Shen Lijia and the others hid on the top of the mountain, not daring to move.

As the sun rose, they noticed that not only were the forests full of spies, but even the surrounding peaks.

The rocky mountains here are all bare, and there is almost no shelter at the top of the mountain, but fortunately, their mountain is relatively high, and lying on the top of the mountain will not be seen by the people on the mountain next to it. But as long as the two of them get up and go down the mountain, this guy is dressed in black and pants, and he will be easily discovered.

The strange Demon Soul Mountain Range, the huge and heavily guarded abrupt peak, what kind of place is this?

Whatever the place is, it's not easy.

The two of them may not have realized that far behind them, on some higher mountain, two pairs of piercing eyes were staring at them.

After waiting for a long time, when the spies from several nearby mountains went to other places, Hua Duxiu and the others immediately went down the mountain and returned to the dense forest at the foot of the mountain.

Shen Lijia was a little hairy: "This guard is too tight, isn't it?Brother-in-law, why don't we go back?"

Hua Duxiu said: "Where are you going? Since you are confused, how can you go back if you don't find out something?"

Shen Lijia said: "But this is not Soul Dangshan Mountain, there is no Demon Suppression Tower here. ”

Hua Duxiu said: "My brother, do you remember what I said just now?"

Shen Lijia asked: "You said several words, which one do you refer to?"

Hua Duxiu said: "I said, many things we hear and see, often are deliberately let the people hear and see by the superiors. ”

Shen Lijia was stunned: "Huh?"

"The Demon Suppression Tower is a very strange place, many people know it, and even many people have seen it, and they all say that the place is very evil, and there are evil demons suppressed there. If it's really that evil, the Imperial Sticky Rods Division has also circled it for thousands of years, why have so many people seen the Demon Suppression Tower?"

Shen Lijia said: "Is it because the Demon Suppression Tower is very high?

Hua Duxiu said: "There is some truth in what you say, but I think you still have to trust your instincts. My brother, do you think the mountain in front of us is abnormal?"

Shen Lijia said: "Of course it's not normal, not to mention the exaggeration of this mountain, there are still architectural remains on it, and these spies scattered around it are not normal." ”

Hua Duxiu nodded: "I also see it this way, there must be a problem here, but as for what the problem is, I can't say well." ”

Shen Lijia said: "Brother-in-law, but this mountain goes straight up and down, and if you want to go up the mountain, you can only climb up from the outside, and you can't hide it at all." ”

Hua Duxiu thought for a while and said, "Your speed is too slow, you wait for me here, I'll go by myself." In case I find out, I ran away by myself, and I can't run away with you. ”

Shen Lijia gritted his teeth, looked resentful, and said, "Brother-in-law, you dislike me again!"

Hua Duxiu patted Shen Lijia on the shoulder: "It's not disgust, it's okay if we act together at night, but it's daytime, and we're both dressed in black, how can we act together?"

Shen Lijia said: "Then wait until the evening to act together." ”

Hua Duxiu asked, "Aren't you hungry?"

"Gollum ......"

The stomach answered directly in place of Shen Lijia.

Hua Duxiu said: "I'll go over and take a look, and I'll come back after reading it, let's go back to the Demon Town, and look for the Demon Suppression Tower again when we are full of food and drink." ”

Shen Lijia said, "Okay! Then be careful." ”

Hua Duxiu said: "Don't worry. ”

Shen Lijia found a safe place to hide at the foot of the mountain, Hua Duxiu remembered his location, turned around and left.

I have to say that the tall stone mountain in front of me is really abnormal.

It is more than 300 zhang high, and stands there almost vertically like a stone pier. Normally, it is far higher than the surrounding rocky mountains, and anyone who is not blind can see it from afar.

But the strange thing is that if you don't get closer, you won't be able to see this huge stone mountain at all.

As long as it exceeds a certain distance, the stone mountain will disappear into the clouds and mist, and nothing can be seen.

Once you get close to within a few hundred feet, you can see it again.

What a weird stone mountain.

