In the forest, six practitioners sat together. The energy fluctuations of these six people had reached the level of intermediate martial masters. Even the weakest one had the cultivation of a four-star martial master, and the two strongest ones had the energy fluctuations of a six-star martial master.
"What's the situation with the monsters?" The middle-aged man in the lead asked, looking at the burly man beside him.
Upon hearing this, the burly man said, "Junior Brother Zhang and the other two are keeping watch. In order not to be discovered, they dare not get too close. Currently everything is normal, and the monster is not making any movement."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but nodded. For this plan, they dispatched ten mid-level martial masters, including two six-star martial masters. They even spared no effort and time to eliminate the monsters around them, as they didn't want any accidents to occur during the action.
The middle-aged man nodded slightly, looked at the six-star martial master beside him, frowned, and said in a low voice, "Junior Brother Xue."
"Ah~Senior Brother Zhao." Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the six-star martial master was suddenly startled and responded quickly.
The middle-aged man's name is Zhao Chen. He is a mid-stage six-star martial master. Whether in terms of strength or combat experience, he is the strongest among everyone and has lived for hundreds of years.
Zhao Chen frowned when he heard this and asked, "Why, are you still thinking about Junior Brother Lu?"
“Master valued Junior Brother Lu the most. With Junior Brother Lu’s talent, he would have a good chance of becoming a high-level martial arts master in the future. I didn’t expect that he would die in the ancient city of Nanyan.” The man surnamed Xue sighed.
"It's a pity what happened to Junior Brother Lu." Zhao Chen nodded slightly and continued, "But now is the most critical moment. We have been preparing for this matter for such a long time, and we must not make any mistakes."
"Brother Zhao, don't worry. Xue Yan knows the seriousness of the matter." Upon hearing this, the man surnamed Xue immediately said in a serious tone.
Although he was very sad about Lu Feng's death, he even planned to go to Nanyan Ancient City to investigate in person, but because of Beihuang's incident, he had to give up this plan. Although he gave up the plan to go to Nanyan Ancient City, he learned from Gu Xingnan that the person who killed Lu Feng was probably the two people who fought with the Feng family in Tiemu City later, one of whom was named Feng Yan!
Seeing Xue Yan recover, Zhao Chen said nothing more. He looked at the burly man beside him and asked, "Does Junior Brother Zhou have any news?"
"There is no news yet. It seems that no other practitioners have been found entering this area." said the burly man.
Zhao Chen said solemnly, "No matter what, it is better to be careful. We have paid a heavy price this time, and we cannot afford to fail."
"yes."
As soon as these words were spoken, a look of determination flashed across the faces of the six people, including Xue Yan.
As time passed, the faces of the six people became more and more solemn, because the time for their planned action was getting closer and closer.
"Junior Brother Zhang and the others have sent news that the monster has woken up." At this moment, the burly man suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Zhao Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Wang, notify Junior Brother Zhou and the others to come and join us immediately."
"Yes." The burly man nodded, and quickly contacted Zhou Xuan and the other man who were patrolling the periphery through a messaging token.
"Huh?" Suddenly, the burly man's expression changed.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this scene, Zhao Chen's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and he suddenly felt uneasy. Now that the time has come, could something have gone wrong
"Junior Brother Zhou Xuan and the others didn't reply." The burly man said with a grim expression.
"Nothing will happen to them, right?" Xue Yan raised his eyebrows.
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the four people nearby changed. Seeing that they were about to take action, it was not a good sign if something happened at this time.
"Zhou Xuan and the other man are quite powerful. Even if they meet an ordinary six-star Martial Master, they should be able to hold out for a while. How come there is no news?" Zhao Chen said with a gloomy face.
Zhou Xuan and the other man were quite powerful. Even if they were in danger, they could at least send a message to inform them. However, they did not receive any message from them at all.
"Why don't I go out and check it out." The burly man said in a deep voice.
"It's too late. Now that things have come to this, the arrow is on the string and has to be shot. Everyone should be careful when we start." Zhao Chen heard this, but shook his head slightly and continued, "Maybe I'm just overthinking. There are many places in the Northern Wilderness where messages cannot be transmitted. Maybe Junior Brother Zhou Xuan and Junior Brother Zhou Xuan have just encountered such a situation."
Nature is magical and mysterious. There are some naturally formed dangerous places in the Northern Wilds where even high-level martial masters will perish if they enter. There are many places where communication is impossible in the Northern Wilds. Just from the records in the Wu Zhou Academy, there are many large areas, not to mention some small areas, which are countless. It is not impossible to encounter them.
"Let's go. With the strength of the eight of us, it is enough to complete the plan." Zhao Chen said seriously.
Xue Yan and the other four nodded slightly. At this point, it was impossible for them to abandon their long preparations and the opportunity before them just because of an unconfirmed danger.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Six figures flew by and headed towards the valley ahead.
…
When Zhao Chen and his six companions were rushing to the valley, two figures in the forest had already come out of the valley. They were Yang Qi and Feng Yan.
Feng Yan looked towards the valley, her expression stern, and said in a deep voice, "A five-star martial master-level monster."
When Feng Yan came to investigate the route, she simply used her flying martial arts to confirm the route, and did not go to the ground to investigate carefully. Therefore, she was not very clear about the specific strength of the monster in the valley. She only knew that the monster hidden in the valley was a mid-level martial arts master.
A five-star martial arts master's monster
Yang Qi's face changed. The strength of a five-star Martial Lord monster is at least close to that of a six-star Martial Lord cultivator, and it might be even stronger. Even if Feng Yan used all her strength, she would not be able to easily take down a monster of this level.
“No wonder the practitioners of Wu Zhou Academy have to eliminate the nearby monsters in advance. They must be afraid of being disturbed by other monsters.” Yang Qi thought to himself.
The monsters in the valley are much stronger than the surrounding monsters. According to Su Yunlie, the disciples of Wuzhou Academy are only at the mid-level Martial Master level, so it is not easy for them to deal with the monsters in the valley.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Yang Qi and the other man flashed and turned into two afterimages and flew into the valley.
Soon, the two came to the center of the valley. In the center of the valley was a huge lake. The entire lake was tens of thousands of feet in radius. In the center of the lake, there was a long snake that was hundreds of feet long and completely jet black. The long snake was lying on the surface of the lake, and there was no sign of its body sinking into the water at all.
"Xuankong Snake!"
Yang Qi's eyes fell on the long snake, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he slowly uttered three words. (To be continued)
