Ao Han stayed silent for a long while, before he finally stuffed the entire letter back in place, and replied with difficulty: "Miss Gu said … "My sister is not well."
"Oh, is it serious?"
"Fortunately... "Sick!" Gu Han replied in a deep tone.
Gao Yi sighed and laughed, "That's good. With your expression, I almost thought it was Miss Gu who changed her mind!
Haha... It seems like Miss Gu still cares about you a lot. Your sister has something to tell you, so she wrote to tell you on purpose! "
"I'm so envious …" There's a beauty waiting to go home … "
"That's right. After all, the Heaven's Mandate Holy Son isn't something that poor soldiers like us can compare to!"
The group of cavalrymen discussed in succession, sighing with pride and pride.
A trace of coldness flashed through Ao Han's eyes, but he remained expressionless and silent.
Everyone thought that Ao Han was worried about his sister, so they did not ask.
Along the way, they encountered many demonic snakes roaming about. The cavalry worked together to kill them.
Every time a powerful demonic snake was killed, its head or demonic core would be removed. This was also evidence of its military exploits.
Although there were a few demonic snakes whose strength were already extraordinary, they were all at the half-step point of death and possessed a Mystical Sacred Body. They would be hard-pressed to find an opponent for them.
Every time he encountered the demonic snakes, he would go all out, wishing that he could tear them into a thousand pieces!
When the cavalrymen saw that Ao Han was being so ruthless and merciless, as if he had an irreconcilable feud with these demonic snakes, they all stared in a daze.
As the sky gradually turned dark, field officer Chen looked at the rocky valley in front of him and said, "Alright, we're fine here. Let's go back to the city!"
Upon hearing this, Ao Han frowned and said, "field officer, the further we go, the more remaining demon snakes there are. We can continue to kill some more!"
Commander Chen turned around and said, "I know you want to take some credit. You're in a hurry to return to the Imperial City, but if you go any further, you'll easily encounter the barbarian cavalry."
Furthermore, we did not encounter any powerful demonic snakes in front of us. We were lucky that we did not encounter many demonic snakes above the habitat level during the day.
"We still need time to get back to Beiming City. With so few people, our night activities will be very dangerous, so we have to go back."
With a face full of indignation, Ao Han looked at the bag tied to the horse. Inside the bag were some beast cores, but there was still a lot of space left …
"Don't worry. I will give you more opportunities in the future to compete for military merits. Sooner or later, your strength will soar to the heavens!" Captain Chen advised.
"That's right, Ao Han. You're different from us. You have the Xuan Su Saint Body, so you'll have plenty of chances in the future. But now, your safety is still more important." Gao Yi also tried to persuade him.
Ao Han gritted his teeth, nodding silently.
However, just as the entire troop of riders was about to turn around, a powerful pressure suddenly appeared around them!
"Hiss!"
They saw the land on the slope collapse and a silver coloured demonic snake, with a pair of scarlet-red, terrifying eyes, sprang out of the ground and headed towards them!
"This is bad!" The habitat demon snake!? Disperse! " Commander Chen ordered loudly.
The group of cavalrymen hastily jumped off their mounts. However, the demonic snake was as fast as silver lightning in the night. The moment it rushed out, it immediately captured two cavalrymen!
There were only two miserable shrieks as the two Core Formation Stage cavalry soldiers were directly bitten to death!
Seeing that the situation was not looking good, Commander Chen pulled out his Zhanmadao and slashed at the head of the demonic snake!
However, when Commander Chen reached the Spirit Creation stage, the demon snake's skin was thick and rough, adding that it had an even stronger cultivation, only a layer of its skin was broken!
The pained demon serpent swung its tail and sent field officer Chen flying with a slap, spitting out a mouthful of blood in midair.
"Dying worm!" Eat my spear! " Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gao Yi, using his Spirit Creation Quintessential Essence to go all out, thrusting his spear towards the relatively weaker abdomen area of the demonic snake!
A wound appeared on the belly of the demonic snake, and the pain made it go berserk!
Once Gao Yi's attack succeeded, he immediately ran backwards, shouting as he ran, "Come! If you have the guts, come and kill me! "
Everyone knew that Gao Yi was doing this on purpose to attract the attention of the demonic snake. Seeing that the worm was chasing Gao Yi, the rest of them leaped up from the back, and started to furiously attack the demonic snake's back — saber, spear, axe, and battle-axe!
The silver serpent was hacked several times. Its body was dripping with fresh blood. Suddenly, its body shimmered with crystal white primeval essence, releasing white lightning rings!
As they were approaching the demonic snakes, they were caught unprepared by the sudden release of demonic thunder and were blown away screaming!
Several Core Formation Stage cavalry were directly electrocuted to death!
Ao Han relied on his Mystical Sacred Body, his cultivation was also relatively deep. After withstanding this round of lightning strikes, he retreated a few steps, his face filled with fear!
He truly understood why field officer Chen wanted to return as soon as possible. They were just lucky that they did not encounter any particularly strong demonic snakes!
"Arrogant!"
Gao Yi shouted loudly and ran towards Ao Han, making a battle training gesture with his hand.
The demonic snake's intelligence was not low. They were afraid that the exchange of words would be seen through.
