Yi Xin's eyes lit up and her face revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. She said, "So the desolate valley is over there? I heard that ten years ago, the Evil Cult set up some kind of sinister formation there in an attempt to absorb the blood, flesh and soul of thousands of living beings. As a result, our Zhenxianmeng sent an army to break through the formation, causing the Evil Cult to suffer a great loss of vitality. Until now, they have not been able to recover. "
Lu Chen was startled. He looked at Yi Xin with a trace of astonishment on his face. He said, "Set up a formation to absorb the blood and essence of living beings? Where did you hear this? "
Yi Xin was about to answer, but He Gang sneered and said, "Junior Sister, don't listen to hearsay. In that battle, it was clearly the Evil Cult's evil people who secretly gathered in the desolate valley and set up the 'Eighteen Hell Prison Formation'. They intended to summon the Yellow Springs evil spirit army to harm the human world. It has nothing to do with living beings or blood."
Yi Xin frowned and showed an unconvinced expression. She said, "No! I clearly heard master talking about this. He said so. "As she said this, she turned her head to look at Lu Chen and said," Brother Lu, what do you think? Have you ever heard of what the Evil Cult did in the desolate valley before? "
Lu Chen was silent for a moment. He revealed a bitter smile and shook his head. "I also don't know."
He Gang wanted to say something, but he saw Han Nanzu, who was walking in front, glared at the two of them and said, "What are you talking about? Let's go quickly."
He Gang and Yi Xin seemed to have a lot of respect for this Martial Uncle. Hearing this, they did not dare to say anything more. The group of four continued to walk towards the Black Armor Mountain in the southwest.
As for the fork leading to another direction, no one passed by. It was as quiet as before among the weeds.
When they walked to the foot of the Black Armor Mountain and began to climb the mountain, the ease of the journey disappeared. Because on the Black Armor Mountain, there were almost demon beasts everywhere. Even with a guide like Lu Chen, it was difficult to find a shortcut.
The Demonic Beasts in the Chaotic Lands were ferocious creatures. When they saw people passing by, they would often attack. Therefore, Han Nanzu and the others took out their weapons and killed the Demonic Beasts along the way.
Fortunately, this place was not too deep into the Disorienting Lands. The strength of the Demonic Beasts on the mountain was only average. They were ferocious, but not intelligent. Han Nanzu and the others were able to deal with them.
However, halfway up the mountain, He Gang, who had a few drops of blood on his face and body, could no longer endure it. He looked coldly at Lu Chen and said coldly, "Lu Chen, why aren't you attacking?"
Along the way, Lu Chen had indeed been watching with folded arms. Strangely, most of the Demonic Beasts on the mountain were looking for Han Nanzu and the others. Very few of them went to cause trouble for Lu Chen. Lu Chen was also happy to be at ease. He had been watching the battle from the side and had no intention of helping at all.
After hearing He Gang's words, Lu Chen grinned and said, "We have an agreement. I only need to lead the way. I don't care about anything else."
"You …"
He Gang was furious, but he was immediately stopped by Han Nanzu. This middle-aged man looked at Lu Chen and frowned, "Brother Lu, since we have promised you, we will not go back on our words. However, now that we have reached the Black Armor Mountain, where is the Dusk Fog Flower?"
Lu Chen smiled and took two steps forward. Looking at the mountain, he waved his hand and said, "Follow me."
The group of four continued to move forward. Han Nanzu and the others followed behind Lu Chen. They saw that he was walking towards the east of the Black Armor Mountain. In less than an hour, they encountered several groups of Demonic Beasts. The others were fine, but when they walked to the side of a mountain stream, they encountered a group of "Black Jackals", which was a bit troublesome.
Black Jackals were ordinary low-level Demonic Beasts. They looked similar to the dogs of the farmers in the mountains outside the Chaotic Lands, except that they were a bit bigger and more ferocious. Individually, even on the Black Armor Mountain, Black Jackals were a relatively weak kind of Demonic Beasts. However, this kind of Demonic Beasts were born to be in groups. Almost no Black Jackals appeared alone. At the same time, this kind of Demonic Beasts was relatively smarter than other Demonic Beasts. When they encountered prey, they would swarm together, which was not easy to deal with.
On the mountain road beside the mountain stream, Lu Chen and the others encountered such a group of Black Jackals. There were about seven or eight of them. In fact, it was not a big group, but even so, these Black Jackals showed He Gang and Yi Xin what was called cunning.
The group of Demonic Beasts surrounded them from all sides. They even used the strategy of making a sound in the east and attacking in the west. Then they quickly judged that Yi Xin and He Gang were the two weakest among them. Suddenly, they attacked together, catching the two young people off guard.
Especially Yi Xin, because she had not been in the Jianghu, when she saw the ferocious and abnormal Demonic Beasts pouncing on her, she turned pale and could only use 50% of her power.
Fortunately, there was Han Nanzu, who had profound cultivation and rich experience on this side. He rushed forward with a sword, killed three Demonic Beasts and wounded two. Only then did the rest of the Demonic Beasts retreat and saved Yi Xin, who was a little embarrassed.
During this process, Lu Chen still did not make a move. Yi Xin was still in a state of shock, so it was fine, but He Gang was glaring angrily. Just as he was about to let loose a torrent of abuse, he suddenly saw Lu Chen standing on the stone cliff beside the mountain stream, looking down, then beckoning to them, "We're here, the Dusk Fog Flower is right below."
Lu Chen's words weren't wrong. When Han Nanzu and the others came over to take a look, they discovered that there was indeed a waterfall that was several meters tall at the bottom of the mountain stream. The water flowed down and converged into a pool, and there were many pink flowers growing on the wet stone walls beside it.
This time, He Gang couldn't be bothered to argue with Lu Chen anymore. They hurriedly found a path to descend the mountain and walked all the way to the pool.
Han Nanzu looked at the stone wall and smiled, "It really is the Dusk Fog Flower. I didn't think there would be so many here."
He Gang and Yi Xin were also very happy. Their goal this time was actually to pick ten Dusk Fog Flowers and return to complete the task. But looking at the flowers on the stone wall, there were at least twenty of them. It was obviously a big harvest.
Immediately, He Gang and Yi Xin rushed to the stone wall to pick, while Han Nanzu walked to Lu Chen's side and said, "Brother Lu, this place is really good, thank you. But the Two-striped Dusk Fog Flower you mentioned before … "
Lu Chen nodded and pointed to the waterfall, saying, "If I'm not wrong, on the stone wall behind the curtain of water, there should be a Two-striped Dusk Fog Flower. You should go and take a look."
Han Nanzu was startled, and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes. But after thinking for a moment, he still nodded and walked towards the waterfall.
When he came to the side of the waterfall, he quickly climbed up the stone wall. Although many places looked slippery, it did not seem to be a problem for him.
Not long after, his figure suddenly stopped, and then he looked into the water, plucked a large red flower from behind the water, and then jumped down.
After landing on the ground, Han Nanzu carefully looked at the red flower in his hand, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face. He nodded and said with a smile, "It really is a Two-striped Dusk Fog Flower."
After thinking for a moment, he directly took out a small bag from his bosom and threw it to Lu Chen, "Your remaining half of the reward."
Lu Chen caught it and nodded with a smile. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly frowned and looked back.
The wilderness was quiet, other than the sound of the mountain breeze blowing through the treetops, there was almost no other movement. Just that right now, there was something strange, in the wind, there seemed to be one or two light long howls and barks coming from afar.
Lu Chen's face darkened, and he turned around with a frown. He said to Han Nanzu, "Stop picking, let's leave this place."
