Chapter 360 Storm
Gu Yang stood at the exit of Ghost Canyon, looking at the ground that was messed up by the battle, with a trace of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes.
He knew that this victory would not be without cost, but it was necessary for their mission.
He turned around and waved to the injured team members behind him: "Let's go."
Although the team members were tired, everyone's steps seemed firm and powerful under the joy of victory. They followed Gu Yang and quickly left the canyon that was once a battlefield.
As they left, Ghost Canyon returned to its usual silence, with only the sound of the wind constantly telling what had just happened.
Gu Yang led the team along a secret path that they had prepared in advance to avoid the main patrol route of the Polygon clan.
They passed through the dense forest, crossed the hills, and finally left the confines of Ironstone Castle.
When they emerged from the last woods, they were greeted by an open plain. The stars in the sky seemed to shine brighter for their success.
Gu Yang stopped and looked back at the team members who were following behind him. His eyes were full of appreciation: "Thank you for your hard work. We can succeed in this operation only because of your efforts."
The team members shook their heads, indicating that this was what they should do.
"However, we cannot let down our guard yet." Gu Yang's tone suddenly became serious, "The attack on Iron Stone Castle is only the first step. We have more important tasks to complete next."
The team members nodded, knowing that Gu Yang was telling the truth. Along the way, everyone knew that their goal was much more than that.
Gu Yang looked at the sky and saw that it was already late at night. He decided to find a place for everyone to rest: "We will rest in the valley in front for the night and start again early tomorrow morning."
The team members had no objections and followed Gu Yang towards the valley ahead.
The valley was small and very quiet. Gu Yang and the others found a secluded place and lit a bonfire. Everyone sat around the fire, sharing dry food and recovering their strength.
The firelight illuminated everyone's face, and although they were tired, their eyes shone with determination. They know that as long as they work together, nothing is impossible.
It was late at night, and the team members fell asleep one after another, while Gu Yang sat by the fire, watching the night quietly. His eyes looked into the distance, as if he could penetrate the darkness and see the dawn of the future.
Tomorrow, they will continue to move forward, heading towards an even more difficult road. But no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, Gu Yang has the confidence to lead his team members to overcome them one by one.
Because they are an invincible team and their beliefs are stronger than the stars.
The next day, when the rising sun shined through the gaps in the valley and cast wisps of warm light on the faces of the team members, Gu Yang gently woke everyone up.
They quickly packed up their equipment and put out the campfire, leaving no traces behind.
Gu Yang stood at the front of the team, his eyes firm, reflecting the light of the morning sun, and his figure looked particularly tall. He looked back at the team members and nodded, indicating that they were ready to go.
The team set off slowly, their steps steady and powerful. Although the battle last night consumed a lot of their physical strength, everyone's face was still filled with unyielding determination.
They passed through valleys, crossed creeks, bypassed patches of green jungle, and finally came to a wide official road. Gu Yang knew that along this road, they would reach their next target - Fengyun City.
Fengyun City is a big city with prosperous commerce and trade, where people come and go and it is very lively.
Different from the serious vigilance of Iron Stone Castle, the atmosphere of Fengyun City is much more open.
This is a place where multiple races communicate. There are more powerful people than Iron Stone Castle. It is also a key location for Gu Yang and his team's next mission.
They moved quickly along the official road, trying to avoid attracting the attention of passers-by. Gu Yang led the team. They looked like a group of merchants. Everyone had a peaceful smile on their face, but there was a sharp light in their eyes.
Along the way, Gu Yang looked back from time to time to observe the team's situation, making sure that no one was alone or too tired.
They must be in top condition, because he knows that the mission in Fengyun City will be more complex and dangerous than Ironstone Castle.
After several hours of marching, the walls of Fengyun City finally appeared in their sight. The city wall is majestic and majestic, with various flags flying on it, and the city gate is bustling with people.
