Chapter 45: Searching

In the early morning of the next day, the six uglies were summoned by Tu Zhu.

When they met, the six ugly were keenly aware that Tu Zhu was still wearing the leather and stomach clothes from yesterday, and he had not changed it, and there was a deep fatigue in the corners of his eyes, although his eyes were still bright, but he couldn't hide the darkness next to his eyebrows, obviously he didn't sleep last night, and when he saw the six ugly, he went straight to the point:

"There's something you have to do, and you have to do it. ”

The six ugly thought for a while, didn't answer, and asked, "But let me re-enter the Qinling Mountains?"

"That's right," Tu Zhu obviously foresaw the reaction of the six uglies, and said, "The first thing on this trip is to confirm whether the half-step demon you saw in Black Fire City is coming with the army, and there is also ......" At this point, the words were abrupt, and it seemed that he was hesitating in his heart whether to come out.

Seeing Tu Zhu's hesitation, the six uglies did not urge, knowing that this matter was definitely not trivial, so he waited quietly, and only then did he hear Tu Zhu's faint sigh, knowing that he had a plan, so he spoke:

"Please be clear. ”

Tu Zhu stared at the six ugly and said, "The second thing, it's not my intention, you can not do it, no one knows." ”

The six ugly suddenly smiled and said, "Whether you do it or not, you have to say that the edict is only known to me, and if you don't say it, how do I know if I can do it?"

Tu Zhu nodded and said, "The second thing is for you to test that half-step demon and determine its authenticity...... I have asked the mirage, but I have told him that he is not on duty now, and he cannot undo what he ordered. ”

The six ugly knew that the current head of the Tianshan Escape was vacant, and the dog hill used the way of four people on duty, and in the first issue of March, the heads of the four departments took turns to garrison, but because of the ghost banquet and the mirage in recent years, it was difficult for the head to have leisure, so it gradually became the exclusive responsibility of the corpse and the blood head, in other words, if there was a mastermind behind the scenes of intercepting the air conditioner and sending himself to the black wind outlet to die, it would definitely have nothing to do with the head of the dog hill on duty.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "So, whose hand is the order?"

"The radical of the sea of blood, the north and. Tu Zhu knew a lot about this, and sneered: "I don't know if the blood head is old and confused, and I have repeatedly emphasized that I want you to test the truth in person, if it is really a half-step demon, how can you get the message back......" He suddenly paused, seemed to have an understanding, and said: "...... Unless, in itself, you want to use your death as proof. ”

The six ugly shook their heads and said, "Even if I die, it may not prove that there is a big demon among them, right? With my strength, a few monsters can also kill me, why do you have to be a big demon, isn't this a joke?"

"Yes, this possibility is also possible, so ......" Tu Zhu pondered for a moment and said, "The blood head wants you to die?"

"I have no grudge against the blood head, why bother, I'm afraid there are other reasons, it's useless to speculate," although the six ugly people thought the same as Tu Zhu in their hearts, they didn't admit it verbally, and only said: "In this matter, I will act when I see the opportunity." ”

Tu Zhu saw that the six ugly themselves denied this speculation, and it was inconvenient to say more about the rights and wrongs of the blood, so he could only nod his head and said: "I can't stand you this time, if I hadn't summoned Inuqiu, and talked about this matter in detail, Inuqiu wouldn't let you enter the trap again, but it was equivalent to me killing you." ”

"The teachings are serious, this matter is the duty of my generation, why do you want to say it?" The six ugly already had a plan in their hearts, so they said, "What else do you want?"

Tu Zhudao: "The order requires that you have to go alone, and you can't bring ...... with you" Speaking of this, he suddenly said more: "The Suihu you are looking for is good, with excellent strength, good potential, and quite a great talent, you don't have to care about him, bring it yourself." ”

"He, forget it," the six ugly said: "This trip is just to investigate, not necessarily to fight, it's useless to bring it, it's really a big demon, there is no difference between him and him, it's better not to bring it, stay here." ”

Tu Zhu thought about it and nodded: "Okay, you still know about this matter." ”

The six ugly generals ordered him to inquire clearly, so he didn't say much, and he didn't stay anymore, and said directly to Tu Zhu: "In this case, then I will go." The teachings are precious. ”

Tu Zhu sighed again, wanting to say something, but in the end he just advised: "Be careful." ”

The six ugly smiled, came out of Tu Zhu, returned to the residence, began to pack their bags and belongings, entrusted Moyun to Guanlan, and went to Qinling lightly to explore the truth of the demon.

Before leaving, Tu Zhu sent someone to come again and sent Zhang Yutu.

This is a map drawn inside the Tianshan Mountains, although the depths of the Qinling Mountains are still blank, but the periphery is clear, and several mountain trails are clearly marked on it, which can go straight to the belly of the mountain. This so-called trail is not a mountain road in the traditional sense, but a road that can be crossed over mountains and mountains on foot, and there are no cliffs, cliffs, mountain pools, dead roads, etc., although it is still difficult, but it can be passed.

The source of the map,It should be the demon hunters and hunters who crossed the mountains and mountains,This map made the six ugly change their plans to climb the mountain along the original road,He observed carefully,And then with his memory in the mountains,Choose the most dangerous route,This route is extremely difficult for people,And it will pass through the territory of several demon beasts,But for monsters,It's nothing。

What's more, most of the route is adjacent to a mountain stream and has plenty of water.

The six chou began to follow the mountain road back, without Guanlan and others to accompany him, the six chou summoned the golden eyes from the territory of the pot, all the way to the mountain, only half a day, and then went deep into the Qinling Mountains.

