Chapter 424: Mysterious Arrival and Mysterious Disappearance

This time, not only the people of Wuliang Mountain, but also many people including Tianyi Pavilion of Canglong Temple were confused.

Because they never thought that Yin Jiaxiong would do this.

Only He Nandou gave Zhao Ya a thumbs up again as if he had expected it.

The meaning was very clear, that is, he was praising Zhao Ya for his skill.

Zhao Ya just smiled slightly.

In fact, what he said just now was not just to win people's hearts, but he really felt that it would be a pity if Yin Jiaxiong died like this.

The key is that this person is not bad in nature, but he is a little self-righteous and arrogant.

After this battle, I believe he will also deeply understand the truth that there are people beyond people and there are heavens beyond heaven.

And once such a person surrenders, he will surely become a great help.

Sure enough.

Just when the elders and disciples of Wuliang Mountain were preparing, Yin Jiaxiong rushed to the team, and then clasped his fists to Zhao Ya with a sincere face.

"Master Zhao's words just now are as deafening as a huge bell, and they also made me wake up."

"I did something wrong before, so I won't say much. Let's see you on the battlefield."

Yin Jiaxiong's personality is just like the swordsmanship he practices, straight to the point, without so many twists and turns.

For him, losing is losing, not to mention that the other party defeated him in front of so many people.

And after defeating him, the other party didn't kill him, but let him go.

This naturally made Yin Jiaxiong feel ashamed.

He even had the idea of ​​selling his life to Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya didn't say much about this, just nodded slightly, and then turned around to do his own thing.

At the same time, He Nandou came up and said with a smile.

"Master Yin Shan, long time no see."

Yin Jiaxiong glanced at He Nandou. As the masters of the same sect, they certainly knew each other.

If it were in the past, with Yin Jiaxiong's arrogant character, he would not have paid attention to He Nandou.

But now, under Zhao Ya's blow, he has also restrained himself a lot.

Especially since he has just joined, he naturally has to be low-key.

So he nodded and smiled: "Master He, it's been a long time since we last met."

"Haha, from now on, we are comrades in the same trench. We must get closer if we have the chance."

"Of course."

While the two were greeting each other, the disciples of Wuliang Mountain finally packed their bags and joined the team.

"Let's go!"

At Zhao Ya's order, everyone continued to move forward and headed north.

In the next few days, all the sects along the way that did not obey the Canglong Order were suppressed by Zhao Ya with force.

As a result, the team became more and more huge.

While the entire Huawai Land was stirred up by Zhao Ya, Kong Xiangdong was also holding his breath and observing the movements in the distance in the snowy plains of the northern border thousands of miles away.

The difference is that he no longer has to go to the hill several miles away.

Relying on the monocular telescope brought by the Mechanical Sect, Kong Xiangdong can still observe the dynamics of the black ship very clearly even in the camp.

After a moment, Kong Xiangdong raised his head, breathed a sigh of relief, and then shook his head.

"At least compared with yesterday, there is no change."

Jing Rou and Huang Liang on the side did not look very happy when they heard this, but frowned instead.

"This is not a good sign." Huang Liang said.

"Yes, I have always felt that the buzzing sound has been getting louder and louder in the past few days." Jing Rou also said.

"For now, the only way is to cheer up and make full preparations, and wait for Zhao Ya and others to arrive." Liang Xin'an made a summary.

During this period of time, he has been immersed in happiness, especially remembering his promise to Liu Yujiao, and has become much more cautious in doing things.

If it were in the past, he would have been unable to hold back and ran to the black ship to investigate the situation.

Everyone nodded, and then left and returned to their posts.

Liang Xin'an was in charge of the left line of defense.

Because the weather was getting colder, patrolling and keeping watch had become a chore.

Fortunately, the cold-resistant supplies were well prepared, and with a number of people taking turns to exchange, they could get through it.

