Long Chen and Cheng Jin walked toward the Hera Pass. Cheng Jin was very nervous. He was worried about being discovered by the sentries of the ghost tribe.
Long Chen's attention was on searching for traces of the holy beast, and he didn't pay much attention to the sentinels of the ghost tribe waiting to ride.
The purpose of this trip is not to fight the ghost clan, but to find the holy beast.
When arriving at the outskirts of the Hera Pass, Long Chen stopped.
"Sir, why don't you go a little further?"
When Long Chen stopped, Cheng Jin felt a little strange. He said just now that he was not afraid of being discovered, so why did he stop outside again?
"We'll just search on the outside and won't go any further."
It is unlikely that the holy beast will rush into the Hera Pass. There are too many ghost soldiers there.
If the sacred beast was here, where would it be?
Long Chen raised his head and looked in the direction of the Hera Pass. The towering 10,000-meter-high mountain peaks were like a curtain hanging down from the sky, separating the grasslands and the ice fields.
Behind is the world of ghosts, and outside is the world of humans.
"Should we climb over the mountain and enter the ice field?"
Cheng Jin looked at the 10,000-meter mountain peak and said.
Long Chen thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, what are you going to do over the 10,000-meter peak? Enter the ice field to sneak attack the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl?"
It is difficult to cross the 10,000-meter mountain peak. Even if you cross it, what can the holy beast do if you enter the ice field?
The martial saint and the ghost girl are inside, and there are so many ghost soldiers gathered, so the holy beast cannot take any advantage.
Cheng Jin said: "You can go back to its original place. Doesn't the holy beast belong to the ice field?"
The ice field is the hometown for the sacred beast, and it is normal to return to its hometown.
Long Chen shook his head and said: "No, the ice field used to be the hometown of the holy beast, but now the ice field belongs to the ghost girl, the martial saint. If it returns to the ice field, it will be hunted down, and it will not do this."
If the holy beast returns to the ice field, it will definitely be discovered, and it will be hunted down.
The Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl are currently short of generals. The Holy Beast can control the blizzard. The Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl will definitely not let them go.
Cheng Jin smiled and said: "Sir, that thing is just a wild beast. Are you Aren’t you overestimating its intelligence? Many beasts only act instinctively and don’t think too much.”
Long Chen said: "How intelligent a beast is? You can tell by whether it holds a grudge or not. Beasts that hold a grudge are not stupid."
"The holy beast is so vengeful and wants to take revenge after four hundred years. It will definitely not be stupid."
Looking around, Long Chen said: "Let's go to the west first and see if there is anything there."
Cheng Jin followed Long Chen and walked west.
Long Chen was not worried that the holy beast would cross the mountain peak and enter the ice field. He was worried that the holy beast would not come here at all.
If the holy beast recovers its body somewhere else, or if something else happens, the trip will be in vain.
The Black Forest east of the Hera Pass.
A dead soldier who looked to be in his forties was sitting under the tree, holding a reed pipe in his hand.
This dead soldier's name is Meng Tian, and he is a subordinate trained by Li Man.
After Wei Ying's death, Li Man became Wu Sheng's chief spy.
During the attack on Yuncheng, Li Man served as a vanguard officer, but was captured alive.
After Li Man's death, Meng Tian was promoted to commander and responsible for gathering information.
Pulling out the secret message from the reed tube, Meng Tian read it carefully, then got up and prepared to go to the Hera Pass.
Meng Tian's position is not high and he doesn't have many people under his command, but his status is very high and he can directly see Wu Sheng.
The information was very important. After Li Man's death, Wu Sheng directly asked about it.
Meng Tian walked quickly to the west. There were many ghost soldiers and dead soldiers in the black forest. These people were responsible for gathering intelligence.
After suffering losses, Wu Sheng became very focused on intelligence gathering.
Although Li Man is dead, the spies sent to Yanmen Pass are still delivering intelligence to the Black Forest, especially the information about Long Chen and the Empress.
In addition to Yanmen Pass, there are also spies infiltrating into the Central Plains
, more information was gathered into the hands of Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng uses them to collect combat intelligence, and Ghost Girl also uses them to find ghost fetuses.
Meng Tian walked alone in the black forest, the cold wind blew by, and the ink color of the black forest became more obvious in the white snow.
