Chapter 240: Mysterious Expedition
Tang Zheng led Tianma and stood in front of the huge stone gate
A light rain fell from the sky, but everyone stood in front of the stone gate, and a solemn atmosphere arose, and all eyes were focused on Tang Zheng.
"Emissary, I'll go with you. Ye Yuan volunteered, after these battles, he already had a sincere admiration for Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng shook his head and said, "After I leave, you have to protect the safety of your clansmen." Elder, recently, don't stay too far away from the tribe, lest there be demon beasts attacking. β
The elder nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Emissary, you should be more careful when you go this time. β
Fang Shishi echoed with red eyes: "Tang Zheng, if it is too dangerous to come back, we must have other ways, now that medicine is so developed, this toxicity may not be incomprehensible." β
Tang Zheng smiled to reassure her, and then turned over on the horse, and at this time, Xiao Bai jumped on his shoulder again and hugged his head desperately.
"Xiaobai, hurry up, I'm leaving, you are obedient in the tribe, don't run around. Tang Zheng said.
"Squeak!"
Xiaobai screamed and shook his head, but he didn't let go.
Tang Zheng understood its thoughts and asked, "Do you want to go to the forbidden land with me?"
Xiaobai nodded busily.
"Lord Messenger, don't do it, it's too dangerous to go to the forbidden land, and the holy beast is equivalent to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger. The elder immediately advised.
Xiao Bai grinned at the elder, as if he was angry that he was actually going against him.
Seeing that it was so resolute, Tang Zheng's heart moved, and said: "I went to find out the origin of Xiaobai and the ultimate purpose of the demon beast, if Xiaobai is with me, there may be unexpected effects, which is more conducive to the investigation." β
Xiaobai is too magical, besides, with that magical flame, he can have a certain ability to protect himself, and he doesn't have to worry too much about falling into the hands of demon beasts.
The elder hesitated, looking at Tang Zheng's determined expression, he had to compromise and said, "Okay, then the envoy and the holy beast take care, we will wait for your victory." β
Tang Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely triumph." As he spoke, he glanced at Fang Shishi deeply, and his eyes were facing each other, conveying a deep affection.
"I'll go too!"
Tang Zheng shouted, and the four hooves of the heavenly horses soared into the air and rushed out like lightning, and the woods on both sides immediately retreated backwards, and the whirring wind passed by his ears.
Xiao Bai grabbed Tang Zheng's head, squeaked and screamed, and waved his claws, his fiery red eyes swollen with intense excitement.
Tang Zheng caught a glimpse of its naΓ―ve state, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, startling a flock of birds.
Riding a horse and galloping, crossing the mountains and crossing the swamps, the light rain had stopped, turning into a scorching sun, but in this big mountain, the vegetation was covered luxuriantly, so only the sparse sun rays shone on Tang Zheng's body, which was not very hot.
The sun was setting in the west, Tang Zheng found a cave to rest for the night, ate something, and continued on the road the next day.
It was a six-day journey to the forbidden land, but the heavenly horses were faster than ordinary horses, and Tang Zheng estimated that five days would be enough.
For four days in a row, Tang Zheng's formation was quite calm, although he encountered a few blind beasts during the attack, but it was not a demon beast, Tang Zheng hunted one, and then ate a beautiful barbecue.
Xiaobai also enjoyed the delicious food and feasted on it, and in the end, most of the huge beast was eaten by Xiaobai.
Tang Zheng was very suspicious that its small belly could hold so many things, and what was even more strange was that its originally swollen belly had become a lot smaller in the past few days, and even after eating that barbecue, it did not become round again.
Bang!
Suddenly, a dull sound sounded, which was particularly abrupt and piercing in the quiet mountain forest, and Pegasus immediately stopped.
"Gunshots!" Tang Zheng's pupils shrank suddenly, he was very sensitive to gunshots, and he judged it at once, but how could there be gunshots in this big mountain?
There are other people who have entered this 100,000 mountain, which is already considered to be deep in the mountain, and the other party can be regarded as very powerful to be able to walk here, not ordinary people.
Tang Zheng remembered that Mu Hongyan once said that every year there would be an expedition team into the 100,000 mountains to explore, but no one had ever come out again, could it be that this was another expedition team?
Tang Zheng only wanted to reach the forbidden land as soon as possible, and did not want to contact other people, and was about to ride his horse and gallop, but saw a fierce tiger coming out of the grass not far away.
Bang!
Another shot rang out, and a bloody light bloomed on the tiger's head, and then it fell limply to the ground and died.
Whoosh!
Several figures rushed over quickly, Tang Zheng wanted to leave It was too late, and both sides found each other.
The muzzle of the black hole was aimed at Tang Zheng, this was not only a pistol, but even an automatic rifle, Tang Zheng also saw a person carrying a sniper rifle on his body, and someone had a grenade hanging from his waist.
