Chapter 140: Battle of Zhuolu (Part 14)

Just as everyone was at a loss, Ouyang Shuo spoke up. "Your majesty, I have an item that can break the fog."

The Yellow Emperor was delighted. "What item is it? Quick, quick, take it out."

Ouyang Shuo nodded and took out the south-pointing chariot and explained. "This item is called the south pointing chariot, and no matter how it turns, the wooden hand will point south. Before we leave, we just take note of the direction, and we can get past the fog."

"Is this item really so magical?" The Yellow Emperor had his doubts.

Ouyang Shuo confidently laughed and said, "Please try it and you will know."

The Yellow Emperor signaled Feng Hou who was standing at the side. She understood and tried out the south-pointing chariot. The outcome was obvious and it worked. The south-pointing chariot that Ouyang Shuo had been planning since he'd entered the game had finally been put to good use. This was a chess move that was planned so far in advance.

The Yellow Emperor was a really daring person, and upon confirming that it worked, he reorganised his troops and dashed into the fog with the guidance of the south-pointing chariot.

On the way, Bai Hua and the others stared at Ouyang Shuo like he was a monster. In the end she couldn't help but ask. "Wuyi, how did you know that this battle would need the south-pointing chariot?"

Ouyang Shuo shook his head, as he knew that they would ask. "Actually, I wasn't sure. Ever since I knew that the first battle map was the Battle of Zhuolu, I looked up information of that specific battle. You all know that this battle was one of legends and any truth was immortalised, so any clue would be very minute and small. I made a conjecture and what interested me the most was actually that the Yellow Emperor was the one who invented the south-pointing chariot."

"It was apparent that at that time he had no ability to make it. It should've been done by his descendants who gave the credit to the Yellow Emperor. Then I thought that since it was recorded in history, maybe he was really trapped in fog only that they used a different method to break through. So I thought that if I was able to make a south pointing chariot, that it would come to good use in the battle. In the end the fog really did appear just that it wasn't caused by a volcano as legends said but by Chiyou."

Ouyang Shuo's words was obviously made up. He had the advantage of knowing the future and just prepared beforehand. However he couldn't tell that to them, so he just made up a white lie.

Listening to his explanation, everyone respected and envied Ouyang Shuo even more.

"Brother Wuyi is so amazing, I'm starting to worship you already." Mu Lanyue said in awe.

Bai Hua was also stunned and gave him a thumbs up. "Wuyi, incredible. To grab the chance from a small clue in history. The way I see it, your acute sense is similar to Xunlong Dianxue's, that mission-crazy person.

Ouyang Shuo didn't want to stay on this topic and said, "Ok, you guys can stop praising me. The way I see it, once we get over the fog, there will still be another big battle.

"We will indeed."

......

Just as he said, under the guidance of the south-pointing chariot, they got out of the fog. Not far from them was the Chiyou tribe forces who were sitting down and rearranging themselves.

He couldn't believe that the enemy could so easily get out of the fog. Hence, Chiyou didn't worry and let his forces rest. He was still thinking after they were rested to counter attack and surprise them. Who would've thought that they would miraculously get past the fog? This was a huge blow, and all of the sudden the morale plummeted.