Liang Xin'an first circled the line of defense he was responsible for several times, and after confirming that there was no abnormality, he returned to the temporary lounge.

It was already dark at this time, and many people gathered in the lounge.

These were the people responsible for guarding this line of defense, so they were also Liang Xin'an's men.

When they saw him come in, these people stood up one after another.

"Captain Liang!"

"Captain!"

Liang Xin'an waved his hand, "We are all brothers, hurry up and sit down."

People sat down again.

Liang Xin'an chose a place near the stove, ready to rest for a while, and then go outside for patrol.

Someone handed him a wine bag, Liang Xin'an drank two gulps, and then habitually took out the sachet and explored it carefully.

The voices of the conversations in the room gradually became quieter.

Some people even leaned on the chair and fell asleep.

Liang Xinan recalled the past with sweetness in his heart, wishing that he could solve the problem right now, and then return to the Machinery Sect to stay with Liu Yujiao forever.

In fact, even Liang Xinan himself felt strange.

Obviously, Liu Yujiao is not particularly pretty, but why am I so fascinated by her?

Is it because of her quiet personality?

Or is it just because of her gentle smile?

Liang Xinan thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he could only attribute it to a wonderful fate.

Just as he was thinking about it, a cool breeze blew. Liang Xinan turned his head and saw someone hurriedly opened the door and ran out.

Liang Xinan didn't care.

Although the time for the shift change has not yet arrived, people have three urgent things, especially after drinking, it is inevitable to go out to solve personal problems.

He planned to go out for a tour in a while.

But soon, Liang Xinan vaguely noticed something wrong.

Because the person who just went out wasted too much time.

You know, this person didn't wear a cotton coat when he went out just now. It was so cold and it was night. It was easy to get into danger after staying outside for a long time.

Liang Xinan didn't think much about it. He thought that maybe this man had drunk too much, and the cold wind of the winter night made him drunk, so he couldn't find the way back.

So he got up and went outside.

The biting cold wind blew in his face, and even Liang Xinan, who had a deep martial arts cultivation, couldn't help but shiver at this time.

Then he came to the place where the patrol guards usually urinated, but the result made him stunned.

Because it was empty here, there was no one at all.

Liang Xinan's heart was shocked, and he immediately sobered up, and then he checked around very quickly.

The result was still nothing.

Liang Xinan's heart gradually sank.

Because this person didn't wear a cotton coat outside, one thing was certain, that is, he would never go far.

But for the sake of safety, Liang Xinan went to the defense line to check as soon as possible.

Sure enough.

There was no trace of him here either.

Liang Xin'an also realized the seriousness of the situation at this time.

A living person suddenly disappeared in the camp, and the key was that no one noticed it from beginning to end. What a terrible fact this must be.

Liang Xin'an did not hesitate and notified others of the matter as soon as possible.

Soon, including Huang Liang and Jing Rou who were on duty, all rushed over.

Then everyone surrounded the place where the man disappeared, and their faces looked a little bad.

Under the illumination of the Qisifeng lamp, footprints on the snow can be clearly seen, but strangely, no signs of struggle were found.

"Are you sure that the man disappeared here?" Huang Liang asked.

Liang Xin'an nodded, "I have asked just now. Someone saw him come out of the house and come here to urinate. As a result, the man disappeared strangely."

Kong Xiangdong also came here after hearing the news. He squatted down without saying a word, carefully checked the traces on the ground, and suddenly spoke.

"Look, there seems to be traces of dragging here."

Everyone came forward to take a look upon hearing this.

As expected.

In an inconspicuous corner, there was a thin layer of dragging traces on the snow, but the traces only lasted for a few meters before disappearing.

Now everyone couldn't help but be more confused.

Even if someone attacked, the missing person was not a weak woman who was powerless, on the contrary, she was very strong.

So how could there be no struggle and resistance?

Secondly, even if he was killed by a sneak attack, where was the body?

You know, just now, Liang Xin'an had ordered people to search the area thoroughly, but still found nothing.

