Zhongli Tingzhou originally wanted to go south to see if he could find a chance to meet Gao Han in the disaster area of Damen, but he accidentally discovered the trace of the demon cultivator on the way.
He chased the demon cultivator for more than ten minutes and finally saw a figure in front of him, a black and dirty rat.
The female demon cultivator had already noticed that someone was chasing her from behind, but she didn't take it seriously and thought it was someone who claimed to be righteous and wanted to eliminate demons and defend the way of justice.
If it were in the past, she would have stopped and killed the man before leaving. But now she had other goals and could not waste time, so she ignored it.
The female demon cultivator thought that this man would be thrown off by her in less than half an hour, but she did not expect that something unexpected would happen in less than ten minutes. Suddenly, a man's low and laughing voice sounded in her ears.
"I've got you, black rat."
The female demon cultivator was immediately furious. How dare she call her a black rat!
Without thinking, an arm covered with dense runes stretched out from under the black cloak. The runes on the arm became more powerful and swung towards Zhongli Tingzhou.
When the arm cut through the air, it brought up a gust of fierce wind, which turned into a blade. If it were soft skin, it would have turned into pieces of flesh and blood.
But the reality did not go as the female demon cultivator expected and did not shock the man away.
A white, slender hand, wrapped in a black air, grabbed her wrist. The black air in turn suppressed the runes on her arm, causing the color on them to dim instantly.
"You are also a demon cultivator?" The female demon cultivator was shocked and immediately distanced herself from Zhongli Tingzhou without caring about her injured arm.
Zhongli Tingzhou was dressed in black clothes and black pants, and his behavior was somewhat similar to that of a demon cultivator. In order to prevent the demonic energy from leaking out and being seen and noticed by others, demon cultivators usually wear darker clothes, such as black.
The runes on the female demon cultivator's arm had completely lost their color and had a burnt smell. This arm was almost unusable.
She stared at Zhongli Tingzhou in horror, with a flash of amazement in her eyes, but the power he had just displayed overshadowed everything.
No, if this person was a demon cultivator, there is no way she had not heard of him.
A man who is so good-looking and powerful, if he were a demon cultivator, the news would have spread in their organization long ago.
"Who are you and why are you targeting me?" the female demon cultivator asked coldly.
Zhongli Tingzhou looked around the female demon cultivator and did not find the second black rat. "Which black rat are you chasing?"
"What black rat? I am from the Demon Spirit. If you know what's good for you, just leave." The female demon cultivator lowered her voice, and even bit the word "Demon Spirit" very hard.
"You are actually someone from Mo Ling. How disrespectful!" A hint of surprise flashed across Zhongli Tingzhou's face, and then he said with a smile.
These words made the female demon cultivator misunderstand that he was a wild demon cultivator, that is, a casual cultivator.
If a decent spirit cultivator heard the word "evil spirit", he would not show such a reverent expression.
The female demon cultivator's guard suddenly decreased a bit, "Since you have heard of the demon spirit, you can leave now."
"You haven't told me what you were chasing just now. You looked very anxious." Zhongli Tingzhou didn't move. The wind blew over, bringing a gust of cold air.
The female demon cultivator's cloak was blown loudly. She stretched out her hand to tighten the cloak that covered half of her face, and said anxiously, "It's none of your business. Get out of the way!"
If she delayed any further, the mutant creature she had found with great difficulty would disappear again.
"What if I don't get out of the way?" The smile on Zhongli Tingzhou's lips faded a lot, and the feeling of danger reappeared in a half-curve.
A chill suddenly struck the female demon cultivator's heart, and the feeling of being attacked just now appeared again.
"If you don't move out of the way, you are going against the evil spirit. No one who goes against the evil spirit will have a good ending." The female demon cultivator stared at him fearfully, not daring to relax even a bit.
The playful smile on Zhongli Tingzhou's face returned, "If you die, how will the demon know that it was me who did it?"
The female demon cultivator's face changed and she turned around and ran away. Her movements were quick and decisive, but she was still not as fast as Zhongli Tingzhou.
The black gas had already spread to her feet in a place she couldn't see. When the female demon cultivator tried to escape, the black gas immediately wrapped around her feet.
"No, you are not a demon cultivator, you are the demon king who specializes in killing demon cultivators as rumored!"
The female demon cultivator was terrified and finally recognized Zhongli Tingzhou's identity.
