Chapter 928: Entering the Forest (4,000 words, 2 in 1)

Since the decline of the Xiao family in Notting City, where Xiao's boss is located, Xiao Wentian has suddenly fallen to prison from a rich and wealthy young man, becoming a little beggar who is begging for food, wandering all the way around, and has already learned how to do it. Observing words and colors, how to use a handy way to please others.
After receiving further contact with Ma Hongjun from the head, Xiao Wentian used what he was good at and started talking with Ma Hongjun. After a while, they got together. They knew each other very well, just like an old friend. He saw the other five people behind him. Unusually jealous, but there is no way.
Why do people shoot rainbow farts?
Ma Hongjun took the six soldiers and patrolled the vicinity of the village where the army was stationed for a few laps. After seeing nothing else, he returned to the village.
During the period of Ma Hongjun's inspection, the two thousand pioneers had already started work step by step.
It is worth mentioning that the previous systems of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire armies were different. After Yang Ming took over, in order to avoid trouble, the allied army system was sorted out from top to bottom. The military appearance of the entire army was Earth-shaking changes also followed.
In this two thousand-man vanguard army, it is divided into six groups: cooking squad, communication squad, investigation squad, command squad, engineering squad, and combat squad. The number of each squad varies, and the least number is the commander. There are only ten people in the squad, including Ma Hongjun and Catwoman Dodo. The other eight are professional soldiers. They have experience in unified operations in the past. These eight professional soldiers are the core of command. Ma Hongjun and Cat Female Duoduo is the guarantee of this vanguard.
When Ma Hongjun hurried back to the village, he had already seen the soldiers of the engineering squad outside the village, holding the engineer shovel to dig trenches. The trenches made a circle along the periphery of the village, reaching a depth of about five meters and a width of three meters. The dung was sprinkled with the dung of the fierce beasts. The dung was derived from the previous battle of Yang Ming leading the army to resist the beast tide of the Star Dou Great Forest. The fierce beasts captured alive were dried and crushed and could be stored for a long time.
Many habits of soul beasts are not much different from ordinary beasts. The method of dividing territories between soul beasts is simple and rude. Respect each other like a guest.
Sprinkling these fierce beast feces in the trenches can save some foreign soul beasts from disturbing them on weekdays.
In addition, every certain distance, the soldiers of the engineering squad planted various traps in the trenches, traps, poisons, nails, and so on. Although they were of no use to powerful soul beasts, if they were If there is a small wave of beasts hitting the village, these trivial traps can be used to intercept it, so that the vanguard will have a buffer preparation.
Seeing Ma Hongjun's return, the soldiers of the engineering squad stopped their movements, stood at attention and saluted in place, saying:
"Hello General!"
This is the first time Ma Hongjun has been a general. He feels refreshed, but his face is stern, avoiding laughter and raising his hand to the soldiers, saying:
"You have worked hard."
Walking into the village from the gate, the ground has already been cleaned up, sweeping away the sense of decline when I just arrived.
At this time, the soldiers in the cooking class have set up a large shed and a big pot in the center of the village, cooking food in this temporary kitchen. The green smoke and the good smell of food have finally restored this dilapidated village. Somewhat popular.
Ma Hongjun stepped forward and saw that the soldiers in the cooking squad were doing a big pot of rice. There was porridge in the big pot. Some wild vegetables and meat were floating up and down on the boiling porridge. This is what the soldiers usually do. Meals.
Smacking his lips boringly, Ma Hongjun suddenly lost his appetite.
It was not the first day that the squad leader of the cooking squad met the vanguard general. When he saw Ma Hongjun's expression, he knew that Ma Hongjun was disliked by the soldiers' food without having to speak.
Don't look at people like Yang Ming and Ma Hongjun who eat well and sleep well on weekdays, and they think that ordinary people also eat fragrant and spicy food on weekdays. That is completely an illusion.
In fact, the lives of ordinary people are not that good. Soldiers made up of ordinary people are naturally not much better in their food on weekdays. It is already very good to have a sip of broth. This is also a lot of civilians who are eager to join the army. For this reason, as long as you enter the army, you will have a full meal, but in other places, even eating a full meal becomes difficult.
