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

But before he could get an answer, Ning He's gaze turned to the right again.

The screen representing Chu Tianming did not dim. Chu Tianming was still sitting in front of the screen, looking at Ning He with a smile on his face.

However, after meeting Ning He's gaze, his expression changed instantly and became as serious as before.

"I'm asking you something."

Seeing Chu Tianming's expression, Ning He shook his head slightly, feeling a little relieved, and his tone was not as stiff as before.

"Ji Ziyi and Zhao Kuo, who do you think was possessed?"

"Don't you suspect it's me?" Chu Tianming asked with a blink.

"It's you, I'm glad."

Hearing this, Ning He said unhappily.

"You've just entered the true meaning. I can crush you to death with one hand."

Chu Tianming is the youngest of the three true meaning masters in the northern camp. He is only in his early thirties this year and has grown up under Ning He's nose.

But the reason why Ning He had almost absolute trust in Chu Tianming was because Ning He was by his side when Chu Tianming broke through the true meaning.

The demon that possesses humans can take over their memories, imitate human skills, and imitate human behavior.

But they cannot imitate the fluctuations in laws caused by humans when they break through, especially the fluctuations in laws when they break through the true meaning. That is the gift from the will of this world to the life of this world.

Unless this demon is powerful enough to control the laws of the world, it will never be able to deceive his eyes.

"Tell me seriously, who do you think has a problem?" Ning He asked.

Chu Tianming did not answer immediately. He just looked into Ning He's eyes, paused for a moment, and then said softly:

"You should already have the answer in your mind."

Hearing this, Ning He was stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head slightly.

"Just say what I told you to say. Why are you always doing this nonsense..."

"Brother Ji, Ji Ziyi."

Chu Tianming interrupted Ning He: "Right?"

Ning He paused, but did not answer.

"Just a few months before the demonic attack, Brother Ji's men were in frequent contact with Fangjia Village. Later, his men were also seen in Yangwei Village, including several encirclements and suppressions of Camps No. 1 and No. 2..."

Talking about this, Chu Tianming also began to list the various evidences he had collected.

"Finally, the number of demons in the western fortress this time is simply too abnormal. Their attack over there is far more frantic than ours, even a bit too forceful."

"It's as if they knew the western fortress couldn't do anything about it."

At the end of his speech, Chu Tianming took a breath and subconsciously looked at Ning He.

Ning He finally spoke again: "But what you said also involved Zhao Kuo."

"Fangjia Village is close to our camp. Not to mention Ziyi and Lao Zhao, even your men have had quite a bit of contact with them."

"Then it's Yangwei Village. Lao Zhao is in charge of the western side of the defense line, and Ziyi is in charge of the eastern side. Naturally, his men will have to keep showing up in the villages along the way."

"Including those encirclement and suppression campaigns..."

"But he is involved in too many things." Chu Tianming interrupted Ning He again.

"He was involved in all the incidents that were later discovered to be related to demons. On the contrary, he made mistakes one after another in some of the things he should have been present for and should have taken action on."

"That's not normal, you know?"

"A normal Yunhe Army general would never have such a tendency, you know?!"

"..."

"I know." Ning He finally nodded.

Of course he knew.

He even discovered Ji Ziyi's abnormality earlier than Chu Tianming.

But he was a captain of the Yunhe Army and had been stationed in the northern camp for so many years. They saw each other every day. How could he be suddenly possessed by a demon without any movement?

Moreover, for a long time afterwards, Ji Ziyi did not show any abnormalities. He even killed many high-level demons in the demon-occupied area and made many contributions.

Until recently, this series of events happened.

Demons can always use more advantageous forces, appear in more correct places, and make better decisions.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the Yunshan River gathering place that constantly disrupted the actions of the demons, their current military strength would be at least 30% weaker than it is now.

Although there is no evidence that the demons have obtained intelligence about the various movements of the Yunhe Army.

But with his many years of experience, he could still see that there was definitely a demon hiding within the Yunhe Army.

Moreover, the status is not low.

"Actually, I have some information that I just got two hours ago." Chu Tianming continued when he saw Ning He fell into deep thought.

"The Yunshanhe gathering place had already located the demon army on the east side four hours ago. It's in Banxi Village, less than 200 kilometers from the main camp."

"at the same time……"

Chu Tianming paused, and only continued after making sure that Ning He was listening to him.

"Chen Qi is there too."

"Chen Qi?"

Ning He frowned.

"That Chen Qi who's at the peak of the late Yellow Rank? Wasn't he still at the west fortress a few days ago?"

"That's right." Chu Tianming nodded.

"According to the intelligence from the Yunshan River gathering place, Chen Qi suspected that there were body-stealing demons hiding in the western fortress, so he was sent by Brother Ji... Ji Ziyi to search for the whereabouts of the demon army on the eastern side."

"At the same time, he also gave a locator to Chen Qi and informed the demon of Chen Qi's location."

