Chapter 185: A Chance to Go Back

"There may be another way, but it's troublesome."

Looking at Tan Cheng, who was a little entangled, he looked at Ye Kui and said.

"Tan Cheng, can't you hold this in your heart?"

Gu Hongchuan on the side couldn't help but stop Tan Cheng in a loud voice.

"Our safety is secondary, and the most important thing is to tell Mr. Duan what happened here, if we don't do this, other operations at the battle post will be affected in the future, and this mission has failed again, don't you know what this means?"

"This... This..."

But soon Gu Hongchuan was speechless by Tan Cheng.

"Keep talking."

Ye Kui urged.

"On the other side of the deep valley, there is not only the battle post managed by Mr. Duan, in fact, there will be a battle post at every other distance on the edge of the deep valley in the southern part of the Tianque Continent.

Each outpost has a steward and a large number of outpost monks who will do their best to protect the area under their jurisdiction, and will occasionally carry out private tasks on their own, as we do.

Sometimes, of course, different battle posts will work together to solve some problems, including missions here."

"I've thought of what you're talking about, and I'm going to talk about the information related to us now, where are we going? What to do?"

Ye Kui was not surprised when he heard what Tan Cheng said, after all, the edge of the deep valley was the dividing line between the north and south of the Tianque Continent, and there would definitely be many monks and demon cultivators guarding the two sides respectively.

"That's right, under normal circumstances, only the steward of each battle post has the ability to open the temporary passage of the magic circle in the area under his jurisdiction, and in addition to the regional master jade pendant, the steward of the area also has a certain number of regional sub-control jade pendants.

Those sub-control jade pendants can also open a passage on the magic circle of the deep valley that can temporarily enter and exit the north and south of the Tianque Continent, but when using those regional sub-control jade pendants, you need to get the confirmation of the holder of the regional master jade pendant.

Otherwise, those regional sub-control jade pendants would not be able to play any role at all, and the regional jade pendants of each combat post would not affect each other, and could only open temporary passages on the magic circle in the corresponding area.

Therefore, we have to go to the opposite of the area under the jurisdiction of another battle outpost, that is, we have to walk to the left or right along the edge of the deep valley in the northern part of the Tianque Continent."

"Do you know when going to his battle post will open a temporary passage in a certain circle?"

After Tan Cheng finished speaking, Ye Kui quickly thought of the key issue.

"Tan Cheng and I will definitely not be able to answer the question you asked, after all, the temporary passage to open the magic circle in our own area is basically decided by the steward of the battle post in that area."

Gu Hongchuan, who had been quiet for a while, also interjected.

"It's true that just like Hongchuan said, if we want to open the temporary passage in this area, we need Mr. Duan's consent, because the main control jade pendant in this area is on Mr. Duan, so even if you kill the two of us, you can't ask for an answer."

Tan Cheng then added another example.

"So the three of us can just walk to one side, and the rest is all up to luck, right?"

Ye Kui felt that if this was the case, then there might be a lot of accidents.

"That's pretty much it, and we can't just stay in other areas for too long, and we're going to have to change places constantly."

"Also, don't forget that there are other demon cultivators in other areas, and those who are responsible for monitoring and managing demon cultivators are also distributed by region like the battle outpost, and their strength is also high and low."

After Tan Cheng and Gu Hongchuan finished saying this, they waited for this monk named Ye Kui to make a decision, although the two of them were the commanders of the battle outpost, but at this time, they did not have the same frame as when they came to the battle post again.

First, he knows that he is not Ye Kui's opponent, and second, if the situation continues to fight now, the situation may become very bad.

"What do you choose between the left and the right?"

leaf

Kui asked Tan Cheng and Gu Hongchuan's opinions.

"The relationship between the corresponding battle posts in the left area and our battle posts is a little tense, and a few of them even have some intractable contradictions, so I think the three of us should go along the right side, Hongchuan, what is your opinion?"

