Chapter 83 Kaifeng Weird Things

Zhan Zhao left marks along the way, and the officers and soldiers were already on their way. This village was hidden deep in the mountains, and the road up was winding. Only people who were familiar with the place could find the right road. If others wanted to follow, they would have to have his excellent lightness skills.

The couple had obviously trained their hearing, and any slight noise in the forest would attract their attention. They were very cautious and would not move forward until they figured out where the noise was coming from.

Zhan Zhao was hiding in the branches. He had deliberately worn a dark green outfit so that he almost blended in with the forest. The couple looked up several times but could not see him.

Following this journey, Zhan Zhao became more and more frightened.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he deliberately changed a few marks. This was what he and Bai Yuting had explained to Lord Han before they set off.

The officers and soldiers following behind would hide in secret locations on the mountainside according to the special marks he left behind, and when he released the signal flare, they would rush up as quickly as possible.

There are about three hundred people in the village, two-thirds of whom are strong and muscular.

This is not normal.

Where did the old man go?

Zhan Zhao had been gazing from the tree for a few hours, and had seen a dozen or so old men in total. Each of them walked with the gait of a dragon or a tiger, and looked more capable of fighting than some of the dandy young men.

Zhan Nanxia closed his eyes, then heaved a long sigh, feeling a little stuffy in his chest.

This is a thief village. Everyone in the village is a thief. Even the children... are accomplices.

Once you are caught here, without any good martial arts skills or a good brain, the possibility of escaping from here is extremely slim.

No wonder Lord Han couldn't find any clues no matter how hard he tried. The whole village was connected to each other, and they already had a complete kidnapping and trafficking process. After several changes of hands, even if any clues leaked out, they would be cut off halfway.

And the drug...

It is not ordinary, it must be prepared by a special person. It is not difficult to find the person who can make this medicine, but it is not easy to find either.

I have to trouble Brother Bai to make another trip.

Zhan Zhao touched the medicine bag in his arms. This was given to him by Bai Yutang before he set out. It was also a drug that could induce unconsciousness, and its effectiveness was better than those used by thieves.

The Fifth Master said, "Extraordinary events require extraordinary measures. How can you talk about being aboveboard with a bunch of kidnappers who deserve to be killed? Listen to me. When night falls, you quietly sprinkle this medicine into the well. Make sure that no one will be able to get up in the middle of the night!"

Zhan Zhao traveled the world, and although he had good intentions, he was not a fool. This method was very good. When he took the medicine bag, he thought of what to do.

The two of them thought of the same thing.

People who practice martial arts have excellent eyesight, and Zhan Zhao is the best among them. Bai Yutang often teases him that he is the reincarnation of a cat demon.

He hid in the treetops, squinting his eyes and looking at the village. After several inspections, he finally found a locked well next to a thatched cottage.

There should be only this one well in the village, so people were very cautious. The same people came to fetch water each time. The woman in the lead had a bunch of keys hanging around her waist, and one of the keys was the key to the well.

As for the remaining keys...

Zhan Zhao observed for a while. When dusk came, everyone in the village had finished their dinner. The women in charge of cooking packed up some simple meals and carried them to the cellar.

The cellar entrance was also locked.

Those keys unlock the cellar entrance and the inner cells.

Several possibilities flashed through Zhan Zhao's mind, but in the end, his eyes were still focused on the well.

With Bai Yuting's kung fu, it doesn't matter whether the cell in the cellar is locked or not, only the entrance is a little more difficult.

Don't worry, after he has put the medicine in, he will go and pry open the lock of the cellar entrance. After the people in the village confirm the Chinese medicine, he will send out a signal bomb, and with the cooperation of the inside and outside, he will definitely be able to catch these thieves and bring them to justice.

However, things in the world are unpredictable. As the old saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes.

…

When the last ray of sunset light disappeared on the horizon, Zhan Zhao, who had been patiently squatting on the tree for a whole day, finally stood up slowly, holding on to the tree trunk. Just as he was about to tiptoe and silently leap into the village——

A pressure like a mountain falling down from the sky!

