In the deep night, a gurgling stream was running and the sound was very crisp.
Li Ping'an came to the stream and pretended to fetch water. After carefully observing his surroundings and finding that there was nothing unusual, he quickly disappeared into the night in a flash.
Over the past few days, with the accumulation in Team 97, although Li Ping'an's strength had not improved too much, he had risen to a higher level in other aspects, including his battle experience, his understanding of the wilderness, his use of common sense knowledge in the wilderness, and his perception of life.
At this time, he had already arranged the retreat route and the opportunity had already appeared. He, Li Ping'an, was an extremely daring person, so how could he waste such an opportunity?
Swoosh!
In the deep night, Li Ping'an was like a swift and nimble cheetah traveling among the lofty mountains quickly almost without a sound.
If any of the spectators who used to be in Lanhai City's Underground Alliance Arena saw Li Ping'an's face at this time, they would definitely recognize him at a glance.
He was the Bull Demon King who had disappeared for a long time!
Li Ping'an was also very familiar with the Minotaur mask, which gave him another identity.
From the moment he left the camp, Wang Yuan and Daniu disappeared. Instead, the Bull Demon King returned!
A few minutes later, Li Ping'an had already gone 20-odd kilometers deep in the blank coordinate zone. He could faintly see that there were many flames around.
However, Li Ping'an's current understanding of the wilderness could not be mentioned in the same breath as what it had been before.
The landing points he chose were all tricky and remote areas, unless he was so unlucky that he directly ran into a top expert.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult for ordinary people to find his trace, even if they were in the later period of the Awakening Stage.
Even if he encountered top experts, Li Ping'an still had the confidence to deal with them. He could quickly escape into the mysterious stone space to hide.
These days, Li Ping'an had been carefully studying if the mysterious stone space had any other function, and he regularly fed the mysterious stone mark on his chest with Nutrition Drop and fruits.
Unfortunately, except for the finding that the effect of the mysterious pool water seemed to have increased slightly and he was able to get into the mysterious stone space more freely, Li Ping'an did not make much progress as for the rest at the moment.
Not long after, he advanced a dozen kilometers. The flames were even denser, almost forming a continuous area.
Obviously, this was the place where the main forces of giant financial group allied forces camped.
Li Ping'an also came to a steep mountain to have a brief rest.
Previously, he had stayed in Team 97 because he wanted to observe carefully the degree to which the fierce beasts in the mountains could accept the allied forces of the giant financial groups.
At this time, the result was obvious. Although there were some twists and turns, there seemed to be no strong resistance.
How could Li Ping'an be content with bringing up the rear and admiring their "masterpiece" of advancing cautiously like swarms of ants?
After observing the campsite for a while and finding that there was nothing unusual, Li Ping'an looked at the deeper parts of the mountain and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Could it be that this blank coordinate zone is the place where Wudang Mountain's main peak was located?"
Previously, during his slow and steady journey, Li Ping'an had been deducing the general picture.
With Zhang Hongqiang and the others' information, Li Ping'an became even clearer about the secrets in the depths of the mountains.
It had been several decades since Wudang Mountain "disappeared".
Of course, this didn't mean that the great Wudang Mountain, the sacred land of Taoism and the lofty mountain that ruled the world, had truly disappeared, but that over the years, no one had found the place where Wudang Mountain's main peak was located in those days.
The same was true of other famous mountains and rivers, including Mount Tai, Mount Heng, Longhu Mountain, Kunlun Mountain and so on.
There were large blank coordinate zones in these towering divine mountains.
Except for some coordinates that human beings could occasionally find by luck, in the depths of the mountains, blank coordinate zones almost occupied most of the mountains and rivers.
And after that terrifying great variation, the changes would probably be even more obvious.
After a short rest, Li Ping'an went to several more places to explore the campsite of the main forces around him.
With his current eyesight, he distinguished the specific sections of the campsite quickly.
When Li Ping'an arrived at Tiangang team, which was at the periphery of Dongyue Energy Group's camp area, he looked at the situation more carefully.
"Judging from the number of tents, the number of them has decreased quite a bit. Many elites must have entered the mountain to explore the way."
"I wonder whether Liu Qingyao and Li Chengqian have entered or not..."
Li Ping'an frowned slightly, but soon his brows became smooth again.
Although Wan Feng was the legitimate son of Wan Shanhe, he was only a little beyond the interim of the Awakening Stage. He was just a dandy, and Li Ping'an really did not take him seriously.
But Li Ping'an definitely could not neglect Li Chengqian and Liu Qingyao.
However, even if Li Ping'an was displeased with Wan Family and Liu Family, he would obviously not make a move at this time.
He was not strong enough to defeat the main force of Tiangang team. Moreover, these giant financial groups were united at the moment. If he acted rashly in this place, he would become the enemy of them all.
How could he be so stupid?
