The barren forest in the north of Pingchuan Castle

It has always been a barren mound near Pingchuan Castle, and it has always been a dead silence and inaccessible to people. However, the current barren forest can be said to be very lively! tents are scattered in the depths of the barren forest, and the entire Black Wind Hand Mercenary Regiment has been fully stationed in this barren forest under the order of the regiment leader Xu Shu.

"What you said is true?" In one of the largest tents, Xu Shu, who was originally pensive, suddenly turned around and looked at Xie Ming, the leader of the third regiment of the former Black Wind Hand Mercenary Regiment, who came to report the news, with a look of surprise.

"It's true!" Xie Chao replied firmly, "Just two hours ago, an ordinary member of our mercenary group discovered the connecting cave that connected to the Forest of Silence, and also found the footprints of a man and a woman entering nearby. ”

"Then what are you doing here?" Xu Shu yelled at Xie as he hurriedly walked out of the tent. When he was halfway there, he suddenly reacted, turned around and shouted at Xie Ming, "What are you still doing?"

"Yes. Being yelled at by Xu Shu, Xie Chao seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly responded. At the same time, he walked out of the tent quickly and led the way for Xu Shu.

In front of the tree hole drilled by Lin Liang and yellow flocculent in the depths of the barren forest

Since an ordinary member of the Black Wind Hand Mercenary Group discovered this place two hours ago, it is now surrounded by most of the members of the Mercenary Group, after all, no one knows what unpredictable conditions will occur through this "tree hole".

"Hey, don't surround yourself, let me go, the head of the regiment is here!" The arrival of the head of the regiment, Xu Shu, had already been discovered by sharp-eyed members, and immediately shouted loudly. A wide passage was instantly separated in the encirclement that had surrounded the tree hole.

"Hello Commander!"

Many members of the group shouted in unison, but Xu Shu did not respond to these basic members of the Black Wind Hand Mercenary Group as before, at this time, Xu Shu only cared about the connecting cave that connected to the Forest of Silence, and the two Lin Liang and Huang Xu who escaped into it.

"Commander, it's here!" Xie Chao said respectfully.

"I know!" At this time, Xu Shu didn't need anyone to tell him, because he had already seen the pitch-black tree hole.

"Did you send someone in to investigate?" staring at the tree hole for a moment, Xu Shu suddenly asked Xie Ming, who was standing aside.

"Yes. Xie Chao said affirmatively: "Since we discovered this tree hole, we first sent a team of seven people into it to explore the way, and later sent another team to enter, but it was ......."

"But what?"

Xie Chao looked at Xu Shu's face carefully, but he couldn't see any emotion from Xu Shu's face, and replied helplessly: "But until now, none of these two teams have returned, and not even a little information has been sent back." ”

Hearing this, Xu Shu couldn't help frowning, thought for a moment and was about to speak, but there was an exclamation from the crowd on the side. Xu Shu and Xie looked at each other, only to see a hand suddenly appear in the dark tree hole, and then the upper body of a person slowly crawled out.

"It's Jiang Ping!" everyone exclaimed. Xie Chao explained in a low voice beside Xu Shu: "He is the strongest person in the second team that entered before. ”

However, at this time, Jiang Ping looked completely gone, his entire upper body was tattered, his hair was scattered, his right hand was full of scars, and he shouted vaguely: "Demon beast...... A lot of monsters...... All dead...... They're all dead......"

"What are you talking about?Beast Tide?" Hearing the word Beast Tide, Xu Shu's face showed a look of shock, and he quickly rushed to the tree hole, grabbed Jiang Ping's shoulders tightly with both hands, shook and asked, "Tell me quickly, what's going on inside?"

"Uh...... Inside...... Inside......" Jiang Ping kept repeating the same two words, and then in Xu Shu's continuous shaking, the light in Jiang Ping's eyes slowly disappeared, and the body that was constantly struggling also stopped moving, and his hands and head drooped weakly.