The first to answer Ye Kui was Tan Cheng.

"The battle posts on the right are a bit snobbish, and they like to take advantage, if they meet them, they may not fight, but they will inevitably be scavenged for a few layers of skin, which can be said to be much safer than the left."

Then Gu Hongchuan also expressed his opinion.

"Then it's decided, let's go to the right, let's go now."

After determining the direction of progress, Ye Kui took the lead and walked towards the right side of the edge of the deep valley, Tan Cheng and Gu Hongchuan also hurriedly followed Ye Kui after seeing this.

"Will there be other monks from the battle post who will open the temporary passage of the circle to this point?"

"It depends on the situation, after all, whether it's day or night, it's almost the same for most monks and demon cultivators, but some demon cultivators like darkness and hate light, so they will act exclusively at night, while monks are more casual."

Tan Cheng immediately explained to Ye Kui.

"Tan Cheng forgot to say something like our special operation this time, if it is like us, we will definitely not care about the time, as long as it is the order of the steward, we will all come here, and now I only hope that the monks of the other battle posts have also received some special orders."

After that, Gu Hongchuan seemed to be a little unconfident, so he could only hope that a similar situation would happen.

"Everything depends on God's will, that's not a good habit."

When Ye Kui said this, he glanced at the dark night sky, where there seemed to be a large number of black shadows moving, and the confused figure was like a giant eagle and a bat.

So he began to cast the wind intent to burrow into the woods and continue to hurry in the predetermined direction, because Ye Kui suddenly accelerated, Tan Cheng and Gu Hongchuan, who were following behind Ye Kui, didn't ask much, and directly cast other spells to follow.

"How fast and how fast you fly, but you can't be higher than this forest, just now there were suddenly some strange-looking flying beasts in the sky, which may be used by demon cultivators for patrolling."

Ye Kui saw Tan Cheng and Gu Hongchuan who were following him, and after leaving these words, he continued to speed up and gallop forward.

Tan Cheng and Gu Hongchuan, who were once again stretched a large distance, did not speed up with Ye Kui for the first time, because Tan Cheng shook his head at Gu Hongchuan, and also raised his hand to signal his companions to slow down.

"Hongchuan, here's the opportunity, take the opportunity to get rid of that guy and return to the area we just came to, before I thought I could join forces temporarily, but now I suddenly feel that following that Ye Kui is almost as dangerous as directly facing the demon cultivator."

Tan Cheng deliberately approached Gu Hongchuan a little before saying this.

"Tan Cheng, you better look at the sky through the leaves on the woods first, although it is a little higher and it is a little difficult to see, but you can still roughly see that there is something flying high in the clouds, that Ye Kui did not lie to us."

Originally, Gu Hongchuan wanted to keep up with Ye Kui, but was stopped by Tan Cheng, so Gu Hongchuan could only point to the top of the woods they were walking through.

"I also read what Ye Kui said just now, but I still think that we should take this opportunity to find other ways to return to the southern part of the Tianque Continent, in fact, I haven't said anything in front of Ye Kui."

"Tan Cheng, Ye Kui is not here, what else are you selling? I feel that if I feel unreliable, I will leave you and follow Ye Kui, I don't know why, but I suddenly feel very uneasy."

"Gu Hongchuan, you definitely don't know about this, and you won't believe it, in this second operation, Mr. Duan used some special connections to invite several waves of people to help, some of which you would never expect, they were the last group to come here.

Now we just need to go back to the circle in the area where we came from and wait, they will be here soon, and this matter was told to me by the Grand Commander himself, and there will be no fake."

This will Tan Cheng definitely tell Gu Hongchuan some top-secret information he has

"Tan Cheng, you said that those should be based on the fact that the mission is going very smoothly, but now that we have completely failed, will the last group of monks really come?"

