It was not until this abnormal situation occurred three times that their faces became ugly and they hurriedly stopped Cui Kai and the two of them and were not allowed to move forward.
The third incident site still only had the bloodstains of the monster, which meant that nothing bad happened to the missing two people here, but this was the biggest doubt.
Another thing worth noting is that there are many mature flame grasses along this route, and the signs of being picked are also very obvious.
"Those are just level four monsters, they can't have such high intelligence!" Bo Hai couldn't help but said to himself.
Zhou Yang didn't think so. He had experienced the tragic human-monster battle in Tianlei Field.
The siege of the beasts in the Tianlei Field was obviously premeditated, and the entire siege process was so compact that it could even be called a tactic. If he hadn't discovered that humans were involved in the siege, he would have thought that it was a cultivator who secretly It was arranged by the organization, so he didn't dare to underestimate the monsters in the secret realm.
Of course, not all monsters in the secret realm are intelligent, but even a small part of them will cause a lot of headaches.
Zhou Yang did not express his opinion on the current situation, but simply told what happened to him in Tianlei Field. Bohai was dumbfounded and horrified at the same time.
"You mean that the monsters here have a leader, and he is a leader with extremely high intelligence. It is he who created the tactics to lure the enemy deeper?" Bo Hai's expression changed.
"Did you find any traces of other cultivators before entering this red forest?" Zhou Yang asked.
"should not."
"Is there really any?"
"No. At that time, we also went dozens of miles deep and found no trace of the cultivators entering."
"What was the main reason for the previous siege?" Zhou Yang asked again.
"There are not many flaming beasts on the edge of this red forest. As we go deeper, the number becomes more and more. It is also our fault that we are eager to advance and attract a large number of monster beasts." Bo Hai said with lingering fear.
"When you first arrived here, the monster beasts in the depths should not have been detected yet. Although there was a war later, those beasts should not be the flame beasts in the depths. But the noise of the war was too great, which alerted the people deep in the secret place. The monster, or the monster that escaped, brought the news inside.
The strategy of luring the enemy deep inside is not too clever. If there is no human control, it is likely to be set up by the leader of the flame beast in the depths. However, this also proves that the intelligence of this beast is already very high. " Zhou Yang analyzed.
"So, there is a big net waiting for us ahead?"
"It's very possible, and the number of monsters gathered this time is definitely not a small number!" Zhou Yang nodded.
"This..." Bo Hai took a breath of air.
If dozens of cultivators plunged headlong into the pockets covered by monsters, the consequences would be disastrous.
"After you entered the secret realm, what level did you encounter the strongest monster?" Zhou Yang asked again.
"Basic level five."
"This is too unusual. Although the fifth-level elementary monster beast has some intelligence, I have never seen one that can form an army. Could it be that this secret realm helps to cultivate the monster's intelligence?
In other words, after the monster reaches the fifth primary level, its cultivation level no longer increases, but its spiritual intelligence continues to evolve! "Zhou Yang's divergent thinking was demonstrated again.
"I also have doubts in this regard, but I just didn't think deeply about it. After hearing what Brother Zhou said today, I really feel like this." Bo Hai seemed to be enlightened.
"By the way, Brother Bo, as far as you know, are there any aborigines in this secret realm?" Zhou Yang suddenly changed the topic because he thought of a question.
"I've never heard of it. But I have killed a man wearing animal skin before. The man was not very strong and only had the peak cultivation level of Lingtai. I thought it was the man who came in from the third entrance. After careful inspection, I found that I didn’t find anything to prove my identity, and there was no storage bag. After that, several level five monsters attacked, so I just ran for my life and didn’t pursue the matter.”
"Wearing animal skin clothes and no storage bag, what about magic weapons or weapons?"
"It should have been a knife. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to put it away."
"Haha, Brother Bo, don't mind if I digress."
"Brother Zhou, it's okay to say it." Bo Hai was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand.
"Among the cultivators in Suiling City in the secret realm, the one with the highest status isn't Brother Bo!" "No." Bo Hai shook his head and didn't care.
"Are they the Tu family?" Zhou Yang asked again.
"That's right. Tu Lian from Tu Family Guard City, he is the team leader of Suiling City and is not here now."
"Oh. Then how much do you think he knows about the secret realm?"
"There should be more than me. Does this have anything to do with the current situation?" Bo Hai was confused by Zhou Yang's unbridled thinking.
"Last question, are there many sects that raise spiritual beasts in Suiling City?"
"Not too many, there are two or three."
"I think there are two situations that can explain the matter in front of me. If you want to elaborate, it can be said that there are three situations." Zhou Yang thought for a while and finally said it.
"Wish to hear its good fortune."
"The first is the conclusion that we have just concluded that there are extremely intelligent fifth-level elementary monsters planning this matter. The second is that someone is driving these monsters. This can be divided into two aspects. First, It may be done by us cultivators who have entered the secret realm, and secondly, it may be done by the indigenous people in the secret realm."
