Riding horses rented from the mercenary union, the four squads galloped all the way, and it only took an hour to reach the valley of empty sorrow. As soon as they entered the mountain, the four squads moved separately.

"Captain Gu, this empty valley is full of flowers and plants, how can the black snake have a place to hide?" Su Xiaoli looked at the desolate scene in front of him and said curiously.

You Xuanhao turned around and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoli hasn't seen a snake?"

Su Xiaoli smiled embarrassedly, "Although this girl is not a child of a rich family, she has never been to the wild, she usually stays at home, and it is normal that she has never seen a snake......

"Alas...... You people in the imperial capital are good, they have never suffered from us rural children, not to mention anything else, your annual ordinary college entrance examination and various soul mage exams have local protection policies, and it is much easier to get into the top colleges here than us......" You Xuanhao sighed, he has lived at the bottom of society for the past seven years, and he has been in the countryside for a long time, which makes him feel very vicissitudes, "It's winter now, and the snakes in this area of the Heavenly Ice Empire generally inhabit dry and sunny caves. However, the strange thing is that these black snakes do not seem to have the habit of hibernation, and in such a cold weather, they will actually go down the mountain to forage for food...... Perhaps the climate in this valley is different from the outside. ”

"Oh...... I see......" Everyone nodded, showing a look of awakening. In the team, only You Xuanhao has been in the countryside, and what he said is naturally more credible.

The terrain in the hollow valley is complicated, there are thousands of ravines, there are no roads, there are almost no tall trees on it, only some dwarf shrubs and white grass; the land is a miserable yellow without nutrition, and a layer of yellow sand on it, every time the wind sweeps, the sand and stones fly, giving people a sense of "yellow clouds and white grass have not yet spring". There was no water, no people, no life, just a group of cannibalistic black snakes, a few passing crows, piles of barren rocks, and an extremely strange atmosphere.

Looking at the mountains and yellow sand, not knowing where the black snake lived, the four of them began to be a little overwhelmed.

"Listen to me, as long as we move forward together, it is not easy to have problems. If the serpents perceive our breath, there will be a great movement, and if one of us perceives it, it will kill it as soon as it hurts us. You Xuanhao said with a serious face, "But I don't think it's a good thing to eliminate them, humans shouldn't interfere with nature, wait until we find the nest of the crown black snake and then make plans." ”

Ye Rui promised that he hadn't seen You Xuanhao so serious for a long time - no, it should be said that he had never seen it.

So everyone could only follow You Xuanhao's instructions, move forward together, each with a weapon, ready to fight at any time.

......

The first detachment had by this time penetrated deep into the valley from the western side. Along the way, I saw many small lizards, but I never saw a single black snake.

Long Yue wiped the cold sweat from his face, breathing rapidly, obviously overly nervous. "Damn, where are those snakes dead? It's a shame that Lao Tzu is so serious about finding it...... Looks like those guys from the union just didn't want to spend a lot of effort on this, so they summoned us over......"

Jian Rou took out a pot of water from the storage artifact and handed it to Long Yue: "Brother Long, it's useless to be in a hurry, it is estimated that these snakes were attracted by other teams." As long as we stay safe, that's the biggest win, isn't it?"

Long Yue took the water from Jian Rou's hand, took two sips, and then said with a smile: "Yes, life is more important than anything else, after all, I haven't even talked about a relationship......" After saying that, he looked at Jian Rou.

After hearing this, Jian Rou blushed suddenly, and in addition to being shy, there was a trace of melancholy hanging between her eyebrows: "Brother Long, I'm sorry, I may ...... Still can't ......"

"It's okay, I can wait until you accept me. I genuinely want to be nice to you, you know. Without waiting for Jian Rou to finish speaking, Long Yue hurriedly said. The two fell into an impasse all of a sudden, while Yi Ruqiu on the side was watching the show, waiting for Jian Rou's reply. Long Yue and Jian Rou have known each other for a long time, but Yi Ruqiu and Sun Rongjian were only temporarily separated, and they didn't know each other. Yi Ruqiu is a very gossipy girl, and Sun Rongjian is a boy who likes to act alone.

Just when the team was in an embarrassing situation, Sun Rongjian in the rear suddenly shouted, and then rushed forward frantically as if he had lost his mind. Long Yue and Jian Rou subconsciously looked back, only to see a black tornado attacking in the direction of Long Yue and the others at a terrifying speed, standing proudly between the heavens and the earth like a giant dragon, rolling up monstrous wind and sand. The wind moved at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached a position more than ten meters behind several people.

"Run!" Long Yue hurriedly took Jian Rou's jade hand and led the team to run forward desperately.

Sun Rongjian slammed into his body with the Wind Acceleration Soul Technique, far away from the tornado, and at this time, he couldn't care about the others at all.