In an instant, Zhan Zhao felt that his internal organs were about to be squeezed into a ball by this pressure. He groaned and sank his five fingers into the tree trunk in time, so as not to fall from the top of the tree.

Zhan Zhao took a few quick breaths, and before he could look up, he saw a sea of ​​red.

A meteor fell straight down from the sky!

Flames flew, roars sounded, countless animals in the forest screamed in fear, the temperature was so terribly hot that it almost ignited the cool air!

That's exactly the thieves' village right below!

Zhan Zhao was so frightened that he nearly lost his soul.

Oh no! Bai Yutang is still there!

But how could he save people in time? He fell for a moment, and before he could even squeeze out the sound that was about to come out of his mouth, the star wrapped in flames had already smashed into the ground with a mighty force that swallowed up the sky and the earth.

Instantly, the impact force of the formation, which was so strong that human power could not resist it at all, spread out in all directions like ripples in the water, and the sudden roar in my mind drowned out everything. The ground cracked, dirt and rocks flew, and the towering trees trembled and were almost broken!

The blood in his chest was boiling, and Zhan Zhao had no choice but to close his eyes tightly. Even if he managed to open his eyes a little, he couldn't see anything clearly.

He could only rely on instinct and experience to pull out the huge sword at the critical moment and pierce the trunk, thereby clinging firmly to the tree.

Once he is blown away, he will lose half his life if he doesn't die!

The strong wind kept tearing and the sound of breaking in the forest was endless. Even without opening his eyes, Zhan Zhao could imagine what the scene around him was like.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s a doomsday scene!

How could...how could a meteor fall?

Even though God has eyes, Bai Yuting is still there!

he……

With such a mighty momentum, Bai Yutang...

Zhan Zhao's mouth felt bitter, but he gritted his teeth and endured it. He could only hope that the cellar dug by these thieves was deep and solid enough. Otherwise, otherwise...how could he face his brothers in Bai Yutang!

The impact that seemed to destroy heaven and earth did not last long. A few dozen breaths seemed as long as half a lifetime. Zhan Zhao opened his eyes with slightly red eyes, and his five fingers gripping the hilt of the giant sword were clenched until they turned white.

But when he opened his eyes and saw the village facing the place where the meteor fell, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, like a pair of cat's eyes, full of shock.

——A flower bloomed on the earth.

A flower outlined by blazing flames.

It is like the layered appearance of water lilies, or the graceful and magnificent appearance of peonies.

It bloomed passionately, enveloping the entire village. The scorching temperature was clearly real, but the village built entirely of wood was not damaged at all.

Only people in the village.

They were set on fire, with no injuries to their skin, but they were screaming and shouting in agony.

They kept rolling on the ground and scratching at their bodies, trying to put out the flames that were like maggots clinging to their bones, but the flames still burned fiercely and hotly.

The woman with the key hanging around her waist crawled and opened the lock of the well. The people who came over squeezed her aside and quickly drew water from the well, screaming and splashing water on themselves.

However, it’s no use, it’s no use!

Their actions seemed to fan the flames, causing them to burn even more vigorously.

“Ahhhhhhhh!!!”

These people uttered inhuman screams, convulsed all over, and fell to the ground like a pool of rotten mud.

And their bodies, except for the wounds they inflicted themselves... were completely intact.

Zhan Zhao's throat dried up after seeing this miraculous scene. He instinctively felt awe, not only for the unusual flame, but also for the existence behind the flame.

He felt his soul trembling.

It was as if an eye had opened in the blazing flames, looking down at the group of mortals struggling in the fire, observing and judging them ruthlessly and indifferently, and then it turned its gaze to the people outside the flames...

Zhan Zhao saw a woman.

A woman dressed in black.

She stood in the fire, watching the person who was set on fire struggle and scream before falling down in front of her, without a trace of emotion on her beautiful face.

Her eyes were cold and merciless, just like the flame.

She was the only person within sight who was not burned by the flames.

