Chapter 401: The search was unsuccessful, and the action was too fast to lead to a crisis

The speed at which the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect searched for that mountain forest was faster than Sect Director Ning Yuan had imagined. This is not to say that the disciples are not searching carefully, on the contrary, the disciples can be said to have searched every corner of the entire mountain forest, after all, this is under the nose of the sect leader Ning Yuan, how dare there be the slightest slackness. How could the time taken by the disciples be faster than Sect Director Ning Yuan expected? Speaking of which, the reason is very simple, the disciples were not disturbed in any way during the search, that is, there was no sneak attack by the demon beast that Sect Leader Ning Yuan had guessed.

At the beginning, the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect were still cautiously vigilant while carefully searching. However, the disciples gradually discovered that there was not even a shadow of a demon beast in this mountain forest, which was a very abnormal situation, you must know that in the demon world where there are many demon beasts, how could there not even be a single demon beast in such a large area of mountains and forests?

Of course, in order to keep readers and friends from being confused, it is still necessary to say a few words here to explain the reason why there are no monsters in this mountain forest. Didn't the previous chapter talk about the encounter of three demon beasts that could turn into human form, when they found out that the cyclone appeared, they mistakenly thought it was a sign of the appearance of the mysterious crystal, so they led the summoned low-level demon beasts to quickly rush to the area where the cyclone was located, but instead of finding the mysterious crystal, they ended up dying and escaping. And this situation is not an isolated case, at the exit of each passage, a very similar situation has occurred, so the result of all the demon beasts escaping within a certain range near the exit of each passage. The mountain forest that Ning Yuan, the head of the Imperial Sword Sect, ordered all the disciples to search. It just so happens that it is still in such a range, and it is not surprising that there are no demon beasts.

"Sect Master, this is the crystal I found, I wonder if this is the kind of mysterious crystal?"

"Sect Master, the disciple has also gained something. Please confirm with the Sect Master. ”

"Sect Master, the disciple found a few fossils formed by the corpses of demon beasts, I don't know if they are crystals?"

……

Not to mention, after the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect searched the mountain forest designated by the sect director Ning Yuan, they did not all return empty-handed, and a small number of the disciples still found some items. Although these items appear to be varied and come in all shapes, they all have one characteristic. That is, they are all similar to crystals. Since all the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect had kept in mind what Sect Leader Ning Yuan had said that whether it was a crystal or an item similar to a crystal, once it was found, it would have to be identified by him, so as soon as the disciples who had found the item similar to the crystal returned to Sect Leader Ning Yuan, they surrounded him, eager to know if the item in their hands was that kind of mysterious crystal.

Of course, the result was very disappointing to these disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect. Sect Director Ning Yuan didn't even look at the crystal-like items that the disciples held in their hands and held them high above their heads waiting for him to identify, and said directly and lightly: "Among the items you found. None of them can exude the aura of that mysterious crystal, and it seems that we need to search for it again in another place. However, the items you find still have a certain value, and in line with the principle that whoever finds it belongs to whoever owns it, you can just put it away from each other. If it is useful, you can use it yourself, and if you don't use it, you can exchange it for other items when you return to the sect. ”

Sect Director Ning Yuan didn't care about this result at all, because he knew that there was no special chance. Searching for mysterious crystals in such a large area of the demon world is even more difficult than looking for a needle in a haystack, and it is difficult to find mysterious crystals, that is, godheads, just by sending disciples to search in a large area. However, it can't be done if you don't search for it, after all, the mysterious crystal will not pop out on its own, and even if you encounter a chance, you will still miss the mysterious crystal if you don't put in the effort.

And those disciples felt a little relieved in addition to being disappointed. Although the items found are not needed by the sect master, their value is stored, and the sect master lets them keep them for their own use, this is the harvest. As a result, the disciples who had already found the items quickly became happy, and those who did not find the items this time also began to be full of hope.

"Sect Master, quickly take the disciples to look elsewhere!" As soon as the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect were in a good mood, they began to get anxious. You must know that there will be countless sects in the fairy world and the ghost world entering the demon world this time, if you don't take advantage of the advantage of entering the demon world first, search for more places, and wait until all the sects in the fairy world and the ghost world enter the demon world, even if the demon world is extensive, there are not many places left that have not been searched, in that case, they won't even have the opportunity to get personal items.

"Well, as long as you don't feel tired, we'll go and search somewhere else! But one thing, if you get tired, you have to stop immediately and wait until you're well enough to search. Sect Director Ning Yuan said such a thing, in fact, he didn't mean to feel sorry for the disciples, if he really wanted to say it, in order to be able to search for the mysterious crystals, he even wanted the disciples not to stop for a moment. Then why did he say this? This is actually to consider it holistically, first, the disciples have good energy, so they can search more carefully; second, if they find the mysterious crystal, they must ensure that the disciples still have enough energy to fight to prevent other sects from snatching it; third, when they can't search for it, if they get the news of the mysterious crystal, they can quickly go and grab it.

"Let's go, let's go search elsewhere!" "Where did the disciples know the thoughts of the sect leader Ning Yuan, and seeing that the sect master agreed, they immediately burst into cheers, and flew towards the next place where no other sect had searched.

Three days later, this kind of search that was a happy operation for the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect finally came to an end, because, as they continued to advance, they encountered the Immortal Realm Sect that had entered the Demon Realm from other passages. There is no point in moving on, only to change direction. However, this change of direction has quietly ushered in the crisis.

As mentioned earlier, many demon beasts in the demon world died under the fierce attack of the first batch of immortals and ghosts that came out of various passages, but many more demon beasts actually escaped. And these demon beasts that escaped, in the process of escaping, gradually gathered together, as the team grew, plus they also figured out the reason for the death of other demon beasts in the place where those cyclones appeared, these demon beasts were no longer afraid. But at the same time, all the demon beasts were extremely angry, because the mysterious crystal originally appeared in the demon world, and from the thoughts of the demon beasts, it was directly believed that the immortals in the fairy world and the ghosts in the ghost world were here to rob them. How can that work? Only a thousand mysterious crystals are not enough for demon beasts, how can they allow the immortals of the fairy realm and the ghosts of the ghost realm to stick sideways. So, the demon beasts first reached a consensus, the top priority must be to drive away all the immortals and ghosts who have entered the demon world, only in that way, the interests of the demon world will not be lost, as for which demon beasts will eventually get the mysterious crystal, just wait until the immortals and ghosts are killed or driven out of the demon world, and then each with their ability and opportunity to obtain it.

In fact, the demon beasts also know that there are many immortals and ghosts who have entered the demon world, and it is not easy to drive them out of the demon world. Therefore, the demon beasts did not act rashly, under the command of some demon beasts with higher intelligence, after three days of secret observation, the demon beasts knew that whether it was the immortals of the fairy world or the ghosts of the ghost world, they all acted alone in various sects, and even some sects attacked each other because of the competition for the place to search. Knowing this situation, those demon beasts with higher intelligence formulated a strategy to break them one by one, first aiming their attacks at those sects that had broken away from most of the sects and moving quickly, laying a net and waiting for the target to enter their encirclement. Ning Yuan, the head of the Imperial Sword Sect, and the disciples he led were the first candidates to be identified as targets by the demon beasts. (To be continued......)