In the second half of the night, Liuchou began to enter the depths of the mountains, or because of the water source, there were obviously many more insects, mosquitoes and flies along the way, and Liuchou also occasionally saw the white bones of the victims, gnawed by wild beasts, buried under the dead vines and fallen leaves, and disappeared forever in the call of family expectation.

The number of demon hunters and hunters who die in the Qinling Mountains every year is thousands, most of them can only hunt some ordinary beasts, dig some herbs, and only a few can profit from the game with demon beasts, and then be praised by others, although everyone knows that life and death are too arbitrary, but forced to make a living, but they can only carry their hearts, hang their courage, tremble and go back and forth, waiting for the arrival of impermanence.

The people who entered the Qinling Mountains were not because of greed, although when it came to this matter, the world took greed and death as their verdict, but only those who really lived in it knew that the purpose of their entry here was only to make a living, just to survive, but they didn't know when they became greedy and deserved.

The world's demands on it are the same as those for the demon clan.

After a day's rest, the six ugly went inward again, and arrived at the first demon beast community marked on the map, which was a poisonous scorpion monster in a low-lying valley, and the six ugly found traces of the scorpion beast fight far away from the gathering point, where some kind of battle had broken out, and the remaining bones were not humans or beasts, but poisonous scorpions.

Being exterminated near his lair shows the strength of the attacker.

Seeing this, the six ugly were suddenly awe-inspiring, which means that the demon army has arrived here, he reined in his breath, and quietly listened for a moment, until he confirmed that there was no life around, and then re-chose the route between the trees, and began to move closer to the scorpion's lair.

Soon, the six ugly came to the vicinity of the valley, and before he could find a place to observe, he suddenly had something strange in his heart, and without thinking, the six ugly put himself close to the dense canopy, not moving at all, and completely integrated his figure with the big tree.

The originally calm fallen leaves began to turn, and then, several huge poisonous scorpions turned up from under the fallen leaves, and on the backs of these poisonous scorpions, there were small demons riding one by one, they quickly searched the surroundings, although they did not hear the sound or smell the breath, but the intuition of the demon clan made them feel that they should come out to look for it, probe and patrol.

The strength of these little demons is not high, and they are generally only three or four orders, but they are wearing simple leather armor and holding blades in their hands.

The little demon and the poisonous scorpion did not find the six ugly, after two turns, they hid again under the thick fallen leaves, and the six ugly did not move, and continued to wait, until the fallen leaves were completely calm, then they moved lightly again, continued to crawl from the canopy in turn, and continued to approach.

It wasn't until they climbed the trees at the edge of the valley that the six ugly began to look out into the valley.

Then, he saw countless demon figures.

The poisonous scorpion monsters that originally lived in the valley are now cowering like rats, honestly huddled on one side of the valley, and in most of the open spaces in the valley, there are countless monsters lying on their backs to the sky, snoring and sleeping. There was a little demon by the stream next to him who was slaughtering wild beasts, chopping their flesh and bones into pieces of meat of different sizes and piling them on the ground, while the little demon next to him grabbed handfuls of yellow-brown powder from his belt, threw them indiscriminately, and scattered them on it.

It's salt.

Whether it is a human or a demon, it is necessary to supplement salt, and the real replenishment of salt before the battle is also an important habit of the demon clan, but the salt produced by the demon clan is extremely poor, and it is only used to collect the broken foam in the salt alkali, which is bitter and unbearable.

In the middle of the valley, there is an open clearing, even if those ordinary little demons dare not approach even if they are crowded, three camps have been set up here, there are obvious traces of human products, and there is silence inside, and I don't know that the monsters that the six uglies once encountered in the Black Fire City seem to live in it.

Most of the monsters have fallen asleep, and the little demons gathered here are of all kinds, including wolf demons, dog demons, tiger demons, leopard demons, and ordinary insect demons, only a few sentries are still awake, but they are also yawning, looking around boredly, fanning their noses, and smelling the bloody aroma coming from the stream.

Obviously, the rules of this demon clan army are extremely strict, and they can already be regarded as elite.

The six ugly didn't know why the demon clan who attacked the Black Fire City would go over the mountains and mountains, trek through the Qinling Mountains, and venture into the hinterland of the Great Zhou, Tu Zhu didn't say it, and he didn't ask, but he knew that this was definitely not a trivial matter, and what he had to do was to hold the thighs of the human race and survive this devastating disaster.

He didn't plan to test the existence in the camp, whether it was the white-clothed demon clan he met that day, or the two old men who appeared behind, the six uglies had no hope of winning, but since Inuqiu had a military order, he still planned to do something a little bit to facilitate the explanation.

Therefore, the plan of the six uglies is to find a suitable target to snipe among them, and with this merit in hand, no matter what they say when they go back, they will not be charged with disobeying military orders.

The Demon Clan is stationed here, which means that they are still gathering forces, or waiting, waiting for the Demon Clan army in another place to take position, and then attack at the same time at the agreed time.

This is the most commonly used trick now, an army is bright, an army is dark, two lines in parallel, when the bright line of the generation to attract a large army to encircle and suppress, the dark line just take the opportunity to achieve the goal, thousands of miles away.

There is a lot of talk about this in the course of the Ghost Valley, and the six ugly have the wisdom that has been refined for thousands of years in the later generations, and his ability to receive this far exceeds that of other demon clans, so he immediately came to this conclusion from various signs, and then put it into action.
