The moonlight was dimming and the mist became heavier, adding a bit of strange atmosphere to the forest. Lordae and his group were cautious and didn't want to cause trouble on the way to the Monster Mountains, but fate seemed to always like to joke.
Suddenly, a messy sound of footsteps came from a distance, and a group of people were approaching quickly in their direction. Luo Dan's heart tightened and he whispered to his companions, "Be careful, don't make a sound easily." Everyone nodded and looked ahead with a vigilant look.
But things went against my wishes, and the more than a hundred people walked straight towards them, revealing bad intentions in their eyes. The person in the head was tall and strong, with a playful smile on his face, and walked to Luodan and the others, and asked at the top of his voice: "Who are you, where are you trying to go?" The voice was particularly abrupt in the quiet forest.
Lodan and others looked at each other without answering. They know very well that sometimes silence is the best way to deal with it, and saying more is useless and may cause unnecessary trouble. However, the group of people did not give up, but instead became more and more serious. More than a hundred people quickly surrounded him in a semicircular shape, trapping Lordan and his group in the middle.
The anger in Buckyun's heart suddenly popped up. These people were really bullying others! A small group of super-level people dared to be so presumptuous. Do you really think they are easy to bully? He clenched his fists tightly, his joints turned white due to the force, and his feet were slightly exerted, ready to take action at any time and give these people a little color.
Just as Buckyun was about to rush out, a hand was firmly placed on his shoulder. Buckyun turned around and saw that it was Luodan. Lordae shook his head slightly, his eyes showing calmness and calmness, and he signaled him not to be impulsive. Although Buckyun was unwilling to accept it, he suppressed his anger and glared at the people around him fiercely.
At this time, the atmosphere around was tense, as if a string that was extremely tight would break completely if it was not careful. The fog lingered around everyone, and the moonlight was blocked layer by layer, leaving only a dimness, making people unable to see each other's expressions clearly, but they could clearly feel the tension and hostility in the air.
Under the moonlight, the head man smiled all over his face, but his eyes were flashing with a cunning light. He took a step forward and said in a loud voice: "To be honest, we are going to search for the Dragon Mountains, which is the Monsters Mountains. I believe you have heard that the two holy thrones have died, and there may be great opportunities there! I think everyone has the same goal, so why not walk with you? If you encounter danger in the middle of the journey, how can we protect you all!" He said, while scanning Luodan and others, his pretending tone was full of plots.
In fact, the little abacus in this person's heart was crackling. Recently, the monsters in the Monster Mountains have gone wild inexplicably, and many sects have suffered heavy losses. Although they have about one hundred people, they are still worried in the face of unknown dangers. So, they wanted to pull a few "substitutes" and walk in front as a shield. If something really happened, they would also apply oil to the soles of their feet and quickly escape.
Lodan listened quietly, his mouth slightly raised, showing an undetectable sneer. In his eyes, the other party's little thoughts seemed transparent, and they were all known to everyone. However, when Lordae's mind changed, he felt that this was a rare opportunity. These hundred people are like natural barriers, which can perfectly cover the true identities of several of them. With so many people walking along the way, even if someone wants to track down, it is difficult to find their traces in this vast sea of people, and it will not arouse others' suspicion.
After making up his mind, Lordae immediately changed into a cowardly expression, his shoulders trembled slightly, as if he was scared by the other party's words. He stuttered and said, "This... can this work? We are not as strong as you, so we are afraid that we will drag everyone down." While speaking, he secretly observed the reaction of the person in charge.
The person in charge was secretly happy to see this, thinking that Luodan and others had taken the bait. He quickly patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, as long as you follow us, you will be safe!" His voice became louder, as if he had really regarded Luodan and others as his followers, and his command was a bit domineering.
