Chapter 420: Guardian Elder
At night, a large army shuttles through the dense forest.
Hong Yuan was very careful, sending scouts and spies all the way to beware of the patrols and sentries of the Dragonblood Legion.
The valley treasury is gone, all the supplies have been looted or burned down, and the Celestial Dragon War Drum, which is said to carry the fortune of the empire, has also been taken away, this is not only a ruthless and real blow to the Dragon Blood Legion, but also an undisguised humiliation, and it will definitely not give up easily. If nothing else, there must have been heavy troops or ambushes at every necessary route to the Alliance!
Hong Yuan had insight into people's hearts and knew the danger of this operation. It was dangerous when he sneaked in, and it was even more dangerous when he retreated, which was also the reason why he ordered the division of troops and let the ghost five and others lead the battle pet army to retreat first.
As expected, along the way, the group encountered a large number of dragon-blooded warriors. Some patrol back and forth with torches, while others lurk motionless in the dense forest. Once, he almost collided head-on with a team of dragon-blooded warriors riding dragons. Fortunately, the vampire bats in charge of pathfinding were very conscientious, and every time they called the police in time at a critical moment, and the group was in danger, either suddenly stopping and hiding in the dense forest, or carefully bypassing under the cover of night.
Under the cover of night, the speed of the group became faster and faster, and they went straight to the perennial Black Dragon River, preparing to go down the river, which was the best way to return to the alliance. The distance from the Wild Bee Cave to the Alliance is not far in a straight line, but the mountains are undulating and separated by heavy mountains, and it is difficult to take the land route, so walking along the Black Dragon River is the best way.
In the silence of the night, the sound of rushing water can be worn far, far away.
Hong Yuan and his entourage followed the sound of the water to the bank of the Black Dragon River, and according to the spying of vampire bats, there was nothing unusual around. However, just as the group was about to walk out of the dense forest and down the river, Hong Yuan suddenly stopped with a sense of feeling. If you look closely, you can see a huge fishing net pulled above the river, and a bell is hung from the fishing net. As soon as someone bumps into it, the bells will ring in a hurry. Climbing up the canopy of the trees, the same fishing nets were pulled thousands of kilometers away, and a mechanism was laid almost every two or three thousand meters. In the dense forest on both sides of the fishing net, there were faint figures swaying, and Hong Yuan's eyes were sharp, and he saw that Ji Liuyue was also among them, and he was waiting by the Black Dragon River in person.
"Aware of the trick so quickly, yes, it's a character!"
Looking at Ji Liuyue's figure from afar, Hong Yuan was quite surprised. The woman had been searching in the mountain stream, and suddenly came to the bank of the Black Dragon River, and I don't know if it was a whim, or if she noticed something. They are also the military marquis of the Dragon Blood Legion, and this woman is much more powerful than the Blue Dragon Hou Chu Tuhan and the Poisonous Dragon Hou Ouyang Bi.
The situation suddenly changed, and it was impossible to continue down the river. Not surprisingly, the Dragonblood Legion has laid ambushes at various gates leading to the Alliance!
Hong Yuan frowned, knowing that the situation was even more serious than expected. It seems that in order to recapture the Celestial Dragon War Drums, the Dragonblood Legion poured out.
The Blood Bat King walked over, also frowning and worried, "My lord, the roads are all blocked, what should I do?"
"Hong Bat, what do you say?" Hong Yuan asked rhetorically.
"There are two ways, either to break through and use the superior local forces to kill all the way back, and the other way is to make a detour and make a detour in the Tenglong Mountains for two or three thousand miles. Although the Hualong Empire has a strong army, it is impossible to block the entire Tenglong Mountain Range!" The Blood Bat King replied quickly, looking at Hong Yuan as he spoke. For the sake of safety, he advocated the second method, but then it would take a lot of time, maybe half a month before he could return to the alliance.
"Gu Lengmei, what do you think?" Hong Yuan looked at Gu Lengmei, unlike the Blood Bat King, Gu Lengmei can be said to be a native of the Tenglong Mountain Range, and he knows the terrain here best, maybe there is something to do.
"Both methods will work, if the adults are ready to kill all the way back, their subordinates can lead the Wild Bee Legion to open the way!" Maybe it's because he has just transformed into a human form, he is ignorant and fearless, and he doesn't know the power of the Dragonblood Legion.
Hong Yuan smiled bitterly and was silent.
Both of the Blood Bat King's methods are good, but if you think about it, they are still not suitable. All the way back, even if you finally return to the alliance, you must have suffered heavy casualties; after a detour of two or three thousand miles, the safety is relatively safe, but the time consumed on the road is too long, and half a month is enough time for a lot of things to happen.
"My lord, there's another way!"
The Blood Bat King hesitated for a moment and said, "I disguised myself as you, rode a poisonous dragon to break through, and led away the masters of the Dragon Blood Legion and many secret sentinels. Then, my lord, you will lead a large army to take the opportunity to secretly cross the defense line of the Dragonblood Legion!"
"That's a good idea!"
Hong Yuan's eyes lit up, and he was inspired by the Blood Bat King to think of a better way, "However, you don't have to take the risk yourself, just send a team of vampire bats, the old way, put on a cloak and disguise yourself as me." Hong Bat, once Ji Liuyue and the others are led away, you and Gu Lengmei will break through separately. Remember, be sure to walk separately, huddled together can easily reveal your whereabouts!"
"My lord, what about you?" said the Blood Bat King and Lone Leng Mei in unison.
"It's more convenient for me to be alone, there is a way, let's go! I must rush back to the alliance before dawn, go!" Hong Yuan urged.
