……
After listening to An Haisheng's analysis, Chen Wei couldn't help but fall into silence.
She really hadn't seen Xu Hao defeat the Great Demon Stygian with her own eyes, so she couldn't be sure if Xu Hao really had a strength comparable to that of her father Chen Zetian.
However, what is certain is that even if Xu Hao is not as strong as his father, his strength is definitely not weak, at least twice as strong as her, a high-level martial artist.
You must know that in that dense forest, it was almost Xu Hao's strength alone to block the crazy pursuit of the hundreds of abyssal creatures behind.
Based on this alone, it is worth Chen Wei to pay attention to Xu Hao, an outsider.
"Uncle An, whether or not he has the strength to confront the Great Demon head-on, we can't neglect him. He's definitely not one of the ordinary archers you've seen in the past, and if I can, I'd like to try to invite him to join our town guard. Chen Wei said with a serious face.
"Nope." An Haisheng denied it without hesitation, and said with a whole expression: "Xiaowei, Uncle An knows that you value him very much, but you can't fully trust him until you figure out his details." ”
Chen Wei showed a helpless look, nodded and said, "Okay, listen to you." ”
The voices of the two of them are very small, which can be Xu Hao's current perception ability, but they are separated by a distance of more than ten meters, how can they not hear it. Without even looking back, he could feel that Chen Wei and An Haisheng were observing his every move.
No matter what the two of them said about themselves, Xu Hao still looked calm and indifferent, and thought silently in his heart: "The first step of the plan is completed, and the next step is to find a breakthrough in that innate powerhouse Chen Zetian..."
The group quickly marched forward, and on the way, they encountered two waves of abyssal creatures composed of more than a dozen little demons.
Without Xu Hao's move, a group of town guard members skillfully launched a battle formation and quickly wiped out the two little demon teams, and only two team members were slightly injured in the process.
An Haisheng originally wanted to see what was unique about Xu Hao's archery skills, but he didn't think that the other party wouldn't make a move at all, with a posture of "I am a guest, you have the obligation to protect me", and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
As twilight fell, the cold wind howled and made my cheeks ache, and the temperature dropped several degrees Celsius.
After walking for half an hour, the outline of the town finally appeared at the end of the road ahead, and the light gray cooking smoke rising up was dimly visible.
The first thing that caught Xu Hao's eyes was a dark gray city wall more than two zhang high, the wide city gate was closed, and dozens of figures with knives in hand could be faintly seen patrolling back and forth in the corridors of the city, and the defense was tight.
On both sides of the watchtower, there is a strange object hanging from the watchtower, which can shine a light blue crystal-like light.
They look like snails magnified several times over, hanging from the eaves of the wall, and the light is very soft, giving people a faint psychedelic feeling.
This thing that emits light is a creature called a blue worm.
They remain motionless during the day, as if they are asleep. However, after nightfall, they automatically emit this soft light, which is not harmful, so it is widely used by the inhabitants of the Blue Wave Star as a lighting tool.
Xu Hao, under the leadership of An Haisheng and Chen Wei, successfully entered Luolong Town.
The road in the center of the town is very wide, and there are low bluestone tiled buildings on both sides. At night, except for the town guards patrolling back and forth, there are hardly any townspeople walking out on the road, and the surrounding environment seems very quiet.
After entering the town, the fifty members of the town guard returned to their respective posts, and Chen Wei and An Haisheng took Xu Hao to the place where the mayor's mansion was located.
Along the way, An Haisheng took the initiative to tell Xu Hao a lot about the recent situation in Luolong Town, including some of the main active places of the abyssal creatures that came into contact near Luolong Town, as well as the major towns that were bloodily slaughtered and forcibly occupied by the abyssal creatures.
"Counting our Luolong Town, more than two-thirds of the eighteen large and small towns currently located in the Jinzhou region have been occupied by abyssal creatures. Abyssal creatures like to devour human flesh and blood, and now those towns are almost devoid of living people.
