Chapter 539: Ambush
Half a day later, the eighth team came to a valley, and Zhan Chen asked a young man, "Wu Yi, what are you going to do next?"
Wu Yi is one of the disciples stationed in Fan Chuncheng, he is more familiar with the Qilin Mountains, and now he has become the guide in the eighth team. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Wu Yi carefully observed the surrounding situation, shook his head, and said, "This seems to be Luoxia Valley, but I'm not sure yet, it's best to observe it from the sky." ”
Zhan Chen looked around and said, "Okay then, I'll use the spirit beast to carry you up." And he let him go. The two of them ride the black feather golden eagle and climb along the steep cliff, the flight limit of the night is 1,000 meters, and the surrounding mountains are 10,000 meters above, so they must follow the slope of the mountain and borrow the updraft to fly higher.
It didn't take long for them to come to an altitude of nearly 20,000 meters, standing on the back of the golden eagle, Wu Yi carefully identified it against the map, and then said, "Captain, it's already okay!"
Zhan Chen was not at ease, and continued to confirm: "It's really okay?"
"Okay, isn't that how we all came here?"
Zhan Chen nodded, it was true, since they left Fan Chun City, all the way to the east, they needed to rise into the air five or six times a day to determine the road ahead, this was also a helpless choice, the Qilin Mountain Range was too big, and there were many places that looked very similar, if they didn't carry out accurate high-altitude positioning, they might not be able to find those villages and towns scattered in this mountain range.
"Wow!" Suddenly, a piercing strange cry came from the side, startling Zhan Chen and Wu Yi, and when they looked closely, it was a strange bird like a crow entrenched in front of them, but they were all more robust than eagles.
"Whew, it scared me, I thought I had encountered some powerful demon beast, but it turned out to be just a few calamities. Wu Yi patted his chest and smiled.
"Disaster Wu, is this a demon beast?" Zhan Chen didn't know that there was such a variety.
"Yes, this is just a seventh-order demon beast, known for its speed, likes to eat flesh and blood, is quite intelligent, and gathers around corpses, so people regard them as an ominous bird. But it's strange to see a raven at this high altitude, and there don't seem to be any corpses nearby. ”
"I see. Zhan Chen muttered, but somehow the ominousness in his heart became even thicker after seeing these birds, and suppressing the worry in his heart, he ordered at his spirit beast: "Xiaoye, let's go down." ”
After listening to the order, he landed downwards and returned to the ground in a short time. As soon as he returned to the ground, Wu Yi said to everyone: "It has been determined, the location we are in is Luoxia Valley, so that we only need to go west through the Long Snake Canyon to reach Longxi Village." It's a big village, with thousands of families and a population of thousands!"
Zhan Chen nodded and said, "Without further ado, let's leave immediately." ”
So everyone got back on the road and marched in the direction of Longxi Village. However, what they didn't know was that at the same time as they set off, the plague crows that were hovering above their heads also left, flying in the direction of the canyon they had rushed to, and soon landed in front of a middle-aged man with a thin body and red eyes, and screamed.
The middle-aged man listened to the bird song of the disaster crow, but became more and more excited, and finally laughed, and said to himself: "Jie Ji, there is really a big harvest from the wind, I want to go back and report it quickly!"
After speaking, he actually released his flying spirit beast, sat on it, and flew away in the direction of Longxi Village.
After a while, he reached the sky above Longxi Village and ordered his spirit beast to descend.
If Zhan Chen and the others appeared here, they would definitely be amazed, and now Longxi Village has completely become a dead village. Walking into the village, you can see dilapidated houses, fallen trees, and dead bodies and bones all over the ground, and the whole village has completely rotted!
Back on the ground, the middle-aged demon cultivator walked straight towards the largest courtyard in the village, and before reaching the gate, two demon cultivators guarding the gate shouted at him: "Zhu Biao, eldest brother ordered you to go out to let off the wind today, why did you come back so soon?"
Zhu Biao glared at them and shouted, "You should call me a crow Taoist!"
made the two laugh and said, "Come on, return the Taoist, do you have a kind of take this to the eldest brother and say it?"
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to talk to you, go in, I still have important things to go in to report!" Zhu Biao's face sank, ignoring the two of them and stepping directly into the courtyard door, and went straight to the reception hall, where there were more than a dozen demon cultivators, talking freely while drinking wine and eating meat, each of them had the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Yuan.
Seeing Zhu Biao enter the door, a fat man led by a big man with a meaty face asked, "Zhu Biao, why did you come back?"
Zhu Biao hurriedly stepped forward to salute him and said, "Big brother, my pets discovered the situation while patrolling, and a group of Huaying Sect disciples are trying to pass through the Long Snake Canyon and come towards us!"
