Unlike the team led by Ye Qin, who easily passed through the forest area, the team led by Qian Bojiang encountered many monsters after entering the forest. It was Qian, Yang and other five monks who walked in front and attracted the attention of many monsters in the forest, which made Ye Qin, Sun Shi and others not meet many monsters along the way.

Qian Bojiang, Yang Zhen and five other Qingdan monks had never expected that there were so many monsters in the forest. They accidentally broke into the nest of a black-bellied demon snake, causing a furious furious group of black-bellied demon snakes to escape and kill, killing more than ten third- and fourth-level black-bellied demon snakes in one breath. Then they rushed out of the forest area in a mess and got rid of the pursuit of the demon snake group.

Escape from the tight and dark forest made them feel relieved. When they turned around and looked at the dark forest, they were still scared.

This is already a swamp. Although there is a faint mist everywhere, the view is empty and obviously wider. It is not as dark and stuffy as in the forest, and is obscured by the gloomy forests everywhere.

"Senior brother, if you knew there were so many monsters in this forest, you should have acted with Ye, Sun and others. We ten foundation-building monks went to the nest of a few dozen third- and fourth-level monster snakes, which were not afraid of." Yang Zhen came out of the forest and accidentally stepped on a skeleton in the swamp. He felt very unlucky and was depressed to vent his unhappiness.

The other three Qingdan monks were also quite dissatisfied at this time.

They were originally ten foundation-building monks, and even if they encountered danger in the Hanhu Forest, they had enough strength to protect themselves. However, Senior Brother Qian insisted on leaving separately, with half of the people missing, which made them in a mess all the way, and even a medium-sized demon snake nest had to avoid it.

"Hmph, what do you guys know? If you want to get the benefits, you have to do it separately." Qian Bojiang escaped from the forest and snorted coldly. His eyes were cold and he looked at the swamp ahead, as if he was thinking about something.

"Senior brother, do you have any plans?"

Yang Zhen heard that Qian Bojiang seemed to have something in his words and asked hurriedly.

"certainly."

Qian Bojiang nodded, without hiding it, and said sneered, "Those guys hesitated along the way, and had no intention of fighting with the monks of Wanyue Lake. Their cultivation level was low, and it was a burden to be with them. Instead of walking with them, it would be better to use them as bait to attract the attention of the monks of Wanyue Lake.

I used to pretend to be rushing to enter the Hanhu Forest, just to make them mistakenly think that I was eager to make contributions and would definitely rush to the front. They could follow behind with peace of mind to get a bargain.

But am I so stupid? They never expected that we would hide and follow them quietly. When encountering danger, let them take the initiative and wait for an opportunity to get a bargain. If the enemy is too strong, we will retreat and let them in the palace."

"Senior brothers, they are all fellow disciples, so it's not good to use them as shields!"

A monk was very surprised after hearing Qian Bojiang's attention and said hesitantly.

Qian Bojiang immediately glanced at the monk coldly.

The monk suddenly shivered and didn't dare to say anything more. They all met acquaintances very early, and were very familiar with Qian Bojiang's personality. They could do anything ruthlessly. Taking the brothers of the same school as shields can only be considered a minor meaning.

"Hmph, we are all cannon fodders sent by sects to fight in the city. If one is not good, they may all die in this cold lake forest. Remember for me, what we are seeking for is immortality and wealth. What is our life and death related to us? Don't be a bad person. For our safety and to obtain enough military achievements, we must do this in the future. Let's find a hidden place in the nearby swamp to hide it. After their team has passed, we will follow them!"

Qian Bojiang stopped talking nonsense and jumped into the swamp.

The monks looked at each other and agreed to this approach. Although Qian Bojiang's methods were a little ruthless, they were all good for them. For the sake of opposing military achievements, they chose to remain silent.

Under Qian Bojiang's leadership, the group rushed into the swamp and found a place to hide.

......

