Chen Hai, Qi Hanjiang and Du Linan searched from Lukai gorge to the southwest for five days before they finally found the trace of the ambush in the demon temple.
Generally speaking, the annual snowfall on the mountains with an altitude of 45 kilometers is far greater than the melting amount, so that the snowfall on the mountains with an altitude of up increases year by year, forming snow that will not melt for thousands of years, and then forming glaciers. The lower boundary of this perennial snow belt is the snow line in the ordinary sense.
Taiwei mountain range has thousands of peaks and incomparably high, but there are only 50 or 60 Xiongfeng on the snow line. On the north mountain of Wushaoling, almost no peaks lower than the snow line can be found, but snow peaks more than 10000 meters high can be found everywhere.
Up the snow line, there are glaciers and snow all year round, and the temperature is unusually cold, which fills the world with cold; At this height, what blows between heaven and earth is no longer a cold wind, but a cold evil vigorous wind that scrapes bones and flesh and can directly hurt the soul.
Five or six kilometers high, Chen Hai may still be unafraid, but at the height of Jueling, which is tens of thousands of meters, with his strong body at this time, he will feel overwhelmed if he doesn''t borrow additional defense means.
Together with Qi Hanjiang and Du Linan, he searched from Lukai gorge to the southwest. He also avoided those snow mountains that were often tens of thousands of meters. Instead, he looked for the hiding place where the demon Temple ambush might be from the rugged canyon. Finally, in five days, he found clues of the existence of the demon Temple ambush in a canyon.
The canyon is located between three ten thousand meter snow peaks. The yellowish brown rock wall goes down thousands of feet like a knife and axe. The bottom of the valley is covered by thick fog, but there is only one entrance and exit of the canyon, which is also sealed by snow and glaciers. There is no trace of a large group of people and animals.
If Du Li hadn''t been careful about the South Pole and saw that the rock wall left a few inconspicuous scratches, Chen Hai and they would have passed the canyon directly.
There are many powerful monsters inhabiting the barren mountains and precipices to the south of Wushaoling mountain. It''s not strange to leave scratches scratched by wing claws on the hard rock cliffs like gold and iron.
But these scratches were not directly caught by the wing claws, but more like several extremely fierce demon birds. The demon yuan condensed the evil awn that destroyed gold and iron between the wing claws, and wiped some traces from the front of the stone wall.
Those monsters, demons and birds with advanced cultivation will not fight hard with their flesh and blood to fight the sharp and mysterious soldiers of Terran martial cultivation. Like the Terran martial arts cultivation, when the demon birds and monsters fight with strong enemies, they will destroy the demon yuan and condense the evil awn between the wings and claws. Both attack and defense have the power of destroying gold and breaking iron.
The problem lies in these scratches.
If a powerful demon bird or monster passes through the canyon and suddenly condenses the demon yuan in the wing claws, it must encounter a strong enemy, and there will be no trace of this on the rock wall.
These inadvertent scratches are more like several powerful monsters, demons and birds fighting in the mid air of the canyon. They are also careful to avoid leaving any clues. They are only left in a moment of carelessness.
Chen Hai, Du Linan and Qi Hanjiang dug the snow outside the gorge. Sure enough, the ice covered with snow still left traces of trampled by monsters.
Chen Hailiu, Du Linan and Qi Hanjiang met him outside. He first drilled into the snow at the mouth of the gorge and moved forward a little. When he passed through the thick fog accumulated in the deep canyon, he hid in a stone crack in the rock wall and slid down. When the thick fog no longer covered his vision, he was only three or four hundred meters away from the bottom of the valley. The situation at the bottom of the valley really frightened him.
The clan of Yanzhou people is prosperous, and the living space for monsters is very limited. Chen Hai has not seen many monsters since he entered Yanzhou for cultivation, but he has seen only a few monsters with successful cultivation. At this time, at the bottom of the valley in front of him, it can be said to be a monster Museum.
Although the appearance of more than 300 ferocious monsters is similar to that of common beasts and birds of prey such as tigers, leopards, falcons and wolves, they are much larger and contain powerful power.
Different from ordinary beasts and birds of prey, Chen Haineng can see that these monsters have strong intelligence.
Even if no monster has been cultivated into a physical environment and can speak, it can be seen that these monsters can communicate in a special way, or with eyes, or with roaring and roaring. Even there are monsters that directly move on the stone with claws and palms and communicate with words.
Among these monsters, the most powerful one is the black Jiao under Yue Yinan, a green lynx and a black scale cunning.
The green haired lynx looks like a grey striped leopard, but the demon body is six or seven meters high, revealing a stronger King''s breath than the black Jiao. It is the leader of more than 300 demon beasts hidden at the bottom of the valley.
At this time, it was roaring and communicating with Yue Yiran with knowledge, as if the demon pupil hidden in the blue thunder light showed a thoughtful look.
The black scale cunning, like the black Jiao, did not grow up, but even so, its body shape was bigger than most monsters, and its ferocious head had a slightly towering bulge on its forehead.
It is said that the mount of the God Marquis of Wuwei is also a cunning beast with successful cultivation, and the green cunning horse and black cunning horse cultivated in Hexi are good breeds left after the cunning beast crossed with the good horse in Hexi. But now it is the first time Chen Hai has really seen this powerful beast inhabiting this land since ancient times.
