After passing the Nantianmen, in the entire area near Zhurong Peak, for some reason, the more powerful beings seemed to be very secretive about it, and no monarch settled in the center of the Hengshan Fire Veins.
As if everyone has unwritten rules, the area around Zhurong Peak has been given away, and only some wild leaders will develop there.
And more commanders are actually under the jurisdiction of these monarchs, and they also do not operate in this area.
Therefore, it is safer after passing Nantianmen.
However, it is impossible for the military to completely clear out the area around Zhurong Peak and bring it under the sphere of influence of mankind.
After all, there is a small half of Hengshan Mountain in the middle. The monsters in the middle are not vegetarians. And just because the monarchs don't want to set foot in this area, it doesn't mean they can't get in.
The brightness of the afternoon gradually dimmed, and dusk became the main color of the earth.
A group of six people did not stop at all. They needed to find a suitable camping spot to spend the night before dark.
However, it is not only the six Nanyi people who need to find a garrison point, but also the vanguard troops advancing towards the depths of Hengshan Mountain in the peripheral areas on the north and south sides of Hengshan Mountain.
Now, both major military departments have taken full action.
The current basic strategy is to advance simultaneously from the north and south, with the vanguard unit exploring the cause of the imbalance in the fire veins, and the rear battlefield coordinating with wandering hunters to quell the surrounding demon turmoil, while providing logistical support to the vanguard unit.
After the Hengshan Southern Military Headquarters eliminated the Ice Feather Cicada group living in Xiling, some of its personnel were left behind to join the troops and wandering hunters who set out later, and prepared to build a temporary wild station in the Xiling area.
This temporary outdoor station will be selected as the connecting hub for the front and rear of Hengshan South. It is the key to supporting the entire Hengshan South march, so it has also been invested in a considerable amount of military power by the Suzhou Army.
This connection hub will also become the key to the stability of the situation in the southern area of Hengshan.
As for Hengshan North, although the troops were deployed later than Hengshan South, their efficiency in handling the demon turmoil was faster than that of Hengshan South, which had grasped the information first.
And the reason turned out to be because of Nan Yi and his party.
The route chosen by the Hengshan Northern Military Headquarters for this dispatch was also the same route taken by Nan Yi and his party.
Most of the demons on this road, especially those with thorns, were easily dealt with by Nan Yi and his party.
For example, when passing through the territory of the giant-tusked pigs, they used to be arrogant, cruel and murderous, but now they are as docile as the little sisters next door. They turn a deaf ear to the army passing by their door and act like ostriches.
This confused the military mages who passed by.
its not right?
They have been to Guangji Peak several times at least. Every time they passed through the territory of the Giant Tusk Split Pig, there would be some friction. However, because the reproduction speed of the Giant Tusk Split Pig was too slow, there was nothing they could do. Eradication will also destroy the balanced ecology, so the military usually tries to stay as far away as possible to avoid direct disputes.
But this time, because the matter was more urgent, the army did not choose to go around far, but passed directly.
Ye Li, the leader of the vanguard, was originally prepared for a battle, but he didn't expect that the giant-tusked pig who was least likely to give in would give in!
They were like well-trained little wives, not daring to even look at these human mages.
However, Hengshan's northern vanguard has not yet advanced into the territory of the lava frog group, otherwise they may see an even more shocking scene.
Boundless snowy night.
"stop!"
"Stay where you are!"
Ye Li looked around the surroundings, looked at the map, and then loudly told the troops to stay where they were.
For a moment, the lonely wilderness was filled with the sound of pots and pans full of life, and portable tents rose from the ground.

Chapter 317 Zhu Rongfeng’s Rules
The time on the road is always in a hurry.
After passing the Nantianmen and entering the core area of the Hengshan Fire Vein, the climate became increasingly cold.
Heavy snowflakes were floating in the air, and after falling, they piled up into a field of snow up to the knees.
However, this kind of terrain will not affect the progress of Nan Yi and his party at all. With Bai Zijin around, the fluffy snow under everyone's feet turned into solid ice in an instant.
