Chapter 142

Luo Jie sighed. "Yesterday, Li Ran said something. Do you remember it?"

Guo Shi 'er said with a smile, "Master, Big Brother Li said a lot of things, which one are you referring to? Uh, it can't be that one … someone is hunting … "He suddenly remembered that Qi Nanshan said that his master was worried about today's journey. After thinking for a while, he understood what his master was worried about.

Luo Jie couldn't help but shake his head. "Shier, you're too smart. How did you guess it?"

Guo Shi 'er waved his hand casually and said, "I was just guessing."

Qi Nanshan whispered, "Little monster!"

Luo Jie said, "Shier, what do you think? Li Ran wouldn't lie to us. This information can't be false. We just don't know how good those hunters are. If they're much better than us, we'll just be courting death. If they're about the same level or lower than us, it's still worth exploring. "

Guo Shier said, "It's possible that they're weaker than us, but it's more likely that … they're better than us."

Qi Nanshan said, "We've already come this far. If we go back, we'll be unwilling."

Qi Nanshan wasn't the only one who was unwilling. Luo Jie was also unwilling. It wasn't easy to enter the Secret Territory. Although they had the talisman door, it only recorded the location of this Secret Territory. They didn't have the coordinates to go back. They had to wait until the Secret Territory threw them out and they returned to their hometown before they could set the coordinates. Even if they wanted to go back now, they couldn't. However, they were unwilling to do nothing and just stay here.

Soon, Luo Jie made up his mind. He said, "We'll continue forward. Be careful. Try to avoid those people. If we meet them, don't hesitate. Kill them immediately! We can't let the news leak. Otherwise, we'll be chased. "He said with a murderous look. For the safety of the whole team, he didn't hesitate to kill.

Qi Nanshan shouted, "Okay, gather up!"

Guo Shi 'er said, "Master, we need to find a horse. It's too slow to walk like this."

Luo Jie said, "Yes, walking at this speed consumes too much energy."

The team of twenty-five people quickly gathered. Qi Nanshan said, "Luo Zhan, take two people to scout ahead. If you see anyone, don't alarm them. Come back quickly."

Luo Zhan agreed and took two people to scout ahead.

…

In front of them was a boundless virgin forest. Waves of mist rose from the dense forest, and under the illumination of the sun, it emitted a multicolored glow. Countless birds flew in the sky, making bursts of singing. From time to time, strange howls could be heard coming from the forest. The howls of the beasts, which fluctuated between high and low, filled the forest with a terrifying aura.

Luo Jie and the others stood on the hillside, quietly looking at the boundless forest. He said, "This forest is not safe!"

Qi Nanshan's expression was solemn as he said, "I don't know what's inside. Haha, old man, I have a feeling of anticipation. Perhaps this forest will be my burial ground."

Luo Jie said, "Don't talk nonsense! We need to be careful. You assign the tasks. Shier, the five of you follow me. Don't worry. With Master here, nothing will happen. "

Guo Shier felt a strong sense of uneasiness. He said, "Master, I know." Then he said to his four companions, "Everyone follow me. Follow Master. Don't show off. Don't distract Master."

Huo Bao said, "We can help too!"

Guo Shier said, "Baozi, you can't have this idea now. We don't need to help, but we can't cause trouble. Do you understand? Because we can't help! We're too weak! As long as we don't distract Master, we'll be of great help! "

Luo Jie nodded to himself. Guo Shier was very wise. He was right. As long as the little guy didn't distract them, it would be of great help.

"Listen to Shier's command! Your task is very simple. Protect Shier. Don't worry about anything else. It's the old man's business. "

Luo Zhan and the other two talisman martial masters had already entered the forest. They had a way to communicate with each other, so they wouldn't lose track of them. Qi Nanshan shouted, "One team on each side. I'll be in front. Old man and Shier will be in the middle. The others will be at the back … Alright, cheer up. Let's go!"

Luo Jie said to Guo Shier and the others, "Follow me. Don't run around."

The forest was hot and humid. There was a strong smell of decay. Guo Shier held a talisman knife. From time to time, he would cut down the branches and weeds. Ten minutes after entering the forest, they encountered two poisonous snakes. They were both cut down by his talisman knife.

There were two dogs running around his feet. They were the beast talismans given by Wu Qirong. They could be used to search and investigate. Because the talisman was not complete, they weren't very useful. But these two dogs had their own benefits. They were the ones who discovered the two poisonous snakes.

The group gradually entered the forest. Guo Shier couldn't see the sky. The sky was completely covered by the canopy. The temperature rose and the humidity increased. There were more and more poisonous insects. The croaking of frogs filled the air. The group silently advanced. In this environment, no one wanted to talk. They just wanted to quickly pass through this terrifying forest.

