A map?

An Ran immediately thought that this map should be the map of the empty mountain valley. The empty mountain valley, one of the four forbidden places for adventurers, is still very tempting for the adventure alliance.

So, they took down the map and wanted to conquer the empty mountains and valleys according to the map.

However, this is not the case.

Xia Qinghe continued: "The Adventure Alliance is about credibility, we didn't do anything with the brocade box and the maps in the brocade box, but packaged it and sent it to the employer. ”

"Since the employer didn't leave any information other than a check and a power of attorney, we had to send it back to the sender's address when it came."

"But ......"

Xia Qinghe frowned, the beard on the side of his mouth also wrinkled, and muttered: "We sent it five times, and each time it was returned, all the courier companies said that there was no place at No. 88 Xianxia Road." ”

"I also sent someone to find out, not only Qingcheng does not have this place, all cities do not have this place."

The more An Ran listened, the more he felt that this mysterious person was deliberate, and he didn't even think about taking the brocade box back. Perhaps, he just wanted the Adventure League to see the map inside.

Xia Qinghe also thought so: "Since the other party intends to send the map, the map must not be simple." So we spent three months, looking through all the books and notes left by our predecessors, and finally determined that the place pointed to on the map was the empty mountain valley. ”

"I gathered the best five people in the alliance, formed an adventure team, took the map, and entered the empty mountain valley."

"When they entered, they quickly lost contact, and all the instruments were unusable in the hollow valley. A whole month had passed, and there had been no news of the adventurers who had entered the Empty Mountain Valley before. ”

"But just as we were about to give up, they came out, and they were all unharmed."

"Safe and sound?"

Enron was clearly not convinced.

Xia Qinghe nodded and said, "There is indeed no abnormality in their bodies, but their mental state is very bad. And it was late at night, so I told them to go home and rest. ”

"It turned out that something happened that night."

Enron had already guessed what was happening: "They bite? ”

Xia Qinghe nodded and said, "They suddenly became crazy and bit people everywhere, and the alliance had to dispatch manpower to arrest them back, and that unknown substance was detected on them." ”

"And the people they bit soon became infected with an unknown substance, and they were worse off than they were."

How bad it is An Ran has already seen it, and after listening to Xia Qinghe's words, he couldn't help but look back at the bloody glass house.

Obviously, after the adventurer who returned from the empty mountain valley was infected with an unknown substance, although he was crazy, he was not life-threatening, and he would only continue to spread.

And the people who are bitten by them are not only crazy, but also explode and die.

Enron feels like it's a lot like some special virus that mutates once it spreads to the next generation. This may also be a way for unknown substances to protect themselves, because a single way of existence can easily be studied antibodies.

However, he did not have any symptoms after being infected, and it is likely that an unknown substance mutated in his body in a different way than others.

"Now, do you know why I'm making an exception to recruit you?" Xia Qinghe looked at An Ran and asked solemnly.

An Ran nodded: "I am the only one who was infected by an unknown substance, neither became insane, nor exploded to death." You need me to go to the Empty Mountain and Valley, and find a way to deal with it, because you don't know if those infected people who explode and die will spread the unknown substance through other means. ”

"Luo Ning is right, you are really smart!"

Xia Qinghe took out a handkerchief, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said, "But there is one thing you said wrong." ”

Enron asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xia Qinghe smiled: "You are the first to be infected and have no seizures, but you are not the only one." ”

An Ran was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who else?" ”

Before Xia Qinghe could answer, he heard a "bang" behind him, as if something had been slammed to the ground.

The two looked back and saw a young man with his hair covering one of his eyes standing in the doorway, slamming a scarred man to the ground.

The young man was dressed in black, with a slender figure, and his sharp eyes revealed murderous aura.

At this moment, the person who was thrown to the ground by him suddenly broke free from the rope tied to his body, opened his big mouth with disgusting saliva, and pounced on the young man's neck.

At such a close distance, everyone thought that the young man would be bitten, but in a flash of cold light, a one-foot-long sharp cone suddenly appeared in the young man's hand, instantly piercing the throat of the infected.

Blood spurted from the neck of the infected and splattered on the youth.

As more and more blood flowed from the neck, the infected person gradually went limp. Only then did the young man pull out the sharp cone and walked in front of An Ran and Xia Qinghe with an expressionless face.

Although the young man killed the infected, An Ran still felt a little cruel, after all, it was also a life. With the skills of a young man, it is possible to subdue the infected without harming their lives.

"The infected you asked me to catch have already been caught."

The young man looked at Xia Qinghe fixedly and asked, "When will you leave?" ”

Xia Qinghe smiled helplessly, pointed at An Ran and said, "Wu Yang, this is the partner I found for you, his name is An Ran." ”

Wu Yang's sharp eyes only glanced at An Ran, still expressionless: "I don't need a partner." ”

Xia Qinghe frowned and said, "He is an infected person like you, and the Adventure Alliance is not allowed to act alone, you must be in a group with him, otherwise I will cancel your adventure qualification!" ”

Wu Yang's sword eyebrows immediately furrowed, and a trace of expression finally appeared on his backwater-like face, although it was not friendly.

"It's a stinking fart!"

An Ran is also a temperamental person, and he was disgusted by Wu Yang when he first met, and of course he was unhappy. Although Wu Yang is a master at first glance, he is also a practitioner, who is afraid of whom?

"What did you say?" Wu Yang's tone suddenly became cold, and his eyes looking at An Ran were full of murderous intent.

"I said you stinky fart!" Enron showed no weakness.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and the sharp cone in Wu Yang's hand stabbed An Ran's throat like lightning. An Ran also reacted quickly, immediately grabbed Wu Yang's wrist with his hand, and choked Wu Yang's neck with his backhand.

At this point, the tip of the cone is less than a millimeter away from Enron's Adam's apple.

An Ran grabbed Wu Yang's hand around the neck, and his wrist was also grabbed by Wu Yang.

Everything was done between lightning and flint, and when Xia Qinghe reacted, the two of them were already doing this.

"Stop it!"

Xia Qinghe burst out to stop the two of them and admonished: "You two listen to me, before you set off, if any of you have an accident, the mission will be terminated immediately!" ”

Hearing this, Wu Yang's sword eyebrows wrinkled again, his hand shook, and the sharp cone was put away, leaving only the handle in his hand.

Enron also let go immediately.

The two fought evenly this time and played to a draw. But they are all young and vigorous, and no one is convinced. An Ran is the kind of person who respects me for a foot, I pay you back, and if you slap me, I will give you a fist back.

Seeing the two facing each other, Xia Qinghe had a headache, and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat beads from his forehead, crying bitterly in his heart.

In terms of the current state of An Ran and Wu Yang, how can they rest assured that they have really reached the empty mountain valley!
