Heaven

The name of the gun is Liquan. It is cast from thousand-year-old cold iron. It weighs 36 jins and is eight feet long.

————————————————————————————————————

In the evening, by a mountain spring——

"It's here." Lao Gao said solemnly: "The poisonous fog is the thickest on the road to and from the two ends. From here along the mountain spring, it should be the place with the least poison."

Ji Kongqing nodded, and put the detoxifying jade and the divine flower together on his chest.He waved his hand to everyone, took a deep breath, and flew into the mist.

Jing Mingrui silently watched him drift away, until Ji Kongqing's figure finally disappeared from sight, and he did not let go of his tightly clenched fists.

"Don't worry, with Ji Kongqing's skills, more than [-]% of them will break through." Even Lao Gao couldn't help comforting him.

Jing Mingrui was shocked.Is it only [-]%?If it doesn't work, just use the contract of two stars. As for the consequences, I can't control that much, let's go through this level first.

He turned his head and forced a smile: "Let's go, let's go to the water source."

Ji Kongqing held his breath and advanced for a distance of tens of feet, but the thick black fog around him was getting thicker and thicker.With strength under his feet, he ran up a branch and took a light breath.There was a faint sweet smell in the air, and Ji Kongqing felt a little itchy throat almost immediately.

What a powerful poison!

The branch he was standing on was at least three or four feet high, but the poison in the air still seemed to be very strong.Ji Kongqing secretly adjusted his breath, and suddenly discovered that the toxins in the poison formation seemed to have the effect of suppressing internal energy.The inner breath only circulated for half a circle and felt a dull pain in the meridians.Fortunately, his meridian is different from that of ordinary people, it is reshaped by medicine, the pain is not very strong.If it is an ordinary master, he is afraid that his meridians will be broken and he will die as soon as he is lucky in the poisonous fog.

Ji Kongqing didn't dare to try martial arts again, so she could only take a deep breath and get down from the tree, continuing to move forward purely by physical strength.

With Baoyu's protection, toxins will not enter the body from his skin, but human breathing cannot stop after all.Ji Kongqing felt as if something was clogging his throat after walking for less than an incense stick, even if he took a hard breath, it didn't help at all.

He fiddled with his neck with one hand, but he couldn't relieve the uncomfortable feeling.He heard from Lao Gao that this was the initial symptom of poisoning, and the onset would pass automatically as the toxin accumulated in the body, so he gritted his teeth secretly.

Ji Kongqing walked and observed the movement around him, trying to distract himself.

He found that every three or five steps, a corpse would be laid flat on the ground on its back.Some of the corpses were dressed in Zhao Jun's uniform, presumably they were Zhao's captives, and some were men, women, old and young, probably the Zhao people captured by Jing Jun.The face of the refined poisonous corpse was lifelike, but the complexion was a lifeless black-gray, and the eyes that were opened were faintly glowing green.

Suddenly, the corpse at Ji Kongqing's feet moved, howled and rushed towards him!

Ji Kongqing was startled, and pulled out the Fengyin knife from one side to chop off the corpse at the waist.The upper half of the poisonous corpse fell to the ground, but it still supported most of its body with its hands and tried to crawl towards him, black and red blood splattered on the ground.

Can you still move like this?Ji Kongqing frowned and ran forward.After walking a few steps, he found that the poisonous corpses on the ground seemed to come to life in an instant, attacking him continuously with strange rattling noises from their mouths.

While dodging and blocking with a knife, Ji Kongqing felt that his breathing became more and more difficult, and even his vision became a little blurred.When he suddenly felt the wind behind him, it was too late to dodge, so he had to try his best to avoid the vital points.

The expected heavy blow did not fall on him.

Ji Kongqing turned around and saw Jing Mingrui's anxious face.

"The situation here has changed, so go back with me first and talk about it later!" He felt Jing Mingrui grab his arm with a warm hand, and he couldn't help feeling warm.

"..."

"Ugh……"

Ji Kongqing closed her eyes, and silently recited the number from one to ten in her heart.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself still standing in the forest.The surrounding trees were cut down to pieces by him, and the poisonous corpse near him on the ground was only left with severed limbs.

Ji Kongqing felt the many damaged meridians on her body and couldn't help but smiled wryly.If it wasn't for the fact that I already had a lot of experience in dealing with illusions, I'm afraid I would die here today.

He lightly scratched his fingertips, reluctantly mobilized his internal strength to force out part of the toxin along the blood, so as to keep his mind clear.

After walking for a while, Ji Kongqing felt that his breathing had become much smoother. In contrast, all kinds of bizarre visions appeared in front of him from time to time.He knew that this was not a good omen, and he was probably poisoned even more deeply.If he could leave the poison formation, he could use the detoxification jade to drive out the toxins in his body, but he didn't know if he could last until then.

Letting "Jing Mingrui" fall at her feet covered in blood again, Ji Kongqing couldn't help sneering: "What a pity, this trick doesn't work for me anymore!"

