Wang Yan was a little helpless, although he was the leader in name, he was not as good as Ma Xiaotao in terms of cultivation, and naturally he couldn't restrain the headmaster, so he apologized: "My lord, then we won't bother you. "
"Yes. I hope to see you all again." After saying this, Duke Baihu turned around and walked towards the big cowhide tent.
Du Leisi led the people to another tent, first arranged meals for them to rest, and then went to collect the information and clues needed by the Shrek people. Before leaving, he glanced at Ning Tian with some doubts. , Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.
Wang Yandao: "After dinner, everyone rests for three hours, and then we set off to enter the Mingdou Mountain Range. I believe the information should have arrived by then."
After yesterday's rush, everyone was a little tired, and they had to adjust their physical condition to the best before they were suitable for fighting in the mountains.
Xu Sanshi couldn't help asking: "Teacher Wang, the White Tiger Guards under Duke Baihu are quite strong, why didn't they send the White Tiger Guards to exterminate them?"
Dai Yueheng said: "I've been there. If there are too many people going, the other party will run away. If there are few people going, it will be useless. The Death Hand bandits are strong and extremely cunning. There are spies in the army. My father has sent people to exterminate them many times, but the losses are not small but they have returned without success. The place where the bandits are stationed is too sensitive on the border between the two countries. In order to avoid unnecessary wars, the Central Army Corps We can only bear it. We are different and we are not restricted by the state, this time we must kill them thoroughly."
After eating, everyone began to meditate and rest immediately. For the students in the inner courtyard, this kind of task was already commonplace.In the outer courtyard, Beibei, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan were older and quicker to accept.Ning Tian, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao are only 12 years old.This kind of task is really early for them. In a sense, they are all just children.
But this matter was decided by Elder Xuan, and no one present could change it.Wang Yan knew very well that what Elder Xuan did was not to let Huo Yuhao and the others directly participate in the killing, but to let them see the whole mission.Accelerate their mental age growth.No matter how close the academy's assessment and discussions are to actual combat, it is not as good as real combat in this atmosphere, which can sharpen people's minds.In fact, the real main attack was still the seven people in the inner courtyard.
Elder Xuan did not enter the barracks because he was unwilling to establish a relationship with the officials. With his strength and status, he could represent Shrek Academy.But his old man will never lose track of these students, so he is sure to bring these young people to the war.
After three hours of meditation, everyone's fatigue was swept away.At this time, it was already past noon, after eating the lunch prepared by Durex.Durex handed over all the information collected by the Central Army Corps to them.
According to the information, the main area of activity of the Death Hand Bandit Group is in the central area of the Mingdou Mountain Range. They will only go down the mountain to plunder at the fastest speed when they have a specific target.There are about 300 members of the entire bandit group.All young adults.Among them, soul masters accounted for about one-tenth of the number.There is no accurate information on who the leader of the bandit group is.I just know that it is a soul master whose cultivation base is at least above the level of soul king, and there is no way to know his ability.
The reason why there is so little information is because the hands of death have never left anyone alive, and the methods are extremely cruel.
The latest information comes from about half a month ago, they robbed a group of merchants and escaped into the Mingdou Mountain Range.Intelligence has a general bearing from which it leaves.
That's all the information the military can provide, because it is possible to enter the territory of the Sun Moon Empire to fight, so the Western Group Army can't give manpower help, and even the flying soul guide they borrowed cannot be carried into the mountain.
Time was running out, and they were going to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. After confirming the information and getting the map, everyone set off immediately.First, he used the flying soul guide to fly to the entrance of the mountain as indicated by the information under the guidance of the white tiger guards. Then he removed the flying soul guide and entered the Mingdou Mountain Range with the map provided by the military.
Chapter 92 flag
"Keep the formation. I, Dai Yaoheng and Chen Zifeng are in front, with a distance of ten meters. The control system and the auxiliary system are behind. Huo Yuhao, come here, follow me, and maintain mental detection. Beibei and Xu Sanshi, you two are in the rear.
Set off! "
It was Captain Ma Xiaotao who gave the order, and Huo Yuhao was very depressed because he was recruited, so he had to follow behind Ma Xiaotao and release the mental detection to share.
His versatile skill once again showed a great effect. In the complex terrain of the mountains and forests, the three-dimensional image with mental detection is of great benefit to everyone moving forward.Although Huo Yuhao can only extend forward tens of meters in all-round detection, the distance of tens of meters is enough for everyone to half-break.
