The cavalry was menacing, and the black pressed the crowd to besiege the people.

The atmosphere became more and more tense, and after a while, a leader-like cavalryman rode out, pulled down his mask to reveal a long, narrow face, and his voice was also cold, "Who are you, where do you come from, and where are you going?"

"We are adventurers from Donghai City, ready to go to the Daredevil Stone Forest. The Flame Knights are very powerful, and your Grand Commander is in a high position in the Alliance, but can you do whatever you want and surround people at will?" Zou Haiyan asked rhetorically, calming down, recognizing the origin of these cavalry.

Continue to walk along the official road, you will reach a military town of Ghost Gate Pass, the Flame Knights are an elite army of the alliance stationed in the Ghost Gate Pass, guarding the alliance's main transportation route to the Western Regions, and it is also an iron cavalry guarding the Ghost Ridge Mountain Range.

Compared with the Hualong Empire located in the Central Plains, the environment of the alliance is much harsher, located in the southern frontier of the Divine Ghost Continent, there are many hills and mountains in the territory, and many places are large areas of primeval forests, monsters are rampant, and if you are not careful, it is possible to break out a wave of monsters, rushing out of large groups of monsters and destroying many towns.

Of the nine forbidden places in the Gods and Ghosts Continent, there are three in the alliance, and it is rumored that each forbidden land is entrenched in a large number of powerful demon beasts. For this, considerable energy and forces of the alliance were restrained. For example, build Leaf Shattering City outside the Endless Abyss, move the former Alliance Overlord Ye Family there, and beware of a large number of demon beasts rushing out of the Endless Abyss to do evil. One of the reasons for building the Ghost Gate Pass in this lofty mountain and stationing the Flame Legion is also to beware of the demon beasts in the depths of the Ghost Ridge Mountain Range rushing out.

"Little girl, do you know anything about the Flame Knights?"

The cavalry commander was a little surprised, looking up and down at Zou Haiyan who stepped forward, his voice was cold, but there was a smile on his face, it was a scorn of contempt, and the habits he had experienced on the battlefield were deep cold-blooded and ferocious. The face looks like a smile, and if you don't agree with a word, it will be a fatal killing move immediately.

The cavalry followed the horses and stepped forward, giving the people even more intense oppression.

Hong Yuan was nothing, and continued to watch coldly, but Liang Laosan and the others became more and more panicked. Fighting alone, these cavalry may not be very powerful, but the ferocity honed on the battlefield makes people feel pressure.

Zou Haiyan was also nervous, but on the surface, she was not to be outdone, "Of course you know, your Grand Commander Zhou Tiejun is very powerful, and his high-ranking and powerful cultivation is also quite good, but he has to be polite when he arrives in our East China Sea City." ”

"You...... Do you know our Commander Zhou?"

The cavalry commander was even more surprised, carefully looked up and down at Zou Haiyan standing in front of him, his eyes swept over the latter's well-made battle robe, and then landed on the long sword on Zou Haiyan's waist, noticed a flying fish badge engraved on the hilt of the sword, recognized it as the badge of the Zou family of the big family of Donghai City, and his face changed slightly, "Who are you Zou Biluo of Donghai City?"

"It's my father. Zou Haiyan replied.

"It turned out to be the eldest lady of the Zou family, offended. ”

The cavalry commander raised his hand, and many subordinates understood, and put away their weapons together. The invisible coercion that made everyone uneasy quickly dissipated.

After learning Zou Haiyan's identity, this team of flame knights was no longer murderous, but they did not leave immediately, the cavalry commander took out a calligraphy and painting from his arms, and shook it away with a loud noise, "Miss, do you know this person, have you seen him on the road?"

On the calligraphy and painting, a young man is depicted, and his figure is not too tall, but his waist is straight and he looks ahead, giving people the feeling of being lofty. Hong Yuan glanced up, and unexpectedly found that it was his own portrait, and I don't know who it was, the painting was almost exactly the same as a real person, and even the expression was extremely realistic.

It turns out that these Flame Knights are actually here for themselves!

