The patriarch rubbed his chin and thought: "Perhaps we can ask the monsters in the mountains for help, just like last time. Isn't it normal for the target to be attacked by monsters while walking in the wild?"
Monsters don't care about the messy things in the human world and are willing to work if they are given enough benefits.

He Lingchuan and Dong Rui trekked through the mountains for a long time, and finally saw Baidu Ridge.
The mountains are emerald green, only the tops of these peaks are white, which can be spotted from a long distance.
That's not white snow, it's just limestone.
"We're here, how can we get in touch with those fox demons?" The mission given by Lingshan is to find the three-tailed fox demon. Dong Rui asked him, "Don't say you want to have a fight first. If you don't fight, you won't get to know each other."
This is someone else's territory.
"Go to the mountainside first." He Lingchuan pointed towards the mountain, "Fang Canran gave me a way to contact him."
The weather in this mountain is weird. Last night's heavy rain fell near Kyongsan Mountain, and it's almost indistinguishable here. The soil is dry, and the snail toad has to stop and rest after walking for a few miles. So the two of them planned to walk up the mountain.
But just as we reached the foot of the mountain, someone blocked the way ahead.
There was a group of sixty or seventy people standing here, all of whom were armored soldiers. The standard military armor they wore was quite sophisticated, and He Lingchuan was sure that he had never seen it before.
Before He Lingchuan could speak, two soldiers stepped forward and asked, "What's this guy coming for?"
When you meet a passerby in the wilderness, of course you have to ask.
"We are merchants from Julu Port, going to Yao Country to do business."
"Our army is exterminating demons. There is no way forward." The soldiers warned them, "No matter where you go, take a detour."
"Who is your army?"
"We are from Yao country."
Dong Rui was surprised: "What happened on this mountain?"
Did they arrive at such a coincidence?
"The big monster has been eating people recently and has been surrounded by us on the mountain." The soldier pointed to the east, "If you don't want to die, leave quickly!"
He Lingchuan and the two thanked him and walked dozens of feet in the direction he pointed. They didn't sneak into the jungle on the side until the soldiers lost sight of them.
"You know this mission is not easy." Dong Rui muttered, "The mission target is blocked on the mountain. We have to find a way to pick it up?"
"It seems so. I see there are still many soldiers in the forest, and the Yao Kingdom is probably surrounding the mountain." He Lingchuan said without thinking, "Summon the Snail Toad."
They are here to pick up people, so it is best not to have a direct conflict with the Yao Kingdom army.
But the first step in taking over the mission was frustrated, because Snail Toad dived half a mile up the mountain and stopped moving forward——
There is a barrier and it is forbidden to go ahead!
"Hey, the army of the Yao Kingdom actually set up a barrier to avoid escape in Baitou Ridge?" Dong Rui said, "I haven't seen such a wealthy master in a long time."
Escape Technique Forbidden Formation is a common formation. It is not difficult to arrange, but it consumes a lot of energy. The larger the area covered, the greater the amount of Xuan Crystal consumed.
Even in a tense siege battle, the Escape Technique Forbidden Circle cannot be turned on all the time. Ordinary countries and cities cannot afford this money-burning enterprise.
"Have you enjoyed it more than once?"
"That was in Bejia." Dong Rui shook his head, "The Demon Emperor sent General Golden Horn to arrest us."
Bega found their whereabouts and arranged a forbidden escape formation in advance, which sealed the entire mountain. However, they saw through it and escaped in advance.
This is the Golden Gold Plains! The Yao Kingdom was actually able to use a forbidden barrier on the entire mountain just to capture a big monster.
Looking through the cracks, He Lingchuan felt that he might have underestimated Yao Country's strength in the past.
After experiencing the coup of Wei State, he still felt that there would be no too powerful country in the Golden Plains.
Dong Rui asked him habitually: "What should we do now?"
"Ask someone and then go in."
The two resurfaced and looked for opportunities outside the barrier. They all put on masks casually. He Lingchuan was a dragon-headed mask, and Dong Rui was a wolf-headed mask. They were prepared before leaving the Yangshan Islands - who knew Yaojun
There is no eyeliner in the sky, they don't want to expose themselves.
However, the Yao army was cautious and patrolled back and forth in teams of five.
He Lingchuan waited patiently for a while, and finally a soldier went out alone to release the water.
Just as the unlucky guy was about to walk back, he fell into Dong Rui's clutches.
He was not a warrior who looked down upon death. After being repaired by the ghost monkey for a few times, he moved with black eyes.
First, his answer confirmed the most important piece of information:
The target pursued by the Yao Kingdom army was the same as He Lingchuan's, which was a nest of fox monsters.
This hunt has lasted for three days. The fox demon keeps changing positions and the army is chasing after it. Unfortunately, there are too many tunnels in Baekdu Ridge, which may be the result of the fox demon's careful construction. Three days have passed.
, the fox demon is still hiding in the mountains.
Baekdu Ridge is not a single mountain; it consists of five peaks.
In the past few days, the Yao State army has been working hard to outflank them and reduce their scope of activities as much as possible. If nothing happens, they will probably be captured in the end.
Of course, since the fox demon has persisted for so long, accidents will happen as expected.
Isn’t He Lingchuan, the one who responded to it, here just now?
But he also received bad news:
In the past few days, the fox demon has been seriously injured.
"This is not good." He Lingchuan murmured, "This is not good."
The information he obtained from Fang Canran showed that the fox demon fought with the Yao Kingdom a few months ago and has never fully recovered from its injuries; now it has suffered new injuries, "Tsk, this response mission might turn into a rescue mission.
"
"We have to ask Mou Guo to pay more later." Dong Rui looked up at the sky, "It's getting dark soon, which is a good opportunity for us to go up the mountain. However, it will be difficult to get back down."
Escape techniques are prohibited in the entire mountain, so they and the fox demon have to leave here on foot.
Next, He Lingchuan asked the prisoner about the setting up of the encirclement. But this guy was just a soldier, only responsible for the things he did at his post, and his knowledge was limited.
He Lingchuan only asked about the commander-in-chief of this operation whose surname was Yu, who was a heavy-armed general of the Yao Kingdom.
The name sounds like he is brave and unparalleled, but in fact it is just a miscellaneous name.
The Yao Kingdom has been established for a long time, and there are many generals. This General Yu is only twenty-five years old, and he is also the one who has been promoted the fastest.
In this operation, he led an army of 1,700 troops to encircle and suppress the Three-Tailed Demon. He blocked several tunnel exits in advance, otherwise the difficulty of capturing him would be at least doubled.
After asking these questions, the two of them disposed of the prisoners and went into the mountains.
It was also easy for them to avoid the Yao troops on the mountain. These troops held high pine tar torches. From a distance, the mountains were dotted with stars and flames everywhere.
This was done intentionally by Yao Jun, to force the fox demon into panic, but it objectively made it easier for He Lingchuan and the two to move.
If you look at areas with sparse firelight, you will know that those places have either been searched or are probably where the fox demon is hiding.
"It's not optimistic." Dong Rui put up a pergola with his hands, "It seems that the fox monsters don't have much room to move. We come here at this time. They are lucky."
