Chapter Ninety-Four: Into the Mountain

Under the leadership of Dureth, Shrek and the others went to the barracks to recuperate, and obtained information that the target was the Hand of Death, the evil soul master's gang.

According to intelligence, the main area of activity of the Death Hand bandits is in the middle of the Mingdou Mountains, and they will only descend the mountain as fast as possible when they have a specific target.

The entire bandit group numbered about three hundred. All of them are young adults. Among them, soul masters account for about one-tenth of the number. There is no accurate information on who the leader of the bandit group is. It's just that I know that it is a soul master who has cultivated to at least the level of a soul king or above, and there is no way to know the ability.

The reason why there is so little information is because the hand of death never leaves a living mouth where it passes, and its methods are extremely cruel.

The latest information came from about half a month ago, when they plundered a group of merchants and then escaped into the interior of the Ming Dou Mountain Range. Intelligence has an approximate direction of its departure.

After three hours of meditation at noon, Sun Wukong and the others began to march towards the Mingdou Mountain Range, but the speed of travel was not gratifying.

It was getting dark, and they hadn't yet touched the target, and under Wang Yan's reminder, Ma Xiaotao ordered everyone to rest and eat dinner on the spot, but this time they couldn't make a fire and couldn't enjoy Huo Yuhao's craftsmanship.

As soon as they rested, everyone relaxed, and Ma Xiaotao found Dai Keyheng to talk about his father, the leader of their legion yesterday, but at this time, Wang Yan quietly left alone.

And of course, this Monkey King saw it in his eyes, and he didn't need to rest, so he just ate some dry food and followed.

Wang Yan walked for a while, not far from the resting place, and Sun Wukong quickly chased after him, "Teacher, where are you going?" ”

Wang Yan smiled and said, "I'll look for any clues, do you want to be together?" ”

Since Wang Yan invited, Sun Wukong naturally had no reason to refuse, and followed Wang Yan forward.

Sun Wukong opened the way in front, "Teacher, you said that you are looking for clues, it should be to see if you can judge our current position!" There are only rough signs on the map, and the roads in the mountains are rough and complicated, so are you worried that we are going in the wrong direction? ”

Wang Yan smiled when he heard this: "Almost, I want to confirm that our progress is there, and we have finally reached that area of the Mingdou Mountain Range." And this can be found through some natural factors, you see here. ”

Wang Yan pointed to a tree in front of him, "This is the Wen Lan tree, the Wen Lan tree is a relatively rare tree species, its heart can be used for medicine, the trunk is as hard as iron, and it is most suitable for making all kinds of furniture." Its growth is extremely demanding on air. It can only be found in places where vegetation is extremely abundant. I once saw in an ancient book that the place where the Wen Lan tree grows will not appear until it is at least fifty miles deep into the dense forest. This means that we have indeed entered the hinterland of the Mingdou Mountain Range. ”

"Looks like we're not far from that guy." Sun Wukong looked at Wen Lanshu and said.

Wang Yan was a little curious, and said, "Oh, how do you know this?" ”

Sun Wukong pointed to a Wen Lan tree and said: "I can feel that this tree is shady and cool, and it should be very suitable for the kind of soul master who cultivates the Yin and Cold Martial Soul, and its tree heart should have a good auxiliary effect on cultivation. ”

Wang Yan looked at Sun Wukong and praised: "Yes, I found out about this just now, but in order to confirm the location of that group, I deliberately moved forward, and now there is a road that has been completely dug up from the heart of the tree, and there is a high probability that it will be their location at the end." ”

"Looks like it's time for us to go back." Sun Wukong looked at Wang Yan's appearance and knew that Wang Yan would not let him act alone, so he had to take the initiative to go back.

It was getting darker and darker, and in this forest, there was a feeling that I couldn't see my fingers. At this time, Wang Yan and Sun Wukong returned.

"Everybody, come here." Wang Yan beckoned and motioned for everyone to come to him.

The students in the outer courtyard immediately took action, but the seven people in the inner courtyard looked a little impatient. In terms of cultivation, Wang Yan is also a soul king, but he is just about the same as them, and he is also a teacher in the outer court. These inner court students have always only recognized strength. I don't have much respect for teachers who are not stronger than them. But the teacher is a teacher after all, and they still give face.

Next, Wang Yan said his inference, he took the initiative to lead the team to find the evil soul master gang, and where Sun Wukong and he returned, Wang Yan stopped and said: "I just found that among the destroyed Wen Lan trees, the traces of this one are the latest, that is to say, the last to be destroyed. Yu Hao, you use your spirit probe to search as carefully as possible within thirty meters in diameter. ”

"Yes." Suddenly, the three-dimensional images around them quickly appeared, and sure enough, in their direction of three o'clock, traces were found, and then Wang Yan found clues in some subtle places, such as broken branches that were stepped on, and shallow footprints left on the ground. Rags left on tree branches. A little blood on the thorn spikes.

Following these clues, they gradually walked out of the woods in front of them, and for more than half an hour, they were moving forward at this slow pace.

"Stop." Wang Yan suddenly raised his hand. The students who followed him immediately crouched down and quickly approached him.

Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "The direction we are looking for should be right. There are a large number of footprints in front of it, which are obviously often walked by. The enemy should not be far away, everyone adjust their state and prepare for battle. ”

The woods in front of them had become very sparse, and through Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection and sharing, even Ma Xiaotao and Dai Keyheng could clearly find those traces. Obviously, Wang Yan must have found the right place.

Sun Wukong has been watching Wang Yan lead the way, in fact, after Sun Wukong lost the eye disease of fiery eyes, with his original eyes, he found these traces early, but he didn't want to show it too much, so he watched Wang Yan play, and finally arrived at the destination.

Next, Wang Yan confirmed that the target was at the bottom of the hill on the left, and everyone separated from each other and changed back into the costume of the Shrek Overseer.

When everyone reunited, looking at each other's whole bodies that had been covered, everyone suddenly felt a sense of mystery. The cloak covers the head and body. It is very close-fitting, and its material seems to be the same as the inner armor. Light and thin, but very textured. And has a good defense.

Wang Yan said in a low voice: "Prepare to go." Little Momo, it's still you who command the battle. I was in charge of commanding the reserves, and Sun Wukong followed the disciples of the inner courtyard and participated in the battle. ”

"Okay." Ma Xiaotao immediately agreed. Slightly short, Ma Xiaotao was the first to jump out. Dai Keyheng and Chen Zifeng were on either side of her, Sun Wukong was behind her, and the other four inner courtyard disciples also acted quickly, maintaining a strict formation and quietly touching out.

Seconds after they left. Wang Yancai waved his hand and followed with the reserves.
