A breeze blew around, and the flowers, plants and trees were swayed gently by the wind.
The sun shines through the gaps between the leaves of the big trees and falls on the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
"Those guys must be planning something when they appear here."
There are many footprints on the ground, and we can roughly deduce the number of people who appeared here before.
With so many rebels appearing not far from Zecheng, no one would believe that there was no conspiracy.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, took a few deep breaths and then calmed down his excitement.
At present, it is difficult for him to expose his identity, so when he discovers that the rebels are gathering here, he has to find a way to tell the officials.
In the past, I wrote letters and asked the children to deliver the letters to the Yamen. This method was quite good.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, thought for a while and decided to write a letter as soon as the city gate opened and ask the children to send it to the Yamen to remind the officials and ask them to be careful.
Although there is now a large-scale search in the city, trying to find out the rebels who are causing trouble.
However, the officials responsible for this work expected that the number of rebels in the city could be counted on one hand, and some plans were prepared based on this number.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead is now outside the city. Judging from the footprints, there are at least twenty rebels.
Tell the government the news. If the relevant person in charge learns this information, they will definitely raise the alert level and make corresponding plans more rigorously.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead glanced at the scene, then turned and left the place.
The rebels have been surrounded and suppressed for so many years and still have not been wiped out. This shows how tenacious they are.
Of course, we can also know that the rebels are not weak.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead could easily deal with the rebels he encountered alone. If they were just a few people, he could still escape even if he couldn't defeat them.
Now he deduced from the footprints that the number of these rebels exceeded twenty, which posed a great threat.
Continue to stay here. If the rebels come back and the two sides meet, there is a high chance that the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead will end up here.
He had to leave quickly and get back into the grass. Within a few seconds, the figure of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead disappeared without a trace.
…………
The sun hanging in the sky began to move toward the horizon. In the city, the temporary slaughterhouse near the city gate was busy for most of the day, and most of the strange beasts were processed.
If we work overtime on the remaining nights, we can finish it today.
As evening approaches, you can find more and more sparse pedestrians on the street.
During the day today, many soldiers were patrolling the streets for traces of the rebels, but no clues were found.
Now the situation has become a little more relaxed, and the soldiers who were checking passers-by have left one after another.
People who had been paying attention to the situation on the road got the news and began to appear on the street.
Some shops that were worried about getting into trouble were open for business, and small vendors also pushed their carts to set up stalls on the roadside.
The streets began to become lively, which relieved the somewhat depressing atmosphere in the city.
In a small alley, there was a shorter figure sneaking around.
He stood next to the garbage dump in the alley, looking into the distance.
Some soldiers were walking out of a restaurant. This short figure stared at the soldiers and muttered something.
"There are five people in total. With my strength, I can easily get rid of them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the short figure walked out of the alley and quickly followed the five soldiers who left.
…………
In the endless forest, there are dozens of insects flying quickly in the air.
Behind these insects, there is another figure following from a distance.
Lin Fei felt the wind blowing in front of him and raised his hand to straighten his collar that was messed up by the wind.
He left his stronghold and followed dozens of insects all the way. More than ten minutes had passed and he still hadn't found the insect's nest.
The sun in the sky continues to move toward the horizon. Soon, the sun will completely disappear, and then the moon will become the protagonist of this world.
Before Lin Fei came out, he thought he could get the matter done before the sun went down.
However, the reality was different from what he had imagined. Seeing that the sun would disappear soon, the dozens of bugs in front showed no sign of slowing down their flight speed.
Their old nest should be far away and cannot be reached in a short time.
The passage of time does not change according to human will. When the sun in the sky had only its last ray of afterglow, Lin Fei found that the dozens of insects began to lower their flying altitude, and their own flight speed also began to slowly slow down.
"Is this home?"
Lin Fei said happily, and then he continued to follow these insects.
A few more minutes passed, and a desolate mountain range appeared in front of us.
Under Lin Fei's gaze, the dozens of insects he was following approached the desolate mountains and flew towards a cave in the mountains.
This cave is at least twenty meters in diameter. If you stand outside and observe, you can see many stalactites inside the cave.
Each stalactite has a different length, hanging upside down, with the sharp part pointed towards the ground.
"Their nest should be deep in the cave. Next, we only need to kill the insect swarm in one pot and eradicate the weeds."
Lin Fei muttered a few words to himself, and then he came to the entrance of the cave and landed.
"Peng."
A small fireball appeared out of thin air and then split into two.
After the volume became smaller, it did not split again, but expanded rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Fei created two fireballs one meter in diameter.
Under his control, the fireball quickly rose into the sky and hung more than ten meters above his head, emitting light and dispersing the surrounding darkness.
The sky has completely darkened. As the sun gets off work and the moon appears, the silver-white moonlight splashes onto the earth, and the flowers, plants and trees seem to be wearing a beautiful silver-white gauze.
The strange beasts in the forest become active after dark. A beast roars not far away. After the sound is heard, different beast roars are heard in other directions.
The roars of various beasts came one after another, intertwining with each other and floating around.
Lin Fei glanced at the location where the beast's roar was heard in the distance, then he ignored it and stepped forward into the cave.
If a stalactite above the head falls and an ordinary practitioner is hit, at least he will be seriously injured. If he is unlucky, he may be directly killed by the stalactite.
Lin Fei didn't want to be distracted and stared at the stalactites above his head. In order to avoid accidents, he directly used telekinesis to create a barrier above his head.
In this way, even if a serious accident occurs and many stalactites fall down, Lin Fei will not be harmed until they smash the telekinetic barrier.
…………
"Tap, step, step..."
There was a sound, and there was a burst of footsteps in the quiet cave.
