Gods: Start with Goblins

The guards were frightened when they heard the leader's words. They were just small minions following orders. If they really offended the Shangguan Sect, they would be in big trouble. After weighing the pros and cons, they dared not stop them and could only watch the hundred people pass through the guardrail smoothly.

However, the 100 people did not directly enter the Monster Mountain Range, but found a relatively open place near the mountain range to set up camp. At this time, night had completely fallen, and it was pitch black all around. Only the bonfire in the camp was burning, reflecting everyone's tired faces.

Luo Dan and the others also settled down in the camp. Luo Dan sat by the campfire, frowning slightly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. At this moment, the voices of several guards talking quietly came into his ears. It turned out that for some unknown reason, millions of monsters in the mountains suddenly went berserk, and those forces that had entered the mountains were caught off guard. Almost all of them withdrew at the first opportunity, fearing unnecessary losses.

Hearing this news, Luo Dan's eyes lit up and he began to think secretly. From the conversation between these people just now, he can basically judge two important news. The first is that Shangguan Bowen was really arrested. Now, he is being held by major forces and interrogated. Those forces are eager to know the specific scene of the battle between Tiansheng Taoist and the Beast King, as well as the whereabouts of the treasure of the monster clan. After all, the battle between Tiansheng Taoist and the Beast King was earth-shattering, and there must be countless secrets hidden in it. And the treasure of the monster clan contains powerful power. Whoever can get it will be greatly strengthened.

Thinking of this, Luo Dan's eyes became more determined. He knew that Shangguan Bowen's current situation must be very dangerous. In order to get the information they want, the major forces will definitely use any means. He must find a way to enter the mountains as soon as possible, find Shangguan Bowen, and rescue him.

At this time, the other people in the camp were also talking about the rampage of the monsters in the mountains and what to do next. Luo Dan listened to their conversation quietly, but was thinking about his own plan in his heart. Not far from the camp, the Monster Mountain in the darkness was like a dormant giant beast, exuding a mysterious and dangerous aura, waiting for Luo Dan and others to challenge.

As night fell, the wind in the mountains gradually became fiercer, blowing the flags outside the tents. Luo Dan, Bak Yun and Shangguan the Butcher mixed in with the team of 100 people and settled down quietly. They chose a remote corner to set up the tent, trying not to attract the attention of others.

Inside the tent, Luo Dan sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a piece of dry food in his hand, chewing thoughtfully. Buck Yun leaned against a corner of the tent, his ear pressed against the tent cloth, listening carefully to the noise outside. Butcher Shangguan seemed a little anxious, constantly fiddling with the butcher knife in his hand, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.

"Do you think these people are really from Shangguan Bowen's sect?" Bak Yun asked in a low voice, frowning.

Luo Dan nodded and said in a low voice: "Judging from their attire and words and deeds, they should be right. Moreover, the leader mentioned the 'young master' just now, which obviously refers to Shangguan Bowen. It seems that Bowen has indeed been captured, and the situation is not good."

After hearing this, Shangguan the Butcher couldn't help but clench his fists and cursed in a low voice: "How dare these bastards attack my nephew! I'll go and chop them all up later!"

Luo Dan quickly held his shoulders and whispered, "Don't be impulsive! Now is not the time to act. We need to figure out the situation first, and then find a way to save him."

Buck Yun also nodded and whispered, "That's right. We are outnumbered now. Fighting head-on is not a solution. We have to outsmart them."

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the tent, followed by a rough voice: "Hey, you newcomers, come out and help move some things!"

Luo Dan and Bak Yun looked at each other, quickly stood up, opened the tent and walked out. Although Shangguan the Butcher was a little reluctant, he followed.

Outside the tent, several strong men in sect uniforms were carrying a pile of wooden boxes. When they saw Luo Dan and his men coming out, they waved their hands impatiently: “Hurry up, move these boxes to the camp over there!”