Next to the vast majority of monsters, there is a demon Temple disciple. Only the strongest green lynx and black scale cunning beast have no orcs to follow.
Chen Hai thought that Du Linan said that there were two strong men in the demon temple with unpredictable accomplishments, and they were lurking in Lucheng at this time. Measured by these two powerful monsters, he speculated that the strength of the two strong men lurking in Lucheng at this time should not be under Yue Yiran.
After the cruel war 20 years ago, too many strong people fell from the demon temple. Yue Yiran, as a newly rising young disciple of the demon temple, has been ranked among the top ten masters of the demon temple in terms of strength, but it also means that at least three of the top ten masters of the demon temple have arrived at Lucheng this time. With more than 300 elite disciples above the spirit realm and more than 300 demon beasts, his strength can be said to be extremely strong.
Don''t want to expose his whereabouts, Chen Hai can''t continue to touch the bottom of the valley. After observing for a while, he retreated quietly.
At this time, Chen Hai also found that the thick fog over the canyon was not formed naturally, but the demon Temple disciples set up a rune array at the bottom of the valley, which was extremely ingenious and did not reveal any trace to change the climate in a small area and form a thick rain and fog layer covering the canyon, so as to cover their breath in the canyon and not be observed by the outside world.
This canyon is not far from Lukai gorge. Even considering that the snow peaks over 10000 meters must bypass the past, it is only seven or eight hundred miles for more than 300 elite disciples of the demon temple to reach Lukai gorge from here.
Even at such a close distance, Chen Hai, Qi Hanjiang and Du Linan went out in person and guessed that after the demon temple had hidden an ambush in this area, it would take five days to search for clues. It can be seen how deep the demon temple was hidden this time.
“……”
Away from the valley where the demon Temple disciples were hiding, Qi Hanjiang and Du Linan stopped to listen to Chen Hai describe the bottom of the valley. At this time, Du Linan opened his mouth and didn''t know what to say for a long time,
"The green haired lynx is a spirit beast in front of Miao Mingcheng, the Dharma protector of the demon temple. Miao Mingcheng has strong cultivation accomplishments in the middle of the Taoist pill realm. It is said that the green haired lynx in front of him has also cultivated half a step into the Taoist pill realm, and it is only half a step away from cultivating the Taoist pill to turn into a human shape; Wu Linxian is a spirit beast of Su chonghu, the leader of the demon temple to teach yulongzi, the eldest disciple of Zhou Nan. Su chonghu''s cultivation accomplishments are better than Su Yiran Gao, twenty years ago, he was already a self-cultivation in the late Ming Dynasty. In recent years, he lurked in Dajinshan and didn''t show up. Even if he didn''t become a Taoist pill, it should be the number of people in half a step of the Taoist pill level. "
Du Linan could guess that the demon temple would not allow Lucheng to fall under the control of Hexi, but he did not expect that the three strong demon temples Miao Mingcheng, Su chonghu and Yue Yiran had gathered in Lucheng at this time, while Zhang Xiong and Kong Peng led 700000 people Ma Zheng to control the King City of Western Qiang, which was more than 300 miles away from Lucheng.
Do they still have a chance to win Lucheng?
"The demon Temple laid such a deep trap, but I didn''t notice it. I almost caused the elite army to suffer heavy losses. Please punish me. I have no face to stay in Lucheng again. After a while, I will ask the zongmen to change other martial brothers to preside over the Taiwei guild." Du Linan said dejectedly.
"Lord Du, where do you start?" Chen Hai said with a smile. "Otherwise, Lord Du''s early work is meticulous enough, I can hardly have a chance to discover the conspiracy of the demon temple."
Chen Hai''s words are not empty words. If Du Linan had not mastered the people and horses directly lurking in Lucheng in the demon temple, and if Du Linan had not accurately predicted the attitude of Lucheng''s five surnames, how could he guess that there were elite ambushes in the demon temple in the mountains south of Lucheng Gorge?
"What''s the use of discovering the conspiracy of the demon temple?" Chen Hai''s words didn''t make Du Linan feel good. Such a powerful elite combat power of the demon Temple lurked on one side. The rebels led by Zhang and Kong were so close to Lucheng that they couldn''t reach the whip on the West side of the river no matter what.
No matter how bold Qi Hanjiang is, he also knows that more than 300 elite disciples and more than 300 powerful monsters in the demon Temple cooperate with Zhang Kong''s 60000 or 70000 rebels to crush the Jingjue army and ye''s Royal Army at this time.
"Let''s go to lukaixia to meet Zhao Jin, the master of the Zhao family. Now that we know the plot of the demon temple, the situation is much simpler than you think. What are you doing with a sad face?" Chen Hai asked with a smile.
"Why did the national envoy say so?" Du Linan asked puzzled.
"At this time, the demon Temple dares to have a fair war with taiweizong in Lucheng?" Chen Hai asked.
Du Linan was stunned at first, then realized in a trance, patted his forehead and laughed: "yes, yes, I want to fork out. When the demon Temple ambush is not known, it is a good plan. Once he shows his track..."
