It didn't take much time to return to Ningcheng from Shaoxing City, and along the way, Mu Zhuoyi always stood one step behind Hu Gao's left. That's where the personal guards are usually located, one step away, not only so that the person being protected will not feel uncomfortable, but also can step forward to protect at the first time if any situation arises.
Of course, Mu Jin showed the mystery of his sister's location, and his expression became a little complicated. He never thought that after his sister recovered, he would directly become Hu Gao's personal guard, and this change caught him a little off guard.
"Forget it...... My sister's life was originally saved by Brother Hu Gao, and since it was my sister's choice, I can only respect her as an elder brother. And...... Even if I persuade her, she won't listen to me......" Mu Jin sighed secretly in his heart.
There was no difference between Ningcheng and Hu Gao when they left, due to the chaos and Lang Zheng's bloody rule, the inhabitants of Ningcheng had already fled from the homeland where they had lived for generations, even if Lang Zheng was dead, the Lang family had left, and these overly frightened residents had no intention of returning.
Today's Ningcheng is a dead city.
Standing in the ruins of the war courtyard, Du Kang couldn't believe the qiē in front of him.
"This ...... This...... This is Ningcheng? This is Ningcheng War Academy? How did it become like this?"
Du Kang has been to Ningcheng several times, and he has also been a guest here in Yang Dingtian twice. Ningcheng's prosperity yesterday seemed to be still in front of him, but in front of him was a dead and silent ruin.
He couldn't help but be surprised by this strong contrast.
"Some time ago, there should have been a large wave of refugees from Ningcheng pouring into Shaoxing City, right?
"I've heard some people in Shaoxing City talk about Ningcheng having suffered a great change and being ruled by outsiders. But I didn't expect it to become like this, and even the war courtyard no longer exists. That...... Where is my old friend now?"
Hu Gao didn't answer, but took Du Kang in the direction of Shimen, and without taking two steps, Hu Gao suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise: "There are actually people......?
Scavengers, which is a singular population that survives zài throughout the totem of the Great 6. Most of these people are lazy and tired of hard work, and yearn for a life that is not earned for nothing. Therefore, they often appear in the ruins of some family sites or cities that have been born by natural disasters**, looking for the wealth that may be left behind by those who died in the disaster.
This kind of behavior is no different from those scavengers in the animal kingdom that live on the carrion of animal carcasses, so they are called scavengers.
Of course, they themselves would never admit it, preferring to call themselves "seekers".
Sure enough, when Hu Gao and his party walked to the location of the stone gate, there were more than a dozen people studying around the black stone gate. Apparently, they had used the black stone door as a gateway to the treasury, and were trying to open it.
I don't know why, Yang Dingtian and Yang Le behind the stone gate did not come out to expel this group of people, but remained silent behind the door.
This group of scavengers soon appeared with Hu Gao and others, and their eyes became vigilant.
"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" said the scavengers, looking at Hu and others warily.
"Strange, aren't these questions always asked by others 'scavengers'? Why did the wind change today, and you scavengers came to ask?" Hu Gao couldn't help but laugh.
No scavenger wants to hear someone call them scavengers, and this group is certainly no exception. Hearing that Hu Gao actually used the discriminatory title of scavenger, the expressions of the scavengers suddenly became angry.
"This is already ours, please leave!" the leader of the group of scavengers continued.
"That's not going to work. Hu Gao waved his hand in embarrassment, "I have traveled thousands of miles from Shaoxing City to invite this Master Du Kang back, how can you be driven away so easily?"
"Then you're toasting and not eating and drinking?" the scavenger leader's gaze became hideous.
"Yo, this kind of fierce personality is not what a 'scavenger' should have. Hu Gao smiled strangely, "And your strength as a seventh-order of the General Body Realm, you can obviously get a good identity and status in any small city, but you are a scavenger, I really don't understand how you came up with it, are you willing to solve my doubts?"
Hearing that Hu Gao could actually see his strength at a glance, the leader of the scavengers couldn't help but be shocked. Could it be that this kid who can't see the depth is stronger than him? No, this can't be, how old is this guy, and it is impossible for him to be stronger than himself!
The scavenger leader's gaze scanned Hu Gao and the others again. In his opinion, among the group of people in front of him, only the woman in red armor was the strongest, and she was at the level of the seventh order of the general body realm like him, and the three men such as Hu Gao could not see the depth of strength, but from their age, even if they were stronger than him, they were not much stronger, at most they were only at the level of about the eighth order of the general body realm.
As for the last one...... Without any target of Yuan Force, the leader of the scavengers directly and selectively ignored the ......
