Chapter 820: Wuyang Mountain
Yun Youzi took a few steps forward and helped the old man up:
"Please get up, old man, but it doesn't matter."
"I wonder what happened to your granddaughter?"
The old man stood up tremblingly, his eyes full of grief:
"My granddaughter...she...she was captured by a monster!"
Zhang Hui and Li Yang looked at each other and saw alertness in each other's eyes.
Since the first confrontation with the man in black robes, similar things have indeed happened one after another during this period.
But when ordinary people encounter this kind of thing, they usually go to Zhou Mu and others to solve it.
How could this guy have come here directly without someone else's introduction?
Yun Youzi asked in a deep voice:
"Old man, can you tell me in detail what happened?"
The old man nodded and began to tell:
"Three days ago in the evening, my granddaughter and I were collecting herbs in the mountains."
"Suddenly, a strange black mist floated in the sky."
"Wherever the mist passed, the vegetation withered and the birds and animals scattered."
"My granddaughter and I ran down the mountain when we saw something was wrong."
"But..."
When the old man said this, his voice was choked with sobs.
"The speed of the fog was so fast that it quickly caught up with us."
"I watched helplessly as my granddaughter was wrapped in black mist, and then...then disappeared!"
Li Yang frowned and said:
"Black mist? Is it that guy's fault again?"
Yun Youzi pondered for a moment and asked the old man:
"So...which mountain did you encounter this situation on?"
The old man pointed to the southeast:
"It's Wuyang Mountain over there."
Yun Youzi frowned slightly when he heard this.
He turned to Li Yang and Zhang Hui:
"Wuyang Mountain... is one of the suspicious locations we just discussed."
Zhang Hui nodded: "It seems that the man in black robe is indeed doing something there."
Yunyouzi said to the old man:
"In that case, don't worry."
"We will definitely try our best to find your granddaughter."
The old man was overjoyed when he heard this and kowtowed:
"Thank you, Immortal! Thank you, Immortal!"
After settling the old man, the three gathered together again to discuss countermeasures.
Li Yang said:
"Now that it has been determined that there is something abnormal in Wuyang Mountain, should we go to investigate immediately?"
Zhang Hui has a different view:
"But there are several other locations where we can't let our guard down."
"What if the man in black robe deliberately leads us to Wuyang Mountain and then acts elsewhere?"
Yunyouzi thought for a moment and said:
"In that case, why not let's act separately."
"I will go to Wuyang Mountain to investigate, and you two will go to several other locations to investigate together."
"If any abnormality is discovered, notify others immediately through the messenger."
Li Yang and Zhang Hui both nodded in agreement.
After the three made simple preparations, they set off separately.
Yunyouzi headed towards Wuyang Mountain alone, while Li Yang and Zhang Hui went to several other suspicious locations together.
Yunyouzi walked quickly and soon arrived at the foot of Wuyang Mountain.
Looking from a distance, the entire mountain is shrouded in a faint layer of black mist, giving people an eerie and eerie feeling.
Yunyouzi cautiously approached the foot of the mountain and carefully observed the surrounding situation.
Sure enough, as the old man said, the grass and trees at the foot of the mountain were all withered and dead.
Yunyouzi climbed up the mountain road cautiously, always alert to possible dangers.
Just as he was about to reach the mountainside, he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from ahead.
Yun Youzi immediately stopped and observed with bated breath.
I saw a cloud of black mist drifting over the mountain road. Wherever it passed, the stones on the ground became charred and cracked.
A dignified look flashed in Yunyouzi's eyes.
He whispered to himself:
"Sure enough, there is something strange... It seems that the man in black robe has arranged something here."
He carefully avoided the black fog and continued climbing up the mountain.
As he continued to go deeper, Yun Youzi found that the black fog on the mountain was getting thicker and thicker, and there was a smell of decay in the air.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a faint cry coming from not far away.
Yunyouzi stopped alertly and listened carefully.
The cry was intermittent and sounded like the voice of a young woman.
"Is she the old man's granddaughter?"
Yunyouzi thought to himself.
He carefully followed the sound and soon stopped in front of a cave.
The cry came from the cave.
Yun Youzi took a deep breath and slowly walked into the cave.
In the dim light, he saw a young woman huddled in a corner sobbing.
Yunyouzi said softly:
"Girl, are you okay?"
The woman heard the sound and raised her head suddenly.
When she saw Yun Youzi's face clearly, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"You...are a human?"
"Are you here to save me?"
the woman asked shakily.
Yunyouzi nodded:
"That's right. Your grandfather asked me to find you."
The woman was overjoyed when she heard this and was about to stand up when her face suddenly changed and she pointed behind Yun Youzi in horror:
"Master, be careful!"
Yunyouzi turned around suddenly and saw a huge black mist pouring in from the entrance of the cave, covering the entire cave in the blink of an eye.
Yun Youzi quickly created a light curtain to protect himself and the woman.
The black mist hit the light curtain and made a "chichi" sound, as if corroding the light curtain.
Yunyouzi's face was solemn. He could feel that the powerful force contained in the black fog was constantly eroding his defense.
At this critical moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the cave:
"Hehe..."
"You really don't take the road to heaven, and you insist on breaking into hell."
Then, a figure in a black robe slowly walked out of the black fog.
The person who came was the man in black robe!
Yunyouzi said in a deep voice:
"It's you who are playing tricks."
The man in black robe sneered:
"Yes... This is the altar I set up."
"With the help of the special terrain of this mountain, I can realize my plan faster."
Yunyouzi asked:
"What do you want to do? Why do you want to catch this girl?"
The man in black robe said contemptuously:
"She? It's just a bait."
"I know you will come to investigate, so I set up this situation on purpose, waiting for you to fall into the trap."
Sure enough, as Zhang Hui guessed.
This is a trap.
But now there is no way out, he must find a way to escape.
Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the cave.
Then, Li Yang and Zhang Hui appeared at the entrance of the cave.
Li Yang's voice sounded from there:
"This place has been blocked. No matter who is inside, you have no way to escape!"
"I advise you to be honest and surrender obediently."
"Otherwise, don't blame the sword for being blind!"
The black-robed man seemed a little surprised, but soon regained his composure:
"Hehe... just in time! Let's solve it together!"
As he said that, he waved his hands, and more black fog came from all directions, covering the entire cave.
Li Yang and Zhang Hui quickly rushed to Yun Youzi's side, and the three stood back to back, looking at the surrounding black fog vigilantly.