Qi Nanshan suddenly raised his arm. The group immediately stopped. Suddenly, the hot and humid feeling became hard to resist. Guo Shier's whole body felt like it had been soaked in water. It was the first time he experienced what it was like to sweat. It was even worse than a sauna. Luo Jie was still the same. He had the protection of his Life Talisman. He didn't feel hot at all.

Although Guo Shier had the Life Talisman, he hadn't formed a Life Talisman Ball. Without a certain number of talismans to form Life Talisman Balls, he didn't have many skills to use. He could only passively endure the unbearable heat.

A Talisman Martial Master quickly returned to Qi Nanshan. He whispered a few words and continued forward. Qi Nanshan signaled the group to follow. After walking for about half an hour, the group's eyes lit up. Suddenly walking out of the dark and dense forest, he felt refreshed and refreshed. A gentle breeze blew past him. That feeling was truly wonderful.

In front of them was a pile of rocks. Trees couldn't grow. There were only short shrubs. So they could see the sky. It was a ruin. Most of the buildings had already collapsed. Only a few stone houses remained. Not far away, there was a small river flowing slowly around the ruins.

"This is a ruin? Who left these ruins? "

Luo Jie shook his head. "I don't know. Let's rest here for a few days. We can also explore the ruins. Maybe we can find something. These ruins are usually destroyed by outsiders. Sometimes we can find some good things. For example, the talismans left by the ancestors. It depends on luck. Sometimes we can even find spiritual talismans and ancient talismans."

Qi Nanshan said. "Do you see that stone pillar? Everyone spread out and search separately. We must gather at the stone pillar before dark. We will spend the night there. "He continued." A few of you follow me. We are going hunting! Luo Zhan, you follow the old man. Be careful of the guards! "

Guo Shier smiled. "Master, there shouldn't be any danger here. Let's form a group of five."

Luo Jie said. "Little Feng, you follow Shier and the others. Luo Zhan, we will go to the stone pillar."

Guo Shier cheered. "Uncle Little Feng, Leopard, Stone, Chen Bing, Little Red, let's go. Hehe, let's go through here!" He followed the rocks to the left.

The group divided into several small groups and quickly disappeared into the ruins.

The ruins weren't very big. It was equivalent to a small city in Guo Shier's previous life. Even with twenty-five people, they didn't stand out at all.

Guo Shier had already seen a complete building. It was a two-story stone house. It was hidden behind a big tree. If one didn't pay attention, they wouldn't be able to see it at all.

The road had completely disappeared. Other than the piles of rocks, there was only grass and shrubs. Guo Shier and the others waved their Talisman Knives and slowly walked forward.

The road wasn't long. The small stone house was near the edge of the forest, so it was easy to overlook it.

Chen Hong followed behind Guo Shier and kept muttering, "I want to take a bath. I'm smelly. Sigh, I want to take a bath … This damn place is too hot …" She said it subconsciously. Her voice was very low, but Guo Shier's ears were very good. He heard it clearly. He couldn't help but say, "Stop muttering … The more you say, the hotter it gets …"

Chen Hong's face instantly turned red. She didn't dare to reply. She pouted and didn't say anything.

After walking for about half an hour, the six of them finally arrived at the small stone house. There was a huge tree that was almost half embedded in the stone house. They didn't know how long it had been there. It was gloomy and cool under the tree. The stone house was very old. The walls were mottled with a layer of vines. The vines' branches and leaves stretched into the stone house.

Huo Bao cheered and was about to rush in. Guo Shier grabbed his collar and pulled him back. He said, "Why are you so excited? Just rush in recklessly! "

Huo Bao said in disbelief, "Shier, how did you become so strong?"

Guo Shier said in confusion, "I'm strong? Are you kidding me? "

Huo Bao scratched his head. He really couldn't figure out why he was pulled back by Guo Shier. He said, "Shier, you've really become stronger … Forget it, I'll go in and have a look. I'll be careful!" He pulled out his Talisman Knife and said, "Wait for me. Don't run around!"

Xiao Feng just watched with a smile. He didn't intervene. He knew that he had to let the little guys practice more. If they did everything for him, they wouldn't be able to grow up.

After a while, Huo Bao came out. He said with a disappointed face, "Alas, there's nothing here. It's empty."

Guo Shier smiled and said, "Let's go in and have a look."

This gloomy stone house was completely built with blue stone, so it was very sturdy. Even after countless years of erosion, it still retained some of its original style. Guo Shier walked into a room upstairs and said, "This must be the master bedroom."

There was a small platform upstairs, almost completely covered by the branches and leaves of the big tree. There were three rooms in total. One of them had half collapsed, and one could see the sky outside. The wooden planks on the ground had long been rotten. The room downstairs was even more dilapidated. Guo Shier walked down the stone steps and came to the back of the small house.
