Along the way, he encountered many evil spirits and fighting spirits, but they were all dealt with skillfully by Luo Qiang.
Because these fighting spirits and evil spirits are not very strong, they are not qualified for Wutan to take action.
When they passed over a group of rocks, Luo Qiang killed another evil spirit and asked in confusion: "Master, I don't understand why you asked the Bird Saint to take us flying? Are you in a hurry?"
Wu Tian said in a deep voice: "If we go too late, Dugu Kai and the others will die at the hands of the people in the heaven."
"Did people from heaven also go there to look for us?" Luo Qiang was surprised.
Wu Tian nodded and said, "Not long ago, when we just arrived at the foot of the mountain, I sensed that there were many auras lingering in the air. It was just too chaotic, so I didn't know who they were at the time. But after listening to Leng Yue's story, I dared to conclude that the owners of those auras must be people from the heaven."
Luo Qiang was shocked and said, "According to what you said, Xuanyuan Wuqing and others have already fallen into the hands of the heavens, right?"
Wu Tian said: "Of course, the people in the heaven spread the news that Xuanyuan God and Zhan Luo were captured. It is obvious that they want to lure Xuanyuan Wuqing and others into the trap. As long as they go, they will definitely not return."
After a pause, he continued, "Now that Xuanyuan Wuqing and others have been captured one after another, the people of the Heavenly Realm will naturally launch a cleanup operation to eliminate all the other people in the Holy Realm."
Luo Qiang frowned and said, "The exclusive domains of the nine war bodies are all killer weapons that defy the heavens. Can the heavens capture them?"
“Although the exclusive domain is powerful, don’t forget that all the people in the heaven are great and perfect supreme beings. If I’m not mistaken, the people in the heaven may have all gathered together. Facing the joint attack of more than a thousand great and perfect supreme beings, let alone the nine war bodies, even I now can only avoid the edge temporarily.” Wutan sneered.
Luo Qiang said disdainfully: "Xuanyuan Wuqing and the others are really idiots. Master, you guessed it right away that it was a trap, but they actually ran to die."
Wu Tian said: "It's not that they are stupid, it's that the methods of the heaven are too sophisticated. Don't underestimate the heaven. They also have several tough opponents, such as Jiang Moshan, Ni Yeye, and Huangfu Yi. They are all shrewd and calculating people. When facing them, you can't be careless."
Luo Qiang chuckled and said, "No matter how good they are at scheming, they are not as scheming as you, Master!"
"This is not calculation, it is wisdom."
Wu Tian rolled his eyes at him, closed his eyes, and integrated his body and mind into nature.
Soon, he caught hundreds of breaths in the air.
Judging from the strength of the aura, it should have been left behind two hours ago.
Wu Tian said: "Bird Saint, please speed up."
Bird Saint said helplessly: "This is my limit."
Wu Tian said: "Then burn your vitality. I have more than a dozen bottles of fourth-stage blood. You can spend it as you like."
"You should have said it earlier!"
The Bird Saint chuckled, and blood-red flames immediately emerged from his body, and his speed increased suddenly.
With its life force burning, it can fly at a speed of almost ten miles in one breath!
If the Great Perfection Supreme Being does not burn his vitality, he can only take one step for two miles, which is a difference of five times!
Wu Tian also believed that the people in heaven would not burn their vitality while chasing Dugu Kai and others.
Therefore, the gap of two hours can be narrowed quickly.
at the same time.
Jiang Moshan and two hundred men appeared in front of a dense jungle.
They all looked around carefully, looking for signs.
Suddenly, the eyes of a middle-aged man next to Jiang Moshan lit up.
He pointed to a large tree at the edge of the jungle and said, "Deputy Commander, there is a mark on the trunk."
Jiang Moshan looked in the direction he was looking and indeed saw the word "nine".
Next to the word, there is an arrow symbol.
Moreover, the marks are very new.
"Walk!"
Jiang Moshan waved his hand, and two hundred people rushed into the jungle like a group of jackals.
But for the next half hour, they were unable to find the next sign.
Jiang Moshan's brows gradually furrowed.
After running for about a hundred breaths, he felt something was not right. He waved his hand and everyone stopped.
The middle-aged man stepped forward, glanced around, and said, "Deputy Commander, could the remnants of the Saint Realm be hiding somewhere in this jungle?"
Jiang Moshan said in a deep voice: "Search, don't let go of any place."
"yes."
The middle-aged man responded respectfully, turned his head and looked at the crowd behind him, and said, "People from the Saint Realm are most likely hiding nearby. Everyone, spread out and search carefully. If you find anything, don't alert the enemy and come back to report to the deputy commander first."
Everyone nodded.
Then, everyone spread out and began a carpet search.
Jiang Moshan glanced at the front of the jungle, his eyes flickering.
Suddenly, he leaped up and easily climbed up a big tree. He stood on the top of the tree and looked around.
On both sides of the jungle, as well as in front, are winding, undulating, and steep mountain ranges.
"If I were them, which direction of the mountains would I choose to enter?"
"Is it in front?"
"The left?"
"Or on the right?"
Jiang Moshan muttered, it was really hard to judge, because the mountains in three directions were very suitable for hiding.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a loud bang exploded in the jungle.
At the same time, a terrifying destructive force was born, sweeping in all directions. In a certain area of the jungle on the left, all the bushes and ancient trees were reduced to ashes in an instant!
