"My Lord, why don't you go in with your team leader?" Wang Yiming couldn't help but suggest.

"No, I want to do it myself. You can't slack off while you continue to watch them clean up the town at wanhekou. Especially those who suddenly get sick must be handled according to the process agreed by us, but nothing can go wrong. Understand?"

"I see."

Shen Hao was puzzled. He was curious about the mystery of the encrypted map hidden by the Xu family. Naturally, he wanted to see it with his own eyes. Moreover, going to the front line to explore in person and taking command are two different things. Since we have done it, we must be perfect.

Shen Hao led his own team, including two local Xuanqing guards, 50 soldiers of the black flag camp in fengri City, 50 thousand family guards and two doctors.

After walking down the official road for an hour, I saw the beginning of the line on the map, a mountain depression. The obvious feature is that the depression is crescent shaped.

In fact, it is not far from Xiushan village. If you leave the village, it will be more than 20 miles.

"Remember to make a mark along the road so that you don't get lost." although there was a guide and promised to "come out with your eyes closed", Shen Hao said uneasily,

The soldiers of the black flag camp in fengri City hurriedly thought that many of them had been in the army, and some means of marching in the field would still be available.

For example, peel off the bark and engrave words.

It's safe all the way. Even the beasts in the mountain won't jump out when so many people enter the mountain. Their instinct will let them avoid disaster.

However, there is no road in the mountains, and the vegetation is dense. We must open a way, so the speed is very slow. Shen Hao also divided the former and the latter three teams for safety reasons, one team was pressed, one team explored before, and one team was in the middle dispatching. This cautious approach naturally slows down the pace of progress.

After walking for two hours, the sky began to darken.

"Sir, we should be here by now," the guide said to Shen Hao, pointing to a small paragraph on a rubbing map. I walked less than one third of the path on the map this afternoon.

"Speed up tomorrow, but you should pay attention not to relax. Go down and have a rest."

Shen Hao doesn't need to worry about the alert. He has his own small tent and others sleep in the open.

The next day, we continued the mountain road. The speed was faster than yesterday. In the afternoon, we came to the node where the spies were confused by the map.

"If you go further, you'll be where the spies haven't been before. There may be some traps. Everyone should be vigilant. If you find anything around, you'll be warned immediately."

Because Shen Hao judged that the basket of Ghost Head pears in the Xu family was picked somewhere in front of this, and the Ghost Head pears did not grow in Shandi. He could not tell what dangers were hidden in it, and the source of the plague might be in front, so he didn't dare to be careless.

Sure enough, after crossing the folded line on the map, the atmosphere on the mountain road became not so normal. Strange ghost trees began to appear in the lush forest. Most of the rocks on the ground were sharp like knives. Even the soil became dark. It seemed like mud when you stepped on it?

"Hiss!"

"Shua!"

The sergeant who opened the road in front cut off a black snake suddenly shot from the grass. Its head was triangular and its fangs were inch long. It was estimated that it would peel off if it didn't die.

"Agkistrodon halys. Is there such a snake here?"

A doctor was quite surprised to see the corpse of Zhang long snake handed back by the spies in front, because this black pit viper is also a kind of alchemy material, and its venom is a drug introduction of top-grade poison pill.

"This kind of snake is usually found in barbarian places. It is rarely seen in the territory of the Jingjiu Dynasty. I didn't expect it to grow here."

"It's very strange here. The originally vibrant forests around have become gloomy and scattered, and there are many ghost trees and the soil is as black as pulp. This area shouldn't appear here. It's, it's unreasonable..."

Friars who know a little bit about the means of earth will be confused by the current regional situation. Obviously, it is a landscape of good mountains and good water, but suddenly the wind changes, and it changes rapidly from "good mountains and good water" to "gloomy and strange". There is not even a trace of excessive terrain in the middle, which is strange.

Shen Hao raised the alert again and told everyone that he had entered a high-risk area and that he could not take any trouble lightly.

After walking for another half an hour, Shen Hao found that the Yin Qi here was getting heavier and heavier. Even the surrounding vegetation had an inexplicable sense of oppression, and he always felt that he was staring at them.

"Stop moving! The front and rear teams spread for two miles to search. In case of threat, they will be annihilated!" Shen Hao decided not to be busy going in first. Let's see the situation. The terrain change here makes him very depressed.

No one thinks Shen Hao's caution is wrong. They all have the same feeling as Shen Hao. Those who lean on the periphery of the team even don't need to shout have pulled out their weapons to guard against each other.

Soon, the strangeness of this place opened Shen Hao's eyes again.

"Newspaper, I found three ghost pears! All hung fruit!"

"Newspaper, I found a strange tree that can move, attacking us!"

"Newspaper, I found a strange beast..."

Spread the search, but there are warnings coming back in a mere two miles. But fortunately, the risk is not high. A group of people can deal with it easily with many people.

Shen Hao went to see the three ghost pears first. It is five or six meters high, with lush branches and leaves. You can smell an attractive aroma of fruits close. Looking at the golden fruits the size of fists between the leaves, people are salivating.

"Sir, there are traces of climbing on this tree." an army soldier came to report.

Shen Hao walked over to have a look. Indeed, there were some obvious scratches on the trunk of a ghost pear. It didn't seem to be caused by the claws of wild animals. It should be caused by stepping on the shoes. Moreover, when he looked up, he could see that some branches had been broken.

The Xu family picked the ghost pear here?

There is a map that shows that the Xu family knows the strangeness here, so it should not be a mistake to come in, but a purpose to come in, for these ghost pears?

Shen Hao asked the doctors in the team before. Ghost pear is very rare in Jingxi, so it is difficult to buy in the market and the price is very high. So will the Xu family come in for money?

"Watch out and keep going."

Shen Hao frowned and gave the order to continue to explore. Looking at the map in hand, at this time, their position is only two-thirds of the whole journey. At the current speed, it is impossible to reach the red dot marked on the map today.

This is much slower than Shen haolai expected, and it's hard to say whether there will be any danger when sleeping out tonight. After all, there seem to be two worlds inside and outside.
