Chapter 383 There is a problem
Before leaving, Xiao Jinxuan asked Ling Xiao to take Tiezhu and lead a group of people in the mountain village to the south.
Wen Yan and his men were stationed at the border of Xichuan and Nanyang.
When these people get there, their safety and survival will be guaranteed.
But Tiezhu and several young men in the village all stood up and said, "We won't go there."
Ling Xiao suddenly became anxious, "Why?"
Could it be that they still can't bear to leave this broken mountain village and miss the days of robbing and pillaging?
Tiezhu said with a determined look, "Although several of you are highly skilled in martial arts, the Green Forest Alliance has hundreds of thousands of bandits and they are surrounded by the Tiandun barrier. It is extremely difficult to get in."
"We brothers may not have any special abilities, but more people means more strength. Please take us with you, sirs!"
Hearing this, even Xiao Jinxuan was surprised. "Since you knew this trip was dangerous, why did you still want to go? Aren't you afraid of going to die?"
"Afraid."
"Why go if you're afraid?"
"My Lord, you have taken good care of the elderly, children, and women for us. We can only repay this kindness with our lives!"
Xiao Jinxuan was still hesitant at first, but after looking at their determined eyes, he paused and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll take you there."
Several people suddenly became happy, and some of them took the nail rakes and some took the axes.
Tiezhu jumped up and patted one of them on the knee. "Are you stupid? Those Green Foresters brought so many weapons just now, and you don't know how to change them?"
"Oh, that's right!" Several people finally reacted and quickly changed the guys in their hands.
Song Yuqiu's mouth twitched, "Sister Zhuoning, is it really okay to take them with you?"
A dwarf and a group of fools, this combination is quite unique.
Xie Zhuoning smiled faintly and said nothing, "Let's go."
The big guy in the mountain stronghold carried an iron pillar on one shoulder and the young leader of the Green Forest Alliance with a broken leg on the other.
The group officially set out towards the Green Forest Alliance.
"Go through this forest and you will reach the foot of the Green Forest Alliance's mountain." The young leader pointed ahead and said.
Xie Zhuoning nodded at Xia Ju, and Xia Ju immediately flew in.
She is good at martial arts and is familiar with mechanisms and traps. If there is a problem, she can find it out immediately.
Not long after, Xia Ju came out. She shook her head and said, "No way."
"Oh?" Xie Zhuoning and Xiao Jinxuan looked at each other, somewhat surprised.
There is no protection at the foot of the mountain, not even a single sentry post. Is this reasonable?
Xiao Jinxuan raised his sword to the little leader's throat and asked, "Tell me, where did you take us?"
The young leader waved his hands and said, "I'm not lying. If we go past here, we will reach the foot of the Green Forest Alliance!"
However, he concealed a little inside story.
This forest is filled with poisonous fog all year round, hiding murderous intentions.
If you don't take the anti-poison pill in advance and enter there, you will become insane, cruel and crazy, killing each other until you all die in there!
Fortunately, he still had an anti-poison pill on him, and he would find a chance to take it later.
When they are all dead, it will be time for you to escape!
Tiezhu immediately suggested, "How about we take the lead?"
They charge ahead, so if there are any problems, those behind them will have time to react.
It's useless.
The little leader shook his head inwardly and sneered.
No matter whether they are in front or behind, once they walk into the middle of the forest and are surrounded by poisonous fog, it will be their death!
Xie Zhuoning glanced at him thoughtfully, then tilted his head and asked, "Ayu, did you find any problems?"
Song Yuqiu shook his head. "Whether there is a problem or not, we will know after we go in. However, the mountains here in Xichuan are high and the forests are dense. There are not only poisonous insects and poisonous plants, but also various poisonous fogs and miasma. To be on the safe side, everyone should take a pill of my newly developed Baihua Detoxification Pill first!"
As she spoke, she distributed the detoxification pills one by one.
Everyone took it and swallowed it immediately.
The leader also got one, but he looked down on it.
This Baihua Detoxification Pill sounds very powerful from the name, but does anyone know if it is effective?
He didn't eat it, but secretly replaced it with the anti-poison pill he brought with him.
"Let's go." Xiao Jinxuan spoke.
A group of people entered the woods.
Xie Zhuoning suddenly felt his palms getting warm, and when he lowered his head, his palms were wrapped by the man's big hands.
"Hold on, don't lose it." He didn't turn around, his voice was low and powerful.
Xie Zhuoning raised his eyebrows and curled up the corners of his mouth silently.
Their journey was extremely smooth, with the only setback being a group of poisonous bees that rushed towards them, but turned around and left when they smelled the scent of the Hundred Flowers Detoxification Pills on them.
But the little leader was unlucky. He was stung by a poisonous bee on his buttocks, which instantly became swollen and made his buttocks round and plump.
Song Yuqiu was surprised and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Baihua Jiedu Pills are for preventing insect bites, so how come they have no effect on you? Do you have a high resistance to the drug? But it's okay. This poison won't kill people. It will wear off in a few months."
It took several months to disappear!
Then doesn't he have to just lie there all the time?
The little leader was completely clueless.
The anti-poison pill can only detoxify the poison mist, who knew that I would encounter the overlord poisonous bee!
Looking up and seeing the foot of the mountain, Xie Zhuoning was a little surprised. "I didn't expect that he could get out so smoothly. It seems that he really didn't lie."
But what she couldn't understand was the calculation that flashed across that guy's eyes.
Could it be that the real killer move is yet to come?
After hearing these words, the young leader was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.
But it’s okay, the highlight is yet to come.
"There is a ravine in the sky, connected only by a few chains. People can only sit in baskets hung on the chains and be sent up by people turning the wheel."
"There are several sentries on top. If they find someone wrong, they will immediately shoot a rocket to ignite the basket. The person sitting inside will either be burned to death or fall to their death after the basket burns!"
The predecessor of the Green Forest League, Qinglong Village, relied on this natural ridge to withstand countless government crackdowns on bandits, and remained standing throughout Xichuan, firmly sitting in the leading position.
Song Yuqiu's mouth twitched. "Isn't this just a simple human-powered version of a cable car?"
"Cable car?" Xie Zhuoning looked at her puzzledly.
She explained with gestures, "We have this thing, it's used for mountaintop sightseeing."
Xie Zhuoning suddenly realized what was going on and turned to ask Xiao Jinxuan, "Since this place is only connected by a few steel cables, why don't the government cut the cables?"
In this way, those bandits cannot come down, and food and supplies cannot go up. Won't they be trapped and die up there?
Xiao Jinxuan thought for a moment and said, "Collusion between officials and bandits has always existed. If the officers and soldiers get something out of it, it is possible to leave them a way out."
But after so many years and so many crackdowns on bandits, it is impossible that every official was bribed by them.
Therefore, they must have left themselves a way out!
Xie Zhuoning propped up his chin and said, "Since we need a retreat, that retreat cannot be built randomly. It must be hidden and not easily discovered."
Xiao Jinxuan added, "We also need to follow the terrain of the mountain and take advantage of the dangerous terrain."
"It would be best if we could escape the encirclement of soldiers and reach a safe place directly."
The place that meets all the conditions is the Green Forest Alliance’s retreat!
Xiao Jinxuan jumped up to the top of a big tree, looked around and observed the terrain.
Soon, he determined the route, "There!"
