At midnight, in the quiet camp, Chen Ming sat quietly on the bed, thinking.

There was deep darkness in front of him. The barbarians in the barbarian tribe would not choose to light candles, so the tent was completely dark.

On the contrary, outside the camp, torches were constantly lit, and the lights above kept flickering.

Occasionally, there are vigilant soldiers patrolling around with torches in their hands.

Looking around, one thought after another flashed through Chen Ming's mind, and he was waiting there quietly, as if he was waiting for someone to come.

Soon, he sensed a person walking outside the camp. After lingering there for a long time, he finally walked in.

Through the thin light outside, Chen Ming could clearly see this man's appearance.

This was a middle-aged man with a decent appearance. He was wearing a leather armor, and there was even some blood stains on it, which foreshadowed this man's experience.

"welcome."

Looking at the middle-aged man walking into the camp, Chen Ming had a calm expression on his face and spoke calmly.

"you......"

Sneaking into Chen Ming's tent, the man didn't expect such a scene. He couldn't help but be stunned and said, "You know me?"

"have no idea."

Chen Ming shook his head, and then said: "But you have been wandering outside my tent these days. However, your concealment method is not very good. It is difficult for me not to notice it even if I want to."

He said this, then shook his head and said: "Since you are here, tell me your purpose."

The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed and he stood there quietly staring at Chen Ming for a long time before he said, "I want you to take me out."

"Huh?"

Chen Ming was stunned for a moment, with a little curiosity on his face: "Why did you find me?"

"You are not a barbarian, but you are respected by those barbarians here, which already explains something."

The man's eyes flashed with light as he spoke.

"You have good eyesight."

Chen Ming nodded, looked at the middle-aged man, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It's okay to let me take you out, but what's the benefit to me?"

He looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and asked.

"I see that you have a majestic figure and strong blood, and you are a talented general..."

Looking at Chen Ming, the man nodded and said: "As long as you rescue me from the barbarian tribe, I can give you a light soldier training method, and I can even recommend you to join the Song Dynasty as a school captain."

"Light Soldier Training Method..."

Chen Ming was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes changed as he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.

Like the other barbarians around him, he originally thought that the middle-aged man in front of him was just an ordinary officer. But judging from the current situation, this man's identity was probably not ordinary.

At least it was not something ordinary officers could do, whether it was secrets such as light soldier tactics or casual promises of the position of captain.

"I want to see your fighting skills."

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Chen Ming's eyes flickered and he finally said this.

"Of course, of course."

Hearing what Chen Ming said, the middle-aged man smiled and then took out a black book from his arms.

He was obviously prepared for it, and he didn't panic at all when faced with Chen Ming's request and took out the things directly.

Taking the book from the other party, Chen Ming opened it without hesitation to verify its authenticity.

The battle formation method given to Chen Ming by the other party included how to select infantry and how to train the elite soldiers of the capital, so that the entire military formation could be integrated into one, thus exerting far beyond ordinary strength.

However, after reading this secret book all the way to the end, Chen Ming also discovered that this battle formation method also had some flaws, and the most critical content was not recorded in it.

"This is only half of the battle formation method."

As if sensing Chen Ming's doubts, the man raised his head and said, "As for the other half, I will leave it to you after we leave the Barbarian Territory."

"Any more questions?"

"No, there isn't."

After closing the secret book in his hand and taking a deep look at the middle-aged man in front of him, Chen Ming said, "When are you leaving?"

"The sooner the better!"

Speaking of this, the man had an ugly expression on his face: "If we go any slower, I'm afraid there will be an accident here."

"Accident?"

Hearing this statement, Chen Ming frowned and was about to continue asking.

A crisp sound of footsteps suddenly came from a distance. Although the footsteps were very weak, they could not hide their ears.

"I'll tell you more about it next time I get the chance."

Hearing the footsteps gradually coming from the distance, the man's expression changed, and then he leaned forward, turning into a shadow and rushing towards the distance.

Soon, he left the camp where Chen Ming was, and his entire figure disappeared under Chen Ming's induction.

"baffling......"

Putting away the secret book in his hand, Chen Ming shook his head, and finally turned around and returned to his bedside.

"It's just right. I was planning to leave in a few days, but now it happens to be earlier."

Lying on the bedside, he thought in his heart.

After nearly two months of training, his injuries were almost healed. There was no point in staying here any longer.

He was preparing to leave this barbarian tribe in a few days, but he didn't expect that he would get some extra gains at this time.

............

late at night.

After carefully walking out of the tent where Chen Ming was, and returning to where he lived, Song Li seemed to feel something, and carefully tore open the clothes on his chest.

On the back of the clothes, there is a black mark, which condenses into the shape of a snake, which looks lifelike and frightening.

At this moment, the mark of the black snake was shining, and the pair of blue snake eyes on the black snake seemed to have come to life, with a strong cold color in them.

"It's about to catch up...just in the past few days..."

After taking off all the clothes, feeling the hot chest and the shining mark, Song Li's face turned ugly, and deep fear flashed in his eyes.

Through the connection between the marks on his chest, at this moment, he seemed to vaguely see a picture.

On a mountain ridge in the distance, I saw a huge black snake, at least a hundred meters tall, crawling on the barren ridge.

Different from ordinary snakes, this giant black snake crawls very quickly. Its huge body stretches gently and reaches a long distance in an instant.

At this moment, it seemed that it felt something. The giant black snake paused for a moment, its eyes looked in a certain direction in the distance, then the snake's tail swung slightly, and its body crawled forward quickly.

Feeling this scene, Song Li's face turned pale, his hands clenched tightly, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

"You must leave as soon as possible, otherwise, you will not catch up..."

He stood up from where he was, looking into the distance following the connection between the marks on his body, and finally this thought flashed through his mind.
