Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

Compared with ordinary small towns, the town in this small mountain valley is quite large.

Outside the town, there is a ring of city walls made of large, rough stones stacked up, and the height is about one foot, five or six feet. Such walls cannot defend against enemies, but they can withstand wild beasts.

This place is located on the bank of the Ye Xuan River and is also on the outskirts of the Tianping Mountains. There are almost no large monsters here, and even wild beasts rarely appear. Only some hungry beasts would choose to attack human settlements because they lost their minds.

This kind of city wall made of stones of different sizes can be climbed by even a young warrior in the early stages of physical strength. Only those wild beasts will have some difficulty climbing over it.

This place is surrounded by mountains. Although the mountains are not high, they surround the entire formation. Zuo Feng was standing on a hill at this time, his hawk-like gaze cruising rapidly below. With the help of the dim moonlight, his eyesight was not much worse than during the day.

"The small town that the city lord mentioned should be the place in front of me. Judging from the scale, this small formation only has about thirty or forty households, with a population of two to three hundred people. I just don't know how strong the force is in the town." See the same view. He touched the moxa fire below and reminded Zuo Feng softly in his ear.

After pondering for a while, Zuo Feng said: "Logically speaking, this town should be where the Lin family settled their families. From the surface, the situation is similar to what you said, and if the information is correct, this The town should be dominated by old people, and there should be no very strong warriors.”

Seeing the people around him looking puzzled, Zuo Feng opened his mouth to explain a little bit. It turns out that after the Lin family went into hiding, they resettled some elderly clan members, and these people were provided with different resettlement conditions based on the strength of their children and their contributions to the family.

For example, Shu Zai's current strength is not particularly outstanding among the younger generation, and he is not young enough to make much contribution. His parents can only arrange it in this remote town at the border of the two countries.

It would not be too accurate to say that these people here are all old, weak, women and children, because according to Shu Zai’s introduction, most of the people in the town are old people, but there will be no children, because the children of the Lin family will be able to are brought together for training and development.

In the town in front of him, the only warriors who were truly worthy of a fight were the dozen or so warriors who were sent to take turns "looking after" them. These people are obviously the guards of the town, but they also have another identity as guards who guard the people in the town. This is also a way for the family to control the warriors in the clan.

After listening to Zuo Feng's introduction, Ai Huo's expression relaxed and he nodded and said, "If it's just this kind of combat power and we're not prepared for a head-on conflict, there won't be any danger in the action."

A little different from Ai Huo, Ai Hu, who had never spoken a word, noticed Zuo Feng's expression. When his brother Ai Huo said the mission was "easy", Zuo Feng's brows frowned slightly.

This young man, who was slightly younger than Amber, immediately asked: "I wonder what the city lord thinks, does he think there is anything wrong?"

He turned to look at Ai Hu with a slight surprise. When the other party asked this question, he obviously noticed that his expression was different. When he turned around to look, he saw Ai Hu humbly asking for advice. Zuo Feng couldn't help but smile to himself, "This guy is quite attentive. He is observant and kind at such an age. If he can really follow me wholeheartedly in the future, it will be great." Might as well cultivate it a little bit. ’

With this thought in his mind, Zuo Feng looked at the town in the distance again and said, "It's not like there's anything wrong, it's just that the town below always looks awkward."

"Awkward?" Brothers Ai Huo and Ai Hu said at the same time.

Nodding, Zuo Feng pointed downwards and slowly explained: "It's dark and unusually quiet down here. Everyone has fallen asleep at this time, which is considered a normal phenomenon.

But just now Ai Huo asked about the specific situation in the town, and he mentioned that there were more than a dozen guards in the town. But let alone the fact that there were no guards patrolling, not even half a person was seen. "

Hearing what Zuo Feng said, Ai Huo smiled and shook his head, saying: "The city lord is indeed careful, but in my opinion, he is a little too careful.

Thinking about it, these people have been arranged here without any accidents for countless years. And this place is so remote, the Lin family may have forgotten it long ago. Those guards are probably just showing off now, and they are not really guarding them seriously. They stay up in the middle of the night and patrol around. "

There is some truth in the analysis of these words. In fact, the patrols of the guards on weekdays are indeed in vain. As soon as it gets dark, they gather together for entertainment.

After all, the children or grandchildren of those in the town are all performing family tasks everywhere, or they are practicing in a secret place of the family. These old guys in the town are all reaching their old age. Who would suddenly go crazy and run away, causing trouble for their children?

