Outside Xiaoshan Town, in the beating of alarming drums, a column of militiamen went to the city with guns under the urging of the captain, and several artillery pieces also took off their gun coats and aimed at the outside of the town.

In their sight, a long procession appeared, numbering about a thousand people.

"Where did these people come from?"

The people of the town were shocked.

The particularly aggressive barbarian tribes around the town have long been dispersed by them, and the remaining milder ones are also dependent on the town to survive, and the economy and people's livelihood are all controlled by the town, and they are still being continuously integrated, and now there are no barbarian tribes of more than two hundred people within two hundred miles nearby.

When these people approached, the townspeople noticed that at first glance this generation looked a little like barbarians, but when they were carefully distinguished, they were obviously different.

Most of the barbarians were covered in animal skins and leaves, and most of them were clothed in cloth, and a few even wore gorgeous clothes, blue and yellow hanging clothes, and crowns of colored feathers and gold thread.

It was evident that they not only had a clear class division, but also a certain level of organization and discipline, which was by no means comparable to any barbarian they had come into contact with before.

Where the hell did these people come from? It's like they've come out of the ground.

A militia leader asked the mayor if he wanted to take the initiative, but he was denied. The town's first priority is to save the lives of the townspeople, as long as these people of unknown origin do not stop here, destroy the farmland and attack Xiaoshan Town, then the town will not take the initiative to attack.

Chen Zheng took a few students with him to record their appearance, clothing, decorations, communication methods, etc., and prepared to hand them over to the messenger to present to the capital.

The appearance of such a group of people of unknown origin in the wasteland must not be ignored.

He soon discovered that the men were not coming in the direction of the town, but had entered the ruins, which were quickly obscured by the remaining walls and pillars.

In the ruins, several barbarians came out of the giant python cave and said a few words to an old man holding a gold and silver staff and looking like a sacrifice.

An angry look appeared on the old man's face, and with a gesture of his hand, someone immediately came up and whipped these barbarians.

He stepped into the clearing, took out a candle and lit it, muttering something in his mouth, and after a while, white smoke rose from it, forming a long wicker-like branch, which was slightly raised and pointed in a certain direction.

He beckoned, and immediately a dozen or so strong men in leather armor with short knives and spears stood up. After he had gone up and said a great deal, the men, as soon as they bowed their heads to him, turned over a meerkat that looked like a cat, and with a short cry from the creatures, they sped in a southeasterly direction, and soon disappeared from sight.

A man with a white mask came out of the crowd and said in Tianxia language, "Can you find such a small number of people?"

The old man turned around and replied confidently in the Tianxia language, "Erlan is the best warrior in my clan, he has the blood of a god, and has the same power as your Tianxia god. ”

The man said in a playful voice, "Hopefully, your opponent this time is not ordinary." ”

At this moment, in front of the arch bridge of the Jihe River, Cai Ying heard the sound of fire in front of him, raised his hand and signaled, and the group immediately slowed down the speed of the horse, he leaned over to look forward, turned his head to Wen and said: "Master Wen, you go to the front and ask, who are they." ”

After smelling a little, he untied the big coat on his body, and galloped away, seeing that he was just a person coming, still wearing a Taoist robe, and the person guarding the bridge did not make any radical moves.

Wen Guo negotiated with those people under the bridge for a long time, and then rushed back, and said: "Uncle Cai, I asked, those people are all soldiers from Guanshan Town, and they said that they found out that there were heretists trying to destroy the bridge a few days ago, so they sent people to guard here." ”

Wende asked, "Can we go over?"

Wen Guo shook his head and said, "They said that the captain's order is that no one is allowed to pass until the cultists are dealt with, and we are no exception. ”

Wen Deqi said: "Isn't it okay for us to have a book crossing road post in Xuanfu?"

Wen Guo said helplessly: "The problem is here, none of these people can recognize the Xuanfu Road sticker, for fear that we are forgery, so they refuse to let us go no matter what, and they refuse to send a letter to inform the town." ”

Wen De was also speechless for a while.

Cai Wan pondered for a moment and said, "It's impossible for us to delay here, besides, these Xenomorphists are likely to be the group of people we want to hunt down, so we can't wait, let's take a detour." “

If you want to say that their group can break through with their strength, even if this group of militia has firearms, they can't stop them, but these actions will inevitably cause certain casualties. But they are not robbers, they must follow the rules and laws in their actions, and they will not do anything to kill or injure the soldiers under the control of the Imperial Protectorate, and this is likely to cause great chaos.

On the contrary, they can hold these people accountable for delaying the actions of the Xuanfu afterwards, but where will they deal with a few loyal militiamen, so the best way to avoid conflict at the moment is to go elsewhere.

Wen De said: "Uncle Cai, is there any other place to cross this river?"

