When the three of them returned to the tunnel with a layer of doubt, they found an anomaly.

There is no one at the answering point!

There is not a single clansman!

"Something must have happened!"

The monk threw a punch at the wall, looking extremely frustrated, thinking of the safety of his family, he couldn't stand still and had to go to the ground to see the current situation in the clan.

Ye Ling said calmly: "Uncle Monk, don't worry, things may not be what you think!"

Ling Yun also nodded, and said with a grim face: "At present, it is just that the whereabouts of the clansmen are not clear, maybe they may see that the other party has withdrawn and think that it is safe, so they return to the ground, it is not necessarily the worst situation!"

"Hopefully!"

The monk calmed down.

The three of them searched the entire tunnel, and indeed did not see a single clansman, but at the same time, they did not see the corpse of a clansman lying on the ground, which also means that the clansman may not have appeared unusual.

Everything has to be returned to the ground to know the real situation.

......

At the same time, on the ground, there was indeed an accident in the clan!

A big surprise!

Last night, under the leadership of the old patriarch, the heroic clansmen resisted the surprise attack of the soldiers of the banner tribe, severely damaged the other party, and made the other party lose more than 80 people at once, which was a big victory, but the old patriarch explained that the clansmen, everyone did not relax their vigilance, and they were always on guard that the banner soldiers would launch a more courageous next round of attacks.

However, until it was almost dawn, they didn't notice any action in the camp of the banner soldiers over there, but what shocked the clansmen was that not long after, they saw that the other party's men and horses were evacuating!

Yes!

Those banner soldiers were evacuating, and they were retreating in a hurry, and the sparse group of soldiers hurriedly retreated, without the arrogant demeanor they had before.

Some clansmen guessed that it must be Ling Yun's night attack that had been effective, inflicting heavy losses on the other party and greatly hurting the other party's vitality, so they evacuated in such a mess.

Some people are afraid of what kind of conspiracy the other party will have!

However, after the old patriarch sent two daredevils to investigate the opponent's camp, in addition to seeing signs of fighting and the other party's commander's tent being burned, the corpses of some seriously injured soldiers were abandoned in the camp, and no ambush was found.

The two clansmen excitedly returned to the clan and reported the good news.

After everyone heard that the other party had really withdrawn, they finally put down a big stone in their hearts, and they were all excited, and everyone's face was filled with the joy of victory, and they felt that it was a miracle that they could resist the army of a large tribe with their own strength!

The old patriarch raised his hand to keep the masters calm and analyze the current situation for the clansmen.

Although the other party evacuated, it may only be a temporary return, and it may not give up and make a comeback.

In addition, regarding the banner soldiers who infiltrated the village last night, although three people were found, the old patriarch still had hidden worries, worried that the investigation was not thorough, and he was afraid that if there were a few people lurking in the shadows and doing some tricks, it would be impossible to guard against.

After hearing the words of the old patriarch, the clansmen also immediately calmed down, and at the same time, because the four of Lingyun did not return, everyone was also worried about the four of them.

Because the day came, it was more conducive to the inventory of the bannermen who had mixed into the group, and the old patriarch decided to gather the clansmen first, and then organize the clansmen to start searching house by house.

This can be said to be the biggest threat to the entire clan at present, if you don't find out the banner people who have mixed into the clan, even if the banner soldiers outside have withdrawn, the lives of the clansmen will still be threatened.

Therefore, under the instructions of the old patriarch, those women, children and children who were hidden in the tunnel in advance, such as Ye Dong's children who could fight, all walked out of the tunnel, except for the nine clansmen who died and the four Lingyun who went out to perform the task, when the clansmen counted the number of people, they did not find that there were more people, and the number of people was normal.

After all, they usually know the roots, and after everyone looks at each other, they can naturally see at a glance which family has fewer people and more people, and it is impossible to say that those banner soldiers want to blend in as clansmen.

After the old patriarch knew that the number of people in the clan was not too large, he also had a number in his heart, and together with several old clansmen, he guessed that there was only one possibility left, the other party was hiding in the shadows, and it was even possible that he was observing the clansmen's every move, which posed an eye-threatening threat to the safety of the clansmen, and it must be found out as soon as possible.

The old patriarch and several old clansmen only managed to kill three invaders last night, but he was not sure if there were any more invaders, just in case, he decisively arranged for the relatively high realm of the clan to form a clean-up team and began to search every corner of the clan.

The rest of the clansmen were temporarily concentrated in the clearing, protected by the old patriarch and several old clansmen, guarding against a sudden sneak attack.

Things are progressing, cleaning up the team, searching door to door, and no suspicious characters were found, until the last Ye Ling sibling's home was searched, and still found nothing.

"Patriarch, they have all been searched, but nothing has been found!"

The leader returned to the clearing and reported to the old patriarch.

The old patriarch frowned, with a hint of astonishment, and said, "Didn't you find it?

"Tell the patriarch, we have searched every house, and we have indeed found nothing, do you want to expand the search?"

The people continued to reply.

An old clansman took a step forward and said, "Patriarch, are you too worried?"

The old patriarch waved his hand, his face looked extremely solemn, and said: "If Ling Shaoxia is present, he will also approve of my approach, I would rather believe it than believe it, and I always have a bad premonition, there must be someone hiding in the shadows of our clan, waiting for the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, we must deal with it well, otherwise, we may be defeated, careless!" Second bolt, take a few of your brothers to look carefully, expand the scope, remember, you must be careful, if those people exist, they must be hidden very secretive, and there may be some secret method, this problem is not solved for a day, it is always like a sword hanging on everyone's neck, it is difficult to sleep!"

"Got it! Patriarch, let's search carefully!"

The clansman named Erzhuzi said, and led a few slightly stronger clansmen to leave again.

Seeing the nervous expressions of the old patriarch and several old clansmen, the women and children who were concentrated in the open space were also not relaxed, and their faces were full of death worries.

Ye Dong looked at the path outside the boundary monument that had become empty, those banner soldiers evacuated in a hurry at dawn, and he didn't know what happened to his sister, the more time passed, the more worried he was about the safety of his sister and teacher.

"Lao Meng, don't be careless with your brothers, you must protect the safety of these clansmen, I gathered everyone together, and I had no choice but to do it, if I didn't do this, those who were hiding in the shadows would never move, I was gambling with everyone's lives, so I couldn't miss a little!"

The old patriarch's expression was solemn, his fists were clenched all the time, and there was a hint of nervousness between his eyebrows, but his eyes were sharp, staring at the surroundings, as a realm that was already in the early stage of the fourth order of quenching, in this case, he instinctively exuded the power of the strong, giving the surrounding range a shock, hoping to frighten those who were in the dark.

With his understanding of those banner soldiers, among those soldiers, at most, they were only the peak strength of the third order of the quenching body, and his realm of the fourth order of the quenching body could still shock the field!

"Bang!"

But at this moment, a bang exploded in the middle of the clearing, and in an instant, a black smoke erupted, and the smoke was a kind of black dust, and soon, the dust fell down and was inhaled by the people gathered in the clearing.

"Ahem......"

After the tribesmen inhaled the dust, they immediately coughed.

"Ah, poisonous!"

"I'm so uncomfortable, I'm so dizzy!"

"Me ...... too"

The clansmen coughed wildly one by one, letting out painful screams, and even the female and old clansmen fainted on the spot.

"It's ......"

The old patriarch and several old clansmen were in their hearts. (To be continued.) )
