Chapter 1191 Shadow
But soon, Xiang Nan saw a strange scene, this general was very (hot rรจ) (love qรญng) to himself, but the other soldiers were very disdainful of him.
After careful questioning, I learned that the generals who were guarding Tianhuo Island before were only Tianyuan Wuzhong, and died on the island, and only half of the corpse has been found so far.
The Tanglin military found that the situation was serious, so they sent this young and powerful general.
He is new here, and Xiang Nan is also new here, so it is naturally easy for the two sides to get together.
But those soldiers who had experienced the battle were disdainful of Xiang Nan's realm.
No one greeted Xiang Nan, and no one looked at him more.
The general immediately took Xiang Nan into the camp and got into the military tent.
"My name is Wu Jun, you are not a soldier, just call me Brother Wu. The general patted Xiang Nan on the shoulder: "Young and promising, it seems that the little brother is only in his thirties, and he is already a nine-fold peep into the sky, and the guild disciples are really extraordinary." โ
The appearance of a warrior ages very slowly, and it is difficult to judge the age from his appearance, and most of them are guessed according to the realm.
Xiang Nan didn't explain anything, so he said, "Brother Wu, can you tell me what happened on the island." โ
"Okay, Brother Xiang is really resolute, I'll tell you. โ
At the beginning, on Tianhuo Island, there were only some patrolling soldiers who disappeared mysteriously, and one or two would disappear in about three or four days.
Later, the numbers began to increase, and three or four disappeared almost every day.
At first, the military thought that it was a sneak attack by a small area of demon beasts, and they didn't pay much attention to it, but just sent some more people to defend.
But then, the problem got worse.
Na Wu Jun pointed to the map and said, "We have five thousand people, stationed in the four corners of the entire Tianhuo Island, in the southeast, northwest, and north, to observe the movements of the demon beasts in all directions. โ
"But strangely, none of the four camps were attacked, and all the dead were patrols patrolling the island. โ
"We suspected that there were powerful demon beasts in the core area of the island, so we sent more people to check on them, but none of them made it back alive. โ
"We even started to send some masters from the late stage of the Tian Yuan Realm, and even the early stage of the Sky Realm, but they are all gone. โ
"At this time, we still thought it was a monster making trouble, but we slowly found that things (ๆ qรญng) are not so simple. โ
Wu Jun pointed to several areas on the map: "Demon beasts usually have a strong sense of territory, and they will not easily step out of their territory. โ
"But the fact that we were attacked in different areas shows that it was most likely human. โ
"Hmm......" Xiang Nan groaned and nodded, "What about the people sent by our guild before." โ
Wu Jun said: "They also went in, but the result was the same, no one came out." โ
"But this time there is something different, the mysterious enemy, and the attack has begun. โ
"Both the Eastern and Western camps were attacked, and more than 100 people disappeared inexplicably. โ
Wu Jun looked up at Xiang Nan: "If it is a demon beast retaliation, they will never just do this, but will directly capture the camp and eat up the human race." โ
"Makes sense. Xiang Nan nodded.
Wu Jun said again: "So we are even more sure that this is not a retaliation by demon beasts, but a warning from humans!"
"Until yesterday, no one dared to patrol the depths of the island, where it was faintly forbidden. โ
Xiang Nandao: "Give me a map, mark all the known accident locations, I want to go and see." โ
Wu Jun took the map and marked seven difficulties for Xiang Nan, but in fact, the real difficulties are far from so few, but where many people died, Wu Jun and they have not found out.
The three groups of martial artists in Midnight Peak have not even found their bodies until now.
Xiang Nan took the map and was about to set off, but was stopped by Wu Jun.
"It's getting late. Wu Jun shook his head and said: "The demonic qi is strong at night, and it is not suitable for reconnaissance operations, and the demonic qi will envelop your perception." โ
Xiang Nan thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, so he chose to act after dawn.
Without the sun's rays, demonic energy grows like crazy, and in this environment, it is extremely difficult to perceive the fluctuations of a human warrior's aura.
Xiang Nan and Na Wu Jun sat in the tent and drank, and after chatting about some innocuous things, they both fell asleep.
Since the last mission, Xiang Nan has not slept for a minute, and he just took the opportunity to replenish his sleep.
This place is located in the camp in the south of the island, and the military tents are set up on the ground, and the soldiers who are closely guarded shuttle back and forth between the camps, waiting for the battle.
In the middle of the night, a full moon hung overhead, and under the demonic aura, the moon looked silver-gray, very strange.
One group of soldiers wandered outside the camp, just in time to change shifts with another.
At this time, Xiang Nan opened his eyes suddenly, and he rushed out without saying a word.
The Wu army's reaction was only a little slower than Xiang Nan's, he also grabbed his spear and rushed out after Xiang Nan.
"You feel it too?" Wu Jun glanced at Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan nodded: "I feel it!"
The two of them rushed out of the barracks back and forth and came to the place where the aura fluctuated abnormally.
As a result, the scene made both of them frown.
Here, there should have been a team of patrols, but at this time, it was empty, on the ground, on the trees, in the air, there was not even the slightest trace of a fight, and there was not even a fluctuation of aura.
Xiang Nan's face was solemn: "Just now when I was asleep, I felt the breath of five people disappearing out of thin air, and then I woke up. โ
The Wu Jun looked at the scene, and the table (ๆ qรญng) was very puzzled: "It shouldn't be, even if it's a sneak attack, how can you not even leave the aura fluctuation." โ
Xiang Nan sniffed his nose: "Is it really a demon beast?"
There is no aura, only demonic energy, which means that no human beings have ever been here.
Wu Jun shook his head firmly: "Impossible! Demon beasts don't have such a high level of spiritual intelligence, how can they do things so neatly." โ
"Besides, my soldiers are all strictly trained, and the monsters only know how to chase and fight, so they will definitely not let the scene be so clean. โ
Xiang Nan was also strange, Wu Jun was right, the missing soldier was very much like a killer, and the demon beast didn't have such a sneak attack consciousness at all.
"But what if it's a demon beast controlled by humans?" Xiang Nan groaned, proposing another idea.
If it is controlled by humans ((cฤo)cฤo), then the behavior of demon beasts is no different from that of humans.
"Probably (sex xรฌng) is low. Wu Jun still shook his head: "Even if there are really humans who tame demon beasts, but demon beasts can only obey orders, but they can't make every move completely similar to humans." โ
"Look at the ground, not to mention the traces of the fight, there are not even messy footprints. โ
The footprints on the ground were neat, indicating that the patrol had suddenly disappeared from the ground.
Just when the two of them were undecided, Xiang Nan grabbed the handle of the knife behind his back with his backhand.
Wu Jun was stunned.
Xiang Nan gave Wu Jun a look and said in a very soft voice: "Don't speak, he's still here." โ
The night wind howled, the gray moonlight fell, and the dense foliage rustled around it.
Except for the breath of Xiang Nan and Wu Jun, there was no more sound.
And Xiang Nan's face slowly turned to a tree.
On that tree, there was a shadow.
This shadow is completely motionless, there are no fluctuations caused by breathing, no aura fluctuations, no demonic qi fluctuations.
Xiang Nan lowered his head, holding the sword soldier, but he didn't move.
Wu Jun swallowed a mouthful of saliva and didn't speak.
