The group of five people walked slowly, not daring to make too much noise for fear of being discovered by Zhang Pan and his group in front.
In this way, the distance between the two parties naturally becomes wider and wider.
Fortunately, there was the Purple Shadow Scout as an outpost, and Ren Yang Fen Nian was attached to him, so the few of them did not lose each other's whereabouts, and slowly chased them all the way.
………
Deep in the dense forest, a team of more than ten people moved forward quickly.
"Soejima, what is the purpose of our coming here??"
As soon as these words came out, a vague aura of gray mist flashed in the eyes of Zhang Pan, who was walking at the front, and the next moment a violent aura emanated from his body.
Uh-huh! !
The afterimage flashed by, and then a figure flew out violently, like a kite with a broken string, flying upside down for more than ten meters, and finally hit the trunk of a giant ancient tree.
Cough cough cough! !
This figure coughed violently several times, and then quickly struggled to get up from the ground. The eyes under the black cloak and hood were full of fear.
Ahead, Zhang Pan's eyes had already returned to normal. He glanced at him with cold eyes. Instead of taking action again, he spoke indifferently:
"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. I only warn you once, and there will be another time..."
As he spoke, his cold eyes glanced around again. Although he did not finish his words, everyone knew what he meant.
And what he said was not addressed to one person, but covered everyone present.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Pan didn't waste any more time, turned around and continued walking quickly towards the depths of the forest, followed closely by a group of black cloaked figures behind him.
Zhang Pan was extremely fast, and under his dark cloak and hat, his face was already filled with fanaticism, and wisps of gray mist flowed in his eyes, as madness and violence intertwined.
And if Zhou Lei were here, he would definitely recognize this expression, because he is not unfamiliar with it. It is exactly what appears on the faces of the two believers "Kazan" and "Stark" in the space of the Kingdom of God.
And in this way, the result seems to be obvious. Zhang Pan is also a fanatical believer, a fanatical believer in the Abyss Demon God.
………
Behind, among the Black Shark team, Ren Yang suddenly spoke.
"That Zhang Pan has also been promoted to the Mid-level Extraordinary. He was captured by the Purple Shadow Scout just now, and when he did it, the aura exuding from his body was very violent. It felt like..."
As he spoke, his tone suddenly paused for a while. Before he could continue speaking, Zhou Lei, who was walking in front, added:
"It feels very similar to the aura emitted by the ram-horned demons I encountered in the sea of medieval ruins!!"
"Yes, it's that aura, violent and chaotic!!" Ren Yang nodded repeatedly.
Zhou Lei in front was breathing heavily, "That is to say, what we suspected before is correct. Zhang Pan is indeed involved with the Abyss Demon Clan, and the relationship is probably not shallow. We have to be careful, the Abyss Demon Clan. This is an extremely terrifying race."
While nodding, several people moved forward again.
Half an hour later, outside a huge stone forest deep in the dense forest, Zhou Lei and five others were hiding behind an ancient tree not far from the stone forest.
Ren pointed to the stone forest ahead and said:
"This is it. After Zhang Pan entered with more than a dozen people, he never came out again."
Zhou Lei's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a moment he said:
"Let's wait until night. Then Scout Ziying and Jiang Wang can use their abilities to their full potential. If we go in now, the chance of being discovered is too high!!"
………
Soon, night fell, and in the eyes of everyone, Jiang Wang and Ziying Scout disappeared directly into the darkness.
Under the cover of night, they can almost completely disappear. Even Zhou Lei would not be able to detect the existence of the two if he did not deliberately sense them.
And he now has twenty-nine points of extraordinary characteristics condensed in his body. The actual peak of the middle realm cannot be discovered with his perception. You can imagine how strong the abilities of the two are.
But even so, the team members are still not very reassured. They have prepared advanced defense scrolls, intermediate teleportation scrolls, etc. just to prevent special situations from happening.
