Chapter 286

"Why is the official road ahead gone!"

"Where did that big mountain come from? Why is it blocking our way back?"

"What kind of situation is this?"

"Could it be that we went the wrong way?"

"No, right? We clearly returned the same way, and the route on the map is also like this."

"And even if there are fork roads, it is impossible for the road to be cut off by a big mountain!"

"Could it be... we really bumped into a ghost?"

"!!!"

It was not an illusion. When all units returned the same way and walked for less than an hour, a big mountain appeared in front of them out of thin air.

Blocking the road ahead.

If a few people encountered this situation, they might think they had taken the wrong fork, left the official road, and walked to some wilderness.

But here, including the equipment unit, there were more than a hundred thousand people, and they remembered clearly that they were definitely returning the same way and it was impossible to take the wrong fork and leave the official road.

Moreover, more than a hundred thousand people, if they didn't take the official road, ordinary small roads couldn't accommodate so many of them at all.

And 30 even if there was a similar terrain nearby, it was impossible to have an identical official road, right?

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of various units who were already a bit scared in their hearts became completely panicked.

Even the special troop Blood Crimson Cavalry under Su Li began to show commotion.

After all, this situation was too weird.

Moving forward, they couldn't get close to Julu City.

Moving backward, a big mountain spanning dozens of miles blocked the way back.

The destination could not be reached, and the way back disappeared.

This was like falling into a dead end, how could it not make people panic.

Even Su Li, knowing that this might be a spell released by the enemy, couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.

In broad daylight, but it felt like the feeling of no one surviving in a novel.

Ju Shou also frowned tightly, obviously encountering this situation for the first time.

The road ahead was bleak, and the way back disappeared; this weirdness was unheard of.

"Could it be a blinding technique?"

Ju Shou's gaze narrowed slightly, and then the next moment his fingers flashed, he waved his hand, and a mysterious light sprinkled toward the big mountain blocking the road in front of him.

"Secret Technique: Parting the Clouds to See the Sun!"

This is a secret technique mastered by Ju Shou, which can be considered a type of strategist technique, which can break the blinding technique and clear the fog.

But the next moment.

The mysterious light fell on that big mountain, and it didn't cause any waves.

The mountain was still that mountain, real and majestic, spanning there.

"It's actually not a blinding technique."

"What kind of spell is it that can directly change the terrain and put a big mountain here out of thin air."

Ju Shou's heart was shocked.

It was the first time he had seen such a powerful technique, one that could actually alter the terrain and completely defy common sense.

Could it be...

Is this the great power brought by the Earth Scroll of the Heavenly Book Taiping Essential Arts mastered by Zhang Bao?

Ju Shou was not stupid. Under the rapid turn of his thoughts, he quickly got the answer.

But the answer was the answer, and he was also confused about how to crack the current predicament.

However...

Ju Shou was a famous scholar in Jizhou after all. Even if he encountered such a predicament, he didn't lose his sense of proportion and immediately suggested: "Generals, I suggest, first divide a part of the troops to explore the surroundings."

"The rest of the people, collect firewood, cook on the spot, set up camp, and rest for a night, how about it?"

Marching back and forth also took half a day, and the physical strength of all units was consumed a lot.

Even if they were in a predicament, they couldn't attack Julu City today.

So this is the plan now.

Only by setting up camp first, and then dividing a part of the troops to explore the surroundings, can we see if we can find a way out.

Otherwise, if we continue to walk, God knows what weird things will happen.

However...

Did the matter end here?

Of course not!

Stopping to set up camp and cooking didn't cause any more accidents.

However, the scouts sent out by Ju Shou this time disappeared after they left everyone's sight, and they lost contact directly, with no news, and never came back.

Not only that.

As long as someone left the sight of the main force, they would suddenly disappear, as if they were swallowed by something.

Added with the sky getting late, the sun slowly set.

As night approached, fear immediately began to spread on everyone.

However, when night came and the stars in the sky appeared.

Ju Shou discovered something unusual.

He called everyone together and observed the star phase in the sky, "Generals, appreciate this starry sky, can you find anything different?"

Scholars are like this; clearly they discovered something, but they have to sell a pass and play mystery.

Including Su Li, Pan Feng, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and even the Changshan Garrison Commander Deng Song were all of the general type.

Their own intelligence attributes were all very poor.

Maybe Liu Bei and Guan Yu were a little higher, but they definitely couldn't be that high.

This group of people gathered together, where could they see anything? I guess they could only see that the sky was very beautiful, like the starry sky in summer, with stars dotted.

"Strategist Ju, it's already burning eyebrows now, and you still call us to appreciate the starry sky. Can we find any name in it? At most, there are just more stars in the sky."

Pan Feng was made a bit anxious by Ju Shou, so anxious that he burst out his hometown dialect.

Originally, they had already fallen into a predicament, and the soldiers under his command began to feel panic, which brought great pressure to him as the main general.

Now Ju Shou still called them to appreciate the starry sky; isn't this full and bored, making things happen?

"Mr. Ju, did you discover anything? Please tell us directly."

Liu Bei was also confused and quickly arched his hands and asked.

This kind of weird predicament was the first time he had encountered it in his life, and he had a very powerless feeling, not knowing what to do at all.

So he could only entrust everything to Ju Shou, this famous scholar in Jizhou.

Otherwise, if it continues like this, I am afraid that they will really fail before they succeed.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were the same; it was fine to let them kill the enemy on the battlefield.

Facing this kind of spell of the alchemist, it was really like punching on cotton, and it couldn't play any role at all.

They could only hang aside.

Facing Liu Bei's question, Ju Shou just shook his head slightly and didn't speak immediately, but looked at Su Li and continued to sell the pass.

Su Li's face narrowed.

To be honest, he could only see that there were many stars in the sky, like the stars in summer.

Wait...

800 stars in summer?!!

It seems that it is already autumn now, and it is not far from winter, so why are there so many stars in the sky?

Su Li instantly realized something, his eyes flashed, and looking at Ju Shou, he tentatively said: "Mr. Ju, are you trying to say that there are abnormally many stars in the sky? Not like the weather today?"

"Exactly! Lord Su observes carefully!"

Ju Shou finally nodded and started to say: "Now that it is approaching winter, it is impossible for so many stars to appear in the sky."

"And you pay attention to look, those stars seem to be disorganized, densely covered everywhere, like stars dotted."

"But in fact, they are arranged regularly. For example, that star phase in the middle, does it look like the terrain where we are?"

After such a reminder.

Su Li and others looked, and it was like being enlightened, their eyes wide open. ===== CHAPTER 289 =====
