As a member of the secret guard of the state governor's office, it is his duty to obey orders.

Even if they die in battle, others will not complain.

However, under the temptation of such massive cultivation resources, their motivation was obviously more sufficient, and some people even directly burned their essence blood to stimulate the fastest speed to run wildly, in order to be the first to find the traces of Song Ziyang and Li Shaobai.

It's just that they chased for a long time, only to find that the two of them had disappeared as if they were missing.

Du Laosan's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he thought that this was a piece of fat that was brought to his mouth, and he could eat it easily.

Hand to hand.

didn't expect that in the end, after paying a heavy price, he didn't kill the most important second young master of the Li family.

His expression was cold, and his huge divine sense was released to his heart's content, searching for Li Shaobai's whereabouts while also observing the surrounding situation.

Circled around this tall mountain to no avail.

And everybody gathered together.

"It's strange, they obviously ran towards the back of the main peak, why did they turn a corner and disappear?"

The guy who burned his essence and blood was at the forefront, but he only saw a vague figure flash away, and there was no trace of him.

"I think the two of them should be heading up the mountain, there is a foothold on the other side of the mountain where we can climb up, perhaps they are trying to confuse us, first creating the illusion of running away, making us think that they are far away, and then desperately chasing after them. I can't find out that they're around. ”

In the Dark Guard, there is also a person who has a careful analysis.

In the end, he still felt that what he said was very close to the truth, and said reservedly, "This is the truth of darkness under the lamp, what do you think, boss?"

Du Laosan frowned, thought for a long time, and then nodded seriously: "There is such a possibility." ”

"Okay, then let's go up the mountain and search!"

After a pause, he said again, "Everyone be careful, Li Shaobai said before that there are fierce rats on this mountain, and they are ready to protect the jade pendant, ready to activate at any time!"

"I don't know if he's fooling us, but I'd rather believe it than believe it!"

The others nodded.

So, everyone went up the mountain in unison, and almost all of them held a piece of guardian jade pendant in their hands.

The road up the mountain was peaceful.

They climbed to the top of the hill, and then took a few steps forward, and when they looked down, for a moment, everyone was stunned—

It's a scene they couldn't have imagined!

The endless giant rat, staring at its blood-red eyes, looked to its side.

Then, as if they were furious, all the rats began to pounce on them frantically, opening their mouths wide and revealing their hideous teeth to bite.

"Run—"

Du Laosan didn't even say a single superfluous word, and after a shout, he ran madly down the mountain.

Everyone hugged their heads and ran around......

No, it's not appropriate to describe it as a head-hugging rat.

for it is the rat that chases them.

It's just that the rats here are more than ten times bigger than ordinary mice!

This is already a real monster.

The huge, endless giant rat chased after him, even if it was as strong as Du Laosan, it could only escape.

Among the members of the Dark Guard under his command, some of them ran slower, and their bodies disappeared in an instant, and they were eaten alive.

"Ah...... Ahh

The cry was terrible and miserable, and it spread far away on this empty mountain peak.

The embarrassed fled to the bottom of the mountain, and the giant rats stacked again, not daring to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

When Du Laosan saw this scene, he was equally surprised.

He couldn't understand why the giant rat swarm didn't chase after them.

It was so close that the giant rats did not dare to descend the mountain.

But he didn't speculate too much, but gathered people to conduct a carpet search and investigation of this small world, as long as Li Shaobai and the others were still alive, he would never let them go easily.

..................

Song Ziyang took Li Shaobai and turned to the back of this lonely peak, and then trekked all the way.

After about three miles of progress, there was a sudden increase in the green of the bare mountains.

Further on, you can see green grass covering the low hillside.

They couldn't go any further, and in a depression, they all saw a narrow path.

This path leads straight into the mountains.

He hesitated for a moment, then slipped into it first.

He determined the location of the mountain ghost through the vague connection between the gods and spirits.

It was only here that I was able to perceive that the location of this mountain ghost was either in the belly of the mountain or underground.

So, he was ready to go in and give it a try.

Li Shaobai didn't think about it and followed him to act.

The mountain walls around the cave entrance were full of raised stones, and in some places they were covered with dark moss, and the whole cave mouth emitted a damp smell.

This is very different from the dryness and desolation of the outside world.

He and Li Shaobai glanced at each other, neither of them spoke, and walked silently all the way.

Li Shaobai has not completely gotten rid of hatred, and his whole body is filled with a sadness after resentment, and his state is extremely poor.

Song Ziyang didn't persuade much.

There are some things that you have to figure out by yourself, and persuasion is useless.

But looking at his state, perhaps only by completely killing Du Laosan can Li Shaobai recover.

Li Shaobai has been smooth sailing for many years, so now all the clansmen are dying tragically, and the powerful second uncle is dying in order to save him, and in the face of such a huge setback, he has not collapsed on the spot, and his heart is already extremely strong.

Along the path in the winding belly of the mountain, all the way forward, the trace of spiritual bond with the mountain ghost in my mind is getting stronger and stronger.

He knew he wasn't on the wrong track.

After moving forward for hundreds of feet again, the eyes of the two suddenly opened up.

In front of you, there is a low, sunken valley.

Inside the valley is a small inner lake, surrounded by low peaks.

There is no buffer slope on the shore of the lake, and there is lush vegetation along the lake.

In addition, there are many kinds of flowers and trees, and the flowers bloom brilliantly, just like spring, and the green fragrance comes to the nose.

I don't know how many years these flowers and trees have grown here, and many of them are precious spiritual herbs and elixirs.

Song Ziyang has almost no research on alchemy, so most of them don't know, but the few that he occasionally recognizes are enough to amaze him.

As for Li Shaobai, who has learned and refuted, and has dabbled in pills, magic circles, refining weapons and other techniques, at this moment, he is like a family, handing over the names of these precious elixirs, and at the same time, he almost subconsciously exclaimed:

"Seven Nights Burial Sea Flower, Sikong Ling Potato, Zhu Guo, Clover, Cloud Luo Zhu ......"

"Soul Rejuvenation Grass, this was extinct on the continent thousands of years ago, I really didn't expect that there would be output here!"

“......”

With the recognition of each precious elixir, some brightness finally bloomed in his eyes, which was much more lifeless than before.

Song Ziyang didn't distinguish these spiritual herbs and elixirs anymore, but set his eyes on the center of the lake.

Through the bonds of the gods, he could "see" that the mountain ghosts were shining there.

At the same time, he could also see that in the center of the lake, there was a fiery red sunflower, which was blooming intensely.