A ball of snow fell from the tree and landed on his hat. Meng Tian didn't pay much attention to it. He raised his hand and patted it to sweep the snow away.
The trees in the Black Forest are very tall, so it is normal for some snow to fall.
"Um?"
Meng Tian suddenly stopped and looked up at the top of the tree. A large pile of snow fell on his head. Meng Tian did not want to be hit by the snow, so he hurriedly avoided it.
This pile of snow is so big that if you are hit by it, your whole person will be covered.
Of course Meng Tian didn't want to be buried under the snow. After jumping more than ten meters, the snow suddenly fell to the ground.
"fortunately."
Meng Tian was just about to say that he was lucky not to be hit by the snow. Before he could finish his words, he saw a ball of snow on the ground suddenly jump up and shoot towards him like a cannonball.
Meng Tian was startled. He was completely unprepared because the Black Forest was the territory of the ghost clan and it was very safe here.
Snow flew towards him. Meng Tian knew something was wrong and quickly pulled out the sharp knife from his waist. The snow suddenly exploded, revealing a monster that looked like both an ape and a bear.
"Holy beast!"
Meng Tian was a veteran from four hundred years ago. He had followed the Martial Saint for a long time and recognized the identity of the monster in front of him.
Convincing that the one who attacked him was a holy beast, Meng Tian was so frightened that he grasped the sharp blade in his hand tightly and swung it at the holy beast.
The holy beast is a monster that lives in the ice field. It can control blizzards and its combat power is no less than that of a high-level ghost general. Meng Tian is just an ordinary warrior. In addition, the holy beast intends to attack secretly. When Meng Tian stabbed with the sharp blade, the holy beast dodged sideways.
The sharp blade only hit the long hair of the holy beast, and the attack failed.
At this time, the holy beast was close to Meng Tian's body, raised its claws, and slapped Meng Tian's forehead with a palm. Meng Tian's head exploded instantly, his brains shot out, and his body fell gently to the ground.
r>
The holy beast landed on the ground, turned around and slowly walked towards Meng Tian's body.
Looking at Meng Tian on the ground, the holy beast stretched out its claws, grabbed the brains on the ground, put it into its mouth to chew, and looked around with its head alertly.
After eating the brains and digging out the internal organs, the holy beast grabbed the empty shell of the body and jumped to the top of the tree.
The empty corpse hung on the branch, a gust of wind and snow fell, covering up the traces on the ground, and the holy beast disappeared into the black forest.
Four hundred years ago, the holy beast was expelled from the ice field by the martial saint and the ghost girl, and followed the ghost soldiers to fight.
The Holy Beast was unwilling and turned against him during the battle. The Martial Saint was furious and wanted to kill the Holy Beast.
The ghost girl felt that the holy beast was a spiritual beast of the ghost clan, so she did not agree to kill it, and was finally banned under the altar.
According to the Martial Saint's idea, the holy beast was imprisoned under the altar, slowly torturing its mind, and finally becoming his own war slave.
Unexpectedly, the war situation took a turn for the worse. The Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl retreated to the ice field to sleep, while the Holy Beast was imprisoned at the altar for four hundred years.
For the past four hundred years, the holy beast has lived a life of darkness in the altar.
It doesn't know the year, month and day, but it knows that time is passing and the hatred in its heart is gradually accumulating.
The ghost fetus released the holy beast and wanted it to deal with Long Chen and the Empress, but the result was counterproductive. The holy beast became violent and mad, attacking everyone indiscriminately.
Seeing that he couldn't control the holy beast, Gui Tai simply gave up. The holy beast couldn't defeat Long Chen, so he took advantage of the snowstorm to escape.
After leaving the snow mountain, the holy beast went to the Ice Jade Mountain and ate ice jade to restore its strength.
The four-hundred-year ban has consumed the holy beast's physical strength, and it is very weak.
After recovering in Bingyu Mountain, the holy beast sneaked into the vicinity of the Hera Pass.
It is looking for the martial saint, the ghost girl, and an opportunity to take revenge.
But there were too many ghost soldiers around, so the holy beast hid in the dark forest and secretly attacked the lone ghost soldiers and dead soldiers.
Meng Tian happened to be alone, and the holy beast found an opportunity and killed him with one blow.
