Chapter 2638 - 2638 Nine tomb Valley (1)
2638 Nine tomb Valley (1)
On the way, Tang Zhen happened to see a villager who was trapped on the road. Hence, he lent a hand.
In fact, the main reason was that he wanted to ask for directions from the other party. Helping him was just a reward for asking for directions.
Those strange figures were actually special monsters that could use special means to harm people.
The more afraid the target was, the faster they would die. In the end, most of them would collapse and commit suicide or be killed by other collapsed people.
In fact, throughout the entire process, the monster would not kill anyone with its own hands, and it did not have the ability to kill.
The problem was that for ordinary people, this kind of monster that only knew how to scare people was indeed terrifying. Although the physical body was unharmed, the mental pressure was enough to make people collapse.
These few villagers were also lucky to have met Tang Zhen, who was passing by, to help them. Otherwise, they would have ended up like those bandits.
When they heard Tang Zhen mention the nine tomb Valley, the villagers were slightly stunned, as if they could not understand why he wanted to know about that place.
Tang Zhen’s luck wasn’t bad. The few villagers did know about the nine tombs Valley. They said that it was the tomb of an Emperor from thousands of years ago, and there were a total of nine tombs inside.
It was said that the nine tombs Valley was extremely dangerous, and if one entered by mistake, there was an 80 – 90% chance that one would die inside.
Those who were lucky enough to escape expressed that the nine tomb Valley was full of traps and that there were many strange and terrifying monsters.
If it wasn’t necessary, one should never get close to the nine tombs Valley. Otherwise, one would be in grave danger.
Tang Zhen nodded his head as he listened to the villagers ‘description. He guessed that it should be a Monster Lair.
Following the arrival of the demon wave, the number of monsters in the already eerie nine tomb Valley would probably increase to a frightening number.
The 4th battle group had chosen that place to make it easier to kill monsters. Its nature should be similar to the ruins.
Since the command center was placed there, the monsters ‘production rate and quality should be higher than the remains. It was likely that there were already King-level cultivators there.
Therefore, they had to be extra careful when they took action, as the slightest carelessness could cost them their lives.
Due to the difficulty of the mission, the 5th battle area’s command center chose Tang Zhen to carry out the assassination mission alone.
If the operation was successful, it would naturally be for the best. If the operation failed, Tang Zhen would be able to retreat more easily.
If he acted with his teammates and his teammates were trapped in the enemy camp, should he save them or not?
If Tang Zhen was unfortunately eliminated, the losses would be minimized. The loss of one king level cultivator wouldn’t have a big impact on the outcome of the war.
In truth, Tang Zhen’s main mission was still to spy and gather information. To put it more bluntly, he was using his life to exchange for important information.
It might sound cruel and unfair, but that was how real wars were, often with small sacrifices in exchange for greater benefits.
To join a war machine and become a part of it, one had to be prepared to sacrifice themselves at any time.
Currently, Tang Zhen’s identity was not a commander but a soldier of the 5th battle area. Therefore, even though he knew what this mission meant, he still accepted the mission without any hesitation.
As a cultivator of Lou Cheng, this was a quality that he must have.
Of course, the premise was that the mission was reasonable. If the command center of the 5th battle area deliberately made things difficult for Tang Zhen and wanted him to die in vain, he would definitely not let it go.
In fact, up until now, the command center was still unable to determine whether the information was accurate. Tang Zhen’s trip this time was also to verify the authenticity of the information.
After asking for the location of the nine tombs Valley, Tang Zhen continued on his way, heading straight into the depths of the mountain.
After crossing a few large mountains, Tang Zhen’s eyes suddenly focused as he quickly hid in the tree crown.
In the sky not far away, a group of huge flying monsters flew by. They were covered in special armor, which was clearly tailor-made for them.
There were a total of 20 monsters, and each of them had four cultivators on it. They were looking around with cold eyes.
These cultivators were well-equipped, and from the badges they wore, one could tell that they were from the fourth battle area.
Even if the enemy’s command center was not in nine tomb Valley, this place must be a strategic location. Otherwise, the defense would not be so tight.
Tang Zhen’s heart was slightly happy. He was not afraid of entering a Dragon’s pool or a Tiger’s Den. He was only afraid that he would make a wasted trip.
If the enemy’s command center was not in the nine tomb Valley but somewhere else, Tang Zhen would definitely have to search for it.
Not only would it take time and effort, but it could also affect the final battle.
After the patrol team left, Tang Zhen didn’t fly because he knew that he had entered a high alert area.
At this time, they had to hide their traces to avoid being discovered by the patrol team. If they attracted the attention of the other party’s experts, the mission this time would immediately be ruined.
While they were advancing through the forest, Tang Zhen also discovered hidden sentries and patrolling cultivators.
Compared to the patrols in the air, the frequency of patrols on the ground was much higher. They would encounter a patrol almost every ten minutes.
In addition to the cultivators of Lou Cheng, the wild beasts and birds in the forest had also become the eyes and ears of the cultivators.
Fortunately, Tang Zhen was extremely experienced and discovered the abnormality of the bird beast in time. He then used a special method to conceal his aura.
He moved through the forest like a ghost, avoiding the patrol teams and approaching nine tombs Valley.
After travelling for about ten kilometers, Tang Zhen sensed an extremely obscure energy fluctuation. Soon after, he discovered a hidden alarm rune on the trees in the forest.
These runic magic circles were exquisitely made, and ordinary cultivators could not discover them at all. Furthermore, they were activated without a sound.
Tang Zhen knew with a single glance that this was the work of a Rune Master. His level was likely comparable to his own.
It wasn’t a good opportunity to compete in skill right now. Otherwise, Tang Zhen would definitely study it and see the level of the rune Masters in the fourth battle area.
After avoiding the hidden warning array, Tang Zhen continued to move forward and saw countless human-shaped monsters in the forest.
If Tang Zhen could command the monster army, the other cultivators in the city could do the same. These humanoid monsters that looked very similar to the forest elves clearly had quite extraordinary combat power.
Under the command of Lou Cheng, they were constantly training in the forest. They were very skilled in both close combat and long-range weapons.
These monsters were also equipped with armors made by Lou Cheng’s cultivators. Although they were mass-produced products, they still proved that they were valued.
If they were just cannon fodder, there was no need for them to be equipped with armor and weapons, and it was even more impossible to send special people to train them.
The cultivators of loucheng city were indeed powerful. Even if it was a ferocious monster, they could still subdue it and make it into a soldier to help them fight.
After observing for a while, Tang Zhen uploaded the data of this monster and continued to head towards the nine tomb Valley.
On the next part of the journey, Tang Zhen saw more than one monster army that was undergoing training. It seemed that they were all captured by the fourth battle area from nine tomb Valley.
After observing and recording along the way, Tang Zhen finally arrived at the nine tombs Valley.
The huge mountain had been chiseled, and countless statues had been created. The contents of the records were magical and mysterious.
Despite the vicissitudes of time, the buildings in nine tomb Valley were not affected at all. Mortals who looked at them would feel small and insignificant.
This was merely the entrance to the nine tomb Valley. As they walked along the long flight of stairs, they only officially entered the main gate of the nine tomb Valley when they reached the middle of the mountain.
As expected, the nine tombs Valley was occupied by the cultivators of the tower City. There were figures flashing between the statues and buildings from time to time, making it look like a busy and strict scene.
