Hong Xiu smiled calmly: "Don't worry, I have notified the leaders of each flag and asked them to pay attention to the ghosts under their command."
"Anyone who is not sociable, who is a loner and hides away from others, who does not carry the water ape properly and practices secretly all day, could be that person."
"Once we have compiled a list, we will focus on investigating. There is a high probability that we will be able to discover the other party's identity."
"Then we can ask a general flag soldier to take action, and we can easily suppress that person!"
Niu Chengzong and the other man were immediately overjoyed.
"As expected, Brother Hong is a man of great foresight and courage!"
Hong Xiu waved his hand and couldn't help but smile.
Not far away, Chen Mu, who was hiding underground and listening to the conversation of the three people, also smiled.
"Since you guys are causing trouble for me first, don't blame me for counterattacking!"
"Ha ha!"
Then, someone not far away was thinking about how to trick the three people when he felt a familiar pressure and was knocked to the ground at the same time.
"Old Cow..." A cheerful voice sounded in the ears of the three people.
Hong Xiu's face twitched fiercely, but he had to speak: "Alas!"
Niu Chengzong, who was lying next to him, glared at Hong Xiu, "Why did you choose to use my name in the first place? Now I can't even use my fame!"
"I heard you were looking for me?" Chen Mu's voice was full of enthusiasm: "Do you have a gift for me?"
Hong Xiu's eyes twitched wildly and he said with a frustrated look: "That's right! You can use the water apes at the foot of the mountain as you like!"
"That's so embarrassing." Chen Mu's voice was quite embarrassed.
Then he waved his hand and five ghost black smokes fell from the sky, and the hill of water apes piled up at the foot of the mountain was swallowed up in the blink of an eye.
He acted so decisively, why are you still embarrassed?
Hong Xiu's face suddenly turned red with anger.
"Where are your air bags?" Chen Mu was a little unhappy: "Aren't you going to give me three air bags?"
After what happened last time, I would have been a fool to put a food bag on myself.
"I was a bit short of money, so I didn't buy it." Hong Xiu lied with gritted teeth.
"You three robbers are also short of money?" Chen Mu said sarcastically: "We are so poor!"
Three people: "..."
Hey!
Don't let us know who you are!
……
More than twenty days later.
In a secret room late at night.
Strands of water from the Forgotten River slowly emerged, and it took a while before they gathered into a ball.
Chen Mu took a deep breath and looked at the large water ball in front of him that was half a person's height, and couldn't help but smile.
"Finally, the first condition has been met."
I don’t know what’s going on, but it has become quite difficult to condense the water from the Wangchuan River recently.
At first, it was like fetching water from a river, which could be obtained by bending down slightly. But now, it was like drawing water from a deep well, which required a long rope to pull it up, and it required a lot of extra power from the Yin spirits.
This was why he was delayed for a long time.
"Is Huangquan Yin like this? Or is it because I condensed too much at once?"
"Forget it. It's useless to think too much. It's better to think about how to increase the Yin Spirit's power faster."
With a thought, the Yin spirit's divine power slightly touched the vertical lines between his eyebrows, as if lighting up countless fine light strips.
A burst of silver light started from the forehead and spread rapidly along the silver network in the subcutaneous blood vessels. The entire upper body seemed suddenly translucent, and the internal organs, muscles and bones glowed instantly, and it took a while before they returned to dim.
“If the magical ghost patterns can be spread all over the body, then the power of the Yin spirit will definitely increase greatly.”
"The conditions for condensing ten cauldrons of Forgotten River water can be easily achieved."
"Although practicing the Flying Flame Sutra is painful and dangerous, we still cannot stop."

Chapter 446 Attack
A few days later late at night.
Inside the central stone hall of Haiying.
Lan Zhang lazily sat on the stone chair, a faint smile on his lips: "This place is a paradise outside the heaven, far away from the underworld. The newborn Yin spirits are weak, so the Dew Gathering Spell is slightly ineffective. It's expected."
"With Ghost Gate as an anchor point and Huangquan Tribe as a guide, the power of Wangchuan River fills the entire Haizi Camp."
"A single failure is acceptable, but a large-scale failure of the spell is absolutely impossible!" Shen Yan's face was cold.
"Really? Then has General Shen found the reason?" Lan Zhang's expression remained unchanged, still huddled lazily in the stone chair.
A fierce look flashed in Shen Yan's eyes: "To cast the Dew Gathering Spell, we need to rely on the Forgotten River."
"The frequent failure of spells indicates that someone is secretly sealing the Ghost Gate and preventing the power of the Forgotten River from descending."
