These boulders had stirred up a lot of dust along the way. Moreover, the boulders had been exposed to the wind and the sun for a long time. But, they hadn't fallen off yet … It was hard to tell how many boulders had fallen off … In fact, a small mountain peak had collapsed along with this' boulder flow '…
[My goodness, this is the end of the world!]
Dust was flying in front of the Heaven Splitting Mountain Pass. It was so dark that one couldn't even see one's fingers in front of one's face.
However, the boulder that had taken the lead in rushing down the mountain seemed to have opened up a path ahead of the others. It had bravely and fiercely rushed forward for more than a thousand feet. The momentum of the boulder had finally stopped.
Then, the second boulder, the third boulder, and the fourth boulder …
The boulders continued to fall down like dumplings. It seemed that there would be no end to this … The screams of the people below were drowned out by the earth-shattering sounds of the falling boulders …
The entire slanting valley was in a tragic state.
The people near the exit of the slanting valley were fine. However, these boulders were rolling down the slope. They were smashing and rushing towards the inside of the slanting valley …
The entire slanting valley was divided into three sections.
The latter section was safe and sound. Flesh and blood were flying in all directions in the middle section. But, the first section was also safe and sound.
However, the section where flesh and blood were flying in all directions was close to three to four thousand feet. Neither the men nor the horses were lucky enough to survive.
Wu Kuang Yun had only seen the dust and smoke rising from the top of the Heaven Splitting Mountain Pass. The rumbling sounds had been unceasingly heard. Then, the entire slanting valley had been filled with dust and smoke. His ears had been shaken to the point that he couldn't hear anything. His whole body had been shaken by the tremors.
He only knew that something had happened to the Great Zhao's army in the slanting valley. But, he didn't know what had happened. He was too far away. So, he couldn't see the boulders falling down from the top of the mountain. He could only guess in his heart, [What's going on? What's going on?
My God, my God, my God, who knows about my hardships? So, he came down and gave me such a pleasant visual and auditory feast …]
He had felt the tremors under his feet. Many of the weapons that had been placed on the ground had been shaken, and had been sent flying. Then, they had fallen down.
Fortunately, this Heaven Splitting Mountain Pass was extremely sturdy. This kind of vibration simply couldn't shake its iron foundation. Therefore, it was able to survive.
However, one of the city walls inside had collapsed. Fortunately, it was towards his own country. Otherwise, it would be over.
Wu Kuang Yun prayed in his heart. He rejoiced, and then gloated, [Kill those bastards!] Kill them all …
Thousands of boulders smashed down. If it was a normal siege, such rolling boulders wouldn't cause much damage. But … how could it be the same as being thrown down from the top of the city walls when it was eight thousand meters in the air?
If one had to make a comparison, it could only be said that one was an elephant, and the other was the hair on the elephant's leg …
Finally, the thousands of rocks were smashed into the ground. Only then did the surrounding mountains stop shaking. Everyone's ears were still ringing, but in reality, the sound had already stopped.
Millions of people lost their hearing at once!
The people who were still alive could only see each other's mouths opening and closing. But, they couldn't hear what each other was saying.
The three Tiger Generals came out of their tents with pale faces. Their eyes were full of fear. Their mouths were open, and their eyes were blank. They were still baffled as to why such a thing had happened.
They shook their heads with all their strength, and patted their ears. They washed their faces with cold water, and poured water into their stomachs. After a while, they could barely hear a little bit of sound. They looked all the way out, and saw that most of the soldiers had two lines of blood hanging from their ears. Apparently, their eardrums had been damaged by the huge tremors. In fact, many of them had become deaf …
"What's going on? What's going on? " The Golden Tiger General Jin Nankai roared. His complexion was ferocious. But, everyone around him was staring at his mouth. So, no one could hear him.
"Don't be impatient." The Silver Tiger General Long Ao patted Jin Nankai's shoulder. His complexion was very ugly.
After a while, earth-shattering screams and cries were heard from the slanting valley. The sound spread for miles.
"It must be the enemy's surprise attack!" Yu Cheng Long shook his head. He still felt uncomfortable in his ears. There seemed to be a rumbling sound inside. Otherwise, it seemed as if ten thousand cicadas were desperately crying inside. But, he could finally hear the sound …
"Let's go and take a look." The three of them looked at each other. They felt that something was wrong. They summoned their personal guards, and mounted their horses. Then, they went towards the place where the cries were the most tragic …
They galloped their horses for twenty miles. Then, they finally saw the scene of hell on earth. The three of them had been on the battlefield for a long time. Moreover, each of them was a desperado. So, what kind of tragic scene hadn't they seen?
But, their complexions couldn't help but change when they saw the tragic scene in front of them. Their bodies swayed, and they felt as if they were about to fall from their horses.
