After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1157: Mountain Manhunt

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.

It's not snow, it's just limestone.

"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 you don't fight, you 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 weird. Last night's heavy rain fell near Kyungsan Mountain, but it's not the same here. The soil is dry and the snail toad cannot travel more than a few miles before 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 a passerby 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 we have surrounded it 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. They didn't sneak into the jungle on the side until the soldiers lost sight of them.

"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 still 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, "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 set up, 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 actually 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 Country's strength in the past.

After experiencing the coup in the country of Wei, 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 knows if Yaojun has an aerial spy, they don'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 criss-crossing tunnels in Baidu Ridge. 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 them and try to reduce 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, who was responsible for it, here just 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 have to ask Mou Guo to pay more later." Dong Rui looked up at the sky. "It's getting dark soon. It's a good opportunity for us to go up the mountain. However, it's difficult to get back down."

Escape techniques are prohibited in the entire mountain, so they and the fox demon have to leave here on foot.

Next, He Lingchuan asked the prisoners about the setting up of the encirclement. But this guy is just a small soldier. He is only responsible for the things he does at his post and his knowledge is limited.

He Lingchuan only asked about the commander of this operation, whose surname was Yu, who was a heavy-armed general of the Yao Kingdom.

The name sounds like he is brave and unparalleled, but in fact it is a miscellaneous name.

The Yao Kingdom has been established for a long time, and there are many generals. This General Yu is only twenty-five years old, and he is also the fastest promoted.

In this operation, he led an army of 1,700 troops to encircle and suppress the Three-Tailed Demon. He blocked several tunnel exits in advance, otherwise the difficulty of capturing him would be at least doubled.

After asking these questions, the two of them disposed of the prisoners and went into the mountains.

It was also easy for them to avoid the Yao troops on the mountain. These troops held high pine oil torches. From a distance, the mountains were dotted with stars and flames everywhere.

This was done deliberately by Yao Jun, to force the fox demon into panic, but objectively it made it easier for He Lingchuan and the two to move.

Judging from the sparse firelight, you can tell that those places have either been searched, or they are likely to be the hiding places of the fox monsters.

"It's not optimistic." Dong Rui put up a pergola with his hands, "It seems that the fox demons don't have much room to move. If we come here at this time, they are lucky."