Ao Han held onto his long spear, waiting for Gao Yi to catch up to him. The demonic snake opened its bloody mouth, and Gao Yi jumped in one direction!
At the perfect time, Ao Han aimed at the soft part of the demonic snake's jaw from the other side. He gathered his true essence and thrust his spear in!
The long spear pierced through the demonic snake's mouth and into its brain!
"Ah!"
Gao Yi, who had attracted the demonic snake, couldn't dodge in time. He had misjudged the snake's movement speed, and had one of its left leg bitten off!
The demonic snake fell to the ground, its body writhing. However, it was only a nervous system reaction. It was slowly dying.
Ao Han felt his heart beating in his throat. If not for Gao Yi giving his life to attract attention and teaming up with him, they would have been completely annihilated in this battle!
"Bastard... "Ah …" Gao Yi's eyes were bloodshot from the pain. He painfully hugged his bloody leg and cursed.
Ao Han came back to his senses and ran over, "Gao Yi! How are you doing!? "
Just as he finished asking, he discovered that the blood on Gao Yi's leg had already turned black, and his lips were also a purplish black!
"This... This snake … "Poison..." Gao Yi's eyes were filled with fear. I... Will I die? "
"Don't talk! There is an antidote here! You're about to eat it! " Ao Han quickly took out the antidote given by the northern army before they departed. After all, it was hard to guard against poison as it was specialized in dealing with Demonic Snakes.
Gao Yi gulped down the pill and tried circulating his true essence to resist the poison.
"Go back as soon as possible … If we go back to the city, there will still be hope! " At this time, field officer Chen walked over with great difficulty. He was also heavily injured.
When Ao Han turned his head, he saw that aside from the three of them, only two were still alive.
Commander Chen said, "Ao Han, don't ride the horse anymore. Take Gao Yi and Yu Feng back home. Help him heal as soon as possible."
"Yes sir!" Ao Han nodded his head, bent down and carried Gao Yi.
Just as he was about to leave, the moment he saw Commander Chen, he walked towards that demonic snake and chopped off its head, preparing to take the beast core.
"Commander Chen … …" The long habitat demon snake, can it add a lot of achievements? " Ao Han asked thoughtfully.
Lieutenant Chen was stunned for a moment. He turned his head and smiled as he waved his hand. "Don't worry. This snake belongs to you. This credit will be yours. You should take Gao Yi with you first."
"Thank you, field officer Chen …" Ao Han nodded his head, turned around and took two steps …
Just when field officer Chen was concentrating on taking the beast core, suddenly! A wave of killing intent suddenly appeared behind him!
"Ahh!"
He saw Ao Han leaving Gao Yi, and in a flash, he rushed behind field officer Chen. While he was not expecting this, he used his hand to stab into the back of field officer Chen's heart!
Commander Chen was originally wounded, and he was not on guard. With his cultivation suppressed, he naturally could not withstand this kind of killing move!
"Arrogant!" You. "You …"
field officer Chen turned his head, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. He could not contain his anger!
But before he could finish, Ao Han used his hand to break off Commander Chen's neck!
"Arrogant and cold …" What are you doing? "
Gao Yi, who was extremely weak and had been poisoned by the poison, looked at this scene in disbelief.
"Don't you see that... "He's lying to me, he wants to take all the credit of this snake …" Gu Han said arrogantly.
"Just because of this!? Because of your conjecture, a demonic snake with a long habitat, and you killed Commander Chen!? " Gao Yi said in fear.
"More than one snake. "If you all die, then all the military merits will go to me. I might even have a chance to obtain a second-class merit …"
Ao Han turned around, his expression even more sinister than the pitch-black night …
"Sorry, Gao Yi …" What you said … I don't belong here. There are more important things in this world that I have to accomplish …
I have to get back as soon as possible so that I can accomplish something greater. Don't worry... You will not die in vain.
I will always remember you. It was you who saved me today … "When I become famous, I will take good care of your family in the future …"
After Ao Han finished speaking, a ray of true essence directly pierced through Gao Yi's heart!
Gao Yi spat out a mouthful of black blood, his eyes wide open as he died!
When the two injured cavalrymen behind saw what had happened, they had to bear with their injuries and get up to escape as well.
But Ao Han was already prepared. He picked up a blade and a spear from the ground and threw them towards the two warriors from afar, killing them.
The cold wind that carried the stench of blood blew past the desolate valley, seeming to emit waves of mournful wails …
After standing in the same spot for a long time, Ao Han was finally unable to suppress the myriad of complex emotions in his heart. He directly covered his face and began to cry …
He turned around, looked at Gao Yi, who died with grievance, and roared angrily at the sky.
"Ah! — for God's sake! Why did you do this to me!? "
He took out the letter on his waist, and his face was filled with tears. He tore the letter into pieces, tossed it aside, and scattered it with the wind!
After venting for a while, Ao Han wiped away his tears, organized his thoughts and started to collect the Demonic Cores, snake heads and other spoils of war.
Just when Ao Han was halfway through his collection, suddenly, a dark and mocking laughter entered his ears … …
"Heh heh... Hehe... "Interesting, there's actually such an interesting person in the northern army?"
"What?" Ao Han was shocked, he did not notice anyone secretly observing him. He couldn't help but look around!
"Who!? "Who is it!?"
If the news of what had happened were to spread out, he would be finished!