Luo Dan nodded, pretending to be obedient, and lifted a wooden box with Buck Yun. Shangguan the Butcher stood aside, looking at the strong men coldly, with the butcher knife in his hand trembling slightly.

"Hey, what are you standing there for? Come and help!" one of the sturdy men shouted at Shangguan the Butcher.

Shangguan the Butcher snorted coldly and was about to explode, but Luo Dan stopped him with his eyes. He gritted his teeth, and finally walked over and lifted a wooden box.

Several people carried the wooden boxes and followed the strong men to the center of the camp. Along the way, Luo Dan and Buck Yun carefully observed the surrounding environment, trying to find some useful clues.

In the center of the camp, a bonfire was burning, and the flames reflected on the faces of the people around, making them look particularly ferocious. Several high-ranking members of the sect were sitting around the bonfire, talking in low voices.

"Young master is so stubborn. Even at this point, he still refuses to say a word." A middle-aged man with a face full of flesh said in a low voice, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"Humph, he thinks he can keep the secret like this? How naive!" Another thin man sneered, "Wait until tomorrow morning, when the people from all the major forces arrive, he will know what it means to live a life worse than death."

Luo Dan and Bak Yun couldn't help but feel nervous when they heard these words. They looked at each other with a hint of worry in their eyes.

"It seems that Bowen's situation is worse than we thought." Buckyun said in a low voice.

Luo Dan nodded and whispered back: "We have to find a way to save him as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late."

Shangguan the Butcher couldn't help but curse under his breath after hearing this: "How dare these bastards treat my nephew like this! I'm going to chop them all up later!"

Luo Dan quickly held his shoulders and whispered: "Don't be impulsive! Now is not the time to act. We must first find out where Bowen is imprisoned, and then find a way to rescue him."

Buck Yun also nodded and whispered, "That's right. We are outnumbered now. Fighting head-on is not a solution. We have to outsmart them."

At this moment, the middle-aged man with a face full of flesh suddenly stood up and shouted to the people around him: "Listen to me! Tomorrow morning, people from all major forces will arrive. By then, we have to hand over the young master. If anyone dares to make any mistakes, don't blame me for being rude!"

The people around nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Luo Dan and Buck Yun looked at each other and thought secretly in their hearts. They knew that time was running out and they had to act quickly.

"We have to find a way to get into where Bowen is imprisoned." Lordan whispered.

Buckyun nodded and whispered, "That's right, but you have to be careful not to be discovered by them."

After hearing this, Shangguan the Butcher couldn't help but tighten his grip on the butcher knife in his hand and whispered, "Stop wasting time, you two boys, and think of a solution quickly! I don't want to see my nephew get into trouble!"

Luo Dan nodded and whispered, "Okay, let's split up. Buck Yun, go find out where Bowen is being held. Shangguan the Butcher, you come with me and try to create some chaos to attract their attention."

Buck Yun nodded and disappeared silently into the darkness. Shangguan the Butcher clenched the butcher knife in his hand, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Finally, we can start!"

Luo Dan patted his shoulder and whispered, "Remember, don't make a big fuss. Our goal is to save people, not kill them."

Shangguan the Butcher snorted and nodded: "Got it, got it!"

The two men quietly moved to one side of the camp, preparing to create an "accident"...

"Who said he wasn't? He has already reached the throne after this training. He must be the next leader. But he took a wrong step. If he had told us the whereabouts of the two Saints and the treasures of the monster clan, our sect would definitely be able to make further progress and produce one or two Saints."

The other person also sighed. In fact, the young master has always been kind to others and is highly respected by the people in the sect. It's a pity that he offended the elders and the sect leader. No one can save him this time. Moreover, the sect leader only has this one child. If he dies, the sect will probably be in chaos.

The conversation between the two people continued. Luo Dan tried his best to make his expression look natural and listened attentively.

