After a winter's cold attack, the ground is like a huge ice cellar, releasing a biting chill. Coupled with the cold wind in early winter, it is as biting as a sharp knife.
Usually during this season, most of the monster beasts in the Tianping Mountains are in a dormant or semi-dormant state. By controlling the beating of the heart, the blood flow rate is slowed down, and the flow of beast energy is also slowed down accordingly.
, directly reducing the body's consumption to a minimum.
Therefore, this season, the Yelin Empire will organize a special late-winter hunt. Monsters that are dormant or semi-dormant will find it difficult to react immediately if they are attacked by a sneak attack. Even if a huge noise is caused, it will be difficult for the monsters to survive.
An all-out counterattack was organized within a short period of time.
This is why, during the hunting in late winter every year, the Ye Lin Empire harvests the most. But no one thought that this year’s hunting in late winter would have such a big change. Not only was the hunting interrupted shortly after it started, but also
Nothing was gained at all, and the battlefield later moved directly to the Acropolis.
Originally, the hunting at the end of winter was for humans to hunt monsters. As a result, two consecutive outbreaks of beast tides in the Acropolis directly led to the killing of a large number of humans. It can be said that "the tides are turning and the retribution is not good".
At this time, the Tianping Mountains, which had been quiet for some time, began to gradually become lively again. To be more precise, it was like a team of black clouds covering the sky, coming from north to south in a mighty manner.
When this huge team approached the outer reaches of the Tianping Mountains from a distance, the wild beasts and savage beasts living on the outer edges trembled all over, crawling on the ground and not daring to move.
These beasts, which usually run rampant outside the Tianping Mountains, often choose humans to attack, and even directly attack human villages. At this moment, they are as obedient as sheep. Not to mention that they don't dare to move even if their breath is completely restrained. Some even
The moment I saw that powerful lineup, I was scared to death.
Therefore, as this huge team approached the outer reaches of the Tianping Mountains, a pungent stench gradually filled the sky. Fortunately, these people were on their way with all their strength, so they did not need to worry about being affected by this smell for too long.
This huge team of warriors was the powerful reinforcements sent by the Ye Lin Empire. To be more precise, Weng Ben and Mo Wen were called reinforcements when they set off, and their purpose was also to support the Acropolis and Xinqiu County.
As for the majestic army in front of them, they did not actually set off as reinforcements. Their public identity when they left the imperial capital was called the "Expeditionary Force."
The team was led by Ye Meng, Weng Ben, the earth priest of the sacrificial hall, and the second and third elders of the Presbyterian Academy were responsible for leading the team. In addition, there were 18 warriors who had reached the god refining stage, and 500 warriors who had reached the Qi sensing stage.
There are nearly three thousand warriors around the Qi stage.
Such a lineup can be said to be luxurious. The targets are rolling in and heading straight for the Acropolis. After passing the last teleportation formation, they must cross the Tianping Mountains.
If it were an ordinary team, they would definitely go far away from the outer edge of the Tianping Mountains at this time and carefully go around to avoid any contact with the monsters.
But the current team doesn't have any scruples at all. Not only does not any of the monsters they encounter dare to resist, they haven't even encountered many monsters.
The team led by Ye Meng did not specifically hunt and kill monsters. After all, they had a more important mission. Since no monsters dared to provoke them, they would go to the Acropolis at full speed and kill the entire new city.
After the hunting commanderies were stabilized, they turned back to conquer the Tianping Mountains.
At the front of the team, Weng Ben looked around suspiciously after entering the Tianping Mountain Range, and from time to time he would raise his head and look into the distance.
Anyone who knows the Tianping Mountains knows that the direction Weng Ben was looking at at this time was the core area of the Tianping Mountains. Because he was rushing to the Acropolis in a straight line, although he entered the Tianping Mountains, he did not pass through the core area.
If they were going directly to Hongcheng, the team would pass right through the core area.
Noticing the difference in Weng Ben's expression, Ye Meng couldn't help but ask: "Brother Weng Ben, is there anything wrong? I see that you have been worried since you entered the Tianping Mountain Range."
After hearing Ye Meng's question, the second elder and the third elder subconsciously turned their heads to look. One of them was also a little curious, but they didn't have a deep friendship with Weng Ben, so although they had seen it before, it was not good.
Ask directly. Moreover, after coming all the way from the Imperial Capital, after the initial nervousness, I gradually became bored with the boring journey.
After slowly retracting his gaze, Weng Ben frowned and said: "Master Ye Meng should know that I lead a team to hunt in the Tianping Mountains every few years. I don't know how many times I have participated in late winter hunting. But this time it is close to Tianping.
After the mountains, I felt that the atmosphere here was a little different from before."
"Is it different? How is the atmosphere here different?" Ye Meng asked with a puzzled look on his face. He turned to look around and began to investigate attentively.
