Early next morning.
Li Baitian greeted Xia Weiguo and prepared to leave the city.
Although what I have seen and heard so far is strange, and I can feel that there are great secrets and great horrors hidden in Rising Sun City, all of this has nothing to do with the missing persons incident, at least no connection has been found yet.
He came to find out the reason for the mysterious disappearance of a large number of spies, so that he could better survive in Zhengyi Academy in the future.
If there is a problem with Rising Sun City, let it have a problem. It has nothing to do with him anyway. He will go back to the academy after finishing this job.
Jiang Chuan came over and asked, "How are you feeling today?"
Li Baitian said: "I feel refreshed and in good condition."
Jiang Chuan: "That's good."
Xia Weiguo summoned his men: "Master Ye, which direction should we leave the city from?"
"Which direction are the [Two Gods] in?"
"The Ershen Mountain? It's in the west."
Xia Weiguo was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Li Baitian to know the names of nearby mountains.
"Very well, go there first."
The group of people left the city in a mighty manner.
When passing the city gate, I met Xia Jiuquan who was guarding the city gate. I greeted him and let him go.
Xia Jiuquan still had the same kind face and pleasant smile as before, and Li Baitian also smiled, and his smile was meaningful.
After the group of people disappeared from sight, Xia Jiuquan put away his smile and turned into a frosty face. A woman walked out from behind, it was Xia Shuang.
"They're gone."
"Uncle Xia, is it a pity to send Adjutant Xia over? Adjutant Xia is quite capable."
"Shuang'er, you dictated the banquet yesterday. My uncle judged that you have been exposed by Li Baitian. He has realized that you are not the real Xia Xue, and he can even hear the great god singing. He must not stay!"
Xia Jiuquan said coldly: "Fortunately, Xue'er was honest and told me their true identities, otherwise it might have caused serious trouble. What we do must not be known to Haoqi City, let alone Zhengyi Academy." Got the handle!"
"Uncle, what should we do with that bitch Xia Xue? Although my father will put the overall situation first, he will not kill his daughter. Should we..."
Xia Shuang made a gesture of wiping her neck.
Xia Jiuquan shook his head: "It's okay, keep it for now. Her blood is of great use. Go back and see how the two brothers Xia Liu and Xia Jian are doing. If there is any abnormality in their bodies, they may need blood transfusion to cure it. Last time you just killed the people It would be too reckless to throw it out of the city."
Xia Shuang's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Uncle Xia, you are saying that the matter has been settled. My two younger brothers are now..."
"Silence, I took action myself. How could I be as indecisive as you? Yesterday I asked you to hold a banquet to cover up others' eyes, so I took the opportunity to take action. That girl's bones and eyes are really extraordinary, but it's a pity that she is only a girl."
"You go back to Xia's house and watch carefully, and don't cause too many problems."
Xia Jiuquan said lightly.
"Niece understands!"
…
the other side.
Outside Rising Sun City.
In the jungle.
Xia Weiguo led the team at the front. He had many years of experience in fighting monsters and could accurately judge the location of the monsters' entrenched areas and successfully avoid them.
The beast tide has not ended yet, and those monster beasts have not gone far. The powerful monster beasts occupy a nest to themselves, while the weak monster clans gather together in twos and threes.
"How far is Ershen Mountain from here?"
Li Baitian asked softly.
"It's that mountain. There is a mass grave there, full of rotting corpses. Monsters won't come close. We can take a nap when we get there."
Xia Weiguo pointed to the shadow of a hill in the distance. He did not refute Li Baitian's destination for this reason. The mass graves were full of rotting corpses. If you get too close, you will inhale corpse air, and there are also various poisonous insects. There are no Creatures want to be close.
"Roar!"
The fishy wind howled by, causing several people to frown.
Xia Weiguo waved his hand, and the twelve guards formed a group of three and divided into four teams to disperse and sneak into the depths of the jungle.
After a while, they returned, each holding a strange-shaped head in their hands and a monster core in their hands.
Jiang Chuan instinctively wanted to repair the wounded man's injuries. Li Baitian grabbed him and shook his head gently. These were all members of the Xia family. It was difficult to predict whether they were friends or foes, so it was better to save them first.
The group continued moving forward.
Li Baitian found that the road was stained with blood, and even the soil under his feet was dyed bright red, but he didn't see a body.
Neither monsters nor humans were seen.
Jiang Chuan was also confused: "Is it possible that Chengdu was thrown to Ershen Mountain?"
After twists and turns, they walked out of the dense forest and arrived at the foot of Ershen Mountain.
It was unnaturally smooth, and it was at the time of the beast tide. They were human monks, and the monsters had a keen sense of smell. How could they not hunt them down?
Only a few monsters that were too close were taken care of by Xia Weiguo. For the rest of the time, almost no monsters could be seen, as if the monster overlords deliberately let them go.
Li Baitian asked: "Why don't those monsters attack us?"
Xia Weiguo answered matter-of-factly: "If they didn't find us, of course they wouldn't attack."
Jiang Chuan: "With so many monsters, how could they not discover us? Do you have a magic weapon that hides your aura?"
"No, it's always been like this. As long as you're not seen by the monsters, you'll fight only if you're hit head-on. Otherwise, you'll be fine if you avoid it carefully."
"Isn't this how you deal with monsters?"
On the contrary, Xia Weiguo felt strange and scratched his head, being honest and honest.
Jiang Chuan looked a little embarrassed: "Well... I don't go out much, and I don't look for monsters that much. I usually go out of town to buy medicinal materials and occasionally treat people."
Li Baitian: "Me too."
He had just come to this world and didn't know much about monsters yet. He thought monsters could track their prey by scent. It seemed like he was overthinking it.
He had some preconceptions about this world of cultivating immortals, so he took it for granted.
Li Baitian asked: "I saw that there was not a single corpse along the way. Are these two sacred mountains a centralized place to dispose of corpses?"
Xia Weiguo: "Yes, every few days the Xia family will send people out to clean the battlefield and pull the corpses to the mass graves on the mountain. There are too many corpses in the beast tide. If they are pulled into the city in one go, it will be difficult to deal with the large number of corpses in a short time. Accumulation will cause plague and breed toxins.”
Li Baitian was puzzled: "Are cultivators still afraid of this? Wouldn't it be nice to just put it in a storage space?"
Xia Weiguo: "The monks are also afraid. These things are pervasive. If the plague is spread into the air, it will pollute the spiritual energy. Cultivate these filth into the body, which will cause a lot of harm but no benefit. There are no high-level weapon refiners in Rising Sun City. The number of storage spaces for magic weapons Very limited.”
Li Baitian nodded slightly. It seemed that Rising Sun City was very poor. All resources were incomparable with Haoqi City, let alone the weapon refining skills.
Weapon refining masters are a hot commodity, and the entire Tianlong Continent is in short supply of weapon refining skills, especially top-notch weapon refining skills of his level. Looking at the entire continent, there is probably no second one.
"I won't treat my own people badly. I will give each of you a storage bag. It is not as good as a space ring, but it can still store some items. It is enough for daily needs."
Li Baitian casually took out a handful of storage bags and distributed them one by one, which made Xia Weiguo and the other monks stare.
This was the first time they had seen someone so generous, giving away so many storage bags at once. This thing was a rare item with a price but no market in the City of the Rising Sun.
Are all the monks in Haoqi City so rich?
"Follow me up the mountain, and you will protect me. I will give each of you a top-grade yellow magic weapon later. I am a poor man and only have the magic weapon left."