Hua Duxiu didn't let Shen Lijia follow, on the one hand, he was worried that Shen Lijia would not run fast enough after being discovered, and there would be danger, and on the other hand, Hua Duxiu didn't want Shen Lijia to know too much about the secrets of the so-called "demonic qi".

This is not to say that he has any cautionary eyes and deliberately wants to hide it from Shen Lijia, but to protect him.

At least until now, the Sticky Pole Division still has a tacit understanding that he is only arrested, and he has not moved Shen Lijia.

It shows that the sticky pole division also doesn't want a lot of things to get out, and they believe that Hua Duxiu won't talk nonsense, at least the existence of the animal skin fragments is unknown to the people around Hua Duxiu.

After all, Shen Lijia's self-preservation power is still a little worse, even if he knows some secrets, it is not now.

Hua Duxiu carefully avoided the increasingly dense dark whistles, and slowly approached the foot of the tall stone mountain.

The closer she got to this stone mountain, the more obvious the strangeness she felt in Hua Duxiu's eyes.

It's like a summer that has been cool for a long time.

It is comfortable and comfortable, like reuniting an old friend after a long absence, and like a tired bird seeing its homecoming.

It's hard to describe, and it's slightly different from the taste of animal skin fragments, but this feeling is definitely related to demonic energy.

At a position forty or fifty zhang away from the stone mountain, Hua Duxiu could not take a step forward.

Because there were too many spies patrolling back and forth in front of him, even at the speed at which he was almost without a trace, it was impossible to hide from everyone in front of him.

There's a problem here, there's definitely a big problem here!

Otherwise, why are there so many spies?

You know, the Sticky Pole Division is not the Governor's Palace, they don't have the military/power, their men and horses are secret agents, not the army, and the number can't be too much.

In Snake Valley, it would be a big deal to be able to send out forty or fifty people at a time.

And how many spies are there around this stone mountain?

There are more than four or five hundred, and I am afraid that it is close to a thousand.

These people are not government samurai, and judging by their dress, they are clearly the captains of the Sticky Pole Division.

There is definitely a problem, the more Young Master Hua ponders, the more itchy his heart becomes, this stone mountain, I have to go up to see it!

But in the current situation, it is unlikely that it will be impossible to break through or lurk.

Hua Duxiu quietly withdrew first.

He found a lone stake, knocked the man unconscious as fast as he could, and then took off his lieutenant uniform and changed into it himself.

Not to mention, this military uniform fits quite well on Young Master Hua.

Young Master Hua usually wears a boy's robe, and he is chic, but it is far less heroic than wearing a military uniform.

It doesn't work hard, it can't be lurking, it seems that you can only disguise yourself as one of you.

Hua Duxiu looked at the seized token, the token was made of iron, black, with no name on it, and the back was a pattern of sticky rods, and there was only one number on the front.

Coincidentally, the person who was stunned by Young Master Hua was his number 9527.

I think that at the beginning, when Young Master Hua deceived the four old men of the Bao family, the name of the casual nonsense was ninety-five-two-seven.

This is a good sign, last time I made it up, Young Master Hua grabbed a fragment of the map, this time?

Hey, hope something good happens this time!

Hua Duxiu wore the clothes of the captain of the sticky pole division to avoid the outer outposts and came to the outside of the camp, and walked inside generously.

After all, there are too many people stationed here, many people don't know each other, Hua Duxiu walked around like this, and took the initiative to nod and say hello to everyone he saw, making everyone look at him sideways, but no one said anything to ask.

What is the Sticky Pole Division?

It's an organization with the mission of assassination, espionage, and arresting key criminals.

Who are the people in the Sticky Pole Division?

They are all outcasts of some sects and masters of the rivers and lakes that the empire has recruited by various means.

In short, these people are different from the military, they have a stronger purpose and less discipline.

To put it bluntly, these people only work to see the benefits, and the purpose of joining the Sticky Pole Division is not to serve the people/people, either to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, or to obtain some resources in the hands of the Sticky Pole Division.

