The red sun finally sank below the horizon, fading its orange color, and the world fell into misty darkness. The three flying cranes were several miles apart and flew slowly towards the seaside. It could be seen that the flying cranes were exhausted.
The man in front suddenly whistled and took the lead to land downwards, stopping in an open place. The two people behind him circled twice and landed after them. The three of them put away their mounts and sat on the ground to rest and recover their strength.
"Brother Bao, don't you have to be so desperate today?" A cultivator complained as he rubbed his sore calves. The guy he called Brother Bao was a skinny guy. He was none other than Shen Xiaobao, who devalued himself as the scout captain.
Shen Xiaobao took out a jade bottle and poured out six spiritual beans. Three of them were fed to the three mounts, and two more were thrown to the two team members. The two team members hurriedly took it, carefully put it into their mouths and swallowed it, looking like they were enjoying it. Nowadays, supplies are in short supply, and spiritual beans are rationed on demand, so everyone cherishes them very much.
Shen Xiaobao swallowed one himself and said: "We should be almost at the Duxian Sea. Brothers, please work harder. Rest for half an hour and then fly again to find out if the giant ship is still there!"
The two team members with tired faces could only nod their heads. Shen Xiaobao couldn't help but feel a little guilty. The two brothers had been following him day and night for three days, barely even closing their eyes, and now their eyes were still bloodshot.
"Brother Bao, I can still hold on, but I'm afraid the mount can't!" One of the team members looked at Feihe, who couldn't even stand still, and said worriedly.
Shen Xiaobao was also a little confused. He stood up and walked to a high place to look around. He raised his hands and felt the whistling mountain wind. There was a faint salty smell in the air, which was the unique smell of the sea.
"This place is definitely not far from the sea. Let's run for a while!" Shen Xiaobao said as he walked back from a high place.
The two team members immediately grimaced. Seeing this, Shen Xiaobao couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Look at you guys, forget it, you guys rest here, I'll do the hard work myself!"
The two team members immediately stood up: "Brother Bao, how can this be done? We have to go together!"
There were originally fifteen people in the scout team, but most of them were killed or injured along the way. Only five of them could still carry out their missions. The remaining team members have long since become good brothers in life and death. They are not afraid of death, let alone walk an extra mile. .
"This is decent!" Shen Xiaobao laughed and scolded.
Since the last time his recklessness led to a catastrophe, the carefree Shen Xiaobao has changed a lot and looks much calmer. Coupled with this monkey's flexible body and sharp mind, he is a natural scout. With him leading the scout team to explore the road ahead, it saved a lot of trouble, and the team encountered no major obstacles along the way. Chu Jun and others were able to approach Duxian Sea within three days with their wounded soldiers, largely due to the outstanding performance of the scout team.
The three of them rested for half an hour, put their horses into the feeding ring, and climbed up the mountain on foot toward the seaside. The three of them walked forward sweating profusely for two hours. The sea breeze felt stronger, and the sound of the waves could even be faintly heard.
Shen Xiaobao was shocked and whispered: "We will reach the seaside soon, please work harder!"
The two team members were also very excited, but they said anxiously: "Brother Bao, if the ship has left, then we...!"
Shen Xiaobao stopped, and the two team members behind him also stopped!
Without a boat, it would be impossible for everyone to cross the endless waves and treacherous waves of the Immortal Sea, and staying in the Ancient Plains Continent would obviously be a dead end.
"I hope the ship is still there!" Shen Xiaobao looked at the increasingly dark ridge in the distance.
The two team members couldn't help but fell silent. Shen Xiaobao's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he made a quick gesture. The two team members immediately dispersed and lay down in a alert manner. Along the way, their cooperation had been very tacit.
Shen Xiaobao was lying on the ground, staring at the valley in the distance with sharp eyes. Just now he noticed a flash of light from a magic weapon, and it was obvious that there was someone hiding in the valley. After observing quietly for a while, Shen Xiaobao gestured backward, and then moved towards the valley as quickly as a monkey. The two team members were thirty meters apart and slowly approached. At this distance, even if the person in front is discovered, the person behind still has a chance to escape calmly.
Shen Xiaobao sneaked to the valley and took a look. He was startled at first, because there were nearly ten people at the entrance of the valley. After a closer look, he couldn't help showing a strange look on his face, and said to himself: "There's a good show!" He waved to the man behind him. Team members come up.
This team member cleverly sneaked up to Shen Xiaobao, and Shen Xiaobao sent a message: "Chang Shu, tell Wu Chao to rush back and report immediately, just say...!"
Chang She glanced at the valley, nodded, and retreated quickly. Those who can join the scout team are all highly cultivated, clever and agile guys. Chang Shu and Wu Chao are the best among them, second only to Shen Xiaobao in technical work, and no one in the valley noticed at all.
"Hey, old witch, you have today too!" Shen Xiaobao secretly gloated in his heart.
It turned out that it was the people of Tenghuang Pavilion in the valley. At this time, Master Wen Yue was in a state of shock and anger. His face was trembling slightly with anger, and he angrily shouted: "Beitanggui, do you want to rebel?"
Beitanggui placed his long sword on Master Wen Yue's neck and said calmly: "Elder Wen Yue, you insist on going your own way, so I have no choice but to make this move. I believe you don't want our sect to be destroyed, right?"
