The group retreated about five li before stopping. Deng Wen let out a long breath and said, "It seems like we can only change our route. The last time we came here, there weren't any Ground Fire Rats. Who would've thought that this place would become the Ground Fire Rats' territory. Sigh, we'll have to find a new path."
Zhao Hai stood not far from Deng Wen, but he didn't ask anything. On the contrary, a Cultivator beside Deng Wen asked, "Elder, isn't it good to find a new path?"
Deng Wen turned his head to look at the Cultivator and said, "What's good about it? Finding a new path means that people will die. Do you know how many people died in order to find this path? I don't know who will be sent to find a path this time. "
Just as Deng Wen finished speaking, Long Xiang's voice was heard, "Tyrant Blade Sect's Zhao Hai, step forward and scout the path ahead."
Hearing Long Xiang's words, Deng Wen's expression couldn't help but change. He knew Zhao Hai's identity. Zhao Hai was the future hope of the Tyrant's Blade School. Sending him to the front of the Tyrant's Blade School as a scout was akin to asking for Zhao Hai's life.
Just as Deng Wen was about to retort, Zhao Hai said, "Elder Deng, let me go. If I don't go, then those fellows will have a reason to deal with the Tyrant Blade Sect. Moreover, I don't think that Elder Long Xiang wants my life."
Hearing Zhao Hai, Deng Wen couldn't help but stare. Then he nodded. Zhao Hai was now a member of the Long Clan. Long Xiang had no reason to want Zhao Hai's life.
After Zhao Hai finished speaking to Deng Wen, he immediately responded loudly. Then his figure moved and arrived beside Long Xiang. Long Xiang looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Zhao Hai, you lead five people and scout the path ahead. If there's any danger, you must mark it out."
After saying this, Deng Wen immediately transmitted his voice to Zhao Hai, "Second Uncle wants you to perform meritorious deeds. When you return, your rank will be raised. Although scouting the path ahead is dangerous, you should have a certain degree of confidence since you dared to enter the Spirit Monster Mountain. As long as you're careful, there shouldn't be any problems. Remember, preserving your life is the most important thing. Even if you don't complete the mission, it doesn't matter."
Zhao Hai nodded. Then he led the five people that Deng Wen pointed out. The people from the Hegemon Sword Sect, the Imperial Beast Sect, and the Peerless Sword Faction looked at Zhao Hai's back. Their eyes showed a hint of schadenfreude. They had enmity with the Hegemon Sword Sect, while the Peerless Sword Faction had enmity with Zhao Hai. They couldn't wait for Zhao Hai to die.
The faces of the five people who were pointed out by Zhao Hai were now ashen. This was their first time entering the Underground World, but they had heard of its dangers from other people's mouths. Asking them to explore the Underground World was the same as sending them to their deaths. But they were very clear that if they didn't go, then Long Xiang wouldn't let them go. Zhao Hai's eyes were filled with despair. Zhao Hai's eyes lit up.
Zhao Hai led the five people forward. Then he looked at the people behind him. These people were the children of the Long Clan. Zhao Hai didn't hide anything from them. He waved his hand and released Zerg. In the blink of an eye, the Zerg disappeared into the ground.
When the people saw Zhao Hai's actions, they couldn't help but stare. Then their faces showed a hint of surprise as they turned their heads to look at Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "Follow me, I'll guarantee your safety. Let's go!" Then he walked forward. The others quickly followed behind Zhao Hai. They carefully walked forward.
After walking for a while, Zhao Hai stopped. Then he pointed at a place in front of him and said, "There's a Zerg Nest there. Put a warning sign here. We'll turn left." Someone immediately complied. Then he took out a jade slip and placed it on the ground. This jade slip can release very faint spiritual fluctuations. If one didn't pay attention, then it would be very easy to miss it. However, it was the best way to use it as a warning sign. Most importantly, this jade slip can also tell the people behind which direction to go. Then the people behind can put the jade slip away and not be discovered.
After Zhao Hai saw that the people had placed the warning sign, he immediately led the group to the left. After half an hour, Zhao Hai turned around and left a sign at the place where he turned.
Along the way, Zhao Hai's group didn't walk very fast. Long Xiang and the others who were behind Zhao Hai also didn't walk very fast. While they were walking, they had to pay attention to the signs that Zhao Hai left behind. Moreover, they also had to make a map of the places they went. They had to save it for their next operation.
Long Xiang thought that after Zhao Hai's group walked for a while, they would be discovered by the underground beasts. That way, he would be able to replace them. Zhao Hai would be considered to have done a meritorious deed. At the same time, Zhao Hai's safety would also be guaranteed.
However, Long Xiang didn't expect that the further they went, the more likely they were to see the jade slips that Zhao Hai left behind. However, Zhao Hai's group was never discovered. What made Long Xiang shocked was that they didn't encounter any attacks along the way. They were actually able to avoid the attacks of the underground beasts.
