Chapter 1008: The Difference
The night breeze blows through with a slightly humid air, and the weeds rub against each other to make a "rustling" sound.
Zuo Feng looked at the sky, and at some point the bright moon had quietly disappeared into the sky, making the surrounding environment much darker.
"It's almost time, and it's less than an hour before dawn, and it's the darkest time of the night, and our last chance to escape. ”
After finishing speaking, Zuo Feng turned his head to look at Yao Qiu'er not far away, and said in a flat voice, "Are you ready?" ”
Yao Qiu'er, who had taken medicine and food, was obviously more energetic than before at this time, opened her big watery eyes, smiled and nodded at Zuo Feng.
"Do I still need to call you against the wind?"
The sudden question made Zuo Feng slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "I, my name is Shen Feng." Before coming out of the Elixir Mountain Range, the destination was the same as yours, it was to go to the imperial capital. I'm going to ......."
"Participating in the contest of selecting medicines, you are the one who has qualified for the selection of medicines in Linshan County. ”
Without waiting for Zuo Feng to finish speaking, Yao Qiu'er had already spoken, it seemed that she had already had some guesses about Zuo Feng's identity, but she was not sure all along.
Slightly stunned, Zuo Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly and nodded, now it seems that he has been underestimating the sources of these super families, and he has also underestimated his current name.
Maybe when he first came to this Xuanwu Empire, he was just a little-known person, but as he participated in the selection of medicines, he finally began to gradually emerge in the Xuanwu Empire.
From this point of view, the original proposal of no makeup was very correct, although it caused a lot of trouble and enemies because of the selection of medicines, but he finally typed the name "Shen Feng" in the Xuanwu Empire.
Although there is no eyebrow to get the medicine camel antidote now, at least there is a channel to get closer to that goal that was originally out of reach.
"I'm ready, let's go. ”
Although Zuo Feng's name had been guessed for a long time, when Zuo Feng personally admitted his identity, Yao Qiu'er's whole person seemed to relax a lot.
After briefly dealing with the surroundings and feeling that there were no traces left, the two quietly went on the road.
Their location was not close to the location where the Thousand Illusions Sect had set up a blockade, but the two of them had to be more careful because they had been subjected to various calculations and targets along the way. After all, Zuo Feng was recovering, and it was impossible to use the prison lock to probe all the time, so the two of them walked for more than a mile before gradually slowing down.
In front of them was a series of hills, and for some reason the trees on both sides of this hill were extremely scarce, but instead became open land.
Only the location of the mountains is tall, and it is easier to hide, and those warriors of the Thousand Illusions Sect are in this mountain forest.
The other two sparsely wooded locations are the routes to Wacheng and Kakuseong. Therefore, if you want to detour from both sides, there is also a lot of risk, and walking in the wilderness without shelter is equivalent to completely exposing yourself to the enemy's field of vision.
After taking a closer look, Zuo Feng once again used the prison lock to probe the situation in the mountains from a distance. However, Zuo Feng was reluctant to move at this time, so he didn't dare to make too much movement, and if someone saw the halo of the prison lock, he would come over as soon as possible.
After simply determining the enemy's position, Zuo Feng immediately stopped releasing the spatial energy in the lock.
As the information provided by Wang Quan is similar, this location is indeed where the Thousand Illusion Sect is stationed, and the main purpose is to set up obstacles here. Not only for the preparation of Yao Qiu'er, but also not to allow any news to leak on the side of Jiabao City, what they are doing now must be kept extremely secret.
Everything they did to the Yao family in Jiabao City was actually equivalent to taking the lead in launching a challenge, and as long as they didn't get the Black Phantom Stone for a day, they had to be careful not to divulge any news.
Zuo Feng had clearly known the three hills approaching in the distance, the location of the enemy, and through their location, he could also know the area covered by these people's line of sight, so he also planned a forward route according to the other party's arrangement.
It's just that in the previous exploration of using the prison lock, Zuo Feng found a problem, that is, the space power in his prison lock is not inexhaustible.
Although there was no abnormality in the prison lock when it was used before, after the long-distance exploration just now, the group Buddha still found that the spatial power in the prison lock seemed to have decreased a little.
Zuo Feng is also unclear, whether this is because of the normal consumption of the power of the internal space during the use of the prison lock, or because the space power in the prison lock will continue to dissipate over time, in short, the space power in it is decreasing.
With this discovery, he naturally became nervous in his heart, and having a prison lock was equivalent to having a pair of eyes for him, which was his biggest advantage in facing the enemy now, and it was also the only advantage.
