The first thing you hear when you walk out of the teleportation circle buried deep in the belly of the mountain is the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks, and the sea breeze blows in your face, bringing a salty taste.

It is a hidden cave that hangs high on a steep cliff and beneath the ocean. Liu Qinghuan's divine sense was all unfolded, and he was sure that there was no one else around except for their group.

There were two applause from behind him, and one said, "Fellow Daoists, let's discuss the next steps first." ”

Liu Qinghuan turned around, remembering that the person had introduced himself as Jiang Xianxian before, and he was a monk sent by the Immortal Cultivation Alliance to lead this mission.

Everyone gathered according to the words, Jiang Xianxian had already picked up a stone casually, drew a simple map on the ground of the cave, and at the same time began to arrange it in a concise tone.

"We're here now, and this is the last place where the Nightmare Butterfly was seen. There were 12 of us, so we divided into two and two groups and headed for Xiangmian Mountain. ”

"Why do you want to divide the team?" someone disagreed: "Just kill them together, quickly find those nightmare butterflies and destroy them in one fell swoop." ”

"Yes, it's quite far from Xiangmian Mountain here, will the detachment be unsafe? Moreover, it was already the night before yesterday that Nightmare Butterfly appeared in Xiangmian Mountain, and we will rush over now, and the other party will probably not lose a single hair. ”

Jiang Xianxian didn't say a word before being interrupted and didn't get annoyed, and looked behind him with a light smile: "Now many teleportation circles leading to the Eastern Wasteland have been closed, and the place we are in now is one of the magic circles built by the alliance just in case, and it is also the closest one to Xiangmian Mountain." ”

Someone chimed in: "Jiang Daoyou is right, now that it is an eventful season, it would be good to have this teleportation circle for us to use." ”

Jiang Xianxian said again: "In addition, the alliance did not only send us people to kill the Nightmare Butterfly, but also contacted the nearest monks. It's just that everyone knows that the demon insect is extremely difficult to kill, and ordinary spells can't hurt it, only the divine sense attack technique has some effect. And the reason why you were selected to carry out this mission should all have cultivated your divine sense, or have some special attack methods, right?"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke, and they all acquiesced.

"So, don't be afraid that nightmare butterfly to run, there are people in front of you who are also tracking and will pass on the news. Naturally, we can't wait where we are, we can go to Xiangmian Mountain to understand the situation first, and if there is a new situation, we can rush over it quickly. As for why they split up......

He drew a few more lines on the ground: "Go forward, you have to pass through a large stronghold of the Yin Moon Blood Realm, and it is easy for so many of us to attract attention......"

The man who spoke at the beginning said again: "Hey, isn't that right? There are so many of us, just pull out that stronghold!"

Jiang Xianxian scolded with a smile and kicked at the man: "Xue nerd, your illness is done again, right? ”

The man dodged and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you say, you say! ”

Jiang Xianxian returned to his seriousness and continued: "The focus of our trip is to kill the demon butterfly, so it's best not to make extraneous branches. And two people together, they also have a care for each other, if they encounter a nightmare butterfly, one of them is tricked, and the other person can also remind them. ”

Seeing that no one had any more opinions, he drew a line on the ground again: "Nightmare butterflies are nocturnal and can fully integrate themselves into the surrounding environment, less than a certain number, and will not easily divide into groups. The alliance has analyzed Nightmare Butterfly's forward path, and although it is hidden, it is generally going around this line. So if we spread out, we can find them faster, and remember, don't rush to the ground when we find them, and notify the others to rush over first. It's best to be able to rape the Nightmare Butterfly in one fell swoop and nip the butterfly plague in the bud!"

After that, they formed their own teams, Liu Qinghuan had not been in Yunmengze for a long time, and none of the people present knew him, but he received a lot of warm invitations.

First, the news about the Netherworld and the Underworld Battle Domain spread throughout the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and later refined the Xuanjie Shouyuan Dan, so Liu Qinghuan is now in Yunmengze, and he can be regarded as having a great reputation.

It's just that he is very low-key, and after he comes back, he almost stays at home like everyone else, so people can't make friends if they want to. Now that the great opportunity is in front of them, these people naturally refuse to let go, even if they are familiar.

Liu Qinghuan smiled on his face, but he was extremely speechless in his heart, it seemed that he still underestimated the popularity of a Xuan-level alchemy master.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Jiang Xianxian pulled away the people around him: "You are all one by one, you are also Yuanying Zhenjun, what about your demeanor? What about cultivation? No one can fight, Liu Daoyou will follow me all the way!"

