Chapter 464: Nameless Calamity: Part I
The woman's name is Yuzhaoyan, and she was originally just an ordinary resident of Manyo Camp, but one day she heard that there was a large forest behind the cave and decided to set out to experience nature.
Then she arrived at the command post of the Manyo Country Revitalization Project, and also saw Noelle, and saw the builders who were working on this grand project.
However, just as she was proud of her country, someone noticed that smoke began to billowing from one part of the forest.
No one knew where or where the fire came from, but they knew they had to stop it.
So almost half of the people in the command post were dispatched, and Xi Zhaoyan also decided to use his own meager strength to assist them.
Surprisingly, when everyone rushed to the scene of the fire, they found that the smoke was only caused by a pile of smoked hay and dead branches.
There were no forest fires at all.
Just as the people were wondering about what they saw, suddenly a roar sounded above their heads.
Countless torches were thrown from the treetops, and the entire forest they were in instantly began to burn violently.
Under such a ferocious fire, the first thought that popped into Xi Zhaoyan's mind was to escape.
She had to hurry back to the command post and tell the people at the command post what was going on.
So she shuttled through the burning forest, dragging the encirclement behind her and starting to run wildly for life.
Xi Zhaoyan's physical fitness is very strong, and in just half a minute, she got rid of those evil arsonists.
However, just as she was about to stop and rest for a moment, a steel knife slashed at her left hind leg.
In order to prevent Yuzhaoyan from escaping, the gangster slashed her in the right hind leg.
And then, there was the scene I just saw.
After talking about these things, Yuzhao Yan also told me that after her current speculation, maybe the gangsters had sprinkled the area with oil and other combustibles beforehand, and then lured them into the trap with smoke, thus trying to kill two birds with one stone.
"So, do you have any clue about these gangsters?" I asked her.
"No, not at all." Xi Zhaoyan shook his head.
At this moment, looking into her eyes, I suddenly seemed to think of something.
"Wait, if that's what you just said, aren't those gangsters right behind us right now?" I asked, pointing to the forest that was still burning.
"If they're still trying to catch up, that's right." Xi Zhaoyan nodded, "But if they were rerouted on the way, then they should be on their way to the command post right now." β
Command post......
On the eve of that, Zhaoyan seemed to have said that the command post sent half of the people out in order to extinguish the fire, which means that the command post is now in a very dangerous situation.
"Take me to the command post!" I said to her anxiously.
"How can I take you like this?" Xi Zhaoyan smiled bitterly, "You better ...... first Ahh
Before Xi Zhaoyan could finish speaking, I flapped the illusory wings behind me, wrapped my arms around her waist, and lifted her whole body up.
"You don't need to walk." I said slowly, "You just need to show me the way." β
"Wow-" Sunset made a pleasant sound in the air.
Looks like this should be her first flight.
In fact, I don't really need her to show me the way, and in this regard, Xie Yan can do better.
But I had to save her, I had to get her out of that place.
While saving her, I was worried about whether she would feel damaged in her self-esteem because she was unilaterally rescued, after all, after her struggle against the enemy just now, she had the impression in my mind that she was completely a strong woman.
That's why I chose such a way to save her.
Not only for her good, but also for myself.
"In that location." Xi Zhaoyan stretched out his finger and pointed.
"Although I was very excited to go to heaven for the first time, and I couldn't find the way out, I still understood the specific direction." Xizhao said with a smile.
"It's such a joy to fly." Xizhaoyan said happily, "Descend down, you are flying too fast, we are coming." β
I nodded, looking around.
Strange to say, after the pile of flames just now was extinguished by me, the gangsters in Xizhaoyan's mouth never seemed to appear again.
And there was no other place to ignite.
It's like the group of people have lost their voices.
However, there is one thing that I have always been concerned about this sudden incident.
The man I saw before who intended to be violent to Xi Zhaoyan was indeed a human being, and according to the results sent back by Xie Yan's previous detection, the group of people who were fighting with the elves must also be human.
And the perpetrator was one of the arsonists.
He doesn't look like a native of Manyo Country, and his outfit is definitely not the outfit of Manyo Country.
In other words, we have reason to believe that this group of gangsters who came out of nowhere may be from some other civilization.
Maybe they are indigenous to this forest?
No, it doesn't make sense.
If this is their territory, then why would they burn down their own home?
Better die standing than live kneeling?
No, this logic is obviously not right.
In contemplation, I slowly made my way through the dense canopy of trees, and then descended to the place where Sunset had pointed out to me.
"Whew-" When my feet touched the ground, I also changed the action of holding Xizhao Yan in my arms to a princess hug, which made me feel a lot easier.
"Hmph." However, Elise seems to have a big opinion on this action.
I didn't bother to explain to her during this extraordinary time, so I continued to follow the guide of the sunset, shuttling through the dense jungle.
"Okay, there's the command post ahead, ifβthat's bad." Sunset helped me point the way, but she stopped before she could say anything.
I know why she paused.
Because I noticed it too.
Not far ahead, there was a pool of red blood on the ground, and on the trunk of the tree next to the bloodstain, there were many traces of slashing and axes and the remains of broken arrows.
"It seems that the command post is not very peaceful." I looked at the mess in front of me, and my spirit tensed.
At this moment, I feel that this place in front of me is a living minefield.
"Don't act rashly." "The more urgent the situation, the more careful you must move forward, remember, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it." β
I nodded, agreeing with Yuzhaoyan's sanity. [.]
