Moreover, this place is in the east of Huya Mountain, further away from Donggui Valley. When the time comes to go back, it will take a day or two if it is quick, and even longer if it is slow.
The few people moved forward slowly. Fortunately, Mo Bai was still familiar with this place, and it was Akashi and Qingyu who led the way, which allowed them to find the enemy quickly.
They traveled at high speed all the way, from early morning to dusk the next day, several people ran at high speed, but the people on the road gave up after they couldn't find the inner elixir of the tree demon, so Mo Bai and the others could move forward with peace of mind.
After running all the way to a place not far from the stronghold, Mo Bai and the others went to the Black Abyss Empire's stronghold to observe what they wanted to do.
However, when they arrived around the stronghold, they saw very few spiritual beasts and human figures along the way. It seemed that the people of the Black Abyss Empire had driven away the people and spiritual beasts around the stronghold.
Mo Bai and the others were hiding in the grass, looking at the Black Abyss Empire stronghold not far away. They hid their auras, and with the grass as a cover, it would be difficult to detect them unless they were strong.
At this time, many black tents were erected here, and many people gathered in the open space outside the tents. They were busy, at least thousands of dark warriors.
"How come so many people suddenly gathered here?!" Nuo Xi lowered his voice and said in surprise. Some time ago, there were only dozens of people, not thousands at most, but now there are so many people gathered.
Mo Bai counted the numbers, suddenly froze, retracted his fingers, and whispered: "Three black generals. Although the black generals are young generals, it is really incredible that there are three of them here."
The black generals are just junior generals in the Black Abyss Empire, and above them there is a dark commander who manages them. There are three of them here, plus the four they encountered before.
Huya Mountain is still within the sphere of influence of the Anton Army Guards. The Black Abyss Empire has sent four black generals here. I am afraid this matter is not simple.
"Be careful, one of the three black generals has reached the sixth level of swordsmanship, so he must not be discovered."
Nuo Xi looked at the three black generals beside the pile of rocks with vigilance. Judging from their auras, one of them had reached the sixth level of swordsmanship, which was already beyond her.
If she is discovered, she may be in trouble. She can hold down two black generals by herself, but it will be very difficult to hold down a sixth-level swordsman.
Next to the black tent, a pile of large stones was piled up, occupying a large area of open space, and dark warriors were constantly carrying stones from other places.
"Are they moving rocks?" Su Fei asked. With so many people from the Black Abyss Empire gathering here, it is by no means as simple as moving rocks here. There may be another purpose.
"These stones must have their uses. Let's observe them first. If anything happens, we must report it to the Anton Army Guards immediately." Nuo Xi frowned and said.
She also had some doubts about these dark warriors doing this.
Mo Bai looked at these black shadows. The distance was a bit far and he couldn't see clearly. His cultivation was not as high as Nuo Xi's, so he could see more clearly at this distance.
If you get closer, you might be easily discovered, so you can only go a little further away.
But just as he was looking at the dark warriors and observing their situation, a man in black armor walked out of the pile of black tents.
His armor was different from other soldiers, and even looked more advanced than the black generals. A powerful aura emanated, faintly suppressing the three black generals.
Mo Bai couldn't help but feel frightened when he saw this armor, because he knew that he had seen this armor during many wars between the Anton Army Guards and the Black Abyss Empire.
This armor has a high status in the Black Abyss Empire. It can command the black generals under its command, lead troops on the battlefield, and enjoy the extremely high honor of the Black Abyss Empire.
That is equivalent to the generals of the Black Abyss Empire. In the Black Abyss Empire, they are known as the "Dark Commanders".
The cultivation level of the dark leader is close to the seventh level of swordsmanship at the sixth level of swordsmanship, and some have even reached the seventh level of swordsmanship.
"Dark Commander!" Mo Bai said in surprise. He didn't expect the Dark Commander to appear here. This actually made him unexpected that an empire general would actually appear in Huya Mountain.
"Even the dark commander is dispatched. This matter doesn't look simple!" Nuo Xi said, how could she not recognize this armor? She had also been on the battlefield before.
But she also felt that it was a bit lucky. After all, they were allowed to hide far away from the beginning, and with the hidden aura, even the dark commander could hardly detect them.
But when the Dark Commander makes a show, she has to be even more careful, because although they are outside the Dark General's detection range, they are within the Dark Commander's detection range.
At this time, their aura must be well hidden, and their movements must not be too big, otherwise they may be discovered. After all, the cultivation of the seventh level of swordsmanship is no better than others and cannot be underestimated.
"Fortunately, Chi Shi taught us the invisibility technique. Otherwise, with the cultivation of a dark leader, their group would be easily discovered." Nuo Xi was also secretly frightened.
During the few days of training in the cave, Mo Bai suddenly wanted to learn Chi Shi's concealment technique. He said that when he was getting rid of those people, he wanted to learn a concealment technique to make it easier to escape in the future.
