The last time he met this so-called Marquis Wen'an, Chen Yuan remained restrained and was also wary of this person's existence. After all, he was in the heart of the demon country and it was not easy to tear his face off, but he clearly drew a line between Chu and Han.
Now, this person is not following the rules and is still following behind, which proves that this person has bad intentions. He is responsible for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers on this trip. Chuanzhongguan and the Ninth Mountain have begun to take action. If something goes wrong at the critical moment, it will not be as simple as his life, so there can be no mistakes.
Anyone who hinders him or threatens him must be eliminated as soon as possible!
As he spoke, Chen Yuan's eyes turned cold, and the temperature in the air dropped.
After hearing this, the three bodyguards in front of him felt Chen Yuan's undisguised murderous intent and their expressions became stern.
Among them, the Jade Unicorn Jin Yushan frowned slightly, took a step forward, and spoke in a serious tone.
"Brother Chen, this ship was able to withstand the attack of dragons and tigers before. This man called Wen Anhou was even more powerful than a dragon and tiger when he was alive. He is mysterious and unpredictable, and we don't know how deep he is. Plus, it is not appropriate for us to be exposed now. Once we take action, if we cannot get rid of the opponent in a short time, it will inevitably alert the big monster's spying, and then it will be even more troublesome." Jin Yushan was not saying these discouraging words, but analyzing the current situation, he felt that killing Wen Anhou was not worth it.
Kuang Dao Yu Wenguang was silent, while Hu Yanqing was a little impatient.
"What dragon and tiger power? This person doesn't have the demeanor of a dragon or tiger at all. He followed the three of us stealthily. There must be some shady conspiracy. Brother Chen has warned us, which means there is a reason to kill this person."
After saying that, the burly man turned to Chen Yuan and said, "But what Brother Jin said makes sense. Brother Chen wants to kill this guy, do you have any good ideas?"
This was straightforward. Chen Yuan's eyebrows moved, and he stood up from the bluestone, came down, and narrowed his eyes slightly. "It's true that this person is mysterious, but have you ever thought about it? If he really has the ability, why did he close the cabin door and not show up when we were injured at the beginning of the ship? Afterwards, why did he act so sneaky and why did he fear us?"
"Maybe he was also injured, or a wisp of spirit is not enough to scare the four of us." He said this to dispel the fear of the three Taisui Mountain guardians towards the ship, so as to persuade the three to take action together.
As for these words, they were also carefully analyzed by him, not just empty talk. The other party claimed to be a dragon and tiger who had been in meditation for more than 200 years, and left a trace of spirit in the world. He suspected that these were just a cover released by the other party, and they might not be the real ones. Even if they were, so what? They had been in meditation for more than 200 years, leaving a trace of spirit in the world. How much strength did they have left? I'm afraid they were just struggling to survive. You know, after getting to know each other, the North Sea Dragon Girl in his Hutian Space was probably a dragon and tiger before she was injured.
He has fought with dragons and tigers before, and has strong support, so he feels confident!
"Besides, we are already in a dangerous place. We don't know how many risks we will take if we fight our way out. I have cast a spell and have begun to arrange for the troops outside to support us. There must not be any mistakes. Otherwise, it will not only be the lives of the four of us that are at stake, but the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and even the safety of the entire Shu area may be implicated by the four of us. Therefore, I will not allow any factors that are unfavorable to us to exist. This person must be killed, and he must be killed with one strike. Otherwise, it will be difficult to guard against him next time!"
When Chen Yuan said this, his tone was grim, and his light golden pupils slowly swept over the three people, causing them to look shocked and hold their breath.
These words instantly made them feel the weight of responsibility they shouldered. Their hearts became heavy. They were also completely awakened, and the hesitation and fear on their faces quickly faded away.
Yes!
They followed Chen Yuan to seek a way to escape. The danger involved involved the soldiers from Shu, so how could they fail at the critical moment?
Just listen to Brother Chen and don't hesitate.
"What are you waiting for? Go get him!"
Hu Yanqing's eyes turned fierce and his tone was rough.
"I want to see what's in that ship, too."
Kuang Dao Yu Wenguang also nodded.
Jade Unicorn Jin Yushan became serious and clasped his fists, "I will listen to Brother Chen."
"Just one more problem to solve?"
"Where can we start without attracting the attention of the demon?" As he spoke, his eyes flickered as he looked at Chen Yuan. Based on his understanding of the Ninth Mountain General, he knew that the other party was meticulous. It could be seen from the ancestor of the Fang family that this general was meticulous in his thinking. When he made a decision, he must have already planned it in advance.
