Chapter 164 The world is in chaos
In a quarter of an hour, Lu Yi and the others arrived at the place where Lu Feng came. At this time, several groups of people had gathered on the official road. Seeing that there were merchants, farmers, and some hunters and cultivators, fifty feet ahead of everyone, it was a small town with a scale of only three or four hundred households. The entire town was built according to the official road, with low hills and dense forests on both sides. The straight official road was also the main road of the town. This town was not much different from other towns. It just surrounded the entire town with some hundred-year-old trees. The town had a gate at the official road, which was also made of trees, and several simple third-level defensive formations were added on it. Now the gate was closed, and there were several cultivators standing on the observation deck behind the wall.
The matter was quickly understood in the conversation between these passers-by. The town was called Mijiazhuang. The whole town was a miniature monk family. The people in the town were surnamed Mi. Within a few hundred miles nearby, this Mijiazhuang was considered a family of relatively good cultivators. Although there were no high-level monks, there were still quite a few third-level and fourth-level monks. Relying on their existence, this Mijiazhuang has never been very friendly to passers-by and often bullied passers-by. However, because it is located in the jurisdiction of Lion Camel City, it has been reported to Lion Camel City many times.
He was ordered to rectify the lion camel many times. Intimidated by the official pressure, Mijiazhuang was still calm for a while. Now that the lion camel was in chaos, the people from Mijiazhuang jumped out again, stood firm and closed the gate, and posted a notice in front of the door that anyone passing by this place must pay a low-grade spirit stone, otherwise they can only detour the hills and dense forests on both sides. There are many monsters in the dense forest. Although the level is not high, it is not something that ordinary people can deal with. And I heard that there is a robbery in it. So now people gather here and sent several representatives to negotiate.
After a while, Ouyang Ye and his other cars arrived, and everyone was scattered among the crowd, sending messages to each other and discussing what to do.
At this time, the town gate in front opened, and several people stumbled out from the inside, and came to the front of everyone. They were the representatives who went to negotiate. The clothes on the people were broken and wounded. As soon as they returned to the crowd, they immediately spread their legs on the ground and didn't get up for a long time. Needless to say, the negotiations had been failed. Some timid or no urgent matters in the crowd changed direction when they saw this scene and began to walk back. Several low-level cultivators gathered together for a while, and then entered the woodland next to them, intending to go around. The scattered crowd began to go their separate ways, and soon gathered in front of the town.
There were only thirty or fifty people left in the hundredth. At this time, a few waves of people came one after another. After learning about the situation, they also made different choices. Lu Yi did not want to be exposed now, so he discussed with everyone and planned to go around. In order to cover up, Lu Yi deliberately arranged to find a few casual cultivators and a small caravan. Everyone discussed climbing over the hill next to him. Due to the large number of people, the team was very eye-catching, and there were constant joiners, and soon the number of people reached more than thirty. With so many people moving, the people who stayed there were immediately reduced by half. The group rushed to the hill next to him along a small path intestinal path.
The hill is not high, only about five hundred feet, and it stretches for dozens of miles. The mountain is relatively flat, but there are many weeds and trees, but there are no things that have been produced. Most of them are trees and common weeds and shrubs for decades. In order not to expose their strength, everyone and a group of civilian merchants naturally slowed down. This circle was impossible to pass before dark, and they had to spend a night on the mountain. There were no high-level monsters in the mountains, most of which were cloud rabbits and the lowest-level monsters of moon wolves. With their momentum, everyone frightened them away from afar. They just met a big, three, four fangs on the hillside, like a family who came out to bask in the sun. After seeing the crowd, they rushed over like crazy and finally obediently.
Everyone added a rich dinner. When the crowd climbed over the hill and came to the hillside behind the hill, it was already night. Everyone found a place that was almost clean, lit a campfire, sat around and ate something. Everyone put down the bedding, and camped here tonight. At this time, a casual cultivator escorted the caravan to take out a piece of array talisman and arranged the simplest first-level early warning formation on the periphery. This formation had no other function. It would only make a sharp sound when an invader entered within twenty feet of the formation, without any attack or defense. It is a common item for people who traveled outside all year round. It can be bought in ordinary shops and is not expensive. A low-grade spirit stone can buy more than a dozen of these array talismans.
Lu Yi and others also pretended to rest, but in fact they all cheered up secretly, because when everyone first entered the mountain, Lu Yi found someone following behind him. The other party was skilled and knew the art of restraining energy, but he could not escape the scrutiny of Lu Yi's mental power. The man kept a hundred feet away from the main force, and was always hanging behind everyone. He accelerated his departure until everyone lit a bonfire to prepare for camping. It was obvious that he was uneasy and probably went to move troops. After he left, Lu Yi secretly notified Lu Feng and the others, but he pretended to be a small escape and walked to the outside of the camp alone.
One hour later, Lu Yi quietly returned to the camp and informed everyone that the enemy had arrived, and there were a large number of people, as many as fifty-two people. There were ten third-level monks and two fourth-level monks. After a brief arrangement of tactics, Lu Yi pretended to be asleep with everyone. Half an hour later, Lu Yi moved and said, "Here you come!"
"Zhi!" A sharp sound woke everyone from their sleep. Everyone opened their eyes in horror and looked around in confusion, trying to find out what touched the warning array. The few casual cultivators even took out magic weapons and looked at the distant mountains and forests with a nervous look on their faces.
