Chapter 286: Death Canyon
After Wu Tian destroyed the Black Prison Mercenary Group, after confirming that this matter was true, the people of the Mercenary Alliance directly promoted the 'Wutian Mercenary Group' founded by Wu Tian to a prefecture-level mercenary group, and in just a few months, the Wutian Mercenary Group directly went from the yellow level to the prefecture-level It is also a unique thing in the history of mercenaries.
But everyone knows that although the Heavenless Mercenary Group is defined as a prefecture-level mercenary group, its strength has entered the Heaven-level mercenary group, so after this, almost no mercenary group dares to take Wu Tianren's first 500,000 taels of gold as a reward, but instead hits the idea on the young master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, but Xu Jianren has been cowering in the sect and does not come out.
Without the harassment of mercenaries, Wu Tian was also happy to be idle these days, but on this day, after Wu Tian had just checked on Han Shengjun and a few people, a disciple found Wu Tian.
"Elder Wu, the Sect Master has something to look for you, and he is now in the council hall. ”
"Yes, okay, I'll be right over. ”
Then Wu Tian came to the sect master's chamber.
"Sect Master, do you have something to tell me?" Wu Tian asked suspiciously after entering the council hall.
The sect master nodded, then gave Angel Wu a look and said, "Come with me." ”
Then Wu Tian followed the sect master curiously, and the sect master took Wu Tian into a secret room passage behind the council hall, and finally walked to the secret room in the passage, at this time, Cang Shan, the leader of the intelligence gate, was also in the secret room, squatting on the ground to investigate a corpse.
"Sect Master, you're here. Cangshan greeted the sect master.
"Hello, Examiner Cang. Wu Tian also greeted Cangshan with a smile.
"Wu Tian, you are now the deputy elder of Qi Tianzong, you don't need to call me an examiner, if you don't dislike it, call me Brother Cang. Cangshan waved his hand at Wu Tian.
"Okay, Brother Cang. ”
"Xiaotian, I called you here today to investigate this corpse, and Cangshan will tell you the specific situation. The sect master looked at Cangshan and said.
Cangshan nodded, then pointed to a corpse on the ground and said, "Wu Tian, you take a look at this corpse first." ”
Wu Tian looked at the corpse on the ground, it was a male corpse, the death was extremely terrifying, and his whole body was covered with pitch-black fine lines. The most remarkable thing is that the corpse is dry all over, just like Pan Fubang's death at that time, and even more terrifying than when Pan Fubang died.
"This corpse looks like when Pan Fubang died, it has turned into a dried corpse, and its whole body is covered with that kind of dark fine lines, it looks like it has been eroded by the dark power! What the hell is going on?" Wu Tian asked as he looked at Cang Shan in surprise.
"This person is a disciple of our Intelligence Hall, and he was ordered by me to investigate the remnants of the Demon Realm, but when he was investigating a secret area, he suddenly lost news, and when I arrived at that place, this disciple was like this, it is obvious that this disciple was attacked by the power of the Demon Realm, if I guessed correctly, there should be a remnant of the Demon Realm in that location!" Cang Shan explained, pointing to the corpse on the ground.
Then the sect master continued: "This matter is extremely important, there must be a reason why the remnants of the Demon Realm appeared there, maybe it has something to do with unlocking the passage of the Demon Realm, so I hope that someone will go to investigate, and you and Elder Cangshan will go together." ”
"That place is extremely dangerous, it is best to cultivate to a person with a high realm, and the number of people should not be too many, the sect master has decided to let you go with me after considering it, Wu Tian, accept this task?" Cang Shan looked at Wu Tian and asked.
"Of course I do, just let me go will it drag down Brother Cang, after all, I am not a professional intelligence mission. ”
Cangshan shook his head with a smile and said: "Wu Tian, you are too modest, even if you are not from an intelligence mission, but your cultivation is unfathomable, and your thinking is quite agile, you are definitely very suitable for this mission!"
"Since Brother Cang said so, then it's no problem. Wu Tian nodded and said.
"Very good, without further ado, you guys should leave now and find out the truth as soon as possible!" said the sect master, patting Wu Tian and Cangshan on the shoulder.
......
An hour later, Wu Tian and Cangshan were ready to leave Qi Tianzong.
"Wu Tian, our destination is the 'Death Canyon' 500 miles west of the Imperial City, where the terrain is dangerous, we must be careful at all times after passing over!"
"Okay, Brother Cang. ”
It took Wu Tian and Cangshan two days to reach the edge of the Death Canyon, and the terrain on the edge of the Death Canyon was also extremely strange in time. In the middle of the two mountain ranges is a huge canyon, with the mountains on one side of the canyon bare desert and the other side overgrown with towering trees.
There is a bottomless river flowing in the middle canyon, and I don't know where it stretches.
"We have reached the edge of the Death Canyon, and then we have to be extra careful, the more we go to the hinterland of the canyon, the more dangerous it becomes, and it is possible to encounter all kinds of high-level demon beasts! Also, the center of the hinterland of the canyon is extremely lifeless, because there have been large-scale wars here before, and the bare mountains over there were destroyed by the war, and the reason why this place is called the Death Canyon is because there are hundreds of thousands of dead bodies in the war in the depths of the canyon. ”
Cangshan explained while taking Wu Tian in.
"Where was that disciple's body found?" Wu Tian asked.
"When we approached the heart of the canyon, we were almost close to the bottom!"
Wu Tian and Cangshan went down the mountain range to the canyon, and the further down they went, the more gloomy the aura became, and even the temperature was several degrees lower than above. And I encountered a lot of demon beasts along the way, most of them were the kind of aggressive and ferocious demon beasts, and it was obvious that the death qi here had an impact on the demon beasts here.
It took half a day for Wu Tian and Cangshan to come to the lower end of the canyon, and a dark river in the center of the canyon was clearly visible.
"That disciple found it here!" Cang Shan said, standing among the trees and scanning the surroundings, frowning.
"We didn't find any traces of anyone along the way, could there be anyone around here?" Wu Tian carefully observed the surrounding situation. By this time, it was already dark, and the trees were silent, and the atmosphere was quite eerie and gloomy.
Suddenly, there was some movement around.
"There's something around!" Cangshan suddenly became vigilant, "And it's a lot!"
"It's a wolf! a group of wolves!" Wu Tian fixed his eyes, and countless pairs of bloodthirsty glowing eyes appeared around him, and he let out a low roar from time to time.
"Roar!" Suddenly, a huge wolf rushed towards Wu Tian and bit Wu Tian's neck with a bloody mouth.
"Go to Nima's brute!" Wu Tian's black dragon knife waved casually, and the giant wolf turned into two halves, but even though it was split in half, the wolf's head still struggled to bite Wu Tian.
"What the hell is this, if he dies, he still wants to bite, what kind of wolf is this?" Wu Tian's face changed, and he immediately pinched the wolf's head with one hand.
At this time, the wolf's bloodthirsty eyes flashed with a black and strange black glow, and it looked a little crazy.
