Everyone was much more vigilant about the subsequent actions, and would not provoke other monsters unless it was unavoidable.
With the first two adventures, Hai Hualou and others had found a relatively safe road. It only took ten days for the group to reach the outskirts of the Xishan ruins.
If an inexperienced team fights ten battles a day and has to walk on the corpses of monsters every day, the traveling time alone will take several times longer.
"Climbing over that mountain is the outskirts of the Xishan ruins..."
Standing on a high cliff, Haihuo pointed to a high mountain not far away and said:
"I would like to emphasize again that the Xishan ruins are very weird. There are many phantom formations, and there is often something else a few feet away. Everyone must follow the team closely."
"There are many dangerous monsters inside, but the same kind may be more dangerous!"
…
After giving the final instructions, Haihuo led the way and headed straight to the mountain.
As soon as he stepped onto the mountain peak, Xu Wen felt a chill on the tip of his nose. The temperature was very different a short distance away. The temperature here was lower than outside the mountain.
And I don’t know when it started, a faint mist began to appear in the air. Although it did not affect the line of sight, it always gave people a vague and unreal feeling.
After crossing the mountain peak, the fog suddenly became much thicker, and the sight could no longer exceed a hundred meters.
From time to time, strange brilliance flashed through the mist, like various projections from another world, but upon closer inspection, nothing could be seen.
And Xu Wen also clearly felt that the deeper into the ruins, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy.
It is still only on the periphery of the ruins, but it already has a concentration of spiritual energy that is not inferior to that of the outer layer of Qingfeng City.
No wonder everyone is willing to take risks here. Even if nothing is gained, with this concentration of spiritual energy, there will be no big loss.
After dozens of feet, Xu Wen suddenly stopped.
As soon as he stopped, the rear team also stopped immediately, and the entire team soon followed suit and stood still.
"What did you find?"
Sea Coral asked in a low voice.
"Some people are coming, quite a few!"
Xu Wen replied in a low voice while drawing out the Black Iron Magic Sword.
The current team already had great trust in Xu Wen. Upon hearing this, they immediately drew their weapons and formed a battle formation without Hai Guoran's order.
Many times, cultivators are more wary of their own kind than other living beings.
Where there is no danger, people of the same kind are the most dangerous!
"Everyone is on alert and listen to my orders!"
He didn't expect to encounter the same kind of people just after entering the Xishan ruins, and Sea Coral was also a little surprised.
After a cup of tea, a group of ten or so people appeared in front of everyone, dusty and tired.
Judging from their mixed expressions of exhaustion and excitement, you can tell that they must have just returned from an adventure, and they have returned with a full load.
A dozen or so people unsuspectingly walked into the circle of people, and after walking seven or eight steps, the leader felt something was wrong.
Just as he was about to order others to be on guard, Xu Wen and others appeared from all directions and surrounded them in the center.
All kinds of spells, magic weapons, and spiritual talismans were ready to be fired and aimed at them.
The leader's face was a little blue. They never expected to be ambushed at this most relaxed time. Once they fought, they would be surrounded in the center and they would be in bad luck.
Not only the gains from this adventure, but also life may be lost here.
For thousands of seconds, sweat dripped from his forehead. Just as he was thinking frantically about whether to surrender or fight to the death, a voice suddenly came from the mist:
"Zhou Huayu? Is this Junior Brother Zhou Huayu?"
Recognizing Hai Guoru's voice, Zhou Huayu immediately said loudly:
"It's me, it's me, is it Senior Sister Hai..."
Putting away the magic weapons and spells, Sea Coral slowly walked out of the fog.
Seeing the sea coral, Zhou Huayu let out a long breath, and his heart that jumped into his throat finally returned to his heart.
Seeing the two people talking continuously, Xu Wen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He has also killed people and will take the initiative to search for trophies, but that is based on the premise that the other party is looking for trouble.
He would never do such a thing by taking the initiative to kill people and seize treasures.
After talking for a while, the two said goodbye and passed by each other.
After walking a few dozen feet, Haikou suddenly said:
"Chu Yin, you come to the front; Han Yong, you go to the rear team to be responsible for supporting; Xu Wen, you go to the squadron and take over Chu Yin's position!"
With a series of orders, Xu Wen was promoted to the position of squadron captain.
Xu Wen, who was still in the middle stage of Qi refining, was already on an equal footing with Hai Coral and several others in the later stages of Qi refining.
However, no one questioned this order. Even Han Yong, who was transferred to the rear team, did not complain at all and even nodded friendly to Xu Wen.
In the world of cultivation, strength is the most important thing, not just the realm.
Xu Wen's performance along the way has completely proved his strength and has been recognized by all the team members.
It is the most reasonable arrangement to put Xu Wen, a person with keen perception, in the center who can best communicate with all the team members.
Who wouldn't want someone in their team to detect the danger in advance when taking risks, a business involving wearing one's head on one's belt?
With Borewings and Black Wind Rats, Xu Wen can guarantee four hours of warning. When the summons are about to end, he will try his best to order them to conduct long-distance reconnaissance, and gain another two hours of warning time.
At other times, there is also the role of the Buddha refining the ghost banner. Together, it can basically maintain an alert state for eight hours.
When taking risks such as highly stressful things, you must leave enough rest time to ensure that your physical strength and mental energy are in the best condition. Eight hours can basically cover a day's adventure.
As the team continued to go deeper, the fog became thicker and thicker, eventually limiting everyone's sight to a range of fifty meters.
The range of the spell is far beyond that of ordinary weapons. This distance can be considered within reach. Once an enemy is encountered, there is basically not much time to react, and he will be immobilized and killed in an instant.
Fortunately, after that, the thick fog did not continue to increase, but it did not exceed everyone's limit.
The concentration of spiritual energy here is enough to ensure the cultivation of monks in the middle stage of Qi refining. Whenever there is a break, everyone seizes the time to meditate without wasting such an opportunity.
"We are about to enter the official ruins area. We have explored here twice. There is not much danger, but there are many nasty ghosts."
Early the next morning, standing at the mouth of a hazy valley, Haihuo looked at the crowd and said.
People who have been here a few times know this very well, but Xu Wen was secretly frightened when he heard it.
I traveled all day yesterday and didn't even enter the real ruins. How huge must this ruins be?
However, he had inquired with Liu Minghe before coming and knew that they were mainly dealing with ghosts. This was Xu Wen's greatest confidence.
I dare not say anything else, but with the Buddha refining ghost flags in hand, he will destroy as many ghosts as they come!
After waiting for a moment for everyone to digest, Haihualu waved his hand and took the lead into the valley.