Li Ping'an already had a general idea of the main forces of the giant financial group allied forces in his mind, so he didn't waste any more time here. "Swoosh!" He directly went deeper into the mountain to explore.
...
It was indeed difficult for others to travel at night in such a big mountain, but Li Ping'an was no stranger to it with his previous experience in Taihang Mountain.
In particular, his eyesight wasn't affected by the night, and his perception was even greater than during the day. Naturally, there were no obstacles for him.
After Li Ping'an had been suffering for so long, it was time for him to reap the rewards!
More than an hour later, Li Ping'an had already been more than a hundred kilometers deep in this blank coordinate zone. He discovered quite a few small strongholds of giant financial group forces around. Most of them were in teams of three to five people. They should be the elite scouts of the giant financial group allied forces.
However, Li Ping'an also found that along the way, there were auras of powerful beasts, which were at the interim of the Awakening Stage, or even at the later period of the Awakening Stage. They all seemed to be very interested in these small strongholds.
In particular, there were several groups of red-haired monkeys that were eyeing these small strongholds with hostility.
Obviously, this was already a territory that involved the true interests of the beasts, and they seemed to be less friendly towards these humans.
At this time, Li Ping'an no longer moved forward rashly.
It was silly to wander around without a precise target like a headless chicken.
At this moment, Li Ping'an already had a certain degree of understanding of the behavior of these red-haired monkeys. He knew very well what these monkeys would do.
Soon, Li Ping'an found another group of strong red-haired monkeys. There were nearly thirty of them.
What a coincidence!
The one in the lead was the old monkey that Li Ping'an had seen before by the side of the lotuses at Pigeon Tower Reservoir. It had white eyebrows and was at the interim of the Awakening Stage.
Obviously, the old monkey had got rid of the psychological shadow of being defeated at Pigeon Tower Reservoir before. Not only did its subordinates not weaken, but they also became much stronger than before.
At this time, they were aiming at a team of Xiangyun Gene. They almost stood round in a circle, surrounding this team that was still unaware of the impending danger.
In fact, this team of Xiangyun Gene was very vigilant. It seemed that they had a lot of information about the mountains. Two experts at the interim of the Awakening Stage were on night duty.
However, obviously, they did not understand the vicious means of these red-haired monkeys clearly. They did not notice that these red-haired monkeys, which were draped in leaves and almost integrated with the darkness of night, were already approaching them like Death.
"Roar.!"
Low, deep and terrifying beast roars could be faintly heard from the mountain. The two experts on night duty, who were at the interim of the Awakening Stage, were obviously somewhat afraid and nervous.
Moreover, Li Ping'an noticed that they were both slightly injured. It seemed that they had already fought before.
However, Li Ping'an also noticed that there seemed to be some... magic in the mountain.
The beast roars that could be heard clearly seemed to have been swallowed up by this deep night, and a lot of them were swept away.
"Damn it! Could it be that the night had the ability to devour sounds?"
Li Ping'an was also somewhat horrified.
However, he was more than a thousand meters away from the unlucky team of Xiangyun Gene at this time. He was also five or six hundred meters away from these cunning and sinister red-haired monkeys. There was no dangerous aura around him, so he was pretty safe.
"Don't think so much about it for now. After these red-haired monkeys make their move, I'll catch a captive and obtain some information first."
For Li Ping'an, no matter how terrifying or strange things happened in the mountain at this time, he could accept it.
Because he had a sense of reverence for this mountain, and he also knew how to be in harmony with the mountain instead of going against the trend.
Li Ping'an hadn't waited long before these red-haired monkeys made their move.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In the blink of an eye, many strong and vigorous figures charged straight towards the camp of this unlucky team of Xiangyun Gene, holding various human weapons in their hands like troops charging forward.
A fight was imminent!
The two experts on night duty, who were at the interim of the Awakening Stage, were the first to react. They fought with the cold weapons and firearms in their hands at the same time and called out to their companions to get prepared for the enemies.
Unfortunately, even if they were not weak, they lacked real opportunities and had not gone through the baptism of real Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Not to mention Li Ping'an and Zhang Hongqiang, even if they fought with Yan Li and Zhang Xiaojing, they were still unable to win.
Although their strength was great, their speed and neural response were obviously lacking in agility.
Li Ping'an estimated that even the captain, who was the strongest of the five, only had a speed of about 160, and the others' speed did not even reach 150.
"Ratatata..."
However, their firearms were very powerful, and they quickly killed five or six red-haired monkeys.
However, they also aroused the anger and killing intent of these red-haired monkeys, which charged with all their might while baring their teeth.
The fight quickly escalated.
As the distance between them was quickly shortened, their advantage of firearms was quickly devoured by the red-haired monkeys. The fight began to evolve into the cruelest melee combat.
The smell of blood quickly rose to the sky.
Seeing this, Li Ping'an raised his eyebrows and pinched his nose quite hard.
Had the big mountain decided to launch a counterattack against humans?
