Just when a group of Qi Refining Realm monks in blood-patterned black robes deep in the jungle mountains were preparing to set out according to the requirements of the two old men, Li Changyue and his party arrived at the edge of a huge canyon. The huge canyon section was like an inverted sky.

, most of the canyon slopes are not very steep, but the valley bottom is completely covered with vegetation, and is nearly a thousand feet deep. The light is quite dim, and it looks like a huge ferocious beast from a distance, stretching to the distant moon.

mountains.

"Deacon Luo, this huge canyon is different from the places we passed before. There was a strange thing here a year ago, and I have never been in it." Li Changyue looked around at the huge canyon, and then turned to Luo

The deacon said with a hesitant face. To be honest, Li Changyue did not intend to go in and take risks. He had been to this place once before. With his keen mental power, he felt the danger from a distance and evacuated.

"This canyon is indeed a truly forbidden area. It is also marked on the map. Don't tell me, I have only explored the edge once."

As he spoke, he took out the map from before and let everyone take a look at it. The yellow mark on this place meant that it was a third-level forbidden area.

"Judging from the previous encounters with second-level monsters, many of them may have escaped from here. There are several traces of activity nearby." Lieutenant Luo on the side also reminded him, "These monsters seem to have been affected by

He was excited and seemed to be afraid of something."

Deacon Du also looked fearful and said: "We have already reached a place not far from our destination. Is there no need to go down any further? It must be very dangerous down there and we can't handle it."

"Yes, I think so too. Since everyone thinks this place is too dangerous, why not go directly to the location requested by Elder Murong and wait for the rendezvous!"

At this time, the disheveled Deacon Zhao Shen's face twitched a little. When he saw everyone saying this, he turned his eyes and immediately followed the suggestion to leave here temporarily.

Li Changyue also understood everyone's reaction: Don't look at the second-level or even two third-level monsters that he had dealt with before. It was because these monsters were not densely packed, and they were relatively ordinary in terms of strength. In this third-level forbidden area,

But it's not that simple.

"It makes sense. I don't think we can go any further. Once we encounter a huge unknown danger, we will not only suffer casualties, but it will also delay our mission. We can just take a look around." Deacon Luo shouted.

He sighed, waved his hand, and made a decision.

Such a decision was also expected by Li Changyue. After all, as a person who has entered the world of spiritual practice, who doesn't want to live longer, explore the way to longevity, and live a free and comfortable life? No one will really go all out.

But when everyone nodded in agreement when they heard Deacon Luo's decision, Li Changyue keenly noticed a look of relief and joy in Zhao Shen's eyes, which made him very surprised: because he suddenly thought of why Zhao Shen felt familiar to him.

Because this guy's figure and look looked a bit like the Qi Refining Realm monk with a fierce face from the Blood River Sect who attacked Deacon Chen and his party that day. At that time, Li Changyue used a surprise attack to kill this guy and took the monk's treasure!

In addition, Li Changyue discovered that there was also this familiar figure in his recovered memory when he was eight years old. At that time, in the fire, the deacon of the Li family and a group of disciples desperately resisted the little leader of many masked men in black robes.

There seemed to be this figure among them. Although Li Changyue's father did not die in the hands of this man, his father and a group of Li family disciples also died because of the power behind this man.

Regarding the accident involving the Li family, Li Changyue only remembered that the strong men of the Li family came to support him, and there were violent fluctuations of vitality in the sky. He passed out in a brilliant light, leaving the chaotic sound of fighting in his ears.

Afterwards, after Li Changyue woke up, he already had the consciousness of the original world. That year, Li Changyue in the original world happened to be seriously ill. But now it seems that at that time, Li Changyue in the two worlds had invisibly merged his thoughts and consciousness, but Li Changyue was in it.

Not aware of it.

"It seems that the Blood River Sect has a big plan for the entire Huoyang, and this Luo Feng is just a prelude!" Li Changyue speculated in his mind, "And this Zhao Shen is definitely a traitor. We need to find an opportunity to get rid of him or

Notify the Chief of Staff!"

After Li Changyue initially determined Zhao Shen's identity, he immediately put him on the "death blacklist", but he did not act rashly for the time being. With so many people here, he was not sure who he could trust, and he would also meet with the monks from the Guard Division later.

It is not appropriate to take action at the moment.

