Chapter 77: A Powerful Enemy Hides in the Shadows

Bai Ye quietly walked over to Chu Jiangmian and quietly handed him something. When Chu Jiangmian took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, it was a few thin sheets, not gold or wood, very flexible and transparent, but he couldn't tell what material it was made of, let alone what it was for. As if he had known his doubts for a long time, Bai Ye whispered.

"This is what I just found in the ears of those beasts, and they are indeed commanded. Your Royal Highness, please look carefully, these flakes have holes in the middle, and when they are vibrated by some kind of signal, they will make a rhythmic sound. If my guess is correct, someone must have used this method to remotely direct them from a distance to launch an attack and injure people. ”

Chu Jiangmian nodded slightly. He couldn't agree more with Bai Ye's analysis. Although this kind of thing sounds very mysterious, there are many strange people in this world, and it is impossible in the eyes of ordinary people, but for them, it is as easy as a hand.

"I have this suspicion too. White Night, where do you think the person directing them will be? ”

"Your Royal Highness, although the hearing of birds and beasts is very sensitive, it can be controlled in this way. But the distance is certainly not too far, otherwise their owners will not be able to control it. I dare to conclude that the person who instructed the fierce beast to kill people must be in this Nine Elements Mountain! ”

Chu Jiangmian looked up at the reckless firmament around him, and couldn't help but sigh secretly. The scope of the Nine Elements Mountain is so vast that it is impossible to find the whereabouts of the hidden ones. It's not easy to find out who is making trouble.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry. The enemy hiding in the shadows will appear sooner or later! ”

"Oh...... Are you so sure? ”

"Prince, please think that those who can have the means to command fierce beasts must be very people. They were able to penetrate deep into the vicinity of Dragon City, and their target was of course the Great King. The whereabouts of the Great King finally appeared in the Nine Elements Mountain, and they would never give up easily until they achieved their goal. Although the beast is dead, there must be other means. So please be more careful, and never let your guard down! ”

Bai Ye whispered solemnly. He spent the first half of his life as a thief, traveled the world, experienced dangers for a long time, and had a lot of experience. The analysis is convincing.

"White Night, what should we do now?"

Chu Jiangmian looked at Bai Ye's eyes, his eyes full of trust. From the very beginning, he knew that Bai Ye and Murong Licheng were the two treasures he picked up during his trip to Zhongzhou. Sure enough, when the edge was revealed, they didn't let themselves look away.

"The prince doesn't have to say anything! Just be covertly prepared. I went around the mountains to see what I found. ”

"Then you must be careful! No matter what happens, remember to make your own safety your number one priority. ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured. If you want to fight hard with people, there are people in this world who are better than me. But when it comes to tiptoeing to visit the news, Bai Ye is confident that no one can match! ”

"That being said, the enemy is in the shadows. It's a dangerous affair...... White Night, you put on this half-length armor, just in case. ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness! I'll go now. ”

Bai Ye stretched out his hand and took a half-length armor handed over by Chu Jiangmian. Feeling the concern in his eyes, I couldn't help but feel grateful. After bowing his hand, he quietly disappeared into the long grass and bushes. There are some affections in this world, just keep them in your heart. This man never said those hypocritical words, he only expressed his loyalty with actions.

When the figure disappeared, Chu Jiangmian retracted his gaze, patted the shoulder of the young man beside him, and gave him a thumbs up.

"It's amazing! It's like the courage of an overlord! Just now, the king praised you very much. ”

Murong Licheng stuck the long lance on the ground beside him, with a shy expression on his face. He had already received the amazed gazes of countless people just now, but he didn't care about those. And when he heard Chu Jiangmian's personal praise, he was very embarrassed.

"Brother Mian, that's nothing. A few brutes...... By the way, who is the overlord? Isn't it amazing? ”

"You don't even know about the overlord? …… Oh, yes! You really don't know. That, the overlord is the overlord! It's pretty awesome anyway. The world is invincible, the army is invincible, and the head of the general in the millions of troops is like probing the bag! Got it? ”

"Oh...... Is there really such a character in the world? I'd love to meet him. ”

"Well, I'm afraid there's no chance."

"Why?"

"Because...... He's dead! ”

"But, I haven't heard of such a powerful character, and he's dead?"

Seeing the confusion in the eyes of this upright young man, Chu Jiangmian scratched his forehead vigorously, regretting that he had just missed his mouth with him. It seems that you should be careful when you speak in the future, and you can't always say something to him. Then he leaned into his ear and said in an unquestionable tone.

