Zuo Peng deliberately moved closer to Zuo Feng and whispered: "Teng Li's team set out the day before yesterday and should have returned to the village yesterday at the latest. I heard that they were going to explore the situation in the neighboring village this time. The hunting group has already allocated some manpower to search.
, most of the group members are also responsible for the defense of the village, so the younger group also has to go into the mountains to help expand the search area."
Zuo Feng moved back with a look of disgust on his face. He didn't understand why the other party had to get so close and speak in a lower voice. But he was concerned about Teng Li's safety and didn't bother to worry about it.
"Then who should I team up with and what position should I be responsible for?"
"You just need to go explore the Grand Canyon in Dongshan. If there are no special circumstances, you should be back before dinner."
"Myself?"
"Yes, there are really not enough manpower now. You are the strongest among us, so I believe you will have no problem. I give this to you, I think you know how to use it."
As Zuo Peng spoke, he took out a bamboo tube and handed it over directly. Zuo Feng subconsciously reached out and took it. The small bamboo tube in his hand was a fireworks cannon made by the village itself. During the day, he could call his companions through sound, and at night, he could use the sound to call his companions.
Airborne blasts provide the exact location of the shooter.
When Zuo Feng looked up again, what he saw was Zuo Peng's back leaving in a hurry, without even saying hello, and his attitude was totally different from when he first met him.
Although he felt very puzzled, Zuo Feng didn't think much about it. He put the cannon in his arms and left the village to the east without any delay.
Zuojia Village is located in the southeast of the Yelin Empire. The Yelin Empire is mainly mountainous. The Tianping Mountains surround the empire like a barrier. The inner area of the Tianping Mountains is also called a human forbidden zone because the mainland lives there.
The most terrifying existence in the world, the monster.
Standing on the top of a hill, Zuo Feng stared at the northern sky. A barrier-like mountain range stretched across the horizon. The mountains seemed to be surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, making it impossible to see the whole picture. Zuo Feng knew clearly that there were humans there.
The restricted area is where the Tianping Mountains are located.
Although he often moves in the jungle, relying on the Tianping Mountains to determine the direction is always the most accurate.
Zuo Feng frowned and looked at a gorge a few miles away. As long as he passed through it, he would be the destination of his trip. But ever since he climbed this hill, he always had a feeling of trepidation. At first, he thought it was because he was too young.
I was worried about Teng Li's safety, but when I calm down and think about it, this is not the reason.
While Zuo Feng was bowing his head in thought, a sound of "thrust" came from the grass behind him.
Zuo Feng immediately put on a fighting stance vigilantly, but secretly cursed himself for being too careless. From the sound just now, he had already judged that the opponent was only four or five feet away from him.
Being in a mountainous area, there are many wild beasts and savage beasts. Let alone a fourth-level warrior, even a warrior who has reached the tempering stage will only die if he is surrounded by wild beasts.
Judging from the sound, the opponent was moving extremely fast, and Zuo Feng's entire body became more and more tense.
Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out from behind the trees, and the two figures looked at each other and froze on the spot with wary expressions, and then started laughing at each other.
After a while, Zuo Feng rubbed his sore lower abdomen and pointed at the person opposite him.
"You stinky monkey, you can't scare people if you want to."
The person who came was none other than Zuo Hou, one of Zuo Feng's very few friends.
"You crazy man, it seems that you waited here to scare me, and you gave me a bad person to complain first."
Zuo Hou waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Do you know that both of us are in danger right now?"
Zuo Feng was slightly startled and asked eagerly: "Dangerous place, what kind of dangerous place?"
Sighing slightly, Zuo Hou said quickly: "Before this operation, I saw the two brothers Zuo Cheng and Zuo Peng sneaking around, so I quietly eavesdropped on their conversation. Because they were a little farther away, I could only hear
Just a few words, 'The ambush is ready', 'Eastward', 'Never come back'."
After a pause, he continued: "I didn't understand what they were talking about at first. Not long after I set off with the team, I saw you walking east alone. It was then that I realized that this was probably a plan targeting you.
Conspiracy, but it’s a pity that I can’t match your speed.”
Glancing at Zuo Feng helplessly, Zuo Hou sighed and continued: "From their clothing, we can vaguely judge that they are the bandits from Jinyan Mountain. From the moment we entered the mountain, we have been surrounded by them.
. Moreover, these hills to the east are not within the scope of this search at all, and the villagers will not know that we are in danger here."
Zuo Feng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then quickly climbed up a big tree next to him. After a few breaths, he had reached the top of the big tree. They were at the top of the mountain at the moment, standing on the top of the tree nearly ten miles away.
You can have a panoramic view of the entire range.
When Zuo Feng rushed down from the tree, his face became extremely heavy, and his feelings of gratitude and guilt could be seen at a glance. Although he couldn't see how many people there were, he was already sure that what Zuo Hou said was indeed the truth.
