Chapter 432: Is There Such a Thing in the World?
Now, Chu Yang was traveling through the mountains and forests, with a fleeing army of nearly fifteen thousand people behind him! Along the way, they had been chased and exhausted, everyone was worn out!
As they twisted and turned between the mountains and forests, they had finally reached a point where they could barely hold on!
The elite of Iron Cloud were all familiar with the terrain, and the rounds they had taken made the people of the Golden Horse Knights Hall cry out in misery.
Chu Yang had been avoiding water sources throughout the journey. They rushed wherever it was dry and devoid of mountain springs; in such hot weather, everyone was sweating profusely, even Cheng Ziang and others behind him were drenched in white sweat, gasping for breath.
Chu Yang silently calculated that every member of his team was equipped with two water bottles, but they had run out of water for four hours! Almost everyone had reached their limit, and the Golden Horse Knights Hall was likely not faring much better.
Suddenly, a long whistle sounded as they reached another fork in the path, and he galloped forward.
The army behind followed in a rush, making a sharp turn into the side path.
Just a stone's throw away, Jing Menghun's eyes turned red as he shouted, "They are finished! Chase them down and leave none behind!" Along the way, Jing Menghun had almost been scolded to death by Chu Yang, his stomach already boiling with anger.
The people of the Golden Horse Knights Hall were also parched, most of them with chapped lips and cracked skin.
Hearing this, everyone perked up and followed the Iron Cloud cavalry like a whirlwind, charging into the fork. It was evident that the cavalry ahead was indeed in dire straits. Once they caught up, it would be a slaughter!
Throughout this journey, everyone was filled with rage, finally reaching a moment of revenge.
On the mountain path, Chu Yang was leading the way, glancing back to see the expression on Jing Menghun and the others, feeling a sense of accomplishment!
Without hesitation, he took another turn, heading straight for the small lake transformed by the lust serpent core.
Along the way, some people had already fallen off their horses, unable to endure the thirst…
"Speed up! Speed up!" Chu Yang shouted, "Ahead is a water source!"
As soon as this sentence was uttered, everyone felt a surge of energy, gritting their teeth and leaning forward on their horses.
"There’s a water source ahead?" Jing Menghun perked up. After a whole day of chasing in such hot weather, how could the water bottles hold up under this consumption? They were already completely empty. Even Jing Menghun could hardly bear the thirst.
"Everyone, hurry! There’s a water source ahead!" Jing Menghun shouted as well. Suddenly, everyone felt revitalized.
Chu Yang led his large group past the water pond in a whirlwind, secretly ordering everyone not to drink; he only sent a few horses to gallop in the pool to stir up the murkiness before mounting and riding away.
When Jing Menghun arrived, he saw the water surface in the pond still rippling, with a few lumps of horse dung floating on it, and couldn’t help but feel furious, his eyes turning red.
But now, they were parched to a certain degree; if they didn’t drink, they would truly die of thirst.
"Pull those filthy things out, and everyone grab some time to fill a bottle with water!" Jing Menghun was so angry he nearly spat blood. Although it was dirty, they still had to drink!
However, the army behind had none of his qualms. So what if there was floating horse dung? It was still water! Right now, water was a lifesaver!
Everyone surged forward, drinking their fill and refilling their water bottles, feeling their strength return. After drinking, they also led their horses to the pond's edge to drink.
Jing Menghun sat on his horse, sulking, while his deputy silently offered him a bottle of water.
Jing Menghun sighed, "I never expected that as a dignified Ninth Grade Throne, I would suffer such humiliation today! I swear I won’t rest until I avenge this!"