Zhou Yang originally came to only one conclusion, but he suddenly thought that there are sects in the world of cultivation that raise spirit beasts. Those spirit beasts are not only used as mounts, but also have many uses, such as being placed in spirit beast bags. As an auxiliary attack, it can achieve a surprise victory.
If the method is clever, there may be cultivators who can drive a large number of spiritual beasts into the secret realm.
There may also be people among the aborigines in the secret realm who know how to control beasts.
"There may be man-made reasons, but it has not been confirmed yet. Since we have not found other cultivators here, I think the first possibility is more likely. By the way, you are at the Tianlei Field, right? Have you found any other cultivators besides you?"
Bo Hai pondered for a moment and then said.
"It makes sense. But if someone really controls these monsters, it will be a big trouble." Zhou Yang also believes that the second possibility is very small, but it cannot be completely ruled out.
"Then what should I do now?"
"Let's discuss it with them." Zhou Yang didn't have a good idea.
After a stick of incense was passed, dozens of people gathered.
"Is it possible to lure the enemy deeper? Even if there are fifth-level elementary monsters, do they have such high intelligence?"
"Yes, based on these, can we conclude this matter? Captain Zhou said that going to investigate is to risk death. I don't agree with you. If we don't find out the situation, how can we make a decision!"
"Yes, I think we need to continue to explore."
After Zhou Yang and Bo Hai told everyone about this matter, it sparked a heated discussion. Some people agreed with their views, but quite a few were skeptical.
"Brother Huo, Meng Dong, what do you think?"
"I agree with the captain." Meng Dong said without hesitation.
"I have seen monsters with high intelligence and intelligence, but they are at least level five and above. They are elementary level five..." Huo Zhun was obviously a little doubtful, and said: "There is indeed something fishy about this matter, and there is indeed a problem. You should be careful. We’ll make plans after investigating.”
"Yes, we must investigate again. This time, send more people over, we must get to the bottom of it!" The descendants of Sui Ling's He family also meant the same thing.
"Brother Zhou, look..." Bo Hai looked at Zhou Yang.
"Of course I have no objection, but we have too few manpower. This..." Zhou Yang keenly sensed the danger. There was obviously a trap in front of him. No matter how many people he sent, he would be destined to die. If you don't listen to me, then who will love you? No matter who goes, my people won’t go anyway.
"Captain Zhou, what does this mean? You also know that you have a small number of people. If you have a small number of people, you must be aware! You also saw the previous battle. If I hadn't had so many people in Lingcheng, everyone in Dingbei and Baizong Mountain would , has long since become the food of the monster!
In the bloody battle, Suiling City contributed the most, and now I ask you to investigate and say that it is not appropriate to move lightly. Is there such a cheap thing? What a joke! "He Nanyi, a descendant of the He family's Weicheng City, said that his nose is not a nose and his face is not a face.
"That's right, you can't do such trivial things as investigating the situation, so you can only hide behind us and shrink your head and tail?" Tu Shengfan, a descendant of Tu Family Guard City, said something even more unpleasant.
They were originally disapproving of Zhou Yang, who was only in the Lingtai realm. They had considered helping him before, but when they heard that Dingbei would no longer send anyone, they immediately took action.
Bohai didn't say anything at this time.
Huo Zhun quit: "Humph! Didn't I, the cultivator of Dingbei, fight to the death in the great war? Although there are not many of us, did we not die in the previous great wars? What you two said is so unfair. Bar!"
Although he also advocated continuing the investigation, Zhou Yang spoke for them, but it attracted so much criticism, how could he not be angry.
"How presumptuous! How dare you, a young disciple of the Taiqing Sect, to speak rudely to us? You must be too courageous!" Tu Shengfan shouted sternly.
They are the children of the four great aristocratic families in Suiling. How can they look down on a cultivator from the city like Dingbei. These people are only obedient and subservient to their partners. Now if they dare to offend boldly, they are seeking death.
This is also the thought of most spiritual cultivators here. They fundamentally look down on cultivators outside the giant city.
"You!" Huo Zhun was extremely angry. He was about to retort, but was stopped by his junior brother.
They really can't afford to offend the four major families in Suiling City, and now is not the time to fall out. They are not only a big sect, but also have many people. If they want to move forward, they really have to rely on them.
"How can I, a cultivator of Zhou Tian Sect, be a coward! Our captain just said that it is a trap. The number of monsters is much greater than before. If we send people there again, we will die in vain! Whoever you want to go will go, anyway. We won’t go!” Cui Kai said angrily.
"Oh, this guy is too honest, what he says and what he does is so straightforward!" Zhou Yang smiled bitterly, complaining in his heart.
"What, say it again!" This sentence really angered the cultivators in Suiling City, and several people immediately pressed forward, seeing that they were going to take action.
"Stop! Captain Zhou and Fellow Daoist Cui must not be unreasonable in helping us." Bo Hai shouted in a deep voice.
"Humph!" Although those people stopped, they still looked fierce.