But at the speed of this demonic wind, there was no way they could escape in any way, and everyone knew that—but there was nothing they could do.

Roar –

"Rou'er, hold on to ......" Long Yue gritted his teeth, and all his spiritual power burst out instantly, condensing into a huge spherical barrier, wrapping the bodies of the two. The next moment, I saw the sand and rocks dancing wildly in front of them, the sky was dark, and as the air gradually became turbid and breathing became more and more difficult, everyone could no longer see anything.

The sudden black whirlwind swept the four of them into the eye of the storm in an instant, and disappeared into the desolate valley with the four of Long Yue......

......

"There seems to be a tornado in the west...... Ye Rui couldn't help but be startled when he saw the corner of the black whirlwind in the distance, "There are a few breaths of life that have disappeared out of thin air." ”

You Xuanhao swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "It seems that the environmental conditions here are even worse than imagined...... Over there is Long Yue's team, I'm afraid it has been attacked by the storm. We also need to be careful. ”

The yellow sand on the ground whistled in the wind, rendering the desolation of the valley. Occasionally, a small beetle crawled by, making a subtle sound that was different from the sound of wind and sand, and the frightened people hurriedly waved their weapons, but the result was only in vain.

"Brother You, let's rest for a while! If you continue like this, the physical exertion is too great, and everyone can't bear it......" Even if he didn't want to drag down the team, he still had the strength to move forward, Ye Rui still reluctantly made a request.

You Xuanhao looked at everyone and saw that everyone was tired, so he nodded.

The four of them faced four different directions, sitting in a group, leaning on their backs, each holding a weapon in case of accidents. The four of them took turns drinking water, wanting to chat but not wanting to expend more energy, so they all sat where they were, looking into the barren distance. A few minutes passed, but there was not a single movement around.

"Do you have any meat on you?" You Xuanhao suddenly asked.

"No, our family has been vegetarian lately. Su Xiaoli said.

You Xuanhao looked at Huang Ming. Huang Ming also shook his head: "I only brought bread to satisfy my hunger temporarily." ”

Ye Rui thought for a while and asked, "Brother You, don't you want to catch the black snake and take the bait?"

"That's all there is to it. We have to keep our strength up against them. You Xuanhao said, "But now it seems that I can only use my blood to lure them out." ”

"We've come all the way, we're already very tired, Brother You, are you physically able to eat?"

"If it's just a little bit of blood, it should be fine. You Xuanhao said, "However, I seem to have a better way." ”

"What's the solution?" asked everyone in unison.

You Xuanhao smiled and took out the black snake "Xiaomo" from the Tianxin bracelet. As soon as Xiao Mo came into contact with the air of the Empty Valley of Sorrow, he suddenly came to his senses, and his eyes revealed surprise. When Su Xiaoli and Huang Ming saw the crown black snake, they were really startled, and hurriedly got up and took a few steps back.

"Xiaomo, this is where you live, can you take us to your home?" You Xuanhao gently touched Xiaomo's head and put it on the ground.

Xiao Mo hesitated for a moment, nodded like a human, and then crawled forward.

However, at this moment, the ground suddenly began to tremble.

"Rustle—"

As soon as You Xuanhao's words fell, suddenly thousands of sand and stones flew up from the ground, turning into the appearance of earthy yellow dragons, circling upward, rolling up a huge tornado. Immediately, the storm turned from yellow to black, let out a dragon roar, and attacked You Xuanhao's team.

"Everyone, defend!" You Xuanhao said, his facial muscles twitched, his pupils kept dilating, obviously he was not lightly frightened, but the others were not lightly frightened - Su Xiaoli and Huang Ming were directly frightened to the point that their feet were weak and fell to the ground; Ye Rui was not intimidated, but his performance was also very exaggerated.

"Water shield!" You Xuanhao suddenly opened the vortex of the eight death holes behind him, the sword was retracted into the Tianxin bracelet, and the spiritual power surged into his palms, conjuring up a huge wall of water, no, it was a hemispherical defensive barrier. As soon as the four soul beads appeared, they emitted a dazzling light, and their rotation speed became faster and faster.

Ye Rui also joined the action, and three vines tightly wrapped around the waists of the other three, pinning the four of them together.

"Hurry! Brother You needs spiritual support!" Ye Rui looked at the black tornado that was getting closer and closer, and shouted.

Only then did Su Xiaoli and Huang Ming react and hurriedly transmitted their spiritual power into You Xuanhao's body. You Xuanhao's whole body was shocked, and he felt that the spiritual power in his body was abundant, so he roared loudly and continued to strengthen the water shield.

Soon, a tornado struck, and all the trees, sand and rocks flew away.