In addition, the number of high-level Shura who have appeared in the major regions of Jinzhou is currently nine, and from the outbreak of the war until now, there are only two high-level Shura killed by us, and they are also the two with the lowest strength. On the contrary, the branch of the Shengwu Pavilion where Jinzhou is located, after the start of the Great War, has already fallen four innate powerhouses.
Just the day before yesterday, our Luolong Town repelled a large-scale attack of abyss creatures, and the high-level Shura Edmond, who ruled the area, sent a great demon over, but unfortunately our mayor, Chen Zetian, the only innate realm martial artist here, finally failed to completely kill the big demon, but was seriously injured by the high-level Shura Edmund sneak attack the next day.
Things are going to be bad in the town, winter is approaching, and our food reserves are almost depleted. The mayor of the town has repeatedly asked the Jinzhou Shengwu Pavilion branch for support, but has not received a response. If this development continues, as long as the high-level Shura Edmund gathers troops to launch a general attack, it will be difficult for Luolong Town to resist. ”
Unlike Chen Wei, An Haisheng did not hide that Chen Zetian was seriously injured by Edmund's sneak attack, but generously expressed that he knew the current situation of Luo Long Town, as if he wanted to scare Xu Hao away.
It's just that from beginning to end, Xu Hao listened to his every word calmly, did not express his own opinions, and nodded slightly was the most action he did.
The three of them walked and talked, and before they knew it, they came to the door of the mayor's mansion, and there were already many servants and guards standing at the door to greet them.
Back at the door, Chen Wei was obviously much more relaxed, and walked up first with a smile on her face.
An Haisheng followed behind and said to Xu Hao: "Xu Shaoxia, please come in." ”
"Well, then bother." Xu Hao said.
The three of them entered the mansion together, and inside was an antique three-entry compound, with staggered corridors, pavilions and water pavilions, and red lanterns with built-in blue insects hanging everywhere, illuminating every corner.
After entering the inner courtyard, Xu Hao was arranged by Chen Wei in a quiet guest room in the southwest corner, and soon after, two pretty and lovely maids brought hot wine and food.
Soon after the meal, the waitress brought the news that the mayor of the town, Chen Zetian, was going to meet him.
Xu Hao had been prepared for this, and as soon as he agreed, he followed the waitress to the direction of the lobby of the main hall where Chen Zetian was.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened, the sky was pitch black, there was no starlight, and the courtyards of the huge mansion seemed quiet and deep, and occasionally a figure walked by, and the footsteps became clear and audible.
Xu Hao followed behind the pretty maid, walked along the softly lit quiet corridor for less than five minutes, and successfully came to the outside of the main hall of the mansion.
Two gray-clad guards with knives with solemn expressions stood by the door, one on the left and one on the right, without squinting.
The waitress entered the inner report, and after getting permission, Xu Hao crossed the threshold with a calm face and walked into the main hall, only to see that the interior was brightly lit, the decoration was simple and atmospheric, and a faint sandalwood fragrance could be smelled in the air.
There were already people sitting on the seats on both sides, namely An Haisheng, the chief of the town guard, and a man with long hair and an elegant face in white, who looked to be about thirty years old, and his eyes gave a sense of wisdom.
On the only animal skin bench in the center of the front desk of the hall, a middle-aged man wearing a gray robe with a cold face sat upright, with a scar on the knife-like left cheek, his eyes were sharp and focused, and the aura of the superior was very strong, which could give people a sense of oppression at a glance.
This person is naturally the mayor of Luolong Town, and he is also an innate realm powerhouse from the Holy Martial Pavilion: Chen Zetian.
It is worth noting that although this person is trying his best to maintain a strong posture on the surface, his face is as pale as paper, and his breath is disordered, and anyone with a little vision can see that his state is not right.
Xu Hao could see at a glance that Chen Zetian was extremely seriously injured, and from a distance of seven or eight meters, he could sense a bone-chilling, extremely evil aura from the other party's body, although it was forcibly suppressed. But it can erupt at any time. (To be continued.) )
