Chapter 343: The Cursed Land

"Everyone retreat!" With Asgen's order, the team began to slowly move back. His men rode horses and drove the car, driving the remaining cattle and sheep back along the original road in an orderly manner.

After retreating for about a kilometer, Asgen issued another order: "Stop!"

After looking at Zi Yang in a blink of an eye, Asgen said coldly: "Camp here today and continue to move tomorrow."

Zi Yang looked at Asgen in a little surprised. He thought Asgen would directly announce his abandonment of the expedition.

After witnessing the death of the bull, anyone present understood how dangerous the road ahead was. At this time, if Asgen proposed to return to Risheng Fort, Zi Yang and others could not refute it.

But it seems Asgen did not give up.

After dinner that night, everyone went back to their tents. The camp was silent. Asgen's war horses had been rigorously trained and never made neighing sounds easily. The entire camp was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.

Asgen ordered four fires to rise around the camp, and a cow was tied next to each fire, and everyone took turns to watch.

They spent a long night in tension.

The next morning, Zi Yang left the tent early and saw the misty area between heaven and earth. Asgen's people had already stood up and were unpacking the tent to pack up their things.

Asgen stood alone outside the camp, holding his hands behind his back, staring motionlessly at the cursed land in the distance.

Zi Yang said before coming to Asgen: "Brother Asgen, how do you arrange it today?"

"This road can no longer be taken, let's try another direction." Asgen's cold tone was as usual.

Zi Yang thought for a while and said, "Brother Asgen, don't take what Lao Wang said yesterday. That guy's brain is sick."

Asgen turned to look at him: "My mission is to send you to that location safely. I will do my best to do what I promised my father. As for what you think in your heart, it has nothing to do with me."

After hearing what he said, Zi Yang was not only a little ashamed, but perhaps they all blamed Asgen for mistakenly.

From Li Tianming to Wang Yangming, Professor Zhang and Zi Yang have experienced so many intrigues and design persecutions, and the trust between people has long disappeared in his heart.

But not everyone in the world is so dark. The taciturn man in front of him may not be as cold as he looks on his face. His indifference to everyone may be because of them that caused the disaster of the Canglang clan.

Zi Yang didn't know how to apologize to Asgen. Seeing that he didn't look like he wanted to chat with him, he hesitated for a moment and returned to his tent.

He rested until after 10 a.m. and waited until all the fog had dissipated, Asgen decided to leave.

Asgen and the others carried advanced GPS equipment, and they found another route outside the road yesterday.

This time the march was much more cautious than yesterday. A cow and sheep walked in front of the team. After driving their people away, they followed dozens of meters away. The large army went back ten meters.

Although this travel is very slow, it is obviously safer.

When they encounter places with bones on the road, they will bypass them from afar. The closer they get to the target, the more bones they see.

By the afternoon, the cattle and sheep they brought on the road had been changed in three batches, and the route was changed again and again.

Su Rui noticed that every group of cattle and sheep leading the way was in a low-lying and leeward-looking place.

And in the sun and the wind, no abnormality has ever happened.

At Su Rui's suggestion, Asgen planned a new route, and the team was almost walking on the ridge. The two cars he brought could no longer drive, so they put their luggage on the horse's back and continued along the rugged peaks.

I just walked and stopped and finally arrived at the valley where the coordinates were located in the evening.

The legendary Valley of Death was at your feet. Seeing the narrow valley full of bones, Lao Wang couldn't help but tremble a few times.

"Is this the one who stepped on the horse the gate of hell? Why is it so evil? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought I was watching a horror movie."

Asgen glanced at Su Rui: "Do you have any opinions?"

Since they discovered the law of death of cattle and sheep, everyone followed the route suggested by Su Rui. No accidents happened along the way. Asgen couldn't help but look at the little girl's ability. At this time, there was no other way ahead. If they wanted to reach their coordinates, they had to cross the valley of death.

The question is what kind of danger is hidden below that will make this narrow valley full of animal corpses?

Su Rui said thoughtfully: "From the previous accidents, what we encountered may be a kind of miasma. In some low-lying and leeward-backed places, a large amount of toxic gas was deposited. Cattle and sheep died immediately after inhaling poison gas."

Zi Yang frowned and said, "No, I remember that miasma is only found in the primeval forest with humid and hot climate. The air here is so dry and cold, and there is not much vegetation covering it, so there is no conditions for formation."

Su Rui nodded: "This is exactly the strange thing. I can't figure out how these poisonous gases are produced and why the concentration is so high that large livestock such as cattle and sheep can fall down in an instant. Unfortunately, we lack the corresponding instruments and equipment, otherwise we can collect gas samples and analyze the ingredients."

