When Tianyang had already seen the nameless city in the darkness, at this moment, in the Scarlet Forest, more teams were still wandering in the middle of the forest.
Not every team has the strength to break through the forest quickly, especially since the Scarlet Forest is a 'living' forest. The deeper you go, the more obvious the forest's malice becomes.
A large number of strange plants will interfere with and even attack humans in endless ways.
What's more, there are a large number of people living in the cracks.
In addition to ghosts and zombies, the residents living in the secret realm begin to reveal their mysterious figures in front of people who gradually go deeper into the forest.
In addition to the blood-sucking monsters that Tianyang discovered, there are also ghost-like monsters that are also incorporeal but appear in the form of human women. These "female ghosts" can make screams that drive humans insane, and under the influence of their screams, they will even turn their swords against their own kind.
These dark creatures, known as "Screaming Demoness", have their eyes as their will prison. They can be killed by attacking their eyes, but that is not an easy task.
In addition, there is a terrible black people in the middle of the forest. They like to hide in the dark, hiding in places where people don't expect. They will not take the initiative to attack. They always release fog in secret that can create various effects. Those fogs can make the body rot, some can make people fall into sleep for no reason, and some can quietly suck your blood.
They have no fixed form. They are described as a mass of evil shadows that cling to various objects. When they appear, the temperature around them drops and slight traces of frost appear on the ground and leaves.
The threat level of this kind of illegal citizens is already very high, especially to the team and the army, and they pose a serious threat to multiple targets.
The Bastion side calls them the 'Hidden Ones'.
... ... ..
On the northwest side of the Scarlet Forest, dozens of kilometers away from the exploration route of the Yun family team, a temporary camp was built on a clearing in the middle of the forest.
In the main tent of the camp, Xie Hong opened his eyes.
How long have I slept
An hour
Half an hour? Or 10 minutes
The host of the Xie family stood up with a sigh, rubbed his eyebrows, picked up the communicator and checked the latest battle report.
Judging from the updated information, the Yun and Bai families' teams have shown signs of breaking through the forest, entering the dark area, and approaching the nameless city.
At this time, most of the teams were still in the middle of the forest, with only the Gao and Ling families from the upper five gates positioned relatively forward.
They are following closely behind the Yun family and the Bai family, and will break out of the forest by tomorrow at the latest.
There is no need to compare with the other five sects. They have a profound foundation, sufficient supplies, and countless strong people.
Other families simply cannot compare to them.
But compared with the families at the same level, the Xie family was far behind. Looking at the ranking in the battle report, Xie Hong cursed the group of "Qing Lao" in his heart, starting from the eighteenth generation of his ancestors!
If that old guy hadn't been so blind as to provoke the Yun family, then now, even if they didn't obey orders, they would at least be the Xie family's team on the surface.
A team led by a strong person at level 6 should be able to lead the Xie family to catch up with the top five sects.
Instead of being left behind by families of the same level as they are now, there are even one or two families whose reputation and resources were inferior to those of the Xie family before the competition.
Now, the Xie family needs to catch up with them.
"waste!"
Xie Hong couldn't help but curse, but then he didn't have the energy to curse anymore. Now he had to use every bit of his energy to hurry on and
In terms of breakthrough, they must avoid being left too far behind by other families. After returning, the Xie family would be too embarrassed to continue staying in the fortress.
Why is it happening like that.
Xie Hong rubbed his cheeks with his hands. Before this year, the family seemed to be prosperous.
He served in the Storm, participated in the war against the Black Prince, and had a certain degree of command power.
The family consists of several brothers, including Xie Yuan, who support the family.
The only shortcoming is that the third generation cannot be connected, but what does it matter? With sufficient resources, even if they are just piled up, one or two masters can be piled up.
But in a family competition, the Xie family suffered a heavy loss. From personnel to property, the losses were serious. This time, in order to revive, they did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to bring in an outsider like "Qing Lao".
But the result... .
"Is this the end of the luck of my Xie family?"
As Xie Hong sighed, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the tent. He was already annoyed, and when he heard the noise, he became even more impatient. He looked up and shouted, "Why are you making so much noise? What about discipline?"
Coming from a military background, Xie Hong manages his family members like an army, with extremely strict discipline, and will never allow such things to happen in the camp.
With a loud noise, a member of the Xie family team rushed in. Ignoring Xie Hong's angry eyes, he shouted, "Oh no, Fourth Master, the black people are coming."
Xie Hong's eyes flashed with brilliance: "Just charge over and kill him, there's no need to panic!"
The team member smiled bitterly and said, "Master Si, this time it's different. There are a lot of black civilians, and they are like crazy."
"crazy?"
Xie Hong opened the tent and walked out. Suddenly, a terrifying murderous aura came towards him. With his strength, he felt a chill in his heart when he was rushed by this murderous aura, let alone other people.
