Chapter 166: Departure
From Ouyang Luoshui's narration, Zhang Xiao and Xu Lianxiao got most of the details of the attack on the siege demon beasts, and at the same time, they also had some battles in their hearts.
The only thing that made Zhang Xiao happy was that in Ouyang Luoshui's description, he didn't hear anything about the demon beast that could hide itself in the water, and this discovery also made the stone that had been piling up in the hearts of the two of them be removed.
"This time, let's choose to defend instead of attack, Blackwater City's current city protection array is almost ineffective, in case those demon beasts come to attack the city while we go out, we will lose more than we gain. After being silent for a long time, Zhang Xiao first spoke.
"But when the time comes, when those demon beasts gather together to attack the city, won't we have even more chance of winning!" Xu Lian Xiaoxiu frowned, and said in a somewhat worried tone.
Although passive defense is a good strategy, it is also time-sharing, and the two of them are not necessarily the opponents of those monsters when they fight alone, if they wait until these monsters gather together to attack the city, the consequences will be even more unimaginable.
"In that case, let's simply look around this Blackwater City first, and if we don't find anything in particular, it's not too late for us to discuss. ”
Zhang Xiao nodded when he heard this, he is not a stupid person, he naturally knows these truths, but at the moment, because of the lack of manpower and insufficient strength, no matter which of these two methods is used, there are advantages and disadvantages, and it is not necessary to complete the two in pairs, and it should be the safest way.
"It's okay, then we'll go out to look for observations now, this is an extraordinary time, we have to seize the opportunity, otherwise it will be too late for us to prepare when the incident happens suddenly. ”
Xu Lianxiao nodded in agreement, she has not experienced many things, although she can see the current situation, she can't think of a good way, she can only rely on Zhang Xiao.
"Let's go. ”
Zhang Xiao stood up directly from the chair and walked out of the door, while Xu Lianxiao answered softly and followed out.
After going out, Zhang Xiao and Xu Lianxiao went to Ouyang Luoshui first, and explained the situation in advance to make her ready.
"Lian Xiao, I go south, you go north, look for it in a radius of fifty miles, and when you encounter a situation, you will launch a signal flare and don't go alone, if you don't find any special circumstances, we will meet in this place. ”
After leaving the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhang Xiao paused and turned to Xu Lianxiao and told him repeatedly, and only after seeing Xu Lianxiao's solemn face and nodding again and again, he turned around with confidence.
As a disciple of the Yunliu Sect, the signal flare of the Yunliu Sect is a must-have item for everyone, so Zhang Xiao doesn't have to worry about it at all, and he won't ask Xu Lianxiao if he has a signal flare on his body.
After the admonition, Zhang Xiao took the lead in setting off and flew in the direction of the south of the city, Blackwater City is not big, but it is not small compared to those small border cities, among which the four city gates of east, west, north and south can already represent the strength of Blackwater City.
Zhang Xiao's speed was very fast, which could be compared with Xu Lianxiao, but after a while, he went straight through the entire Blackwater City and came to the south of the city.
Although Blackwater City has a precedent of demon beasts attacking and attacking the city, there are still pedestrians in the city, and when Zhang Xiao is flying through the city, from time to time there are many ordinary people who have not seen the world to stop and watch.
Zhang Xiao didn't pay attention to these, didn't care, didn't stop to say hello to these people, and also narrated why he was so chic.
After arriving in front of the south gate of Blackwater City, Zhang Xiao did not stop long, but flew forward directly again, because he wanted to find out if the demon beast existed and nearby, so his current speed was not very fast, and he was also a little cautious.
To the south of Blackwater City, there is a lush forest, the woods will block most of the sight, and with the wind and grass, it is difficult to hear the existence of demon beasts from the sound.
But the dense woods also have an advantage, that is, it is easy to see whether there are monsters or not from the traces, generally speaking, most of the monsters with cultivation are not small, because of the large size, the monsters can easily leave traces when they move.
Zhang Xiao searched very carefully, of course, his speed was not slow, and he quickly finished combing the forest in front of the city gate, and then slowly moved in another direction.
After touching for about an hour, Zhang Xiao had already searched all the way from the south of the city to the north of the city, and finally stopped when he saw the north city gate, during the search he did not encounter a trace of a demon beast, even a trace of a wild animal, he had not seen it, the reason was probably that they were hunted by the hunters in Blackwater City.
After stopping and continuing to move forward, Zhang Xiao looked up in the direction of the south, and finally reassured after making sure that there was no trace of the flare being fired, and then set off towards Blackwater City.
Just when Zhang Xiao really thought that there would be no more accidents, suddenly a loud and sharp sound came from the south, and then an extremely strange spiritual power fluctuation came from the south.
This extremely strange spiritual power fluctuation would definitely not be perceptible to other cultivators, because this strange spiritual power fluctuation could only be felt by cultivators who had practiced the Taishang Cloud Flow Feather Sutra, and this spiritual power fluctuation was emitted from the signal flare of the Cloud Flow Sect.
After perceiving this spiritual power fluctuation, Zhang Xiao did not hesitate to directly raise his qi and fly, rushing towards the south of the city, and he had even more doubts in his heart between running, obviously he had just looked for it from the south of the city, but he didn't expect that in just an hour, a demon beast would appear.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, Zhang Xiao was worried about Xu Lianxiao's current situation, so he traveled very fast, only giving the surrounding people a feeling of wind blowing.
Because the sound of the signal flare was very loud, although the people and cultivators in this city could not perceive the spiritual power fluctuations that belonged to the Taishang Cloud Flow Feather Sutra, but they were not deaf, and the sound of what it was called was always heard, and for a while, many brave people began to run towards the south city gate, which naturally included the current person in charge of Blackwater City, Ouyang Luoshui.
Since Ouyang Fengjin passed away, Ouyang Luoshui has never closed her eyes, and she will not relax herself for a moment when she has not killed all those demon beasts.
