Hearing this shout, Zhao Ya reacted almost instantly.

"Zui'er, you take the things you prepared before, and immediately go to the martial arts hall to find the master."

While speaking, Zhao Ya had already returned to the house and took out all the things that could be used, such as the poison hand crossbow.

"Brother Xiaoya, where are you going?" Drunken said eagerly.

"Go to the edge of the city and see what's going on!" Zhao Ya said calmly.

"That'...... Be careful! The drunken man's face was full of melancholy.

Zhao Ya smiled when he saw this, "Don't worry, if I want to run, no one in the county can keep me!" ”

After the words fell, Zhao Ya jumped on the roof, and then disappeared in a few flashes.

Zui'er followed Zhao Ya's instructions and picked up the baggage that had been prepared in advance and went to the Dingtai Martial Arts Hall.

Although the place where they lived was only a stone's throw away from the Dingtai Martial Arts Pavilion, for the sake of insurance, Zhao Ya still let Zui'er go to the Martial Arts Pavilion.

There is Lu Dingtai's town, and it is the safest place in the entire county.

At the same time, Zhao Ya had already rushed to the side of the city wall, and flew to the top of the city tower in one body.

When I entered the tower, it was empty.

The dozen or so soldiers in charge of defending the city were hiding in the corner at this time, shivering.

In fact, it's no wonder that they are not to blame, you must know that among the dozen or so soldiers, the youngest must be more than fifty.

On weekdays, it is okay to open and close the city gate and maintain order, but it is naturally impossible to count on this kind of emergency.

Zhao Ya ignored them, walked straight to the lookout and looked out, and saw that the black shadows were shaking in the darkness, and the mountains and forests in the distance were shaking.

At the same time, many strange beasts had gathered under the city walls, and they were cruising back and forth at this time, as if they were waiting for something.

"Who first found out?" Zhao Ya asked in a deep voice without replying.

At this time, there were a few people at the lookout, all of them were young warriors, and Zhao Ya asked them.

"Back to Zhao Ye, I was the first to find out." One of the men spoke very respectfully.

"Oh?" Zhao Ya glanced back at the man, always feeling a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"Do you recognize me?" Zhao Ya asked.

"Zhao Ye is really a noble person, didn't you save me and Senior Brother Pan in the mountains and forests before?"

Zhao Ya suddenly said, "You are the ...... of the Hundred Steps Martial Arts Hall." ”

"Yang Ping, this is my junior brother Jiang Zhong!" The man pulled the person next to him, and the two of them clasped their fists at Zhao Ya and saluted.

Zhao Ya waved his hand, "No need to be polite, how did you come to the top of the city tower and find traces of strange beasts?" ”

"Back to Zhao Ye, our Baibu Martial Arts Pavilion is the closest to the city gate, and since the last incident in the mountains and forests, Senior Brother Pan has always been relieved, so he will send people to the city tower every night to keep an eye, and tonight it is my turn to be with Jiang Zhong." Yang Ping said.

Hearing this, Zhao Ya couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Unexpectedly, a person who was saved at that time played a big role at this time.

At the same time, some martial arts halls that were relatively close to the city wall also rushed to hear the sound.

The Hundred Steps Martial Arts Hall is naturally among them.

Pan Xuexian carried a longbow on his back and climbed the city tower, and when he saw that Zhao Ya was also there, he couldn't help but be happy.

However, this was not the time to greet and catch up, so he just nodded at Zhao Ya, and then came to the lookout to observe carefully.

After looking at it for a moment, he frowned slightly.

"See what?" Zhao Ya asked.

He knew that archery masters like Pan Xuexian generally had extremely keen eyesight and could see details that ordinary people couldn't see.

"These strange beasts under the city wall have been just roaming, and although the mountains and forests in the distance are not very clear, there should still be a large number of strange beasts hidden, such a large group of beasts gathered together but do not attack, what do they want to do?" Pan Xuexian wondered.

"Are you waiting for your time?" Someone said.

"Don't be funny, this is a strange beast and not a human, how can it have such a high IQ? Still waiting for the opportunity, you simply say that they are arranging their formations. Someone retorted.

But Zhao Ya's face became more and more serious.

Because he actually had this guess in his heart all along.

If these strange beasts attacked in a chaotic manner, then Zhao Ya was relieved.

What I'm afraid of is the current situation of forbearance.

"It's a pity that I can't see what is going on in the mountains and forests in the distance." Zhao Ya sighed.

He had thought about making a simple telescope before, but it turned out that there were no usable crystals near Yunxiao County.

As for the ...... of glass products.

This world does not have such a high glass smelting technology at all, and the glass produced is very transparent and cannot be used at all.

In desperation, I had to give up.

After Pan Xuexian heard Zhao Ya's words, he took off the longbow behind his back, and then pulled out a special arrow from the quiver, the arrow was bulging, and there was liquid stored in it.

When lit with a fire breaker, the arrow burns like a giant torch.

Then Pan Xuexian stretched out his bow and shot at the mountains and forests in the distance.

With a whoosh, the arrow shot out like a meteor, breaking through the darkness and slashing over the mountains and forests.

The mountains and forests where I passed became much clearer under the light of the arrows and torches.

Although it is still very vague, it is enough for a master of Zhao Ya's level.

At a glance, he caught a glimpse of many beast-type beasts hidden in the mountains and forests.

Jackals, tigers and leopards are just a few.

But at this time, these strange beasts were all honestly dormant in the mountains and forests, not moving.

At that moment, a shrill cry was heard in the night sky, and then a huge bird flew by at great speed, its wings flapping right on the arrow.

With a snap, the arrow was smashed into the forest, and everything returned to darkness.

"It's a flying beast!" Someone exclaimed.

