Zhou Suining was looking down at a crack when he suddenly looked up to the top of the mountain with a feeling of bliss.

"Zhou Juncheng, what happened?"

Song Xu, one of the team leaders, noticed something strange about him and asked immediately.

"Captain Song, look at the top of the mountain. Is there something watching us?"

Zhou Suining raised his hand and pointed at the place where Lu Yang and Chu Ruoyun had stood before.

Song Xu raised his eyes and saw nothing but empty space.

He did not answer hastily, but flew up directly and landed lightly on the top of the mountain.

Except for a few jagged rocks, the scenery on the top of the mountain is almost unobstructed.

Song Xu walked back and forth several times before returning to Zhou Suining.

"Zhou Juncheng, the subordinates above have checked it many times and found nothing."

"Nothing? How could..."

Zhou Suining frowned and murmured to himself in confusion.

"Zhou Juncheng, my subordinates think that you were too affected by the previous vision in the city, and some plants and trees have become soldiers!"

Tian Ling, the other squad leader, said displeasedly.

The duty of these personal guards is to protect the safety of the county governor, not to accompany a poor man who is as frightened as a frightened bird.

Although Captain Lin Tao had carefully selected them, he still could not guarantee that everyone in the Guards would respect the weak literati faction.

Zhou Suining glanced at him but said nothing.

He had been feeling like someone was staring at him just now, and there was more than one gaze.

If Song Xu, who is at the peak of the first level of Grandmaster, and Tian Ling, who is at the first level of Grand Perfection, are not aware of it, then there is only one explanation.

1. It was really just Zhou Suining’s illusion.

2. That person, or something that once existed there, had a cultivation level far beyond that of everyone present. What is even more frightening is that the other party has unknown intentions and is watching in secret, like an apex predator waiting for the opportunity to hunt.

Zhou Suining secretly hoped that it would be his illusion.

But he subconsciously increased his vigilance, and every step he took after that was more cautious.

Among the three team captains, only the third one named Wen Yan was always looking around with vigilance.

He was silent all the way, but at this moment he said: "You two idiots, don't you really smell that smell that kills people?"

Promise pointed to a cave not far away: "Go over there and have a look. The wind blowing out of it can make you vomit! If you want to embarrass Zhou Juncheng, put your nose on and take a few more steps, or you will die!"

His words immediately angered Song Xu and Tian Ling.

Among the three of them, Xu Xu has the lowest level of cultivation. He only broke through to the first level of Grandmaster three months ago and was just promoted to captain of a hundred-man team.

But from his tone, it sounded like he was the most awesome among the three.

Song Xu is relatively mature, his emotions and anger are not shown on his face, but there is a coldness hidden in his eyes.

Tian Ling was the youngest, so he was inevitably very angry and would argue with Yan Xu when he rushed up.

"Report to captain, some of our brothers are missing!"

A personal guard suddenly ran down from above and reported to the three team captains.

"What? The person disappeared somewhere!"

The expressions of the three people changed at the same time. They looked at Zhou Suining subconsciously, and then asked the guard.

"It's in a cave up there!"

The guard looked a little shaken.

He turned around and pointed to the mountain behind him: "My subordinates were ordered to check every cave and crevice. After several brothers entered the cave above, they suddenly heard two short screams and then became silent.

My subordinate originally wanted to go in and check, but saw... saw..."

"If you see anything, tell me!"

Tian Ling was impatient with his hesitation and scolded him coldly.

"My subordinate saw a light light up deep in the cave! A light bigger than five millstones put together! It only flashed for a moment and then disappeared!"

The guard's eyes suddenly bulged, as if just recalling what he saw made him shudder.

"Let's go! Go over and take a look!"

The three of them looked at each other and immediately turned around to walk up the mountain.

"Three captains, wait a moment!"

Zhou Suining suddenly took off a cloth bag from his waist and took out a small porcelain bottle.

"This is a pill made from an antidote recipe handed down from my ancestors. Holding it under the tongue can avoid hundreds of poisons. It has miraculous effects on snake venom! If you don't mind, please take it with you for protection."

The pills he poured from the bottle were red and smelled of sulfur.

"Avoid snake venom? But sulfur is added to poison people, right?"

Tian Ling made no secret of his hostility towards Zhou Suining.

Suddenly an arm stretched out beside him and took one of the pills.

"Zhou Juncheng, thank you for your kindness. I will take it."

The one who spoke was actually Song Xu!

His sudden defection left Tian Ling stunned on the spot.

It wasn't until Song Xu and Wen Xu had walked out a few steps that he hurriedly followed.

Zhou Suining looked at the remaining pill in his hand and poured it back into the porcelain bottle.

This scene all fell in the eyes of Lu Yang and his wife.

Chu Ruoyun dragged her chin and watched with gusto.

"Brother Yang, those three are not all idiots. One of them was very smart from the beginning, another one finally figured it out halfway, and the last one was dumb from beginning to end!

Look, he died the fastest here, and he died unjustly! "

Lu Yang smiled and said: "Yingzhou City favors martial arts and suppresses literature, and those practitioners look down on literati and counselors. They all think that as long as the force is strong enough, all conspiracies are just trivial.

Those who are conceited will die of blind arrogance. This is not just talk. "

The two were chatting and laughing outside, but the people in the cave were not feeling well.

In less than a moment of burning incense, the people who entered stumbled out.

There were a dozen people who entered at first, but only five or six came out.

Song Xu was carrying a person on his back, and Yan Xu was half supporting and half holding Zhou Suining. Almost everyone was covered in scars and blood!

"Quickly go! Stop the team! Return to the city immediately!"

Song Xu yelled and called back all the members of the Guards who were still searching the mountain.

After a rough head count, out of the 300 people brought out, only less than 200 were left.

This time he no longer hesitated and led everyone down the mountain, speeding towards Yingzhou City.

"We finally left. This time they should know that Brother Yang, your previous warning was true."

Chu Ruoyun clapped her hands, with a bit of unfinished expression on her face.

The most critical part of the scene just now was in the cave. In order not to alert others, she couldn't go along and enjoy it.

However, the desired result finally came out.

Judging from the way they almost fled, they must have gone back to the city to report the news.

Lu Yang also looked at the direction in which the crowd disappeared, and murmured: "I hope there is still enough time, and we can save as many as we can."