Arima Xiaotao and the other three opened the way ahead, moving very fast.Chen Zifeng's soul-chasing sword was most effective at this time, with the sword in front, all the thorns were cut quickly.Coupled with the great strength of Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao, a passage was easily opened.When the sky darkened, they had already penetrated into the Mingdou Mountain Range.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Wang Yan reminded Ma Xiaotao, "Let everyone take a break and eat something."
Ma Xiaotao nodded, "Everyone rests where they are, and no fire is allowed, so as not to startle the snake. I'm afraid we will have to search all night tonight."
The students sat around to rest, but Teacher Wang Yan left quietly, Ma Xiaotao didn't pay much attention to his departure.She said to Dai Yaoheng beside her: "Dai Yaoheng, your father is quite handsome."
Dai Yueheng said indifferently: "When my father was young, he was the number one son of our Star Luo Empire. It was not because of his appearance, but because of his talent. My father never entered our Shrek Academy. He was 13 years old. He followed his grandfather to the battlefield. He started as an ordinary soldier, accumulated military merits and was promoted to corps leader, captain, squadron leader, battalion commander, battalion commander, and division commander. He was only 23 years old when he was promoted to army commander. .
At that time, no one knew his origin.After a great battle, his father made outstanding achievements and was transferred back to the imperial capital to serve. When accepting his majesty's award, he was recognized by his majesty because his appearance was too similar to his grandfather's.His Majesty was greatly surprised and gave the Central Army of the Western Group Army to his father.And he said in front of all the ministers that with Dai Hao around, the empire would be safe for a hundred years. "
Ma Xiaotao's eyes lit up, and said: "So, your father is still a hero?"
There was a hint of pride in Dai Yueheng's eyes, "Grandpa said that my father's talent is even comparable to that of the ancestor who was the leader of the first generation of Shrek Seven Monsters. My father is 43 years old this year. He has led the army for 30 years and has fought thousands of battles." Time? You know the strength of the Sun Moon Empire, but the western frontier of our Star Luo Empire has always been impenetrable because of the father who sits here. If there is only one person in our Star Luo Empire who can be a hero, then it is not my father. No way!"
Dai Yueheng's eyes flashed, "After completing this mission, I will complete all thirty surveillance missions. When I graduate from the academy, I will join the army. But I will not stay in the Western Group Army, I will Go to the north, although there are fewer wars there. But I will take the same path as my father, and I will fight for the world with my own ability."
A pair of jade hands patted Dai Yaoheng's shoulders, and said slowly: "Brother Yaoheng, don't set up flags indiscriminately, we still have a lot of trouble this trip."
It was Huo Yuhao who spoke.
"Brother Yuhao, what is Flag?" Dai Yueheng asked in confusion.
"It's okay, it's not important. I want to participate in this operation positively. I have to show my strength this time, otherwise it will be troublesome." Huo Yuhao waved his hand and responded.
Ma Xiaotao was naturally a little surprised at his suspenseful words like this, but she didn't ask too much.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and in this forest, it feels like you can't see your fingers.At this moment, Wang Yan came back.
"Everyone come here." Wang Yan waved his hand, motioning for everyone to come to his side.
The students in the outer court immediately took action, but the seven students in the inner court seemed a little impatient.In terms of cultivation, Wang Yan is also a soul king, but he is about the same as them, and he is also a teacher from the outer courtyard.These inner court students have always only recognized strength.There is not much respect for teachers who are not stronger than them.But the teacher is a teacher after all, so they still gave them face.
Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "I checked the surrounding situation just now, plus the observations along the way, so far I have discovered a few things."
"Wenlan tree has appeared near here. Wenlan tree is a relatively rare tree species. Its heart can be used as medicine, and its trunk is as hard as iron. It is most suitable for making all kinds of furniture. Its growth requires extremely high air. Only Its living environment can only be found in places with extremely rich vegetation. I once read in an ancient book that the place where the Wenlan tree grows must be at least fifty miles deep into the dense forest before it will appear. Its tree heart is very helpful for soul masters who cultivate yin-cold martial arts."
Ma Xiaotao frowned and said, "Mr. Wang, what do you mean by these words?"
Wang Yandao: "What I mean is that the appearance of Wen Lanshu means that we have entered the core area of the Mingdou Mountain Range, or at least the edge of the core area. According to our information, it is possible that the Death Hand bandits may It's an evil soul master. Just now, I discovered this."
While talking, he took out a tree trunk from his storage soul guide.This section of the trunk was half damaged by something, and there was a cylindrical hollow inside.
Wang Yandao: "This is the Wen Lan tree. The heart of the Wen Lan tree is dark blue. It is gone now. That is to say, it was poached by someone. Combined with our goal this time, we can boldly assume that this is the name of the tree. The leader of the bandit may have been done by his subordinates. The purpose is to feed the leader of the bandit. If this is the case, then there is a high possibility that the enemy we are facing is an evil soul master. At the same time, it also means So we should not be far from the enemy."
