Chapter 52: The Eighth Batch of Guests
What Leo Yi didn't know was that on the third day that he led Afra into the circle, the troops stationed on the periphery had just welcomed their eighth batch of guests. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
They say they are guests because they were sent by the lord of the country.
However, this time is different from before, the people who came this time are all from the Xuantian Sect, and they are high-level disciples.
The purpose for which the lord sent them here was as clear as the purpose of the people who came before them: to find the entrance to the circle and take out the treasures hidden inside.
This is the eighth group of people sent by the lord of the country, and it stands to reason that the soldiers stationed here should have been numb a long time ago.
After all, those people who were sent over a few times ago have never come out since they entered the ice field.
When this first happened, the prefect of the camp was terrified to death, for fear that the lord of the kingdom would find out and condemn him.
But what I didn't expect was that after the news was reported, there was no, and the station was still there.
Half a year later, a second group was ordered.
After the second group went in, like the first group, no one came out.
After another six months, the third group came.
......
Batch after batch of people were sent here to die, and by the time the sixth group came, he was a little overwhelmed.
He told those people that if they didn't go in, they would stay in their barracks, and that although the conditions were more difficult, at least they would not die in vain, and as long as they didn't go back, no one would know.
However, it didn't work, each of these people had the confidence to be fascinated.
No one dared to go in and collect the body, because he knew very well that the place was really too evil.
I think that when I first came here, I also brought a few bold brothers in.
But after walking in this ice field for three days and three nights, I didn't even find a ghost, and I almost got lost.
On the fourth day, someone was inexplicably blind while walking, ran to that place in a panic, and then died inexplicably, and blood splattered on the spot.
Some people still want to save it, but they don't want the tragedy to happen again, and the blood is also splashed on the spot.
He immediately ordered to evacuate quickly, and ran back with the remaining brothers.
After stumbling through the ice field for three days and two nights, he finally ran to the camp and picked up a life.
When he returned, he immediately reported these things in the ice field to the higher-ups.
However, the order was to continue to camp on the outskirts and not to enter or evacuate without an order.
At the same time, the news is strictly blocked, and anyone who comes close to the ice field will be killed.
Then the first group came, with a letter from above, mysterious, and never came out after entering.
So far, this is the eighth batch.
What's inside this ice field?
Why does the lord of the country keep sending people here even though he knows that going in is sending him to death?
What treasure is hidden in this that deserves such a cruel decision from the lord of the country?
Could it be that place is really the entrance to the "Far North"?
Wasn't the previous lord of the country driven down and reduced to a prisoner because he was obsessed with the legend of the "Far North"?
Is history going to repeat itself again?
As the absolute overlord of the Shura Continent, still not satisfied?
Isn't it said that the "Far North" is a nightmare for the strong?
Perhaps, this time it will be different?
In the team that came this time, there were more than a dozen old men who looked very powerful.
If you guessed correctly, these old men should be the thirteen protectors of the legendary Xuantian Sect, right?
Even the people of the Xuantian Sect, who have been blocking the news, are here, and they are the thirteen protectors who everyone is afraid of, it seems that the lord of the country is really in a hurry this time.
It's just that I don't know why, the number of these thirteen Dharma protectors doesn't seem to be right.
There may be other arrangements.
In fact, these things should not be pondered by a person of his own identity.
I hope they can really get something this time, so that they and these brothers can go home.
If I'm not mistaken, this is my fifth year here, right?
Yingzi is almost as tall as my shoulders, right?
......
In the military tent, the dusty crowd was packing up.
To be exact, it was a few disciples of the Xuantian Sect who were helping the Thirteen Dharma Protectors pack up.
Oh no, it's the Twelve Protectors now.
"Ever since the circle was discovered here that year, the royal family has been looking for a way to break it.
In the past four years, the people who have been sent have died one after another, but still no one has been able to enter the circle.
The master sent us here this time, didn't the person who came last time find something?"
A diminutive old man took a sip of hot tea and asked the old man next to him with his eyes closed.
"There is no one left, so how can I find anything. The Great Dharma Protector didn't even raise his eyelids, and replied indifferently.
When the short old man heard this, he smiled wryly, took a sip of the tea in his hand, and said no more.
In his opinion, this great protector obviously knew something, but people refused to say it, and he didn't want to ask more.
Besides, although the head of the sect is a great teacher, he is still an outsider to the royal family after all.
Since the discovery of the magic circle here, the royal family has been blocking the news from the outside world, and if there is really any major discovery here, the royal family will definitely not let the master know.
Even if the head coach knew something, it would not be their turn to join in the fun.
Since the new lord ascended the throne, the head of the sect has been secretly searching for the "Far North" with the power of the royal family.
In fact, the royal family is also very aware of what the master is doing, but they let it go and do not stop it.
But when the magic circle here was discovered, the royal family did not hesitate to station troops across the country and immediately blocked the entire area.
If it weren't for the arrangements made by the head of the sect in this army, I don't know how many years the things here would have been concealed.
The royal family and the head of the sect are just using each other, which many people know.
It's just that over the years, our Thirteen Dharma Protectors have been somewhat famous on the Shura Continent, but the royal family still doesn't take us seriously.
Of course, this is because the royal family also has many masters in their hands, and in terms of strength, they are only stronger than the Xuantian faction.
In that case, why did the royal family let people from the Xuantian Sect come over this time, and also named us old men?
Could it be that because of Xuan Lingzi's incident, the royal family has a grudge, and now they have finally begun to take action?
If it was really the royal family who wanted to take the opportunity to weaken the strength of my Xuantian Sect, how could such a smart person in charge of the sect agree?
The news of Xuan Lingzi's resurrection from the dead, the people on the royal family probably already knew.
When Xuan Lingzi was abolished, the royal family didn't say anything, and now naturally they won't say anything.
But why do we have to come?
The short protector pondered for a long time, and suddenly thought of a possibility.
He quietly glanced at the Great Dharma Protector who was still closing his eyes and recuperating on the side, and his heart became more and more sure of his thoughts.
But this great protector was originally the highest cultivation among our people, in the battle a few days ago, the entire Xuantian Sect suffered a lot of losses, only he, the great protector, actually took the opportunity to break through the realm and improve his cultivation, and became the biggest winner outside of that kid.
If the purpose of this trip is really what he thinks, this group of people will definitely be more auspicious.
But the gap in strength is too big, even if he and the remaining ten are together, it is impossible to pose any threat to him.
What to do?
