Dongxue also came out of the tent in the distance, she looked at the grass under her feet in surprise, and said loudly: "Come and see, why is this grass withered?"

Everyone gathered around, and saw that the grass around the Dongxue tent was charred and withered in a large circle, as if it had been baked by the high temperature.

Shi Jiu turned around and said, "I remember yesterday when distributing supplies, Dongxue, you were worried that the ice and fire attribute of your cultivation would affect everyone, so you lived a little farther away, are these grasses caused by the fire attribute battle star when you cultivated?"

Dong Xue paused for a moment and said, "But last night I was always cultivating the power of the battle star of the water attribute, and only in the early morning did I briefly review the fire attribute, wouldn't it be like a barbecue around me with just a moment of cultivation?"

Duan Wushuang said: "What's the fuss about this, it can only prove that Sister Dongxue's battle star power is too strong!"

Shi Jiu said: "I hope what Wushuang said makes sense." This matter is very strange, although we have not yet reached the mountain beams and valleys where the spirit beast group really gathers, but we must not take it lightly. ”

Luo Changfeng said: "Shi Jiu is right, we set off today, Brother Tu and I are at the front of the team, Lao Scar and Dongxue are in the middle of the team, protecting Wushuang, Xiang Nan and Ji Yanan, and Popa, who are slightly weaker, and the tail of the team is guarded by Shi Jiu and Brother Tie to ensure that everyone advances and retreats together!"

Tu Xiaorui said with appreciation: "This arrangement is very good!"

Everyone packed their bags, simply ate some dry food they carried, and set off towards the depths of Sunset Valley according to the prior arrangement.

After turning over the first mountain beam, the painting style in front of me suddenly changed.

Behind them is a tourist resort with beautiful scenery and pleasant air, but in front of them are barren mountains with strange rocks and overgrown weeds.

Could it be that this is a gathering place for spirit beasts?

Tie Chao saw everyone's doubts, and he said: "It is indeed a gathering place for spirit beasts in front of everyone, but most of the people living here are some low-level spirit beasts with weak beast core attributes. ”

Hearing Tie Chao say that there were all low-level spirit beasts here, Duan Wushuang's nervous face once again glowed with excitement.

Tie Chao continued: "Only by crossing the next mountain beam can we advance to the gathering place of high-level spirit beasts with hunting value! Do you see those caves on the mountain? There are many low-level spirit beasts living in them!"

Everyone followed his fingers, and sure enough, they saw that there were some caves arranged in a staggered manner on the gentle part of the mountain beam, and these caves had obvious traces of artificial excavation and repair, no wonder Tie Chao said that this was the exclusive place for the royal family to raise spirit animals.

Luo Changfeng said: "Hehe, these people now are not children who have just entered school, I don't think anyone will be interested in low-level spirit beasts." So, let's move on and try to climb over the second mountain today!"

Tie Chao said: "This time I'll lead the team in front! After all, I am familiar with the mountainous terrain here, and I can try not to alarm the group of spirit beasts on the mountain, although they are all low-level spirit beasts, but we can't afford to provoke these guys and be attacked by them in groups!"

Luo Changfeng said: "Okay, Brother Tie and I will change positions, and everyone will leave immediately, try to talk and talk as much as possible, even if you want to communicate, it is only limited to secret sounds." ”

Everyone behind Luo Changfeng agreed.

Luo Changfeng continued: "Everyone should take care of the front and back, left and right, and be sure to bypass the gathering place of these low-level spirit beasts before it gets dark!"

After Luo Changfeng finished speaking, he exchanged positions with Tie Chao.

Now that Tie Chao and Tu Xiaorui are leading the way at the front of the team, they have reduced their speed to very slow.

Due to Tie Chao's familiarity, they successfully passed through the second mountain beam, and the whole process did not alarm a spirit beast.

Everyone crossed the second mountain beam, and everyone felt that the depressed mood could finally be relieved, but it was too late to celebrate happily, and they were already stunned by the scene in front of them.

Smoke hung from the endless ridges, all the trees on the hillside had been burned, and some of the blackened, burned, bald stumps were still emitting smoke from the burning.

Tie Chao shouted in surprise, "What happened? How did this place be burned like this?"

Shi Jiu said: "Judging from the signs of burning, this fire should have started yesterday, no wonder Xiang Nan said that there was an inexplicable fear, it must be related to the burning here!"

Ou Chufei took a closer look at the ashes that had burned in the valley and said, "This kind of burning mark is too strange, too strange!"

Shi Jiu asked, "Ou Chufei, you are a fire attribute battle star, do you see the problem of burning here?"

Ou Chufei said: "The flames burned here are not like ordinary fire-attribute spirit beasts, but they are even less like human arson, which is why I said it is strange!"

Dongxue lowered her head and muttered: "I should have told you that the Divine Spirit Beast Kiss has both fire and water attributes, and its fire attribute is a paving attribute. Could it be ... ”

Shi Jiu said: "Don't rule out this possibility, it seems that it will not be smooth for us, don't take it lightly!"

Dongxue thought for a while and said, "Last night, the dead grass caused by the high temperature around my tent is also related to the situation here?"

Shi Jiu said, "If it wasn't caused by your cultivation, it should be related to the mountain fire here! I don't know how this fire started?"

Tie Chao said: "I have been here many times in the past, and I have never seen an inexplicable mountain fire, nor have I ever seen a spirit beast that can produce such a domineering flame!"

Shi Jiu said: "If it is man-made, it is even more impossible. Burning down the entire mountain beam overnight is by no means an ordinary mountain fire!"

Luo Xiaopang asked, "What should we do? Do you continue to hunt spirit beasts? If not, let's go back now!"

Shi Jiu said: "We are already here, it seems that this fire is deliberately done by someone, this is a gift to welcome us." ”

Brother Scar said: "As the saying goes, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, and if it comes, it will be safe, and it doesn't matter if it's a man or a beast, how can you understand it!"

Shi Jiu nodded and said, "What Old Scar said is completely correct! Going back now is not necessarily the wisest decision, and besides, we have no way back!"

Shi Jiu looked at the surrounding mountains, this place was obviously higher than the height of the two mountain beams in front, if it weren't for the burning of the trees all over the mountain, the scene in front of him should be more like a place where spirit beasts gathered.

Tie Chao said that most of the spirit beasts in this royal family's beast hunting ground lived in caves, so Shi Jiu and the others stood at the pass of the mountain beam, carefully looking and searching, hoping to find a cave like the second mountain beam in the surrounding mountains.