"Why? You are obviously similar to the Demon Cultivators, why don't you join the Demon Spirits? If you join the Demon Spirits, with your strength and talent, it would be enough for you to be the leader of the Demon Spirits. Why do you want to hunt down the Demon Cultivators?"
The female demon cultivator couldn't figure it out, and she didn't have the chance to figure it out, because she died and disappeared along with her skeleton, leaving only a black cloak in the grass.
"What a demon king! How childish!"
Zhongli Tingzhou's unhappy voice was heard in the air, and then disappeared at the end of the south.
…
The spiritual energy deep in the disaster area was so dense that it was unimaginable. Gao Han absorbed the spiritual energy to his heart's content for several days, and his cultivation level broke through again.
When he opened his eyes again, Zhang Hao and Lin Ying had woken up from their practice.
The two of them surrounded him and stared at him for who knows how long.
"Brother Gao, you finally woke up!" Zhang Hao looked moved, but he didn't know what he was moved about.
Gao Han looked at them in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Hao was surprised. Could it be that Brother Gao knew nothing?
"We have been practicing for five days. During these five days, you have absorbed spiritual energy very quickly." Lin Ying's tone was very tactful.
The places where they practiced were not too far apart, so the surrounding spiritual energy was shared. The more spiritual energy Gao Han absorbed, the less they got.
Both of them were awakened by the noise of Gao Han's unbridled absorption. This was the first time they had seen such a speed of cultivation and they were extremely surprised.
Gao Han had never seen other people's cultivation. He thought that his speed of absorbing spiritual energy was normal. He nodded and asked, "Has everyone's cultivation level reached a breakthrough?"
The two nodded and looked at him expectantly, especially Lin Ying, whose anxiety was evident in her heart.
"Then let's go," Gao Han stood up. "Next we will focus on training and try to get in touch with as many mutant creatures as possible, especially deep-sea monsters. We lack experience in fighting against deep-sea monsters."
"Okay." The two responded in unison.
Gao Han's expression suddenly changed.
Lin Ying noticed it, "What's wrong?"
"Someone, or a mutant creature, has encountered the formation device I set up." Gao Han looked in the direction of the feedback from the formation device. No matter which one it was, the other party seemed to be destroying it forcibly, which was not a good thing. Fortunately, it happened after they finished their practice, otherwise it would not be good if their practice was forcibly interrupted.
…
"Are you kidding us? It's been five days. Didn't we say that we can find the person we are looking for by walking in the northeast direction? Why can't we even see a single person now?" After searching for five days without finding anything, the gangster's men pushed Lin Yun angrily.
This time, Lin Yun lost his balance and was tripped by a stone under his feet. He sat down in the mud and his pants were soaked.
The man with the black mole didn't say a word. His eyes were like those of a cold poisonous snake as he looked at him, as if he would be wrathful if he didn't give him a reason that could convince him.
Lin Yun smiled bitterly: "The Northeast is so big. It may take fifty days, let alone five days, to find someone. I can only be sure that he is in this area, but not in which direction. Otherwise, I would have made a lot of money with this talent."
His sixth sense is just a vague concept, not a radar detection.
"I don't care about that. If you can't find that man within the specified time, I can't guarantee your brother's safety." The man with the black mole had an evil look on his face, and he had the ruthlessness of a gangster.
Seeing that the man with the black mole was about to break off the conversation, Lin Yun knew that he could not continue to fool around. He stood up and waited for the water on his pants to drain off before pointing in a certain direction and saying, "Go this way."
The man with the mole stood up, but walked in the other direction he pointed.
"We've gone the wrong way. This isn't the right place." Lin Yun quickly reminded.
The man with the mole turned around and said with a sinister smile, "We are not in the wrong place. Since you cannot determine the exact location, as long as we are still in the northeast of the disaster area, the result will be the same, right?"
