Time flies.

The time set by the imperial court for the first batch of Guiyi Realm warriors to enter the valley has come.

After the last incident where a mysterious figure spied on the military camp and deliberately provoked him before escaping, the angel who took over the supreme power of the province in place of Governor Hu was furious.

As a result, the number of troops stationed outside the Valley of the Dead increased from one battalion to three battalions.

The three camps are laid out in the shape of a pin, occupying the three directions of "heaven", "earth" and "man" respectively, forming a rough three-position array.

In this way, no matter which battalion encounters spying, infiltration, or even attack, the other two battalions can quickly provide support.

Under the intimidation of the three battalions of officers and soldiers neatly arrayed, even though there were no less than a hundred Guiyi Realm warriors present, they still did not dare to move rashly.

As for Li Shuwen, Dongxu Realm warriors from various sects, martial arts schools, and forces, as well as the second and third batches of Guiyi Realm warriors who entered the valley, they were all locked up in the provincial capital by larger armies.

Although he looked down upon Jianghu, the imperial court still valued warriors.

After all, the main force of the imperial army were also warriors.

As the largest "sect" in the world, the imperial court can be said to know best how much destructive power groups of warriors can exert when organized.

Link, Senior Brother Shi, Hu Suqi and two disciples of the Bright Heart Sword Sect were walking together, in the middle of the team entering the valley.

Hu Songqi rejected Hu Suqi's invitation and chose to walk alone. She was now wearing a black cloak and walking at the end.

After more than 3,000 warriors in front of them explored the road with their lives, the first quarter of the Valley of the Dead had almost been leveled.

According to the map and route given by the imperial court, this group of Guiyi Realm warriors were able to pass the first quarter very smoothly.

The Valley of the Dead covers a very large area with complex terrain and numerous routes.

Of course, it is impossible for more than a hundred warriors to stay together after entering the valley.

Therefore, not long after entering the valley, the warriors spontaneously divided into small groups and went their own ways.

"This way."

Link sensed the formation in the valley and chose the most dangerous route with the most deaths.

Although the others were a little confused, they still believed in Link and followed him firmly.

Including the two female disciples of the Mingxin Sword Sect, one young and one young.

Before setting off, their elders gave them numerous instructions, telling them to obey Link's command.

No reason given, just a hard requirement.

The two female disciples respected their teacher very much and of course they obeyed.

Link was very satisfied when he saw this.

It would be nice if there were no self-righteous idiots in the team.

In fact, in Link's perception, the formation in the Valley of the Dead has undergone great changes.

The first quarter of the area that the court said had been flattened actually gave rise to many dangerous traps and mechanisms.

It's just that these traps and mechanisms are in the dormant stage and have not yet been awakened.

The warriors re-entering the valley is the triggering condition for awakening traps and mechanisms.

The route Link chose is a special route that has been reduced from extremely dangerous to easy and safe now.

In the formation, it is also called "Shengmen".

For some reason, Hu Songqi chose this route even though she was not walking with Link and the others and could not track Link.

Six people, five in front and one in the back, moved slowly but safely on this rugged, narrow, and steep mountain trail that was as steep as a cliff path.

In other places, warriors fell into traps and traps from time to time.

The good news is that Gui Yi Realm warriors always have some ability to resist and escape.

The bad news is that casualties are still high.

"What's the matter?"

Outside the valley, in the military camp.

Angel looked at the surveillance screen that was a combination of magic and machinery, and was extremely angry as he watched one after another Guiyi Realm warriors die in the first quarter of the area where the people below reported that they had leveled off.

However, the angel did not roar, but asked questions in a calm tone, and then Youyou said: "I need an explanation, an explanation that can be explained to the higher authorities."

However, the calmer the tone, the greater the stress caused.

The officials responsible for drawing the map were frightened and trembling all over, but they did not dare to show it.

He racked his brains and made up a reason why the operating mechanism in the Valley of the Dead was unexplored and there might be changes. He forced himself to calm down and reported it without letting his teeth chatter.

"Um."

Fortunately, Angel really only needs a reasonable reason.

This made the officials breathe a sigh of relief.

This life was saved.

However, the good times did not last long. I only heard the angel say indifferently: "Drag him out and put him in prison. Those who are so incompetent and shirk the blame should be investigated and dealt with."

As soon as the words fell, two men wearing taiga entered the tent and dragged out the stunned officials who were speechless with fear.