——She looked at him.

Zhan Zhao saw a pair of deep red eyes, hotter than flames and more brilliant than the sun.

It is fire, it is sun, it is flowing gold and solidified molten lava.

——She is the master of fire!

She looked at him, her red lips slightly parted.

Even at such a great distance, Zhan Zhao could clearly hear a sound like the sound of jade and gold ringing in his head:

"Hi, Kitty!"

Little, little kitty?

Zhan Nanxia's ears turned completely red.

As if she had not expected him to be so thin-skinned, the woman in black was slightly stunned, then she looked up and laughed, and the layers of flames stretching towards the sky were shaking.

Zhan Zhao touched his burning ears and took in the scene. Sure enough, this woman was the owner of the flames.

Is it an illusion?

Or...

Really?

The screams gradually stopped, and Zhan Zhao jumped down from the tree. Just as his toes landed on the wooden wall of the village, he heard a crisp sound of fingers snapping.

Whoosh!

All the fires went out instantly, as if they had never existed.

Zhan Zhao staggered, tapped the wooden wall with his fingers, and then he stood firm again.

If the forest behind him had not been completely destroyed, if the thieves had not been lying on the ground, if the woman in black who had teased him had not been still standing in front of him, he would really have thought that the fire that had just burst into the sky like a flower was some kind of grand illusion.

As we got closer, we looked at the woman again and found that her clothes were very strange. They were neither Central Plains clothes nor Western clothes.

The woman put her hands in her pockets, looking relaxed. She raised her chin slightly, looked at Zhan Zhao, who was half shocked and half alert, and nodded: "Go and save them, they are all fine."

After saying that, she stretched out her hand casually.

With a click, the large lock on the cellar entrance broke in two.

Hearing that everyone in the cellar was fine, Zhan Zhao finally let out a sigh of relief.

He was tense to the extreme, and at this moment he suddenly relaxed. He only felt dizzy and his vision was blurry.

Great, Brother Bai is fine...

The woman had a smile on her lips, and her deep red eyes looked at him intently, as if she was looking at him, and as if she could see through this skin and see the soul inside.

Boom!

There was a noise from the cellar.

Zhan Zhao turned his head abruptly, and as his vision gradually regained clarity, a familiar head emerged.

It’s Bai Yutang.

His head was covered in dust and he looked shaggy, but otherwise he was unharmed.

Bai Yutang jumped out of the cellar first and saw Zhan Zhao squatting on the wooden wall. His eyes lit up and he waved to him: "Cat! Come and give me a hand!"

It was extremely thrilling just now, like a dragon turning over in the earth. He even thought that he would die here today.

Who knew that it was just a violent tremor, and no one in the cellar was injured except for being covered in dust.

Bai Yutang walked over, picked up the boy and slapped him several times, waking him up. After explaining his identity in a few words, he turned around and stepped forward, kicked open the cell door, and called the boy to help him save people.

Just as he kicked the prison door open, he heard screams from above his head, which frightened Bai Yutang so much that his hands trembled as he tried to save him.

The screams were so loud that he first ruled out the possibility that the cat had done it.

Could it be that the wronged ghost has come to claim his life?

The Fifth Master was complaining in his heart, but his hands were still working. Just as he put everyone at the entrance of the cellar, he heard the sound of an iron lock breaking above his head.

What a coincidence?

Bai Yuting reached out and took off the hairpin on his head, put one hand behind his back, climbed up the ladder, and when he came out, he saw Zhan Zhao squatting on the wooden wall.

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that Zhan Zhao's expression looked a little strange, and his eyes were looking to the other side.

The Fifth Master followed his gaze and his pupils shrank in shock.

Less than four steps away from him, a woman dressed in black stood there with her hands folded, looking at him with a playful look.

Such a close distance...

Bai Yuting's breath hitched, and he subconsciously took out the hairpin that could be used as a dagger after it was turned on. The vigilance and surprise in his eyes were no less than Zhan Zhao's.

He couldn't hear her breathing or heartbeat!