After walking for a few hours, they still didn't encounter any beasts. Long Xiang couldn't help but sigh. He now believed that Zhao Hai had the ability to enter the depths of the Spirit Monster Mountain.
At this time, he suddenly felt a burst of energy fluctuations in front of him, followed by the sound of fighting. Long Xiang was stunned, then his face changed, and he quickly said, "Everyone stay here and don't move." Finished speaking, his figure moved, and he rushed forward.
The reason why Long Xiang had such a big reaction was because he felt that Zhao Hai's opponent wasn't a beast, but a Ghost Cultivator.
In fact, just as Long Xiang thought, Zhao Hai's opponent was a Ghost Cultivator. This Ghost Cultivator was only at the Transcending Realm. He didn't discover Zhao Hai's group, but Zhao Hai did. After discussing with the others, Long Xiang decided to deal with this Ghost Cultivator first. Because of this, there was a fight.
When Long Xiang arrived at the place where Zhao Hai's group was fighting, Zhao Hai's group had already killed the Ghost Cultivator. Upon seeing the Ghost Cultivator on the ground, Long Xiang couldn't help but be nervous as he said, "What happened?"
Zhao Hai said, "It might be a Ghost Cultivator who came here to train. I found that he was alone, so I killed him."
Long Xiang didn't oppose Zhao Hai's actions. On the contrary, he thought that Zhao Hai was right. He nodded and said, "Good, you did a good job. If this Ghost Cultivator found us through some clues, then it would be more troublesome. So what if we killed him? In any case, the Ghost Cultivators aren't monolithic. We wouldn't know who killed him."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I also think so. There aren't any other Ghost Cultivators in the vicinity. It's obvious that this guy came out alone. And if I'm not wrong, there should be an entrance to the mountain, right? Do we need to go out here? "
Then he nodded and said, "There is indeed an entrance to the mountain. It's on the right side of the mountain. After walking for about 20 miles, we'll be able to leave the mountain. There's a ghost town there, but we won't leave from here. It's too close to our current location, we can't be discovered by them. We'll have to walk for about three days before leaving the mountain."
We need to go out for three days. "Zhao Hai nodded and said," Alright, I understand. They'll go immediately. "
Long Xiang nodded and said, "Be careful. After dawn, find a place to rest."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, I understand." Then Zhao Hai waved his hand and led the five Ghost Cultivators forward. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from Long Xiang's sight. Long Xiang looked at Zhao Hai and muttered, "Second Uncle's vision is really good. This kid really has some skills."
Then Long Xiang's figure moved and returned to the group. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go." Just as he said that, Deng Wen came to his side and said, "Old Xiang, what's wrong? Did something happen in front? "
Long Xiang looked at Deng Wen and said, "Don't worry, it's fine. Zhao Hai and the others met a Ghost Cultivator and killed him. You don't need to worry."
Deng Wen nodded, then he smiled bitterly and said, "The Yin Yang Clan really got lucky this time. They actually got such a monstrous disciple. This kid always surprises people."
Long Xiang smiled faintly and said, "Not to mention you, even our Long Clan was surprised. A talent like Zhao Hai, it's the first time we've met one." Deng Wen smiled faintly, then his figure moved and returned to the Tyrant's Blade School's group. However, the way he whispered to Long Xiang was seen by the other Sects. Some of the people who were participating in the operation for the first time couldn't help but have their complexions change when they saw Deng Wen whispering to Long Xiang.
This time, the people participating in the operation were the allied forces of the various Sects. Their hearts weren't united, they were also wary of each other. They were afraid of being used as cannon fodder. But from the way Long Xiang and Deng Wen talked, it was clear that the two knew each other. These people were really afraid that because Long Xiang and Deng Wen knew each other, they wouldn't let the Tyrant's Blade School participate in the dangerous operation.
Those who participated in the operation didn't take it seriously. Not only did Long Xiang and Deng Wen know each other, Long Xiang wasn't the kind of person who would do things based on face. If Long Xiang thinks that he should send someone to attack, then regardless of their relationship with him, he wouldn't hesitate to send them.
Long Xiang had already led people on this operation dozens of times. Naturally, he could see what these people were thinking from their reactions. However, he didn't take it seriously. This time, most of the Sects that participated in the operation knew Long Xiang and knew what kind of person he was. Those who didn't know Long Xiang were in the minority, they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
Everyone followed the path that Zhao Hai left behind. After walking for three hours, the light around them became stronger and stronger. It was as if the sky had turned bright.
Long Xiang looked around and wanted to send someone to remind Zhao Hai to find a place to rest. However, he discovered that the Cultivator who went with Zhao Hai had already returned. The Cultivator arrived in front of Long Xiang, then he bowed and said, "Elder, we found a place to rest. Mister Zhao Hai asked me to lead everyone there."
Long Xiang nodded with satisfaction, then he waved his hand and led everyone to follow the Cultivator.