About half an hour later, there were rotten leaves everywhere, gurgling with pungent and fishy bubbles on the edge of the swamp.

Ye Qin floated from the branches with a flying sword in his hand, and did not find any traces of passing by on the edge of the swamp. He couldn't help but say: "Strange, Brother Qian and the others are walking so fast? Why did they have been chasing for so long but they haven't found their traces of movement? Could it be that they have walked a different fork in the forest?"

This is also a fault for Ye Qin to make a mistake in his judgment.

Qian Bojiang hurried to the Hanhu Forest as soon as he left the city, which gave Ye Qin a wrong impression that Qian Bojiang was eager to make contributions to kill the monks of Wanyue Lake. So he didn't want to think about other aspects, let alone Qian Bojiang started designing and using them as soon as he left the city.

However, Ye Qin had long been used to being cautious.

No matter what Qian Bojiang planned to do, whether to die or kill the enemy, he was careful and unwilling to make any loopholes easily. He never put his hope on these fellow monks who had no friendship. Outside this dangerous Lingwu City, he still had to rely on his own cultivation strength. Others are unreliable, even for fellow disciples.

Ye Qin looked at the swamp filled with poisonous mist in front of him.

Because of the fog, it is impossible to see clearly dozens of feet away. This swamp area reveals a strange feeling, with rotten land everywhere, and various strange aquatic plants. Occasionally, one or two rare spiritual herbs can be found. The swamp area is extremely empty and silent, and there seems to be no movement of any monsters.

But Ye Qin doesn't think there is no danger without monsters here.

He did not go in rashly, but was waiting for several other members of the team.

Soon, Sun Shi came out vigilantly from the forest and flew to Ye Qin's side. Then Shen Bao, Feng Tong, Shi Wenhong and other three people came out of the forest one after another.

The forest was dark and unclear, and they used the method of covering left and right front and back. The two were in front and three were behind the palace to cover each other. Although the speed of traveling was slower, it was the safest. One person was attacked and the other four could support each other at the same time.

"We still haven't found any traces left by Senior Brother Qian and others. We may have lost contact with them. We must be prepared to respond. If we encounter an enemy, we may not be able to support each other in time."

Ye Qin said cautiously to the other four fellow disciples.

Sun Shi, Shen Bao and others didn't care. They had long expected this result...

Ye Qin looked at the swamp, and suddenly his eyes sterned. He saw a broken skeleton floating in the black water in front of the swamp mud. He carefully picked up the skeleton with a dead branch and looked at it.

The Hanhu Forest produces ice spirit stones, wood, water, and ice spirit objects. Many monks who came to take risks have died in hundreds of years. It is normal for skeletons to have on the ground. He has seen several pictures in the forest.

However, this skeleton is a little new, and there is a piece of broken fabric hanging on it, which has not been completely decayed by the sludge of the swamp.

"This skeleton has been dead for about ten days, and there are also marks of the monster's sharp teeth on it. It should have died at the mouth of the ferocious monster. This fabric is very thick... This skeleton is a monk from Wanyue Lake. It seems that our enemy has arrived."

Ye Qin took a small piece of remaining fabric from the skeleton, looked it carefully, and then threw it on the ground.

"Senior Brother Ye, this cloth is very ordinary coarse cloth, and there is no place of origin on it. How do you know that this skeleton is a monk from Wanyue Lake? Do you know what fabric the monk from Wanyue Lake wears?" Chen Bao picked up the rag, thought for a while, and said in surprise.

"If you look at the thickness carefully, it is much thicker than our clothes and fabrics."

Ye Qin smiled faintly.

He didn't know much about fabric, but by comparing his clothes and the brocade clothes worn by monks such as Sun Shi, Chen Bao, etc., it was obvious that the fabric was several times thicker than theirs.

Foundation-building monks are generally not afraid of the cold and do not pay too much attention to clothing materials.