“And according to the protector, there were two young men with the young master. It is estimated that they took away the treasure of the monster clan.” The tall and thin man lowered his voice, revealing a greedy look on his face. “But the protector was injured and left, and we don’t know the whereabouts of the two men. If we can find those two guys, maybe our sect can get the treasure, and then we will be rich.”

The short and fat man quickly agreed, his face full of longing: "Yes, yes, if we can really get the treasure, our status in the sect will also rise. But I don't know where those two young men ran off to. This mountain range is so big, it's not easy to find them."

Hearing this, Luo Dan's heart suddenly tightened. He knew that the two young men were talking about him and his companions. He didn't expect that their whereabouts had been known to someone. Although the other party was not sure who they were, there was no guarantee that they would not find out later. Moreover, from the words of these people, it can be heard that in order to obtain the treasure of the monster clan, they have already lost their minds. If they discover their identities, they will definitely rob them by any means.

Luo Dan secretly glanced at Buck Yun and Shangguan the Butcher not far away. The two were pretending to rest as if nothing had happened, but from their slightly tense bodies, it could be seen that they had also heard the conversation. Luo Dan thought to himself that the situation seemed to be more complicated than he had imagined. Not only did he have to rescue Shangguan Bowen as soon as possible, but he also had to be on guard against these people discovering his identity, and he had to be careful to deal with the monsters running wild in the mountains. At this time, in the darkness outside the camp, the roar of monsters could be heard faintly, as if reminding Luo Dan and others that the road ahead was full of unknowns and dangers, and they had to move forward carefully. If they were not careful, they might be doomed.

Luo Dan's face was filled with just the right amount of curiosity and yearning. He walked lightly towards the two men, smiling and asking with a tone full of respect, "Two brothers, from what you just said, your sect must be very strong. Can you tell me more about it so that I can broaden my horizons?

----------------

I saw that those people in charge of guarding were very respectful to you just now, which is really enviable.

----------------

If I have the chance, I will definitely join your sect, even if it's just as an outer disciple."

When the tall and thin man heard this, a smug look suddenly appeared on his face, his chest unconsciously puffed up, and his eyes were full of pride. He glanced at Luo Dan, cleared his throat, and said, "Of course, our Shangguan Sect is well-known in this area. There are many masters in the sect, and there are several strong men in the throne realm alone, not to mention the elders who are in charge, and their strength is unfathomable."

The short and fat man also echoed with a bit of pride on his face: "Yes, our sect's skills are even more exquisite. As long as you can practice well, your future achievements will be limitless. Take our young master for example, he is gifted and has reached the throne realm at a young age. If it weren't for this incident, he would have become the head of the sect and led the sect to glory in the future. It would have been a foregone conclusion."

The tall and thin man went on to say, "Moreover, our sect has extensive connections and has dealings with many major forces. If it weren't for our sect's reputation, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to get in this matter in the Monster Mountain Range." As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Dan out of the corner of his eye, as if observing his reaction.

Luo Dan pretended to be fascinated by what he said, his eyes wide open, nodding from time to time, with an envious look on his face: "Wow, your sect is so powerful. What are the requirements for joining the sect? Although my strength is low, I have an ambitious heart and will definitely work hard to practice."

The short and fat man smiled and patted Luo Dan on the shoulder: "The requirements are not too high. As long as you have good talent and good character, you can join after passing the assessment. But now is not the time to think about this. When you get out of the mountains this time, you can try our sect."

Luo Dan nodded quickly and said gratefully, "Thank you for your advice, I'll remember it." He thought to himself that through this conversation, he could not only obtain more information about the Shangguan Sect, but also better hide his identity and gain more opportunities for future actions. At this time, the light of the bonfire flickered, illuminating everyone's faces, and Luo Dan's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible cunning.

--------------

Luo Dan frowned slightly, and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes. He was thinking about how to deal with this sudden change next, how to break through this line of defense and successfully enter the Monster Mountain Range. (End of this chapter)
