As soon as the route was changed, the number of wild animals on the road seemed to decrease immediately.

Because this route was not easy to walk, there were almost all mountains and cliffs along the way.

But precisely because of the obstruction of these cliffs, the herds of animals basically would not go into this kind of terrain.

Only birds and species with strong climbing ability can pass through this kind of terrain.

Humans' climbing ability is not strong, but they can use tools such as ropes.

After crossing a cliff-like mountain, there is a more dense primeval forest behind.

It is difficult to march faster in the forest, and it is even more difficult than simply climbing.

There may be few large beasts here, but small things such as snakes, insects, rats and ants can also pose a huge threat to humans.

If you are not careful, you may die from the poison of a small animal.

In such an environment, ghost cultivators will have a little more advantage.

Because ghost cultivators can still use some spiritual sense, it is easy to find small insects hiding around them, so as to avoid being pitted by some poisonous snakes and insects.

Chu Yang and Su Hai are both ghost cultivators, but Su Hai's speed is obviously much slower than Chu Yang.

His spiritual sense can only detect a distance of less than one meter, so he dare not walk too fast when he is moving.

So Chu Yang is still walking in the front, and Su Hai is only responsible for giving him directions.

The team behind is very close, only a few hundred meters away from them, basically within sight.

At this time, the role of scouts is no longer to guard against beasts.

Their task is to open the way and choose a route in the dense forest that is convenient for everyone to pass.

Chu Yang has spiritual sense as an aid, so he doesn't have to worry about sneak attacks by snakes, insects, rats and ants.

However, his spiritual sense has a limited detection range and can only see the situation within a few dozen meters.

This is not very convenient for him to explore the route forward.

Although Su Hai is more familiar with this area, he only knows the general terrain and the direction he should walk. It is impossible for him to remember every route.

The two of them cooperated to open the way in front, and could only maintain a normal walking speed.

Fortunately, there were basically no wild animals in the dense forest.

The beasts would not deliberately climb over those cliffs, nor would they organize to surround their intelligence team.

They could light torches in the dense forest and travel boldly.

They did not walk far before they came to a cliff.

The woods here were sparser, so Gu Qi decided to spend the night here.

It was already dark, there was no moon in the sky, and the starlight was extremely dim.

But for the team that had already entered the dense forest, it was pitch black everywhere anyway, so it didn't make much difference whether there was starlight or not.

It was still a little cold at night, so the team quickly built a bunch of bonfires.

The soldiers started to grill meat and eat around the bonfire and prepared to rest.

The normal eating habit in this world is two meals a day, but when they were marching, the time interval between the morning and evening meals was too long, so they also ate a meal of dried meat at noon.

The more physical energy they consumed, the more they ate, and everyone was already hungry.

They started to rest immediately after eating, and no one wasted time.

There were still only a dozen people at the sentry post, divided into two shifts.

Although the possibility of encountering danger in the dense forest was small, it was still necessary to keep watch.

Gu Qi was also a little exhausted, so he didn't talk to Chu Yang anymore.

Anyway, the team had entered the no-man's land and the situation was relatively safe, so tomorrow's matter was just a matter of rushing on the road, and there was not much to worry about.

Chu Yang fell asleep quickly.

The biggest advantage of the wilderness in this world is that there are no biting mosquitoes, which does not affect everyone's sleep, which is similar to the situation in the underworld.

After sleeping comfortably until the second half of the night, Chu Yang was suddenly awakened.

There were many people who were awakened like him, because everyone heard the rustling footsteps coming from a long distance.

The sentry immediately woke up the other soldiers who were still sleeping, and someone immediately went to the front to investigate the situation.

"Brother Chu, can you go to the front to take a look?"

Gu Qi found Chu Yang and asked Chu Yang with a serious expression.

He knew that Chu Yang had been tired for a day, and he was really embarrassed to assign work to Chu Yang at this time.

But the situation was indeed a bit special now. Although the footsteps coming from afar were very faint, the number sounded quite large.

More importantly, the direction from which these footsteps came was the east.

That was the direction they were heading.

If even the east side of the no-man's land had already seen a beast tide, it meant that the scale of the beast tide and the scope of its impact had exceeded their imagination.

This would even prevent them from passing through the Black Dragon Pond and reaching the eastern part of the mountain.

Chu Yang did not refuse the task, and he was also very concerned about the safety of the team.

He nodded slightly and immediately ran eastward.

"Wait for me."

Su Hai took the torch and hurriedly followed Chu Yang.

The cliff was to their southeast, and the area was relatively large.

According to Su Hai, this stretch of cliff was winding and extended to the east for more than ten miles.

The road below the cliff is relatively easier to walk on. A long section of the road is covered with large rocks that fell from the cliff. No thick trees grow there, and there are not many weeds and shrubs.

Although some roads were not smooth and there were even piles of rocks blocking the road, it did not affect the speed of the soldiers.

Chu Yang ran several miles in one breath. Behind him, besides Su Hai, there were several other sentries on night watch.

The further they went, the more solemn their expressions became.

Because the footsteps became clearer and clearer, they could clearly hear that a large group of animals were approaching them.

The terrain in front began to slowly climb up the slope. After climbing to the top of the slope, there was another long downhill road.

The road was full of piles of rocks and gravel, which was much more difficult to walk than the previous section.

The visibility on the top of the slope was good, but it was still dark in the distance. Nothing could be seen clearly. Only patches of dense jungle could be vaguely seen.

The footsteps of the beasts were already very clear. There were obviously a lot of them, but no one knew exactly how many there were.

Su Hai had a headache: "Should we go down to see the specific situation?"

"I don't think it's necessary."

The soldier in charge of night watch said: "It's obviously a large herd of beasts. We don't need to take the risk of getting close. Let's go back and tell Brother Gu to see what to do."

"Just go back like this? We don't even know the specific situation of the beasts on the opposite side. Such a report is too perfunctory..."

Su Hai hesitated.

He felt that as a scout, he should try to obtain more detailed information, and he couldn't report a guess without seeing anything.
