Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou never expected that they would hear the conversation between the Yuan family and the evil spirits here.

As for the fact that the Yuan family was looking for Ming Haifeng, they were not surprised.

As talented as Yuan Tianping was back then, Yuan Zhengshan was as afraid of him.

Even though he is not as strong as he used to be, decades have passed, but the fear hidden deep in his heart cannot be easily eliminated.

Before coming to the disaster area, Gao Han already had a hunch that the Yuan family should have sent someone to stop Yuan Tiansheng from finding Ming Haifeng.

The information provided by the evil spirit's people was exactly about the black dragon.

They have found the trace of the black dragon. As long as they find the black dragon, they can find Ming Haifeng. This is a consensus known to everyone.

"We have already told you the news about Ming Haifeng. When will the finished spiritual weapon be delivered?" asked the Demon Spirit's people.

"You think it's too easy to exchange a piece of information for a batch of finished spiritual tools. Even if you don't tell us about the whereabouts of the black dragon, we will find it sooner or later."

"Don't you want to regret it?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Gao Han wished they would fight.

But that's impossible, they're not here to fight.

"Don't worry, we won't go back on our word. We just need your assistance in the matter of Ming Haifeng. You don't have to confront us head-on. There is another matter."

The demon's tone relaxed a little, "What's the matter?"

"Kill Gao Han when you see him. It shouldn't be difficult for you to deal with a mere third-class spirit refiner."

"Haha, you have a good plan. It's not difficult to be a third-class spirit refiner, but what if Zhongli Tingzhou is with him? We have received news that when Gao Han left Huacheng, Zhongli Tingzhou was with him."

Huacheng is the city where old man Zhongli lives.

"Zhongli Tingzhou's strength is at worst second-class, not to mention that he can kill people above his level. We can only promise that we will try our best to keep him when we see him, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to kill him."

The Yuan family hesitated for a long time before agreeing, but there was nothing they could do if they disagreed.

After that, they paid a 30% deposit before the cooperation agreement between the two parties was generated.

The agreement was reached and the Yuan family left.

"Sir, do you really want to cooperate with the Yuan family?" The demon spirit who stayed in place spoke again.

"If we don't cooperate, just like Yuan Da said, how can we defeat Polaris and the others?"

"Cooperating with Yuan Zhengshan is like seeking the skin of a tiger. Will he really give us the remaining finished spiritual weapons?"

The other party sneered, "If he doesn't give it to me, there is nothing I can do. I am not an easy person to bully. The most important thing now is not the cooperation with the Yuan family. The Lord didn't send us here for this matter."

"But we didn't find that thing. Could it be that it's not here?"

"That's a possibility, but I always feel like I've missed something. Never mind. Let's just ignore it for now."

The sound gradually faded away until it disappeared.

The poisonous gas here has spread over a wide area, and the people from the Yuan family and the Demon Spirit don't dare to stay here for long.

Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou then went ashore.

The area around the lake was quiet, with only the corpses of mutant creatures left around, proving that someone had been here before.

Gao Han took out the map and pointed to one of the places. "We should be here now. The Black Pool Ridge that the demon spirit mentioned should be here. It's not far away."

Zhongli Tingzhou hummed lazily, "We have deviated from the track and have been swimming for a long time. We have already entered the main disaster area."

"The black dragon's strength should be above level twelve, right?" Gao Han frowned.

"Not only that, there is only this one black dragon in the main disaster area. The area of ​​its territory, Heitanling, is extremely large. The worst level of this is at level 14." Zhongli Tingzhou said.

Gao Han frowned again, "With such strong strength, can Ming Haifeng handle it?"

"That depends on the situation of this black dragon. Ming Haifeng has been in the main disaster area for so long and has not made any movement. It is very likely that he is looking for an opportunity."

Gao Han suddenly remembered something, "You mean, he is waiting for the moment when the black dragon turns into a dragon?"

"Only in this way will he have the opportunity to take action." Zhongli Tingzhou nodded.

“It’s too dangerous.”

"That's better than doing nothing and waiting to die." Zhongli Tingzhou said indifferently.

This is a road of no return. There is no way back except to move forward.

Gao Han put away the map and said, "Let's go to the outskirts of Black Pool Ridge first. If something is wrong, we will leave immediately."

Zhongli Tingzhou joked, "Aren't you looking for Ming Haifeng?"

Gao Han shook his head, "That also requires survival."

Looking for Ming Haifeng is based on the premise of ensuring your own safety. If you have lost your life, there is no point in looking for Ming Haifeng.

Deep in the main disaster area, one could encounter powerful mutant creatures everywhere. The two did not get entangled with them and avoided a lot of trouble. However, they took a lot of detours and the journey that was originally scheduled for one day took two days.

The sky above Heitan Ridge was gloomy, without a single ray of sunlight penetrating. It was surrounded by dense woods, yet the air was filled with a foggy and dead silence.

In other ridges where mutant creatures live, there are at least the chirping of insects and birds, but Heitan Ridge is overly quiet, as if there are no living things in it and there is an air of death everywhere.

The dark clouds gathering in the sky make a dull sound. If you stay here for too long, you will easily feel irritated.

Fugui grabbed Gao Han's clothes on his chest again and almost tore them.

