The Giant Dragon Flying Generals were only responsible for clearing the obstacles, not going deep into the enemy camp.
They were moving slightly faster than the entire army, but they were not completely out of sight.
Unless they encountered something extremely strange that was far stronger than the Giant Dragon Flying Generals, there was no reason for them to die so horribly!
It was like two people walking in the wilderness. The person in front was only cutting through the thorns. After turning a corner, the person in front disappeared. There was no sound or cry for help.
"At night, there will be a frost storm in the mountains where we are. We have to reach the flat ridge as soon as possible before setting up camp," said a physiognomist who was in charge of surveying the changes in the world.
"Let the Eagle Corps be responsible for clearing the obstacles. The army will proceed as usual," said Huang Wuhou.
"Aren't we going to investigate?"
"Let's leave this place first. The danger is greater if we stay here."
The Eagle Corps was far weaker than the Giant Dragon Flying Generals, even though they had more people.
A thousand Eagle Corps soldiers maintained a low altitude. With the Giant Dragon Flying Generals as an example, they did not stray too far from the main army in case they encountered another mishap.
The army moved forward again. The flat ridge mountain was their first stop. There was a snow melt pond there, which had a better water source.
After resting, the Eagle Corps cleared the obstacles. However, less than two and a half kilometers into the mountain ridge, there was another shocking piece of news!
A thousand Eagle Corps soldiers had disappeared again!
They were clearly not out of sight. Furthermore, they were moving halfway up the mountain ridge. There was no tall forest blocking their line of sight, nor was there any frost or snow. They had simply turned around and said a few words to the people behind them. When they looked forward, they were gone!
A thousand people and a thousand Eagle Corps soldiers were not something that kittens and puppies could crawl into the roadside flower beds!
For a moment, the advancing army fell into confusion and panic.
The army had no choice but to stop again. However, the sun was already setting. If they did not reach the flat ridge mountain before nightfall, all of them would suffer from the frost storm. It would cool their blood and make it difficult for them to produce heat to maintain their body temperature. As a result, they would be in a frozen state for a very long time.
"Is it an enemy attack or a strange creature from the mountain ridge city-state?" Zhu Minglang also found it strange.
Li Yunzi shook her head. She could not make a judgment.
Generally speaking, it was rare to encounter "blind" demons when marching to war. After all, the more people there were, the greater the atmosphere. Most demons would still be scared away by the momentum of the battle.
Of course, this was a high mountain range, and below the mountain range was a valley. It was not strange for there to be creatures that they had never seen before. However, this was not Li Yunzi's area of expertise.
"Judging from the traces, it's more likely to be a demon creature. We can't rule out the possibility that the people of Hill City are using the demon creatures here to harass us," said Li Yunzi.
As the two of them spoke, the members of the other powers had arrived successively, and the first to arrive was the Head Sword of the Remote Mountain Sword Sect, Ye Yang.
"This matter was most likely done by a Great Holy Spirit. Our Remote Mountain Sword Sect is the best at vanquishing devils and demons. Our Remote Mountain Sword Sect will give everyone an answer before the sun sets," said the Sword Head, Ye Yang.
Although the other powers that held down the fort wanted to seize this opportunity to display themselves, since the Remote Mountain Sword Sect had already taken the initiative to bring it up, it wasn't good for them to continue speaking.
Li Yunzi nodded slightly.
In that case, she would just hand it over to the faction in charge and wait for the results.
…
The investigation team of the Remote Mountain Sword Sect set off. Zhu Minglang had nothing better to do, so he followed along.
The main reason was that Zi Miaozhu was involved. His Junior Sister insisted on dragging him along. Zhu Minglang was indeed quite good at vanquishing devils and demons.
Besides, the matter might not be as simple as it seemed. After receiving some warnings from the Prophet's sister-in-law, Zhu Minglang treated everything seriously.
The army stopped to rest. Zhu Minglang followed the members of the Remote Mountain Sword Sect led by Ye Yang to search for the demon creatures.
After arriving at a stone forest, Zhu Minglang began to search for the remaining auras of the demon creatures.
There was no aura. Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that it was the work of a demon. Some creatures had very faint demonic aura and demonic aura, and they were good at disguising and hiding.
A demon for a hundred years, and a demon for a thousand years. Zhu Minglang was very clear that all the demons in the world had intelligence. They definitely couldn't be underestimated. The level of one's cultivation level only represented one's chances of victory in a direct confrontation with them. However, according to Zhu Minglang's understanding, many demons, devils, and demons had their own methods of 'hunting' and wouldn't expose themselves.
"Since there are no corpses, why did those generals confirm that the Flying Dragon General and the Eagle Corps were killed?" Zi Miaozhu asked in confusion.
The person she was asking was naturally Zhu Minglang.
In her eyes, not only was Zhu Minglang the number one in the world in terms of cultivation, but even his intelligence was unmatched.
Zhu Minglang stroked his chin and acted as if he was seriously pondering.
Of course, Zhu Minglang was also seriously pondering this question.
There were no corpses.
Regardless of whether it was the Flying Dragon General or the Eagle Corps, there were no corpses.
The only things that remained at the scene of the incident were fragments of human armor and dragon scales.
Even if they had been eaten, wasn't it a bit too clean? Did those demons not even spit out the bones?
There wasn't any human hair, skin, or feathers or claws left behind.
"Young Martial Uncle, what kind of monster was it? Not counting the people for now, did it eat a hundred dragons and a thousand eagles? "Hao Ye was also Zhu Minglang's ultimate fan. He asked with a serious expression.
"I'm not sure. Let's go forward and take a look," Zhu Minglang said.
The female head disciple, Zi Miaozhu, followed closely behind Zhu Minglang. Wandering Swordmaster Hao Ye also followed behind Zhu Minglang. The swordmasters and disciples of the Distant Mountain Sword Sect were a bit troubled.
Should they follow Sword Leader Ye Yang, or follow behind Zhu Minglang like Zi Miaozhu and Hao Ye?
As expected, the Sword Leader was more intimidating. The swordmasters of the Distant Mountain Sword Sect all followed Sword Leader Ye Yang. In the end, it was Zhu Minglang, Zi Miaozhu, and Hao Ye who walked their own paths.
Zhu Minglang found the remains of the Eagle Corps along the rugged and strange mountain range.
After carefully inspecting the surroundings, Zhu Minglang discovered that the remains were in the same condition as the Flying Dragon General …
"To kill a group of a hundred Flying Dragon General and a group of a thousand Eagle Monarchs to the point where they couldn't even put up a fight and didn't even leave any bones behind, and most importantly, without causing any commotion, that person must be a Beast Sage or Demon King, right?" Hao Ye said.
Zhu Minglang didn't answer.
Because he was currently communicating with the Heaven Fiend Dragon.
"If it were you, could you kill them in such a short period of time without leaving any traces behind?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"Hiss ~!"
The Heaven Fiend Dragon indicated that its Netherlamp Tail could do it.
However, the Netherlamp Tail was an extremely powerful dragon art. The deathlight it emitted could even annihilate all the trees and plants in this mountain range …
"In short, you can do it with your cultivation, but the commotion will definitely be huge," Zhu Minglang concluded.
The Heaven Fiend Dragon nodded.
The commotion caused by a powerful art was very difficult to conceal.
