Chapter 232: Confusion

"This, this, this, how dare we." The man said with a look of fear. This man was not a patrol sentry, but the feudal lord of a nearby village, and this area happened to be within the patrol range of their village's sentry, and

He heard from his subordinates that several young people in unusual clothes were walking towards the mountains and forests, so he immediately rushed out of the village and stopped a few of them.

Although he didn't know the origins of the young people in front of him, he could make a rough guess based on their clothes, which was enough to deduce that these young people had extraordinary origins. I'm afraid that a casual sentence could deprive him of this little thing.

The title of a minor feudal lord.

But the more extraordinary the people are, the more he has to stop them, because once these young people enter the mountains and forests for any good, then the forces behind these young people will blame them, and it will not be as simple as depriving them of their titles.

Something had happened, and it might even cost him his life. Therefore, he had just come to stop it under such great pressure. Otherwise, he would have been full and exhausted, making him feel uncomfortable.

"Why bother with him? We can just go in." A young man on the side stepped forward and said. This man was dressed in commoner clothes and behaved generously. Although he concealed it, his identity must be high.

"Young Master is right." The young man who was arguing with the feudal lord nodded quickly and said, then he pushed the feudal lord away with one hand. Although this young man was young, his strength was very impressive, even if the feudal lord was in his prime.

, but he was still thrown to the ground, "Young master will not argue with you today, but it is because your heart is kind. You should leave quickly and don't disturb the master again."

"Hey, hey." The feudal lord responded quickly. Although he wanted to stop it, he couldn't stop it at all. Looking at this young man and the people behind him, I'm afraid that all the sentries responsible for guarding them are no match.

It would be unpleasant, so it would be better to nod in agreement here, and then wait until you get home to quickly pack your things and run away. It will be much faster, and then command the sentry to move out of the way.

"Master, please come this way." The young man quickly stepped forward to lead the way, and the group followed the man toward the mountain forest.

"Sir, we just let them in, what if something happens?" After these people left, a sentry came forward and asked quietly.

"Go away, you think I don't know." The feudal lord said angrily, "Stop standing guard here, go home and pack up and run away." With that said, the feudal lord rushed towards his village without looking back.

. He is a businessman himself, and he finally saved enough money to buy a title. Although the place is a bit out of the way, relying on the abundant timber in the mountains and forests, his daily income is also quite high. He originally wanted to enjoy his old age here, but instead

Such a bad thing happened.

Seeing this, the other sentries looked at each other. They didn't care about standing guard here, and hurriedly followed them to the village. Even their feudal lord was about to run away. How could they still be there? So they hurriedly ran away.

Bar.

Although these things happened relatively suddenly, they all fell into Zhou Wutian's eyes. Zhou Wutian originally thought of many ways to bypass the sentry, but he didn't expect that they would no longer be used so quickly. After observing

When nothing else happened, Zhou Yutian slipped in from the deserted sentry position without attracting the slightest attention.

After entering the forest, it didn't take long to see the few people who had just entered. However, Zhou Wutian was hidden relatively concealed, so he was not discovered. And the perception of those people could not detect Zhou Wutian hiding here, because these few people were hiding in the forest.

The strongest among people is only at the fifth level of Kaiyang, and Zhou Yutian's ability has not been discovered at all.

However, this also made Zhou Yutian feel a little strange, because according to what Hu Yu said, the strongest among the nearby towns were only at the early stage of Kaiyang, while someone like him in the middle stage of Kaiyang could establish a party even in the imperial city.

He has become powerful, but now suddenly two cultivators from the fifth level of Kaiyang and one from the first level of Kaiyang have come here. Is it really to hunt for treasures?

If the treasures here were really worth fighting for, they would have been swarmed by all forces long ago. Why has there been no movement for such a long time, leaving people like them to hunt for treasures?

"Brother Yang, do you think there is any treasure here? Let's not come here in vain." A woman from the group of young men and women in front asked.

