Chapter 324: Jintou Village

Xing Ze didn't care what Yuri thought, as long as he didn't stab him in the back, everything would be fine. The most important thing at the moment was the village of Jintou. This secret village in the valley was the best hiding place for cults, criminals and monsters.

"I suggest that we investigate the surrounding terrain first to see if there is any place for us to sneak in."

"Wait a minute." Yuri didn't agree with Xing Ze's words, "How can you be sure that Lanny and the others are in the village ahead?"

"Believe it or not, my friend. But you have followed me all the way here, isn't it a bit late to ask this now?"

"Just want to make sure. I don't want to be surrounded by a large group of snakemen later."

"Your worries are not unreasonable, but there are risks in everything." Xing Ze said, "So we have to check the place before dawn."

There was no point in arguing any further. Yuri took out the pistol from his waist and said, "How is your night vision? If not, let me go ahead."

Xing Ze decisively stepped aside and motioned Yuri to go ahead.

The two spent more than half an hour investigating the surroundings of the village. This is a village built on a relatively flat high ground, with only one entrance and exit. Because of the night, they could only see the situation at the entrance of the village.

Yuri stood behind a grove of trees, and he shook his head and said, "There is only one entrance. It seems that we can only enter from the main gate. But can we deal with the people in this village with just the two of us?"

It shouldn't be just me. Yuri corrected in his heart. Entering from the main gate is undoubtedly tantamount to suicide. If Xing Ze didn't lie to him, Kent and the others were in the village. That means he might be facing an organized and disciplined gang.

Looking at what they did at the previous intersection, you can know that this group of people are not street thugs, and the situation is really not optimistic.

"Then do you have any better ideas?" Xing Ze asked.

"Let's go and ask for backup."

"Support? You mean the police? Don't be ridiculous, Yuri. The police won't believe your lies. Let them send a large number of people here?"

"If they knew that this group of people killed their four colleagues and drove away the ambulance, they would definitely be happy to come here."

Xing Ze nodded and said, "Then go and ask for backup. I'll keep an eye on them and see if they make any moves."

These words made Yuri stunned. He didn't expect Xing Ze to let him go so readily, nor did he expect him to ask to stay.

But he quickly guessed Xing Ze's plan and asked, "Do you want to go it alone?"

"I'm not that stupid, even if I'm a wizard. But I can't guarantee that the other party doesn't have wizards. I won't rush in before I investigate it clearly."

Yuri estimated the time in his mind. It would take at least four hours to go back and forth. Lanny and the others didn't know if they could survive this period.

In addition, no one could guarantee that this was not a temporary stop. Perhaps the other party would set off again after dawn. Various uncertainties made him hesitant.

But it was not a solution to continue waiting here. Yuri made a decisive decision, "Then you stay here?"

"As long as you can trust me."

Yuri said no more. The most important thing now was time. He crouched down and quickly entered the woods.

When he walked away, Xing Ze continued to look at the village not far away. His night vision was far better than Yuri's. There was a narrow passage on the cliff beside the village. The secret passage led to a small cave formed naturally under the cliff.

Of course, if there was no reminder from Bluebeak, Xing Ze would not be able to find this passage. Therefore, he only had to go around there and then go down to the cave from the passage. At that time, he could easily go down to the village with his mutated body or floating spell.

After making up his mind, Xing Ze set off immediately. His current location was still some distance away from the village. With the help of the night, he was unlikely to be discovered by the sentinels, unless those sentinels all had the vision of night owls.

It took him about twenty minutes to reach the edge of the cliff. Bluebeak flew to his side and automatically merged into his arm. Then Xing Ze went down the passage. Soon, the sun would rise, and he would be able to see the whole village clearly. At that time, there would be more ways to enter the village.

Apparition, levitation, etc. could all be used, but similarly, the light also meant that he would be more easily discovered.

So after arriving at the naturally formed cave, Xing Ze did not plan to stay too long, but wanted to enter the village at night. He would take a group of investigators with him later, and the target would be too obvious during the day.

Just as he was about to cast the levitation spell to land on the ground, a touch of orange light lit up in the dark cave. Xing Ze frowned. He did not expect that there would be people in the cave, or other creatures.

He looked around and hid at the edge of the cave. After a while, a man holding a torch walked out of the cave. He drooped his shoulders and looked like an old man.

Xing Ze came behind him like a ghost, and before the man could make any move, he suddenly grabbed the back of his collar and pulled it.

The man fell backwards, and Xing Ze used his arm to clamp his neck, "Shh - I want to know where you came up from? The cave?"

The man struggled a few times, but as the force on his neck became heavier, he could only say: "Yes, yes, there is a way to the village inside."

"What's in the village, are they all members of the Old Record Gang?"

After hearing this question, the man suddenly laughed and said, "Old Record Gang? No, no, no, you don't want to know what's here. I advise you to go back to where you came from, outsider."

Xing Ze increased the strength of his hand, "I don't like your answer very much. Tell me, what on earth is the Old Record Gang doing here?"

After a few violent coughs, the man reached out and patted the ground. It can be heard that he was out of breath.

Xing Ze loosened a little so that the other party could take a few breaths.

"Let me go, outsider, if you want to make trouble for those people, then you've found the wrong person. I'm not in the same group with them."

"Really? That's interesting. Is there any voluntary participation in the Old Record Gang?"

"Damn, bastard. Let me go, I'll take you to see something, in that cave."

Xing Ze thought for a while, and the blue beak broke away from his left hand again, turning into a black cat and running into the cave.

"Don't be impatient, man." He continued, "Tell me more, not long ago, several outsiders were brought to your village. Where were they held?"

"They bring people in every day. You don't understand. This village is a hiding place."

"Hidden what?"

"People, those bastards are trafficking people!" The man almost growled.