He was hit on the head by Zhongli Tingzhou next to him and immediately became obedient.

However, this kind of honesty is only temporary, and he will return to his old ways after a while.

In just five minutes, Gao Han saw Fugui being beaten three times in a row by his father.

Three bumps quickly appeared on her head and she cried in his arms.

"Your father is doing this for your own good. You are not a child anymore, and you should learn to be calmer." Gao Han touched its head.

Fugui blinked his watery eyes, what is calmness.

Gao Han pretended not to understand and touched it in silence.

A moment later, a roar suddenly came from Heitan Ridge, which sounded like a dragon's roar, but was full of murderous intent. A black shadow crashed into the clouds above, and the surging clouds in the sky were knocked away, and faint sounds of thunder were heard.

Zhongli Tingzhou looked at the surging dark clouds over Heitan Ridge, which were emitting layers of ominous omens, and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Gao Han asked hurriedly. He always felt that something seemed to have happened in Heitan Ridge.

"This black dragon is probably changing its human form." Zhongli Tingzhou said in a low voice.

Gao Han's pupils shrank. "Transformed? Doesn't that mean it has already reached level 15?"

Level fifteen is equivalent to the cultivation level of a first-class superior human being. He remembered that going above that level would mean becoming an immortal.

"It seems that this black dragon has been hiding its cultivation level. All those who came to investigate have been deceived by it. It's a pity that it has bad luck and chose to transform at this time." Zhongli Tingzhou said in a deep voice.

"Why is that?"

"Since the main disaster area existed, there are very few mutant creatures that can cultivate to level 15, not to mention level 15 crystal cores. Even the government probably doesn't have them."

"The fifteenth-level crystal core is a good thing. When the black dragon transforms, its strength is limited. It is at its weakest. Whether it is humans or mutant creatures, they will probably target it. Now, a fight should have started inside."

At the end of his speech, there was still a hint of excitement in Zhongli Tingzhou's voice, and he stood up and planned to go in and take a look.

Gao Han quickly grabbed him and said, "Is it okay for us to go in like this?"

Zhongli Tingzhou held his hand and said, "It won't be a problem. Now everyone is waiting to take the black dragon's crystal core. No one will pay attention to who else comes in from outside."

Gao Han looked up at the rolling clouds in the sky, occasionally revealing the huge figure of the black dragon, and his breathing became heavier.

In front of such a powerful force, he felt a little insignificant, and couldn't help but reveal a trace of desire in his heart.

One day, he will also possess such powerful strength.

The two sneaked into Black Pool Ridge.

Heitan Ridge is extremely large. Although the black dragon seems to be right in front of them, it is actually still a long distance away from them.

Just as we were getting closer, we finally heard some noises ahead, each one getting louder than the last.

Pushing aside the grass that was blocking the view, a wave of aftermath swept over and hit the big rock in front, shattering it instantly.

The two looked forward and saw a black pool of water in the center of Heitan Ridge. At this moment, it was surging with waves. Every time a wave arose, there was a loud rumbling sound in the sky. Below, a group of people were fighting happily.

They were human spirit cultivators and a group of mutated monsters, and more people died on the mutated monster side.

"Look at the nine o'clock direction." Zhongli Tingzhou whispered in Gao Han's ear.

Gao Han looked over carefully and soon found several people hiding there.

"It's still three o'clock." Zhongli Tingzhou continued.

There are so many people hiding in Heitanling.

"Where is Ming Haifeng?" Gao Han looked around but couldn't find Ming Haifeng.

Zhongli Tingzhou raised his head and looked up at the sky. "A strong man with first-class cultivation can fly in the air. He is probably hiding somewhere, waiting for the black dragon to reach an important stage before taking action."

There was one thing Gao Han didn't understand. "Ming Haifeng is very powerful. How could Yuan Zhengshan be so confident that he could stop Yuan Tiansheng and the others from approaching Ming Haifeng?"

As the saying goes, when gods fight, the devils suffer.

Zhongli Tingzhou turned around and gave him a look that showed he saw the same thing as a hero. "Maybe he's planning to pick up a bargain."

If Ming Haifeng and Hei Jiao fight to the death, it is still possible.

Seeing how skillfully he spoke, Gao Han knew that he had also taken advantage of loopholes before. His gaze moved from the thundering clouds to the windy and choppy water. Suddenly, he came up with an idea and poked Zhongli Tingzhou with his elbow.

"What do you think the chances are that we'll get into the water?"

Zhongli Tingzhou was worthy of being his boyfriend, and he immediately guessed his purpose.

"The Black Flood Dragon is one of the top warriors in the main disaster area. He must have many powerful deep-sea creatures under his command. We will definitely be discovered under everyone's eyes, unless we go back to the original small lake and look for a passage leading to the Black Water Pool."

"Is there no other way?"

Just as Gao Han finished speaking, there was a sudden bang, and a mutated deep-sea creature crashed heavily next to them.

The two of them turned their heads at the same time, looking at the injured mutated deep-sea creature in silence and strangeness.

The mutated deep-sea creature seemed to be aware of the two gazes as well, and turned around to meet their eyes.

Before it could jump up to attack, the couple knocked it out in unison, dragged it over, and secretly took it back the way it came.