At the same time, Zhou Lei also warned him repeatedly in the team channel! !
"Jiang Wang, all situations are reported in the group chat in real time. If there is any danger, we will evacuate immediately. We will also provide support as soon as possible!!"
"Don't worry, boss, you've already repeated it five times!!"
Jiang Hongshao: "Listen carefully when you say it. It seems like you talk a lot, doesn't it?"
Jiang Wang: "Okay, I got it, boss, I completely understand!!"
Lei Zhou:……
Ren Yang:......
Zhao Hu:......
………
Under the night, there was darkness in the dense forest. Zhou Lei and the others were waiting anxiously. It had been more than ten minutes since Jiang Wang and Ziying scouts entered the stone forest, but they had never discovered anything unexpected.
Just when the four of them were anxious, Jiang Wang's news finally sounded in the team channel again.
"Guess what I found, a super large, blood-red mark that resembles a formation pattern. It's so big that you can't even see its entirety at a glance!"
Hearing this, Zhou Lei's eyes flashed with confusion, blood red formation mark? He was not familiar with this stuff.
In his doubts, thoughts were racing in his mind, and he was recalling relevant memories from his previous life.
But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't find any impression related to the blood-red formation mark.
He thought secretly in his mind: "It seems that apart from the appearance of the three-color sky-devouring python spirit in the previous life, there were no other major events in this great land reclamation war. Could it be that it was covered up by the major forces? Impossible, there are so many. How to cover up the land reclamation team??”
In doubt, Ren Yang sent a screenshot, and when everyone clicked it, it turned out to be the screenshot of the blood-red formation pattern he mentioned, or rather a screenshot of a corner of the formation pattern.
As Ren Yang said before, the blood-red array pattern was a bit scary. From his current position, it was impossible to take a complete picture of it.
After carefully looking at the picture several times, Zhou Lei searched his mind again. After confirming that he had no impression of it, he made a decision.
Dudu! !
Somewhere in the southeastern mainland, at the headquarters of the 12th Division of the Naval Group, Zhou Fengyao had just finished a meeting and was about to leave the command room and return to his residence, when suddenly a notification tone sounded in the private chat box.
Glancing over it, she felt confused, but without much hesitation, she quickly opened the private chat section.
"Here you are, Zhou Shen, what's going on? You're not here to show off to me, are you?"
There was a hint of teasing in her voice, hinting at Zhou Lei's confrontation with the Army Group half a month ago.
However, Zhou Lei was not in the mood to joke with her at the moment. With a beep, he sent a screenshot directly to Zhou Fengyao.
It was none other than the one Jiang Wang had intercepted. At the same time, he continued again:
"Please help me find out what this picture represents, um... it's very important!!"
Seeing Zhou Lei's tone, Zhou Fengyao's smile dropped. Knowing that the truth might involve a lot, she quickly replied with two words.
"Hold on!!"
Then he stood up quickly and said to the middle-aged man who had not left the command room:
"Second uncle, I want to check something, the highest level in the division!!"
Hearing this, the man didn't speak. He seemed to be doing something when he opened the personal chat panel. After a few breaths, the man turned his head.
"Okay, the authority has been given to you, only half an hour..."
Before the man could finish speaking, Zhou Fengyao hurriedly ran out. Seeing this, the middle-aged man added one last sentence.
"You are not allowed to call me that in the army from now on, how many times have I told you!!"
Of course, Zhou Fengyao had already disappeared, so he naturally didn't hear these words.
………
In the dense forest outside the stone forest, Zhou Lei waited quietly. Although he did not show it, the eagerness in his heart could not be concealed. He always felt that this thing was by no means that simple.
What the Abyss Demon Clan is planning may be far beyond ordinary people’s imagination! ! !
Dudu!
So when the private chat prompt rang in his ears, he almost couldn't wait to click on it.
"I found some similar content, but I can't confirm it. Do you have a complete screenshot?"