In fact, the one he called his eldest brother was a disciple of the Corpse Soul Sect, named Pan Yue, but he joined the Corpse Soul Sect halfway through the monkhood, before joining the Corpse Soul Sect, he was originally just a bandit, and he gathered a group of subordinates to occupy the mountain as the king, and here are his former "brothers".
"What?" Pan Yue stood up suddenly, and asked again, "How many of them are there?"
"Only ten?"
"Ten?" Pan Yue was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Even ten people dare to come over, isn't this looking for death?"
Zhu Biao also smiled and said, "Yes, we can ambush him and wipe out all the disciples of the Huaying Sect!"
Pan Yue's eyes also overflowed with excitement, and said: "Yes, I haven't had passion for a long time, since a few of our brothers were recruited by the Corpse Soul Sect, they have specialized in these chores of looting villages, and they have to hand over what corpse refining materials every month, Lao Tzu doesn't know what corpse refining is at all, and he has to work for some so-called senior brothers in vain, this time I finally met a more powerful opponent!"
"Yes, big brother, we are not on the right path with that group of corpse refining guys, joining the Corpse Soul Sect is also hindering the strength of the Corpse Soul Sect, thinking that it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, but I don't want to be as happy and comfortable as we imagined after joining the sect!" his subordinates also echoed.
Zhu Biao sighed: "Big brother, as the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, but the arrival of these Huaying Sect disciples just solved our urgent need? ”
"Yes!" Pan Yue's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he muttered: "Catch these people and give them to Senior Brother Lin who is stationed in Panlong Town, I'm afraid it will be able to withstand our 'Nagong' for several months." ”
"Yes, the disciples of Huaying Sect are much more valuable than Sanxiu and those ordinary villagers!"
"Okay, let's go immediately with the brothers, but we can't let the prey run away!"
"I'll call them right away!" Zhu Biao replied, then turned around and went down to deliver the order. In a few moments, there were forty-three bandits gathered together, all of them had the cultivation of the Yuan Realm, and marched towards the Long Snake Canyon in a mighty manner, where they laid out their pockets, and waited for the target to take the bait.
At this time, Zhan Chen and the others didn't know anything about it, and they still entered the Long Snake Canyon as originally planned. On both sides of the Long Snake Canyon are high cliffs as high as thousands of zhang, almost at a 90-degree elevation angle, and the strange rocks on the cliff wall are craggy, which makes people feel dizzy and shuddering when they see it. Between the two cliffs is the only narrow passage, winding like a long snake, I don't know how far it extends, the widest road is only 100 meters, the narrowest is only a few meters, giving people an unusual sense of crampedness.
Walking through the canyon, Zhan Chen and the others couldn't help but slow down, and looked up and around from time to time.
"Everyone, be careful, this Long Snake Canyon is a dangerous place. Zhan Chen reminded.
"Zhan Chen, what danger can we have, everyone has a glimpse of the Yuan Great Perfection cultivation, and along the way, the strongest opponents I have encountered are just a few eighth-order demon beasts!" Chen Bin said disdainfully.
Zhan Chen didn't respond to him, since he defeated Chen Bin in the competition, this vice captain only obeyed him on the surface, but he was still unconvinced in his heart, which can be seen from his words and deeds, but when he was out of the house, he needed to be single-minded, so Zhan Chen wouldn't bother with him.
The road ahead was getting narrower and narrower, and suddenly Zhan Chen felt that the whole world seemed to be trembling, and he was suddenly startled, and secretly shouted in his heart: "Eye of Time!" Time began to accelerate in his pupils, allowing him to see a scene in the future, and the cliff above would collapse in the next moment!
So he didn't have time to hesitate, and shouted: "Everyone prepare to fight, be careful of the top of your head!"
Zhan Chen's reminder woke up the other nine people who were in a panic, and they took out their Dao weapons one after another.
I only heard "boom, boom!" There were loud noises on both sides of the cliff, and then there were bursts of explosions on the cliff wall, and countless large and small rocks smashed down like a storm.
Everyone hurriedly waved their Dao weapons, slashing out sword qi one after another, shattering all those boulders. Fortunately, Zhan Chen reminded him in time, otherwise everyone would have been in a hurry for a while, and it was even very likely that they would be injured because of this.
As soon as the Stonehenge stopped, many people suddenly jumped down from the cliff again, surrounding Zhan Chen's group in front and back!
"You are demon cultivators!" Seeing the person coming clearly, Zhan Chen couldn't help but scream, a deep surprise flashed in his eyes, he never thought that these Demon Cultivators of the Corpse Soul Sect would learn of their whereabouts in advance!
"Wha, exactly!Hua Yingzong's people, you have been surrounded by us, surrender obediently, don't think about resisting, otherwise you will all die here!" At this time, Pan Yue walked out of the team and shouted arrogantly.
