In this way, this group of people who went up the mountain to hunt for treasure was finalized, headed by Lei Zhenlie, plus the Lin family, the Wang family, the Chen family, and the Guiyuan Sect, these four families were supplemented, and the remaining more than 100 martial arts people were all elite masters from all over the world.

Lei Zhenlie waved his hand, "Okay, big guy, cheer up, strive to be able to go up the mountain tomorrow and set off!" ”
So under the leadership of Lei Zhenlie, the team of more than 100 people drove to the West Kunlun Snow Mountain, from here to the foot of the West Kunlun Mountain there are still more than 500 kilometers away, and this road can not be opened to traffic, can only walk.
Fortunately, these more than 100 people are all martial arts masters, and it is effortless to move forward in the snow with mountaineering baggage, and it is even faster than those professional mountaineering teams.
If it is an ordinary person, even if it is a professional mountaineer, it is very difficult to hike in this more than a foot thick snowfield, and it is not possible to go far in a day, but this team is all martial arts masters, and each of them is very good, so the speed of advancing in the snow is not affected at all, and the cold temperature is not a problem for them at all.
If ordinary people want to cross these more than 500 kilometers of snowfield mountain roads, it will take at least seven or eight days, but if these martial arts masters go well, two days will be enough.
The first day's journey was quite smooth, from morning to noon, it had already walked a hundred kilometers, and at noon, Lei Zhenlie ordered everyone to stop and rest, and people were cooking and resting in the snow.
Lei Zhenlie sat alone on a big rock, took out a braised pork leg, gnawed and drank wine, and at the same time served as a vigilance, in terms of his martial arts, the wind and grass within a radius of one kilometer could not escape his ears and eyes, especially on the endless snowfield, it was a wide field of vision.
During the meal, the Yue brothers and Ye Tian were together, and the three of them temporarily became a group.
After lunch, Lei Zhenlie led the people to continue to move forward, and the group continued to rush under his leadership, walking more than 100 kilometers without stopping.
By nightfall, they had traveled more than 250 kilometers, and they had successfully completed the first day's journey.
The group stopped in a large forest, intending to camp here for the night.
These more than 100 people are all from the martial arts, and they are not afraid of any wild beasts when they spend the night in this primeval forest, even if there are large wolf packs, they will not pose any threat to these people at all.
People took out their tents in their bags, more than 100 tents were set up in the woods, dozens of bonfires were lit, and people cooked and chatted on their own fires.
After eating, and resting for a while, the people went into their tents to rest, and after a night of driving in the snow, everyone was a little tired.
Ye Tian, who was lying in the tent, did not fall asleep immediately, because he had been a mercenary, his alertness was higher than that of ordinary martial arts people, and he always felt that something was wrong since he entered this forest, but he didn't know what was wrong.
There was silence all around, only a slight snoring sound, and the silence was terrifying.
Ye Tian suddenly realized in his mind that the reason why something was wrong was here! It's the height of summer, and even though it's a plateau and the climate is cold, the forest can't be so quiet in this season, and there will always be some animals.
But since they entered this forest during the day, they have not seen a living thing, not even a bird in the sky, and the ground is very clean, without any traces of animal activity, as if this forest has nothing but trees!
"No, this is a primeval forest, and it stands to reason that it is a very suitable place for animals to live, and this kind of forest is generally full of life, and squirrels and wolves are the most suitable places for animals with strong survival ability. There are no signs of animals here, there must be something wrong here! ”
Thinking of this, Ye Tian couldn't sit still any longer, he got out of the tent, quietly came to the snow outside the camp, and began to explore the surrounding forest with his spiritual power, trying to find the animals hidden here.
But to his surprise, his mental power didn't find any animals! Within two kilometers of him as the center, there was a dead field, and there was not a single living animal!
"It's impossible, there is no animal activity in such a large forest, how can it be!" Ye Tian couldn't help frowning and thinking.
At this moment, only one person's voice was heard behind me.
"This old brother, can't you sleep in the middle of the night?" This voice is thunderous!
Ye Tian was startled, but he immediately calmed down, and when he looked back, he saw Lei Zhenlie standing under a tree a few meters away, looking at him with interest.
Ye Tian immediately said: "Lei is in charge, don't you think it's strange?" Such a large area of primeval forest, there is not even a single animal, this is obviously abnormal. I just sensed something was wrong and wanted to check it out. ”
Lei Zhenlie's eyes immediately showed a look of approval, and said: "I didn't expect that your brain is also very bright, brother, unlike those fools in the tent, who know how to sleep." ”
"Thank you for the compliment, then you also noticed the problem." Ye Tiandao.
