Chapter 409: Kunlun Mountains, Nine Deaths and One Life

des, swirling and wreaking havoc in the air.Good heavens! This dead man's aura is just too overwhelming!Hei Zi cursed under his breath, determined not to lose face even in defeat. He lifted his chin h...The Kunlun Mountains, stretching approximately 2,500 kilometers in length and covering over 500,000 square kilometers in area.

The mountains have been covered in silver for years, shrouded in clouds and mist, making it impossible to see the whole picture.

The unique geographical environment, as well as countless weather patterns, has nurtured countless treasures of nature and exotic creatures.

Such a magnificent natural treasure would naturally attract countless people to venture here.

All those who entered the mountains for various reasons either died or were severely injured. To this day, no one has ever been able to return unharmed.

In short, stepping into the Kunlun Mountains is a gamble with your life...

At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, dozens of helicopters landed at the entrance of the mountain range.

A highly trained special forces soldier, dressed in camouflage gear, expertly rappelled from a helicopter. They landed in perfect formation.

The special forces team leader stepped forward and opened the cockpit door of the lead helicopter.

A tall man stepped off the helicopter, took off his sunglasses, and gazed at the towering mountain range with his deep-set eyes.

He slightly raised his head, revealing a smooth jawline. A black windbreaker was billowing in the cold mountain air, its sleeves swirling around him like those of a deity.

The special forces captain stood behind him respectfully and said, "Master Fu, the equipment is ready."

"Into the mountains!"

Fu Lingxiao spoke in a deep voice. The group of people got into the modified off-road vehicle and drove into the mountains.

In the mountains, there were only dry, eroded bedrock hills, with few plants growing. Looking out, you couldn't tell one place from another, and it was very easy to get lost.

The magnetic field in the mountains is special. All electronic devices, including compasses, fail here.

The accompanying elite operatives, all of whom had undergone rigorous orientation training, gradually lost their sense of direction after a period inside.

Only the lead car, steadfastly led them.

After several hours driving through the mountains, the convoy stopped in front of a canyon.

The location was too narrow for a four-wheel drive vehicle to pass, but judging from the abandoned off-road vehicle left beside it, both Pei Ran and Shen Lue had entered the canyon.

The canyon was deep and long, seemingly endless.

Fu Lingxiao got out of the car and went inside first.

The special forces captain led the way, followed closely by his comrades.

Passing through the deep canyon with caution, we arrived at an endless primeval forest. The trees were lush and the grass was green as jade. It seemed like a different world compared to the barren rocky mountains on the other side of the canyon.

Fu Lingxiao wasn't surprised. The Kunlun Mountains had a complex geography, so anything out of the ordinary was perfectly normal there.

He glanced past, discerning the direction, took the gas mask from the captain's hand and put it on, and walked into the forest.

In the depths of the forest, a thick fog swirled, gradually obscuring all direction.

The elite combat team was highly experienced in outdoor operations and had naturally anticipated and prepared for such a situation. They took out their fog removal tools and conducted manual de-fogging.

It was strange, though, that their rate of clearing the mist couldn't keep up with the speed at which it formed.

Even, the more you subtract, the greater the mist becomes.

"Stop!"

A cold voice suddenly rang out in the thick fog. The soldiers immediately stopped clearing the mist and instinctively followed the sound, but at this moment, they were surrounded by fog, with visibility almost zero.

"Dagger."

The man's voice rose again.

The captain stood beside Old Master Fu, barely able to see him. Hearing this, he immediately drew his dagger and passed it over, "Old Master Fu."

Fu Lingxiao took it, waved his hand to disperse the thick fog, and walked to a big tree. He used his dagger to peel off a piece of bark, revealing several small mechanism holes.

He gave a cold sneer with his thin lips.

Just now, watching the process of these miasma's generation felt strange, as expected, it was just as he had guessed.

These are not naturally generated miasma, but poisonous gas released through small mechanisms on the trees. Not only this tree, but every tree here does so.

It's actually set up with traps.

It seems that there are indeed some things hidden deep within the Kunlun Mountains.

Fu Lingxiao sheathed his dagger and instructed, "These are poisonous fumes, be careful, follow me!"

The air was thick with toxins, visibility reduced to mere inches. Despite this, Fu Lingxiao, relying on his exceptional sense of direction, continued walking in a straight line.

"Ah!"

In the thick fog, a short, sharp scream suddenly rang out, followed by the sound of something scurrying quickly through the grass.

The captain hurriedly asked, "What's going on!"

"There's an attack! 035 was taken by something!"

As one soldier had just finished speaking, another cry of pain rang out.

The deputy captain immediately followed the dragging sound, "I'll go save them, you guys get out of here first!"

"Press on!"

The captain knew that Master Fu was in a hurry and didn't linger.

And not only is there poisonous gas in this forest, but also attacks from unknown creatures. Who knows what else we might encounter It's incredibly dangerous. We must leave as soon as possible to avoid further casualties.

"Be careful! Stay alert!"

The combatants knew there was danger, and they were all on high alert, taking every precaution, but it wasn't enough to protect them.

People are constantly being taken away.

Hearing the screams coming from behind him, the captain gritted his teeth. He couldn't bear it any longer. These people were his brothers-in-arms, who had fought alongside him through thick and thin. He couldn't just abandon them.

"Grandfather Fu…"

Before he could say anything, the man said, "Go."

"Protect Mr. Fu! I'll catch up to you soon!"

The captain ordered the pursuit to rescue the people.

Fu Lingxiao's face was cold and stern, he didn't turn back, his footsteps never stopped.

He only had two days, but the road ahead was an endless unknown. He couldn't afford to waste time.

After walking for a long time, the toxic air gradually thinned, and my vision finally returned.

Among the weeds beneath their feet, countless white bones also emerged.

Everywhere the eye could see, there were bones, countless and packed together. In the mottled light, they emitted a strange white glow.

Fu Lingxiao glanced coldly, leaving ten people here to receive him, then led the others away first.

Emerging from the forest, they found themselves in a vast expanse, with dozens of narrow paths stretching before them.

Fu Lingxiao removed his respirator, his eyes dark and heavy.

Before he set out that night, Shi Ye once said that the thing he had been searching for his whole life was hidden deep within these Kunlun Mountains.

Since he entered the Kunlun Mountains, he has been going deeper and deeper.

But now, these dozen or so paths before my eyes all lead into the depths of the mountains, yet they are but a hair's breadth apart, yet miles away.

Which one is the path that Shi Ye walked

He didn't have time to look for them one by one, the opportunity was only once.

Fu Lingxiao raised his head and gazed into the distance, his deep eyes sweeping over the snow-capped peaks shrouded in mist. His brows furrowed.

On his way here, he carefully studied the terrain of the Kunlun Mountains on a map. Before landing, he had the pilot fly along the entire mountain range again, getting a general view through the clouds and mist.

What he sees now doesn't match the map, nor does it match what he sees from above.

Fu Lingxiao's handsome brows furrowed, "The map!"

The soldiers behind him immediately took out maps from their backpacks and spread them out before him.

Fu Lingxiao glanced at it, his lips curling up coldly, "Look, does the mountain range there match the map"g heavy in the air.On the hillside behind Nanshan Mental Hospital, Black Wolf skillfully set up his sniper rifle, aiming at Ward 5. He hung a target on Building No. 3 where Lan Xuan was being held and...