林云暗道一声糟糕，居然被他发现了，他心里其实也着急着呢，五天前，不知为何，他突然感受不到属于他的生机，所以他只能带着黑痣男一群人乱走，没想到黑痣男能发现这一点。
捕捉到他脸上露出的一丝异样，黑痣男就知道自己猜对了，想骗他，还嫩着呢。
林云沉默的跟着黑痣男一群人走。
大概走了半个多小时，出去探路的人回来了，带来一个好消息——前面有人。
“有几个人，都是些什么人？有没有那个人？”黑痣男还以为他们已经遇到林云说的黑衣男人，立刻追问。
“有六个人，看起来年纪都不大，但是没有穿黑衣的人。”手下回道。
黑痣男哼了哼，“没有穿黑衣服的人，可不代表那个人就不在其中，谁又能肯定，他不会穿其他颜色的衣服，走，我们过去看看！”说完还意味深长地看了林云一眼。
很快他们看到黑痣男的手下说的那群人。
他们正在对付一头变异生物，几乎是他们一过来，这些人就发现他们了，立刻用最快的速度解决了变异生物。
有一个人拿出法器，给予那头变异生物致命的一击，然后转身，警惕的看着他们。
林云看到领头的男人，眼神闪了闪，这个人他居然认识，炼器一班的袁哲。
林云立刻思索起向袁哲求救的可能性，虽然跟他弟不是一个学院的，但都是第一名，袁哲肯定听说过他弟的名字。
这么想着，林云心里却很犹豫，因为他并没有从袁哲身上感受到任何生机，好比如，他开口求救，袁哲不仅救不了他，甚至可能还会让他处于更威胁的境地，最重要的是，袁哲出现了，他弟弟极有可能也在这里！！！
“这里面，没有我们要找的那个人。”林云决定不让黑痣男跟这些人纠缠下去。
“哦？我怎么看着，你似乎认识他们。”黑痣男阴笑地看着他变脸。
林云深呼吸一口气，“我不认识他们，但我知道他们是谁，他们是蓬莱大学的学生，你也知道我是弟是蓬莱大学的，我见过他们一两面也不稀奇。”
黑痣男盯着他看了半天，警告道：“林云，你最好不要耍花招！”
林云尽量不让他看出自己心里所想，“我的小命就在你们手里，我怎么敢耍花招，那个男人又不是我什么人，我如果遇到他，难不成还会替他隐瞒不成，我巴不得快点找到他。”
“你是林云？你弟弟林英一直在找你。”袁哲听到黑痣男的话，心头一动，林英那个失踪的哥哥，居然也在大门灾区里。
林云瞪大眼睛，死死盯着袁哲，他弟弟果然也在大门灾区，这么说来，今年蓬莱大学选择的历练灾区，就是这里了。
袁哲笑着说道：“你应该还不知道吧，你弟弟也在这里，运气好的话，你们兄弟说不定能碰上，祝你好运，我们先走了。”
林云的脸色顿时变得十分难看。
“你弟弟居然也在这里，看来我们的运气还不错嘛。”黑痣男似笑非笑、意有所指地看了林云一眼。
“你别乱来，如果你们敢对我弟弟做什么，休想我再配合！”林云一直以为来淡定的模样，在黑痣男隐约要对他弟弟不利的话语下，终于破功了，面色阴郁的警告道，他已经没心思想，袁哲是不是故意的。
黑痣男笑声得意，“你若乖乖帮我找人，我自然不会动你弟弟，可你要是敢有一点不该有的心思，那就另当别论了，我们可不是做慈善的。”
……
“阿哲，林英哥哥身边那些人，看起来似乎不好惹。”等走远了，魏开阳才开口。
“是啊。”袁哲笑容满面的点了点头。
魏开阳又问：“不过，你刚刚为什么要提醒他林英在这里，你想让他去找林英？”
“不，林云不会去找他弟弟的，他不会允许自己把危险带到他弟弟身边，但是那些人就不一样，他们带着林云却不杀他，显然是有什么事情需要林云去做，而林英是林云的软肋，”袁哲笑声透着算计，“若真遇到林英，那些人应该不会放过这个机会，别忘了，林英和谁组队。”
魏开阳眼睛一亮，“我懂了，你想利用他们，给高寒制造麻烦！”
“还不能确定，不过既然遇到了，就没有放过的道理，眼下我们进入灾区已经半个月，还剩下半个月，要是没意外的话，我希望能把高寒永远留在大门灾区里！”袁哲眼里透出阴鸷的狠劲，他的心魔已经产生了，唯有解决掉高寒，才能消失。
他败给高寒的事，肯定已经传到袁家，之所以一直没找他谈话，一是他要来灾区历练，二是为了灵韵石矿。
此间事了，情况就不一样了，所以必须在家主找他谈话之前，解决掉高寒。
