The disappearance of a disciple of Spirit Sword Sect in Ghost Weeping Forest … For a management trainee plan full of risks and variables, it was a common occurrence — when the sect drafted the plan, it even reserved one-tenth of the death quota, which was simply pulling up seedlings to help them grow. However, Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang intuitively felt that things were not that simple.
For them, intuition had always been an important reference for action. No matter how vague or even absurd the content of intuition was, it must not be ignored. Therefore, after hearing the content of the letter conveyed by Yang Fei, the two of them frowned and began to think about the possible secret behind this matter.
The missing Junior Brother was Wang Donghua, the backbone of the golden generation. He was good at faking foreign objects, and his skill in controlling objects was at the top level in the golden generation. His life source magical treasure, the golden nucleus puppet, was even more wondrous and could be called a life-saving weapon. How could such a person suddenly be lost in Ghost Weeping Forest?
At the same time, Yang Fei was still immersed in the joy of his two Senior Brothers' Resuscitation, so he didn't notice that their faces had become worried. When he spoke, his mood was still quite relaxed. "That kid Wang Donghua always likes to rely on his many magical treasures to go to dangerous places to court death. Previously, when he was in Mount Qingyun, he was restless and repeatedly lost and was then rescued by the Elders. Unexpectedly, after coming to the Savage Land, he still hasn't changed his bad habits. Ghost Weeping Forest, I remember it is the intermediate goal of Senior Brother Liu Xian. Right now, they haven't even built their first base, but he ran to Ghost Weeping Forest alone, really … "
Before he could finish his words, Cai Xia angrily slapped him on the back of his head. "Do you know how to speak? Your own Junior Brother is in trouble, yet you still take pleasure in his misfortune? "
Being slapped, Yang Fei shrunk his neck and somewhat indignantly muttered, "What could happen? This is not the first time that kid Donghua has done such a thing. Before they set off, the Elders have helped him advance the golden nucleus puppet to spiritual treasure, which can save his life. At this time, he is most likely lost somewhere. When the time comes, we will search and rescue together. "
Cai Xia coldly humphed. "Good, then why don't you take the lead to save people? Are you just idling here?"
"Hey, I am now the person in charge of Blessed Fountain base. If you let me take the lead to leave my post and run to Ghost Weeping Forest to save people, do you still want this base?"
Cai Xia unceremoniously ridiculed, "You, the person in charge, staying here will only add to the chaos. During this time, from the base operation to serving the two Senior Brothers, aren't I the one who single-handedly took care of everything? Ever since that flood dragon was executed, you haven't played any role. Whenever you encounter something, you would only shout and wrangle, and then with bloodshot eyes, you would clamor to run to the desert to avenge Senior Brother. "
"Hey, whose eyes are red?!" Yang Fei was exposed by Cai Xia, and his face seemed to be on fire. "Don't talk nonsense!"
Cai Xia expressionlessly took out a recording crystal from her mustard seed bag and said, "Oh, I knew you wouldn't admit it..."
"Hey!"
Yang Fei had always been tolerant of Cai Xia. At this time, he was stimulated to the point that he couldn't take care of himself. He grabbed the crystal stone and said, "Don't go too far!"
Cai Xia still wanted to say more, but she heard someone next to her finally couldn't help but shout, "You two, even if you want to flirt, look at the occasion! Resuscitation has just been issued to the two Senior Brothers. They need to rest! "
At this time, even Cai Xia's cheeks were red. "I-I didn't do that with him..."
Seeing that this topic could no longer be returned, Ouyang Shang, who had just Resuscitation, sighed. "Ghost Weeping Forest? Very well, I'm ready to go. "
As his voice fell, the room was dead silent. The disciples of Spirit Sword Sect around the sickbed were dumbfounded. Thousands of words were stuck in their throats.
As the Big Brother, Ouyang Shang had always been conscientious and took good care of his Junior Brothers and Sisters. However, at present, he was still seriously injured, yet he was in a hurry to save people, this was too...
"Senior Brother, don't joke with me. Your primordial spirit has been away from your body for too long and has just returned. It will take at least three to five days of rest to recover. How could you risk your life in Ghost Weeping Forest?"
"That's right, Senior Brother, if you're not assured, we can send a few more people to help. In any case, the Blessed Fountain base has been initially operated, so we don't need to leave so many people to guard it."
Ouyang Shang shook his head. "It's not that simple, I'm afraid I have to come forward."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, someone patted his shoulder. Turning his head, he saw Wang Lu seriously shaking his head.
Ouyang Shang was startled. He didn't expect that his opinion would be the opposite of Wang Lu's. After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand to signal his Junior Brothers and Sisters to leave.
Yang Fei and the others were also stunned. However, after many years of listening to their Big Brother, they didn't continue to pester him. Instead, they quietly left, leaving only the two people who had just recovered from a serious illness in the room.
Ouyang Shang was silent for a long time, and then asked, "Do you think Junior Brother Donghua's matter … is related to that thing?"
The so-called 'that thing' naturally referred to the tragedy in Wang Lu's history, which led to the almost complete annihilation of the Lingjian School.
Wang Lu said, "After traveling through time, I have been involved in so many things that the history has long been interfered with beyond recognition. Therefore, I have no way to determine whether there is any connection or not. However, you should also feel that this matter is probably not simply a certain Junior Brother courting death and falling into danger. "
Ouyang Shang said, "It's indeed a bit of a coincidence. It just happens to be stuck at this time, as if deliberately not letting us go back to the mountain."
