Zhao Cang hurriedly ran out of the tent.

However, there was no fire in the camp.

"What's going on?" Zhao Cang shouted.

A soldier ran over and said nervously: "Commander, there's a fire!"

Zhao Cang looked around, “Nonsense, where is the fire?”

The soldier pointed to the northern hillside.

Sure enough, a blazing fire broke out.

It's strange. It should be a snowy day in the cold winter. How could a fire happen?

At this moment, Yan Bei also hurried over.

"Commander Zhao, there is a fire in the north!" Yan Bei was not in a hurry and said slowly.

"Everyone was shouting and screaming, I thought the camp was on fire. Then the fire in the north has something to do with us?" Zhao Cang asked.

"Aren't we going to that place?"

"So, what you mean? There's someone there?"

"Whether there are people or not, I don't know, but at least there are things."

Zhao Cang nodded.

There was no vegetation where the fire broke out, just bare mountains.

Could it be that stones and soil could catch fire?

At this time, it was already late at night.

Going to explore in the dark is extremely risky.

Besides, they are not firefighters. Advancing deep into the fire would be seeking death.

The two agreed on this point.

So they decided to arrange a few people to keep a close eye on the fire and decide whether to go there after daybreak.

Zhao Cang returned to the tent and remembered what Ba Yao had said.

He said that the previous team members disappeared nearby.

Could it be that their disappearance is also related to this nameless fire?

Zhao Cang couldn't figure it out, so he lay on the bed, holding the quantum gun tightly in his hand to prevent anything from taking the opportunity to hurt anyone.

One night, everything was peaceful.

By daybreak, the fire on the northern hillside had long been extinguished.

The soldier on duty reported that the fire did not spread and remained in that location.

Around two or three in the morning, it began to slowly get smaller.

Until five o'clock in the morning, there was not even a trace of fire.

Zhao Cang rubbed his eyes as he had not slept all night and suddenly felt tired.

It's like guarding against a thief all night, but the thief doesn't come and you're the one who gets tired first.

Gu Ling also did not sleep all night.

This Kang Tongfeng was far more complicated than he had imagined.

It is also far more complicated than the situation in Huiping Lake and Ning'an Island.

Gu Ling couldn't help but think: On the way to Linzhou City, he will meet Feng Xian and pay homage to the Nine Heavens Saint.

This seemed to determine the future path.

Otherwise, based on his strength, he would have been killed by Feng Lao San in Fengjiacun long ago.

After that, at the bottom of the Lake of Corpses, he would most likely die at the hands of the man in red.

What he couldn't understand was why the red-robed man at the sixth level would play such a trick on him?

He had asked Feng Xian last night.

Feng Xian’s reply was that she didn’t know either.

She didn't look like she was lying.

They come, the security.

When Gu Ling thought about taking the inner elixir of the purple spirit cicada, he felt a little panicked unconsciously.

Isn't this just like using an egg to fight a stone?

Feng Xian saw Gu Ling with big panda eyes and was trying hard to hold back his laughter.

But he couldn't help laughing.

"Master Gu, you can't be that scared, can you?"

"I'm not that scared. I was just thinking about my next plan all night long!"

"So? What's the plan?"

Gu Ling shook his head and said with a smile: "The secret cannot be leaked!"

"Tsk, stop playing tricks!" Feng Xian laughed at Gu Ling with disdain, "What do you think of the will-o'-the-wisp yesterday?"

"I'll open my eyes and watch!" Gu Ling retorted unconvincedly, paused, and then said: "It may be the enemy's trick!"

Enemies? Where did the enemies come from?

In Gu Ling's heart, ever since he entered Kangtong Peak, he has always felt that there is a pair of eyes staring at him from behind.

Before yesterday, he had subconsciously thought that those eyes belonged to Zhao Cang.

However, after arriving at Buxi City and Bushi Lake, this view changed.

Zhao Cang is just one of them.

There are other eyes besides Zhao Cang.

However, no matter how much Gu Ling thought about it at this time, he could not think of Zhu Mingyuan.

……

It took nearly two hours to reach the site of the fire last night.

Zhao Cang and the soldiers checked carefully and found no traces of fire.

Yan Bei also examined it carefully and his conclusion was consistent with Zhao Cang's.

"Captain Yan, what do you think about this?" Zhao Cang asked.

"What about the commander's opinion?" Yan Bei asked back.

"I'm good at studying special animals, but this... I'm really a layman!"

Zhao Cang didn't make any excuses and just told the truth.

On the surface, he is indeed a commander, but only a commander who kills alien beasts.

He was just appointed by Deng Shao as the commander-in-chief of the Kang Tongfeng incident.

But in politics and the military, there is actually no official position.

If Zhao Cang can achieve something in Kangtong Peak this time, perhaps he will have a place in the Chinese Congress.

"Commander Zhao is too modest! Then I, Yan, will throw out some ideas first!"

As they were talking, Gu Ling and Feng Xian also gathered around.

Zhao Cang, Ba Yao, Gu Ling, Yan Bei, and Feng Xian, the five of them stood facing each other.

Yan Bei glanced at Gu Ling.

Gu Ling did not move, signaling Yan Bei to continue.

He also didn't understand what the fire was about last night.

"I just checked carefully. There are no other footprints here except our own!"

"There was a fire in the middle of the night, and I didn't hear any sound!"

"Although, our camp last night should be two or three kilometers away from here!"

"But there was wind yesterday, and the wind was blowing towards the camp."

"With such a big fire, if there are really people or animals here, there must be shouting. We should be able to hear it with the wind!"

"Besides, there are no human or animal corpses here!"

"So, according to my judgment, the fire last night was either an illusion or a will-o'-the-wisp!"

Yan Bei explained his analysis ideas and the conclusions he reached in detail.

"Hallucination? How is that possible? Captain Yan, you are not the only one who saw the fire at night. We... we all saw it, right?" Zhao Cang asked back.

Ba Yao nodded, but Gu Ling and Feng Xian remained silent.

"Commander Zhao, Mirage, this should be it!"

"Mirages should naturally appear at sea level. Or, in places with heavy fog. This is a plateau, and there was no fog last night!" Zhao Cang retorted.

"Mirages can also appear in deserts and snowy mountains... The reason behind this is too complicated..." Yan Bei seemed a little angry. Zhao Cang's pretending to know was really annoying. "However, this could also be a will-o'-the-wisp... This is my conclusion!"

Zhao Cang looked down at the place where the fire had occurred last night, "Willow fire? There should be at least bones! Could it be under this stone?"

Everyone lowered their heads. At this moment, they were standing on a huge rock.

Gu Ling also shook his head subconsciously: Where did the ghost fire come from on the stone? It must be a trick!
