Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

Zhang Chen walked out of Lu Chuan's room and slowly returned to his own room, his face full of worry. Judging from Lu Chuan's performance, it didn't seem like he was just trying to trick him.

Zhang Chen came to Sima Feng's room and started discussing quietly.

"What we did in Daliang City has been taken seriously by the sect. Lu Chuan just called me in for a talk."

"Has the sect discovered that it was us who did this?"

Sima Feng looked serious, looked at Zhang Chen's serious expression, and then said indignantly:

"Even if he knew, what would happen? That prince has committed many evil deeds and deserves death."

Zhang Chen sighed softly.

"If it's just the sect that's holding us accountable, it wouldn't be a big deal, but I'm afraid some people will resort to trickery in secret."

"Are you talking about Xiao Yi?"

Sima Feng also thought of something.

"It's Xiao Yi and his group."

Zhang Chen added.

Zhang Chen originally wanted to report the matter of the spirit stone mine, which should allow the sect to atone for the sins of the two men. However, Zhang Chen had not verified the authenticity of the spirit stone mine, so he did not dare to report it. Otherwise, wouldn't it indirectly prove that Xiao Ta was killed by the two men? If the spirit stone mine was fake, there would be no way out.

"Then what do we do now?"

Sima Feng asked.

"We can only deny it for now. They can't find any concrete evidence at the moment, so they probably won't attack us openly. Besides, it's wartime now, so they probably don't have the energy to investigate carefully. I'm afraid someone is secretly using some tricks. You and I have to be careful recently, especially don't be alone."

Sima Feng nodded, and Zhang Chen gave him a few more instructions before leaving.

A few days passed like this, and everything was calm, as if nothing had happened. However, Zhang Chen became even more worried, because for the past few days, he could feel as if someone was spying on him from time to time, which had never happened before.

Zhang Chen immediately thought of Lu Chuan. Lu Chuan was in the late stage of foundation building. Zhang Chen had also learned about it recently. As long as one reaches the foundation building stage, he will generate spiritual consciousness, which can be used to detect surrounding objects and manipulate objects.

This is also the reason why the Foundation Establishment Stage can crush the Qi Condensation Stage. It is not just a matter of the amount of spiritual energy.

"If Lu Chuan wants to deal with me, I have no power to resist."

Zhang Chen secretly clenched his fists when he thought of this. Lu Chuan said that he was just tricking him, but the heat and greed in his eyes, although hidden well, were still noticed by Zhang Chen.

"He will definitely take advantage of this insect swarm attack to make me die as a matter of course. I have to think of a way to protect myself."

Zhang Chen seemed to be thinking about something and began to think. Although the Foundation Establishment Stage had more spiritual energy than the Qi Condensation Stage and could use spiritual consciousness to control objects to attack, the physical strength did not increase much. In other words, the Qi Condensation Stage was not without any chance.

Zhang Chen knew that he could only take action from here, so he had no mood to continue practicing. He paid attention to the situation of the insect swarm every day and kept inquiring about the surrounding environment.

Three days passed like this, and one day someone suddenly knocked on Zhang Chen's door. The person handed a jade slip to Zhang Chen and left.

Zhang Chen picked up one of the task jade slips, inputted spiritual energy, and a line of text appeared.

"The communication between Black Rock City and Giant Stone City is interrupted. Go to Giant Stone City immediately to investigate the situation."

Giant Stone City is more than two hundred miles away from Black Stone City. Zhang Chen looked at the jade slip in his hand and fell into deep thought.

At Zhang Chen's speed, the round trip would take at most four hours. However, Zhang Chen felt that this mission came too suddenly. Why was he assigned to this mission?

"Is Lu Chuan planning to attack me?"

When Zhang Chen thought of this, his thoughts started to fly, but now he had no time to think about it, so he could only think while walking.

Zhang Chen came to Sima Feng's residence and told him the news that he was going to Boulder City. At the same time, he asked him to keep an eye on Lu Chuan to see if he followed him out of the city. If so, he should go to Ten Thousand Insect Valley and wait for him quietly.

The Ten Thousand Insect Valley is located between the two cities. This is the information Zhang Chen learned recently. Zhang Chen will pass by that place when he goes to Boulder City.

Then Zhang Chen left the city and walked towards the direction of Boulder City. After walking less than a kilometer, he immediately dived underground and fled towards the west. That direction was not the direction of Boulder City, but the direction of the insect swarm.

Less than ten minutes after Zhang Chen left the city, Lu Chuan also quietly left the city. Looking at the direction Zhang Chen was leaving the city, Lu Chuan smiled faintly, then flew forward on his sword, trying to fly high as much as possible so as not to be discovered by Zhang Chen. At the same time, he was also constantly observing the situation of the official road from Black Stone City to Giant Stone City below.

But after observing for a while, he felt a little strange. He had been flying forward for ten minutes but still hadn't seen Zhang Chen, which made him feel confused.

Lu Chuan flew along the official road all the way to Big Stone City but didn't see Zhang Chen. He was very surprised. Then he realized that Big Stone City had been surrounded by a swarm of insects. Countless flying insects were circling in the air. Lu Chuan quickly changed direction and flew towards Black Stone City.

"He couldn't be faster than me. Didn't he take the official road?"

Lu Chuan thought for a moment and thought of this possibility. The official road is flat, but it is long and winding.

So he took out the map and observed it, and found that there was a place that he had to pass through, Centipede Mountain. He then flew to Centipede Mountain on his sword, landed somewhere on the mountain and hid.

Zhang Chen had just fled forward for less than a mile when he came to the ground and began to walk towards the insect swarm. After walking for a long time, he did not find any trace of the insect swarm, but occasionally he could see flying insects flying towards the direction of Boulder City.

"Is the Zerg already attacking Boulder City?"

Zhang Chen looked at the group of insect beasts flying by from time to time and began to think secretly.

Then he had to change direction and head towards Blackrock City. He originally wanted to investigate the movements of the Zerg, and then deliberately cause a riot among the Zerg so that he could take advantage of the situation and return to Blackrock City. But it seems that this opportunity is gone.

Zhang Chen chose some hidden mountain roads along the way to avoid attracting attention. He was not only afraid of being discovered by the insect swarm, but also afraid of being discovered by Lu Chuan.

Soon Zhang Chen arrived at the Ten Thousand Insects Valley. It was very large and deep, with tall trees all over the valley. The trees blocked the sunlight, so there was no sunlight underground all year round. White miasma would fill the air from time to time.

Zhang Chen looked at the terrain and then came to the place agreed with Sima Feng. He found no one around and was feeling strange when he saw a man coming out from the vines in front of him. He was covered with grass and branches and Zhang Chen did not notice him. After a closer look, he realized who else he was but Sima Feng.

Zhang Chen was just about to speak when he saw Sima Feng put his index finger in front of his lips, silencing him, and then pointed behind him to the place where he had just come out.

Zhang Chen nodded and followed Sima Feng into the vines. After walking for ten minutes, a cave appeared. It was not big, only a few meters deep. There were several holes on the top, blocked by the vines. People from outside could not see inside, but people from inside could see outside. It was really an excellent place for observation.

After seeing Zhang Chen coming in, Sima Feng lowered his voice and spoke:

"Lu Chuan followed you out after you left."

Zhang Chen frowned when he heard this. He didn't expect it to be true, so he looked outside.

"It seems I can't go to Boulder City. He must be waiting for me somewhere along the way."
