Early the next morning, at a quarter of the clock, Yu Liang came to visit on time.
The two exchanged a few simple words of politeness, and Gao Yuan followed the other person and walked straight towards another small building in the inn.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the door of the room rented by Shi Jun and others. At this time, the door opened, and the other party had obviously received the news in advance.
Under Yu Liang's introduction, the two parties quickly exchanged names. Taking this opportunity, Gao Yuan also took in the looks of several people in the room.
Shi Jun, male, about forty years old, a very strong man, fourth level of Kaiyuan Realm.
Zhai Youzhi, male, about fifty years old, middle-aged man with rich appearance, third level of Kaiyuan Realm.
Yan Huaili, male, about sixty years old, with a pale face, third level of Kaiyuan Realm.
Yan Xueli, male, Yan Huaili's younger brother, similar in age and appearance, second level of Kaiyuan realm.
Yu Liang knew how to measure things. After introducing the two parties to each other, he didn't stay long. He quickly said that he had something to do and left, leaving a few people behind to get to know each other better.
The room that Shi Jun and others rented was slightly larger than the one in Gao Yuan, but it was still less than twenty square meters.
The furnishings in the house are also simple, with only five square stone tables covered with futons and nothing else.
I guess this is the kind of Datong shop with five people per room that the clerk introduced before.
After seeing off Yu Liang, several people turned around and took their seats. Gao Yuan calmly looked at Shi Jun, who was sitting opposite.
Contrary to his name, Shi Jun is actually not handsome at all. Not only does he have dark skin, but his facial features are also very ordinary.
But he looks very strong, and with his sharp eyes, he has a different kind of capable aura in his movements.
As Shi Jun is the team leader, in his presence, he will naturally talk to Gao Yuan on behalf of the team members.
"I heard from Shopkeeper Yu that this is the first time for Fellow Daoist Fang to go deep into the gray desert?"
After a few simple polite words, Shi Jun straightened his face and asked directly.
"That's right. Before this, I only had experience in the outer reaches of the gray desert. This is my first time going deep into the gray desert." Gao Yuan said without hesitation after hearing this.
"Hmm, I wonder what kind of spells your friend is good at?" Shi Jun heard this, pondered for a moment and then asked.
…
Shi Junxuan was quite cautious. After carefully asking Gao Yuan about the spells he was good at, he still didn't think it was enough.
He took him not far outside the city and witnessed with his own eyes Gao Yuan's ordinary version of the Explosive Fire Curse and Ice Curse, using master-level skills.
invite.
Then, as if they were afraid that Gao Yuan would misunderstand, Shi Jun and others each cast their own spells in front of Gao Yuan before returning to the inn in the city.
…
After returning to the inn, Shi Jun spent more than two hours explaining to Gao Yuan in detail the various situations that the team would encounter in the gray desert and the corresponding treatment plans.
His eloquence is very good and his speech is very organized. After listening to it, Gao Yuan immediately felt that he benefited a lot.
He declined the other party's invitation to move in with him, and after agreeing to gather and leave at 11:30 tomorrow, he stood up to say goodbye and went straight back to his rented room.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Gao Yuan drank some dried meat with water in his room, which was enough to finish his breakfast, and then he went to the door of the agreed-upon inn.
At this time, Shi Jun and others were already waiting there. After meeting, they exchanged greetings for a while, then joined the flow of people leaving the city and headed straight for the south gate of Camp No. 1.
…
after an hour.
The demon-hunting team has gone dozens of miles southward and has officially arrived at the second outer area of the gray desert.
At this time, the five people kept a distance of about two meters from each other, and slowly moved forward in a regular pentagonal formation.
Among them, brothers Yan Huaili and Yan Xueli are in the first row, Zhai Youzhi and Gao Yuan are in the second row, and Shi Jun is alone in the middle of the third row.