They saw the slanting valley in front of them. The big stones had been dyed red. They quietly stayed on the ground, not moving at all.
There was blood and flesh all along the way. Broken limbs and body parts were everywhere. Looking around, there was not a single complete corpse to be found in the empty slanting valley!
Even the walls on both sides of the valley were stained with blood and flesh. Even the walls of the valley were hundreds of feet high. They were dripping with blood. The red was blood, and the white was brain matter. They were everywhere …
Some injured soldiers were lying there not far from the three of them. Their muscles and bones were broken. Their bodies were covered in blood. The luckiest one among these people had a broken arm.
Their lives would've been lost if they had been grazed by those crazily flying big stones. The injured ones had only been 'lightly' grazed by the 'edge' of the stones …
"This … this section … how many people are there?" Jin Nan Kai looked at the inhumane scene in front of him. He asked in a trembling voice.
No one answered. Everyone was somewhat stupefied. They numbly looked at the scene in front of them. Their hearts were bleeding.
"Go and take a look," Long Ao ordered in a low voice.
Then, someone resisted the urge to vomit. He turned over and mounted his horse. The warhorse didn't listen to him. It opened its frightened eyes, and shook its head. Its body shrank back little by little. It wouldn't rush forward no matter what was said.
In the end, he had to get on the horse of one of Jin Nankai's bodyguards, and rush out. The sound of the horse's hoofs gradually faded away. Jin Nan Kai, Long Ao, and the other two frowned. They listened to the sound of the horse's hoofs coming from the slanting valley. It seemed as if they were walking on a silent road. Their complexions couldn't help but become more and more unsightly.
They waited until the sound of the horse's hoofs had almost disappeared. After a while, the sound of the horse's hoofs was heard again. It was obvious that the horse had returned.
"There's no one for seven or eight miles," Yu Cheng Long's face was calm as he said in a low voice. He didn't wait for anyone to return. He had only heard the sound of the horse's hoofs.
The complexions of the other two changed. They had become miserable.
Seven to eight li, considering the density of the soldiers just now, how many soldiers could this slanting valley, which was twenty to thirty zhang wide, hold?
They didn't dare to say more than ten thousand people.
In other words, at least ten thousand people had died in this sudden incident.
However, all of this was still inexplicable. No one knew why this had happened. They only knew that these stones had rolled down the steep slope of the mountain.
They raised their heads, and looked at the precipitous cliff above their heads. They couldn't see anything. They could only see clouds and mist above them …
"Look at these stones," Long Ao reminded.
"Yes." The three men turned around. Someone had already wiped a stone clean. Then, they carried it over. This stone had been knocked down all the way. So, its volume had become a lot smaller. There were traces of bumps and collisions everywhere.
Three big stones were carried over. The three men surrounded them, and carefully examined them.
"What's going on? This stone seems to have been cut by someone. The size of each stone is so uniform … "Jin Nan Kai said in shock.
"It's impossible, right?" The two men sized up the stones over and over again. Then, they were shocked. They finally admitted this fact, "Could it be that the enemy had set up an ambush on this mountaintop? Is this a rolling stone? "
"This is absolutely impossible!" Jin Nan Kai had been to Iron Cloud before. He flatly rejected this idea, "It's difficult for birds to fly around these mountain peaks. Not to mention a human, even an ape would probably fall to its death if it tried to climb up! Only a King Level Expert could go up there. Or even higher! "
"But, why would such a person make things difficult for us if he was really such a person?" Long Ao said disapprovingly.
"Perhaps … it's just a fight between immortals, and mortals suffer a calamity … or perhaps there was a section of the cliff above. So, it's possible that it had suddenly collapsed. After all, these mountains have existed for tens of thousands of years … "Jin Nan Kai stared at the illusory clouds and mist above his head. He sighed and said," Put these stones aside. Nothing should fall down. "
He sighed after he finished speaking. Then, he turned around and walked back.
[Yes, it's impossible for a large number of soldiers to be on the mountaintop. It must've been a battle between experts. And, it's over now. So, nothing should've fallen down.] Even if it was a landslide, there was no reason for it to happen one after another …
[What's an expert? An expert wouldn't be childish enough to throw stones for fun.] Tiger General Jin was very confident that his decision was correct. Moreover, these stones would've split the army into two halves if they had been left here. War? What's the point of fighting?
The three men were in low spirits. They didn't speak much on the way back. However, they were praying in their hearts, [Please don't let this happen again …]
Chu Yang and the two shadows were squatting on the ground and gasping for breath on the mountaintop. Even a King Level Expert would've been paralyzed by exhaustion after continuous high-intensity labor.
The three men had dug out a big hole at the bottom of the mountaintop in the last two hours.