"Hey, hey, I'll ask you!" Xu Shu roared angrily, pulling Jiang Ping's body out with all his might, but the scene that followed surprised the members of the mercenary group who were gathered around.

I saw that Jiang Ping's body that was pulled out by Xu Shu was only the upper body, but the lower body was without a trace. What was clearly visible at the break in the body was the traces of being bitten by the demon beast, and at this time, everyone finally understood the source of the scars on Jiang Ping's body, which was actually caused by fighting with the demon beast.

"Captain, from the current point of view, it is obvious that there is a beast tide here, and the scale is not small. I estimate that Lin Liang and Huang Xu must have died there, so the shame of our mercenary group can be regarded as washed away, why don't we go back here?" Xie Chao whispered in Xu Shu's ear.

"Go back?" Xu Shu glanced at Xie Chao strangely, and that look made Xie Mian feel numb in his heart for the first time. Immediately after that, in Xie Ming's uneasy eyes, Xu Shu slowly shook his head and spit out two words, "No!"

"But ......"

"No, but!" Xu Shu stared at Xie Chao sharply, and said word by word: "Before you see the corpses of those two people, the shame of the mercenary group will not be washed away! I order you to immediately organize people to prepare to enter, and you must find out the situation inside, as well as the traces of those two guys!"

Xie Chao originally wanted to continue to persuade Xu Shu, but after seeing Xu Shu's eyes, Xie Chao sighed and said, "Captain, according to my estimate, the beast tide generally doesn't last long, so I hope that I can send members in three days before entering." After all, the situation inside can't be hidden now, and no one will want to go in and die. ”

Xu Shu thought about it for a while and agreed with Xie Chao's words, after all, he didn't fail to see everyone's reaction now, and forcing them to enter at this time was afraid that the entire Black Wind Hand Mercenary Group would soon fall apart.

In the Forest of Silence, Lin Liang was already in an unknown underground cave at this time. Looking at the sleeping Huang Fu on the side, a complicated emotion flashed on Lin Liang's face. In fact, after Huang Su suddenly appeared and knocked Ling Feng away, Lin Liang realized that something was wrong with Huang Xun.

However, on the way when Huang Su took him to escape from the beast tide and hide in this underground cave, Lin Liang didn't ask a word, because he had already seen everything from Huang Xun's eyes. At that time, Huang Xunxu looked at him as if he was looking at a stranger who had nothing to do with him, and even had some disgust in his eyes.

Sighing, Lin Liang slowly sat up in this underground cave, took out a few healing pills from the Qiankun bag, and began to use the spiritual power in his body to repair the injuries caused by Ling Feng, while on the other side he quietly waited for Huang Fuxu to wake up.

Looking inwardly at his body, Lin Liang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was prepared and blocked some of the attacks with his long stick, otherwise the current situation would have been even worse. However, even if the long stick was broken and blocked part of the attack, the difference in strength between the Spirit Vein Realm and the Spirit Quenching Realm still broke Lin Liang's ribs, and the meridians of his whole body were damaged to varying degrees.

After taking the healing elixir brought from the sect, Lin Liang used the power of qi and blood in his body to slowly flow through all the injured places on his body. Ever since he was ambushed, Lin Liang had discovered another effect of the power of qi and blood. That is, compared with ordinary spiritual power, the power of qi and blood is actually better for the healing effect of the injured area!

Soon, half a day passed like this, and the injuries on Lin Liang's body were under the effect of the power of qi and blood and the pill at the same time, although they could not be compared with the original state, but compared to the state when they were just injured, they were obviously much better.

At this time, Huang Xuxu, who had always fallen into a deep sleep, also woke up leisurely and looked around blankly.

"Are you awake?" Lin Liang's concerned voice came. Huang Fu's face was slightly red, and he whispered, "En." ”

Immediately, he asked suspiciously: "Brother Lin, where are we, and why did I suddenly faint, I remember ......?"

As he spoke, Huang Xu suddenly showed a strange expression, and said as if uncertain: "Why can't I suddenly remember what happened before?"