"There should be." The person called Brother Yang said with some uncertainty, "There was a lot of movement here some time ago. Even if there is no treasure, there must be something inside." Although he was a little skeptical, he didn't want to.

This trip was for nothing, so there was an element of self-comfort in it.

"Master, there is nothing abnormal ahead. We can move forward." While these people were talking, a man came back from the forest in front and reported.

"Well, since there is no problem, let's move on." The young man said, directing the people in front to lead the way forward.

"Young Master, there is no need to worry. There is nothing dangerous here at all." The person who had argued with the sentry before said, "This place is nothing more than the close proximity to Fangshan, and the impact of some things from Fangshan scattered here, that's all.

Things like this happen several times a year in the villages near Fangshan. At first, people were a little concerned about it, but then they saw it more often and ignored it."

"That's not it. I heard that many woodcutters disappeared into the mountains and forests. Even the men and horses sent by your mountain city were killed here." One of the people on the fifth floor of Kaiyang said.

"Those are very common things. Every year, tens of thousands of people go missing in Shancheng alone. Although this is also within the scope of Shancheng, it is also within the scope of Fangshan. Basically, the villages in this area are

Built in the mountains and forests, except for a few small roads connected to the outside world, it is basically

There are mountains and forests on all sides, and there are many dangers in the mountains and forests, including traces of wild beasts. Even those in the Qi Refining Realm may not be able to defeat some of the wild beasts affected by Fangshan, let alone these ordinary beasts.

There are many villagers in the village, so disappearances are a common occurrence," the young man said.

"But this time I heard that many missing people were suddenly found again, and they were alive when they were found, but died within a few days." The man continued.

"Those are all caused by inexperienced people passing it around. In such a large mountain forest, it is normal for someone to go missing and find it after a long time. If something strange happens when you find it, just

There is no need to take these outrageous things seriously, we'd better hurry up, because if it's night, those beasts will be in trouble," the young man continued.

Hearing this, the person who asked the question couldn't help but frowned. Although there were some explanations for these things, there was no evidence to prove that these explanations were effective, and it was difficult to tell whether the things were true or false.

"How?" The man called Brother Yang did not go forward directly, but asked the opinion of the person who asked the question.

"The information is unreliable. It would be too dangerous to enter rashly." The man said.

"The danger has to go. The situation in the imperial city has been divided. There is a high possibility of taking action at the end of the year. At this critical moment, if I don't do something, I'm afraid it will be too disadvantageous when I compete for the throne in the future."

The man named Yang Ge said.

"Well, time waits for no one. Let's be careful and we should be fine." The man nodded and said.

The few people agreed and carefully headed deeper into the mountain forest.

After these people entered the mountain forest, Zhou Yutian, who was hiding in the dark, carefully followed quietly from one side. Compared to these people, Zhou Yutian's understanding of this place only relied on the description of the feudal lord, so

The information obtained is also unreliable, and now that these people are willing to open the way ahead, Zhou Yutian is naturally extremely happy.

Following the mountain, a group of people shuttled between the mountains and forests. At the front were the two people from nearby towns, followed by Brother Yang and the woman. The two guards followed closely at the end, looking around at the surrounding situation.

At the same time, he carefully protected the two people in the middle.

These people walked and stopped in the mountains and forests, stopping to explore the road every step of the way. They did not care about the consumption of time and put safety as their top priority. This surprised Zhou Wutian somewhat.

Because during their conversation, Zhou Yutian vaguely judged that one of the two people in the front was Xu Meng, the third son of the lord of the mountain city, the other was Wang Da, who was Xu Meng's bodyguard, and the two people in the middle, one was named

Hu Yang is a member of the Fang royal family, the fourth son of Prince Xun, and the other daughter

My name is Qin Meng, she is the eldest daughter of the Qin family in the imperial city, and she is also Hu Yang’s fiancée. As for the two people behind, they should be two guards, but these two people only speak when the surrounding situation is complicated. Most of them

Time is silent, so no effective information can be obtained.

