Chapter Thirty-Nine—Dawn Shadow
"Let's not talk about anything else, we're tired for a day, let's rest for a while! You go to sleep first, Zhao Yu and the two of us don't sleep first, pay attention to the movements around us! Let's not set up a tent tonight," Sorumi arranged.
"Yes!" The group of demon wolves responded. Speaking of which, Kongjian Zhao Yu and the others are constantly adding and dismantling to the fire.
At dawn, the swamp is breezy in the morning. Maybe it's because of the weather, but for some reason after the stars were hidden, there was no sign of morning light in the sky, and the swamp seemed even darker for a while! At dawn, it was the time when people were most asleep, and Zhao Yu by the fire was constantly "fishing". Kongjian also rested on the package, and let the fat man babble from time to time, so that Kongjian kept shaking his head after hearing it. "What the fuck? I don't let people sleep! After a burst of nonsense in a dream, Ren Fatzi woke up Shui Botao, Feng Yuyi, and Zhu Huang.
"Forget it, leave him alone!" Feng Yuyi yawned and said.
"Hmmm! ......" Suddenly, Huang Wengong snorted coldly.
"What's going on? What's the matter, don't scare me! It seems that Zhu Hengsheng has been frightened by the dark shadows at night.
"How do you feel like something is passing over our heads!" Huang Wengong looked at the night sky above his head and said.
"I'll go, don't be suspicious! Do you know that makes my heart hairy all the time! Zhao Yu was also frightened by Huang Wengong.
Just when everyone thought it was okay, Kong Jian, who was resting on the package, spoke: "If you say the same thing, Brother Huang, there is indeed something passing over our heads, and the body is not small!"
"Maybe it's just an owl, look at you two nervous nerves!" Zhao Yu said this, even he was nervous, he stayed with Kongjian for so long, he knew best what level Kongjian was!
"It's not an owl!" Sorumi said as he brushed his long hair from his temples.
"Sora, I rely on my intuition, how do you feel it!" Huang Wengong said.
"Wind!" Sorumi only said one word.
"Hmm, uh...... Sora, can you elaborate on that? Huang Wengong asked.
"We've been walking through a narrow valley for the other day, and we're in a flat, swampy area, so the wind is blowing from the narrow valley to the swamp we're in." Sorami said.
"And then?" The crowd asked.
"I wonder if you've noticed the wind? I sat facing the valley all the time, and the wind kept blowing in my face, blowing my temples behind my ears. But just then, an imperceptible breeze blew from the depths of the swamp and blew the hair on my sideburns to my cheeks! Sorami said.
"This ...... This...... It can't be just a coincidence! Zhao Yu said hesitantly, he also agreed with Kongjian's statement, but he couldn't believe it. The rest of them were bowing their heads and thinking silently.
"Huh! Scare you! It's almost dawn, there should be no danger, brothers, get a good night's sleep! Sorumi looked at his teammates with solemn faces and said with a smile.
"Kongjian ......" Huang Wengong's words were about to come out, Kongjian glanced at him and signaled him not to say any more, Huang Wengong had to shut up.
In the early morning of the next day, in a town market in Linshan Mansion, a lot of wine flags were really waving in the wind. Most of the bazaars are mercenaries selling elixir sprouts and seeds. At this time, a dusty couple came to a stable where a horse dealer was located, and said to the horse dealer indifferently, "Here are two Uya horses!" This young man thought that as a disciple of the Great Holy Dynasty's Great Sect Xuan Demon Sect, he had a sense of superiority when he spoke.
"Hmmm! 1,000 gold coins a horse! What I didn't expect was that the horse dealer treated the two of them very coldly, and the asking price was very high, and it seemed that there was no need to bargain.
"Why are you like this? This Uyama is only 500 gold coins at most, and you are asking for 1,000! The young man from the Xuan Demon Sect was still looking at Ma Si, but the woman on the side couldn't get used to it.
"What? If you can't grab it, Uncle Ben's horse is at this price, do you like to buy it! What I didn't expect was that the horse dealer didn't give him the slightest bit of a good look because she was a woman. Since Xuanling Mountain was the ultimate source of income for the families and other forces in the vicinity of Linshan Mansion, no one wanted to lose the opportunity. Therefore, all kinds of merchants, mercenaries, and darts in these small towns near Xuanling Mountain may be the eyes and spies of some big forces in Linshan Mansion, and they are responsible for monitoring the dynamics of Xuanling Mountain at all times, and once there is any disturbance in Xuanling Mountain, they will convey the information to the forces behind their scenes as soon as possible. Of course, since many businessmen, mercenaries have their own forces behind them, which is the so-called backstage, and naturally they will not be like some ordinary businessmen who are low-key to please customers. The first task of these people is to monitor the wind and grass in Xuanling Mountain, not to do business.
"There's no such thing as a business!" The man from the Xuan Demon Sect said in a threatening tone. In his opinion, although the dealer was clamoring, he was just a martial artist at the peak of the Ninth Rank Qi Cultivation Realm, and he was definitely not the opponent of him, a disciple of the Xuan Demon Sect in the early stage of the Second Rank Judan Realm.
