Chapter 1117: Chapter 940, Xiao Yechi Dies
Xiao Yeyang had not long been chasing Xiao Yechi into the Death Swamp when a cry of alarm ca from behind him. Turning around, he saw two cavalryn, along with their horses, sinking into the swamp.
At this mont, both the horses and the n were sinking into the swamp at a visible speed.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang’s expression changed and he imdiately ordered the troop to stop. He told the two n sinking into the swamp not to move around, then took out so ropes, exerted a lot of effort, and pulled the n out.
Due to their struggles, the two horses had completely sunk into the swamp and were no longer visible.
“There’s sothing wrong with this place!”
Xiao Yeyang took out his binoculars to observe the surroundings and noticed that the area they were in was dotted with puddles, it was unclear if any of these puddles were actually part of the swamp.
Suddenly, a cavalryman seed to realize sothing, his face turning pale, and he shakily said to Xiao Yeyang, “Sir, I think I know where we are.”
Xiao Yeyang quickly asked, “Where?”
The fear on the cavalryman’s face was evident: “This might be the infamous Death Swamp of Xiliao.”
At this revelation, many of the cavalryn present changed their expressions.
The Death Swamp of Xiliao was notorious among the people on the frontier, known for being a place where one could enter but never return.
Sensing the panic among the n, Xiao Yeyang frowned and spoke loudly, “It’s just a swamp, can it really trap people?”
He hesitated for a mont but ultimately put the lives of his cavalryn first.
“Alright, we will not pursue Xiao Yechi any further; let’s turn back now. We haven’t ventured deep into the swamp; we should be able to get back quickly.”
Hearing this, the cavalryn breathed a sigh of relief.
However, half an hour later, Xiao Yeyang’s brow was deeply furrowed. The others might not have noticed, but he realized that they seed to be lost in the swamp.
What was going on?
He rembered that they had been retracing their steps exactly.
Initially, only Xiao Yeyang noticed that sothing was amiss, but as ti passed, the cavalryn also realized they were trapped in the Death Swamp.
Out of trust and respect for Xiao Yeyang, the cavalryn suppressed their fear and carefully searched for a way out.
The sun rose in the east and set in the west, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.
In the Death Swamp, they had to overco not only their psychological fears but also endure hunger and cold.
Thankfully, Xiao Yeyang was generous with his silver; the cavalryn had the best rations in the entire camp, eating at daily and able to drink milk, keeping their bodies strong.
Thus, the cavalryn were able to hold on.
Another horse was killed for food; the leader of the cavalry handed Xiao Yeyang the cooked horse at.
Xiao Yeyang took it and ate without complaining about the lack of salt or flavor.
The cavalry leader anxiously said, “Sir, we can’t hold out much longer this way!”
There were a hundred cavalryn who had co with Xiao Yeyang, and even though they still had horses to eat, the severe temperature differences between day and night in the Death Swamp would wear down even the healthiest body over ti.
Xiao Yeyang continued eating the horse at, and after finishing, he spoke firmly, “We must find a way out; we will prevail!” Yiyi and his son were still waiting at ho for his return!
Saying this, Xiao Yeyang looked at the sky: “While the sun is still up, everyone eat quickly, and then let’s continue searching for a way out.”
Three days later, Xiao Yeyang and his group had not found a way out of the swamp, but they had run into Xiao Yechi and his people.
At this mont, Xiao Yechi was extrely disheveled, and only a few people were left by his side, without even a horse.
Many of Xiao Yechi’s n had either sunk in the swamp and died; or were bitten by mosquitoes in the swamp, leading to infected, feverous wounds and death; or could not endure the cold of the night and froze to death…
Seeing Xiao Yeyang, Xiao Yechi suddenly burst into laughter: “Xiao Yeyang, you’ve t your day too!”
Xiao Yeyang looked coldly at Xiao Yechi, his expression one of disdain: “You really are as foolish as your father, conspiring with foreign tribes to deal with Daxia, but in the end, you dood yourself.”