Ma Xiaotao said: "I agree with the previous point, but why do you say that we are not far from the enemy? Doesn't this wenlan tree grow in other places?" Wang Yan analyzed so much with just a few clues. The information had to be admired by everyone, so Ma Xiaotao unconsciously used the respectful words that should be given to the teacher.
Wang Yan smiled confidently, and said: "I just said that the Wenlan tree is a rare tree species. Since it is rare, it naturally rarely appears. What I just said was only its growth environment. But it really grows Wenlan tree. There are very few places where there are trees. Around here, there are quite a lot of Wenlan trees. It is the largest Wenlan forest I have ever seen. And its tree heart is very important for soul masters who practice Yin and cold martial souls. It is said that it not only has the auxiliary effect, but also enhances the tolerance of the internal organs to the cold and cold soul power. It is a rare good thing.
For them, it can be regarded as a treasure of heaven and earth.If it were you, would you give up such a good thing?Therefore, I can almost conclude that since the bandits discovered and dug Wen Lanshu's heart here, they must not be stationed too far away from here.We were lucky to find the target without taking any detours.Otherwise, the mountains are so vast, and if we don’t find them tomorrow, we can only do aerial reconnaissance to attract the attention of the enemy to defend and counterattack. "
Chapter 93 Foreseeing the Future
Wang Yan's words made everyone feel admiration. Among all fourteen students, he only taught Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.But the three of them only knew that Wang Yan's research on martial arts was very deep and knowledgeable.But he didn't expect that he had such rich experience in fighting in the wild.
Ma Xiaotao subconsciously asked: "Mr. Wang, what should we do now? Should we wait for the rabbit?"
Wang Yan shook his head and said, "No, we have to take the initiative. When people walk in the woods, they always leave some clues. Although it's dark now, I can't find these traces with my own strength, but we have Yu Hao With the spiritual detection, it is not difficult to find these traces. Yuhao, you follow me. Follow my orders to investigate."
"Okay." Huo Yuhao hurried to Wang Yan's side. He also wanted to learn how to find unknown enemies in the dense forest.
Wang Yan led the people into the woods about 300 meters, stopped beside a Wenlan tree, and said: "I just found out that among the destroyed Wenlan trees, the trace of this one is the latest, that is to say It was the last one to be destroyed. Yuhao, use your mental detection to search as carefully as possible within a radius of 30 meters."
Immediately, the surrounding three-dimensional images quickly appeared. Under the control of Huo Yuhao's mental power, the detection did not cover a range of 30 meters in diameter, but spread outward one meter by one meter.In this way, the detected information would not flood into Wang Yan's mind all at once, but gradually appear, which would naturally be more helpful for his analysis and exploration.
Wang Yan gave Huo Yuhao a thumbs up. Among the students he had taught, he liked the child in front of him the most.Perhaps Huo Yuhao is not the smartest among the students he has taught, but he is definitely the most mature, stable and hardworking among his peers.And he is the most talented among the students Wang Yan has taught.
"Stop." Wang Yan snorted, and Huo Yuhao's detection range stopped immediately.
Wang Yan gestured to him not to move, and then he slowly stepped forward to the side at three o'clock, squatted in the bushes for a closer look, and after passing Huo Yuhao's mental detection sharing verification, he waved to everyone. wave.Just move forward slowly in that direction.
Huo Yuhao quickly followed by Wang Yan's side, always maintaining the shared exploration of mental detection.The others followed behind, with Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng protecting the two sides, and the control-type and auxiliary-type soul masters in the center.Xixi and Jiang Nannan, both of the Sensitive Attack Department, disappeared into the night, obviously observing the surrounding situation from a relatively long distance.Everyone moved forward in an orderly manner, although the speed was not fast.But Wang Yan moved forward with firm steps.
Huo Yuhao also provided the mental detection to Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng and Wang Dong at the same time.Through careful observation, they also admired Wang Yan more and more.
With Huo Yuhao's help, Wang Yan was always able to find some subtle traces, such as broken tree branches and shallow footprints left on the ground.A rag left on a tree branch.A little blood left on the thorns of the thorns.
Following these clues, they gradually walked out of the woods in front of them. For more than half an hour, they moved forward at this slow speed.
"Stop." Wang Yan suddenly raised his hand.The students following him immediately squatted down and quickly approached him.
Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "The direction we are looking for should be right. There are a lot of footprints in front of us, obviously people often pass by. The enemy should not be far away. Everyone, adjust your status and prepare for battle."
