Chapter 792: Exploring Nanshan (Part I)
Zhuo Yating asked, "Mayor Xu, were you also attacked by Soul Hunting yesterday?"
Xu Qingshan replied: "Yes, yesterday was also thanks to your Shangzong envoy to the rescue, otherwise we would have suffered heavy losses, but Soul Hunt has been visiting our town for two days, and this is the first time in half a year." ”
"Oh, so Soul Hunt only started appearing in this area half a year ago?"
"Yes, at first, only one or two infiltrated our town every ten days and half a month to suck people's souls, and we were wiped out in a few clicks, but it wasn't until three months ago that hordes of soul hunters began to attack us. ”
"Can you tell me where these soul hunters came from?"
Xu Qingshan thought for a while and replied, "It seems that they all came from the direction of Nanshan!"
"Nanshan?" Zhuo Yating and the others all lit up when they heard this word, and asked again: "Are you sure?"
"Sure, because we have seen more than once that in the dead of night, there is a soul hunter coming out of the South Mountain. ”
"Oh, but why don't you tell Linzhou City or us about this situation?"
"Hehe, you know, since the appearance of the soul hunt, Linzhou City has entered a state of high alert, and the contact with us has gradually become scarce, besides, you are here for the first time, I don't know that the scope of Nanshan is very large, it is a large mountain range composed of thousands of mountains, and there are countless demon beasts inhabiting it, which is very dangerous, and we have no evidence that the soul hunt is from within Nanshan at the beginning, so we didn't pass on the situation. ”
"I see. Zhuo Yating muttered.
Xu Qingshan said again: "But as the so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, our Nanshan Town also prospered on this, and every year a large number of adventurers with strong cultivation come here to look for adventures, so originally there were many strong people in our Nanshan Town, but since the soul hunting, those demon hunters have gradually left here and developed elsewhere because they are afraid of soul hunting, so our defense force has also weakened." ”
"But didn't Senior Sister Lin ask you about the Soul Hunt yesterday?" Zhuo Yating asked again.
Xu Qingshan shook his head and replied, "Without them, they came and went in a hurry, it seems that they received some information. ”
At this time, Chen Nan said on the side: "That's the case, yesterday I was the last to bring Lin Xian to this Nanshan Town. ”
"So that's the case, because you were in a hurry, did you forget to ask questions?" Zhuo Yating turned her head to Zhan Chen and the others and said, "Everyone, the information that Mayor Xu provided that this soul hunt may come from the Nanshan Mountain Range is very important, we have to rush back and discuss it with Su Ya and the others, and then decide on the next move." ”
Everyone nodded, agreeing with her judgment very much, so next, Zhan Chen and the others quickly left Nanshan Town and rushed back to Linzhou City, however, as soon as they arrived at the edge of Linzhou City, they heard the roar of the city continuously, and the flames were soaring into the sky, obviously a fierce battle broke out.
Zhuo Yating said: "It seems that there is a battle in the city, let's go into the city to help immediately!"
"Okay!" Everyone entered the city, and was immediately involved in the battle with the soul hunt, and an hour passed, and the sound of the battle in the city gradually subsided, and Zhuo Yating had time to rush to meet Lin Suya and them.
As soon as the two groups of people merged, Lin Suya asked, "Yating, why did you come back so quickly?"
Zhuo Yating replied: "We got an important piece of information, so we rushed back to discuss with you, but what's going on in the city, it seems that there are a lot of soul hunts today." ”
Lin Suya said solemnly: "Yes, since you left, the soul hunter has appeared, and this time it has reached more than a hundred, I really don't know where these soul hunters came from, I suspect that they may have taken advantage of the night to climb over the city wall and come in." ”
Zhuo Yating nodded and replied, "It must be like this, otherwise they would not be able to enter the city through the inspection, and we found a suspicious point in Nanshan Town." ”
Lin Suya said in surprise: "What, you also went to Nanshan Town?"
"Yes, and it happened to be in time for the town to be attacked by Soul Hunting. ”
"Has Nanshan Town been attacked again? It seems that the number of soul hunters is really increasing. ”
"Not only that, but I've also discovered a soul hunter with intelligence, who can speak fluently and knows how to organize other soul hunters. ”
Lin Suya was taken aback again, and shouted: "That's troublesome, a soul hunt with intelligence is definitely ten times more difficult to deal with than an ordinary soul hunt!"
"Su Ya, let's not talk about these for now, I got an important piece of information from Xu Qingshan's mouth, all the soul hunts may come from the Nanshan Mountain Range. ”
"Nanshan Mountain Range?" Lin Suya thought for a while and said: "There is indeed this possibility, I have seen the map, the Nanshan Mountain Range spans the territory of our Qinxiao Sect, Yunyao Country, and Jinjianmen, and there are more than 3,000 large and small peaks, among which the terrain is even more complex, and there are many demon beasts, if it is used as a hiding place, it is very suitable." ”
"Suya, and I've heard Soul Hunt say that he wants to sacrifice the absorbed soul to some apostle, which means that this 'apostle' is likely to be the mastermind behind the attack on our soul hunt. ”
"Looks like we're going to have to go into the mountains anyway. ”
"But I fear that if that 'apostle' is Batunno, all of us will most likely die in the Nanshan Mountains. ”
"But Yating, we have been entrusted by the sect this time, the sect is kind to us, and for the sake of so many innocent lives, we have to go on such a trip, or you all stay in the branch, and I can go alone. ”
"How can this be done? If you want to go, everyone will go together, and many people will have more combat power. ”
"Yes, we're going with Senior Sister Su Ya!" everyone also expressed their attitudes.
Lin Suya sighed: "Okay then, tomorrow the ten of us will set off and enter the Nanshan Mountain Range." She said to Xu Chunying again: "Senior Sister Xu, you just stay in the branch, keep the communication open, we will pass on the information we find to you at any time, and you can pass the news to the sect as soon as possible." ”
Xu Chunying nodded and said, "Leave it to me." ”
At this time, Zhuo Yating said: "Zhan Chen, either you should stay, our trip is very dangerous." ”
Zhan Chen knew that she was taking care of herself, and he was grateful, but said, "Senior Sister Zhuo, I am still very confident in my own strength, so you can take me with you." ”
Lin Suya glanced at Zhan Chen meaningfully and said, "Yating, Senior Brother Zhan's combat power is indeed not to be underestimated, besides, I think the sect must have a deep meaning in arranging him into our group, so let's take him with you." ”
"Oh well. Zhuo Yating had to nod.
So, Zhan Chen followed Lin Suya and others towards Nanshan Town, and when they arrived in the town, they were warmly received by Xu Qingshan, and learned that they were going to enter the mountain to investigate the reality of soul hunting, and the mayor of the town was even more excited, because if the soul hunting problem was not solved for a day, they would not be at peace for a day, so he immediately sent a hunter who had been hunting in the Nanshan Mountains for a long time to Lin Suya and others as guides, and after the group was ready, they finally headed towards the Nanshan Mountains behind the town.
