On the official road from the Western Regions to the Alliance, smoke and dust billowed out.

Hong Yuan led the Battle Pet Legion on the way home, and after leaving the Night Demon Stone Forest, his speed became faster and faster, and he went straight to Night Dragon City day and night.

Along the way, from time to time, they met adventurers who were also on the return journey, and when they saw the huge legion behind Hong Yuan from a distance, people hurriedly hid to the side to make way. The densely packed army of demon beasts made people's scalps tingle, and the three thousand night demons looming in the shadow of the torrent flying wings made people even more nervous, and many people were still terrified until Hong Yuan and his party disappeared into the distance.

At this time, people finally understood why the two alliance giants Ge Hong and Hua Yueye suddenly named Hong Yuan as the Night Dragon War General; it was not that Hong Yuan was particularly likable and won the favor of the two alliance giants, but that Hong Yuan had real ability and won such an honor with his own ability! No matter whether he made a big fuss in Night Dragon City or the battle of Slender Dog Ridge some time ago, Hong Yuan's victory did not rely on the so-called luck, but on his super combat effectiveness!

People's hearts were shocked, and all kinds of news exploded, spreading to all parts of the alliance, and even spread throughout the Gods and Ghosts Continent.

These messages are true and false, and more of them are rumors of all kinds, especially the latter, which snowballed more and more, drowning out the facts in turn. Some rumors say that Hong Yuan is a disciple of a super secret sect who came out to practice; some say that Hong Yuan is the reincarnation of a big devil and practices an extremely terrifying evil technique; some rumors are even more outrageous, saying that Hong Yuan is the illegitimate son of a certain big man, and he has just debuted and has been taken care of by the two alliance giants Ge Hong and Hua Yueye.

When people were keen to discuss and spread all kinds of rumors, Hong Yuan hurried all the way.

In the past, in order to avoid being too eye-catching or too sensational, Hong Yuan usually went on his own road, letting the Blood Bat King lead the Battle Pet Legion to follow. This time, he led the army of war pets to rush together. The battle of the Night Demon Stone Forest has completely exposed his unique supernatural ability to command a large number of demon beasts, and it is useless to cover up the fire if the paper can't contain the fire, Hong Yuan simply no longer does any disguise, and he has no scruples. If you really want to attract someone's covetousness or plot, the soldiers will come to block it.

Just one day later, Hong Yuan rushed to the Ghost Gate.

After the death of the Grand Commander Zhou Tiejun, the Alliance quickly sent a new Commander to maintain the security and order of the Ghost Gate. Compared with Zhou Tiejun, the new commander was very polite to Hong Yuan, and it could even be said that he was respectful, with a touch of fear in his expression, and warmly arranged a feast to wash the dust for Hong Yuan, but Hong Yuan refused.

After resting for a while at the Ghost Gate Pass, the army continued to set off in the direction of Night Dragon City. The huge army of demon beasts, as well as the three thousand night demons who walked out of the night demon stone forest, left not only shock, but also deep fear for the soldiers and civilians of the Ghost Gate Pass.

It was only at this time that many people suddenly realized what was going on with the riots that took place some time before the Ghost Gate closed. Chu Yannan and Zhou Tiejun were really right at that time, Hong Yuan was indeed inside the Ghost Gate, so they blocked the city gate and launched a crazy search. But in the end, Hong Yuan still successfully left the city and returned from completing the mission, but Zhou Tiejun and Chu Yannan died.

There is still a two-to-three-day journey from the Ghost Gate Pass to the Night Dragon City, and it is also the most difficult section of the road to walk, crossing the steep Ghost Ridge Mountain Range. Within the Alliance, it is a road known for its dangers, and many adventurer merchants die on this path every year. In the depths of the Ghost Ridge Mountains, it is rumored that there are many fierce beasts entrenched, and often when it gets dark, pedestrians disappear on this road. There has been an ancient saying in the nearby places, don't walk at night when you enter the Ghost Ridge Mountains, otherwise you will become a lonely ghost while walking. This road has become an evil road, and the businessmen talk about it.

Of course, Hong Yuan did not believe in evil, and hurried through the starry night without any scruples. Along the way, he didn't encounter any danger, even if there were really any demon beasts in the way, he sensed the aura of the war pet army and avoided it far away. However, in the second half of the night, something strange happened. The demon beasts who were hurrying suddenly slowed down, and even stopped and did not dare to go any further. Not to mention the many little scorpions and pythons, even the three thousand night demon warriors suddenly became nervous.