"Yes!"
The Blood Bat King bowed down to receive the order, and acted separately from the Wild Bee Queen.
After a while, the poisonous dragon suddenly appeared from more than ten miles away, rushed out of the dense forest, and flew in the direction of the alliance surrounded by a large group of vampire bats and ghost-faced butterflies.
A low horn suddenly sounded in the darkness, and many masters of the Hualong Empire rode the dragon into the air quickly, rushing over from all directions. Ji Liuyue, who lurked on the banks of the Black Dragon River, was no exception, and personally rode the purple dragon to catch up, hurrying for fear of being a step too late.
"Be careful, sir!"
The Blood Bat King came to Hong Yuan, bowed and saluted again, and then led the mixed team to break through overnight.
Gu Lengmei was much more simply, and with a wave of his hand from afar, he led her wild bee army away. Compared to the mixed team led by the Blood Bat King, Lone Lengmei and his party are safer, and no one will pay attention to the inconspicuous wild bees.
In the darkness, seeing the Blood Bat King and Lone Lengmei go away, Hong Yuan also acted quickly, wearing armor and disguised as a heavily armed dragon-blood warrior, plunged into the dark dense forest in front of him, and strode away alone. Of course, it is much more dangerous to act alone, and if you accidentally expose your whereabouts, you may be surrounded by dragon-blooded warriors, but it is also beneficial to go it alone, so that you can hide your identity and whereabouts more secretly.
With a powerful divine mind, Hong Yuan bypassed the patrols and secret sentinels along the way and ran wildly in the dense forest, and he really couldn't get around or collide head-on, and he could also use the disguise on his body to get by.
After rushing out of seventy or eighty miles in one go, Hong Yuan suddenly stopped, faintly heard the roar and sorrow of the poisonous dragon coming from behind, and then, Ji Liuyue's howl came from afar, with great anger in his voice. Obviously, Ji Liuyue finally discovered Hong Yuan's plan again, and she was extremely angry. In order to cover his party to break through, the poisonous dragon was obviously surrounded by the masters of the Hualong Empire and was brutally murdered. Not long after joining the War Pet Army, this poisonous dragon died, and it was also the first powerful War Pet to be killed.
"What a purple dragon candidate, kill me a powerful war pet, and you will definitely be repaid in the future!"
Hong Yuan snorted coldly and continued to run wildly in the dense forest.
Although a powerful poisonous dragon died, fortunately, the loss was not too great. As long as you wait patiently, you can let Ji Liuyue double her return in the future, and even charge more poisonous dragons or purple dragons. The most important thing now is to return to the alliance before dawn, otherwise, it will be troublesome when more alliance masters arrive.
Hong Yuan buried his head in the road, worried that the night would be long and dreamy. This night attack on the Dragon Blood Legion camp was even smoother and more successful than expected, but there was always a gloom lingering in his heart.
From beginning to end, it was all military marquis like Ji Liuyue who was chasing and killing, and Wan Yankang, the commander of the Dragon Blood Legion, had not yet appeared, let alone Mu Qianbu, the guardian elder of the Dragon Blood Sanctuary who was rumored to personally accompany the army to suppress the formation. Compared with the huge number of dragon blood warriors, Hong Yuan was even more afraid of top masters like Mu Qianbu. Chased and killed by Ji Liuyue and other military marquis, he can also use the golden cicada to get out of his shell calmly, and accidentally meet a top master like Mu Qianbu, I am afraid that all methods will be useless.
Under Ji Liuyue's order, the dragon-blooded warriors boiled over, looking for traces of Hong Yuan everywhere. But at this time, Hong Yuan had already arrived more than a hundred miles away, and he was getting closer and closer to the alliance. Two or three hours later, I came to the Heilong River again, and when I looked up, I could already faintly see the stone bridge across the Heilong River, and even the soldiers of the Hongjia Army patrolling the bridge deck with torches.
"It's finally back!"
Hong Yuan became excited, and flew towards the Black Dragon River, as long as he stepped on the temporary chain bridge, it was done, even if Ji Liuyue led the mighty dragon blood warriors to catch up, he couldn't stop it.
Hong Yuan ran wildly, getting closer to the Black Dragon River, and after turning a mountain col, he rushed out of the dense forest and flew onto the beach. Then, suddenly, the footsteps stopped.
In just a blink of an eye, there was suddenly an old man on the chain bridge, as if tearing the void suddenly appeared on the chain bridge. The old man looked ordinary, dressed very ordinarily, and even had no power fluctuations in his body, but Hong Yuan's eyebrows beat violently, sensing an unprecedented danger. Looking closely, he sensed an obscure, dangerous, and somewhat familiar fluctuation of power in the old man's body, which was a fluctuation unique to dragon power.
"You...... , is it Mu Qianbu, the guardian elder of the Dragon Blood Sanctuary?"
Hong Yuan's heart was awe-inspiring, and he quickly remembered someone. The feeling that the old man in front of him gave him was far more dangerous than the Dragon Blood Templar Warrior's thick earth, and his cultivation was unfathomable. Coupled with the unique dragon power fluctuations in his body, apart from Mu Qianbu, the guardian elder of the Dragon Blood Sanctuary Hall, Hong Yuan really couldn't find a second person.
"Yes, I'm Mu Qianbu. ”
Mu Qianbu's tone was flat and taciturn, and he looked Hong Yuan up and down coldly.
Hong Yuan smiled bitterly secretly, his heart became heavier and heavier, and the more afraid he was, the more he would come. It's almost time to return to the alliance at Stonebridge, but I didn't expect to be intercepted here!