"Gu Hongchuan, don't think too much, how could they not come? Unless Mr. Duan already knows that we have lost again this time, alas, although some of them are sorry for those monks, he still hopes that they can run for nothing and bring us back."

"You... This last sentence is true, I will continue to stay here on the walking street, these demon cultivators are really getting more and more difficult to deal with, and the demon cultivators who have not been killed are getting better and better, and more companions will die on our side because of this."

Gu Hongchuan said that he had already agreed with Tan Cheng's opinion, and he turned around with Tan Cheng and returned the same way.

"Huh? Why are those two guys so slow? No, they deliberately didn't keep up, what the hell are they doing?"

At this time, Ye Kui also discovered that Tan Cheng and Gu Hongchuan, the two commanders of the battle outpost, seemed to be missing.

"I don't want the two of them to follow because I don't want them to die in the hands of the demon cultivators who are about to chase after me, since I don't appreciate it, then I'm not used to it."

Then Ye Kui continued to move forward, without the idea of turning around and arresting Tan Cheng and Gu Hongchuan back, anyway, Ye Kui needed to know about the same.

As Ye Kui continued to move forward, Ye Kui also found something worth noting, at this time, there were many fewer weeds on the ground than the rest of the area where Ye Kui, Tan Cheng, and Gu Hongchuan came before, and some raised tree roots could be seen staggered and exposed on the ground.

Another hour passed.

"There is a situation ahead, it is the monk and the demon cultivator who have fought, but the scale is very small, and the two sides together are only more than ten."

Ye Kui immediately stopped after noticing something else, and quietly walked behind a tree to observe the scene in the distance.

"Terran monks? It's really rare lately, just to satisfy your cravings."

"Bad luck, I ran into it again, I didn't go this way if I knew it, it seems that it's better to take fewer shortcuts in the future."

A small group of demon cultivators and monks first tested each other when they met, and the demon cultivators didn't seem to stop there, while those monks regretted passing by this side a little, and their desire to fight was not as high as that of demon cultivators.

"I'd better take a look at the situation first, if those monks are useful, then it's not too late for me to make a move, otherwise I may waste some effort in vain later, and then be targeted by this group and other demon cultivators in this area."

Ye Kui knew that in addition to the demon cultivators that could be seen in front of him, there were also a lot of demon cultivators scattered everywhere in this area, and there might also be demon cultivators of the same level as the Qilin Demon Cultivator Xing Yu and the old demon cultivator with a silver collar and brocade clothes and a notched silver crown.

In addition, there were a large number of flying beasts patrolling the sky above the area that Ye Kui had rushed over, and Ye Kui didn't want to be exposed to the demon cultivators again for the time being.

When Ye Kui decided to wait and see for a while, those demon cultivators and monks had already fought, although the number of people on both sides was small, but the scene was still quite intense.

After the monks were defeated by the demon cultivators, they didn't even leave a complete corpse, and they saw that those monks had fallen into danger.

"Hold on for a while, just a while, and soon reinforcements will come, and then the temporary passage will be opened, and everyone can't give up!"

One of the monks who had fallen to the disadvantage tried to encourage the other monks, but to little avail, and the hope on the faces of the other monks had already dripped to the ground with his own blood or that of his companions.

When he was about to be killed by all the demon cultivators, the two sword qi that the demon cultivators and monks on the scene couldn't react to, directly reversed the situation.

"Demon cultivators who died all evil, reinforcements must be coming!"

"Perhaps."

"Don't get too excited yet, let's see what happens."

The three monks who were still alive looked in the direction where the sword qi came from, and then found that there seemed to be a person standing in the dark forest, so the three monks couldn't help but say their thoughts.

"It seems that the demon cultivators here are much weaker than the demon cultivators in the area where I stayed before."

Ye Kui, who had already collected the immortal sword into the sword qi, walked out of the shadows of the black woods, and then said casually.

"Thank you for your help, but I see that Daoyou is a little raw, I don't know where you come from? Why are you here?"

