It took more than an hour before the soldiers escaped from the terrifying cave.
But the army now looked completely different.
Before entering the cave, all the soldiers, led by General Yu, were dressed in neat black armor, and were high-spirited and heroic, like an invincible heavenly army descending to earth.
But after coming out of that horrible cave, the desolate desert was littered with discarded armor, and almost everyone was in dishevel, with expressions of fear on their faces.
Among them, there are also many painful and profound voices that are suppressed with great effort.
This scene is in stark contrast to the previous one, and many people cannot accept this fact for a while.
Of course, the person who could not accept this fact the most was the leader of the army, General Yu himself. He originally thought that this trip was a two-birds-with-one-stone affair, as he could kill his enemy Ning Jie with his own hands and travel to the legendary ancient country of Rakshasa and obtain the countless wealth therein.
But now it seems that the mission has failed!
"Go check the situation of the army."
General Yu's face was gloomy, and it took him a long time to utter these words.
The deputy general beside him wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words back and just clasped his fists and replied:
"Yes, General!"
A moment later.
The deputy general came over panting. He didn't even have time to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He fell off his horse and fell at General Yu's feet, not daring to raise his head.
The deputy general's behavior gave General Yu a bad feeling, but he still said firmly:
"Tell me the truth about the situation."
The deputy general lowered his head even lower, tears welling up in his eyes. His forehead drooped weakly on the sand, and he cried out in great sorrow:
"The loss... the loss of nearly 27,000 soldiers!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar. Even the groans in the air could not be heard. The atmosphere suddenly fell into an extremely awkward and cold state.
Even though General Yu had prepared himself mentally, he couldn't help but tremble when he heard the number of soldiers lost.
You should know that he brought more than 30,000 soldiers on this trip, and these 30,000 soldiers were the most elite army that had been trained by him in this border area and had fought with him for many years. They could be called an ace army!
The resources consumed in training such an army can be said to be inestimable, but now nearly 90% of these 30,000 elite troops have been lost!
Such a loss is absolutely unacceptable!
After a brief silence, General Yu, who had always been high-spirited and arrogant, showed an expression of surprise and panic for the first time.
He kept muttering to himself:
"How could this be?"
“How could this be!”
Seeing that all the hard work of more than ten years was destroyed in just half a day, General Yu could not accept this reality. His face was hideous and distorted, and he covered his heart in pain.
The soldiers were helpless and could only stare blankly at the dark cave entrance in the distance. At this moment, the cave entrance was as terrifying as the bloody mouth of a ferocious man-eating beast.
Finally, after an indeterminate amount of time of mental struggle, General Yu suddenly clenched his fists and roared to the sky:
"Ning Jie! It's all your fault!"
"It's all because of you!"
"It destroyed my mother! It destroyed my family! It destroyed my hard work! It destroyed everything I have!"
"I, Liu Yu, will definitely catch you. I will cut you into pieces and chop you into pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
The huge shock made General Yu almost crazy at this time. He finally blamed Ning Jie for all the reasons that led to the current situation.
After all, if there was no Ning Jie, how could such a result have occurred?
So at this moment, his hatred for Ning Jie was even deeper. He now had only one thought left, which was to kill Ning Jie at all costs!
"Everyone, get up! Kill Ning Jie!"
Faced with General Yu's order, the more than 3,000 surviving soldiers were very unhappy, but they had no choice but to drag their bodies and continue on their way.
And at this time.
Ning Jie, who was walking in the endless desert, suddenly sneezed and couldn't help muttering:
"Who is thinking about me? Could it be Xixi?"
An idea flashed through Ning Jie's mind, and he hurriedly took out the sound transmission jade pendant from the Human Emperor Cauldron.
Sure enough, as soon as Ning Jie opened the jade pendant that communicated with Chu Xi, he received a lot of messages from Chu Xi. Most of the messages told Ning Jie that she had returned safely to the East China Sea with the old Dragon King.
"It seems that this girl misses me!"
Ning Jie was delighted. He had been traveling a lot recently and had rarely communicated with Chu Xi, so he hurried to Chu Xi to send a message.
"Xixi, Senior Brother has been very busy recently. Are you doing well in the East China Sea?"
What surprised Ning Jie was that Chu Xi replied very quickly:
"Wuwu... Senior Brother, you finally replied to Xixi's message. Xixi thought you didn't want me anymore. Crying..."
Chu Xi's tone made Ning Jie want to laugh, and he sent a soothing voice:
"Xixi, be good. Senior Brother is just too busy lately."
"So that's how it is. Brother, have you missed Xixi recently?"
"Of course, Senior Brother misses Xixi so much!"
After a brief pause from the sound transmission jade pendant, Chu Xi's soft and sweet voice was heard:
"Brother is bad~Is it bad that you only miss Xixi?"
Ning Jie, who was sitting on the horse, realized that this woman was driving again the moment he heard Chu Xi's words!
Who can withstand this!
