Chapter 317 Monitoring
"This is...the Yuanzu Divine Stone?" Fang Yue exclaimed.

Since he was coming to fight the grassland barbarians, Fang Yue naturally obtained a lot of information about the grassland barbarians from Si Tianjian.

We know that there are many barbarian tribes in the grassland, but the core are the three major temples.

Because these three major temples can hold rituals and 'mass-produce' powerful barbarian temple warriors.

These warriors are the main fighting force of the grassland barbarians and the key to their dominance on the grassland.

But now, the stone in front of him turned out to be the legendary Ancestral Stone.

According to Si Tianjian's information, the Three-Day Prairie Temple seems to rely on this kind of stone to perform mysterious rituals.

However, because the barbarian temple is extremely tightly guarded, even Si Tianjian's spies have difficulty in spying on its secrets.

This makes both the ancestral sacred stone and temple rituals full of mystery and unknown.

Now, this object suspected to be the Ancestral Divine Stone was placed in front of Fang Yue, and one can imagine the shock in his heart.

The grassland barbarians were able to fight against the Wei Dynasty for more than a thousand years. Naturally, the grassland's heritage cannot be just a few dozen temple warriors.

They believed they could travel across the grassland more safely under the cover of darkness.

"Linlang, do you think the symbols and totems on this sacred stone are really related to the creation of the temple warriors of the prairie barbarians?" Fang Yue asked.

"besides,"

If he is just one person, then he will naturally come and go like the wind.

If this is really the ancestral stone, then it will be extremely important for understanding or even solving the mystery of the creation of the temple warriors of the prairie barbarians.

Fang Yue mobilized his vitality, and his shorthand was far superior to that of a galloping horse, and he quickly chased the pursuers out of sight.

Fang Yue added, "We must hide this ancestral stone and not let it be discovered during our evacuation."

"Well, these barbarian warriors are indeed well-trained, and their tracking ability is also very strong." Fang Yue nodded.

In this vast land, the warriors of the grassland barbarians are as cunning and fast as falcons, and this place is still quite far away from the border of the Wei Dynasty.

Zhu Linlang nodded in agreement: "That's true. We also need to prepare enough food and water, as well as deal with possible dangers."

Fang Yue analyzed and quickened his pace, "No matter what, we must leave this place as soon as possible."

Fang Yue nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, I suspect this is the Yuanzu Divine Stone. What do you think of this?"

Zhu Linlang pondered for a moment, and then said: "I think it is very possible. These symbols and totems are very similar to the ancient records of the prairie barbarians that I know. And, if this is not the ancestral sacred stone, why are those barbarian warriors chasing after it so desperately? What about us?"

"No, he's a warrior from the prairie barbarians!" Fang Yue said solemnly. Then he grabbed Zhu Linlang and picked up the sacred stone: "Let's leave quickly, we can't be discovered by them."

After hearing this, Fang Yue felt that what Zhu Linlang said made sense.

The two quickly and covertly left their original positions, making as little noise as possible.

However, the group of barbarian warriors seemed to have a clear goal. They moved quickly towards the location where Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were before.

The two walked through the woods, crossed the creek, and ran south.

Fang Yue frowned, he was well aware of the dilemma of being deep in the grassland.

After all, Zhu Linlang's cultivation level was still far behind, and his speed would inevitably be slowed down a lot. But he couldn't really leave Zhu Linlang alone, so he had to be careful this time.

Zhu Linlang did not answer immediately, but continued to observe the stone carefully, gently touching the surface of the stone with her hands from time to time.

After hearing this, Fang Yue felt excited.

"How do they know we are here?" Zhu Linlang asked doubtfully.

"Linlang, look at this." Fang Yue handed Zhu Linlang the stone that was suspected to be the Ancestral Divine Stone.

There must be unimaginable masters among them!

"It was so dangerous, we almost caught up with them." Zhu Linlang sighed.

Fang Yue took a deep breath, trying to calm down his excitement, and then turned to look at Zhu Linlang beside him, who had been watching him silently.

But with Zhu Linlang, you have to plan carefully.

