Ning Chen and others have already returned and are sitting in the conference room.
"Chen Min, what did you find there? You are so anxious to call us back." Lao Li asked.
Ning Chen, Xu You, and Zhang Huaiyuan also looked at her.
Chen Min placed the "Linjiang County Chronicle", the journal, and several other books on the table, with a solemn expression on his face, and said: "I discovered one thing. In the "Linjiang County Chronicle", there are
There is a record in this miscellany that says that Guibei Mountain in the North District was transformed by monsters and would come out to eat people every night. Later, in order to suppress the monsters, people built temples on the mountain to worship gods and Buddhas."
"in addition."
As she said that, she picked up several other books: "There are similar records in these two books. There is also this "Linjiang Geography"."
Opening "Linjiang Geography", she pointed to a picture inside and said, "Look, Guibei Mountain looks like a lying turtle, which matches the image of monsters recorded in several other books."
Listening to Chen Min's words, Ning Chen and others couldn't help but frown.
Ning Chen glanced at the picture and said, "Sister Chen, are you saying that those legends may be true and that Turtle Back Mountain is really transformed by monsters?"
"It's not necessarily a monster." Chen Min shook his head and added: "It might also be some kind of terrifying creature. In the past, this might just be a legend made up by some people. Who would believe that there are monsters in the world? But scary creatures have appeared.
So is this Turtle Back Mountain also a terrifying creature?"
"Also, I also checked other mountains in the North District. There is nothing special about them. The only exception is Turtle Back Mountain."
"Then the Samurai God Sect has been hiding in the North District for so long. Could the things they are planning have to do with Turtle Back Mountain?"
This matter is easy to relate.
North District, Turtle Back Mountain, monsters, Samurai Sect, scary creatures... these things are nothing if taken individually, but it is different if they are put together.
Lao Li nodded and said: "If the legend is true and Turtle Back Mountain is a monster... well, let's call it a monster for now, then the Samurai God Sect is probably here for it."
Xu You also spoke: "Do you think it is possible that the Samurai God Sect wants to release this suppressed monster?"
laugh.
Zhang Huaiyuan suddenly laughed out loud, looked at Xu You like a fool, and said: "Do you really believe in the so-called legend and think that building a temple can suppress monsters? If it were that simple, then we would build it on Turtle Back Mountain.
A temple would be good.”
this......
Xu You opened his mouth, but found that he could not refute.
Indeed, legends are just legends after all. Even though the world has changed drastically and the appearance of terrifying creatures and strangers has already changed people's perceptions, building a temple to suppress monsters still sounds like a fantasy.
"alright."
Lao Li took a puff of cigarette, knocked on the table, and said: "In any case, Guibei Mountain is the most suspect. Our next step is to explore Guibei Mountain and verify our speculation. If the people of Shishen Cult are really here
On Turtle Back Mountain, then..."
So, what?
Needless to say, if this is true, the legend may really become a reality.
The reason why Lao Li didn't say it out loud was because he hoped in his heart that it was not true, because then things would become more complicated.
A Samurai God Sect is already troublesome, and if another suppressed monster appears, it will be beyond their capabilities.
"Director." Chen Min suggested: "I think we should report the matter to the superior department. We are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If it is as we guessed, we will need the superior department to send experts to support."
"Yeah." Lao Li nodded in agreement.
How many people are there in the Samurai Sect and how strong are they?
We don’t know this yet, but if there really is a monster that has been suppressed for hundreds of years, then it is definitely not something that a group of first-class warriors like them can handle.
Finally, Lao Li began to make arrangements: "When we enter Guibei Mountain tonight, we must be careful not to be easily exposed. We must first investigate the situation of Guibei Mountain. In addition, Chen Min, please sort out the information and report it to the superior department."
Several people agreed one after another.
...
night.
Ning Chen, Li Chongfang, Xu You, Zhang Huaiyuan, and Chen Min went to Turtle Back Mountain together.
Under the cover of night, a few people sneaked in quietly and searched in several directions. Because Turtle Back Mountain is not small, in order to avoid omissions and save as much time as possible, they could only act separately.
"Remember, don't do it lightly."
Before taking action, Lao Li warned again.
Several people responded and dispersed.
Ning Chen walked up the mountain along a path. A first-level warrior has sharp ears and eyes. In addition, the moon is very round and bright today, so he can see the road clearly without lighting equipment.
After searching along the path for half an hour and finding nothing, Ning Chen began to speed up and headed towards the top of the mountain.
After another half an hour, Ning Chen stopped.
"I'm Ning Chen. I found something on the top of the mountain. Where are you?" Ning Chen took out his walkie-talkie and called in a low voice.
Chen Min: "I haven't reached the top of the mountain yet, it's about fifteen minutes."
Xu You: "Me too."
Lao Li: "I can arrive in ten minutes."
Finally, it was Zhang Huaiyuan: "I still have one minute. I have already seen the lights on the top of the mountain. Ning Chen, don't move yet. Wait for me."
Several people searched the mountain from different directions. Since they took different paths, they traveled at different speeds. Ning Chen and Zhang Huaiyuan were the fastest to approach the top of the mountain.
Obviously, Zhang Huaiyuan also discovered it.
"Yeah." Ning Chen responded and replied to Zhang Huaiyuan, "I'm about three hundred meters away from the top of the mountain in the east."
After waiting for less than a minute, a figure appeared not far away, it was Zhang Huaiyuan.
Ning Chen waved, and the two of them met, hiding in the bushes and looking towards the top of the mountain.
There were lights on somewhere, and there were several tents. There were people walking back and forth around the tents, as if they were patrolling.
This does not look like a traveler. Travelers will also stay vigilant at night, but most of them will choose to light a bonfire, and judging from the people patrolling, they are very professional.
"Do you think he is a member of the Samurai God Sect?" Zhang Huaiyuan whispered.
"I don't know." Ning Chen shook his head and added, "But it is very likely that there may be warriors on the other side. Let's be careful when approaching."
Zhang Huaiyuan nodded, and the two of them approached carefully under the cover of the trees. They were both warriors, and their steps were nimble, so it was not difficult to hide themselves.
Sneaking forward another two hundred meters, we were only about a hundred meters away from several tents, and the patrol was sixty meters away.
Through the light emanating from the tent, the two of them could vaguely see the people patrolling. They were all tall men with long knives in their hands.
There were also faint sounds of laughter and chatter coming from several tents.
Suddenly, a tent opened and a man came out.
When the tent opened and the light poured out, shining on the man's face, Ning Chen's eyes suddenly lit up - it was the third fat man!