"The peak in front is Zhurong Peak." Jiang Shaojun looked at the steep peak towering into the clouds in the distance, with joy on his face.
"We'll arrive in the evening." Ai Jianghe added.
"Speaking of which, this is also the first time I have gone deep into the area behind Nantianmen. I used to follow the military to fight the demons that were the leader of Nantianmen." Bai Zijin recalled.
"It's just that the weather is getting colder and colder." Yang He, who has been staying at the beach of the Eastern Army all year round, is obviously not used to this kind of weather and complained again.
"The reason why the climate here is like this is said to be related to Zhurong."
Jiang Shaojun adjusted his glasses and said thoughtfully.
"In the legend, Zhu Rong is the god of fire. If we look at the current situation, he may be a fire emperor, he may be a fire forbidden curse, or he may be neither, but something else."
"After all, no one knows whether the magic plane in ancient times is the same as it is today. Maybe at that time we also had existences that exceeded the strength of high-level emperors, but later they declined for unknown reasons."
"This is what I have been pursuing and trying to verify." Jiang Shaojun continued with a hint of enthusiasm in his eyes.
"As for Zhu Rong, as the god of fire in ancient times, there are only a few records in the classics that say that he pursued immortality throughout his life, with an endless lifespan and immortality, just like the totem of the fire element, the Suzaku."
"But Zhu Rong's fire takes a different path. What it pursues is not the high temperature that burns everything, but the eternal flame that reconciles yin and yang just like it pursues immortality."
"Isn't today's Hengshan also in line with Zhu Rong's pursuit?"
Jiang Shaojun looked at the flying snow in the sky and Zhurong Peak in the distance with a look of admiration.
"Even though we have such a huge fire vein, we still have such a cold winter."
……
The group continued forward, taking only a short break at noon before embarking on the final stretch of the journey.
There were very few monsters nearby, and the leader didn't even see any of them. The monsters passing through the territory didn't have a larger group of warriors. They could only be regarded as small lairs at best and could not pose a threat.
And because there are not many demon activities here, the vegetation is extremely rich.
Although there is not gold everywhere, there are several kinds of herbs that Nan Yi has seen and recognized, scattered everywhere like wild flowers and weeds.
But Nan Yi didn't go out to collect them. Although these herbs were still valuable, if they wanted to make more money, they had to sell them in large quantities. Otherwise, it would be better to kill the commander to get money quickly.
Everyone walked very fast along the way, but they did not relax their vigilance at all.
The existence that forcibly placed the Ice Feather Cicada on Yunhai Peak has not yet been clarified. Its intention is quite obvious, and it has made it clear that it does not want others to go deep into Hengshan Mountain.
There is also the remnant of the light element found in the Wind Flame Thunder Vulture group, which can defeat the entire Wind Flame Thunder Vulture group. It appears on everyone's route, and it is also an existence that must be paid attention to.
Finally, not long after the sun slipped to the skyline, everyone arrived near the foot of Zhurong Peak.
Jiang Shaojun looked up at the unattainable mountain. Although it was a little hazy by dusk, it still stood tall and reminded everyone again.
"I remind you again that you must not use magic at will when climbing the mountain tomorrow."
"Yeah." Everyone nodded.
The reason why magic cannot be used at will is mainly to prevent magic fluctuations from attracting the attention of powerful demons and exposing their whereabouts.
And the reason is still because of Zhu Rongfeng.
This mountaineering trip by Jiang Shaojun and others is certainly not the first time humans have explored Zhurong Peak.
Before this, both national organizations and private organizations have tried, but failed.
However, they also obtained a lot of information about Zhurong Peak.
Among them is that every winter, Zhurong Peak forcibly suppresses the activity of the fire element within the range. In reality, the fire element is greatly weakened.
A high-level three-level fire mage like Ai Jianghe will eventually be suppressed to the intermediate level three. High-level magic can be used, but the power of the flame funeral will be greatly attenuated due to the reduction in the activity of the fire element.
This is completely different from the simple suppression of strength like the Parthenon. It is equivalent to suppressing the fire element from the source. Unless your fire element is strong enough to break through the rules of Zhu Rong Peak, it will be a forbidden curse. Yes, it has to be a big level.
