Chapter 238 Inquiring About the Enemy
Shen Ruiling closed his eyes tightly, and slowly controlled his consciousness to explore the mountain.
After a few breaths, his divine sense had already touched the snow-covered mountain through the deep layer of snow.
He found that the snow layer in contact with the mountain was slowly melting, and the melted snow water gathered into a fine stream, flowing under the ice layer.
At the same time, an evaporated white mist also quietly rose from the snow.
Although these white mists were blown away by the cold wind as soon as they rose, they were still sensed by Shen Ruiling's keen consciousness!
...
Looking at the mountain in the distance, the corner of Shen Ruiling's mouth rose slightly, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
"Finally found!"
Shen Ruiling murmured to himself in his heart, and immediately picked up a spirit decision, scattered three auras, and then let the spirits fly in three directions.
After a while, the three figures quickly swept to Shen Ruiling's side.
After seeing that all three of Shen Huanzong came together, Shen Ruiling said slowly:
"The mountain in front of you should be a secret mouth set up by a bandit!"
"Front……?"
For a time, Shen Huanzong's three people's eyes all turned to the mountain.
After taking a few glances, the three old men looked at Xianghu Lake again, with puzzled looks in their eyes.
The three of them have searched that place, but they found nothing suspicious, just an ordinary mountain bag covered with heavy snow!
But now Shen Ruiling told them that there was a secret mouth, which suddenly made them a little unresponsive.
After seeing the expressions on the faces of the three of Shen Huanzong, Shen Ruiling also knew what they were ringing, and immediately said again:
"Look carefully, the snow is melting there!"
Being reminded by Shen Ruiling, the three of Shen Huanzong hurriedly looked over to the mountain again and checked it carefully.
After a few breaths, they soon found signs of melting ice and snow.
The three of Shen Huanzong were old foxes who had lived for half their lives, and they suddenly thought of something.
In this icy world, the snow will only accumulate thicker and thicker, how could it melt away for no reason?
Unless there is heat emanating from the ground, the ice and snow that touch the ground are melted.
Thinking of this, and thinking of the cutting marks on the tree stumps found just now, Shen Huanzong and the three have basically confirmed what Shen Ruiling said.
At this moment, the originally silent Shen Ruiling suddenly said:
"Hide, there is movement!"
After speaking, Shen Ruiling's figure moved quickly and hid in the canopy of a huge tree.
On the other side, after hearing the reminder, the three of Shen Huanzong reacted instantly, and quickly found a place to hide.
After Shen Huanzong and the three had taken shelter, they all began to carefully observe the surroundings.
After a while, the snow at the foot of the mountain suddenly swayed, and then a hole appeared.
Seeing this scene, Shen Ruiling and the four of them can already confirm that this is the secret mouth set up by a bandit!
As the entrance of the cave appeared, a man's complaint came from below.
"I said you kid, stay in the crypt below, what's the crime you have to come here to suffer!"
Then, another voice replied:
"There's almost no firewood down here, so the boss asked me to pick up a few bundles of spirit wood and go back."
...
As the voices became clearer and clearer, the two figures slowly crawled out of the hole, and soon appeared in the sight of Shen Ruiling and the others.
Two people came out of the cave, one was a thin young man, the other was a middle-aged man dressed like a hunter in the mountains, wrapped in the fur of an unknown monster.
Shen Ruiling's consciousness swept lightly, and he saw the cultivation of these two people.
The middle-aged man's cultivation reached the seventh level of Qi training, while the young man's cultivation was only the fifth level of Qi training.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind whistled past, and a middle-aged man couldn't help wrapping his leather jacket tightly, and said tremblingly:
"Damn, why is it so cold today!"
Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man turned to the young man beside him and said:
"You kid, hurry up and chop wood, so I can go back quickly, so I can accompany you in the cold here!"
"Okay, Brother Peng!"
With that said, the young man raised the axe in his hand and walked towards the dense forest not far away.
On the other side, standing on the canopy of the tree, Shen Ruiling watched the two separate, a sneer flashed on his face.
I saw his lips move a few times, and a few secret words mixed with spiritual power flew away in the direction where Shen Huanzong and the three were hiding.
After receiving Shen Ruiling's voice transmission, Shen Huanzong immediately looked at each other, and then the three of them leaned towards the two bandits.
...
After a while, Shen Ruiling slowly leaped down from under the tree canopy and came to the side of Shen Huanzong and the three.
After seeing Shen Ruiling coming down, Liu Quanyong and Shen Huanzong immediately threw the person they were holding in front of him.
"Elder, the man has been captured alive!" Shen Huanzong bowed to Shen Ruiling.
The two people who were bound were the two bandits who had just come out of the underground cave.
After seeing these two people come out just now, Shen Ruiling did not order the three of Shen Huanzong to kill them, but let them capture the two bandits alive.
After all, the four of them are unfamiliar with the place of life here, and they don't know how many bandits are hidden in this crypt, nor do they know the strength of these bandits, and they don't know the means of communication between these bandits.
It would be fine if all the bandits inside were annihilated, but if one or two escaped and let them pass the news out, it would be bad!
Shen Ruiling, who came down from the tree, slowly turned his eyes to the two bandits, and the pressure of a foundation-building cultivator immediately enveloped them.
When the two bandits in uniforms felt the tremendous pressure from Shen Ruiling, their whole bodies trembled uncontrollably.
Looking at the two people who were kneeling on the ground and trembling constantly, UU read www. uukanshu.com Shen Ruiling said solemnly:
"Whatever I ask, you can answer honestly, maybe I can save you a little life!"
"Yes, yes, as long as the little one knows, the little one will answer everything! Know everything!"
Facing Shen Ruiling's threat, the middle-aged man hurriedly begged for mercy and expressed his loyalty.
Seeing him like this, Shen Ruiling couldn't help laughing in his heart, but there was still a killing intent on his face and said:
"This is a stronghold that you use to monitor various movements in the mountains and forests."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
"How many monks are hidden underground? How strong is it?"
"There are fourteen people in our hall, five monks in the late stage of Qi training, and seven monks in the middle stage of Qi training..."
...
In this way, under the threat of Shen Ruiling, the bandit told everything he knew.
The name of their secret mouth is "Niutou Mountain", which is Jiugang and Shigang. There is a small leader here is a fat man who has practiced the Great Perfection of Qi.
Now the rest of the people are sleeping in the crypt, and the two of them have come out to chop some firewood and go back to make the fire.
And their secret mouths, as well as the connection with the general village on the mountain, are conveyed by a kind of blood-colored bat.
After a while, Shen Ruiling seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked:
"How many exits does your underground fortification have in total?"
"With the one here, there are five exits in total!"
"Five..."
As Shen Ruiling murmured, he began to figure out a plan to exterminate this band of bandits.
