Chapter 2104 The Deep Pit Incident
Chapter 2104 The Deep Pit Incident
Liu Zongda was still bragging about how powerful he was last night, beheading several enemies with a single blow, he paused for a moment after hearing Lin Yue's words, and thought for a while before speaking.
"Let's go to Fenghua Tower, it's the highest place in Beimo City, from there you can even see the Chiyang barrier on the border of the town."
"Can."
Arriving at the inn as usual, they were planning to take the carriage pulled by the strange beast to the Fenghua Building, but the three of them were surprised to find that there was not a single beast left in front of the inn.
"How is this going?"
Liu Zongda took out the black coat of arms representing the identity of the Black Iron Guard, and walked into the post shop with a somewhat ugly expression.
As soon as they entered the store, the three of them realized that there were already many people staying in the store, and they were surrounding the clerk asking for something.
Seeing Liu Zongda entering the door holding the coat of arms of the Black Iron Guard, some people stepped aside respectfully.
In Beimo City, everyone knows the prestige of the Black Iron Guard. Even the high-level officials of the big families have to give enough respect to the Black Iron Guard, at least on the surface.
After all, to be able to become a black iron guard, the first requirement is that the strength must at least break through to the ancient immortal level, which is also the threshold that has blocked countless people.
"Why is there not even a single beast!?"
When he came to the clerk, Liu Zongda asked sullenly.
The clerk also felt a little heartbroken when he saw Liu Zongda. If other people came to inquire, even if those people were very rich, they would have nothing to do if they were dissatisfied with him, but the Black Iron Guard was different.
As one of the powers of the Black Iron Guards, they can restrain those they suspect at any time and take them back for interrogation, so many people dare not offend the Black Iron Guards easily. Fate! ?
"My lord! This is really not my problem!"
As soon as the clerk opened his mouth, he picked himself up completely.
However, what he said next stunned Liu Zongda and the uninformed people beside him.
"There are many bottomless pits in the city, because those strange beasts can only recognize the way after training, and they don't care whether there is a problem with the road under their feet. More than ten strange beasts have fallen into the deep pits... ..."
"The deep pit...?
? "
After hearing the clerk's explanation, Lin Yue was a little puzzled.
He originally thought that the reason why the inn was out of service was related to Liu Zongda and the Black Iron Guards who wiped out the Qi Yuan family last night, but he didn't expect it to be because of another irrelevant matter.
Liu Zongda on the side also looked dazed. As a black iron guard, he must be very well-informed, but he didn't hear any relevant information.
It may be related to the continuous execution of missions last night, or it may be that this deep pit incident has just appeared not long ago, and it has not yet been transmitted to their Black Iron Guard's intelligence network.
"When did this happen?"
Liu Zongda asked the clerk aloud.
Seeing that Liu Zongda didn't seem to pursue his intentions any further, the clerk breathed a sigh of relief and replied.
"I received the message before a stick of incense. I don't know exactly when it happened, but it must have started this morning. Since half an hour ago, no strange beasts from other stations have come to me. , so I slowly became free."
"Fine."
Seeing this, Liu Zongda also knew that it was meaningless to continue to question, so he turned around helplessly and walked out with Lin Yue and the others.
Seeing Liu Zongda turn and leave, the clerk wanted to say something else, but remembering the name of Black Tiewei, he kept his mouth shut silently and decided not to meddle in other people's business.
"What should I do? If there are no strange beasts, I can only walk on my legs."
Qing Bingying on the side heard it and replied, "Let's go, anyway, I'm just wandering around."
Lin Yue did not speak, but looked at Liu Zongda silently.
"Um……"
Liu Zongda was a little conflicted. After all, the old man had arranged for him to keep watch over Lin Yue and the two of them at all times, so that he could not communicate with the civilians in the city. But he thought about it and thought that he had been with Lin Yue and the others for two days, and he hadn't found each other. If there were any bad intentions, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Then walk to Fenghua Tower, but don't run around, if you get lost, I will be punished..."
"I know, I know!"
So the three of them walked along the streets and alleys in the direction of Fenghua Building.
...
At the same time, in the secret room of the clan hall, a group of black figures gathered again.
"You tell everyone what's going on outside now?"
The big guardian looked at the lame old man and asked in a cold voice.
"I would like to report to you ancestors that a large number of sunken pits suddenly appeared in the city early this morning. Dozens of people have fallen into them by accident, and some of them even have practitioners of a certain level, but none of them have appeared again..."
The Great Protector glanced at the figures around him, and asked in a deep voice, "Well, what do you guys think about this situation?"
A shrill female voice suddenly sounded.
"Dharma protector, the solar calendar is coming soon, but now such a thing has happened, I guess there are some people who don't want the memorial service of the solar calendar to be held as usual?"
After a brief silence, another hoarse voice replied, "...It is very possible that no matter who wants to prevent the holding of the solar calendar, he must let
They paid a terrible price! "
The lame old man standing by the door of the secret room heard their conversation, and couldn't help but curl his mouth slightly. From his point of view, these ancestors may have gone crazy after living for an unknown number of years. The logic and normality of their speech People think completely differently.
I don't know who is sabotaging it secretly, so I have already started talking harshly...
It's so funny!
However, the crippled old man quickly restrained the smile on his lips, because he noticed a cold gaze sweeping towards him.
For some reason, the crippled old man always felt as if he was being watched by the Great Protector, including the last time he was asked suddenly, always paying attention to his situation inexplicably.
Could it be that his thoughts have been noticed by the other party?
Thinking of this, the lame old man's heart suddenly shrank, but soon he returned to normal.
There are only a few days left until the solar period, as long as you survive these few days, everything will usher in a new life!
...
In the streets and alleys of Beimo City, the three of Lin Yue walked towards Fenghua Building while looking at the surrounding environment.
Although Yao Qi was not stimulated, after nearly two hours' journey, they had already arrived near Fenghua Building.
After Qing Bingying glanced at the surrounding environment, she couldn't help complaining.
"It's so deserted here!"
Counting them, there were less than ten people in the surrounding streets and alleys.