Lao Wang said impatiently: "Can we stop standing on this hillside and talking? My farts and farts are getting cold! Tell me to see if we can walk through this Dead Valley alive. What's the principle? We are not here to do scientific research!"

Although Lao Wang said it very roughly, the truth is indeed there. Now is not the time to discuss these things. The coordinates on the map are within their sight. You can already see the ruins of trees with your naked eyes.

But there was such a valley of death covered with corpses in front of them, but they could not cross the past.

Asgen ordered a sheep to drive down. After shaking his head and walking in the valley for more than ten meters, he knelt on all four legs and lay on the ground without moving.

Everyone gasped.

"This road is not open!" Lao Wang said with a bitter face.

Su Rui looked around and pointed to the hillside behind the ruins and said, "From there, you can directly reach the coordinates. It is the windward surface and is on a high place, so it will probably be safer."

Asgen looked at the place and said, "It's too far. We have to go around a long circle to get there. Moreover, this mountain road is too steep and even the cattle and horse cannot walk."

Su Rui said regretfully: "But this is the only way we can choose."

Go or not? They are facing a difficult choice.

Zi Yang and A Chong looked at each other, turned to Asgen and said, "We plan to give it a try. Brother Asgen, thank you for your help along the way. If you go back now, I can understand."

Lao Wang panicked, "Ah? Don't go! Don't leave! We'll be fucked when they go back! Are you familiar with this place?"

Zi Yang gave him a glimpse of the eyes: "The road ahead is too dangerous, so let's not force others to do anything."

"You still have to go by yourself even though you know it's dangerous? We are not humans? You are not fleshy?"

"Shut up! Otherwise, I will kick you into the ditch!" Zi Yang said in anger.

"You dare!" Old Wang said with a lip of his lips, looking at the bones in the valley below, and finally stopped saying a word.

Asgen was silent for a while, turned to look at his subordinates, and then looked at Zi Yang and said, "They stayed here to camp, I'll go with you. Each of them brought three days of supplies. When the supplies were used up, they retreated immediately!"

Zi Yang looked at Su Rui, and Su Rui nodded.

He looked at A Chong again, and A Chong said briefly: "Yes."

Zi Yang looked at Asgen and said, "Okay! That's it!"

Lao Wang muttered unhappily: "At least, ask me your opinion! Lao Li, are you a human? Brothers who have been born and died together, are you treating me like this? Do I have a big shot in your heart? You just reply to me..."

At that moment, Asgen gave instructions to his subordinates, Zi Yang, A Chong, Su Rui, Lao Wang, Xiao Hei and others began to prepare the supplies and adventure equipment they would carry with them.

Seeing that Lao Wang was carrying a submachine gun on his back, Zi Yang couldn't help but persuade him: "We can't use this bulky thing, you should bring more food, medicine, water, etc."

"No!"

After everything was packed up, Lao Wang raised his gun into the air, "Comrades, let's go!"

A Chong glanced at everyone and said, "I walked in front, Xiao Hei was the second one, keeping a distance of 30 meters from me. The others followed."

Zi Yang understood that A Chong ranked the two best-in-class people in the front to deal with emergencies.

Although he knew that he was very good, Zi Yang still told him in a long and long way: "Remember to go to the sunny place at a high place. It is best to stand on the windward side. The speed is slower. If there is anything wrong, then you can withdraw it first..."

A Chong nodded, tightened his backpack tightly, and jumped onto the rugged mountain road.

The mountain range they were walking on was winding and terrain. The wind and rain all year round carvings the mountain peaks like a knife and axe. It was too difficult to say that there was a "road". Walking on it was similar to rock climbing. There could only be one person passing through the narrow path. In some places, half of the foot was stepped on the ground, and half of the foot was in the air. Below was the rocky cliff.

Except for A Chong who was walking in the front, the others were all connected with safety ropes. Because they could not get professional climbing equipment such as mountain climbing picks, they prepared several short-handled sheep horn picks instead. When they encountered dangerous places in the mountains, they first used sheep horn picks to fix the safety rope on the mountain wall, and then others passed by in turn.

This speed is similar to that of a turtle climbing hill. They spent more than half an hour climbing, and less than two kilometers away from the original place.

While carefully climbing the hillside, Zi Yang looked up from time to time to look at A Chong's figure ahead. Now he doesn't know what the specific cause of the death of animals is, and it is not absolutely safe on the ridge, so don't have any accidents.

After passing a ridge, A Chong in front suddenly stopped moving.
