Duanshanya Mountains, next to the camp.

More than a dozen horses of different colors were galloping on a deserted grassland, neighing continuously, obviously frightened.

Black, white, and red horses were among them, rolling up smoke and dust, followed closely by several warriors, constantly cursing.

The warriors who had just returned to the camp looked at each other in shock when they saw this scene. Then they looked at the black smoke rising everywhere in the camp, accompanied by the appearance of some sparks, and they suddenly understood something.

Could it be that there was a fire in the Duanshaya camp?

These are the doubts in the hearts of the warriors who have just entered the camp. Of course, Lin Qi, who is in the center of the crowd, is no exception. He is a little surprised when he looks at these panicked horses.

Some guards nearby were also gathering people to put out the fire in a panic. They didn't bother to check the identities of the passing warriors. Lin Qi just walked into the camp.

In the mountain camp, the presence of various forces is only distinguished according to different areas, but there are no guardrails or protective things around, and they are all guarded by guards.

These horses escaped from the stables guarded by specialized warriors and ran freely on the flat ground.

Lin Qi looked at the many warriors next to him. Many of them were watching from the side. Some warriors even had smiles on their faces and chatted comfortably with the people next to them without much panic.

After all, the matter has nothing to do with them, and their interests are probably not affected by the fire, so they are so casual.

But Lin Qi was different. Looking at this scene, his face changed slightly. He suddenly thought of something and immediately ran towards the place where he had stored Xiao Hei.

In order to be able to go to the Duanshaya Mountains alone, Lin Qi found a place where he could take care of the horses and handed over a certain amount of spiritual stones.

The warrior in charge of this kind of business also swore to Lin Qi that even if Xiao Hei was left here, there would definitely be no problem.

In fact, there are many warriors who specialize in this business, not just this one.

Lin Qi saw that this warrior was relatively honest and enthusiastic, and the price was relatively cheap, so he left Xiao Hei here.

But when Lin Qi arrived at the place where he kept his horses, he saw that the fence in front of him was completely destroyed and broken into pieces, and then the horse fence inside was completely burned with fire, and Lin Qi's face turned dark.

The place where the horses are kept inside only has a simple fence and a wooden house, as well as some simple shelters from the wind and rain.

However, now they are all swallowed up by the fire, and some charcoal still retains a red light.

And now, the wind was gradually blowing in the camp, and the firelight and black debris flew up with the strong wind, falling on Lin Qi's face and hair, making him look even more angry.

What about the promises made before? What special guards were agreed upon?

The paralyzed warrior did not stay in the stable after all the horses fled, and had already disappeared without a trace.

There is no horse in the stable at this time.

By the way, this is a bit inaccurate. To be precise, there is a maroon horse, but with the smell of meat, it has completely turned into a black piece...

Lin Qi looked at the scene in front of him and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

In other words, Shenjun's Xiao Hei also disappeared?

Lin Qi wiped the black shavings from the flames off his face, stood there, and did not leave for a long time.

After a while, several warriors who had kept their horses here like Lin Qi came here to look for their beloved horses. They all had gloomy faces and cursed:

"That bastard also said it was foolproof. I have only entered the Duanshaya Mountains a few days ago, and my beloved horse has disappeared. Who should I go to? Where are the people? Where are the people????"

"Who says it's not?! No, if I meet that bastard again, I will definitely chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs..."

"I heard from an insider just now that the camp was attacked by demon cubs. The ones who suffered the most were not us, but the businessmen who had some property robbed.

It was because the demon cubs were hiding in the camp and setting fires everywhere that the horses fled in panic..."

…

Lin Qi frowned slightly as he listened to the conversation of these warriors: "Has this camp been attacked by demon cubs?"

These devils are really brave!

Their leader, the leader of the Xiao faction, Niu Zai, had been killed by a small flying insect, and there were actually people planning to attack the camp. It was really a waste of money.

I just don’t know what the losses are to the warriors in the camp...

Lin Qi knew about this and finally understood what was going on with the dark horse that escaped from the gate before.

Afterwards, Lin Qi turned around and left, thinking about how to find traces of Xiao Hei.

Nowadays, some warriors are walking around in the camp, and military attachés from the Military Attaché are also inside to maintain order and prevent greater chaos from happening.

Unexpectedly, the place where the horses were stored was attacked, and many other places were set on fire. Burnt charcoal was everywhere, and there were some warriors with livid faces.

Lin Qi also asked the warriors at the scene what happened.

Some demon cubs mingled with the warriors in the camp, then set fire to it, plundered a certain amount of property, and then left in a hurry. No fighting broke out, leaving only a few corpses of the demon cubs.

The warriors in the camp were not seriously injured. The original target of these demon cubs was not the lives of the warriors in the camp, but some property, including mysterious weapons, elixirs, and spiritual stones.