He knew that he carried not only the lives of more than [-] Chu soldiers, but more importantly, the expectations of the most important person.Sometimes illusions are not all bad things, and they can also be used as a driving force to motivate yourself to move forward!

Not long after he walked, he suddenly found a small earth slope not far in front of him, the terrain was slightly higher than the surrounding area, and it seemed that there was no black fog that had been permeating the surrounding area?

Immediately, Ji Kongqing regained his spirits and headed towards the slope.

After walking up for a short while, the poisonous fog around him had dissipated.

It's finally out!

Ji Kongqing heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at the cracked skin on the back of his hand, and knew that if he didn't force him, he might not be able to join Li Di's rear army.He was determined to find a place to heal the poison for himself after walking for a while.

There is a barracks here!

Ji Kongqing was quite surprised.Judging from the banner, it should be Jing's army. With his current ability, he may be easily knocked down with only three or five ordinary soldiers.

Could it be that I am dead?He even walked to the Jing army's garrison!

Ji Kongqing clenched the handle of the knife tightly, determined to break out no matter what the price was.He looked at the open terrain around him, and it seemed that the possibility of Jing Jun not finding him was very small, and he could only give it a go.

Huh?

Ji Kongqing took a look at the enemy's camp, and suddenly realized that something seemed wrong?

Why did the entire camp seem lifeless, with no one standing guard outside?Could it be that this is just an abandoned military camp, because the Jing army left in a hurry to drop the flag tent?

Ji Kongqing observed for a while and found that he had to pass through this camp anyway to leave from the other side of the hill.If there are people stationed here, the number of people should be no less than [-], and it is tantamount to nonsense to want to pass by.He considered for a moment, determined to take the risk and walked directly to the tent.

Ji Kongqing soon discovered that Jing Jun's camp was not deserted.

It's just that everyone here is dead.

This should be the Jing army responsible for setting up the poison formation.Looking at the rotten corpses on the ground, Ji Kongqing felt a chill in his body.

Lao Gao once said that in order to protect the people who carry the poisonous corpse from being harmed by the poison temporarily, they are often asked to take a special "antidote" in advance.However, the so-called "antidote" can only suppress the toxicity for a while, but it will be more violent afterward.After the arrangement is complete, all the participants will fester and die in less than half a day.

It really is such a vicious scheme, such a ruthless plan!

Ji Kongqing passed through Jing Jun's camp smoothly, found a flat stone and sat down, endured the pain in his meridians and used the orb to force out some of the toxin, immediately discerned the direction and continued on the road.

The phantoms in front of her eyes have decreased a lot, but the skin all over her body is extremely itchy, Ji Kongqing can even feel that some places are torn by the slight rubbing of the clothes, and the blood is slowly flowing down.

There was no longer any delay, even he himself did not know how far he was from death.

"How?" Jing Mingrui asked in a low voice while standing by the stream.

Lao Gao shook his head: "The water upstream was also poisoned. Fortunately, the water is fast and the toxin is not fatal, but it's better to drink less."

"What should I do?" Zhao Zheng looked worried. While he was worried about Ji Kongqing's situation, he also felt very uneasy about the current situation, "The drinking water brought by the army can last for two days is already the limit. ’” Wouldn’t it be terrible if no one came to the rescue after that?I'm afraid it won't take two days, as long as the soldiers know that there is no water source available, the morale of the army will be in chaos.

"Pass down the order and ask a small group of people to come here and dig a deep hole." Jing Mingrui pointed to his feet and ordered.

Zhao Zheng asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Your Majesty wants to dig a well?" There is no such way of digging a well, right?Who would dig a well beside a stream?

The Chu army was very efficient in handling affairs, and soon dug a deep pit one foot square by the stream.Jing Mingrui ordered that the sides and bottom of the pit be compacted.

Taking off the armor and jacket casually, Jing Mingrui jumped into the pit with his upper body naked and Liquan spear in hand.

He stroked the side of the pit wall near the stream with his hand, secretly mobilized his hands, and quickly used the internal force of ice to reinforce this side again.

"drink!"

Jing Mingrui pierced the soil with a spear, and the tip of the spear was exposed in the stream.He used skillful force with his hands, and the hole poked out on the wall of the pit just happened to allow the Liquan gun to pass through, and it was immediately sealed by the cold air, preventing water from seeping through at all.

Jing Mingrui gently turned the tail of the gun, and removed a small mechanism. It turned out that the Liquan gun was hollow!

Jing Mingrui closed his eyes, and the black veins on the Liquan gun gradually deepened, rolling over and over on the gun, as if about to take off.

Suddenly, a stream of water gushed out from the tail of the gun.

The speed of the water was so fast that it had already submerged Jing Mingrui's calf in a short time.Jing Mingrui felt that it was almost done, left the Liquan Spear where it was, and jumped out by himself.

"The Leak Spring Spear can filter out the toxins in the water, let the soldiers drink the water here." Jing Mingrui ordered with his eyes lowered and walked towards his tent.

No one noticed the golden light in his eyes appearing and disappearing...