According to the arrangement that was discussed in advance, Gao Yuan looked forward, while restraining his urge to look behind him with his spiritual thoughts, secretly looking forward to meeting the first succubus.
The succubus is the main monster in the second level area. It is an intermediate monster whose strength corresponds to the Kaiyuan realm of human monks.
This is a very strange monster. According to Shi Jun's description yesterday, both the way it appears and the way it attacks are quite strange.
It appears in a strange way because it only appears in the "perception blind zone" with a radius of thirty meters around the monk.
The so-called ‘perception blind zone’ is defined relative to the perceptual limits of the human body.
For Kaiyuan realm monks, their perception of the surroundings comes from their five senses and spiritual thoughts, especially vision and spiritual thoughts, which have the largest range of perception.
The blind area of perception refers to the areas that cannot be sensed by the five senses and spiritual thoughts, and succubi will appear in these areas that cannot be sensed.
Based on Gao Yuan's current state, he was looking ahead, taking the entire fan-shaped area in front of him into his line of sight.
When his spiritual thoughts are not detected, the areas outside his line of sight are his blind spots.
If he were alone at this time, the succubus would randomly appear in any area within a radius of thirty meters that he could not see!
"Then if I use my spiritual thoughts to directly cover the entire body within thirty meters, will I not encounter the succubus?"
When hearing Shi Jun talk about this yesterday, Gao Yuan subconsciously raised his own questions.
Shi Jun was not surprised at all by his question. He looked at Gao Yuan and smiled lightly:
"Indeed, the premise is that you can always cover your body with spiritual thoughts for thirty meters."
Gao Yuan was even more surprised when he heard this, because the consumption of pure divine mind coverage is actually very small.
With his current intensity of spiritual thoughts, he can easily maintain it for several hours. If multiple people cooperate with each other, wouldn't it be possible to maintain it as long as they want?
As if seeing his doubts, Shi Jun continued to explain:
"This is the weird thing about the succubus. Although it can only attack after it appears, it has always existed, but we can't see it.
If all blind spots are covered with spiritual thoughts, the emergence of succubi can indeed be effectively prevented in a short period of time.
But in the process, it will continue to have an impact on people subconsciously, causing people to enter a strange state of absence without even realizing it.
Although this state lasts for a very short time, it is enough for the succubus to appear!"
"In addition, there is a more important point. In the process of using spiritual thoughts to shield the succubi, the number of succubi hidden in the surroundings will continue to accumulate. The longer the shielding time, the more succubi will eventually appear!"
"Many years ago, there was a senior who was at the ninth level of the Kaiyuan Realm who majored in spiritual thoughts. He used the power of spiritual thoughts to shield himself in the gray desert for a full six hours, and there were no accidents during this period.
When he safely returned from the gray desert and came within a hundred feet of the camp wall, he suddenly became strangely distracted for a moment. In this moment, do you know how many succubi appeared around him?"
Having said this, Shi Jun paused for a moment, looked at Gao Yuan with a strange smile on his face, and then gestured with three fingers and said:
"More than three hundred succubi! They drowned that senior in an instant. If there hadn't been an ancestor from the Hunyuan Realm in the city at that time, I don't know how much trouble would have happened!"
Gao Yuan took a breath of air when he heard this. There are more than 300 succubi whose realm corresponds to the Kaiyuan realm. Even a monk in the Hunyuan realm will feel a big headache when he sees them, right?
…
Suddenly, Shi Jun, who was at the end of the team and had been grasping the team's blind spots, suddenly shouted:
"coming!"
At the same time, Gao Yuan felt that a strange and gloomy aura suddenly arose in the gray-white chaotic demonic energy surrounding him.
He suddenly turned his head and saw a pale white figure three meters behind Shi Jun.
It seemed to be wearing a set of tight-fitting white clothes, and it seemed to be completely naked, with no trace of rise and fall on its pale white body.
Its face is very blurry, and its vaguely visible eyes and mouth are slightly distorted, outlining a weird smile.