After years of war, they didn't have the chance to learn this thing. They relied entirely on instinct to hide. If they had the technique, they would not be easily discovered when hiding in the future.
"Fortunately, I'm smart. I learned a simple concealment technique from Chi Shi a few days ago, but I didn't expect to use it now." Mo Bai said with luck in his heart, this technique can be said to have saved one of them.
When the three black generals saw the dark leader walking out of the tent, they slowly stepped forward and bowed to the dark leader with fists in his hands.
The dark leader nodded slightly, then turned and walked towards the river not far away, while the three black generals followed closely behind, and they did not dare to take even half a step beyond the figure in front of them.
Mo Bai watched the dark leader and the three black generals arrive at the river and frowned. What were they doing at the river? Is there something there?
What they were transporting were just ordinary stones. Such large stones could be seen everywhere in the mountains, but they were piling the large stones together for a clear purpose.
Mo Bai looked at the four black figures, then looked at the river in front of the black figures, then turned his gaze to the big rocks, frowning, curious.
But soon, Mo Bai understood their intention and was shocked. Originally, he didn't dare to think like this, but this was the only possibility for them to do so.
"Do they want to use rocks to block the river and cut off the flow of the river to cut off the water source of Donggui Valley!" Mo Bai whispered in surprise.
Donggui Valley itself does not have much water source. It mainly relies on the rivers in the surrounding mountains as water sources, and the rivers in Huya Mountain account for a large part, which is the river where Mo Bai's eyes are drawn.
Although cutting off this river will not directly lead to water shortages in Donggui Valley, it will also have an impact on Donggui Valley, causing water shortage in Donggui Valley, which is not good.
There are many people in Donggui Valley. Once this river is cut off, the water resources in Donggui Valley will be reduced by half, which will not only affect the economic interests of Donggui Valley, but also affect the morale of the soldiers.
What surprised Mo Bai even more was that this river could account for half of the water resources in Donggui Valley. Naturally, the river itself was wide and deep, and a lot of water flowed through it.
It is not easy to cut off this river, but they have moved so many stones. Although the quantity is not enough, if they are allowed to move for a period of time, everything is possible.
Nuo Xi was also surprised when he heard Mo Bai's words. His eyes widened. If the river was cut off, the Anton Army Guards House would definitely be affected.
"We must report this news to Uncle Li quickly!" Nuo Xi said.
"Didn't the Anton Army Guards have manpower in various places? What about the people at Huya Mountain?" Mo Bai asked.
Huya Mountain is now within the sphere of influence of the Anton Army Protectorate, so in these places, the Anton Army Protectorate will send some people to monitor and inquire about information there, which is equivalent to patrolling.
However, it has been half a month since he came to Huya Mountain, and he has not heard Nuo Xi mention the people arranged in Huya Mountain to him.
"We are the two people arranged by Anton Army Guards to stay at Huya Mountain!" Qingyu said calmly, looking straight at Mo Bai with a pair of eyes, as if to remind Mo Bai.
Mo Bai looked at her and patted his head. He had forgotten about it, but then he remembered that Chi Shi and Qing Yu were sent to Huya Mountain and Panyun Mountain by the Anton Army Guards.
It's just that Mo Bai was going to Panyun Mountain and Huya Mountain at that time, so they were sent over temporarily.
Mo Bai was a little embarrassed, but he had forgotten this.
"Then let's leave quickly!" Mo Bai said.
The others nodded, and Su Fei also agreed very much. She was still young and didn't want to die now.
Mo Bai turned around and took just two steps when suddenly all the surrounding scenes disappeared, and the auras of Nuo Xi and others also disappeared. At this time, he seemed to be in a void space.
At the same time, the earthy yellow crystal appeared in front of Mo Bai's eyes again, and a strong aura of earth element filled the entire void space.
And the strange feeling in Mo Bai's heart became even stronger at this time.
Mo Bai looked at the crystal in front of him and slowly stretched out his hand to touch it. The closer his fingers were to the crystal, the more powerful Mo Bai felt from his fingers.
But just when Mo Bai's fingers were about to touch the crystal, the crystal suddenly slowly drifted away like dust and disappeared, and the surrounding void became bright again.
Nuo Xi looked at Mo Bai who paused suddenly, and at the same time felt that the breath in his body was fluctuating violently. It was obviously the same situation that Mo Bai mentioned last time. It was not good for this situation to happen at this time.
Mo Bai looked at Nuo Xi and the others, who were looking at him with frowns. The appearance lasted a little longer than before, and the feeling was a little stronger. It seemed that he was closer to that place.
But he soon realized that something was wrong.
The dark leader stood by the river, looking down at the river. It was not easy to cut off the river, and it would definitely affect the Anton Army Guards.
Suddenly he raised his head and seemed to notice a breath. This breath was extremely unstable. He hadn't noticed it just now, but now it suddenly appeared.
The three dark generals behind them also noticed this aura. When they were about to leave, a strong wind roared past. They saw that the dark leader had disappeared, and his speed was faster than them. (To be continued)