The two discussed it and decided to wait until late at night before setting off.

Zhu Linlang looked at the sacred stone in his hand, then carefully wrapped it in a piece of cloth and hid it in his backpack: "I will keep it carefully."

After getting rid of their pursuers, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang found a hidden place to rest.

He knew that this object, which was suspected to be the Ancestral Divine Stone, might be their key to deciphering the mysterious power of the prairie barbarians.

While Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were immersed in the study of the Yuanzu Divine Stone, a sound of hoofbeats suddenly came from outside the valley.

After a while, he raised his head, looked at Fang Yue and said, "The symbols and totems on this are very similar to some ancient records of the prairie barbarians that I know. If this is really the Yuanzu Divine Stone, then it may contain something. Secrets Made by Temple Warriors."

"Yes, but our current location is deep in the grassland. If we want to leave here and return to the Wei Dynasty, it will not be easy!"

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang immediately looked at the entrance of the valley with vigilance, and saw a group of prairie barbarian warriors approaching quickly.

Fang Yue thought for a moment, and then said: "We cannot take risks and march blindly. We need a careful plan. First, we must determine our current specific location, and then find a relatively safe evacuation route."

"Maybe our whereabouts were discovered, or there was some other way to track us."

The two rested for a while, and Fang Yue once again took out the object that was suspected to be the Ancestral Divine Stone and looked at it carefully.

Zhu Linlang took the stone in confusion, looked at it for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly widened with an expression of disbelief: "Is this... is this the legendary ancestral stone?"

As night falls, the stars reflect the vastness of the grassland.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang took advantage of the cover of night and embarked on their return journey.

They avoided the main road and chose a remote but relatively flat path.

Fang Yue explored the path ahead, while Zhu Linlang followed closely behind, moving forward cautiously.

Although the night in the grassland was cold and windy, both of them were highly concentrated and always alert to the movements around them.

After a hard night's trek, they finally reached the edge of a forest before dawn.

Fang Yue observed the surrounding environment, and then pointed deep into the woods: "Let's take a rest in the woods first, and wait until dark before moving on."

The two found a secluded place, simply ate some dry food, and then fell into a deep sleep.

When they woke up, it was already evening.

Fang Yue patted the dust on his body and stood up: "We have to move on. Let's try to see if we can find local people tomorrow. Let's look at our current location from them."