Gu Yang signaled the team members to stop. They simply dressed up in the woods outside the city gate, and then entered the city in the most unobtrusive way.
The streets in the city were bustling with people, and the sounds of selling and talking were intertwined, forming a bustling scene.
Gu Yang and the team members mingled among the crowd, their eyes scanning the surroundings from time to time, looking for the intended mark and contact person.
According to the plan, they need to contact an important alien intelligence officer here, who holds the key information needed for their next actions.
Gu Yang led the team members through the market and came to a seemingly ordinary teahouse.
They found a seat in the corner of the teahouse and ordered some tea and snacks.
Gu Yang's eyes scanned the teahouse and finally stopped on a four-armed man in plain clothes.
The man from the Four-Armed Clan was sitting by the window. The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains and shone dappledly on his broad shoulders.
His skin color is a deep blue, which is completely different from ordinary humans, giving people a deep and mysterious feeling.
Four strong arms rested quietly on the table. Each arm was engraved with complex totems, shining with a faint luster, and seemed to contain some ancient power.
His face was resolute, and his eyebrows revealed a sharp edge that could not be ignored. His deep eyes scanned the surroundings from time to time, alert and calm.
His eyes were a rare amber color, shining with intelligence.
The Four-Armed man's hair was tied back casually by a thick rubber band, and a few strands of green hair fell casually on his forehead, adding a bit of casualness.
He was dressed simply, a gray coarse cloth robe wrapped around his strong body, the edge of the robe was embroidered with light gold patterns, which looked low-key yet tasteful.
In this bustling teahouse, his presence seems to be incompatible with the surrounding hustle and bustle, but he has a sense of presence that cannot be ignored.
After Gu Yang and the team members sat down, they were not in a hurry to contact the man from the Four-Armed Tribe. Instead, they quietly sipped tea and waited for the right moment.
They know that communication on such occasions requires extreme caution, as any inadvertent move may attract unnecessary attention.
The man from the Four-Armed Clan seemed to have noticed the gazes of Gu Yang and the others. He raised his head slightly, his eyes met, and a glimmer of recognition flashed in his eyes.
He slowly raised a hand and scratched his chin gently. This was a pre-agreed signal, indicating that he had noticed the arrival of Gu Yang and the others.
Gu Yang smiled knowingly, knowing that the next action would be carried out under the leadership of this man from the Four-Armed Clan.
Their mission has just begun, and this man from the Four-Armed Tribe is undoubtedly the key to their success.
Time passed, and the four-armed alien kept sitting by the window, holding a book in his hand, and seemed to be reading intently.
After a long time, Gu Yang stood up and walked towards the man. His movements were unhurried and his expression was natural.
Soon, he sat down opposite the man and asked softly: "Is the story of Fengyun City as wonderful as described in the book?"
The middle-aged man raised his head, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a smile: "It's even more exciting than what is described in the book, especially the recent chapters."
The two looked at each other and smiled. The people around them didn't notice the exchange between them at all, and they didn't know that this was their secret code.
Now that the codes matched, Gu Yang knew that their mission had officially begun.
Gu Yang nodded slightly, and his eyes quickly swept around the teahouse to make sure that no one noticed their conversation, and then continued in a low voice: "Then, can you please describe the latest chapter for me?"
The four-armed alien man tilted his head slightly, as if listening to the noise in the teahouse, but in fact he was making sure that no one was eavesdropping around him.
Two of his four hands were placed gently on the table, while the other two held books. This posture was both natural and able to respond at any time.
"Recently, the power structure of Fengyun City has undergone some changes." The four-armed alien man whispered, his voice was calm, and every word seemed to have been carefully considered, "New forces have appeared in the black market in the Southern District, and behind them It seems to have a lot of background.”
Gu Yang frowned slightly. This information was crucial to them. He quickly asked: "Is it possible that this new force is our enemy?"
"It's very possible." A sharp look flashed in the eyes of the four-armed alien man. "Their behavior is quite similar to that of one of our enemies, and they have recently been in frequent contact with some suspicious individuals."