For Ouyang Shang, after dealing with the desert demons, the most important thing was to return to the mountain and report the matter of the demon race to the Elders. He didn't say it before because the truth was still completely hidden in the fog, and rash action might be counterproductive. However, now that the enemy was clear, there was no need to worry about any unknown threat.
The enemy was the demon race, and it was different from those peace-loving demons in the desert oasis who had been nearly completely domesticated by Fenrir. The last demon king was tyrannical, ambitious, and ruthless. If left unchecked, it would be a great threat to the entire Nine Regions. Such a powerful opponent had far exceeded the limit of the golden generation.
This was a powerful enemy that must be dealt with by the Elders of the Lingjian School and the entire Wanxian League.
By now, the unknown threat had been clearly explored, so there was no need to let the Elders retreat because of the past events. Moreover, there was enough evidence in the desert oasis, so there was no need to expose the identity of Wang Lu as a time traveler to win people's trust. Thus, this was the best time to seek help from the Elders of Spirit Sword Sect.
Unfortunately, in the Savage Land, general communication spells were completely ineffective. Sending a letter through the altar was already the limit, and this was only limited to the inside of the Savage Land. It was almost impossible to send a message to the outside. Therefore, if he wanted to report the situation to the sect, someone must personally deliver the letter.
Then, just as he was about to Resuscitation, he heard the news that his Junior Brother was missing in the Ghost Weeping Forest — the Ghost Weeping Forest was not far from the desert, so he really couldn't help but think of that.
Ouyang Shang said, "It stands to reason that he should have no chance to turn things around in a short time."
Wang Lu said, "Perhaps he himself doesn't have it, but he still has his men, and the desert tribe may not be his only chess piece. Fenrir only said that there are no too powerful creatures in the Savage Land, but by her standard, I'm afraid that even the Elders of our Heavenly Sword Hall are not that powerful. And that demon king has been operating in the Savage Land for some time before being suppressed by Fenrir. "
Ouyang Shang nodded. "So, this matter may indeed be done by the demon race. Junior Brother Wang Donghua is a hostage in their hands, and what they want is …"
Wang Lu said, "What they want is for you to go and save him immediately, so that you can avoid going back to the sect to report the situation, which would expose their existence too quickly. At the same time, if it goes well, they can also catch a more important hostage. Therefore, the rational choice is to ignore the threat of the other party and do what you should do. "
Ouyang Shang said, "Are you saying that I should abandon my Junior Brother?"
"I'm asking you to make a more rational choice."
"Read it as rational, write it as cold-blooded?"
"Tsk, I didn't expect you to be so idealistic … Let's put it this way, everything we discussed just now is based on vague speculations. Perhaps Junior Brother Wang Donghua just accidentally lost his way, or perhaps Junior Brother Liu Xian has already found him and is scolding him for being undisciplined while writing a letter to Blessed Fountain to report that he is safe, and you and I are just having a false alarm."
Ouyang Shang said, "Or perhaps Junior Brother Wang Donghua has fallen into the control of the demon race, and his life is at stake. Even the whole line led by Junior Brother Liu Xian is exposed to the risk. At this time, as long as we make a slight mistake …"
"As long as there is a slight mistake, the number of people exposed to the risk will only increase." Wang Lu said.
Ouyang Shang and Wang Lu looked at each other for a long time, and neither of them gave way.
At this time, the door of the ward was violently pushed open, and Yang Fei, who had a relaxed face just now, walked in with a gloomy face. In his hand was a letter with an image technique.
The letter was personally written by Liu Xian, and the spell was also arranged by him. The image on the letter was very simple and crude.
A bloody arm was lying quietly on a piece of white rock, and the wound of the arm was still slowly flowing with blood.
Yang Fei said with difficulty, "Liu Xian said that it was Wang Donghua's hand … Obviously, it was done by someone, because he was holding a letter in his hand, and the letter was written with the blood of Junior Brother Donghua."
As he spoke, Yang Fei flipped the letter to the next page. The image changed, and a square but rather jerky human word appeared: Come.
Ouyang Shang and Wang Lu both sucked in a mouthful of cold air.
Things had come to this point, and the original vague speculation had undoubtedly been confirmed.
It was indeed done by the demon race, and the other party had issued a naked threat.
"Big Brother, what should we do now?" Yang Fei eagerly asked.
Ouyang Shang got up from the bed. "Gather the team, we'll set off."
Then he looked back at Wang Lu.
Wang Lu took a deep breath. At this moment, he had to think hard, weighing all the gains and losses that might happen next. Ouyang Shang's attitude was so firm. Even though he knew it was a dead end, he still wanted to move forward bravely. Then...
Should he follow him and risk his life to save people? Or … should he just abandon him? Abandon this unprecedented rare genius since the establishment of the Lingjian School?
As a professional adventurer, Wang Lu was very clear about the importance of making a decision. It was just that, when it came to making a decision, it was not as easy as he thought.
And at this time, another person opened his mouth.
"Senior Brother, I'll go with you."
While speaking, Wang Lu incredulously looked at Wang Wu, who was walking in from outside the ward.
Hey, where is that pure girl who blushes when talking to people? Do you have a plan? Why did you suddenly become so active!? Master, master, isn't your estrus period a bit too irregular?! '
