As the saying goes, "Looking at the mountain is a dead horse." Moreover, Ling Yun and the rest were currently in the depths of the Shennongjia forest, which had a total area of more than three thousand square kilometers.
Ling Yun and Dugu Mo used their movement techniques and sprinted all the way. Soon, they reached the foot of the mountain, passed through four streams, and climbed up an even higher peak.
Along the way, they saw many white animals, such as white deer, white monkeys, white deer, white snakes, white bears, and so on. They even met a few golden monkeys. Perhaps it was because they had never seen humans before, but they weren't afraid of humans. They even curiously chased after Ling Yun and the rest. It was very cute.
Ling Yun stood on the peak and looked at the clouds, the undulating peaks, and the endless dense forest. He couldn't help but frown slightly.
There wasn't even a mountain path. If they were to run around in the dense forest like headless flies, they might get lost at any time.
"Didn't you come out from the Hengduan Mountain Range? How are you leading the way? When can we get out? "
Dugu Mo scratched his head and said gloomily, "I'm familiar with the Hengduan Mountain Range, but this is Shennongjia. I've only been here three times, and I've always gone straight to the famous scenic spots …"
Even though Shennongjia had developed quite a number of tourist attractions, they didn't even make up a tenth of the entire Shennongjia. Even though Du Gumo had visited three times, he had always gone straight for the scenic spots and was in a hurry. He wasn't much more familiar with the place than Ling Yun.
Ling Yun was anxious. He waved his hand and interrupted Dugu Mo. He asked directly, "What do we do now?"
Dugu Mo chuckled. "There are two ways!"
He raised his hand and pointed to the Shennongding in the distance. "First, we go straight to the highest peak. That's the Shennongding. If we follow the mountain path from the Shennongding Peak, we'll definitely see tourists. We can go straight to the highway."
Then, he pointed in the direction of the sunrise. "Second, we'll rely on our abilities to cross the mountains and rivers. We'll go all the way east until we find the highway. Then, we'll board a random car."
"However, tourists who come to Shennongjia will usually pass by Mokugyo Town. Mokugyo Town is just to the east of Shennongjia. If we head east, we won't go too far."
These two methods were actually the dumbest, but they were not familiar with the terrain at all and did not have a compass. If they wanted to get out of this Shennongjia primeval forest, these two methods were the only feasible.
Ling Yun looked around. If he wanted to go to the highest peak, Shennong Peak, he would have to climb over at least seven or eight peaks. Moreover, the mountains were getting higher and higher. If he were to head east, even though there was no end in sight, the mountains were getting lower and lower.
"Let's go straight to the east!" Ling Yun quickly made a decision. Both of them were proficient in Qinggong, so climbing steep cliffs was no problem for them. Ling Yun didn't want to take a detour.
Dugu Mo was puzzled. "I say, Genius, why are you in such a hurry? It wasn't easy for us to come to Shennongjia. If we don't have a good time, how can we face ourselves?"
Ling Yun casually explained, "I don't even know what day it is now. I promised Ning Er that I would celebrate her birthday, so I have to rush back as soon as possible."
Actually, there was another important reason. Ling Yun didn't tell anyone about his descent into the crater. Qin Qiuyue and Ning Lingyu couldn't contact him for such a long time. Wouldn't they be worried sick?
"Who is Ning Er?"
"We'll talk after we get out of Shennongjia …"
Ling Yun wasn't in the mood to explain. He took Little White and flew towards the valley in the east. Dugu Mo had no choice but to follow.
The two of them used twenty minutes to arrive at another valley. The forest here was dense and lush. All kinds of rare birds and beasts roamed the forest leisurely.
"There's smoke in the south of the valley …" Dugu Mo suddenly said.
The two of them didn't stop. They cut through the thistles and thorns along the way. As they sped towards the mountain peak in the east, they suddenly noticed thick smoke rising from the south.
Wherever there was smoke, there would definitely be people. Ling Yun flew up to the top of a tree and looked towards the south of the valley. Indeed, there was thick smoke rising from a kilometer away.
Dawn came earlier on the mountain than on the ground. It was about six o 'clock in the morning. At such an early hour, and in the ancient forest of Shennongjia, who would come here to start a fire?
"Maybe it's a hunter near Shennongjia … Let's go and ask for directions."
Ling Yun guessed that it was probably a hunter who had sneaked into the depths of Shennongjia to hunt. He wanted to ask for directions. At least it was much better than barging around blindly.
Ling Yun landed on the ground and waved at Dugu Mo. The two of them moved one after another and dashed through the dense forest towards the place where the smoke was rising.