One day later, Li Changyue followed Deacon Luo and his team to patrol most of the surrounding areas, and decided to meet at the predetermined location. I don’t know if it was everyone’s misunderstanding, but they felt that the area around the canyon seemed to have too dense aura. In just one day,

We encountered monsters more than ten times over a period of time, and two of them turned out to be level three monsters, which made everyone a little worried.

"Deacon Luo, how far are we from the scheduled location?" Deacon Du asked from the side, as if he didn't know the exact way to meet up. "The task is basically completed now. I think we should rush there as soon as possible."

"Yes, Deacon Luo, can you tell us what to do next?" Zhao Shen on the side also rolled his eyes and asked Deacon Luo.

Lieutenant Luo and others seemed to be unaware of the inside story, but they did not come forward to ask about it, which surprised Li Changyue: It seems that the Guarding Department does not believe everyone here. This mission is somewhat intriguing.

"Haha, you don't have to worry, just follow the instructions. The superiors will naturally tell us the next plan when the time comes." Deacon Luo looked at everyone and chuckled, "Well, there are still more than a hundred miles to go, so we can get over the front.

A mountain ridge should be arriving soon!"

Deacon Luo and the people behind him stood on a high ground, then pointed to a smoky, steep and dangerous mountain range in the distance and said calmly.

"It's still so far away!" "Didn't it say more than five hundred miles at the beginning? If we look at the current location, it's almost seven hundred miles away. Is that correct?"

Deacon Du's eyes twitched when he saw the distant mountains, obviously he didn't expect it.

"This is a bit too in-depth. Deacon Luo, are you not mistaken? Our usual patrols do not go beyond the area of ​​​​five hundred miles!" "After five hundred miles, there are fourth-level monsters. Only those above the late stage of Qi training, elders

Only those who know how to do it will lead the team there!”

Zhao Shen looked reluctant, his eyes flashed with anger, and he was very resistant to Deacon Luo's sudden request.

"Why didn't the garrison department tell us in advance that this place is too dangerous? I object to us going in so recklessly!" Zhao Shen said directly in opposition.

Some of the body-building warriors below heard the conversation of Deacon Luo and others in front, and they also discussed for a while below.

"It's too dangerous to go seven hundred miles away!"

"Yes, to be honest, this is my first time traveling more than 400 miles away."

"Aren't we going to die if we go there?"

…

"Okay, everyone, listen to what I have to say!" Deacon Luo glanced at everyone indifferently at this time.

"This mission is very important. It was personally assigned by the guard, and it is not just our team, but all the teams have the same request!" Deacon Luo explained, and then the true energy in his body condensed slightly, and the peak aura in the middle stage of Qi Refining was revealed.

Come, he suddenly ordered with a stern and firm tone, "I have made it very clear, everyone must implement it, otherwise they will face severe punishment from the Law Enforcement Hall!"

After speaking, he looked around at everyone, then looked at the cloudy weather, and ordered: "Let's find a place to rest first. Starting tomorrow, we only need to rush on our way, and don't worry about anything else."

After saying this, he turned to Li Changyue and smiled slightly: "Captain Li, your mission has been completed. Now you can join us to meet up, or you can return to Fenglin Village on your own." "What are you going to do?"

Li Changyue was a little surprised by Deacon Luo's words, but after thinking for a moment, he replied: "I'd better follow the team to carry out the mission. After all, I'm here already, so I can still do my part."

"Okay, Captain Li is indeed the leader of the younger generation in our Guarding Department. From now on, you will be a member of the team!" Deacon Luo praised Li Changyue quite appreciatively.

"I don't dare to take it. Deacon Luo is serious. Just give me any orders!" Li Changyue arched his hands and showed a little humility.

Everyone's expressions varied, but except for Captain Luo and a few body-building warriors, everyone else seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied: they really didn't want to go, and they really didn't understand whether Li Changyue was just a newborn calf and not afraid of tigers, or he was really stupid!

Lieutenant Luo looked calm. In fact, although he did not know the specific mission, he still knew some inside information: before setting off, he and several deacons and disciples of the Luo family were actually received by the elders from the family. The elder

The aura on his body seems to be there or not, and he is suspected to be a strong man in the Ning Gang realm. He listened to some recent briefings from Luo Feng, and Deacon Luo was among them at the time. As a descendant of the Luo family, it is natural to listen to Deacon Luo.