"I think Brother Chen should have a plan!"
Chen Yuan didn't say anything, he just raised his hand.
I saw a wisp of golden fire coming out from the palm of my hand, then it swirled up into a whirlwind several feet high, and then turned into wisps of golden sand, and a sand table appeared above the palm of my hand.
The regional map of the Shiwandashan Mountains emerged!
Chen Yuan's gaze fell to the southwest of the red dot where they were, at a place where Yinshan Mountain and Xiaoci Mountain met, and his other hand pointed at one of the spots.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed here and surged upwards. In an instant, a shadow emerged in the cave.
In the projection, there was a cloud of mist and countless wind tornadoes that were thousands of feet high and directly connected the sky and the earth. The scene was spectacular, and in this strange and beautiful scene, one could imagine the danger in the storm.
And in the clouds, nothing can be seen clearly, and no one knows what dangers are hidden there.
"Brother Chen, do you want to ambush and kill that man here?" Jin Yushan looked at the projection and found the scene shocking, feeling vaguely uneasy.
"What is this place?"
"It looks like a much more dangerous place than the one we accidentally stumbled into before."
Hu Yanqing's eyebrows also jumped, and he was a little surprised.
Chen Yuan's face was solemn as he spoke slowly.
"This place is called 'Sin City' by the demons of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. I don't know the exact origin of this name, but according to the description of the predecessors, even the demons in the mountains are reluctant to enter this place easily because it is easy to get lost and it is very dangerous. You can't go deep into it. There is also a kind of monster in it, which is said to be very difficult to deal with."
Chen Yuan informed the three guards of the information about this place, including the dangers. As for the rumors that there were traces of living people inside, Chen Yuan didn't know whether it was true or not, so he didn't say anything.
Jin Yushan and the other two couldn't help but show doubt on their faces when they heard this, "Since this place is dangerous, Brother Chen wants to set an ambush here?"
"Because there is no better choice!" Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, and then said, "This place is a place where demons are reluctant to enter, and it can hide our tracks very well. It will take some time for my people to send accurate information, so this place is a good hiding place. Of course, Chen is not a reckless person. Let's go and see before drawing conclusions. If it is feasible, we will only attack on the periphery and not go deep. I think with our cultivation level, it should not be a problem."
He said, with a sneer,
"If the other party follows us, he will definitely come, and he might even think that this is exactly what he wants."
Jin Yushan and the other two looked at each other and felt that Chen Yuan's words were logically rigorous and a good idea.
"Brother Chen has made his own decision. The three of us will follow his orders. When will we set off?"
"Leave now!"
"Maybe they have already followed us and are in a hidden river below." Chen Yuan was never a slow-moving person. He knew someone was thinking about him, which made him feel uncomfortable if he didn't get rid of it. He flicked his sleeves, and the golden sand table in his hand was retracted. Then the golden flames under his feet enveloped the other three people, and then turned into a fire tornado, breaking through the waterfall outside, soaring into the sky, and heading southwest. After a few flashes, the flames dissipated, and the traces in the void quickly disappeared.
One day later, at the border between Yinshan Mountain and Xiaoci Mountain.
In stark contrast to the vast green fields and majestic mountains in the Ten Thousand Mountains, here there are thousands of miles of barren land and the ground is bare, with only vaguely visible dry riverbeds, dead trees, and endless sandstorms.
Strong winds blew, and sand waves rose on the sand dunes, just like rolling waves of golden wheat. However, in the blowing yellow sand, white animal bones appeared from time to time, dotted in the yellow sea of sand.
And in the depths of the desert, the scene was spectacular. The sky and the earth were covered in a vast expanse of white. The storm tornadoes connecting the sky and the earth seemed to be able to crush everything into pieces. Some were so thick that they stretched for miles, and the sight was extremely horrifying.
That is the real Sea of Death, without any life at all. The surrounding desert is the trace left by the storms that once raged!
At this moment, the sun is scorching here, and the hot sand and gravel have burned the air into a blur.
On the outskirts of the sand sea, on a golden sand dune, a snow-white animal skeleton was half buried under the yellow sand. Between the empty eye sockets of the skull, a small khaki lizard held its head high, motionless, like a sculpture. The eyes on both sides of its head were bulging outwards, and its eyelids were closed, leaving only a tiny gap.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up on the sand dune, and then the sand pile below began to swirl. Four streams of yellow sand swirled up and quickly condensed like a tower. The lizard was startled and immediately opened its eyes, and then its four legs ran wildly towards the bottom of the sand dune as if they were equipped with motors.
