Chapter 169 Accidentally Entering Forbidden Land
After the group turned onto that road, the demons that had been rampaging around as if they wanted to destroy everything suddenly and deliberately avoided them.
Although the number of demons was large, given their speed, they disappeared from the sight of the Nationalist team members in no time.
Once the yellow sand dissipated, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Nan Jue in the group frowned, her face showing no sign of relaxation, and said, "Something's strange."
"What's so strange?" Zhao Manyan was holding a small mirror in his hand, fixing his hair.
The wind is so strong, it's messed up my hairstyle!
After escaping danger, Zhao Manyan returned to his reliable self.
He stood beside Mo Fan, exuding an aura of impending danger and a "brother goes first" attitude.
This time, Mo Fan wouldn't trust him even a little bit, and distanced himself slightly from his good brother who had run away first.
"How could such a large group of demons not sense our presence?" Nan Jue asked.
After she said that, everyone realized what she meant.
Yes!
In the wild, when demons smell the scent of humans, they can't wait to cook up a pot of oil, prepare all the ingredients, and have a good feast.
But the demons in the yellow sand ignored them and simply went around them.
No one doubted that among those thousands of demons, not one could sense their presence.
If this possibility truly exists, then this demon race is not far from extinction.
With that level of perception, they wouldn't even get a share of soup in the wild!
"Then there are only two possibilities: either they are too busy to take care of themselves, or there is a problem here." As a hunter, Mo Fan was one of the more experienced members of the team.
"They don't seem to be in the first situation," Mu Nujiao said after a moment of contemplation.
"Great! This place is definitely not simple." Mo Fan clapped his hands, a hint of excitement on his face, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation.
As if they had discovered a treasure, they immediately drew a conclusion.
At this moment, Hua Yu, who had kept his eyes closed since entering this awful place, slowly opened them, as if he had just woken up.
He glanced around at his surroundings and said, "There seem to be words over there."
Upon hearing this, everyone else couldn't help but look in the direction he was pointing.
Not far in front of them, there was something that looked like a sign.
It looks weathered and worn, as if it has been through countless storms, but you can still make out some strange symbols and characters engraved on it.
Nan Jue had some knowledge of these ancient scripts. She approached the sign, observed it carefully, and then began to translate it for everyone.
"This is a restricted area; outsiders are prohibited from entering," Nan Jue said somewhat seriously.
"Well"
Upon hearing the word "restricted area," Zhao Manyan paused for a moment, then suggested without hesitation, "Since it's their restricted area, let's not cause them any more trouble and let's leave quickly."
His righteous and indignant demeanor made Mo Fan think he was a kind and considerate person if he didn't know him well.
"Tch, I think you're just a coward," Guan Yu said with some disdain.
Although both are substitutes, these two have no intention of teaming up.
They start bickering at the slightest disagreement.
"Oh, if you're so capable, then you lead the way. Anyway, you're a wind mage, so you have to go first." Zhao Manyan shook his head and looked at Guan Yu with a smile.
Should we go first?
That won't do!
Being a substitute yourself, unable to get resources, and having to scout ahead for these people as cannon fodder—anyone who does that is a fool.
Guan Yu understood immediately, quickly stood next to Zhao Manyan, coughed lightly, and said, "Ahem... everyone, I also think this is someone else's place, it's not right for us to trespass."
There were quite a few people in the group who wanted to leave, but there were also those who wanted to explore.
"Since it's a forbidden area, there might be some good treasures inside. Why don't we go in and take a look?" Jiang Yu asked tentatively.
"I think it's a good idea, Lao Zhao, let's go for it!" Mo Fan said excitedly.
He had to take care of several departments and support an expensive daughter, so he was really short of money.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not going. You guys go yourselves!"
Before Zhao Manyan could reply to Mo Fan, Nan Rongni was the first to stand up and voice her opposition.
"Then let's just listen to our captain."
Jiang Shaoxu smiled and looked directly at Hua Yu.
Wherever he goes, she goes.
Bai Yimo shared the same idea as him.
Immediately, the arguing crowd stopped and looked at Hua Yu, awaiting his decision.
Hua Yu thought for a moment. The group had already stepped into this forbidden area, and in his estimation, it was too late to turn back now.
Hua Yu had not detected any trace of the person who stole the treasure in his senses.
Since this unwarranted disaster of being implicated by others has already occurred, wouldn't it be a complete loss not to go in and take a look?
Thinking of this, Hua Yu said, "Then let's go in and take a look."
Since the captain had spoken, even if the others didn't want to go in, they had no choice but to follow Guan Yu's lead and head forward.
This road will also lead to everyone's destination, but it will take an extra day or two.
As long as there is something to gain, a day or two is nothing to the monks.
As a result, apart from some ancient characters that were difficult to understand, there was nothing special along the way.
Even with Hua Yu's keen senses, one can only discern the outlines of the Nazca Lines if not viewed from a high vantage point.
Despite this, the journey was far from boring for everyone.
Every now and then, strange bird-like demons with emerald green bodies and blue wings would appear and attack the group.
At first, those strange birds were not very strong, nor were there many of them. Only one or two people in the team were needed to deal with them.
But as time went on, the number of those strange birds increased, and more and more people in the team took action.
The group had no interest in continuing to study those worthless ancient texts, so they had no choice but to leave this forbidden area.
Having just escaped from that strange forbidden area, Hua Yu suddenly stopped and turned to the group, saying, "Wait for me here!"
Without elaborating further, he vanished from everyone's sight in the next second, surrounded by a flash of silver light.
"Brother Xiaoyu!"
"this?"
Everyone looked at each other, completely bewildered as to what Hua Yu was about to do.
"I think the captain must have discovered something," Nan Jue guessed.
"Should we go back?" Guan Yu asked.
"If you're not afraid of death, you can go back and take a look."
