Chen Xi hid behind a big tree, and the breath of the sacred tree emanated to perfectly cover Chen Xi's breath, he quietly poked his head out and looked at the thatched house, and found that there seemed to be a figure in the house. The windows of the hut were open, and the figures inside seemed to be a little rickety.

"Old man?"

Chen Xi was slightly stunned for a moment, and then leaned towards the tree closest to the thatched hut under the cover of the sacred tree. It was already very close to the thatched hut, and Chen Xi clearly saw the old man through the window. He looks to be at least seventy or eighty years old, and of course the appearance of a cultivator cannot correctly judge age. The man walked alone in the room for a while, then sat down by the window, took a flask from the table, and poured it into a glass, but only half a glass of wine was left.

The old man seemed to be a little stunned, looked at the half glass of wine and was silent for a while, and then raised it up and took a small sip. Chen Xi saw a lot of wine jugs outside the window, the number was enough to shock, how long this old man lived here alone, I was afraid that even he couldn't remember clearly. The old man took a sip of wine, then glanced out the window. Chen Xi quickly retreated back, but the old man did not notice him.

Then Chen Xi heard himself talking.

"It's getting dark, the ninth day of the ninth month of the ninth month of the 3,626th year of Jianing, and it is safe and sound. ”

Chen Xi poked his head out again and found that the old man should have written these words in a thick booklet. Chen Xi reacted instantly, this was an old lonely sentinel. The years have carved too deep marks on his face, and there is only one emotion in these traces, and that is loneliness. Perhaps for countless years, the only thing that accompanied this old man was wine.

"Kill him and keep exploring. ”

Xu Ji's words appeared in Chen Xi's mind, and Chen Xi replied with one word in his mind.

No.

Chen Xi said, I can bypass him and continue to explore, this person is not a threat, if there are still defenders inside, this old man exists, but it will make the people inside not vigilant.

Xu Ji's voice was extremely cold: "I don't have time to think about whether the existence of this old man is meaningful, I just need to know if there are hidden dangers before the army is launched, and if there is, then it should be eradicated." It's not deep enough, you have to walk through the jungle, and as long as he lives you have the possibility of being discovered. Kill him, and move on, there is no need to bargain. Chen Xi, I know that you didn't kill him because he didn't threaten, but because you couldn't bear it. ”

Chen Xi was silent, and finally did not act. At this time, two scouts suddenly rushed past Chen Xi, and the speed made Chen Xi take aback. These two people are Chen Xi's subordinates, and they can be regarded as relatively effective assistants. The two of them were supposed to be waiting for Chen Xi's news in the back team, but now they suddenly rushed directly over, and they didn't even look at Chen Xi when they passed by Chen Xi's side.

The two scouts threw something out of their hands and flew straight into the hut, followed by a cloud of smoke that exploded in the hut, and the old man fell limp down. Chen Xi saw a scout climb in through the window, and then pulled out a short knife and stabbed the old man in the heart. After that, the scout made a gesture to Chen Xi to continue forward, and without waiting for Chen Xi to respond, the two of them went out from the other side of the hut and continued to investigate.

At this moment, Chen Xi felt like he was being tricked like a monkey.

It should have been thought of a long time ago, how could Xu Ji not install his people in his own team. When the two scouts passed past Chen Xi, Chen Xi didn't even notice the slightest danger. Then Chen Xi thought of the fact that on Seventh Street, Xu Ji took Chen Xi to kill people while walking. Those who look like shadows are so blatant to kill people on Seventh Street, but their existence is ignored by everyone.

They seem to be transparent, and even if they are standing in front of you, you will not notice them.

These two scouts are such people.

"Chen Xi, you should know that this is a war, and your woman's kindness will not only harm you, but also your team. It is the enemy who dies, and this is the best outcome. Do you want to see that it's your people or yourself who die?"

Chen Xi replied coldly in his mind: "The identity of the enemy was given to him by you, and he himself didn't know that he had become your enemy." ”

"Whoever gives it, the enemy is the enemy. ”

Xu Ji's voice became more and more cold: "Don't let me down the first time, since you are already in this game, no one can get out." The removal of the enemy's outposts will be written in your merit book, and Fei Qing will reward you on behalf of the Divine Domain army. But I hope that the next shot will be yours and not mine. ”

Xu Ji's voice disappeared, leaving a cold feeling in Chen Xi's heart.

Chen Xi stood at the big tree and was silent for a while, and then there were other scouts who looked behind him and were still waiting for news, he took a deep breath and told himself that he still had something to do now, at least go back alive with those scouts

The two scouts who crossed Chen Xi and killed the old man were the two that Chen Xi trusted more in the scout team. One is called Zheng Ken and the other is Su Xu. When Chen Xi led the team to raid the Yizi camp for the first time, these two people were among the hundred demigods selected by Chen Xi, and they were appointed by Chen Xi as captains. Later, Chen Xi formed a scout team, and the quality of these two people was extremely high, so Chen Xi attached great importance to them, and among the scouts, they were Chen Xi's right-hand man.

