After trekking through the black fog for more than a month, the exploration team arrived at another blessed place, Bell Lake.

"Zhonghu Lake is the closest blessed place to Fengdu, and it only takes three days to walk from Zhonghu to Fengdu." Zhang Ming introduced.

Back in the familiar place, his mood seemed to improve, and when he first learned that the Red Moon Colossus was an immortal, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and he was worried about it all the time.

As soon as Yu Ling and the others entered Zhonghu, a group of soldiers came over, led by a young female general.

"Who are you?" The female general glanced at Yuling and his party, "There is a war going on here, and the inconsequential people leave quickly." ”

Zhang Ming walked out of the carriage, "Zhang Ping, it's me." ”

“…… Captain, you're back. The female general saw the person who was coming, and her face was happy.

"How many times have I said it, I have resigned as captain." Zhang Ming said helplessly.

"In my heart, you will always be the captain." The female general came up and grabbed Zhang Ming's arm, like a girl greeting her father who had returned from afar.

"What did you just say about the war?"

The female general's face was hesitant, this matter seemed inconvenient to mention, and after a moment, she made a decision in her heart, and looked at Yuling and the others, "They are?" ”

"They are my teammates and I can trust." Zhang Ming said.

The female general spoke: "We investigate the legion's joint efforts to capture the feudal capital. The head of the sect has been in retreat for many years, and the power has fallen, and the religious affairs have been controlled by the head Zhou Lixin. In recent years, the Holy Cult has been weakening day by day, and the light of the Colossus has become more and more dim, and if this fang is not removed, the Holy Sect will one day die at his hands. ”

Zhang Ming patted her hand and signaled her not to get excited, "Don't worry, I won't interfere in this matter, you know that my only wish in this life is to find out the truth about the world shrouded in black fog." ”

"And you're coming back this time?"

"I found some clues, and I need to go back to headquarters to check the information."

"What clues, is it true?" The female general asked excitedly.

"I'm not sure yet, I'll tell you when I find out."

"Well, I'll wait for good news from the captain." The female general said to the soldiers, "Let me go." ”

Waiting for the carriage to enter the town, Li Ge said: "There is a war going on here, will it be inopportune for us to come?" ”

Yuling said: "On the contrary, it is convenient for us to steal the Colossus Order when it is messed up." ”

She and Ye Zezhen looked at Zhang Ming together, "At the beginning of Ganyue, you lied to us that you were arresting apostas, but listening to your conversation with that female general, you no longer serve in the Colossus Sect, should you give us an explanation now?" ”

"When the situation was urgent, I intended to scare them in the name of the Colossus Sect, but who knew that they wouldn't eat this at all." Zhang Ming smiled as he spoke, and then the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he took out a worn-out knife from his coat pocket, "This is my sister's birthday gift to me." ”

He stroked the knife gently, and said slowly: "I am actually an orphan, when I was a baby, I was picked up from the black fog by the investigation team, because I am from the black fog, no one wants to adopt me, and the last kind girl adopted me. In order to raise me, she often went to the black fog to collect materials, she loved to be beautiful, and asked me to call her sister. I also worked hard, when I was 16 years old, I passed the assessment of the Colossus Sect and officially became a member of the city defense army, I wanted her to enjoy her life in the future, but that day she was pale and bedridden, and took her to see the doctor to know that she had entered the black fog all the year round and had been infected with filth. I begged the doctor to save her, but the doctor said that she was terminally ill and that there was no cure...... It turned out that she had been hiding it from me. ”

His rough hand suddenly clenched the knife, "I still remember her last smile, and how she held my hand tightly and died." "I hate the black fog, I hate the world, and since then I have made a vow in my heart, vowing to find out the truth about the black fog covering the world, even if I fight for my life, I will make the people behind the scenes pay." For many years, I still haven't been able to find any useful clues. It wasn't until two years ago that I learned of the existence of the Colossus Order and began investigating the Colossus Order, and then recently met you. ”

His words should be true, because if you ask a random person from the Colossus Sect, you can find out where he came from, and no one will tell a lie that can be broken with a poke.

"Alas......" someone was full of emotion.

His plight is sympathetic.

After a day of repairing at Bell Lake, after buying some food and water, everyone set out on the trip again.

Three days later, the exploration team arrived in Fengdu.

The red moon above his head was twice as large as the red moon in other blessed places, but the light emitted was as dim as the light in other blessed places.

The city was in disarray, the ground was full of corpses, and the rebels had invaded the city.

"Please come with me, I know a secret passage leading to the altar." Zhang Ming said.

Everyone dropped the carriage and followed Zhang Ming into the secret passage.

Ten minutes later, they came to the other end of the secret passage.

Zhang Ming observed for a while, confirmed that there were no guards, and said to Yuling and the others behind him: "Come out." ”

They had only one goal, to find the leader of the retreat.

Zhang Ming used to be a high-ranking member of the Colossus Cult, and he was very familiar with the altar. There was a battle outside, and there were not many guards guarding it, so they easily bypassed the guards and servants, and those who couldn't get around were directly stunned.

The closer they got to the Master's residence, the fewer guards and servants they found. Yuling suspected that the Colossus Sect Master was in retreat as an excuse, and perhaps the Sect Master himself was dead.

Zhang Ming pushed open the door of the sect leader's retreat, and an old man in a gray robe was meditating on the futon, his eyes closed, motionless, and oblivious to the sound behind him.

Zhang Ming came to the old man, half-knelt on the ground, put one hand on the old man's shoulder, and shook it slightly, "Sect Master? ”

He had great respect for the leader who founded the Colossus and led humanity through darkness to the present day.

The old man opened his eyes weakly and looked around at everyone, but finally, his gaze stopped on Yuling.

He barely drew a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Donor, it's been a long time." ”

"You know me?" A question mark popped up with the fish bell.

"Since the ancient ape temple parted, it has been more than 50 years, the donor is still the same, and the poor monk will be gone."

"Are you the host of Xuanji?" Yuling was taken aback, "Why are you here?" ”

"When the black fog first came, the amount was still very scarce, not enough to envelop the entire land, and in order to find a way to expel it, I entered the 100,000 mountains that were already shrouded in black fog at that time. Ahem, I'm ashamed to say that I have been studying in the 100,000 Mountains for several years, but with little success, and in the end I can only return with the results of the meager end. Xuanji coughed as he spoke.

Seeing that he was so weak, Yuling hurriedly asked, "Do you need a doctor?" ”

Xuanji shook his head, "No, my illness can't be cured." He looked around at the heavily armed crowd again, "Why have you come this time?" ”