However, places like Wanyue Lake are cold all year round. Low-level monks in the Qi training stage can't stand the cold, so they naturally wear thicker clothes. After they arrive at the foundation building, even if they are not afraid of the cold, they will still keep this habit of thick cloth clothes accustomed to it.

On the contrary, the climate in the spiritual fog cultivation world is mild, and ordinary monks have no habit of wearing thick cloth clothes at all, and the clothes worn by monks are relatively thin.

Ye Qin thought of this just by chance, so he speculated that this skeleton should be a monk from Wanyue Lake, not a monk from Lingwu Cultivator. Of course, this guess is only seven or eight points accurate, and it may be inaccurate. But it doesn't matter. If you walk further, you should soon find more traces of the activities of Wanyue Lake monks.

Sun Shi's expression suddenly became solemn. He was an old cultivator who had been in the Qingdan Sect for hundreds of years, and he had only practiced the fourth level of foundation building. He was a little wary and repulsive of cultivators who were as young as Ye Qin but had a high level of foundation building.

He could see that Ye Qin had a bright future, which was not comparable to that of an old monk like him, so he had no intention of competing with Ye Qin for the team leader. The cautious and carefulness that Ye Qin inadvertently revealed made him a little surprised and awe.

"Junior Brother Ye, according to your speculation, the Han Lake forest should be filled with monks from Wanyue Lake. Moreover, the foundation-building monk cannot die easily, so the one who died here should be a cultivator in the Qi training stage. The cultivator in the Qi training stage only has one function here, that is, collecting ice spirit stones."

Sun Shi said.

"Yes, I guess, the monks of Wanyue Lake have begun to mine in the Hanhu Forest, and many of them are monks in the Qi Training Stage. I just don't know how many of their Foundation Establishment Stage guards are. There shouldn't be too many, otherwise this Qi Training Stage monk would not be accidentally killed by monsters and died in this swamp. We should have the opportunity to destroy their mining."

Ye Qin said seriously.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go over and touch their situation immediately, and maybe we can kill them hard. We can return to the city with contributions and rest for at least several months without having to take the task of killing the enemy."

"Yes, we have ten foundation-building monks, and we will definitely be able to deal with them severely."

Chen Bao, Feng Tong, Shi Wenhong and other monks were all excited.

Although they are not eager to make war achievements, if they don’t pick up any advantage, they will definitely be fools. If the enemy is just a group of Qi training cultivators, their mission will be easy.

Seeing them excited, Ye Qin shook his head and said calmly, "Don't be happy too early. We have just entered the edge of the swamp, which is still far from the Bing Lake mining area. If there are a large group of foundation-building monks from Wanyue Lake on the Bing Lake, we may have a fierce battle. Let's go and see the situation on the Bing Lake first!"

Ye Qin was just about to set off, but his face suddenly changed and he turned around and held the shield and flying sword weapon in his hand.

I saw three or four dim figures of monks walking out in the hazy fog dozens of feet away. They were both men and women. Judging from their outfits, they were mostly wearing plain white colors, and they were all high-level monks in the Qi training stage.

One of the women in white walked out of the fog and carefully picked a spiritual herb lingered by the faint water from the swamp.

"Ha, I found another water mist flower, which has been more than ten years. There are so many water-based spirit herbs in this place, and no one picks up them everywhere, but it is not as hard as Wanyue Lake to find them. Uncle Master said that there are many monsters here, which are very dangerous, and I didn't see any danger."

She looked up and was soon stunned.

Several Wanyue Lake monks behind the woman also saw Ye Qin, Sun Shi, Chen Bao and other five spiritual fog foundation-building cultivators standing silently not far ahead of them, and they couldn't help but look surprised. They didn't expect to meet cultivators from the Spirit Mist Realm here, and five foundation-building cultivators appeared in one breath. Any of the five people would probably be able to kill them like ants.