Under the fire and lights of the camp, a large number of ghosts and zombies emerged from the depths of the forest. The ghosts were glowing red, and the zombies' eyes were also glowing red. They ignored the artillery fire from the camp and let it kill them, and then they were killed by their own kind behind them.
The Xie family's team was already lacking in combat power, and under such an attack, their defense line retreated again and again.
The unpleasant cries of the blood-sucking monsters were heard again in the forest. Those long-haired monsters flapped their soft wings and roared down from the sky above the dense forest, throwing spears and blood balls that could contaminate the blood, further tightening the Xie family's defense line.
In just a few moments, the camp's defenses were breached, and in the blink of an eye, two or three Ascendants were overwhelmed by the black people.
Xie Hong drew out his sword and rushed forward, asking the warning team members to hold tight: "Fourth Master, retreat quickly, while there is still time. If it's too late, I'm afraid..."
Xie Hong was about to say something when he suddenly felt another mixed but crazy aura coming from deep in the forest.
This means that there is a second group of crazy black people, and a large number of them are coming to kill us.
"how so!"
"how so!"
Xie Hong reluctantly issued the order to evacuate, and led the remaining team members back along the way, fleeing for their lives.
In fact, such things did not only happen to the Xie family.
In the Scarlet Forest, a large number of black people and plants were like crazy, "driving away" the outsiders.
Under this circumstance, apart from the teams that were close to the edge of the forest or even broke through the forest, only the fortress army with a large number of armaments, strong men, and personnel could go upstream.
As for the other families, they were lucky to escape. The less fortunate ones were drowned in the forest's counterattack.
Tianyang and others are still unaware of all this.
At the edge of the Scarlet Forest, Yunfeng emerges from the forest
I crawled through the wood and immediately felt the vastness of the world. Even though it was dark all around, the feeling of the vastness of the sky and the earth still came over me.
He looked back, the corners of his mouth raised.
At this moment, he had an idea and looked up. Under the light, Tianyang's figure accelerated several times and appeared in front of him.
Yunfeng said with emotion: "If I don't take it seriously, I can't keep up with you."
Tianyang smiled and pointed ahead, saying, "The nameless city is about seven or eight kilometers away from the edge of the forest. There are no trees along the way, but you have to pass through a canyon."
"The canyon is not big. I didn't go deep into it, but I just felt that there was a scent of illegal activities in the canyon. The specific number, type, and strength are still unknown. My suggestion is to rest here for a while before entering the canyon."
Yunfeng nodded happily and said, "It's up to you."
He called Zilong again and asked the team to explore the canyon. As for Tianyang, he naturally got a chance to rest.
The Yun family's team was resting in the open space at the edge of the forest. Tianyang sat alone in a corner, took out a purified water bottle and replenished his water.
On the way here, he used the kettle to fetch water from a stream, and now when he drank it, it was indeed drinkable.
Footsteps sounded, and a deep and condensed aura like a mountain approached him. Tianyang didn't need to look back, and Feiyuan's figure naturally appeared in his mind.
The red-haired man, who had disliked Tianyang at first, sat down next to the boy without saying a word and handed him a portion of wild food.
Tianyang was stunned for a moment, but still took it and said, "Thank you."
Fei Yuan said in a muffled voice: "I admit that I underestimated you at the beginning. You are very good, very good, but don't get me wrong, I still don't like you!"
He looked away: "But you are really strong. You were able to escape from that old man. If it were me, I would have died nine times out of ten."
So this is what you wanted to say.
Tian Yang ate the food provided by Fei Yuan and nodded, "I agree with this. If you meet that old man with long eyebrows, you will definitely die."
"What!"
Fei Yuan stood up suddenly, looking ferocious, but after a moment, he sat back down and snorted, "You are not modest at all."
Tian Yang smiled calmly and said, "Everyone has their own strengths. I am good at running away and killing people from behind. But if I have to fight my opponent head-on like you, I am far inferior to you."
Fei Yuan looked at the face elsewhere, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but he sighed: "Although I don't want to admit it, but that savage is really strong. Just based on the basic quality of his body, he can swing such a heavy sword."
"Moreover, he has a lot of combat experience. His sword moves and sword moves are the kind of fighting style that can easily decide life and death. This guy must have fought his way through the battlefield. Such a person is very scary."
Tian Yang said seriously: "Next time you face him, don't fight him with swords, play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, and attack his left side."
Fei Yuan turned around, looking confused.
Tian Yang smiled and said, "I observed carefully last time. That guy is used to using his right hand. There were several times when you turned to the left, and he immediately adjusted his stance."
"This shows that he is not very good at the left position, whether attacking or defending."
Fei Yuan opened his mouth slightly, and after a moment, he sighed: "I hope we won't become enemies. It seems that you are much more terrifying than I thought."
At this moment, Iron Lion, who was somewhere, felt an itch in his nose and sneezed.
He touched his nose and muttered, "What's going on with this feeling? I have a bad feeling that I'm being watched..."
