Somewhere deep in the Zixiao Mountains.

Under the tacit siege of a group of warriors, the three ferocious beasts in the Hundred Octopus realm issued a last roar full of unwillingness, and none of them were spared to be killed.

As for the ferocious beast cubs, they became the spoils of warriors.

On a small hill not far away, Hou Mingjie, a martial artist in Tongxuan Realm, watched all this calmly. When the group of warriors entered the final stage, he recorded some content in a small notebook.

The early reconnaissance mission of the abnormal movement of the Zixiao Mountains is also a kind of experience. It specially gathers a large group of warriors in the Hundred Ochi Realm to help them form a tacit cooperation while collecting relevant information.

Once you encounter a beast tide, you will definitely exert the combat power of one plus one far greater than two.

This is a routine and a proven method of coping.

Because the leader of this team is Hou Mingjie, Zhao Ritian was naturally elected as the deputy captain by other warriors and had the power of wartime command, which is also a hidden rule.

In the previous preliminary investigation tasks, when the top ten sects participated, the deputy captains of these ten teams were directly designated as people from the top ten sects by the team leader. Of course, their own people trusted themselves the most, and over time, this default rule was formed.

Although the deputy captain is only temporary, the impact is definitely not small, especially for personal prestige, which is of great help.

Even after every abnormal movement of the Zixiao Mountains, there will be alliances of one kind or another.

If one side is in trouble, all sides will support it. What a vast network of relationships!

Hou Mingjie was able to have his current status in the Zixiao Mountains because of this unwritten rule that he formed a representative of other family forces except the top ten sects and officials today.

It is obvious that Zhao Ritian is the key target of Hou Mingjie's training. In the future, he will inherit the old man's status and lead the twelfth major force in the Zixiao Mountains.

Zhao Ritian also performed extraordinaryly along the way. He did not participate in the post-war division of interests, and completely gave out his share. He seemed a bit pretentious, but he could easily gain the favor of the team members.

After all, he has such a powerful grandfather as his backer. Whatever he wants is just a matter of saying a word. Is it necessary to fight with these people?

Therefore, when other warriors divide their interests, Zhao Ritian will come to talk to Hou Mingjie.

"Grandpa, we are coming soon?" Compared to the gains along the way, Zhao Ritian cared more about the progress of the mission.

After all, there was another bet on him, and no matter what, he didn't want to run around the Zixiao Mountains naked for three laps.

A lifetime of heroic reputation is lost!

Once you lose, you will definitely be pointed at by others when you go out by yourself.

Look, that guy ran around the Zixiao Mountains three times with his bare butt!

True or fake, why do you have to have a naked butt?

I lost the bet...

As soon as he thought of this possible scene, Zhao Ritian felt a little nervous. He originally wanted to humiliate Hua Wuque, but who knew that the other party was so crazy.

"In less than an hour, you can see the big tree at the end!" It was obviously not the first time Hou Mingjie came. Looking at his grandson with a worried look on his face, he couldn't help but frown and said comfortably.

"Ri Tian, ​​please relax. You should know that this time I used my grandfather's secret route, which was nearly half shorter than the normal route. Although Zhou Zhengqi must have a secret route, the winner is destined from the beginning of entering the Zixiao Mountains!"

"Grandpa, what do you mean?" Zhao Ritian participated in this mission for the first time. He didn't know about it and asked curiously immediately.

"The Zixiao Mountains are very large, but the entire terrain is narrow and long, which means that the distance between the core area and all directions is completely different."

"Do you know why there is a Wanggui tree outside as the starting point, and there is an almost exactly the same name as the Wanggui tree inside as the end point?"

"Is it the shortest distance between Wanghui Tree and Wanghui Tree entering the core area of ​​Zixiao Mountains from outside?" Zhao Ritian was not only not stupid, but was very smart, and he could see through it at a glance. The previous sad look on his face gradually dissipated with the wind, revealing a hint of joy.

"good!"

Hou Mingjie obviously had absolute confidence in his plan and said heroically.

"We were originally taking the shortest distance. With the route specially selected by my grandfather, we bypassed the territory of some difficult beasts along the way. We only ate the relatively easy nest of ferocious beasts. It took almost ten days to complete the usual journey in less than five days. How can Hua Wuque win?"

"People often say that there is an old man in the family, like a treasure. Grandpa, it's amazing!" Zhao Ritian felt more and more confident in winning. He gave Hou Mingjie two thumbs up and said excitedly.

"Okay, hurry up and leave!"

After hearing the grandson's praise, Hou Mingjie was naturally in a good mood, but after all, he still needed the majesty of his elders. He nodded and stood up to continue moving forward.

"Don't be too happy too early for the time being. It's not too late to be happy when you really win."

"Haha, with my grandfather here, it's hard for me to lose."

After cleaning the battlefield, listening to the roar of ferocious beasts coming from afar, it was obvious that they smelled blood. In order to avoid unnecessary battles, Hou Mingjie led the team to move towards the finish line again.

An hour later, they came to a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers. A mountain stream that was about ten meters wide was like nine curves and eighteen bends, with the core of the Zixiao Mountains as the source and flowing to the distance.

This is Zixi, which almost crosses most of the Zixia Mountains. It is a place for ferocious beasts to drink water, and it is also a place for rest and water sources that warriors focus on.

From a distance, Hou Mingjie's team could vaguely hear the soft singing.

Come with me and set off now

Dreams have woken up, my heart will not be afraid

There is a place, that is the Zixiao Mountains

It is near the heart, but far away from the world

...

Following the song, Hou Mingjie and his group saw a stationed man on the edge of a bend in Zixi.

The singing was hummed by one of the people who were dealing with the flesh of a ferocious beast. Many people around him were also echoing, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious and joyful.

As soon as he saw this group of people, Zhao Ritian's face changed drastically, and his whole expression was as hard as if he had eaten a feces.

Because he recognized these people, they were the ones who were left after entering the Zixiao Mountains.

How could they be here?

This is not true!

This must not be true!

I must be dreaming, it must be like this, it must be like this...

Just when Zhao Ritian was in chaos under the huge impact, one of the people in his team obviously saw an acquaintance and immediately greeted him in surprise.

"Damn, Zhang San and Li Si, why are you here?"

"Oh, isn't this Wang Wu? It's better to come early than to come by chance. The beast meat that just roasted, come quickly!"

It was confirmed that it was another team, and Hou Mingjie and his men were even more shocked. They rushed forward all the way, but they didn't expect it to be too late.

Compared to the shock and surprise of others, Hou Mingjie was obviously much more realistic. He quickly glanced at him and did not see the two figures, so he asked seriously.

"When did you arrive?"

"Reply to Mr. Hou, we have arrived here two days ago."

What?

It was actually two full days faster than us, how could this be possible!
Chapter completed!
