Not long after Ye Nantian left, Gu Yuan fell into a coma again, and when he woke up again, it was already night.

The room was dark with the smell of herbs, and I couldn't see my fingers.

"Night Old."

Ye Yun on the bed suddenly spoke, and as soon as the words fell, a rickety figure appeared in front of the bed at some point, like a ghost.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the old slave is here." The figure bowed slightly, and whispered respectfully. His voice was old and hoarse, like a stone scratching on glass, and it was extremely harsh.

Ye Yun sighed lightly and said, "The elixir in Uncle Ye's mansion has almost been consumed by me, and the medicinal materials sold in the Fang Market in the city have little effect on my injuries, but if I recuperate, it will take at least half a year for my injuries to fully recover, but I can't wait that long, I want to go to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range with you tomorrow to find some high-grade elixirs." ”

The old man, who was called the Night Old by Ye Yun, thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "The Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range is full of dangers, and the old slave does not dare to guarantee the safety of His Highness... The queen mother said that the king of Zhennan is a trustworthy person, and His Royal Highness should not be sick in the palace, so it is better for the old slave to find the elixir to help His Royal Highness heal... What does Your Highness think? ”

Ye Yun lay quietly on the bed, as if he was thinking, and only after a long time did he say lightly: "The Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range does not dare to guarantee safety, but now, except for Ye Lao, I don't believe anyone." ”

"The old slave obeys." The night elder bowed his head and took two steps back, as if blending into the darkness.

……

The Great Qian Dynasty is bordered by the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains in the south, the Endless Sea in the north, the Red Desert in the east, and the Luoyang Mountains in the west.

The Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range is one of the largest gathering places of demon beasts in the Northern Regions, which is not only a treasure land, but also a fierce place.

It is said to be a treasure land, because the whole body of the demon beast is a treasure, the fur can be refined into armor, the teeth and bones can be forged into weapons, and the flesh and blood can be used in medicine.

A low-level demon beast can be exchanged for a hundred gold coins, and these sums can make an ordinary family of five live comfortably for an entire year.

And because the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range has sufficient aura, all kinds of magical medicinal materials have grown. If you are lucky enough and come across a high-grade elixir, you may be able to become a wealthy family in southern Xinjiang in one fell swoop.

Therefore, there are countless warriors who come to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains every year to seek luck, which also makes Southern Xinjiang, which has an extremely large population compared to other places.

And it is said to be a fierce place, because demon beasts are born bloodthirsty and brutal, and in their eyes, human beings are just a kind of food, and the warriors in the mouths of demon beasts who die every year can be counted.

On this day, when the sun rises in the east, the morning light has just fallen into the forest, and the morning mist in the mountains has begun to slowly drift away, and the mountains that stretch to the end of the sky begin to reveal between heaven and earth.

On the periphery of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, a team of more than a dozen people walked slowly in the forest, this is a mercenary team, an organization specializing in hunting demon beasts and collecting elixirs to sell, because they often fight with brutal demon beasts, so the mercenaries are basically fierce and ruthless people.

"Be careful with Lao Tzu, the recent demon beasts are not quiet, and the wolf tooth mercenary group a few days ago broke several people here." One of the big men in the lead turned around and said in a solemn voice, as he spoke, his gaze kept sweeping to the shadows of the forest, and the muscles of the arm holding the big knife were tense, obviously extremely vigilant.

"Commander, you've said this seven or eight times, and you haven't been babbling before you enter the mountains, and my ears can hear the cocoon." A sturdy, nine-foot-tall bald man carried a hundred-pound mace and shouted dissatisfiedly.

A tall thin man next to the bald man frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Don't make trouble! The strength of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group is not much weaker than that of our Blood Fang Mercenary Group. ”

The bald man pursed his lips, his gaze moved along the team, and when he landed on the last two people in the group, a touch of tranquility passed through his reddish eyes, he grinned and said in a suppressed voice: "I hope this half-cut old man and this short-lived imp can attract a wind leopard, hehe." ”

The bald man's voice was not loud, and he was two or three feet away from the back of the team, at such a distance, ordinary people could not hear his words clearly, and the people around him who heard clearly were all smiling, but they tried their best to hide the ferocity in their eyes.

Walking at the end of the line, the old man who was shrouded in black robes raised his eyebrows slightly, a cold light flashed in his cloudy eyes, and he was about to make a move but was stopped by the pale young man next to him.

The young man smiled, glanced at the bald man in front of him, his eyes were meaningful, and he said in a low voice: "It's out of the way, it's just as I wish." ”

When the old man heard this, he did not speak, but followed the young man silently.

"Poof!" The bald man looked at the sick young man who glanced at him and then withdrew his gaze, and sneered, his eyes calm.

"Okay, Mo Laosan, if you affect this operation, you don't want to get a gold coin!" When the leading man saw this scene, a trace of impatience flashed on his face, and after a reprimand, he squinted at the old man and the sick boy behind him, snorted lightly and continued to move forward.

There was a threat and warning in his eyes.

"Old Night, we're heading in the right direction, right?" The sick boy smiled unconcernedly, and whispered sideways.

The two of them were Gu Yuan and Ye Lao, who went to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range to find the elixir.

"I'm getting close to the target, keep going about a hundred feet, and you can touch it." Ye Lao closed his eyes, and at the center of his eyebrows, a strange fluctuation quietly emanated, and nodded. Although his eyes were closed, his steps were exactly the same as Gu Yuan's every time he moved, and he always kept the same distance from Ye Yun.

"Then go ahead." A trace of expectation flashed across Gu Yuan's immature face, and the steps under his feet sped up a little, and he slowly walked forward with the team.

