The Soul of the Spear felt uneasy. He knew that he was being watched, but he didn't want to divide his forces. Even if he wanted to divide his forces, he wouldn't divide too many people. At least 20 people would be guarding the carriage. Moreover, the people who were divided wouldn't be too far away from the carriage. This way, they would be able to provide support if something unexpected happened.
Although he still felt uneasy, the Soul of the Spear knew that he had done everything he could. After all, they were now in the Saber Spirit Country, and the people who wanted to deal with them this time were from the Saber Spirit Country. Fortunately, they were now heading towards Misty Mountain City. He believed that as long as they arrived there, they would be safe.
After thinking about this, the Soul of the Spear couldn't help but look up at the sky. It was already quite late. They hadn't rested for a long time, so it was time for them to rest. Even if they could bear it, the horses pulling the carriage couldn't. Therefore, rest was a must.
After calculating the distance, the Soul of the Spear turned to the Soul of the Beast next to him and said, "Mouse, you lead ten people to explore the road ahead. Focus on the Rockwind Mound. We'll rest there tonight."
The Soul of the Beast called Mouse was a mouse. At the same time, he was also the scout of the team. The mouse that was controlled by Little Crane Grass and the others was controlled by him.
Mouse nodded and then led the ten people forward. They knew very well where the Rockwind Mound was. It was a special place on the road. There weren't many plants around it. On the contrary, there were a lot of rocks, which was how it got its name.
The Soul of the Spear and the others weren't far from the Rockwind Mound. After a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the Rockwind Mound. The terrain here was very strange. It was a small mound, but it was surrounded by rocks. There were only some grasses growing in the cracks of the rocks.
However, it seems like there were people who often cultivated here. The Soul of the Spear and the others were going to rest here tonight.
They unloaded the horses from the carriage and tied them to a rock on the side. Under the rock, there was some grass for the horses to graze.
The Spear Soul looked around, then turned to the remaining plant masters and said, "Set up a warning line on the surrounding plants. We must be on high alert."
The plant masters immediately responded and began to set up the guards. After a while, all the guards were set up. The Soul Spear let out a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "Divide into five teams, each team has ten people. Take turns to be on night duty while the rest rest."
Everyone agreed and immediately began to eat and rest. They were not afraid of being discovered by Little Crane Grass and the others, so they started a fire and began to cook. Although they only made some hot soup, it was much better than eating cold food.
At this time, Little Crane Grass and the others could only eat dried rations and wild fruits a few miles away from them. These dried rations were not military rations, but pancakes baked by the people of the Shi Family Village for Little Crane Grass. Little Crane Grass was not willing to take out these things when they had a meal before, because he knew that these pancakes would be their only staple food for the next few days, so he had to eat sparingly.
After eating, Little Crane Grass and the others found a place to rest. Not long after they laid down, a rustling sound was heard. Liu Yuangong and the others immediately jumped up. Only Little Crane Grass didn't move. Before long, a 30 centimeter long centipede-like thing crawled from the grass towards Little Crane Grass. This thing was a miniature version of the Iron Thread Grass.
Little Crane Grass gave the Wild Love Grass to the Iron Thread Grass. The Iron Thread Grass' body grew a little longer. Then it wrapped around the Wild Love Grass and ran towards the direction of the Rockwind Mound, disappearing in a blink of an eye.
When Liu Yuangong and the others saw this, they couldn't help but be amazed. Wu Fei said, "I didn't think that a Plant Master would be able to do this. I thought that only Beast Soul Masters could do this. But now, it seems that it's different. To be able to do this much, it's amazing."
Little Crane Grass smiled faintly and said in a deep voice, "There aren't many plant masters who can do this. After all, there aren't many demonic plant masters in the Soul World, and there are even fewer plant masters who can subdue demonic plants."
Liu Yuangong and the others nodded. Then Liu Yuangong turned his head towards the direction of the Rockwind Mound and said, "I really want to see what will happen there tonight."
Little Crane Grass smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry. Although we're quite a distance away from them, there's still a lot of noise tonight. We should be able to hear some things from here. Let's get rid of their horses first and then see if there's an opportunity. If there's an opportunity, we'll deal with the Plant Masters as well as the Soul Beasts. With these people around, it wouldn't be easy for us to deal with them." Little Crane Grass smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry.
Liu Yuangong said, "Don't worry, we just need to entangle them. Don't underestimate the Empire's reaction speed. As long as we can entangle them and prevent them from entering Fog Mountain City, then we'll win."
Little Crane Grass nodded and didn't say anything else. This was the first time he was involved in this kind of battle. There were still a lot of things he needed to learn. Although he was very calm when something happened, he still had too little experience. He needed to learn from Liu Yuangong and the others.
