Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Unknown Strongman

Feng Lei slowly walked towards the tree and bent down slightly. On the trunk of the tree as far as his eye could see, there was an arrow tail that sank into the tree.

He stretched out his right hand, checked the tail of the arrow, and then turned to Ding Qin, "This arrow should have been shot recently." Judging by the freshness around the bark, it should not take more than three days. ”

He turned his attention back to the tail of the arrow. Fingers stroked from the arrow feather, and Feng Lei exhaled slowly. "There was blood on the feathers, and they were relatively fresh, not even much ash had fallen. Someone has been here before us. ”

Ding Qin leaned over and also observed the arrow.

Although most of the arrow body has been submerged into the trunk, from the overall design, especially the angular grooves on the arrow shaft, this is a short arrow like a sleeve arrow, which should be used as a hidden weapon.

The tail of the arrow was stained with blood, and it is very likely that the arrow had penetrated the human body and then nailed to the tree.

"As the only oasis in the vicinity, it's no surprise that people are here. However, there were no traces of a fight around, indicating that someone had sneaked up on it. Feng Lei looked around vigilantly, but didn't find anything unusual.

Ding Qin could understand what Feng Lei meant, "Are you worried that someone is ambushing here, specifically attacking people who come to the oasis to get property?"

Feng Lei nodded. Immediately after that, he gave the order. "Tonight, four sets of fixed posts will be set up around the perimeter to guard the four directions, and a group of mobile posts will be set up next to the campsite. Guards change every two hours, arranged by each team. There shall be no vacancy at any sentry post. ”

After saying that, he walked to the front himself, and inspected the area where he was going to camp with great care, and then gave the order to set up camp.

Fearing an enemy attack, they did not set fire. Although the campsite is in an oasis, it is no different from being in other places. Drink cold water and eat dry food.

After dark, Ding Qin went to his tent to cultivate his spirits. Feng Lei stayed outside until midnight, making sure there were no signs of danger, and then returned to the tent to rest.

Due to the water and vegetation in the oasis, the temperature at night is much better than in the desert. In addition, Ding Qin did feel extremely tired recently, and in the second half of the night, he fell asleep involuntarily.

I don't know how long he slept, but he heard the bone soul shouting in the sea of knowledge.

Instinctively opened his eyes, and it was pitch black all around, nothing unusual. The bone soul said again, "Wake up." Someone seems to be coming. ”

Ding Qin slowly exuded his spiritual power, but except for the soldiers patrolling outside, he still didn't feel anyone approaching.

"Are you sure?" he slowly stood up and quietly approached the door of the tent.

"Sure. Bone Soul said, "My feeling for people coming from a distance is still relatively accurate. To the northeast, it may now be about a mile away from us. ”

Ding Qin didn't dare to slack off, and immediately got out of the tent. Feng Lei's tent was next door to him, and there was a sentry between the two of them.

There was a crescent moon hanging in the sky, and under the faint moonlight, you could barely see people's faces.

Seeing Ding Qin come out, the sentry wanted to come up and ask. Ding Qin stretched out his hand and made a silent appearance, and pointed to Feng Lei's tent, indicating whether Feng Lei was inside.

The sentry nodded. Ding Qin walked over and opened the tent door. After only taking three steps, he heard Feng Lei drink softly, "Who?"

Ding Qin stopped and said softly, "It's me, Ding Qin." To the northeast, it looks like someone is approaching. ”

There were many doubts in Feng Lei's tone, "Northeast, are you sure? Why didn't I feel it?"

Ding Qin said, "Sure." However, the exact number is unknown. In case of accidents, we should prepare first. ”

After listening to this, Feng Lei thought for a while, put his hands to his mouth, and made a cooing sound.

This sound sounds like a bird's call, but it has its own unique rhythm, and it is one of the secret codes in the march of this squad, which means to be ready for battle.

As his voice sounded, Ding Qin could faintly hear a slight sound coming from the other tents. But in the process, no one said a word.

This is called the discipline of the elite squad.

It didn't take long for Feng Lei to say, "You're right, it's really here." In the northeast direction. We're getting close to our sentry post. Well, it seems that there are quite a few people, probably no less than ten people. After a while you stay in the tent, and you don't leave without my notice. ”

Although Ding Qin knew that this was Feng Lei's own good, he was not prepared to do so. Ever since he left Tongbao City, he had considered himself a member of this squad.

No matter what time it is, I don't want to be a flower in a greenhouse.

Because only through experience can we grow!

Feng Lei didn't finish his words for long before he spoke again, "Oh no, guard!"

With that, he jumped straight up and broke through the tent. Behind him, the light of the seven stars stood out in the night.

"Meet the enemy!"

With his command, the entire camp boiled. More than 100 soldiers rushed out of the tent and quickly formed a defensive formation.

