68 Terrain Change, Separate Action

Sensing the attack of the Black Spot Leopard behind him, Lu Yan raised his eyebrows and directly waved the Black Bone Scythe in his hand backward.

A cold light flickered as the Black Bone Scythe directly slashed across the bodies of the three Black Spot Leopards and instantly killed them.

The remaining two Black Spot Leopards were blocked by the two skeleton elites that appeared beside Lu Yan before being killed by Lu Yan one by one.

A team with good cooperation was still able to deal with such demon beasts with ease.

In front, Liu Fengyan looked behind him and smiled.

To be able to kill five Black Spot Leopards so easily proved that Lu Yan's strength was not only limited to his four attributes on the surface. His combat awareness and combat ability were also very powerful.

The corpses of the Black Spot Leopards were not very useful. The few of them did not collect any materials. Lu Yan put away the corpses of the three Black Spot Leopards Liu Fengyan had killed as well as the two that he had killed himself.

No one had any questions. After all, Lu Yan was an undead-type and it was very normal for him to collect corpses.

The team continued forward. The remaining three Black Spot Leopards' corpses behind Lu Yan trembled. Then, the flesh on their bodies disappeared, turning into dry bones that disappeared into the ground.

It was unknown if it was because killing these Black Spot Leopards was intimidating or because this was the entrance to the Black Fog Forest, but Lu Yan and the others did not encounter a second wave of demon attacks until the entrance of the Yin Wind Mountain Stream.

At this moment, Lu Yan and the others had arrived at a mountain stream. They were surrounded by a dense forest and had steep rock walls on both sides. The entire mountain stream was huge and long.

It was a long river that divided the entire mountain into two.

Liu Fengyan checked the map and pointed ahead. "According to the map in the file, the location should be about a thousand meters ahead. It's not deep into the Yin Wind Mountain Stream and is relatively safe."

"By the way, most of the demon beasts in the Yin Wind Mountain Stream are between level 15 and 30. There shouldn't be any demon beasts above level 20 in the first half. Everyone, don't worry too much."

"However, we still have to be careful. We can't let our guard down."

Many students from the Golden Corner Academy died in the wilderness every year, so Liu Fengyan knew that it was better to be careful.

Lu Yan and the others nodded and directly entered the Yin Wind Mountain Stream in front of them.

A cold wind howled in the mountain stream, but even the fierce wind could not blow away the surrounding black fog.

This black fog seemed to be settling down and becoming denser in the Yin Wind Mountain Stream.

Liu Fengyan brought the few of them far away from the river and advanced along the side. There might be relatively dangerous demon beasts in the river. If not for the lack of water, it was best not to approach the larger river.

This was the experience summarized by the blood of his predecessors.

After carefully walking forward for a while, everyone felt somewhat strange. They did not encounter a single demon around.

"Strange, although there aren't as many demon beasts in the Yin Wind Mountain Stream as in the Black Fog Forest, it shouldn't be possible for us not to encounter a single one, right?"

"I keep feeling that the surroundings are dark. Is there a situation here?"

"Don't scare yourself. After all, this place is not deep into the Yin Wind Mountain Stream. It's normal for there to be no demon beasts."

The few of them communicated and continued walking in. They were already here, so it was impossible for them to retreat just because of the surrounding situation.

A thousand meters was still relatively easy for the few of them to cross. Soon, they arrived at the place where the Sword Dao team was wiped out on the map.

Seeing the scene in front of them, Lu Yan and the others were stunned.

Two long and narrow cracks appeared on the hill on both sides in front of him. The surrounding soil was very moist and filled the ground in front of him.

The mountain on this side and the mountain on the other side of the river had both suffered a landslide. A large amount of soil was left on the hill and was about to pile into the river.

No wonder he did not see any demon beasts. The mountain terrain on both sides shifted and directly blocked the Yin Wind Mountain Stream in front of him.

