Chapter 424: Strange arrival and mysterious disappearance

Chapter 424: Strange arrival and mysterious disappearance

At this time, not only the people in Wuliang Mountain, but also many people including Tianyi Pavilion of Canglong Temple were confused.

Because they never expected that Yin Jiaxiong would do this.

Only He Nandou gave Zhao Ya a thumbs up again as if he had expected it.

The meaning is obvious, it is to praise Zhao Ya's skill.

Zhao Ya just smiled slightly at this.

In fact, what he just said was not just to win over people's hearts, but he really felt that it would be a pity if Yin Jiaxiong died like this.

The key is that this person is not inherently bad, he just thinks too highly of himself and is arrogant.

And after this battle, I believe he will also deeply understand the truth that there are people outside the world and there is heaven outside.

And once such a person surrenders, it will definitely become a big help.

as expected.

While the elders and disciples of Wuliang Mountain were preparing, Yin Jiaxiong rushed to the team, and then gave Zhao Ya a fist with a sincere look on his face.

"What Temple Master Zhao just said was as enlightening as Hong Zhongdalu's, and it also made me wake up."

"I did something wrong before, so I won't say anything more. I'll see you on the battlefield."

Yin Jiaxiong's character is just like the swordsmanship he practices, straight and straight, without so many twists and turns.

For him, losing means losing, not to mention that he defeated him openly in front of so many people.

And after defeating him, he didn't kill him, but let him go.

This naturally makes Yin Jiaxiong feel ashamed.

He even had the idea of ​​simply selling his life to Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya didn't say much to this, just nodded slightly, then turned around and went about his own business.

At the same time, He Nandou came up and said with a smile.

"Master Yinshan, long time no see."

Yin Jiaxiong glanced at He Nandou. They were both masters of the sect, so of course they knew each other.

If it had been in the past, with Yin Jiaxiong's arrogant character, he might not have paid any attention to He Nandou.

But now, under Zhao Ya's blow, he has restrained himself a lot.

Especially since I just joined, I naturally have to keep a low profile.

Therefore, he nodded and smiled: "Master He, it's been a long time indeed."

"Haha, from now on we will be comrades in the trenches. We must get closer and closer if we have the chance."

"That's natural."

While the two were chatting, the disciples from Wuliang Mountain finally packed their bags and joined the team.

"Set off!"

Under Zhao Ya's order, everyone continued to move forward and headed straight to the north.

In the next few days, any sects along the way who did not obey Canglong's orders were all subdued by Zhao Ya with force.

Because of this, the team became larger and larger.

And just when the entire Huawai Land was being stirred up by Zhao Ya, thousands of miles away in the northern snowfield, Kong Xiangdong was also holding his breath and observing the movements in the distance.

The difference is that now he no longer has to go to the hill several miles away.

Relying on the monocular telescope brought by the Jiazong, Kong Xiangdong was still able to observe the movements of the black ship very clearly even in the camp.

After a while, Kong Xiangdong raised his head, let out a sigh of relief, and then shook his head.

"At least nothing has changed compared to yesterday."

Jing Rou and Huang Liang on the side did not show much joy when they heard this, but instead frowned.

"This is not a good sign." Huang Liang said.

"That's right, I've been feeling that the buzz has been getting louder and louder these past few days." Jing Rou also said.

"For the current plan, the only way is to cheer up, make complete preparations, and wait for the arrival of Zhao Ya and the others." Liang Xin'an concluded.

During this period of time, he had been immersed in happiness, especially keeping in mind his promise to Liu Yujiao, and became much more cautious in doing things.

If it had been before, he would have been unable to hold back and ran to the black ship to investigate the situation.

Everyone nodded, then left and returned to their posts.

Liang Xin'an is responsible for the left defense line.

Because the weather is getting colder, patrolling and keeping watch has become a chore.

Fortunately, we had enough supplies to keep out the cold, and with several groups of people taking turns, we could get through it.