Seeing such a situation, Li Changyue became aware: "In this case, there should be some suspects in the Department of Defense. Deacon Du and Zhao Shen are obviously not trusted!" "But this action obviously has a bigger reason.

The layout, there should be a showdown later, I have faintly felt peeping two or three times along the way, and it doesn't seem to be a group of forces!"

Thanks to Li Changyue's mental strength that was beyond the same level, he still discovered two or three spies. Although the surveillance was very secretive, he still discovered some clues due to his rich experience in outdoor exploration.

As for why we chose to go together, the reason is very simple. Since even the deacon of the Guarding Department is a spy, it is obvious that the way back may not be safe. According to the urine of the Blood River Sect, there must be a dangerous ambush on the way back.

Although Li Changyue said that he was quite strong at the peak of Qi refining, he would not be so arrogant as to face many monks from the Blood River Sect.

Instead of doing this, it is better to follow the team to carry out the mission. The Guard Department must have a back-up, which is safer, and in the end, he can make a lot of contributions! Especially when he saw Deacon Luo's "profiteer" expression, he didn't know how much was hidden.

Strength, but the power of Deacon Luo's random attacks before, the "cunning" Li Changyue discovered that most of the ten techniques Deacon Luo practiced were intermediate skills. He realized that his current strength was still too weak, and he was overestimating his ability to do it alone.

.

Thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, and heavy rain poured down. Fortunately, everyone was well-educated and wore rainproof cloaks. However, they were a little embarrassed by the rain, and their sight was blocked, so they were not safe in this jungle.

"There are several natural caves in that mountain. Let's rest there for the night!" Deacon Luo looked around and said to everyone.

"That's right, let's rest here for the night!" Deacon Luo ordered.

Everyone filed in, walked into one of the relatively open caves, and looked around.

"Why are there so many animal carcasses and the bones of several human warriors!" Deacon Du looked at them, his face a little ugly.

"Let's clean it up. There's no good place left for now."

Lieutenant Luo ordered his men to go forward and prepare to clean up the corpse.

"Wait a minute, there's something wrong with this corpse. There don't seem to be many wounds on the body, and there are no signs of fighting. It's weird!"

Deacon Luo suddenly waved his hand to everyone to stop them, and approached several corpses to check. The human warriors were wearing short robes of different colors, sitting or lying there, and weapons were scattered on the ground.

aside.

"None of these weapons have entered the advanced level. They should all be warriors in the forging stage." Li Changyue also walked cautiously around the cave with a radius of tens of feet, and then analyzed to everyone, "But these warriors don't seem to resist.

He died."

"They should have encountered an unknown attack. We must be more vigilant tonight and divide the duty into two shifts to be safer!" "That Deacon Du, Lieutenant Luo, and Captain Li, you will work in a group of three, and Deacon Zhao will work in a group with me.

Shifts change every two hours." "The rest of the team members are allocated on their own and remain vigilant at all times."

When Li Changyue saw that Deacon Luo's allocation seemed reasonable, he also guessed in his heart that he probably didn't trust Zhao Shen, but he kept a calm expression on his face. They were on duty at the first post: they walked to an open space and sat down cross-legged.

He simply practiced the "Purple Mysterious Jue". There was no better technique for the time being, so he decided to practice the "Purple Mysterious Jue" first. If possible, he could try to perfect the technique as before.

"You guys should take a rest, we'll take care of you next."

Deacon Luo got up from his trance and walked in front of Li Changyue and the others. For monks in the Qi refining realm, it would be fine if they did not rest for a day or two, but this would affect their physical condition, so they still had to maintain sufficient energy and spirit, especially

It was during this dangerous mission.

More than two hours passed, and in the second half of the night, when Li Changyue and others were meditating and falling asleep, the temperature in the cave seemed to have suddenly dropped a lot. A trace of cold air extended from all sides, but it was undetectable. Everyone was stunned.

It is a state above the peak of the late stage of physical training, and it does not feel any difference to a little coldness.

However, Li Changyue moved his facial muscles slightly, and his eyes suddenly opened. Without the temperature change and a hint of coldness, he would not have made a fuss. However, since there was someone like Zhao Shen on duty this time, he was still uneasy, so he
To be continued...