Jiang Moshan turned his head and saw three of his companions fighting with a great perfect supreme fighting spirit.
His face darkened slightly, and he shouted, "People nearby, go and provide support immediately!"
Upon hearing the news, more than 30 people who were searching near the area immediately rushed towards the battlefield.
More than thirty people joined forces and quickly wiped out the fighting spirit, but five of them were also seriously injured.
Evil spirits can be restrained by lightning, but fighting spirits can only be eliminated by force.
It is not surprising that five people were seriously injured.
Next, more than a dozen battles broke out one after another.
This means that there are more than a dozen evil spirits and fighting spirits lurking in the jungle.
Moreover, they are all the Great Perfection Supreme.
Fortunately, Jiang Moshan brought enough people, otherwise he would have really been caught here.
However, after more than a dozen battles, more than thirty people from the Heaven Realm were killed.
But from beginning to end, Jiang Moshan did not take any action.
Always in deep thought.
As time went by, people who went to search around came back one after another.
The middle-aged man looked up at Jiang Moshan who was standing on the treetop, and said with a folded hand, "Deputy Commander, we have searched the entire jungle, and found no traces or signs of the remnants of the Saint Realm."
Jiang Moshan remained silent, lowered his head, touched his chin with his right hand, and frowned.
There was a hint of doubt in the eyes of the middle-aged man and others, but no one spoke to disturb them.
Because they all knew that Deputy Commander Jiang was thinking about something.
The moment has come!
Suddenly!
Jiang Moshan's body trembled, and he said, "No, the people from the Saint Realm should not have entered the jungle!"
Then.
He jumped down, landed on the ground, and shouted, "Return the way you came and exit the jungle!"
The middle-aged man was stunned and asked in confusion: "Deputy Commander, shouldn't we move forward?"
Jiang Moshan sneered: "The people from the Holy Realm have not entered the jungle at all."
The middle-aged man asked, "How is that possible? Doesn't the mark clearly point to the jungle?"
Jiang Moshan said: "There are more than a dozen fighting spirits and evil spirits lurking in the jungle. If they enter the jungle, how could there not be any traces of fighting? Moreover, with their current strength, those dozen fighting spirits and evil spirits are enough to annihilate them!"
After hearing this, the middle-aged man and others suddenly came to their senses.
No one questioned anymore and followed Jiang Moshan, quickly exiting the jungle.
After exiting the jungle, Jiang Moshan stood in front of the big tree with the word "nine" carved on it, looked at it carefully, and said in a deep voice: "There is indeed a problem."
"what is the problem?"
The middle-aged man was puzzled.
He was also observing, but he didn't see anything wrong at all.
Jiang Moshan said: "Look at the stroke of the number nine. There is a not very obvious scratch on it. It's not a number nine at all. It's a number 'wan'."
Everyone looked carefully and found that, as expected, if the incision was deepened a little, wouldn't it be the character "丸"
The middle-aged man asked, "Deputy Commander, could it be that the people from the Saint Realm have discovered that we are chasing them? So they put up a fake mark to lure us?"
Jiang Moshan shook his head and said, "Don't think too much, this is just a cautious measure."
The middle-aged man asked, "So how do we find it now?"
Jiang Moshan said, "They have been here before, no doubt. There must be signs nearby. Go and look carefully."
The crowd dispersed again.
"etc."
But suddenly, Jiang Moshan shouted.
"What's the matter?"
Everyone stopped and looked at him in confusion.
Jiang Moshan ignored everyone, squatted on the ground, and reached out to pull away the weeds around the roots of the tree.
Immediately, the word "nine" came into view!
The word "Nine" is carved at the root of a big tree. It is covered by weeds all around and is generally difficult to find.
But the careful Jiang Moshan noticed it.
The tips of the weeds in other places are basically tilted towards the west, but the weeds at the roots of the big trees are messy and disorderly.
This abnormality obviously means there is something wrong!
Sure enough, when he pulled away the weeds, the real mark immediately appeared.
After seeing the mark on the root, the middle-aged man said admiringly: "Deputy Commander, you are really meticulous. If it were us, we would never find it."
A Great Perfection Supreme beside him teased: "If you can find out, you will be the deputy commander."
The others burst into laughter.
Jiang Moshan shook his head and smiled, "Okay, okay, stop flattering me. The direction the arrow is pointing to is due south. Let's keep looking."
"good."
Everyone nodded and followed Jiang Moshan in pursuit towards the south along the edge of the jungle.
Soon, the group arrived at the mountains.
After searching for a while, Jiang Moshan found a 'nine' sign on a black rock.
The direction the arrow points to is deep into the mountains!
Jiang Moshan and others continued to advance into the mountains.
After the group disappeared into the deep mountains and forests, the Bird Saint flew across the sky and landed in front of the jungle.
"Hey, Master, why are there two symbols on that tree trunk?"
Luo Qiang noticed the mark on the tree at the first moment and asked in confusion.
Wu Tian looked at it carefully and shook his head, saying, "There is a 'wan' on top and a nine on the bottom. This should be a method used by Dugu Kai and his men to confuse the enemy. But now that the grass has been pulled apart, the people in the heavens must have discovered this. Let's go and fly due south."
The Bird Saint carried Wutan and the other man and quickly followed the markings and disappeared into the vast mountains.
