Chu Yang put away the flying sand and let the others out.

The closer they are to the sandstorm, the more cautious they should be. In particular, they should try to avoid using the flying sand, so as not to be discovered by some ghost cultivators hiding in the dark.

So, they started riding ghost horses and entered the normal walking mode.

Without paying attention to the hunting team for the time being, Chu Yang and others continued to move towards the sandstorm.

As the distance gradually shortened, the hunting team soon discovered Chu Yang and others, but the other party did not approach them, and seemed to be only interested in searching for new ghosts.

The one-eyed dragon couldn't help but sigh: "Faced with the temptation of the artifact, they can still hunt with peace of mind... They are the real wise men."

Lei Cang laughed when he heard this: "Do you think they are really searching for new ghosts?"

"What else?"

"Come back in two days and they will definitely continue to wander around in this area. They haven't caught any new ghosts, but they still refuse to leave..."

"How do you know?"

The one-eyed dragon was very curious.

Lei Cang smiled and said, "I guessed. If you don't believe me, you can come back in two days to check."

The one-eyed dragon was immediately puzzled.

Chu Yang said helplessly, "Old Lei means that this hunting team is just the spies arranged by their forces here. On the surface, they pretend to be hunting, but in fact they are monitoring the situation nearby."

"Oh..."

The one-eyed dragon suddenly realized, but then asked curiously, "How did you see it?"

Lei Cang smiled again and said, "Do you still need to see it? Do you think there are still ghost cultivators hunting nearby? If they really want to hunt, they will definitely stay away from the sandstorm and go to places that are more inaccessible."

The one-eyed dragon nodded and said, "That makes sense."

Lei Cang laughed again, "What's more, there is a ghost general in the other hunting team."

The one-eyed dragon was surprised and said, "Ghost general? This is really an spies... Can you see the logo on their clothes clearly?"

The range of the ghost's spiritual sense detection is generally no more than 100 meters, while the one-eyed dragon's is only a few dozen meters, not as good as his pair of eyes.

So he only saw the hunting team in the distance with his eyes, but he couldn't see the specific attire of the other party.

However, he believed that Chu Yang and others could see clearly, and he didn't have to worry about these intelligence issues.

Chu Yang easily scanned with his spiritual sense, and then said in a strange tone: "There is a dragon embroidered on their clothes. Which village's logo is this? It's really arrogant."

Lei Cang laughed: "Embroidered dragon? It's so fucking rustic."

The one-eyed dragon was surprised: "Embroidered dragon? Is this the hunting team of Linglong Village?"

"What's wrong with Linglong Village? Is there anything special?"

Chu Yang hurriedly asked humbly. The one-eyed dragon was more familiar with this matter.

The one-eyed dragon shook his head and said: "It's not that there is anything special. Linglong Village just has a more friendly relationship with Tongsheng Village..."

"Oh, Tongsheng Village is looking for help."

Chu Yang suddenly realized.

The situation of looking for help is not strange. Tongsheng Village may feel that it is alone and short of manpower, so it will look for some friendly villages to help.

It might be a little difficult to ask people to help fight, but if they just help as spies, things will be much simpler and they won't have to pay too much.

And asking hunting teams from other mountain villages to help as spies will definitely make them look much more low-key and won't be noticed by outsiders too much.

This is not good news for Chu Yang.

Since Tongsheng Village can find Linglong Village as a helper, maybe they will find other helpers to help monitor the movements nearby.

Chu Yang's desire to secretly capture the ghost cultivators of Tongsheng Village has become much more difficult.

The team continued to move forward, and in a few days, they found several hunting teams suspected to be spies.

These hunting teams came from different mountain village forces, and Chu Yang couldn't be sure whether they were the helpers found by Tongsheng Village, but he knew that Tongsheng Village must have arranged it.

The closer they were to the area where the sandstorm was, the more frequently the hunting teams appeared.

In the last few days, they almost encountered a hunting team whizzing past them every few hundred miles.

After walking for a day, you can even run into four or five hunting teams.

This is the team that you can see within your sight.

After Chu Yang used his spiritual sense to observe the surroundings, he found that there were at least seven or eight hunting teams within a thousand miles.

They were obviously not hunting. With so many hunting teams crowded together, even drinking northwest wind would be blocked by others, and they would not harvest any prey at all.

So these hunting teams did not hide their intentions anymore, and they all observed Chu Yang's team openly, and some even followed for a while.

However, Chu Yang and others had conspicuous Xiefeng Village logos on their clothes, and their cultivation was only at the level of ghost soldiers. They were not abnormal situations such as "unknown origin", "mysterious strongman" or "large-scale team", so these hunting teams did not pay too much attention to them.

After continuing to move forward for a while, Chu Yang and others finally approached the sandstorm.

The area around the sandstorm was already "extraordinarily lively", and various mountain stronghold forces surrounded the sandstorm and stationed there so blatantly.

They even opened caves at suitable locations in the surrounding area, which allowed them to stay away from the sandstorms from several miles away.

On the rocks, on the hillsides, underground... everywhere are caves dug by these forces.

In groups, in patches, just like a farm infested with rats.

Each force dug at least dozens of caves, forming an arc of dozens of miles, or even hundreds of miles.

Then the arcs of each force continued to string together, extending along the edge of the sandstorm, as if to surround the sandstorm to prevent the artifact from sneaking away from under their noses.

This kind of garrison, coupled with the ubiquitous hunting team on the periphery, can be said to have completely monitored the area around the sandstorm.

Any force or team, or even an individual, approaching the sandstorm, can't hide from their eyes.

No one can sneak into the sandstorm and steal the artifact secretly.

Even the earth escape technique can't work.

These forces have arranged a formation to monitor spells underground. If a ghost cultivator uses the earth escape technique to pass through and causes fluctuations in spiritual power, they will be discovered by them.

Although the artifact has not yet appeared, these forces have already made sufficient preparations to fight for the artifact and prevent theft and robbery.

Tongsheng Village obviously has no way to deal with these forces.

After all, this is a public area, and anyone is qualified to stay here, even build a cave, and there is no need for land certificates or property rights certificates.
