The night breeze was blowing, and the slightly humid air blew past, and the weeds rubbed against each other, making a "rustling" sound.
Zuo Feng looked at the sky and saw that the bright moon had quietly disappeared into the sky, making the surrounding environment much darker.
"It's almost time. It's less than an hour before dawn. This is also the darkest time of the night and our last chance to escape."
After finishing speaking, Zuo Feng turned to look at Yao Qiu'er, who was not far away, and said in a gentle voice: "Are you ready?"
Yao Qiu'er, who had taken the medicine and food, was now obviously more energetic than before. She opened her big watery eyes, smiled and nodded to Zuo Feng.
"Do I still need to call you Nifeng?"
The sudden question made Zuo Feng slightly stunned, and then he said with a smile: "I, my name is Shen Feng. I came out of the Elixir Mountain Range before, and my destination was the same as you, to go to the Imperial Capital. I am go……"
"Participate in the medicine selection competition, and you will be the one who has qualified for the Linshan County Medicine Competition."
Before Zuo Feng finished speaking, Yao Qiu'er had already interjected. It seemed that she had some guesses about Zuo Feng's identity, but she had never been sure.
After being slightly startled, Zuo Feng couldn't help but smile and nodded. Now it seems that he has always underestimated the sources of information from these super aristocratic families, and also underestimated his own current reputation.
Maybe when I first came to the Xuanwu Empire, I was just a little-known person, but as I participated in the drug selection competition, I finally began to make a name for myself in the Xuanwu Empire.
From this point of view, Su Yan's original proposal was very correct. Although he caused a lot of trouble and enemies because of the drug selection, he finally made the name "Chen Feng" famous in the Xuanwu Empire.
Although it is not yet clear how to obtain the antidote for Yao Tuozi, at least there is a channel that brings me one step closer to the goal that was originally out of reach.
"I'm ready, let's go."
Although there had been speculation about Zuo Feng's name for a long time, Yao Qiu'er seemed to relax a lot after Zuo Feng personally admitted his identity.
After briefly dealing with the surroundings and feeling that no traces were left, the two quietly set off on the road.
Their location was not close to the place where the Qianhuan Sect had set up a blockade, but the two of them were plotted and targeted in various ways along the way, so they had to be more careful. After all, Zuo Feng was recovering and could not use prisoner all the time. After locking the probe, the two of them moved forward for more than a mile before gradually slowing down.
In front of the two people was a group of continuous hills, and for some unknown reason, there were very few trees on both sides of the hills, and instead they became open areas.
Only where the mountains are located, the trees are tall and it is easier to hide, and those warriors of Qianhuan Sect are in this mountain forest.
The sparse trees on both sides are exactly the route to Wa City and Jiao City. Therefore, if you want to go around from both sides, there is also a lot of risk. Walking in the wilderness without cover is equivalent to completely exposing yourself to Within the enemy's sight.
After careful observation, Zuo Feng once again used the prison lock to explore the situation in the mountain from a distance. However, Zuo Feng was already far away at this time, so he did not dare to make too much noise. If anyone saw the prison lock, he would The halo of the lock will come over as soon as possible.
After simply confirming the enemy's position, Zuo Feng immediately stopped releasing the space energy in the prison lock.
As the information provided by Wang Quan is similar, the Qianhuan Sect is indeed stationed at this location, and the main purpose is to set up obstacles here. It is not only to prepare for Yao Qiu'er, but also to not allow any information to be leaked on the Jiabao City side.
, what they are doing now must be extremely confidential.
Everything they did to the Yao family in Jiabao City was actually equivalent to launching a challenge first, and as long as they didn't get the black magic stone for a day, they had to be careful not to leak any information.
Zuo Feng already knew clearly the three nearby hills in the distance and the location of the enemy. Through their location, he could also know the range covered by these people's sight, so he also planned a route based on the opponent's arrangement.
.
However, during the previous investigation using the prison lock, Zuo Feng discovered a problem, that is, the spatial power in his prison lock was not inexhaustible.
Although there was no abnormality in the prison lock when it was used before, after the long-distance exploration just now, Zu Foting still found that the power of space in the prison lock seemed to have decreased a bit.
Zuo Feng didn't know whether this was because of the normal consumption of the power of internal space during the use of the prison lock, or because the power of space in the prison lock would continue to dissipate over time. In short, the power of space in it
Strength is decreasing.
With this discovery, he naturally became nervous. Having the prison lock was equivalent to having a pair of eyes for him. This was his biggest advantage when facing the enemy, and it was also his only advantage.
