Chapter 40
After eating the dry food and making preparations, everyone bowed before the graves of the three soldiers who died in the battle last night.
It is said to be a grave, but it is actually three small earthbags.
There is no inscription, only the wooden token, which symbolizes identity, is inserted in front of the earthbag.
When this kind of soldier who was performing tasks outside died, the general countermeasure was to bury it on the spot.
Buried in place, for the deceased, to avoid the bleak end of exposing the dead.
For the living, it also saves the hassle of transporting corpses.
After everything was done, Li Liang turned his eyes and looked towards Cheng Cang.
He called Cheng Cang to be obedient and to announce the matter.
Cheng Cang immediately strode forward and approached Li Liang after hearing this.
He didn't stop until he was only two steps away from Li Liang.
Even during the fight last night, he never had the chance to get this close to Li Liang.
Unexpectedly, he would have this rare opportunity this morning.
When he got close enough to Li Liang, he heard a cold mechanical sound.
"Ding, find the target, extract?"
This is the sound of the extraction technique of cultivation technique, mechanical and cold. However, in Cheng Cang, it is so pleasing to the ear.
"Yes." Cheng Cang answered silently in the heart immediately.
Then, a white light flew out of Li Liang's body and submerged into Cheng Cang's body.
Of course, all this other soldiers can't see.
"Ding, the extraction was successful, and I got Heavenly Silkworm Art."
Cheng Cang was pleasantly surprised when he heard it.
This is the cultivation technique of Li Liang's cultivation, and it is an internal practice cultivation technique, not a simple fisting cultivation technique.
The Heavenly Silkworm Art cultivated by Li Liang has five variations in total. With every change, the body will undergo qualitative changes, and one can enter an all new realm.
1st Transformation, Li Liang stepped into the Body Tempering Realm.
2nd Transformation, Li Liang stepped into Qi Sea Realm.
Unfortunately, until now, he has not been able to complete the third transformation.
If he completes the third transformation, he can step into the Nirvana Realm.
Cultivation does not rely solely on the cultivation technique, but needs to be supported by various resources. Of course, personal innate talent is also very important.
For Cheng Cang, this cultivation technique is simply provide timely help.
He cultivated Blazing Sky Palm, Dynamic Punch, and Wolf Run, but he did not practice cultivation techniques within cultivation.
Now, with a cultivation technique like Heavenly Silkworm Art, he is like a fish back in water, like a tiger that has grown wings.
He swears he will cultivate Heavenly Silkworm Art when he has time.
All good things come in pairs.
Li Liang announced that a wounded warhorse was allocated to Cheng Cang.
The owner of the war horse died last night, so there is no owner.
Although the war horse was injured, it was not serious, and it was still able to travel.
In terms of normal qualifications and cultivation realm, Cheng Cang is not qualified.
This is not Li Liang's eccentricity, but Cheng Cang's actual actions last night.
It was precisely because Cheng Cang was brave last night, pulling strongly against a crazy tide, and beheading the dunebeast, that Li Liang assigned the warhorse to him.
For this kind of assignment, the other soldiers were envious, but they didn't show any objection.
Who made Cheng Cang the man who killed the dunebeast!
Cheng Cang got Heavenly Silkworm Art and another warhorse, even if it was only temporary, he was happy.
With horse riding, there is no need to walk, which is naturally comfortable.
Under the leadership of Li Liang, the soldiers set off again and went southeast.
In the south-east direction, there is a city bigger than Liang City called Four Directions City.
Four Directions City is the royal city in the north, and is personally ruled by the North Guardian Lord.
In Four Directions City, there are valiant cavalry, the bravest warrior in the north.
Their terrifying is well known throughout the Great Moon Kingdom.
Liang City, a subsidiary city of Four Directions City. One of its roles is to defend Four Directions City.
The food and grass needed by Liang City is delivered from Four Directions City.
They are still far from Four Directions City, just pick up food and grass halfway.
The farther you are from Four Directions City, the more dangerous it is.
Cheng Cang and the others finally came across a convoy delivering food and grass after a long journey.
Ten carriages, all full of grain. There were ten soldiers who carried food and forage, and each was in charge of a carriage.
The way to Liang City is not safe.
Therefore, Cheng Cang and the others came to meet them on the way to protect the safety of food and grass.
Everyone did not rest, and took advantage of the day to hurry up.
There is a carry in the team, so the speed is slowed down.
As they walked back, it got dark before they reached where they had camped last night.
Night is not suitable for traveling, and both horses and personnel need to rest and replenish their strength.
So, Li Liang ordered everyone to stop and set up a camp to build a fire.
Because of the availability of food and grass, it becomes more serious at night.
The soldiers set up camp around ten carriages, guarding the ten carriages of grain and grass in the middle, not daring to slack off.
"Cheng Cang, you are in charge of the vigil." Li Liang ordered.
"Yes." Cheng Cang replied.
Sure enough, there is a reason for letting him ride during the day.
For the vigil, Cheng Cang did not resist. After all, riding in the daytime today, he is not so tired and his energy is still good.
