Volume 40 Surveillance
"Hurry up and talk about it in detail!" Ming Xuan's face also became solemn.
"I didn't dare to get too close because I was worried that there were masters in the cave, but I could still hear some voices inside, and those missing young men and women were indeed caught here, and I could faintly hear their cries and shouts, and I was afraid that there were far more than dozens of voices! Ou Zhiyang said with a frown.
"Sure enough, what is the situation of the Demon Sect?" Chen Yiling asked with concern.
"I'm a little far away, and I don't dare to use spiritual power to detect, I can't predict accurately, but I feel that there are a lot of people, but this is not the most important thing, more importantly, I have only been lurking at the entrance of the cave for half an hour, but I feel three different spiritual powers probing! If I didn't have a hidden magic weapon, I'm afraid that they would have discovered it a long time ago!" This is why Ou Zhiyang was so chic when he went, but he was so cautious when he came back.
"Three different spiritual powers, doesn't that mean that there are at least three spirit level masters!" Chen Yiling said in shock. This has greatly exceeded their estimates.
"It's so grim, I didn't expect it!" Ming Xuan paced back and forth, lost in thought.
"What should we do now, with the strength of the three of us, I'm afraid we can deal with it!" Chen Yiling said anxiously, the three of them are only the strength of the first order of the spirit people, the weakest of the spirit people, the spirit people in the stone cave will not be weaker than them, not to mention that there are many people who are not weaker.
"We can't know when the Demon Sect will start now, we must deal with it as much as possible, Brother Ou and I will stay here to observe the situation, Yi Ling, you should rush to inform your brother and the big army now, inform the situation here in detail, let him hurry over for reinforcements, and send disciples to Bingcheng to ask for help by the way, since the Demon Sect has come with so many big people, then let's stay together!" Ming Xuan said decisively, it seemed that he wanted to take all the remnants of the Demon Sect in the cave.
"Okay, I'll go now!" Chen Yiling didn't say a word, turned around and ran quickly.
"What about us?" said Ou Zhiyang solemnly.
"If you use spiritual power to probe, how far will the spirit person generally probe?" Ming Xuan suddenly asked, although he was also a spirit person, but the relevant experience was too little.
"Spiritual power exploration consumes spiritual power, unless it is an emergency, it is generally not too far, but it also has to be determined according to strength, according to my analysis of the strength of the three spiritual power explorations just now, it is estimated that the distance of their patrol is not far, about a mile square, and it is mainly for the foot of the mountain, there is no excessive attention to the cliffs, there are a lot of secret sentinels arranged at the foot of the mountain, and the spiritual power exploration is just an auxiliary, to prevent a master from approaching, it should not be so strict during the day." Ou Zhiyang said after careful analysis.
"That's okay, I remember that there is a protruding stone on the cliff, not far from the mouth of the cave, but it can well avoid the detection of the spirits and the sight of the Hello, where do we go to monitor them, if we really want to open the blood pool, the movement must be not small, we should be able to feel it. "The last time I visited the stone cave, Ming Xuan paid attention to it, and thought it was a good hiding place, but I didn't expect to use it this time, standing on the stone platform, the situation of the stone cave and the foot of the mountain can be seen at a glance.
"I've noticed it too, but I didn't think you would think of it with me. "Really get down to business, Ou Zhiyang no longer shouts that he is tired.
Although it has already been spring, the wind and snow are not so big, but in this empty mountain, the wind and snow are already cold, but the two people with spiritual power to protect the body are not worried at all, and take turns staring at the movement of the stone cave, not letting go of the slightest movement, until the dawn, and after the dawn, the dark whistle gradually withdrew to the cave, there are dozens of people, it seems that there are a lot of people inside.
"Mingcui Mountain is covered with snow everywhere, ordinary people will not set foot here, and I don't know how they brought so many ordinary people here quietly. Ou Zhiyang couldn't help but be curious.
"Actually, this is also very simple, the people in the cave should be very familiar with the road in the mountain, just follow the road into the mountain at night, the heavy snow has not been interrupted, and they can soon cover up their traces, and in the daytime, it looks like normal. "Ming Xuan has already thought about this question, and the place where the Demon Sect is active is the back of Mingcui Mountain, even in summer, no one will come, let alone such a cold time.
"If this is the case, then they should have caught people and came to the mountains, but with so many people, it shouldn't be so fast?" It is also nearly a hundred miles from the town to here, and it is very difficult to walk so far with dozens or even hundreds of people who are not proficient in martial arts.
"You said that there are far more than dozens of young men and women inside, but the people in the town say that they only lost twenty or thirty people, and the number is not right, which means that the people in the stone cave are not all captured from the town we passed by, and there are other places, so they should have come to Mingcui Mountain one after another, and according to your exploration, there are at least three spirits inside, I estimate that they came in three batches, and each batch captured some young men and women as sacrifices for the opening of the blood pool. Ming Xuan analyzed coldly.