The groups that suffered the most losses were those who set up street stalls in the camp or the businessmen who did business in the camp.

This simple attack cast a shadow over Lin Qi's heart.

Xiao Hei, this black horse was originally a gift that he planned to give to Xiao Ling.

Now that I have gone to the Duanshaya Mountains and lost Xiao Hei, how can I explain this to Xiao Ling?

Lin Qi walked in the camp, lowering his head and thinking about countermeasures, and finally shook his head, saying that he had not thought of a good solution.

Tomorrow is the day to go to Canglang Mountain. Now Xiao Hei doesn’t even know where he has gone, and the Duanshaya Mountains are so big, who knows which direction Xiao Hei is going to?

In Lin Qi's eyes, for some reason, this black horse is more majestic and spiritual than ordinary black horses. Maybe it will return to Qinggu Town on its own.

However, what made Lin Qi a little confused was that the warriors here didn't know everything that happened in the Black Forest?

No warriors discussed the death of this great figure Niu Zai.

Lin Qi walked until he reached the central area of ​​the camp, which was guarded by some military attachés and the rules were strict.

Just here, a military attache walked out of the simple door and happened to meet Lin Qi, who was walking around the military attache's palace area. He was startled at first, then showed surprise on his face, and immediately walked up to him:

"Lin Qi, did you come out alive? Did that mysterious monster hurt you? What was the final result?"

It has been quite a while since the group of them returned to the camp.

In the camp, the alchemist quickly cured Pan Fu's injury, and Pan Fu had woken up, but was still worried about the situation in the Black Mulberry Forest.

Moreover, after Pan Fu woke up, he planned to go to the Black Forest again, but his combat power had not returned to its peak.

After being stopped by a kind of warrior, they made some plans together and met Lin Qi.

Lin Qi looked at Pengshan's slightly surprised look, but didn't complain at all.

At that time, Pengshan saw this and took Pan Fu away. If it were him, the situation was unknown, and leaving would be his first choice.

Lin Qi said with a smile on his face: "I should tell Commander Pan about the situation of the cattle slaughter and the mysterious monster in person. Where is Commander Pan now?"

Pengshan heard Lin Qi's words and immediately responded: "Commander Pan is at the central camp at this time, you come with me..."

Lin Qi's somewhat respectful attitude towards Pengshan also showed some confusion on his face.

But Pengshan felt that it was appropriate and treated Lin Qi just like Commander Pan.

Along the way, everything was explained very clearly to Lin Qi.

If you want this young man, you may have a mysterious monster that can kill Niu Zai.

Now that Lin Qi was alive, although he didn't know the situation of the monster, he felt that he would not have any ill intentions towards Lin Qi.

The difference at this point is huge.

Under the watchful eye of a group of guards, under the leadership of Pengshan, Lin Qi entered the area controlled by military attachés.

There are many tents inside, most of them are well-made, much better looking than those sold outside, and the area is quite large.

After the two of them walked around a dozen camps together, Pengshan led Lin Qi into the central camp.

Then Pengshan stood guard outside and motioned to Lin Qi to come in.

Lin Qi didn't show too much restraint and walked directly into the camp guarded by two military attaches.

As soon as Lin Qi entered, he saw Pan Fu clinging to the table, writing something.

Pan Fu's face was slightly pale. When he saw Lin Qi, he immediately stopped writing. Just like Pengshan when he saw Lin Qi before, he also had a look of surprise on his face.

He hurriedly asked: "Lin Qi, since you are fine, who is that mysterious monster?"

When he was unconscious at that time, he knew that he had almost died at the hands of Niu Zai. The mysterious monster at the peak of the Broken Spirit Realm alone might not be Niu Zai's opponent.

It wasn't until he woke up that Pengshan explained to him what he knew and saw in Black Mulberry Forest, and said that it was the black silkworm that killed Niu Zai.

But at that moment, a vision suddenly occurred. To be on the safe side, Pengshan took Pan Fu and left the depths of the black mulberry forest, leaving Lin Qi alone.

Peng Shan said that Niu Zai was dead, but Pan Fu had not seen it with his own eyes, so he was somewhat wary.

Now that Lin Qi had returned safely, he also wanted to know from Lin Qi whether the cow was killed or not.

Moreover, Pan Fu was worried before that if the black silkworm entered the divine tower realm, would it cause harm to Lin Qi?

Lin Qi was also a military attaché and the town leader specifically asked him to protect the person. If something went wrong here, he would not be able to escape the blame.

Lin Qi looked at Pan Fu's anxious expression calmly and said calmly:

"Commander Pan doesn't have to worry about Niu Zai. He is already dead. As for the black wave silkworm, he disappeared after killing Niu Zai. I don't know where it went..."

Lin Qi must not let Pan Fu know the details. This is the simplest reason.