This was the truth, but Zuo Feng still felt a little awkward, but apart from being too quiet, he couldn't tell what the problem was.

Originally, Ai Huo still had a deep respect for this city lord. Whether it was luck or external force, after all, he had killed a terrifying guy like Ming Hai and almost wiped out all the Nether Beast Blood Slaughterers in the city.

But now the city lord is so cautious when facing such a small town, and he can't help but feel a trace of contempt in his heart, and then he said impatiently: "If the city lord is still not at ease, then I will take someone in to investigate. If nothing happens, I will Just bring them out directly. If there is any accident, you can respond from outside."

As soon as his eyes moved, Zuo Feng turned his head and took a deep look at Ai Huo, already understanding what the other person was thinking. After a moment's hesitation, Zuo Feng nodded and said, "Well, we can't keep observing like this. Since we want to know the reality, it's better to go directly into it."

Ai Huo no longer hesitated, shouted four names casually, led the four people directly down from the hill, and rushed straight towards the town.

Watching the five people rush down the hill quickly, they arrived at the stone wall in a few breaths. The five people observed for a while outside the wall, and then jumped up one after another. The surface of the stone wall was uneven. With the strength of a few people, they could easily cross the stone wall in a few clicks.

Suddenly, Zuo Feng's gaze shrank slightly, and his hawk-like gaze suddenly fell on a house next to a stone wall. Although it was only a short moment, there was a glimmer of light just now.

If Zuo Feng hadn't always paid attention to what was going on in the town, and it was a night like this, he probably wouldn't have been able to catch this extremely inconspicuous glimmer.

"not good!"

As he said this, Zuo Feng moved out and flew out, not towards the town below, but quickly along the side of the hill in the direction of Ye Xuanjiang.

Ai Hu was a little surprised by his brother's performance just now, but he also felt that Zuo Feng was indeed a little too cautious.

Seeing that his elder brother and four brothers had climbed over the wall and entered without any change, his heart slowly relaxed. But now he suddenly saw Zuo Feng's reaction, and his heart started to lift.

However, he and several Kuocheng warriors behind him were even more puzzled by Zuo Feng's reaction at this time. He clearly sensed that there was a problem and should rush to deal with it as soon as possible, but instead of heading into the town quickly, he insisted on moving laterally.

The speed of his feet suddenly increased, and he caught up with Zuo Feng in a few steps. At the same time, he whispered: "What happened? Is there something wrong in the town?"

Zuo Feng, who looked gloomy, quickly scanned the situation in the town while releasing his mind power to quickly explore the surroundings.

He said in a gloomy voice: "I didn't expect just now that the silence in Qishan Town could be explained by the guards neglecting their duties. But there is no light in this town. This is probably a little too weird. It's obviously not It’s in line with common sense.”

As Zuo Feng spoke, he pointed to the place below near the stone wall and said: "Those buildings should be residences for the guards. I can understand them being lazy and not patrolling in the city, but they extinguished all the lights. Something is not normal.”

Although Ai Hu is still young, he is by no means an ignorant young man just starting out. Hearing what Zuo Feng said, he immediately felt something was wrong. It's understandable for people on duty to be lazy at night, but it's a bit unusual for all the lights on the night watch to be extinguished.

Looking worriedly towards the town, Ai Hu was worried about his brother's safety and couldn't help but asked anxiously: "In this case, we should call them back as soon as possible, or go over to meet them, but where are we going now?"

After hastily shouting "message", Zuo Feng took out a sound transmission stone and injected spiritual energy into it. Ai Hu understood immediately and had to admit that Zuo Feng's reaction was the most correct, but in his heart he was very worried about his brother's safety.

Since Qishan Town has already made arrangements, no matter how the other party gets the information, they must have made preparations in advance. If his brother is careless, the consequences will be disastrous.

On the contrary, Zuo Feng still had the gloomy look on his face at this time, which was not much different from before. Without even looking back, he had already seen through Ai Hu's thoughts.

"The flash of light just now was probably not a summons, which means that most of the arrangements have been completed internally. And if they didn't take action immediately, they must have follow-up arrangements, so they won't rush to take action."

Ai Hu, who was very anxious, thought about it a little and felt that what Zuo Feng said made sense, and he finally let go of his worries.

Just at this time, the sound transmission stone in Zuo Feng's hand trembled slightly. Zuo Feng did not wait for the other party to speak, and immediately said through the sound transmission: "Lead people across Ye Xuanjiang River, pay attention to the surrounding situation, and stay close to me for the time being, and don't follow me. I'll join you!"
