The next morning.
After a good sleep, Wu Feng felt refreshed.
But she looked at Huo Yuhao, who seemed a little listless, and asked hesitantly, "Yuhao, did I sleep poorly last night?"
Huo Yuhao explained with a somewhat unnatural look on his face, "How could that be? It's just that I had insomnia last night and fell asleep very late."
Huo Yuhao had never imagined that Gu Yuena could have such great perseverance. She was...
Gu Yuena blinked her eyes when she heard that, looking innocent.
She only remembered that it was very moist.
……
In the corner of the camp, Yan Shaozhe, who was eating breakfast, felt a lot more at ease when listening to the report from Dai Yuheng who had just returned.
According to the information brought back by Dai Yueheng, most of the members of the Death Hand bandit group are just ordinary bandits, and soul masters only account for a small part.
Although there is no clear information about the evil soul master who is the leader, and no one knows his specific abilities, we only know that he is a soul master at the Soul King level.
Even before becoming a Titled Douluo or even a Super Douluo, an evil soul master's abilities far surpass those of an ordinary soul master. However, it is extremely rare for an evil soul master at the Soul King level to continuously unleash Soul Emperor-level damage.
And in their regular team, there are two Soul Emperors, not to mention I am supporting them from behind, so how could anything go wrong?
Thinking of this, Yan Shaozhe nodded slightly and said softly: "After everyone finishes breakfast and takes a short rest, we will set off for Mingdou Mountains."
"Yes, Dean Yan."
Dai Yuheng lowered his head, making it impossible to see the cold light that flashed in his eyes.
Chapter 141: Time Stop is of course used for transportation
The Mingdou Mountains are steep and rugged, with peaks stacked on top of each other. They were formed after the collision of two continents four thousand years ago. Now they lie across the border between Xingluo and Riyue, and their internal environment is extremely complex and changeable.
According to the intelligence brought back by Dai Yuheng, the main activity area of the bandit group called Death Hand is in the central area of Mingdou Mountains, which is the national border and a very sensitive location.
This is also one of the reasons why the Western Army of the Xingluo Empire has failed to completely eradicate it despite sending troops to encircle and suppress it many times.
Fortunately, this mountain forest with dense vegetation and complex terrain is not an insurmountable obstacle for the students of Shrek Academy.
After Zhang Lexuan observed the location of the Wenlan Forest with her rich experience, she quickly led everyone to discover the traces left by the bandit group with the help of Huo Yuhao's mental detection.
"stop."
Zhang Lexuan, who was walking at the front of the team, raised her hand and stopped everyone.
At this time, Yan Shaozhe was just like he was last time in the Star Dou Great Forest, hanging about a mile behind everyone else and not providing any direct help.
Zhang Lexuan lowered her voice and spoke clearly, "Their hiding cave should be at the bottom of the hillside 700 meters to the west.
"Xiao Tao, you will lead the regular team in making arrangements. The reserve team members and Yuhao will stay at the cave entrance with me and Teacher Gu Yuena to deal with any bandits who might escape."
"No problem, Senior Sister, just leave the rest to us."
Ma Xiaotao readily agreed, very satisfied with Zhang Lexuan's arrangement. Without having to worry about the safety of the reserve team members and Huo Yuhao, all that remained was to simply get started.
After hearing Zhang Lexuan's arrangement, Dai Yuheng and Chen Zifeng looked at each other.
Dai Yuheng then stepped forward and said:
"Senior Sister, Junior Huo should be one of our regular team members now, so he should be participating in this operation. This can also be considered another team run-in before the competition officially begins, right?"
Zhang Lexuan frowned, seeming a little dissatisfied.
Before she could say anything, the hot-tempered Ma Xiaotao couldn't hold back anymore and started to retort:
"Dai Yaoheng, it's true that Yuhao is a regular player, but he's not a formal member of the Supervisory Group. Neither my teacher nor my senior sister arranged for him to directly participate in this operation. What are you doing here pretending to be something you're not?
Besides, if you really cared so much about teamwork, why didn't you come back from the start to the end of the scrimmage the afternoon before yesterday?"
Speaking of the latter part, Ma Xiaotao also laughed out loud without any concealment.
