Monument Yangmen

Chapter 229 The pile of corpses in the forest
"promise!"

After the soldiers of the Black Armored Army, the Scarecrow and the generals of the Huyan family shouted this word.

Yang Yansi led his plundering brigade and began to march towards Jiaozhi.

Yongzhou and Jiaozhi mountains are densely covered with dense forests, and the roads are rugged. It is not advisable to ride a horse, so the group gave up riding and walked instead.

Yang Yansi led the people to the junction of Jiaozhi and Yongzhou, and easily found a wide road opened by Hou Renbao and the imperial army from the forest.

Everyone walked along the avenue.

The more you stretch out into the mountains, the narrower the avenue becomes.

From the avenue where eight horses could pass in parallel at the beginning, it finally became a mountain road where two horses run side by side.

The mountain road is rugged, and next to the mountain road is a cliff.

"Fuck~"

A soldier of the Black Armored Army lost his footing and almost slipped down the cliff.Thanks to Peng Pai beside him, he lifted him up with one hand, preventing him from falling off the cliff.

"Such a wide mountain road, won't you lean in? You just look down the cliff. I'm tired of work." Peng Pai put down the black armored soldiers and reprimanded him.

After the soldiers of the Black Armored Army stood still, their legs were still trembling, and he still had a grateful look on his face after being reprimanded by Peng Pai.

Zhao Di speeded up and approached Yang Yansi, the leader of the team, in two or three steps.

His face was gloomy, "Master, he should have seen the corpse under the cliff, that's why he lost his composure."

Yang Yansi's face was gloomy as well. While climbing, he said in a deep voice: "Many people have seen it, but no one has said it."

"Those are the corpses of the imperial army."

Yang Yansi looked at the winding mountain road with no end in sight, and sighed: "Hou Renbao didn't know how many corpses of the forbidden soldiers were filled in to open such a road..."

Zhao Di followed Yang Yansi's gaze, and saw some trees protruding from the broken rocks on the cliff in front of him. On these trees, there were scattered corpses of the imperial guards.

"Keep going!"

Zhao Di gritted his teeth and roared.

In the team of more than 400 people, no one spoke, all of them were sullen and walked forward with their heads bowed.

Undoubtedly, the corpse hanging on the cliff made them feel a little sad.

The same soldiers, maybe one day in the future, they will hang alone in other places like those forbidden soldiers hanging on the cliff.

Maybe there won't even be a body collector, leaving their corpses to be eaten by wild beasts and vultures.

"There is a snake~"

The team that bowed their heads was silent, and suddenly someone exclaimed.

Then, everyone saw black snakes as thick as thumbs rushing out from the side of the mountain path.

"Don't panic!"

The scarecrows have been in the forest for a long time these days, and they know how to deal with it.

They used the realgar powder prepared in advance and sprinkled it around.

However, someone was bitten while driving the snake away because of panic.

"Don't move~"

Yang Yansi ordered everyone not to move, and then ordered the scarecrows to bleed and apply medicine to the soldier bitten by the snake.

Because he wanted to go into the mountains, Yang Yansi bought a lot of snake medicine from the sluts and Liao people, which were specially used to deal with being bitten by a snake.

"Everyone take a break here, Peng Pai, take someone to have a look. There are so many snakes gathered here, it's a bit unusual."

Peng Pai nodded, and took a group of scarecrows into the forest next to the mountain road.

After a while, Peng Pai and his group came out of the forest with gloomy faces.

"What did you find?"

Yang Yansi asked.

Taking advantage of his face, Peng Pai gritted his teeth and said, "Not far from here, there is a pile of corpses."

Yang Yansi frowned, "The body of the forbidden army?"

Peng Pai nodded.

Yang Yansi frowned and said, "Not buried?"

Peng Pai shook his head, "When we rushed over, a large group of beasts were gnawing on the corpses, and a group of snakes were also gnawing on them. Many corpses had been gnawed into bones..."

"There were too many beasts, we didn't dare to approach them, so we retreated."

"Huh..." Yang Yansi closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice, "Hou Renbao is doing something wrong!"

"Did we bury them?"

The soldiers of the Black Armored Army were wearing visors, so they couldn't see his expression, but from his tone, he could feel the unrest in his heart.

Peng Pai said in a deep voice: "There are too many beasts, we only have 400 people, if we rush over, we will be swallowed by the huge herd of wild beasts..."

When the words fell to the ground, everyone's eyes were on Yang Yansi.

Feeling the eyes of everyone, Yang Yansi sighed helplessly.

"Prepare the torch, let's try it, if it doesn't work, we'll leave quickly."

In fact, Yang Yansi's approach is a bit stupid.

In this almost primitive mountain forest, as an enemy of wild beasts, it is easy to be trampled into pieces of meat by wild beasts, and then turned into the excrement of wild beasts.

But he had to go, if he didn't go, he would feel uneasy.

The crowd prepared torches, and led by Peng Pai, they entered the forest and approached the place full of corpses.

As Peng Pai said, the closer you are to the pile of corpses, the more beasts you will encounter.

Barely approaching the place where the corpses were piled up, they saw wild beasts gnawing around the corpses.

Some obviously hostile beasts were divided into left and right sides to eat.

The snakes were extremely active in the pile of corpses, crawling in and out of the corpses.

Yang Yansi's face turned pale, some of the scarecrows had already started to vomit under the support of their companions.

"Too miserable~"

Zhao Di vomited for a while, then said something trembling all over.

"What should I do?" Peng Pai subconsciously wanted to take everyone away.

"Set it on fire!"

The leader of the Black Armored Army gave such a suggestion in a heavy voice.

Yang Yansi covered his mouth, trying hard not to spit out the contents of his stomach.

Panting heavily, he said, "First find a way to get some corpses, let me see the cause of their death..."

Yang Yansi saw that there were quite a number of corpses, about five or six hundred.

With such a large pile of corpses, he really wanted to know the cause of death of these people.

Before Yang Yansi could tell the Scarecrow to do it, the Black Armored Army sent out ten people in a stroke, lurked in the past, and dragged back three corpses from around the corpse pile.

The soldiers of the Black Armored Army who went to drag the corpses were more or less bitten by snakes.

The scarecrows were responsible for bloodletting and medicine for them, and Yang Yansi led people to examine the corpse.

"There are no obvious wounds on the body, and the bones are not blackened. It doesn't look like it was poisoned or attacked by a beast..."

There were traces of beasts and snake bites on the corpse, but some causes of death could be seen in the intact place.

"A certain family probably guessed a little..."

Huyan's family general looked a little gloomy, and said this sentence.

"I probably guessed something too."

Yang Yansi straightened up and looked at the pile of corpses in the distance with a complicated expression.
