Under the leadership of Zou Haiyan, the group hurried up, and Hong Yuan, who was driving behind, also sped up, advancing much faster.

Before sunset, the group came to a male pass.

On both sides of the level, there are cliffs that are difficult for apes to climb, towering into the sky, and it seems that birds cannot cross them. A checkpoint divides the mountain into two parts, guarding the only way in and out. If you want to walk from the mountain to bypass this level, you have to go around hundreds of miles in the mountains at least, and you can't get around it for half a month.

Death!

Everyone traveled all the way, and finally came to the world-famous Ghost Gate.

It is said that a primitive checkpoint was built here hundreds of years ago, and later, after being expanded and reinforced by the alliance year after year, it was transformed into a majestic and precipitous fortress. With 10,000 elite soldiers stationed here, even if it is suddenly attacked by 100,000 enemy troops, it will be safe and sound.

Historically, the Western Regions Alien Coalition Army has repeatedly suddenly approached the city, wanting to break through the Ghost Gate Pass and march east to attack Night Dragon City. As a result, the ferocious offensive came to an abrupt end every time it reached the Ghost Gate, and the troops had to retreat after leaving behind a large number of corpses. It is rumored that under the ground outside the ghost gate, there are layers of bones buried. In one of the ballads of the Alliance, there are graves everywhere, and there are bones in the ground inch by inch, which is about the ghost gate. The legend of the demons and monsters in the Ghost Gate Pass has been around for a long time, and no one dares to wander outside the level after dark.

"Let's go!"

Zou Haiyan raised her horsewhip and pulled it down hard, rushed out first, and led everyone to the city gate of the Ghost Gate.

"Stop! Who are they, where are they coming from, and where are they going?

The gatekeepers shouted so hard that they stopped the crowd and blocked the gates.

"The captain of the dragon hunting team, Zou Haiyan, is from Donghai City and goes to the Daredevil Stone Forest. "Zou Haiyan was the first to report her name and origin, although the power of the Dayou family is extraordinary in Donghai City, but when she arrives in a strange place, she takes the initiative to abide by the rules here, and she doesn't want to cause any trouble.

Liang Laosan and the others were also mostly from famous families, and when they were all young and vigorous, they looked at the guards with an arrogant attitude, and their hearts were suddenly angry, but seeing that Zou Haiyan was polite, they had to follow the honest name and walk under the noses of the guards one by one.

The seven or eight people in front were all fine, and they quickly passed the interrogation, and when they arrived in Hongyuan, it became complicated.

The guards were not willing to give up after asking Hong Yuan's name and origin, perhaps seeing that Hong Yuan was a driver, they made it particularly difficult, turning inside and outside the carriage, and asked Hong Yuan to take off his big hat and look at it with a wanted painting. In the end, after tossing for almost half an hour, I couldn't find any suspicion, so I waved my hand with a cold face and let me go. On the edge of the city gate, a large group of people were stranded, and the guards refused to let them go because their origin was unclear or they were dressed suspiciously.

When the night came as scheduled, the people stranded outside the city became nervous and frightened, and they came forward to question, and some people were excited to speak disrespectfully, and as a result, they were seriously injured by the guards who rushed up and stabbed them, and then tied up and fell on the head of the city to show the public. Behind the city gate, a group of black-pressed flame knights appeared, and began to assemble in formation and prepare to charge. Under the intense pressure, people had to retreat, looking at the night getting thicker and thicker, and shrunk under the roots of the city.

Hong Yuan drove slowly forward, secretly seeing the movement behind him clearly, and knew that the situation was worse than expected.

Seeing the situation behind them, Zou Haiyan, Liang Laosan and the others also became solemn, quickly found an inn to live in, and prepared to rest for a night before leaving for the Night Demon Stone Forest tomorrow.

From the outside, the Ghost Gate Pass is a well-fortified fortress, but inside the gate, it looks no different from a normal town, with many shops and inns lining the streets. At night, almost every inn was crowded with people, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and a large number of adventurers and caravans had been stranded in the checkpoint for several days. Some people have even been stranded for up to seven days, and all kinds of food such as fruits and meat that are going to be brought to Night Dragon City for sale are already moldy, and they are in a hurry.

