Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

Because Captain Zhao had planned a new patrol route, he followed his routine and took a few soldiers to walk the patrol route first.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he can also contact Blackbird and get the results of this operation.

Originally, according to the person in the city, they should bring Chihong directly back to the demon-occupied area, and not launch a second raid on the gathering place in the valley for the sake of momentary pleasure.

But Ji Ziyi just didn't like this gathering place.

What he thought was that if Li Mu had not left the gathering place, Fang Ming would have been able to escape successfully, and they would have directly gained a high-level combat force.

And if Li Mu went to Fangjia Village, the late yellow-level human alone would not be able to kill Chihong head-on, and they could also take the opportunity to kill the residents of this gathering place.

He thought the plan was perfect, but unexpectedly, the news he received was bad news again.

"It's like this. When we attacked, the leader of that gathering place happened to break through to the Xuan level."

"Furthermore, he has probably been practicing the laws of thunder for a long time. Once he enters the Xuan level, he can immediately draw on the power of heaven and earth."

"Chihong was killed directly by him, and my eyes were buried with him." The black bird explained quickly.

In its view, this is definitely not its responsibility.

From receiving orders to specific execution, everything was done according to Ji Ziyi's requirements.

All I can say is that Chihong was unlucky and ran into someone who just happened to break through to the Xuan level.

"Mid-stage Xuan-level..."

Hearing this, Ji Ziyi's expression gradually became solemn.

You know, a Xuan-level human who can mobilize the power of heaven and earth is not something that an ordinary high-level demon can deal with.

Moreover, the leader of this gathering place also has an armor of unknown origin that can further enhance his strength.

"never mind."

Ji Ziyi shook his head slightly.

They never expected that the valley they had planned for so long would be completely taken advantage of by a group of foreign refugees.

Moreover, these refugees actually had contact with Chu Tianming.

This made it impossible for him to intervene.

"During this time, turn your attention eastward and tell the mad dogs about these people. Just send two more eyes to stay in the valley."

Ji Ziyi finally looked at the little black bird.

"Those mad dogs will naturally give these people trouble, and as long as the passage is still there, I can just spend a little more time to crush these bugs myself."

……

The day after tomorrow. Early morning.

The valley was still filled with hazy mist, and a few drops of fresh dew condensed on the petals of the sweet flowers that could be seen everywhere. When blown by the breeze, they would slowly slide to the ground.

But the southern part of the valley is not quiet today.

Li Mu led the players from the gathering place and walked all the way back from outside Fangjia Village.

However, maybe it was because the noise was too loud, or because they had just walked there once yesterday, so the players didn't catch any prey. Only [Mai Men Yong Cun] caught two rabbits from some corner.

Then, with the seasonings contributed by Oxygen, these two unlucky guys became breakfast for several of them.

Although [Mai Men Yong Cun] himself only ate two bites.

The reason why we didn't return to the gathering place until today was because the people from Yunhe Town who took over Fangjia Village didn't arrive until yesterday afternoon.

The person who came was also an old acquaintance of the gathering place, Qin Tan.

Unfortunately, Tang Yi was not there, so Qin Tan just exchanged a few simple greetings with Yu Shui and Erwuzai before throwing himself into his busy work.

The people who came this time included not only Yun Hejun, but also some technical personnel from Yunhe Town. They were responsible for taking inventory of Fangjia Village's current resources, the subsequent resettlement of villagers, and research in nearby areas.

After all, such a big thing has happened, and there are more important gas stone mines to be developed and collected next. No one is comfortable letting Fangjia Village maintain its autonomy.

So after the handover, time dragged on until yesterday evening.

Considering that most players have to log off at night to go to work or school, everyone decided to stay in Fangjia Village for another night and then set off for home the next day.

After all, with Li Mu and Qin Tan here, even if they all go offline, they are not afraid of being attacked by some strange things.

"Ha~"

Li Mu yawned softly, then shook her head gently, causing the ponytail behind her to sway along with it.

She hadn't slept well in the past few days. The day before, she was worried about another accident, so she stayed up all night with several residents of the gathering place until dawn the next day.

Last night I simply couldn't sleep.

She felt that she didn't know how to face Tang Yi.

I don’t know how to face the promise I made to Tang Yi before I left.

So many soldiers were buried in a foreign land.

Tang Yi and other residents of the gathering place must be very sad.

However, the players always marched very quickly, and because there were fewer people, Li Mu saw the tall watchtower before the sun was completely hanging in the sky.

"Eh?"

She turned to look at Yu Shui who was walking one step behind her, then pointed to the top of the watchtower and asked.

"Didn't this tower have a roof before?"

Chapter 146 Yu Shui's Prediction

"Forehead……"

Yu Shui looked in the direction Li Mu's finger was pointing and was a little confused for a moment.

