Before coming, the task content that Xie Chang explained to Tianyou was to obey the task assignment of the leading immortal leader of the team that arrived before them, and the second instruction was that on the premise of not finding the pilot team, Tianyou could choose to investigate and search the surrounding area by himself, and then return by himself.

The reason for the two different missions is also to consider that communication within the range of the ghost fog will become extremely difficult, so in advance to consider the situation that they cannot detect each other, and allow the Tianyou team to act independently. However, Tianyou does not really want to act independently at the moment, because in the current situation, the risk of this mission is obviously higher than normal, so the safest way is to join the large army. Even if the reward for the quest is slightly less, it is much better than encountering the unexpected.

Tianyou understood the current danger, so he did not rush to carry out the second task and go deep into the Tianshan Mountain alone, but let the team wait in Xinghuang Village for the time being, and he himself called the strongest Zhao Lingyun to start searching for traces of the advance team's actions.

After arranging the next task, the team rested on the spot, and Tianyou and Zhao Lingyun left the team to search and investigate along the periphery of the village. Zhao Lingyun is responsible for protecting Tianyou's safety, and Tianyou himself is using the professional experience he accumulated as a hunter to find traces of the previous team.

However, after a circle, Tianyou fixed his eyebrows at the beginning and end of the search. Zhao Lingyun, who was on the side, saw that he was frowning and not moving for a long time, so he gently pushed him and asked, "What's wrong?

Tianyou shook his head. "If there is a discovery, I don't worry, the point is that there is no discovery. It's like ......"

"Seems like what?"

"It's as if they haven't even entered the village. ”

"Haven't you entered the village?" Zhao Lingyun was also surprised: "You mean they were attacked halfway?"

The starting point of the mission is in Xinghuang Village, although the source of the ghost fog should be in the Jietian Mountain, but according to the process of performing the mission, the team should enter Xinghuang Village first, rule out the little possibility, and then turn to enter the Jietian Mountain. Moreover, there is a road entrance into the mountain in Xinghuang Village, and it is not a detour to walk from here.

In this case, the team did not enter Xinghuang Village, there are only a few possibilities, and one of the higher probability is that the team has just left Zhao Village and has a battle with the undead. Maybe it was the defeat and death, or maybe it was because he killed a large number of undead and chased him away, but in short, he changed his itinerary for some reason and did not enter Xinghuang Village.

However, this probability is actually not high, because God bless them did not encounter any traces of battle on the way here.

The advance team is small in number and has no time to clean up the battlefield, and the undead will not clean the battlefield at all, so if there has been a battle and it is large, it should leave obvious traces of the battle. However, now that the whole team is gone, it is indeed a bit weird.

Although Zhao Lingyun has a high level, he has not participated in many tasks, and his actual combat experience is not even as good as that of Tianyou, and he can't put forward any constructive suggestions. The two had no choice but to return to the team and tell everyone about the situation, and Tianyou also analyzed his conjectures and discoveries.

Among the people, the senior brothers sent by Murong Xuan all have considerable experience in going out, Bai Bingyu is also a particularly good type in this regard, although Lu Meng is inexperienced, but his brain is active, and after a group of people discussed it, they also came up with a more suitable method.

According to the method that everyone came up with, they were to temporarily withdraw from the town, and then retreat in the direction of Zhao Village, and search for the traces of the advance team along the road. If you can find traces of the advance team's movements, then trace the traces to find them, and if you can't find their traces, Tianyou and them will take advantage of the situation to withdraw from the range of the ghost mist, and then decide to camp in Zhao Village or further away according to the situation, and ask Zixiao Palace for more reinforcements.

To be honest, Zixiao Palace obviously didn't take it too seriously this time, because the information that Tianyou learned before coming showed that although Zixiao Palace sent a team of not small size, most of the disciples who came were actually disciples who had not yet reached the human soul stage, and there were only three immortal chiefs in total, and the level was not very high. This bit of power is very strong among the people, but for Zixiao Palace, it is not very serious at all, otherwise it would never be this kind of manpower.

Of course, few people who came couldn't blame Zixiao Palace, after all, it was just the spread of ghost fog at the beginning, and Tianyou didn't know what caused this incident, so the team sent by Zixiao Palace was still an investigation team. The team that is really used to get things done doesn't really have the components at all. In this case, it is understandable that the strength of the dispatched team is not very strong.

