"Seluvinia, why are you so sure that the disciples of Wuteng Spirit Snake Palace will appear today."
Zhou Xingyun asked curiously. Last night, Seluvinia suggested that Du Fei wait for another day, claiming that the possibility of the enemy appearing today was very high.
"That's my conjecture, and it may not necessarily be correct. However, the water source is an indispensable strategic point. If the enemy replenishes the water bag downstream, it is expected to last for two to three days. If it were me, replenish the water bag downstream.
After that, they will quickly go to the exploration site, set up camp nearby and build a water storage reservoir, and then send people to collect water from mountain streams. This can extend the life cycle, reduce the frequency of water collection, and reduce the risk of being noticed."
Seluvinia succinctly explained to Zhou Xingyun that it would take some time to build a water storage reservoir, so the disciples of the Wuteng Spirit Snake Palace would save water and delay it for a day or two until the water storage equipment was built, and then fetch water from the mountain stream to fill the reservoir.
Now four days have passed, and no enemy has come to fetch water. The water storage in their water bladders should have been exhausted. Based on the above, Seluvinia believes that there should be a harvest today...
"It makes sense. Selvinia is really an excellent woman. With you by my side, I am even more powerful!"
"Young Master Yun deserves the prize..."
"How could it be? I told the truth. That girl Zhou Yao didn't lie to me. You are a very reliable woman who can make me feel at ease..."
"Really...is that so...um..."
"What’s wrong with you?"
Zhou Xingyun stared blankly at Seluvinia, and saw the girl's cheeks were flushed, and she showed a sweet smile.
"Young Master Yun has a very special way of praising people, which makes me a little embarrassed..."
"Because Seluvinia is so charming, I can't help but praise you."
"Thank you, Mr. Yun."
"You're welcome." Zhou Xingyun smiled broadly, teasing Seluvinia, which was a very pleasant thing.
"Although I have heard people say that Young Master Yun likes to tease girls and deliberately makes people shy and embarrassed. But I didn't expect that Young Master Yun would be so direct." Selvinia stared at Zhou Xingyun and suddenly asked intriguingly: "Now my
My mind is very confused, what do you think I should do to calm it down?"
"Huh? This..." Zhou Xingyun was a little confused. How did he know what to do with her? In other words, when Zhou Xingyun teased girls and made them shy and embarrassed, they would always be at a loss for words.
Wei Suyao would either rub him or say, "I'm not familiar with you," and Ayesha simply stopped playing with him.
Zhou Xingyun has never met a girl like Seluvinia who does not retreat but advances, directly opens her heart and expresses her feelings to him.
"Master Yun must be responsible for this."
At this moment, Seluvinia suddenly raised her head and her red lips lightly touched Zhou Xingyun's forehead...
The fragrant wind blew into her nostrils, and fell on the slightly curled wavy blonde hair on Seluvinia's chest, like a strand of silk, gently caressing Zhou Xingyun's face.
"..." Zhou Xingyun's old face turned red. He tried to tease him but was teased instead. Such a good thing could happen to him!
Saonian wanted to see Seluvinia look shy and embarrassed, but now he was shy and embarrassed himself... How embarrassing! Zhou Xingyun didn't know what to do for a moment.
Fortunately, just when Zhou Xingyun was feeling ashamed that his boat capsized in the ditch, the black-haired girl who was watching next to him inadvertently raised his hand.
"Hey, I really seem to have been here before..." Mo Nianxi squatted on the top of the mountain and looked around the entire mountain stream. She vaguely felt that the scenery in front of her seemed like she had seen it before somewhere.
"You also told me this when you were in Qinglian Mountain, and then you tricked me into accompanying you to the mountains to find fruits to eat!" Zhou Xingyun felt that he was a little unable to resist Selvinia, so he had to bully Nian Xi first.
, I’ll think of a new way to tease the girl later, and then go back to find Seluvinia’s place.
"I really didn't lie to you this time. If you don't believe me, I can take you there to see. There is a beautiful stone cave there." Mo Nianxi pointed to the mountains in the distance.
"Haha..." Zhou Xingyun smiled but said nothing, I believe you are a ghost.
"Yun! Senior Yang's white eagle is flying towards us!"
Mu Ya's eyes were sharp and she was the first to notice the situation. A white eagle flew towards them and landed on the cliff on the side. That area was the inspection point that Du Fei was responsible for...
In a short time, Du Fei, Lu Shifei, Isabel, Master Lin Heng and others arrived at the agreed gathering place one after another.
The white eagle is a signal. Seeing the white eagle means that there is a problem with the water source on the opposite side. Zhou Xingyun and others will gather immediately before taking the next step.
"Yang Yuqing found traces of the enemy. They are fetching water from the mountain stream opposite. Let us join him as soon as possible."
Du Fei didn't waste any time, and decisively took out the letter that Bai Diao brought and told everyone that a disciple of Wuteng Spirit Snake Palace had appeared. Next, everyone used Qinggong and followed Bai Diao in the sky to look for Yang Yuqing in the mountain stream opposite...
In the woods in the southern mountains of Shagu Ridge, there is a small waterfall. More than forty suspicious guys, carrying large wooden buckets, gathered under the small waterfall to collect water.
