There is a dark valley in the south of Tianluo Sect, the wind gusts all year round, the air is cold, there is no sunlight all year round, most of the vegetation in the valley is cold-resistant, shade-tolerant and tide-loving, even birds and beasts do not like to stay, so most of the creatures that haunt the valley are snakes and rats. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Usually there are few people here, and occasionally the mortals who strayed here will always be sick and difficult to cure after they go back, and gradually this place is classified as a forbidden area of death, except for some monks who come here to collect special medicinal herbs, there is no trace.

But thirty years ago, this place suddenly collapsed, there was a bottomless hole in the valley, often ran out of some strange-looking, like to eat human flesh "blood devouring beasts", for the safety of the nearby people, Tianluo Sect every year sent a group of disciples to come here to garrison, strangled monsters to keep one side safe.

In order to prevent monsters from breaking out of the valley and causing trouble to the people, Tian Exiang, the master of the Tianluo Sect's Array Fu Hall, personally laid down a "Seven Star Trapped Dragon Array" here, and used the seven sub-star formations distributed around to form a large array, and each sub-array was assigned a special person to guard it to ensure that the "Seven Star Trapped Dragon Array" was not destroyed by monsters.

In addition to the seven great array protection masters, the Tianluo Sect also set up a blood killing team, which will send disciples here every year to complete the task of strangling monsters, and at the same time, it also gives the members of the previous blood killing team time to return to the sect to repair. But those who can stay here for a year and successfully return to the sect are often less than fifty percent, and the other fifty percent of the disciples have fallen or disappeared in the fight with monsters.

When Du Haishan led two hundred disciples to the Netherworld Valley, Hu Hongwen, the captain of the original Blood Killing Team, had already informed the disciples of the Guardian Formation to open the formation and led people to wait in line in the valley early.

Hu Hongwen is a man in his thirties, cultivating to the peak of the fifth layer of the foundation, with a deep and resolute personality, he didn't expect that the person who led the team to garrison this time was Du Haishan, the disciple of the sect master, haha smiled and stepped forward to take Du Haishan's hand and praised it again and again. I didn't think that I hadn't seen him for a year, I fought to the death, and my cultivation was only promoted from the early stage of the fifth layer of foundation building to the peak, but the other party had already been promoted from the sixth layer of foundation building to the eighth layer realm, and he was worthy of being the sect master's personal disciple, and his talent and cultivation speed were shocking.

With the two hundred disciples who came here with Du Haishan, seeing that the old disciples waiting in the valley were all tired and unthinking, and some of them were even disabled, everyone couldn't help but feel desolate in their hearts, and sighed, it was really not an easy task to be stationed here.

Hu Hongwen, the former captain, led Du Haishan and others to the camp in the valley to settle down, and then took Du Haishan to the captain's cave alone and explained the situation in the valley in detail.

According to Hu Hongwen, in recent years, there have been more and more powerful "blood-devouring beasts" in the cave than in previous years, and the situation seems to be very bad. In the records of the sect, the blood-devouring beasts that appeared here at the beginning were also at the level of the middle and late stages of condensation, and after thirty years of strangulation, not only did not decrease, but appeared more and more, and they became more and more powerful year by year, and recently even found a few blood-devouring beasts in the late stage of the Huayuan, and the casualties of the stationed disciples became even more miserable.

In previous years, the sect only sent a hundred disciples to garrison, but this year, it also knew that the situation was not good, so it sent two hundred disciples to come.

Hu Hongwen also told Du Haishan that there are thousands of forks in the cave in the valley, and some forks extend countless forks in the road, like an underground labyrinth, although after decades of exploration, the blood killing team has only collected and drawn a map within 10,000 zhang, and the deeper area is still very unfamiliar, so Hu Hongwen repeatedly told Du Haishan that the disciples who send disciples into the cave to strangle or patrol cannot go deep below 10,000 zhang, otherwise it is extremely dangerous, and even their lives are not guaranteed, and they must not go deep easily.

Du Haishan nodded cautiously in agreement, and then asked where these monsters came from? Hu Hongwen told him that in the depths of the cave, many portals would randomly appear every twelve hours, and these monsters would come out of the portals. The experience of the previous captains estimated that there may be a different dimension at the other end of the portal, and the blood-devouring beasts are the inhabitants of that space.

