After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

The Northern Barbarian Army, which was chasing them vigorously, saw the group of people suddenly disperse and flee in all directions like fallen leaves swept by autumn wind, and they were suddenly at a loss.

They are all one pair: (⊙_⊙)?

They were aggressive and pursued them like hungry wolves, trying to catch them all in one fell swoop.

This sudden change caused them to fall into a brief period of confusion.

The leader of the Northern Barbarian Army was a burly man with a ferocious face. He opened his eyes wide as if they were copper bells, trying to find the leader among the scattered crowd.

But this group of people seemed to have planned it in advance. After dispersing, they quickly blended into the surrounding dense forest and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The Northern Barbarian Army looked at each other. Some wanted to continue the pursuit but were stopped by the leader.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm the anger in his heart at being tricked.

"Since this group of people dare to act this way, they must have something to rely on. If we pursue them rashly, we will probably fall into their trap!"

Upon hearing this, the Northern Barbarian Army had to slow down their pace and tentatively search around.

If Xu Qingqing were here, she would say, "That's a good analysis. Don't analyze it next time."

After Xu Qingqing fired the flare, she quickly caught up with the troops.

The group hurried on their way in the morning light. With the help of the sun, the bumpy and rugged mountain road from last night was now clearly visible.

However, as noon approached, the temperature rose rapidly under the direct sunlight, and the originally cool mountain breeze became sultry, as if it wanted to evaporate all the moisture in the human body, making people feel stuffy and unbearable.

Taking the injuries into consideration, Xu Qingqing and others had to stop frequently to rest and replenish water.

At this time, beads of sweat appeared on everyone's face and their clothes were soaked with sweat.

They sat on a huge rock, wiped the sweat with their sleeves, and quietly felt the breeze blowing by, taking away some of the dryness.

Xu Qingqing keenly discovered that the seriously injured people in the Tingwei Army had some inflammatory reactions, so she took a kettle and avoided the crowd.

After a while, he handed the canteen to a relatively intact Thunder Warrior: "Feed this water to your companions, it can prevent the wounds from getting worse."

The man took the kettle and put it to his nose and sniffed it. A faint bitter smell came to his nose, mixed with a hint of an indescribable smell. He frowned slightly and fell to the ground, unable to tell what the medicine was.

He looked up at Xu Qingqing and saw that her features were clear and her eyes were bright.

He clenched his hand holding the kettle and said solemnly, "Thank you."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards several seriously injured companions, gently held their heads and fed them the potion one by one.

Finally, seeing that there was still some water left in the kettle, they distributed it to a few people who were less seriously injured. Seeing this, those people didn't say anything. They took the kettle and took a small sip each, trying to get a share of water to every injured companion.

In the Thunder Force, when medicine is available, it is an iron rule to give it to the seriously injured first. Because only in this way can everyone's survival rate be guaranteed to be higher.

After feeding the medicine, Xu Qingqing and her group took a short rest and were then forced to continue their journey.

They knew very well that only by leaving the mountain as quickly as possible could they completely avoid the possibility of being caught up by the northern barbarians and ensure their own safety.

After all, although the northern barbarians are brutal, they dare not easily chase out of the war zone between the two countries.

While they were on the road, they remained vigilant at all times. Xu Qingqing led the way and Wang Dahu stayed behind, trying their best to leave no traces.

As time passed, night gradually fell.

After a day's trek, they saw that no one had caught up with them for the time being. They had no time to see how far they had gone, and the people who stayed on watch fell into a deep sleep.

When the first ray of morning light shone on the earth, the first person who opened his eyes saw the official road at the foot of the mountain.

It is safe there, away from the war.

"We are finally leaving this mountain!" the man shouted excitedly.

The cheers woke up the others, and looking at the official road that was just around the corner, everyone felt relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their hearts.

Xu Qingqing also smiled.

With hope, Xu Qingqing had someone check on several seriously injured members of the Tingwei Army again. Perhaps it was the anti-inflammatory medicine Xu Qingqing gave them yesterday that took effect, plus their physical constitutions were originally good, so the inflammatory reactions of these people have subsided a lot.

Seeing that their injuries did not worsen, Xu Qingqing waved her hand and continued on her way.

The forest was silent, with only the occasional chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves in the breeze.

Xu Qingqing and her group walked through the dense forest, their steps light and quick.

However, before they had walked for long, suddenly, a slight sound broke the silence around them.

Just like the sudden sound of falling leaves in the night wind, it made everyone who were originally happy to see the official road shudder.

Could it be that they had already been caught up by the northern barbarians...

Such thoughts flashed through everyone's mind.

Xu Qingqing and the others immediately became alert, their heartbeats instantly accelerated, "Boom, boom, boom!", and every heartbeat seemed to be audible to others.

"Who is it?!" Xu Qingqing asked in a low voice towards the direction where the voice came from.

Everyone stopped and looked around vigilantly.

Everyone held the weapon tightly in their hands, their fingers tightly clasped on the hilt, their muscles tensed, ready to respond to sudden attacks at any time.

The air around seemed to freeze, only the slight sound continued and was getting closer and closer.

Xu Qingqing and others held their breath, concentrated their ears, and tried to catch more sound clues.

Everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit, like a string about to break.

Time became slow at this moment, "breathing" and "inhaling", and the breathing sound was so deafening at this moment.
