Jiang Xiaowen invited Du Tao to take charge, but in the end he lost all Wang Chao and Jinshi's belongings, which made Du Tao lose some blood on his own. Jiang Xiaowen was disappointed. Seeing the other party's smug appearance after winning the Soul Gem, she couldn't help but scold Du Tao for a few words. Du Tao just smiled embarrassedly and let Jiang Xiaowen blame him, but did not make any refutation.

Xiao Yu seemed to have known this result for a long time. Who is Du Tao? Perhaps in the current environment, with only a small team of more than 100 people, Du Tao's value cannot be fully reflected, but in the future, he will definitely become a rare talent. Compared with Zhang Liang in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, Xiao He's first-class figure. That is, he can become a strategist who is planning to win thousands of miles away like Zhang Liang, or an internal affairs genius like Xiao He, who can manage the team in an orderly manner and flourish in a complex world.

Du Tao is very friendly and looks very ordinary, but in fact he is a completely fox-like figure. He is also a warrior with intellectual strength and his strength is not inferior to the other party, so he loses so badly, which is largely intentional. Because Du Tao can see at a glance that the potential of Zhao Changping's team is not a vegetarian. Among the people who participate in gambling, including several main characters in the elite group, Du Tao lost to them to some soul gems to win the favor of several people in exchange for the friendship of the elite group. This is a very cost-effective deal.

Wang Chao and Jinshi didn’t have so many thoughts or thoughts, they just beat their chests and stamped their feet, with annoyance and regret on their faces.

As night gradually approaches, everyone disperses and rests after having a meal, because this place is located in the most dangerous edge of the forest, and no one dares to be careless at night. The number of people watching the night has doubled to avoid accidents.

The next morning, Yun Yun's injuries recovered, and everyone packed up their things and embarked on the way forward.

Last night, they were laughing and playing, but they disappeared. Wang Chao and Jinshi each led their teams to advance seriously and open the way, responsible for cleaning up the monsters they encountered on the way. Zhao Changping's elite 100-person group also assisted in clearing the road. Because they were getting closer and closer to the mountains, the frequency of monsters they encountered on the way was very high, and most of them were powerful early-level monsters.

After a full half-day journey, everyone finally walked out of the forest and entered a land of mountains, which were rolling mountains.

There are many peaks, most of which are towering into the clouds, and there are mountains everywhere. The mountain walls on all sides are close to 90 degrees, which are extremely steep. You can only look up and cannot climb. In the end, you have to choose to bypass it.

The formation of the next few days.

Hundreds of people went deep into the mountains and forests, crossed mountains dozens of miles, climbed steep cliffs hundreds of meters high, crossed the river and wade through the mountain streams, and encountered many more powerful and strange monsters than the forest areas. In the vast mountainous areas, they first saw the magical skills of nature, and were ever-changing.

…………

On the fourth day, Xiao Yu and his party entered a valley in a dusty manner.

There are mountains around it, and a basin with a relatively low-lying terrain in the middle is densely trees and growing vigorously, looking vibrant.

Xiao Yu's hair was messy, his armor was worn seriously. He held a green-light beast-shaking knife in his hand, chopped off a thorny bush, wiped off a handful of sweat from his face, and waved his hand to insert the sword into the ground under his feet.

"Stop!"

Zhao Changping walked from behind, with several wounds on his face, and almost a layer of skin on his left cheek was worn off, but the blood had already solidified and had scabbed at this moment. His short hair was also messy, and his temples were gray, but he had less majestic temperament and more embarrassment.

Zhao Changping asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yu replied: "There is something wrong with this valley!"

When Zhao Changping heard this, his expression immediately became serious. He obviously had discovered the problem. "Indeed, we have been away for so long and have not encountered any trouble. This forest is a little calmer."

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes and looked around and said, "It's not just calm, it's simply dead silent. I haven't even heard the birds' screams now."

Wang Chao walked out of the woods with his big belly and shouted: "Boss, why can't I stop? Is it time to start dinner? Fatty's belly is almost hungry!"

Han Kexin came up and asked, "Xiao Yu, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yu waved his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead, pulled up the sword on the ground and said to the others: "If you are tired from walking, let's rest on the spot for a while."

Of course, Zhao Changping had no objection and ordered the people around him, "Let everyone rest on the spot." Then, he found two capable confidants, "Gao Yin, Chen Long, you can take a few people nearby to investigate and see if there is anything abnormal."

"yes!"

The two confidants responded loudly with their waists straight.

Zhao Changping nodded, "Go and go back quickly, be careful."

The two selected a few capable personnel from the elite 100-person group, and the few quickly sneaked into the woods and went to investigate.

Zhao Changping himself was a scout and his men were of high quality. If they came to investigate, Xiao Yu could feel at ease.

