Chapter 68: Who is the Inner Hawk?

  The Yan Huang nine courtyard, at this time has already entered the night, but Yang Fan still hasn't left, however he isn't busy with anything, instead he's sitting on a chair in a daze. By now, Li Mang should have arrived at Zhangjiajie, by now, Li Mang should have called him... but until now there is no call.

  Not long ago, he had called Li Meng, but was prompted that the other party had no signal, which made Yang Fan feel that something was wrong, and let the surveillance team satellite positioning, the result was unable to locate, unknown whereabouts.

  This is unreasonable, the satellite phone of Yan Huang is solid and has a one-body design, it can't be opened to remove the battery, unless it's violently damaged. But violent damage should also trigger an alarm, yet there isn't any, and the intelligence team hasn't received any unusual information either, only saying that Li Mang left the airport and then disappeared without being attacked or anything like that.

  "What's going on here?!" Yang Fan's face kept changing colors.

  At the same time, in Changsha and Zhangjiakou, some suspicious figures were shuttling back and forth on the streets. They were either white-collar workers or tourists, and there were also beggars among them. They seemed to be busy looking for someone. If you pay attention, you can find that they occasionally lower their heads to look at their mobile phones, and the screens display a photo. If Li Mang saw it, he would be very surprised, because the person in the photo was him.

  Tianmen Mountain tourist area, a hunchbacked old man reported to the black silhouette in front of him in a tone devoid of any emotion: "Captain, we've lost track of our target. The local network has been operating at full capacity, but still can't find any clues... Moreover, Yan Huang seems to have sensed something and it's not easy for the network to make another move."

  It is obviously a large organization, and from this passage it can be seen that it is a force opposed to Yanhuang, with the Spider Web being their intelligence agency.

  Yanhuang also has its own intelligence agency, called Tianluo. The intelligence capabilities of Tianluo are more than ten times stronger than those of Diewu.

  Tianluo, diwang, Yanhuang and this mysterious organization give people a feeling that is not ordinary.

  "Huh? I thought this was just a simple task, but it's actually quite interesting." The voice belonged to a young man who didn't look very old. His face was shrouded in darkness, making it impossible for anyone to see him clearly. But his voice was unique, the kind that would be etched in one's memory forever. It was an eerie aura that seemed to emanate from deep within his bones.

  The hunchbacked old man behind him forced a smile, his expression was dry and cracked, this old face looked like it had crawled out of a coffin, this was due to practicing some kind of special skill, and it was an evil one.

  "Tell the ground spider to stop searching immediately, don't implicate the inner hawk, the Yan Huang discipline is strict, it's not easy to insert a high-level person in, and it's not worth exposing for a small character!" The black-clothed evil man ordered coldly.

  Nei Ying, this is obviously a code name, a spy lurking in the midst of the Han and Huang dynasties. Although Mozi's tactics are common, they will never be abandoned.

  As for who the inner hawk is, even they themselves don't know, only knowing that there's an inner hawk in Yan Huang courtyard, and this time the ambush on Li Mang was instructed by the inner hawk.

  "Yes, Captain." The old man with a hump on his back retreated upon receiving the order.

  A village at the foot of Tianmen Mountain lost some livestock in defense tonight, people's hearts are racing tonight, this night... many people can't fall asleep.

  But Li Mang didn't know any of this and wasn't interested, at the moment he was carefully hiding in the Ji Mountain, searching for the jade vine he wanted to find.

  After the Zhēn Yáng Mountain, the entire mountain range is safe. However, after the Tǎng Yuàn Mountain, there is a ferocious beast called Lèi, which resembles a tiger in appearance and should not be underestimated in terms of strength. Li Mǎng carefully bypassed their territory to enter the seventh base of Jī Shān.

  But Jishan also has a kind of ancient beast, called the Lingwu, Li Mang doesn't know its specific strength, and since his purpose for this trip is not to explore Jishan but only to find the Jade Vine, he simply avoids other animals in the mountains and quietly searches for the Jade Vine.

  "Yu Teng, growing out of the jade stone group, its whole body is like jade, beautiful and magnificent..." Li Mang recalled the records in Shan Hai Jing, and searched for places with more jade stones.

  Soon, a peculiar scene appeared in Li Mang's line of sight. The emerald green and delicate rattan strips crisscrossed each other, like a beautiful jade carving. Who would have thought that this was actually a kind of plant? On the rattan, there were also patches of tender shoots in emerald green, like the finishing touches on a painting, making the beauty of the rattan scene before his eyes even more resplendent and magnificent.

  "Is this the Jade Vine?!" Li Meng felt a sense of astonishment, but he didn't dare to linger and quickly stepped forward, using his dagger to cut off a bundle before quietly retreating along the original path.

  Apart from the Xuan Gui, all five materials are ready. Everything is set, only waiting for the east wind, which refers to time. Refining the Body Tempering Elixir requires two days and two nights, but he can't stay indoors for too long, or who knows what kind of trouble will arise outside.

  "If I use firewood, I won't be able to take care of it when I'm outside, but if I use coal gas, I don't have to stay here waiting all the time." Li Mang muttered to himself, thinking that this method was feasible.

  Using coal gas is not as good as using wood, after all, the smell of coal gas will pollute the precious medicine, but as long as the impact is not great, it doesn't matter. In fact, there are many external crises, he urgently needs to improve his strength, otherwise, what awaits him will be a tragic end of being hacked to death by chaotic knives, and he has not lived enough.

  Knowing the future, although it can be changed and prevented, but at the same time this is a very depressing and terrifying thing, it will make people feel anxious and uneasy. Who would be able to rest easy knowing they will be hacked to death by a madman?

  "To prepare for coal gas, there is also a big pot... but now it's already late at night, do I have to go steal?" Li Mang was in a dilemma.

  He was opposed to theft and believed that it was possible not to be a good person, but not to be a bad one. However, the shops were now closed, and going out to buy these things at this time might lead to exposure, which was not suitable for the current situation.

  Go ahead and steal... after all, a can of coal gas only costs around 100 yuan, it won't bankrupt anyone. Besides, we don't have to steal from ordinary people. Real estate developers are hateful, stealing two cans of coal gas from them won't give us any psychological burden.

  "...just this once." Li Mang convinced himself, and he eventually snuck into a construction site to steal two gas cylinders. He quietly made his way into the Shan Hai Jing space, and even managed to swipe a large pot on the way out, without anyone noticing.

  Wenyu, pangguo, sheguan flower, yanglingcian, yuteng tender shoots are all ready, the necessary cooking utensils are also in place, only lacking the main flavor Xuan Gui, Li Mang then took a big knife and ran to the shore of the strange water on Zhangyang Mountain.

  "Woohoo!!"

  The dark turtles were still very ferocious, a large group chasing Li Mang relentlessly. But this time Li Mang had experience, luring them away from the group before striking, and finally caught five of them. One was enough to refine the precious medicine, the rest were killed because they were chased by him and couldn't escape, but it wouldn't be wasted, Li Mang planned to use the dark turtle's blood to take a bath, solidifying his skin's defense.