No matter where it is, there will be a ruling class and a ruled class. Yang Ming is also the group of people at the top of the ruling class pyramid. Naturally, he will not treat himself and the people around him badly. Spoiled by all kinds of delicacies, I can't eat this ordinary meat porridge.
The squad leader of the cooking class wrinkled a smile on his dark face, pulled Ma Hongjun aside, and said:
"General, how can you eat the same things as ordinary soldiers? I specially prepared some good things for you."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun knew that there was something in his heart, and his eyes lighted up immediately, and said: "What good thing?"
"follow me."
The squad leader of the cooking squad also deliberately engages in mystery, but this trick is indeed very effective and arouses Ma Hongjun's interest.
Ma Hongjun motioned to Xiao Wentian and the six to stay where they were and eat with the other soldiers. He followed the cooking squad leader to another open space. This is a back garden. The ground has long been used to simply set up a bonfire with stones and wooden frames. , A few soldiers here used a few tree sticks to stick the crucian carp and roast it by the bonfire, exuding the scent of smoke.
Smelling the smell, Ma Hongjun's saliva almost came out.
Upon seeing this, the squad leader of the cooking class secretly smiled and said:
"General, this is the smoked crucian I prepared specially for you. Please taste it."
Taking the skewers from the other party, Ma Hongjun lowered his head and glanced, the crucian carp skin was burnt black and incense, and a thin layer of spices was sprinkled on it. The red pepper noodles were particularly attractive.
There is an old saying that the fire sings and smokes crucian carp, and the jadeite is meticulously crafted.
"General, in the four seasons of the year, the spring crucian carp meat is rich in fat seeds and delicious. After a period of smoke and fire, the sweetness in the crucian carp meat will slowly brew. This crucian carp is grilled seven times. Mature is the best time, please enjoy it slowly."
The squad leader of the cooking squad was still explaining to Ma Hongjun, Ma Hongjun could not bear it, and took a bite.
The crucian carp skin was crispy, and the teeth made a creak, and it easily bit off a piece of the meat on the belt, revealing the white fish inside. Ma Hongjun resisted the hotness from the tip of his tongue, chewing roundly, and soon felt the fish meat. The taste is tender and smooth, the meat is tender and the meat tastes sweet, especially the incense flavor mixed with the spicy flavor of chili, it is even more memorable.
Ma Hongjun's face flushed red, and a layer of sweat came out on his back and forehead, but he didn't care much, so he raised his hand and wiped it.
A meal of the private kitchen of the squad leader of the cooking class, Ma Hongjun ate his mouth full of oil.
After enjoying the general's special treatment, Ma Hongjun once again brought in the six soldiers from Xiao Wentian just now, and said:
"I don't know why. Since I came to this village, I always feel a little uneasy in my heart. Maybe it's really close to the territory of a certain beast in the Star Dou Great Forest. Maybe you guys will join me later. Go to the Star Dou Forest and explore it."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wentian's six faces changed slightly.
As Yang Ming's new disciples, most of them are very young and don't know how to conceal their inner emotions. What's more, listening to Ma Hongjun's words, they suddenly feel that the Star Dou Forest is extremely dangerous, and naturally panic in their hearts.
Ma Hongjun didn't speak, but narrowed his eyes and watched the performance of the six people quietly.
Before setting off, Yang Ming had talked to him in private about the need to test those disciples in the vanguard. If they failed the test, they would be kicked out of the team and never hired.
This seems cruel, but since these disciples came to Yang Ming’s school, they have received strong support from the top and bottom of the bombing gang. They demanded resources for resources. Also, the "Summoning Demon Sutra" was indeed extremely powerful, making these disciples quickly agree with Yang. Ming has a secret connection and has acquired some skills from Yang Ming. Today, Xiao Wentian, the strongest chief disciple among the disciples, is already comparable to a 30th-level soul sovereign. Although other disciples are weaker, they are also comparable to two. Tenth-level great soul masters, if there is a 70th-level soul sage like Ma Hongjun leading the team, they are all cowardly, then there is no need to continue to smash resources on them.
Fortunately, since these six teenagers were the first group of disciples to learn the "Summoning Sutra", their aptitude and temperament were not a problem. Although they were still very scared in their hearts, none of them refused.
"Very well, you guys keep up with me."