Ding Qin jumped out of the gap just now from Feng Lei, and also jumped directly out of the tent.

The camp, which was originally extremely poorly sighted, was actually illuminated by the light bands and stars behind it after the people released all their spiritual power.

It was only at this time that Ding Qin knew the true strength of this team.

Among the team, Feng Lei is the seventh layer of the first order of spiritual power. Below him, there is also one person in the fifth layer of the first order of spiritual power, and two people in the third layer. The rest of the spiritual power broke through the first order, and there were about ten people. It is an ordinary soldier, and his cultivation level can reach a minimum of six levels of agility.

In other words, this is the absolute elite power in Tongbao City.

Feng Lei had quickly arrived in the direction of the person who came, and said sharply, "Who is coming?"

However, the person on the other side did not respond.

There were four soldiers, who quickly lit torches and ran to Feng Lei's side. In the firelight, twenty or thirty meters away from them, there were a dozen or so people standing.

Everyone is dressed in black and pants, wearing black hats, typical nocturnal attire.

Feng Lei said again, "Who the hell are you? Here in the middle of the night, sneaky, what kind of idea do you have?"

His voice was deep and powerful, and coupled with the spiritual power level of the seven stars behind him, it naturally formed a coercive momentum.

After a moment's wait, the man in black answered.

It's just that the leader's opening was a big surprise.

Woman! The leader is a woman!

The woman said, "Who are you?"

Feng Lei did not avoid his identity, and said, "Feng Lei, the deputy general of Tongbao City, will lead the soldiers of Tongbao City. ”

Many times, in the face of bandits, the official identity can also play a certain deterrent role.

Unexpectedly, the woman didn't respond directly, but turned to a person behind her, "You said it, but they?"

It was a man who was questioned. His voice was a little high-pitched, "I'm not sure." It was dark, and I knew I wasn't strong, so I fled immediately, not being able to see the true colors of those people. But, but I think that the figure of the murderer is a bit similar to the person behind the person who spoke. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed. And the direction of the finger is Ding Qin.

Ding Qin was stunned. The murderer? The suspect who was actually identified as the murderer? Is this another joke?

The leading woman said, "Really?" With that, she turned to Ding Qin and pointed with her hand, "You, yes, you, come here, I have something to ask you." ”

Ding Qin didn't feel any hostility towards this woman, and he was not afraid of the shadow, so he was about to take a few steps forward, but Feng Lei blocked in front of him, "You can't go." I don't distinguish between friend and foe, leave the team, and if something happens, I have no way to protect you. ”

After talking to Ding Qin, Feng Lei raised his voice again, "You don't have the right to ask the people in our team to do anything. ”

The woman was obviously very dissatisfied with Feng Lei's attitude, "Yes, I just wanted to check some information with him, and I didn't mean anything else." If it has nothing to do with you, I will not embarrass you. If you did it, then you must give me an account of one, two, three. ”

Feng Lei said, "What is the specific matter, it doesn't hurt to say it like this, why do you have to call him out?"

The woman seemed to agree, but the man behind her said, "Well, the more I look at it, the more I look like it, it must be his hand! But don't let him run away, or I'll catch him first and ask him more?"

As he spoke, the man seemed to have jumped outward.

Hearing his words and seeing his movements, Feng Lei also stretched out his arms and made preparations for the battle.

The woman blocked the man with one hand, looked at Feng Lei and Ding Qindao, "Don't you believe me? Actually, I'll tell you something." I'm talking to you about the questioning right now. Originally, I could have avoided consulting you. It's like what he said just now, and he directly caught someone and asked again. Now give you one more chance, let that kid come over. ”

Feng Lei said again, "He can't go over." He's being hunted down now, and who knows if you want to kill him? ”

The woman snorted, "Really not coming?"

After saying that, there was a glimmer of light behind her.

Two bands of light, one star.

The second level of spiritual power!

Under her leadership, those people also released their spiritual powers.

The lowest, the fourth level of spiritual power! Those who cultivated above Feng Lei, or were equal to Feng Lei, there were three people.

As soon as this image came out, even Ding Qin's heart couldn't help but get nervous.

This is a team of masters! If you clash with them, although the soldiers on your side have a numerical advantage, they are definitely not their opponents.

"To come or not to come?" the woman asked, her tone noticeably colder than before.

Feng Lei hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't think that if you cultivate high, you can make us humiliate and ......."

Before he finished speaking, Ding Qin had already stepped out from the side, walked to the front of the line, and faced those people, "I'm out." If there is any situation, just ask. ”

"Hmph, even if you still know each other. The woman took the lead in putting away her spiritual power, and then motioned to her subordinates, and quickly set up a small fire between her and Ding Qin.

She looked Ding Qin up and down, and said, "To be honest, did you kill the person?"

There was a chill in her gaze, not at all like a woman's eyes.
