"Since two months ago, there has been no news from Yunya City." Old General Han who was stationed at Zhenbeiguan was a cautious and steady man, more conservative than aggressive. Although he had lived for nearly a hundred years, he was still strong enough to regenerate.

A large group of descendants, but courage has never been his specialty.

When he discovered that Zerg appeared near Zhenbeiguan, his first reaction was to put the entire Zhenbeiguan on alert. All soldiers must be prepared for battle, and even keep their weapons by their side when sleeping at night.

, ready to fight at any time.

To this end, he also conducted several drills to ensure that once an enemy attacks, Zhenbeiguan can immediately enter a state of war and not be caught off guard.

I have to admit that people become better with age. Even though the old general's real talent lies in martial arts rather than military tactics, his decision was sound and there were no obvious mistakes.

But in this case, when he received the report that he had "lost contact with Yunya", the wisdom he had slowly accumulated over the years was finally exhausted.

In line with the idea of ​​"being careful and never making a big mistake", General Han just sent out a few spies to try to detect the situation, and the result reported by the spies was that everyone in Yunya City was gone.

"Tell me the key points." Zhong Chao listened to him ramble on about how scared and worried he was at that time, how he thought about it carefully, how many meetings he held, gathered all the senior generals of Zhenbeiguan, and brainstormed and discussed repeatedly... Finally

He was impatient and interrupted him rudely, "How can a centenarian who only talks so much nonsense be so nagging?"

Although in appearance, General Han looks much older than Zhong Chao. But in fact, Zhong Chao is old enough to be his grandfather's grandfather... This is because Zhong Chao himself is one of the young geniuses.

If we use the age of Old Man Guye to calculate the age, we really don’t know how many “grandfathers” would be enough.

It's not that he is rude, in front of such juniors, Zhong Chao has no idea of ​​respecting the elderly and the virtuous - no matter how you look at it, the older and virtuous person is always Zhong.

General Han was choked by this young-looking immortal, and General Han seemed a little embarrassed. He knew that the age of immortals cannot be judged by their appearance - for example, the Crescent Princess should be more than a thousand years old

He was the person in front of me, but he looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.

In comparison, this immortal who looks to be in his twenties has probably lived for three to five thousand years... Even in the army, soldiers with such seniority have privileges, not to mention that they are

immortal

So he had no choice but to cough twice, ignore those words emphasizing his hard work, and directly talk about the Zerg.

About three months ago, zerg appeared outside Zhenbei Pass.

Although the number was small, the power of the zerg was unmatched by mortals. The reconnaissance team he sent out was almost completely wiped out, and only a few seriously injured people came back.

In view of the power of the Zerg, General Han immediately sought help from the Immortal Officials who were stationed at Zhenbeiguan. The Immortal Officials destroyed the Zerg, but they were also damaged. The leading Immortal Official was even seriously injured. From then on,

I have been in seclusion for cultivation and have not yet come out of seclusion.

"Did they say what level of zerg it was?" Wu Jie asked.

"No, they just said that this thing is dangerous and we need to find some helpers, so they left one after another, and then no one came back." Old General Han sighed deeply, "I originally thought they escaped, but now it seems

, maybe he was killed by the insects..."

"People in the right way don't deceive themselves when doing things. Even if they want to run away, they will tell you." Old Man Guye shook his head and sighed, "They said they were looking for helpers, so they are looking for helpers - to be honest, you don't either.

It’s worth lying to a group of golden elixir monks to deceive you.”

He was also very rude in what he said, but this just confirmed what he said.

People in the right way do things without deception. Both Old Man Guye and Zhong Chao looked down on this courageous little Han, so they didn't even bother to be polite to him.

In contrast, Wu Jie was more polite - he didn't expect much from Xiao Han. At any rate, this person was doing quite well, and his demands were too high and unrealistic.

"So... do you have any other news about the zerg?" He said with a smile, "We need as much information as possible, whether it is complete or fragmentary, detailed or rough, as long as it is related to the zerg

It's related, or it may be related to the zerg, we all want it."

Throughout the next afternoon, they listened to reports from various spies.

These reports are naturally a bit messy, and a lot of the information in them lacks a sense of reality, and may be mixed with a lot of wrong judgments by spies. But as of now, this is the only information they can rely on.

"It's a mess, Luo Li is verbose and incoherent." After dinner, the group discussed future plans. Zhong Chao said angrily, "What on earth are these spies talking about? There is no valuable information at all."

"Brother Zhong, you can't expect a group of mortals to fully understand concepts such as what is the Dharma Realm, what is a 'thousand-year cultivation level,' what is a 'large-scale magic circle,' etc. They can only know that insects have very hard

Shell,,'knives and axes cannot hurt

,, extinction, etc." Old Man Guye was quite tolerant of the spies who risked their lives, and persuaded with a smile, "Anyway, we finally have a clearer impression of the insect plague in Yunyi Country.

,Isn’t this a good thing?”

"The so-called 'clear impression' is that mortals feel that they will definitely not win. Everyone is dead, so they should pray for a few gods to fall from the sky to save their lives... What is the value of such nonsense?"

"Mortals, what else can they think of?" Wu Jie said with a smile, "I guess they still don't know about the collapse of the Holy Mountain and the destruction of the Immortal Gate... If they knew, I'm afraid many people would commit suicide in despair.

