Chapter 264 Compass
Elder Han called Hu Qing and Gu Yang into his tent and looked at them with satisfaction.
After a month of baptism, these two disciples who just came out of Tianyi Sect have become mature and steady, more like a warrior.
After praising him a few times, he took out a black compass from his storage ring and handed it to Gu Yang who was standing beside him.
"This is the array plate we found behind the alien demon's corpse. After being modified by Senior Zheng Su and I, any alien demon aura nearby will be displayed on it." Elder Han explained.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yang fiddled with the compass in his hand curiously. It felt cold and heavy, with some obscure lines of formations mixed in.
Hu Qing looked at the familiar compass and couldn't help feeling confused.
He always thought of the purple-haired boy who sold his formation plate in the Nanliu Secret Realm.
The boy had purple hair and said he was not from Nanliu City, which already met the characteristics of a demon. I just don’t know why he didn’t have those disgusting tentacles.
Hu Qing took the compass from Gu Yang and looked at it carefully. He found that it was engraved with complex runes and emitted a faint spiritual light.
The two nodded to show that they understood how to use the compass.
"Elder Han, what should we do next?" Gu Yang asked.
Elder Han pondered for a moment and said slowly, "I called you here this time because the area you are patrolling is the northernmost part, and there should be some problems there.
Since the human flesh and blood in the demon's body was not leaked from our military camp, it is most likely on both sides of the north and south city walls.
Remember we talked before about some of the sects on the continent being restless? I suspect this flesh and blood was transported here by agreement between those sects and the alien demons.
Your current mission is to secretly investigate the Xuanyin Sect in the north while on patrol. You don't need to go too deep, just observe if there are any demonic auras near the coastline within their formation."
Gu Yang nodded. This task was not difficult. If it was really the Xuanyin Sect that betrayed the flesh and blood of the human race, then they really deserved to die.
Hu Qing raised his head and asked doubtfully, "Elder, if the Xuanyin Sect is really colluding with the alien demons, then wouldn't the alien demons have already invaded the continent?"
Elder Han was stunned for a moment, then explained, "There's a divine artifact in the center of the continent that's specifically designed to detect auras. If a demon appears on the continent, it will sound an alarm. Don't worry."
After hearing this, Hu Qing felt relieved. Now this task was relatively easy.
"Alright, that's it. Please be safe when you carry out your mission."
Elder Han waved his hand and sat down on the futon next to him. "I'm so sleepy! I haven't had much rest in the past month. I'm almost dying of exhaustion."
Hu Qing and Gu Yang put away the compass and prepared to leave the tent. Gu Yang suddenly thought of Hu Qing's injuries and asked:
"Elder, Ah Qing's puppet seems to be breaking down and can no longer sustain the battle."
Elder Han opened his eyes, sat up from the cushion, walked to Hu Qing's side, and tapped his body with his hand.
Hu Qing looked helpless. Gu Yang had told him about this matter after the last fight with the demon.
However, Elder Han could not be found at that time, and the recovery performance of this puppet was relatively good, so it could still be used. That’s why I forgot about it and didn’t mention it.
Elder Han clapped his hands, thought for a moment, and said:
"It's time to replace it. This body is almost out of energy. So, you can use it first. I'll find a way to build you a better one."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yang handed a storage ring filled with ore to Elder Han and said:
"Let's get the materials this time. See if these are enough. If you don't find anything suitable, I have more."
Elder Han shook his head and returned the storage rack to Gu Yang. "I still have some materials. You can keep them. I'll see if I can make something sturdy this time."
Afterwards, Elder Han escorted the two out of the tent and returned to his mat, where he fell into a deep sleep.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang stood outside the tent, looking at each other helplessly. Xiao Zi was getting a little anxious waiting outside.
As soon as he saw the two of them coming out, he flew to Gu Yang's neck and lay on it, rubbing his hair affectionately.
Then the two men and the dragon headed towards the north of the city wall, trying to catch up with Lin Feng and the others.
"Aqing, do you still remember the boy with purple hair?" Gu Yang suddenly asked.
Hu Qing nodded. He didn't expect Gu Yang to think the same thing as him. "I remember that he gave me a very strange feeling. I always felt that he was not an ordinary person."
"Yeah, I feel the same way." Gu Yang frowned, "Do you think he is related to the alien demon?"
Hu Qing was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "It's hard to say. If it's a demon, then why would you sell the formation plate?"
"Yeah, but his purple hair is really suspicious."
The two chatted along the way for almost half an hour, and finally saw Lin Feng's team on the road.
They blended in naturally, as if they had never left.
When Lin Feng saw the two men coming back, he didn't say much, just nodded, and then ordered them to speed up.
The team had been slowing down and waiting for the two people. Now that they were here, they hurried on and soon arrived at the gap on the north side of the city wall.
Lin Feng assigned tasks according to the previous division of labor, and Hu Qing and Gu Yang were assigned to patrol the beach.
The two of them came together, took out a black compass, and looked to the left in the direction of Xuanyin Sect, but the compass did not respond at all.
"There isn't any, is there no problem with the Xuanyin Sect?" Hu Qing frowned, his heart full of doubts.
Gu Yang was also a little puzzled: "Yeah, how about we go a little further inside?"
"That's the Xuanyin Sect's territory. I'm worried that something might go wrong with the formation. If they're really colluding with the demons, then humans will probably also be the target of the formation." Hu Qing said after thinking for a moment.
The two looked at each other and decided to start patrolling according to Lin Feng's orders.
They walked slowly along the beach, their footprints on the sand gently blown away by the sea breeze, as if telling the loneliness of this land.
The sand on the beach was fine and warm, and the sea breeze, with its salty and humid scent, gently brushed across their cheeks.
In the distance, the waves gently hit the beach, making a soft sound.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang walked while looking around vigilantly, but everything was quiet and there was no sign of anything unusual.
"Do you think there really are demons here?" Gu Yang asked in a low voice, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.
Hu Qing shook his head: "I don't know either, but since Elder Han arranged it this way, he must have his reasons."