The orange fire light dispersed the surrounding darkness, and the sound of water droplets came from the dark place in the distance. Hearing the sound, Lin Fei stopped.
"It should be quite humid in that direction, otherwise there would be no sound of water dripping."
Lin Fei made some judgments in his mind, and then walked towards the place where the sound of water dripping appeared.
It had been several minutes since he arrived in the cave, and he had not seen any trace of insects yet.
The further we walked, the clearer the sound of water drops became, and we also heard the sound of water flowing.
There is the sound of water flowing in the cave, which is relatively rare.
Lin Fei quickened his pace a little, and soon he saw a small stream.
The creek is about two meters wide and flows downward.
At the far end is a dark hole, where a large amount of water flows, entering the hole and disappearing without a trace.
Lin Fei observed the surrounding situation and found that some stalactites in this place had signs of being chewed.
"Is there anything left to eat with this thing?"
"Keep looking for the insect's nest, and when you come back, look at the unfilled hole."
The fireball controlled by Lin Fei flew in the other direction. The darkness in front of him was instantly dispersed by the light of fire, and then he walked forward quickly.
The cave was quite deep. Lin Fei must have walked several kilometers away, but he still couldn't see the end.
And as you go deeper into the cave, you can clearly feel the surrounding temperature dropping.
Because I feel cold obviously, it is best to put on some clothes at this time.
If you don't keep warm, you might catch a cold when you go back.
Lin Fei opened the dimensional space, took out a coat and put it on.
As we continue to move forward, the temperature continues to drop.
There is even some ice on the ground. If you accidentally step on the ice, you may slip.
Lin Fei avoided the ice on the ground and walked several hundred meters further.
At this time, his thin coat obviously didn't work very well. The cold would make people's bodies tremble uncontrollably.
"Crack."
Lin Fei still had winter clothes in his dimension. He took one out to wear, which would be able to withstand the current cold. However, he was not prepared to do that, so he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Fire burst out from his fingertips.
The weak flame expanded rapidly.
Suddenly, more than a dozen fireballs appeared around Lin Fei's body. Each fireball was not as big as the lighting fireball, but it was more numerous, and it quickly dissipated the coldness around it.
After solving the cold problem, we can move on.
After another moment, Lin Fei stopped again.
This time he didn't stop because of the cold, there was no way to go.
That's right, Lin Fei reached the end of the cave.
In front of you is a wall. The wall is covered with many ice crystals, and there are also many stones wrapped in thick ice around it.
This area currently covers thousands of square meters, and the temperature is below zero, so it can be used as a natural refrigerator.
"This path is wrong."
"Those bugs should be at the end of the other road."
Lin Fei entered the cave before. After walking for a while, there was a fork in the road. He chose one of the roads at will, and ended up at this place now.
In order to find the insect's nest as soon as possible, Lin Fei did not return the same way. An idea came to his mind, and the space teleportation ability was activated instantly.
A vast white light flashed across this dim area, and Lin Fei's figure disappeared.
The fireball floating in the air quickly extinguished after Lin Fei left, and the remaining warmth of the fireball was quickly covered up by the cold.
…………
At the fork in the cave, white light appeared out of thin air and disappeared in an instant.
When Lin Fei returned to this place, he directly chose the fork on the right and walked forward.
Of course, now that the surroundings are pitch black, a new batch of fireballs must be made.
As Lin Fei walked around, small flames ignited around his body, and these small flames expanded rapidly with his breathing.
Not long after, the large dark areas around him were all illuminated.
Wherever Lin Fei passes, the temperature will rise several degrees, offsetting the cold caused by the cave.
This time, because we chose the right route, we soon heard the buzzing of insects.
"Buzz..."
The noisy buzzing sound came from far away, especially in this quiet cave.
The sound spreads in the air and echoes constantly, making it very scary. If an ordinary person were here, they would most likely be frightened to the point where their heart rate would skyrocket.
“So noisy.”
Lin Fei frowned, and after a while, he arrived at his destination.
The firelight dispersed the surrounding darkness, and there was a huge insect nest on the wall in front of him.
There were so many insects crawling around that it was impossible to count them.
People with trypophobia may faint on the spot when they see this scene.
"Damn, why are there so many?"
Lin Fei had eliminated a lot of bugs before, but now he was surprised to see so many bugs in the bug nest.
After a rough estimate, the number of these bugs in front of me should be more than thirty times the number of bugs that were eliminated previously.
With such a huge number, it is no wonder that these bugs quickly regain their strength every time they are defeated by the investigators protecting the stronghold.
Lin Fei's appearance attracted the attention of the insect swarm, and the densely packed insects looked at him.
Then hundreds of insects flapped their wings and flew up, quickly rushing toward Lin Fei.
"go."
Lin Fei waved his hand, and several fireballs immediately greeted the hundreds of flying insects.
Hundreds of bugs were unable to brake in time and crashed into the fireball, instantly losing their lives.
One by one, the burnt insects fell and hit the ground hard, many of them broken into pieces.
"Buzz..."
The simple test was over in an instant. Seeing his companions being killed by the enemy, the insect swarm at the scene was like a burning flame with a spoonful of oil poured on it, and the anger suddenly rose.
Countless insects rushed towards Lin Fei crazily. If it were other practitioners facing such a swarm of insects, even third-level practitioners would have to avoid the edge temporarily.
However, Lin Fei's strength was far stronger than that of a third-level practitioner. Facing the crazy swarm of insects, his body burst into flames.
In the blink of an eye, a flame giant appeared on the scene.
He waved his fist and blasted out violently, and the black insect swarm suffered this blow, causing over a thousand casualties.
Lin Fei turned into a flame giant, making it impossible for the swarms of insects who wanted to kill him. He had nowhere to vent his anger, which was very torture.