Bar."

Speaking of this, everyone felt a little sad.

Because Jingyun Mountain had been destroyed, they had no choice but to change their plans and head to Zhenbeiguan.

Zhenbeiguan is the most important pass in the entire Yunyi Kingdom, guarding the chokepoint of the northern barbarians moving south. Not only are there hundreds of thousands of soldiers here, but they are also guarded by the most elite immortal officials in the Yunyi Kingdom.

However, the barbarians in the Yunyi Kingdom are not strong, so Zhenbeiguan has not experienced a major war for many years. Even though General Han claimed that he had been preparing for war these days, Wu Jie and the others only saw armaments.

His morale was low and he didn't look like he was ready to fight at any time.

They wanted to talk to those immortal officials, but found that all the immortal officials stationed at Zhenbeiguan were missing. In desperation, they had no choice but to find the mortal general of Zhenbeiguan and ask him for information.

All I heard was a bunch of information that seemed worthless no matter how you looked at it.

But coincidentally, after just one night, an accident gave everyone new hope.

"What did you say? We found another insect nearby?" Ding Xiaoyue frowned, "In which direction? How far away is it?"

Old General Han called a spy who seemed to be very experienced and pointed out the location on the map.

The distance is less than a hundred miles.

"It's strange...it's only a hundred miles away, why can't I find it with my spiritual consciousness?" Old Man Guye looked at the map, pondered for a moment, and said doubtfully, "I only saw traces of battle there, but I couldn't see any traces of it.

insect."

"I didn't see it either." Zhong Chao nodded and said, "Maybe the insects have left?"

"Wait a moment, I'll see for myself and find out." Wu Jie said and turned into a bolt of lightning and disappeared, and then turned into a bolt of lightning and appeared again in less than a sentence. He was also holding a man who was bound by magic and was struggling.

Zerg.

"There are indeed bugs there, and there are quite a lot of them." He frowned and said, "But their existence cannot be detected by spiritual thoughts at all. These guys seem to have the ability to avoid the detection of spiritual thoughts."

"It's no wonder that Jingyun Mountain and Junhuang Mountain were destroyed by them to avoid spiritual detection. For us monks, being able to avoid spiritual detection is almost invisible." Ding Xiaoyue was startled, "Then we should

what to do?"

"You guys should study this bug first. I'll follow their traces and catch up."

"Senior Brother Wu, are you going alone?" Meng Xiujun was startled and advised, "It's better not to take risks alone.

Wu Jie hesitated for a moment and then smiled.

He understood Meng Xiujun's kindness, but to be honest, if he wanted to do something risky, it would be more convenient for him to do it alone.

Apart from anything else, if there is only one person, he can freely use the Lightning Escape Technique. With the speed of the Lightning Escape Technique, even if he faces the Yang Shen True Immortal, he can probably run away if he cannot defeat him.

But if there are other companions around him, he will have to use small teleportation techniques to escape with his companions, and he may not be able to escape by then.

"These guys are just a bunch of burdens," Ye Hong, who happened to be in the form of a female man, said disdainfully, "All of them are not enough to fight you. If even you are in danger, they will just wipe them all out."

"Whether they are a burden or not depends on how they are used." Wu Jie said with a smile, "They are actually very capable, but they are just not suitable to come with me to find trouble with those bugs."

At his suggestion, everyone gave up their plan to go with him and stayed at Zhenbeiguan.

Among these six people, there are two Daoguo monks and one Celestial Being monk. Among the remaining three Dharma monks, one is a beast tamer and the other is an array mage. Even Zhong Qi is good at defensive spells and medical treatments.

With their protection, Zhenbeiguan should be safe unless there is a large-scale attack by the insect swarm.

With this premise, Wu Jie can safely set out to investigate the situation of the insects.

In other words, to hunt down the man behind the scenes who has been cursed by him, is constantly unlucky at the moment, and has been vaguely targeted by him.

"Ah sneeze" Ao Yan sneezed and rubbed his nose, feeling a little puzzled.

With his cultivation as a Yang Shen True Immortal, he shouldn’t catch a cold.

But he clearly felt that something was wrong with him since the night before yesterday.

This abnormality does not refer to the decline of mana or confusion in the Taoist heart, but to a sense of crisis, as if something unlucky and dangerous is happening.

But... in this small country, what unlucky and dangerous things will happen to him?

He is not one of those ordinary monks, he is the supreme Yang God True Immortal. Moreover, he is not one of those ineffective casual cultivators, he is a great Dragon Clan

Who has ever heard that dragons can get sick? Who has ever heard that Yang Shen Zhenxian can get sick? It’s a joke

Ao Yan rubbed his nose, put some dumbfounding thoughts behind him, and continued to observe the huge cocoon.

He could feel that inside this cocoon, a powerful breath of life was forming and growing vigorously.

Calculating that time was almost up, he walked up to the giant cocoon and started casting spells.

His spells are very complex. Every time he casts a spell, a spell will fly out and land on the giant cocoon, turning into an inconspicuous spiritual pattern.

One or two...ten or a hundred...In the end, there were more and more spiritual patterns, and they gradually became one.

When the first spiritual pattern landed on the giant cocoon, Ao Yan clearly felt the breath of life inside the giant cocoon vibrate, violently.

This is because the gestating creature feels the danger of being refined and is trying to resist.
To be continued...
