Chapter 618 Another Sky

  It's the middle of summer, and the heat is unbearable. Even the wind that blows against your face carries a few degrees of fiery air. The soldiers wearing heavy armor are all drenched in sweat, as if they had just crawled out of a river. They can't take off their armor; it's not like they're bandits, but a regular army. If they took off their armor, what would they become? Not only can't they take it off, but the soldiers have to wear even more clothes because the armor has become scorching hot under the direct sunlight. If they don't want to be roasted, they can only protect themselves with thick clothing.

  Seeing soldiers fainting in the queue from time to time, Leizhe looks a bit anxious. Yesterday, Langning suddenly asked him to lead the main force westward, while Langning himself stayed in Neurenberg with two cavalry teams and would not be able to catch up with him until at least three days later. Guevara is by his side, but he can't ask for others' opinions on everything, now he has to make decisions on his own.

  "General Shao, we can't go on," a knight whispered in Leze's ear. "If we keep going, the soldiers will collapse."

  "After passing the mountain in front, the whole army stopped to rest!" Lei Zhe gave the order.

  Lei Zhe's command was passed from the center of the team to the front and back, and the exhausted soldiers almost cheered, but at this moment, the cavalry team walking in the front suddenly became chaotic, with people shouting and horses neighing. If no one blew the alarm horn, Lei Zhe would have ordered the soldiers to form a battle formation. He didn't dare to be careless and hurriedly led dozens of knights to rush forward.

  Lang Ning had been leading the troops without any mistakes, and just as he took over, if something like this happened and caused losses to the army, it would be too embarrassing for him.

  Always rushing up the mountain, Lei Zhe was just about to ask when a particularly foul smell suddenly came over him. He dared to swear that he had never smelled such a stench in his life. Just taking a small breath made his insides feel like they were churning over, and his eyes were also dimming. Lei Zhe quickly covered his nose, and then heard a man's angry shout: "Put it down! All of you put it down! What are you doing?!"

  The commander of the Third Cavalry Regiment, Paul, was furious and stomping his feet. With Lang Ning gone, Lei Zhe let him take charge of the vanguard, and Paul thought it was finally his time to shine. But who knew that his subordinates were so uncooperative? They had been complaining about the heat just a moment ago, and now they were mysteriously covering their noses and refusing to move, their faces ashen as if they had seen something terrifying.

  "General! It's too smelly!" A knight who had just been whipped on the head couldn't help but complain.

  "What did you say?" Paul shouted.

  "General, I wasn't referring to you." The knight, frightened, hastily explained: "I meant the air here is too foul."

  "Fart! How come I didn't smell it..."

  "General, this is not farting! Absolutely not farting!!" Several knights cried out in unison: "Farting can't be so smelly!"

  Paul was taken aback and turned to ask his personal bodyguards: "Do you smell that?"

  Those seven or eight imperial guards looked at each other, shook their heads, and their expressions didn't seem to be fake, while the faces of those who smelled the stench all turned very unsightly.

  Paul's eyes were almost popping out of his head, his personal guard would never deceive him, so who was lying?

  Just as Paul was about to blow his top, a voice came over and immediately extinguished his anger: "Paul, haven't you smelled the stench?"

  "General! You... you smell something foul?" Paul asked in surprise.

  "Can't you really smell it?" Leizhe's expression was even more astonished than Paul's.

  "But none of us can smell it."

  Leizhe also became somewhat uncertain, he turned around and asked the knights who were following closely behind him: "Do you smell a stench?"

  Those knights all nodded in unison, and one of them, to verify again, loosened his nose, took a deep breath, and finally couldn't control the feeling of turning over, and vomited with a wow.

  Vomiting and yawning are equally contagious, the rest of the knights were already struggling to control themselves, seeing him vomit, at that moment more than a dozen knights lost control, and the sound of vomiting rose and fell instantly.

  A giant turtle rushed up from the foot of the mountain, Han Jin and others didn't want to walk with the soldiers together, it was too noisy. However, they found something was wrong in the distance and hurried over at their fastest speed.

  "It smells so bad......" Mo Xinkai's loud voice echoed throughout the room: "Who? Who farted?"

  "It's definitely you!" Sasori glared at Mōsuku with contempt: "You've already used this trick last time, who do you think you can deceive?"

  "Nonsense! I..." Mo Xinke originally wanted to argue with Sasou, but during the time he was speaking, Jutu had already run up the mountain. Mo Xinke only felt his chest was about to explode, and hurriedly covered his nose tightly.

  Sasou and others were about the same, Xian Ni'er couldn't help but let out a hum, Qili's face changed drastically, that smell was so pungent it was hard to imagine! Han Jin's expression looked very solemn, he clearly sensed that there was something abnormal ahead! If described in Taoist terms, it would be "evil energy soaring into the sky"!

