Chapter 229

Lu Ran's appearance made many soldiers' eyes light up, and they watched carefully.

It could be seen that many people recognized this Da Xia Heaven's Pride.

After Chen Jingjing worshipped the deity, she went to negotiate with the soldiers.

Lu Ran went to the trunk to get his weapons.

"Are you okay?" A beautiful figure came to his side.

"Hmm?" Lu Ran turned his head and saw Jiang Ruyi's profile.

Jiang Ruyi picked up the Silence Zhan Ye Dao and looked at Lu Ran: "You've been very silent all the way."

Lu Ran nodded silently, sighing in his heart.

I, as a son, am not very competent.

All along, his mother has been an incomparably powerful existence in his mind.

The sudden situation caught him off guard, but his strength was low, and he was powerless to do anything.

"Because of Auntie's matter?" Jiang Ruyi came behind Lu Ran and helped him tie and fix the scabbard.

"Mm." Lu Ran picked up the Rosy Clouds Blade and handed it behind him.

"Sister Jingjing said we can only stay in the Demon Cave for seven days," Jiang Ruyi said in a low voice, carefully organizing the equipment for Lu Ran.

Lu Ran understood the other party's meaning and turned to look at the girl: "After the training is over, will you accompany me back to the capital to see her?"

Jiang Ruyi smiled and nodded gently: "Okay."

Her eyes were clear, and her smile was so charming that Lu Ran was secretly distracted.

On the side, Chen Jingjing couldn't help but look at Jiang Ruyi a few more times.

"Excuse me." Si Xianxian came over inappropriately, pulling a 2-meter-long obsidian hammer from the trunk.

She had even more inappropriate words, wanting to play around here and feel the local customs of Xihai.

But Si Xianxian was too embarrassed to say it...

"Let's go," Chen Jingjing reminded.

"Let's go!" Lu Ran took the lead, bringing two teammates to follow Chen Jingjing's pace.

Immediately, Lu Ran felt the influence of "Heaven's Pride."

I, of course, can too!"

Lu Ran was also secretly glad that he had been wearing a hat and mask while taking the plane before, otherwise, he was afraid he would have been blocked at the airport by people.

Led by a soldier, the quartet rotated downward along the stone pillar stairs.

The Demon Cave gate below was like a starry sky curtain, mysterious and profound.

"Phew~"

As everyone walked into it, a night wind blew past, messing up Lu Ran's short, broken hair.

His eyes condensed, and he saw a bright moon hanging in the distant sky.

As Lu Ran was watching, a floating cloud happened to pass by, gradually covering the bright moon.

Full of artistic conception!

After Lu Ran admired it for a moment, he looked at the terrain and landforms of this Demon Cave.

What met his eyes was an endless mountain forest.

"Everyone, please speed up," the leading soldier's urging voice came from below.

"Oh." Lu Ran responded loudly and walked downward quickly.

The group walked down a full hundred meters in height before they stepped on solid ground and entered the magnificent stone city.

Two middle-aged male soldiers stepped forward; judging by their age, they were probably in their mid-forties.

Among them, the leading soldier said: "My name is Li Ming, a Dust Shadow believer, first stage of the River Estuary Realm.

This is Li Xin, a Green Parasol believer, second stage of the River Estuary Realm.

For this training mission, the two of us will accompany you throughout."

Lu Ran looked at the two's quite similar faces and muttered in his heart.

These two should be brothers, both River Estuary Realm powerhouses.

Among them, there is actually a Dust Shadow believer?

You must know that Dust Shadow believers willing to enter the world have strategic value; they are all treasures!

The military of this Demon Cave actually sent such people out to be guides for their side?

Lu Ran vaguely sensed that this seemed to be special care from the military.

After all, when he went to the Night Charm Demon Cave for training before, there was only one Green Parasol believer leading the team.

Chen Jingjing spoke indifferently, introducing herself: "Jian Yi believer, River Estuary Realm, Chen Jingjing."

For some reason, Chen Jingjing didn't say her specific strength level.

However, the words "River Estuary Realm" were enough.

Chen Jingjing gestured to the side: "These three are the trainees."

Lu Ran and the others immediately introduced themselves.

"I recognize you," Li Ming's gaze fell on Lu Ran.

"Sorry to trouble you both," Lu Ran was very humble.

What Li Ming said truly exceeded Lu Ran's expectations: "This is our honor."

On the side, Si Xianxian nodded secretly.

Sensible!

Being able to lead the Da Xia Heaven's Pride in training and protect Lu Ran's life safety is of course an honor!

The brothers distributed lighting and communication equipment to everyone, and then led the team toward the east gate of the stone city.

Along the way, Li Ming emphasized discipline repeatedly; even if Lu Ran was a Heaven's Pride, he could not violate it in the slightest.

Otherwise, the group would be directly invited out of the Demon Cave.

Lu Ran naturally nodded repeatedly; at the same time, his confidence was even greater.

There is a Dust Shadow believer in the team, so everyone's life safety will naturally have a great guarantee!

That pitch-black flower of the other shore can lead everyone to run away and escape the battlefield at any time.

It's simply a BUG!

The group walked out of the east gate and saw a few scattered torches, stretching to the entrance of the mountain forest.

"Our destination for this trip is Rouge Village," Li Ming walked at the back of the team. "Everyone just follow the torches."

"Rouge Village?" Lu Ran couldn't help but be curious.

