Wu Gen and Sun Hong moved forward with the flow of people. On both sides of the team, there were soldiers on horseback holding spears on guard.

Since disembarking from the ship, because they had no mounts, the group could only walk in a hurry, urged by the soldiers' whips. This walk lasted seven days, starting in the morning and stopping at dusk. Moreover, no food was provided every day, and they could only walk at night.

Can rest.

When I was thirsty, I could only pick up the remaining snow on the ground to quench my thirst. The people at the back of the team couldn't even look at the snow mixed with mud and rocks, so they had to break some branches and put them in their mouths to quench their thirst.

When they were hungry, they either had to eat the dry food they brought with them, or they could only snatch food from others. Some people even cut the animal skins they were wrapped into into small strips with a knife, chewed them up and swallowed them.

In the end, some people found it difficult to persevere, some gradually fell behind, and some fell to the ground and never got up again.

Wu Gen once saw a man lying on the ground with no physical strength, blocking the progress of the team. He was thrown by the soldiers to the side of the road. He looked at the team that was advancing rapidly and cried loudly, begging others to take him along.

After all, an ordinary person can encounter opportunities that change his destiny and cross life stages several times in his life.

But at this moment, no one has the energy to support others.

Life in the world is like a big wave crashing into the sand, and a boat against the current. There are a few people who finally reach the top of the mountain. The countless skeletons and ghosts wandering in the dust and mud on the way forward are just four simple words on the book, all living beings.

Can Xue was trampled by others, leaving only ugliness.

Wu Gen tied a rope around Sun Hong's waist and tied the other to himself, stumbling on the muddy snowy road.

Sun Hong, who had lived a carefree life since he was a child, could no longer hold on on the third day. His face was pale and his eyes were dull, almost like a walking corpse. If Wu Gen hadn't taken care of him all the way, he would have collapsed long ago and become a stepping stone for everyone.

Ice corpse.

Wu Gen ran the mind meridian over and over again to keep his body active. This way he could not only guard against possible attacks, but also familiarize himself with the mind meridian. The result was a sharp increase in food intake.

At night, Wu Gen was chewing on a branch that still had some bark. His eyes were glowing green, and he looked left and right, as if he would choose someone to devour at any time.

Sun Hong fainted from hunger. To prevent him from biting himself, Wu Gen stuffed a piece of wood into his mouth, which made harsh creaking sounds from time to time in the darkness.

Wu Gen stood up and walked towards a bonfire. Next to the bonfire sat a young man in white and a group of people. These days, this group of people had no shortage of food and drink. Not only were they fully prepared before leaving, but they also replenished food from others along the way.

Walking to the bonfire, Wu Gen squatted down and stared at a deer leg roasting on the fire. The bald man next to the boy was about to scold him, but he stopped him.

The young man in white had a playful smile, his slender fingers were clean and elegant, and he gently turned the burnt deer leg, "This brother, something is wrong." Under the swaying firelight, his handsome face looked a little strange.

"I want to buy some food." Wu Gen replied hoarsely, his stomach growling unsatisfactorily.

"Hahaha." Several people around the young man laughed. These days, this was the first person who dared to talk to them like this.

The young man in white couldn't help but laugh, "This brother is just joking, that's fine if it's on normal days." He leaned forward, "On the trial road, food is as good as gold.

You know, if you have more food, you can live a life. Do you think it is appropriate to exchange our lives for yours, huh? Besides, why are there so many people here buying from me alone."

Wu Gen turned his head and looked around, and said slowly: "When I was a bandit, there was a rule in the village that women and poor people were not robbed. These people only had rations to survive. It was impossible to sell them.

, snatch, either he dies or I die, which is against the rules of the road.

You are the only one who has some surplus food here, so you begged for some shamelessly, and besides, I am buying." When it came to buying, Wu Gen emphasized his tone and took out five taels of silver from his pocket.

Before the young man could speak, the bald man next to him said fiercely: "Get away. Five taels of silver at this moment is no different from the stones on the ground. If you don't leave, I will remove your bones one by one."

Wu Gen didn't pay attention to the big man, but still looked directly at the young man, "You are a smart man, I don't ask for much."

The big man was furious and just about to get up, but was grabbed by the young man.

The young man tilted his head and looked at Wu Gen, "You are threatening me. Normally, I should be furious at this time and order my men to swarm you and chop you into pieces."

But I'm in a good mood today, so I'll allow you to buy some food." He gestured to his subordinates to bring out a palm-sized piece of bread, "Fifty taels of silver is really only worth this, do you want to do this business or not."

After looking at the noodles and the five taels of silver, Wu Gen stretched out his hand to take the noodles and turned back to Sun Hong.

When Wu Gen walked away, the bald man was a little puzzled, "Master, why do you want to give him food? There are so many of us here, are we afraid of him?"

The young man's face was a little gloomy, "This person gave me the feeling of being very dangerous. Everyone else stayed away from me along the way, but he was the only one who dared to come up and ask for it.

Forget it, try not to cause any more trouble before officially embarking on the road to death. It won’t be too late to deal with him after he has entered the road to death. When the time comes, I want to watch him eat an elephant.”

Wu Gen took the noodle cake and returned to Sun Hong's side, opened his mouth, tore the noodle cake into pieces, and put it into his mouth bit by bit.

Sun Hong was unconscious at first, and he vaguely tasted the cake. He snatched the cake like a tiger, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it without even chewing. After taking one bite of the cake, Sun Hong was still stunned.

Not satisfied, looking for food in confusion.