The group didn't say anything as well. They needed to take a good rest. Today, they were fighting and tracking, so they were very tired. Now was the time to take a good rest.
Time passed by little by little. Around 9 o 'clock in the evening, Little Crane Grass and the others suddenly heard some noises. They immediately jumped up and looked towards the direction of the Rockwind Mound. The Rockwind Mound was very noisy, mixed with the sound of horses neighing. The neighing of the horses was very loud, it didn't sound like ordinary horses at all. This made Liu Yuangong and the others happy.
After some time, the noises from the Rockwind Mound slowly disappeared. Little Crane Grass closed his eyes and sensed the Rockwind Mound's situation through the Iron Thread Grass. There were no horses in the Rockwind Mound, or it could be said that there were no horses left. Five carriages, fifteen horses, and the horses that the Spear Soul rode weren't small in number. But now, in addition to a dozen dead horses, there were no horses left, all the other horses had run away.
Upon seeing this, Little Crane Grass couldn't help but be happy. He knew that he won. Now that the Spear Soul's group had lost their horses, their speed would naturally decrease. When the time comes, it would be much easier to deal with them.
Little Crane Grass slowly opened his eyes, then he turned his head to look at Liu Yuangong and the others. Then he smiled faintly and said, "Everyone can have a good night's sleep. They have no horses to use now."
Upon hearing Little Crane Grass, Liu Yuangong and the others were happy. Liu Yuangong then said, "Good, very good. Now that they have no horses to use, we can entangle them. I want to see how they will die this time. Wu Fei, is there any news from home?"
Wu Fei shook his head and said, "Not yet, but I think it will be soon. My family should have already received the letter. They will make arrangements very soon. You don't need to worry."
Liu Yuangong nodded, then he looked at the sky and said, "Alright, everyone should take a good rest. Tomorrow, we'll think of a way to deal with them. Little Crane Grass, you don't need to do anything. They will certainly strengthen their vigilance tonight. If they find the Iron Thread Grass, then it will be even more troublesome. The other party seems to be a veteran, it's impossible for them to not recognize the Iron Thread Grass. You better not act recklessly."
Little Crane Grass nodded and said, "Uncle Liu, don't worry. I know, I won't act recklessly." Liu Yuangong nodded, then he went to rest with the others. Little Crane Grass was also like Liu Yuangong and the others, he also found a place to rest. What he needed to do today was already done. The rest will be left for tomorrow.
At this moment, the Spear Soul's expression didn't look too good. He looked at the dead horses on the ground and his expression was very ugly. He turned to the five plant masters and said, "Did you find out the reason? Why did the horses suddenly go crazy? What's going on? Did someone poison them? "
The Plant Masters observed the dead horses. After looking at them, they shook their heads at the same time. Then one of the Plant Masters turned to the Spear Soul and said, "Captain, I'm sure that these horses weren't poisoned by plants. As for whether they were poisoned by animals, it's hard to say. We don't know much about animal poisons."
Upon hearing this, the Soul of the Spear turned his head to look at Rat. Rat also had some knowledge about poisons, but he was the opposite of the Plant Master. He was most proficient in animal poisons, but he didn't know much about plant poisons. He carefully observed the horses and finally said to the Soul of the Spear, "Captain, these horses don't seem to be poisoned by animals. On the contrary, according to my understanding of animals, they seem to be in heat, which is why they are like this."
The Spear Soul stared, then he asked, "Heat? How is that possible? Although some of these horses weren't castrated, many of them were. How can these horses be in heat? "
Rat replied, "Captain, they are indeed in heat. Look at the eyes of these horses. Before they died, their eyes were bloodshot. Moreover, they looked very manic. There's no mistake, these are the signs of horses going into heat."
The Spear Soul turned to the plant masters and said, "Look around and see if there's anything that can make these horses go into estrus after eating it. Is there something here that can make these horses go into estrus after eating it?"
The Plant Masters nodded, then they looked around and didn't find anything special. Then they carefully looked at the place where the horses were and finally found some red roots. These roots looked like grass roots, but their color was different. The Plant Masters carefully looked at the grass roots. In the end, they came to the conclusion that the grass roots were naturally like this, it wasn't poisoned by someone.
A plant master took the roots to the Spear Soul and handed them to him, "Captain, according to our observation, it might be this thing that made the horses go crazy. Although we haven't seen it before, we can be sure that it's a kind of herb that hasn't been discovered yet. We suggest that we keep these roots and test it on a horse when we go back." The Spear Soul nodded and said, "The Spear Soul didn't know what it was, but it's a kind of herb that hasn't been discovered yet.
