Outside Heping Town, there is a mountain called Xiaobarren Mountain about seven or eight miles away. The mountain is not big or high, and the strange rocks are covered with low shrubs. There were many mounds scattered among the trees, some of which had been washed away by the rain, revealing the bones inside. This is a mass grave in Heping Town, where many nameless corpses are buried.

Every time the clouds bloom, many adventurers and caravans flock to them, eager to find some treasure or make a fortune. Some people returned with a full load, and some died in a foreign land, leaving no names.

The small barren mountains are gloomy during the day, but at night, the cold wind here looks even more terrible, and no one will come here at this time, and they don't even dare to pass by nearby, and take a detour from afar. In the cold wind, mixed with bursts of hissing, there were countless pythons coiling up and down the mountain. If someone passes by, they will be scared half to death if they look at it from a distance.

Hong Yuan was not afraid at all, and rushed all the way.

Seeing Hong Yuan's figure, large and small pythons were busy avoiding and making a way in the barren mountains. On the top of the mountain, several figures flew over, and Hong Python, Zhu Wuji and Ghost Five came down the mountain to greet them. The three of them had been waiting here for a long time after successfully rendezvous outside the town.

"My lord, why did you come here suddenly?" asked Hong Python, a little puzzled in his heart.

According to the agreement, Hong Yuan will come tomorrow morning and enter the Night Demon Stone Forest together. The third watch came suddenly in the middle of the night, something must have happened!

"The situation has changed, and it is very likely that the Blood Bat King Hong Bat was trapped in the Night Demon Stone Forest by others. ”

Hong Yuan stood halfway up the mountainside, looking at Heping Town and the Daredevil Stone Forest from afar.

The arrival of a large number of adventurers and business trips made Heping Town lively, and it was still brightly lit in the middle of the night. The direction of the Night Demon Stone Forest was dark, and only a huge silhouette could be vaguely seen, like a huge ancient beast lying on the ground, and a murderous aura came from afar.

"My lord, when are you leaving?" asked Hong Python.

"Now, let's go!"

Hong Yuan replied in a deep voice, the aura of the Night Demon Stone Forest was unsettling, and it was never a wise thing to do to go in now, but Hong Yuan still made a decision immediately.

Through the Violent Blood Pill and the Violent Blood Cage, a new King of Demon Beasts can be cultivated, but since he devoured the blood essence and power of the Bat Demon in the Leiyin Temple and opened his spiritual wisdom, the Blood Bat King is no longer an ordinary King of Demon Beasts, and has vaguely broken through the innate shackles of the Bat Clan, and is expected to transform into a super demon beast of the same level as the Hong Python, or even more powerful, and can become the commander of the War Pet Legion. For such a capable subordinate, Hong Yuan will certainly not die without help.

"Leaving now?"

Hong Python was surprised, the change came too quickly and unexpectedly. Before dawn, it is okay to enter the Daredevil Stone Forest an hour or two early, and if you encounter a surprise attack by the Night Demon, you can hold on until dawn for a while, and if you set off now, it will be dangerous in case you encounter a sudden attack by a large group of Night Demon in the Stone Forest.

"What, Hong Python, what's the problem?" asked Hong Yuan.

Hong Python hesitated for a moment, and said respectfully: "No, everything is subject to the orders of the adults, and all the legions under his command are ready and can set off at any time." ”

"Ghost Five, what about you?" Hong Yuan looked at Ghost Five who was standing aside.

"We are ready, we are all at the mercy of your lordship!"

After meeting outside the town and seeing the power of Hong Yuan's Bat Legion, Scorpion Legion, Ghostface Butterfly and Python Legion, he was shocked and even more impressed by Hong Yuan.

"The situation is unknown, and it is not appropriate to lead all the troops into the Night Demon Stone Forest at once. In this way, Hong Python, you stay and lead the army to respond outside, and each legion will send out a team of 1,000 people to form a mixed team and follow me into the stone forest, and Zhu Wuji, you will be in charge of commanding. Ghost Five, you can bring ten elite knights, no more. "Hong Yuan ordered, cut through the mess quickly, and everything was simple.

"Good!"

"Yes!"

Hong Python, Zhu Wuji, and Ghost Five all bowed down to receive the order, and soon, a mixed team was assembled at the foot of the mountain. Ghost Five also specially brought a sturdy war horse to Hong Yuan, and brought ten of the most fierce masters of the Ghost Mask Knights, and the young but witty Ghost Sanyong was also among them. Hong Yuan looked these ten elite knights up and down, and the more he looked at them, the more he appreciated them, the Ghost Five Soldiers had been in the army for many years, and the masters under his command were all battle-hardened warriors on the battlefield, each one was braver than the other.

"Your name is Ghost Sanyong?" Hong Yuan deliberately glanced at Ghost Sanyong a few more times, admiring the latter's loyalty, courage and wit, which is worth focusing on.

"Yes. ”

Ghost Sanyong was wearing black armor, and only a pair of eyes were visible from top to bottom, but he could still see that his gaze was a little cramped.

"Yes, the armor and mask are good, are they?" Hong Yuan asked, looking at the outfits of the Ghost-Faced Riders, he suddenly had an idea in his heart.

"Yes, come on, send it to Childe!"

Ghost Wu vaguely understood what Hong Yuan meant, and as soon as he gave an order, a soldier who was about the same size as Hong Yuan took the initiative to take off the armor on his body and take off his mask, and respectfully offered it with both hands. Hong Yuan took it, put it on his body on the spot, and put a grimace mask on the mask of the middle-aged wandering swordsman, revealing only a pair of eyes on his body, Qiao Zhuang became a ghost-faced knight.

"Ghost Five, you will command this operation, and Hong Python and Zhu Wuji will listen to your orders. The purpose is twofold, first, to rescue the Blood Bat King trapped in the Seven Killing Array, and second, to seize the Cloud and Mist Lingzhi in the Night Demon Stone Forest. Hong Yuan ordered in a deep voice, letting go and letting Ghost Five command the action. In terms of cultivation and combat effectiveness, Ghost Five is not necessarily the opponent of Hong Python and Zhu Wuji; but as the deputy commander and number one master of Ghost Gate Pass, Ghost Five has been honed in the army for decades, and his command ability is definitely above Hong Python and Zhu Wuji.

"Obey, thank you for your trust......!

Ghost Wu hesitated a little, and agreed confidently and bravely, but in order to ensure Hong Yuan's safety, the pressure was also very high, and said: "The Night Demon Stone Forest is dangerous, and his subordinates suggest increasing a certain number of troops and leading a hundred Ghost Face Riders in!"

"It's okay, you have the final say!"

Hong Yuan nodded, not stubborn, and soon, there was a row of black-pressed ghost-faced horsemen standing in front of him. After making preparations, the group quickly left in the hazy night, a hundred ghost-faced knights, a thousand pythons, a thousand tomb knife scorpions, and a thousand vampire bats and ghost-faced butterflies, plus Zhu Wuji, the Scorpion King, the three-tailed fox and the big fat cat and other powerful demon beasts, forming a mixed team and setting off overnight.

While everyone was waiting for dawn, Hong Yuan acted decisively, and the mixed team bypassed Heping Town and headed straight for the dark Daredevil Stone Forest. The night was dark, no one had discovered their whereabouts, and the stone forest under the night was like a huge ghost space, and like a giant beast that eats people and does not spit out bones, quietly waiting for the arrival of its prey.
