Chapter 186: In the Darkness Before Dawn
The moment before dawn is always the darkest.
Zhang Shao extremely disliked rushing in the middle of the night when he was out of sight. Because of his vision problems, he had tripped three times in a row by the dark pit. Although he had his own confidant soldier holding a torch, at this darkest moment, even the fire could not illuminate the things within two meters around him.
"The canyon at night is really damn dark!" Zhang Shao, who was in a harsh environment, had made him feel pampered since childhood, and cursed unbearably. At the same time, Zhang Shao did not forget to turn around and glared at the soldier holding a black sword on the other side.
If this soldier named "Fei Yi" hadn't died, but suddenly broke into his military camp at night, he would probably still be holding those magical recruits in the warm camp, drinking sweet hops and wine. Why did he come to suffer this crime in the middle of the night?
But even though that was the case, Zhang Shao did not accidentally have an attack. Because, compared to the "energy crystal" he was about to obtain, he could tolerate this aggrievance.
That's right, it's the energy crystal, and there are still two!
When he heard Fei Yi say "After destroying two enemy defense towers, he found two strange red crystals in the ruins", Zhang Shao even thought he had heard it wrong.
Perhaps for the soldiers in the legion, the energy crystal is just a stone that looks like a gem, but in the eyes of Zhang Shao, the son of the hero who has come into contact with many secrets, its significance is priceless. No, it should be said that this pure energy crystal that is forcibly extracted from the earth cannot be bought even if there are mountains of gold and silver!
Zhang Shao was ecstatic and even proud.
In fact, he has long been the "candidate" selected by the hero. As soon as the time is right, he can easily get rid of this weak body of a mortal.
In this case, there is an energy crystal delivered to the door for nothing. How could he not be ecstatic? After all, this energy crystal is too precious and rare. Who knows that when will it take to collect fifteen pieces?
Zhang Shaozeng once believed that he was born not a thing in the pool, and this time, he was even more sure that he was the legendary son of destiny. Everything was like a help from God. You could get two energy crystals without any effort. The most important thing was that you didn’t need to hand over these two energy crystals, because no one knew that he had taken them!
Wanting to be a place to enjoy the fun, Zhang Shao laughed unscrupulously: "The Liu Chan, who came back from Jixia, is really a famous mentally retarded child. It turns out that he can't help but mud, ha!"
From Fei Yi's mouth, Zhang Shao learned about the ridiculous deeds of the unparalleled demon Lu Bu abandoning the tower in the face of the battle, and also learned that Liu Chan had ignored the energy crystal after breaking through the two defensive towers on the road in a row. In Zhang Shao's opinion, this was simply a big deal!
"Uh, young master, please be careful." A low voice came from the soldier holding a torch in his hand.
As Zhang Shao's confidant, Fan Qiang's rebellious words have long been commonplace, but at this time, Fan Qiang still reminded Zhang Shao with his eyes: There are outsiders next to him.
(No one remembers this supporting role, who is affiliated with the centurion of the lower legion, see Chapter 130 for details).
Zhang Shao naturally knew what Fan Qiang meant, but even so, his eyes when he looked at Fei Yi were still full of disdain.
The reason why Zhang Shao dared to despise Prince Liu Chan so unscrupulously was not entirely due to his arrogant arrogance. Most of the reason is that Zhang Shao firmly believed that he did not need to worry about anything in front of these garbage.
Hum, what does it matter? These soldiers will never dare to show off because they dare to disobey him, only dead people have always been dead, just like the soldier named "Wang Yao".
It seemed that he felt Zhang Shao's provocative gaze. Fei Yi understood it and bowed and whispered: "I heard nothing."
Zhang Shao smiled.
This is a soldier who "knows the current affairs" and he likes it very much.
"You said before, which unit are you from?" Zhang Shao asked.
"The 13th main force of the upper legion, commander Fei Yi." Fei Yi replied respectfully.
"Very good." Zhang Shao nodded with satisfaction, "When you get the crystal, you come to the lower lane army to follow me, and I will protect you for your life's glory and wealth!"
Fei Yi was stunned and then said happily: "It is my honor to be able to serve the young master!"