Yes, this thing had a top before.

So what is the situation now?

Because the distance is too far, the simplified model is displayed?

Or was it because it rained yesterday and he was accidentally struck by lightning?

By the way, when Maomao built the watchtower, didn’t he think of putting a lightning rod on the top?

So unprofessional!

But he didn't have time to think about it.

Soon, they saw the walls of the gathering place, as well as players who had just logged in and were out hunting in groups of three or five with weapons in hand.

Speaking of which, there are indeed endless inferior demons that can be killed.

They had carried out such a high-intensity raid some time ago, and these low-level demons had also organized two attacks on the gathering place.

Normally, the inferior demons near this valley would be extinct for at least a long time.

Unexpectedly, after only two or three days, the players in charge of patrolling discovered traces of many inferior monsters and even killed a few on the patrol route.

This made the combat players who had thought they were going to give up playing suddenly excited.

In addition to these players who set out with great enthusiasm, Li Mu also keenly noticed something unusual.

Although the place had been cleaned and dusted, it had rained a little yesterday, making the air humid, so she still smelled a slight fishy smell in the air.

The smell was very familiar, she had just smelled it not long ago.

It's the smell of war.

Is there a war here too?!

She immediately quickened her pace, and Li Shan, who had been waiting at the South Gate for a long time, also saw Li Mu leading the way.

Well, he looks pretty energetic, so he probably isn't injured.

When they arrived at the gathering place, Li Mu also saw Li Shan and Tang Yi who had just come out of the gathering place to greet her.

"The gathering place was also attacked by demons?"

Li Mu stopped in front of the two of them and asked first.

"Forehead……"

Tang Yi swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and then silently reorganized his words.

"Yes, but there aren't many demons coming. There's only one low-level late-stage fire demon, and two or three hundred inferior demons."

"Just?!"

When Li Mu heard this, his eyes widened.

She remembered that Tang Yi's cultivation was only at the late Yellow Rank.

Even if he wore his armor, he probably wouldn't be able to quickly take out low-level, late-stage demons.

When she left the morning before yesterday, there were only a few people left in the gathering place.

"How's the gathering place? Where's Ke Yu? Is she okay?" Li Mu's tone also became a little hurried.

These are three hundred inferior demons!

If it had not been stopped outside the city in the first place, it would have been enough to cause a devastating blow to a medium to large village.

Not to mention this newly developed small gathering place in front of us!

"Don't panic, the gathering place is fine."

Tang Yi pointed at the earthen wall behind him and the vaguely visible wooden houses inside with a somewhat helpless look.

"Keyu just went out. She and Song Lian went to determine the location of some buildings. She probably won't be back for a while."

"But you've seen those residents, right? If the settlement is severely damaged, they won't have time to go out hunting and gathering."

Upon hearing this, Li Mu immediately turned around to look at some players in the distance, then looked back at the earth wall.

Although there were some traces of fighting on the earth wall, there was basically no serious damage, indicating that the gathering place had indeed kept these demons outside the wall.

"call……"

She was a little concerned and confused.

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and then his speech speed returned to normal, and then he asked:

"What about casualties? You didn't have many troops at the time, how did you hold on?"

Speaking of this, Tang Yi's expression became a little serious.

"Our casualties were not too high. Less than ten soldiers were killed, and the rest were only injured."

Although he didn't feel sad at all when the player died, he still had to pretend in front of the two generals of the Yunhe Army.

"As for stabilizing the defense, it was also thanks to Brother Li's assistance."

"He was really helpful fighting back and forth on the wall."

Hearing this, Li Shan quickly waved his hand and said:

"No, no, no, since I'm stationed here at your gathering place, it's my duty to help defend it. There's no such thing as helping."

"Also, it was because at the critical moment, Brother Tang broke through the Xuan level and killed the low-level demon with the force of thunder that we were able to achieve this great victory."

"Ok?"

After hearing what Li Shan said, Li Mu immediately turned to look at Tang Yi and blinked in surprise.

"The leader has broken through to the Xuan level? What attribute did he achieve? And he was able to instantly kill a low-level late-stage demon. Did he comprehend the laws in advance?"

Seeing Li Mu's series of questions and her curious look, Tang Yi finally made a decision.

No one answered.

"Sima Li, you've been traveling so long. Would you like to eat something and rest for a while?" Tang Yi said with a smile. "As for these questions, we can discuss them in detail when you have some free time after you've rested."

Li Mu blinked.

That's right. Now that she has just returned with the residents of these gathering places, Tang Yi will probably have to count the casualties, distribute compensation, and comfort the families of the fallen...

There is also a lot that needs to be done after the war.

"Then Li Shan and I will go back to the office." Li Mu nodded. "I also need to report the battle situation in Fangjia Village to Chu Tianming."
