"General Jiang Li, the mountain range ahead is Luling. Although it is thousands of miles away from Lishan Mountain, it is the last extension of the Lishan Mountain Range to the north. Further east is the Canglong Mountain Range!"
The city gate of Jinshankou Pass opened, and a cavalry team composed of more than fifty brave soldiers rushed out on horseback and rode towards the northeast, kicking up clouds of dust.
After running no more than thirty or fifty miles, in front of our sight was an endless lush mountain range extending all the way to the northeast with no end in sight.
Xu Tingpei sat on the horse, and even though the horse galloped rapidly in the mountains, it remained as steady as a rock.
He pointed ahead and said: "The Canglong Mountains extend thousands of miles to the northeast. Both ends are within the territory of Dazhou, but there are 800 miles of mountains located in Beimang. The Great Wall of Beidi passes through the mountains twice and is the most difficult to defend. of a paragraph.
"There are many mountains here and the terrain is very high. Some of the mountains are even higher than the Great Wall. Although the Beimang cavalry cannot cross the mountains on a large scale and attack the Great Wall, it is the best position for the Mang masters to fly over the city wall and break into the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Jiang Li nodded and looked in the direction pointed by Xu Tingpei. The mountains ahead stretched all the way to the northeast, like a giant dragon lying across the land of Liang, Mang and Feng. It was extremely powerful and faintly capable. I feel a supreme pressure, dormant under this mountain.
Luling is the smallest part on the edge of the mountain range, where the Lishan Mountain and Canglong Mountain Range meet.
"Qintian Supervisor Li Beitang once asserted that this mountain range contains dragon energy, and if the emperor obtains it, he can continue the dynasty's luck for nine hundred years!"
Xu Tingpei looked at the mountains from a distance, his eyes bright: "If the imperial court can sweep through Mangting in this northern expedition, regain the land of Mangzhou, and then slowly surrender Daluo, so that all the three states will belong to the Zhou Dynasty, Qin Tianjian will We can join forces with the Confucian Temple to create a donation array to connect this dragon energy with the great Zhou energy and create a great cause of the empire for three thousand years!"
"Three Thousand Years of Imperial Dynasty!"
Jiang Li's eyes flashed, but he never expected that Qintian Prison and the Confucian Temple had such a layout and calculation.
A long-lasting imperial dynasty may be a blessing for monarchs, noble families, and aristocratic families, but it may not be a good thing for the people of Li.
The concentration of imperial power and long-term control of the world by aristocratic families will inevitably lead to excessive concentration of all resources, solidification of classes, and the people of the world will never be able to get ahead.
That world is the real sea of suffering!
"General Xu, let's go into the mountain!"
Jiang Li relaxed the reins, sat down on his horse and accelerated towards the mountain. Xu Tingpei and others quickly followed. The group arrived at the foot of Luling in the time it took half a stick of incense.
The mountains are rugged and densely forested, and no matter how well-trained a war horse is, they cannot climb over them as if they were on flat ground.
Everyone dismounted, leaving two sergeants to guard the horses. The others all walked and jumped towards the depths of Luling.
The sergeants who came with Xu Tingpei this time were all his private army. They were well-equipped and had extraordinary martial arts skills. They were all martial artists at the Tai Chi level, and their running speed was much faster than ordinary soldiers.
Everyone followed the signs left by previous exploration teams in the mountains, traveling under starry night. The straight-line distance was two hundred miles, but the actual distance was several times that.
After running non-stop for a day and a night, we finally arrived at the central area of Luling at noon on the second day.
"General, the marks of the previous exploration teams all end here. There are no other marks within a three-mile radius!"
In an open space in Luling, eight sergeants returned from the forest, panting, and respectfully reported back to Xu Tingpei.
"Rest here for two hours. If we go further, we should be close to the place where the first few teams disappeared!" Xu Tingpei said.
"Follow the order!"
The sergeants bowed to accept the order, walked into the forest one after another, took out the treasure medicine they carried with them and swallowed it. They rested with their backs against the big trees, but their hands never left their swords. If there was any situation, they would immediately jump up and fight back.
Xu Tingpei also rested for a while. He took out the map of Luling and looked at it again and again. He suddenly stood up and flew to the top of the tree. He stood on a branch as thick as a thumb and looked at the surrounding terrain.
The mountains ahead suddenly rose up, completely blocking most of the sight.
Xu Tingpei moved his feet vigorously and jumped tens of meters upward, but he still could not see the scene behind the mountains in front of him.
"General Xu, lend me the map!"
Jiang Li appeared beside Xu Tingpei at some unknown time and spoke softly.
"General Jiang Li has such a light body!"
Xu Tingpei's eyes flashed, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He has been in the Ten Thousand Master Realm for more than ten years. Although the realm has been stuck in the middle of the Seventh Realm and it is difficult to advance, he has superb martial arts attainments and his six senses are alert.