"That's how Uncle Ben does business, what can you do?" What the man from the Xuan Demon Sect didn't expect was that the horse dealer became even more arrogant.
"Good, good! Just a thousand gold coins a horse! Look, these are two bronze cards! The man seemed to realize what was going on, and after throwing two bronze cards with the symbol of the Xuan Demon Sect to the horse dealer, he pulled the woman and led the horse. The so-called bronze card taken out by the young man of the Xuanmo Sect is equivalent to the "bank card" of the Xuanwu Continent, which is divided into: bronze card, silver card, gold card, platinum card, and diamond card, these five levels. 1,000 gold coins for the bronze card, 5,000 gold coins for the silver card, 10,000 gold coins for the gold card, 100,000 gold coins for the platinum card, and 1,000,000 gold coins for the diamond card. Maybe the man took out the bronze card symbolizing the identity of the Xuan Demon Sect to reveal his identity to the horse dealer, but what he didn't expect was that this might harm them.
After the couple of the Xuan Demon Sect rode horses and disappeared at the end of the market, two men appeared in front of the stable.
"How?" One of the two men who appeared in front of the stables said.
"It should only be the two disciples of the Xuan Demon Sect Gathering Dan Realm!" The horse dealer said.
"Of course I know this, what I'm talking about is whether they have anything valuable, or intelligence?" Another man said.
"Then how do I know! They're not stupid! The horse dealer said.
"Okay, I listened to the woman of the Xuan Demon Sect talking like a young lady of a big family who was not deeply involved in the world! As a daughter, I don't even have a mount, I think it's very suspicious! The man who spoke first said.
"Don't tell me next, they're eloping!" The horse dealer said with a sneer.
"Huh! Maybe that's true! But no matter what, the disciples of the Xuanmo Sect are not looking for opportunities in the deep mountains and old forests of Xuanling Mountain at this time, but there is something strange about appearing here, let's follow quickly! The other man went to the stable.
"Senior brother, let's go this way!" The woman from the Xuan Demon Sect looked at the bright light on the token in her hand and said to the man.
"Good!" The man said.
"Let's go! Keep up with them! "Just before the two disciples of the Xuan Demon Sect gathered in the Dan Realm, the two people who set off from the town market had already followed them.
With the advent of the warm season in the Xuanwu Continent, the afternoon sun became more warm.
"Sora, I have carefully examined the bones of the demon horse just now, and it was indeed bitten to death. And as you said, the group of black shadows last night was indeed not simple, one of the magic horses was directly bitten off the spine and died! What a bite force it takes! Next to the swamp on the side of Xuanling Mountain, Zhao Yu said to Kongjian.
"Let's go into the swamp, do you dare to go?" Kumi's proposal is hard to believe.
"If you don't go, stay and watch the horses!" Zhao Yu was the first to support Kongjian's proposal. In the end, no one from the Demon Wolf Squad remained, and they all cautiously walked towards the depths of the swamp with Sorami.
"Everyone, watch your step! This is our first time out of the mountain, so don't just plant it! Sorami, who was at the front of the line, said.
"What a big swamp, I don't know how much bigger than I imagined!" Zhao Yu said with emotion. The Demon Wolf Squad began to gradually go deeper into this stinking and mysterious swamp to find the mysterious black shadows of last night.
"Strange! Xuanling Mountain is frozen, but why is there no ice in this swamp? Ren Fat Man looked down at the mud in the swamp and said.
"Hehe, you are the heaviest here, you are still worried about yourself! Don't say we didn't warn you when you get stuck in the mud of the swamp! Zhu Hengsheng on the side is now specifically against Ren Fatzi.
"What Fat Ren said is right! This swamp is indeed suspicious! I originally thought that the water in the swamp did not freeze due to the large amount of biogas in the swamp, but now it seems that it is simple! It's okay, let's keep going! Sorami grabbed a handful of the mud in the swamp and looked at it and said to the group.
"How can there be no danger when you come out to practice! Where there is danger, there is an opportunity! Shui Wave said. The group of demon wolf squads have been walking in this psychedelic swamp for four days, but none of the team members have any intention of retreating.
But what everyone didn't expect was that the deeper the swamp went, the fresher the air seemed to become, very different from the stench of corruption beside the swamp.
At dusk on the fourth day, the couple from the Xuan Demon Sect finally drove to the edge of the swamp where Kongmi and his party had come, and of course there were two tails behind them.
"It stinks, brother!" The woman from the Xuan Demon Sect said.
"Phew! Don't go any further, Fumei! There is a swamp ahead, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the swamp and cannot extricate yourself! The young man from the Xuan Demon Sect hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse and called his junior sister.
"Damn, how could they have come to such a desolate place with the eggs of the silver feather eagle. I thought they would be able to get back to their forces as quickly as possible! The woman on horseback complained, she didn't expect Sorumi and his party to come to this swamp where birds don't poop.
"Sister Fu, it can't be that the mark is wrong! It doesn't feel like it's normal! The young man on horseback also wondered, but he didn't expect that he had been tracking for four days tiringly, but in exchange for this result.
