Chapter Forty-Nine: The Luo Chen Family
Although Feng Yan has gone out on missions many times, he has never had such a distant time, and after seeing that scene behind the scenes, his scalp is numb, not to mention Du Lingfei.
Fortunately, all the such powerful creatures encountered along the way did not launch any attack on them, at most they just glanced at them, as if they had some breath on them, which would not arouse the disgust of these creatures.
Bai Xiaochun guessed that it might be because they were disciples of the Lingxi Sect, and this ...... Within the boundless radius, after all, it was shrouded by the forces that belonged to the Lingxi Sect.
In this way, the three of them continued to move forward in this trembling, and every month they would send a message to the sect on a fixed day, until two months later, they finally came to the boundary of the Lingxi Sect's power, the Falling Star Mountain Range.
On the way, Feng Yan didn't want to make a secret move, but the various shocks along the way made him feel no mood here, and he was terrified all day long, plus Bai Xiaochun was quite cautious and always approached Du Lingfei, so he had too many scruples here and couldn't find a chance to start, so he always forbeared.
At this moment, when he arrived at the Falling Star Mountain Range, when Feng Yan looked at Bai Xiaochun, there was a gloomy flash in his eyes that was imperceptible to outsiders.
"It's hell-bent on killing me...... What a hatred. Bai Xiaochun was worried in his heart, he was as careful as a hair, squinted his little eyes, and knew Feng Yan's thoughts well.
The Falling Star Mountain Range is a mountainous land that stretches from north to south, and there is no end in sight, like a dragon and snake lying on its stomach, as if dividing the earth.
Even from a distance, it seems that the sky on the other side of the mountain range is not quite the same as here, and there is a faint color of blood.
Legend has it that many years ago, a star fell from the sky and crashed here, causing the ground to collapse, but part of it bulged high, which formed this mountain range.
The jungle is full of fierce beasts, but there are also all kinds of rare plants and trees, so that although this place is full of dangers, there will always be monks who venture in.
"This is the Falling Star Mountains. Du Lingfei spoke slowly, what she encountered along the way made her feel tired, and at this moment, she finally arrived at her destination, and she was relieved in her heart.
"The last time Senior Brother Hou contacted the sect, the mark was this area. Feng Yan patted the storage bag, and there was an extra compass-like magic weapon in his hand.
There was a needle on this magic weapon, and it was spinning rapidly.
"According to the rules of the sect, the disciples who go out must pass the direction to the sect every month, and this Lingxi plate allows us to find the location of the last time Senior Brother Hou passed out the direction. As he spoke, the compass pointer in his hand suddenly paused and pointed in one direction.
"Found it!" Feng Yan's body shook and went straight to the front, Du Lingfei also looked moved, and followed.
Bai Xiaochun looked at the Falling Star Mountain Range in front of him, where the grass and trees were forested, boundless like a sea of forests, and sometimes the sounds of birds and beasts came out, and even some fierce beasts could be heard roaring from the depths in the distance.
Bai Xiaochun's expression was solemn, and he stimulated the protective light of the jade pendant, ensuring that he would notice any disturbance as soon as possible, and then he walked forward cautiously and kept a certain distance from Feng Yan.
Feng Yan and Du Lingfei did not pause when they walked forward, galloping in this Falling Star Mountain Range, the speed was fast, and gradually went deep into a valley, there are many trees here, and these trees are many years old, criss-crossed, at first glance they look like pythons, there is a bulging knot every other section, if it is night, it will definitely be shocking.
An hour later, the three of them paused violently in the depths of this valley, Feng Yan looked down at the compass in his hand, and the pointer on it clearly pointed to a big tree that needed to be surrounded by ten people.
"Senior Brother Bai, you go check it out. Feng Yan looked at Bai Xiaochun and pointed to the big tree.
Bai Xiaochun hesitated for a moment, carefully looked at the big tree, and after making sure that it was okay, he pressed the jade pendant on his waist with his right hand, and suddenly the blue light that covered his whole body was a little thicker, and he even took out some rune paper and pasted it on his body, and then slowly approached the big tree in three steps.
"I'm so afraid of death, and I'm still here to practice!" Du Lingfei snorted coldly, she was already disgusted with Bai Xiaochun, although she had been thrilled many times along the way, but Bai Xiaochun's performance there seemed to be afraid of death to the extreme every time, and now that she arrived at her destination, it was still like this, making her more and more unpleasant.
Bai Xiaochun didn't have time to pay attention to Du Lingfei, cautiously approached the big tree, took out a flying sword, went to peel off the bark, saw an area that seemed to be newly grown, opened it, and found that there was a jade slip hidden inside.
After slowly taking out this jade slip, Bai Xiaochun's divine sense swept away, his face changed slightly, and he threw it to Feng Yan.
There is only one sentence in the jade slip that has no beginning and no end.
"I found out some other clues, and I want to go to the Luo Chen family to confirm ......"