In the blink of an eye, a hand stretched out, grabbed the running little fellow through the air, and the little fellow flew back and fell into the hand.
As the hand's gaze moved upwards, the rolled-up sand pile condensed into four figures. They were the "Chicken Head Beheading Four" who came here according to the map!
Chen Yuan held the little lizard in his hand, took a look, and found it was just an ordinary lizard. He threw it away casually. The overly frightened little thing immediately ran away, then burrowed under a piece of sand and disappeared.
"It seems that we have come to the right place. There are basically no living things along the way, and the vitality of this place has been extremely thin due to the storm. I don't think monsters will live here. It's a good place for us to hide." Chen Yuan patted the gravel in his hands, his eyes flickering slightly.
Jin Yushan, Yuwen Guang and Huyan Qing stood on both sides of Chen Yuan, raising their heads slightly and looking into the distance with different expressions, but there was a hint of shock in their eyes.
In the distance, tornadoes connecting heaven and earth were appearing like they were destroying the heavens and the earth. Dark clouds were rolling, with lightning flashing in the middle, and thick fog below.
Even a hundred miles away, one can still feel the terrifying power!
Even they, as Musashi, felt a little frightened.
No wonder this place is a forbidden place for demons!
Chen Yuan also looked up and looked into the distance. In his eyes, although the storm in the distance was scary, it was also an excellent place to hide and ambush.
"You guys wait here first. I'll go forward and try it out. Make sure you step carefully." Chen Yuan said, and then he stepped forward and turned into a stream of light and walked forward.
About half an incense stick of time later, Chen Yuan rushed back.
"Brother Chen, how is it?" Jin Yushan and the other two asked.
"Chen just went forward sixty miles and reached the outskirts of the storm. There began to appear strong winds like sharp blades, and there was also fog that could disrupt people's perception and vision, but it did not pose a threat yet."
As he spoke, Chen Yuanhu waved his sleeves, and three black flags with gold edges, about half a meter high, flew out from his sleeves.
This is the flag of the commander of the Ninth Mountain!
The three main flags flew in front of the three people from Jinyu Mountain, and Chen Yuan spoke up, "This is the mountain-cutting flag of the Ninth Mountain. Each of you will hold one. Next, I will teach you the Three Talents Dragon Trapping Formation. Please open the Niwan."
"When the time comes, the two formations will be superimposed, plus three people will be there to support them, and together with me and two other fellow Taoists, I will be able to lead the killing formation. I think that will be enough to give that guy a hard time."
Don't forget that Chen Yuan has a magical power of formation, which he passed on to three cavalrymen under his command to lead troops into battle. He rarely uses it himself, but it came in handy at this moment.
This Three Talents Dragon-Trapping Formation was also completed by him quickly adding points and directly reaching the top level of understanding.
Jin Yushan and the other two nodded, first swung their sleeves to retract the mountain-cutting flags in front of them, then sat down cross-legged and circulated their Qi. Chen Yuan directly pinched his sword fingers, opened the third eye between his eyebrows, circulated the Dharma Eye, shot out golden light, divided it into three, and shot his top-level understanding of the Three Talents Dragon Trapping Formation into their eyebrows.
The three of them groaned and quickly absorbed this stream of information.
About an hour later, the three guards understood the part of the formation that they were responsible for and opened their eyes one after another. Given the complexity of this formation, it would normally not be possible to open their eyes so quickly, but this was Chen Yuan feeding the three people directly.
"How are you three?"
Chen Yuan was regulating his breathing beside him and opened his eyes.
"This formation is quite interesting. I didn't expect Brother Chen to be so proficient in the six arts of martial arts. I admire him."
Jin Yushan opened his eyes, a light flashed in them, and he saluted Chen Yuan. His understanding of Chen Yuan rose to a new level, and he admired this General from the bottom of his heart.
After all, the art of formation is profound and difficult to get started with. The threshold is even higher than that of talisman master and alchemy master. If you want to master it, you need to spend a lot of time and energy.
"It's just a side road!" Chen Yuan nodded calmly, "Are you three ready?"
Jin Yushan and the other two nodded.
"Then let's get started!"
There was a gleam in Chen Yuan's eyes, and then he and the three of them disappeared deeper into the desert.
Then, peace returned here.
The sand waves rise and fall, the stars move, and time passes slowly.
As day turns to night, the sky is full of stars and the constellations move.
That day and night, a roar was heard from the place where they disappeared.
Then there was the sound of big waves and the hum of sails being blown by the wind. (End of this chapter)