"I said yes, yes! Xiaoli, I hope you can surpass him in the future and become a more powerful character than the overlord! ”

The boy clenched his fists, and his whole body was full of strength. He nodded heavily: "Brother Mian, you can rest assured." I will be what you want me to be! And, it's bound to be far more than you could have hoped for. ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Chu Jiangmian's mouth. Of course he was relieved. With Xiaoli's means of slaughtering bears and fighting tigers, when he really sets foot on the battlefield one day, he will be roaring and the sky and the earth will change color!

"Xiaoli, you go over there...... Those Dragoon soldiers have been waiting for you for a long time. They probably want to get to know you. Hehe! ”

Chu Jiangmian pointed with his hand not far away. Leaving the city, of course, understood what he was talking about. A group of dragoon cavalry led by Captain Wu Sheng has long since surrendered to the ground with the five bodies he admires. They were looking over and over again, eager to pay their respects to the young man's face. And apologize to him for yesterday's attitude by the way.

Murong Licheng walked over with his tiger-headed divine lance and was warmly welcomed by the dragoon cavalry. They cheered and surrounded him, and marveled at the scene a few hours ago.

Before you know it, it's getting late. Minister Fei Yi passed on the order of King Zhao, the hunt came to an end for the time being, and the brigade set up camp and stationed in the Jiuxing Mountain tonight. And those people who came from Dragon City, naturally someone will arrange it, so there is no need to elaborate.

With more than 10,000 dragoon soldiers and a reserve battalion guarding it, safety is naturally not a problem. When twilight gradually falls, and the smoke rises everywhere. Lots of people are talking about what happened today.

"Those beasts are really terrible! Fortunately, it didn't cause much damage...... It's just a pity that the casualties of those dozen dragoon warriors. Alas! ”

"Yes! But I don't know when there was such a terrible guy in the Nine Elements Mountain. Be careful when you go back into the mountains in the future! ”

"Afraid of what? Even if these beasts are fierce, they have not all been killed! ”

"The fourth child of the Qiao family, what you said is light. Is that what you killed? I could see you shaking in your leg with a knife in your hand. If it weren't for the dragoon soldiers rushing over to stop them, I'm afraid you wouldn't have scared yourself without those two tigers pounceing and biting, right? ”

"Zhao San! Don't laugh at people. Where can you get better yourself? Didn't you be so frightened that you were shaking all over? Hey! ”

"Nonsense. Who isn't afraid? Those big guys are really evil, we have been hunting in the mountains for so many years, and we have never seen a beast that cannot be killed by arrows or cut by knives. ”

"Third Brother Zhao, it's wrong for you to say this again. Who said arrows can't die? Didn't the big black bear be shot with an arrow by the king himself? What you say yourself is a slap in the face, not a slap in the face! ”

"You ...... Didn't you deliberately raise the bar? Of course the king is amazing! The arrows he shoots, no matter how powerful the beast is, will die thoroughly, of course, no one doubts this! But except for his old man, no one else has such ability. ”

The person named Zhao San was originally a hunter, and he often went to the Jiuxing Mountain to hunt, so he could be described as an expert. Therefore, when talking about these things in front of everyone, there is obviously a sense of superiority. And because of this, it is easy to be besieged by other people's refutations. Beside the lit fire, someone immediately caught his words.

"Hey! I said Zhao San, are you really confused? Or are your eyes not good? What is it that other people don't have such skills. Didn't you see the scene of that brave boy slaughtering bears and tigers halfway up the hill? Three tigers and two black bears, but they all died at his hands! Such a character is rare in the world...... That's what tens of thousands of people have seen with their own eyes! ”

Zhao San was speechless for a while, of course he didn't mean that. The powerful methods of that godlike boy left him with the same shock as everyone else, and it hasn't disappeared yet. He hurriedly got up and admitted his mistake, admitting that he spoke without thinking. Everyone is a neighbor who knows each other every day, and of course they don't take it too seriously. It's all used to joking, and I laughed at the moment.

Such scenes happen in many places. The smell of food and the smell of roasting prey began to emanate from the campfires that were lit everywhere. Occasionally, the aroma of wine wafts through. People were talking loudly about the bravery of King Zhao and the young man, forgetting for a moment that the war crisis was coming.

However, some people certainly don't forget the true purpose of coming to the Marble Mountains.

In the boundless dark mountain forest, the night owl emitted a frightening chirp, and from time to time a dark shadow flashed. It seems that between the mountains and rivers and dense forests, there are many killing opportunities hidden. Perhaps, tonight, the life and death of many, many people will be decided.

"How's it going over there in Dragon City?"

"Don't worry! Absolutely. The master is out and kills with one hit! Jinxiang Palace will become a sea of fire tonight. ”

"Good! Very good...... King Zhao Chulie would never have imagined that when he died in Jiuxing Mountain, his lair would also be destroyed!? ”