After settling in at the inn, the group had just finished eating and had no time to go to bed, when a group of soldiers rushed in like tigers and wolves to start a new round of investigation. This time, in addition to reporting your name, place of origin and identity, you must also provide relevant road guidance certificates. Those who do not have a way to guide them are not allowed to leave the city.

Under the cover of night, a similar scene appeared in every inn in the Ghost Gate Pass, and the adventurers and business travelers stranded in the city suddenly exploded. In the alliance, although there has long been no rule that you can't go out, it has always been a mere formality, and no one really does it. Almost none of the adventurers and merchants stranded in the Ghost Gate Pass had a guide on them, and in a hurry, some people stood up and protested loudly, echoing each other to go to the Ghost Gate General's Mansion to demonstrate. As a result, halfway through, he was bloodily suppressed by the Flame Knights.

In the face of the arrogance and pressure of the soldiers, Liang Laosan and the others were very angry, and when they wanted to go forward together to discuss the explanation, they were stopped by Zou Haiyan and strictly ordered them to go back to their rooms to rest.

As the night darkens, a boundless black curtain envelops the land.

Outside, the streets and alleys were full of riots and bloody suppression, but Hong Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate. From beginning to end, he didn't come forward, and watched calmly and coldly.

Originally, it was not far from the Night Demon Stone Forest when it arrived at the Ghost Gate, and only half of the distance was left. Now he is forced to stay, and even has to be driven out, blocked by this Xiongguan.

The so-called Demon Beast Wave and Night Demon are excuses, and Lu Yin is also an excuse, but they are just excuses for the Chu family to prevent themselves from completing their tasks and to find themselves out!

Hong Yuan's heart was bright, and he became more and more sure of his inference, and after a long time, he quietly left the inn while no one was paying attention.

From time to time, groups of neatly lined up soldiers running past with torches ran by, suppressing the rioting crowd and beginning to order martial law throughout the city.

Hong Yuan pressed the big hat on his head, lurking in the darkness and coldly watching the tiger and wolf soldier walk under his nose, and it didn't take long for him to wait for the opportunity, lock on a soldier who had fallen behind, and at the moment when he was about to take off his pants in the corner, he rushed out and dragged him into the darkness. It didn't take much effort to ask for the location of the General's Mansion, and secretly flew away.

The situation was very bad, although he already had a rough idea of what was going on, Hong Yuan was still ready to visit the General's Mansion at night in person. On the one hand, it is to find evidence to confirm his speculation, and on the other hand, it is also to seek a way to deal with it, only by knowing the specific details of the actions of the Chu family and the Flame Knights can he find a way to crack it!

When everyone was excited and angry, Hong Yuan watched coldly;

When others began to be scared and had to stay honestly in the inn, he began to act boldly.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Ghost Gate General's Mansion in the checkpoint is heavily guarded, and a large number of flame knights are stationed, which is an out-and-out Longtan Tiger's Den. People can take to the streets to protest and riot, but no one dares to break into the Ghost Gate General's Mansion, but Hong Yuan does not. He broke through a place like the Dragon City Beast Arena overnight, and naturally he was not afraid of a general's mansion.

In the thick of the night, the city gates were closed, and people who could not enter the city were stranded outside the city, some camped on the spot, and many more shrank under the roots of the city without the slightest preparation. No one noticed, but a multitude of vampire bats, tomb knife scorpions, and grimace butterflies crept in, scattering and landing on the treetops, hiding in the grass and among the rocks.

The War Pet Legion quietly came to the Ghost Gate Gate, spreading out as much as possible without alarming anyone.

Perhaps he heard some rumors or sensed danger, Hong Python, who temporarily replaced the Blood Bat King to lead the army, immediately made a decision and led the battle pet army to advance the battle line to the Ghost Gate, ready to meet Hong Yuan who was walking in front at any time.

In the inn, Liang Laosan and the others, who had been tired all day, fell asleep one after another, but Zou Haiyan suddenly sat up from the bed, her body came out of the window like a light swallow, walked on the narrow windowsill like flying, and quietly came to Hong Yuan's room. Looking through the window, it was empty.

"This uncle, something is really wrong!"

"It's strange, who is he, why did he blend in with his dragon hunting team?

Zou Haiyan was puzzled, muttered for a while, and quietly returned to her room, pretending not to know anything.