If they wanted to pass through here, they had to cross the mud torrent in front of him or pass through the river.

"I don't think we're able to pass, right?" Hu Feng looked at the towering mud torrent in front of him and said.

Liu Fengyan nodded. "We probably can't pass here. If we want to pass, we have to go from above or cross a section of the river."

"Now, there are two pieces of news, one good and one bad. Which do you want to hear first?"

Zhang Li frowned and said, "Hurry up and tell me. There's no time to guess now."

Liu Fengyan smiled awkwardly and then said, "The good news is that the place we're looking for is not behind the partition. It's around here. There's no need to spend any effort to cross here."

"The bad news is that the surrounding terrain has changed and will cause a serious obstruction to our search."

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows and asked Liu Fengyan, "How did we search for the sword pill? We can't just search aimlessly, right?"

Liu Fengyan took out a detector and said, "If there's a sword pill, it should be on that sword master. This detector can detect an item on him within ten meters. I've prepared one for each of you."

"Moreover, according to the file, the last place they were seen was in a cave."

"Originally, it would have been easier to search from the cave. However, I didn't expect a landslide to happen and the surrounding terrain to change."

"Is there a specific location? For example, here or at the river?" Lu Yan continued to ask.

Liu Fengyan shook his head. "There's no specific location. If there was, we wouldn't have the opportunity to search."

"The general area is here. We still need to find the specific location."

Lu Yan pondered for a moment when he heard this. Then, he pointed at the cracks that appeared on both sides and said, "The mountain terrain has shifted, and cracks have appeared on both sides. Since it's possible for it to be on both sides of the river, I think it's better to move separately and explore both sides. This way, the speed will be faster."

Zhang Li frowned and said, "Separating will increase the danger, right?"

This was the wilderness after all. It was safest for the team to be together.

Lu Yan said, "The mountain here is very unstable and there's a possibility of another landslide. At that time, if the terrain changes again, finding the sword pill will probably be like finding a needle in a haystack."

"The gaps in the mountains on both sides shouldn't be very deep. We'll split into two teams and quickly investigate. This is the best solution for now. If we miss the opportunity, we'll probably miss the sword pill."

Hearing Lu Yan's words, the surrounding people pondered.

"Lu Yan is right. It's indeed better to explore separately. Moreover, there are basically no demon beasts here. It won't be too dangerous," Liu Fengyan said.

"In that case, let's split up. However, how are we going to split the members?" Liu Yanyu asked.

The three of them definitely had to be together.

Lu Yan said, "You guys form a team. I'll do it myself. I'm very capable of protecting myself. Sending one or two people to follow me will only be a burden."

Lu Yan was telling the truth. Now that he had summoned the skeleton elite army, he could almost sweep through this place.

He also wanted to kill more demon beasts to fill up the numbers of his undead army.

Liu Fengyan hesitated for a moment, but then nodded and said, "Alright! It shouldn't take more than an hour. Let's set the time limit at an hour. In an hour, no matter what happens, we'll return here and meet up first."

Everyone nodded. Lu Yan's four attributes were extremely high and his combat strength was very powerful. There was naturally no need to worry.

Moreover, it was only an hour of exploration. There would not be any problem.

Liu Fengyan gave Lu Yan a detector and prepared to cross the river with the others.

Lu Yan was already alone, so he naturally could not risk crossing the river.

Lu Yan did not hesitate. He picked up the detector and entered the crack on his right to investigate.

He walked and stopped along the way. The detector in his hand did not make any sound.

After walking for half an hour, Lu Yan still did not discover anything. There were not even any demon beasts around.

Something seemed to be wrong.

Lu Yan frowned and prepared to quickly investigate. If he could not find it, he would retreat first.

There were no demon beasts around, making Lu Yan somewhat flustered.

After walking in for another ten minutes, Lu Yan stopped.

Lu Yan touched the water droplets on his face and raised his head.

It was raining.
