After a while, Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu came to the entrance of the cave and looked outside.
This place is halfway up the mountain. At a glance, in the distance, in the mid-air, black spots are flying around in groups of twos and threes, and they have a tendency to continue to spread towards here, with hundreds or even thousands in number.
Looking further down, there are still many people walking around all over the mountains and plains.
Judging from their attire, they were members of the Yihe Tribe's barbarian tribe. These people seemed to have set up a dragnet to search for something.
"With so many people here, I guess Mo Yunyang has dispatched all the troops in Yunyi City to hunt us down," Shi Mu said.
Shi Mu spoke calmly, with no hint of panic on his face. This made Zhong Xiu, who was originally a little flustered, feel a little calmer.
"Brother Shi, they are almost here. What do you think we should do next?" Zhong Xiu seemed to be the little bird he used to be.
Shi Mu pondered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he thought of something.
"Follow me." Shi Mu pulled Zhong Xiu and walked down from the entrance of the cave to a nearby jungle on the edge of a cliff.
"We will hide here and wait for them to search, then we will return to Yunyi City." Shi Mu said.
"Hide here..." Zhong Xiu looked stunned.
You can see everything here, how can you hide?
Shi Mu smiled, pulled Zhong Xiu and hid in the jungle. With a wave of his hand, he took out a green broken cloak and covered them both. It was the same cloak he got in the basement of his residence in Rikang City.
Although the cloak was torn, it could still barely cover the two of them if it remained motionless.
The green light on the cloak shimmered slightly, slowly blending in with the surrounding environment, and there was no trace of anything out of the ordinary.
"Shitou, you are too kind to one and leave me alone outside. You really forgot about your brothers when you had a woman!" Cai'er complained dissatisfied.
Shi Mu raised his eyebrows, lifted up a corner of his cloak, glanced at the Yihe Clan in the distance, thought for a moment, and raised his cloak a little higher.
He originally wanted Cai'er to stay outside and observe the movements of the Yihe clan, but there were too many of them, and Cai'er might be in danger.
"Come in," he said.
Cai'er hurriedly flew down and got into the cloak.
Shi Mu put down his cloak, and the green cloak completely hid the two of them, even their auras were covered up.
As time passed, a sound of flapping wings came closer, and a small team of dozens of barbarians from the Yihe tribe finally searched here.
Under the cloak, Zhong Xiu took a breath and his heart beat faster.
Cai'er was even more unbearable, her whole body had already slipped into Shi Mu's sleeve, and her body was trembling.
In mid-air, a man from the Winged Crane Tribe with blue wings flew over the heads of Shi Mu and others, his eagle-like eyes scanning downwards.
Every wing of this person seemed to be covered with a layer of green light, and the aura he exuded had clearly reached the earth-level realm.
His eyes passed over Shi Mu and others without stopping.
Divine consciousness also diffused, but it also passed over the cloak without stopping at all.
"General Tu, a cave was found here, and there are signs that someone has been inside!" At this moment, a voice came from the cave not far away.
The Green Winged Barbarian's eyes changed slightly and he hurriedly flew over.
Some nearby Yihe tribe also gathered and walked into the cave.
After a while, they all came out again.
"Judging from the traces inside, these people should have just left not long ago. I'm afraid they saw us and ran away in a hurry. Chase!" the green-winged barbarian shouted.
The surrounding Yihe barbarians hurriedly agreed and flew away, flying forward or running on foot.
"Lord Tu Zhi, is it possible that these people are the two people we are looking for?" a black-winged barbarian asked without flying away with the others.
"Regardless of whether it is true or not, since the city lord gave the order, no clues can be let go." The Qingyi Barbarian said in a deep voice.
"Yes." The black-winged barbarian agreed.
The two of them spread their wings at the same time and flew forward.
A quarter of an hour later, in the jungle, a clump of green leaves stirred, and then opened to the side, revealing the figures of Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu.
Zhong Xiu looked at the green cloak in Shi Mu's hand in surprise and asked in a low voice:
"Brother Shi, where did you get this cloak? It can actually block the detection of spiritual consciousness?"
"I got it in an underground cave..." Shi Mu didn't hide anything and briefly explained the process of getting the cloak.
"It seems that the skeleton should be that of a person with a great history." Zhong Xiu pondered for a moment and said.
"I think so too. Unfortunately, this cloak is a bit damaged and cannot be used in action." Shi Mu nodded and said.
"It doesn't matter. I know a lot of masters of weapon refining in Tianwu Chamber of Commerce. I will take it over to see if I can repair it later," Zhong Xiu said.
Shi Mu's face was filled with joy, he nodded, and then looked in the direction of Yunyicheng.
"Let's go to Yunyi City." He said, pulling Zhong Xiu towards the front.
