"Sir, why don't you be the leader of your team in?" Wang Yiming couldn't help but suggest.

"No, I want to do this myself. You can continue to watch them clean up the town at Wanhekou, and you must not slackew. Especially those who suddenly develop illness must follow the process we have agreed on, but there will be no problem. Do you understand?"

"clear."

Shen Hao was puzzled. He was curious about the mystery of the encrypted map hidden by the Xu family, so he naturally had to go and see it with his own eyes. Moreover, going to the front line to explore and take charge of the command are two different things. Since he did it, he naturally had to do it perfectly.

Shen Hao personally led the team, including two local Xuanqing Guards, fifty soldiers from the Black Banner Camp in Fengricheng, fifty thousand-house personal guards and two doctors.

After getting off the official road, I walked for an hour before I saw the starting line on the map, a valley. The obvious feature is that the valley is crescent-shaped.

This place is actually not far from Xiushan Village, and it is only more than twenty miles away from the village.

"Remember to keep marks along the road so as not to get lost." Although there is a guide and guarantee that "you can come out with your eyes closed," Shen Hao still explained with confidence.

The soldiers of the Black Banner Camp in Fengricheng hurriedly said that many of them had been in the army and could still do some of the means of marching outside the field.

For example, peeling off the bark to engrave the words as a memorization.

It was quite stable along the way. So many people entered the mountain and even if the beasts in the mountain were not jumped out. Instinct would allow them to avoid disaster.

However, there is no road in the mountains, and the vegetation is dense, so the speed is very slow. Moreover, Shen Hao also divided the three teams in front, middle and back for safety, one team was in the front, one team was in the front, one team was in the front, and one team was in the center to schedule. This cautious approach naturally made the forward speed slower.

After walking for two hours, the sky began to darken.

"Sir, we should be here now." The guide pointed to a short section of a map printed in the rubbing and said to Shen Hao. He walked less than one-third of the path on the map this afternoon.

"Snap speed up tomorrow, but you should pay attention to it and don't relax. Go and rest."

Shen Hao doesn't need to worry about the warning matters. He has his own small tent and others sleep in the open.

The next day, I continued the mountain road, and the speed was faster than yesterday. In the afternoon, I reached the node where the spies were confused by the map.

"Walking forward is where the spies have not been to before. Maybe there will be some traps. Everyone should be alert and immediately warn if they find anything around them."

Because Shen Hao judged that the basket of ghost-headed pears in the Xu family were picked somewhere in front of it, and the ghost-headed pears did not grow in a good place, so they could not tell what dangers were hidden inside, and the source of the plague might be in front of it, so they dare not be careless.

Sure enough, after crossing the half-fold line on the map, the atmosphere on the mountain road became less normal. The originally lush and dense forest began to appear strangely shaped ghost trees, and the rocks on the ground were mostly sharp as if they were cut by a knife, and even the soil became dark. When you step on it, you would feel sticky and mud?

"hiss!"

"Swish!"

The sergeant who was opening the way in front swung his sword and cut off a black snake that suddenly shot from the grass. The snake's head was triangular and the poisonous fangs were long. If you bite it, it would probably have to peel off even if it didn't die.

"Kurosawa Viper. Is there such a snake here?"

When a doctor saw the snake corpse handed back by the spy in front, he was quite surprised when he saw it, because this black sieve viper is also an alchemy material, and its venom is a medicine introduction to a top-grade poison pill.

"This kind of snake is usually found in barbarian places, and it is rarely seen on the territory of the Jingji Dynasty. I didn't expect it to grow here."

"It's very strange here. The vibrant forest around it has now become yin energy dispersed, and the ghost trees are growing and the soil is dark like pulp. This area should not appear here. This is unreasonable..."

The monks who are a little more familiar with the methods of terrain will be confused by the regional situation in front of them. They are obviously a beautiful landscape with good mountains and rivers, but suddenly the wind changes rapidly, and they change from "good mountains and rivers" to "ghostly weird". There is no trace of excessive terrain in the middle, which is abrupt and weird.

Shen Hao once again raised his alert and told everyone that he had entered a high-risk area and that no movement should be taken lightly.

After walking for another half an hour, Shen Hao found that the yin energy here was getting heavier and heavier, and even the surrounding vegetation felt inexplicably oppressed, and he always felt that his eyes were staring at them.

"Stop moving forward! The front and rear teams spread for two miles to search, and if they encounter threats, they will be wiped out!" Shen Hao decided not to hurry in and see the situation. The changes in the terrain here made him very depressed.

No one thought Shen Hao was not cautious. They all felt similar to Shen Hao. Those who leaned against the outside of the team even pulled out their weapons to guard each other without anyone shouting.

Soon, the weirdness of this place opened Shen Hao's eyes again.

"Reported, I found three ghost-headed pears! They all had fruits!"

"I found a strange tree that could move, attacking us!"

"Reported, I found a strange beast..."

The search was scattered but there were warnings coming back in just two miles. Fortunately, the danger was not high, and a group of people could easily deal with it because they had too many people.

Shen Hao first went to see the three ghost-headed pears. They were five or six meters high, with lush branches and leaves. You could smell an attractive fruit fragrance when you got closer. Looking around, the golden fruits the size of fists among the leaves make people salivate.

"Sir, there are signs of climbing on this tree." A soldier came to report.

When Shen Hao heard this, he walked over and saw that there were indeed some obvious scratches on the trunk of a ghost-headed pear. It was not like the claws of a wild beast. It should have been caused by the shoe stepping on it. And you could see that some branches were also broken when you looked up.

What are the people from the Xu family picking ghost-headed pears here?

There is a map that shows that the Xu family knows the strangeness here. So when you come in, it should be that you are not mistakenly entering but purposeful. For these ghost-headed pears?

Shen Hao had asked the doctors who accompanied the team before that because there are very few Guitou Li in Jingxi, it is difficult to buy on the market and the price is very high. So will the Xu family come in for money?

"Be careful and keep moving forward."

Shen Hao frowned and gave the order to continue exploring. Looking at the map in his hand, they were only two-thirds of the entire journey. At the current speed, it is impossible to reach the red dot position marked on the map today.
