When did those golden sword friars arrive at the stronghold? Anyway, Zhang Qian and Gan Lin had no idea before, and they never thought that this time they would drill into the bamboo sea and act together with the most mysterious and legendary friars in the dynasty.

Zhang Qian's two battalions, with a total of 2000 people. Among them were a thousand spearmen, five hundred baggage men, three hundred swords and shields, and two hundred bow and crossbow men. Gan Lin's command is similar to Zhang Qian's, but the difference is that the sword shield hand is a little different from the bow and crossbow hand.

There were twenty-five Jinjian friars who came to cooperate with Zhang Qian's department. They were divided into five teams and dispersed in the array of two battalions. The leader was a friar in the middle of Yuan Dan territory, surnamed Lin and called Lin Yeping. He was a silent man who basically wouldn't say one more word to Zhang Qian.

In the bamboo sea before dawn, everyone tied the cuffs and necklines of their clothes with ropes in advance. All their feet were replaced with Dai Bang's boots. Gao Bang also tied them with ropes to ensure that no insects would climb in. The remaining exposed skin is covered with a thick layer of dark green ointment.

The smell of the ointment is very bad. Although it doesn't make people sick or smoke their eyes, it also has an uncomfortable rotten smell, like rotten eggs for four or five days.

Ordinary soldiers feel very angry. While swearing, they honestly put on a thick layer of ointment. It stinks a little, but it's life-saving.

Those who have accomplishments must also be wiped, because it is also a consumption to isolate mosquitoes by relying on the true Qi mask. In the thousands of miles of bamboo sea, every minute of true Qi is likely to save your life. If you can save it, you will save it. Secondly, it is said that many mosquitoes in the bamboo sea have the characteristics of some fierce animals. If the strength of the real hood is not enough, they can't be stopped at all. Friars with low accomplishments are not very different from ordinary people in the bamboo sea.

Zhang Qian's cultivation is also in the spirit gathering state, which is not low, but he doesn't care whether the ointment stinks or not, so he applies it directly. But the accompanying golden sword friars didn't touch this smelly ointment. But it's not that the golden sword friars boast that they are enough to deal with mosquitoes in the bamboo sea, but that they have other ointments, colorless and tasteless. They say that the effect is better than that of Zhang Qian.

No one said anything about this differential treatment. Friar Jinjian, it's normal that people are different. Besides, I can't tell that they have to rely on each other to survive in the bamboo forest.

After entering the bamboo forest, Zhang Qian consciously slowed down the pace of progress and waited for the rain in the back, which they had discussed before.

"You can't slow down, you must arrive at the first rest point within the scheduled time and speed up the foot journey!" only one hour later, Lin Yeping noticed Zhang Qian's careful thinking, immediately found Zhang Qian and stopped him with cold words.

"Lord Lin, the rest point on the map is not far from our current position. I have discussed with the Ganlin department behind. Wait a minute, they will be safer to watch around at that time." Zhang Qian didn't want to hide from each other. Now we coordinate together. That's the people on a boat. Basic trust still needs to be there.

"No." Lin Yeping still shook his head. Seeing that Zhang Qian still had to explain, he interrupted: "The bamboo sea is no better than the official road outside. It can make you slow and fast if you want? The distance from here to the rest point and the departure interval between the two battalions are dead. If you slow down and wait for the people behind, you will delay a lot of time in the difficult places ahead, which will make you unable to reach the rest point at the scheduled time.

What do you think will happen if you miss the rest point in the bamboo sea? "

What will happen? Zhang Qian wanted to ask, but finally he saw that Lin Yeping's face was covered with cold and frost, so he could only suppress his curiosity. Then he sent a message to Gan Lin behind with a thousand mile note, and the previously negotiated front and rear watch ended unharmed.

Think about it. If you can watch each other, you won't let the two groups of people entering the bamboo sea be so far apart. Zhang Qian can only secretly say that he took it for granted before.

Urged by Lin Yeping, Zhang Qian had to speed up his march to catch up with the previous progress. Half an hour later, the outpost that opened the way in the front sent back the news. Zhang Qian immediately went out to check.

Just a mile in front of the brigade, on a small open space less than four feet to the right of the route marked on the map, there were three bodies. The bodies were dressed in the same Jingjiu chaobian military uniform as Zhang Qian's headquarters.

"Is this... The person in the front line?"

Although the dead body was miserable, like poisoning, it didn't smell at all. It was obviously dead for two days. It should be three soldiers in the two battalions in front of Zhang Qian's headquarters.

"Don't get close to the corpse. Pay attention to your feet! See, that's the tieteng needle orchid written in the booklet for you." Lin Yeping also followed and directly reminded several soldiers who were going to get close to the corpse to be careful.

The corpse was poisoned. It looked miserable, but there was no obvious trauma on the body. When you look carefully, you can see that the soles of the three people's shoes were trampled on some small vines like withered grass. These vines grew on the fallen leaves on the ground and had fine thorns. They were inch long and as hard as iron needles. It was easy to pierce the soles when you stepped on them. And these iron needles were highly toxic. They could make ordinary people feel comfortable in a few breath Dead, dead like this.

As soon as Lin Yeping opened his mouth, several soldiers around who wanted to turn over the body immediately broke into a cold sweat. The nearest section of tieteng needle orchid was less than two feet from their feet.

"This poison not only kills people, but also makes corpses produce poison, so that the living creatures poisoned by these things can only slowly rot in situ and become the nourishment of tieteng needle orchid, rather than being dragged away by the animals in the forest.

This is why the route is marked with red lines on the map and marked on the roadside. This place is dangerous. If you are careless, you will die on the spot, so be more careful. "

Zhang Qian nodded and said to the Deputy official on the side, "don't deal with these bodies. Put up a wooden sign to remind the people behind you to be careful of the iron vine needle orchid under your feet. The rest continue to move forward."

Compared with the people in front, Zhang Qian will not leave these bodies to drag down the Ganlin department in the back and set up a wooden sign, which can not only be alert, but also prevent the people in the back from accidentally repeating the mistakes.

Moving on, the fallen leaves on the road are getting thicker and thicker. Stepping on it is like stepping on a carpet. It's soft, but it makes people very uneasy. Because God knows if something will suddenly come out under these fallen leaves to sting you.

When the third one was stung and died quickly by an insect that suddenly crawled out from under the fallen leaves, someone began to help his feet with some bark or wood chips, and then stepped on it with his weapon.

This kind of poisonous insect hiding in the fallen leaves is difficult to prevent, at least not by relying on the insect repellent ointment.

Now Zhang Qian has seen why Lin Yeping did not allow him to slow down the March before. Now I'm forced to slow down. If I had walked slowly before, I would have missed the rest point with the marching speed on this section of the road. If he spent the night in this environment, Zhang Qian couldn't stop getting angry.
