Chapter 175: Vigilance
Chapter 175: Vigilance
They looked the ugly ghost Lai up and down very vigilantly, and seeing that the two of them were not bad people, the person next to the campfire threw their own water bladder at them.
"Drink and leave, strangers are not welcome here. β
An indifferent tone came from the mouth of a man with a straw hat.
The campfire was still some distance from their tent, and Ugly Rai couldn't help but glance quietly in the direction of the tent, the scarlet fire light reflecting the tent's door curtain.
"Ahh β
There seemed to be something unusual in the tent, only a scream was heard.
The people next to the campfire couldn't help frowning when they heard this, and they immediately looked up at the reaction of the ugly ghost Rai and Niu Dazhuang.
Ugly Lay pretended not to hear anything, gratitatively took the water bladder, pretended to take a few sips and hurried away.
"How's that? Who is that? Can I negotiate with them?"
Seeing Niu Dazhuang coming back, Ye Luo asked one after another.
Ugly Rai shook his head.
"It should be a well-trained mercenary group, and now it should be the group of people standing guard next to the campfire, although they don't do it at will, but they don't accept strangers at all. β
"By the way, Boss, I just stumbled upon a scene inside their tent, and someone must have been hurt. β
Rai, the ugly ghost, suddenly remembered that she had just heard some unusual cries at the campfire, and added.
The words of the ugly ghost Lai seemed to evoke Niu Dazhuang's memories, and Niu Dazhuang continued very excitedly.
"Yes, yes, yes! I glanced at the tent while they weren't looking, but all I could see was a shadow on the ground, like a humanoid monster roaring. β
"Humanoid monsters?"
Xiao Yue'er smiled, Niu Dazhuang is really naΓ―ve, he actually used this word to describe the people over there, originally the shadows would have different sizes and shapes when they were reflected on the ground.
Seeing that the big guys were laughing at him, Niu Dazhuang was a little angry, and he was very firm in his position.
"It's really a humanoid monster, have you ever seen a person with a head like a demon beast?"
Regardless of whether what Niu Dazhuang said was true or false, Ye Luo over there would not be able to go over there anyway, in order to avoid conflict, Ye Luo led everyone to go around the side of the mountain bag where they had set up camp.
"Ye Luo, don't you think there's anything strange? Look at those tents, they must have been here for a long time. β
When passing sideways from the mountain bag, Qi Lao reminded Ye Luo in his heart, Ye Luo casually glanced at the tents, indeed, it is estimated that he has been here for at least two or three months.
In the tent.
"I feel like I'm dying, ah, my head, my head! my feet!" a dark green, ugly monster said in a human voice.
The men standing beside the monster were so frightened that they retreated, their swords clenched tightly in their hands, but they couldn't help but tremble.
This monster is actually a friend of theirs, and they returned to Desert Autumn for the second time a week ago.
After making a fortune there for the first time, the mercenary group returned to Desert Fall, this time discovering a huge cavern that led to the bottom of the mysterious lake.
The person who changed today was the deputy leader of the mercenary group, and he was the first to rush directly into the huge cave, and a few timid people saw that it was too dark inside to act rashly and stayed outside the cave.
Who knows that after an hour, a large number of people entered, and in the end, only a bloody bloody man came out, and the only person who survived was their deputy leader.
In a panicked mood, the few people who remained outside the cave carried their deputy leader back to their base camp, which was the location of the group of tents that Ye Luo saw today.
To the surprise of the entire mercenary group, the wounds of their negative leader were constantly gushing dark black hair.
As a result, today, their negative leader has directly mutated into an ugly demon beast.
Hearing the strange movement, the leader of the mercenary group who rushed to the tent saw the monster and directly pierced the monster's chest with the sword in his hand.
"Go, tell all the brothers to pack up quickly, and we must get out of this place at once. β
The leader of the mercenary group immediately decided, now that the desert autumn is completely unable to stay any longer, otherwise no one knows who will mutate next?
Ignorant of these conditions, Ye Luo's team was able to see the desert autumn forest from afar after three days of travel.
Walking in the desert in the past few days, the speed of the team's water resources is very fast, Ye Luo and the water source they brought before used up almost one-third, their team of only twenty people has such a large demand for water, I really can't imagine how they will survive if they are trapped in the desert.
"I felt like I had seen our forest, but it always felt a little weird, and the edge hadn't expanded so much when I left. β
The old elf introduced them to the forest.
"Now that we're all here, no matter what's happening in the forest, we still have to go in and see, but we just have to be more careful. β
After Ye Luo finished speaking, the group headed in the direction of the forest.
Autumn in the Desert lives up to its name, it is surrounded by a desert that stretches as far as the eye can see, but the trees here are very luxuriant, and the old elf tells everyone that this forest is protected by the gods.
They live in this land all year round, and only in the last few years have outsiders appeared to break their lives, they live in the hollows of trees in the forest, eat from the mountains, drink from the morning dew, feed on mushrooms and wild vegetables under the shade of the trees, and live here with infinite reverence for life.
"You follow behind me, I will take you to the territory of our Tianmu clan first. β
After entering the territory he was familiar with, the old elf couldn't hold back his emotions and became excited, and he didn't see that he was old at all, Ye Luo and they could understand the old elf's mood of being able to return to his hometown in his lifetime.
The environment of the desert autumn is very good, and even Xiao Yue'er, who has always been indifferent, is in a particularly bright mood when she walks on the forest path here.
It's just that the good times didn't last long, and when Ye Luo and the others followed the old elves to their Tianmu clan's territory, they found more than a group of uninvited guests.
"Who are you? How can you be entrenched in our Tianmu Clan's territory? The old elf said angrily.
