Chapter 1631 Shadow Manipulation (I)
Two years later, in a black swamp, the ground was covered with mud and bubbles, and there were huge trees with only some broken leaves around.
These giant trees were entangled with muddy vines, and between these giant trees like dead tombs, there was a black miasma.
All day long, there was a blue-black light everywhere, as if there was no sunlight.
In some places in these swamps, there would be zombies with black bodies but no mercy. Although there were many of these zombies, they were just black zombies similar to the Nascent Soul Realm.
But with the help of the miasma here, once they fought with others here, they had the strength of not entering the God Transformation Realm.
Li Yan looked around. They had been walking here for seventeen days. Although they did not go deep into the swamp, they occasionally appeared here, which was equivalent to the white zombies of the God Transformation Realm.
Li Yan's team had a total of eight people, led by a woman in the late God Transformation Realm. Li Yan was just a member of the team.
They came here this time to explore the location of a Yin vein of the Mosha Temple. It is said that the Mosha Temple is using a Yin vein to create an army of green-haired zombies.
Once this kind of green-haired zombie is successfully sacrificed, it is equivalent to a cultivator in the early stage of refining the void. However, this kind of green-haired zombie that is forcibly refined will never be able to make any progress in the later stage. .🅆.
But even so, these green-haired zombies are not only invulnerable to swords and guns, but the green hair on their bodies is also said to be impervious to water and fire.
It is just that it is difficult to form this kind of green-haired zombie, so according to the speculation of the Moji Dao Sect, it is estimated that it is good to form a team of up to 20 people.
But once such a team appears, it will definitely increase the death rate of the Moji Dao Sect. If things go wrong, only the cultivators in the fusion realm can take action to gain the upper hand.
So, the superiors asked them to find the location of this Yin vein as soon as possible. According to the basic intelligence, the target will appear in this "dark domain swamp".
Because the green-haired zombies need a very high level of Yin veins, there should be only one such Yin vein here.
Moreover, it is estimated that it will take at least 800 years to form a green-haired zombie, but for the Mosha Palace, this time is not a problem.
This makes the Moji Dao Sect eager to find this Yin Vein. If it is destroyed, the Mosha Palace will lose all its efforts.
As for Li Yan's team, the task is only to find the branch of this Yin Vein. The main vein will definitely be strictly guarded by the opponent, so it is easy to be exposed if they want to detect it.
Moreover, the main vein of the Yin Vein should be deep in the "Dark Domain Swamp". After scouts like Li Yan go in, it is not certain that anyone can come out alive.
Li Yan guessed that once a branch of the Yin Vein can be found, the Moji Dao Sect should send experts to open up the branch of the Yin Vein all the way inside.
Such a dangerous thing must require multiple cultivators in the Refining Void Realm to act at the same time before there is hope.
r> Although it is only on the periphery of the "Dark Domain Swamp", Li Yan and his team are still in great danger all the way.
Despite being careful everywhere, they still fought several times with the zombies in the swamp. Fortunately, these things had a longer sleeping time, and they were all killed by them in the end.
But two of their own side died and one was injured. This mortality rate is frighteningly high. Now the remaining five people are all injured.
These black zombies have long been intelligent. Li Yan and his team have captured black zombies and searched their souls, but they didn't get any information about the Yin vein.
Although Li Yan's face was calm, his heart was already very gloomy at this time.
Two years ago, after he and Mu Guyue came to Fengxin Camp where Zhao Haiyang was, he and Mu Guyue were assigned to a small team at the beginning.
Moreover, some of the tasks they performed were dangerous for them, but they were still ordinary.
Of course, this degree of danger is only for people like Li Yan and Mu Guyue who are used to seeing big storms.
Whenever Li Yan has free time, he keeps going to the mission hall to check various tasks. In the mission hall of Fengxin Camp, various tasks of varying difficulty will be issued.
These tasks can be taken not only by the people of Fengxin Camp, but also by soldiers of other categories.
Once completed, there will be incomparable generous rewards, which is definitely not comparable to the above routinely arranged designated task rewards.
Since the task rewards of the task hall are generous, it naturally indicates that the tasks are more dangerous, and the death rate is basically more than 60%.
But even so, it still attracts many adventurous monks.
Some of the task rewards they sometimes see are those that they have no chance to get when they are outside. How can they miss such opportunities after having the opportunity here?
However, for anyone, these tasks must be taken after completing their own tasks and during their own rest period.
Li Yan and Mu Guyue don't care about this. They are more concerned about the tasks of Guiyin City, which is their main purpose of coming here.
But before Li Yan found a suitable task, he was transferred from the previous team. The order from the top said that he needed to assist in completing some tasks.