The scavenger didn't have the slightest worry in his heart, even if he couldn't see the strength of Hu Gao and the three of them, even if Hu Gao and the three of them were really all at the level of the eighth order of the general body realm, he would not have a trace of fear!
"Hmph! It's my choice, you don't have to worry about it! Ask again, do you go or don't go?"
"Is the answer to this question hard to guess? Why do you have to ask again and again? Walk? Of course it's impossible!"
"That's your own death!"
As soon as the words fell, the leader of the scavengers suddenly burst out, holding two daggers in his hands, and light wings on his back!
Capture the thief and capture the king first!
With the blessing of the Ground-level Mid-Grade Yuan Jue, the degree of the Scavenger Leader was already comparable to that of the Mid-level Explosion Yuan Realm! Although this kind of Ground-level Mid-grade Yuan Jue that exploded to the extreme would weaken the power of his attack, he believed that with the strength of these kids, he would definitely not be able to react to such a swift attack, even if the power of the attack was all reduced, it would be enough to kill him with one hit!
Seeing the leader of the scavengers rushing towards him, Hua Rong and Mu Jin took their bows at the same time, but it was too late to open the strings and strike an arrow! The two could only watch as the leader of the scavengers rushed in front of Hu Gao!
At the moment of the moment, a crimson figure suddenly flashed, and the flame-like long sword was protecting Hu Gao's body, blocking the double dagger in the hand of the leader of the scavengers!
The leader of the scavengers had lost some strength due to the use of the "Wings of Light" of the prefecture-level mid-grade Yuan Jue, and he actually suffered a loss under this hard-hitting contact, and he took more than ten steps back, and his arms were numb!
And Mu Zhuoyi, who was holding a red long sword, would not let go of such an opportunity, and with all his strength, he chased after him with his sword!
Before the leader of the scavengers could recover from the numbness of his arm, he was hit by Mu Zhuoyi's fast sword, and the two daggers hurriedly responded to the battle, and they all fell into the wind!
The two fought for more than ten rounds, Mu Zhuoyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and the right hand holding the hilt of the sword opened and threw it up a foot high, turning to hold the sword with his backhand, and at the same time, he stepped forward with his own human-level best armor and a dagger of scavengers, and the sword light rotated!
In the blink of an eye, the sharp edge of the long sword was already on the neck of the leader of the scavengers!
Feeling the chill on his neck, the scavenger leader's eyes glazed over. He didn't know what had just been born, and he didn't know how the woman's long sword in front of him was on his neck.
What was stunned was the leader of the scavengers, and even Hu Gao, who was watching the battle, was also stunned.
This is the first time Hu Gao has seen Mu Zhuoyi make a move, and it is also the strength of the seventh order of the General Body Realm, and the difference in strength between the two is inevitably too big.
"I ...... I...... I ......"
"What are you?" Hu Gao rolled his eyes at the leader of the scavengers, "Were you quite imposing a moment ago? ”
"I ...... I...... I ......"
"Don't you, you, me, me, I don't have a grudge, although your killing intent just now gives me enough reason to kill you, but I have no interest in killing people recently. So, you better take your people with you!"
Hearing that Hu Gao was willing to let him go, the leader of the scavengers immediately bowed to the ground and kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for not killing!
"What's that...... Before you go, hand over the kind of recipe you just used......"
The leader of the scavengers opened his mouth wide, looked up at Hu Gao, was stunned for a while, changed to the expression of a dead father, and handed over the "Wings of Light" to Hu Gao, a prefecture-level mid-grade yuan recipe that he had only been in possession for less than a year and had not yet fully mastered.
After the scavengers fled in disgrace, Hu Gao simply looked at the newly acquired recipe and put it away with satisfaction. With Hu Gao's current eyesight, he could naturally see that the leader of the scavengers could swing such a terrifying degree, and he was blessed by some kind of Yuan Jue that had reached at least the prefecture level, how could Hu Gao, who was already good at winning with degrees, let go of such a good thing!
Originally, Hu Gao was about to slap that guy to the ground, but he didn't expect to be robbed of the limelight by Mu Zhuoyi.
Thinking of this, Hu Gao turned his head, looked at Mu Zhuoyi, who had regained standing one step behind him, and said softly: "I know your strength, but ...... The way of fighting with injuries for lives just now should not be used again in the future. You should understand that you mean more to me than just a guard. ”
"Yes. Mu Zhuoyi's heart was sweet and nodded.
Suddenly, a hearty burst of laughter ruined the atmosphere that Hu Gao had managed to create.
"Hahahaha! Brother Hu Gao, you're finally back. ”
"Enough of watching the show?" Hu Gao couldn't help but roll his eyes.
