Since eating surani''s divine blood stone, ziegesse''s mental state is somewhat abnormal. He becomes very irritable, his thinking jumps quickly, and his speech becomes confused.


    People around are worried, but manu doesn''t care. After entering the rank, the primitive God believers no longer need the promotion ceremony or prepare special sacrifices. Sometimes, they don''t even know they have been promoted.


    Ziegler''s abnormal temperament is likely to be a sign of successful promotion.


    But ziegesse tried. He tried many times on the hillside. No matter how hard he tried, there was no imagined mud flow.


    "My sincerity is not enough," Ziegler began a profound self-examination. "My belief in the goddess is not firm enough."


    Manu suggested, "you should offer some sacrifices to the goddess."


    "That makes sense," siegesse nodded. "I don''t think our trenches are deep enough, either."


    "I''m talking about sacrifice..." manu didn''t think it had anything to do with digging trenches.


    "Only when the trenches are dug deep enough can they be close enough to the earth, so that they can listen to the voice of the Earth Goddess!"


    Manu nodded. At least this sentence, ziegesse made sense.


    Ziegler then said, "if I can''t hear the voice of the goddess, when will my wife give birth to a lovely child?"


    "Er... What does this have to do with having children?"


    "I asked you to read more books, have you forgotten?" ziegesse was suddenly angry. "The Earth Goddess is in charge of life. Only by carefully listening to the goddess''s teachings can we have smart and strong children!"


    "But we''re talking about promotion..."


    "Promotion is really important. We''ll send more sentinels tonight."


    "What does sentry have to do with promotion?"


    "We should be familiar with every path of brittle rock mountain. Don''t you want to be promoted? This is the respect for the mountain god."


    "I don''t think so. You''re going to be promoted..."


    Qi gesai roared, "the Earth Goddess decides whether I can be promoted, and the Mountain God decides whether you can be promoted. The awe of the mountain god can only help you promote, not me. What''s the problem?"


    "No problem," manu lowered his head. "What the teacher said is right..."


    Manu felt that Qi gesai was not suitable to continue to lead the army. He sent a letter to Manda through Styx Island overnight, but Manda didn''t respond. He still maintained his trust in Qi gesai.


    Manda didn''t want to change the commander, and Manu didn''t dare to say more. He led the soldiers to patrol around the barren mountains every day.


    This is not necessary for manu. He can hear the call of the mountain god at any time in the mountain. If a stranger breaks into the mountain, he will certainly receive the prompt of the mountain god.


    But after touring the mountains for two days, Manu found the ashes of a campfire in a pine forest.


    According to the military law formulated by Ziegler, no one is allowed to use fire in the mountains except the cook can cook food at the designated place.


    There is no water source on brittle rock mountain. A 200 member army is specially responsible for transporting water from the spring at the foot of the mountain to the camp with mules.


    This water is barely enough to drink. On the brittle rock mountain, even washing your face is a rare luxury. It has almost no resistance to fire, so ziegesse has very strict restrictions on fire.


    Will some soldiers secretly violate the military law, light a fire, bake something to eat and get warm?


    There are soldiers who violate the military law everywhere, but no one will easily challenge this military law. According to the rules of ziegesse, if you use fire outside the forest, your right hand shall be cut off, and if you use fire inside the forest, your head shall be cut off.


    Brittle rock mountain has poor vegetation due to lack of water. This pine forest is the only wood source on the mountain and an important reliance for the construction of camps and defense facilities.


    Who would secretly light a fire here?


    It''s not our own people, but it must be the enemy, but the enemy mixed in the mountains. Why didn''t the mountain god give a hint?


    A row of footprints were left beside the fire. Manu wanted to follow the footprints to explore the depths of the pine forest, but was stopped by the centurion around him.


    "General ziegsai has an order to report any abnormality to him immediately."


    Manu lowered his face and said, "who are you talking to?"


    "I don''t mean to offend you, but this is the general''s order. The general specially ordered that you can''t act alone."


    "The enemy has arrived in the mountains. Now the situation is very urgent. It has nothing to do with you. I will explain to the teacher."


    The centurion stopped directly in front of Manu and pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand.


    "I disobeyed the general''s order. I have only one way to die. I have to take you back with my life."


    Manu knew siegesse''s style. No matter how right the centurion made, siegesse would never forgive him if he disobeyed the order.


    He didn''t embarrass the centurion any more. He left dozens of soldiers near the fire and hurried back to the camp to report the news to zigse.


    "As I said, you are not pious enough, so the mountain god didn''t let you continue to be promoted." ziegesse scolded manu.


    Manu modestly admitted his mistake and said that he would hold a grand sacrifice for the mountain god.


    "Sacrifice alone is not enough. Don''t always think of using sacrifices to move gods. Use your heart and your sincere heart."


    "OK, sincere heart!" manu nodded vigorously. He tried his best to communicate effectively with ziegesse on the premise that he did not touch his sensitive nerves. "Let''s put the sacrifice and promotion aside first. There are enemies in the pine forest. Now we must send someone to search the pine forest carefully."


    "How many enemies are there?" is a normal question.


    "I only saw the ashes of a campfire. According to the size of the fire, there should be more than a dozen people."


    "What are more than a dozen people afraid of?" he was only normal for a little while.


    "This is what we see. There may be more enemies we don''t see."


    "Why didn''t you see it?"


    This is an unreasonable question. Manu tried to be patient: "we haven''t found them yet, or they covered up their traces."


    "Why did these dozen people let you see, why didn''t they cover up the traces? Is it difficult to clean up a fire?"


    Manu was stunned. He looked at Ziegler in surprise and couldn''t describe his current state.


    Ziegesse then asked, "they cheated our sentinels, escaped the traps in the mountains, and even cheated the eyes of the mountain god, but why do they have to leave a fire on the ground for you to find?"


    "I......" manu was speechless for a moment.


    "If you follow the footprints to track the enemy, can you guarantee that you will come back alive?"


    The nature of the dungeon Hunter did not change. Although he was influenced by the divine blood stone and spoke a little confused, he still maintained his old caution.


    The enemy tried his best to come to the mountains, and it was impossible to easily expose traces. They deliberately left the fire in the pine forest, probably deliberately leading manu to take the bait, but manu didn''t think of it at all.


    "You are seventeen years old. You have fought a lot of battles and made a lot of achievements. It is time to be alone," Qi gesai went to Manu and patted him on the shoulder. "Your territory is getting bigger and bigger. We will rarely be in the same camp or even in the same battlefield in the future. I can''t take care of you all the time. You should grow up."


    Manu looked ashamed and whispered, "but this matter can''t be left alone."


    "Although it must be managed, the enemy has targeted you. Don''t leave the camp easily in the future. You left dozens of soldiers in the pine forest. Let them come back. You can''t see the trap and drill into it."


    In the afternoon, Manu made a sacrifice. He offered a cow and prayed until dusk, but he didn''t receive any response.


    In the evening, the sentry sent the news. More than a dozen soldiers left behind in the pine forest disappeared. There was blood on the ground, but no body was left.


    Manu was a little at a loss. Qi gesai bit his lips and said, "the camp has strengthened its vigilance. The patrol has doubled and the night sentry has tripled. During the day, we continue to dig trenches. I write to adults and ask for support."
