Chapter 182: Arrival in Hegu City!

Outside the quiet valley, the raging flames were finally completely extinguished at a certain moment, and along with the extinguishing of the flames, there were several charred corpses in front of everyone, burned beyond recognition, and the ancient tree in the center of the clearing still stood in the center of the clearing for some reason, as if a silent giant was mocking Lishi and the others. br />

"What is this? A group of ants actually carried this kind of thing, did they expect that someone would chase after them?, or so that we could chase them, so they specially let the silver rat keep tracking?" Li Shi looked at the several charred corpses lying on the ground expressionlessly, but the information about Xuantian Fire Flame suddenly flashed in his heart.

Xuantian Huoyan, the unique flame of the Shangyang City branch, or the most fundamental power of the fire refining lineage, once contaminated, it is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, unless the flame does not spread to the whole body, first cut off the part of the body that is contaminated with flames, otherwise even if the martial artist of the Lingyun Realm touches it, there will only be death.

Originally, it was impossible to recognize this thing with the cultivation of Lishi, but as a subordinate of the Hegu City Branch, it was not surprising to know this information, although this thing was the most fundamental power of the fire refining vein, but in fact, ordinary people could know the power of any of the eight veins of smelting as long as they put a little effort into it, because the smelting eight veins could stand for thousands of years without falling, relying not only on these so-called fundamental powers!

"Lishi-sama! New writing has appeared on that tree!"

When a warrior who was collecting the body of his companion was approaching the charred ancient tree in the center of the clearing, he suddenly saw that the words that had been engraved on the outer skin of the trunk had disappeared with the peeling off of the outer skin of the trunk, and on the trunk after falling off, there was a new text carved with a knife, and he couldn't help but exclaim at the moment.

"What?" was stunned for a moment, and then turned his gaze to the ancient tree that had been burned by the Xuantian Fire but had not fallen, and on the black trunk, there were clearly engraved words that were completely different from those originally seen.

"Actually, I think whether it's a pheasant, a mouse, or a rabbit, all in all, barbecue is the best, what do you think?"

This is a new text engraved on the trunk of the tree, with the lesson of the previous time, this time no one dares to touch the ancient tree at will, but the big question mark engraved at the bottom of the trunk instantly detonated the anger that Lishi had finally suppressed.

If the previous few sentences were intended to lead a trap, then the current few sentences are much more provocative than the previous one! However, although everyone felt the unusual atmosphere, no one dared to speak first, and they were all waiting for Lishi's reaction, because at this time they did not dare to take Lishi's anger.

Lishi slowly walked to the ancient tree's side, carefully observing the words engraved on the trunk, and after a while, Lishi gently patted the ancient tree.

"Lishi-sama!"

Everyone who saw Lishi slapping the ancient tree with his hand couldn't help but exclaim, and at the same time, a wave of qi was released from the ancient tree, and Lishi's figure was submerged in dust in an instant.

"What's the fuss!" Lishi's voice came from the dust in the sky, and everyone who heard this voice breathed a sigh of relief, after all, according to the regulations, if Lishi-sama died in battle, then there was absolutely no possibility for them to live.

The dust cleared, and I saw Lishi standing in the open space as if nothing had happened, and the ancient trees standing on the side had turned into a pile of dead branches and piled up on the ground. Feeling the residual breath among the dead branches, Lishi glanced thoughtfully in a certain direction, and then the corners of his mouth slightly hooked a trace of arc.

"It's still too tender!" Lishi whispered, and then waved his big hand: "Everyone listen to me, now your task is to dispose of the corpses here, and then bring the news from here back to the branch!"

"Yes!" everyone nodded in response, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, the secret way was fortunately just a non-dangerous task such as disposing of corpses and delivering news, but the slightly shorter lean man who had led the way suddenly felt a little wrong, and asked Lishi with trembling fists at the moment: "Dare to ask Lishi what Lord Lishi wants to do next!"

As soon as the words came out, all the people who were already dealing with the corpses of their companions stopped, staring blankly at the slightly shorter lean man who was holding his fist in front of the clearing, as if he was looking at a dead man, and Lishi, who had turned his back to everyone, seemed to be shocked by this question, and stood there without speaking.

The atmosphere in the field froze again, as if he didn't believe his ears, Lishi, who had been standing, finally turned around, looked at the slightly shorter lean man standing in front of him expressionlessly, and asked the slightly shorter lean man with some bland and somewhat cold words, "Were you talking to me just now?"

