Under the leadership of Durres, everyone in Shrek went to the military camp to rest and recuperate, and got information about the target, the evil soul master gang - the Hand of Death.
According to intelligence, the main area of activity of the Death Hand bandits is in the central area of the Mingdou Mountains. They will only go down the mountain to rob as quickly as possible when they have a specific target.
The entire bandit group has about three hundred members, all of whom are young adults. Among them, soul masters account for about one-tenth of the number. There is no accurate information about the leader of the bandit group. I just know that he is a person with at least a cultivation level.
There is no way to know the abilities of soul masters who are above the soul king level.
The reason why there is so little information is because the hand of death never leaves anyone alive wherever it passes, and its methods are extremely cruel.
The latest information comes from about half a month ago. They robbed a group of merchants and then escaped into the Mingdou Mountains. The information has the general direction of their departure.
After three hours of meditation at noon, Sun Wukong and others began to march towards the Mingdou Mountains, but the speed of their march was not satisfactory.
It was getting dark and they had not yet reached the target. At Wang Yan's reminder, Ma Xiaotao ordered everyone to rest where they were and have dinner. However, this time they were not allowed to light a fire and could not enjoy Huo Yuhao's craftsmanship.
As soon as they rested, everyone relaxed. Ma Xiaotao approached Dai Yueheng and talked about his father, who was the leader of their regiment yesterday. At this time, Wang Yan quietly left alone.
Of course Sun Wukong saw this, and he didn't need to rest, so he just ate some solid food and followed him.
Wang Yancai walked for a while and was not far from the resting place. Sun Wukong quickly chased after him, "Teacher, where are you going?"
Wang Yan smiled and said, "I'll look for any clues. Do you want to come with me?"
Since Wang Yan invited him, Sun Wukong naturally had no reason to refuse and followed Wang Yan forward.
Sun Wukong opened the way in front, "Teacher, when you said you were looking for clues, you should see if you can determine our current location! There are only rough markings on the map, and the roads in the mountains are rugged and complicated. Are you worried that we are going in the wrong direction?"
Wang Yan smiled and said: "It's almost the same. I want to confirm where our progress is and that we have reached the area of the Mingdou Mountains. And this can be discovered through some natural factors. Look here."
Wang Yan pointed to a tree in front of him, "This is the Wenlan tree. The Wenlan tree is a relatively rare tree species. Its heart can be used as medicine and its trunk is as hard as iron. It is most suitable for making various furniture. Its growth is very good for
The air requirements are extremely high. Its living environment can only be found in places with extremely rich vegetation. I once read in an ancient book that the place where the Wenlan tree grows must go at least fifty miles deep into the dense forest to appear. This means
It means we have indeed entered the hinterland of the Mingdou Mountains."
"It seems that we are not far from that group of people." Sun Wukong looked at Wen Lanshu and said.
Wang Yan was a little curious and said, "Oh, how do you know this?"
Sun Wukong pointed at a Wenlan tree and said: "I can feel that this tree is shady and cool, so it should be very suitable for soul masters who practice cold and cold martial arts. The heart of the tree should have a very good supporting effect on cultivation.
Just walking along the way, I have seen a lot of carcasses with the heart of the tree dug out, so it is obvious."
Wang Yan looked at Sun Wukong and praised: "Yes, I discovered this just now. I just went forward specifically to confirm the location of the group. Now there is a road that has completely dug out the heart of the tree. There is a high probability that it will reach the end."
That’s their place.”
"It looks like it's time for us to go back." Looking at Wang Yan, Sun Wukong knew that Wang Yan would not let him act alone, so he had to take the initiative to go back.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and in the forest, it felt like I could barely see my fingers. At this moment, Wang Yan and Sun Wukong came back.
"Everyone, come here." Wang Yan waved, motioning everyone to come to him.
The students in the outer courtyard immediately took action, but the seven people in the inner courtyard seemed a little impatient. In terms of cultivation, Wang Yan was also the Soul King, just about the same as them, and he was the teacher of the outer courtyard. These students in the inner courtyard always only valued their strength.
They didn't have much respect for teachers whose cultivation was not better than theirs. But teachers were teachers after all, so they still gave them face.
Next, Wang Yan expressed his inference. He took the initiative to lead the team to find the evil soul master gang. Where Sun Wukong and he turned back, Wang Yan stopped and said: "I just found the destroyed Wen Lanshu
Among them, the traces of this one are the latest, which means it was the last one to be destroyed. Yuhao, use mental detection to search the surrounding area of thirty meters in diameter as carefully as possible."
"Yes." Immediately after the mental detection was turned on, the surrounding three-dimensional images appeared quickly. As expected, traces were found in their three o'clock direction. Next, Wang Yan found clues in some subtle places, such as trampled branches, ground
The shallow footprints left on the tree, the rags left on the tree branches, and the little blood stains left on the sharp thorns.
Following these clues, they gradually walked out of the woods in front of them, walking at this slow speed for more than half an hour.
"Stop." Wang Yan suddenly raised his hand. The students following him immediately squatted down and quickly approached him.
Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "The direction we are looking for should be right. There are a lot of footprints in front of us, and it is obvious that people have walked by often. The enemy should not be far away. Let's adjust our posture and prepare to fight."
The woods ahead have become very sparse. Through Huo Yuhao's mental detection and sharing, even Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng can clearly find those traces. Obviously, Wang Yan must have found the right place.
Sun Wukong has been watching Wang Yan lead the way. In fact, after Sun Wukong lost the eye disease of flaming eyes and golden eyes, with his original eyes, he had discovered these traces early, but he didn't want to show it too much, so he just watched Wang Yan perform, and finally achieved his goal.
land.
Next, Wang Yan confirmed that the target was at the bottom of the hillside on the left. The men and women separated and changed into Shrek supervisor attire.
When everyone gathered together again, looking at each other's covered bodies, everyone suddenly felt a sense of mystery. The cloak covered the head and body. It was very close to the body, and its material seemed to be the same as the inner armor.
It is thin and light but has great texture and has good defensive power.
Wang Yan whispered: "Get ready to go. Xiao Tao, it's you who will command the battle. I will be in charge of commanding the reserve team, and Sun Wukong will follow the disciples in the inner courtyard to participate in the battle."
"Okay." Ma Xiaotao agreed immediately. With a slight stoop, Ma Xiaotao jumped out first. Dai Yueheng and Chen Zifeng were on both sides of her, Sun Wukong was behind her, and the other four inner courtyard disciples were also
He acted quickly and quietly walked out while maintaining a strict formation.
A few seconds after they left, Wang Yancai waved his hand and followed with the reserve team.