He has nothing to do with the Flame Knights, obviously, it is a good thing done by the Chu family. Unable to find any trace of himself in Night Dragon City, he set up a second checkpoint on the way and secretly bought the famous Flame Knights!

Hong Yuan was silent on the surface, but secretly he quickly understood what was going on.

Outside the Night Dragon City, the Chu family still has such a great amount of energy that can make the famous Flame Knights serve them. It seems that the power of the Chu family is really extraordinary, and in order to retaliate, all tricks have been used. This trip to the Night Demon Stone Forest not only had to forcibly break into the forbidden place to deal with the terrible Night Demon, but also to face the revenge and surprise attack of the Chu family at any time.

Hong Yuan suddenly understood why Ge Hong took this task to assess himself, the task of the Night Demon Stone Forest was far more complicated than expected, and it was also much more dangerous, requiring not only strong combat power, but also extraordinary mind. As Ge Hong said, only by passing this level can he officially go to the front line to fight with the Hualong Empire, and only in this way can he deter some young people and make them dare not make any small moves. Sometimes, the great power is not for the sake of power or mystery, but for the sake of deterrence. With a strong deterrent power, it can avoid many open guns and hidden arrows and unnecessary troubles, which is the giant's mental trick.

The mental technique of an alliance giant is really not something that ordinary people can understand, and it can't be seen at all until a certain time!

Hong Yuan had a feeling in his heart, secretly figuring out Ge Hong's mental technique, and when he was pondering, Zou Haiyan also seemed to be a little distracted, then shook his head and said coldly: "I don't know, I've never seen it." ”

"Miss, are you sure you really haven't seen it?" the cavalry commander asked again, his gaze sweeping over everyone's faces, and then falling on Hong Yuan's head. Looking at Hong Yuan, who was wearing a big hat, his eyes suddenly showed a cold light.

Hong Yuan knew what the cavalry commander was suspicious of, so he naturally took the initiative to take off the big hat on his head, and saw that it was a completely unfamiliar middle-aged man's face, and the cavalry commander withdrew his fierce gaze.

"Sure. ”

Zou Haiyan replied, categorically without the slightest hesitation.

"Alright then, if you see this person at any time, please be sure to notify us as soon as possible, go!"

The cavalry commander reluctantly put away the portrait, and led the cavalry to turn around and ride away, and they had already walked out for a long time, before the voice came coldly, "Miss, the Daredevil Stone Forest is not a place to come out to have fun, you had better return to Donghai City as soon as possible." The mountains are dangerous, and powerful monsters rush out from the depths of the Ghost Ridge Mountains at any time. Be extra careful when sleeping in the wilderness, it is rumored that a night demon escaped from the stone forest, and accidentally encountered a fierce night demon in this barren mountain and wilderness, and no one can save you. ”

Many flame knights quickly moved away, and under the night sky, Zou Haiyan and the others' faces changed greatly.

"Swallow, a night demon escaped from the stone forest?"

The fat man Liang Laosan's face was pale, and he looked around and felt that there was danger everywhere, "No, isn't the night demon the master of the stone forest, escape?"

"I don't know, don't ask me, I don't know the specifics. It's just that many years ago, I vaguely saw a brief record in a travelogue, saying that there was an ancient prohibition on the periphery of the Night Demon Stone Forest, and the night demons inside couldn't get out. Zou Haiyan replied, her face was also uneasy, according to the meaning of the cavalry commander, the situation seemed to be a little bad.

The group returned to the camp, and there was still some time before dawn, but looking at the thick night, all of them had no sleepiness and gathered around the fire with a lot of thoughts, only Hong Yuan fell asleep on the bed.

Zou Haiyan was also preoccupied, and with the help of the firelight, she suddenly found a group of scorpions not far away, spreading out and burrowing into the cracks in the stones and grass. In the wild, it's normal to encounter reptiles such as scorpions, but it's still a little irritating to come in a large group all at once. After driving away a few scorpions that were too close, the more Zou Haiyan thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't think of anything wrong for a while.