The monk who looked like the backbone of the three monks immediately asked Ye Kui.

"I am a monk in the battle outpost in other regions, because our team encountered a powerful demon cultivator, and finally died and fled, and I am the one who survived and ran here in a panic."

Ye Kui told the story he had just thought of to the three monks in front of him who had suffered a lot of injuries and were tired and upset.

"I see, then it's similar to what happened to us just now, would you like to walk with us? After all, it's safer when there are more people."

The main backbone of the three monks was also a little ashamed after saying this, after all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the strength of the monk who suddenly appeared in front of him and saved the three of them was far superior to the three of them.

So it's not so much a way to go together for safety, it's better to ask for protection.

"It's okay, but I'm completely separated from the original team, and I don't know when the temporary passage on the circle over there will open, so what's going on with you?"

At first, Ye Kui wanted to take it step by step, but it didn't feel necessary, because Ye Kui found that the three monks in front of him were not only a little frightened, but also their experience was somewhat similar to his own.

So it's better to be more direct and put your main purpose out, so that they can empathize, and at the same time, you can reduce the defense of the other side and narrow some distance.

"Fellow Daoists don't have to worry, we know when the magic circle in our area will open the temporary passage, if Daoyou can trust the three of us, then please find a place to rest with us one by one for a while."

"It's good to say, in Xia Ye Kui, I don't know what the three Taoist friends call them."

Ye Kui saw that there was something to talk about, and then began to ask himself a little and ask the other party's name.

"Ye Daoyou, in Xia Peng Jiasheng, the other two are Gan Yubin and Liu Kun."

The monk named Peng Jiasheng was the one who had been talking to Ye Kui just now, and the other two were Peng Jiasheng's companions.

When Ye Kui, Peng Jiasheng, Gan Yubin, and Liu Kun introduced each other and were polite, Peng Jiasheng and the three of them simply covered up the mutilation of their dead companions before leaving this place with Ye Kui.

Afterwards, Ye Kui and the others found a stone wall in the middle of the woods covered with a large area of moss and a lot of shrubs and trees.

Then Ye Kui took the lead in digging a cave in the stone wall that was large enough to accommodate five or six people, and then Ye Kui, Peng Jiasheng, Gan Yubin, and Liu Kun walked into the cave, and then Peng Jiasheng also cast a spell to cover the entrance of the cave with a large area of shrubs.

"Ye Daoyou, to tell you the truth, originally we wanted to go to the designated place and wait for our companions in the battle outpost to open the temporary passage of the magic circle.

But instead of rushing there, we also took the lives of several of our companions, if Ye Daoyou hadn't arrived in time and rescued us, then what would have happened to the three of us..."

Peng Jiasheng and the other two companions bandaged each other's wounds and took healing pills before continuing to speak to Ye Kui.

"Commander Peng is right, fortunately, our team of less than ten people left was fortunate enough to be rescued by Ye Daoyou, otherwise we wouldn't even have a chance to return to the battle outpost."

"Alas, why is our original team of nearly 1,000 people so unlucky, but they were chased and intercepted by a total of three groups of demon cultivators, and after more than ten fierce battles in a row, they finally lost extremely badly, and finally they could only flee in all directions, each saving their lives."

After Peng Jiasheng replied to Ye Kui, the other two monks, Gan Yubin and Liu Kun, were also very tired and sad to talk about their thoughts and the rout process of their originally complete team.

"Some things are always unexpected by us, and the only thing we can do afterwards is to hold on and wait for the opportunity to come, so how long should we go back to the place you said we would wait?"

In Ye Kui, he listened to the words of Peng Jiasheng and the others

After that, Ye Kui first appeased Peng Jiasheng, Gan Yubin, and Liu Kun for a while, and then tried to ask the other side what he was more concerned about.

"Ye Daoyou, soon, after constantly witnessing the death of our companions in front of us, we are more anxious than you to return to the battle post in the south of the Tianque Continent, and after about an hour, we will set off to wait somewhere on the edge of the deep valley."

