Entering the Sword Grass Forest in Danger
Once again, he escaped from the encirclement.
Liu Yi turned his head to observe the movements of these pursuers, his heart slightly vigilant.
"Zilong, did you notice that these Mongolian cavaliers seem to only want to delay us?”Liu Yi suddenly said.
"I do have this feeling. If they had surrounded us without any regard for life and death, we wouldn't have been able to rush out so easily just now. Once the rest of the army came to reinforce us, we would be in danger!”Zhao Yun said thoughtfully.
"There are only two possibilities for this situation. One is that they want to capture us alive, and the other is that they are stalling for time and waiting for the experts to come!”Liu Yi frowned.
"Perhaps they are waiting for the experts to come and capture us alive!”Zhao Yun laughed.
"You're right. I'm worried about this situation now. We've killed more than half of the martial arts experts hidden in this army, but we've also exhausted our True Qi!”
"We can deal with ordinary soldiers with just our physical strength, but if we encounter martial grandmasters again, we'll be in danger!”
"Zilong, it looks like we have to change our strategy. The northwest direction is dense with vegetation.”Liu Yi said decisively.
"Senior Brother, it's late autumn now, and the plants are withered. If the other party sets fire, we'll be roasted!”Zhao Yun asked, puzzled.
"Don't worry, when have you ever seen your senior brother do something he's not confident in? It's better if they set fire to it, it'll give us time to recuperate!”Liu Yi laughed.
"I'll listen to Senior Brother!" Zhao Yun said without hesitation.
The two of them rode their horses and changed directions. In a short while, they entered the depths of the vegetation.
This was a forest of sword grass.
Sword grass was also grass. It had no branches or leaves. Each sword grass was long and straight, several feet short and nearly ten feet long.
This kind of grass was not eaten by cattle or horses, and it was rare to see it on the grasslands. However, here, there was a dozen miles of this kind of sword grass.
After Liu Yi and Zhao Yun entered the sword grass forest, they quickly abandoned their horses and disappeared into the forest.
In late autumn, the withered sword grass was the best fuel. Once it was ignited, the sword grass forest would be burned to ashes.
Even the Mongolian cavaliers did not expect Liu Yi and Zhao Yun to enter such a dangerous place.
"Zilong, dig a hole!"
Liu Yi said loudly after entering the Sword Grass Forest.
"Dig a hole?" Zhao Yun was stunned.
" That's right. The order that the Mongolian army received was to capture us alive. However, the two of us killed so many Mongolian soldiers. If the generals in the army saw the hope of killing us easily, they might not listen to the order and might even set fire to us!”
As Liu Yi explained, he used the Heavenly Halberd in his hand like a shovel. In a short while, he had dug a deep hole in the ground that was about two feet deep. However, it was not big and could only accommodate two people standing side by side.
"Once the other party starts the fire, we will jump into the pit and cover it with soil and stones. It will be enough for us to survive in the fire!”Liu Yi laughed.
"Senior Brother, will this method work?”Zhao Yun still had some doubts. After all, water and fire were heartless, and it was a matter of life and death.
"Other than the high temperature, the main reason why fire hurts people is that the air in the fire is thin and the smoke is lingering. Most people who die in the fire are not burned to death, but choked to death!”
"With our physiques, after entering the deep pit, the earth and rocks will isolate us, and the high temperature will not be able to do anything to us. As for the thin air and smoke, we only need to stop breathing to defend ourselves!”
"Don't worry, a mere mortal fire can't do anything to us. Now, let's hurry up and recover our True Qi. What we have to face next is the real test of life and death!”
As Liu Yi explained, he sat down cross-legged beside the deep pit and began to recover his Genuine Qi.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun did not say anything else. She imitated Liu Yi and began to recover her True Qi.
In fact, Zhao Yun asked so many questions not because she didn't trust Liu Yi, but because she wanted to learn more.
The two of them had gone through life and death together. In Zhao Yun's heart, Liu Yi was already like a brother and father to her.
As Liu Yi had expected, outside the Sword Grass Forest, tens of thousands of soldiers were gathered. A few generals from the Mongolian army were arguing with a few people dressed like Jianghu people.
"Set fire, set fire immediately. Once the fire is set, no matter what grandmaster expert he is, he will be burned to ashes!”A brawny man shouted angrily.
"His Highness has ordered us to capture him alive. General Boger, are you going to disobey His Highness 'order?”A skinny old man said coldly.
If Liu Yi was here, he would have recognized that this skinny old man was a Tantra master master who had been injured by him. He cultivated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art and was only slightly weaker than Liu Yi.
"Hmph, they killed so many of my men, I won't forgive them. As for your highness 'orders? Hmph, I, Borg, only listen to His Majesty's orders!”The brawny man shouted angrily.
At this moment, another person dressed like a general also said,"Master Kumu, they're currently deep into the Sword Grass Forest. The Sword Grass Forest has a radius of more than ten kilometers, and the army can't completely surround them."
"If we don't set fire to the forest now, once they pass through the Sword Grass Forest and hide their tracks, they might escape from the army's line of sight. You also know that once these martial arts experts leave the army, we don't know how much we'll have to pay to delay them!”
"In my opinion, it's better to set the fire as soon as possible!”
