Entering the Babao Town Boundary Tower, a hexagonal bright light pattern of about two square meters appears in front of you.

"When you walk in, you enter the Ancient Boundary Mountain. When it shines, it means that it is in the open period. Qin Zhao said this to Shanshan and them.

"Elder Ge, just in case, let's go in first." The heavily armed captain said respectfully to Qin Zhao.

"Go ahead!"

Receiving the order, the captain sent the soldiers in a procession. After all the soldiers entered, it was Shanshan, Hanhan and Xiao Huan, Qin Zhao was the last.

The hexagonal light was like a big hole, and as soon as you stepped into it, you fell into it, your eyes were pitch black, and after a few breaths, when you saw the light again, you were already in the ancient realm mountain.

"Where are they going?" Looking at the soldiers who scattered in all directions, Shanshan asked.

"After entering the Gujie Mountain from the fixed entrance, we can only move within a certain range, and this range is a circle, and this is the center of the circle. I will distribute these hundred warriors along the circumference, as long as someone comes close to us, we will know, if it is Xu Qian, we will guide him in, and we can take him out. ”

"How big is this? Enough for 100 people? Xiao Huan raised his eyes and looked into the distance, feeling that this place was not small.

"The area we can move in is a circle with a radius of 20 kilometers, and the circumference is about 125 kilometers. Qin Zhao pointed to a wooden house not far away, "Let's go and wait in the aid station." ”

"And what is a aid station?" Shanshan is very interested in the wooden house of dozens of square meters.

"There was food and water in the shelter, as well as medicine and some necessities. It will be of great help to those who are living in the Ancient Realm Mountains and can walk here. There are many such aid stations in this 20-kilometer radius. Every year when the entrance opens, the Eight Treasures Sect sends people in to replace and replenish the items in the aid station. ”

Entering the aid station, Shanshan exclaimed, "What a lot to eat!" ”

Looking at the dazzling boxes of canned food on the shelves, Qin Zhao introduced: "A rescue station will reserve at least one person's supply for one year, so that such a rescue station can ensure that one person can survive until the next year, when the entrance opens." ”

"Pavilion Elder, several soldiers have reported finding a large number of corpses of Trial Sect disciples." The captain was the only one who stayed with Qin Zhao, and naturally mobile phones could not be used in this place, but they could use military walkie-talkies and the like to make contact.

"A large number of corpses? How much? "The trial itself will kill people, although there are regulations that no killers are allowed between the trial disciples, but in this special environment, there will always be people who hide from the world and put people to death, every year's trials are like this, the Datang official also turns a blind eye, as long as it is not too excessive, it will not get to the bottom of it, only the sect with serious losses may lose its temper, but in the end, it is generally over. So as long as the number of people was within the normal range, Qin Zhao would not be surprised.

"More than 50 bodies have been found so far, and the numbers are still increasing."

"So much?" Qin Zhao was also a little moved.

He knew that the total number of people who participated in this trial was 310, and now he found that the number of dead people was almost 20%, and the normal value should be within 10%, and the trial was only to train the young disciples of various sects, not to let them die. Those who can come in for trials are the best disciples in each sect, and it is distressing to lose a sect, and it will be distressing if there are more Datang.

"You let them continue to report what they find." Qin Zhao frowned and didn't give any further instructions.

It took about an hour and a half for the soldiers to arrive at their proper position, and Qin Zhao and the others could only wait quietly, and nothing else could be done.

During this time, though, the number of bodies found has been increasing.

"How big is Gujie Mountain!" Shanshan thought of a key question.

"It's big, but no one knows how big." Qin Zhao didn't intend to hide it.

"Nobody knows? Didn't anyone go through it all? "I don't know if it's the earth, but humans already know about it, at least the situation on the surface is still understood. Now they are only discussing a vague area issue, and they have not even figured it out.