Liang Xin'an first walked around the defense line she was responsible for several times, and then returned to the makeshift lounge after making sure there was nothing abnormal.

It was already dark by this time, and many people gathered in the lounge.

These are the people responsible for guarding this line of defense, so they can also be regarded as Liang Xin'an's subordinates.

When they saw him coming in, these people stood up one after another.

"Captain Liang!"

"team leader!"

Liang Xin'an waved her hand, "We are all brothers, sit down quickly."

Only then did people sit down again.

Liang Xin'an chose a place near the stove, planning to rest for a while before going out for inspection.

Someone handed the wine bag, and Liang Xin'an took a few sips, and then habitually took out the sachet and fumbled around carefully.

The conversation in the room gradually became quieter.

Some people even leaned on their chairs and fell asleep.

Liang Xin'an recalled the past events sweetly, wishing she could resolve the matter quickly and then return to the Guan Sect to stay with Liu Yujiao forever.

In fact, even Liang Xinan herself felt strange.

Obviously this Liu Yujiao is not particularly good-looking, but why am I so fascinated by her?

Is it because of her peaceful personality?

Or is it just because of her gentle smile?

After thinking for a long time, Liang Xin'an couldn't figure out the reason, so she could only attribute it to a wonderful fate.

Just as he was thinking wildly, a gust of cool wind came. Liang Xin'an turned around and saw someone hurriedly opened the door and ran out.

Liang Xin'an didn't care either.

Although it's not time to change shifts yet, people have three urgent needs, especially after drinking. It is inevitable to go out to solve personal problems.

He planned to go out for a inspection after a while.

But soon, Liang Xinan vaguely noticed something was wrong.

Because the person who went out just now was delayed for too long.

You must know that this person was not wearing a cotton coat when he went out just now. On such a cold day and at night, staying outside for a long time can easily lead to danger.

Liang Xin'an didn't think much about it, thinking that the man might have drunk a little too much, and the cold wind of winter night made him drunk, so he couldn't find his way back.

So he got up and went outside the house.

The biting cold wind blew in the face, and even Liang Xin'an, who had profound martial arts training, couldn't help but shiver at this moment.

Then he came to the place where patrol guards usually defecate, but the result surprised him.

Because it's so empty here, there's no sign of anyone anywhere.

Liang Xin'an's head trembled, she immediately woke up, and then looked around very quickly.

The result is still nothing.

Liang Xin'an's heart gradually sank.

Because this man was not wearing a cotton coat, one thing was certain, that is, he would never go far.

But just to be on the safe side, Liang Xin'an immediately went to the defense line to check.

as expected.

There is no sign of him here either.

Liang Xin'an also realized the seriousness of the situation at this time.

A big living person suddenly disappeared into the camp. The key was that no one noticed it from the beginning to the end. This was such a terrifying fact.

Liang Xin'an did not hesitate and informed others of the matter immediately.

Soon, everyone including Huang Liang and Jing Rou who were on duty rushed over.

Then everyone gathered around the place where the man disappeared, and their expressions were a little ugly.

Under the illumination of the wind lamp, the footprints on the snow could be clearly seen, but strangely, no signs of struggle could be found.

"Are you sure that person disappeared here?" Huang Liang asked.

Liang Xin'an nodded, "I asked just now. Someone saw him coming out of the house to urinate. As a result, the person disappeared in a very strange way."

Kong Xiangdong also came after hearing the news at this time. He squatted down without saying a word, carefully inspected the marks on the ground, and suddenly spoke.

"Look, there seem to be drag marks here."

After hearing this, everyone came forward to watch.

as expected.

In an inconspicuous corner, there was a thin layer of dragging traces on the snow, but the traces only lasted a few meters before disappearing.

Now everyone couldn't help but become more confused.

Even if there is a sneak attack, the missing person is not a weak woman with no strength, on the contrary, she is very strong.

So how could there be no struggle and resistance?

Secondly, even if he was killed by a sneak attack, where was the body?

You must know that just now, Liang Xin'an had ordered people to search the area thoroughly, but still nothing was found.

