Chapter 80: A First Exploration of the Forbidden Zone (3)

"Deacon Xu should be the first time to enter this kind of place, don't worry, Ma Daoyou around you may know that this area is the only way to enter the forbidden area, and this time has been turned upside down by the monks who came to explore, and there will be no danger."

The disciple of the Du family named Du Xiuhan seemed to feel that Xu Fengshi looked a little nervous, so he smiled and comforted him, Du Xiuhan was kind and kind, and his speech was quite humorous, which was very different from the kind of family children in the hearts of the world.

Du Xiuhan was very puzzled why Shi Cheng would bring an ordinary person into the forbidden area, but he was thinking about these questions in his heart, Shi Cheng was a half-step sect master, and he was just an ordinary inner disciple, and he was not familiar with the other party, so he was naturally not qualified to ask the other party.

As they spoke, the group had left the glowing eerie river and embarked on a "path" up the mountain.

The "path" is not artificially paved, and when there are many explorers, it is natural to step on a path.

Shi Cheng briefly discussed with Duke before, and decided to retrace the route that Duke took when he last entered the penalty area.

When everyone was chatting on the road, Duke was extremely shocked to learn the identity of Shi Chengdanshi from Xu Fengshi's mouth, which made his respect for Shi Cheng go up a notch, and when talking to Shi Cheng, his tone sometimes even became a little flattering, and Duke also consciously walked in front of Shi Cheng when everyone advanced, in a sense, he played the role of opening the way.

Xu Fengshi and Ma Guo had no objections, the two of them had been running together since they entered the forbidden area, and this abnormal performance made Shi Cheng muttered a little in his heart, and also made him more and more curious about the purpose of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce.

However, on the surface, Shi Cheng looked like nothing was happening from beginning to end, talking and laughing with Duke and the others, while making an unfathomable appearance from time to time, looking intently at the surrounding scenery, and his fingers were still pinching and calculating the surrounding scenery.

Wu Neng, who had been unable to interject, and Tie Mian, who had been silent, were put aside for a while.

Unconsciously, the sun has risen in the sky, but everyone has come all the way, but the inside of the forbidden area is calm, not to mention the demon beasts, and not even a runaway ancient formation has not been encountered, if it weren't for the strange flowers and plants around them that are obviously different from those outside the forbidden area, even Shi Cheng and Tie Mian would have wondered if they had come to the wrong place.

"Du Daoyou, this forbidden area is really calm, which is a bit unexpected by Shi." Shi Cheng's eyes wandered away from a cliff in the distance, and he asked casually.

"Don't hide it from Shi Daoyou, when the strange treasures in this forbidden area first appeared, this road was still a little dangerous, there were many highly poisonous demon beasts, and a few broken ancient magic circles were here. However, this Kenbin forbidden area is too small, and there are so many people from the rivers and lakes, so the danger factors in this area were quickly eliminated by the explorers. ”

Speaking of this, Duke adjusted his arm guard a little helplessly, "But it's strange to say, there are so many people here, and I haven't heard any news about the whereabouts of the strange treasure until now." It was as if the strange treasure had just come out and appeared and told everyone that I was here, and then went back to sleep. ”

"Maybe someone has found the whereabouts of the strange treasure, but they don't want to tell it?" Wu Neng finally picked up his mouth and asked.

"Wu Daoyou doesn't know, if this Kenbin Forbidden Zone is a large forbidden area of some scale, it would be fine, but in such a small place, you said that the news related to the whereabouts of the treasure can be covered so tightly, I don't believe it."

Xu Fengshi was thoughtful, and suddenly asked: "If you can't find it on the ground, is it possible to hide it underground?" ”

Duke shrugged, "It's not impossible, there have been sects that have dug deep wells in some places they think are suspicious before, but it is said that nothing has been found. ”

"What Daoyou said may not be too absolute, although there are many disciples of your Du family who came this time, but if you want to control all the clues related to Kenbin City and Kenbin Forbidden Zone, I'm afraid it's not realistic." Iron Mask said calmly.

Although the tone of Tie Mian's words was calm, the meaning of the words was still a little blunt after all, and there was already a trace of unhappiness in the eyes of several younger Du family disciples.

Duke didn't care, he explained with a smile: "Where there are rivers and lakes, there are all kinds of people, including those who sell news. Speaking of this, he glanced at Shi Cheng and Xu Fengshi, and then said, "There are a lot of people selling news in Kenbin City, both locals and foreigners, and the big dealers with high prices can even sell some big materials, although our Du family is not a famous family, but it is also a small asset, and it is not difficult to buy news from a broker with bright ears and eyes." ”

Duke wasn't afraid to talk about it, after all, if he stayed in Kenbin City for a while, he would have some idea of the activity of the news vendors here.

He glanced at the people around him with his peripheral vision, and found that Shi Cheng, who was still indifferent, suddenly frowned at this time.

"Shi Daoyou?" Duke snorted tentatively.

"Oh, I'm sorry I'm a little distracted, Shi has also heard of the brokers who sell news in the city, but I didn't expect them to be so well-informed." Shi Cheng waved his hand, and the expression on his face returned to normal.

"That's natural, the people who can sell news here are either natives who have seen the world or foreigners who often wander here, and many of them have intricate relationships with some powerful local snakes in the city. To be honest, even those of us who came from the Great Wei Cultivation Family disciples would encounter times when dealing with those people. After chatting all the way, the elder of the Du family, who originally seemed meticulous, now feels like a coachman in Yujing City, the capital of the Alliance Khanate, who seems to know everything and can talk about anything.

Soon, the group carefully rounded a giant mushroom wrapped in mist, and after turning over a small lush mound, the sound of the rushing water became clearer.

A disciple of the Du family who had taken the lead had a little change in color, he quickly turned his head and said to Du Ke: "Elder, that is the small waterfall that Senior Brother Du Heng said before that there are thieves infested. ”

Du Heng's face also became serious, he hurriedly looked at Shi Cheng and said, "Shi Daoyou, when Du Heng came to the forbidden area for the last time, he said that he saw a suspicious thief at the nearby waterfall when the team was camping. At that time, the clansmen who followed Du Heng camped on a sunny slope not far behind the waterfall. ”

Speaking of this, Du Heng stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance, Shi Cheng's eyes followed, and after crossing a strange rock, woods and clouds, he saw a small waterfall hanging vertically on the cliff, the waterfall and the waterhole below were extremely clear, completely different from the river that would glow at the entrance of the forbidden area, but under the background of the gloomy sky and the moss on the cliff, this extremely normal waterfall actually gave everyone a mysterious and weird feeling.

"Let's go and have a look." Shi Cheng said without hesitation.