"There are not many monsters here, but they are indeed very dangerous. Just give me a chance to surrender." Sun Shi approached them with a flying sword, intending to capture the woman alive and question it to see how many monks from Wanyue Lake were in this Hanhu Forest.

"No, run away!"

"Send a signal to ask for help!"

The monks from Wanyue Lake changed their color in horror and hurriedly turned around and ran away. At the same time, with a whoosh, a flying rocket soared into the sky. It was released by one of the alert monks who were behind.

"Bastard, dare you!"

Seeing that they actually sent out signals, Sun Shi failed to stop them in time, he was furious and directly drove the flying sword in his hand to pounce. A golden light flew past without any mercy on the jade. "Puchi", several male and female Qi training monks had not escaped dozens of feet, but their bodies and heads fell to the swamp.

After Sun Shi killed the enemy, he quickly took off all the spiritual weapons and slightly valuable things on them.

These are all evidence of his meritorious service. The magic power and breath of monks are left on the spiritual weapon. Each monk's magic power and breath are different and can be identified. These items can prove how many enemy monks he killed and how high his cultivation level he killed.

The flying rocket soared into the sky and had exploded in mid-air, emitting dazzling rays of light.

Soon, a burst of shock and riots came from dozens of miles deep in the swamp, shouting and shouting, running towards their place.

Ye Qin did not take action. It was enough to deal with several monks in Qi training stage, Sun Shi, one of them. The flying rocket and the shouting made him surprised and frowned. Not only were there monks from Wanyue Lake here, but it seemed that there were quite a few, otherwise it would not cause such a big disturbance.

"Senior Brother Ye, we have been discovered now, what should we do? Should we just go into the ice lake or avoid it first?" Chen Bao asked hurriedly.

"We don't know the enemy, and rushing around is seeking death. Avoid it first and find out the situation before talking about it." Ye Qin rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Destroy these corpses completely without leaving any traces. There are many monsters here, and they may not be able to confirm who did it. Maybe they think it was the monsters who killed their people. The Cold Lake Forest is hundreds of miles in radius, with many monsters and fog and miasma. It is normal for several monks to send a signal to ask for help when they were raided by monsters. Moreover, people can be hidden everywhere here, and it is not so easy for the enemy to find us."

Chen Bao nodded, shot out a few fireballs, and burned the bodies of the Wanyue Lake monks with Feng Tong and others, and then disrupted the swamp. Then, the five of them immediately hid in the swamp under the leadership of Ye Qin.

This area is either a dark forest or a foggy swamp. Even if thousands of monks from Wanyue Lake gather here, they may not be able to easily search their locations.

And Ye Qin knew very well that this was just an ice spirit stone collection point, not a major area. Wanyue Lake would never hoard a large number of cultivators in such remote places from the main battlefield. There were enough dozens or hundreds of Qi training cultivators here to collect ice spirit stones. As for how many foundation-building cultivators will be there, it is hard to say. The Lingwu Realm sent monks to sneak attack. Why wouldn’t Wanyue Lake cultivators send monks to ambush here?

Ye Qin and the other four teams left the scene shortly after.

At this time, Qian Bojiang led his team out of the hidden place in the swamp not far away, and cursed a few angry words.

He originally planned to follow Ye Qin and others and let Ye Qin and five others stand in front. He can figure out the situation of the Wanyue Lake monks. However, unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed, and several Wanyue Lake Qi training monks who came out to seek death appeared, and were picked up by Sun Shi for nothing.

The entire Hanhu Forest has fallen into chaos. After the monks of Wanyue Lake are alarmed, they will definitely send a large number of people to search everywhere. The few of them may encounter Wanyue Lake monks anytime, anywhere, and in any direction. The previous plan no longer works.

"It's already messy here, and it's hard to understand the situation. Let's fight for each other, fight and gain some military achievements, and then return to Lingwu City... I hope I won't meet the other party's powerful foundation-building cultivator."