"As Commander Peng said, and that place is very close to here, it only takes a few incense sticks to reach it by casting a spell."

"Commander Peng, Yu Bin, I suggest that you go in advance, in case you encounter other demon cultivators on the way, it may be delayed a lot."

After Peng Jiasheng and Gan Yubin finished speaking, the monk named Liu Kun was a little worried that the situation would change again, so he put forward his opinion.

"What Liu Daoyou said also makes sense, maybe we can go to the place you said some time in advance, and then find a hidden place to hide and wait slowly."

Although Ye Kui didn't know if the place Peng Jiasheng said was dangerous, Ye Kui also felt that it was better to take the unexpected situation into account, because for Ye Kui, the accidents that happened today could be regarded as one after another.

Some things also made Ye Kui a little unsure of how to deal with it for the time being, and in the end he could only stand by or leave the place where the situation was not good.

"Since Ye Daoyou and Liu Kun have said so, then we will rest for half an hour and set off for the designated place ahead."

The Peng commander named Peng Jiasheng then nodded in agreement with Ye Kui and Liu Kun's opinions.

"Commander Peng, can you tell us what you're here for? If it's inconvenient, forget it."

Ye Kui thought about it and tried to ask Peng Jiasheng, Gan Yubin, and Liu Kun about the purpose of the original monk team of the three monks who came here.

"Ye Daoyou still doesn't have to call me Commander Peng like Yu Bin and Liu Kun, just call me Peng Daoyou, in fact, there is nothing that can't be said.

This time, we followed the other monks at the battle outpost through the temporary passage of the magic circle to the north of the Tianque Continent, just to confirm why the demon cultivators have become more active than before recently, cough, cough, cough."

Before Peng Jiasheng finished speaking, he coughed violently, and then blood flowed out not only from his mouth, but also from both noses.

"Peng Daoyou, it seems that your condition is a bit serious, otherwise we should rest for a while and then go to the place you said, by the way, at this time, the healing pill that I carefully refined in my spare time, Peng Daoyou can take a few pills."

After Ye Kui saw it, he also subconsciously asked about the other party's physical condition, and at the same time handed a small porcelain bottle containing the pill to Peng Jiasheng opposite.

That bottle of elixir was personally refined by Ye Kui and he had tasted it several times, and the effect of the elixir was several times better than that of ordinary healing pills.

"Commander Peng, what Ye Daoyou said is right, why don't you lie down and rest for a while, I still have some healing pills left, and you can take them too."

"Commander Peng, if it wasn't for us before, you wouldn't have been injured so badly, it was we who caused you to be tired, although I don't have much pills left, but they happen to be healing pills."

In addition to Ye Kui, Gan Yubin and Liu Kun, who were sitting next to Peng Jiasheng, also handed their small porcelain bottles containing healing pills to Peng Jiasheng.

"No need, I'm forcibly wounded and fighting for too long, and I can't recover in a short time, so I can only wait until I return to our battle post safely and then lie down for a few months or half a year to slowly recover."

Peng Jiasheng said as he took out a handkerchief that had been half dyed red to wipe the blood on his mouth and nose, and then waved his hand to refuse the small porcelain bottle of pills handed over by Ye Kui, Gan Yubin, and Liu Kun.

At this time, the place where Ye Kui, Peng Jiasheng, Gan Yubin, and Liu Kun met had also gathered a large group of demon cultivators who looked no different from ordinary people.

Of course, most of the demon cultivators still directly revealed their original fierce and ugly appearances, and the corpses of those companions who were buried nearby by Peng Jiasheng and the three of them were also ruthlessly pulled out of the dirt by the demon cultivators.

Moreover, these demon cultivators are also preparing to find the location of Ye Kui, Peng Jiasheng, Gan Yubin, and Liu Kun by looking for the smell
