Hunting fairies and demons

Chapter 38 Within the forbidden area

After breaking the limit four times, Lu Yan's confidence has now greatly increased. Even if he encounters a master like Liu Xingren, he is not afraid and can even win.

Lu Yan lurked outside the forbidden area again.

He hid in a big tree and observed quietly.

This forbidden area is very large. Although the two gate clans have sent military troops to guard it, how many people should the two gate clans have?

Take the Liu family as an example. On the surface, there are only three hundred people in the military force.

Even if there is something hidden, it will never exceed four hundred.

We still need to guard our own bloodline. Being able to send two hundred troops to guard this place is already incredible.

It is impossible to cover everything in such a large area. It is not difficult to sneak into it.

It's just that ordinary warriors don't dare, or in other words, it's not necessary.

Lu Yan observed for several hours and found out the pattern of military patrols. Then he rushed out like a cheetah and successfully entered the forbidden area with the help of the cover of mountains, rocks and vegetation.

At the same time, he communicated with the Taoist book. The light of the Taoist book flickered and vaguely pointed out the direction. Lu Yan went in the direction indicated by the Taoist book.

The direction indicated by the Taoist book seems to be those collapsed mountain peaks.

Lu Yan thought.

Someone!

Lu Yan quickly dodged and hid behind several boulders.

Two military troops passed by not far away.

After all, there are military troops guarding the outside of the forbidden area, and there are also military troops patrolling the inside from time to time.

The two gatekeepers attach so much importance to this place, what exactly is there?

Lu Yan's curiosity became even more intense.

But he suppressed his curiosity.

Curiosity can sometimes kill people. His main purpose of coming in was to find Taoist food, not because of curiosity.

After a while, Lu Yan moved forward again.

In the next half hour, Lu Yan avoided three waves of people in a row and gradually approached the depths of the forbidden area.

There are so many tents there.

Lu Yan looked ahead, speechless.

Taoism reacts most violently in that direction.

But there, looking around, I saw at least hundreds of huge tents, and from time to time, I could see figures walking among them.

The number of people was far beyond Lu Yan's expectations.

It is impossible for the two great clans to have so many armed forces.

Lu Yan shook his head.

In the martial arts, the worst has to break the limit at once.

You also need to match war horses, armor, weapons, etc. to raise an army, but it requires a lot of resources.

The Liu family and the Wu family are just Wuhou-level clans, and it is impossible to raise too many military troops.

No matter what, it is definitely impossible to go in this direction. There are too many people and it is too easy to be discovered.

Lu Yan could only change direction and look to the left.

Taoism also reacted there, but not so strongly.

Without hesitation, Lu Yan headed to the left.

After a while, the terrain opened up.

There were also several military troops guarding here, but Lu Yan easily sneaked in.

What comes into view are some ancient buildings.

There are collapsed stone pillars, collapsed buildings, and huge statues.

Lu Yan even saw a huge altar, tens of meters high, which should have been used for sacrifices in ancient times.

The Taoist book points to this altar.

Lu Yan approached quietly and found that one side of the altar had collapsed and there were piles of rubble. The Daoshu's reaction was among the piles of rubble.

Lu Yan carefully investigated and after confirming the specific location, he quietly started searching.

He moved very gently, handling it gently, fearing to disturb the military troops not far away.

Fortunately, the process went smoothly. After rummaging for a while, Lu Yan successfully found a square copper block, which was very similar to the one he bought from Li Helin before.

Lu Yan put it away happily.

Tao Shu, there is still a reaction.

Lu Yan looked at a mountain peak deeper.

Under this mountain peak, there is a cave. It is dark inside and cannot be seen clearly.

The target is in the cave.

Lu Yan approached the mountain peak, made sure that no one was inside, and sneaked in with confidence.

The cave is very wide, and there are also many ancient buildings, but most of them have weathered over time.

There are some murals on the walls, which are also blurry.

When Lu Yan came to the center of the cave, he smelled a stench.

There was a deep pit in the center of the cave. When I looked in, I felt nauseated and almost vomited.

I saw that in the deep pit, there were all corpses, densely packed, no less than hundreds.

Some have turned into bones, others have not completely rotted, with maggots squirming and flies flying around.

No wonder there's no one here.

Judging from the corpses, they should all be young people.

So many people died, and they were all young people, by the way.

Lu Yan suddenly remembered that on the day he first entered Kaoshan Village, Mr. Liu said that he would recruit a group of young people to join the army and teach martial arts.

But later Lu Yan inquired after joining the Red Guards, and no one knew where those young people had gone.

It's just that the family members of those people can receive their monthly salary every month, so no one makes trouble.

At that time, Lu Yan thought those people were hiding somewhere and training in secret.

Many clans have hidden strengths and secretly cultivate a group of masters.

Now it seems that there is a high probability that they are in this forbidden area, and many people are dead.

Suddenly, Lu Yan heard footsteps.

He dodged and hid behind a statue.

Quickly, drop the body and leave. It stinks so much.

Why do we do this kind of work every time?

Hey, who told us that our cultivation level is low? We have only broken the limit once. If we don't do it, who would dare? Stop complaining, just throw it away and run away.

Two warriors, each carrying a corpse, threw it into the pit, and then retreated as fast as they could.

After the two military soldiers left, Lu Yan appeared at the edge of the pit.

Sure enough, there were two more corpses in the pit.

One of them had half of his head missing, while the other had half of his body covered in blood and flesh. It was unknown what force caused him to be beaten like this.

Lu Yan sighed, in this world, human lives are like grass and livestock.

If you don’t have strength, you will be at the mercy of others.

In this world, all he can do is to improve his strength as much as possible to make himself and his family live a better life. There is nothing else he can do.

After a while, Lu Yan cheered up and started looking for Taoist food.

Soon, he found a yellow-orange stone on a broken statue. It was very ordinary, and ordinary people could easily mistake it for an ordinary stone.

If Lu Yan hadn't had a Taoist book, he wouldn't have noticed anything unusual.

He put away the stone and continued to read the book of Taoism, but there was no other reaction.

I harvested two pieces of Taoist food this time, which is good. Let's leave first.

Lu Yan said secretly.

Deep in the forbidden area, on the other side of the collapsed peaks, there were too many people and too many masters gathered. There might be Marquis Wu sitting in charge, so he didn't dare to go yet.

We can only wait until his cultivation level improves later, and at least have the ability to escape from the hands of Marquis Wu, to find out again.

Lu Yan quietly moved out, avoiding the two waves of military troops.

Gu Gu

Suddenly, bursts of birdsong sounded.

Upon hearing this voice, Lu Yan's expression changed.

This is the whistle sound used by the Liu family to notify each other.

Has he been discovered?

Not really.

He didn't alert anyone.

Something was wrong, so Lu Yan climbed up a big tree and hid himself.

Not long after he climbed up the big tree, there were several figures running wildly out from the depths of the forbidden area, followed by a large number of figures chasing him.

And around them, there were waves of military troops, surrounding those few people.

We are members of the Situ family in Guangji City, don't kill us.

Are you trying to cause a war between clans?

Those people yelled.

kill!

What answered them was an indifferent voice.

Whoosh whoosh!

Dozens of arrows flew out of the air, covering the three fleeing figures.

Two of them were not strong enough and were shot into a hornet's nest.

Although the other person was also shot, he survived tenaciously thanks to his four limit-breaking cultivations.

But one of Liu's masters who had broken the limit five times arrived, and with a flash of sword light, the man's head flew high into the sky.

I came in and found out the secret, and I still want to leave.
