Chapter 264: Ghost Gate

Early the next morning, the group hurriedly set off and continued to the Daredevil Stone Forest.

Last night, the cavalry commander's words before leaving made people's hearts furious, but the group was all young people, and it was when they were young and vigorous, and they forgot about it when they slept and continued to laugh and play all the way along the road. Zou Haiyan, who usually plays the craziest, is a lot quieter, and seems to have something on her mind.

Hong Yuan drove behind him, following unhurriedly, and he was free alone.

At noon, Liang Laosan, the fat man who was walking in front of the road, accidentally found a wild bayberry forest, and many young people quickly went to the bayberry forest to play after learning the news, but Zou Haiyan stayed, and slowly slowed down and walked with Hong Yuan.

"Yanzi, it's rare to find such a fun place, why don't you go?" asked Hong Yuan, seeing that Zou Haiyan had something to say to himself.

"It's so much fun, it's not fun. ”

Zou Haiyan suddenly burst out of a philosophical sentence, and suddenly saw the scorpion king lying on Hong Yuan's shoulder, and exclaimed, "Uncle, you have a scorpion on your shoulder!"

"Well, I know. Hong Yuan replied.

Zou Haiyan's heart was furious, and she rode her horse away from Hong Yuan, and it took a while before she reacted, "Uncle, this can't be your pet, right?"

"Why, can't you?"

Hong Yuan asked rhetorically, looking at the surprised Zou Haiyan and smiling.

"What a weird uncle!"

Zou Haiyan shook her head, and only after the words came out did she know that her face was red, and she remembered the fat man Liang Laosan's explanation of the so-called strange uncle, and quickly changed the topic, "Uncle, where is the bat pet you used to have?

Others raise cats and dogs, but Hong Yuan raises bats and scorpions, Zou Haiyan looked Hong Yuan up and down as she spoke, and always felt that Hong Yuan's uncle was weird.

"I want to throw it, but I can't throw it away, and lo and behold, that guy is here!" Hong Yuan said with a smile.

Zou Haiyan raised her head, there was nothing in the air, and she was about to say that she had been deceived by Hong Yuan again, when she turned her head to look at it, and saw a small bat almost clinging to the ground and swept out of the woods, the speed was extremely fast, and she arrived in front of her with a sigh, and stopped on Hong Yuan's right shoulder with her wings folded. If it weren't for Hong Yuan's reminder, there would have been no way to find out in advance.

"Uncle, you little bat is so fast!"

Zou Haiyan was surprised, and her heart was a little hairy, so she didn't dare to get too close to Hong Yuan. Now there is a small scorpion and a small bat standing on Hong Yuan's shoulder, which looks even more weird.

"There's no way, those who fly slowly are starving to death. In the early years, I raised a lot of these bats, and now this is the only one left. Hong Yuan opened his mouth and asked, "Miss Swallow, do you have something to do with me?"

"No, no. Uncle, I'll go first, find Liang Laosan and them, lest they play too crazy in the bayberry forest. ”

Zou Haiyan hesitated, quickly whipped the horse and left first, and walked away quickly with one person and one horse.

Hong Yuan watched Zou Haiyan go away, and continued to drive behind without speed or slowness.

"My lord, has this woman noticed our identity?" the Blood Bat King asked while standing on Hong Yuan's shoulder, his eyes suddenly fierce, "Do you want me and the Scorpion King to secretly find an opportunity to ......"

The Blood Bat King was suddenly murderous, his senses were very keen, and as soon as he came back, he noticed that Zou Haiyan's situation was a little strange.

"Unlikely, at most I just found something suspicious. Without my order, don't do it lightly, what's the situation ahead?" asked Hong Yuan.

"More than a hundred miles further on, there is the steep Ghost Gate Pass, the city gate has been sealed for several days, and all adventurers and business travelers are trapped in the Ghost Gate Pass. ”

The Blood Bat King brought back the latest information, first reported the key points, and then continued: "There are big mountains along the way, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, the terrain is treacherous, we have carefully searched along the official road, but we still can't determine if there are any powerful demon beasts lurking. The only thing that can be determined is that the depths of the Ghost Ridge Mountain Range are indeed demonic, entrenched in the super demon beasts that defy the sky. My lord, just in case, my subordinates suggested narrowing the distance between me and the War Pet Army, and it was best to let Hong Python and Zhu Wuji rush over immediately to protect them. ”

The Blood Bat King was worried, and according to his detections, the situation was not optimistic.

"No, it's not necessary yet. ”

Hong Yuan shook his head, he was not afraid of the demon beasts in the depths of the Ghost Ridge Mountain Range, and he didn't mind taking the opportunity to collect more and more powerful demon beasts on the road, but the real trouble was the Flame Knights stationed in the Ghost Gate Pass, "Hong Bat, what is the reason why the Ghost Gate Pass blocks the city gate?"

"I don't know, the Flame Knights have been delaying giving an official reply on the grounds that the Grand Commander Zhou Tiejun has not come back from going out. There are a lot of rumors in the market, some people say that there is a wave of demon beasts in the Guiling Mountain Range, so the ghost gate is closed to prevent the wave of demon beasts from hitting Night Dragon City along the official road; The Blood Bat King's face was solemn.

"Detective, continue to investigate, and find out the situation of the ghost gate. ”

Hong Yuan immediately made a decision, and ordered in a deep voice, "Hong Bat, you go now, first go to the Ghost Gate Pass to learn more about the situation, and then go directly to the Night Demon Stone Forest." Remember, your mission is only to spy and figure out the situation. Before I arrive at the Daredevil Forest, you must not act without permission to break into the Daredevil Forest. It's easy to get in, it's hard to get out, be careful on the road!"

"Be careful, sir!"

The Blood Bat King spread his wings, jumped into the air, circled over the woods, and there were thousands of bats behind him, leading a bat team to quickly move away, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a small black dot and disappeared into the sky.

"Ghost Gate ......"

Hong Yuan muttered, his eyes gradually sharpened, and after seeing the Blood Bat King go away, he continued to drive forward without hurry.

There are some things that the Blood Bat King has not yet found out, but he has already understood, knowing that the Flame Knights stationed in the Ghost Gate Pass have been secretly bought by the Chu family. Suddenly block the ghost gate, what monster waves and night demons are all pretense, to find their whereabouts and arrest themselves is the real goal!

"Chu Tianyang, Chu Yannan...... Sure enough, what kind of son there is, what kind of father there is! A generation of Chu family heads is really extraordinary!"

Hong Yuan secretly calculated while driving, and saw through the essence through all kinds of chaos, knowing that Chu Yannan, the head of the Chu family, was his real opponent. Before he reached the halfway point, he had already realized the difficulty of this mission, the night demon was fierce, and the Chu family, who could call the wind and rain inside and outside the Night Dragon City, was even more difficult to deal with! As a statue that came out of the sea of corpse mountains and blood and sat on the throne of the alliance giant, it was impossible for him not to foresee the Chu family's methods, he was obviously deliberate, and he had to assess his ability from all aspects. If you want to really gain a foothold in the alliance, no one can rely on it, you can only fight out of the sea of corpses and blood like the three alliance giants!

Hong Yuan's heart was bright, and the more dangerous and difficult the task, the more determined he became.

After climbing over a few mountains, Hong Yuan saw Zou Haiyan and Liang Laosan and others, these young people may have been tired of playing, and they sat lazily on the ground or rested against the big trees. After resting for half an hour, under the urging of Zou Haiyan, the group continued to set off, and hurried to the next destination, preparing to rush to the ghost gate for the night.