As the mountains deepened, the dense foliage blocked out too much of the daylight, the cold air in the forest became heavier, and more strangely, the surrounding environment became more and more silent.

"Something is wrong!" The leader of the Bloodtooth Mercenary Group stopped and said with a solemn expression, "According to the news given by the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group, a large number of low-level demon beasts have run to the outskirts of the mountain range... It stands to reason that even if we hadn't encountered a demon beast now, we should have encountered an ordinary beast a long time ago, but now there is no movement......

The tall and thin man who had reprimanded Mo Laosan before carried a dagger and slowly walked to the head of the Blood Fang Mercenary Group, and said with a heavy face: "When these demon beasts ran to the periphery, some people speculated that there might be high-level demon beasts that left the center of the mountain range and scared these demon beasts out......"

Speaking of this, the thin and tall man's face was already full of horror, and the hand holding the sharp dagger was trembling slightly.

"Nonsense! High-level demon beasts never leave their territory easily, let alone run here! The leader of the Bloodtooth Mercenary Regiment scolded loudly, but the trembling voice showed the panic in his heart.

High-level demon beasts can only be barely dealt with by the powerhouses of the Ning Dan Realm, and the strongest of them is only themselves in the middle stage of the Spirit Refining Realm, and they have no power to resist at all.

At this point, the other members of the Blood Fang Mercenary Group could no longer maintain their composure, and Mo Laosan, who was carrying a mace, said in a trembling voice: "Commander, let's withdraw, only by living can we make money." ”

Ye Yun, who was at the back of the team, heard this, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up a strange smile, which actually looked a little weird, but it was a pity that no one would pay attention to a terminally ill teenager.

"Okay, we'll ......"

The leader of the Bloody Fang Mercenary Regiment was obviously a little moved, and before he finished speaking, a cold and cold aura suddenly shrouded him, and in the next moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the depths of the mountain forest in front of him, bringing a terrifying fishy wind.

"It's not good, this is a high-level demon beast, run!" The leader of the Blood Fang Mercenary Regiment's face changed greatly, and he screamed in horror, and then turned around and ran wildly, and the people who were frightened by the demon beast gradually reacted and began to run back desperately.

The members of the Blood Fang Mercenary Group who fled for their lives in a panic did not notice that Ye Yun and the two people behind the team had quietly disappeared at some point.

"Roar!"

The roar of the beast full of fury was heard, and the vague black shadow in the forest flashed, like black lightning, directly behind a big man with a slightly slower movement, and almost in the next moment, the terrible screams suddenly sounded accompanied by the sound of chewing, and the rich smell of blood drifted wildly.

The death of his companion aroused even more panic in everyone's hearts, and the speed of escape was actually a little faster.

It's just that this speed is still not enough in front of high-level demon beasts.

The sound of chewing and swallowing flesh stopped for a long time, and the huge black shadow in the mountain forest was obviously not full, and a jump crossed a distance of several zhang, and then a member of the Bloodtooth Mercenary Group was caught in the beast's mouth, and the screams and chewing sounded again.

Listening to this voice, the eyes of the mercenary group leader, the slender man, Mo Laosan and the others who were running in front of them flashed fiercely, and they didn't know what they were thinking about.

Time passed quietly, and before I knew it, this life-and-death escape had lasted for half an hour, and the survivors gradually felt that their physical strength was difficult to support.

"Ahh I don't want to die, save me!! ”

The screams of despair came into their ears again, and the three people who ran in front got goosebumps, and the panic in their eyes grew stronger and stronger, because now, only the three of them were left.

"Boom!"

The sound of the heavy object falling to the ground was like the sound of a bell when death came, and a terrifying wind struck, and a bloody black shadow had already come behind the three of them.

"Nope! No! I don't want to die! ”

Feeling the terrifying wind behind him, the leader of the Bloodtooth Mercenary Regiment had a panicked face, and then his face turned ruthless, and the long knife in his hand slammed into the leg of the tall and thin man beside him.

"Ahh

Sen Leng's knife light swept by, bright red blood spurted, the thin and tall man howled miserably, one thigh was removed, and the whole person fell forward.

Bang!

Looking at the members of the regiment who were still crawling forward with frightened faces, a cruel smile flashed on the face of the leader of the Bloody Fang Mercenary Regiment, and he continued to run forward.

The black shadow did not continue to chase forward, but bit the tall thin man in one bite, and in the wail, chewed the latter into minced meat and swallowed it.

"Regiment... Head. Mo Laosan's face turned pale, and he looked at the head of the regiment who was still drinking together yesterday in horror, and he could barely hold the mace in his hand.

The eyes of the leader of the Blood Fang Mercenary Regiment flickered, and then he suddenly turned his head to look at Mo Laosan, and smiled sinisterly: "Third child, you can rest assured that you will die, I will live to take care of your wife and children for you." ”

After speaking, the long knife in his hand slashed diagonally, and Mo Laosan didn't have time to react at all, and the cold blade sank into his body......

"Live, live..."

After killing Mo Laosan, the leader of the Blood Fang Mercenary Regiment looked crazy, and his potential exploded between life and death, and he suddenly shook off the black shadow behind him.

"Ha, hahaha... When I get out of this mountain forest, I can enter the city, and then I can live! Fast! Faster! ”

The leader of the Bloodfang Mercenary Regiment roared almost frantically, but in just a few breaths, he was already about to pass through the dense forest, and as long as he took a few more steps, he could live forever.

"People like you don't deserve to live."

However, at this moment, a cold voice sounded without warning, and a pitch-black spear suddenly flew in, instantly piercing the head of the leader of the Bloodfang Mercenary Regiment.
