The Fourth Financial Crisis

Just as he was passing through a place with dense vegetation, Yang Lu suddenly heard an unnatural "sasha" sound coming from a distance of about 500 meters in front of him.

His hearing has been greatly enhanced by five-sense enhancement spells. Even if the sound is quite far away from him, he can still hear it very clearly, as if the sound is coming from his ears.

This kind of sound was not unfamiliar to Yang Lu. It was exactly the same as the noise he made when running in the forest. He immediately realized that he had met other testers again!

What's even more concerning is that just when Yang Lu noticed the sound, the noise caused by the other person's rush disappeared instantly, as if the person suddenly stood still and stopped. The whole turn was very abrupt.

After noticing this situation, Yang Lu suddenly felt his heart sink:

I'm afraid I've been discovered by the other party too!

Although his spiritual energy fluctuations have been suppressed to an extremely low level, the noise produced when running cannot be suppressed by the Hidden Spirit Pill. In addition, his cultivation level is not high, so it is impossible for him to cast a wide range of spells anytime and anywhere, and the opponent may also Through spells such as strengthening the five senses, he was aware of his existence!

After realizing this, Yang Lu slowly stopped.

As the saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. Anyone you encounter on the battlefield outside the territory is a potential danger.

Silently remembering the direction where the sound came from, Yang Lu closed his eyes and began to activate his consciousness with all his strength to guard against the sneak attack that the other party might launch at any time.

Since the vegetation in this area is relatively dense, noise will definitely be generated when the opponent launches a sneak attack.

And if the opponent chooses to use a silent spell, without the Hidden Spirit Pill to suppress the spiritual energy fluctuations, it will also be detected by Yang Lu's consciousness. No matter which response method is chosen, his position will be exposed.

As long as he fights head-on, his banknote ability is not afraid of any opponent.

But the other party seemed to have the same idea as him.

Yang Lu waited for a long time, but in the end, neither the traditional five senses nor the sixth sense brought by spiritual consciousness could detect any movement, as if the other party had disappeared.

But Yang Lu was very sure that the voice he just heard was definitely not an illusion. This person must still be lurking in the same place, waiting for him to be the first to reveal his position!

As for why the other party remained silent, Yang Lu could also understand.

He has the Hidden Spirit Pill to suppress the fluctuations of his own spiritual energy. The opponent should not be able to sense his specific cultivation level. When he is unclear about his own strength, it is also a very reasonable choice to choose to be steady first.

So Yang Lu faced off with this mysterious guy several hundred meters away.

However, after spending time with each other, Yang Lu couldn't sit still. After all, he still had a mission to find Ye Chen as soon as possible, and then find a way to rescue Miss Qingning.

If you spend several hours with such an inexplicable guy, the other party probably won't care, but your own layout progress will undoubtedly be greatly affected.

What's more, Ye Chen is not a wooden pile, he will constantly change his position. God knows during the confrontation between Yang Lu and this person, will Ye Chen suddenly have an idea and run away dozens of miles away?

In desperation, Yang Lu decided to take the initiative to break the deadlock.

But even so, fighting by force is the last resort.

Although Yang Lu is confident that he can easily defeat his opponent with his money power, his trump cards are not endless. It is only the first day of the foreign battlefield. If he casually destroys all the talismans, he will have to change in the remaining time. He has become a fat sheep running naked.

Considering that the vast majority of the trialists who participate in the battlefield outside the territory are actually ordinary cultivators who live in peaceful times and have never experienced life or death. There are only a handful of murderers like Fang Zheng. After seeing the other party's cautious behavior, , Yang Lu felt that there was no possibility of reaching a consensus between the two parties.

So he was ready to take the initiative to give the other party a hint.

He deliberately did not cover up his voice, but ran ten meters back with great fanfare. Even if the other party did not activate spells such as strengthening the five senses, he could easily detect his movements.

After doing all this, Yang Lu entered a state of silence again, and immediately picked up the protective talisman, ready to deal with any possible surprise attacks from the opponent.

However, after waiting like this for about five minutes, the other party did not give any response, so Yang Lu once again emboldened himself, took the initiative to expose his position, ran back ten meters in a big way, and repeated the behavior just now.

After going back and forth three times, the situation finally changed.

More than five hundred meters away, there was a sound of running that gradually faded away, and then quickly disappeared.

Obviously, the other party is imitating his own behavior!

After hearing this news, Yang Lu suddenly became convinced. This was a sign that the two sides were about to reach a consensus!

The other party didn't seem to want to fight with an ignorant guy like him, so after receiving the signal he took the initiative to send, he gave the same response, obviously preparing for a peaceful solution.

So Yang Lu moved again.

This time he ran back nearly a hundred meters before stopping.

The other party did not disappoint Yang Lu, and ran hundreds of meters in the other direction very cooperatively.

After a few rounds of back and forth like this, Yang Lu and the other party had already opened a safe distance of about three or four miles. Even with the blessing of the Five Senses Strengthening Technique, he could not hear the other party's movements clearly. After feeling that he was basically out of the battle, Yang Lu immediately found a direction and started running wildly.

This time there were no accidents.

The opponent did not take the opportunity to attack!

An encounter that almost broke out in the dark forest was resolved by Yang Lu peacefully. From then on, Yang Lu could no longer detect the aura of this mysterious monk.

Yang Lu was also very satisfied with being able to defeat the enemy without fighting.

After arriving at a safe area, Yang Lu took out the Sharing Weal and Suffering Gu insect again and sensed it...

fine!

Although he and Ye Chen had once again opened a certain distance, the distance was not too far. Yang Lu estimated that another two hours would be enough for him to meet Ye Chen successfully. So he took a slight detour to the south, deliberately staggering in the direction that the mysterious monk had just left, and then continued in the direction of Ye Chen.

It's a pity that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. The most indispensable thing in the foreign battlefield was all kinds of accidents. Just when he was less than 20 kilometers away from Ye Chen, trouble came to him again.

At this time, Yang Lu was walking through the forest, but his consciousness suddenly felt that a powerful wave of spiritual energy suddenly rushed from the southern sky, scaring him so much that he fell to the ground and did not dare to make a sound.

The owner of this powerful spiritual energy wave had no intention of covering up his whereabouts. Even if Yang Lu had only the fourth level of Qi Refining, he could notice the existence of this aura in advance from a distance of more than ten kilometers.

Carefully hiding his figure and looking at the sky with his peripheral vision, he soon saw a brilliant green light streaking across the sky like a shooting star. Not only that, he also felt a powerful spiritual consciousness plowing across the ground like a scanner, seemingly searching for cultivators hiding in this area.

This spiritual consciousness is very powerful, even like substance, causing waves of fluctuations in the aura environment.

In terms of the strength of his spiritual consciousness alone, this person is probably stronger than Li Qingning!
