I planted the spiritual roots for my people, and they bestowed upon me a body inscribed with incense

Zhou Gang didn't linger and led his men out of Shaman Ba's tent. Shaman Ba ​​watched Zhou Gang's departing figure, his face filled with gloom.

"Hmph, call me Little Eight, Your Highness Zhou, your good days are coming to an end."

As the group frequently moved behind other scouting teams, they inevitably became spotted by the other teams. This trend spread, and as a result, half of the teams behind them followed suit, moving closer to the back and waiting for others to scout ahead.

This trend lasted for three whole days until General Ouyang of Zhancheng issued his order to each squad leader, at which point the Earth-class vanguard squads returned to their respective scouting areas.

As for Li Yuan's squad, Si Nan looked at the group and said, "Now that the military orders have been issued, the major generals above can see our whereabouts at any time from our identity tags, so this tactic is no longer feasible."

You all need to show some real skills, otherwise, after another hundred miles we will be in the territory of the Shaman Kingdom, and the danger will increase exponentially. As the captain, I must know what each of you is good at.

Then Si Nan glanced at the group of people.

"Do you keep any monsters that track or monitor others?"

Several people shook their heads. At this moment, Luo Tong stepped forward and took out a bag that looked very similar to the Qiankun Bag. Li Yuan glanced at the bag and immediately recognized it as a spirit beast bag that was even more precious than the Qiankun Bag.

He cast a spell, and a white rat with two golden teeth was released.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is my pet golden-toothed rat. It has the ability to track scents, but it has only recently entered the realm of demon rats, so it probably won't be of much help."

When everyone heard that it only had the strength of the first level of Qi Refining, they were somewhat disappointed. If it were a Golden Tooth Rat in the middle or late stages of the first level, it would be able to help them explore the way. However, a Golden Tooth Rat in the early stage of the first level had much weaker tracking ability.

The group looked at each other, then each unleashed their most powerful techniques. When it was Li Yuan's turn, he touched his nose and said awkwardly:

"I am new to the world of cultivation and my foundation is indeed not as solid as yours, so I will just follow behind the group."

The others didn't say anything. Si Nan looked at everyone and began to arrange the formation according to their talents.

Although Luo Tong's Golden Tooth Rat was only at the early stage of Qi Refining, he still sent it to the front to scout ahead.

The group revolved around Luo Tong, while Li Yuan provided support whenever needed.

As the group ventured deeper into Green Wave Slope, the surrounding trees grew increasingly dense and robust. Once they passed through this dense forest, they would truly reach Green Wave Slope. However, nearly half of the people from the Three Kingdoms would perish in this forest.

As the group ventured deeper, the chirping of insects and birds gradually subsided, but none of them realized that danger was approaching.

Less than a hundred meters away from the group, two teams were already lying in wait, one of which consisted entirely of cultivators at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

The other team, though lacking cultivation, possessed incredibly powerful physical auras. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that these individuals were all second- or first-rate martial artists. The two teams combined numbered over twenty people.

After the group had traveled for a while, Si Nan was the first to notice something was wrong and immediately ordered everyone to stop.

Then, as if it had discovered something, the golden-toothed rat returned to Luo Tong and began to squeak.

Li Yuan belatedly came to his senses and immediately summoned his Mo Dao, activating his magic power to hold it horizontally in front of him.

The Mosa people, who were hiding in the shadows, originally intended to wait for the others to walk another mile before making their move. However, seeing that they had been discovered, they stopped hiding and gave a signal. The warriors who were hiding in the shadows jumped out from the dense forests.

These warriors surrounded the crowd as soon as they appeared, followed by the monks from the Samo Kingdom who slowly stepped out.

"The leader looked at the crowd he had surrounded, his face filled with undisguised greed."

"You bunch of idiots! We spotted you thirty miles away, and you still stupidly kept going?"

Looking at the predicament before him, Si Nan's expression was extremely serious. He did not respond to the words of the Mosa Kingdom cultivator, but instead began to silently transmit his voice, preparing to tear open a passage to break through.

Upon hearing Si Nan's telepathic message, the group nodded in agreement. Si Nan then took the lead, unleashing two fireballs as he charged straight towards the encirclement on the south side.

Seeing this, the others followed suit and rushed towards the group to the south.

Upon seeing this, the monks from Mosa Kingdom swarmed around the group, and at the same time, swarms of poisonous insects began to appear on the ground.

Besides blocking the crowd's advance, those martial artists also served another purpose: feeding the poisonous insects.

As the poisonous insects surrounded them, cold sweat broke out on their faces, including Li Yuan. Li Yuan had left the little white snake on the bamboo mountain because he thought that the bamboo mountain still needed someone to guard it.

As the poisonous insects drew closer, the group pulled out all the talismans they had and sprayed them at the insects.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Si Nan took out five Fiery Talismans in succession and surrounded everyone in a circle of fire, which gave them a moment to catch their breath.

Seeing that they wanted to stall for time, the people of Mosa were not in a hurry. They let the poisonous insects wait around them until the fire burned out.

"Gentlemen, I have five Fire Talismans left. They can hold out for a while longer. After the fire goes out, we'll have to rely on our own abilities to escape."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tong turned pale. The previous attack had already depleted half of his magical power. If they fled separately, he would probably be the first to be caught.

He then leaned closer to Li Yuan.

"Fellow Daoist Li, after the fire is extinguished, I'll clear the way, and you can clean up the mess, how about that?"

Li Yuan glanced at Luo Tong, then at the other two. Seeing that they had already teamed up, Li Yuan nodded and said:

"Okay, you clear the way, I'll cover the rear."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tong's face lit up with joy. He then took out a white pill from his Qiankun bag, swallowed it, and began to regulate his breathing.

As the fire subsided, just as everyone was waiting for Si Nan to use the Fiery Talisman, Si Nan threw two more Fiery Talismans towards the south where he was located. Then, he chanted a spell and tried to break out of the encirclement first. Before anyone could react, they were forced to meet the oncoming group.

Li Yuan then realized that Si Nan wanted to leave alone first.

"However, by the time they realized what was happening, the Mosa monks had already arrived in front of them."

The one who entangled Li Yuan was a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining. His cultivation was slightly lower than Li Yuan's, but Li Yuan could only fight and retreat because of the poisonous insects on his body.

The Mosa cultivators were clever; they forced Li Yuan towards Mosa territory, forcing him to confront the poisonous insects head-on if he wanted to break through.

Fortunately, Li Yuan had no other merits, but his magical power was quite substantial, so he could continue to entangle with him.

Just then, Luo Tong, who was standing to the side, suddenly burst into golden light. His aura went from weak to peak in less than a moment. Then he roared at Li Yuan:

"Fellow Daoist Li, now is the time."

After saying this, he moved closer to Li Yuan while still fighting with the Mosa monks.

After getting close to Li Yuan, he unleashed three golden handprints at the Mosa Kingdom cultivators, sending them flying hundreds of meters away.

Then he roared at Li Yuan:

"Run!" With that, Luo Tong took the lead and ran out of the dense forest. Seeing this, Li Yuan quickly followed Luo Tong.