Zhu Linlang nodded, followed closely behind Fang Yue, and the two embarked on the return journey again.

~~~~~~~
The moonlight shines on the vast grassland like a silver ocean.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang took advantage of the moonlight to quickly and cautiously walk through the grassland.

In the night, the sound of wind and insects on the grassland and the occasional sound of horse hooves in the distance are intertwined to form a unique night scene of the grassland.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang both remained silent in tacit agreement. As time passed, a grassland tribe appeared not far ahead.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang immediately hid in a bush and quietly observed the cavalry team.

They saw that the cavalry were dressed in the costumes of the prairie barbarians, holding spears and looking menacing.

"It seems to be the cavalry of the prairie barbarians."

Fang Yue whispered: "I don't know if they are here to chase us."

Zhu Linlang nodded, and the two of them continued to remain hidden, observing the movements of the cavalry team.

The cavalry team stopped at the entrance of the tribe, had a brief exchange with the tribe's guards, and then entered the tribe.

Zhu Linlang breathed a sigh of relief: "What should we do now?"

"We'll go there after they leave."

There are no people on the grassland for thousands of miles, and supplies are too difficult. It is not easy to encounter a grassland tribe.

Not only can you replenish your food here, but you can also get some news.

The two waited patiently for a while, but the cavalry did not leave.

Fang Yue knew that these people would not leave for a short time, so he said, "Wait for me here for a while. I will come as soon as I go."

Fang Yue's skills are tyrannical, and he is not afraid as long as there are no top masters attacking him.

Zhu Linlang nodded. He had full confidence in Fang Yue's strength, so he hid in the grass and waited with peace of mind.

Fang Yue approached the tribe quietly. He used his skills to minimize his aura to avoid being discovered by the people in the tribe.

Like a gust of wind, he traveled through the periphery of the tribe lightly and quickly and came to the center of the tribe.

There, he saw the cavalry team he had observed before, sitting around the fire and talking about something.

Fang Yue approached cautiously, trying to hear their conversation clearly.

The voices of the cavalry were low and powerful, but because they spoke the language of the prairie barbarians, Fang Yue could only understand some scattered words.

However, judging from their tone and expressions, they did not seem to be following anyone. Instead, they seemed to have come to this tribe to enjoy the autumn wind.

Immediately, he looked around and carefully observed the layout and architecture of the tribe.

At this time, he noticed a relatively spacious tent, which seemed to be an important meeting place for this tribe.

There were some guards around the tent, but they didn't appear particularly alert.

Fang Yue immediately sneaked in.

"This should be the tent of a senior member of the tribe, or even the leader of the tribe. There is actually a grassland map here."

As soon as Fang Yue entered the tent, he saw an animal skin map hanging.

Fang Yue felt happy and quickly stepped forward to observe carefully.

The map depicts detailed grassland landforms, including mountains, rivers, grasslands and the locations of various tribes.

This is undoubtedly a valuable piece of information for Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang.

They can use this map to plan a safe evacuation route and avoid wandering blindly on the grassland.

Fang Yue quickly memorized the map in his mind, and then quietly left the tent.

He did not take away the map because doing so might alert the tribe and cause them unnecessary trouble.

Afterwards, he collected some food among the tribes, and then left quietly.

Just wait until Fang Yue leaves.

Several barbarians with good auras walked out of the darkness and came to the tent just now.

"Has that person been here?"

"He should have been here before. Hehe, that's good. Just wait until you enter the trap. Otherwise, it will be really difficult to track this person if he escapes."

The barbarians were chatting in low voices in the tent. It was obvious that they had known about Fang Yue's arrival and deliberately placed the map in a conspicuous position as a bait.

"Leader, this man's movement is extremely fast and his cultivation level is not low. Can the trap we set really trap him?" A barbarian warrior asked worriedly.

"Hmph, no matter how powerful he is, he can't escape the trap we carefully laid."

The tribe leader sneered, "We will secretly deploy heavy troops on the route on that map. As long as he dares to follow that route, he will definitely die."

At the same time, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang had already set off according to the route on the map.

They crossed the grassland and crossed the river, carefully avoiding the patrols of the grassland barbarians along the way.

However, they did not realize that they were gradually walking into a huge trap.

~~~~~~~
As we galloped along, several days passed quickly.

Fang Yue and the two have traveled thousands of kilometers in the past few days. According to the map, they should not be far from the Wei Dynasty now.

On this day, Zhu Linlang, who was on his way, followed Fang Yue closely while looking around, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

She always felt like something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Fang Yue also noticed something strange about Zhu Linlang, so he asked, "Linlang, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Zhu Linlang frowned, shook her head and said, "I can't explain clearly, it always feels like we are being watched by something."

When Fang Yue heard this, his heart trembled. He also felt that there seemed to be a dangerous atmosphere in the air around him.

He glanced around but found nothing unusual.

"Maybe we are too nervous." Fang Yue tried to comfort Zhu Linlang, and at the same time he was comforting himself.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a sound broke through the air, and then a sharp arrow shot out from the grass, hitting Fang Yue's back.

Fang Yue reacted very quickly and dodged the cold arrow in a flash.

He looked back and saw a group of prairie barbarian warriors coming from all directions, surrounding them.

"Haha, you finally showed up!"

One of the leading barbarian warriors laughed and said, "Do you think you can escape from our hands with that map? You are so naive!"

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang immediately understood. It turned out that the map was a trap deliberately left by the other party to lure them into taking the bait.

"It seems that our whereabouts have always been under your surveillance!" Fang Yue asked calmly.

"That's right,"

The barbarian warrior smiled proudly and said, "From the moment you left the Sacred Valley, we have been keeping an eye on you. Every move you make is under our control."