Lodan endured the disdain in his heart and looked at Buck Yun and others. The few of them understood it, nodded slightly, and agreed with a pretended gratitude. In this way, the two teams who were originally on guard against each other temporarily reached a "cooperation" due to their respective plans. The fog in the mountains became heavier and gradually enveloped everyone's figures. A team slowly headed towards the direction of the Monster Mountains in this hazy night. No one knew what kind of crisis and opportunity was waiting for them in front.
The person in the leader saw that Luo Dan and others agreed so readily, a hint of undetectable pride flashed in his eyes, but his face was filled with a hypocritical smile. He waved his hand and said with a pretentious concern: "It's great, very good! I heard that the road behind is not peaceful and there are many dangers. You guys are walking in the front. If you encounter someone chasing you, you can detect it in advance. Isn't it safe?" As he said that, he also patted Luo Dan's shoulder hypocritically.
Lodan sneered in his heart, but his face remained silent and nodded slightly, "thank you, thank you." Then he took his companions and walked silently to the front of the team. In the night, the mountains and forests were a little strangely quiet, with only the rustling sound of people stepping on the fallen leaves.
Shangguan Butcher walking beside Luodan, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and his heart was full of dissatisfaction. He has always been used to being alone and hates cooperating with others the most, let alone being used by others. These people's little thoughts are simply obvious, why did Luodan easily agree? In his opinion, it would be better to just take action and erase all of these 100 people to save the trouble later. With more people, once they encounter danger, they will easily drag each other down, and it will be difficult to get out of here.
Shangguan Butcher leaned close to Luodan, lowered his voice, and his tone was full of displeasure: "Lodan, these people obviously want to use us as shields, why did you agree? In my opinion, let's do it directly and solve them all, so as not to be too long-winded." A trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and his hands unconsciously clenched the weapon at his waist.
Lodan turned his head and looked at Shangguan Butcher, with comfort in his eyes, and said softly: "Don't worry, although they are ill-hearted, they are also valuable to us. With them, our identities can be better hidden. Moreover, if you start to act now, if you alarm others and expose your whereabouts, it will be more worth the gain."
Shangguan Butcher was still a little unwilling to hear that, but he also understood that Luodan's words made sense. He could only grit his teeth, suppress the anger in his heart, and said in a muffled voice: "I hope your method is useful. If something goes wrong, don't blame me for being rude."
At this time, the team continued to move forward, and the trees around him were shadows in the night, like monsters with fangs and claws, making people feel furious. And the more than a hundred people were following behind Luo Dan and others slowly, with malicious smiles on their faces, as if they were waiting for something... Shangguan Butcher was full of confusion, his brows frowned into a bump. Just as he was about to refute, Luo Dan noticed it first, smiled playfully, winked at Shangguan Butcher and Buck Yun beside him, and signaled them to get closer. The sound of insects around him was heard one after another, as if accompanying the tense atmosphere. Lordae lowered his voice and slowly explained, "I'm not afraid, it's still unknown who is the shield."
He narrowed his eyes slightly, a cunning light flashed in his eyes, and continued, "Anyway, we are going to enter the mountains. As for the identities of us, it is too easy for others to doubt others." Lordae paused and swept his eyes to the more than one hundred people behind him. They were talking in a low voice in groups of three or three, and occasionally giving malicious eyes.
"But look at these people, they are disciples of a certain sect at first glance." Luodan nodded, "With them here, it will be much easier for us to enter the mountains. They thought we were shields, but they didn't know that we could also use their identities to protect ourselves."
Shangguan Butcher nodded as if he understood, his frown slightly, and a hint of praise appeared in his eyes. "So that's the case," Buckyun said softly, "Lordan, you're better considerate."
Lordan waved his hand, and still had a playful smile on his face. "This is just a temporary solution. When you enter the mountains, we will find another opportunity to get rid of them. Now, let them be proud first."