They advanced a distance of seven hundred meters in a few minutes. Then, Ling Yun stopped and listened attentively to the movements in front.
"What's wrong?" Dugu Mo also stopped and asked Ling Yun in confusion.
With their skills, no matter who the other party was, they could just rush over and ask directly. Why did they need to stop here?
"It's not a person, I think I heard voices …"
Dugu Mo couldn't help but be shocked. He was about to break through to the Xiantian Realm, but he couldn't hear anything from this distance. Yet, Ling Yun heard it. Didn't that mean that Ling Yun's hearing was even better than his?
"It doesn't sound like Chinese. Let's go slowly and listen to what they're saying!"
This was a primitive broad-leaved forest. The shrubs were thick and luxuriant. Standing in the middle of the dense forest, they were blocked by the layers of shrubs and leaves. They couldn't see anything more than ten meters away.
Ling Yun became cautious. If the other party wasn't speaking Chinese, then they should be foreigners. What were foreigners doing in the depths of Shennongjia in the middle of the night?
The two of them and the fox used the cover of the trees and quietly advanced another two hundred meters. They were less than a hundred meters away from the place where the smoke was rising. Even Dugu Mo could hear the voices from afar.
Indeed, it wasn't a single person. Listening to the voices, there seemed to be quite a number of people. They seemed to be discussing something.
"It's Japanese! Kill! " Dugu Mo had an extraordinary love for Japanese action movies. He could instantly tell that the other party was speaking in Japanese.
Dugu Mo was infuriated. He immediately furrowed his brows and gritted his teeth!
Seventy years ago, the Dugu Family wasn't actually in the Hengduan Mountain Range. It was only because of the Japanese invasion that the country was broken and the people had no way to make a living. The Dugu Family rose up to resist, but no matter how strong the ancient martial arts of Huaxia were, they couldn't withstand the bombardment of the Japanese airplanes and cannons. The Dugu Family lost many experts and was almost exterminated. They had no choice but to retreat deep into the mountains.
The world changed and the Japanese were finally chased out of Huaxia. However, the Dugu Family took root deep in the mountains and was already used to life in the mountains.
However, hatred, a deep-rooted hatred for the Japanese, was passed down from generation to generation. Dugu Mo was originally a hot-blooded youth. Now that he saw his enemy in front of him, how could he not be angry?
Ling Yun could tell that the group of people were indeed speaking in Japanese. There were at least seven or eight of them. He frowned deeply.
Without a doubt, these people obviously didn't just arrive this morning. It was still early, so they couldn't have entered the depths of Shennongjia so quickly!
In that case, they must have been wandering around in Shennongjia for a long time. Why would so many people come to Shennongjia in a group?
"Don't be anxious, let's walk a little further and see what they are trying to do …" Ling Yun said to Dugu Mo telepathically. He used his eyes to signal for him to calm down. Then, he quietly crept forward without making a single sound.
The two of them crept forward for another fifty meters. When they were about forty meters away from these people, they each found a big tree to cover their bodies and observed carefully from the gaps between the bushes.
Ling Yun was shocked when he saw that there were actually nine people in the other party. Seven of them had a large mountaineering bag beside them. Moreover, each of them had long knives and heavy guns beside them. They were discussing excitedly around the campfire.
Around the campfire, they had set up ten small military tents. It seemed like they had just woken up and were making a fire to boil water.
This was very much like a fully equipped expedition team!
However, there were a total of nine people. Why would there be ten military tents? Where did the other one go?
"Damn it, it's the Japanese warriors! Moreover, six of them have a high level of martial arts! All of them are above Houtian Realm Level Seven! " Dugu Mo was even more furious when he saw that the other party was carrying hot and cold weapons. If it wasn't for Ling Yun's constant hand signals and eye signals, he would have exploded in anger!
At such a distance, Ling Yun could hear these Japanese clearly even if they were to speak in a low voice. He wanted to wait a little longer to see if he could discover anything new.
The two of them didn't understand the Japanese language. They chattered very quickly. When they got to the point where they were excited, they even raised their heads and laughed maniacally. Ling Yun frowned as he watched.
Suddenly, the other party said something, and his face suddenly became mysterious. With a faint excitement, he lowered his voice, as if he was talking about something mysterious.
Ling Yun listened carefully. He could vaguely hear the words "cauldron …" "lid …" and "book …" coming out of the mouth of one of them who seemed to be the leader.
Ling Yun's jaw dropped in shock, and his brows furrowed. How could this be!
