The strong man was extremely tall and could be called a little giant, but at this moment he started talking incoherently like a child.

Xu Luo's eyes were extremely red, and the scenery in his sight was tinged with rime.

His delicate face subconsciously tried to squeeze out a smile, but he just forced the corners of his mouth a few times in embarrassment. He felt a soreness in his nose, and he quickly raised his head.

"Wang Peiran, you bastard, your body is as strong as a bear now. It seems that in the Baking Furnace Sect, you are still... ugh!"

Before he could finish his words, the giant man hugged him into his broad chest, leaving only a series of squeaks.

"I knew back then that you bastard would definitely come...really, you would definitely come!"

The giant man was none other than Wang Peiran, whose image had changed drastically. He was already tall, and as he practiced the Baking Furnace Sect's body-training technique, his figure grew as fast as blowing air. At this moment, he was hugging Xu Luo like a hug.

Like a little doll.

Xu Luo tried his best to struggle out of the pile of hard muscles, and he pushed Wang Peiran away angrily.

"You bastard, are you taking this opportunity to retaliate for the past... Damn, eh..."

Wang Peiran didn't listen to what he was saying at all, and took Xu Luo into his arms again. This time he murmured directly.

"It's great, it's great that our two brothers are finally reunited!"

Xu Luo, who was still struggling desperately, trembled slightly, suddenly stopped all movements, and allowed Wang Peiran to hold him in a posture that could easily be misunderstood.

After a long while, Wang Peiran, who seemed to be suffering from hysteria, finally regained some clarity, released the resentful Xu Luo from his arms, and asked about business.

"Xu Luo, how come you and Senior Brother Shanxin get together?"

When Xu Luo saw him winking at him while talking, he immediately realized that this was not the time to be obscene and pretended to be angry.

"I picked it up on the road. You, the young master, are so irresponsible that you can even leave your own brothers behind."

Upon hearing this, the look of surprise on Wang Peiran's face suddenly dimmed, and Xu Luo's heart skipped a beat, knowing that something must have happened.

Shan Xin, who had been watching the two laughing and laughing next to him, changed his expression greatly and subconsciously asked in a trembling voice.

"Junior brother, did something happen?"

Wang Peiran nodded sadly and sighed subconsciously.

"Junior Brother Shanxiu failed to escape!"

Shan Xin's expression froze, and his body suddenly began to tremble violently. After a long while, he spoke bitterly.

"Hey, if you take this path, this day will come sooner or later. But Junior Brother Shanxiu is the youngest among us, which is really a pity!"

Xu Luo didn't know Shanxiu, so to be honest, he couldn't empathize with him.

But my fellow apprentice was feeling miserable here, so it seemed inappropriate for him to just watch from the side, so he simply pretended to wave to the Xingshu Zhou next to him, signaling for the rest of the Begging Union to come down quickly.

Seeing outsiders appear, Wang Peiran quickly gathered his emotions and greeted the approaching people one by one. Xu Luo also briefly introduced them.

"First take me to see the secret place where your Baking Lu Sect is hiding!"

After seeing that everyone knew each other, Xu Luo looked curiously towards the hills at his feet. In his eyes, there was nothing unusual about these hills except for the few poisonous insects.

Wang Peiran and Shan Xin looked at each other, with a look of pride on their faces.

"Hehe, then don't make too much of a fuss. Let's go and have a look. Speaking of which, you, the Begging Union, are not outsiders either."

Wang Peiran laughed strangely and led everyone towards the back of the hill.

After a moment, a depression cut into pieces by the stream appeared in front of everyone. Wang Peiran stretched out his hand and threw out a square jade sign to block some of the gurgling water.

Suddenly, a wonderful scene appeared.

As the blocked water flow overflowed, a huge pattern gradually appeared on the ground. Just when Xu Luo, a scumbag, looked confused, the two sisters Yu Shenghua behind them had already screamed in surprise.

"Natural formation pattern!"

Others also showed horrified expressions. The so-called innate formation pattern does not actually mean that its power must be so powerful.

Rather, these lines are inherently useful and have no artificial qi mechanism. However, the self-generated restrictions are extremely difficult to discover. It can be said that they are rare.

Xu Luo didn't have the slightest expression of embarrassment, but instead stared with interest at the formation formed by the pure water flow.

"Is it because of this formation that you can completely disappear in this ghost place?"

Wang Peiran nodded subconsciously, but immediately a trace of fear flashed in his eyes and he laughed and cursed.

"Don't you think you can say something nice? This is Senior Tongtian's dojo, how can it be called a ghost place?"

Hearing this, Xu Luo subconsciously looked up at the sky above. He didn't say anything for a long time, but the smile on his face was a little weird, like reverence, but also a bit superficial.

Wang Peiran had known him since he was young and already knew him well. When he saw his expression, his heart suddenly jumped and he quickly put his arm around his shoulders.

"Let's go. I, the senior of the Baking Lu Sect, discovered this place by chance, and then renovated it a little. Now it has become a resting place for the trip to Shenmu Continent."

As he spoke, he strode towards the formation pattern.

"The area is a little small due to the array pattern, but although it's not comfortable enough, it's safe enough."

