Chapter 1157: Mountain Search

The patriarch rubbed his chin and thought: "Perhaps we can ask the monsters in the mountains for help, just like last time. Isn't it normal for the target to be attacked by monsters while walking in the wild?"

Monsters don't care about the messy things in the human world. They are willing to work if they are given enough benefits.

He Lingchuan and Dong Rui trekked for a long time in the mountains and finally saw Baidu Ridge.

The mountains are emerald green, only the tops of these peaks are white, which can be spotted from a long distance.

That's not white snow, just white mountains.

"We're here, how can we get in touch with those fox demons?" Lingshan's mission was to find the three-tailed fox demon. Dong Rui asked him, "Don't say you want to fight first. If we don't fight, we won't get to know each other."

This is their territory.

"Go to the mountainside first." He Lingchuan pointed towards the mountain, "Fang Canran gave me a way to contact him."

The weather in this mountain is just weird. Last night's heavy rain fell near Kyungsan Mountain, but there's no trace of it here. The soil is dry, and the snail toad cannot travel more than a few miles without stopping to rest. So the two of them planned to walk up the mountain.

But just as we reached the foot of the mountain, someone blocked the way ahead.

Here stood a group of sixty or seventy people, all soldiers wearing armor. The standard military armor they wore was quite sophisticated, and He Lingchuan was certain that he had never seen it before.

Before He Lingchuan could speak, two soldiers stepped forward: "What's the matter with this person?"

When you meet passers-by in the wilderness, of course you have to ask.

"We are merchants from Julu Port, going to Yao Country to do business."

"Our army is exterminating demons, but there is no way forward." The soldiers warned them, "No matter where you go, take a detour."

"Who is your army?"

"We are from Yao country."

Dong Rui was surprised: "What happened on this mountain?"

Did they arrive at such a coincidence?

"The big demon has been eating people one after another recently and has been surrounded by us on the mountain." The soldier pointed to the east, "If you don't want to die, leave quickly!"

He Lingchuan and the two thanked him and walked dozens of feet in the direction he pointed. When the soldiers lost sight of them, they slipped into the jungle on the side.

"You know this mission is not easy." Dong Rui muttered, "The mission target is blocked on the mountain. We have to find a way to pick it up?"

"It seems so. I see there are many soldiers in the forest, and the Yao Kingdom is probably surrounding the mountain." He Lingchuan said without thinking, "Summon the Snail Toad."

They are here to pick up people, so it is best not to have a direct conflict with the Yao Kingdom army.

But the first step in taking over the mission was frustrated, because Snail Toad dived half a mile up the mountain and stopped moving forward——

There is a barrier, no movement ahead!

"Hey, the army of the Yao Kingdom actually set up a barrier to avoid escape in Baitou Ridge?" Dong Rui said in surprise, "I haven't seen such a wealthy master in a long time."

Escape Technique Forbidden Formation is a common formation. It is not difficult to arrange, but it consumes a lot of energy. The larger the area covered, the greater the amount of Xuan Crystal consumed.

Even in a tense siege battle, the Escape Technique Forbidden Array cannot be turned on all the time. Ordinary countries and cities cannot afford this big money burner.

"Have you enjoyed it more than once?"

"That was in Bejia." Dong Rui shook his head, "The Demon Emperor sent General Golden Horn to arrest us."

Bega found their whereabouts and arranged a forbidden escape formation in advance, which sealed the entire mountain. However, they saw through it and escaped in advance.

This is the Golden Plains! The Yao Kingdom was able to use a forbidden barrier on an entire mountain just to capture a big monster.

Looking through the cracks, He Lingchuan felt that he might have underestimated Yao Kingdom's strength in the past.

After experiencing the coup of Wei State, he still felt that there would be no too powerful country on the Golden Plains.

Dong Rui asked him habitually: "What should we do now?"

"Ask someone and then go in."

The two of them resurfaced and looked for opportunities outside the barrier. They all put on masks casually. He Lingchuan had a dragon-headed mask, and Dong Rui had a wolf-headed mask. They were prepared before leaving the Yangshan Islands - who knew if Yaojun had an aerial spy, they didn't want to expose themselves.

However, the Yao army was cautious and patrolled back and forth in teams of five.

He Lingchuan waited patiently for a while, and finally a soldier went out alone to release the water.

Just as the unlucky guy was about to walk back, he fell into Dong Rui's clutches.

He was not a warrior who looked down upon death. After being repaired by the ghost monkey for a few times, he moved with black eyes.

First, his answer confirmed the most important piece of information:

The target pursued by the Yao Kingdom army was the same as He Lingchuan's, which was a nest of fox monsters.

This hunt has lasted for three days, with the fox demon constantly changing positions and the army chasing after him. Unexpectedly, there are too many tunnels in Baekdu Ridge that are criss-crossed. This may be the result of the fox demon's careful construction. Three days have passed, and the fox demon is still hiding in the mountains.

Baekdu Ridge is not a single mountain, it consists of five peaks.

In the past few days, the Yao State army has been working hard to outflank and minimize their scope of activities. If nothing else, he is likely to be captured by closing the net in the end.

Of course, since the fox demon has persisted for so long, accidents will happen as expected.

Isn't He Lingchuan, the one who responded to it, here now?

But he also received bad news:

In the past few days, the fox demon has been seriously injured.

"It's not good." He Lingchuan murmured, "This is not good."

The information he obtained from Fang Canran showed that the fox demon fought with the Yao Kingdom a few months ago, and its injuries have never fully recovered; now it has new injuries, "Tsk, this response mission might turn into a rescue mission. "

"We'll have to ask the Mou Kingdom for more money later." Dong Rui looked up at the sky, "It's getting dark, it's a good opportunity for us to go up the mountain. However, it will be difficult to come down once we go up."

The whole mountain is forbidden to use escape techniques, so they and the fox demon have to leave here on foot.

Next, He Lingchuan asked the captive about the setting of the encirclement. But this guy is just a soldier, responsible for only the things in his position, and knows very little.

He Lingchuan only asked about the commander of this operation, whose surname is Yu, and he is a general of Yao Kingdom.

It sounds like he is brave and unparalleled, but in fact it is a miscellaneous title.

Yao Kingdom has been established for a long time, and there are many miscellaneous generals. This General Yu is only 25 years old and is also the one who has been promoted the fastest.

In this operation, he led 1,700 Yao soldiers to encircle and suppress the big demon Sanwei, and blocked several tunnel exits in advance, otherwise the difficulty of arresting would at least double.

After asking these questions, the two dealt with the captives and went into the mountain.

It was easy for them to avoid the Yao army on the mountain. These teams held up pine oil torches. From a distance, the mountain was dotted with stars and fire everywhere.

This was done intentionally by the Yao army to force the fox demon into panic, but it objectively facilitated the actions of He Lingchuan and the others.

Looking at the sparse firelight, we know that those places have either been searched or are likely to be the hiding places of the fox demon.

"It's not optimistic." Dong Rui put his hands on the awning, "It seems that the fox demon doesn't have much room to move. We came at this time, and they are lucky."
