Chapter 810: A Mysterious Fork in the Road

With the help of Xiao Yeguo, except for Tang Yuan and Li Shao, the other five major forces have successfully crossed the line between sea and sky.

After crossing the sea-sky line, you have reached the ridge with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. After passing through a section of mountain road, you will officially enter the boundary of Taiyuan Ruins.

Judging from the angles from where they were standing, they could already vaguely see the ruins behind the dense forest.

Thinking of all the legends about Taiyuan earlier, even Cheng Bai, who is used to laughing, couldn't help but look serious, and his expression became serious.

I don't know if it's because of that huge purple cloud, or because the altitude has risen and the temperature has dropped.

The sky was gloomy and dark, with a depressing sense of dullness.

There are no green trees and red flowers around, and even the monsters such as birds are gone.

"There is a fork in the road ahead," the crowd walked all the way, and five fork roads appeared at the intersection ahead.

The five forks lay there quietly, and it seemed that each of the forks was exactly the same.

It seems that any road can lead to the top of the mountain, but it is possible that only one of them can lead to the top of the mountain.

A strange feeling flooded everyone's hearts.

Earlier, the village chief never said that there was a fork in the mountain.

These fork roads look very new, which is very contradictory to the ancient history of the Taiyuan ruins.

Why exactly five?

It's like someone already knew that the five major forces would enter the mountain, and it was specially prepared for them.

No one chose hastily. After all, whether the route chosen is correct or not is directly related to whether or not the ruins of Taiyuan can be found.

The leaders of several major forces came out, and after consultation, they decided to draw lots, and each major force chose a fork in the road.

After the lottery was drawn, Lan got the first fork on the left.

"Bai, Jiuxiao, we have to go our separate ways, be careful," Ye Beiming separated from Cheng and Bu.

Yun Sheng also greeted Tianyi Yu, Huo Yu and the others.

People from the five major forces have each gone their own way.

After two quarters of an hour, the unlucky second prince of Tang Yuan, Li Shao, arrived with a group of Tang Yuan's magicians.

In front, there is only a lonely mountain road, on which traces of people's walking can be faintly seen.

"Tsk, they're all gone, let's go, speed up, and catch up immediately," Li Shao led the people towards the mountain road.

After choosing the fork, Yun Sheng and his team walked forward.

Along the way, everything is very normal. Both sides of the mountain road are covered with thick fallen leaves. It looks like no one has passed by for a long time.

But after walking all the way, Duguxiu suddenly stopped the team.

"There seems to be something wrong. It seems that the ruins of Taiyuan are very close, but after walking for two hours, it seems that the top of the mountain is still far away." Duguxiu looked at the faintly visible white buildings on the top of the mountain, frowning .

Not only Duguxiu, but also Yun Sheng and a few others noticed it.

It was obvious that he was walking all the time, but the surrounding scenery and the mountain road seemed to have no end.

"It's getting late, let's take a break first." The sky was gloomy, and Lan decided to ask the students to stop and rectify first.

That night, twenty students and post-Qin warriors rested in the open air.

When they got up in the morning, they hurriedly used some dry food and water, and prepared to move on.

"Huh," who knew that when counting the number of people, Lan suddenly discovered that there was one person missing in the mainland elite battalion.

"We also lost a warrior here," Duguxiu also checked out his subordinates, and found that there were also fewer people.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

After some inquiries, Lan found out from the companion of the missing magician that the magician left the main army in the middle of the night because of internal urgency, and went into the mountain forest for convenience.

"The same is true for that warrior, who also left the army in the middle of the night," said Dugu Xiuna, who also reported the same news.

The sky was still gray, and if it wasn't for the time hourglass, it would be difficult for Yun Sheng and the others to distinguish day from night.

"Let's go into the mountain forest to see if we can find any clues. Don't let everyone disperse, and keep the same formation as on the mountain road earlier," Duguxiu ordered his men to line up immediately.

Yun Sheng and Lan followed in the middle, and everyone looked dignified.

If they didn't return overnight, the lives of those two team members might be...

Everyone left the mountain path and walked into the depths of the forest step by step.

Taiyuan Mountain is very large, and the trees here have not been cut down for hundreds of years, so there are dead grass and dead leaves all over the ground.

In the deepest place, even a tall man like Ye Beiming Duguxiu would be submerged by grass and leaves if he fell.

A few warriors from Hou Qin walked in the forefront, they felled while walking, and kept walking for less than half an hour.

"Look, everyone, ahead!" The warrior walking ahead saw a familiar figure leaning against a tree with his back to everyone.

After finding the missing warrior, everyone in Hou Qin, including Duguxiu, breathed a sigh of relief.

These people are all Duguxiu's personal guards. They have followed Duguxiu since he was a child, and the friendship between master and servant is behind him.

The clothes and size are exactly the post-Qin soldier who disappeared earlier.

"You kid, it's easy for everyone to find," the warrior in charge complained, and was about to punch that warrior.

After hearing the sound, the missing warrior turned his head.

There was a weird rattling sound like bones moving.

After seeing the man's face clearly, the leader of the Hou Qin Wu Zhe screamed and stepped back a few steps.

Where is the warrior of the later Qin Dynasty? It is clearly an inhuman skeleton, half of the rotten face has exposed bones, and the other half of the face is full of rotten flesh. out.

The skeleton warrior suddenly pulled out the saber on his waist, and looked at the warrior in front.

The leading martial artist didn't take precautions, the wind of the sword slashed off his left arm.

Duguxiu and the Hou Qin warriors were all shocked, "Zombie."

The post-Qin iron-blooded knights are indeed excellent teachers. At this moment, they showed a strong sense of discipline.

Several people formed a team of three and three, one team covered the injured warrior, and the other pair covered Duguxiu and Mrs. Chi Bi respectively.

"Boom"

Just when Lan and others were about to help, a fireball suddenly shot out from the jungle.

In the jungle, there was another person standing. That person was the magician who disappeared in the middle of the night earlier. His appearance was similar to that of a zombie warrior. He was half a corpse and half a skeleton. He was lurking in the forest and attacking everyone.

In just one night, warriors and mages who were still alive and well earlier became zombies with neither human nor ghost, which was too weird.

"Chasing," Lan didn't hesitate, and immediately led a group of magicians to chase after the zombie magician.
