Chapter 725: Suspicious
Occasionally, through the dense gaps in the leaves, you can see that from time to time, there are either wolves or bloody monsters, frightened from the gray haze in front of them.
Above the vast forest sea, more than 20 figures crossed their legs in the void, raising their eyes to look at the endless haze swamp in front of them, Zhang Hao's face was gloomy and uncertain.
Because of the dense trees in the poisonous fog swamp, the haze that has gathered over countless years cannot be dissipated at all, and over time it compresses into a very dense poisonous fog. This kind of haze reminded Zhang Hao of the situation when he entered the Blood Pan Mountain in the Blood Sea Forest, but this fog contained not a weak toxicity, but any master below the Grandmaster Realm could not hold on to it for even half an hour when he entered it, plus the terrain was already complicated and extremely repetitive, so once he fell into it, it was difficult to survive.
Ten days have passed since I rushed to the Desperate Swamp. During this period, the problem of manpower shortage that Xiong Wuji was worried about at the beginning inevitably appeared, and things were much more difficult to do than he imagined. After all, the two detection points set up by the Great Chongjiao in the Desperate Swamp can really enter the poisonous mist swamp, and there are only about thirty people who can enter the poisonous fog swamp at full capacity, and then cooperate with the more than twenty young soul masters, for fear of accidents, they can only be divided into three groups, but the consumption of strength and soul power in the detection process is also extremely huge, and it is inevitable to encounter some fierce demonic beasts on the way, and every time they enter six or seven hours, they have to withdraw and adjust. Even so, after so many days, many people have been lost, and even a young soul master powerhouse in the Saint Master Dacheng Realm is also included.
"Brother Hao, it's not a way to go on like this!"
Floating to Zhang Hao's side, Shui Qingqing said in a condensed voice: "The poisonous mist forest is in the shape of a double full moon ring. It stands to reason that if the evil kun chooses to do it. It is inevitable to choose the most difficult to get into the heartland. And the three of us have been in it for so many days in a row, and we haven't even bumped into a swamp ironclad crocodile and other demonic beasts that have taken refuge in the evil master family. This means that we have not been close to the inner perimeter!"
Nodding slightly, Zhang Hao opened his mouth and asked, "When will our team be repaired?"
"Wait for the male seniors, come out of it, everyone is in a very bad state, let them adjust their state first!" Turning her head and glancing at the figures sitting cross-legged behind her, Meng Yurou sighed lightly and said.
"Whoosh"
The next moment. A snow-white figure rushed out of the dense forest, and when she saw Zhang Hao and the three of them, Bing Yao suddenly stopped her figure, and after slowly approaching, she lowered her voice and said: "Brother Hao, the senior male has already returned, and the people from their team will come over in a while, and he asked me to inform you of the past, there is something to discuss." ”
"Okay, let's go together!" Zhang Hao nodded and took a leap. Then he and the three girls ran into the dense forest leaves under their feet.
The figure shuttled between the huge trees, walked a distance of fifty or sixty zhang, and almost came to the edge of the poisonous mist forest, the pace still did not stop, glimpsing the doubts on Zhang Hao's face, Bing Yao said in a deep voice: "Looking at Jin Fengqing's appearance, it seems that he wants to deliberately avoid some people in the team, who is it, it's hard to say now!"
"Got it!"
In response, following behind Bing Yao, he walked out of the dense forest in front of him, completely entered the periphery of the poisonous fog forest, and faced a smell of stale leaves, and through the faint haze, he saw Xiongwuji and others whispering next to a small-scale low-lying wetland not far ahead, Zhang Hao's footsteps flashed, and he swept over.
"Xiongsenpai, what's going on?"
"Come, sit down first!"
Seeing Zhang Hao and the others coming, Xiong Wuji pointed to the huge old tree roots that were intertwined next to him, and said: "In the past ten days, our two teams have been responsible for in-depth exploration, and it stands to reason that every time we enter, we are at least nearly four hundred miles deep, and this distance is almost through the entire poisonous fog swamp, but the result is that we have never even encountered a demonic beast that has taken refuge in the evil master family. The reason was nothing else, but after about 170 miles in depth, that is, after the terrain began to exceed the area of the woods, it took on a circular shape, and a dense circle of ecstasy was set up. Since the Great Array itself may be hidden inside the foul-smelling swamp, and the poisonous fog inside is thick, we have never discovered it!"
"Ecstasy Array?" Hearing this, Zhang Hao's face suddenly became gloomy. These days, he didn't suspect that there was something strange in it, but the poisonous fog swamp itself was covered by a thick haze, even with his divine soul sense, he had never found any clues before, so it can be seen that the evil master family must have made some careful arrangements in advance.
"How did you find it?" Zhang Hao has passed by no less than ten times in the past few days to mention the regional geomorphological features mentioned by Xiong Wuji, and now that he has been discovered, he knows that there must be something strange in it.
Hearing this, Xiong Wuji glanced at Jin Fengqing next to him, and seeing this, the latter continued: "It's Shui Xihuang and Shui Lu'er!"