“You lured into this Death Swamp and now you can’t escape either, sacrificing your own life to fulfill Yelu Kangda’s wishes, I really don’t know what’s in your head.”
Xiao Yechi’s eyes suddenly turned blood-red.
Yelu Kangda had deceived him, claiming to have found guides for him, but those guides couldn’t even discern directions once they arrived and even attempted to push him into the swamp midway.
In a fit of rage, he slaughtered all those n.
Where would Xiao Yechi show weakness in front of Xiao Yeyang, he sneered: “If I can’t live, neither can you, having you accompany in death is enough for .”
Xiao Yeyang shook his head: “You’re wrong, you will die, but I won’t.”
Xiao Yechi suddenly laughed: “Xiao Yeyang, it turns out you’re also afraid of death, even starting to talk nonsense to deceive yourself.”
Xiao Yeyang couldn’t be bothered to argue with him; since they had encountered each other, he couldn’t let Xiao Yechi go. Glancing at the cavalry captain, a group of cavalry imdiately surrounded Xiao Yechi and his n.
Xiao Yechi knew that Xiao Yeyang wouldn’t let him go, so taking advantage of his n holding off the cavalry, he directly charged towards Xiao Yeyang.
Yes, he didn’t run away, but chose to attack Xiao Yeyang!
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang did not dodge but directly fought with Xiao Yechi.
During the fight, Xiao Yeyang kicked Xiao Yechi away, and the spot where Xiao Yechi fell was precisely a swamp.
Xiao Yechi fell into the swamp, initially struggling frantically, but gradually, he stopped, letting his body sink further down, watching Xiao Yeyang with a face full of unwillingness.
Until completely subrged in the swamp, he did not cry out to Xiao Yeyang for help.
Xiao Yeyang watched as Xiao Yechi disappeared from his sight, feeling very little turmoil inside.
At this ti, the cavalry had also dealt with Xiao Yechi’s n.
Xiao Yeyang said: “Let’s go, continue looking for a way out!”
…
Xinxi Town.
Bu Gandang took the Hidden Guard to search for Xiao Yeyang and others a few tis, but unfortunately, they found nothing until today when they caught Yelu Kang’s trusted aide and forced out the information that Xiao Yeyang had been lured into Death Swamp by Xiao Yechi.
Bu Gandang didn’t trust others and sought out Su Hongxin.
“My master has entered Death Swamp, I need to take people to find him. Mister Su, please take care of things here at the camp.”
Having said that, he turned to leave.
Su Hongxin quickly held him back: “Don’t be hasty, even if you need to search for people, preparations must be made.” He had heard of Death Swamp, which was known for allowing entry but no exit.
Su Hongxin paced anxiously in the tent: “No, we must inform Ganzhou City about this, ask Sister Yan and the others for their opinions.”
Bu Gandang hesitated. “Is that necessary?”
Su Hongxin glared: “Of course it’s necessary!” Saying so, he sent a Carrier Pigeon ssage to Daohua.
That night, as Daohua was putting her son to sleep, she saw the Hidden Guard co with a desperate look holding a ssage.
Daohua knew the Hidden Guard wouldn’t co without reason, so she handed Daozi to Guyu and walked up to the Hidden Guard: “What happened?”
The Hidden Guard handed the paper brought by the carrier pigeon to Daohua.
After reading, Daohua’s expression changed dramatically.
Xiao Yeyang had gone to pursue Xiao Yechi, and it’s been half a month since he returned!
Daohua staggered slightly, and after a brief mont of thought, she ran towards the courtyard where Guo Ruoi and Chu Lang lived.
“Mother, Uncle Chu!”
Seeing Daohua arriving late at night, both Guo Ruoi and Chu Lang were sowhat astonished.
“Yan girl, what’s the matter?”
Daohua looked at Chu Lang: “Uncle Chu, Xiao Yeyang is in trouble.”