With a solemn look on his face, Weng Ben said softly: "The aura here is too rich, many times stronger than before. This is the first time in so many years that I have encountered such a change in the aura of the Tianping Mountains."
Third Elder Ye Peifang looked away with some confusion and asked: "Isn't the aura of the Tianping Mountains supposed to be particularly strong?"
Some people in the imperial capital, even the high-ranking officials of the empire, sometimes need to focus on the complex and complicated things of the empire, but they do not understand the Tianping Mountains, the largest mountain range in the empire.
Ye Meng knew that the third elder was such a person, so he patiently explained; "The situation in the Tianping Mountains is quite special. The aura of heaven and earth it possesses is relatively thin. Instead, it has more violent and violent auras.
If it cannot be isolated below the period of time, it may even be affected and die directly.
Just now Weng Ben said that I have made a special investigation, and now the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth has indeed changed. The violent and turbulent aura can no longer be felt, and what remains is the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This change is indeed unusual.
"
Weng Ben nodded and said with a serious expression: "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. I think we should treat it with caution. It is best to go around to the core area of Tianping Mountains to have a look.
You see, it's been a while since we entered the Tianping Mountains, but we haven't encountered even a fourth-level monster. We haven't even encountered any flying monsters that we usually see occasionally.
It’s so unusual to encounter these.”
Ye Meng also saw these situations, and it was only after Weng Ben reminded him that he was suddenly connected with the special situation in the Acropolis.
Instead of making an immediate decision, Ye Meng fell into silence. He knew that Weng Ben's judgment was not wrong. Some unknown changes had definitely occurred in the Tianping Mountains, and these changes may directly affect the next plan for Tianping.
Action in the Pingshan Mountains.
But after much hesitation, Ye Meng still shook his head and said: "Time is pressing now. Although I also feel that special changes must have occurred in the Tianping Mountains. But there are priorities. We have more important things to deal with now.
The problem of the Acropolis is more urgent and we cannot afford to delay it!"
When Ye Meng spoke, it could be seen that he was also full of helplessness, and this decision was also very difficult.
The second elder Ye Xing said at this time: "Let's not change the plan casually. First of all, the Acropolis is the foundation of the empire here, and there must be no problems. In addition, the water priest Zhu Tao has died, and now the fire priest has lost contact.
It has been a long time, and his safety is very important to the empire, so it is better to get to the Acropolis as soon as possible."
After hearing what Ye Meng and the second elder said, Weng Ben could only nod his head. Of course he knew that what these two people said was reasonable, but the changes in the Tianping Mountains made him feel like a lump in his throat. At the same time, he was also very
Worried about Zheng Lu's safety, the four great priests all had very good relations with each other, so he was naturally willing to see any accidents happen to Zheng Lu.
But in Weng Ben's heart, Zhu Tao's death was definitely an accident. Under normal circumstances, no one would kill him. Since it was an accident, it couldn't happen twice in such a short period of time, so he believed that Zheng Lu would not kill him.
There is a problem, so I proposed to investigate the situation of the Acropolis first.
But now both Ye Meng and Ye Xing have said this. If he continues to investigate the Tianping Mountains, he will give people the impression of being unsympathetic and indifferent to his friend Zheng Lu.
In fact, Ongmoto also knows another reason, which is that Shinkari County seems to be a rising county, but the empire has poured a lot of financial and material resources into its development. At the same time, all the super families in the empire have invested heavily in Shinkari County.
Having tasted the benefits here over the years, I am naturally more committed to investing all the family's resources here.
Among them, the Ye family, the foundation of the Yelin Empire, can be said to have invested the most in Xinghuntian County, so they are more concerned about the situation in Xinghuntian County.
Therefore, both publicly and privately, Weng Ben knew that he could not convince everyone to investigate the core area of the Tianping Mountains first. Everyone was extremely fast. In just a moment of conversation, everyone had almost crossed the Tianping Mountains and entered the Tianping Mountains.
The great plain northeast of the mountains is not far from the Acropolis.
Weng Ben suddenly turned his head and shouted behind him: "Wei Wu, you take three of your men for a walk. You don't need to enter the core to explore. You just need to observe the situation over there from a distance. No matter what you see,
All situations must be reported to me as soon as possible."
A skinny middle-aged man behind him said "Yes" in a deep voice, then turned his head and pointed behind him. Then the skinny man named Wei Wu led three of his men from the monster mount.
He floated up on his back, and then seemed to blend into the wind, flying towards the core area of the Tianping Mountains in the northwest.
Regarding Weng Ben's arrangement, Ye Meng and the second elder Ye Xing both nodded lightly. They only sent a few people to investigate secretly, and they were only a fourth-level Concentration Stage and three warriors with peak Qi senses. For the third level,
A team of more than a thousand people would not have any impact, so they all acquiesced to Weng Ben's arrangement.