But until Jiang Li made a sound, he didn't notice any sound or air movement around him.
At Jiang Li's age, being able to advance to the sixth level of Xiantian in the martial arts realm is already a natural talent.
Under normal circumstances, a martial artist is under twenty, and his blood and body have not yet reached their peak, so there is almost no possibility of advancing to the seventh level of martial arts, the Ten Thousand Fu Realm.
But Jiang Li had just appeared, and there was no trace of Qi flowing around his body, so he obviously had not used his Qi energy.
A martial artist in the Wanfu realm who is only sixteen years old?
Xu Tingpei was extremely shocked.
As a Wanfu realm warrior, he is well aware of the difficulties and difficulties of improving the realm of martial arts.
Even Jiang Shirong, who is currently the number one martial artist in the Great Zhou Dynasty, was only a martial artist in the early stage of the Xiantian realm at Jiang Li's age.
Doesn't this mean that Jiang Li's potential is even more terrifying and amazing than that of Wu Hou.
"It is said that the relationship between father and son is incompatible. Jiang Li has such potential and strength now. What will happen between father and son in a few years? Marquis Wu will not really be affected by Jiang Li. Suppress it!”
Xu Tingpei secretly thought that when he thought of a certain scene, even he felt frightened.
If one day, someone really can suppress Wu Hou!
Will such a day really happen?
Xu Tingpei thought about it and handed the map in his hand to Jiang Li.
"General Xu, wait a moment!"
Jiang Li took the map and memorized all the details in the map with a glance.
Infuriating energy suddenly surrounded his body, and a pair of crane wings formed behind him.
Jiang Li tapped the branch lightly with his toes, jumped up into the air, stretched out the crane wings behind his back, and flew hundreds of meters into the air with his body, hovering in the air.
"This is Qi Meridian!"
Xu Tingpei's eyes lit up and he looked at the figure floating in the sky with envy in his eyes.
He was somewhat aware of the news about the complete inheritance of Qi Buddhism in this world.
Although the inherited strength of the martial arts is strong, the power of fighting and actual combat is not weaker than that of the Qi of the same realm.
However, the warrior tempers his body and uses himself as a killing weapon, but he does not have many mysterious and magical methods of Qi.
"Condensing Qi and transforming into shape, floating in the air, he actually reached the Seventh Realm at the same time with Qi Wu!"
Xu Tingpei stared at it for a long time, and then suddenly realized something.
The previous rumors about Jiang Li only said that he was capable of the sixth level of Qi Meridian.
But at this moment, it seems that Jiang Li's strength and potential are far beyond everyone's knowledge.
"General Xu, there is something fishy fifty miles ahead!"
Jiang Li hovered high in the sky and scanned the surroundings, and soon discovered something. He retracted his wings and landed next to Xu Tingpei. He pointed to the corner of the map, "This location is just a gentle mountainous area in the map mark, but I just looked at it." , but there is a mountain peak that does not exist on the map!"
"How can there be a mountain here?"
Xu Tingpei followed the direction of Jiang Li's finger, looked at the map, and shook his head violently: "In the past ten years, I have entered Luling five times. I have been to this place no less than three times. There is no way there is a mountain peak!"
"But I just looked at it from mid-air. There is indeed a high mountain there, and the trees are lush and growing vigorously. It will never appear in a short time!" Jiang Li said.
"If it is true as you said, the disappearance of the first few teams must be related to that mountain peak!"
Xu Tingpei jumped off the branch, and the soldiers who were resting in the forest immediately jumped up from the ground.
"General Jiang Li discovered a mountain that shouldn't exist dozens of miles ahead. Let's go take a look!"
Xu Tingpei pointed forward, and the fifty soldiers nodded and took steps to fly towards the mountains ahead.
Jiang Li flew at a low altitude and followed Xu Tingpei and others forward. He looked around warily and frowned slightly.
Yingshan Xiong once said that there are many unusually tall deer beasts living in Luling, but since he entered the Luling range, he has not seen a single deer beast along the way, not even larger beasts and birds. I have never seen a bird.
"Be careful, there's a lot of evil here!"
Xu Tingpei led the soldiers forward, the breeze blew against his face, and some strange smells gradually emerged in the air.
There is both evil spirit and the smell of various beasts gathered together, their fur and breath.
But within the field of vision in front of us, the mountains and forests were empty. Is there any trace of wild animals?
On the other hand, under the leaf-covered ground, traces of paw prints of various beasts can be seen from time to time.
After running for a while, everyone climbed over the steepest mountain in front of them and looked down. In the center of three intertwined mountains, a small mountain about several hundred meters high appeared in everyone's eyes.
