Compared to the corrosive swamp, this place is a mountain forest, surrounded by blood mines, and underneath the veins is a misty, bottomless mine.
"Zongze, please lead me. Let's go explore the situation here first. Lin Xi, take someone to monitor the rest area. Brother Jiang, lead a group of people to monitor the surroundings. If anything unexpected happens, please contact us at any time. "
Ye Bai gave them two sub-rings to facilitate contact. Then he took Zongze to hide his own aura, and then deployed a first-order invisibility array. This simple array can also move with the body.
In addition to shielding their own aura, basically no one will find them unless someone specially scans them with their spiritual consciousness.
Deep in the blood mine, there was still the sound of mining. The two of them waited quietly to land on the ground, with Zongze leading the way.
After twists and turns, Zongze stopped at the entrance of a three-way cave. Seeing that he didn't move forward, Ye Bai didn't ask any questions, and followed him and waited.
After more than ten minutes, a real demon came out of the hole on the left and slowly walked towards the hole on the far right.
Looking around casually, Ye Bai found that Zongze was holding his breath unconsciously. He didn't let out a long sigh of relief until the real demon left him completely.
"Brother Ye, the left side is where our clan is imprisoned, the middle is the area where we mine, and the far right side is where the real demons rest. They basically patrol every hour." Zong Ze whispered.
"Go and see your mother and the others first. Let's go!" Ye Bai pointed to the passage on the left.
"Well!" Zong Ze excitedly led Ye Bai and ran over there quickly.
Ye Bai could understand the little guy's mood to some extent. After walking for a few minutes, the two walked through this dark and damp passage and arrived at a relatively spacious cave.
To be precise, this is more like a prison. The entire cell is made up of golden pillars, and unknown inscriptions are engraved on each golden pillar.
There are many monsters trapped in the prison. The monsters are sitting on the ground casually, their hair is disheveled, they look haggard, their faces are thin, and their eyes are dull.
"Mother, mother, where are you?" Zongze escaped from the range of the invisible formation and stepped out first to shout towards the prison.
When the monsters in the prison heard Zongze's voice, they felt like a stone was dropped on the dead lake.
The imprisoned demons all shouted excitedly when they saw Zongze's appearance, but they were silenced by a voice within two seconds.
"Quiet."
This voice seemed to be extremely authoritative, and the noisy voice was stopped.
A middle-aged man with disheveled hair walked out from among the monsters. Unlike other monsters who were weak, this man had strong muscles and his body still exuded a powerful aura.
"Zongze, you are back after all. Alas!"
"Uncle Yu, where is my mother?" Zongze asked anxiously.
"She...he failed because of his escape..."
Zong Yu didn't say the rest of the words, but Zong Ze knew it very well. In fact, he also knew in his heart that it would be life or death if he escaped and was caught, but he would always have a trace of luck.
After hearing the news, Zongze seemed to have no strength. He completely fell down on the bed, his eyes became dull, and he grasped the position of his heart with one hand.
An unspeakable pain stung his soul, his heart seemed to be strangled, and even his breathing was a little short.
Ye Bai hurriedly channeled some spiritual power to him to calm Zongze, who was about to collapse at any time.
Looking at Ye Bai who suddenly appeared, Zong Yu also looked at him with curiosity.
"Senior, why are you the only ones out?" Ye Bai didn't waste any words and directly explained his purpose. He also found that the golden pillars here could not be opened by brute force alone. Those inscriptions should also be the inscriptions of the real demons.
"If you want to open the prison, you must go to Huaiyin to seize the golden seal in order to unlock the ban here."
"I understand." Ye Bai nodded, and then prepared to take Zongze away from here.
"Little brother, wait. This is what Yuhua left for Zongze. She guessed that this little guy would come back, so she left it for him." Zongyu threw a piece of kraft paper to Ye Bai.
When Zongze heard that his mother had left something for him, his eyes seemed to have a little more vitality. After Ye Bai took the thing directly, he quickly took him away from the place.
When the two returned to the ground, everyone gathered around. After Ye Bai handed the brown paper to Zongze, he simply told them the situation.
"The situation is basically clear. Huaiyin is there. Let's prepare in advance. It's time to take action. Gu Shang, you will be in charge of strategic deployment."
Ye Bai then handed over the deployment task to Gu Shang, and this sentence also brought him back to his senses.
"Me? I can't do it. It's up to you to do such an important thing."
Gu Shang was so frightened that he waved his hands hurriedly. If he made a mistake in commanding, he would be in trouble.
"Stop talking nonsense. I believe in you. You should believe that you have this talent. If you can't, I won't make fun of everyone's lives. I will give you this thing. You will rely on him to command you when the time comes."
Ye Bai took out all his rings, and there were six more in total. After Gu Shang hesitated for a moment, he took off one of the rings with a slightly trembling hand.
"This battle is actually not difficult. The main task is to deal with Huai Yin. However, in order to prevent accidents, the formation still needs to be arranged in advance. Secondly, he secretly kills his right-hand man and leaves Huai Yin at the end. This can also prevent him from being killed during the fight. Harassment requires a quick solution in the end, and we don’t know if the other party has any special means to call in help.”
"In addition, I will leave four mother-in-law rings for those who want to show off. I need four people to watch from a hundred miles away from east to west, north and south. If there is any sign of the real demon, report it in time, and we will be ready to retreat at any time."
After hearing this, Ye Bai nodded and said, "I'll go to that mine first to set up a sound-absorbing array and a spirit-covering array. In this way, as long as Huaiyin is on top and doesn't use his spiritual sense to detect it, there will be no problem. Not big anymore.”
Everyone used their own methods to prevent and control the surroundings in advance, and then the group followed Ye Bai to the depths of the mine.
What they didn't know was that there was already a pair of eyes watching all this indifferently in the dark.
Ye Bai and others hid their auras, sneaked into the mine, and came to the original three-way intersection. This time they went directly to the passage on the far right.
Not long after entering, I saw a real demon beating something with a bone stick in his hand.
Ye Bai and the others did not cover their bodies, and their arrival was naturally discovered by the other party. However, just as he was about to shout, a sharp sword penetrated his head, and Bai Zhao took the lead.
The group of people simply didn't bother to pretend, rushed into the depths of the passage, and there was an indiscriminate massacre.
After clearing the battlefield, Ye Bai froze on the spot. Everything happened so smoothly that he was a little stunned. Then he seemed to think of something, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Gu Shang, is there any movement outside?"
"Not yet, but I always feel a little weird."
Gu Shang's thoughts were similar to his. Ye Bai hurriedly said to everyone: "We may have fallen into a trap. The real demon here is obviously a bait, and the number cannot be just that."
Ye Bai looked at the more than 20 real demons on the ground and knew that this was a trap set by the other party.
"Get out of there quickly, there are hundreds of troops coming from the south."
"There are also ones in the east."
There were sounds coming from the Zimu Ring one after another, and at this time Gu Shang's voice also came through.
"Ye Bai, come out quickly. Huaiyin has led people to surround the blood mine. We are being plotted."
Gu Shang looked at Huaiyin with a pale face, looking down at them from a high place.
Some people died, but not completely...