"Well, your analysis is very reasonable, but this qiē is just speculation and must be verified. "No matter how reasonable speculation is, it is just speculation, and only after practice can we get true knowledge.
"Then how to verify it?" Ming Xuan asked suspiciously.
"Maybe you are better at reasoning than me, but if you verify the truth, then I will be better than you, isn't there the answer?" Ou Zhiyang smiled and pointed to the bottom of the mountain, and the three little Hello climbed down from the stone cave and walked towards the outside of the mountain, it seemed that they were going out of the mountain to do errands.
Mingxuan immediately understood, and quietly followed with Ou Zhiyang.
The three little ones were not very good at cultivation, so naturally they couldn't find their tracking, in fact, the rugged mountain roads and knee-high snow had already made them complain.
"Damn, it's really bad luck for this kind of ghost weather to ask us to go out to buy food!" said one of the men, scolding.
"That's it! That's it! The blood pool was dug out by us one stone by stone! It was already a great achievement! I didn't expect the altar master to come and say nothing, and he still called us around! It's really chilling!" one of the fat men said angrily.
Coincidentally, these three people were the three people who Ming Xuan had heard the conversation in the stone cave before, and the blood pool was built by them, because they were most familiar with the terrain here, so all kinds of errands also fell on them.
"Don't shout! Be careful to be heard by the altar owner, you will feel good when the time comes!" said the man in the lead impatiently, obviously having fire in his heart.
Thinking of the altar master's methods, the other two shuddered and quickly silenced,
"This blood pool is in charge of our sub-altar, and the other two sub-altars are invited guests, why can't you ask others to do things, and among our sub-altars, we are most familiar with the surrounding situation, who don't send us?"
"Originally, we had prepared a lot of food, enough for the brothers in our altar to celebrate, but who knew that two more altars came, alas, what a hard life!"
"Don't be verbose! hurry up, this is still far from the town, we must try to prepare the main things of the altar before dark, if we delay tomorrow's festival, we will not be able to eat and walk!" said the man at the head impatiently.
The other two didn't dare to say anything more when they heard this, so they hurried away, but left Ming Xuan and Ou Zhiyang, who looked at each other.
"Did I hear me right! they're going to have a festival tomorrow?" Ou Zhiyang didn't believe his ears.
"It's indeed tomorrow, it's really a bit tight!I wonder if Brother Chen, they can arrive in time?" Ming Xuan was a little worried.
"There's still so little information that we have to try to trick them up. Ou Zhiyang said as he wanted to rush forward.
"What do you want to do, don't startle the snake!" Ming Xuan hurriedly grabbed him, if he went to ask them now, although he would get a lot of useful information, he would definitely alarm the people in the stone cave, and he was afraid that he would fall short when the time came.
"Do you think I'm the kind of reckless person, follow me and you'll know!" Ou Zhiyang smiled weirdly and followed.
"Alas, the three big brothers are waiting for us!" Before he got closer, Ou Zhiyang shouted, which scared Ming Xuan a lot, but now that it was exposed, he could only keep up with it and be ready to shoot at any time.
Hearing this, the three of them really stopped, looked at them with an unkind face, and even took out their weapons.
"What are you doing?" said the man at the head vigilantly.
"Our altar master is worried that there are too many things, and the three of you can't take them, so we are specially sent to assist you!" Ou Zhiyang said with a smile, and he had already prepared his words.
"I don't seem to have seen you two in the cave!" The boss was careful, although there were many people in the cave, he had some impression, but he had no impression of them at all.
"After entering the stone cave, the two of us have been busy with this and that, you naturally have no impression of us, this cold day, will there be outsiders in the mountains?" Ou Zhiyang is very set.
"That's the same, I'm sorry, two brothers, when this errand happens, their courage has become smaller!" The boss felt justified when he thought about it, and gradually let down his guard.
"What a big deal! It seems that the three eldest brothers have also worked a lot to build this blood pool!" Ou Zhiyang said with pretended emotion.
"It's all an errand within the division, no way!" complained about it, but he still had to pretend in front of outsiders, but listening to Ou Zhiyang talking about the blood pool, it seemed that he was indeed the brother of the branch altar, and his heart was completely settled.
"When I first came out, I heard that your altar master was praising you for your ability to do things, saying that after the deed is done, I will reward you well!" Seeing that they gradually let down their guard, knowing that their words had an effect, Ou Zhiyang continued to add fire.
"Is it? hahaha, the Lord of the Altar can afford it!" Hearing this, the three of them immediately became overjoyed, and they immediately became a lot closer to the two of them.