If you are imprisoned and investigated by Tiqi, even if you don't die in prison, you will still have to shed a layer of your skin.

"Who is this?"

The angel suddenly waved his hand and enlarged a small picture.

Everyone in the tent quickly looked over and found that while the other teams were suffering more or less obstructions, the five-person team in this picture, as well as a woman hanging far behind, were actually moving very smoothly.

No wonder the angels took special notice.

Someone immediately looked through the directory, checked their appearance and body shape, and reported the identities of the six people.

"Hu Shengqing's daughter? Li Shuwen's disciple?"

After listening to the report, the angel thought thoughtfully and murmured to himself, "It's interesting."

In the valley.

In the team known as the "Interesting" team, Link realized that he was being watched.

It’s normal to think about it.

The imperial court spent so much effort to "organize" so many warriors, one after another, to explore the Valley of the Dead, and even took down the extremely capable Governor Hu. Of course, it was impossible to throw the warriors into the Valley of the Dead and ignore them.

Monitoring is inevitable, and it’s a trivial matter.

Link believed that among this group of Guiyi Realm warriors, there must be experts who belonged to the imperial court.

In addition, the Valley of the Dead, which could be explored or not, has been given higher priority by Link after the imperial court intervened.

He didn't go there for the so-called longevity peach and the highest secret book of evil witchcraft. He just wanted to see the true intentions of the court and Emperor Kang Qian.

With this thought in mind, Link ignored the sense of spying on his back and Hu Songqi who was hanging far behind him, but seriously explored the path forward.

When a lion fights a rabbit, he also tries his best.

Link will not be careless just because he has developed mental strength and possesses secret skills.

He can teleport himself and is not afraid of danger, but what about others?

It's better not to have teammates die.

"It's so quiet!"

Xu Huiyun, the younger of the two female disciples of the Mingxin Sword Sect, suddenly let out a sigh.

Walking around a low mountain, it feels like walking from one world to another.

The noisy sounds that had been ringing suddenly suddenly became isolated.

It feels like arriving in a paradise.

Coincidentally, what appeared in front of the five-person team was a peach forest with colorful fallen flowers.

"Stop."

Link noticed something strange and quickly called out a warning.

In his mental perception, there was a cliff ahead, not a peach forest.

But in his vision, like others, he saw peach trees, not cliffs.

The problem is simple, either perception is wrong or vision is wrong.

However, Link felt that perhaps there was no error in perception or vision, but there was a phenomenon of spatial superposition or time confusion.

The other four people heard Link's voice and immediately stopped.

Hu Suqi has actually been releasing his mental power to sense his surroundings.

It's just that the quality and quantity of her mental power are inferior to Link's, and her range isn't as wide, nor is she as sharp.

After receiving the prompt, Hu Suqi noticed the abnormality and immediately asked: "What is going on?"

"I don't know yet."

Link did not reveal his guess, but made a new decision, "Let's change the route and go this way."

Turning to the 9 o'clock direction, Link chose a new route, with no intention of exploring the secrets of the peach forest/cliff.

Curiosity killed the cat.

In the dangerous Valley of the Dead, if you want to live safely, you have to restrain your curiosity.

Even if there is a big secret buried in the peach forest/cliff, Link is not interested at all.

Senior Brother Shi, Hu Suqi and the Mingxin Sword Sect understood Link's plan in a blink of an eye and followed him one after another.

Link's newly chosen route is even more difficult to follow.

From time to time, some humanoid monsters that were half carrion and half bones jumped out to block the way.

At most, the entire road ahead is blocked.

It seems that they are forcing the five-person team to return to the fork in the road and head towards the peach forest/cliff.

These humanoid monsters, if Link guessed correctly, should be the transformations of the previous batches of warriors who died in the valley.

Not every species of plants in the valley can fully absorb the vitality in human flesh and blood.

The corpses that have not been fully exploited become puppet-like humanoid monsters used to deal with those who come after them.

Without the need for Link to take action or the close combat between Brother Shi and two disciples from the Mingxin Sword Sect, Hu Suqi raised her hand and used a fire technique to directly burn through the zombie-like humanoid monsters.

This performance was obviously beyond the expectations of the two disciples of the Mingxin Sword Sect.

Looking at Senior Brother Shi, he couldn't help but become a little strange.

After being together for so long, how could Min Ruohua and Xu Huiyun not know that Senior Brother Shi and Hu Suqi were a couple.

