He had seen this kind of arrow before; its appearance was exactly the same as the murder weapon that killed Jin Shijie, without the slightest difference.
Although it is not yet clear why Jiang Lie has become like this, it is certain that it is related to this arrow.
The shadow master's gaze was deep, his face cold and his voice deep:
"Go and inform the Alliance that the person who sabotaged the Golden Dome Lockdown Plan has been found."
"Go and bring the Alliance's investigation team here. I want them to start analyzing all possible clues about this arrow immediately."
"I'll go right away."
"Yes, Shadow Master." A subordinate quickly accepted the order and disappeared into the shadows like a ghost in the blink of an eye.
“Then we need to act in advance, otherwise Zhongzhou will think they’ve already won.” The Shadow Master crossed his arms, his eyes revealing a resolute look, as if everything was under his control.
"However, Shadow Master, we don't have enough evidence yet..." Before the subordinate could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Shadow Master's sharp gaze.
"Evidence? In this game, we are the rule-makers."
The shadow master's tone was cold and hard, leaving no room for argument:
"I don't need evidence, I just need results."
......
On their way back to Qingcheng, Li Yu and his companion encountered scattered groups of unfamiliar refugees, including some from the safe zone.
"So many refugees."
Fu Xiyao sensed that the crowd in the distance was somewhat surprised.
Looking from afar, Li Yu could indeed see a large group of people walking together.
These refugees gathered in small groups, clustering together, numbering in the hundreds.
They walked slowly westward together, their steps faltering, as if they had traveled a long distance from other regions.
"So there are still so many refugees surviving in other places," Li Yu said thoughtfully.
“Yes, I thought we were the only ones constantly migrating.” Fu Xiyao’s face showed a hint of emotion.
Li Yu pondered silently in her heart, as if she already had the answer.
If Lu Fan and Wang Tianzhao are right, then everyone is heading west, and they will eventually reach the so-called Central Plains defense line.
Judging from the current situation, it's only a matter of time before the refugees reach the Central Plains defense line; the key is whether they can successfully get through.
I hope Lu Fan's promise is true; my pass really will be useful.
"Let's go." Li Yu ignored the people who had migrated from other places.
Clearly, this disaster has affected all areas, forcing most people to migrate and ultimately leading to everyone being forced to gather in this sea of sand.
Those who did not encounter people from the Central Plains cities during their migration would face relatively greater difficulties.
After all, under the green banner of Zhongzhou, these people will still be given a chance to make a living.
Li Yu thought about it for a long time but still couldn't quite understand why Zhongzhou was helping refugees survive on the road while simultaneously setting up defenses to block their passage.
This is utterly contradictory; it would have been better to just let them fend for themselves from the start.
Fu Xiyao's voice suddenly interrupted Li Yu: "It looks like there are... a lot of corpses ahead."
Based on the information she sensed, it was clear that a small group of refugees had just been attacked.
Although the corpse was still far away from them, Li Yu still cautiously made Xiao Hei stop immediately.
"Are you sure?" Li Yu looked ahead, her bow and arrows already ready in her hands.
Fu Xiyao nodded solemnly and said seriously, "That's right, they are corpses, but these corpses... look a little strange."
"It seems like he died in an instant, and even after death, he retained the posture he was in at the time of death."
"Are there any strange beasts around?" Li Yu asked again.
Fu Xiyao sensed it for a moment and shook her head: "I didn't find anything. The rainwater didn't change, and there was nothing strange about it."
Li Yu became increasingly cautious. The inability to sense anything might mean that the beast's strength had surpassed Fu Xiyao's, or perhaps the beast had gained some intelligence and knew how to hide itself by remaining motionless.
Just then, a gust of wind blew in their faces, and the two immediately smelled a strong, burnt stench.
"This smells like something burnt." Li Yu was puzzled. There was no firelight in front of them, so why was there such a strange smell?
“There!” Fu Xiyao pointed to the slight ripples on the water’s surface.
They could see something swimming rapidly towards them from beneath the water ahead.
It seems that Li Yu and his companion stopped at a distance early on, which is why they chose to take the initiative.
Li Yu drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and quickly aimed, about to launch an attack.
Suddenly, another slender, strange beast leaped out of the rainwater beside them.
With lightning speed, its sharp claws lunged straight for Li Yu's neck.
Almost at the same moment the beast launched its attack, a crackling sound of electricity suddenly rang out in the water in the distance.
"Crack!"
Surrounded by rain and soaked to the bone, Li Yu sensed something was wrong, but it was too late.
In the blink of an eye, Li Yu felt a powerful electric current rush through his body, instantly paralyzing him and rendering him completely unable to move.
Even Xiao Hei was so shocked by the electric shock that his limbs stiffened, and he stood there motionless.
Fu Xiyao miraculously activated her supernatural ability the instant the electric current struck, isolating all the rainwater on her body and thus avoiding the paralysis caused by the current.
"Li Yu, watch out!"
Seeing the strange beast rushing towards Li Yu, and Li Yu remaining motionless, Fu Xiyao didn't hesitate to step in front of Li Yu, trying to shield him from the fatal blow.
"don't want!"
Li Yu was stunned, and her heart clenched suddenly.
The sound was squeezed out of his throat with difficulty, and his body trembled violently under the paralyzing impact of the electric current.
Just as the beast lunged at Fu Xiyao, the vortex in Li Yu's abdomen spun wildly, and his energy exploded instantly, making everything around him seem to slow down.
An energy field quickly formed within his body, briefly repelling the electric current. Li Yu's body recovered slightly, and he fired an arrow without hesitation.
"Whoosh!"
"Bang."
The beast that pounced on her had its head blown off by an arrow and collapsed helplessly in front of Fu Xiyao.
"Idiot! Do you know what you're doing?" Li Yu's voice was filled with anger and worry.
"Don't let your guard down, there's more than one monster!"
Li Yu didn't have time to settle scores with Fu Xiyao. She rushed to the water's edge and immediately aimed at the beast that had just launched an electric attack. She absolutely couldn't let that beast unleash its power again.
A gigantic electric eel, over ten meters long, was seen appearing and disappearing in the water.
The electric eel's body was crackling with blue electricity, like a mysterious electric grid, clearly indicating that it had just released a powerful current.
Just then, the electric eel was about to rush over and drain Li Yu's life force when it discovered that Li Yu suddenly moved freely and killed its companion so quickly.
The electric eel paused, seemingly not expecting Li Yu to recover so quickly.
