Chapter 172: Betrayal
In the next two days, everyone conducted a carpet search with the Xuanyin sand vein as the center, and a radius of dozens of kilometers.
During this period, it experienced more than a dozen aftershocks, large and small.
Therefore, Zhong Hou was a little more worried about the situation in Longshan.
Not to mention, they did find some clues.
There is a wide river next to the Xuanyin sand vein, which everyone knows, and Zhong Hou also knows that this river can lead to the distance of the monkey clan.
It was found that the closer you are to the river, the greater the magnitude of the aftershocks. Conversely, the farther away from the river, the smaller the amplitude of the vibration.
Everyone felt it carefully, and found that as time passed, the center of the hypocenter continued to advance in the direction of the river.
However, the speed of advancement is extremely slow, and if you are not cultivators and have a keen sense of touch that is far beyond ordinary people, you may not be able to detect it.
Clearly, something underground was heading in the direction of the river.
And the first powerful earthquake, and the hundreds of aftershocks that followed, were caused by every 'step' of this thing.
As for whether this thing is a demon beast or not, everyone is already ninety percent sure.
If it wasn't a demon beast, how could it move on its own, and the pace of movement was so regular.
Now it's either wait, wait for the thing to move slowly until it leaves the ground and enters the river, and then work together to destroy it.
But the question is...
First, we don't know how long we will have to wait.
Second, the strongest cultivation here is only the fifth layer of the Star Shell Realm, and the worst cultivation is only the seventh layer of the Star Shell Realm. With this kind of strength, it is still unknown whether it can beat that thing, and if it is not, it will be wiped out by that thing.
Either the investigation ends here, go back and report the matter, and wait for the strong man of the sect to deal with it. Whether that thing is destroyed or released is none of their business.
"The other two veins are in the opposite direction of the river, and if that thing is going in the direction of the river, that is, it poses no threat to the other two veins at all. So we don't have to rush to report to the sect.
We can wait a few more days, wait for that thing to come out, and then extinguish what we can, and maybe we can make some good. If you can't kill it, you can run away, that thing is in the water, we are on land, and it shouldn't be as fast as us, so it is estimated that there will be no danger. ”
One of the more greedy disciples had already imagined that after destroying that thing, he would take advantage of the other party. You must know that almost all the demon beasts are treasures, even if so many people share them equally, it is also a lot of wealth.
Even, after destroying that thing, you can also ask the sect for credit, and the reward will never be less at that time.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously drooled.
When the other disciples heard this, they all showed greedy eyes.
Zhong Hou shook his head with a wry smile.
He thinks that is the end of the investigation.
As for the unknown, he didn't want to touch it, and the guy who could cause the earthquake was something that this group of people could provoke.
He had wanted to send everyone back, but he went to the monkey clan alone and brought back the results of the investigation. But now it seems that things are going to be delayed.
Since everyone was reluctant to leave, he couldn't offer to leave first, so he could only wait with everyone.
As a result, time passed slowly in everyone's cultivation.
On the night of the third day, ** suddenly came to Zhong Hou's side secretly, and said in as low a voice as possible: "When I just went to pee, I noticed that there was some movement by the river. I knew that Brother Zhong was unwilling to watch his brothers take risks, so I didn't publicize it. Now only you know about this, I hope Brother Zhong will help me get an idea. ”
In Half Moon Villa, among his peers, he has the best relationship with Huawen, Huawu, and Fu Qiuyue.
Li Hanjie, Confucius Tomo, and ** can only be regarded as having dealt with each other, and the relationship can only be regarded as average.
As for the others, they are familiar at most, and they can't even call their names when they say hello at most.
However, **'s words completely hit Zhong Hou's thoughts, so he didn't have the slightest doubt about **'s words.
"Let's go, let's see. ”
Zhong Hou stood up gently, for fear of disturbing the other disciples who were still meditating and cultivating.
Then, with the addition of the raccoon fox, the three black shadows quietly disappeared into the night sky.
Li Hanjie, Confucius Tomo and **The three have been friends for a long time, and they have been aware of **'s behavior a little abnormally recently.
Tonight's action did not escape the eyes of the two, so they also quietly followed.
When I came to the shore, a river about four or five hundred meters wide appeared in front of me, and the turbulent river hung with a bright moon, and the sound of croaking frogs sounded from time to time all around.
The river is like ink in the night, not to mention monsters, not even a fish.
Moreover, the demon beast that can cause an earthquake is definitely not small, even if the river is about 100 meters wide, it is estimated that it will toss a lot of movement.
Therefore, Zhong Hou glanced at ** with a little puzzlement, hoping to learn from him what the so-called 'movement' was all about.
Just as ** was about to explain, the upstream of the river, about a few hundred meters away from them, suddenly sounded a pop pop sound.
It was as if something had fallen into the water, and as if something had come out of the water and back again, and the sound of the waves rolling back and forth was caused by the ups and downs.
"Be careful, there seems to be danger ahead. ”
At this moment, Zhong Hou's voice sounded in his head.
However, Zhong Hou didn't care, if it was really a powerful large demon beast, it was inevitable that there would be danger.
After glancing at each other, he quickly swept in the direction where the sound came from.
As soon as I arrived at the scene, the large demon beast didn't see it, but dozens of figures suddenly jumped out of the forest.
The figures were dressed in black, covering their faces one by one, and their outfits were the same as those without a trace.
Could it be the people of the Blood Killing Alliance?
Why did they kill themselves?
No matter if, Zhong Hou knew very well in his heart that the other party was ambushing here so late, and he was definitely not going to talk to him about admiring the moon.
There must be a fierce battle next.
Just when I wanted to tell ** to be careful, I found that ** rushed behind the man in black with an arrow step.
At the same time, the man in black had already surrounded Zhong Houtuan, but he turned a blind eye to **'s behavior.
Although it is not 100% certain that the identity of the killer of the other party's Blood Killing Alliance is still in front of us, the facts are already in front of us.
All of this tonight was pre-planned.
I didn't notice any movement at all, all I did was to bring myself here.
He is the inner response to the whole plan.
He betrayed himself.
Zhong Hou's eyes flashed with a strong killing intent, but he didn't ask why he betrayed him, the reason was no longer important, because in his eyes, ** was already a dead man.
What Zhong Hou hates most is this kind of villain who betrays his friends.
This kind of person can betray you today, and he can betray anyone tomorrow.
This kind of person is the most shameful, not only betraying the trust of others, but also taking advantage of the trust of others to cause harm to others.
If this kind of person does not die, more people will be victimized by it.
