I Slaughtered Through the Dungeon Worlds with My Cheats
Chapter 501 - 249: Commander of Ten Thousand, Firmly Upholding the Task, Heading to Mei Mountain_4

As such, his strength had surged to that of a Level 8 Ghost King, protecting Mei Mountain should pose no problem.

He feared that something unforeseen might occur within Mei Mountain.

"Forget it, no more thinking, I'll just sleep on it. I'll know once I get to Mei Mountain tomorrow."

Mu Rufeng threw away the thoughts swirling in his mind and soon fell into a deep sleep.

...

The next day, before dawn, the assembling gong sounded.

Mu Rufeng was the first to wake.

In a short period of time, a ten-thousand-man army had assembled according to their positions from the day before.

Han Zhen appeared again, encouraged everyone, and after feeding them a hearty meal, he also issued two days' worth of dry rations.

Furthermore, the armor had been changed to a set of black armor; all of which were third-level items.

Including helmets, boots, inner and outer armor, and breastplates, etc.

It could be said that everyone was armed to the teeth.

With that, the people set off.

When they reached the frontier, the gates slowly opened, revealing a road leading out of Great Xia.

Mu Rufeng did not pause and led the large army straight out of the frontier, heading straight north for eighty li (forty kilometers) to Mei Mountain.

At this moment, the sky had already brightened, and the sunlight poured down, turning the cool air hot.

They all walked without riding horses, relying only on their legs.

Eighty li, for those of them whose worst cultivation was at refining meat to the third level, presented no pressure whatsoever.

In fact, riding horses might not even be as fast as they could run, by the time they reached Mei Mountain it would only be a burden.

Half an hour later, they had briskly covered forty li; they were halfway there.

Outside the frontier, it wasn't grasslands but rather rugged mountains and chaotic stones.

There were few large open areas, causing the ten-thousand-man army to be stretched out long in formation.

At the same time, the abundance of rugged mountains and chaotic stones also hid many exotic beasts and even spies from the Barbarian tribe.

"Zhao Long, you move quickly; go, capture alive the spy hiding behind the boulder two hundred meters away," Mu Rufeng said to a person behind him.

"Yes, General!" Zhao Long saluted with a fist.

Then, with a light tap of his foot, his figure immediately turned into a streak and shot towards the distance.

In just over a minute, Zhao Long returned, dragging a man whose upper body was bare and whose lower body was covered with animal skins.

This attire was unmistakably that of a Barbarian.

"Interrogate him, and we'll speed up the march," Mu Rufeng commanded.

"Yes, General."

Soon, Zhao Long took the Barbarian away, and at the same time, the entire team's marching speed increased by a third.

Seven or eight minutes later, Zhao Long caught up.

"General, our movements have been leaked, he has no companions; he already sent the message out two quarters of an hour ago via a tamed eagle," Zhao Long reported.

"No matter, with so many of us, it's inevitable that our tracks are known. We have also covered half the distance, and we might have to start fighting soon."

"Alert everyone to heighten their vigilance and be ready for battle at any moment," Mu Rufeng issued another order.

Ten minutes later, the large army stopped in front of a gorge.

This gorge was only five meters wide, flanked by mountain bodies that were more than three hundred meters high.

What was most peculiar was that the sides were slightly inclined, and there were no trees on top.

And this gorge was winding, requiring a two li walk to get through.

With Mu Rufeng's experience of watching many historical TV series, there had to be an ambush here.

"General, should we send two teams to check for ambushes on the mountainsides to the left and right?" Lv Sanshan spoke up.

"No need, the Great General has already given me a contingency plan."

Mu Rufeng smiled lightly and then took out an Array Plate.

[Mountain Opening Array]: An array plate crafted by the military advisor Zhuge Yanping of the Northern Army.

Effect: A Level 5 item, once activated, can deploy the Mountain Opening Array, possessing the power to cleave mountains.

Note: This is a consumable item.