These Japanese were probably here for the green bronze cauldron. Moreover, they might even know the secret of the Earth Emperor's Book. That lid …
He only found a bronze cauldron. No matter how he looked, he couldn't find the lid. Could it be that the lid was in the hands of the Japanese? These Japanese were here to find the bronze cauldron and the Earth Emperor's Book?
Cold sweat broke out on Ling Yun's forehead. It wasn't because he was afraid, but because of the lingering fear!
Luckily, he wanted to ask for directions and decided to come take a look. Otherwise, if these Japanese really found the sealed valley that they had just come out from, he wouldn't be able to keep the spiritual herb garden that he would be using to refine pills in the future!
As the person who seemed to be the leader spoke, he took out a photo from his shirt. He turned it around and showed it to the people around him. Then, he put it away smugly. He muttered something and then laughed maniacally!
After a while, Ling Yun heard the sound of galloping. Those East Asians immediately stopped talking and started chatting with each other.
Ling Yun and Dugu Mo knew that the tenth person had returned! From the sound of his galloping footsteps, they knew that he was also a martial artist.
"Mr. Tokugawa, I've already scouted the path ahead. According to the map, we need to climb over the mountain in front. We shouldn't be far from our destination …"
As soon as the man appeared, he came to the side of the nine East Asian people and bowed to the middle-aged leader with a flattering smile.
Ling Yun looked in the direction that person was pointing and knew that they were indeed heading towards the sealed valley. His murderous intent was even stronger than Dugu Mo's!
They actually had a map?
"F * ck you traitor! Ling Yun, leave this one to me. I want to kill him personally! "Dugu Mo scolded furiously. His eyes were about to pop out of their sockets as he sent a telepathic message to Ling Yun.
This person spoke in Mandarin and was obviously from Huaxia. Dugu Mo almost couldn't hold back anymore.
"Don't worry, none of these people will be able to escape. However, that person has to be the last to be killed. I still have a lot of questions to ask him!"
Ling Yun's face darkened as he agreed with Dugu Mo's words. Without a doubt, none of these people could be left alive!
"Mr. Chen, you've done well. I believe that the Japanese Tokugawa family and the Huaxia Chen Family will definitely have a pleasant collaboration!" Tokugawa actually spoke in fluent Mandarin.
The Tokugawa team leader nodded proudly. With a smile of approval on his face, he spoke to Mr. Chen condescendingly. Although he spoke politely, everyone could see the contempt and disdain in his sharp eyes.
Tokugawa looked at Mr. Chen as if he was looking at a dog.
"Thank you, Mr. Tokugawa, for your encouragement. I'm willing to serve you. I guarantee that you will get what you want this time!"
Mr. Chen still had a flattering smile on his face as he spoke to Tokugawa. His servile manner made Ling Yun and Dugu Mo feel nauseous.
Tokugawa laughed heartily, and the other East Asians followed suit and laughed maniacally.
"Mr. Chen, this is the wild game that we just caught. Let's roast it and eat it! I have to say that Huaxia is really vast and rich in resources. The variety of rare animals in Shennongjia is really an eye-opener! "
As soon as Tokugawa finished speaking, the other East Asians stood up and laughed heartily. They walked to the side of a shrub and each of them grabbed two animals that were dripping with blood. There was a white deer, a white bear, a white monkey, and even a golden monkey.
These rare animals didn't know how to hide from people. To these Houtian Realm Level Eight experts, they were too easy to catch.
"To be honest, Mr. Chen, I love to eat raw monkey brains. This is a golden monkey from Shennongjia. They are very cunning, and I only managed to catch one. Mr. Chen, do you want to try it together?"
Tokugawa pointed at the violently struggling Jin Sihong and spoke to Mr. Chen in an extremely gentlemanly manner.
Mr. Chen only bowed and nodded with a flattering smile, as if he didn't hear the hidden meaning in Tokugawa's words.
Seeing that these people were about to prepare breakfast, Ling Yun knew that there was no need to wait any longer. He used telepathy to ask Du Gumo, "There are a total of ten people on the other side. How should we fight to keep all of them here?"
Du Gumo couldn't wait any longer. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's think of a way to eliminate the four East Asians who don't know martial arts first. Then, we'll each take three of the six experts!"
Ling Yun already had a handful of iron nails in his hands. He said coldly, "There's no need. I have plenty of hidden weapons on me. I can cripple six of them at once. Then, we'll each take two. You choose two?"
