The third group of crew members accompanied them to complete the search for the main trunk of the Yangtze River, and at this time, Long Qingting and Bai Qi had already completed their tasks in advance and began to search for Juchao Lake.

They soon found the fourth circle at the mouth of Juchao Lake, and found eight eggshells.

There is no way for anyone to understand the reason for the mastermind behind this, in the modern era when demon beasts are already rarer than endangered animals, the hook snake is already a powerful aquatic demon beast, if it is carefully cultivated, and it is practiced with Taoism or some kind of evil art, they can play a greater role, instead of dying almost worthless like now.

Of the thirty-nine hooked snakes, the shore troops killed twelve, Long Qingting killed eleven, Huang Dou and Qiu Niang killed ten, and six were missing. However, each sub-bureau has learned enough experience from previous battles, and the appearance of hooking snakes is accompanied by dense fog, which makes it difficult for conventional reconnaissance methods to be effective, but scientific methods such as sonar and thermal induction can still detect their traces in time within a range of about one kilometer.

Anti-tank guns, individual missiles, mortars, rocket artillery, naval guns, anti-aircraft machine guns...... While it often takes a combination of means and heavy casualties to eradicate them, they are no longer a danger that there is no way to deal with. After realizing this day, in order to eliminate as much as possible the adverse effects of the interruption of shipping on the Yangtze River, tens of thousands of troops began to search and counterattack the Hook Snake in the entire 800-kilometer basin.

This method quickly began to work, and by about five o'clock in the morning of the next day, after paying the price of nearly two thousand casualties, the remaining six hook snakes were found and killed one by one, without even using the power of Long Qingting and Huang Dou.

"I don't really understand this approach...... Qiu Niang said with a sleepy face. Those who died, they couldn't do magic, did they? Since they dare to attack a monster like the Hook Snake, it should be an elite force. Obviously, if you wait an extra day, you can avoid these casualties...... What exactly did the commander think? ”

Sun Yang couldn't answer.

In fact, he has never been able to truly understand the significance of the decision of the world, especially the developed countries, to hide the truth in the fog. In Sun's view, letting people know the truth may be able to avoid unnecessary losses in many cases. Although it may lead to the development of religion or even cults, people should have the right to know the truth.

He could only tell himself that there might be some kind of secret behind it.

Qiu Niang became more and more sleepy, and finally fell asleep directly in Sun Yang's arms, he shook his head helplessly, took off his coat and wrapped his body to avoid catching a cold.

"Go straight back to the distant mountains to meet." Bai Qi sent Long Qingting's order.

They met at the airport, and Long Qingting's face showed no joy at all.

"It's hard work......" he said lightly to Sun Yang and the others.

"Dragon King, it's not a way to go on like this." Huang Dou said suddenly.

Long Qingting did not answer.

"In the beginning, people may be impressed by the help of the distant mountains, for the sake of your strength, but if this kind of thing happens again and again, and the interval is so frequent...... Huang Dou continued.

"Do you think we wouldn't be able to think of that?" Bai Qi said.

Huang Dou smiled and shook his head.

"What do you suggest?" Long Qingting asked.

"Anti-guest is the mainstay, anti-defense is offense." Huang Dou said. "I heard that the remnants of the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa have been found to be hiding in Mongolia? I don't understand, what are you waiting for? Don't say you're still collecting evidence...... I remember that all the remnants of the sect were enemies of the Special Cases Administration. ”

Long Qingting looked at him, then shook his head gently.

"I'll think about it." He said. "It's hard work, you guys go back and rest first."

"What did you mean by that?" Sun Yang drove his car parked at the airport, Lu Xiaoling and Huang Dou went back together, after nearly twenty-four hours of continuous combat, everyone was already very tired, but he still couldn't figure it out.

"It's simple." Huang Dou replied. "How many times can people endure such a thing? If we don't get rid of the roots, we will never be able to solve the problem. ”

It sounded like there was nothing wrong with the words, but Sun Yang always felt that someone like Long Qingting who acted arbitrarily and recklessly didn't do anything, so there should be something behind it.

"Is there any great power on the Mongolian side?"

"Of course it's gone." Huang Dou laughed. "But back then, the Mongols swept and ruled almost the whole world, do you think it was really the power of mounted archery?"

"Zongmen?"

"It's not a sect, it's a demon clan, witchcraft, and the power of the Yellow Sect later." Huang Dou said. "There is also a group in the Dao Sect that wants a piece of the pie, but they joined too late and didn't get much real profit."

The information in this made Sun Yang stunned for a moment, because it had completely subverted his previous view of history and worldview, but it was reasonable to consider it from the real side of the world he knew.

"The power of the Northern Demon Clan has always been very strong, especially the Wolf Clan." Huang Dou said. "The Turkic Ashina family, the Yelu clan of the Liao State, and the Mongolian Golden Family are all powerful wolf clans."

"What about the female straight?"

"When it was gold, it was a tiger demon, and when it was clear, it was already a union of the demon and the bear demon......" Huang Dou said. The Xiongnu's Yan clan and the Liao clan's Xiao clan are both fox clans, but they are not sky foxes, but ordinary demon foxes. ”

Sun Yang was speechless.

The blue wolf and the white deer, he always thought it was just a folk legend, but now it seems that maybe it is just the reality.

"So...... There are still powerful demon clans in Mongolia? ”

"It's not much." Huang Dou shook his head. "The Golden Family has already exhausted its bloodline in the infighting, and it has been ruthlessly placed by the female straight demon, and it is almost wiped out. When the West invaded, they hastily united together, but they were defeated in front of artillery and muskets, and the last bit of strength was almost exhausted. He sighed slightly, as if he regretted their decline.

"Then what is Long Qingting worried about?"

Huang Dou smiled, but did not answer again.

This pass made Sun Yang feel very uncomfortable, but Huang Dou didn't say it, and Sun Yang had no way to force him to say it.

……

"Huang Dou means something." Bai Qi said to Long Qingting.

He didn't answer.

"I've checked the information related to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Villa, they are located in the northwest, and they rarely drive aquatic demon beasts. These hooked snakes should have nothing to do with them. ”

"If not them, who would it be? What is their purpose in doing so? ”

Bai Qi shook his head: "No one knows the origin of such a large number of hooking snake eggs, but one thing is for sure, the person who uses this method should not be the force we know." But their strength is not weak. ”

Long Qingting didn't answer, but after a while, he said, "Huang Dou wants to lead us to Mongolia...... Is there something over there that interests him? Check it out to see if he's been to Mongolia, and if so, where he's been and who's met. ”
