In ancient times, he became a god in the mountains.

Chapter 144 Could it be some rare treasure?

Gu Yuexi is currently on the cliff of Broken Souls. If there is no heavy fog, the army below will be able to see the Golden Sacred Palace with golden light and nine-colored rays of light shining together.

In the canyon, a scream came out: "General, it's bad. The fog is poisonous. The soldiers are foaming at the mouth. It looks like they can't hold on for much longer."

Zhao Hu's deputy general saw that his soldiers were fine just now, but in less than half an hour, their faces turned pale and foamed at the mouth. He guessed that the fog was poisonous.

Zhao Hu's face was filled with sorrow, and he said in frustration: "What can I do? His Majesty has ordered me to lead the troops back to the capital within a month. If I miss the trip, His Majesty will blame me. Not only will I be punished, but you will also be charged with desertion!"

He is eighty-two years old this year and has served Daxia all his life, but he has never married or had children. If Your Majesty punishes him for missing the march, it will not be a big deal for him, but it will implicate the soldiers under him. They have fathers, mothers, wives and children, unlike him who is a lonely man.

"General Zhao, don't say that. It's understandable that we are trapped in the canyon. His Majesty is wise and will not blame you or me." The military advisor consoled.

"Yes, yes, yes! As long as we tell the truth, how can His Majesty blame us? The soldiers present are the heroes who destroyed the Western Frontier. His Majesty loves his soldiers like his own sons, so he should not blame the loyal ministers and generals who risked their lives for Daxia!" The deputy general also spoke up.

"You don't understand. His Majesty is no longer the same Majesty as before." Zhao Hu sighed.

His Majesty now only thinks about expanding the territory, so much so that he has emptied half of the national treasury and has not even paid the military salaries for several years. If it had not been for the successful conquest of Western Xinjiang and the use of its cattle and sheep as food, the soldiers present would have starved to death long ago.

Looking at the soldiers foaming at the mouth, Zhao Hu couldn't bear it and jumped off his horse.

"Military doctor, what's going on?"

When the soldiers fell just now, the military doctor in the team had already taken action.

Several military doctors looked at each other, all finding the situation difficult.

"General Zhao, we haven't found anything unusual, but I'm afraid this mysterious fog may have unknown dangers." A military doctor said with a heavy heart.

"Ugh!"

Zhao Hu sighed again.

"General, we have to find a way out quickly, otherwise we won't have enough food and fodder." One of the deputy generals was named Chen Wu, who was in charge of logistics. He was very worried when he saw that the food and fodder would not last for a few days.

He looked into the thick fog, bowed and said, "General, I beg you to allow me to go ahead alone to find a way out. If I can find one, the soldiers can get out of this strange place. If not, let me clear the way for the soldiers down there."

"This..." Zhao Hu's heart trembled, moisture appeared in the corners of his eyes, and he finally sighed heavily.

"Go."

"General Chen!" The others couldn't bear it.

This place is so weird.

They have been walking for so long these past few days but haven't found a way out. Can Lieutenant General Chen find a way out by himself?

Chen Wu smiled at everyone in a consoling manner, bowed to Zhao Hu, and said solemnly: "I will take my leave!"

Then he got on the horse, turned the horse's head, and whipped the horse's back. The horse felt pain, stamped its four legs and ran forward.

"General Chen, be careful on your journey!"

Zhao Hu shouted from behind.

The rest of the people stayed where they were.

First, many people turned pale and foamed at the mouth and couldn't walk. Second, they tried many methods but failed to get out of the canyon, so they waited for news from Chen Wu.

Chen Wu went alone away from the crowd to find a way to survive.

In the thick fog, I couldn't see any other scenery in front of me, and all I could see was frosty white mist.

He rode his horse and ran in the canyon for a long time.

The horse collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion, chewing grass unconsciously, as if it had forgotten its master, and would not get up no matter how hard he whipped it.

"brush!"

Suddenly, some terrible creature flashed by in the fog. Before Chen Wu could see it clearly, the bushes in front of him moved violently. He was filled with fear. A long snake that covered the sky appeared in the fog. Although he could not see its appearance clearly, Chen Wu felt terrified.

"what!"

He screamed and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Monster! Monster! No! It's a youkai!"

Help! Someone save him.

Although he knew that he would die in an accident, the strong desire to survive when he saw the monster still filled his heart with the desire to survive.

The long snake suddenly lowered its huge head towards him.

"Ah!" Chen Wu screamed.

"boom!"

Just when the snake was about to touch him, a golden light hit the snake. The snake twisted its body in pain in the fog, and a pile of scaly things fell off.

"hiss~~"

"Bang!" Another mysterious light hit the snake's head.

"Bang--" the big snake fell to the ground and the earth shook a few times. Chen Wu walked closer and found that the size of this big snake was even more terrifying than a small mountain.

Has it become a spirit?

He looked at the big snake and breathed a sigh of relief.

It... is dead?

Suddenly he thought of the light that had just saved him.

What on earth is that?

For some reason, Chen Wu did not sense any crisis from the two lights.

He had a guess in his mind, could it be that he encountered a soft-hearted monster?

Gu Yuexi found a three thousand year old snake. The snake had not successfully transformed because it had killed too many people. She dug out the snake's demon pill and exchanged it for faith power.

Then he used his spiritual power to force back some of the fog.

The Golden Holy Palace was flashing golden light and nine-colored divine light in the vast fog. Its sacred splendor was awe-inspiring. It was the only light in the strange fog.

"what is this?"

Chen Wu looked at the precious light inlaid on the cliff wall.

Could it be some priceless treasure?

He was only shocked for a moment and did not stay for long. He wanted to find the exit of the canyon.

However, the moment the fog slowly retreated, he looked at the "precious light" on the cliff and was speechless. His pupils shook and he took a breath. This turned out to be a temple.

Could it be that he found the monster's lair by accident?

The thought frightened him.

Then he shook his head. The light that had just killed the big snake seemed to have come from this direction.

"Is he a god?"

Whether it was true or not, he would tell the general.

If he really is a god, then they can be saved.

Several hours passed and there was no movement in the fog.

The soldiers were lying on the ground in a daze. Only a few of them were awake, and Zhao Hu was one of them.

"General, why hasn't Lieutenant General Chen come back yet?" A military doctor looked anxious.

Zhao Hu's heart sank.

This place is weird, and it is not known whether Chen Wu can survive.

"General!"

Suddenly, a sharp call came from the fog.

Zhao Hu's body trembled.

"Chen Wu!"

He looked in the direction where the voice came from, eager to see Chen Wu. There was still some hope left in his heart.

If this continues, the soldiers will foam at the mouth and the remaining conscious ones will surely collapse.

Now Chen Wu is their only way to survive.

I hope Chen Wu can find the exit. Even if he can’t, at least a clue will be good.

"General! I'm back!"

Chen Wu's figure on horseback galloped out of the fog with an anxious expression on his face.

Zhao Hu instinctively felt that he had gained something, and with his relatively calm eyes he looked eagerly at Chen Wu on horseback.