After answering, Jin Fengqing's words changed and said, "Brother Zhang Hao, do you remember? When we first met Xiaoqiang, Yang Yigen's predecessor once said that the body of the Moon Clan was a seven-headed colorful winged python, and Shui Rong, the hidden ancestor of the Tianshui royal family, had contracted such a magical beast!"
"Remember, you mentioned it before! Do you suspect Emperor Shui Xi and Shui Lu'er?"
"Before there is conclusive evidence, I can't make a conclusion for the time being, but there are a few doubts I must mention! First of all, the three ancestors of the royal family have never appeared in Zhengyuan Dalu for more than three hundred years. Annihilated the Cheng family earlier, these three powerhouses representing the top strength of the royal family never showed up from beginning to end, and the follow-up Northern Wilderness was about to erupt, although Emperor Shui Xi gathered the mentors of the royal family and the three major academies for the first time, but the answer he finally gave was that the three ancestors of the royal family had been studying spiritual cultivation for so many years, and they accidentally encountered accidents in succession, and all of them died of exhaustion of spiritual power!"
"Yes, I was puzzled for a long time when I heard the news. You must know that the three of Shui Rong are all the same age as Brother Hongyu, and their knowledge is by no means comparable to those young and vigorous soul masters. Such old-timers have entered the later stages of their lives, and they should know that it is difficult for them to improve their strength, and even if they are in retreat, they must have occasional insights by chance. Xiong Wuji echoed on the side.
When the words fell, Jianxiong turned his gaze to himself invisibly, signaling to continue, Jin Fengqing nodded slightly, and said: "Second, to tell the truth, whether it is from appearance, cultivation talent or family background, even if Brother Ma enters the Strength Illusionist Academy, he is definitely an ordinary illusionist. And Shui Luer, although she always has a faint smile on her face at ordinary times, looks very easy-going and approachable, but in fact she belongs to the kind of girl who has an extremely indifferent personality and doesn't take anyone or anything in her eyes. With such a noble royal princess, coupled with such a cold and arrogant heart, it is unbelievable that they walk together. However, what makes me feel even more incredible is that Emperor Shui Xi not only did not object to the two of them, but also abandoned the affairs of the Northern Wilderness and followed his son-in-law's intentions all the way to the Great Chongjiao!
"Finally, that's what happened today. I had been suspicious before, so when I first arranged the team, I deliberately placed myself in a group with them so that I could observe. After ten days of getting along, I found that Shui Luer is indeed a girl who does not show a drop of water. In the earlier search, they had been following the team and had never separated, but when they returned today with nothing, they found that their father and daughter had disappeared, and then searched around, only to find that it was because Brother Ma accidentally fell into the swamp, and they were staggered from the team because of the rescue. ”
After saying that, Jin Fengqing sighed lightly: "The problem is precisely here! As we all know, the largest area of a Ecstasy Array is only one meter in radius, but with the help of the environmental terrain, it can radiate a distance of hundreds of zhang in radius. And the location of the swamp where Big Brother Ma fell happened to be the edge of a maze array, and after a little probing, it was discovered by the male seniors. ”
"I think it's a coincidence!"
Seeing Jin Fengqing's voice falling, the fat man, who had been calm, said: "Second brother, I understand, although he has been away for many years, but during the same period of time, I don't think he has changed much." You must know that it was precisely because of his stubborn temperament that he got along with those horse thieves for so long that he refused to go along with them. ”
"Besides, the second brother is very righteous, he owes Xiao Hao a life, and he will never do anything to frame us!"
"Yes, the second uncle is still exactly the same as before, besides, he can't be pretentious, and he is the kind of person who can't hide things in his heart. If you really have something to hide, you can see at a glance that it is impossible for so many heavens to be so natural. Xiao Qiang nodded heavily, and his suspicion of Ma Lao Er from the beginning made him a little indignant.
"Senior Xiong, what do you think?" Hearing this, Zhang Hao's gaze turned to Xiong Wuji, who had been silent, and asked.
"There is no common reason to follow in love, and Shui Luer has a crush on the second child, it stands to reason that nothing is impossible. Although I didn't have too much contact with the second child before, everyone gets along day and night these days, and it can be seen that Xiaoqiang and Xiaopang's words are not unreasonable. ”
Xiong Wuji pondered his words and said, "In this extraordinary period, although Feng Qing's inference has no conclusive evidence, we can't deny it either. And today, I found out that the matter of the Ecstasy Array was too coincidental, like the deliberate guidance of Emperor Shui Xi and Shui Lu'er. Next, I think we should be wary of them. It's just that before the matter is clear, we must not make everyone troubled because of speculation, after all, the manpower is already stretched thin now, and the people who are in trouble will be panicked again, which will only make the shape more unfavorable to us!"
"Then let's do this for the time being, wait for the second grandfather to come back, tell him the old man, and during this time, try not to let Shui Xihuang and Shui Lu'er leave the line of sight!" (To be continued......)
