......

The undercurrent in the middle of the Xianlong Secret Realm is surging, and the dark forest that has fallen into dead silence has also ushered in a small pebble that has broken the Mirror Lake.

A group of people squatted cross-legged in the grass outside the dark forest, some wearing blue, some wearing vermilion, and some wearing the clothes of the Yellow Tiger Mercenary Group, their group of people from all forces were mixed in a team at this moment, and a man in a pure black robe with white hair was surrounded by them in the center, as if he was their leader.

"Boss Xia, are we really going to enter the dark forest? there is not even light in it, and there seem to be many monsters. A mercenary of the Yellow Tiger Mercenary Regiment said.

Xia Qian glanced at him: "Listen, according to the information obtained by my Blood-Eyed Crow, an extremely fierce dispute is about to break out in the middle of the Xianlong Secret Realm, and the forces of the Quartet may all face each other, and when the time comes, the dark forest may be safe." ”

A man belonging to the Yuhan Sect of the East China Sea said, "Boss Xia, can you tell us the information you have got? We kind of want to know what's going on over there." ”

The Pan family next to him echoed: "Yes, although it doesn't sound good to say this, but there is always a feeling of a headless fly, although we believe in you, but ......"

Xia Qian said coldly: "Even if I tell you, you are the same as me in the acquired realm, but both strength and intelligence gathering ability are far inferior to me, even if I tell you information, you can't determine whether it is true or false, it is better to listen to my orders alone to unite." We are subordinates of the group of leaders, and it is better to survive as a group than to become pawns in their fight for the mark. ”

The three mercenaries, the three Pan family members, and the two blue-clothed demon slayer were all silent, after all, Xia Qian was kind to them and helped them avoid at least three demon beast attacks.

"Alright, let's go inside. Watch out for intermittent winds in the Dark Forest, and I'll spread out to help us avoid the winds and monsters. Also, don't pick any rare herbs you see, because that is likely to lead to youkai. Xia Qian said skillfully. He was a pioneer spy himself.

The group slowly entered the dark forest, Xia Qian summoned more than ten blood-eyed crows to release them in all directions of the dark forest, as long as there was any abnormal movement, he could know it as soon as possible.

After walking for about half an hour, Xia Qian suddenly trembled, and the people around him eagerly asked him what happened, but he didn't seem to hear it, and his eyes looked straight ahead.

After a moment, Xia Qian's vision switched to the main body.

"Follow me. ”

Everyone followed Xia Qian's sudden eager pace and ran in the direction of the forest path, they didn't understand why Xia Qian, who was concerned about safety, suddenly accelerated, but after a few minutes they understood.

Four unrecognizable human corpses lay in the middle of the forest road, their tattered flesh as if they had been eaten by multiple beasts. Bones were shattered, all organs were emptied, even the blood and marrow were sucked away, and even the clothes were turned into rags by corrosive saliva.

"It's made by the 'dark beast species', and even the bone marrow has been eaten, how hungry are you. Xia Qian squatted down and examined the corpse without being dirty, and the demon slayer of the Pan family and the Yuhanmen of the East China Sea behind him had never seen such a disgusting scene in their lives, so they immediately retched. Several members of the mercenary group calmly reckoned with disdain.

Xia Qian found that there were still a few relatively intact rags under the corpse, and when he took them out, he found them very familiar;

"This is the Qingshan people!"

"What do you mean?" asked the person next to him.

Xia Qian: "They are the fifth force, the direct disciples of the Shanghe Sect." ”

"Shanghe Sect, one of the five seats of the Demon Alliance?" "Nonsense, otherwise?"

Xia Qian lowered his head and groped twice, and said, "The dark forest has no light all day long, and the temperature is too low, but it is certain that they did not die today, it should be yesterday." Yesterday, the eighteenth person died in one day, and it is estimated that the Qingshan people are also inside. ”

"Then how are they cultivating, and how strong are the dark beasts that killed them?" asked a mercenary.