"Wait a minute!" Zhou Lei said, and then quickly opened the team channel, "Jiang Wang, can you take a screenshot of the whole picture from high altitude?"
"Pay attention to your own safety. If there is a risk of exposure, don't force it, safety first!!"
Jiang Wang's reply was quick and he seemed confident.
"This is simple. With the blessing of Night Demon Leather Armor, my shadow attack cannot be detected by ordinary mid-level creatures!!"
After saying that, the reminder from Ren Yang and the others sounded again in the team channel, but Jiang Wang did not reply and seemed to have already started taking action.
A few minutes later, when he answered again, he had already sent a screenshot to the group chat again.
This is a top view. In the screenshot, except for a circular blood-red formation mark that almost occupies the entire picture, everything else is pitch black.
Seeing this, Zhou Lei quickly sent this screenshot to Zhou Fengyao and asked her to continue to help check.
At the same time, Zhou Lei also spoke again in the team channel.
"Jiang Wang, come back. Before we know the specific function of this formation pattern, let's wait and see how it changes!!"
"receive!"
………
After about a few minutes, a reply came from Zhou Fengyao.
"No, at least there is no introduction to this formation pattern in our division database. Well... I will apply to the military headquarters to see if it is available there. I will get back to you tomorrow!!"
"Thank you!!" Zhou Lei was a little disappointed, but he was still very grateful to Zhou Fengyao. After all, applying to the superior military department should be quite troublesome.
………
Before he could figure out the origin and function of the bloody formation, as well as Zhang Pan's specific purpose, Zhou Lei meant that it was strictly forbidden to alert others, so the five of them could only wait quietly in the dense forest.
Of course, this process is naturally very boring, but there is nothing we can do about it.
Originally, if the oasis island secret realm did not accelerate, they could wait comfortably in the secret realm, but the key is that the secret realm acceleration will not end for half a month, so don't even think about entering the secret realm! !
In this way, five hard-working guys stayed up all night on a tree branch.
Of course, please don’t get me wrong, these five people include Purple Shadow Scout. As for a certain arrogant royal sister, she got into the Lucas Secret Realm early and is known as “Beauty Sleep”! !
In this regard, no one of the four grown men dared to refute. Even Jiang Wang only dared to complain slightly after he entered the Lucas Secret Realm.
The next day, afternoon! !
The private chat from Zhou Fengyao sounded again, and just when Zhou Lei clicked on it with great expectation, thinking that the message must be news about the various introductions of the blood formation pattern, but the facts told him that the origin of the blood formation pattern seemed to be Far beyond imagination, even the database of the Fourth Army, one of the major military headquarters under the Kaihai Group Army, does not include its relevant information.
"Where did you get this picture? Even the military headquarters couldn't find anything related to it. As for the group army headquarters, it's not impossible to apply, but it will be more troublesome. It will take at least five days to receive a reply. , let me try it for you."
Seeing this reply, Zhou Lei felt extremely overwhelmed. If even Zhou Fengyao, who had been promoted to colonel, couldn't find any information, then he really didn't know who else could help.
With that said, he first thanked Fan Zhou Fengyao seriously, and after finishing the communication with him, he glanced at the ginger red peony root beside him.
"Ask Huang Shishi if it can find out the information about this bloody formation!!"
Jiang Hongshao nodded, and then directly opened the private chat panel.
The result came back a few minutes later. No, there was no relevant information about the bloody formation in the database of Zhenhai Ninth Division.
This result can be said to be expected, but even if I was mentally prepared, the disappointment in my heart is still unavoidable.
This means that it is basically impossible for him to figure out the specific effect of this huge formation deep in the stone forest.
As for asking in the world chat channel, don't be kidding, he doesn't know if anyone can give the answer, but what he knows is that the people of Haiyun Island, Zhang Pan, are likely to be the first to be alerted.
Therefore, now there is only one remaining question.