The horse under Cai Yong suddenly twisted twice, he patted the horse's neck, soothed, and said, "When I came last time, the water of this Ji River was much more turbulent than it is now. But now it is much shallower, and the water is not so urgent, it should be because there has been no rain for two months, and there should be a place to pass in the narrow places in the middle and lower reaches. If it really didn't work, we left the horses and assistants here for the time being, and the four of us cut wood for boats, crossed the river first, stayed in Guanchen Town, and came back to pick it up. ”

The Wen brothers all felt reasonable.

Zhang Yu also has no objections.

So the group turned to gallop downstream of the Ji River. However, this time it seemed to be unlucky, until the sky gradually fell into darkness, and I could not find a suitable place to cross the river.

Cai Hao stopped at this time, he stood on the bank of the Ma River, looked at the surging water, and said: "It's late today, it's better to look for it tomorrow, if you can't find a suitable place tomorrow morning, the four of us will try to go first." ”

Zhang Yu actually felt that whether the sky was dark or not had no effect on the four of them, Cai Yu had been emphasizing grabbing time just now, so he could let the assistant rest first, and they continued to search.

However, this time it is Cai Yu who is in charge, since he has changed his mind, he will not speak out against it if he does not encounter a very special situation.

The group walked around the neighborhood and found a place on higher ground, and the assistants dismounted, unloaded the tents and other things from the pack horses, cut down trees, and soon set up several large tents.

Four single tents are located above the four corners, and two large tents are located in the middle.

Then they used shovels to dig a deep trench outside the station, and a circle of simple antlers was placed outside, and a rope tied to a bell was pulled out of the gap, which was completely in the style of a military army.

Because there may be Xenotheists nearby, they can't make a fire to cook food at the moment, but fortunately, everyone on this trip has the pills provided by the Duhu Mansion by their side, and the fresh water they carry with them is also enough, so they won't be affected much.

After Zhang Yu talked to Cai Yu and the others for a while, a person walked out, wearing a cloak, standing on a high place and looking at the mountain peak in the distance that was still magnificent and majestic in the twilight.

In the past few days, I have been on the road, but I am getting closer and closer to this goddess peak.

The beacon tower that is said to be able to be seen by Tianxia when it is lit is there, and if you have time in the future, you can go to pay a respect.

After watching quietly for a while, he turned back to the station, came to his single tent, washed briefly with the water he fought, and then took a Yuan Yuan Dan, and sat down cross-legged.

After meditating for a summer, he came out of his meditation, and now his surroundings were completely quiet, so that his heart could call, and as a burst of light rose around him, the Great Dao Hun chapter emerged.

He had been on guard since he got the hint of the peach charm that day, and the events of the day made him feel that danger was approaching, maybe those Xenothetic cultists were nearby, so it was necessary to strengthen his strength.

Now the Shenyuan he has can only observe and read two seals, and in Xuanzhang, the newly harvested three seals need to be read together according to the Xuanfu Chapter, so it is possible to find the seal of the heart light, so he can't use it for the time being, so he can only think of a way to go to the Hun Chapter.

There is only a "sword seal" left on the Hun chapter that has not been observed, in fact, it is the most practical to improve this seal. Because the two seals of "sword" and "control" are one, "control seal" has been read and read at present, but the sword seal has been vacant there, and he has endured it for a long time.

If you read it as well, then the seal is relatively complete.

With a decision in his heart, he immediately looked at the "Sword Seal", and as the Divine Yuan gradually decreased, the light on the seal lit up at the same time, and illuminated his whole person.

In an instant, he felt that some kind of subtle change had occurred in his body, which was not really a substantive change, but the affinity and mastery of the sword weapon in his body and mind had reached a higher level.

Originally, there was still a layer of separation between him and the sword, but at this moment, it seemed to have been completely erased, and there was no hindrance between each other.

With a move in his mind, as a snowy light illuminated the cloak, he had already pulled out the Xia Sword and rested it on his lap.

He could feel that this time the sword was extremely smooth, and it was a real heart to the sword, and he intended to move the sword, rather than relying on Xia Jian's ability.

At this moment, he even had an urge to go out to practice the sword style, but he just changed his mind, and easily pressed this emotion, and returned to the calm that did not have a ripple before.

He was about to put away the seal, but at this time, he was stunned, and he found that after reading the sword seal, the two seals did not coincide again, but on top of this, a new seal was actually derived!

"It's ......"

His eyes flickered, but without hesitation, he threw Shen Yuan into it, and as the seal also lit up, his body was once again enveloped in a burst of light.

After the light subsided, he raised the Xia Sword and stared at it, and when he was about to make a move, a trace of ripple suddenly came from the heart lake.

Well?

He tilted his head slightly, but he noticed Cai Ying coming out of his tent and leaving the station without alarming anyone.

"Senior Brother Cai, where are you going?"

He thought about it for a while, and didn't mean to follow up and peep, Cai Ying wanted to have his own ideas, and although he didn't show anything to do before, his cultivation was undoubtedly much higher than him, and there shouldn't be anything wrong.

But Cai Hui went this time, but he didn't come back for a long time.

And when it was almost the second half of the night, he suddenly opened his eyes.

There were a lot of footsteps outside, and they were coming towards them!

......
