"Tsk tsk, I'm afraid I'm the only Gem Valley that can bring this group of people together." Li Xuan thought to himself.
Although Li Xuan is confident in his ability, he has not expanded to the point where he can fight seven of them. Moreover, he still doesn't know the opponent's real goal, so he can't make enemies right away.
Li Xuan left quietly and sneaked into the mountains. He only hoped that he would have better luck in the next few days and find the gem mine before these people. As for how to deal with these people, he didn't have a good idea yet.
The next day, Li Xuan had almost no time to rest. He had been searching for the location of the mineral deposits according to the messages left by Sima De.
After turning over a hillside, there were no particularly high mountains nearby. Li Xuan looked to the southwest. Just when the setting sun was shining on the mountains, he immediately saw a strange reflection behind a mountain in the distance.
"That's it." Li Xuan's heart moved, knowing that he had finally found his target.
Just as he was trying to find a way to the valley, Li Xuan suddenly felt something strange behind him.
He turned around and saw that the team appeared again on a hillside not far away. Judging from the direction of their actions, it seemed that they were also heading towards this high point.
"It's really haunting." Li Xuan frowned.
During this day, he had discovered the other party's traces several times.
This team is more proficient in climbing over mountains and ridges than Li Xuan. Although they take more breaks, they can always catch up with Li Xuan quickly.
If Li Xuan hadn't known how to hide his whereabouts, they might have discovered him.
"Oops, if they go down at this speed, they will soon find the valley." Li Xuan thought.
He actually thought about wiping out this team, that was his usual method.
But the current problem is that even if ghosts and demons are added, the power on his side is still too weak.
The opponent's strength is also very important. Once they get into a entangled situation, Li Xuan's side will definitely lose.
It was precisely because he did not have the confidence to win that Li Xuan did not take action. However, the current situation was very serious. If he did not strike first, the situation would only go in an even more unfavorable direction.
"What should we do?" Li Xuan thought hard for a while, and finally opened a different space, summoned ghosts and demons, and muttered to them.
The ghost squeaked, happily jumped into the rocks, and soon disappeared.
The demon also climbed up the cliff on one side. His bloated figure was actually very flexible, and he quickly found an excellent ambush point.
After arranging the two helpers, Li Xuan took out another bottle of elixir from the ring. It was the invisible elixir made from milk thistle before. He only used one bottle and had five bottles left. Now he just sent it.
use.
Li Xuan's idea is very simple: delay the opponent's actions as much as possible and prevent them from reaching this high point before sunset.
Chen Xuan's Team, this is the external name of this team headed by Master Chen Xuan. Their true identity is treasure hunters.
Treasure hunters, as the name suggests, are people who make a living by searching for treasures.
They traveled throughout the whole year and month in the remote mountains and rivers of the Moon Shadow Realm in search of various treasures left behind by the ancients.
They might not be able to find a treasure for three to five years, but if they find just one, it will take them half a lifetime.
Because this profession often involves danger, the first requirement for being a treasure hunter is considerable skill.
There is no weakling in this team. Including Master Chen Xuan, all of them are Golden Core monks who are worth ten. They have been traveling in the Yuelong Mountains for nearly twenty days. They encountered many dangerous situations, but they were easily solved.
.
In their opinion, this dusk will be spent in peace. Once they reach the high hillside ahead, they will camp and set off again early tomorrow morning.
Walking at the front of the team was Ximen Lie, who was responsible for opening the way and guarding.
The best scout in the team is Chen Xuan, who ranks second. As an old barbarian hunter, he can find traces from far away. He is also the leader of the team.
The demon clan Shangguan Wu, Ouyang Qi and the alchemist Pang Na followed closely beside Chen Xuan. They looked around vigilantly as they walked.
These three people are the backbone of the team, known as the "iron triangle". As long as there are three of them, the team will not collapse.
At the end of the team are two humans. Their faces are exactly the same. They are actually twins. Their personalities are also very similar. They almost never speak. The only difference is that the armor occasionally exposed under their cloaks is of different colors. One is
One is bright silvery white, and the other is pitch black, exuding a strange aura.
What's even weirder is that there seems to be some kind of disagreement between them. One is inclined to continue exploring with Master Chen Xuan, while the other feels that this operation is a waste of time.
There are undercurrents of division in the team's secrets, but at least on the surface, they are still an iron plate.
In this Yuelong Mountain Range, unless they encounter extremely ferocious monsters, they are invincible.
"The sun is going down soon. Everyone, please hurry up. I have to go to the top of the mountain to take a look at the nearby situation. Maybe I can see the reflection of gemstones under the setting sun." Although Master Chen Xuan was carrying a heavy ax and musket,
But his steps were still very light.
Barbarians are indeed a people living in mountainous areas, and they are much better than humans at crossing mountains.
With Master Chen Xuan's words, the team's speed increased significantly. Ximen Lie at the front jumped briskly onto a boulder and reminded his companions behind him: "The road here is relatively narrow, everyone, please be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise from the cliff in front of him. A huge stone got loose for some reason and rolled down the cliff. Looking at the direction of travel, it turned out to be heading straight for Ximen Lie.
.
"Be careful!" Master Chen Xuan behind him roared, and everyone else was also shocked.
On such a narrow mountain road, once you are attacked by a huge boulder, there is almost no room to escape.
Fortunately, Ximen Lie had extremely tenacious nerves. When he saw the danger coming, he jumped forward suddenly and rolled on the spot, just to avoid the coverage of the boulder.
"Boom", huge rocks fell down, smashing the originally narrow mountain road into pieces. Countless large and small rocks rolled down again, and fell into the bottomless valley.
The ground buzzed and trembled, and the cliff above the head was shaken by this, and a lot of gravel fell down, as if there was a rain of stones. After a full five or six minutes, the whole mountain returned to silence.