Looking at his empty hands, Wu Gen sighed, stood up and left the team, walking towards the darkness.

"What are you doing?" The black-faced officer stood under a tree with a knife in both hands and asked coldly.

Wu Gen looked back and said, "Let's go find something to eat."

"There are many evil beasts in the mountains here, so I'm not afraid of dying among them."

"Since it's all about death, I don't want to choose to starve to death."

The officer was startled for a moment. This was the first time that a tester had spoken back to him, "That's true. We will set out early tomorrow morning. If you don't come back, you will be considered dead."

Wu Gen agreed and blended into the boundless darkness.

So everyone watched this somewhat thin figure disappearing step by step.

It's not that no one has ever thought about going out for food, but when they saw the huge animal hoof prints on the snow and the terrifying roars along the way, they gave up the idea and decided to grab the safety of those around them.

In the middle of the night, Sun Hong woke up and looked around, but did not find Wu Gen's figure, so he couldn't help but become anxious. After waiting for a while, he finally couldn't hold himself back, whispered to wake up the people around him, and asked.

After learning the whole story, Sun Hong walked to the edge of the team, looked at the direction Wu Gen was leaving, and sat down silently.

A glimmer of dawn appeared on the horizon. The black-faced officer looked into the distance, sighed, and ordered everyone to get up and set off. Everyone was packing their luggage, but Sun Hong was still looking into the distance dreamily.

No one paid attention to him. Countless people walked around in front of him without even looking at him, as if he didn't exist.

As the team was about to set off, Sun Hong suddenly stood up, pointed in the distance and stumbled away.

Following his gesture, he saw a man stepping on thick snow and ice in the faint morning light, with white mist steaming from his body, walking heavily towards the team.

Seeing the restlessness of the crowd, the black-faced officer turned his head in surprise, and was startled for a moment. A smile appeared on his face that was always as solid as iron.

With the support of Sun Hong, Wu Gen came to the crowd, his body covered in blood, carrying a huge bear leg, and the bear's paw was even bigger than his face.

Wu Gen's face was ferocious, and the murderous aura in his body was almost substantive. He glanced around with sinister eyes, as if he was going to kill someone at any time. Everyone avoided his eyes. Such a murderous man who did not want his life would not do anything unless he had to.

Confront it.

The team continued to move forward. Wu Gen took out a large piece of roasted bear meat and handed it to Sun Hong, saying in a low voice: "Eat it quickly, eat it in a big way, don't hide it."

Sun Hong took it and took a few big bites. It was delicious. He had never eaten such delicious food in his life. Looking at the coveted eyes of the people around him, he felt a little proud and slowed down his eating.

Wu Gen's face was tense, he walked forward with a high attitude and strode forward. Seeing Sun Hong's appearance, he gritted his teeth and whispered: "Eat quickly, don't you know how tired it is to pretend to be tough?"

Sun Hong came over and said, "Captain, you are someone who can kill a giant bear. Who else dares to provoke you?"

"Shit, he wasn't beaten to death. He was sleeping in a cave, and I drugged him and made him unconscious." Wu Gen said angrily.

Sun Hong was horrified and moved, and hurriedly ate the meat in his hands. He was really seeking death just now, feasting in a group of hungry people. It was really the old man who had taken poison and was tired of living.

The team traveled for another three days and finally reached the end of the trek.

In a huge valley, there is a huge circular arch. There is like a light wall in the door, with ripples appearing from time to time.

In front of the arch, several tents have been set up, and cavalry in black armor come and go from time to time.

An officer with a fierce face and a stained scarf on his head sat in front of a table, looking disdainfully at the flow of people who looked like refugees with disheveled faces.

After everyone arrived, the officer stood up and said loudly, "Those who read the license plate number will come forward to receive their waist badges. After entering, they will stay for thirty days. After thirty days, they can return here according to the waist badges.

The rules are very simple, you have to get the five-color stone, and the top twenty with the most waist cards at the same time are the winners." He took out a fist-sized jade stone with five colors and raised his hand to indicate it.

"It's just that there is a formation here. Once you enter, you will be transported to any place at will. As for where you end up, it depends on your luck." The officer looked at everyone slyly.

Then, the officer read the number loudly, and the people he called moved forward one after another. When 300 people were gathered, he signaled these people to enter the arch.

Wu Gen and Sun Hong were assigned to the third group. Fortunately, the remaining five Dingyuan City Army servants were also in this group.

These five people were headed by a corps commander named Bian He, who had been distant from Wu Gen from the beginning and did not want to get close to him. Wu Gen didn't care about this. Sun Hongye had already made him very anxious.

However, when we are on the road to death, since we are both in the army, we still have to say hello.

"Commander Bian, would you like to enter with me?" Wu Gen chatted with a smile. When the first two groups entered, Wu Gen found that all the people in the same group held hands when they walked into the arch. Come to think of it,

It should be possible to still get together after entering.

The more people there are, the more chances of winning.

Bian He looked at the other four people and pondered for a moment, "Okay, then please ask Wu Commander to take care of them."

Wu Gen stepped forward in a familiar manner and put his arm around Bian He's shoulders. "It's easy to talk about it. We are all from the Xiang Army. We should be of one heart and one mind and help each other. The seven of us are of the same mind. Why should we be afraid of those young people?"

Bian He laughed awkwardly a few times, and calmly got out of Wu Gen's embrace.

"Hold me when you go in later." Wu Gen walked back and asked Sun Hong. In a place like this, this young man who has lived a good life since childhood is like a little white sheep. If he goes in alone, he may die without knowing how.