"Everyone is gone, don't pretend to be dead, get up and explore the way." Shi Mu raised his eyebrows, waved his hand, and threw Cai'er out of his sleeve.
Cai'er staggered in mid-air, but soon spread her wings to stabilize her body, glanced around a few times, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them headed towards Yunyi City.
On the way, Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu changed their clothes, and not long after, they arrived at Yunyi City.
It is already early in the morning, the gate of Yunyi City is open, and many people have begun to enter the city.
Perhaps because they didn't expect Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu to return to the city at this time, there was almost no checking at the door. The two blended into the crowd and quickly entered the city.
"Brother Shi, let's go to the inn first!" Zhong Xiu was thinking about the convoy and walked towards the inn.
Shi Mu nodded and followed, looking around from time to time.
Cai'er was already flying in mid-air at this moment, monitoring every move around her.
After a while, the group of people arrived in front of the inn.
The door of the inn was open, and it was quiet inside, without any sound.
Shi Mu raised his eyebrows. He had already seen the situation inside through Cai'er's field of vision and confirmed that there was no one ambushing around.
Zhong Xiu walked in quickly and his expression changed.
The entire inn was long gone, not to mention the floating carriages. There were some burning ashes on the ground, but not a single body was seen.
"These people moved very quickly. In one night, they have eliminated all traces here. Now it seems that the convoy has been moved. Let's go to the city lord's palace. That Mo Yunyang should know." Shi Mu said.
Zhong Xiu took a deep breath and nodded.
Shi Mu's eyes swept over the ashes of the courtyard, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. For some reason, Leng Yuetong's figure flashed across his mind.
He had an intuition that this woman's identity was mysterious and she should have some means of saving her life.
He shook his head, put these thoughts aside, turned around and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
After a while, the two arrived in front of the city lord's mansion.
The door here is closed, and the atmosphere is a little different from the past.
The two looked at each other and seemed to see surprise in each other's eyes.
When the two of them climbed over the wall and jumped into the city lord's mansion, their expressions suddenly changed. The place was filled with a vague aura of the dead.
"I don't know what happened inside. I'll go in front, Xiu'er, follow behind." Shi Mu said in a deep voice.
Zhong Xiu nodded quickly.
Shi Mu took a deep breath, turned over his hand and pulled out the black meteorite knife from his back, held it in his hand, and walked inside.
Through Cai'er's field of vision, the city lord's mansion was now covered with a layer of light gray mist, but other than that, there was no other movement.
In such a huge city lord's mansion, surprisingly not a single person was seen, it was like a dead city.
Shi Mu slowly stepped forward and walked inside.
Having already explored the road twice last night, Shi Mu was quite familiar with the environment here and continued to walk inside based on the route he remembered.
After turning around an intersection, Shi Mu's expression suddenly changed, he grabbed Zhong Xiu, put his foot down, and flew backwards very quickly.
Just as the two pushed away, there was a thud on the ground, and several blue-black palms stretched out and grabbed the two's feet, but naturally they missed their feet.
Shi Mu's expression changed slightly, and then in his eyes, corpses emerged from the ground one after another, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten of them emerged.
"Zombie!" Shi Mu's face changed slightly, and an unknown premonition rolled in his heart.
These zombies were all still wearing the clothes of the Yunyi City Lord's Mansion, and several of them looked familiar. They were the attendants from the City Lord's Mansion that Shi Mu had seen last night.
"These people are all from the City Lord's Mansion, how could they all turn into zombies?" Zhong Xiu said with beautiful eyes in surprise.
"It probably has something to do with the Ming Yue Sect." Shi Mu thought for a moment and said.
The zombies' eyes glowed green, and they roared and rushed toward Shi Mu and the others.
Shi Mu snorted coldly, and a golden sword light flew out, circled around these zombies extremely quickly, and then flew back.
The movements of a dozen zombies froze, and the next moment their heads tilted, and they fell to the ground one after another.
thump!
After the headless corpses of these zombies shook for a moment, they all fell to the ground.
"Let's go!" Shi Mu said lightly and walked forward. Zhong Xiu followed suit.
Everyone in the city lord's mansion seemed to have turned into zombies. As the two walked forward, they encountered several zombies or skeletons every once in a while.
For Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu now, these low-level undead creatures naturally did not pose any threat and were killed casually.
However, the atmosphere here is quite depressing, and the ominous premonition in Shi Mu's heart is getting stronger and stronger.
After a meal, the two finally reached the depths of the city lord's palace.
Shi Mu and Zhong Xiu stopped in front of a huge and majestic palace building. This is the best building in the city lord's palace. It should be where Mo Yunyang usually handles the affairs of the city.
However, at this moment, the aura of the dead emitted from this building was the strongest. Standing at the door, you could clearly feel the aura coming out of it continuously.