"Nope! No one can fly here, only relying on the legs and the body, the speed of travel is limited, and in the area outside this circle, it is not easy to survive step by step. According to the records of our Datang, someone strayed into the uncertain entrance to Gujie Mountain and finally luckily found this place and escaped, that person said that he had survived in Gujie Mountain for more than 3 years, had been looking for a way out, and had not walked the same road. ”

"It's been 3 years!" Shanshan and Xiao Huan both opened their mouths wide.

Even if the walking speed is very slow, the distance traveled in 3 years is very long, which also shows how big Gujie Mountain really is.

"Could it be that the Ancient Boundary Mountain is the size of the earth?" Shanshan didn't have a specific concept, but it felt like she was about the same.

"If the Ancient Realm Mountain is really that big, the chances of Xu Potential finding this place are very low." Xiao Huan lost no time in making up for it.

Imagine that this circle with a radius of 20 kilometers is roughly the extent of a city. What is the probability that a person will walk aimlessly on a random point on the earth and walk aimlessly to a specific city?

"Can't you go out from here and take the initiative to find your brother?"

"No, you can't leave this circle, this is the law of the Ancient Boundary Mountain. Only those who enter from an indefinite entrance can get unimpeded. Qin Zhao responded in a deep voice.

"I said, it's not a way to go on like this, do you know where to get out?" The relationship between Xu Qian and Qianshu is much closer, not as much as before, at least the basic information such as the name is known.

"I don't know the specific location, I've only heard about some things about Gujie Mountain before, it is said that the five main cities jointly control a stronghold in Gujie Mountain, which is a not too big area, as long as we go to that place, we can get out."

"You came in from the Orc Continent, and I came in from the Tang Dynasty, and the Huaxia side can also enter the Gujie Mountain, so Gujie Mountain is likely to be a node connecting the major worlds." Xu Qian muttered: "In other words, the major worlds have one or more strongholds of the kind you mentioned in the Ancient Realm Mountain. Perhaps, we have more than one path to follow. ”

Chiki agreed, "I think so. It's just that this Ancient Realm Mountain is full of dangers, and even if there is a way out, we have no clue, and there is no other way but to go deeper. ”

"But......" Xu Qian's face was bitter, "I'm hungry—"

Even if it is counted from the time I wake up, it is estimated that it has been more than a day now, and ordinary people who can't eat all day long can't be hungry and panic? The food in the storage space could not be taken out, and the things in the Ancient Realm Mountain were worried and poisonous.

"Since the predecessors have lived here for so long, they must have eaten the food here, as long as we are careful, we should still be able to find safe food." Qianshu was also hungry, but not as serious as Xu Qian.

"It would be nice if there were animals, and they would be delicious and safe."

"Animals?" Chiki recalled some rumors he had heard when he was a child, "There should be, but we haven't encountered them yet, or we need to go deeper." ”

"Okay! Then keep walking! ”

The stronghold of the Tang Dynasty in the ancient boundary mountain

"146?" An unbelievable expression appeared on Qin Zhao's face, and soon, he regained his composure, "Inform the Eight Treasure Sect, immediately end the trial, bring all the remaining sect disciples to the Eight Treasure Sect, find those in the know, and see what happened!" ”

The captain led the order to retreat.

Nearly half of the people died, this has never happened in the trials of the sect for hundreds of years, it can be said that there was a major accident, not to mention the Eight Treasure Sect, even Qin Zhao didn't know how to explain to the 23 sects. What made Qin Zhao's heart even heavier was that the reason was unknown. No matter how unacceptable the real reason is, nothing is more heart-wrenching than an unknown threat.

At this time, near a rescue station more than ten kilometers away from Qin Zhao, there were ten corpses lying on the ground, and a handsome young man tore off a piece of cloth from a certain corpse, wiped the blood stains on the sword, and said with a sneer: "Killing one more is considered to have exceeded the task." I don't know if that Huaxia genius named Xu Qian can hold up for three seconds when he meets me. ”