Flying beasts are rare, difficult and terrifying, and can be extremely dangerous if encountered in the wild.

"Fortunately, there are not many of these flying beasts, and they all have a strong sense of territory, so they won't appear in groups!" Someone rejoiced.

At this time, more and more people gathered on the castle tower.

Shen Dao and Miao Shaocheng also came.

"What's going on?" Shen Dao asked when he saw him.

"The siege is not attacked, this is the situation." Zhao Ya said.

As he was talking, someone suddenly shouted, "Retreat, retreat, retreat." ”

Everyone looked at it, and sure enough, it was not true.

The herd of beasts that had been roaming under the city walls gradually retreated into the mountains and forests and disappeared.

And with the dissipation of the herd, the originally tense atmosphere in the castle tower has also relaxed a lot.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Someone even laughed and said: "Aren't I stupid to see these strange beasts, I guess I saw that there were so many of us here, and I knew that I couldn't beat them, so I was scared away." ”

But Zhao Ya didn't feel relaxed at all, but his face became more and more solemn.

Of course, he wouldn't think that these beasts were scared away.

Moreover, when this group of strange beasts retreated, they were in an orderly manner, and there were even a few shadows of the army.

This made Zhao Ya even more worried.

Shen Dao naturally saw Zhao Ya's worries, and couldn't help asking, "Is there any way?" ”

Zhao Ya shook his head.

He is not a god.

These beasts are clearly waiting for their time, and when they have enough strength, they will attack in a big way.

This situation is simply not something that can be changed by an individual.

Unless a master of the Five Realms comes forward, then it can have the possibility of swaying the situation of the battle.

Seeing this, Shen Dao couldn't help but be silent.

It may be that the solemn aura of their senior brothers infected the others, and all the warriors in the city tower gradually closed their mouths and stopped talking.

The conversation between Zhao Ya and Shen Dao just now, Pan Xuexian on the side heard it, and at this moment he finally couldn't help it and asked.

"Master Zhao, do you have any opinions, can you say it for everyone's reference?"

"Yes, Master Zhao, you are quick-witted, if you have any ideas, just say them and let everyone hear them!" Someone chimed in.

"We all listen to you!" Some simply expressed their support.

Now, with Zhao Ya's reputation rising, his status in the hearts of all martial artists has also risen.

Many people looked at him expectantly.

Zhao Ya pondered for a moment, and then said, "This wave of alien beasts retreating is by no means the end, I speculate that they should also be waiting for the opportunity, so we must not take it lightly. ”

"In my opinion, from today onwards, all of our martial arts halls should send people to garrison the city tower, this is the first priority, after all, if it weren't for a few juniors and disciples of the Hundred Steps Martial Arts Hall to discover the situation in time today, we might all suffer."

Everyone had no objection to this point, and they agreed to it with a bang.

"Good!"

"That's how it should be!"

"Our Zhenshan Boxing Gym will be the first vigil tomorrow!"

In the shout, Zhao Ya continued: "The second is outside the city, there is the shelter of this mountain forest, and the strange beasts are easy to hide, so they must be cleared." ”

"When it is daytime, I will lead the team, and the martial arts halls will send more people, and we will first clear the mountains and forests within two miles of the city wall, so as not to give the beasts a place to hide."

Naturally, everyone has no opinion on this.

So after some discussion, they left first.

After Zhao Ya said a few words to Pan Xuexian and the others, he also returned to the Dingtai Martial Arts Hall.

After seeing Lu Dingtai, Zhao Ya told him what had happened, and Lu Dingtai frowned slightly when he heard it.

"These brutes still have such discipline, it can be seen that there must be a powerful and intelligent beast in command."

Zhao Ya nodded, "The disciple also guessed so, so I decided to clear the wilderness first, cut down the mountains and forests outside the city, and force out the form of the command beast as much as possible, as long as it is destroyed, the pressure will be greatly relieved." ”

"Okay, just do what you want."

With Lu Dingtai's support, after waiting for dawn, Zhao Ya took dozens of disciples of the Dingtai Martial Arts Hall to the city gate.

At this time, the people from the major martial arts halls also arrived.

The parties gathered in one place, then opened the heavy gates and began to cut down the trees outside the city.

For these warriors, cutting down trees couldn't be easier.

Sometimes you don't need a knife or axe, you can cut the tree with a single palm.

Everyone talked and laughed, and the progress was extremely fast.

But at this moment, a martial arts hall disciple suddenly felt an itch on his face.

He grabbed it with his hand disappreciatively, and then howled miserably the next second.

By the time Zhao Ya arrived, the disciple had already rolled to the ground, his cheeks swollen like watermelons, and he howled bitterly.

At the same time, he also exudes a sweet and greasy smell.

The warrior's brother pressed his hands and feet hard, controlling him not to scratch.

Zhao Ya walked quickly to the front and found that the young martial artist had an inconspicuous small wound on his cheek.

But it was this small wound that made his face swollen and tall, and there seemed to be something squirming in it.

Zhao Ya was startled in his heart, and just as he wanted to say something, he saw this young martial artist suddenly roar, and he suddenly broke free of his arm, and grabbed his face with all his might.

Poof.

The transparent skin was scratched, and dozens of black bees flew out of it.

Zhao Ya's face changed drastically, "Get out of the way!" ”

But it was too late, and the closest brothers were instantly surrounded by black bees, and then they also howled miserably like this young martial artist.

The rest of the black bees pounced on the crowd, and a few of them even pounced on Zhao Ya.

But as soon as they got closer, the black bees fell to the ground.

At the same time, Zhao Ya's figure flashed, secretly transporting poison, and finally succeeded in poisoning all these dozens of black bees to the ground.

At this time, looking at these people on the ground, their skin had already ulcerated and they died.