The work they do is all "dirty work" that does not see the sun, and the means are also varied.

For example, in order to capture a flower Duxiu, they can even collude with a bandit group to strangle an entire samurai army in the Governor's Palace.

But you can still get away with it.

Hua Duxiu is facing such a group of people.

They are still a group of people with relatively high quality among the secret agents of the Sticky Pole Division, after all, not everyone who joins the Sticky Pole Division is willing to stay in such a desolate place for many years.

In the same way, they are also a group of people who are more trusted.

But any task involving the word "demonic energy", even if it is standing guard here, not everyone can take it.

These people are all people who have been with the Sticky Pole Division for many years, have gained the trust of the organization, and are willing to drink the cold wind here.

But what about their sense of responsibility?

I'm afraid it's far inferior to the samurai in the army.

It is precisely because of knowing this that the more generous and easy-going Hua Duxiu is, the less suspicious the surrounding Sticky Rods spies will be.

Hua Duxiu deliberately stayed away from the camp to the east, because that was where he knocked out 9527 and snatched his clothes and tokens. On the way, he met a few people to check his waist card, and Master Hua showed his waist card generously, and sure enough, no one recognized him as a fake.

Even Young Master Hua had to ask rhetorically: "Brother, let me take a look at your waist card?"

What if someone recognizes me?

So what else can I do, run.

Anyway, with the strength of Young Master Hua, can't you run if you can't beat it?

Run far away and come back when it gets dark.

Come back to pick up Shen Lijia's pit goods.

In this way, Hua Duxiu circled around the huge stone mountain for half a circle, and secretly looked at the secret camp and the stone mountain.

The closer he got and the more he looked at it, the hairier his heart became.

Oh my god, what the hell is this place?

Is this mountain of stones really a natural formation?

It's really a miracle, the whole stone mountain is almost straight up and down, the huge straight stone mountain with a height of 300 zhang is not scary?

And when I got close to the stone mountain, the cool feeling of the hair that was like nothing was even stronger.

That's right, it's the feeling of demonic energy.

With so many people in the camp, aren't they worried about being eroded by the demonic energy contained in this mountain?

If you stay here for a long time, you will become irritable, paranoid, and neurotic.

Demonic energy has a great influence on people's spirits, and this influence is subtle.

This is a double-edged sword, for people like Hua Duxiu and Beiguo Tienan who can control demonic energy, demonic energy is a sharp weapon, and it can develop functions that are unimaginable by common sense.

But for the vast majority of ordinary people, demonic energy can only make people become more and more dark mentally.

After going around the stone mountain, Hua Duxiu learned more about this place after chatting with a few old brothers without a trace.

The bottom of the mountain is the bottom of the mountain, and a large number of secret agents in these camps are only responsible for guarding and guarding the surroundings, and no one is allowed to go up the mountain except for the commander.

What is on the mountain, no one knows except the commander.

Because there is only one way up the mountain, that is, to walk up the zigzag stone steps carved out of the mountain, but at the foot of the mountain, there are more than a dozen captains standing at the entrance of the stone steps at any time, and no one is allowed to pass.

Except for the Commander-in-Chief.

Hua Duxiu said secretly, it is impossible to break hard, even at night, it is in vain, after all, the area around the stone mountain is densely packed with the camp of the sticky pole division, and hundreds of thousands of people are guarding here.

It's blown up.

The point is that it's useless to just rush up, you still have to come down?

How do you get down after frying the pan?

But Hua Duxiu had to go up and take a look.

Isn't it useless if you don't look at it?

The demonic aura is so strong, what if there is any surprise on the top of the mountain?

For example, there's a map fragment hidden on the top of a mountain or something?

Don't miss it.

Hua Duxiu secretly made a decision.

If you want to go up the mountain, you must coerce the commander of the entire camp to come forward and ask him to take him up.

Then, coerce him to bring himself down.

Even, what exactly is on the top of the mountain, only the "Grand Commander" knows.

Hua Duxiu decided to get the commander!