"They finally showed up. We've been waiting for so long."
Du Fei hid on the high slope of the mountainside, watching the dozens of Wuteng Spirit Snake Palace disciples in front and below, using a relay method to pass the empty barrels to the people in front to fill them with water. When the barrels were full, they passed them back.
To the people behind.
"Their carriages are parked over there, and before you arrived, they had delivered five carriages of buckets."
Yang Yuqing observed on the high slope for a while. The disciples of Wuteng Spirit Snake Palace transported the buckets to the carriage on the mountain roadside. When the carriage was filled, they would set off and leave.
"Isn't this exactly what Seluvinia guessed?" Zhou Xingyun said in surprise: "As expected, they camped and built a water storage reservoir near the ancient tomb of the imperial mausoleum, preparing to reserve water sources, and then excavated the relics aggressively."
"Did you expect that they would do this?" Du Fei followed Zhou Xingyun in exclaiming and turned his attention to Seluvinia.
"I just think that if the disciples of Wuteng Spirit Snake Palace want to do things cheaply, the best choice is to build water storage equipment in the camp." Selvinia smiled flatly. Du Fei sighed with emotion: "
She is such a secretive little girl.”
A few nights ago, when Du Fei, Yang Yuqing and others were discussing Zhou Xingyun and his party, Master Lin Heng was more concerned about Dai Shida, while Du Fei himself was more optimistic about Nangong Ling, and Yang Yuqing emphasized that Wu Hua might be a
A powerful person.
However, among them, Lu Shifei, who had the strongest martial arts skills and the widest world exposure, made a categorical statement. The person who found it most incredible to him was Seluvinia.
Because of Seluvini
Ya was so ordinary that even Lu Shifei didn't think she could be a very powerful person.
Lu Shifei was able to detect the abnormality of Seluvinia, not because the girl showed her weakness. Lu Shifei realized that she was unusual by observing the companions around Seluvinia.
Seluvinia has a gorgeous beauty, and every move she makes should be very eye-catching, but for some reason, among Zhou Xingyun and his group, she is like a sword without revealing its edge, her inner aura is restrained and peaceful.
, there is no sign of concealing her strength at all, and it is even easy for people to ignore her existence.
At first, Lu Shifei also thought that Seluvinia might be a junior peak warrior. However, the way Dai Shida, Wei Suyao, Nangong Ling, Rao Yue, Isabel and others looked at her,
They all exude an aura of competitiveness and unwillingness to admit defeat...
Lu Shifei vaguely felt that Seluvinia was like an insurmountable mountain in the eyes of Dashida and others.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster! Therefore, Lu Shifei said categorically that the person who found him most incredible was Seluvinia, who everyone thought was ordinary.
Now, thanks to Seluvinia's suggestion, they found traces of the disciples of the Wuteng Spirit Snake Palace without any surprises. Then they only had to follow the carriage tracks to find the enemy's base camp.
After discovering enemy traces, the reconnaissance team took action immediately.
Zhou Xingyun and others bypassed the enemy who was fetching water from Jianxi Waterfall, followed the clues to find the Wuteng Spirit Snake Palace base camp, and confirmed the enemy's specific location.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Xingyun arrived at the ridgeline in the southern part of Shagu Ridge and found dozens of large barracks built just below the mountain slope.
"Look! I'm not lying to you, I just said there is a beautiful rock cave here." Mo Nianxi grabbed Zhou Xingyun's arm and pointed to the cave under the mountain, asking him to open his eyes and take a good look.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say is what it is." Zhou Xingyun was unable to refute. This was all fooled by the black-haired girl, so he had no choice but to accept his fate.
"It turns out that the ancient tomb of the imperial mausoleum that is rumored in the world is buried under the mountain where we are now."
Master Lin Heng looked down at the barracks at the foot of the hillside, and could see that the disciples of the Wuteng Spirit Snake Palace were shouting and driving a group of coolies, busy digging rocks and carrying things.
As Mrs. Lin Heng said, the ancient tombs of the imperial mausoleums were built within the mountain. Standing high on the ridge, Zhou Xingyun could see a spacious cave below that could accommodate two carriages.
There is a stone wall with artificial sculptures at the entrance of the cave, but it has been eroded over time and covered with vines, making it difficult to detect.
However, the vines and vegetation at the entrance of the cave have now been cut off by the disciples of the Wuteng Spirit Snake Palace. Therefore, Zhou Xingyun and others standing on the high ridge can see the cave that resembles the entrance of the imperial mausoleum at a glance.
It is true that the entrance to the underground palace of the imperial mausoleum has been sealed, and the gatekeepers of Wuteng Spirit Snake Palace can only force coolies to dig the entrance and explore the ancient tomb.
"Are they all members of the Wuji Chamber of Commerce's large force? The number is much higher than what was mentioned in the intelligence." Lu Shifei discovered that the intelligence was different from that provided by the Five Seasons Chamber of Commerce.
The Five Seasons Chamber of Commerce claims that their large force has about three hundred people, but the current number of prisoners is not one thousand but eight hundred.
The same goes for the people of Wuteng Spirit Snake Palace. There are more than 300 people active outside the base camp tent alone. If you include those who are carrying water, working inside the cave, and resting... Lu Shifei conservatively estimates