Lishi's words continued to echo in the ears of the slightly shorter lean man, and the terrifying gaze that stared at him was like a fierce tiger that could choose someone to devour at any time, but when he thought of the special task assigned to him by the above, the slightly shorter lean man swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and took out a token from his arms and drank: "Lishi-sama, please tell Zai Xia your next move!"

The style of the token is very simple, with a hollow pattern surrounding it, and a large water character is engraved in the center of the token.

Li Shi squinted at this token for a long time, and finally when the slightly shorter lean man was sweating, Li Shi withdrew his oppressive gaze, and then said casually: "It turns out that you are the person sent from above to check and balance me, it really surprised me!"

"Whew, whew!"

Without that oppressive gaze, the slightly shorter lean man breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead, and said a little flatly: "This is all a decision from above, and I only received this task not long ago, and I hope Lord Lishi is not strange!"

Hearing this, the surrounding people were in an uproar, and no one thought that the slightly shorter lean man actually had such an identity and task, but in the eyes of everyone, although the slightly shorter lean man represented the will above to some extent, but he was so different from the realm of Lord Lishi, would Lord Lishi really listen to him?

"Silver Rat ......" Li Shi did not directly answer the words of the slightly shorter lean man, but asked with interest: "In this case, your code name should also start with silver?"

"Yes, it's codenamed Silver Fox!"

The slightly shorter lean man replied bluntly, although he didn't know what Lishi wanted to say, but the slightly shorter lean man believed that with this token in his hand, even Lishi didn't dare to move himself in the slightest!

"I've caught the breath of those guys from the inscriptions left on the ancient tree, and when you're done with the mission, I'll go after you myself!" Lishi glanced at the slightly shorter lean man and said casually.

"No! I don't agree!" the silver fox blurted out without thinking.

"Huh?"

Lishi's soft snort shook the silver rat's heart like thunder, and the silver rat who reacted hurriedly changed his words and said: "Lord Lishi, the task assigned by the above is to trace the traces, and once there is a situation, report it immediately, and no one is allowed to act rashly until the consciousness above is settled!"

"Oh, is it?" Hearing this, Lishi's face showed a strange expression, and he immediately walked slowly to the side of the silver fox, stretched out his hand to hold the body of the silver fox that was trembling unconsciously because of fear, and said calmly: "It's true that the wolf will listen to the tiger, but do you think the wolf will listen to the tiger's words conveyed by a fox?"

Smack!

The silver fox's body fell to the ground weakly, his wide eyes were full of fear, and along with his body, there was also a token that was tightly held in the palm of his hand, and where it was pressed by the palm of Lishi's hand, there seemed to be a palm print.

"Everyone, listen to my orders, speed up your movements!" The roar came out of Lishi's mouth, and everyone who was standing there reacted one after another, and hurriedly accelerated their movements, for fear that they would be killed by Lishi if they were not careful, in their opinion, Lishi even dared to kill the people sent from above, and did they care about the lives of their own people?

"Boy, when I catch you, I'll let you know the price of provoking me!" Looking coldly at the silver fox who fell to the ground, Lishi showed a sneering expression on his face, and then got up and rushed away in the direction he had determined.

"Whew! Master Lishi is finally gone, so you don't have to worry about being killed, but let's hurry up and report what happened here to the top!"

Everyone who felt that Lishi was leaving breathed a sigh of relief, and then buried the body of his companion on the spot, of course, the body of the silver fox was left by everyone, ready to be brought back to the branch of Hegu City, after all, he was a person sent down from above, and Lishi dared to kill does not mean that they have the courage.

"So you specially set up multiple traps there and accidentally left a wisp of breath in order to attract the enemy in the wrong direction?" Yue Xian'er asked Lin Liang curiously, after more than a month of running around the mountains and forests, Yue Xian'er, who had never encountered an attack, finally chatted with Lin Liang about the arrangement outside the Tranquility Valley.

"Of course, I don't have that much effort to fight those guys, in order to make sure that the enemy is successful, I also specially found a wild boar, attached my own breath to its body, and then lured an extremely tiny wisp of Xuantian Fire Flame to its tail, so that it had to run in a direction other than the direction we were taking!" Lin Liang explained casually while urging Yan Yu and the four of them to keep up.

"Aren't you afraid that the wild boar will be burned to death soon with the Xuantian Fire Flame?" As she walked, Yue Xian'er suddenly asked curiously.

"That's why I said that it was an extremely tiny Xuantian flame! That level of burning is enough to burn for three days!" Lin Liang said with a smile, then suddenly stopped, pointed to the end of the woods and whispered:

"We're here, Hegu City!"