Li Yan had no choice but to obey this. After all, this was a military order. Since he had come to Fengxin Camp, he had no reason to object.
So, he went to other teams to carry out the mission, and Mu Guyue stayed in the original team.
The two of them initially thought that since Li Yan was there to assist, he would return to the original team after completing the mission.
But the result was a big surprise for the two of them. Let me talk about the mission Li Yan performed that time. It was so difficult that even the two late-stage god-transformation monks who led the team were killed and one was injured.
Moreover, that mission was not completed in the end. Only three of the entire eight-person team survived.
The mortality rate was ridiculously high, but the only survivors were Li Yan's two team members and one deputy captain. Li Yan also suffered serious injuries, which were caused by being chased by the opponent's Void Refining Monk.
After Li Yan came back and recovered from his injuries, he was sent on two or three other missions one after another, and they were all missions with extremely high mortality rates.
This made Li Yan alert the second time. People like him were inherently suspicious, and he immediately wondered if someone had deliberately arranged a task of this level for him.
Their team is basically dominated by late-stage gods, but his level is obviously too low, and he looks very eye-catching.
As a result, other people in his team looked at him strangely, but they did not say anything to Li Yan other than the mission.
When Li Yan was free, he immediately began to inquire secretly. The last news he got made him feel that something was wrong.
A team of this level was one he had heard of and didn't want to join at all, the "Dead Wind" team in Fengxin Camp.
Moreover, this kind of team usually takes three times as long to rest and recuperate after returning from a mission as other scouts.
However, Li Yan was constantly seconded for various reasons. He had already joined three "Death Wind" teams, and the first two were still resting and waiting to recruit monks.
Before coming out this time, Li Yan finally found Mu Guyue. This was because the team that Mu Guyue was in returned half a day early due to finishing the mission early.
After Li Yan was transferred from Mu Guyue's team, he also discovered something. Every time he came back, it happened to be when Mu Guyue's team went out to perform a mission.
The two of them haven't seen each other for a long time.
This time, as soon as the two met, Mu Guyue had a cold look on her face before Li Yan could tell her about the wrong guess she had noticed, and she spoke first.
"That Zhao Haiyang told me something some time ago, hum!"
Mu Guyue only said one sentence and stopped, but finally let out a cold snort.
"Oh? What happened!"
Li Yan heard the seriousness in Mu Guyue's tone. He immediately put aside what he was going to say, and instead asked why he mentioned Zhao Haiyang.
"He wants me to be his deputy general. This person should be killed!"
Anger was already showing on Mu Guyue's delicate face at this moment. When she said this, she did not elaborate further.
She has met too many people like this in her journey of cultivating immortality. As long as the other party shows the slightest trace, Mu Guyue will know what the other person is thinking.
She is extremely indifferent by nature, with very little family affection and friendship.
Just like Tinglan, she actually saved the other person after having an experience together, and the other person also saved her without hesitation. The feeling of companionship that emerged is a special emotion developed in the military.
The only people who could give her real emotions were Mu Sha and Li Yan.
Therefore, when others try to gain love from her, Mu Guyue's first thought is "Kill!"
In this life, except for Li Yan, the only man who entered her heart, she would never let any other man touch her body.
At this moment, Li Yan understood the meaning of Mu Guyue's words, and his face instantly became gloomy.
At the same time, his mind was spinning.
"How did you reply?"
"I have made it clear that you are my Taoist companion, and I would rather be able to perform tasks with you! But he also asked me to think about it, and if possible, I can tell him!"
Mu Guyue's voice was cold, but still filled with anger.
She didn't want to say that Li Yan was her Taoist companion, and she once told Li Yan that they would not become true Taoist companions.
But at that moment, she just wanted to let the other person know that she already had a Taoist partner.
Of course Mu Guyue was angry, but she and Li Yan had other motives for coming here, and of course they would not offend each other immediately.
But she was already murderous. In fact, she felt disgusted by anyone who coveted her, and wanted to kill them quickly.
"So that's the case. That just explains why I'm looking for you today..."
Next, Li Yan quickly told his experience during this period of time, as well as his final guess.
Mu Guyue only heard the evil aura in her eyes. She didn't expect that she would cause such trouble just after the battle between the South Fang Beacon Tower and the Mocha Palace.
After Li Yan finished speaking, Mu Guyue clenched her silver teeth.
"I have looked for you several times, but you always go out to perform missions. It seems that if it hadn't been for this time and we ended the mission early, we still wouldn't be able to meet you. What should we do now?
The mission you are performing is too dangerous. It cannot last long. If you make one mistake, you will be killed. "