You Xuanhao and the four of them stood in place, watching the black tornado hit the water shield - the moment the wind rushed up, the water shield trembled, and the wind and sand collapsed, until they floated through the hemispherical barrier and converged into a tornado, but they did not break through the soft water shield.

"Whew-" The four of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with the Longyue team, You Xuanhao's team is more united, and most importantly, You Xuanhao's water shield that can defeat rigidity with softness is something that the Longyue team does not have, which makes the fate of the two teams completely different......

That's weird!

Just as everyone relaxed their vigilance, a black tentacle-like object suddenly drilled out of the ground and grabbed Su Xiaoli's ankle tightly.

"Ahh

Ye Rui turned around and was shocked: "Sister Xiaoli!" The relaxed vines tightened again, wrapping around Su Xiaoli's waist.

At this time, You Xuanhao's reaction could be said to be very fast, only to see him take out the nameless sword from the Tianxin bracelet, and with a quick swing, he cut off the dark tentacles.

"Damn, it's scared to death......" Huang Ming was frightened, and he couldn't use his soul magic at once, and he was about to give up hope of life at this time.

You Xuanhao looked around and didn't dare to relax any longer.

However, the dangers are one after the other...... Just as the four of them were defending their tentacles, the earth collapsed without warning!

The four of them were caught off guard, swallowed by the yellow sand, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

......

Above the valley, a figure flashed.

The plain-clothed man looked at the sinking yellow sand, shook his head, and said to himself, "It's up to them to make it now...... Sixteen of them were taken down, and if it weren't for the fact that the hell place was enchanted and age-restricted, I would have killed it a long time ago. Children, don't let me down......"

Then an old man in black appeared next to the man, and as soon as he saw him, he scolded the man in plain clothes: "This is what you said about black snakes eating people?" Kong Shuangqiu, I know that you really want to kill that old snake, your mother died here, how can I not be in pain, but you deceived me and made me give a false order! Those black snakes only defend themselves when they are provoked, and I have just realized the wrongness of things. Those children are all elites, they are all the hope of the Soul Dao Palace, if something happens to them, Lao Tzu will be dismissed immediately! You don't want to inherit the position of the president of the trade union!"

The man named Kong Shuangqiu smiled: "Dad, since I was a child, how many things have you seen me do that I am not sure of?"

The old man Kong Tian sighed, "Then why did you never succeed in arranging Yao'er's blind date?"

"......" Kong Shuangqiu was speechless, looked at the desolate valley, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

......

You Xuanhao patted his painful head with his hand, feeling the terrifying aura here. Fragments of memory in his brain suddenly burst out, scaring him into a cold sweat.

Looking at the three people who passed out in a coma, You Xuanhao blamed himself a little. Anyway, it was because I didn't react that everyone fell off.

This is the Eye of the Wild, and You Xuanhao captured this information from memory. There is not just one, but ten, of the Eyes of the Wild, each of which is an extremely terrifying existence, and this Empty Valley of Sorrow should be the safest of them all, because this place has suffered a devastating blow, and the enchantment here is also left behind at that time.

Why did I come here in my previous life? Why hadn't I heard Old Man Rong talk about such a place as the Wild Eye before? Many questions swirled in You Xuanhao's mind.

You Xuanhao didn't dare to act rashly now, because he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be alive in the next second. Every few meters in the underground passage, a fluorescent stone glows not very brightly, illuminating the entire passage.

Not long after, Su Xiaoli woke up, looking at the dim underground space, the whole person was stunned.

"Captain, we seem to be in a terrible place......

"yes, that's amazing...... You Xuanhao said, "I can't believe I've been here before." ”

"Huh?"

"Nothing ......"

Then Ye Rui and Huang Ming woke up one after another, looking at the scene in front of them, they all felt a little confused.

"Listen to everyone, we may have been deceived by that old man Kongtian...... The place we are in now is called the 'Wild Eye', and although I don't know what is inside, I can only find a way out by moving forward. Can you understand what I mean?" You Xuanhao said seriously.

Ye Rui and the three nodded.

"Xiaomo doesn't know where to go, I guess he fled back to the cave, and I have taken care of it for so long...... However, even if there is a net here, I will lead you out of it. The corners of You Xuanhao's mouth rose, and a wave of confidence poured into his chest.

After a brief observation of the surrounding terrain, the four decided to move forward first.

"In my opinion, since they brought us here, not to kill us, presumably the demon here is not for the purpose of cannibalism, or the only purpose is not to eat people......," Ye Rui analyzed seriously.

But Huang Ming immediately refuted Ye Rui's point of view: "What if he likes to eat alive, let you watch your organs being dug up little by little, and then eat you?"

Ye Rui, You Xuanhao, and Su Xiaoli couldn't help but shudder at the same time.