As the few people were talking, the road ahead became narrower and the trees on both sides became denser, and the night seemed to be a little deeper. The person in charge suddenly increased his voice and shouted, "Everyone can speed up, don't be too slow!" Lord Dan and others looked at each other, silently speeded up their pace, and continued to move towards the unknown mountain of monsters. A thrilling adventure seemed to be quietly kicking off...
The moonlight flashed among the mottled tree shadows, and Lord Dan's eyes were a little deep in the dark. Deep inside him, Shangguan Bowen's condition has always been an unsolved mystery. He is not sure whether Shangguan Bowen is really arrested, so the hiding of his identity is crucial. If it is exposed rashly, once you enter the mountains and find that it is just false news, the three outsiders will fall into a desperate situation, and it is not easy to get out of it without being able to escape.
Lodan frowned slightly and said to Buckyun and Shangguan Butcher beside him: "Our current identity must not be exposed. This is the top priority." His voice was low, but with unquestionable firmness.
Bakyun nodded with a calm expression, "Let's take one step at a time." His tone showed a kind of open-mindedness. In his opinion, with more than a hundred people as a cover, they could completely hide it quietly. Moreover, in the long run, they can be used to provoke battles between several forces at the right time. This may have twice the result with half the effort for the plan to rescue Shangguan Bowen. Thinking of this, a trace of imperceptible light flashed in Buckyun's eyes.
"Let's follow them first and find out the situation in the mountains." Buckyun whispered, "The sects behind these people should have some foundation in this area, and their actions may provide us with many useful clues."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Shangguan Butcher was still a little depressed, but after hearing the two of them, he reluctantly accepted the situation. "Hmph, let's see what these guys can make first." He muttered, touching the weapon on his waist unconsciously, as if he was ready to deal with an emergency at any time.
At this time, the team was still moving forward in the darkness, and the surrounding mountains were quiet and a little depressing. Occasionally, a few low roars from unknown beasts came, adding a bit of tension. The conversation of more than one hundred people was faintly behind them. They seemed to be discussing their plans after entering the mountains, completely unaware that Lordae and others were thinking about their own plans. The two of Luodan walked quietly in front of the team. The night covered their expressions, but could not hide the vigilance and determination in their eyes. A complex game was slowly unfolding with their pace.
Under the dim sky, the group dragged a slightly tired pace for another thirty miles. As we got closer and closer to the Monster Mountains, there was a mysterious and dangerous aura in the air, as if pairs of eyes hiding in the dark were peeking at them.
Finally, they arrived near the Monster Mountains. However, the scene in front of everyone was stunned. Hundreds of people pulled up layers of guardrails on the necessary road, forming a solid line of defense, and anyone who wanted to get close to the mountains was ruthlessly blocked. Obviously, there seems to be a major discovery in the mountains. Those forces that have entered early are now guarding their guards and will never allow others to come and compete for resources.
Seeing this scene, the leader of the 100-person team darkened, and the anger in his heart instantly ignited. He tidied up his clothes, walked out with a meteoric stride, with an unquestionable majesty on his face, and said righteously: "Do you know who we are? We are disciples of Shangguan Sect! The young man who knows the secrets of the mountains is the young master of our sect! Our sect has made such a great contribution to this discovery, but now we can't go in and find out what happened? If you dare to stop us, when our sect knows this, you will definitely send someone to take you away. Don't blame us for being polite at that time!" His voice echoed in the empty field, with a bit of threat.
After hearing this, the people in charge of the guards showed a hint of hesitation on their faces. They exchanged glances with each other, as if weighing something. But soon, one of the middle-aged men who looked like the leader stood up. He was tall and burly, with arms around his chest, and a hint of disdain in his eyes: "Hmph, what Shangguan Sect, we don't care about these. The superior has orders, and no one is allowed to enter except for the forces that have already entered. If you have any objections, go to the superior to reason and don't act like we are here!" His tone was tough, without any room for negotiation.
For a moment, the atmosphere became tense. Both sides were tense, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder. Lordae and others stood in the team and watched all this quietly. (This chapter ends)