Others wanted to protest, but Liu Qinghuan had already nodded and had no choice but to give up. However, these people have either known each other before, and even if they are not familiar, they have met, and they have finalized their peers in a few words.

After an episode, everyone set off one after another, and after a while, they disappeared.

Liu Qinghuan summoned the gray donkey, patted its head, and exchanged a handful of spirit beans for the next riding permit.

After Jiang Xianxian properly concealed this teleportation circle again, he turned around and saw him riding on a donkey, and immediately couldn't help laughing.

"Poof! Liu Daoyou's spirit beast is so chic. Yes, yes, it is not uncommon for people to ride cranes and horses in the immortal cultivation world, but few people ride donkeys. This donkey is so good, but it is called Liu Daoyou, you are more and more immortal!"

As he spoke, he gave a big thumbs up.

Liu Qinghuan smiled dryly: "Where, where, it's just to use it as a substitute for transportation, and it takes less effort." ”

When the gray donkey heard this, he immediately snorted in protest, but fortunately it was busy chewing the spirit bean that couldn't chew it, and it didn't have time to talk to him.

Jiang Xianxian noticed what was in its mouth at this time, and smiled with some shock: "King Kong Bean! Is its food actually such an elixir...... This and this! The gold is so expensive, and it is indeed a god donkey......"

Liu Qinghuan said: "Daoist friends think too much, so I will treat it occasionally, otherwise I can't afford it." ”

He smiled on his face, but tears flowed in his heart, and he couldn't help but secretly pat the donkey's buttocks: Stupid donkey! Eat my elixir in a basket, and if you don't give me a good mount, you will kill and eat meat!

"Jiang Daoyou, if you have time to talk about it later, let's set off. ”

Jiang Xianxian responded with a hello, summoned a flying sword, and the two of them rushed to Xiangmian Mountain at a gallop.

Soon, Liu Qinghuan discovered that the Eastern Wasteland had changed greatly, and the land that was deserted in the past was now full of people.

The resources on the Eastern Wasteland are no less than those of Yunmengze, because the two are originally a continent. Before the spatial rift in the Qu Yan Swamp appeared, Yun Mengze adopted a strategy of clearing the wilderness with strong walls on this land. Later, he couldn't take care of it, so he slowly let go of his control, and only held some large spirit ore veins and secret realm relics firmly in his hands.

Therefore, the forces and monks of the original Dongya Relic Island have almost all moved to the Eastern Wasteland, and with their steady and steady efforts, they have firmly occupied a large area in the east.

Later, when the Howling Wind Continent was occupied, the monks there also moved to the Eastern Wasteland, and used blood and sweat to build a number of sect stations or battle forts, uniting the three continents, and once pressed the Lunar Moon Blood Realm back into the Thousand Pages Mountain.

When he heard that he returned to the realm and brought people back to the Howling Wind Continent, he did not give up all the territory here.

The Lunar Moon Blood Realm occupies a southern area centered on the Thousand Pages Mountains and the Yantang Mountains, and as for the once rock-solid Yantang Castle, it activated the self-destruction circle in a tragic battle, and completely turned into a pile of ruins.

Liu Qinghuan looked at this series of changes, and couldn't help but feel the vicissitudes of life.

He chatted with Jiang Xianxian casually, and suddenly said, "How far is this from the Beimang Mountain Range?"

"The Beimang Mountains, that's in the far north, it's far away. Yoo Daoyou has something to go there?"

Liu Qinghuan nodded: "It's a bit of a matter, but it's not in a hurry, let's talk about it after the demon butterfly is killed." ”

To go to the Beimang Mountains, it is natural to enter the treasure washing pond again.

The last layer of filth on the Tainan Immortal Sword was stubborn, so that the sword lost its brilliance and the pearl was covered with dust, and only the treasure washing pool could be washed away.

At this time, Jiang Xianxian suddenly let out a startled sigh, and his figure suddenly stopped.

"Liu Daoyou, do you think there's something wrong with that place below?"

Liu Qinghuan stopped and looked down.

Through the clouds, I saw a human structure on the ground below, the size of a small town. What makes people feel abnormal is that on this sunny day, there is no figure walking around on several streets in the town, like a dead land.

The two glanced at each other, saw solemnity in each other's eyes, and thought of some possibility.

Liu Qinghuan said: "Since we have met, let's go down and have a look, it seems that this place is not far from Xiangmian Mountain." ”

Jiang Xianxian pinched a trick, and a layer of Haojie sword qi protected the whole body: "I don't know if there will be nightmare butterflies in that town, Liu Daoyou should also do some protection." ”

Liu Qinghuan thought about it, then took the gray donkey back to the spirit beast bag, and a cyan light floated on his body.