Lei Zhenlie looked at the vast snow and towering trees around him, and said: "Yes, I have felt that there is a problem since I entered this forest, but this is the only way up the mountain, and I can't go around it, I can only go through this forest." I don't know what's wrong with this wood, but as long as I can get through here safely and without accidents, I'm content, and I don't have the energy to study the oddities of this place. ”
Ye Tian immediately understood what Lei Zhenlie meant, he didn't want to make extraneous troubles, he just wanted to pass through this forest as soon as possible on the premise of ensuring safety, so he didn't want to pursue it more.
At this moment, suddenly a human scream came from the camp in the distance, which seemed very piercing in the silent forest.
Lei Zhenlie's face changed, "It's not good, something happened!" As soon as he finished speaking, he ran towards the camp.
Ye Tian was also startled, and ran back to the camp after him.
When the two of them returned to the camp, they were awakened by the screams of more than a hundred people, and the bonfire immediately lit up the forest.
Lei Zhenlie pushed aside the crowd, came to the middle of the camp, and asked, "What's the matter?" Who just called it? ”
At this time, I saw a young woman rushing into the crowd with a frightened face, and said to Lei Zhenlie: "Oh no, Lei is in charge, there are ..... and some people are dead!" ”
Lei Zhenlie's eyes flashed, "Where?" Take me there! ”
The others were all startled, and everyone ran to a tent next to Lei Zhenlie and the woman together.
Ye Tian saw that the tent was torn open, blood flowed out of it, staining a large area of snow red, and from the outside, he could vaguely see that there was a man covered in blood inside, this man was lying motionless in the tent, lifeless, obviously dead.
After Lei Zhenlie walked into the tent, he observed for a while before coming out.
At this time, several elders gathered around and asked about the situation.
Lei Zhenlie said with a serious expression: "It was Jiangdong Ma Da who died, he was killed in his sleep, his method was extremely cruel, his chest was torn open, and his heart was gouged out. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in fright, this tent with a big face was on the periphery of the camp, less than fifty meters away from everyone's tents, such a tragedy happened so closely, but no one noticed that this murderer must be a master!
Lei Zhenlie immediately asked the young woman, "How did you find the body?" ”
The woman cried and said, "I got up in the middle of the night to think about convenience, and when I passed by this tent and saw blood flowing out of it, I knew that something was wrong. ”
Lei Zhenlie immediately squatted on the ground and looked at it, his face couldn't help but be shocked, but he didn't say anything.
Ye Tian clearly saw the shock on Lei Zhenlie's face, he must have found some terrible signs, but it was not good to come out in public.
At this time, the elder of the Chen family said: "Lei is in charge, this murderer actually succeeded under our noses, and his martial arts are only afraid that they are not under you!" ”
The implication of this is that Lei Zhenlie is the person with the highest martial arts here, if he can't find out that the murderer committed the crime, then this murderer's martial arts are at least a master of practicing the god realm!
Lei Zhenlie lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "I went outside the camp just now to check, something is wrong in this forest, there is not even a single animal. As a result, when I checked, this murderer chose to do it, he must have been secretly monitoring us for a long time, and knew everything about our every move! ”
As soon as these words came out, people were all trembling with fear, and the thought of a murderer with superb martial arts hidden in the shadows made them all feel cold in their hearts.
"So what do we do now?" The elder of the royal family asked.
Lei Zhenlie frowned and said, "Continue to sleep, you can't be messed up by him." However, everyone slept in three shifts, and someone had to keep vigil. ”
So under the command of Lei Zhenlie, the people were divided into three shifts and took turns to sleep.
Ye Tian and Lei Zhenlie were assigned to the first shift, and the others continued to go back to sleep with anxiety, as for Ma Da's face's body, he had no time to deal with it now, so he could only dig a pit and bury it, and then notify his family to clean up the bones after the matter was over.
After being busy for a while, when everyone returned to the tent to rest, Ye Tian and more than 30 people who were on vigil guarded all sides of the camp, guarding around the bonfire.
At this time, Lei Zhenlie came over and separated the others, and then said to Ye Tian: "Brother, you have a bright brain, what do you think is going on?" ”
Ye Tian was flattered, Lei Zhenlie did not discuss with the other elders, but took a fancy to him, knowing that his ability was stronger than those elders.
Ye Tian frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't have a clue at the moment, maybe this person wants to intimidate us, scare us away, and then swallow the treasure alone." Other than that, I can't think of any other possibility. ”
Lei Zhenlie shook his head and said, "Even if this trick can scare away the guts, what is the use of me?" I don't think he's trying to scare people, and I just found a strange detail that didn't come out when there were a lot of people. ”
Ye Tian was stunned for a moment and asked, "What details?" ”
Lei Zhenlie replied in a low voice: "There is a strange line of footprints outside Ma Da's tent, none of our people's footprints are like that, because this footprint looks like a three-year-old child!" ”
