When they first entered the canyon, there were obviously very few strange beasts, and they were often not seen for tens of hundreds of miles. Afterwards, the number of strange beasts gradually increased, although it was still not comparable to before the war. But every ten or twenty miles, you can always see a strange beast, and most of them are not weak, and some have even reached the level of great sword masters.
After all, the Longyan Mountains are so big, no matter how powerful the ghost beast is, it is impossible to enslave all the beasts, and there will always be some fish that slip through the net.
Seeing humans, those strange beasts instinctively showed hostility, but they did not attack rashly like those controlled by ghost beasts. Mu Hanyan and others were so focused on their way that they didn't bother to provoke them.
To put it in detail, alien beasts and humans are the common masters of this continent, but the battle for hegemony millions of years ago ended with the defeat of the alien beasts, and then the alien beasts retreated into the Longyan Mountains to live alone. However, human cultivators often enter the Longyan Mountains to hunt alien beasts in order to improve their strength or tame sword pets. This time, under the control of ghost beasts, the alien beasts are all moving to start wars against human nations. Judging from the current situation, it is also true. The casualties were heavy, so Mu Hanyan didn't want to kill them all.
But the strange thing is that in the past few hours, Mu Hanyan has never seen a strange beast again, and there is silence in the mountains, which makes people feel a little weird.
Huayue and the others also noticed something strange, and their expressions became extremely dignified.
Suddenly, the little Qiongqi in front of him stopped, looked up and looked east and west, as if he was looking for something.
It was only then that Mu Hanyan and others discovered that the surrounding mountains were undulating, faintly forming a huge basin and valley, and the basin was not flat, but also had undulating mountains, but the mountains were much lower and surrounded by that area. In the basin.
The valleys are shrouded in clouds and mists, and the mountains appear and disappear from time to time, just like the legendary fairyland.
Mu Hanyan looked at the rolling hills that appeared and disappeared at that time, feeling a little familiar.
Where did you see it? Mu Hanyan began to think carefully.
Suddenly, Mu Hanyan's eyes lit up, and she took out the pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants presented by Han Jinglun. Isn't the misty mountain shown on the jade pendants very similar to the misty valley in front of her
After careful investigation with his spiritual sense, Mu Hanyan soon discovered that there was a mysterious aura hidden in this valley, which was desolate and far away, with infinite mystery.
Nine times out of ten, this is where the ancestors of the Han and Tang families found the ancient relics!
Didn't Xiao Qiongqi bring them to rescue Xia Youchen? How did he find this place? Although Mu Hanyan was puzzled, it was more of an unexpected surprise.
The mountain presented on the dragon and phoenix jade pendant is too ethereal. Judging from Mu Hanyan's experience of traveling the world in her previous life, even if she deliberately looks for it, she may not be able to find any clues for decades. This is how I found it.
Xiao Qiongqi let out a low cry, and rushed into the valley at the station first. Mu Hanyan didn't think too much, and led the crowd to follow. As long as Ye Lan is by his side, unless he meets the mysterious black-clothed master last time, there are really few people or strange beasts in this world who can hurt them, so Mu Hanyan doesn't need to be too cautious.
As soon as they entered the valley, everyone was shrouded in thick mist, and they couldn't see people clearly when they were more than ten feet away. The hills and hills in the valley were lined with huge boulders. Walking through it was like entering a huge maze.
Fortunately, with Xiao Qiongqi leading the way, Mu Hanyan and the others didn't have to bother to find the way.
But after following Xiao Qiongqi for more than an hour, they realized that something was wrong. After circling east and west in a big circle, they unexpectedly returned to the entrance of the valley.
Xiao Qiongqi danced and yelled in anxiety.
"What did it say?" Ye Yanran asked Mu Hanyan, suppressing the anxiety in her heart.
"It said it could sense Senior Xia's breath, but it couldn't find it anyway," Mu Hanyan said.
In fact, there is also a master-servant contract between Xiao Qiongqi and Xia Youchen, what it senses is not Xia Youchen's breath, but the subtle connection between divine thoughts. What Xiao Qiongqi said proved that Xia Youchen was still alive, which made Mu Hanyan slightly relieved.
"Then how is my great-grandfather?" Ye Yanran asked again.
"I'm afraid it's not very good." Mu Hanyan replied. In fact, from Qiongqi's anxious look since he was a child, he could guess that Xia Youchen's situation is not good, otherwise it wouldn't be in such a hurry.
"What the hell is this place?" After listening to Mu Hanyan's words, and looking at Xiao Qiongqi's appearance of spinning back and forth in a hurry, Ye Yanran was furious and anxious, and kicked hard at the huge boulder in front of her. But he gritted his teeth and cracked his mouth in pain.
Jiang Yuzhe drew out his long sword without hesitation, and slashed out with a heavy blow.
Following the sword light, a powerful cyclone rolled out like a storm. If it was an ordinary mist, it could be blown away by a gust of wind, not to mention the cyclone storm created by a single strike by a ninth-level sword master.
But one time, the result was beyond everyone's expectations. Jiang Yuzhe's sword sank like a stone sinking into the sea, and the storm whirls past, and the cloud that looks as soft as gauze does not change at all, or even fluctuate at all.
"What's going on here?" Jiang Yuzhe was surprised.
"If I'm not mistaken, there is an ancient relic hidden in the valley. This cloud and mist is formed by the ancient relic's defense formation, and it cannot be broken by this method." Ye Lan replied.
"Then what should we do?" Jiang Yuzhe asked.
"Either break through the defensive formation, or you can only find a way to get through the fog and find a way to enter the ancient ruins." Ye Lanyu replied, and then added, "But the defensive formation is hidden in the ancient ruins In the middle, if we are outside it, if we want to break it, I am afraid it is better to find the passage honestly."
Everyone's hearts sank. There is a contractual relationship between Xiaoqiongqi and Xia Youchen. Even it can only sense Xia Youchen's aura, but it can't find the passage to enter the ancient ruins. They slammed like flies, and it was not easy for them to find the passage.
"Why don't we search separately?" Jiang Yuzhe said tentatively.
"If you search separately, even if you find the passage, we won't be able to find you. Are you going to die alone?" Jiang Yuzhe's appearance didn't hurt Jiang Yuzhe this time, but he still said very bluntly.
The others frowned and remained silent.
Although I don't know what exactly happened to Xia Youchen, but his reputation as the Beast Master Sword Master is by no means in vain. He was dragged down by Xiao Qiongqi in the past, so he was unable to recover his strength for a long time. With the beast soul relic obtained from Feilai Peak, Xiao Qiongqi no longer needs to gain strength from him. I believe that Xia Youchen's strength should have almost recovered, and he will definitely not be weaker than them. Even Huayue and the others would be equally helpless to deal with an enemy that was difficult for him to deal with, and might even involve himself in it.