"Who are you? Our five holy clans are resting here, and when we came here, it was already a barren place. β
A middle-aged man at the head said in a more amiable tone.
Hearing this, the old elf's heart trembled deeply, it turned out that their clan had not been spared.
If it is really the team of the five holy clans, then there should be no bandit behavior, Ye Luo thought to himself, can he see Mu Xiaoyu here?
Li Haoran almost exploded when he heard that this was the base of the Five Great Saint Clans, so wouldn't he still have to meet with a few of his brothers and sisters today? As soon as he thought of this, Li Haoran wanted to run away.
"Stinky boy, what are you running around, could it be that there is your sweetheart in that team?" Xiao Yue'er couldn't help but make fun of him when she saw Li Haoran's panicked appearance.
"You know what? I, I, I'm in a hurry!"
Li Haoran's face was red and his heart was ruthless, and he prevaricated when he found one casually.
Qi Lao reminded Ye Luo in Ye Luo's body to stay and watch a good show.
It's not early today, so I shouldn't be able to leave, since I am a member of the Five Great Saint Clans, there should be no problem with boarding for one night.
Ye Luo sent the ugly ghost Lai to negotiate with the people over there, and the people over there hesitated for a while, but seeing that they really couldn't find any place to live in this welfare, they reluctantly agreed to squeeze in with Ye Luo and their people for one night.
Originally, Li Haoran thought that he could still fool the past, but the result was that he thought too much, and he was caught by his third brother as soon as he stepped into the territory of the Five Great Saint Clans.
"Why are you standing here sneaky, boy. β
Li Haoran's third brother walked behind Li Haoran and patted him on the shoulder.
Li Haoran turned around and put on a grimace for a while, wanting to get by.
"Fifth brother, didn't you go out to travel alone? Why did you appear in someone else's sect now, if our father knew about it, he would have to pick your skin, do you think you can fool me by making a grimace?
Li Haoran's third brother dragged him to his tent by the ear as he spoke.
This made Ye Luo and the others dumbfounded, and none of them knew what was going on.
Li Haoran covered his ears in pain and didn't enter the tent, but he couldn't help it, and his third brother kicked him into the tent unceremoniously.
There were two young men and one woman in the tent.
"Big brother, second sister, fourth brother, who do you think I brought you here?"
The three people in the tent stared at Li Haoran for a long time, although they didn't believe how their fifth brother could appear here.
Next, you don't have to think about it to know what kind of family trial Li Haoran received, and his four brothers and sisters almost didn't eat him alive.
Li Haoran was thinking, they all said that the elders would love the younger generations, and he really didn't see it in their family, and your family dared to do such a heavy hand.
He covered his blue nose and swollen head, and slipped back to Ye Luo's side.
"I said, brother, did you go in and molest the women of the good family and were discovered?"
Seeing Li Haoran's miserable appearance, Ye Luo couldn't help but laugh.
The rest of the people did not sympathize with Li Haoran, and almost everyone was laughing at his new look.
Li Haoran suddenly felt that he had nothing to love, his own brother, and now he laughed at him so much.
Laughing and laughing, seeing that Li Haoran was able to come out of the tent of the five holy clans unharmed, Ye Luo concluded that Li Haoran must be a member of one of the five major families.
There are some things that don't need to be broken, and everyone knows it, but in the end, the ugly ghost Lai was kind-hearted and gave Li Haoran a little medicine.
Ye Luo also went to the outside of each tent of the five holy clans, and he was still a little disappointed that he didn't see Mu Xiaoyu, but when he thought of the uncertainty of the situation in the desert hills, he was more relieved that Mu Xiaoyu didn't come here.
Ye Luo and the others were now in the hinterland of the desert autumn, and after resting for a night, they and the people of the five holy clans began to search for the place that people said had countless high-level demon beasts.
During the day, almost all the sects and teams that arrived in the desert autumn were shuttling through the forest, which caused the forest to be full of people.
I don't know how Li Haoran and his brothers and sisters discussed, anyway, in the end, Li Haoran returned to Ye Luo's team.
"The current desert autumn people are more mixed, and we must put our own safety first when we move in the Qiankun Gate. β
Ye Luo was still uneasy when he went deep into the desert autumn, and instructed his subordinates.
"Uncle, I'll take you into the sky in a moment, and you can probably see where the mutation is, so that our team doesn't have to run around the forest. β
Just searching aimlessly in the woods would waste a lot of time, and Ye Luo had such an idea in his mind that it was more feasible.
After saying that, he took out the pair of flying machines made by Li Haoran, and he grabbed the old elf's shoulder and jumped up.
Flying into the air, the old elf's vision widened.
The old elf made a general observation, and after having a rough idea in his heart, he signaled to Ye Luo.
Ye Luo brought him back to the ground, and the old elf drew a sketch of the ground with a twig.
"Where we are right now is here. The old elf pointed to the southwest of the map with the branch, and then moved the branch to the northeast, "I just saw that there is a small lake in the northeast of Desert Autumn, and if I am not mistaken, it should be the place you are looking for." β
Now that they had a certain understanding of the other party's position, it was much easier for Ye Luo's team to march, and in one morning they reached the side of the mysterious lake that had become extra.
There are still fewer people who can come here than people on the periphery, but there are still a lot of staggering.
When they arrived, there were already people on the shore of the lake who began to bend down and search for something in the water.
Xiaobai and Xiaowu's sense of smell is a hundred times more sensitive than ordinary people, and when they walked not far from the lake, they excitedly threw down Ye Luo and rushed towards the lake by themselves.
"What are they looking for?"