Should they continue to stay here, waiting for the subsequent changes in the depths of the stone forest, or should they leave and go to the major battlefields to continue to brush their extraordinary points, no longer care about Zhang Pan and his party, and let them carry out this Unknown evil things.
Zhou Lei was a little hesitant about these two choices!
Reason told him that if he intervened forcefully without understanding the effects of the blood formation created by the other party, the final price his team would have to pay might be unbearable.
But his instinct told him that the plan of Zhang Pan and his group was definitely not a good thing, and it was probably aimed at the entire Blue Star human race. If ignored, it might cause great harm to the entire human race.
Under this situation, Zhou Lei was caught in a dilemma for a while.
At a certain moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind. The next moment, Zhou Lei tentatively opened the personal chat panel again and found a certain friend on the panel.
This time it was naturally no longer Zhou Fengyao, but the first friend added during the novice welfare period besides his brother.
Sisterhood, Peony Master Xie Xuan!
"Are you there?"
"Here you are, what's going on, Mr. Zhoushen!!"
Unexpectedly, Xie Xuan's reply was shockingly fast this time. He had just sent the message and he replied with a hint of playfulness in his tone.
"Come on, what's so godless is out of the question!!" After saying that, he changed his tone and got to the point directly. "Please help me see if there is any introduction to this formation pattern in your internal materials?"
After saying that, he sent the screenshot of the bloody formation and waited again.
"okay, wait a minute!"
Zhou Lei was expressionless after hearing the other party's reply. In fact, he didn't have high hopes for it. It was just a flash of inspiration in his heart, and he just wanted to give it a try.
After all, the Sisterhood has obtained a nearly complete set of inheritance from a recent ancient force, which may contain records of certain ancient formations, research notes, etc.
With this in mind, he asked this question.
………
A few minutes later, Zhou Lei opened the private chat panel again and his eyes widened. He was stunned for a moment, and then deep surprise flashed deep in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, this was just a tentative question, but it actually gave him an unexpected surprise.
Above the private chat screen in front of him was a screenshot of a yellow paper page, and the content on the page was a detailed introduction to the bloody formation pattern.
"Name: Demonic Blood Embryonic Formation"
"Introduction: The evil formation used to condense the demon god embryo can condense into a demon god embryo as long as it can swallow enough flesh and blood. The embryo has heaven-defying effects and has an indescribable attraction to pseudo-god-level creatures."
"Characteristics of the formation: Once activated, you cannot step into it, otherwise you will become a part of the endless flesh and blood. If you want to stop or destroy the formation, you can only attack the formation in the middle of the formation from the outside with a strong enough attack method. Node can be destroyed in one fell swoop!!”
"Attachment: The node in the center of the formation must be attacked, and the intensity of the attack must be sufficient. Other attacks will only become part of the energy of the formation."
………
After reading all the words on this picture, understanding flashed in Zhou Lei's eyes, and at the same time, the entangled emotions in his heart dissipated. With this news, this multiple-choice question will be very simple!
Noticing the change in expression on his face, the four people around him glanced at him.
"What do you mean, boss, there is good news??"
Zhou Lei nodded, and then directly sent the picture sent by Xie Xuan to the team channel.
While the four people were carefully inspecting it, he also took this opportunity to solemnly thank Xie Xuan.
To this, Xie Xuan’s reply was simple.
"Small question, the Hundred Flowers Heritage we got contains an introduction to various formation patterns, but have you encountered the formation pattern on the picture now? Be careful. According to the introduction in the notes, this kind of formation pattern is extremely dangerous. Generally, Only the Demon God of the Abyss can arrange it!!”
"Although the notes don't say that the Abyss Demon God is an existence of the same level, according to my intuition, it is definitely not an existence that our human race can afford to offend now!!"
………
After communicating together, the two ended the private chat, and Zhou Lei's eyes were extremely shining at this moment. He and the four people beside him looked at each other, and then the five people nodded in unison! !