The woods ahead had become very sparse, and through Huo Yuhao's mental detection and sharing, even Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng could clearly find those traces.Obviously, Wang Yan must have found the right place.
"Teacher Wang, you're amazing." Ma Xiaotao praised in a low voice, and the eyes of other inner courtyard students showed more respect.
Wang Yan said with a wry smile: "My talent for cultivation is not so good, so I put a lot of energy into these miscellaneous studies. It's nothing special. After this competition, I may work in the inner court. If you like it, then I will Just teach you all. Yuhao, how far can your mental detection go?"
After Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, he said, "Within [-] meters, I will do my best."
Wang Yan took a deep breath, nodded immediately, and said, "Okay, then use a straight line to scan the direction from eleven o'clock to three o'clock in front of you. See if you find anything."
"Okay." Huo Yuhao gathered his eyes together, the golden color in his eyes was obviously a bit thicker, his mental detection suddenly changed from comprehensive to one-sided, and he walked straight forward, accompanied by a slight shaking of his head, Scanning the small fan-shaped direction Wang Yan mentioned.
"On the left, there is a hillside about 500 meters away. The footprints are going down the hillside." Huo Yuhao quickly gave the answer, and at the same time ended his straight-line detection.
Wang Yan nodded and said, "In that case, the enemy should be at the bottom of the hill. If I guessed right, there should be a cave where they hid. When we attack later, we must first confirm their identities. After the Death Hand, I don't need to teach you what to do. The reserve team is with me and is in charge of reinforcements, Xiaotao, the main attack is up to you."
"No, teacher, I'll do it." Huo Yuhao quickly interrupted all of this.
When everyone was puzzled, Huo Yuhao once again chose a self-thought soul skill.
The fifth self-thought soul skill.Predict future!
(PS: As in Avengers III, Doctor Strange has the same ability to predict the future through time gems)
The difference is that Huo Yuhao's future prediction can be shared through mental detection, so that all the students and teachers present can see it.
The tragedy of the disciples in the inner courtyard, one dead, one disabled and five seriously injured, that clear scene, that painful wail, were all conveyed in the brains of all the students, that trembling, that despair.That's all.
Even Elder Xuan who was in the dark, when he saw this tragic scene with Huo Yuhao's mental detection, he stopped the flagon in his hand and his body trembled uncontrollably, as if recalling something.
But the picture of spiritual sharing is slowly dissipating.
That terrifying scene is unforgettable in everyone's mind.
Chapter 94 Illusion
……
Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng were blown to the side, both of them vomited blood, but relying on the body protection of their own soul skills, they were not stained by the poisonous blood, and the place where Ma Xiaotao fell was right in front of Huo Yuhao not far away.
Ling Luochen had the ice to defend her whole body. Although she was also blown away, but she was already behind, and coupled with the timely defense, the situation was not too bad. She also spit blood like Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng. No trauma.
However, Chen Zifeng was not as lucky as them. He was also an attack type soul master. In terms of attack power alone, he even surpassed Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng with the same soul ring.However, how could his soul-chasing sword protect his whole body?At critical moments, all he can rely on is his own soul power and the armor of the Shrek Overseer.
At this time, Chen Zifeng's whole body was blown aside, his right leg was gone, and he kept screaming in agony.
He was not the only one who was severely injured, Gongyang Mo was not much stronger than him, he was a super auxiliary soul master, but he was not good at defense!What's more, the group of corpses exploded so suddenly.Although Ling Luochen who was beside him helped to defend him, his chest, abdomen, and legs were still covered in blood and flesh, and there was even smoke coming out of his body, and he had already fallen into a coma.
Yao Haoxuan was in the same dire situation. He had the largest body and the most powerful explosion force. Half of his body was blown away. Obviously, he couldn't survive.
Xixi's situation is slightly stronger than his. With lightning protection and fast speed, only the back is blown.But it was also a bloody mess, and fell to the ground to endure the pain.
The seven disciples in the inner court of Shrek Academy were all injured to varying degrees, and one of them was killed in battle.The originally overwhelming situation has turned into such a tragic situation.
All this happened so suddenly, the people in the outer court were not affected because they were on the periphery, but they were all dumbfounded.
……
There was a golden light in Huo Yuhao's eyes, looking back at the seniors around him, all of them were feeling the pain, and Yao Mingxuan's whole body trembled and twitched.
Ugh.
With a sigh, a figure came behind Huo Yuhao.
On Old Xuan's disheveled face, it seemed haggard, remorseful, and a drop of crystal light slowly slipped down.
After a long time, Elder Xuan spoke.