  "It's Titan Arum." Guevara's voice came into everyone's ears: "Also known as the flower of hell, it emits a strong corpse smell, but strangely, if you collect the pollen of Titan Arum and dilute it, you can make a mysterious perfume that is very popular among various races."

  "What did you say? Corpse stench?" Mo Xing Ke shouted.

  "What did you say? Perfume?" Keli also cried out.

  Mo Xinkē was suffering from a big mouthful of stench, while Qǐlì was thinking about whether she should throw away all her perfume.

  Guevara didn't respond, quietly gazing down the mountain. It was then that everyone saw it - far away, there were patches of something resembling giant mushrooms, but everyone had been drawn in by the stench and hadn't noticed the scenery over there. Even if they had noticed, they wouldn't have thought that the smell could be spreading from such a distant place.

  The infantry of the torrential legion also approached the hill, and the first squadron leader suddenly sniffed something, took a deep breath, and exclaimed in surprise and delight: "What scent? So fragrant..."

  Everyone turned their gaze, this remark was really too outrageous! Almost everyone was suffering from the smell, and someone actually came out to praise the stench, of course, they would become the target of public criticism.

  Guevara also turned around, even the Deep Ones couldn't stand the smell of Titan Arum, he had never heard of it before, and yet there were people who actually liked Titan Arum!

  The squad leader was startled and took a few steps back, muttering: "G-great... sir, what's wrong?"

  The infantrymen behind the squad leader all rushed over, their expressions varied, some covered their noses and shouted that it was too smelly, while others showed a look of intoxication and sniffed constantly, but the latter were not many, plus the squad leader did not exceed ten people.

  "Sir, can Titanomachy produce hallucinations?" Lei Zhe suddenly remembered something.

  "Titan Arum is just an ordinary flower, at most it can be used to make perfume, nothing else." Guevara shook his head.

  "They... " Lei Zhe pointed to the infantry, and the scene looked very strange. Most people felt an extremely pungent smell, some couldn't smell anything, while others thought it smelled sweet and fragrant. There was no reasonable explanation for this! Unless... the Titan Devil Lotus itself was unusual.

  For the first time, Guevara showed a hesitant expression, he couldn't figure out why, and finally chose to trust his own experience: "Leizhe, let the soldiers pass through here quickly, we'll rest in front."

  "Sir, Zagunede wouldn't plant Titan Arum here for no reason. Are you really sure there's nothing wrong?" Lei Zhe asked seriously.

  "The vitality of the Titan Devil's Yam is extremely strong, and it doesn't need to be planted intentionally. What's more, what if there are problems?" Gwala said calmly: "The only ones that can make me worry are Zagunede and Caroline, Betty these three monsters. Since they are not here, even if there are problems, it won't be difficult for us."

  "Understood, sir." Lei Zhe nodded and turned back to shout: "All soldiers speed up through that flower area. You few, pass on the characteristics of Titan Alocasia, don't let the soldiers panic."

  "Yes, sir!" Several knights bowed in response.

  Han Jin patted his hand and the giant turtle went down. He said softly: "Qili, Stillberg, you guys go down first."

  In this small team, Han Jin had already gained enough prestige that no one raised any questions. Several people jumped off the giant turtle one after another, and then the giant turtle took big strides, rushing down the mountain ridge at the forefront.

  Lei Zhe let out a sigh of relief, looking at Han Jin's back with grateful eyes. What is friendship? This is friendship! When you're in trouble, you don't even need to ask for help, friends will take the initiative to stand up and help you out. If there really was something wrong ahead, it would definitely cause significant losses for the soldiers, but with Han Jin and a few others scouting ahead, it wouldn't be a problem. With Han Jin's incredible abilities, he would safely bring everyone back, Lei Zhe had faith in him.

  The giant turtle quickly approached the flower district, and Mo Xinkuo and others boosted their morale and made preparations for battle. Upon closer inspection, the Titan Devil's appearance became even more ugly, with its rough skin covered in coarse hair resembling countless steel needles, and even the smallest Titan Devil was thicker than Mo Xinkuo.

  Han Jin struck two talismans in a row into the depths of the flower cluster, if that was also a flower. He then walked to the edge of the turtle shell and with one slash of his knife, cut off a small piece of stem. Mo Xinkou covered his nose and shouted: "Raphael, what are you doing?"

  Han Jin didn't respond, putting the stem into the spatial ring and silently observing his surroundings. Those Titan Alocasia looked terrifying, but were actually extremely fragile. If they were touched by the giant turtle, either they would be knocked flying or fall to the ground.

  The isolation zone composed of Titan Devil's Rhizome was almost three miles wide, and the giant turtle rushed to the other side in no time. Han Jin was now certain that there was no problem, and he turned his head to whisper: "Xian Ni Er, give them the signal."

  Xian Ni'er took down her longbow and shot an arrow straight into the sky. Lei Zhe waved his hand on the mountain ridge: "Advance."
