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

patrol?

"Could it be that……"

The two looked at each other silently.

Big one is coming?!

Thinking of this, Tieguo quietly called Wu Yong back from the front of the team.

"I'll lead the way next."

"Just follow me and tell me how to go."

If there really is a main force of demons nearby, this NPC cannot continue to lead the way.

This is not only to reduce the noise caused by opening the road, but also to prevent a high-level demon from suddenly jumping out and directly killing the NPC.

Then something big could happen.

"Ok."

Wu Yong nodded immediately.

He didn't even ask why, and simply retreated behind the iron pot.

Behind him was the old man, and behind the old man was the broken meat dumpling.

"There might be danger nearby. Be smart and don't make any noise. If you encounter danger, find a safe place to hide."

In order to prevent accidents, Tieguo gave the two NPCs another serious warning.

After seeing the two men nod immediately, he picked up his sword and led the team forward.

According to the old man’s brief description just now, Banxi Village is actually a village built on the mountain.

They are different from the plains. The houses in the village are scattered all over the mountains, but they are roughly centered around a central point.

There is a small stream flowing from north to south in the middle of the village. The name of the stream is Banxi. It is a tributary of Yunshan River and the main source of water for the villagers.

In this situation, normal people entering the village would take the pre-developed mountain roads, and most of the patrolling demons would gather nearby.

This also created some space for the four people who tried to find a different way.

"call!!"

A flash of flame melted a low-level demon into charcoal, and the first house in Banxi Village finally appeared in front of the four people.

"Yes! This is Uncle Wang's house at the entrance of the village!" Wu Yong shouted softly behind Tieguo, his face obviously excited, and his feet subconsciously wanted to walk there.

"and many more."

Tieguo immediately grabbed Wu Yong's shoulder and stared at the other side of the village.

"There's someone over there."

Chapter 412: Could it be friendly forces?

"Be quiet!"

Tieguo immediately whispered in Wu Yong's ear.

The boy also stopped instantly, then lay down on the spot, hiding his body completely in the dense weeds.

Tieguo gave Rouzong a look and silently prepared the sword in his hand.

Friends who often explore the wild know that things that look like humans are not necessarily humans, they may also be demons in human form.

Moreover, because this kind of monster is not easily attacked by humans, its lifespan is generally longer and its level is generally higher.

Generally, when encountering it, players assume that it has the strength of a low-to-mid-level monster or above, and there is a high probability that it is even a high-level monster.

Iron Pot Stew: Did you see that figure emerging from behind the house?

Rice dumplings taste better: huh?

Rice dumplings are more delicious: House? Where is the house?

Iron Pot Stew: ? ? Didn't you see it? It's on the opposite hill, near the top. There are a few saplings next to the house.

Rouzong didn't answer, but looking at her clear eyes and a hint of confusion, Tieguo knew that she still hadn't found it.

Hey.

This is what people who always play FPS are like.

Dynamic vision is at its best, while static vision is almost equivalent to that of a blind person.

Tieguo did not continue to explain, but silently took a screenshot of the zongzi and marked the location of the house with a red marker.

Iron pot stew itself: picture.JPG. Here.

Rice dumplings are more delicious: Oh oh oh, I see.

After Tieguo's thoughtful marking, Rouzong finally found the small wooden house in the woods.

From a distance, the house seemed to have only two rooms, and the yard should be on the opposite side of the four of them, so they could only see a few broken wooden boxes and some wooden barrels lying on the ground in that direction.

The house as a whole is still relatively intact, so it should not have been destroyed by demons.

"This doesn't look like a village that has been swept by demons..." Tieguo murmured softly.

The demon came from thousands of miles away, but in the end it only broke a few wooden boxes and barrels?

"General, Lao Wang was one of the first few families to evacuate." The old man leaned close to Tieguo's ear and whispered very quietly.

"Besides, it's still a kilometer from their home to the village, so the damage here may be relatively small."

The old man knew very well that the northeastern sides of Banxi Village were facing the direction of the demon attack, so they suffered serious damage as soon as the demon army arrived.

Almost all the houses on the outskirts were razed to the ground by the demons. At the same time, the water wheels, farmlands, and livestock sheds were all demolished by the demons. The people hiding inside were caught and taken away, and some livestock were eaten on the spot by the demons.

There……

This is the real hell on earth.

