Chapter 144 Leaving the City and Going Up the Mountain, Secret Observer

"squeak"

The moment the palace door opened, Situ Jiannan restrained his aura and turned himself into a kind old man again.

Seeing Du Hulong walking into the hall with the gait of a tiger, Situ Jiannan immediately stood up.

"I was just about to have someone welcome you in when you came."

Du Hu looked at the other person's kind face and secretly mocked him in his heart: "Old fox."

Even though you look down on the other person in your heart, you still have to put in some effort on the surface.

Du Hu clasped his fists and said, "I have urgent military affairs to report. I hope the king will forgive me."

"General Du is concerned about state affairs, so you don't need to worry about these minor details."

.......

After a while.

Looking at Du Hu's leaving back, Situ Jiannan's face was once again filled with frost.

"Just wait, one day I will uproot you and the Rock Kingdom. The Principality of the Vast Sea belongs to my Situ family!"

The next day

Situ Mingzhu found Lu Ming and the others and said, "Let's go to Qingyun Mountain."

"What are you going to do in Qingyun Mountain?"

"Of course it's to hunt monsters!"

Situ Mingzhu's eyes lit up: "I haven't hunted monsters for a long time."

"can."

Anyway, their main purpose this time was to gain experience, and hunting monsters was just right for that.

The three of them left the city together and headed for Qingyun Mountain.

Lu Ming didn't know that they were just going to Qingyun City to hunt monsters, but it involved various forces.

In a dark alley: "I'm following you with my men. Go and report to the general. The target has left the city. Should we take action?"

General's Mansion

When Du Hu heard the report from his subordinates, the corners of his mouth curled up.

“The layout two years ago finally paid off.”

He ordered: "Notify Zong Xiangfang and ask him to select fifty good fighters from his personal guards and go to Qingyun Mountain immediately. Situ Mingzhu must be going to look for a Jinshi-level beast!"

At the same time, in a gorgeous carriage on the street.

"My lord, His Highness has left the city."

Inside the carriage, a wealthy middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with brilliance.

"Notify the people below to follow quickly and ensure His Highness' safety!"

At the city gate, a team of ten people immediately followed Lu Ming and his team after they left the city.

The members of this team are very young, most of them are around 16 or 17 years old, and the captain is named He Yang.

"Listen to me, as the saying goes, raise an army for a thousand days but deploy it only for a moment. Your Highness is leaving the palace secretly this time, and we must ensure your safety!"

"Don't worry, Captain. We will protect your safety to the death!"

Qingyun Mountain is located 80 kilometers to the southwest. Although the road is not short, there are many people on the road.

Not to mention the hustle and bustle of traffic, there is also a constant flow of people.

Lu Ming realized something was wrong halfway through the journey, as if someone was following them.

As soon as he thought about it, light flashed in the sky hundreds of meters high, and a pair of evil eyes were summoned by Lu Ming.

"Watch carefully!"

After giving the order to Xieyan, Lu Ming deliberately slowed down.

"The scenery along the way is nice. We don't have to rush. Let's enjoy the beautiful scenery."

"Okay!" Situ Mingzhu agreed happily.

He had been locked up at home since he was a child, and he found everything in the outside world fresh and interesting, so he naturally agreed.

As Lu Ming's good friend, A Le immediately realized that something was wrong.

"what happened?"

"I feel like we're being targeted. I want to verify it."

Hearing this, Ale also became secretly alert.

Soon Lu Ming got the news from Evil Eye.

"Sure enough, I was targeted!"

There were many pedestrians on the road, but the evil eye still found dozens of people behaving abnormally.

Although these people were scattered everywhere, they surrounded Lu Ming and the other two and observed them from time to time!

What’s more important is that these people don’t seem to be in the same group!

Ah Le came closer and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Lu Ming nodded gently: "It has been confirmed that there are many people around who are watching us."

"Then what should we do?"

Lu Ming thought for a moment, then said to Situ Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, do you have a flying beast?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Why don't we have a competition to see who can reach Qingyun Mountain first with the help of a flying beast?"

"Okay!" Situ Mingzhu agreed excitedly.

"Then start!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them each summoned their life beasts.

Lu Ming summoned the gargoyle, and A Le summoned the iron-feathered griffin.

Seeing this, Situ Mingzhu, unwilling to be outdone, summoned out his own life beast, which turned out to be a rare harpy.

The Harpy is a dual-element beast of wind and sound. It has strong combat power and is a very good and powerful beast.

The three of them flew to Qingyun Mountain on their respective beasts.

The movement of the three immediately startled countless people hiding in the dark.

The ten-man team led by He Yang immediately summoned their life-beasts and flew towards Qingyun Mountain, closely following Lu Ming and the others.

There was also movement in several carriages on the left.

"My lord, someone is chasing after you."

The middle-aged man in the lead shook his head slightly.

"Don't worry, those people are the Tiger Hunting Team trained privately by His Highness, just leave them alone."

At this moment, more than a dozen people appeared behind the carriage. They each summoned their own life beast, obviously intending to track Lu Ming and the others.

The middle-aged man saw this and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "They are Du Hu's men, kill them all!"

Immediately, the two sides engaged in a fierce fight on this busy official road, and Lu Ming and his men were unaware of all this.

Ten minutes later, the three arrived at Qingyun Mountain.

"Haha, I win, I was here first."

Situ Mingzhu laughed happily for winning the competition.

Ah Le was a little speechless: "What's there to be happy about? It's not like I found money!"

Lu Ming glanced behind him and confirmed that no one was following him. Then he said, "Let's go into the mountains."

Qingyun Mountain is very large, with nearly a hundred peaks and an area of ​​thousands of kilometers. It is the largest habitat for monsters in the Principality of Hanhai.

In such a large place, there are naturally countless monsters, including many high-level monsters. It is rumored that there are monsters above level 90 here, but no one has ever seen them.

There is a ten-foot-high stone tablet at the entrance of Qingyun Mountain. It is very simple and only has a warning.

"The monsters are ferocious, but the human heart is even worse than the monsters. When you enter Qingyun Mountain, you cannot trust others, but only yourself!"

Ah Le looked at the warning on the stone tablet and was very confused: "Who put this here? It's so extreme!"

Situ Mingzhu explained: "This stone tablet has a history of more than 3,000 years. I heard that it was erected by the master of the Qingyun City Life Master Temple at that time."

"It is said that he and his best friend went to Qingyun Mountain to look for a treasure. But at the critical moment, his best friend actually harmed him for the treasure."

"Fortunately, he was lucky and survived in the end."

"But this incident also made him distrust everyone and become very extreme."

Ah Le shook his head and sighed: "He just doesn't know how to judge people. His so-called friend is just a profit-seeking bastard."

Lu Ming looked at the inscription and said thoughtfully: "Although it is extreme, the first two sentences are still worthy of our attention."

"'Monsters are ferocious, but human hearts are even more ferocious'. We must also be careful when we meet strangers in Qingyun Mountain!"

A Le and Situ Mingzhu nodded at the same time, and the three of them walked into Qingyun Mountain.

Looking at the countless mountain paths at the entrance, A Le was scratching his head.

"Which way should we go?"

Situ Mingzhu immediately said: "Take this road, this road leads directly to Black Wind Ridge!"

"Black Wind Ridge? Why are we going there?"

"There is a rare monster in Black Wind Ridge, I want to obtain it and make it my life beast!"

"What kind of monster is this?"

"Qingluoyi!"
