0958. Dark Night Murder

"how so?"

Lei Zang stood in front of the ruins of the moon ship, his whole body was shaking, and his heart was cold.

He has carefully observed the surrounding ruins and can confirm that things are different from what he imagined. Li Mu, Lin Jingxin and others are not dead. Within dozens of miles around, only the corpses of various beasts can be seen, but There are absolutely no traces of the death of the silver scouts, so there is only one possibility. These people were not killed by the Moon Clan warriors or eaten by wild beasts after the death of the formation master.

Escaped.

Now, I'm in trouble.

Beside Lei Zang stood an old man with a bald head and long hair like snow beside his ears.

"Uncle Ming, what should I do?" Lei Zang panicked.

Once Lin Jingxin, Ye Ying, Xiao Jianfei and others survive, his despicable act of killing the formation master in order to gain credit will definitely be known to the military. When the time comes, after investigation, he will be in big trouble.

Damn, why is this happening?

The Moon Emperor's strength was so terrifying, coupled with the Moon Clan troops, as well as the surrounding beast kings, wild beasts and monsters, they didn't even keep this group of people behind. Why on earth?

The bald old man named Uncle Ming has an unfathomable level of cultivation.

"Report to the master." There was no trace of emotion in his cloudy eyes as he said: "The formation masters of the three major scout teams are dead. The news should not have been sent back to the military headquarters. It is still too late to make some remedies now. "

Lei Zang nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, there is still a chance, there is still a chance, then I will trouble Uncle Ming."

The bald old man said with an indifferent expression: "It's no trouble, I'm just doing things for the old master. Remember what the old master said, go and investigate the surroundings now. Since you are in the first year of junior high school, don't hesitate anymore." ”

Lei Zang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I won't have to worry about this."

…

…

After Li Mu finally adapted to the speed of the black dragon horse, the group arrived outside Lieyan City.

Lieyan City is the largest human-inhabited city within a thousand miles. It is home to the largest group army of the Wuhou Military Region, the 'Longyou Army'. It has a strong military presence and covers an area of ​​dozens of miles. It is surrounded by giant walls that are hundreds of meters high. It has a population of tens of millions and is quite prosperous.

Because the immortal tree in the city is a fire tree spirit with luxuriant branches and leaves, and its bark and leaves are naturally orange-red. When viewed from a distance, it looks like a burning flame, hence the name Blazing City.

Li Mu came under the city gate and looked from a distance.

I saw the giant city majestic, like a miracle, a thick and powerful visual impact, rushing towards my face. The city walls are covered with various traces of wars that have vicissitudes of history. People immediately think of this thick city wall. How much cannon fire and sword damage can it withstand for the human race living there?

Around the Flame City, there are dozens of outer camps and outposts of the Dragon-Wandering Army. They are strategically located, like arched conventions, to defend this huge city.

Lin Jingxin stepped forward to identify himself, and after a simple verification, the group was released.

Passing through the checkpoints continuously, we came to the north gate of Raging Flame City.

This interrogation was the most stringent and took about half a stick of incense.

Finally, the group was able to enter Raging Flame City.

The streets in the city are extremely neatly planned, and the buildings are square and well-proportioned, giving Li Mu an indescribable sense of heaviness. All buildings are made of masonry, with solidity, fire protection and shelter as the top priority. In the past, this city It was a well-known military fortress, but later because the front line was retreated to other places and the war gradually moved away, it became a city inhabited by humans.

The streets are bustling with people coming and going.

The excitement in the city and the coldness outside the city seem to be two different worlds.

Li Mu and others were arranged in a military post station.

There are at least a hundred stations like this in Raging Flame City.

As soon as I arrived at the inn, before I had a good rest, someone came to the door.

"Third uncle? Why are you here?" Lin Jingxin was very surprised. Third uncle Lin An was one of the top Mesozoic officials in the Lin family with a strong voice. Logically speaking, he should not have appeared in Raging Flame City.

"I came to Lieyan City to work with your Uncle Jiang. I heard you were coming, so I stopped by to have a look." Lin An is a middle-aged handsome man with slightly naturally curly white hair and an elegant temperament. He said: "Looking for You have something to do, please follow me to do something first."

"Ah? Me?" Lin Jingxin was a little surprised and said subconsciously: "But I still have..."

Lin An smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, others will take care of it. Just let me go now."

Lin Jingxin did not dare to disobey the wishes of his elders. When he had time to turn around and say hello to the others, he left with his third uncle Lin An.

As the two of them walked forward, a woman claiming to be from the Ye family came to the inn and asked for Ye Ying by name.

"Eh? Sister? You...why are you here?" Ye Ying was also very surprised.

The eldest sister Ye He is the number one genius of the Ye family of her generation. She is deeply loved by the current head of the Ye family and is considered the natural best heir to the next generation of the Ye family. Unfortunately, she is a daughter, but Ye He has always been He regards himself as a man, wears men's clothes, wears men's armor, has martial arts skills and mental skills like a man. For this reason, he has rejected the pursuit of many young handsome men from the human race. He is wholeheartedly serving the interests of the family, and therefore has a very high status in the Ye family.

