The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

This time, the barbarians failed to stop Duan Tianyang's offensive, and in a blink of an eye, he had approached the stone wall on the top of the mountain.

Several foreign soldiers jumped onto the wall and stabbed at Duan Tianyang with their spears like poisonous snakes.

As he moved to the side, he heard several rustling sounds, and three spears passed by his armor closely, leaving three dazzling sparks.

Before the other party could stop, Duan Tianyang moved his shoulders slightly, clamped all three spears under his armpits, then retreated violently, shouting angrily: "Get down!"

The three foreign soldiers were pulled by the spears and fell headfirst from the top of the wall, tumbling and disappearing down the hillside.

At the same time, Qiu Tieyi, Lu Jingyuan and other elite members of the Hongxing Army rushed to the top of the mountain, fought side by side with Duan Tianyang, and slashed at the foreign soldiers who swarmed in with their swords.

Under Duan Tianyang's personal command, the originally planned feint attack turned out to be a real attack, tearing a gap in the barbarian's defense line.

However, this was only a small part of the battle. The resistance of the barbarians remained tenacious, and the Hongxing Army suffered repeated defeats elsewhere.

Unconsciously, this battle had lasted for more than two hours. Duan Tianyang was surrounded by the bodies of the foreign people, piled up like a mountain.

He still had plenty of internal energy, but his physical exhaustion was hard to conceal, and his attack was no longer as sharp and fierce as when he first reached the top.

Qiu Tieyi seized the opportunity, walked quickly to Duan Tianyang's side, and swung his black sword, causing the surrounding foreign soldiers to fall down.

He was still panting as he whispered to Duan Tianyang, "Brother Tian, ​​given the situation, should we consider retreating?"

Qiu Tieyi single-handedly stopped the tide of enemy soldiers, buying Duan Tianyang a moment of respite.

Duan Tianyang took a few deep breaths and glanced across the hillside. His own soldiers were either fallen or injured, and countless more were firmly pinned down by the foreigners on the hillside.

Although he was unwilling to give in, he had done his best at this point in the battle.

He nodded resolutely and said to Qiu Tieyi firmly: "Tieyi, quickly send a signal to the brothers down the mountain to call back the troops!"

Qiu Tieyi responded, the sword flashed again, and he killed several more enemies. Then he shouted to the Hidden Martial Hall staff: "Fire the soundtrack!"

The arrow pierced the sky, accompanied by a long whistle, resounding through the clouds.

At the foot of the mountain, Xiao Fang heard the news and immediately gave the order: "Sound the horn!"

In an instant, the sound of gongs rang out in the Hongxing Army's formation, "dang, dang, dang" continuously.

Advance when you hear the drum, retreat when you hear the horn, this is the eternal term on the battlefield.

As the Hongxing Army took the initiative to retreat, this siege finally came to an end.

Although the battle lasted only more than two hours, it cost both sides a heavy price.

The Hongxing Army lost about two thousand people, and the Panda tribe also suffered heavy casualties, the numbers of the two were roughly equal.

After retreating to the foot of the mountain, Duan Tianyang made a prompt decision and ordered his soldiers to quickly set up camp and build a solid earth wall defense line. It seemed that he was preparing for a protracted war.

Inside the central military tent, Duan Tianyang was shirtless, wiping the sweat off his body with a wet towel, and the generals around him who were participating in the battle were doing the same.

"Send the injured brothers to the Wild Wolf Tribe for treatment, and then transfer them back to the interior after their wounds are bandaged." Duan Tianyang said while wiping the sweat off his face.

Guan Hu accepted the order immediately.

Sading said at the right time: "Master Duan, in my opinion, tonight is the perfect time for us to implement our plan."

Duan Tianyang frowned slightly, then turned to ask about the Panda people's defense situation in the canyon.

Sading smiled and said, "There is no special defense there."

It turned out that as early as when Duan Tianyang and his men launched the attack on Fengming Mountain, Sa Ding had led the "Hongxing Army" team into the canyon and conducted some exploration.

