After breaking off relations, the prince's family regretted it for the rest of their lives.

Chapter 461 Snowboard

Chen Changan raised his hand and was about to tell his brothers to charge, but suddenly he was stunned.

Chen Changan wiped the dense beads of sweat oozing from his temples, tugged at Yue Shan beside him, glanced around nervously, and lowered his voice to a very low level, almost whispering.

"Brother Yue, do you feel something is wrong?"

"No." Yue Shan shook his head.

"No, there is." Chen Changan swallowed hard, his eyes scanning the surroundings anxiously.

They had already arrived deep into this mysterious valley. In front of them lay the dense forest of towering trees. Rotten branches and pine cones were piled on the ground in layers, as thick as a blanket.

Dusk is approaching, and this should be the time when animals return to their nests and insects and birds chirp, but the forest is filled with an eerie silence.

Apart from the sound of his own increasingly heavy breathing, he could not hear any other movement.

"Don't you think... the silence is a little weird?"

After Chen Changan's reminder, Yue Shan suddenly reacted.

It’s really eerily quiet!

In such a vast forest, you can't hear the singing of birds or the chirping of insects, nor can you see any trace of weeds or wild flowers growing wildly.

In the dim afterglow, a strange blue light was faintly flickering in the woods, dotted with stars, emitting an ominous aura.

Yue Shan felt a chill on his back, his hair stood on end, and he involuntarily clenched the spear in his hand: "Let me... try?"

Chen Changan was a little surprised. How could he try this?

Yue Shan didn't say much. He walked to the side, cut off a branch, and then threw it far away.

The tip of the branch touched the surface of the swamp, and at first there seemed to be nothing unusual.

But just a moment later, the originally calm swamp began to churn violently like a beast that was suddenly awakened.

The mud and water around the small tree quickly formed whirlpools, swallowing up the small tree at a speed visible to the naked eye.

First, the roots of the tree sank into the mud little by little, and then the trunk was slowly dragged down. The originally tough bark made a "squeaking" sound under the pull of the swamp, as if it was a painful groan.

The soldiers watched all this nervously and involuntarily took a few steps back.

Only then did they clearly realize that this seemingly harmless swamp actually hid deadly dangers.

If you take just one step into one of them, you may be ruthlessly dragged into the dark abyss like this little tree and disappear without a trace.

"Master Chen, this, this...what should we do?"

Yue Shan tried many times, but the result was always the same. He couldn't help but turn pale.

I have to say, it makes sense not to station troops to guard here!

Chen Changan sighed and shook his head: "There must be a way. If we can't go through the swamp, we can go up there."

Chen Changan nodded calmly and said, "Feng Gang, you go over with the ropes and set up a few ropes. The others will stay here and wait for you while we eat dinner."

Although Chen Yuwei had some opinions about Chen Changan, she did not have any opinions about other people.

Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "No, I don't agree! Chen Changan, you have to understand clearly, even branches can't float up, let alone people?"

"I can't just watch you play with human life. No!"

This time, even Yue Shan didn't stop Chen Yuwei.

Chen Changan raised his eyebrows and said, "Chen Yuwei, I am their leader. I let them live and die. What does it have to do with you?"

"You, you, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Chen Yuwei immediately refused to do so: "The old general repeatedly said that he loves his soldiers like his sons. Even if you don't treat them as your sons, they are human beings. We are all human beings. Why should I go even though I know I will die?"

"Feng Gang, don't go. Chen Changan may not have good intentions!"

Chen Yuwei spoke angrily, but Feng Gang laughed out loud.

"General Chen, I think you are a bit fierce."

Feng Gang said this with a smile, and Chen Yuwei immediately became furious.

A bit fierce...

What do you mean?

"Mr. Chen has spent a lot of effort on each of us young men. Apart from other things... at least one million taels of silver have been spent on each of us, right?"

"It's one million, not one hundred taels."

"Will Master Chen waste so much money?"

When everyone heard Feng Gang's words, they reacted immediately.

Yes, Chen Changan has spent so many years and painstakingly trained these reckless young men, how could he let them go to die!

What else can we do except prevent them from going to their deaths?

The swamp seems calm, with only a thin layer of water covering the surface, with a few imperceptible ripples occasionally appearing. Aquatic plants are sparsely distributed, swaying gently in the breeze, as if hiding its deadly secret.

Stepping into this swamp would undoubtedly be like walking into a tiger's mouth.

"What is this?"

Yue Shan saw the young men skillfully installing a strange wooden board on the soles of their feet.

The bottom of the wooden board was unusually smooth, the front end was slightly raised, and there were some leather straps tied on it. I was full of curiosity.

I couldn't help but walk up to them, scratching my head and asking, "What new thing are you guys doing? How come I've never seen it before?"

Feng Gang chuckled, his face filled with a confident smile, patted the installed wooden board, and said proudly: "General Yue, this is a new thing that Lord Chen has researched, a snowboard!"

"Skis? Why...have I never heard of them?" Yue Shan was curious.

"It's just been developed, how could you have heard of it?"

Feng Gang shook his head and said, "This is a magic tool for us to travel in this icy and snowy land. Look, it's waxed underneath, so it slides very quickly. Walking on the snow is like flying, which saves a lot of energy."

"I thought the swamp was like snow."

Yue Shan squatted down, looked at the ski board carefully, reached out and touched the smooth bottom, his eyes full of confusion and curiosity.

"Will this work? They just look like a few boards, can they withstand people running on them?" Yue Shan stood up and crossed his arms, still a little unconvinced.

Feng Gang saw Yue Shan's doubts, laughed, and said, "General Yue, don't underestimate it because it took us a long time to experiment and finally get it right."

"Okay, we are almost ready, just wait and see."

Feng Gang attacked the reckless young man. There were not many of them, about twenty people stood up at the same time.

One end of the rope was tied to a tree, and the other end was on the reckless boy. With a whistle from Feng Gang, the reckless boy turned around and left.

Brush, brush, brush!

They were agile and glided lightly across the surface of the swamp.

The skis under their feet splashed muddy water, but they relied on their excellent sense of balance and quick reaction to skillfully avoid the hidden quagmires.

Some of the teenagers jumped high, drew a graceful arc in the air, then landed steadily on the skateboard and continued to move forward; others turned sideways, used a long pole to tap the mud and water, changed direction in an instant, and avoided the suddenly appearing dangerous whirlpool!

It really can!

Everyone applauded loudly. This time they were finally relieved.

Chen Yuwei looked at the boy flying quickly in the mud in horror and shook her head repeatedly: "If I had known you were prepared, why would I get angry with you?"

"Chen Changan, you... are so bad!"
