Chapter 1157: Searching for the Mountains
The patriarch touched his chin and thought, "Maybe you can ask the mountain demons for help, just like last time." Isn't it normal for a target to walk in the wild and be attacked by a monster? β
Where do you care about these things in the human world, and you are willing to work if you give enough benefits.

He Lingchuan and Dong Rui trekked in the mountains for a long time, and finally saw Baitouling.
The mountains are green, and only the top of these peaks is white, and it can be found from afar.
It wasn't snow, it was just the lime white of the mountains.
"We're here, how do you get on the line with those fox demons?" The task given by Lingshan is to find the three-tailed fox demon. Dong Rui asked him, "Don't say that you want to fight first, you won't know each other if you don't fight." β
This is someone's territory.
"Let's go halfway up the mountain first." He Lingchuan pointed to the mountain, "Fang Canran gave the method of contact. β
The weather in this mountain is strange, and last night's torrential rain fell near the mountain, and there is no difference here. The ground was dry, and the snail toad had to stop and rest after walking for miles. So the two of them planned to walk up the mountain.
However, as soon as I reached the foot of the mountain, there was someone blocking the road in front of me.
There stood a group of men, sixty or seventy, all of them soldiers in armor. The standard armor on their bodies was quite sophisticated, and He Lingchuan was sure that he had never seen it before.
Before He Lingchuan could speak, two soldiers stepped forward: "What is the come?" β
When you meet passers-by in the barren mountains and mountains, of course, you have to ask.
"We are merchants from Julu Harbor, going to do business in the country."
"Our army has eliminated demons, and there is no way forward." The soldiers admonished them, "Wherever you go, take a detour." β
"Who are your troops?"
"We're from the country."
Dong Rui was surprised: "What happened on this mountain?" β
Did they come by such a coincidence?
"The big demon has been eating people one after another recently, and we have surrounded the mountain." The soldier pointed to the east, "If you don't want to die, leave quickly!" β
He Lingchuan thanked the two and walked out in the direction he pointed out, until the soldiers couldn't see them, and then slipped into the jungle on the side.
"I know that this task is not simple." Dong Rui muttered, "The mission target is blocked on the mountain, we have to find a way to pick it up?" β
"It seems so. I see that there are still a lot of soldiers in the forest, and the country is probably surrounded by mountains. He Lingchuan didn't hesitate, "Summon the snail toad." β
They're here to pick them up, so it's best not to get into a head-on confrontation with the Yaguo army.
But the first step of the task was frustrated, because the snail toad dived half a mile up the mountain, and then he couldn't move forward-
There is an enchantment, and it is forbidden to go ahead!
"Huh, the army of the Yao Kingdom actually laid a retreat spell to ban the enchantment in Baitouling?" Dong Rui was stunned, "It's been a long time since I've seen such a wealthy master." β
Forbidden Technique is a common formation, it is not difficult to arrange, but it is very energy-intensive, and the larger the area covered, the proportion of Xuanjing consumed will increase.
Even in the midst of a tense siege battle, there is no way to keep the Forbidden Spell Circle open. Ordinary countries and cities cannot afford this big money-burner.
"You've enjoyed it more than once, haven't you?"
"That's in Bega." Dong Rui shook his head, "The Demon Emperor sent General Jinjiao to arrest us. β
Bega found their whereabouts and arranged the Escape Forbidden Formation in advance, that is, to seal the entire mountain, but they saw through it and fled in advance.
This is the Glittering Plains! The country was able to use the forbidden enchantment on the entire mountain, just to capture a big demon.
Looking at the leopard in the tube, He Lingchuan felt that he had probably underestimated the strength of the country in the past.
After the coup d'Γ©tat, he also felt that there would not be too many powerful countries on the Shining Gold Plain.
Dong Rui habitually asked him: "What should I do now?" β
"Ask someone and go inside."
The two resurfaced to the ground, looking for an opportunity on the periphery of the barrier. They all put on masks casually, He Lingchuan was a dragon head mask, and Dong Rui was a wolf head mask, which was prepared before leaving the Yangshan Islands - who knows if the army has aerial eyeliners, they don't want to expose themselves.
However, the army of the country was cautious, and they all walked back and forth in teams of five to patrol.
He Lingchuan waited patiently for a while, and finally a soldier went out alone to release water.
As soon as this unlucky guy was about to go back, he fell into Dong Rui's clutches.
He is not a warrior who regards death as his home, and after being repaired by the ghost ape a few times, he will make a move with two black eyes.
First of all, his answer confirms the most important intelligence:
The goal pursued by the army of the Yao Kingdom is the same as that of He Lingchuan, that is, a nest of fox demons.
The hunt had been going on for three days, and the fox demon had been switching positions, with the army in hot pursuit. There are too many tunnels in Baitouling, and it may be the result of the fox demon's usual careful construction. Three days have passed, and the fox demon is still fleeing all over the mountain.
Paekdu Ridge is not a single mountain, it is made up of five peaks.
In the past few days, the armies of the country have been trying to outflank and minimize the scope of their activities. If nothing else, it is likely to end up being captured in the net.
Of course, since the fox demon has persisted for so long, the accident has come as scheduled.
Isn't He Lingchuan, who answered it, here?
But he also got bad news:
In the past few days, the fox demon has been seriously injured.
"Not good." He Lingchuan muttered, "This is not good. β
According to the information he obtained from Fang Canran, the fox demon had fought against the Yao Kingdom several months ago, and his injuries had not recovered; Now it has added new injuries, "Tsk, this response mission is not going to turn into a rescue mission." β
"I have to let Mu Guo add money when I go back." Dong Rui looked up at the sky, "It's almost dark, it's a good opportunity for us to go up the mountain." However, it is not easy to go up and come down. β
The entire mountain was forbidden, and they and the fox demon had to leave here on foot.
Next, He Lingchuan asked the captives about the setting of the encirclement. But this guy is just a small soldier, only responsible for his own position, and his knowledge is limited.
He Lingchuan only asked about the commander of this operation, surnamed Yu, who was the heavy military general of the Ya Kingdom.
It sounds like a brave warrior, but it's actually a miscellaneous name.
It's been a long time, and there are a lot of miscellaneous generals. At only twenty-five years old, General Yu was also the fastest to promote.
In this operation, he led an army of 1,700 to encircle and suppress the Great Demon Sanwei, blocking several tunnel exits in advance, otherwise the difficulty of arresting would at least double.
After asking about this, the two of them disposed of the captives and went into the mountains.
It was also easy for them to avoid the army on the mountain, and these teams all held high pine oil torches, and from a distance, the mountains were dotted with stars and fires.
This was deliberately done by the army to force the fox demon to panic, but it objectively facilitated the actions of He Lingchuan and the others.
If you look at the sparse fire, you can see that those places have either been searched, or they are likely to be the hiding places of the fox demons.
"I'm not optimistic." Dong Rui put his hand on the pergola, "It seems that the fox demon doesn't have much room to move." We're here at this time, and we're lucky for them. β