If he loses the prison lock, he will become no different from ordinary warriors, and it will become difficult to navigate through the blockade of a large number of warriors, and it can even be said that he is looking for death.
However, these Zuo Feng did not say anything to Yao Qiu'er, because he did not reveal much about the ability of the prison lock itself. Now all the changes are known only to him, and there is no need to add unnecessary burdens to Haruka'er.
Especially Yao Qiu'er's psychological quality is not as good as her own, and under the huge pressure, Yao Qiu'er is more likely to make mistakes and omissions, which will only make things worse.
With his back to Yao Qiu'er, Zuo Feng secretly observed the prison lock on his wrist, without the urging of mental power and spiritual power, this prison lock was like a pair of ordinary bracers, and he couldn't see any change at all.
And without a connection with the prison lock, even if there is a space power flowing in the prison lock, he himself will not be aware of it at all, which is also the most helpless place for him.
Sighing secretly in his heart, Zuo Feng also sped up a little bit. Yao Qiu'er, who was following behind, found that Zuo Feng was constantly increasing her speed, and she was a little puzzled in her heart, she already knew that the front was the location of the enemy's blockade, and being more cautious was probably the best choice.
However, she also quickly remembered that Zuo Feng had said before that the two of them had to pass through here before dawn, so she didn't hesitate to follow quickly.
The closest enemy posts to the periphery have been identified under the previous reconnaissance of the left wind. The sentry posts are not located in a concentrated manner, and it seems that they are also intended to allow the line of sight to be extended further.
Naturally, this also includes the sparsely wooded open land on the other side, which makes it easier for the left wind to sneak in.
In the face of this kind of sentry, Zuo Feng understands a truth, that is, it is called black under the lamp. Because when the enemy arranges the sentry posts, they will preconceived that their people are in the most dense position, even if someone approaches, they will not be able to pass through, let alone break into their hinterland, it is like looking for death, and there is no need to worry too much.
Because of this, the two of them came to the foot of the first hill very smoothly, and Zuo Feng deliberately chose a gentle slope between the two hills.
The trees here are dense and the two of them are not easy to detect when they sneak in, and the enemy sentry posts are high, which is equivalent to slipping under the noses of the enemy.
This time, Haruka Qiu'er was not as nervous as before, she followed closely behind Zuo Feng, and sneaked between the trees like this, barely making any sound during the whole process.
Soon the two of them passed through the first line of defense, and Zuo Feng had to activate the spatial power in the lock again, because he didn't know the deeper layout in the back, and now he could only peek at the enemy's position as he walked forward.
Following the gentle slope where the two of them were, after passing between two hills, the left wind again headed towards a relatively low hill. The mountains he chose were all densely wooded, so that even if he was close to the enemy, he could use the environment to hide.
However, as the two of them got closer and closer to the hill in front of them, Zuo Feng's brows were furrowed more and more tightly. If these enemies didn't know in advance that the two were coming, they were all so cautious and cautious.
At this time when it is almost dawn, it is usually the time when people are most sleepy, but whether it is those warriors on duty at night or those in charge of guards, they are still mentally observing the movements around them.
After entering this mountainous area, Zuo Feng found that the enemy had almost occupied this small mountain group. Almost every hill has tents in hidden places.
It looks like the enemy should be here for a while, and there doesn't seem to be any intention of leaving for some time to come. Moreover, the more Zuo Feng entered the inner area, the higher he found that the cultivation of the martial artist was higher.
There are still a lot of martial artists in the late stage of bone refining, but after crossing the first level of vigilance, the martial artists in the early and middle stages of the tempering period are almost everywhere, and they can't even see the existence of martial artists in the bone refining period.
After Zuo Yao and the others silently climbed over the second low mountain, they found that there was a small basin in front of them. The surrounding mountains are a little lower here.
Zuo Feng could clearly feel that this should already be the enemy's hinterland, and as long as he passed through here, he would cross the defense line and go to Xia Chi City.
But just as the two of them detoured forward along the edge of the small basin, Zuo Feng suddenly felt that the connection with the prison became vague, and the connection with the space was intermittent.
'Suffered, there is no space power at this time, now is the critical time, and if there is a distance, you can pass through the enemy's blockade, why is there a problem at this time. ’
He cursed in a low voice in his heart, if he could, he even wanted to beat the prison chain, seeing that the two of them were so close to escaping, but it was the problem he was most worried about at this time.