Dai Yuheng's expression froze, but fortunately he had anticipated this situation and did not refute it. Instead, Chen Zifeng beside him spoke in a cold and hard tone:
"With great power comes great responsibility. Junior Huo is clearly very capable, so why does he still hang out with the girls from the outer courtyard and not use his own strengths?
Or is it that although Junior Huo is powerful, he is actually a coward? If that is the case, then I, Chen Zifeng, have misjudged him. Even if I was no match for Junior Huo, I should have fought him fairly.
He patted Dai Yuheng's shoulder again and said in an impassioned tone, "Forget it, Yuheng. Although everyone can kill evil spirit masters, since Huo Xuedi wants to stay in the safety of the rear, then let him go."
But I, Chen Zifeng, am not a coward. When the time comes, I will definitely rush to the front, so that everyone will know that my Soul-Chasing Sword is not in vain! "
Hearing Chen Zifeng's words, everyone's expression changed in unison.
Especially Zhang Lexuan, her brows furrowed even deeper.
How could she not hear that both Dai Yuheng and Chen Zifeng were urging Huo Yuhao to enter the cave by all means?
Could it be that in that cave, besides the Death Hand Bandits, there are other unknown existences?
Before she could figure it out, she heard Yan Shaozhe's voice in her ears.
"Le Xuan, for the sake of team unity, let's let Huo Yuhao participate.
I've already sensed the cave; it's only a few miles long, and there are only three Soul Kings there. It shouldn't be a difficult task for the regular team members."
Zhang Lexuan didn't respond to Yan Shaozhe immediately. Instead, she turned her gaze to Huo Yuhao and asked softly, "Yuhao, what do you think?"
Huo Yuhao could clearly sense that the original hostility between Dai Yueheng and Chen Zifeng had now transformed into a malice so strong that it was almost condensed into substance.
He stopped Gu Yuena who was beside him from wanting to raise her hand and swat the two flies to death, and said with a half-smile:
"Seniors Dai and Chen are right. Evil soul masters are to be killed by all. How can I avoid a fight? Then please lead the way."
There was a gleam of light in the eyes of Dai Yueheng and Chen Zifeng. They obviously did not expect that Huo Yuhao could be persuaded by such a simple provocation.
Then they didn't need to try the methods they had prepared later. As expected, Huo Yuhao was still too young and hot-headed and couldn't stand provocation.
Ma Xiaotao's eyes narrowed, impatience evident between her brows. Although she had great faith in Huo Yuhao's abilities and knew his calm demeanor, why would she fall for such a simple provocation?
Ling Luochen walked slowly to the other side of Huo Yuhao, put his arm around him, and spoke in a cold voice:
"Then Yuhao can just stay by my side. He's right in the middle of the team and can provide better assistance to everyone."
Seeing this, Ma Xiaotao nodded slightly and did not refute Ling Luochen's words.
Her own soul skills are still weaker than Ling Luochen's in defense, not to mention that when Ling Luochen and Huo Yuhao are together, the ability they can exert is probably far beyond that of an ordinary Soul Sage.
But wait, if she finds out that Dai Yuheng and Chen Zifeng have evil intentions and even want to harm Yuhao, even if the teacher might try to stop them, she will kill these two little bastards directly.
Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath and said softly, "Everyone, change your clothes and get ready for action."
There are differences between men and women, and the students in the inner courtyard also skillfully stood in the bushes on both sides, wearing the special equipment for Shrek supervisors.
However, Huo Yuhao did not get the Supervisor's Ring this time, so he did not have to change his clothes.
Everyone gathered again, Dai Yuheng and Chen Zifeng were the first to rush out, and Ma Xiaotao lagged behind slightly.
Huo Yuhao and Gong Yangmo were at the end of the team, Ling Luochen was next to Huo Yuhao, and Yao Haoxuan was on Gong Yangmo's side, forming a standard mobile formation.
With rapid movement, the eight people soon approached the cave where the Death Hand bandit gang was located.
A strong and sickening smell of blood wafted into their noses, and the things inside the cave made everyone's faces change.
Dozens of human skins were hanging on the damp cave walls on both sides, and there were even children's corpses pierced by stone pillars and hanging in the air.
Before the bandits guarding the cave entrance could make a sound, the blood-red sword flew across like a rainbow, swiftly, accurately and ruthlessly, severing their necks in an instant.
