The monks may have different purposes for going to Black Horn Region. However, the most common ones are two possibilities.

The first is that he was hunted by other forces, forcing him to flee into Black Horn Region for refuge, and invisibly received the protection of Octagonal Tower. Over time, he naturally became a part of Black Horn Region.

Another one is those who come to Black Horn Region for Taobao.

There are more monks of this type than the former, but what is different from the former is that these monks will choose to leave Black Horn Region after getting what they want through various channels.

It is precisely for this reason that the number of monks entering and exiting the four city gates of Black Horn Region every day is quite terrifying. However, Black Horn Region is also famous for its chaos. Incidents of killing people and stealing goods are not uncommon.

Especially two years ago, after Hunters appeared on the periphery of Black Horn Region, incidents of killing people and selling goods became more frequent. This resulted in Foundation Establishment, who was slightly lower in strength. Brother, when he came to Black Horn Region or left Black Horn Region, he was always on tenterhooks from beginning to end, deeply afraid that he would be lucky enough to run into the evil spirits of Hunters.

Some low-level monks, in order to reduce the risk factor when coming and leaving, will choose to come together with friends. In this way, there will not only be someone to chat with on the way, but it will not be boring. At the same time, if you are unfortunate enough to encounter Hunters outside Black Horn Region, you will have a better chance of survival.

Today, Black Horn Region is still the same as usual. From time to time, monks will quickly pass through the outside of Black Horn Region. Some are heading inside Black Horn Region. Some are rushing back from inside Black Horn Region.

They were extremely fast, with tense expressions on each of their faces. Divine Sense was at full speed, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and they were heading towards their destination quickly, not daring to stop at all outside Black Horn Region.

"Junior brothers, hurry up and we will be safe when we pass through this area."

In the sky above Black Horn Region, ten monks wearing the same clothes stepped on Flying Artifact and walked quickly in one direction. Judging from the clothes they wore, they should belong to the same sect. The person who spoke was the monk headed by them, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, and his cultivation level had reached Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

At this time, the man's tense face was full of seriousness, his brows were furrowed, and the fingers holding the sword hilt were a little white, which was obviously caused by excessive emotional stress.

The nine people behind them were more nervous than the man in front of them. The worst thing was that their foreheads were already covered with beads of sweat. These beads of sweat were not brought about by excessive consumption of spiritual power, but because of excessive nervousness.

They had just come out of Black Horn Region, as if they had gotten something important. That's why they hurried back so quickly. They were nervous. At that time, because this place was outside Black Horn Region, monks were usually killed and stolen, mostly in this area. Hunters, which frightened the low-level monks, was also active in this area.

According to rumors, whether you are using Flying Artifact to leave from the sky, or using your body's own speed to rush from the ground, you may encounter Hunters.

As long as you bump into someone, basically don't even think about leaving intact. Either you spend money to eliminate the disaster, or you die, and in the end your money still belongs to the other person.

From the time Hunters appeared until now, it is said that they have never failed. This is because they are also selective about their prey. They obviously know that they are not their opponents, and they will never provoke them.

This is also an important reason why Hunters can survive until now in Black Horn Region.

"Brother, do you think we will encounter Hunters?" The ten people moved forward quickly. Behind the middle-aged man at the head, a young man with a lower strength looked panicked and asked the man in front of him. The fear in his tone could be heard by everyone.

"Shut your crow mouth!" Before the middle-aged man at the head could reply, a monk next to him shouted coldly.

At the same time, a look of fear flashed across the faces of several other people. Here, the words Hunters were simply a nightmare for a monk whose cultivation was only Foundation Establishment Realm.

At this time, what they were most afraid of hearing was the word 'Hunters'. Their fellow juniors actually mentioned Hunters at this time, which was simply irritating their nerves.

Sensing the change in the face of his fellow disciples, the look of fear in the monk's eyes became more intense. Even the Flying Artifact he controlled was shaking a little, looking unsteady.

"Junior brother! Stay calm, how do you behave like this!" The leading middle-aged man who turned around happened to see the fearful look on his junior brother's face. He frowned and quickly reminded him.

The voice of the leading man added his own spiritual power, and his voice was not loud, but in the monk's ears, it sounded like thunder, making his whole body tremble.

The fear in his heart also slightly disappeared under this trembling. Taking a deep breath, although there was still fear flashing in the young monk's eyes, it was much better than before.

At least, Flying Artifact, which was shaking under its feet, has been successfully controlled and stabilized, avoiding the danger of falling from the sky.

Seeing that his junior brother was slowly recovering, the leading man turned his neck back. However, with a sad look on his face, he was obviously very worried in his heart.

"We haven't even met Hunters yet, and I've scared you like this. If we really meet you, will you still have the courage to fight?" While flying, the serious voice of the leading middle-aged man sounded in the ears of the nine people behind him.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the nine people became unnatural.

"What the senior brother is teaching is, however, what happened this time is extremely important to the sect. The junior brothers are under great pressure, and it is normal for them to be worried." Behind him, a monk said.

"As you said, the things this time are of great importance, so we have to be more vigilant and not lose control because of the fear in our hearts. As you are now, even if we don't meet Hunters here, it will be difficult to send the things back to the division. Who can be sure that we will have smooth sailing on the road ahead."

When the leading middle-aged man finished speaking, the nine people behind him fell into silence. After a few breaths of time, another monk spoke up and said, "Senior brother, what you said makes sense, let's adjust our state now."

They all seemed to feel that their condition was not good, and their fear became more and more serious. Several other people nodded one after another, and the fear in their eyes slowly receded.

Although the middle-aged man in front did not turn around to look at the expressions of the few people, the aura emanating from the few people slowly returned to a stable state, and the middle-aged man could really feel it.

A look of relief appeared in the middle-aged man's eyes.

"It should have been like this a long time ago!" The middle-aged man praised, nodded heavily, and then continued to say to the people behind him, "Go with all your strength, and leave the Black Horn Region perimeter earlier, and we will be safer earlier!"

"There are many monks coming in and out of Black Horn Region every day. The chance of us bumping into Hunters is very small. How could it be such a coincidence that our fellow apprentices would have the misfortune to meet them!" The middle-aged man at the head turned around, tried his best to put a smile on his face, and said to the group of fellow apprentices behind him.

He was the backbone of the ten people, and of course the worries and fears in his heart could not be shown on his face. Even though he was equally worried in his heart, he still tried his best to appear calm in front of his junior brothers.

However, the smile on the leader's face was so unnatural.

"What senior brother said is absolutely true, we..."

The unnatural smile on the leading man's face was seen by the nine people behind him. However, no one could point it out at this time. In order to alleviate the fear in his heart, another monk also smiled and nodded, cheering for himself and his brothers. However, as soon as he said the words, the monk's face changed drastically.

"What is that~!" The monk's expression suddenly changed, and he pointed forward and said in a voiceless voice.