A thick layer of haze enveloped everyone's heart.

In fact, the dangers that can be seen on the surface are not the most terrifying. The most terrifying thing is the unknown.

Just like when facing this extremely huge black ship, some people can't bear the inner pressure and are on the verge of collapse.

At this time, Huang Liang said slowly: "This matter must be strictly blocked and no leaks should be leaked to avoid causing unnecessary panic."

Everyone naturally understands this.

Liang Xin'an also responded: "I have warned my brothers before, and they will not talk nonsense."

"Also, from now on, no one can do anything alone, at least three people together." Huang Liang said again.

"clear!"

The turmoil calmed down temporarily, but everyone's heart was heavy.

Because everyone understands that this should be just the beginning.

Just like the weirdness of this black ship.

No one knows what will happen next and what they will face.

All they could do was to be as vigilant as possible and wait for the arrival of Zhao Ya and others.

Kong Xiangdong also returned to the defense line he commanded.

Yang Zhan was already waiting here. He didn't know what happened when someone suddenly came to notify Kong Xiangdong.

But it's probably not a good thing.

Sure enough, without even opening his mouth to ask, Yang Zhan knew that something troublesome must have happened just by looking at Kong Xiangdong's solemn expression.

"How about it?"

"The situation is not good!" Then Kong Xiangdong lowered his voice and told what happened.

As a friend who had known each other for many years, he believed in Yang Zhan's character and knew that he would not talk about such things.

After hearing this, Yang Zhan's expression changed, and then he fell into deep thought.

"Only a shallow drag mark?"

"Yes, the trace only lasted a few meters and then disappeared."

"Could it be...an attack from some kind of raptor?"

Because only raptors can do it without leaving any footprints on the ground, they left the camp with a large living person.

"We have also considered this possibility, but we have two questions."

"First, the place where this person disappeared was very close to the rest room. Liang Xin'an of the Guanzong was resting in the room at that time. If there was a raptor attack, he could not have been unaware of it."

"Secondly, although the disappeared man was not a powerful warrior, he was not weak at all. Even if the attacking raptor was extremely powerful, it would not have allowed him to be taken away without any struggle. You must know that at that time We didn't find any blood on the ground."

Yang Zhan also frowned when he heard this, "This is really unexplainable, but if it's not a raptor, what could make a living person disappear mysteriously?"

"I don't know, but now that things have happened, the only thing we can do is to be more careful and inform all brothers that from now on, at least three people must work together to do anything. Even if you go to pee, you have to give me three people. Together."

Yang Zhan nodded, and then went down to inform.

But no one expected that the second disappearance case would come so quickly.

And this time it happened on the line of defense that Kong Xiangdong was responsible for.

The missing ones are four people, a patrol team.

When everyone arrived after hearing the news, Kong Xiangdong's face was ashen and he was looking down at the long drag marks on the ground.

The difference between this time and last time is that the drag marks are much longer.

But other than that, there's still no sign of struggle.

"Four strong men, including one who is a disciple of the Guanzong Sect, are holding the latest crossbow firearms in their hands. As a result, they did not fire a single shot. They were patrolling just now and disappeared in the blink of an eye. It’s gone. What kind of existence did this happen to you?” Kong Xiangdong asked.

No one responded.

Everyone's expressions were extremely ugly.

If the initial disappearance was just a fear of the unknown, now it is almost terrifying.

Because except for the legendary ghostly and ghostly things, who can do this silently?

The Guizong and others, who were originally confident that they would be able to show off their talents this time, also felt a little powerless at this time.

Because they suddenly discovered that the strange opponent they faced this time was far beyond what simple bows and cannons could handle.

"Let's pass on the news. It's useless to try to hide it at this time. It's better to let everyone be vigilant." Huang Liang said slowly.

"Also, let everyone hang up all the lighting objects immediately, so that there are no blind spots in the entire camp." Liang Xin'an suddenly said at this time.

Sorry for the late update today!
