
The voice came from Wu Shuang, who was leading a troop of soldiers, heading straight into the mountains...
Wu Kui was not with him; he had hidden in another mountain path. The generals accompanying him were Shan Yi and Wu Rui, and currently, the three of them had the most troops.
After a brief moment of panic, Wu Kui raised his Tiger-Taming Golden Spear high and roared:
"Charge into the mountains, find Qin Ze, and kill him!"
"Everyone, please be careful on your journey!"
It was a confirmed fact that Qin Ze was on the mountain, but no one had time to worry about exactly where.
With the sudden cascade of falling rocks, everyone was scattered and had no choice but to head towards the nearest mountain path.
Which road leads to which destination, and who you will meet—no one knows.
Glancing back at the soldiers already crushed to death, Wu Kui suppressed the grief in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and led the remaining troops forward...
Wu Rui raised his double hammers high and roared, "This treacherous brat, if you have the guts, come and fight us fair and square!"
"Don't let me run into you! Otherwise, I'll make sure you die under a hail of hammers!"
Amidst the roar, Wu Shuang followed Wu Kui up the mountain.
Bai Miao and Hong Lun each led a contingent of troops to other places, while the remaining three valiant generals gathered together and entered the same place.
The fact that none of the three were hit by the falling rocks is a great blessing.
Upon hearing Wu Kui's loud shout from afar, the three immediately ran towards the nearest path leading up the mountain.

Behind him, Jin Mang watched as countless boulders fell in front of him, and his heart pounded wildly.
"They actually prepared so many war arsenals in these mountains! How... how did they manage that!" Jin Mang's eyes were filled with astonishment; he simply couldn't believe it.
Peng Yue, standing to the side, was pale and covered in sweat.
He had been somewhat dismissive before entering the mountains, but after the road was blocked, he still felt a sliver of hope.
But now, facing the rolling boulders ahead, he was already drenched in sweat.
This turn of events was so sudden that he was completely stunned.
"General... if we move quickly and join up with the barbarian troops, wouldn't that mean..." Peng Yue said in a trembling voice.
Jin Mang took a deep breath, suppressing the panic in his heart, and said:
"I never expected that Qin Ze would prepare war arsenals in these mountains. This... this is simply impossible."
"But now that we've entered Yanluo Mountain, there's no turning back. We can only take it one step at a time!"
"Qin Ze has set up an ambush ahead. We can't just go there like this. We can't go any further into open areas. There must be traps in those places."
"Don't take the main road, take the side path into the mountains!"
Upon hearing this, Peng Yue's expression tightened, and he immediately said, "If we enter the mountains and encounter an ambush..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jin Mang coldly rebuked, "Even if there are ambushes, we must fight our way through!"
"Only by occupying the high ground can we seize the initiative, allowing us to attack or defend as needed!"
"Walk!"
Earlier on their journey, there was a branch road on the main road that led directly into the mountains. Jin Mang originally intended to catch up with the barbarian army, so he did not take that route.
In this situation, he had no choice but to turn back and continue down that road.
At his command, Jin Mang led his men on a frantic dash away...
——
And at the very back, another troop of soldiers was galloping along the road.
It was Kim Jong-deok and his entourage!
Earlier, not long after entering the mountains, the Thousand Machine Battalion heard a loud noise from behind. The noise made Jin Jiande panic, thinking that he had fallen into a trap.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm; no large number of enemy soldiers descended from the sky.
Instead, the rear route was cut off. According to people behind, the entrance was blocked by huge rocks and trees that had been pushed down from the mountain, piled up to a great height and stretching for hundreds of meters.
The Qianji Battalion was small, and Jin Jiande didn't want to lead people to move the roadblocks and retreat at this time. Besides, if they went now, who could predict whether there would be more stones falling from the mountain?
Of course, the most important point is that Qin Ze's problem has not yet been solved.
Now that the army has entered the mountains, Jin Jiande is very confident. With such troops, no matter how many tricks Qin Zeshi has up his sleeve, he can't escape!
On the contrary, the fact that Qin Ze made such a commotion confirms that he is definitely in the mountains.
Having your escape route cut off isn't entirely a bad thing!
But soon, an even louder noise came from ahead, and after hearing screams and shouts of killing, Jin Jiande gave up the idea.
Now, all he wanted was to catch up with Jin Mang as soon as possible, join him, and then deal with the enemy soldiers.
Therefore, Jin Jiande led the Thousand Machine Battalion on a frantic run.
A moment later, they had traveled some distance, and Jin Jiande looked up and finally saw the troops ahead.
But the troops ahead were running towards that fork in the road.
Jin Jiande frowned and shouted, "Where is Jin Mang! Why are you taking this path!"
The soldier at the front immediately replied, "Young Prince, the barbarian army at the forefront has been attacked by war cavalry and suffered heavy losses. They can no longer proceed!"