If he loses the prison lock, he will become no different from an ordinary warrior, and it will become very difficult to pass through the blockade of a large number of warriors, and it can even be said to be courting death.
However, Zuo Feng did not tell Yao Qiu'er these things, because he did not reveal much about the abilities of Prison Lock itself. Now only he knows all the changes, and there is no need to add unnecessary burden to Yao Qiu'er.
Especially since Yao Qiu'er's psychological quality is not as good as mine. Under huge pressure, Yao Qiu'er is more likely to make mistakes, which will only make matters worse.
With his back to Yao Qiu'er, Zuo Feng secretly observed the prison lock on his wrist. Without the stimulation of telekinesis and spiritual power, the prison lock was just like a pair of ordinary wrist guards, and no change could be seen at all.
Moreover, without establishing contact with the prison lock, even if there was space power passing through the prison lock, he himself would not be able to notice it at all. This was also the most helpless place for him.
Sighing secretly in his heart, Zuo Feng also slightly increased his speed. Yao Qiu'er, who was following behind, found that Zuo Feng was constantly increasing his speed. She was also a little confused about how good she was. She already knew that the enemy's blockade was ahead of her.
Being more cautious is probably the best option.
However, she also quickly thought that Zuo Feng had said before that the two of them must pass through here before dawn, so she quickly followed without any hesitation.
The few sentries set up by the enemy closest to the periphery have been identified through Zuofeng's previous exploration. The positions of these sentries are very scattered, and it seems that they are also to expand the sight range further.
This naturally includes open areas with sparse trees on both sides, which makes it easier for Zuofeng to sneak in quietly.
Facing this kind of sentry post, Zuo Feng understands that it is called darkness under the light. When the enemy sets up the sentry post, they will preconceptionally think that the position where they are located is the most dense. Even if someone approaches, they will never be able to pass through, let alone break through.
Entering their hinterland is like seeking death, so there is no need to worry too much.
Because of this, the two of them arrived at the foot of the first hill very smoothly. Zuo Feng deliberately chose the gentle slope between the two hills.
The trees here grow thicker, so it is not easy for the two of them to sneak in without being noticed, and the enemy's sentries are all higher up, which means they can slip under the enemy's nose.
This time, Yao Qiu'er was not as nervous as before. She followed closely behind Zuo Feng and lurked between the trees, making almost no sound during the whole process.
Soon the two passed through the first line of defense. Zuo Feng had to activate the power of space in the prison lock again, because he himself did not know the layout deeper behind. Now he could only peek at the enemy while moving forward.
Location.
Following the gentle slope where the two of them were, after passing between the two hills, Zuofeng headed towards a relatively lower hill again. The hills he chose were all densely forested, so even with the
Enemies are relatively close to each other and can use the environment to hide.
However, as the two of them got closer and closer to the hill ahead, Zuo Feng's brows furrowed more and more tightly. If these enemies didn't know that the two would arrive in advance, then they were usually so cautious.
This time before dawn is usually when people are most sleepy, but whether it is the warriors on duty at night or the warriors in charge of the guards, all of them are still alert to observe the movements around them.
After walking into this mountainous area, Zuo Feng discovered that the enemy had almost occupied this group of hills. There were some camps placed in hidden places in almost every hill.
It seems that the enemy should have been here for a while, and it seems that they have no intention of leaving in the next period of time. And the more Zuo Feng enters the inner area, the higher the cultivation level of the warrior is.
There are still a lot of warriors on guard outside in the late stage of bone refining, but after passing the first level of warning, warriors in the early and middle stages of tendon quenching are almost everywhere, and there are not even warriors in the bone refining stage.
After Zuo Yao and the two climbed over the second low mountain silently, they found that there was a small basin in front of them. The surrounding mountains were even lower here.
Zuo Feng could clearly feel that this should already be the enemy's hinterland. As long as he passed through here, he would cross the defense line and go to Xiachi City.
But just as the two of them were meandering forward along the edge of the small basin, Zuo Feng suddenly felt that the connection with the prison lock had become vague, and the connection with this space was also intermittent.
Continued.
'What's wrong, I don't have the power of space at this time. Now is the critical moment. I can pass through the enemy's blockade with only a short distance. Why does something go wrong at this time?'
Cursing in his heart, he even wanted to beat up the prisoner if he could. Seeing that the two of them were so close to escaping, the problem he was most worried about appeared at this moment.