"There is actually a mountain here!"
"That's not right. When I came here last time, this place was clearly a flat mountainous area."
Xu Tingpei and many other sergeants who had been here suddenly changed their expressions and made a sound of surprise.
"The demonic aura and beastly aura emanating around here all come from this hill!"
Jiang Li folded his wings and landed on the top of the mountain.
"Cheer up, everyone, we may be close to the truth!"
Xu Tingpei took a deep breath and shouted in a low voice. He took the first step and walked quickly towards the hill at the foot of the mountain.
More than fifty sergeants also drew their swords, prepared concealed weapons, lime and other materials, and followed Xu Tingpei.
As everyone rushed down the mountain, the smell of evil spirits and beasts gathering in the air became more intense, as if there were hundreds of beasts gathering in front of them.
"No, it's an illusion!"
Jiang Li suddenly shouted loudly. The smell of monsters and beasts surrounding him was extremely real, and definitely not an illusion. The hills and forests in his sight were empty, with lush trees, but no birds, beasts, or insects inhabiting them. The silence was terrifying.
Mountains will not appear out of thin air, nor will beasts disappear out of thin air.
The only explanation is that the mountain peak in front of everyone does not really exist.
"Illusion?"
Xu Tingpei led the crowd to run forward. When he heard Jiang Li's cry, his heart moved. He was about to raise his hand to order the soldiers to stop, but the next moment, his steps fell and his entire figure suddenly disappeared.
Fifty sergeants followed Xu Tingpei and disappeared almost at the same time.
"It's really an illusion!"
Jiang Li stopped in front of the direction where everyone disappeared, broke a branch beside himself, and stretched forward.
As soon as the front part of the branch passed the position where Xu Tingpei and others disappeared, it disappeared with a swipe. However, the second half held by Jiang Li did not disappear, as if it had been chopped into two pieces with a knife.
Jiang Li slowly pulled back, and the branches that had disappeared gradually appeared again.
After confirming that he would not be attacked immediately after entering the environment, Jiang Li's Sumeru Ring flashed in his hand. He took out the Yuan Qi Armor and the Ten Thousand Skeleton Blood Arm Armor and put them on him. He held the Demonic Sword in his hand to kill people, his eyes condensed, and he moved forward. Take a step.
As his footsteps fell, the scene in front of Jiang Li changed drastically.
The original lush hills disappeared, and what appeared in sight was a gentle forest land.
The tree that was tens of meters high seemed to have been hit hard by a huge force, and it was broken to the ground.
As far as the eye can see, not a single tree survives, all are broken!
There is even a dense mass of mammals gathered here, including tigers, leopards, lynxes, apes, deer, rabbits, squirrels, etc., numbering in the tens of thousands.
There is a strange and soul-stirring fragrance floating in the air, attracting all the beasts to gather towards the center of the forest.
All the beasts are arranged in an orderly manner, with the most ferocious beasts gathered at the front, while animals such as rabbits, rats, and birds are arranged at the outermost edge.
Jiang Li looked forward, and saw the backs of many sergeants of Zhou Dynasty in armor at the deepest point.
Xu Tingpei and fifty sergeants walked numbly among the beasts from behind, moving mechanically towards the front.
When they reached some large ferocious beasts, the sergeants stopped automatically. Only Xu Tingpei still walked forward, and finally disappeared in front of many tall beasts.
"They're all controlled!"
Jiang Li had a guess in his mind. The moment he entered this space, his soul was in a trance for a moment.
But the next moment, the golden page in the altar in his mind trembled slightly, and a ray of hot breath flowed into the body of the Demon Sword Rentu in his hand.
The mind that was about to fall into confusion suddenly clears up.
He remained calm, his eyes cleared for a moment, and he seemed to be attracted by the strange scent of saliva in the air. He also took steps towards the front with empty eyes.
Demon Sword Rentu's aura was restrained, as if Fan Tie was being dragged forward by him on the ground.
Jiang Li walked into the herd of beasts step by step, walking slowly towards the center of the forest. After passing a group of tall beasts, his vision gradually became clearer.
Xu Tingpei stood in one place with his back stiff, surrounded by some different types of beasts that exuded strong demonic aura.
There are not many in number, but they are all intelligent monsters above the divine manifestation realm.
Further forward, there are still some figures.
Jiang Li's eyes moved covertly, and when he looked around blankly, he saw a little red fox lying on the ground, looking at him with alert and doubtful eyes.
But it was the fox demon Hong Ling who left the Zhenwei Escort Team two days ago without saying goodbye.
Next to Hong Ling, there was a woman wearing a white dress sitting cross-legged.
The woman sat with her back to Jiang Li, seemingly holding an unknown species of pet in her arms.
Nine white fox tails poked out from under the woman's arms, hanging softly to the ground!
