Chapter 066: Ambush
"There's more than one...... There are seven people in total," came Kui Ling's slightly hesitant voice from the stone on Yun's chest.
"In this deep mountain and old forest, how can anyone appear, this place is basically close to the deepest part of the mountain range, it is impossible for ordinary hunters to come here, even if it is a passing businessman, they will not choose such a deep mountain range to hurry?" Yun squatted down and muttered loudly, his tone full of doubts. I couldn't help but have a bad premonition in my heart, something should be happening.
"It's not that simple, I can sense that this group of people are all Quartes, and there are also Imperial Rank masters ......among them," Kui Ling said softly.
Just a few hundred meters in front of the clouds, several men dressed almost identically, all dressed in black robes, with indifferent expressions, were looking around for something.
One of them looked like the leader, wearing a black cloak and a black coat that covered half of his face, and only the man's exposed chin could be faintly seen.
"Looks like this group of people is looking for something......" Yun said as he looked at the people in front of him.
"Wait...... These Rao dress up...... It looks familiar," Yun frowned, as if trying to remember something.
"It's the Witch Pavilion......" Yun suddenly remembered that these people in front of him were the mysterious forces with ill intentions at the exhibition before.
"That's right...... That's them...... I still had a question just now, the evil spiritual power emitted by this black-robed master seems to be familiar...... It turned out to be them," Kui Ling also just reacted, as if he suddenly realized.
"These barren mountains and mountains, what are they doing here? definitely not coming to me, looking at their sneaky appearance, they shouldn't be doing anything good......" Yun's eyes revealed a sense of disgust, and he muttered with disdain.
"Didn't they keep an eye on the cold moon, how could they suddenly appear here......" Kui Ling said suddenly. Yun, who was already planning to turn around and go back, felt bad for a moment when he heard the cold moon.
At this moment, behind the group of men in black, an extremely fast beast rushed to the front and stopped in front of the leader of the black cloak. A man who was also dressed in a black cloak jumped down from the beast, walked quickly to the leader, and arched his hand, "Lord Heimu, the Lord of the Seven Peaks has something important to discuss, and you can return to the camp if you need it."
"What's important?...... They're here early......" The black-cloaked man's lips moved slightly, muttering in his voice.
"Hmm......" The man in the cloak turned around and nodded slightly, and replied in a low voice. After receiving a response, the man turned around and stepped onto the beast, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Then, the group of mysterious men in black also began to turn around and walk back.
Hundreds of meters away, the clouds poked their heads out, sticking out their ears to listen to their conversation.
"They—who are they? Are they...... I always feel like they're planning something that can't be forgiven......" The more Yun thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
"Why don't we go along and have a look......" Yun said to Kui Ling.
"I think it's better to forget it...... More is better than less, and this witch spirit pavilion is very evil, and the masters are like clouds, so don't provoke them easily......" Kui Ling immediately objected.
"I don't agree... I still have to go and see, I always feel unsteady, this group of people looks so eerie and terrifying. And listening to them, it seems that they are waiting for someone here...... Could it be that he is waiting for the royal family" Yun pondered for a moment and shook his head.
Seeing that the group in front of him was about to go away, Yun hurriedly followed before Kui Ling could speak. Kui Linggang wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it, Yun's words were not completely unreasonable.
If he is forced not to save his friends, it will definitely not work, and now he can only take one step at a time.
The group had not gone far before they came to a clearing in which several strange beasts were parked, just like the man had ridden. Several people turned over their mounts and galloped away in the direction where the man in black had disappeared.
The clouds also began to speed up, and the most they did these days was running back and forth in this forest, so it was not too difficult to chase at the moment.
After about a quarter of an hour of chasing, the man in black began to slow down, and finally after passing through a dense forest of smoke and miasma, the man in black stopped, and the man in black walked towards a hole.
Although the entrance to the cave is very large, and the entrance is as high as a dozen zhang, it is still hidden behind this smoke miasma forest.
There was a faint glow of fire coming out of the cave, and around the cave there were more than a dozen black-clothed men guarding, and several of them got off their mounts and walked in quickly.
"Master, I can't get closer, I can sense that the spiritual power in this cave is extremely strong, and there should be a supreme master...... And there are traces of spirit beasts in it...... If you go any further, you will be easily discovered," just when he was seven or eight hundred meters away from the cave, Kui Ling whispered in the ear of the cloud.
Then the cloud leaped to a very dense tree, stood on a branch, and looked out into the cave.
After a while, there was a faint sound of a few people talking in the cave, and Yun leaned his ears hard, listening intently, intermittently talking, although he couldn't hear it very clearly, but he could roughly hear some of the content.
"How is it? Have you found the eight-legged dragon crocodile?" In the cave, the light was very dim, and in the middle of a table, a lean middle-aged man in purple and black clothes, asked in a hoarse voice, behind each man stood a guard, the guards were dressed in purple and black clothes, and there were some differences from the previous team of black-clothed people, the two guards were masked, looking very mysterious.
"Back to the Seven Peaks Lord, it's still ...... No, the eight-legged dragon crocodile's trail has been lost in the outer layers of the mountain range, and I judge that it should not have entered the depths of this mountain range......" The black cloaked man's tone became extremely respectful, and there was even a hint of fear
"Forget it...... They have already fled for more than a dozen. By the way, they had just received information from the Iron Wire Eagle, and they had set off ahead of schedule, and at this time they should have reached the hundred-foot peak fifty kilometers away. We don't have much time......" The lean man said in a slightly weak tone, but in the slightly faint voice, there was an irresistible oppression
"What?eight-legged dragon crocodile?" Yun's body trembled slightly when he heard the name.
"Could it be that the eight-legged dragon crocodile is...... How could I be here for no reason......" Kui Ling said as if he had come to his senses, and then a look of shock came over him.
"Listening to what they mean, it seems that they have been locking up this eight-legged dragon crocodile before, how much ability do these people have, they can casually lock up an ancient spirit beast like a domestic animal......" Yun was surprised.
"Looking at this battle, it is estimated that you guessed it correctly by the master...... They must have come for the cold moon......" Qui Ling said softly.
"Looks like we're going to have to get involved this time......" Quiling muttered to himself.
"If that's the case, then the royal family will definitely pass by here, the people of the Wuling Pavilion want to ambush here, and the royal family will be caught off guard......" Yun Dun felt a chill down his spine, it seems that the royal family's way home this time will not be too smooth.
The first thing Yun thought of was the princess, to be honest, Yun basically didn't pay much attention to Han Yue, mainly worried about the princess's comfort, after all, the princess still took good care of herself and Zixiu before.
Yun frowned, his mind spinning, thinking about countermeasures
"No, I have to tell them in advance, otherwise the royal family will definitely suffer...... Hundred feet peak, I know that place" Yun held the branch beside him hard, and his fingers were unconsciously sinking deep into the wood.
At this moment, a figure behind him suddenly came and galloped towards Yun's back......
