QinShi slowly took a sip of wine in his hand. At this time, he slowly collected from that memory. Every time he recalls that experience between life and death, he can more clearly recall part of the details.
In the moment of life and death, you must make a choice. And who knows what the outcome will be? But you have to make a choice, the choice you think is right!
Although he couldn't control himself at that moment, he didn't regret the choice to embrace that power. Although he wasn't sure what it was, but it was undoubtedly a secret hidden within his body.
--.
At this time a hazy drizzle was falling from the sky.
The Imperial guards came to a dense jungle. Wild grasses and shrubs filled the ground, it was a wild road where almost no one came. And now it was completely back to nature. However, naturally, this is not difficult to the Imperial guards who have been in battle for a long time!
They led two demonic beasts of the size of an ordinary city wall from behind.
Mountain-opening beasts! This kind of demonic beasts with tough skin and armor and large size, could be used for carrying items and were also good mounts.
However, as their name suggests, the two mountain-opening beasts go with head to head, and the shrubs and weeds were brushed aside immediately. Two huge tails sweep the way, an then, it was instantly opening up a flat road now.
The two mountain-opening beasts were walking and uprooting some tall trees and throwing them on the side of the road. Then they opened their big mouths and bit off the entire roots in two bites. These roots are their favorite food!
They walk slowing while chewing the roots with the open mouths. it seems very comfortable! QinShi's group slowly followed the mountain-opening beasts in the back to the Cold lake.

Not long after, QinShi's group was in the surrounding slowly rise a fog. The fog initially very light. But the more forward, the fog thicker.
The Woo brothers, they were the only two people in the group who were not wearing armor.
They were both wearing white clothes made in the Southern Wilderness, with bucket hats that the Southern Wilderness people like to wear. Two faces were revealed from underneath the hats. One was a square face with thick eyebrows and big eye. And the other was very clean. At first glance, he was more like a scholar than a soldier.
They were now riding their mounts, following QinShi to the left and right, walking in the middle of the group.
"Brother WooJiao !"
WooJiao is the one with the square face and thick eyebrows, QinShi turned his head to him and said, "From these fogs, do you see anything?"
These fogs are naturally not ordinary fogs, is the unique fog issued by some of the more age-old demonic beasts!
"brother Qin," said WooJiao, QinShi has always called the Woos as brothers, which is one of the reasons why Dafu is not used to the Woos, but the Woos are happy.
"As I see, these fogs should be emitted by ordinary demonic beasts that are a bit old age, but it could also be an ordinary giant demonic beasts!"
QinShi nodded slightly. It didn't look too difficult to deal with.
The Woo brothers were capable of hunting demonic beasts. Since they joined, it was indeed much easier when hunting demonic beasts around the castle!
"These scents are a bit strange!"
On QinShi's other side, the clean-faced one said, his name was WooXue, "Brother Qin, it seems like we haven't seen this type of demonic beasts in the Southern Wilderness before!"
He discerned the type of these demonic beasts right from the fog.
"Hm!" QinShi obviously trusted the Woo brothers and said to Dafu, "Dafu, be on guard!"
"Yes!" Dafu replied loudly from the front.
"Your shield soldiers, all come to the front of me!"
A few fresh recruits, carrying large shields and riding on bulky mounts, snapped to the front of the line, their faces still bristling white!
--
The Cold Lake would be arrived in a moment. When they arrived at the lake, the Imperial guards all shivered!
In the legend of the Southern Wilderness, the lake is connected to the depths of the sea at the edge of the world, so the Cold Lake is as cold as winter all year round!
But despite the cold, the well-trained imperial guards quickly set up a position at the edge of the lake.
WooJiao and WooXue, on the other hand, together with QinShi, were checking the surrounding area for any traces of demonic beast activity.
"This is a demonic beasts traces ...... the surrounding grass all broken, looks like it has been a fighting, but strange did not find a second demonic beasts," said WooJiao pointing to a collapsed piece of grass at the edge of the lake.
"Brother Qin," WooXue then said, "our clan has been trying to explore where this lake leads, found that its unfathomable depth, also do not know where it leads, so any demonic beasts are possible!"
QinShi nodded his head. At this time, the soldiers had already set up a formation, the giant shields were erected, the demonic beasts were all trained to lie quietly on the ground, the Imperial guards were hidden behind the giant shields, and Dafu was standing at the front of the formation.
QinShi and the Woo brothers returned from scouting.
"The demonic beasts should be hiding in the lake," said WooXue.
"That's not a problem!" Dafu said, "I'll send some soldiers to chase it out!"
"Hey, you guys come here!"
A few recruits came over with their heads down, they panicked for being made to hard work by Dafu today.
"Carry some big rocks and throw them into the lake!"
the recruits dare not disobey, they carried a large stone thrown in the lake with a big bang. The lake stirred up a large splash, and the recruits all covered in water!
WooXue looked at all this and smiled faintly, revealing tiny white teeth.
"General Dafu," WooXue said, "you can't drive out the demonic beasts like this! In case the demonic beasts is really driven out, these soldiers will be killed instantly!"
When several recruits heard these words, their faces immediately turned white as paper.
They looked at each other, no longer dare to carry stones to throw into the lake.
Dafu was furious.
"You little bears!" He cursed.
But he didn't force the recruits to go on throwing stones into the lake!
"What should I do?" Dafu testy head, "smoke can not smoked it, spear can not stab it, banging gongs and drums can not be passed in ......"
Dafu actually know it very bright in his heart. The Woo brothers have many ghost-methods. As long as he slightly show weakness, they will certainly have a new idea out.
The WooXue really dragged WooJiao to the side to discuss. Dafu was standing in front of the new recruits with a moral face.
After a while, WooJiao and WooXue took out a few things each from the backpacks their demonic beastss carried. They first inserted many incense-like things and lit them first in the open space by the lake.
Strangely, the fog at the edge of the lake seemed a little afraid of the smoke of the incense. With the smoke of the incense rose straight up, the demonic fog all gave way, forming an isolated space in the center of the incense.
Then WooXue in this enclosed space, lit a pile of fire, and took out a white jade-like demonic-crystal on the fire burn.
Demonic-crystal is the essence of the demonic beasts through the years to absorb the spiritual energy, gradually formed in the body. It is the crystallization of the demonic beasts's own cultivation.
After burning for a while, there were colorful fog rising from the demonic-crystal that were put on the fire.
However, these fogs did not collapse, but were confined within the area of the smoke of these incense.
Gradually, the fog in the space gradually became thicker and thicker.
Slowly, from the crystal floated a black fog into the fog, and then from the fog came an angry roar.The fog gradually took the shape of an angry, roaring demonic beasts.
The fog released from the crystal that was put on the fire emitted the aura of a powerful demonic beasts, and there was an angry roaring demonic beasts which was reflected in the lake water. All of it seems like a demonic beasts coming to provoke the demonic beasts in the lake.
WooJiao and WooXue at this time has been on the side to hide behind the defense of several shield soldiers.
Dafu dumbfounded at all this. This demonic beasts he remembered was the one they had hunted last time. And the crystal was also taken by the Woo brothers at that time. Before the Woo brothers came, they didn't know how to take the crystal, because if the crystal wasn't taken out quickly, it would soon dissipate with the demonic beasts's death.
But this method of hunting demonic beastss is also the first time he saw it.
The method of hunting demonic beastss by the Woo brothers is endless, and mysterious and effective, much simpler and faster than their previous method to break the nest and the cave.
At this time, the lake water gradually rolled up without a sound.
