a moment later
Ji Pingbo, who was in contact with other town guards, left and returned.
His face was very solemn, and this expression immediately made everyone's hearts rise.
"What's going on?" Gu Mingyue said in surprise: "Is something happened to other town guards as well?"
"That's right!" Ji Pingbo nodded and replied: "If you don't check, you won't know. If you check, you will be shocked. Today, a total of seven town guards have had trouble. If Senior Brother Wei hadn't asked me to negotiate, I'm afraid everyone would still be in the dark. It’s in the drum.”
"What? Seven branches?"
"No way?"
Everyone was in an uproar, and their expressions changed drastically.
"The news is not wrong." Ji Pingbo said solemnly: "There are as few as two or three missing in the seven town guards, and as many as seven or eight. A guard from Litian Holy Land rashly went out to search for missing disciples, and they disappeared one after another. More than a dozen people!"
"The total number of missing disciples is now up to fifty-three, including two Nascent Soul stage monks. When the top leaders of the two major holy places learned about this, they were very angry. They just ordered the guards of all major towns to implement martial law and implement the most stringent blockade orders."
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn.
Everyone subconsciously took out their identity jade tags to check, and sure enough they found that the sect's latest emergency mission message had appeared on it, requiring the guards of the major towns not to leave their posts without authorization, not to go out to search at will, and to carefully seal off their respective guarding areas.
Obviously, this is the highest alert state.
The entire mining area may be on tenterhooks because of this incident.
Everyone even noticed a few terrifying auras disappearing in the blink of an eye. It was obvious that the powerful man in the divine realm who was secretly guarding the mining area had already launched a search to find out the whole story.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.
If the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up. The powerful ones in the realm of the gods have already taken action. What else do they have to worry about? The results of the investigation should be available soon.
But as time went by, everyone soon discovered something was wrong.
Because the strong men in the realm of the gods went out to search without success, everything in the entire mining area came to a halt. Everyone was waiting eagerly, and the atmosphere was extremely weird.
Although no more attacks have been suffered now, this silent atmosphere still makes people feel tight in their hearts, and they can't help but secretly become nervous.
If someone with evil intentions causes trouble at this time, there will probably be big trouble.
However, the two holy places attach great importance to the mining area. The teleportation array flashes with light one after another, and two high-level monks are constantly teleporting over. It is obvious that they have not relaxed their vigilance at all.
As for Wei Han, he finally ended the search!
There was a hint of weirdness in his eyes, and he frowned and looked somewhere deep in the sea.
Seeing this, Gu Mingyue couldn't help but recount what happened just now, and asked at the same time: "Has your search yielded any results? What should we do now?"
"Execute the order and wait and see what happens!"
Wei Han glanced around and found that the mining array was fully activated.
This proves that the top leaders of the two sects attach great importance to this matter. They must have plans on how to conduct a search, and it is not convenient for me to say anything for the time being.
However, he did find some clues during the search just now.
"Two seniors!" Wei Han looked at Yun Sanniang and Xu Qing who were standing aside, and asked through his spiritual consciousness: "Do you know a flat monster that lives in the deep sea, about a hundred feet tall? No, no, no, it's possible. It’s not a monster, maybe a fish creature.”
"this?"
The two looked at each other and couldn't help being surprised.
Wei Han, what does this mean? Could it be that he discovered something else?
"There are countless types of monsters under the deep sea. What we human monks have recorded over tens of thousands of years is only one or two out of ten." Yun Sanniang frowned and said, "The characteristics you described are too few. I won't know for a while. It’s really unexpected.”
"A hundred feet long and wide, flat like a disk, with a long tail. It is completely transparent and can change color at any time. It is difficult to scan and capture it with spiritual consciousness!" Wei Han added his judgment word by word.
Yun Sanniang and Xu Qing's expressions changed drastically after hearing this.
They all whispered in unison: "Could it be the Kongming Fish?"
"What is this?" Wei Han was surprised.
"The Kongming fish is a very rare fourth-level fish. They are not monsters because they are not very intelligent." Yun Sanniang quickly explained: "It is rumored that they were born under the trench of the abyss tens of thousands of feet. They are a kind of fish that cannot be seen or detected. They have extremely strong stealth capabilities. They can change into the surrounding colors at any time in the deep sea. They are difficult to scan with your spiritual consciousness. Even if they swim by you, you won’t be able to notice them!”
"That's right!" Xu Qing took over the conversation and said, "It's actually not very powerful. It just has outstanding stealth capabilities and can release an electric current that is difficult to detect with the naked eye. This electric current can kill prey instantly or paralyze the prey deeply. If you are in such a state, you will be swallowed up by it as food inadvertently."
"In a special zone like the deep sea, you will be unlucky if you encounter it, and it often appears in groups..."
Xu Qing hesitated to speak!
Wei Han knew what he wanted to say.
There have been so many disappearances just now. If it is really because of the Kongming fish, then there must be more than one. It is possible that something has attracted them here.
No wonder so many people just disappeared without making a big fuss!
It's no wonder that the monsters in this sea area are almost extinct. It's because they are scared.
"If it is really the Kongming Fish, we will be in trouble!" Yun Sanniang frowned: "I don't know what attracted them here. If they don't leave for a day, we won't dare to step outside the formation."
"What's the trouble?" Wei Han asked puzzledly: "Can't we just go out? We are mining inside the formation, not outside the formation. Kongmingyu is outside and other monsters dare not come over, isn't it? Saved us a lot of trouble?"
"It can't be that simple." Yun Sanniang sneered: "What if someone deliberately lured Kong Mingyu here? If we give up the inspection area outside the formation, wouldn't we be playing into the opponent's hands? Then they can arrange it however they want. No matter how we arrange it, it’s us who will suffer in the end.”
Wei Han opened his mouth and couldn't refute!
Because this possibility really cannot be ruled out.
The patrol area outside the formation can be regarded as a buffer zone. If it is controlled by others, it is really easy to cause other troubles.
Now all major holy places, demon sects, and deep-sea monster clans are staring at this place. It is rumored that all parties are eyeing the source crystal veins. No matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful.
So the best option at the moment is to kill the Skyfish?
The Kongming Fish are notoriously invisible and invisible. In the deep sea where visibility is extremely poor and spiritual consciousness is suppressed, it is not too difficult to find their traces.
"Report it first!" Yun Sanniang sighed and suggested: "No matter whether the young master's discovery is correct or not, reporting it is always correct."
"Um!"
Wei Han nodded and immediately took out the jade token for communication.