Tang Zheng's eyelids jumped, this is not an ordinary expedition team, the country has strict gun control, and it is difficult to get ordinary pistols, so local gangsters like Lin Hu only have one or two pistols, and they only got them with a lot of effort.
But these people in front of them are obviously too many grades higher than Lin Hu, and this kind of firepower is definitely not an ordinary person. Facing the muzzle of the black hole, he didn't move, and Xiao Bai looked at the muzzle of these black holes with curiosity, it didn't know what these things were, let alone their power.
"Who are you?" asked one of the people on the other side, shouting.
Tang Zheng's heart sank, this person spoke in a strange voice, and he didn't show fear, and asked directly, "Who are you?"
"I'll ask you first, and you answer me first. The other party moved the muzzle of the gun and said proudly.
Tang Zheng was unmoved: "I was passing by." β
"Passing by, why are you dressed like this?" the other party obviously didn't believe it, staring at Tang Zheng's clothes and asked curiously.
Tang Zheng glanced down at his clothes, he was wearing the traditional costume of the Wu people, that is, the ancient costume, except for his short hair, he was completely different from the people outside the mountain.
He had an idea, since this group of people has an extraordinary background, don't reveal your identity first, looking at the other party's suspicious gaze, I'm afraid you are also guessing his identity.
"Are you the one who lives in this big mountain?" the other suddenly asked aloud.
Tang Zheng's heart moved, his dress was indeed too deceptive, since the other party mistook him for the natives in the mountains, then he could push the boat along the river, so Tang Zheng asked solemnly: "Could it be that you are from outside, what are you doing here?"
The other party's face was full of guessing joy, and then he couldn't help but look at Tang Zheng with a little eagerness, as if he had seen his favorite prey.
Whoosh!
A few more people came running quickly, and they were led by horses, which were carrying field equipment on their backs, such as tent food, and gas masks.
Tang Zheng suddenly realized, no wonder the other party walked into the depths of this mountain, it turned out that he had a gas mask to resist the invisible miasma that killed people.
"This group of people is definitely not so simple as an expedition. Tang Zheng immediately made a judgment, the average expedition team does not have such sophisticated equipment, and everyone seems to be extraordinary, especially one of the few people who came over later, Tang Zheng saw it, and subconsciously tightened his heart.
Master!
This person is definitely a master, Tang Zheng can't tell whether the other party is a martial artist or a cultivator, but he can't see through it at all, in addition, the other people also obviously exude a temperament that is different from ordinary people, and they are not ordinary people.
"What is the purpose of this group of people coming to these 100,000 mountains?" Tang Zheng thought in his heart, since the Wu clan lived in this mountain, Tang Zheng couldn't turn a blind eye to this mysterious power, what if they came for the Wu clan?
"Come down, or we'll shoot. One yelled.
Tang Zheng pretended to look at the muzzle of the gun blankly.
Someone suddenly realized and sneered: "He is a dirt bun in this mountain, and he doesn't know a gun at all, what's the use of you threatening him with a gun?" Haha!"
The others also laughed unscrupulously, looking at Tang Zheng full of banter and ridicule.
"Dismount, or your head will bloom right away. The other party changed his story.
Tang Zheng pretended to be panicked and shouted, "I don't know you, are you going to kill me?"
"Hey, coward, come down. A person walked directly towards Tang Zheng with a gun.
Tang Zheng sat on the back of Tianma, condescending, if he fought back at this moment, he would definitely be able to achieve a surprise effect, but if he wanted to kill everyone, he might not be able to do it, besides, whether the other party only had these ten people in front of him, and whether there were other accomplices, these were all questions that Tang Zheng had to care about.
Therefore, he accurately waited for the change, he turned over and dismounted, and said in a panic: "Don't kill me, don't kill me." β
"Hmph, it's okay if you don't kill you, answer our questions obediently. Seeing that Tang Zheng was soft, the man obviously relaxed his vigilance, and said arrogantly.
"I said, I'll say anything, as long as you don't kill me. Tang Zheng looks like a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
Xiao Bai looked at Tang Zheng in surprise, and then at the other party's group of obviously ill-intentioned guys, grinning his teeth, as if he wanted to breathe fire.
Tang Zheng's eyes were quick, and he immediately hugged Xiaobai in his arms, if you roast these people, wouldn't it be exposed.
Xiao Bai quieted down in Tang Zheng's suspicions, but he stared at these ten people curiously with big eyes, and even Tianma stared at a few people intently.
The most powerful master in Tang Zheng's eyes walked in front of Tang Zheng, this person was only one meter six or five tall, but his whole body was imposing, making people breathless.
This person stared at Tang Zheng deadly, as if he wanted to see him through, but fortunately, Tang Zheng was well disguised, so he was not seen.
"You've always lived here, do you know what the west side is?" the man asked in a cold voice, pointing to the west.