The two landed on the empty street below, and walked forward on their guard. I saw that the doors and windows on both sides were opened, and the house was empty, and there was not a living person to be seen.

The box opened on the counter contained an ordinary spiritual artifact, as if the shopkeeper had been standing behind him a moment ago, negotiating a deal with a customer, and on the corner table was a cup of tea, with only half of the tea left in the cup, as if waiting for the owner to come back and drink it again.

I walked through several shops in a row, and this was the case.

Jiang Xianxian touched the wall of the cup and looked at the tea again: "Look at the color of this residual tea, it should have been left for more than half a day after brewing, and the water was gone." ”

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Liu Qinghuan turning over the table, and then took out a few spirit stones and a storage bag from it.

"Uh......"

Jiang Xianxian was speechless, this wouldn't be thinking about collecting money at such a time......

Liu Qinghuan glanced at him amusedly, opened the storage bag and checked the contents inside, and said: "They are all low-level spiritual weapons and ordinary spiritual objects, and it can be seen that this town should be occupied by some Qi cultivation and foundation building monks on weekdays, and maybe there are one or two Jindan." ”

He casually threw the storage bag on the counter, walked to the side, and picked up a carefully placed spiritual artifact on the shelf: "The person is gone, but the property has not been touched." If the town was indeed visited by Nightmare Butterfly, it only means that the person controlling Nightmare Butterfly either didn't like it at all, or his purpose was not to make money. ”

Jiang Xianxian thought for a moment: "Hmm, it's a bit unusual. Those monks from other worlds came to our realm with the purpose of plundering, and they have always been eager to scrape the ground and not let go of anything. ”

He slept on his lips and said, "Why does Liu Daoyou think that the Nightmare Butterfly is controlled by people? I remember that this kind of demon insect can't be tamed into a spirit worm." Isn't it more likely that the people of the Lunar Moon Blood Realm found the Nightmare Butterfly out of nowhere and deliberately threw it in the Eastern Wasteland?"

Liu Qinghuan looked at him in surprise: "You, or other people think so, is the fall of Lansha Island an attack controlled by someone?"

"It's also possible that those people released the Nightmare Butterfly near Blue Sand Island and left. Jiang Xianxian said: "If someone can drive the Nightmare Butterfly, it will be too terrifying!"

Liu Qinghuan said: "The Yin Moon Blood Realm family is prevalent, inheriting the bloodline of all kinds of strange demon beasts, among which it is not surprising if there is a family that inherits the bloodline of the Nightmare Butterfly. ”

Jiang Xianxian's jaw fell to the ground: "No, even insects can get their mouths...... My imagination is so barren!"

Liu Qinghuan couldn't help laughing, walked outside the store with his feet up, and pulled the topic back to the right path: "What's even more unusual is that not only is there not a single person in this town, but not even a corpse has been seen. ”

The town is not big, and the two of them quickly searched for more than half of it, Jiang Xianxian's face became more and more heavy, and he became more and more confused.

"Why? If it's a Nightmare Butterfly attack, at least it will leave a corpse, right? I've never heard of that kind of demon worm eating corpses...... But if it weren't for the Nightmare Butterfly, there would be no trace of the town's protective circle being forcibly breached, so where would the corpses go? Could it be that the person who controlled the demon insect took it away?"

He suddenly thought of a possibility, feeling bad from head to toe, and then a strong anger rushed into his heart!

"Nightmare Butterflies can control the people who sink into the dream realm, they won't take them all away and use them for ourselves later!"

Liu Qinghuan's face was not very good, he only shook his head and did not answer, and entered a small courtyard again.

"Come in, there's a corpse inside. ”

Jiang Xianxian suppressed his anger, and sure enough, he saw a stiff corpse falling not far from the bed in a crawling position.

The two of them just looked at each other, and they knew why the corpse had not disappeared with the others, because the corpse's legs were broken, and there were several deep wounds on the body, and the wounds were bandaged and cared for, so the person was seriously injured before he died.

Yet even so, he was still driven to crawl out......

Liu Qinghuan frowned, waved his sleeves, and put the body back on the bed.

This flat place completely exposed the other party's face. It's just that he obviously has the appearance of a rough man, but his exposed skin is not as pale and dull as ordinary dead corpses, but has a pink red like a baby. Moreover, the corners of his mouth curved upwards and pulled out an arc of laughter, as if he was immersed in a sweet dream.

Liu and the two only glanced at it, even with their experience and courage, they still felt that their scalps were numb!

The smile on the corpse's face was extremely cunning! It was as if in a nightmare that could not be woken up, and the evil spirits that appeared behind everyone were both terrifying and inescapable, making people shudder!