It turned out that Master Wen Yue proposed a method of robbing foreign cultivators halfway to seize the spiritual crystals. Beitanggui and the disciples of Tenghuang Pavilion also thought it was feasible, so they immediately took action, preparing to ambush in the valley and attack the passing foreign cultivators. Unfortunately, their luck was not ordinary. After guarding for an entire afternoon, not even a single bird feather passed by, let alone the outside cultivators.
Seeing that it would be dawn in a few hours, Beitanggui made a sudden attack on Wen Yue and Huang Bing, sealed their spiritual power, and prepared to force Huang Bing to exchange for the chance to board the ship tomorrow.
"Beitang Gui, you are so shameless!" Huang Bing yelled angrily.
Beitanggui said disapprovingly: "Huang Bing, I wouldn't have made such a move unless it was absolutely necessary. I can only wrong you. I am willing to bear the infamy, but I also want to save some of the firepower of Tenghuang Pavilion. Even if the master of the pavilion knows about it in the future, I'm afraid You will understand my hard work!”
Master Wen Yue was so angry that he couldn't speak because of Beitang's hypocritical and righteous expression. He spat out a mouthful of blood as he squirted.
Huang Bing was shocked and shouted sternly: "Beitanggui, let Elder Wen Yue go immediately. Don't even try to use some high-sounding excuses to cover up your ugly face. You are just a shameless and cowardly person who is afraid of death!"
Shen Xiaobao was hiding in the dark, and when he saw Master Wen Yue vomiting blood, he couldn't help but feel happy. He had long disliked this old witch, and now he was reaping the consequences. However, this Beitang Gui is not a good bird. In order to survive, he even attacks his fellow disciples. It seems that he wants to use Ice Beauty to make some kind of deal.
Bei Tanggui was hurt by Huang Bing's scolding. He couldn't help but became angry and shouted: "Tie her up!"
"Who dares!" Master Wen Yue shouted sternly.
The other disciples of Tenghuang Pavilion couldn't help but look at each other. Although Wen Yue was restrained by the Beitang elder, no one dared to step forward to tie up Huang Bing due to the accumulated power.
"Tie up Huang Bing!" Beitanggui shouted in a loud voice: "Whoever disobeys the order will not have to board the ship tomorrow!"
As soon as these words came out, all the disciples rushed forward to tie up Huang Bing, for fear that they would not be able to board the ship tomorrow if they fell behind. Shen Xiaobao couldn't help but feel anxious, hesitating whether to rescue him, but then he thought about it, there was no way he could be a match for Beitang Gui and so many people. If he took action rashly, he would only get involved, so he had to wait for Chu Jun. Let’s talk about it later. Anyway, Huang Bing is not in danger of life now.
"Get out of here!" Huang Bing snarled angrily, with a flash of cold light in his hand, and the Ice Phoenix Sword was launched. The pressure of the fourth-grade sword immediately scared away the people surrounding him.
Bei Tanggui's eyelids twitched, with a look of greed in his eyes, and shouted: "Don't be afraid, her spiritual power has been sealed and she can't exert her power at all!"
When the disciples heard this, it was like waking up from a dream!
Huang said coldly: "Whoever dares to come here will kill myself with my sword. Let's see what deal you make tomorrow!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was immediately shocked and did not dare to step forward to take action again!
Huang Bing looked at the hesitant faces and felt that they were extremely ugly and pitiful. Everyone was swept away by Huang Bing's mocking ethereal eyes and immediately looked away in shame.
"Originally, I planned to use this Ice Phoenix Sword as a mortgage in exchange for shipping money. Haha, it seems like it was a waste of time. It's not worth it for you people!" Huang Bing's voice ended coldly.
Everyone's eyes lit up, but soon turned into shame and regret!
Beitanggui coughed dryly and said, "Huang Bing, even if you use the Ice Phoenix Sword as a mortgage, others may not agree!"
Those regretful Tenghuang Pavilion disciples immediately felt no regrets after hearing this!
"Huang Bing, how about this? If the other party agrees to use the Ice Phoenix Sword as a mortgage, I won't force you to use yourself as a bargaining chip, but if the other party doesn't agree, then you will have to be wronged!" Beitang Gui said shyly: "As long as everyone boards the ship smoothly tomorrow, I will let Elder Wen Yue go!"
Master Wen Yue said in a deep voice: "Bing'er, don't believe him. No matter whether we can successfully board the ship tomorrow or not, he will never let me go!"
Beitanggui frowned and said: "Wen Yue, I'm not a murderous person, not to mention that you and I have been friends for decades, how could I kill you? If I didn't have to, I wouldn't do it to you! "
"Bah, Beitanggui, you are a beast who even insulted his own female disciples. The Pavilion Master should not have let you go back then!" Master Wen Yue scolded angrily.
As soon as these words came out, all the disciples were stunned. Shen Xiaobao, who was hiding in the dark, was furious and secretly cursed the old beast. He really wanted to rush out and slap the old guy in the face.
Beitang Gui's face turned red and white. Not many people in the sect knew about this shameful thing, only Master Wen Yue and the Pavilion Master. At this time, Master Wen Yue shook it out in front of everyone, Beitang Gui was shocked and shocked. Angry, murderous intent suddenly arose in his heart.
"Anyway, Wen Yue has been completely offended. Leaving her behind will definitely be a big disaster. Let's just kill her!" Bei Changgui's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Upon seeing this, Huang Bing shouted hurriedly: "If you dare to kill Elder Wen Yue, I will kill myself immediately!"
