Chapter 111 Confrontation
The wind and snow gradually became lighter, and the endless mountains seemed to be calm. The winter sun, which is not only not warm but also a bit chilly, peeks out slightly. The night will end soon and a new day will begin.
A night of passive or active testing by both parties will come to an end as the sun rises. Regardless of whether the test yields results or nothing is obtained, it seems that both parties are willing to fight when the sun rises, but prefer the dark night.
In the northern half of Xing'an Mountain, in a small wooden house, eight people sat in a circle. The fire in the middle was burning brightly, and the eight people were either making milk tea, warming spirits, or turning the barbecue in their hands.
"How's it going, old Gu? We've tried four or five Gu zombies. Have you got any results?" The tall man chewing barbecue took the milk tea handed to him, raised his hand to wipe the oil from his mouth, and asked the withered man opposite him gently. .
Lao Gu lowered his eyes, held a glass of wine in both hands, and twitched his beard on his mouth, as if he was savoring the aroma of the wine in the glass. After a while, he replied in a hoarse voice, "No big deal, that kid from Southwest Slope is using Of the three monks, only one of them knew he was a sword. While practicing kung fu, the other two did not take action. One of the three Taoist priests from Nanpo used a sword, and the other was practicing talismans. As for the one from Dongpo, it was hard to tell. The boy used a hidden weapon, but The true energy in the whole body is long and pure, and hidden weapons cannot be cultivated..."
After saying that, Old Gu tremblingly picked up the wine glass and took another sip. A ferocious smile appeared on his face as dry as tree bark, "Do you want to continue testing? If we do it based on what we know now, we won't get any advantage."
"No need, forget it if you can't get any advantage. We have already alerted the snake. No more testing will have any good effect..." The tall man drank the milk tea in the bowl in one gulp, raised his head and looked around at everyone. When he spoke again, he silently considered the known information in his mind.
"That kid from Southwest Slope can't beat the second grade, let's start with him. Don't miss the opportunity again."
After the man finished speaking, everyone looked at him, with various emotions in their eyes, but the most vivid one was fanaticism.
"Yelü Qingquan, you and Ahuqi go kill that boy on the southwestern slope. Tuoba Rong, you and Monk Hua go to stop those three monks. Just stop them and don't fight. As for the three Taoist priests..."
"I'll go." Before the man could finish his words, the man wearing a big cloak and a high bun waved his hands and said with a smile, the viciousness on his face clearly visible.
The tall man hesitated for a moment and nodded, then turned to look at the man on the other side who was wearing a moon bun and a knife stuck in his waist, "I'll leave it to you to use the concealed weapon. It would be best if you can test something. Old Gu, the three of us Go and stop those three Taoist priests."
Lao Gu and the other two people stopped what they were doing and nodded slightly.
"Go to sleep and wait until dark."
In the southern half of Xing'an Mountains, Zhao Jiutian couldn't wait to get into the wooden house as soon as he got a little light. He took out the various wines and dishes he had prepared earlier from the space, had a delicious meal and then wrapped himself in a big cloak and lay down to sleep.
Most of the others were like Zhao, either alone or with a few people. After filling their stomachs, they couldn't wait to lie down and rest.
The days are already short in winter, and both groups were recharging their energy. Time passed quickly, and it was already dark before they knew it.
As if there was a tacit understanding, the two groups got up at this time and started cooking without even bothering to wash up. They just waited for the night to get darker and it would be a good time to start.
Soon both groups were full of food and drink, but neither party had the intention to take action yet. The Hu people are waiting for the sky to get darker and the snow to fall heavier, so that they can hide their figures easily. Zhao, like the rest of the group, has almost no intention of acting rashly. Although he doesn't know what the purpose of last night's test was, it is still a good thing to be cautious. After all, there is no second life.
Two hours passed in the hesitation of the two groups. The sky was dark, the moon could not be seen tonight, and the snow was also falling a lot at this time.
Although Lin Yiyan and the others hadn't moved yet, Lin Yiyan's talisman had already been released several times, and they didn't notice any movement, which made Lin Yiyan a little upset.
"The Hu people are keeping their composure, and they haven't made any moves at this time."
"Let's move first. The temptation without knowing the purpose last night will probably happen again." Zhang Chongjing stood up, opened the door and went out. He looked at the sky facing the snowflakes, frowned and said, "It's snowing heavily at this time, I guess." Not bad at all.”
The two people in the room looked at each other, nodded and walked out of the cabin, following Zhang Chongjing.
On the other hand, Chen Ying took a sip of wine, put his sword on his back and walked out the door, stepping on the snow. Although the corpse last night was strange, he didn't take it too seriously. The corpse's grade was too low, and it would have little impact on the fight between the second grade.
Fazhi was the third one to start walking forward. They were a little confused about what happened last night, but none of the three were familiar with controlling corpses, so they simply took it one step at a time.
Zhao was alert. He put on his mask when he went out, climbed up a big tree in a few steps, and moved forward bit by bit. Although Zhao didn't know the purpose of doing this last night, his intuition told him that it was not a good thing. The Hu people would definitely not waste their efforts doing something meaningless. He must have not discovered the trick.
The night was dark and snowflakes were falling. Zhao stood on a dead branch. He couldn't see too far away and could only move forward cautiously.
"Whoa, whoa."
Two hidden weapons flew out of the snow. Zhao didn't move slowly and threw two flying knives at the hidden weapons. Two flying knives and hidden weapons fell into the snow together with two clanging sounds. Zhao looked at the four-cornered darts that fell on the ground, and his expression changed drastically.
"Japanese ninja? The barbarians really take all the garbage home." Zhao was alert and didn't dare to get off the ground. He confronted the ninja in the air.
In the snow, neither of them could feel each other's breath. They could only try their best to hide themselves and not give each other a chance.
On the snowy southwest slope, Chen Ying walked with a sword on his back. After last night, he was much more cautious. Once he felt something wrong with his true energy, he would stop and test it immediately.
He raised his foot and was about to step down, but his heart was alarmed. Chen Ying paused and took a few steps back. After he stabilized his body and looked up, he saw an iron arrow stuck in the place where he had just been.
Chen Ying's face changed, his brows were furrowed, and he hurriedly untied the long sword behind him and held it in his hand. He looked around, not daring to miss anything.
"Swish."
An iron arrow flew out of the darkness. Chen Ying quickly blocked it with his long sword, changed the direction of the iron arrow, and narrowly avoided the iron sword.
"It's just a trifle, come out!" Chen Ying drew out his sword, and the sword energy shook away the snowflakes in the sky. He stood with the sword in his hand, alert to the surroundings.
"Step, step, step..."
In the darkness, Yelu Qingquan walked out step by step, pointing the iron spear at Chen Ying, smiling like a hunter looking at prey.
"Today is the day you die!"