Chen Xi was not angry with them because they were just acting on orders. Chen Xi was just a little annoyed, how could his right-hand man be so clean, it must be someone arranged by Xu Ji. You just need to think a little more to be able to guess.

Zheng Ken looked at Chen Xi with a look of apology in his eyes, and lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency's subordinates are also thinking about all the brothers. ”

Su Xu also lowered his head, and it could be seen that the respect that the two of them had for Chen Xi was not pretended.

Chen Xi waved his hand, then lifted the vines in front of him and looked forward. The woods were about to pass, and the plains were just plain. Faintly, you can see a gray-black shadow in the distance, like a castle, but the scale should not be very large. Chen Xi calculated, from leaving the canyon to crossing the jungle, it was at least seventy or eighty miles deep into this side, and the depth of exploration was almost enough.

He turned around and explained: "Zheng Ken, you take the two people back the same way and report what you have seen and heard truthfully." The rest of us stayed here with me, trying to find a way to keep pressing forward. ”

Zheng Ken hurriedly clenched his fists, and then turned around and went back with the two of them. Chen Xi's eyesight is excellent, even he thinks that the castle-like building is far away, but he is afraid that the real distance is amazing enough. Chen Xi divided the remaining people into three groups, he and Su Xu stayed at the edge of the woods, and the remaining two groups of people, one group returned to the vicinity of the thatched hut where the old man was stationed, and the other group returned to the place before entering the jungle. The army of the Divine Domain will soon be in, and someone must be left behind to warn the followers to beware of those terrible bugs.

By now, Chen Xi didn't have time to think too much about whether the old man should die or not, what he needed to consider was how many people in the later Divine Domain army didn't have to die.

Su Xu looked into the distance, lay down with his back against the high slope and said in a low voice: "My lord, it seems that the enemy's first castle is at least a hundred miles away, should we continue to go deeper and have a look." It seems that the enemy has no special defenses, and that the outpost is just a fixed thing, and if you continue to move forward, you may be able to detect some enemy troops. ”

Chen Xi shook his head: "One horse Pingchuan, as long as you go out, you may be discovered, and wait for the scout support team to arrive." ”

Su Xu didn't say anything, leaned there and rested for a while, and finally couldn't help but say, "My lord, when I killed that person just now"

Chen Xi shook his head: "Needless to say, this matter is over." ”

Su Xu opened his mouth, but stopped talking. He was silent for a while and then said, "Actually, Lord Xu really values you, although the first batch of people who come in will inevitably encounter all kinds of dangers, as long as they go back alive, it will be a great merit that no one can take away." Lord Xu arranged for you to come in, just to pave the way for you in the future. Maybe you think that Lord Xu is a little ruthless, but you must know that he is thinking about tens of millions or even more of the Divine Domain army. ”

Chen Xi nodded, and was about to speak, when suddenly his eyes lit up, and then he made a gesture. Su Xu immediately held his breath and followed Chen Xi's instructions to look outside the woods.

A group of cavalry approached the jungle from the plain in the dust, and there were about a dozen of them, probably the cavalry on the march. These people are supposed to be regular patrols, and if nothing else, they will definitely go into the jungle to meet the old man. Now that the old man is dead, if discovered, God's Domain's plans will be exposed. Chen Xi hadn't thought it through yet, and the other party was almost at the edge of the jungle.

"So fast!"

Su Xu exclaimed in a low voice, his eyes were shocked.

When I saw those cavalry, they were at least dozens of miles away, and at worst they were more than a dozen miles away, but by the time they said a few words, those cavalrymen were already approaching. Chen Xi pointed upward, Su Xu nodded immediately, and the two of them climbed up the trunk of the tree like a tanuki, not daring to use divine power, relying on their own agility and muscle strength.

The two of them hid in the canopy, and the cavalry arrived.

It was a bunch of monster-like cavalry. They were not riding war horses, but huge flying leopards. When the flying leopard raised its head, it was definitely more than two meters, and the long fangs in its mouth were at least a foot long. The cavalry were not wearing armor, but dark gray cloth armor. This is to increase speed, and scouts and light cavalry will basically abandon heavy armor.

These cavalrymen looked indistinguishable from people, except that they all had a hideous ghost on their faces. It was a cast iron mask, painted black, with holes in the nostrils and eyes, but not the mouth. It seems that each of these cavalrymen is tall and has a fierce aura that does not fit people. One of the cavalrymen at the head stopped outside the woods, as if he was a little puzzled, he urged the flying leopard to circle around, and after finding nothing, he pointed forward, and a dozen horsemen rushed into the jungle like a wind.

"Kill them all. ”

When Su Xu heard Chen Xi's words, he was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't believe that this was said by Chen Xi.

"If they don't die, those of us who stay in the hut will die. If they warn, our army that enters this side will suffer heavy losses. ”

Chen Xi knew what kind of decision he had made, but he would not regret it. He looked at Su Xu, who nodded heavily at him.

It's just that no one knows who is being hunted in this hunt. The ferocity of those cavalry was clear enough at first sight.