"Is the information true?" Ning He asked expressionlessly.

"I don't know, but the demon army on the east side is indeed there. Tang Yi showed me the pictures they took." Chu Tianming said.

"..."

Ning He was silent for a few seconds.

"For the time being, Ji Ziyi has been identified as a body-stealing demon. Prepare to activate the Level 1 emergency plan."

Chapter 420: The Penniless Meat Zongzi

The next morning.

A gentle breeze blew along the Yunshan River all the way to the outer city of the trading point, and some refugees who were wearing thin clothes shivered subconsciously.

But they did not stop, but continued to walk into the trading point.

During this period, because all the players went to the two fronts to fight, no one did some simple tasks in the trading point.

However, it is precisely these vacancies in the tasks that allow these refugees to find a job in the trading points and earn some income to make ends meet.

"nia!"

At this time, [Rice Zongzi is More Delicious] brought Wu Yong and Wu Xu back to the trading point from Banxi Village after two days of long journey.

"Finally back!"

After seeing the towering watchtower at the trading point from afar, Rouzong immediately revealed a long-lost smile. Then she turned around and said to the two NPCs:

"Look, that's our trading point."

As the target approached, the three of them quickened their pace.

After the three of them walked out of the woods on the east side of the trading point, a huge settlement appeared in front of Wu Yong and Wu Xu.

"so big……"

Wu Yong stared in a daze at the endless array of houses in front of him, as well as the crisscrossing roads, bustling crowds, and noisy sounds between these houses.

Some 'soldiers' in armor would also run out in groups from farther away.

They walked along the long and wide road from behind the high wall inside the settlement all the way to the outside of the settlement, and then ran east along the road, muttering words like "kill monsters", "where are the demons", and "kill more this time".

Wu Yong was stunned when he heard this.

Are they out hunting...demons?

"Such a powerful gathering place shouldn't be defeated by demons."

This thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

"Let's go. I'll take you into town first. Old Wu and I will go see a doctor. Little Wu can have something to eat in the restaurant and rest for a while."

Rouzong didn't give the two NPCs much time to be amazed. After stretching on the spot, she took the lead and walked towards the east gate of the trading point.

Wu Yong followed immediately. He followed closely behind Rouzong, and at the same time kept turning his head left and right curiously, looking at the scenery on both sides of the road.

There are so many people here...

Is the Yunhe Town that grandpa mentioned bigger than here?

What would it look like?

"Captain Rouzong, how many people are there?"

After walking for a while, Wu Xu, who was following behind the two of them, also caught up and asked.

After all, he had been to Yunhe Town. Even if he was surprised by the prosperity of the trading point at first, he would not be as curious about everything as Wu Yong.

But in his memory, there should not be such a large gathering place to the north of Yunhe Town.

Although this area is not in the Yunshan Mountains, it is less than two hundred kilometers away from the demon-occupied area in the north. Apart from the indigenous people like them, normal people should not build a new gathering place here.

"Here we are? There are more than 10,000 people outside the city."

Rou Zong answered without hesitation, "They are mainly from Juyang Village and Wujia Village. Yunhe Town has asked us to take responsibility for their safety until the demons retreat."

"Oh, so that's it." Wu Xu nodded as if he suddenly understood.

That makes sense then.

"Has that demon ever attacked this place?"

As Wu Xu spoke, he also looked at the surrounding houses.

Although these houses are not very beautiful in appearance, they do not seem to have any signs of war.

Moreover, the various villagers he met along the way did not look like they had experienced war. Most of their eyes showed worry about the future rather than fear and numbness of death.

"Demons? Attacking here?"

Rouzong raised his eyebrows and said with a somewhat disdainful tone.

"That depends on whether they can hit us."

"I should have told Tieguo that the western demon army had tens of thousands of demons, and we directly dispersed them in the demon-occupied area."

"Even the leading half-step great demon was killed by our leader with two sword strikes. Now that they are in our territory, can the remaining demon army on the east side fight their way here?"

"It's good that we didn't kill them all along the way."

There's no way, these two villagers still don't know much about their players.

You know, just after she and Tieguo revealed the location of the demon army on the east side, many players in the demon-occupied area had changed their targets and were preparing to rush back to attack this group of demons.

After all, the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark, it is a good time to launch a sneak attack!

If you don’t take advantage of this opportunity to get more rewards, you will only be able to eat what others have left!

Soon, Rouzong took the two NPCs to the gate of the inner city, and after giving them a simple registration, he took them into the inner city.

Speaking of which, the inner city wall is less than ten meters high, which is of little use in the face of the current intensity of war. It is more of a symbolic significance.

"That's it."

Rouzong walked a little further with the two NPCs, stopped in front of a fork in the road, and pointed to a store not far away and said.

"That's the restaurant. Xiao Wu, go eat something first. As for the money..."