Listening to the conversation of these people, it seems that they are here to hunt for treasure, but there are some hidden things in their words, and it is difficult to distinguish their true purpose.

Although the people in front were together, it was obvious that these four people who seemed to be from the Imperial City did not regard the two as their own, but only as two guides, and did not tell them many things.

Several people continued to walk towards the mountain forest, and Zhou Wutian also followed quietly without being discovered at all.

However, because it was too relaxed, it made people feel that something was wrong. In fact, except for the two people in the local town, everyone else was very vigilant and did not relax at all, especially the two Kaiyang Wu

The guards on the first floor became more and more vigilant as they went deeper and deeper, and the surrounding environment became safer and safer. Zhou Yutian was somewhat interested in this.

Because in this long-term safe environment, many people will inexplicably relax because of comfort, and their vigilance will also become worse, and this is the most dangerous time.

This feeling is like when you are in a lottery, you always think that the next person will definitely win, but in fact, it is not. Until you feel discouraged, you suddenly feel calm, think in your heart that it doesn't matter, and have already thought about it, but it happens that the next person wins.

When I won the award, I felt so miserable.

However, in fact, except for the people in the two towns, the other four people were all cautious, and as they went deeper and deeper, the two guards became more and more vigilant. Based on this, we can judge these two people

Even if they don't experience the battlefield often, they are definitely well-trained.

When he was in the Zhou Kingdom, Zhou Yutian had learned about the imperial guards. The imperial guards of the Zhou Kingdom wanted to have no slack at all throughout the day. This kind of slackness was not the kind of thing that might be dangerous. Increase vigilance to deal with it.

Risks during the relaxation period, for example, the view is better during the day than at night. It stands to reason that the vigilance should be higher at night, but the palace guards of Zhou State must maintain the highest vigilance state regardless of day or night, and achieve the best state of vigilance as much as possible

, this is the standard for the guards of the Zhou Kingdom's palace.

The two people in front of them have obviously been trained in this area. Although they are not as powerful as the guards of the Zhou Palace, they are definitely much stronger than ordinary practitioners.

Therefore, Zhou Yutian, who was following behind, had to be more careful than usual, and at the same time, he also increased his vigilance, because it was too safe here, and it was so safe that it made people feel uncomfortable.

From time to time, you will encounter some wild beasts wandering outside, and although this place is

The mountain forest is actually connected with Fangshan. However, the forest in this area is relatively lush and the terrain is relatively high. Generally speaking, it is still considered a part of Fangshan. Villages like these that exist on the edge of Fangshan will be surrounded by villages from time to time.

There are wild beasts appearing, but there are no traces of wild beasts in this mountain forest. It is really strange.

"No, I actually got caught." Zhou Yutian's heart suddenly moved, and then he frowned and looked around. According to their traveling speed, they should have walked out of the forest, because according to Zhou Yutian's

get

Judging from the intelligence, this mountain forest is not very big, and even if the intelligence is problematic, after walking such a long way, logically speaking, I am afraid that I have walked into Fangshan, but now it seems that I am still in the mountains and forests.

, this is obviously problematic.

According to Zhou Wutian's guess, he may have fallen into a maze now. Before, Zhou Wutian had been carefully following the people in front of him. On the one hand, he was wary of being discovered, and on the other hand, he tried to get as close as possible to learn more.

Intelligence, as a result, my attention was too distracted, and I was trapped in this maze.

"Hmph!" With Zhou Wutian's disdainful snort, the influence of the maze on Zhou Yutian also disappeared. A maze like this before Zhou Yutian was injured would not have any impact on Zhou Yutian at all, because the levels of these mazes are all different.

too low

, even without the protection of the power of consciousness, it cannot affect the soul. However, after being torn apart by the void storm, the soul is weak, and the power of consciousness is extremely weak and weak. It is difficult to even protect the soul, let alone resist the maze.

But fortunately, the foundation of Yuan Shen is there. Even if you are trapped by the maze, you can easily break away from the control of the maze with a little attention.
