Chapter 674 - Admitting Defeat (3)
Yang Shun got up to see and was instantly shocked!
On the map, it clearly illustrated all the passageways that were hidden from ground level and they led to all directions and corners of the Plains of Corpses.
Junze’s eyeballs nearly popped out.
“You made this?” When Yang Shun said this, his voice was a little weak.
Ji Fengyan nodded. She had released countless paper men along the way and these paper men had infiltrated underground after following the breath of the demons. Now they could already be found everywhere underground.
A moment’s negligence might lead to a huge damage—it must be hard for the demons to think that the labyrinth that they had planned so meticulously would be understood completely by Ji Fengyan’s stack of paper men and what’s worse, they had not known at all.
Yang Shun’s gaze at Ji Fengyan had already turned very complicated—there was shock, surprise, and awe. It was just that they could not be bothered about these complicated emotions at that point in time and only stared straight at the map.
The Plains of Corpses was expansive. Just the area above ground was already boundless and the underground map that Ji Fengyan had illustrated was so detailed that all the narrow passageways that led to different exits could no longer be followed easily. The passageways crossed one other and the underground layout was so interlaced that it seemed like a spiderweb hidden underground.
“This is… really amazing.” After staring at it for a long time, Yang Shun suddenly slapped his palm on his forehead.
With such a map, they could completely grasp the movements of the demon clan. After looking at this map, Yang Shun then realised why the previous Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon could not capture the Plains of Corpses even after many rounds of battle.
The entire Plains of Corpses had 100 over large and small entrances and all the entrances were hidden from sight.
Some were at the foot of a mountain and some were between mountains—all of them were unexpected locations and were all developed by the demon clans. What was worse was that some entrances were hidden in the villages that still were not being attacked yet. If not for the map, no one would have expected the demons to hide an entrance in a human’s village.
“General Ji, you have made a huge accomplishment this time. Do you know that just this map of yours would save so many of us on the battlefield?” Yang Shun looked at Ji Fengyan with burning eyes. By this time, he had already forgotten Ji Fengyan’s age and regarded her as a same grade general.
Ji Fengyan laughed softly. She did not expect that Yang Shun would be this agitated because of this map.
Then, Yang Shun scrutinised the map a few more times, then rolled it up and placed it in Ji Fengyan’s hands with all due respect.
“General Ji, this map is very important to us. Before the battle, hand it out to every soldier to ensure that their survival rate is higher, but…” Yang Shun hesitated. This was a piece of good news, but there were two other people in the camp that they had to guard against.
“I’ll go look for someone trustable to replicate this map this instant. You have to remember that you definitely cannot let Zhan Fei and Situ Ba know about this map, otherwise your contributions may go to waste.” Yang Shun had been in the army for many years and knew about something fishy in the army. It was not uncommon to see people fighting to gain credit, more so even for Zhan Fei and Situ Ba who already had a grudge against Ji Fengyan.