Don't let you be right!

Along the underground passage, walking around a corner, You Xuanhao, who was walking in the forefront, was suddenly startled and almost sat on the ground.

"I'll wipe it, are you a human or a ghost!" ......You Xuanhao looked at the girl with long hair in front of him, and then looked at the extremely faint shadow on the ground, and after making sure that she was not a ghost, he noticed the woman's lower body......

"The basilisk?"

"Wait, don't hurt me!" The girl couldn't help but be a little scared when she saw You Xuanhao holding the sword in her hand. "Master, I'm Xiaomo. ”

"Xiaomo, no, no, no, it can't be, my Xiaomo can't be so cute. Who are you, how do you know that I have a pet snake named Xiaomo, said!" You Xuanhao looked incredulous.

"I, I'm really Mo. Master, you asked me to lead the way just now, and I just came back from exploring the road, and you don't recognize me?" the girl said aggrievedly.

You Xuanhao still couldn't believe it: "But, are you a mother? It's incredible, the spirit beast can actually transform, and ...... Chest...... Why is it so big......"

"Our crown black snake is also divided into different races, and the white-bellied clan is born with the ability to transform, but under normal circumstances, it will not be easily revealed. ”

"Anyway, we've been asleep for a while. You Xuanhao said, "Where have you been during this time?"

"I returned to the king's side. Xiaomo replied honestly.

"King?" the crowd was shocked.

"Hmm. Our great Serpent King. Because I had been missing for a while, I went back and reported it to the king. Unexpectedly, the king said that human beings are insatiable and sinful, and that they would use your body and soul to refine the Soul Restoration Pill, but I don't want you to lose your lives because of our king's selfish desires, so I rushed back......"

"This girl, we have no reason to believe you. Ye Ruidao, he had had enough of torture today, he didn't expect to encounter so much trouble when he went out this time, if he didn't run out of the family, how could there be so much pain...... Therefore, he is on the highest alert at the moment.

Seeing that his words did not win trust, Xiaomo felt wronged, and the corners of his eyes were moist, and he was about to cry.

"Captain, she's going to cry. Su Xiaoli pulled You Xuanhao's sleeve.

"I know. You Xuanhao said, "Xiaomo, I believe in you." We've come here to ease the relationship between your Crown Black Serpent and us humans, but it seems like we'll have to get out of the way for now. Can you tell us the route of this empty cave first?"

When the girl heard this, she was immediately amused, and without saying a word, she drew the route of all the passages in the empty cave on the soft ground.

"The place where the stars are drawn is where everyone is now. ”

"What a complicated route...... It's really a great design, the intelligence of the crown black snake is not inferior to human ...... at all" You Xuanhao took a cursory look at the picture on the ground and exclaimed.

After thinking for a few seconds, he said: "Xiaomo, are you willing to conclude a contract with me? If you recognize me as the master, it will naturally be beneficial for you to conclude a contract with me, and once you conclude a contract, you will not be able to hurt me, so that I can fully trust you." ”

Ye Rui couldn't help but be shocked when he heard You Xuanhao's words, "Brother You, do you really believe her completely? Even if a contract is concluded, as long as she wants to hurt us, it will be effortless in their territory, and there will be hundreds of ways if there are not tens of thousands." ”

"Yes, it doesn't take much effort to hurt us. So why did the Snake King send her to plot against us? If it weren't for the topographic map provided by Xiaomo, we wouldn't have been able to get out at all, and we would die of thirst and starvation before long. I choose to trust her, and I ask you to trust my judgment. You Xuanhao patted Ye Rui's shoulder.

When Ye Rui heard this, he bowed his head and was silent.

"I believe in you, Captain. Huang Ming said with a smile.

"I believe in you. Su Xiaoli also expressed her attitude, anyway, there is no other better way now.

Seeing that everyone else was supportive, Ye Rui had no choice but to say, "Brother You, don't let us down." ”

He naturally wouldn't have thought about it now, since this incident, he firmly believed that there was nothing in the world that You Xuanhao couldn't do.

And You Xuanhao was calculating in his heart what to do next. Xiao Mo gave him a very good intuition, from the moment he bought her, he felt that this snake was very close to him, but this alone was not enough, and signing an agreement with Xiao Mo could not completely guarantee that she would not indirectly harm the four people, but following her might be able to escape from here, if he really couldn't escape the fate of being refined by the snake king, he couldn't help it.

So You Xuanhao and Xiaomo signed a blood agreement, and the souls of one person and one snake were closely linked.

"Master, from now on, Xiaomo is your woman!" Xiao Mo smiled, taking advantage of You Xuanhao's inattention, stretched out the snake letter, and kissed You Xuanhao with her sexy lips.