Du Gumo said in a low voice, "I can't see through that Tokugawa's realm. Perhaps he has already broken through to the Xiantian Realm. Leave him to me. He's the leader, so there will definitely be someone specially in charge of protecting him. After you're done killing the rest, come and help me!"
Ling Yun chuckled. "Don't worry, I still have Little White!"
Ling Yun instructed Little White in secret. When they were fighting later, she had to stop anyone who tried to escape. Not a single one of them could escape. Little White had fought alongside Ling Yun before. She already had a great tacit understanding with him. She nodded her head lightly to indicate that she understood.
"Move forward another ten meters!"
Using the cover of the bushes, the two of them moved forward silently for more than ten meters. After exchanging glances, their figures shot out at the same time!
Ling Yun had already activated the Stellar Condensation Technique. He didn't care about the obstruction of the bushes and immediately used the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability. His figure flashed more than thirty meters and arrived beside the bonfire!
His body was as strong as a dragon, like a divine soldier descending from the heavens!
"Chi, chi, chi …" More than ten iron nails were shot out by Ling Yun using the Shower of Flowers technique. He had already reached Physique Tempering Stage Four!
When Ling Yun was at the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Three, his iron nails were already enough to render Master Compassionless and Priestess Heartless helpless. Now that he had internal energy, his skills had multiplied!
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft …" More than ten iron nails were nailed into the throats of four East Asians who didn't know martial arts!
In addition, there were two East Asians who were carrying their prey with both hands. Their reactions were a tad slower and they were hit by Ling Yun's iron nails as well. They groaned simultaneously as blood splattered everywhere!
The other three people, including Mr. Chen, reacted with lightning speed. Even though they were clumsy, they managed to dodge Ling Yun's iron nails by a hair's breadth.
How fast were Ling Yun's hands? With a flick of his wrist, another large handful of iron nails appeared in his hands. Using the Shower of Flowers technique once again, he targeted the two injured East Asians!
Take your life while you're down!
Ling Yun was the master of fighting. He didn't hold back. With Little White around, he wasn't afraid of them escaping.
Sure enough, these two injured East Asians had just broken through to Houtian Realm Level Eight. They didn't seem to be proficient in Qinggong. Under Ling Yun's crazy attack, they couldn't dodge at all. In an instant, they were riddled with iron nails!
"Baka!" Tokugawa would never have dreamed that he would meet such experts in the deep mountains of Shennongjia. He didn't expect that with his Xiantian Realm Level One cultivation, he would be able to sneak up on him without realizing it!
Tokugawa and the two East Asian experts who were in charge of protecting him reacted extremely quickly. Their Qinggong was also very high. In an instant, they picked up their weapons and retreated twenty meters away from Ling Yun!
They didn't know how many people Ling Yun had brought with him. They thought that the matter had been exposed and that the mysterious department from Huaxia had come to stop them. They needed to observe the situation first.
"Swoosh!" With a flash of his sword, Du Gumo, who had been waiting for a long time, directly stabbed at the back of Tokugawa's neck!
This was a meeting between enemies. Du Gumo had long been stifled. There was no need for him to talk about the rules of the pugilistic world with these East Asians. He just wanted to kill them!
At this moment, Mr. Chen, who had no one to deal with, turned pale with fright. However, he reacted quickly and hid behind a large tree. He wanted to see who was attacking them.
The person who attacked them was very strong. This person already had a plan in mind. He wanted to see who would win and who would lose. If Tokugawa won, he would naturally jump out to help. If Tokugawa lost, he would choose to escape.
A person who had just broken through to Houtian Realm Level Seven wouldn't be able to escape from Little White's illusion. Ling Yun couldn't be bothered with the person with the surname Chen. With a leap, he appeared in front of Tokugawa and the other two, forming a pincer with Du Gumo.
The two experts who were protecting Tokugawa were both at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine. With Tokugawa's help, they were able to see the situation clearly. Very quickly, they shouted and launched a counterattack against Du Gumo.
The four figures entangled with each other like lightning. Of course, Ling Yun couldn't use his hidden weapons. He saw that Du Gumo was already in a difficult situation under the pincer attack of the three people. He immediately used the Mystical Dragon Howl, which caused the three of them to slow down. Then, he raised the Devil's Blade and used the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability to join the battle!
"Blade Severing Heaven and Earth!"
Tokugawa and the two experts beside him suddenly felt a piercingly cold air descend upon them after their bodies froze for a moment. When they turned their heads to look, they saw a long, pitch-black saber carrying a chilling murderous intent. The black saber radiance swept across the sky and enveloped them! (To be continued.
