Chapter 1175

The clan leader stroked his chin and thought: "Perhaps we can ask the monster group in the mountain for help, just like the time before last. The target travels in the wild, isn't it normal to be attacked by monsters?" Monsters don't care about these broken things in the human world, they are willing to work if given enough benefits.

He Lingchuan and Dong Rui trekked for a long time in the big mountains and finally saw White Head Ridge.

The mountains are emerald green, only these few mountain peaks have white tops, which can be discovered from far away.

That's not white snow, just the mountain rocks are grayish white.

"We're here, how do we get in touch with that group of fox monsters?" The task given by Lingshan is to find the Three-Tailed fox monster. Dong Rui asked him, "Don't say we have to fight first, not knowing each other without fighting."

This is someone else's territory.

"Go to the mountainside first." He Lingchuan pointed to the mountain, "Fang Canran gave a method of contact."

The weather in this mountain is strange. Last night's heavy rain all fell near Jing Mountain, but this place didn't get a bit of it. The ground was dry, and the snail toads couldn't walk for a few miles before they had to stop and rest. So the two planned to walk up the mountain.

But just as they walked to the foot of the mountain, someone blocked the way ahead.

A team of people stood here, sixty or seventy, all soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons. The standard military armor on their bodies was quite excellent, and He Lingchuan was sure he hadn't seen it before.

Before He Lingchuan could speak, two soldiers stepped forward: "What are you doing here?"

Meeting passersby in the wilderness, of course, you have to ask.

"We are merchants from Giant Deer Port, going to the Yao Nation to do business."

"Our army is eliminating monsters, the road ahead is blocked." The soldiers warned them, "No matter where you are going, take a detour."

"Whose army are you?"

"We are from the Yao Nation."

Dong Rui was surprised: "What happened on this mountain?"

Did they come so coincidentally?

"A big monster has been eating people one after another recently, and has been surrounded by us on the mountain." The soldier pointed to the east, "If you don't want to die, leave quickly!"

He Lingchuan and the other thanked them, walked dozens of feet in the direction he pointed, until the soldiers couldn't see them, before slipping into the jungle on the side.

"I knew this support task was not simple." Dong Rui muttered, "The task target is blocked on the mountain, we have to find a way to pick it up?"

"It seems so. I see there are many soldiers in the forest, the Yao Nation probably surrounded the mountain." He Lingchuan didn't hesitate, "Summon the snail toad."

They are here to pick people up, it's best not to have a head-on conflict with the Yao Nation army.

But the first step of the support task was frustrated, because the snail toad dived half a mile toward the mountain, but couldn't move an inch—

There is a barrier, no passage ahead!

"Ho, the Yao Nation army actually set up an escape-prohibiting barrier on White Head Ridge?" Dong Rui clicked his tongue, "It's been a long time since I've seen such a wealthy master."

Escape prohibition is a common formation, the difficulty of setting it up is not high, but it consumes a lot of energy, and the larger the coverage area, the more mysterious crystals it consumes.

Even in a tense siege battle, the escape-prohibiting formation cannot be kept on all the time. Ordinary nations and cities cannot afford this money-burning giant.

"You've enjoyed it more than once, haven't you?"

"That was in Beijia." Dong Rui shook his head, "The Monster Emperor sent General Golden Horn to catch us."

Beijia found their whereabouts and set up an escape-prohibiting formation in advance, which was to seal the entire mountain, but they saw through it and escaped in advance.

This is the Flash Gold Plain! The Yao Nation could actually use an escape-prohibiting barrier on the entire mountain just to catch a big monster.

Seeing the leopard through the tube, He Lingchuan felt that he had probably underestimated the strength of the Yao Nation before.

After the coup in the Bo Nation, he still felt that there would not be a very powerful nation on the Flash Gold Plain.

Dong Rui asked him habitually: "What now?"

"Find someone to ask, then go in."

The two surfaced again, looking for opportunities on the periphery of the barrier. Both of them put on masks at random; He Lingchuan had a dragon-head mask, and Dong Rui had a wolf-head mask. This was prepared before leaving the Yangshan Archipelago—who knew if the Yao army had aerial eyes, they didn't want to expose themselves.

But the Yao Nation army was cautious, all walking in teams of five.

He Lingchuan waited patiently for a while, and finally a soldier went out to relieve himself alone.

This unlucky guy was about to walk back when he fell into Dong Rui's clutches.

He was not a warrior who would rather die than surrender. After being repaired by the ghost ape a few times, he confessed with two black eyes.

First of all, his answer confirmed the most important intelligence: the target pursued by the Yao Nation army was the same as He Lingchuan's, which was a nest of fox monsters.

This hunt had lasted for three days, the fox monsters kept changing positions, and the army was chasing after them. However, the tunnels of White Head Ridge were intertwined, which was too many, and perhaps it was also the result of the fox monsters' careful construction. Three days passed, and the fox monsters were still fleeing all over the mountain.

White Head Ridge is not single; it is composed of five mountain peaks.

In the past few days, the Yao Nation army has been trying to outflank and minimize their range of activity. If there are no accidents, it is very likely that they will be captured in a net-closing manner.

Of course, since the fox monsters have persisted for so long, accidents will come as scheduled.

Didn't He Lingchuan, who is supporting it, come here? But he also received bad news:

In the past few days, the fox monster was seriously injured.

"Not good." He Lingchuan muttered, "This is not good."

The information he got from Fang Canran showed that the fox monster had fought with the Yao Nation a few months ago, and the injury had not been fully recovered; now it has added new injuries, "Tsk, this support task might turn into a rescue task."

"Have to let the Mou Nation add money later." Dong Rui looked up at the sky, "It's almost dark, it's a good opportunity for us to go up the mountain. However, it won't be easy to come down."

The entire mountain is escape-prohibited, so they and the fox monsters have to walk out of here.

Next, He Lingchuan asked the captive about the setting of the encirclement. But this guy was just a small soldier, only responsible for the little things at his post, and his knowledge was limited.

He Lingchuan only asked that the commander of this operation was surnamed Yu, a heavy-armed general of the Yao Nation.

The name sounds like he is unparalleled in bravery, but in fact, this is a miscellaneous title.

The Yao Nation was established a long time ago, and there are many miscellaneous generals. This General Yu is only twenty-five years old, and is also the one who promoted the fastest.

In this operation, he led 1,700 Yao troops to encircle and suppress the big monster Three-Tailed, blocking several tunnel exits in advance, otherwise the difficulty of capture would have at least doubled.

After asking clearly, the two disposed of the captive and entered the mountain.

It is easy for them to avoid the Yao army on the mountain. These teams all held high pine oil torches. Looking from a distance, the whole mountain was dotted with stars, and there were torches everywhere.

This was done by the Yao army on purpose, to force the fox monsters to be flustered, but objectively it facilitated the actions of He Lingchuan and the other.

Looking at where the torches are sparse, you know that those places have either been searched, or are very likely the hiding place of the fox monsters.

"Not optimistic." Dong Rui put his hand on his forehead, "It seems the fox monsters don't have much room to maneuver. It's lucky for them that we rushed here at this time."