"This ...... Perhaps they all transcended the innate realm. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, the monks of the Innate Realm were ruthlessly killed and eaten in the dark forest, so didn't their group of people come in the day after tomorrow to look for death?

"Summer ...... Boss Xia, can we get out of the dark forest, it's a little too dangerous here. "A Pan family is struggling.

"It's dangerous here, yes, but trust my Bloodeyed Raven. I can hide their information from the innate cultivators of the Qingshan Clan, and I can protect you in the dark forest where the dark beast species is hiding. Don't forget that we're in the same boat now, and if I die, I won't be able to run away like you. Xia Qian said calmly.

If Su Hao heard Xia Qian's words, he would definitely be surprised. When did Xia Qian's personality mutate and become such a good person, not only planning for irrelevant people, but also being responsible. It can simply refresh the three views of onlookers.

"My blood-eyed crow has been found again, and there is no monster movement within a radius of two kilometers, please allow me to go deeper with me as you willfully ask. ”

"Since Boss Xia said so, of course we followed. "Yes, yes, we believe in you. ”

In fact, everyone had no choice but to tremble and accompany him deeply. The people of the Yellow Tiger Mercenary Group are okay, and their sense of security is slightly higher than that of others.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the density of the aura in the air suddenly increased by a steep level. Not only Xia Qian, but even everyone felt it.

Xia Qian was very surprised by the scene in front of him, the pitch-black trees were pierced through the ground, the severed ones were cut off, and the stumps and leaves fell into a ball, so it was not a mess. But there were surprisingly no bodies here.

"This kind of spiritual mark cannot be created unless it is an innate quality. Xia Qian observed for a while and came to a conclusion, and the others were stunned. And Xia Qian amazingly picked up a tiny semi-circular ball in the pile of trees, and the semi-circular ball was full of cracks, and it seemed that it was no longer usable.

"It's a magic weapon. So far, I can almost conclude that there is an extremely powerful presence in the Dark Forest. Qingshan came prepared, and the team configuration was at the top of the Xianlong Secret Realm, but it suffered an unexpected heavy blow here. Even the innate monks who were of the highest grade could not get the benefits, and they could be defeated or even die. ”

One said, "Is it the Dark Beast Species?"

Xia Qian: "I don't know, but it's definitely not the kind I encountered before, you don't see any traces left by a beast on these broken woods." ”

Is it small and agile? No, monks with common sense will not use powerful spells against such monsters when fighting. Moreover, such wanton destruction of the surrounding environment will also attract the attention of other monsters hiding in the dark forest.

Perhaps the monk had reached a point where he could not take care of everything.

While he was thinking, the timid Pan family called out again: "Boss Xia, it's almost over, we ......"

Anyway, after finding out the reason why the tigers in Qingshan fell to Pingyang, Xia Qian didn't continue to investigate: "Okay, let's go back to the periphery of the forest." ”

Hearing Xia Qian say this, the followers who only wanted to protect themselves were very happy. Xia Qian did not live up to their trust, and this time he was very safe.

But suddenly, the silence of the forest was broken by the sound of a "whirring" wind. Xia Qian's complexion changed drastically.

"Yin wind, how did it blow out of thin air?" Obviously, not a single blood crow touched the yin wind.

The Yin Wind is a dangerous signal from the Dark Forest to outsiders, and if you stay in the Yin Wind for a long time, then the terrifying enemy will soon arrive!

Everyone was shocked, but before they could say anything to blame Xia Qian, a gray shadow flashed in front of them.

Immediately afterward, a large gray mist surrounded and poured in from all directions without warning, and a humanoid shadow was reflected in the long gray mist. Then, the fog receded, and the true face of the comer appeared in front of everyone.

A person, an old man with dry brown skin and an old face and a rickety body. His eyes were hollow and indifferent like those of a rotting corpse crawling out of hell, and his voice was like a sharp and piercing voice coming from a broken bellows.

"One, two, three, four...... Eight, nine, nine people, when it comes to tonics, barely enough. ”