After several people in charge of the survey left, hundreds of people stopped their steps to move forward, found a relatively spacious place nearby to sit down and rest, and the weapons were placed beside them, almost indefinitely. They began to river water, eat food, or use soul gems to restore their mental power, repair equipment, close their eyes and rest, and apply venom to the weapon.

Everything was silent and we had already developed a tacit understanding between each other, and everyone knew when to do what.

Zhao Changping took a kettle from his waist and took it into his last bite, then said to Xiao Yu: "The mountains are too difficult to walk on, the itinerary is slower than I thought. Our food is not enough, it is probably enough to eat for two days."

Xiao Yu said: "I still have a lot of food in my garbha ring, and I should have enough food. As for the itinerary, there is nothing I can do about it. The mountain terrain is too complicated, so it would be great if we can not spare the circle."

Zhao Changping laughed and raised the kettle in his hand, "Do you want to have a mouthful?"

Xiao Yu smelled a smell of alcohol, took the kettle and took a sip. The wine tasted mellow and pure, and it should be a very high-end wine. Xiao Yu's alcohol content was very good, but in the wild, he had the habit of drinking, on the one hand because the wine would affect people's reaction speed, and on the other hand, the wine smell was too strong, which might attract the attention of monsters.

He drank a sip of wine and handed it back to Zhao Changping.

After about half an hour, the people sent out to investigate came back.

Zhao Changping asked: "What's the situation?"

The man named Gao Yin replied: "Old company commander, my brothers and I investigated a considerable area. Everything is normal. Even normal is a little abnormal."

Zhao Changping frowned, "What do you say?"

"There are almost no traces of monsters found in this area, and even excrement or remains are not found, which means that there have been no monsters in the nearby area for a long time."

Zhao Changping pondered for a moment, "It's really suspicious." He turned his head and looked at Xiao Yu, "What do you think?"

Xiao Yu shook his head, "It's hard to say. Generally speaking, there are very few monsters in an area, because there is an extremely powerful monster in the place, or other suspicious things that threaten their existence."

Zhao Changping: "We have no choice. If we give up this path, we may have to go around this area ten times or even longer. It is easy to get into too many variables for such a long time, and it is difficult to guarantee that we will not encounter other dangers. No matter what, we have to go on."

Xiao Yu agreed with his point of view.

Since you come to this world, danger is just a common occurrence. Once the journey is lengthened, the longer it takes, the more dangers you encounter. It is better to go head-on than this!

After resting, everyone set off again.

Hundreds of people cut through thorns and crossed the dense jungle. While vigilant about movements around them, they also had to beware of whether there were poisonous insects and weeds around them so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. However, it is puzzled that they walked until late at night, and they didn't even see a hair in the woods, let alone monsters.

There is something weird in the valley!

This time, let alone Xiao Yu and Zhao Changping, as long as you are not a fool, you can find the abnormality.

It's dark.

Hundreds of people found a relatively flat open space, cut off the surrounding trees, raised a bonfire, set up a tent to rest on the spot. The first problem to face was that I did not encounter any monsters all day, so I did not add any food. Everyone could only take out the food and pick some wild fruits nearby, so they could eat and drink enough.

Xiao Yu immediately rested after eating. He and Zhao Changping guarded the front in the middle of the night and the other guarded the back in the middle of the night.

There was almost no sound that night, and there was a dead silence.

After sleeping for about four hours, Xiao Yu was woken up.

Xiao Yu got up and looked around, and was surprised to find that there was a thick layer of fog in the woods at some point.

Is the mountain fog?

Xiao Yu thought that fog was easy to accumulate in the valley terrain, so he didn't care too much. One person was ready to dawn in the morning, but the fog around him became richer and richer. When it was completely dawn, the entire valley was shrouded in thick fog.

There was a vast white sky in front of me.

Things five meters away can hardly be seen.

Jiang Xiaowen was shocked after waking up, "What's going on? It's foggy!"

Wang Chao glanced at his hand and shouted strangely: "Oh, damn, how can you go with such a big fog?"

Zhao Changping said: "We must leave, there is not much food reserve."

Xiao Yu nodded and said to the others: "It's just a little fog, at most it can interfere with your vision, and it's no big deal. Get closer, don't be too dispersed, let's set off."

Everyone immediately lined up in two long lines and began to move towards the forest.

The thick fog brings great interference to the progress, and it is difficult to maintain half of the speed under normal circumstances.

After walking for about an hour, suddenly a clearing land appeared in front of me. The surrounding trees showed signs of being cut down and the cut was still very new, obviously not long after. When everyone was confused, they suddenly saw many signs of bonfires on the ground, some leftover fruit peels and cores around them, and even a few candies or chocolate packaging could be seen.

"Hey, isn't this the place we spent the night yesterday?"

"This tree was clearly cut off by me."

"Why are we going forward inexplicably, why are we going back to our original place inexplicably?"