The key point is that Senior Brother Shi seems, maybe, probably, maybe, unable to defeat his opponent.

So, how to ensure family status?

Facing the gazes of Min Ruohua and Xu Huiyun, Senior Brother Shi smiled awkwardly.

After they got together, Senior Brother Shi went from having the upper hand, to being evenly matched, to now having to secretly take the tonic prescribed by his master, and his family status has been declining again and again.

Now he's lying down.

Looking at the blazing flames, the five-person team found an outlet and each used their own methods to avoid the scorching smell.

Behind, Hu Songqi sensed the fluctuation of Hu Suqi's spell and couldn't help but look forward with the "ghost eye" technique.

Looking at the fire method that was burning the zombies, Hu Songqi's expression changed slightly.

It's been a long time since I've seen Hu Suqi take action. Her strength is getting stronger and stronger.

Outside the valley, in the military camp.

Seeing Hu Suqi's fire skills and Hu Songqi's "ghost eyes" through the surveillance screen, the angel couldn't help but sneer.

"What a loyal and courageous Hu Shengqing!"

"My biological daughter practices ancient witchcraft, and my illegitimate daughter practices evil witchcraft, and both of them have reached such a high level, hehehe..."

"Do you really think that the princes and Your Majesty in the court can't see your little thoughts?"

The generals and officials waiting for orders in the tent wished they were deaf at this moment.

Is this something they can listen to?

Behind the angel stood His Majesty, as well as many important officials in the court, so he was not afraid of Governor Hu at all.

But they didn’t!

If even a little bit of news about today's incident spreads, what awaits them will be a strange death.

However, without even thinking about it, Governor Hu must know what the angel said.

Not to mention that Governor Hu has been in the province for so many years and has raised so many people, so he has loyal subordinates.

It is estimated that the angel himself and the forces he represents will most likely take the initiative to inform Governor Hu about today's incident.

Otherwise, without using thunderous means and testing bit by bit, in what year and month can the influence of Governor Hu in this province be completely wiped out?

In the valley.

The fire burned for half an hour before it was able to burn down all the zombies blocking the way.

But I can’t go for the time being.

Where are the ashes and tar everywhere?

Now that Hu Suqi had taken action and exposed his identity as an ancient witchcraft sorcerer, he simply refused to do anything and took action again.

There was no incantation, no casting materials, just a flick of the hand, and the ground covered with ashes and tar rolled automatically.

The dirty soil on the surface was soon dug underneath, and the ground was covered with a layer of new soil.

This hasn't stopped yet.

Hu Suqi pointed again, and an ice crystal trail was quickly formed for one person to walk alone.

Walking along the ice crystal trail, you don’t have to worry about guessing anything dirty.

"Take it easy, you."

Senior Brother Shi looked at Hu Suqi, who had turned quite pale, and felt pity for him.

Hu Suqi just smiled and did not respond.

Senior Brother Shi was very helpless when he saw this.

The five-person team wasted no time and immediately stepped onto the ice crystal path and continued moving forward.

At the same time, Hu Songqi finally made up her mind after standing in front of the peach forest/cliff for nearly an hour.

"Father, you forced me to do this."

Hu Songqi clenched her teeth, and her eyes burst into bone-deep hatred.

She just did some research after receiving the task of bringing out the highest secret book of evil witchcraft from the Valley of the Dead.

Therefore, I know the historical records of the Valley of the Dead and some related anecdotes.

How could she know that the Valley of the Dead was so important in her father's plan?

She had no way of knowing that Emperor Kang Qian would care so much about the Valley of the Dead and mobilize troops so much that he would be so unscrupulous and desperate!

She revealed the existence of the Valley of the Dead just to take revenge on Link after suffering the "humiliation" that she couldn't resist.

When the waves caused by the Valley of the Dead grew bigger and bigger, things quickly went beyond Hu Songqi's expectations and did not go in the direction she had imagined, so she panicked.

Therefore, when Link came to his door and said that he could achieve transcendence by doing something for him.

Hu Songqi had long thought about getting rid of her father's control, so she agreed so readily.

There is little hope, but that is hope.

Now, it's time to give it a try again.

Hu Songqi hesitated for a long time and chose to give it a go.

Anyway, if you fail in the fight, you will most likely die, but if you succeed in the fight, you may be able to fight back.

Why not give it a try? (End of chapter)