Duan Tianyang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Could it be that the chief of the Panda tribe doesn't know about that canyon?"

Sa Ding raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Maybe he doesn't know, or maybe he knows but doesn't dare to do anything. After all, any disturbance may arouse our vigilance."

Duan Tianyang nodded and agreed: "Okay, after dark, take me to explore first."

After dinner, Duan Tianyang, Sa Ding, Lu Jingyuan, Qiu Tieyi and Hua Duoer quietly left the Hongxing military camp and traveled through the mountains and forests under the cover of night.

They traveled for more than 20 miles, and Sading stopped, pointed at a mountain wall, and whispered, "Master Duan, the entrance to the canyon is right there."

Duan Tianyang looked around and saw only steep slopes and no sign of a canyon.

The flower murmured softly: "There is no canyon here, it's just cliffs!"

Sading did not respond immediately. After looking around to make sure there were no spies, he said to everyone, "Follow me!" He cautiously approached a mountain wall.

Duan Tianyang and his four companions followed closely behind. Sading stopped in front of a mountain wall covered with vines and said softly, "This is it."

He pushed aside the vines, and everyone's eyes lit up. A long and narrow crack suddenly appeared on the mountain wall.

The crack was high and narrow, barely wide enough for two people to walk side by side. It was dark inside and covered with dense grass and vines.

This is just a hidden crevice in the mountain. No wonder it is little known. It is hidden between the cliffs and vines and is very difficult to find.

Duan Tianyang swung his sword suddenly, cut off the tangled vines, and took the lead to step into the deep mountain crevice.

Before the five people went deeper, they heard a faint sound on the ground, like the night wind caressing the sand.

It was pitch black inside the mountain crevice, and even Duan Tianyang could not figure out the source of the sound.

He quickly took out a fire stick from his bosom, blew it gently, and the flames jumped. He bent down to illuminate the ground. The flowers that followed him couldn't help but screamed in surprise and immediately covered their mouths.

In the light of the fire, a shocking scene emerged - the ground was full of centipedes, some of which were as big as an adult's forearm, dark red in color, with black heads and tails, like night demons, which was frightening.

Seeing this, Sading quickly tugged at Duan Tianyang's sleeve and whispered urgently, "Be careful, this is a giant centipede, it's highly poisonous!"

Duan Tianyang turned around immediately after hearing this and gave a simple and powerful order: "Put up the armor shield!"

Before he finished speaking, he was already surrounded by a layer of white mist, and armor protection was formed.

Qiu Tieyi, Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer followed closely behind, putting on their armor for protection.

Sading glanced at everyone, the tip of his knife touched the ground lightly, picked up a giant centipede, and said slowly: "Although this centipede is poisonous, it is also very valuable. It can be used as medicine and soaked in wine. The venom can even be used to forge poisonous soldiers. It is really rare. I didn't expect there are so many here."

Looking at the centipede on the ground, Duan Tianyang felt very disgusted and didn't want to go any deeper.

However, one thing is certain, that is, the Pandas did not set an ambush in the mountain crevices.

This means that either they don't know this way, or they are sure that they cannot find it.

Duan Tianyang shook his head slightly and signaled to everyone: "Let's retreat, let's go back to the camp!"

After saying this, he blew gently to extinguish the fire in his hand, led the team out of the mountain crevice, and merged into the dense jungle again.

On the way back, Duan Tianyang turned his head and said to Sa Dingyan: "Since you think this giant centipede is very precious, then when we cross the mountain crevice later, the brothers from the Wild Wolf Tribe will lead the way and collect all these centipedes, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Sading smiled broadly and confidently said, "This is a piece of cake. Leave it to us."

He then laughed even more happily and added: "Whether it is a giant centipede or an ordinary centipede, they are all timid and will not attack people actively. You don't need to panic too much."

Hua Duoer was standing aside, her eyes swept across Sading, and she whispered, "It would be strange if he wasn't panicking."

As a woman, she couldn't help feeling scared and disgusted when faced with such poisonous insects.