Among the six people in Nanyi, Ai Jianghe, Jiang Shaojun, and Lian Xishan all have the fire element, and the first two's fire element is the main output, so they can be said to be severely suppressed.
Therefore, since passing the Nantianmen, everyone's movements have been as restrained as possible, and only the wind rails are used to rush.
Winter nights come quickly.
"Let's all go to bed early tonight and leave early tomorrow morning." Ai Jianghe said while looking at everyone.
In the evening, Ai Jianghe and Lian Xishan will keep vigil.
The already cold earth became completely quiet after the last good night.
……
Clear moonlit night.
Hengshan North Fortress, outside the military camp tent.
"report!"
"Enter."
After the permission sounded, the military mage outside the camp quickly walked in and reported to the Hengshan Northern Military Division who was sitting on a wooden chair looking at files.
"The scouts of the vanguard have detected that the lava frog population has been completely wiped out, and the ley lines they occupy have been completely extinguished."
After hearing the news, the military commander who had been looking at the files finally raised his head with a serious expression.
After a moment, a hoarse voice sounded.
"Did you find out what killed them?"
"They died in large numbers near the southwest foot of Zhenxiang Peak. Whether they were small warrior-level lava frogs or commander-level large lava frogs, they all died from the impact of the heavy pressure of water magic. However, the three large lava frogs There are traces of other elemental magic on the body." The military mage reported truthfully.
"Did it happen from the south side of Hengshan Mountain?" The Hoarse Army Chief heard that an entire ethnic group had been wiped out by water magic, and subconsciously thought it was an army formation.
"Based on the current analysis, this situation is unlikely..." Before the military mage finished speaking, the military commander on the side frowned first.
If this wasn't the work of the army, could it be some unregistered super mage? Immediately, the military mage continued.
"According to intelligence analysis, this is most likely the work of Jiang Shaojun's archaeological team."
"What? Archaeological team?"
He knew about Jiang Shaojun's archaeological team, and he finally approved the permit, but he obviously didn't understand how the archaeological team destroyed the group of lava frogs for a while.
If I remember correctly, Bai Yatou and the boy from the Ai family are also in there, but these two people can't put together a complete water system. Could it be that Bai Yatou has finally made a second contract?
Suddenly, Jun Si's eyes lit up and he thought of another person.
However, his impression of this person only lasted until he became an honorary military commander in his sophomore year, but he had no time to pay attention to more news.
"Is it the sophomore military commander from Lushan?" the military commander asked uncertainly.
……
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 318 The magical power of the mysterious black tree
Lucheng's water system is its signature, and Lushan Academy is even more so. The military commander immediately thought of the famous honorary military commander.
If I remember correctly, this military rank seems to have been awarded by the Beitai Marching Department in the imperial capital.
The reason why he was impressed was because the military commander there had sent resources to the honorary military commander several times before. This kind of cross-military operation required informing the military region here.
Moreover, the boy from the Ai family in Jiang Shaojun's team seemed to have served in the Beitai Marching Department before.
Thinking of this, the military commander became more and more certain of his guess.
"Well, the conclusion we came to is also the honorary military commander Nanyi." The military mage who stood reporting nodded.
Although the military commander guessed the truth, he was still very curious about how this honorary military commander did it, so he said again: "Check his file and give me a copy when the time comes."
"These are Nanyi's files at the military headquarters and Lushan Academy." The military mage was obviously well prepared and directly submitted two sealed files.
"Huh? Did you get the files of Lushan Academy so quickly?" The military commander looked at the school badge of Lushan Academy and was slightly surprised.
"This was sent over by Lu Shan on his own initiative." The military mage answered truthfully.
The military commander was full of doubts and simply opened the file given by Lushan Academy.
[Name: Nan Yi
Sex: Male
]
It was fine at first. Except for a suspected natural spiritual species, Nanyi's high school was quite normal. But when the military commander continued to browse, he frowned.
Totem Wa Snake, Fengcheng Military Headquarters, Black Holy See.
