That night, everyone was divided into three teams and rested in Qishiyu.

During this period, people also passed by them from time to time, walking across the iron cable bridge over the Qingxi River and heading to Lingshan. Most of them were immortals. It seems that the big moves in the immortal village also brought excitement to many small and medium-sized forces and idle immortals. Some

People just want to take the opportunity to go and see if they can get some benefits from it.

"These people are all fine people." Jin Ling said, "With such a large-scale operation in Fairyland, the monsters in the path were either directly hunted or killed, or they fled. For them, a lot of dangers were eliminated.

It makes room for them to hunt small animals and search for elixirs, plants, and rare minerals.”

"Bullshit! These people want to get rich and want to go crazy." Yang Pu spat out a grass stalk disdainfully, "Two or three people, or even single-handedly, dare to go up to Lingshan Mountain at night. The people in Xianxiang haven't gone up the mountain yet, they

They dare to take the lead. They really think that the monsters on Lingshan Mountain are rabbits raised in captivity by their family."

Perhaps in order to verify his words, as soon as he finished speaking, a shrill scream came from the mountains and forests on the other side of the Qingxi River. This scream seemed particularly scary in the night.

people.

Everyone looked at the other side in the night and fell silent.

That night, everyone stepped up their vigilance and sent at least four immortals to each shift to keep watch. Jin Ling did not belong to the Immortal Township and was purely here to help, so he was not assigned a duty to watch. He slept comfortably until dawn.

After breakfast, the guards of the village master's mansion brought the second order from the village master Feng Yuandao, asking them to cross Qingxi and go to the Yangwei Trail at the foot of Lingshan Mountain to meet the immortals from Xinan Xiancun.

Everyone did not dare to neglect. After finishing packing, they crossed the iron cable bridge and walked southeast for four or five miles at the foot of the mountain. When they came to a mountain road going up the mountain, they saw twelve or three immortals from Xinan Fairy Village.

Pack items.

"Master Wang." An old man among the immortals of Xinan Xiancun greeted Wang Chong.

"Village Master Zhong." Wang Chong returned the greeting, "Have you passed Qingxi yesterday?"

"Yes, according to the instructions of the village owner, I will stay here and wait for you." The old man is Zhong Shujin, the owner of Xian Village in Xinan, and he is also a very famous person in Xian Village.

"There wasn't much movement at night, right?" Wang Chong asked.

"It's not surprising that there are some small movements." Zhong Shujin said, "Those people dare to go into the mountains alone at night and seek death. Whether they die at the mouth of a monster or at the hands of humans, they are all responsible for themselves."

Wang Chong sighed: "People die for money. However, Village Master Zhong, don't you think it's strange that hundreds of immortals from our entire Immortal Township went to search for diamond meteorites? The momentum is too great. Originally, this matter should be

It should be done secretly. Now, I'm afraid many people with ideas will get involved."

Zhong Shujin also frowned: "Who says it's not the case? However, the village head is far-sighted and intelligent, so it's not necessarily his idea."

Wang Chong said: "According to my opinion, a small team should be sent out secretly..."

Just as he was talking, two immortals patrolling Xinan Xianxiang came back and dragged back a mutilated corpse: "Village owner, we found a corpse on the road. It should be the one who was killed last night."

The two village owners took people to check. The corpse had sword wounds and was later gnawed by some wild beast. It looked quite scary. The weapons and property on the body were missing. Obviously, it was first attacked by others and robbed.

Weapons and property, and then dumped the body.

"Another one who wants money rather than life, drag him away and bury him." Zhong Shujin waved his hand, and the immortals took the body and buried it.

"How will we act after we meet up?" Wang Chong asked.

Zhong Shujin unfolded a residual picture of the tracing, "The village head decided eight points around the possible hiding place of the diamond meteorite. People from each fairy village worked in pairs, went to one point to get in position, and then searched inside.

, until we meet. You and I are going to Geng Point above. From here, there are still more than thirty miles of mountain road. The village master has ordered that I will control the people in our two villages for the time being."

"Follow the village master's order." Wang Chong pointed to the person behind him, "The people in my fairy village have been divided into three teams for control. I don't know if..."