There have been several captains who have also sent a team to enter the other side through the portal to explore the secret, but all of them have gone and never returned, and there is no news, and no captain has dared to take this risk again, and the alien space has gradually become a forbidden place.

Hu Hongwen gave an explanation of all the things in the Netherworld Valley, and passed the map of the road inside the cave into Du Haishan's mind, so he returned to the camp in the valley to gather dozens of old disciples who were originally stationed there, and took the flying spirit weapon to report back to Tianluo Sect.

Du Haishan immediately summoned all the disciples to gather at the camp, and then displayed the map of the road inside the cave in the air with Yuan Li, so that everyone must remember it firmly. Then, according to the establishment of ten people in each team, they were divided into 20 teams, and each team selected a team leader.

These 20 squads are divided into patrol teams, assault teams, rescue teams, and garrison teams according to their different responsibilities.

Although Gao Feng is young, due to the combat power of the first person in the Huayuan period, no one dares to underestimate him, so he was arranged in the sixth assault team, the captain is an old man about sixty years old, tall and slender figure, always with a cold smile on his face, he is a disciple of the outer hall, named Zhen Xiaoren, a cultivator of the seventh layer of Huayuan.

The distribution group is randomly selected by everyone plus Du Haishan's assignment, but the selection of the team leader is voted by the team members together, although Gao Feng's cultivation power is the strongest in this group, but his age is too young, so the members unanimously elected the most senior Zhen Xiaoren.

Gao Feng doesn't care, being a squad leader has to worry a little more, how good it is to be a team member, just go into battle to kill monsters.

But this captain always gave him a cold feeling, and secretly raised his vigilance in his heart.

Gao Feng's divine sense was already at the level of the middle stage of the foundation building layer, and he had inadvertently found this Zhen Xiaoren always looking at him behind his back many times before, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Gao Feng was a little inexplicable at first, and then thought about it carefully, among the people in the outer hall who had a holiday with him, only Xu Cheng was the only one, this Zhen Xiaoren was also a disciple of the outer hall, if he had bad intentions towards himself, it would be for Xu Cheng.

Gao Feng, a disciple of the seventh layer of Huayuan, didn't take it seriously, but it was easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against hidden arrows, so it was always right to be careful.

In fact, Du Haishan once quietly sent a message to Gao Feng, wanting to arrange him in the garrison team, but he decisively refused, coming here to kill monsters is also a kind of cultivation, how can he easily give up the opportunity to kill monsters to be a goalkeeper?

The four disciples of Tianxuanmen were too arrogant, and everyone was reluctant to join them in a team, and in the end, Du Haishan came forward to assign a few disciples to form the tenth assault team, and Liao Changfeng was not allowed to become the captain.

After the squad was divided, the garrison team immediately began to assign guard duties and entered the state of duty, while the other teams returned to the camp to recuperate and recuperate, ready to set off for the mission at any time.

Du Haishan summoned twenty team leaders to his cave to discuss the arrangement of the mission, and at the same time distributed some elixirs and a special alarm weapon to each team leader.

This alarm magic weapon is inlaid with a map of the interior of the Netherworld Valley and the cave, and when it is worn on the body after activation, the magic weapon in the hands of each captain will immediately show the specific location of the other captains, just like a modern GPS locator, everyone can know the situation of other teams at any time.

If you encounter a crisis, you can inject a trace of vitality, and the corresponding position of the other captain's magic weapons will continue to flash with light points, and if the light point disappears, it means that the captain or this team has fallen.

Each captain carefully activated the alarm and put it on, discussed the details of the mission together, and soon began to act separately.

For the sake of prudence, Gao Feng put all the valuable magic weapons, pills, and spirit stones on his body into the realm fetus, and the Qiankun ring was only filled with some daily necessities, commonly used pills and a little spirit stone, and after a little breathing in the camp, he saw that the captain Zhen Xiaoren was back.

Zhen Xiaoren told everyone that the sixth team was about to go down to the cave to carry out the extermination mission, and they could only return to the camp to rest after three hours.

A group of ten people quickly got ready to go, and came to the huge cave together, the cave was as dark as an abyss, the yin wind was howling, and the cold wind was biting. Although they were all cultivators, everyone still felt a chill like ice.