Xu Luo's perception was sharp, and he could clearly detect a vague fluctuation from the jade identification tag around his waist, which was vaguely connected to the formation pattern. He thought there must be some mysterious means involved.

But that should be the secret of his sect, and Xu Luo had no intention of delving into it.

The ripples of water beneath the two people's feet flickered, filling the entire depression in an instant. Everyone felt that all the scenery around them was changing rapidly, and finally they appeared in a stone cave filled with the sound of dripping water.

The cave was dimly lit, with only a faint white light coming from above. Xu Luo looked around and finally made a sound of surprise.

"Is this under the formation pattern just now?"

As soon as he entered here, Wang Peiran obviously felt much more relaxed. He pressed lightly on the stone wall a few times, and the dazzling white light illuminated the entire cave as bright as day.

"Exactly, everyone can find a place to rest by themselves. Please bear with me if the place is rough."

Indicating Shanxin to greet the others first, Wang Peiran turned around and waved to Xu Luo.

"We brothers just want to talk about what we have experienced over the years."

The cave is only about ten feet in diameter, but after everyone entered here, they didn't know if they felt sleepy, but they felt a sense of peace of mind in their hearts.

Seeing that Xu Luo and the others obviously had something to discuss, everyone took the opportunity to disperse in twos and threes, concentrating on adjusting their tired minds during this period of time.

When Xu Luo saw the tiredness in everyone's eyes, he casually threw Zhang Jing's note and silenced everyone around the stone table to avoid shock and worry.

Next, he briefly talked about his experiences in the past few years after the separation, and then asked Wang Peiran, what is the situation of the Baking Lu Sect now?

"Hey, I can only say that it's hard to describe..."

Wang Peiran didn't hide it from him, and spoke with emotion.

Ever since the Baklu Sect announced its closure, it has been a desperate move!

Unlike the Qihuo Alliance, which occupies an exclusive continent, the Mountain Gate of the Henglu Sect is located at the junction of Shenmu and Xihuang continents, but few people remember that the Henglu Sect was originally located on Shenmu Continent.

In recent years, as the alien race has grown in power, although Tongtianmu has not expressed any specific stance, the scope of activities of the spiritual beasts and monsters that rely on it has been expanding day by day.

As time went by, the disciples of the Living Furnace Sect were forced step by step to the point where they could only move around in the barren land of the Western Wilderness.

Fortunately, due to their skills, the Baking Lu Sect was able to adapt to the scorching hot climate of the Western Wasteland, and they managed to survive in the cracks.

It is indeed a matter of survival through cracks. Don’t think that the scorching sun and arid climate in Xihuang Continent all year round mean that no Kuai people can survive.

On the contrary, compared with the weak bodies of the human race, the Kuei race is more suitable to survive in such dangerous places.

Now in the entire Western Wasteland, except for a few small oases where traces of human survival can occasionally be seen, most places are occupied by the famous Qianlong Tribe.

Although the Qianlong tribe also has the strange magical powers of the Wei tribe, in fact, compared to powerful tribes such as Splitting the Sky and Yinjia, their combat power is really not that good.

However, their tribe is extremely good at raising and driving spiritual beasts, and it is precisely because of this that they can occupy a continent.

Leading the Dragon Department?

Xu Luo's mind flashed through a few faces of the Wei tribe that he had casually shot to death. It seemed that this tribe was also involved in the ambush at the entrance, but he did not see any outstanding figures among them.

Wang Peiran seemed to notice his disapproval, and suddenly gave a cautious warning.

"Xu Luo, you must not underestimate this tribe. If you give them time, the Qianlong tribe may be the most terrifying tribe among all the Wei tribe.

You only need to think about the scene of countless densely packed ferocious beasts that are not afraid of life and death, coming like a tide, and you will understand what is so scary about them."

Having said this, he hesitated before speaking in a deep voice.

"In fact, it was the Qianlong Division who was the main force at that time, and it was the reason why our Baking Furnace Sect was so exhausted that we had to close the mountain to protect ourselves!

When we were in Dayan, we all experienced the impact of battle formations, and we know how terrifying those elite soldiers and blood evil spirits can be once they form a formation, let alone these more brutal and bloodthirsty beasts?"

Xu Luo's expression gradually became serious, and he was thinking further.

Compared to the human race, the biggest drawback of the Kuei clan is actually their numbers. If the Qianlong tribe grows to a certain level, it will definitely be able to control the ferocious beasts to form the main force to compete with the humans.

Even if the human race could regenerate, would it still be able to compare with these beasts who only know how to eat, drink and reproduce every day?

What's more, the combination of the Dragon-leading Department's skills and Shenmuzhou's skills is really flawless. If the two parties unite one day...

Thinking of this, Xu Luo quickly shook his head and laughed, as if he wanted to completely put away the nonsense thoughts in his mind.

He didn't dare to think about it any further and quickly changed the topic.

"How many people from your Baking Lu Sect came to this trip to Shenmu Continent?"

Wang Peiran subconsciously glanced at Shanxin who was sitting cross-legged and adjusting his breath, with a bitter smile on his face.