"Oh, I see a figure! You mean the one wearing the camouflage suit?"

Rouzong immediately reached out and patted Tieguo's shoulder.

Iron Pot Stew: It's that figure, but it's not necessarily a ghillie suit, it could be some kind of demon, but its skin is the same color as the woods.

Just as Rouzong and Tieguo were discussing the identity of the figure, the figure had already rushed out from the back of the house, and then in just one or two seconds, 'he' disappeared from their sight.

"Wait here for a while, I'll follow and take a look."

Tieguo immediately turned around and spoke to the three people behind him.

After observing for a while, he felt more and more that the figure was not a demon.

Because that sneaky look is exactly the same as theirs.

……

"There are no survivors in this house..."

Chen Qi squatted between several bushes, then carefully checked his camouflage suit. After making sure that it was not damaged, he carefully pulled aside a few branches in front of him and continued to explore the surrounding environment.

He was a Yunhe Army officer directly under the command of a captain.

Because his strength had reached the late Yellow Rank and he was only one step away from the Profound Rank, and he also awakened the rare Wind Attribute, so he was sent by the captain of the western fortress to find the specific location of the western demon army.

After several days of exploration, he finally locked onto the area where Banxi Village was located.

"Didn't they say they sent a few men from the east fortress? Why haven't they been seen yet?"

When Chen Qi thought of this, his eyes became more vigilant.

"Has he not discovered this place yet, or... has he been killed?"

Before leaving, he specifically confirmed the situation with Chu Tianming at the east fortress.

The people sent over there were only at the early Yellow Rank level at most, and they didn't carry any communicators or locators, so the information they could gather was very limited.

But he was different. The captain specially gave him an expensive locator so that he could always keep an eye on his location.

In this way, even if he met with an accident, the captain far away in the fortress would be able to know the location where he was killed, and then deduce the location of the demon army on the west side.

"Maybe it's just ahead..."

"call!"

A whistling sound of wind suddenly rang in his ears.

Chen Qi was shocked, but without any hesitation, he rolled into the bushes, trying his best to restrain his breath, drew out his weapon, and finally glanced at the attacking thing with his peripheral vision.

Ok?

A stone? ?

Then he immediately turned around and looked in the direction where the stone came from.

There was no attacker there, but instead a suit of blue and white armor was hanging on a tree over there.

That is……

The standard armor of the Yunhe Army?

And it is the armor worn by the generals.

Then he thought about the direction from which the stone just hit him, which was about one meter away from his body.

A guess suddenly popped up in Chen Qi's mind.

"Could it be friendly forces?"

Then he immediately shook his head.

'Don't let your guard down!'

This is also one of the common tricks of demons. They will try to lower human vigilance in various ways so as to better complete sneak attacks.

He began to retreat slowly, while constantly observing his surroundings.

The fact that he has been unable to find any trace of the other party until now means that the other party has at least a cultivation level similar to his, and there is a high probability that he is even a Xuan-level cultivator.

but……

Where did the Xuan-level practitioners come from around here?

Chapter 413 The Strongest of the Four Commanders

"Are you human?"

Before Chen Qi could think about it, a very slight voice came from not far away.

At the same time, Chen Qi immediately frowned.

wrong!

This is not Yun Hejun’s Xuan-level practitioner!

As a member of the Yunhe Army who was just one step away from the Xuan level, Chen Qi was naturally tested by the top leaders of the Yunhe Army.

The way to test this is to have him rotate in various places in the Yunhe Army for several years.

This also allowed him to recognize almost all the Xuan-level practitioners in the Yunhe Army.

The voice in the distance sounded very young, no more than 35 years old.

There are only three Xuan-level practitioners under the age of 35 in the Yunhe Army: Li Mu, Qin Tan, and Wang Shouyang.

The former is a female, and the latter two cannot possibly appear here!

It really is a demon!

Thinking of this, the standard long sword in Chen Qi's hand gradually began to emit a light green halo.

No matter whether it is a low-level late-stage demon or a high-level demon, he must seize the opportunity to strike with the first blow!

Even if I die, I will make the other party suffer a loss!

"I'm from the Yunshan River gathering place. We're under the orders of the Yunhe Army and are searching for survivors nearby. We've already rescued dozens of people."

"If you need help, we can take you back to Yunhe Town. If you don't need help, I will leave on my own in five minutes."
