Chapter 677 Vanguard Camp

Chapter 677: Forward Battalion

Things went against expectations. Ye Xiaochuan didn't want to get involved, so he came to his door.

Senior Brother divided the team into two parts. The first part is the so-called vanguard force, which consists of nine people including Ye Xiaochuan, Yang Shijiu, Zhao Wuji, Baili Yuan, Yamashita Zhishu, Ouyang Caiyu, Chang Xiaoman, etc. Formed, Ye Xiaochuan looked at it and saw that there were only three disciples from the Cangyun Sect, and the other six were all expatriate disciples. All the expatriate disciples in the team were gathered into the forward camp.

The vanguard battalion had no other job, but to avoid everyone's eyes and ears, and arrive at the abandoned earth city in the desert that was not even marked on the map within seven days. By the way, they would record the sects of the demon sect disciples they met along the way. , number of people, etc.

As for what the large force behind them will do and what tasks they have, Gu Jianchi did not say.

Ye Xiaochuan didn't want to be a pioneer. He wanted to follow the masters like Gu Jianchi and Yun Qiyou honestly, but Gu Jianchi refused to agree to anything, saying that this was already planned and could not be changed.

This is a bit unreasonable, and Ye Xiaochuan's heart feels cold. Fishing requires bait, and Ye Xiaochuan feels that he is the bait now.

Seeing that things must be done, Ye Xiaochuan could only do the next best thing and want to win the leadership position of captain of the forward battalion.

As a result, he was rejected by the senior brother again. The captain was Zhao Wuji, Bailiyuan got a deputy captain position, and Ye Xiaochuan got nothing.

Bailiyuan laughed proudly, patted the crying Ye Xiaochuan, and said, "You must listen to me from now on, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

The nine members of the forward battalion set out first, flying at low altitude almost close to the hills in the night. This place is very close to Kunlun Mountain, and the power of the Demon Sect is not here. The reason why everyone flies so low is to avoid the formation of the magic weapon's glorious light. The tail flame was discovered by Xuantian Sect disciples stationed dozens of miles away.

After flying at low altitude for more than an hour and having flown at least two hundred miles, captain Zhao Wuji ordered to increase the altitude and gallop towards the distant west.

Three days later, in the desert.

There are many city-states in the Western Regions. Wherever the Peacock River flows, you can always see cities with earthen walls. This place actually does not lack vitality, and desertification is not too serious. The main force of the Demonic Cult is entrenched here.

The situation is different further west. In the desert, where even Populus euphratica and Haloxylon ammodendron do not grow, it is a forbidden land for humans, a place abandoned by the gods. There is no water, no life, not even the extremely tenacious gerbils and Scorpions, lizards, and cobras were not to be found.

The golden sea of ​​sand is boundless, and the occasional blowing sand and dust is thrown into the sky, making it a desolate place.

In the sand valley, hundreds of demon sect disciples dressed in black were cooking and enjoying the cool air. Looking at the flags and clothing, they were disciples of the Five Poison Sect of the demon sect. The sect leader Wan Duzi was also among them. The direction they were headed was exactly the same. direction of the temple.

On a sand dune not far away, a pair of eyes slowly opened from under the sand layer, and their dripping eyeballs kept turning.

"The Demon Cult hasn't noticed anything yet. A team of several hundred people doesn't even have a sentry. It's really a mess!"

Ye Xiaochuan muttered a few times and counted the number of disciples and masters of the Five Poison Sect in front of him. As a result, the disciples of the Five Poison Sect were walking around in the sand valley. He counted them several times before he could get a rough count.

There are quite a few acquaintances. In addition to Wan Duzi, Ye Xiaochuan also saw the outstanding figures of the younger generation of the Five Poison Sects such as Qinghui and Qingyan, as well as a dozen elders and masters of the Lingji Realm, all of whom seemed to have been in the ten years. I saw it on Duantian Cliff before.

Ye Xiaochuan was secretly surprised. The Five Poison Sect was not one of the five major factions of the Demon Sect. To participate in a temple conference, so many masters were dispatched. It was really powerful.

His body was completely buried under the sand, and he did not dare to move, for fear that the masters of the Five Poison Sect would discover his traces.

These people rested for less than two hours. At dusk, taking advantage of the cooler weather, they continued on their way, flying towards the northwest.

When they all flew out of sight, Ye Xiaochuan crawled out of the sand, shook his body violently to shake off the sand, then took out the wine gourd and poured it into his chapped lips. Then, he flew toward the southeast.

After flying less than fifty miles, we came to a small sandy valley and saw Baili Yuan and others cooking food under the gauze tent.

Seeing Ye Xiaochuan coming back, Bailiyuan said, "How was the reconnaissance?"

Ye Xiaochuan said angrily: "First officer, can you not send me on such dangerous missions in the future? I was almost discovered by those guys from the Five Poison Sect."

Yang Jiu immediately said: "Then I will go next time!"

Bailiyuan knocked her on the head and said: "Why are you so active? If you are asked to go, the reconnaissance has turned into a group fight. Your senior brother is the best suited to do this. He is most afraid of death. People who are afraid of death are always afraid of death." We are trying our best to survive, and we will never attack others easily. This place is deep into the desert, and further west is the bottom of the Jinsha Valley. The people of the Demon Cult did not expect that we would not find us if we went deep here. "

Ye Xiaochuan threw the number of people in the Five Poison Sect he had recorded to Zhao Wuji, and prepared to find a place to have a good rest. In the past three days, he had detected more than a dozen demon sect forces, large and small, heading towards the Savage Temple. Looking closer, there are dozens of disciples of the small group of demon sects. The group of Five Poison Sects encountered today is the largest, with a total of six to seven hundred people.

Zhao Wuji read the numbers on the note that Ye Xiaochuan threw over, took out a paper crane from his arms, used a cinnabar pen to write and draw on the paper crane, and then chanted a spell, and the paper crane suddenly shook. The wings seemed to come alive, and they flew away with a whoosh.

This is used by the Cangyun Sect to transmit information. The paper crane can fly thousands of miles away in half an hour. The speed is so fast that even the masters of cultivation cannot stop it.

The sky quickly darkened. Ye Xiaochuan lay in the sand valley, looking at the stars in the sky. There were so many stars, but Ye Xiaochuan quickly found the stars of Altair and Vega. Many years ago, Yun Qiyou had pointed them out to him. At that time, Ye Xiaochuan was pushed from behind by Xuanying and kissed Yun Qiyou fiercely.

Every time he saw Altair and Vega, Ye Xiaochuan would always think of the scene that happened in the pavilion in the back garden of the Pingxi Palace.

At this moment, Yun Qiyou was not looking at the stars. He was about a thousand miles away from Ye Xiaochuan and others, and was quietly following the group of disciples in Xuantian Sect for three days. Everything was normal.

All the external disciples in the team were arranged to the vanguard camp where Ye Xiaochuan was. The rest were elite disciples of the Cangyun Sect. Although everyone felt very strange why they had to follow the disciples of Xuantian Sect all the time, no one questioned it.