A thick haze enveloped everyone's heart.

In fact, the danger that can be seen on the surface is not the most terrible, the terrible thing is the unknown.

Just like when facing this huge black ship, some people could not bear the pressure in their hearts and were on the verge of collapse.

At this time, Huang Liang said slowly: "This matter must be strictly blocked from the news, and the wind must not be leaked, so as not to cause unnecessary panic."

Everyone naturally understood this.

Liang Xinan also responded: "I have warned my brothers before, they will not talk nonsense."

"Also, from now on, no one can act alone no matter what they do, at least three people together." Huang Liang said again.

"Understood!"

The storm subsided silently, but everyone's heart was heavy.

Because everyone understood that this should be just the beginning.

Just like the weirdness of this black ship.

No one knows what will happen next, and what they will face.

All they can do is to be as vigilant as possible, and then wait for Zhao Ya and others to arrive.

Kong Xiangdong also returned to the line of defense he led.

Yang Zhan was already waiting here, and he didn't know what happened when someone suddenly came to inform Kong Xiangdong.

But it must not be a good thing.

Sure enough, without asking, just looking at Kong Xiangdong's solemn expression, Yang Zhan knew that something tricky must have happened.

"How is it?"

"The situation is not good!" Then Kong Xiangdong lowered his voice and told the story again.

As a partner who had known each other for many years, he trusted Yang Zhan very much and knew that he would not talk about such things everywhere.

Yang Zhan's face changed after listening to it, and then he fell into deep thought.

"Only a shallow drag mark?"

"Yes, the mark only lasted a few meters and then disappeared."

"Could it be... an attack from some kind of raptor?"

Because only raptors can leave the camp with a living person without leaving any footprints on the ground.

"We have considered this possibility, but there are two questions."

"First, the place where this person disappeared is very close to the lounge. Liang Xin'an of the Mechanical Sect was resting in the room at that time. If there was a raptor attack, he would not have failed to notice it."

"Second, although the person who disappeared was not a powerful warrior, his strength was not weak. Even if the attacking raptor was extremely powerful, it would not cause him to be taken away without any struggle. You know, we didn't find any blood on the ground at that time."

Yang Zhan also frowned when he heard this, "This is indeed inexplicable, but if it is not a raptor, what else could make a living person disappear strangely?"

"I don't know, but now that it has happened, the only thing we can do is to be doubly careful and notify all the brothers that from now on, at least three people must act together to do anything, even if you go to pee, you have to go with three people."

Yang Zhan nodded, and then went down to notify.

But no one expected that the second disappearance case would come so quickly.

And this time it happened on the line of defense that Kong Xiangdong was responsible for.

The missing were four people, a patrol team.

When everyone rushed over after hearing the news, Kong Xiangdong's face was livid, and he was looking down at the long dragging marks on the ground.

The difference between this time and the last time was that the dragging marks were much longer.

But other than that, there was still no sign of struggle.

"Four strong men, one of whom was a disciple of the Mechanical Sect, holding the latest crossbow firearms in his hands, but they didn't fire a single shot, and they were still patrolling just now, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. What kind of existence did this?" Kong Xiangdong asked.

No one responded.

Everyone's face was extremely ugly.

If the disappearance at the beginning was just a feeling of unknown fear, then now it is almost terrifying.

Because apart from the legendary ghosts and ghosts, who can do this silently?

The Mechanical Sect and others, who were originally confident and thought they would be able to show their style this time, also felt a little powerless at this time.

Because they suddenly found that the strangeness of the opponent they faced this time was far from being dealt with by simple bows, crossbows and cannons.

"Pass the message on. It's useless to cover it up now. It's better to let everyone be vigilant." Huang Liang said slowly.

"Also, let everyone hang up all the lighting immediately and try to make sure there are no blind spots in the entire camp." Liang Xin'an suddenly said at this time.

Sorry, the update is late today!