He stared at Lan Zhang, his expression becoming more solemn: "The only thing that can affect the gate of hell so secretly is the soul-summoning flag in your hand!"
hum!
The air suddenly vibrated.
Ten men in black suddenly appeared in the stone hall, forming a fan shape and surrounding the blue seal in the middle.
A layer of transparent water curtain suddenly rose up and quickly closed, like a big bowl, and in the blink of an eye, the blue seal was upside down inside.
Countless black spells rushed out from the water curtain and turned into chains that tightly bound Lan Zhang, making him unable to move at all.
"If you can use the soul-summoning flag to block the gates of hell, I can naturally use it to tie up the soul-summoning flag. Don't struggle, Lan Zhang." Shen Yan said coldly.
"In other words, all the power of Ghost Gate has been used by you to restrain the Soul-Calling Banner?" Lan Zhang, who had been expressionless all the time, suddenly grinned.
Shen Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he felt like something was wrong.
"You took the initiative to cut off the power that connects to the underworld."
"Without an anchor point, even if the city lord takes action personally, he can't move through the void to cause trouble to me!"
"You are such a good person! Haha..."
Lan Zhang's bloodshot eyes widened, strands of blood flowed out wildly, and he laughed out loud.
Without waiting for Shen Yan's reaction.
The dark shadow on the left side of the stone hall instantly turned into a sharp blade, piercing through the three men in black with a whoosh.
The eyes of the five men in black on the right side lit up with scarlet light at the same time. They suddenly jumped away from their original positions and surrounded Shen Yan and the remaining two men in black in an instant.
"You guys!" Shen Yan's face changed drastically.
He never imagined that half of the ten core members of the Huangquan Tribe he brought with him had already been instigated by Lan Zhang!
Before he could react, there was a burst of explosions. He turned his head suddenly and saw a burst of blood-red lightning shooting up into the sky from Lan Zhang's body. The water curtain and chains that bound his body were instantly shattered.
Strands of red lines emerged from behind the other person and gathered into a blood cloud in the air in the blink of an eye.
Shen Yan's pupils suddenly contracted, and his whole body suddenly exploded, turning into small black shadows that scattered in all directions and quickly rushed towards the door and window.
But the next moment, the blood cloud suddenly turned into an inverted bowl, covering the entire stone hall.
"Shen Yan, you can go further if you follow me. Become a part of me." Accompanied by a murmur that seemed to be spoken by countless people at the same time, the entire stone hall suddenly became silent, as if nothing had happened.
Inside the camp, grayish-white mist covered the sky, and pale green flames moved slowly inside the camp.
It was quiet all around, but great changes had quietly occurred without anyone noticing.
……
The next day.
Shi Dechun walked into the barracks of the B3rd Banner, greeted several roommates who were playing chess in a familiar manner, and then quickly came to Chen Mu.
"Old Jia said that the Huangquan tribe is located to the southwest of the camp."
"The bottomless pond where we throw the apes every day was built by the Yellow Springs Tribe."
"The job of those people inside is to condense the water of the Forgotten River and continuously throw it into the Bottomless Pond."
"It is said that this thing can summon the protection of the underworld, which is related to the safety of the entire camp."
"Perhaps it is for this reason that they seem to be recruiting people all the time, but few people can meet the entry requirements."
"If Brother Chen wants to go, he can go directly to the campsite next to the pond to sign up. As long as he passes the assessment, he can become a member of the Huangquan tribe."
Chen Mu understood.
He has been practicing madly recently and he is aware of the difficulty of the two conditions.
The first one is fine, but the second condition seems to be a test of the ability of mystical magic, but in fact it is a test of the origin of the Yin spirit.
If the origin is not strong and the divine power is insufficient, it will be difficult to condense ten pots of river water within six hours and the second condition cannot be met.
He took out a gray cloth bag from his sleeve and threw it to Shi Dechun.
"Thank you, Brother Chen!" Shi Dechun took it with a smile: "You may not know that many people's dew-collecting spells have failed recently, and Jade Dew Pearls are in short supply."
He put away the bag, and said with some envy: "Brother Chen is really going to Huangquan Tribe?"
"Not bad." Chen Mu nodded.
"It's too dangerous to always run to the battlefield."
“Although we have not encountered any attacks from aquatic monkeys, the dead aquatic monkeys alone are enough to threaten our safety.”
"In our B3 Banner alone, three people have died inexplicably by the blood river. They just walked a little closer to the center of the battlefield. I don't want to become one of them one day."
Chen Mu had not forgotten the living ape he encountered by the blood river. He felt cold all over when he was just stared at by the ape. He did not want to face it head-on, but just wanted to stay as far away as possible.