"According to your division, there are three teams." Zhong Shujin said, "I, the people in Xinan Xian Village, are also divided into two teams, front, rear, left and right, echoing each other."

The two village owners discussed some details, and then led their five subordinate teams, distributed in a plum blossom shape, to move to the designated point on the map. The mountains along the way gradually became more dangerous, the trees became darker, and the surrounding areas were dense due to the

Blocked by tree shades, the light also became dim.

After a while, another corpse was found. This was found by Zhou Yi's team on the right. The corpse was also covered with swords, and then was eaten by wild beasts to the point that it looked ugly. The whole body was extremely thin.

"The only thing more terrifying than monsters is humans." Jin Ling said with emotion, "Warcraft are easy to defend against, but people's hearts are unpredictable."

"Don't pretend to be compassionate." Yang Pu snorted, "These people dare to go into the mountains to make profits before the power of the village master's mansion arrives. None of them are good deeds. They themselves may not have harmful intentions.

, it’s just that we were preempted.”

"This corpse is a little different." Zhou Yi said in a deep voice, "Although he has been eaten by monsters and most of the flesh on his body is gone, his head can be seen, and there is almost no blood flowing out of his body. It is shriveled and skinny.

.And he is obviously a mature man... There are no blood stains on the ground..."

Wang Chong also discovered this and wondered: "His blood seems to have been sucked and licked clean by something..."

Having said this, the two looked at each other with something strange in their eyes.

"At the foot of Lingshan Mountain, there are indeed monsters that like to eat human blood, like bats and leeches." Zhong Shujin said thoughtfully, "Just in my Xinan Fairy Village, there were two people last month, and there were also two people last month.

Several people... died after all their blood was sucked out of their bodies."

"Everyone, be careful. In the team, no matter what the situation, remember not to fall behind." Zhou Yi told everyone.

Less than half an hour later, they left the mountain road and completely entered the vast mountain forest. Because the Geng point planned on the map was in a deep forest with no mountain road connecting it.

While Yang Lizuan was resting, he had already put on the fine iron armor, holding a double-edged battle ax, and guarded Jin Ling's surroundings vigilantly. In his opinion, protecting Jin Ling's safety was the most important thing in his trip.

mission.

Fortunately, they were outnumbered and didn't encounter any magical beasts along the way.

In the afternoon, the five teams arrived at Point Geng on the map, continued to rest, set up camp, and waited for further instructions from the village owner.

From the topographic point of view, this Geng Point is less than halfway up the mountain. It is located on the side of a pool. It also has a flat land with some huge rocks around it. It seems that the spies of the village owner have already explored it, and each subordinate’s strength

The final destination is clearly calculated.

Water flows into the upper reaches of the pool, and then flows out from the other side, forming a small stream, but it is more than ten times smaller than the size of Qingxi.

The water in the pool is green and green, with rocks and a beach beside it. There are many messy footprints on the beach.

Yang Pu took a look and reported back: "The footprints are shallower and lighter than those of ordinary people. They should be left by immortals. Some are big and some are small, and the shape and sole texture are also different. After careful calculation, there may be six or seven people who have gone there."

I’ve stayed here for no more than a day and a half.”

"On the other side of the pool, there are some footprints of wild beasts, reaching right up to the edge of the pool. There are also some excrement of wolves, foxes, jackals and the like on the outside. It seems that this pool is also a daily drinking place for wild beasts and even monsters.

He observed very carefully, and Zhou Yi nodded repeatedly.

"Don't use the pool here." Wang Chong said. He also stood up and carefully observed the direction of the footprints. He felt a little strange. The direction of the footprints on the beach led to the pool, but only

There are footprints of going, but no footprints of coming back.

The demon fox Hongyue, who had been lying lazily on Jin Ling's left shoulder, changed a bit when he came near the pool. He jumped down and jumped to the beach, sniffing the air.

Regarding the situation along the way, even the two corpses, it didn't bother to open its eyes more. With such behavior, it was obvious that there was something here that interested it.

Suddenly, it was staring at the pool, its hair standing on end, as if facing a formidable enemy, and its eyes were wide open!

"Squeak! Squeak!"
