Chapter 179: The Mystery of the Valley
Less than a quarter of an hour after Fang Yan and the two left, there was a rush of footsteps from the other direction, and soon, five black figures appeared in the forest. And these five people are all the strength of the late stage of the Soul Condensing Realm.
And the person in the lead was the black-clothed young man that Fang Yan had seen earlier, obviously, these people heard the movement just now and rushed over.
The five of them took a look in a messy forest and soon found the middle-aged man who had just been killed by Fang Yan.
Looking at the middle-aged man who was obviously lifeless, the five of them were all shocked, and then walked over quickly.
However, after seeing the three holes on the middle-aged man's body, the face of the young man in black turned completely dark.
"Young Master, is it him?" Behind the black-clothed youth, an emaciated man stared at the three still bleeding holes and asked in disbelief.
"That's him." The black-clothed young man nodded slowly, pointed to the three holes and said, "These injuries are caused by his spirit weapon. ”
"That'...... So what now? Hearing the affirmative answer of the young man in black, the emaciated man couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Not only him, but the other three also glanced at each other a little stiffly, and they could all see a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes.
The strength of this person in front of him is the strongest existence except for the young master. But even so, he was killed. And he was killed by a person who was only in the middle of his strength.
The young man in black thought for a moment with a dark face, and said, "This kid didn't go in this direction at all when he fled before, but now that he has appeared here, he must go in this direction." We're chasing it in that direction. ”
"But, young master, you said that he has a set of extremely fast exercises, can we catch up with him?"
"Hmph, I still don't believe it, his set of exercises can still run forever." The black-clothed young man snorted coldly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that set of exercises should be very energy-consuming. And he had just experienced a big battle, and there shouldn't be much vitality in his body, so he couldn't escape far. As long as we pay more attention, there is a great hope of finding him. ”
Hearing this, the other four nodded slightly.
"Let's go, this kid is a little weird, let's be careful. As long as you find him, go straight to the killer. The young man in black spoke, and led the four of them to quickly chase in the direction of the right.
But how did they know that the tongues were departing in the opposite direction to what they were doing now?
……
Fang Yan ran wildly all the way, but because the girl in the yellow shirt was following behind, she couldn't show her shadow at all, and her speed was naturally a lot slower. However, although he was anxious, he was not worried.
He had deliberately looked around when he was leaving, and there was no one within a radius of hundreds of zhang. Besides, he changed direction again, so he didn't think that the young man in black would catch up in this direction so coincidentally.
However, although he thought so in his heart, he still cautiously looked around as he walked forward, for fear that something would happen.
If he had noticed the five late-stage strength of the black-clothed young man now, I was afraid that he would immediately leave this yellow-shirted girl and run away alone, where would he dare to inquire about the affairs of the valley.
Five late-stage strength people are far from what he can deal with.
After walking seven or eight miles away, Fang Yan suddenly slowed down his pace and asked the girl behind him, "What's your name?" ”
"Su Ying." The girl in the yellow shirt was stunned, and then replied quickly.
"Subei is your father?" Fang Yan continued to ask.
"Yes."
"What kind of strength is your father?" Fang Yan asked cautiously, if this girl's father was too strong, he had better keep his distance from her as soon as possible, after all, she had seen that he had three spirit weapons.
If he accidentally bumped into her father in this forest, he couldn't guarantee that he would survive.
"Early stage of the Soul Condensation Realm." The yellow-shirted girl named Su Ying hesitated for a moment, but then replied.
"Early?" Fang Yan stared at the girl in the yellow shirt for a moment, and nodded thoughtfully after not seeing any signs of her lying, if her father was the strength in the early stage, he was not afraid.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you, I brought you here mainly because I want to ask you something." Fang Yan said: "Anyway, I can be regarded as saving your life, so I hope you can answer me truthfully in the following questions." After answering my question, we went our separate ways, and we didn't owe each other. ”
"What you said is true?" When Su Ying heard this, her eyes lit up violently, and she asked in disbelief.
She came all the way, but she was extremely nervous, and she didn't understand what this young man of the same age as herself wanted to do. However, he racked his brains and didn't expect that the other party asked him to come with him and just wanted to ask a few questions.
