Beiliang County is located in the northwest of the empire. Starting from the imperial capital and entering the official road, even if you travel at full speed, it will probably take about ten days.
Even if they arrived in Beiliang County in ten days, not to mention the safety of Jiang Xiaofan's relatives, I am afraid that the murderer would have already left Beiliang County.
Therefore, after some discussion, as the captain of this demon-slaying team, Gu Tengfeng decided to enter the Tianwei Mountains and head directly to the northwest. This way, there would be a shortcut to reach Beiliang County within three days!
However, if you go deep into the mountains and forests, you will inevitably enter the territory of those powerful monsters, so although taking shortcuts is faster, it is also risky.
Jiang Xiaofan was already going crazy with anxiety. There was no way he could wait ten days, so he chose the shortcut via the Tianwei Mountains without hesitation.
Naturally, others could understand Jiang Xiaofan's inner anxiety, so they all decided to take a risk and try to get to Beiliang County as soon as possible.
Soon, Gu Tengfeng handed the scroll of the demon-slaying mission to the mission hall. The staff of the mission hall saw the sudden appearance of the "demon-slaying scroll", which was obviously a little strange. It just had the seal of the dean on it, so naturally it didn't.
Possibility of fraud.
Ling Feng also took the time to visit Yan Cangtian and told him that he had accepted a demon-slaying mission, so that he would not have to come to him again in a short period of time.
As for Lin Xianer and Yun Yiyi, they naturally made good preparations, and finally, half an hour later, everyone gathered at the entrance of Tianwei Academy.
Demon-slaying mission, official action!
Under the leadership of Gu Tengfeng, the group carefully avoided those high-level monsters to avoid meaningless battles and wasting time.
The first day passed without any surprises. We had left the Tianwei Mountain Range and entered a swamp area filled with miasma.
The name of this place is "God Buried Bog". Although the word "God Buried" is a bit exaggerated, it also shows that this bog is full of dangers.
Once trapped in this miasma filled with miasma, even a master of Gu Tengfeng's level would probably die without a burial place.
Therefore, Gu Tengfeng did not recommend taking this shortcut from the beginning.
He wasn't really worried about himself and Ling Feng, but the three of them, Jiang Xiaofan, seemed a bit "cumbersome".
However, now that the decision has been made, Gu Tengfeng will not go back on it and can only move forward!
"Everyone, follow me carefully. If you make a mistake, you will fall into the swamp. Not to mention the poison in the swamp, there are also some terrifying monsters growing in it, so don't be careless when you go there."
Gu Tengfeng took out a sheepskin scroll from the Naling Ring, carefully unfolded it, pointed to the place marked with black spots, and said in a deep voice: "These places are dangerous places in this area, with five or even six levels.
There are monster beasts in and out, so you must not get close."
"Yes." Everyone nodded hurriedly, and Lin Xian'er was secretly glad that she listened to the teacher and let Gu Tengfeng be the captain.
"careful!"
Ling Feng expanded his infinite vision and was also vigilant about everything around him. After all, those monsters lurking in the mire may be extremely good at hiding their auras. At this time, divine sense induction seems pale and powerless. Only infinite vision is absolutely reliable.
.
boom!
Sure enough, before Ling Feng finished speaking, the sound of fighting suddenly came from not far ahead, and a huge figure broke out of the swamp like a hill and launched an attack on a team of five people.
"It's the Ghost-Eyed Crocodile!"
Lin Xian'er exclaimed and quickly drew out a soft sword and placed it across her chest, her expression a little solemn.
Adult ghost-eyed crocodiles can reach the fourth level of advanced level (the peak of Huayuan Realm). These ferocious predators have a trace of the blood of ancient giant crocodiles and are extremely powerful. Although the ghost-eyed crocodile in front of you is huge.
Fortunately, the aura is only at the fourth-level intermediate level, but even so, this ghost-eyed crocodile is definitely a nightmare for the five-person team!
"Looking at their costumes, they should be a hunting team hunting monsters in this area!"
Ling Feng touched the bridge of his nose and remembered the blood python group he met in the Forest of Heavenly Veins. Their blade hunting team was the kind of people who lived on the edge of a knife.
"Well, it should be, let's take a look first and then talk." Gu Tengfeng was very cautious and did not immediately come to the rescue.
After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and if you act too good to be a good person, you are likely to get bitten back.
"roar!"
The Ghost-Eyed Crocodile roared ferociously, spitting out bursts of black smoke from its mouth, and swept out its bone-spurred tail behind it. This guy seemed to have not eaten for a long time. When he saw a human invading his territory, he immediately became ferocious.
It rushed out. Today, it wants to have a feast!
Ling Feng raised his eyes and looked at the five-man team. The people in this team were all warriors in the early stage of the Huayuan Realm. The hunting team composed of such a lineup was naturally far more powerful than the blood python's hunting blade team. It should be able to be rated.
To the "Super Class A" hunting team.
However, even for a team like this, it would still be very difficult when facing the Ghost-Eyed Crocodile.
The leader was a heroic woman with thick eyebrows and big eyes, extremely tall and wearing soft armor. If Ling Feng hadn't seen the exaggerated bulge on her chest, he would have thought she was a man.
Although this woman is taller than an average man, her body proportions are very good, and she is a very attractive type, giving people a heroic appearance.
The long sword in her hand is also a heavy sword that matches her body shape, and she carries extremely powerful power when she makes moves. It seems that she has also practiced some body-building techniques, but her level is quite limited.
Thinking about it, if these people were all geniuses and monsters, they would not be hunters and live a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife.
The other four people in this hunting team are three men and one woman. It is worth mentioning that the woman among them looks relatively young and has a pretty face. She is considered a beauty.
At this moment, each of these people looked at the ghost-eyed crocodile with panic expressions. Although they were experienced veterans and cooperated flawlessly, the strength of the ghost-eyed crocodile was already infinitely close to that of the late Huayuan realm.
, coupled with the extremely powerful body of the Ghost-Eyed Crocodile, it is really difficult to kill it effectively.
They originally accepted a mission to collect herbs here, but they encountered a ghost-eyed crocodile, which was an unforeseen disaster.
"Get out of here!"
One of the men in black robes swung his long sword, using the force of his sword to hit the ghost-eyed crocodile's tail. However, the strength of the ghost-eyed crocodile was so terrifying.
With a "click!" sound, the man in black robes immediately flew out upside down. The right hand holding the sword was bent at an extremely exaggerated angle and hung weakly behind his back.
"ah!"
The man in black robe fell to the ground and screamed in pain. However, he should be lucky that the ghost-eyed crocodile did not bite him with his mouth just now, otherwise his arm would have been bitten off directly. The fracture can be corrected.
, but if it is swallowed by the ghost-eyed crocodile, there is no possibility of it growing back.
"Black Wind!" The other team members suddenly exclaimed.
"Bai Yushuang, take care of Hei Feng. Everyone else, come together!"
The heroic woman in the lead roared and slashed out with her sword. In this environment, they would definitely not be able to escape the ghost-eyed crocodile. Only by surrendering this giant crocodile would they have a chance of survival.
