Chapter 21: The Pursuit of the Thieves
Liu Feng listened to Zhao Yang's words, couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said, "What's the matter?"
"After a while, each class will have to compete, so I want to improve my skills quickly. Zhao Yang said.
Liu Feng said suspiciously: "The competition between our class and the other three classes?"
Zhao Yang said: "Yes, the class that wins in the end will have a relatively generous reward." ”
"What does that have to do with this mission?" asked Liu Feng.
"If you want to improve your strength quickly, you can go outside for training, or you can practice in the academy's cultivation tower.
It is more dangerous to practice outside, and there is no instructor to follow, and few students go outside to practice.
The cultivation tower is relatively safe, there is no danger, the cultivation speed there is several times that of the outside, but it consumes a lot of contribution points, so we took the task of the academy. Zhao Yang said.
Liu Feng nodded slightly and said, "So that's the case." ”
Zhao Yang said again: "Because this mission looks very simple, we have slackened, resulting in many injuries this time." ”
Liu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you this time." ”
Zhao Yang said: "In addition to you, I also invited a few other people, all of whom are relatively strong in our class, so we will wait for them here." ”
Liu Feng and Zhao Yang were in front of the academy, waiting for a few people to arrive.
There is not much time, and there are four people in the academy, all of whom are full of energy and calm, and they have extraordinary strength when they look at it.
"These are all my good friends, Zhao Yu, Zhang Bing, Wang Yang, Wang Yue" Zhao Yang pointed to a few people and introduced Liu Feng one by one.
"This is Liu Feng!" Zhao Yang said as he pointed at Liu Feng and said to the other four.
Several people nodded at Liu Feng, they had seen it.
Zhao Yu came to Zhao Yang and said, "Zhao Yang, when are we leaving." ”
"Go now, but be careful, that thief is very powerful, and you must not take it lightly. Zhao Yang said with a serious expression.
Several people looked at Zhao Yang's expression, exchanged a look, and nodded solemnly.
Liu Feng, Zhao Yang, and Liu Yu walked towards the east of the academy together.
Liu Feng asked, "Zhao Yang, where is that thief?"
Zhao Yang said: "The thief is near Chiyang City, which is a small remote village, and we fought him there. ”
Zhang Bing said, "Will that thief run away?"
Zhao Yang said: "Probably not, that thief seems to be looking for something there, and if he can't find it, he won't run away." ”
Everyone didn't say anything more, and quickly walked towards the place where Zhao Yang said.
Out of the very lively Chiyang City, the population gradually became sparse, a few people were on the road, occasionally passing by a small village, but there were not many people.
Liu Feng and the others walked for about an hour and came to an unknown small village, which seemed to cover a large area, but there were not many houses.
They didn't see a few people, probably all of them went to work in the fields.
Zhao Yang said: "This is it, everyone should be careful. ”
Liu Feng and the others began to become cautious, and everyone cautiously moved forward and began to search from the east side of the village.
But after an hour, everyone didn't notice anything unusual.
At this moment, two people came across from Liu Feng and the others, talking something while walking, and when everyone passed by, they heard what the two people said.
One person said: "Liu San, I saw a strange person last night, who came here and said that he was looking for something. I followed him curiously, and found that he stopped by the big river not far from our village, and then he jumped into the river. ”
Another asked, "What was he doing jumping into the river?"
"Who knows? I waited for a long time, and before the man came out of the river, I left. ”
When Liu Feng and the others heard this, the two of them walked away.
Liu Feng said: "It seems that the thief is likely to be near the big river that the two of them said just now, let's go over and have a look." ”
Zhao Yang nodded, and Liu Yu and the four of them also agreed.
They inquired of the people of the village, asked where the river was, and walked in the direction of the river.
Liu Feng and the others walked out of the village and walked about two miles to the east, when they saw a magnificent river.
The river roared and was about a few hundred meters wide. As for the length of the river, several people simply do not see the end.
Liu Feng said: "This big river is turbulent, how did the thief go down, isn't he afraid that the river will sweep him away?"
Zhao Yang said: "He probably has some treasures that can protect against the impact of the river." ”
Wang Yue said, "We're waiting for him here?"
Zhao Yang said: "Don't worry, I think he should come out soon." ”
Several people were talking, and suddenly Liu Feng found that from his left front, a person came from far and near, only to see that person looking at the river, slightly distracted, but he didn't find Liu Feng and a few people.
Zhao Yang and the others also stopped talking, apparently they also found that person.
Liu Feng gestured, and several people quickly hid behind the big tree.
The man got closer and closer, stopped not far from Liu Feng and the others, and then jumped into the river without hesitation.
Liu Feng and the others did not come out from behind the tree, but watched the changes in the river surface, and a quarter of an hour later, the man came out of the river.
"Haha, the soul refining flower will ripen tonight, after picking, I will enter the Yin and Yang realm, and it will be much easier to condense the soul, and at that time my strength will be able to increase rapidly. The man said excitedly as he stood on the shore.
Liu Feng and the others could hear it clearly.
Liu Feng said: "Soul Refining Flower, there really is such a thing, it seems that our luck is very good." ”
Zhang Bing said: "Do we want to go out now and catch him." ”
Zhao Yang said calmly: "Don't worry, when he picks the soul refining flower, wouldn't it be better for us to take him down." ”
Liu Feng said: "Yes, we will wait until the evening to catch him." ”
The man stood by the river for a few more moments, and then walked into the distance.
Liu Feng and the others took out food, rested while eating, and waited for the arrival of night.
Time passed little by little, and slowly the sun began to set in the west, and the night was about to begin to fall.
As twilight fell, the land fell into darkness, and the lights began to brighten up in the small village two miles away.
Liu Feng and the others waited for a long time, and just when everyone began to lose patience, a black shadow appeared by the river.
He looked around, and after a few moments, when he was sure that no one was coming, he jumped into the river.
As soon as the river turned over the flowers, the black shadow disappeared in the river.
Zhao Yang saw the black shadow disappear and walked out from behind the big tree. Liu Feng and the others also came to the bank of the river.
Liu Feng said: "Do we wait for him to come out and do it, or wait for him to leave here before we do it?"
Zhao Yang pondered for a moment and said, "It's better to wait until he leaves here." See where he's hiding, and then we'll strategize. ”
Zhao Yu said: "Zhao Yang said yes, let's follow him and see what secrets he has." ”
Liu Feng and the others returned to the back of the big tree again, waiting for the black shadow to come up.
After about an hour, only the sound of the river was heard, and everyone was immediately refreshed.
By the moonlight, Liu Feng saw that a black shadow came out of the river, holding a cyan plant in his hand, and then he quickly put away the plant and hid it.
"Looks like it's the Soul Refining Flower. Wang Yue said.
Zhao Yang said, "Be quiet, let's follow him and see where he goes." ”
At this time, it was a dark shadow that had already moved, and he walked towards the distance, and Liu Feng and the others cautiously followed behind him.
The shadow followed the river, about a mile away, and when it turned to the side, the shadow burrowed into a forest.
Then he turned left and right, came to a hill, and disappeared from everyone's eyes.
"Looks like there's a hiding place on this hill, so let's look closely. Liu Feng said.
The group nodded, and began to carefully search the area around the hill.
"If you dare to follow me, it's like looking for death. The crowd was looking around, and suddenly a voice rang out.