Gu Yang was silent for a moment, and then asked: "So, do you have any clues about the leader of this new force?"
The four-armed alien man nodded slightly and replied in a low voice: "As far as I know, the leader of this force is a mysterious figure. The outside world calls him the 'Night Walker'. He rarely shows up, but every time he appears, it causes a stir."
"Night Walker..." Gu Yang recited the name silently, already having a plan in mind, "We need more information about him."
"I will continue to pay attention." After the four-armed alien man finished speaking, he gently closed the book in his hand and handed it to Gu Yang, indicating that the conversation was over.
This book contains information about all the forces in Fengyun City.
Gu Yang took the book and stood up, nodding to the four-armed alien man to express his gratitude.
Then, he returned to his seat and briefly exchanged a few words with the team members, and their expressions became more solemn.
People were coming and going in the teahouse, but no one noticed this seemingly ordinary but important exchange.
Gu Yang and the team members hurriedly finished their snacks, then stood up and left the teahouse. Their steps were even more hurried because they knew that what they would face next might be a more hidden and dangerous contest.
They need to formulate a new plan as soon as possible. In addition to eliminating the official power of the Polygonal Tribe in Fengyun City, they also need to deal with this mysterious figure named "Dark Night Walker" and the emerging forces he represents.
Gu Yang led the team and disappeared into the bustling crowd of Fengyun City. Their figures gradually faded out of sight, but their mission and determination were stronger than ever.
The afternoon sun shines through the busy streets of Fengyun City, casting patches of light under the hidden eaves where Gu Yang and He Lianfeng are.
Their expressions were extremely serious, and their eyes were shining with thought.
Gu Yang opened the intelligence book from the four-armed alien man, and his fingertips gently brushed the edge of a page, where some scattered information about the "Night Walker" was recorded. He took a deep breath and began to analyze possible clues.
"Master Helian, we need to act separately." Gu Yang's voice was low and powerful, "Please take a team to the black market in the southern district to collect the movements of the "Night Walker". Remember, you must keep a low profile and not cause any disturbances."
Helian Feng nodded to show his understanding, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "I understand, Gu Yang, what are you going to do?"
"I will go around with another team to verify the information in the book." Gu Yang raised the book in his hand, his eyes firm, "The forces of all parties in Fengyun City are mixed together, we must first lock the positions of the strong men in the city."
The two looked at each other, and they could see the determination to not give in from each other's eyes.
Helian Feng stood up, tidied his clothes, and then said to Gu Yang: "Then I will act immediately."
"Wait a minute." Gu Yang suddenly spoke, he took out a small silver conch from his arms and handed it to Helian Feng, "This is the tidal conch given to me by His Royal Highness the King of Qin. If you encounter an emergency, use it to contact me."
Helian Feng took the tidal conch, nodded, then turned and left, disappearing in the crowded streets.
Gu Yang retracted his gaze, he carefully studied the intelligence book in his hand again, and memorized the various intelligence recorded in it as quickly as possible.
He gently closed the book, stood up, and took a deep breath. Then, he waved to the team members, motioning them to follow him.
A quarter of an hour later, Gu Yang led the remaining team members through the bustling crowd.
They looked alert, but their steps were as casual as possible, just like ordinary pedestrians in the city.
Gu Yang knew in his heart that they needed not only intelligence, but also needed to verify the intelligence one by one, so that they could take the lead in the next action.
They first came to a busy market in the north of the city, where all kinds of vendors and craftsmen gathered, and there were also many restaurants. It was an important node for intelligence exchange in Fengyun City.
When they arrived here, the team members dispersed, disguised as ordinary traders, and searched for possible clues in the market.
As for Gu Yang, he found a particularly lively restaurant, sat down and ordered a few small dishes, and then tasted the foreign food while listening to the conversations among the people around him... (End of this chapter)