Ye Ying has regarded this eldest sister as her idol since she was a child.

"I'm here to find you." Ye He always spoke directly and concisely.

Ye Yingdao: "Looking for me?"

She was surprised.

"Well, come with me." Ye He turned around and left.

"But...well, okay." Ye Ying handed the signed military intelligence report in her hand to Xiao Jianfei, together with the copy that Lin Jingxin had given her before leaving, and gave Xiao Jianfei a few words of advice. Dare to delay time and immediately left with Ye He.

Xiao Jianfei smiled bitterly.

Li Mu said: "What's going on? Lin and Ye's identities are a bit special?"

Xiao Jianfei carefully put away the three-point report in his hand, including the military intelligence report he had just written, and explained with a smile: "It's not special, but the human race has multiplied in this world for so many years, and many things have emerged. A young hero became a big shot in the army. Since some big families have spawned, the Lin family where Lin Jingxin belongs and the Ye family where Ye Ying belongs are both famous surnames in the Wuhou Military Region. Both of them are quite outstanding in their respective families. The juniors, who have been training in the military, must have happened by chance that the elders at home came to see them, so the task of presenting military information could only fall on me."

Li Mu suddenly realized.

"Brother Xiao, are you from the Xiao family?" he asked.

Xiao Jianfei spread his hands and said: "Among the big families in Wuhou Military Region, there is no Xiao family. I just walked out of a small village step by step. I am different from them... By the way, I am going to the city lord's palace to submit military documents. You Just stay in this inn for now, I will be back in the evening, and Ye Ying and Lin Jingxin should also be back by then, let's find a place to have a few drinks."

He patted Li Mu on the shoulder and left with two scout guards.

Li Mu didn't have much interest in shopping, so he stayed in the post station for the time being and asked Yi Cheng to find some good fodder and tools, feed the horse, and groom the black dragon horse.

This horse is the king of beasts. It understands human nature and has a lot of wisdom. However, it has restrained its aura, so when it entered the city, no one noticed it. However, after being in the wilderness for a long time, it had a wild temperament and a messy mane. Li Mu was quite disabled. Jin, combed his hair, cut his tail, smoothed his mane, and smoothed it down. The black dragon horse looked more and more handsome, and Li Mu simply fell in love with it more and more.

Famous swords are given to knights, and BMWs are given to heroes.

Every warrior has a BMW dream in his heart.

When Li Mu thought about the beautiful picture of riding a black dragon horse in the future, galloping through the chaotic world, doing chivalry and defending the human race, he couldn't help but feel arrogant.

time flies.

In the evening, Li Mu did not wait for Xiao Jianfei to return from the submission.

Lin Jingxin and Ye Ying also disappeared without a trace.

"Did something happen again in the army?"

Li Mu guessed and didn't take it to heart.

There are 236 survivors of the three silver scout teams, all in the inn. The injured silver scouts are recovering in the inn.

When the lanterns first came on, a labor envoy from the Youlong Army arranged a banquet to reward everyone. However, Li Mu didn't like crowded occasions, so he hid in his room and did not go out to participate. The banquet outside was quite lively. For the scouts, it was important to carry out their mission. It was extremely hard, dangerous and tiring at all times, so after returning to the big city, after taking off the armor, it was a rare moment of relaxation and it was easier to let loose.

Li Mu was practicing in his room with his eyes closed.

According to Xiao Jianfei and others, after tonight, the military should come to him soon to verify some things and get military merit. By then, he will have more room to choose compared to others. Which sequence to join the military?

I don’t know when, but the noise of guessing and drinking outside gradually disappeared.

Until now, Xiao Jianfei and the other three still had not returned.

Li Mu stood up slowly, stretched, and was about to open the door to see what was going on outside. Suddenly, a faint smell of blood reached his nose.

For a moment, an indescribable sense of crisis came to mind.

Without thinking, he subconsciously pulled out the rusty sword in his hand.

Three rays of black light silently broke through the door panel of the room, as if they had penetrated tofu, and shot toward Li Mu as fast as lightning.

Ding ding ding!

When there was no time to escape, Li Mu used his sword as a knife and knocked away the three black lights.

at the same time--

Tsk tsk tsk!

A strange sound was heard as the dense stone wall was pierced.

Hundreds of rays of black light densely pierced the walls of the room, like a gust of wind and rain, heading toward Li Mu and killing him. This is the arrow cluster of the God-Destroying Crossbow, a sharp weapon used by the military to kill strong martial artists.

Murderous intent overflowed.

The rusty sword in Li Mu's hand turned into thousands of rays of light, completely protecting his body. It flew and shattered countless clusters of God-killing arrows. At the same time, he flashed his body and directly punched a human-shaped hole in the tofu-like wall. , rushed outside.

Under the moonlight, the silver scout's corpse lay scattered on the ground.

The sergeant wearing a ghost mask, shooting a crossbow with one arm, and covered in black armor, as if he were an evil ghost from hell, had surrounded the room where Li Mu was at some time, and the sound of the crossbow string vibrating like a mosquito was heard continuously. With a sound, Lian Nu's God-Destroying Arrow instantly submerged Li Mu's figure again.

A murderous intention without warning swept through the entire inn.