Ma Hongjun nodded slightly, apparently satisfied with the performance of Boss Yang and his group of disciples, which is considered to have passed his test initially.
Ma Hongjun didn't care about the principle that he couldn't exercise just after he had eaten a meal. He walked very quickly. Xiao Wentian and the six people hurriedly followed. They had to trot to barely keep up with Ma Hongjun's speed.
If you have a full meal and go to play basketball, you should know that a sudden strenuous exercise before the stomach can digest the food in the stomach can easily cause stomach twitches.
In a short while, Xiao Wentian's six people covered their stomachs one by one, their faces were pale, sweat was dripping, and there was a slight pain on their faces.
But seeing that Ma Hongjun didn't mean to stop, Xiao Wentian and the six looked at each other. With their ingenuity, they could probably guess that this was the test that the master ordered Ma Hongjun to give them a bite. After gritting their teeth, the six of them clutched their stomachs and reluctantly followed.
When there was less than one kilometer remaining from the Star Dou Great Forest, Ma Hongjun slowed down and let the six soldiers who staggered behind him follow.
Running fast for nearly 20 kilometers is really torturous, not just physically, but more spiritually.
Ma Hongjun glanced back, Xiao Wentian and the six must now be supported in order to barely keep up with his footsteps, frowning involuntarily, and said:
"How did Boss Yang teach you before? Didn't you tell you that you can use Qi to protect your abdomen?"
Xiao Wentian six people: "!?"
The use of Qi is very similar to the use of soul power, just as soul power can flow through the limbs and a hundred veins, and condensed in the limbs can enhance the defense power of the limbs, so Qi can also do this.
After receiving Ma Hongjun’s prompt, Xiao Wentian six people understood what stupid he had done, and immediately put down his mind, mobilized the Qi from the abdomen dantian, around the abdomen, and soon felt a warm feeling in the abdomen, that kind of The pain of stomach twitching has been relieved a lot, and it no longer affects their actions.
"Thanks for the general reminder!"
After Xiao Wentian finished his work, he was the first to clasp his fist to thank Ma Hongjun.
Seeing Xiao Wentian's performance, the other five people were slightly astonished at first, and then showed a bit of mixed emotions.
Unexpectedly, I was one step ahead of this flattery!
After the other five were unwilling, they also clasped their fists and saluted, saying in unison:
"Thanks for the general reminder!"
Ma Hongjun can also see that Xiao Wentian did not intervene in the delicate relationship of the six-member gang. After all, this is the cultivation method of Boss Yang, which is to let them compete with each other and accelerate their growth~EbookFREE.me ~The Star Dou Forest is not far ahead. Don’t blame us for not reminding you. You will follow up later. Be careful not to get lost in the forest. Once you get lost, I won’t bother to find you. "
The six Xiao Wentian expressions were solemn, and they nodded in greeting.
The nearby mountains and forests are different from those in the distance, they appear clear and clear, with clear outlines. There are densely growing trees of different varieties, large and small. The leaves of some trees have fallen out, leaving the sparse and bare branches stretched resolutely, and the stiff trunks stand proudly; some trees still have a few decadent and yellow leaves. Is it an attachment to the tree? Reluctant to leave; some trees are still luxuriant and green, but this green is not as vigorous as other seasons, and it is more thick and rich in some seasons; some trees are red and gorgeously covered with branches. The head is like a bunch of blooming roses; like a bunch of fluttering red butterflies; like a splendid cloud.
The forest at night is too quiet. The original sound of wind and cicadas seem to have disappeared. Only a few bird whimpers are spreading in the empty air from time to time. It seems to be the last struggle of life, and it seems that it is also the last struggle of life. Call for help before death. Dark clouds covered the moon, and in the final brewing, the whole land was shrouded in darkness, and the original teeth and claws of the woods were soaked in the dead light, looking so weak and weak. In the night sky, a gleam of light pierced through the densely covered dead branches and leaves on the tree, reflected in the pupils of a bird, and then dark clouds slowly began to exit the sky, showing the moon little by little, grabbing people’s hearts .
That moon is. Red, red with blood.
The air here is not only fresh, but also densely moist. Walking into the forest, the seven suddenly felt that their bodies were obviously moisturized by a special force.