"Yes," Li Ming introduced. "In the Demon Cave, the terrain is relatively simple; once an abnormal environment appears, it can always attract the attention of evil demons.

Over the years, our side has also accumulated some experience, discovering that the Lady Lady Yanzhi clan has a soft spot for desolate villages and ancient houses.

Therefore, our side has built many villages and constructed many houses in the mountain forest."

Lu Ran's heart moved: "Just like the Night Charm clan, who like lake water? Always gathering by the lake?"

"Something like that," Li Ming nodded. "Our soldiers will regularly patrol each Rouge Village to clear out the demons inside.

The one we are going to now is the Rouge Village closest to our main city."

Good heavens~

He held a pair of black ice blades in his hands, moving silently through the waterfall of red threads.

Building a lake directly, or destroying a piece of mountain forest and creating an abnormal environment, should be more trouble-free?"

Li Ming shook his head: "Abnormal terrain will indeed attract the attention of evil demons, but it won't let the Lady Lady Yanzhi clan stay for a long time.

Most of them just take a look and leave.

Desolate villages and ancient houses are different."

Lu Ran was stunned, turning to look at the male soldier: "What do you mean, Lady Lady Yanzhi People can live inside?"

Li Ming nodded: "Very likely.

Even a small number of Lady Lady Yanzhi People will fight and kill each other because of the ownership of the ancient house."

Lu Ran:???

Jiang Ruyi and Si Xianxian looked at each other; today they learned new knowledge.

It's not strange for demons to kill each other.

After all, they are all cruel and tyrannical, so who would indulge whom?

However, demons of the same clan basically do not turn their swords against each other.

The fundamental reason is that these demon minions are produced from the same demon statue.

And on the night of the fifteenth, demons of different races don't really kill each other either.

Humans are the fat meat in their eyes; with such extreme temptation, how would the demons have time to pay attention to their colleagues?

What's more, the instruction to collect the terrified emotions of humans is engraved in the bones of the demons.

Jiang Ruyi suddenly spoke: "Since the Lady Lady Yanzhi clan favors ancient houses, can't we build such places in our cities?"

The girl's meaning was very clear; people should reasonably utilize this characteristic of the Lady Lady Yanzhi People.

Every night of the fifteenth, attract the Lady Lady Yanzhi clan to the ancient house side, instead of causing chaos in the city.

Li Ming was very willing to answer questions for this group of young people: "Our world can be considered a bustling world, different from this Demon Cave with its boring and simple environment.

Moreover, Lady Lady Yanzhi People are essentially demons.

Once they appear in the city, their eyes are all on humans, and they won't pay attention to any ancient houses."

Jiang Ruyi nodded silently.

Thinking about it, in the human world, are there few ancient house buildings?

If this type of building had such a great attraction to the Lady Lady Yanzhi clan, Da Xia would have promoted it long ago.

"Sister Jingjing," Lu Ran called out.

Chen Jingjing turned her head, only to see Lu Ran nodding with a smile: "The three of us are training; you just stay at the back of the team, no need to open the way for us."

"Yes." Chen Jingjing immediately stepped back.

She is clearly a noble and cold Jian Yi disciple, and a dignified River Estuary Realm powerhouse, but she is so obedient.

Si Xianxian saw this scene and clicked her tongue in wonder:

"Only today did I discover that Lu Ran is a young master."

Lu Ran strode forward, saying unhappily: "Right, you, the maid, walk safely at the back.

I, the young master, will be your meat shield, pulling aggro, and opening the way in front!"

"Hahahaha~" Si Xianxian couldn't help but laugh out loud, joking: "Thank you, Young Master!"

"Rebellious!" Lu Ran muttered, plunging into the mountain forest.

As Si Xianxian's laughter subsided, the mountain forest fell into dead silence again.

Only the night wind blew through the mountain forest, bringing the rustling sound of leaves, which was even more creepy.

Lu Ran raised his hand above his shoulder, pulled out the Silence Zhan Ye Dao, his spirit tense, and walked along the small path in the forest.

After walking for a long time, Lu Ran suddenly found that the front was wide open.

He walked a few steps quickly, and just before walking out of the mountain forest, his eyes condensed slightly.

Desolate village?

Looking from afar, the scale was not small.

In the night sky, the bright moon was clear, putting a layer of cold radiance on the houses, large or small.

At the entrance of the village, there was also a huge stone placed.

On it were written three blood-red characters—Rouge Village.

"Whoa~" Lu Ran looked at the blood-red characters, truly having his horizons broadened.

Behind, the group quickly walked out of the mountain forest.

Li Ming looked at the quiet Rouge Village under the moonlight and spoke at the right time: "Our side just had troops clean up this place.

We can go into the village to patrol, familiarize ourselves with the terrain, and then set an ambush to wait for the Lady Lady Yanzhi People to throw themselves into the net."

Lu Ran suddenly said: "There are people."

Li Ming: "What?"

Lu Ran walked into the village, leaving everyone with his back, secretly sniffing his nose, and said softly:

"Lady Lady Yanzhi People."

Li Ming and Li Xin looked at each other, and Chen Jingjing also raised her eyebrows slightly.

Under the moonlight, Rouge Village was dead silent, and everyone didn't even sense half a trace of energy fluctuation.

Lu Ran, however, told everyone at the entrance of the village that there were Lady Lady Yanzhi People in the village?

You...

Yes, you are Heaven's Pride.

We also know that you are incredibly strong, ranking seventh in Da Xia.

But aren't you a bit too weird?