After Feng Yan saw it, he frowned, and threw the jade pendant to Du Lingfei, after Du Lingfei read it, he frowned and groaned.
"Luo Chen Family ......" After a long time, Du Lingfei muttered and turned his head to look deeper into the Luoxing Mountain Range.
The Falling Star Mountain Range is very large and has a lot of resources, such a place belongs to the Lingxi Sect, and it is still at the junction with the Blood Creek Sect, the Lingxi Sect naturally arranges people to guard it, and the family that guards it is ...... The Luo Chen family.
There are many members of the Luochen family, who have been stationed in this Luoxing Mountain Range for thousands of years, and each generation has a foundation building ancestor, whether it is to deter or protect, it is enough.
Bai Xiaochun and the three of them even had an explanation in their mission, and if they were in danger, they could contact the Luo Chen family.
But at this moment, Hou Yunfei's jade slip actually pointed to the Luo Chen family, and it seemed to be ...... He disappeared when he went to the Chen family to confirm something.
"What do you think, should we go to this Luo Chen family to have a look?" Feng Yan glanced at Bai Xiaochun seemingly casually and looked at Du Lingfei.
"Senior Brother Feng, Senior Sister Du, find this jade slip, our task has been completed...... Safety is the priority, so why bother. Bai Xiaochun hurriedly spoke, looking around, which made him feel a little depressed.
Du Lingfei hesitated for a moment, if she went back like this, she pondered that the contribution points could only get the foundation, but if there were more clues investigated, then the contribution points would be more.
Feng Yan saw that Du Lingfei hesitated, his brows furrowed slightly, if he went back like this, he was worried that he would not find a chance to kill Bai Xiaochun, so he spoke calmly.
"My idea is to go to this Luochen family to take a look, since we are here, why can't we leave like this, ask what happened to Senior Brother Hou, and maybe we can also let the people of the Luochen family help search, in this way, we will get a lot more contribution points." ”
"Besides...... As long as we don't enter the depths of the Falling Star Mountain Range on this trip, just on the edge, there is no danger, as for the Falling Star Family, hmph, all the Xiuzhen families within the scope of my Lingxi Sect, they all have the mark of the Lingxi Sect in their bloodlines, and they can't betray them in their lives, how dare they be rude to us. Feng Yan spoke slowly, and looked at Du Lingfei after speaking.
Du Lingfei nodded, feeling that what Feng Yan said made sense.
"Okay, let's go to this Luochen family to have a look, maybe Senior Brother Hou disappeared unexpectedly after leaving the Luochen family. ”
Seeing that Du Lingfei agreed, Feng Yan smiled, and when he looked at Bai Xiaochun, a touch of cold flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"Now that the task has been completed, why bother to make extraneous branches?" Bai Xiaochun frowned.
"If you are afraid of death, don't follow it. Du Lingfei ignored Bai Xiaochun, turned around and went straight ahead.
"Senior Brother Bai, Feng is also responsible for the assessment of the task this time, the three of us advance and retreat together, if you don't go, it will be difficult for me to do it after returning to the sect. Feng Yan looked at Bai Xiaochun with a smile and walked forward, he concluded that Bai Xiaochun would definitely follow, otherwise, with Du Lingfei testifying, he would give him a dereliction of duty comment, and he would not be able to pass the law enforcement hall alone.
Bai Xiaochun's face was gloomy, the blood flow was faster, when he looked at Feng Yan's back, bloodshot gradually appeared in his eyes, although he was afraid of death, but he gradually understood that now only he was the main anti-guest, and it was the safest way to solve this Feng Yan first.
"Feng Yan, you forced me!" Bai Xiaochun stood there in silence for a few breaths, and finally bowed his head and rushed out, following behind Feng Yan and Du Lingfei, and the three of them gradually disappeared into the jungle.
Two hours later, under the non-stop rush of the three of them, it was already dusk, and as the sun set in the distance, the jungle slowly darkened.
"It's here!" Feng Yan suddenly spoke, and the three of them paused, and when they looked up, they all saw that in front of them, the trees were fading, and there were a lot of bluestones on the ground, spreading out into an area.
In this area, there are several courtyard houses, forming a small house, which looks like it can live hundreds of people, but at this moment it is still dusk, which should be the most lively time in a family, but this house is dark and silent, as if blending with the night, giving people a sense of desolation.
Only the two lanterns hanging in front of the gate emitted a dim light, and there was no wind around, but the two lanterns swayed gently, making the two stone lions erected in front of the door under the lanterns look gloomy and uncertain.
This scene made Feng Yan and Du Lingfei's expressions change.
As for Bai Xiaochun, the moment he saw this house, a sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart, as if every piece of flesh and blood in his body was screaming at him.
"Something is wrong...... Feng Yan also sighed in his heart, but he didn't finish his words yet.
Suddenly, with a creak, the door of the house slowly opened, and a yin wind blew out, and vaguely, there seemed to be a figure that appeared in the door silently.