Zuo Hou obviously knew that there was an ambush here, but he still followed him resolutely for his own sake. Although Zuo Feng had thousands of words, it seemed that all his words were so powerless at this moment.
Zuo Hou seemed to have read through his thoughts, smiled, shook his head, and said: "Let's not talk about anything else between you and me. The most urgent thing is to find a way to escape from danger quickly."
Zuo Feng nodded slightly and looked around. Just now he took a rough look at the surrounding situation. The opponent's arrangement was to surround them on three sides, leaving only the east direction leading to the canyon where no one could be seen.
film.
Looking at their arrangement, it was obvious that they wanted to capture him alive in the canyon. As for why the enemy went to such great lengths to capture him alive, it was not a headache at the moment. Although the enemy moved slowly, it was estimated that it would take just a cup of tea.
Will come to the top of the mountain.
The constant pressure from the enemies caused Zuo Feng to become extremely calm at this moment. His eyes were constantly searching the surroundings, looking for anything that could be used, and his hands were also groping for the package and his arms.
Suddenly, Zuo Feng's eyes lit up. He reached out and took out a small bamboo tube from his arms. This was the cannon Zuo Peng gave him to contact his companions before leaving.
After listening to Zuo Hou's story, he already knew that there were no other companions in the village in this direction. If he raised the alarm in a critical moment, not only would no reinforcements come, but it would also hasten his own demise.
Zuo Feng, who was thinking quickly, had already figured this out when he took out the cannon. At the same time, he also outlined an escape plan in his mind, using the same cannon that was supposed to plot against him.
Seeing Zuo Hou's puzzled face, Zuo Feng knew that there was no time to explain now, as the enemy was getting closer and closer.
Find a dead branch on the ground, wind the cannon's fuse around it, then stand the cannon firmly on the ground and light the other end of the dead branch.
In the blink of an eye, Zuo Feng completed this series of actions, pulled Zuo Hou, who looked confused, and ran towards the canyon.
Two thin figures were crawling behind a huge rock, with only half of their heads exposed, looking towards the top of the mountain. Almost as soon as they had concealed themselves, the sharp sound of cannons suddenly sounded.
In the silent mountain forest, the sudden sound was extremely harsh. The two of them held their breaths and lay motionless on the boulder, watching the figures swaying in the distance as countless figures gathered towards the top of the mountain.
There were actually thirty enemies in number, and their cultivation levels were all in the late stages of physical strengthening and early muscle tempering. Since the two of them were relatively close, Zuo Feng could feel Zuo Hou's body trembling slightly.
He knew very well that if this group of people discovered where the two of them were hiding, it would be a joke to escape. He quickly thought over his plan in his mind.
'There should be no loopholes and no mistakes. This is the only hope for the two of us to escape.'
Until he saw the group of people leaving quickly in the direction from which the three came, Zuo Hou breathed a long sigh of relief. Just as he was about to sit up, Zuo Feng quickly held him down.
On the deserted mountain top, three figures suddenly appeared. They observed the surroundings for a while before quietly leaving.
Zuo Feng glanced at Zuo Hou beside him and said with a smile: "This time, I should really leave."
"Huh, these people are really careful. If you hadn't caught me in time, our hiding place would have been exposed."
"I just kept a cautious eye, but I didn't expect them to be so cautious."
Zuo Hou looked at Zuo Feng with admiration. He could no longer control the doubts in his heart and asked.
"How do you know which three directions they will go in?"
Zuo Feng had long known that he would ask, so he calmly said it.
"When they saw me sounding the signal cannon, they were sure that their group had been exposed. When they arrived at the top of the mountain and found no one there, they would first think that they were in a hurry when they went up the mountain and did not notice that we were hiding behind them.
on the road, so they will search carefully on the way there and back as soon as possible."
Zuo Hou was still a little puzzled after hearing this, and continued to ask: "Don't they think we are heading towards the canyon?"
Zuo Feng smiled slightly, and patiently explained to this good brother.
"Their arrangement is to let me enter the valley. Since they think I have seen through their plan, they will not be stupid enough to continue going to the valley. They will only think that we are hiding in the other three directions. They are eager to reach the top of the mountain.
We have forgotten our travel treasure, so of course we are eager to look back now.”
Zuo Hou nodded seriously, and when he looked at Zuo Feng again, he was already in admiration. The young man in front of him was not only a genius with amazing training speed, but also an extraordinary intellect and thoughtful mind.
"Then what should we do next."
Zuo Hou said without hesitation the question he wanted to ask most at the moment.
"Go to the canyon."
After Zuo Feng finished speaking, he ignored the shocked Zuo Hou and took the lead in turning back toward the east canyon.