Chen Zifeng retracted his Soul-Chasing Sword, exchanged a glance with Dai Yueheng, and then rushed forward a little, widening the distance between him and the main force, and was the first to rush into the cave.
Ma Xiaotao, who was following behind them, was a little confused seeing the two of them looking so anxious as if they were in a hurry to be reincarnated. Could it be that she had guessed wrong before?
Huo Yuhao's eyes were fixed on the corpses that had collapsed to the ground, their throats cut by a sword, and were extremely well preserved. He had some inexplicable guesses in his mind.
The reserve team, which was advancing slowly behind the main team, approached the cave entrance and saw what was in front of them clearly. Except for Zhang Lexuan and Gu Yuena, all the women turned pale and their stomachs churned. It was obvious that they still found it difficult to accept this bloody and cruel scene.
Zhang Lexuan sighed softly and said softly, "Schoolmates, I will guard the cave entrance from now on. You can use your spirit power to guide the bodies of those innocent people through the air and bury them."
It is still a bit unreasonable to ask these reserve members who have not experienced real brutal battles to directly participate in the killing.
Fortunately, Yan Shaozhe only arranged for them to experience the evil of evil soul masters and accelerate their spiritual growth.
Therefore, their main task is to protect themselves, and Zhang Lexuan naturally would not think of rushing in with them.
Yan Shaozhe, who was standing on the top of the cave, sensed the situation inside and outside the cave and nodded with satisfaction.
In his opinion, everything was under control and he believed that this inspection mission would be completed smoothly and without any problems in the near future.
Inside the cave, the noisy fighting became more intense.
As they walked along, Huo Yuhao could also notice that most of the bandits killed by Dai Yueheng and Chen Zifeng had relatively intact bodies without exception.
You have to know that in his previous life, when facing an enemy, Dai Yaoheng would sometimes even tear them apart alive in order to demonstrate his strength. And now, although the corpse left on the ground was also bloody and mangled, it was obviously much more intact.
Especially in such a small situation with many enemies, Dai Yuheng did not use large-scale attack soul skills such as White Tiger Meteor Shower, but only relied on a pair of tiger claws to fight the enemy.
Huo Yuhao just looked at the strange behavior of Dai Yueheng and Chen Zifeng with an indifferent expression.
The other inner court students who had also joined the battle did not notice anything unusual about the two men.
Rather, if people didn't know that the Death Messenger possessed the extremely rare corpse explosion skill, who would pay special attention to those corpses?
Compared to Dai Yueheng and Chen Zifeng, who were extremely restrained in their actions, Ma Xiaotao's phoenix flame burned fiercely, illuminating the entire cave in red.
The three-meter-long fire phoenix wings behind her would hurt anyone who touched them, and would turn into ashes if they hit anything.
Ling Luochen's ice-blue cold current was no less powerful. The condensed ice blades silently reaped the lives of the robbers. At the same time, the erected ice prisons tightly trapped the enemies who wanted to escape.
Xixi, hiding in the shadows, would kill the robbers cleanly and efficiently in a flash of lightning every time she attacked.
Gong Yang Mo's colorful flowing light and Yao Haoxuan's battle cry soul skill after he turned into a giant were also assisting everyone.
The battle continued until Dai Yuheng caught a Soul King-level opponent, smashed his head with a palm, and then threw the corpse in his hand to the center of the team behind him.
The cave was filled with the bodies of numerous bandits lying in all directions. Roughly speaking, there were more than a hundred of them. The smell of blood in the air was becoming increasingly strong, making people want to vomit.
At this moment, a sharp whistling sound came from the depths of the cave.
"Who dares to challenge me, the messenger of death? I will turn you all into my corpse slaves and you will never be able to reincarnate!"
Hearing this sound, the faces of the remaining bandits changed, and they all trembled all over and ran desperately towards the depression under the cave wall, as if they were avoiding something terrifying.
The dead bodies on the ground swelled and turned red at an alarming speed without any warning, emitting a terrifying and dangerous aura.
At the moment of explosion, dazzling purple-gold light rose up, and golden threads flowed in the void. Time and space froze in an instant, and the entire cave fell into a dead silence.