However, the situation is now slightly more than expected. From what they have found so far, it is surmised that this team that is much stronger than them may have encountered an accident, so the nature of this mission also needs to be reconsidered.

In short, for safety reasons, Tianyou began to lead the team back, carefully searching both sides of the road for traces of fighting or people passing by along the way. Although most of the roads in the neutral area are unmaintained, the vicinity of Xinghuang Village used to be a transportation hub, so the roads are not bad. But it is precisely because of the good condition of the road that it has caused difficulties for Tianyou. In the case of a normal path, the dirt and fallen leaves will leave many clues to inform the tracking, but on the hard stone road, these traces will not appear. What Tianyou can do is to constantly check the ground behind the bushes and bushes on both sides of the road, because although the advance team cannot leave traces on the road, as long as they leave the road, they will inevitably leave something on the ground on both sides.

Walking all the way back like this, everyone's mood is more nervous than when they came. Although it was still eerily quiet on both sides, the forest under the fog seemed faint, and even the monks felt a little infiltrating. Fortunately, so far they have gone smoothly and have not encountered any danger.

"Ga ......" Mocking Wind's sudden scream startled the whole team, and Tianyou immediately looked at the place where Mocking Wind was.

Originally, when he came, Mocking Wind had been flying low at the periphery of the team to explore the way, but now on the way back, because he had to constantly search for the situation on both sides of the road, Tianyou was worried that he was left behind, so he let Mocking Wind also land on the ground to help find clues together. Now the Mock Wind's reaction is a sign of what it has discovered.

Tianyou hurried over, but Bai Bingyu, who was closer, arrived first, and she had already discovered the reason for the warning of the mocking wind.

On the right side of the road, seven or eight paces away from the road, under a pile of grass lay a bloody half-amputated arm, and two fingers were missing, as if the broken wound had been bitten off by something.

The longer away from this severed arm, Tianyou picked up a long sword again, which was the standard equipment of Zixiao Palace, and it was commonly worn and used by those poorer disciples and disciples who did not use weapons as their main means of combat. For example, a psychic like Lu Meng, whose main weapon is a flute, wears a symbolic long sword as an emergency weapon in case of emergencies. Of course, Lu Meng herself is too rich, so she doesn't use a standard long sword, but most people like her will choose a standard long sword, after all, they don't have high requirements for weapons, so they don't have to choose too high-end types. If you have that spare money, it's better to gather it and get a better special magic weapon or magic weapon.

After discovering this arm and sword, Tianyou immediately made adjustments, and one person from the team returned to Zixiao Palace with the broken arm and sword, informing them of the situation and Tianyou's guesses, while the others left the road and pursued along the traces on the ground, at least to follow to see how the advance team in front was doing. Of course, before this decision was made, Tianyou also explained that this was a voluntary mission, and those who didn't want to participate could go back to deliver the letter, or wait to pick everyone up in Zhao Village.

Although this newly formed team has been quite compatible so far, and everyone has gotten along well, the relationship is far from very strong, so after Tianyou proposed the voluntary principle and issued the task, there were only five people who followed Tianyou in the end. These include Bai Bingyu, Lu Meng, the marksman Qu Tong, Zhao Lingyun, and a senior brother who wields a long-handled broadsword.

Five people plus Tianyou is a team of six, among which Tianyou himself is a scout, Bai Bingyu, Zhao Lingyun and the big knife senior brother are all the main tan, responsible for carrying the line. Considering that the combat power of Lu Meng, a psychic, has not yet been formed, the attack power of Qu Tong, a marksman, is not very prominent, and there is no mage in the team, so the three tanks may also have to serve as the team's main DPS, that is, the main damage output personnel. However, fortunately, although Qu Tong and Lu Meng's combat effectiveness is not outstanding, they can play a leading role, coupled with the variability of Tianyou's own abilities, this team can barely achieve far, medium and near collocation and diversification of abilities.

After the team was assigned, they separated in place, and Tianyou led the team to follow the trail all the way down the low, while the rest left the ghost fog coverage as planned.
