Through the telescope, you can see that the soldiers in Taniguchi Ice City are moving quickly, and the battle points are all defended.
This is obviously a posture to deal with enemy invasion.
But Long Chen didn't understand, who were they guarding against?
"Sir, will we be exposed?"
Cheng Jin put down the telescope, squatted on the ground, and looked at Long Chen nervously.
"It's impossible. If we were exposed, we would have been killed long ago. It's impossible, they have other goals."
Long Chen looked eastward through the telescope, as if the direction the ghost soldiers were moving was the dark forest.
"They are heading east to the Black Forest, let's go take a look."
Long Chen put away the telescope and quietly moved toward the black forest with Cheng Jin.
The mountain pass is very close to the Black Forest, and Long Chen quickly arrived at the southwest of the Black Forest.
"So many ghost soldiers..."
Cheng Jin said in a low voice.
There are ghost soldiers blocking the outside, and it looks like there are still many ghost soldiers inside the black forest.
After Long Chen observed carefully, he said: "There is a possibility that the holy beast is in the black forest."
Cheng Jin was surprised and said: "No way, the holy beast is here? Have they discovered it?"
This guess sounds a bit incredible, but it is reasonable.
After the holy beast gnaws the ice jade to recover its body, it should be able to retrieve it and seek revenge against the martial saint, so it is normal for it to appear in the black forest.
In order to prevent the holy beast from breaking into the ice field, Taniguchi's ghost soldiers entered a fighting state.
"You retreat first, go east, wait a hundred miles away, and I will sneak in alone."
With so many ghost soldiers rounding up the holy beast, the leader is likely to be the Martial Saint and the ghost girl. Once a battle breaks out, Long Chen will not be able to take care of Cheng Jin.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, let Cheng Jin retreat first.
"Sir, there are too many ghost soldiers here, and they are outside the mountain pass. If the Martial Saint and the ghost girl are discovered, they will be surrounded by thousands of people."
Cheng Jin knew that Long Chen was powerful, but the situation here was not optimistic.
There are estimated to be tens of thousands of ghost soldiers in the Black Forest, and there are also 20,000 outside the valley. The martial saint and the ghost girl may come out at any time.
In this situation, it would be too dangerous for Long Chen to sneak in alone.
Long Chen said: "Don't worry, I'm best at fishing in troubled waters, just wait for me in the east."
Cheng Jin glanced in the direction of the black forest, nodded and said, "Sir, be careful."
Cheng Jin knew that he would only be held back if he stayed, so he immediately walked south and then east.
Long Chen hung the Storm Sword on his waist and wrapped it in animal skin. This is how ghost soldiers carry their weapons.
After carefully observing the surroundings, Long Chen slowly walked towards the black forest.
There are the most ghost soldiers near the Black Forest, and there are also ghost soldiers on the outside, completely surrounding the Black Forest.
There was snow all around, there was no hiding place, and the distance between the ghost soldiers was very close, so Long Chen didn't dare to rush over rashly.
Long Chen hid in the distance and observed secretly, quietly waiting for the opportunity.
After waiting for a while, a storm began to blow in the Storm Canyon to the west.
A violent cold wind blew out from the mouth of the valley, mixed with heavy snow. The snowflakes on the ground were also picked up, and the surroundings suddenly became white and chaotic.
This is the moment Long Chen has been waiting for.
There are no shelters around the Black Forest, making it impossible to hide, but the storms in Stormwind Canyon are raging regularly. When the storm rises suddenly, the surroundings cannot be seen clearly. This is the best time.
Long Chen slowly approached the guarding ghost soldiers on the outside. When he was five meters away, he suddenly launched an attack. His true energy condensed into a sharp blade and chopped off the ghost soldiers' heads with one blow.
The weather was very cold. When the head fell, blood spurted out from the neck. Long Chen used his true energy to hold back the blood pressure. The cold temperature quickly froze the blood.
He took off the ghost soldier's animal skin clothes, buried the body in the snow, and then buried the blood on the snow. Long Chen put on the ghost soldier's clothes.
Taking advantage of the heavy wind and snow, the ghost soldiers couldn't see each other clearly, and Long Chen quickly headed towards the black forest.
When he reached the edge of the black forest, Long Chen immediately stopped.
He felt two familiar auras, which were the martial saint and the ghost girl, and there were many ghost soldiers guarding him around.
Sure enough, the two of them came.
Long Chen deliberately walked to the side, trying to stay away from the Martial Saint and the Ghost Girl to avoid being discovered.
The purpose of this trip is to find the holy beast, not to start a war with the martial saint and the ghost girl.
Moreover, Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl were both here. Long Chen was not an arrogant person and would not do stupid things in a one-on-one manner.
The wind and snow slowly stopped, and the black forest was covered with a layer of snowflakes. The surrounding ghost soldiers shook off the snow on their bodies. Long Chen looked at Wu Sheng and the ghost girl from a distance, pretending to be an ordinary ghost soldier standing there.
The ghost warriors gathered from all over the ice field. Almost 100,000 people gathered together, and they did not know each other.
Long Chen put on the clothes of the ghost tribe, and there were no flaws. The other ghost soldiers thought he was one of their own.
In the black forest.
Li Chengdao led three thousand dragon-slaying troops to sweep away, and the ghost soldiers followed him.
These ghost soldiers did not listen to Li Chengdao's words. Because Wu Sheng and the ghost girl were stationed outside, they did not dare to resist the order, so they had to follow Li Chengdao and sweep in.
While the army was mopping up, Li Chengdao came to the spy camp to inquire about the situation.
The deputy commander reported the matter truthfully. After hearing this, Li Chengdao asked: "You were missing again last night?"
The deputy commander said: "There are six more people missing. There are no people at all."
Li Chengdao looked around and asked, "Is it possible to get lost?"
The Black Forest is very large, and with the cold, wind and snow, you may freeze to death if you get lost.
The deputy commander said with great certainty: "Impossible, we have been in the Black Forest for so long, how could we get lost?"
"And, at night, there is a campfire in the middle camp, so you know where to go."
Li Chengdao asked again: "You are only searching in the Black Forest, are you sure you haven't left?"
The deputy commander nodded and said: "We are not leaving, we are only searching in the Black Forest."
Li Chengdao looked around. The tall trees stood like giants in the land of ice and snow. The trunks underneath were very spacious, with almost no place to hide.
But... Li Chengdao looked up at the top of the tree.
The ink-black branches in the canopy are criss-crossed and the trunk is very thick, which can be used as a hiding place.
If Long Chen sneaks in, he will definitely hide on the top of the tree, not underground.
"My general orders all Dragon Slayers to search the trees one by one!"
Li Chengdao gave the order, and Feng Yang immediately sent the order and shouted: "The Dragon Slayer Army went up the tree to search!"
When the deputy commander of the spies heard the general's order, he raised his head in realization.
They searched all night, focusing only on the bottom of the tree and not thinking about the top of the tree at all.
"General Li is smart, why did we ignore the top of the tree?"
Li Chengdao said coldly: "You have been here for too long and are used to it, so you ignore it."
When the Dragon Slayer Army went up the tree to search, the ghost soldiers were still searching on the ground.
"Shall we go up the tree?"
The ghost soldiers asked a ghost general, who shook his head and said: "The high priest didn't give the order, so we searched on the ground."
The Dragon Slayers were jumping up and down the trees, and the snow kept falling. The ghost soldiers below were hit by the snow, and they raised their heads angrily and yelled.
Three thousand dragon-slayers, one man and one tree, made the whole black forest agitated.
The sacred beast hidden in the canopy of the trees squats among the trees, blending perfectly with the snow.