"My lord, there is danger ahead!"

Hong Python rushed up and stood in front of Hong Yuan for the first time, his face was a little tense, "If you guess correctly, it is likely to be a super demon beast or demon who came out of the depths of the Ghost Ridge Mountain Range!"

After this period of recuperation, Hong Python's vitality is obviously much better, and his soul is strong. His unique talent and supernatural powers also gave him an extraordinarily keen sense, and he was the first to detect danger among many powerful war pets.

"That's right, it's a super powerful demon!"

The night set and the sky also came up, the sky was full of dark clouds, and the night was thick, such a night was the most suitable for the night demon clan to act, and took the initiative to ask for battle, "My lord, let me lead a team of night demon warriors to destroy it!"

Finally walked out of the forbidden Night Demon Mountain to the outside world, Nightfall was obviously a little excited, his eyes were bloodthirsty and red, and he was about to wait for Hong Yuan's order.

"No, the night is falling, your body has not fully recovered, so hurry up and heal first. ”

Hong Yuan pondered for a while, denying the invitation to fight in the nightfall. After drinking the blood of the night demon essence, the combat power of Nightfall has been significantly improved, but after all, the days of a large amount of blood loss are too long, and his body is still a little weak, Hong Yuan doesn't want him to take risks rashly, "Ghost Five, bring a team of knights with me!"

Hong Yuan whipped it down, and suddenly rushed out on horseback, and personally stepped forward to explore the way.

Behind him, Ghost Five led more than a dozen ghost-faced knights to ride horses and follow, and everyone unsheathed their swords. A black shadow suddenly rushed out of the army of war pets, and the Blood Bat King turned into a small bat and swept across the night sky with a roar, gathered his wings and landed on Hong Yuan's shoulder. Compared to war pets such as the Scorpion King, the Blood Bat King can come and go in the air like the wind, and can also transform into a small inconspicuous little bat, making it an excellent assistant. Glancing at the Blood Bat King who landed on his shoulder, Hong Yuan did not refuse his uninvited.

The mighty army of war pets suddenly stopped, and under the command of Hong Python, they quickly contracted their formations and laid out a tight circular defensive formation just in case. The Night Demon Grand Commander Nightfall was ready to move, but he didn't dare to act without Hong Yuan's order, so he had to stand with Zhu Wuji, the three-tailed fox and the big fat cat and other main war pets, staring at the back of Hong Yuan and his party.

Hong Yuan acted decisively, personally stepped forward to see what was going on, and acted neatly, but he was very careful in his actions, and the more he walked, the slower he went.

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing unusual on both sides of the official road, but slowly, the aura of danger became stronger and stronger. This breath is not at all under the two super demon beasts of Hong Python and Zhu Wuji, and it is not inferior even compared to the nightfall sky, and it also gives people a gloomy and cold feeling, as if they are secretly targeted by a poisonous snake, which makes people uncomfortable.

The horses under the crotches of the group neighed, and from time to time they stood up in panic and turned to leave, and the ghost-faced knights on horseback were also extremely nervous, and a layer of sweat oozed from their foreheads. At the bend in front of him, there was obviously an extremely terrifying aura, cold and majestic, which made the face of the ghost Wudu, who had experienced countless winds and waves, tense and difficult to control the tension in his heart.

The trees on both sides of the road were dense, and it was not clear what kind of beast was lurking, but after careful observation, Hong Yuan found that there were many vines looming behind the trunk of a large tree, slowly wriggling like the tentacles of an octopus, hiding very deeply, but it gave people the feeling of extreme danger, as if some monster was rushing out of the dense forest at any time. In the distance, the roar of unknown demon beasts came from the depths of the Ghost Ridge Mountain Range, and the sound echoed in the canyons of all sizes, and I don't know how many fierce beasts there were for a long time.

"A dryad, or rather, a legendary vampire vine?"

Hong Yuan's pupils constricted, and he took off the blood-sucking scythe on his back with his backhand, and concentrated on preventing the surprise attack of the demon beasts in the woods, and the two sides were at a stalemate about a hundred meters apart.
