The Baolumo flew ahead for two hours, and the ten members of the adventure team arrived at the mountainous area.
A clear river flows through this mountainous area, and to the right of the river is an area shrouded in fog.
"We're here." Baolumo stood in front of the fog, pacing on the rock platform on the ground, looking for the most suitable direction to enter.
"I feel like you're not very useful. This place isn't hard to find." The Rhino Demon said to the Treasure Demon. He thought it was unfair that he could share the profits with them just by leading the way.
"Without me, you'll just be wandering around and never find this mountainous region," the Treasure Road Demon said. "What do you mean by that? Are you dissatisfied with me?"
"I'm just telling the truth. Your fighting ability is not strong. If you encounter danger in there, you still need our protection." The Rhino Demon snorted coldly.
"The captain didn't say anything, and you still have something to say? I didn't say anything even though you snored so loudly last night!" Baolumo retorted loudly.
"That's because you can't beat me, so you can't say anything." The Rhino Demon shook the mace in his hand.
The Treasure Demon couldn't refute it—he truly couldn't defeat the other. But the adventure group didn't necessarily get a bigger share simply because they fought hardest; other contributions also counted. He felt there was no point in explaining to a demon like the Rhino Demon, whose head was on its butt. Since the leader hadn't said anything, he didn't bother to pay attention to the Rhino Demon either, turning away in silence.
"Everyone, get ready. I'm going to use the Demon Breaker." Avril said, pulling out a metal object that looked like a lipstick from her small bag. "Be careful of wandering monsters. Once you go in, form a team of three. Chris and I will form another team, and this Lord Demon Emperor will be alone. We will search for treasures in different areas and distribute them after we come out."
"No problem, Captain." The ten members of the adventure team said in unison.
"Array breaker, scan the weak points of the array." The array breaker in Avril's hand emitted light, scanning and spreading magnetic waves like a radar, and then more than a dozen bright spots appeared in front of Avril, flashing continuously.
"It looks like this formation is very old, with more than a dozen weak points that can be broken." Chris walked over to Avril and said, "Captain, we need to hurry. I feel like someone is following us after we left the city."
"Who?" Avril said, "I didn't even feel it. You're weaker than me, how did you sense it?"
Wang Xiaohai closed his eyes and indeed felt energy moving towards this side. After sensing it carefully, he concluded that it was three awakened demons.
"I'm a military advisor because I have a special ability that allows me to sense danger," Chris explained. "This is a gift from our race and can't be learned."
"Okay, everyone, move seventeen feet to the right. I'll use the array-breaking device to pierce the weak point. Everyone, get ready to enter!" Avril didn't hesitate and moved directly to the right after she finished speaking.
The members of the Sanye Adventure Group stopped talking and chatted and followed Avril.
"Counter-spin? Break!"
Avril recited the incantation to break the formation and inserted the lipstick-shaped formation-breaking device into the fog.
A red light rose from the mist, quickly spreading to form a red circle. The edge of the red circle continued to melt like wax, and finally became a circular hole with a diameter of three meters. Cold air continued to gush out of the hole.
"Everyone only has ten seconds!" Avril had already entered the formation when she said this.
The members of the Sanye Adventure Group rushed in one after another, and it took a total of no less than three seconds.
Wang Xiaohai was the last one to enter. When he entered, he looked behind him on purpose. Sure enough, he saw three beast-shaped demons with tiger heads following behind him. The beast-shaped demons roared and rushed towards the round hole that was slowly closing.
"It's the triplets from the Autumn Post Adventure Group!" The Jiutuo Demon knew most of the Fanggu City Adventure Group members. Seeing this, he said nervously, "These triplets love to rob each other. I guess they have been targeting us for a long time." As soon as he finished speaking, the hole in the formation closed. Only the eldest brother of the triplets who was in the front reached the cave entrance in time, but the eldest brother could only reach his hand into the cave entrance in time. Then the formation entrance closed. The tiger demon boss's hand broke instantly and he fell into the formation. His whole body was blocked outside the formation.
"Let's go!" Avril looked at the severed hand still trembling on the ground and turned away.
There was also a thin mist inside the formation, and visibility was no more than thirty meters.
Most of the awakened ones still rely on their vision to see things, and cannot sense mass and ability, so these fogs have caused great trouble to the members of the Sanye Adventure Group.
"Everyone, split up into groups of three as agreed. No matter how much you've found, return to where we'll break the formation and reunite in two days," Avril said. "Because this formation-breaking device only lasts three days after use, and we'll need it to break out by then. If you're too late, you'll have to stay in the cemetery forever with the wandering monsters."
The members of the Sanye Adventure Group instantly split into four groups. It seemed that they had made an agreement long ago.
Avril was in a group with her military advisor Chris, while Wang Xiaohai followed them fifty meters behind, out of Avril's sight.
"Wait, there's a trap on the ground ahead." Chris grabbed Avril and pointed ten meters ahead.
Avril looked ahead and saw only an ordinary wintersweet tree, emitting the fragrance of yellow plum blossoms. The petals and leaves fell lightly to the ground, crushing a running ant.
Everything is normal!
At the same time, members of the other three teams of adventurers also encountered the wintersweet tree, but no one cared and walked straight under the tree.
A fragrant yellow plum leaf floated onto the shoulder of a beast-shaped demon. This demon never spoke to Wang Xiaohai throughout the whole process, so Wang Xiaohai didn't know his name. He was in the same group with Scar Demon.
“Hmm—”
The demon was about to brush off the flowers and leaves on his body, but found that the flowers and leaves melted on his shoulders like ice and snow. A cold feeling instantly spread throughout his body. He trembled, and the pain instantly overwhelmed him. He struggled desperately - his legs grew roots and connected together, his body turned into a trunk, his hands turned into branches, his hair and fur turned into yellow plum blossoms, and then he stopped in front of the Scar Demon.
"What kind of strange tree is this?" Scar Demon stepped back hastily, fearing that the plum blossoms would fall on him.
At the same time, members of the other two teams' adventurers turned into wintersweet trees, which scared their companions.
"I don't dare to explore anymore. What's the use of having more magic crystals if I'm going to die?" Baolu Mo stopped moving forward. He decided to go back to where he came from and wait for everyone to return. Anyway, he had made a contribution by leading the way, and he would definitely have a share when the treasures were distributed. There was no need to move forward.
"You shouldn't be called the Treasure Road Demon, you should be called the Coward Demon!" The Drunken Demon sneered and passed through the gaps in the winter plum blossoms.
"Explorers have been to this cemetery before, otherwise why would there be a forest of wintersweet?" Chris said to Avril, "These densely packed wintersweet trees are the corpses of past adventurers."
"You have a point. The route map we have was also left by our ancestors." Avril nodded. "But I suspect the treasure in the middle area still exists."
