Matsuoka's face was as dark as water, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.
This morning, Kurosaki, Oda, Morinari and Heigen still didn't show up, and even Ji Akira and Haru Sakura were missing!
I asked my subordinates, but no one knew where the two realm-changing monks had gone.
Matsuoka speculated that the two of them went out on their own without saying hello, and they must be competing for Zhao Lin's head. He didn't care at first, but the sound of shaking gave him a bad feeling.
Chenghua Zong dares to dismantle the mechanism, which shows that he has absolute confidence in his strength. What does this mean?
The four Qi Refining Realm monks died, but with the strength of Ji Zhang and Chun Ying, could there have been an accident?
"Mr. Matsuoka, the sound seems to be coming from the direction of Jinniutan. Should we go over and take a look?"
A monk asked nervously.
If the Pearl Beach is lost, the sea mission will be a failure. Even if you collect more spirit beads, you will not get any good deeds, and you will be severely punished.
"Let's go!"
Matsuoka said calmly, without showing his doubts.
boom……
Everyone left Yuelutan, and halfway through, there was another shock.
Now it was certain that the sound came from Jinniutan.
Matsuoka did not take people there directly, but to the nearby Qingyangtan.
"You stay here while I go to investigate first."
Matsuoka confessed a few words, and Yu Shui left Qingyangtan.
…
The four formation mages took less than half an hour to dismantle the three mechanisms.
Just when they were looking for the next mechanism, Zhao Lin waved his hand to stop them.
"Pause the demolition and set up two mechanisms first!"
Seeing the doubts on everyone's faces, Zhao Lin explained, "If there is such a big commotion, the people from the Di An Sect will definitely not be able to sit still and come to destroy it."
"But this is the territory of the Di An Sect, and we will suffer a loss if we fight."
"Only by setting up traps can we change from passive to active. Even if the battle situation is unfavorable, we will have a place to retreat."
Sun Jue and others thought it was reasonable. When they saw a ridge nearby, which was suitable for setting up mechanisms, they walked over and began to measure the location.
In order to prevent people from the Di An Sect from spying on the location of the agency, Zhao Lin asked Du Zhen and Chang Jianqiu to lead the monks to expand the defense range.
The distance between the monks was increased to forty feet. Once any abnormality was discovered, they would use the seal to notify each other.
"The terrain of Jinniu Beach is complex, and the spiritual consciousness cannot be seen at a glance. Please be careful." Zhao Lin warned.
Chang Jianqiu took the order and led four monks to the north of Hailing. They arranged themselves in a fan-shaped formation, with himself in the middle and the four monks on the left and right.
Yuan Peng was responsible for guarding the west side. He stood on the hillside of Hailing and looked around cautiously.
In front of him lay a stretch of rolling hills, dotted with rocks and seaweed.
"There is a realm-changing monk in the Diyin Sect, so I have to be careful."
Yuan Peng thought secretly, he was the last monk to join the team, and he didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong.
"I hope the mission ends successfully and I can get more good deeds."
After an unknown amount of time, Yuan Peng suddenly discovered a looming red light under a hill not far away.
"what?"
Yuan Peng was attracted by the red light. He immediately poured spiritual power into his eyes and looked towards the red light.
I vaguely saw a "stone" the size of a water tank.
The stone is completely black, with a conspicuous red streak on the top.
"Red crown snail!"
Yuan Peng's breath was suffocated. Although he was far away and couldn't see clearly, he was 80% sure that his judgment was correct.
The red crown snail is a very rare shellfish, and the spiritual beads it produces are called red spiritual beads. They are rare spiritual beads that contain the spiritual power of fire.
Things are rare and expensive. The price of a red spirit bead is much higher than that of an ordinary spirit bead. A fourth-grade red spirit bead is more valuable than an ordinary third-grade spirit bead.
The faint red light should be that the red crown snail is swallowing the spiritual pearl.
Judging from the size of this snail, it contains at least a third-grade spiritual pearl.
Yuan Peng subconsciously took a few steps forward, then immediately thought that he was responsible for surveillance, and stopped again.
After thinking for a while, I thought: "It should be okay if we are so close. Even if we are unlucky and encounter a Realm Changing Monk, we won't be unable to take a few moves."
"After all, the Realm-Changing Monk is not a true Foundation-Building Monk. It's not too late to notify others right away."
Thinking of this, Yuan Peng formed a falling fan seal and sent a message that everything was safe and sound.
Two breaths later, the monk next to him sent back a falling fan seal.
Yuan Peng was determined in his mind, walked quickly down the hillside, and swam towards the red crown snail.
Approach the hill, slow down, and grab a handful of sponge sand from the lock bag.
The red crown snail can not only cast water spells, but its breath also contains a trace of fire evil energy, which is extremely harmful to practice.
If you are hit by breath, even if you get the Red Spirit Pearl, the gain will outweigh the loss.
Yuan Peng restrained his water-bending skills to minimize the mana fluctuations. When he was about to hit the sponge sand, he suddenly found that there was only one red spirit bead in the red crown snail, and it was empty inside!
"Empty shell!"
The hair on Yuan Peng's body suddenly stood up, and he immediately realized that he had fallen into a trap.
Without any hesitation, Yu Shui retreated quickly.
As long as you step back ten feet, you can use the seal to contact the nearby monks.
Uh-huh!
A brilliant white light flashed from Yuan Peng's waist and abdomen.
Yuan Peng felt a chill on his body and didn't know what happened. He ran for a few feet when his body suddenly broke into two pieces.
Before dying, Yuan Peng raised his eyelids with difficulty and saw a blurry figure. The last thought in his heart was: "What a fast knife!"
An old man in gray robe walked over. Without even looking at the body, he grabbed the red crown snail on the ground and disappeared in a flash...
Zhao Lin patrolled the sea ridge and found no abnormalities for the time being, but he still did not dare to let down his guard.
With his current strength, he is confident that he has the ability to deal with ninth-level or peak-level Qi Refining monks, but it is hard to say when he encounters realm-changing monks.
Zhao Lin didn't know what this person's character was, but since he had dismantled three mechanisms, the other party would definitely not sit idly by.
Maybe this person is hiding somewhere now, spying on him secretly.
"How's it going? Is everything normal?"
When passing the sea ridge in the north, Zhao Lin saw Chang Jianqiu, stopped and asked.
"I just contacted you thirty breaths ago, and everyone is here!"
Chang Jianqiu smiled and formed a magic seal on his hand.
After a while, several waves of seals came back.
Chang Jianqiu frowned, "Why didn't Yuan Peng respond?"
Zhao Lin quickly asked: "Where is Yuan Peng?"
Chang Jianqiu said in a deep voice: "It's on the west hillside. I'll go over and have a look."
Zhao Lin stretched out his hand to stop him, "Don't move here, I'll go!"
Chang Jianqiu nodded and formed a seal on his hand to remind others to be careful.
Zhao Lin quickly rushed to the west hillside. Before anyone arrived, he smelled the smell of blood.
He released ultrasound waves and carefully followed the scent to a hill, where he saw Yuan Peng's body split into two halves.
"Sir, are you talking about Matsuoka? He is good at one-sword style..."
Chunying's last words before her death rang in Zhao Lin's mind. (End of chapter)