Even if he kept vigil all night, it would be fine.
The night was calm, and there were a few sandworm calls from time to time in the distance.
The fire was flickering, and those in charge of the vigil, such as Cheng Cang, dared not let up in the slightest.
That's how the night passed.
When the day dawned, all the soldiers on the vigil couldn't help but sighed in relief.
Fortunately, I managed to survive another night.
It was just dawn, everyone had eaten dry food, fed the horses, and set off again.
As we get closer and closer to Liang City, everyone's hearts are getting more and more nervous.
I hope not to setback at the last moment, or encounter any accident.
Fortunately, the road was peaceful and there were no accidents.
On the way, they finally met the cavalry sent by Liang City to patrol, and their hearts were instantly settled.
Encountering patrolling cavalry also means that it is not far from Liang City.
At this moment, they only felt that the tiredness on their bodies had disappeared.
When they saw Liang City, they felt like home.
It's finally back!
Everything takes experience.
This is the first time Cheng Cang has participated in the delivery of food and grass. Although he encountered dunebeast on the way, after a battle, he managed to bring the food and grass back alive.
This time, those who participated in the delivery of food and grass will be credited with military merit.
Of course, Cheng Cang, as the one who killed the dunebeast, got more military credits than other soldiers.
As for the three soldiers who died tragically at the hands of the dunebeast, the pension can only be passed on to their families.
After returning to the barracks, the horse that Cheng Cang rode also returned to the cavalry barracks.
He was only temporarily riding, he was just an infantryman, and he had not been assigned a warhorse yet.
However, Cheng Cang didn't care that much either.
After all, he got a Heavenly Silkworm Art from Li Liang.
The biggest gain of this time is the cultivation technique in this department.
Cheng Cang did not go out on missions for the next few days. Routinely go outside to put horses every day, and at the same time shoulder the task of patrolling.
A day like this is a heaven-sent opportunity for him.
Life is bitter and cold, but he rejoices in suffering.
With the time for cultivation, he devoted himself to cultivation Heavenly Silkworm Art, because he also learned from Li Liang's experience of cultivation Heavenly Silkworm Art over the years, so cultivation is like a fish back in water , very smoothly.
Heavenly Silkworm Art is an internal cultivation technique, cultivation of the whole body.
He did his best to cultivate the first transformation, and it only took five days to complete the first transformation.
When he completed the first molting, he did not molt, but excreted a lot of impurities.
After the First Transformation, his cultivation base also successfully broke through, from the middle of Body Tempering Realm to the late Body Tempering Realm.
On the day he broke through, the north wind was howling and the cold was terrifying.
Suddenly, he saw in the sky in the west, a sky-shooting cannon.
The Sky Cannon is used to send urgent news.
Once the cannon is launched into the sky, it means there is an emergency.
After Cheng Cang saw it, the secret was not good.
Then, without the slightest hesitation, he fired the Sky Cannon he carried with him and spread the news to a distance.
Not long after, the fire beacon rose from the beacon tower.
A group of cavalry galloped up, and as they passed, they asked Cheng Cang about the situation, and asked Cheng Cang to mount a filly and go to the west for support.
When he reached a pasture in the west, Cheng Cang saw a soldier who was putting his horse under attack. His body was gone, only a skeleton remained.
Seeing that scene, Cheng Cang can't help being emotional.
It was the first time he saw such a miserable picture, and he was still a little uncomfortable.
This kind of murder is really cruel.
"Barbarian did it!"
The barbarian is very cruel, and is good at slicing people into skeletons with a machete.
These cavalrymen often deal with barbarians, so they are familiar with their methods of killing.
Cheng Cang has only heard of it before, but never seen it. Now that I see it, I grit my teeth for a while.
This team of cavalry, with twenty cavalry, is responsible for handling emergencies, and the leader is an old soldier named Su An.
When I saw that skeleton, his complexion ashen. What annoyed him the most was that there were five horses lying around.
Three of them were mares, and they all had cubs in their wombs.
That is to say, those barbarians, not only killing people, but also killing horses, seem to be revengeful.
If you bring those horses, it will affect their speed of action, and you can only kill them.
All cavalry soldiers have a special feeling for horses. At this moment, seeing the tragically dead horses, all of them have red eyes and monstrous anger in their chests.
"The barbarian should be killed!"
Actually, Cheng Cang didn't feel bad when he saw the dead horse.
After letting horses for so many days, he also developed special feelings for horses. At this moment, he felt uncomfortable inside.
next moment, Su An gave an order to chase those barbarians following the horseshoe prints.
In his words, if you don't kill barbarian, you will never give up.
According to the horseshoe prints, the barbarians went west after killing the soldier who let the horse go.
If you go east, Cheng Cang will also be killed.
On the way, they encountered two more patrolling soldiers, and were also asked to join the team chasing the barbarian.
Further west, there is a village called Xiyue Village.
According to the horseshoe prints, those barbarians went to Yuzuki Village.
"Quick, speed up!" Su An's heart became more and more anxious.
Xiyue Village, although not very populated, is still inhabited.
He just hopes that doesn't happen.
