Chapter 163: Six-Winged Sabertooth

In the eastern city, there were many people at this moment, and many soldiers lined up, patrolling the city over and over again. The so-called fortress www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Pavilion is actually transformed from the original town here, and a wall of more than 10 meters high has been built outside, bordering the canyon. Not only that, but a layer of steel was even paved at some important passes, which increased the thickness of the city wall and made the fortress even more impregnable.

On one side of the west side of the city, several sentinels observed the surrounding wind and grass with sharp eyes as usual. A few days ago, an order came from above, saying that a great war was approaching, and that they must be vigilant, and not even a single mouse should be released into the city.

"I'm so tired, I haven't slept well in a few days. If you want me to say, they don't dare to fight with a few guts from the Yan Army. A sentry stretched and grumbled.

"But it's not, besides, what if they do hit the door? When the gate is closed, as soon as the big guy is released, won't he just scratch it and die? Another short soldier snorted and muttered there. Through the light of the torches, you can see a dark circle around his eyes, and it is estimated that he has not closed his eyes for a long time.

At this time, there was a sudden noise not far away, as if something had touched a stone on the ground. The two sentries suddenly became alert, raised their torches, and walked slowly towards the shadowy place ahead. As they approached, a cat came out of the shadows, rubbed its cheeks with its paws, and let out a lazy meow.

"It turned out to be a cat, and it scared me to death. The short man in front of him breathed a sigh of relief and crouched down to tease the cat. But as soon as he stretched out a hand, the cat leaped over his shoulder. The other sentry tried to catch it, but the cat was quite athletic, and managed to get out several times, and from time to time it barked, as if to mock the two sentinels.

"Damn fellow. The two sentinels were already out of breath at this moment, and they were annoyed at the thought that they were being played by a cat, and they rolled up their sleeves and just wanted to continue to deal with it, but the cat suddenly turned around and ran into the distance, and soon disappeared from the sentry's field of vision.

"Forget it, let's continue to stand guard, don't come up and check it when the time comes, and think we left without permission. The short sentry waved his hand and returned to his post with some frustration. However, after such an accident, the two of them were in a much better state, and their original sleepiness was also pushed aside. But they didn't notice that while they were circling with the cat, four figures quietly crossed the city wall and entered inside.

"Qiushui, I said can you be careful, if it wasn't for the help of Yan Boshu just now, we would have been discovered a long time ago!" Cao Ming lowered his voice and said in a dissatisfied tone.

"Okay, okay, I got it. But you are really impressive, and you have tamed that cat in such a short time. Qiushui waved his hand and said with a smile.

"You know what, I just made friends with it. Yan Boshu pouted.

"Anyway, what are you going to do next, you can't just kill it, right?" At this moment, everyone was hiding behind a large tree near the city wall, and the lights were bright in front of them, and there were patrolling soldiers everywhere. Because the main gate was too heavily guarded, they chose to enter through this relatively remote corner, and this also brought a problem, that is, how to get to the city gate without being discovered by the soldiers? You know, after all, there were only four of them, and although all of them were not weak, they did not reach the point of being one against one hundred. When the time comes, there will be a burst of knives, guns and sticks, and maybe it will be directly stabbed into a hornet's nest.

"Don't worry about this, put your hand on Brother Cao Ming's body. Qiushui chuckled, and although Zhu Jue didn't know why, he still did as he said.

At this moment, a patrol is passing by. Suddenly, the leader who took the lead stopped, turned his head, and looked at the location of Qiushui and the others suspiciously. He seemed to hear a slight conversation coming from there.

"You guys, go there and take a look. The leader said to the soldiers in front. The soldiers immediately left the group, drew their broadswords, and walked slowly towards the shade of the tree. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the target, several people glanced at each other, and then scolded at the same time, raised their big knives and came to the back of the big tree. In the light of the torches, there was nothing but a few yellow leaves swept away by the air flow from the blade.

"Report sir, there's no situation!"

The leader frowned, thought for a moment, and then waved his hand to signal the soldiers to return. Naturally, they don't notice that in the soft soil beneath the trees, there are a few fresh footprints in Pingbai.

Under the cover of Cao Ming, several people successfully evaded the patrols of many officers and soldiers, bypassed a few alleys, turned a few streets, and saw that they were getting closer and closer to the city gate. But they are not complacent, on the contrary, the real test has only just begun.

"It's close, everyone slow down, and remember not to startle the snake. Cao Ming said to the person beside him. Although the number of sentinels on the city walls is gradually increasing, in stark contrast, the number of patrols appearing in the public eye is becoming fewer and fewer, which is obviously a bit unreasonable. The only possible explanation is that everyone agrees that the gates are fairly safe and do not require much effort.

"Look there!" After passing a dirt path, a wide square suddenly appeared in front of everyone. In the center of the square, there was a cyan beast with a wolf-like head and a lion-like body, with sharp fangs in its mouth and two pairs of golden wings on its back, which was obviously the six-winged saber-toothed beast that the war dragon said. In front of it, everyone is like hamsters, looking very small. At the moment it was lying on the ground, its eyelids drooping, as if it was sleeping, and it made a dull thunderous sound. Behind it was the seven or eight meters high, steel-forged gate.

"Listen, we need to get the key to the gate first, and then while the beast is still sleeping, we can secretly open the gate and slip away. Do you understand?" Cao Ming said in a low voice.

"Where's the key?" asked Zhu Jue. Yan Boshu on the side thought for a while, and then said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be in the hands of the commander." However, this place is not big or small, and there are nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers, who is the person we are looking for?"

While everyone was deliberating, the saber-toothed beast suddenly opened its eyes. It rose from the ground and let out a loud roar. Its eyes glowed with a ghostly glow, staring straight at where Qiushui and the others were.

"It's over, it's been discovered!"
