Zhuo Yating asked: "Mayor Xu, were you also attacked by a soul hunter yesterday?"
Xu Qingshan replied: "Yes, it was thanks to your sect's envoy who came to the rescue yesterday, otherwise we would have suffered heavy losses. However, the soul hunter has visited our town for two days, which is the first time in half a year."
"Oh? So the soul hunters only started to appear in this area half a year ago?"
"Yes, at first, only one or two sneaked into our town every ten days and a half to absorb people's souls, and we eliminated them in a few times. However, it was not until three months ago that groups of soul hunters began to appear.
Come and attack us."
"Can you tell me where these soul hunters come from?"
Xu Qingshan thought for a while and replied: "They all seem to be coming from the direction of Nanshan!"
"Nanshan?" Zhuo Yating and others felt their hearts light up when they heard this word, and asked again: "Are you sure?"
"Definitely, because we have seen more than once, in the dead of night, a ghost hunter coming out of Nanshan."
"Oh, but why didn't you tell Linzhou City or us about this situation?"
"Haha, you know that since the appearance of Soul Hunting, Linzhou City has been on high alert, and the contact with us has gradually become sparse. Besides, this is your first time here, so you don't know that Nanshan is very large.
It is a large mountain range composed of thousands of mountains, and there are countless monsters and beasts living in it, which is very dangerous. From the beginning, we had no evidence that the soul hunters came from the Nanshan Mountains, so we did not pass on the situation."
"So that's it." Zhuo Yating murmured.
Xu Qingshan added: "But as the saying goes, we rely on the mountain to eat the mountain. Our Nanshan Town also relies on this to prosper. Every year, a large number of adventurers with strong cultivation levels come here to look for adventures. Therefore, originally, the strong souls in our Nanshan Town
There are many, but since the advent of Soul Hunting, those demon hunters have gradually left here and developed elsewhere because they are afraid of Soul Hunting, so our defense strength has also weakened."
"But didn't Senior Sister Lin ask you about the soul hunting situation yesterday?" Zhuo Yating asked again.
Xu Qingshan shook his head and replied: "Without them, they came and went in a hurry. It seemed that they had received some message."
At this time, Chen Nan said on the side: "It's like this. I was the last one to bring Lin Xianji and the others to Nanshan Town yesterday."
"So it's like this. Because you were in a hurry, did you forget to ask the question?" Zhuo Yating turned to Zhan Chen and others and said: "Everyone, the soul hunter provided by Mayor Xu may come from the Nanshan Mountains.
The information is very important, we need to rush back to discuss it with Suya and the others before deciding on the next step."
Everyone nodded and agreed with her judgment, so Zhan Chen and others quickly left Nanshan Town and rushed back to Linzhou City. However, as soon as they arrived at the edge of Linzhou City, they heard
There were constant roars and flames in the city, and it was obvious that a fierce battle was breaking out.
Zhuo Yating said: "It seems that there is a fighting in the city. Let's go into the city immediately to help!"
"Okay!" Everyone entered the city and was immediately involved in the battle with the soul hunter. An hour passed before the sound of fighting in the city gradually subsided, and Zhuo Yating had time to rush to join Lin Suya and the others.
As soon as the two groups of people merged, Lin Suya asked: "Yating, why are you back so soon?"
Zhuo Yating replied: "We got an important piece of information, so we rushed back to discuss it with you. But what's going on in the city? There seems to be a lot of soul hunting today."
Lin Suya said solemnly: "Yes, since you left, soul hunters have appeared, and this time there are more than a hundred. I really don't know where these soul hunters came from, I am suspicious.
They might have climbed over the city wall at night."
Zhuo Yating nodded and replied: "That must be the case, otherwise they would not be able to pass the inspection and enter the city, and we found a suspicious point in Nanshan Town."
Lin Suya said in surprise: "Why, you also went to Nanshan Town?"
"Yes, and it just so happened that the town was attacked by soul hunters."
"Has Nanshan Town been attacked again? It seems that the number of soul hunters is indeed increasing."
"Not only that, I also found a soul hunter who is intelligent, can speak the language of water flow, and also knows how to organize other soul hunters."
Lin Suya was startled again and shouted: "That's going to be troublesome. An intelligent soul hunter will definitely be ten times more difficult to deal with than an ordinary soul hunter!"
"Suya, let's not talk about it now. I got an important piece of information from Xu Qingshan. All soul hunters may come from the Nanshan Mountains."
"Nanshan Mountains?" Lin Suya thought for a while and said: "It is indeed possible. I have seen the map. The Nanshan Mountains span our Qinxiao Sect and Yunyao Kingdom. The territory of Jinjianmen has three large and small peaks.
There are more than a thousand of them, among which the terrain is complex and there are many monsters and beasts. If it is used as a hiding place, it is perfect."
"Suya, and I also heard that the soul hunter said that he wanted to dedicate the absorbed soul to some apostle, which means that this 'apostle' is probably the mastermind behind the soul hunter who attacked us."
"It seems we have to go into the mountains anyway."
"But I'm worried that if that 'apostle' is Batuno, all of us are likely to be buried in the Nanshan Mountains."
"But Yating, we have been entrusted by the sect this time. The sect is kind to us. Besides, for the sake of so many innocent lives, we have to go on this trip. Either you all stay in the branch, and I
You can go alone."
"How can this be done? If you want to go, let's go together. If you have more people, you will have more fighting power."
"Yes, we want to go with Senior Sister Suya!" Everyone also expressed their opinions.
Lin Suya sighed: "Well, the ten of us will set off tomorrow to enter the Nanshan Mountains." She then said to Xu Chunying: "Junior sister Xu, just stay at the branch and keep the communication open. We will report everything at any time.
I will inform you of the discovered situation, and then you can deliver the news to the sect as soon as possible."
Xu Chunying nodded and said, "Leave it to me."
At this time, Zhuo Yating said: "Zhan Chen, why don't you stay? Our trip is very dangerous."
Zhan Chen knew that she was taking care of him, and he was grateful, but he said: "Senior Sister Zhuo, I am very confident in my own strength. Just take me with you."
Lin Suya glanced at Zhan Chen meaningfully and said, "Yating, Junior Brother Zhan's combat power cannot be underestimated. Besides, I think Zongli must have deep intentions in placing him in our group, so we'd better take him with us.
.”
"Okay then." Zhuo Yating could only nodded.
So, Zhan Chen followed Lin Suya and others towards Nanshan Town. When they arrived in the town, they were warmly received by Xu Qingshan. When they learned that they were going to the mountain to investigate the reality of the soul hunt, the mayor was even more excited.
Because if the soul hunting problem is not solved, they will have no peace. So he immediately sent a hunter who had been hunting in the Nanshan Mountains for a long time to Lin Suya and others to act as a guide. After the group was fully prepared, they finally headed towards
Head towards the Nanshan Mountains behind the town.
