On the edge of the hills and mountains, giant trees hide the sky and cover the earth. A black torrent in the dimly lit jungle slowly moves closer to the bottom of the mountain.
At the front of the crowd, two men and women in blue-purple uniforms closed their eyes tightly and put their palms together in a mudra. Substantial spiritual energy fluctuations centered on the two people and spread outward until they dissipated out of everyone's sight.
After more than ten seconds, the two slowly opened their eyes, nodded to each other, and quickly turned away from the crowd and ran to a deserted place on one side.
"Team Leader Du, follow the signs and travel 30 kilometers to the east to reach the blessed land."
When they came to an open space, the woman among the two suddenly raised her head and looked at the tree crown behind her and said to herself.
"Did you find anything unusual?"
A black object in the shadow twisted irregularly and made a low, hoarse sound.
"The inspiration technique just now didn't reveal anything."
The man didn't say enough. In this place that is far away from human towns and can be called a wilderness, it is obviously impossible to detect all dangers with his strength.
"Return to the team and pay attention to the surrounding environment at all times."
After speaking, the black shadow melted like water and flowed into the canopy of the tree like a stream flowing to the distant hills, condensing into an illusory shadow with green eyes and a body like mist.

Introduction: The undead wandering in the night are trying to stop in the world....
"President, you can reach that blessed place by walking another thirty kilometers east." Du Chen, who recalled the paint shadow and hidden fog, walked up to Lin Mo and whispered.
"How is the situation with other forces?"
Glancing around the leafy jungle, Lin Mo frowned slightly. It was now nearly a day since they left the nearest Bianze City.
Even if dozens of people go deep into such a wild and dense forest, he cannot guarantee that he can protect everyone.
"Xihaitang, Yuantang and the Chu family, and the Xun family have already set off yesterday. According to my estimation, they have also arrived around the hills and mountains of Fudi." Du Chen lowered his head and thought for a moment before answering.
"From now on, you will lead the first escort group and approach the blessed land according to your original route."
"Qiu Chenjian, you will follow the team and be responsible for protecting the safety of the team."
Lin Mo bit his lower lip lightly with the tips of his teeth, and his thoughts were racing in his mind. The spiritual power of the Three Meridians Blessed Land was not only a rare treasure for humans but also for demon souls.
Although they encountered some troubles along the way, they never saw even a Nine True Demon King.
This actually made him a little more doubtful.
"I know, I will protect them."
Qiu Chenjian didn't ask any more questions, just nodded calmly and followed Du Chen quietly into the crowd of escorts.
"Poker Face is gone, what should we do now?"
Wang Buxing picked up a piece of dogtail grass on the ground, picked off the roots and put it in his mouth. He squatted on the rock and staggered, looking bored.
"We're approaching from the other side."
Looking up at the not-so-high mountain range in front of him, Lin Mo had some indescribable emotions.
Several figures jumped frequently and quickly shuttled between the tree canopies. Without the drag of the crowd, the speed of Lin Mo and the others suddenly increased several times.
And along the way, just as Lin Mo expected, except for a large number of low-level demon souls, there was no trace of the Demon Court that entrenched itself in the mountains and dominated the mountains.
"Something is wrong."
Landing on the top of the treetop, Han Yu looked at Lin Mo beside him with a solemn expression. Apart from a Nine True Snake Demon entrenched on an ancient tree, they found nothing else along the way.
Lin Mo, who also sensed something was wrong, didn't care about being exposed. He stepped into the air and looked down, only to see a line of green smoke rising from a kilometer away.
Quietly returning to the canopy, everyone cautiously approached the place where the green smoke was rising.
The lush forest leaves have become a natural protective color for everyone. Relying on the dim shade, several people are lurking in the gaps between the leaves like ghosts.
Through the branches and leaves, two monsters with lion heads and bodies dressed in animal skins were sitting at the foot of the ancient tree. On the bonfire in front of them, a sheep-like blood meal was rolling and falling in their hands, dripping grease.
“I never thought there would be such a treasured place across our hills and mountains.”
"Isn't it? Look at the glow, how bright it is."
"If it hadn't been for the human demon-sealing master who suddenly broke into our Demon Court that day, that snake spirit might never have imagined that there would be such a treasured place behind our hills and mountains."
The lion demon on the left sneered a few times, reached out and took off a leg of lamb, angrily stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
"Speaking of...why...we are told to guard our territory, the actual purpose is to let her snake demons occupy that treasured land."
"What can I do if I know it? Even the Lion King would not dare to say a word when facing that snake spirit."
The lion demon next to him bit into the flesh and blood in his hands, as if tearing out the snake spirit in his mouth.
"That's not necessarily true. I heard from the clan brother who was out on patrol that the old crocodile next door also knew about this treasure."
The lion monster on the left laughed ferociously. As long as the snake spirit dies, the hills and mountains will return to the hands of their lion clan.
Hearing this, the other lion demon stood up suddenly. The two looked at each other for a moment and couldn't help but raise their heads and laugh.
"Human Demon Sealing Master? Could it be those people from the Maritime Province?"
Wang Buxing, who was eavesdropping on the tree, turned around and asked Lin Mo in a low voice. According to their understanding, only a few major forces in the Eastern Province sent a few people to lead small teams to investigate the situation, and most of these people carefully followed the Yuzhenxuan team.
the rear.
"You'll find out if you ask."
Lin Mo flashed like an afterimage and appeared in front of the two lion demons in an instant. He raised his palms and condensed two thunderbolts to restrain the lion demons.
"Demon Sealing Master!"
Seeing Lin Mo who suddenly appeared in front of them, the two lion demons were about to resist when they were burnt black by the violent thunder.
"Yin Yun extracts the images in their minds."
Lin Mo waved his hand to disperse the thunder, and Yun Yun's long skirt floated out from the sealing array. The sound, which was like playing the strings with his jade fingers, poured into the lion demon's mind, and then intercepted the memory and condensed it into a halo in mid-air.
The memory of the lion demon was clearly reflected in the halo, and the intrusion of the human demon-sealing master was presented to Lin Mo exactly as it was.
"As expected, he is from the Maritime Province."
The aquatic demon soul king summoned by the demon sealing master who heard the figure in the halo said uncertainly.
Compared to the Eastern Province, which has more diverse types of demon souls, the Maritime Province is adjacent to oceans and lakes, where there are a large number of aquatic demon souls with powerful bloodlines and outstanding talents.
Therefore, most of the ace demon souls in the hands of demon sealing masters in the sea area are aquatic demon souls.
"Brother Lin, what should we do now?"
Zhang Yu asked with an ugly expression. Looking back from the memory of the lion demon, it can be seen that these demon spirits occupy the exact route of the guard group.
Once the two meet, it will definitely cause considerable trauma to the escort team.
"Is it really such a coincidence?"
As if he hadn't heard Zhang Yu's inquiry, Lin Mo still stared at the demon sealing masters in the halo. Judging from their frightened expressions, they obviously didn't know that they had broken into the demon court.
And it was precisely these people who were so unfamiliar with the surrounding environment that came here during this period, and accidentally broke into the Demon Court.