"Since I said it, it's true." Fang Yan replied helplessly: "Do I have to deceive you?" ”
Su Ying looked embarrassed and said, "Then you ask, as long as I know, I will tell you." ”
Fang Yan didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "Let me ask you, who is the Hong family you were talking about just now?" ”
Su Ying was stunned again when she heard this, and her face showed surprise, as if she didn't expect that the young man in front of her didn't know the information about the Hong family.
Don't...... Isn't he an enemy of the Hong family? However, why did he kill the people of the Hong family just now?
Suddenly, a series of doubts flashed out of her mind, and she even forgot to reply.
"What? The Hong family is so terrifying that you don't even dare to talk about them? Or maybe you don't want to tell me? Seeing that Su Ying didn't speak, Fang Yan's brows furrowed slightly.
"Huh?" Su Ying came back to her senses and said busily: "Actually, I don't know much about this Hong family. ”
"You don't know either?" Fang Yan looked stunned, then glanced at her suspiciously, and sneered, "Do you think I will believe your words?" ”
"What I said is true." Looking at Fang Yan's skeptical gaze, Su Ying hurriedly explained, "It's only been a little over a month since we came here. I really don't know much about this Hong family. ”
"You've only been here for a little over a month?" Fang Yan was stunned for a moment before he said, "You mean, you're not from the neighborhood?" ”
"It's not." Su Ying shook her head seriously.
Fang Yan couldn't help but frown, things seemed to be more complicated than he had imagined. After a while, he said, "Then tell me what you know." ”
The reason why he was eager to inquire about the Hong family was because he wanted to know the strength of the Hong family. If the strength of the Hong family was too terrifying, he would naturally have to leave here as soon as possible.
"I've only heard that the Hong family is the overlord of a nearby town, and there are eight people with the strength of the late stage of the Soul Condensation Realm, and I don't know much about the rest." Su Ying hurriedly said: "I also heard about these from other people's mouths. ”
"Eight late-stage strength people?" Fang Yan's heart tightened, and he asked again, "Have you heard of the existence of any people among them who are stronger than the strength of the Soul Condensing Realm?" ”
"Nope." Su Ying shook her head: "It is said that the strongest strength of the Hong family is only in the later stage, and the strongest is the head of the Hong family, but I heard that he is now in retreat, preparing to impact the soul return." ”
"Oh?" Fang Yan's eyes flashed, revealing a look of surprise.
However, after hearing that the Hong family did not have the strength to return to the realm, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as there are no soul-returning people in the Hong family, he is not too worried. As long as he is careful, he still believes that the ability to protect himself is still there.
Otherwise, he would have to think hard about whether he wanted to stay here for a long time.
After making sure that the strength of the Hong family would not pose much of a threat to him, he asked Su Ying again, "What's going on with that valley you talked about before?" ”
"The valley?" Su Ying's face was puzzled.
"It's the valley you said you could get exercises, spiritual weapons, and pills." Tongue reminded.
"Oh." Su Ying's face showed a sudden expression, and she asked with a look of surprise: "You are also here for that valley?" ”
"What do you mean?" The dialect caught a message from Su Ying's words, "Could it be that there are other people who also come for this valley?" ”
"Yes, we are here for this valley, not just us, but many others for this valley as well." Su Ying glanced at Fang Yan and asked puzzledly, "However, since you are here for that valley, why did you appear here again." You know, that valley isn't in this direction. ”
"I only learned about this valley by accident when I heard the middle-aged man talking to you in that forest." Fang Yan reluctantly explained, "Since you are here for this valley, you should know that there is information about it, tell me about it in detail." ”
Su Ying nodded, and immediately briefly told Fang Yan the information about the mysterious valley.
It turns out that the primeval forest where the dialect is located is called the Ancient Mountain Range, which stretches for tens of thousands of miles, and most of it is this dense and unusual primeval forest.
Such a primeval forest, all kinds of demon beasts and rare elixirs are naturally extremely abundant. It is precisely because of this that there are often adventurous people who enter this mountain range to pick elixirs or hunt demon pills.
Of course, in such a primeval forest, the demon beasts inside are also extremely ferocious, so it is difficult for one out of ten people to enter these mountain ranges to pick elixirs who can really get out alive.
But even so, there will still be many people who venture in.
However, just half a year ago, when two people with the early strength of the Soul Condensing Realm entered this mountain range to collect elixir, they accidentally discovered a mysterious valley.
The reason why this valley is mysterious is that the entrance to that valley has always been shrouded in a faint mist, and even if you stand in front of this valley, you can't see the scene in the valley clearly......