"Lead the way." Zhang Shao raised his hand, very proud.
This is how these soldiers are. If they give them a little bit of grace, they can make them devote themselves to their loyalty. To a certain extent, this extremely ignorant nature is indeed very "cute" in the eyes of those who are superiors.
The three of them continued to walk on the dark road like this, but not long after, Fan Qiang suddenly grabbed Zhang Shao. The force was so strong that he almost dragged Zhang Shao to the ground.
"Bastard, what are you doing?!" Zhang Shao couldn't help but stagger and curse.
"Prince, please calm down." Fan Qiang shrunk and pointed to the front, "It seems that there is something in front."
Zhang Shao was slightly stunned, subconsciously looked at the endless darkness ahead, and indeed he saw a vague outline, silently blocking the middle of the road like a ghost.
"Who is it?" Zhang Shao asked to the darkness, as if full of momentum, but in fact, his forehead was slightly sweating.
In such a dead and dark canyon, in the only light place, Zhang Shao always felt insecure, and even had the illusion of being about to be swallowed by the infinite darkness at all times. As a result, something that suddenly appeared that he didn't know whether he was a human or a ghost, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
However, what made Zhang Shao even more shocked was that in the dark, there was no movement from "that thing". It was just like that, silent and silent.
Driven by fear, Zhang Shao almost instinctively began to think about it; could this be something unclean? Will he immediately jump up and bite him after getting closer?
The more I thought about it, the more I became more scared. Zhang Shao turned his head and ordered: "Fan Qiang, I went over and chopped that thing to see if it was a human or a ghost!"
"Me, me?" Fan Qiang's face turned pale immediately.
"Baolish, can you still have to go?" Zhang Shao said with a glaring eyes.
"But" Fan Qiang looked at the darkness in front of him, and swallowed with difficulty.
Objectively speaking, the reason why Fan Qiang was able to become a centurion was because he was servile and flattered Zhang Shao so much that he had today's status. In terms of courage and force, he was actually not even as good as an ordinary soldier.
At this time, Zhang Shao's imagination of "that thing" was even more exaggerated than Zhang Shao. In short, it was: green face, fangs, no eyes, rotten worms all over, and likes to eat people raw.
Fan Qiang didn't want to go over when he was beaten to death, but he didn't dare to disobey Zhang Shao's orders. Just in a dilemma, Fei Yi, who had been watching, suddenly came over and bowed and said, "Young Master, please rest assured, that's my comrade-in-arms."
As soon as Zhang Shao finished speaking, before he could speak, Fan Qiang, who was shocked, immediately cursed: "Damn, don't you say it earlier! You did it on purpose, right?"
As a result, Zhang Shao slapped loudly in the face with his backhand: "Shut up! You, a waste, deserve to be shouting here?"
Having said that, Zhang Shao's tone was obviously dissatisfied, and he said to Fei Yi: "Are your comrade-in-arms a mute? Isn't say anything for a long time?"
"Young Master, calm down, my comrades have no malice. In fact, those two rubies were also found in the ruins of the defense tower." Fei Yi said.
"You mean, the gem is on him?" When Zhang Shao heard the energy crystal, he suddenly disappeared, and his expression was even more excited.
"Yes, the journey is long. In order to avoid overworking the young master's body, I asked him to come here to wait, and asked his son to be angry." Fei Yi said.
"Haha, okay! I just like sensible subordinates like you!" Zhang Shao was overjoyed, and then even walked into the darkness himself and walked towards the shadow he should have been afraid of.
There was indeed only one person blocking the middle of the road, but because the environment was too dark, I still couldn't see the appearance of this person clearly. I could only roughly tell from the outline that this was a soldier wearing a cloak.
"Where is the thing? Hurry up, give it to me!" When he got closer, Zhang Shao couldn't wait to ask for it.
After a slight rustling sound, a brilliant red light suddenly bloomed in the darkness!
On the white palm with some slight sword cocoons, two red diamond-shaped gems that flowed light radiated mysterious and dazzling red light. In the darkness, it was like a flower on the other side blooming in hell, so charming and so eye-catching.
That is an indescribable beauty.
It is also the crystallization of the earth that even the heroes covet
