After giving away 30 million high-grade Spiritual Stones, Chen Xiaobei was left with more than 752 million high-grade Spiritual Stones.
To Chen Xiaobei, this kind of expenditure was completely acceptable.
Moreover, it could ensure the safety of his brothers and followers. This money was definitely worth it.
…..
After that, the group of people quickly went deeper into the mountains.
At first, with Baili Tiantu's map and Lockheed's experience in the mountains, the group was able to travel smoothly without any obstacles.
But as they went deeper into the mountains, Baili Tiantu's map became more and more unreliable. There were many mistakes and there were many missing parts.
Lockheed's experience was not enough to deal with the increasingly complicated environment. There were many strange situations that Lockheed had not even heard of before.
"It seems like we have to slow down!"
Chen Xiaobei stopped and said, "The terrain is getting more and more complicated. Not only are there Demonic Beasts everywhere, but poisonous swamps are also appearing frequently. There's even quicksand and underground fire! We have to be extra careful. The further we go, the more dangerous it will be! "
"The mountains are vast and boundless. Nothing is too strange!" Lockheed said, "Even the greatest warrior cannot travel to every corner of the mountains. There are countless unknown dangers waiting for us. We have to be careful!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Xiaobei, how far do you think we are from the Four Xiang royal city?" Six-Eared Macaque asked.
Chen Xiaobei said helplessly, "At our current speed, I'm afraid we'll need another month to get there …"
"Why don't we use flying swords?" Baili Tiantu asked.
"That's because the map in the crystal is only a rough guide! There are more than ten markers hidden in the dense forest. We won't be able to see them even if we fly in the sky! "
Chen explained, "You have to walk on foot and find all the markers. Then, you will be able to reach your destination!"
"If that's the case, we still have a long way to go …" Six-Eared Macaque sighed. "It's New Year's Eve in nine days. We'll have to spend the New Year in this deep forest!"
"There's nothing we can do …" Chen Xiaobei was helpless as well. Initially, he wanted to find the Four Xiang royal city and rebuild it so that he could celebrate the New Year with everyone.
However, based on the current situation, it was impossible to find the Four Xiang royal city in a short period of time.
Chen Xiaobei's plan was probably going to be ruined.
"That's not right!"
Suddenly, Zhao Yun, who had been silent all this while, said, "Although we're walking, we're maintaining the speed of a One-star Earth-God. That's not too slow!"
"Brother Zilong, did you find anything?" Chen pricked up his ears.
"That's obvious! When the Four Xiang Royal City went on expeditions in all directions, they often had to use the army! We can't possibly spend a month every time we send troops out, right? "
Zhao Yun said, "As the saying goes, speed is precious in war! Every march would take a month. Not only would they waste time and money, they would also miss many important opportunities! This is a taboo for military strategists! "
"Yeah!"
"Brother Zilong, you really are an expert in leading soldiers to war! You are able to hit the nail on the head!" said Chen Xiaobei.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand … "Baili Tian Tu was at a loss.
"Are you stupid?"
Chen explained, "Speed is the most important thing in war! The Four Element Capital is located deep in the core of the vast Mountains and Seas. If you want to quickly dispatch troops to battle, there is only one possibility, and that is to take a shortcut! "
"Right! That's right! When Baili Tiantu heard this, he was suddenly enlightened. "There must be a shortcut in this mountain. Only in this way can the Four Xiang Royal City's army kill their way out of the mountain as fast as possible!"
"Even if that's the case, where should we find such a shortcut?" Six Eared Macaque frowned.
"This …" Baili Tian Tu's expression froze, and his face became blank again.
Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "The mountains and seas are vast and boundless. Trying to find such a small shortcut is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack!"
Lockheed scratched his head but there was nothing he could do.
"I know!"
Just when everyone was at their wits' end, Chen Xiaobei became excited. "Since this shortcut is used by the Four Element Capital to dispatch troops, the exit must be at the outermost part of the vast Mountains and Seas! And there must be a path or plain that is suitable for rapid marching! "
"Xiaobei is right!"
Zhao Yun was also excited. "Since we are going to dispatch troops, we must go straight to the outside of the mountains! Then, we will need a path or plain to further ensure the speed of the army's march! "
Six Ear Macaque immediately understood. "First of all, it must be at the outermost part of the mountains and seas! Secondly, it must be close to a path or plain! There is a possibility of finding a shortcut to the Four Element Capital if these two conditions are met at the same time! "
"Lockheed!" Chen Xiaobei turned to look at him.
"Understood!"
Lockheed immediately took out his own map and said, "I know a total of three locations that meet these two conditions! And I think the place that is close to the Windy Grassland is the most likely one! "
Lockheed was an experienced warrior. He would often go into the vast mountains and seas to carry out his missions. No one was more familiar with the outer regions of the mountains than him!
"Windy Grassland? Tell me more!" Chen Xiaobei turned to look at him and asked.
"First of all, the Windy Grassland is close to the vast mountains and seas. Secondly, the entire grassland is flat. Both infantry and cavalry can run and attack quickly!"
Lockheed said. "The most important thing is, there used to be an ancient kingdom ruin on the Windy Grassland. Later generations found hundreds of destroyed giant teleportation portals there!"
"Giant teleportation portals?!"
Chen Xiaobei's eyes narrowed. "That's right! The Four Element Capital's army once swept through half of the Nanzhan State. The army that went to war used these portals to go to the battlefield hundreds of millions of miles away! "
"I still have a question!" Baili Tiantu asked weakly. "Why did the Four Element King build the portal on the Windy Grassland? Wouldn't it be easier to build it in the capital city? "
"Idiot!
This is for the sake of the safety of the city! If the enemy comes from the other side of the portal, they can only destroy the cities on the Windy Grassland. They won't be able to find the location of the Four Element Capital! "
"I see!" Baili Tiantu finally understood. "If that's the case, we should be able to find that mysterious shortcut near the Windy Grassland. That way, we can go straight to the Four Element Capital!"
"That's right! The possibility of that is very high … Erm … Everyone … Hold your breath … "Chen Xiaobei's expression changed.
Before he could finish, Chen Xiaobei fainted and fell to the ground.
