Chapter 6: In Danger

Zuo Peng intentionally moved closer to Zuo Feng and whispered, "Teng Li's team set out the day before yesterday and should have returned to the village yesterday at the latest. I heard that they were going to investigate the situation in the neighboring village this time. The hunting group has already allocated some personnel to search for them, and most of the members are responsible for the defense of the village, so the young team will also go into the mountains to help expand the search range."

Zuo Feng moved back with disgust, not understanding why the other party had to get so close and speak in a low voice. But he was worried about Teng Li's safety and didn't bother to think about it.

"Then who will I be in the same group with and what position will I be responsible for."

"You just need to explore the Grand Canyon in Dongshan. If there is no special situation, you should be able to come back before dinner."

"Only me?"

"Yes, there are not enough people now. You are the strongest among us, and I believe you will have no problem. This is for you. I think you know how to use it."

Zuo Peng took out a bamboo tube and handed it over directly. Zuo Feng subconsciously reached out to take it. The small bamboo tube in his hand was a firework signal cannon made by the village itself. It can call companions by sound during the day, and at night it can explode in the air to let people know the exact location of the person who fired the signal cannon.

When Zuo Feng looked up again, he saw Zuo Peng's hurried departure, without even saying hello. His attitude was completely different from when he first saw him.

Although he was puzzled, Zuo Feng did not think much about it. He put the signal cannon in his arms and left the village to the east without delay.

Zuojia Village is located in the southeast of Ye Lin Empire. Ye Lin Empire is mainly mountainous, and the Tianping Mountains surround the periphery of the empire like a barrier. The inner area of ​​the Tianping Mountains is also called the human restricted area because there live the most terrifying existence on the continent, the monster.

Standing on the top of a small hill, Zuo Feng stared at the northern sky, and a mountain range like a barrier stretched across the end of the sky. The mountains seemed to be lingering in clouds and mist all year round, making it impossible to see the whole picture. Zuo Feng knew clearly that it was the forbidden area for humans, the Tianping Mountains.

Although he often moved in the jungle, it was always the most accurate to rely on the Tianping Mountains to determine the direction.

Zuo Feng frowned and looked at a gorge a few miles away. As long as he passed through it, he would reach his destination. But since he climbed this hill, he always felt a sense of fear. At first, he thought that he was too worried about Teng Li's safety, but after calming down and thinking about it, it didn't seem to be this reason.

Just as Zuo Feng lowered his head and pondered, a "rustling" sound came from the bushes behind him.

Zuo Feng immediately took a vigilant fighting posture, but secretly cursed himself for being too careless. Through the sound just now, he had judged that the other party was only four or five feet away from him.

In the mountainous area, there are many wild beasts and wild beasts. Not to mention that he is a warrior of the fourth level of strong body, even a warrior who has reached the muscle hardening stage will only die if surrounded by wild beasts.

Judging from the sound, the other party's movement speed is extremely fast, and Zuo Feng's whole body is getting more and more tense.

Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out from behind the bushes. When their eyes met, the two figures stood there in a state of alertness, and then laughed at each other.

After a while, Zuo Feng rubbed his aching belly and pointed at the person opposite him.

"You stinky monkey, do you want to scare people?"

The person who came was Zuo Hou, one of Zuo Feng's very few friends.

"Dead lunatic, it seems that you are the one who waited here to scare me, and you are the first to complain to me."

Zuo Hou waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about other things first. Do you know that we are both in danger now?"

Zuo Feng was slightly stunned and asked anxiously, "Danger, what dangerous place."

Sighing softly, Zuo Hou quickly said, "Before this operation, I saw the two brothers Zuo Cheng and Zuo Peng sneaking around, so I secretly eavesdropped on their conversation. Because the distance was a little far, I only heard a few words, 'Ambush is ready', 'East', 'Never come back'."

After a pause, he said, "I didn't understand it at first What are they talking about? Not long after I set out with the team, I saw you walking east alone. Only then did I realize that this might be a conspiracy against you, but unfortunately I couldn't catch up with you. "

Glancing at Zuo Feng helplessly, Zuo Hou sighed and continued: "From their clothes, we can vaguely judge that they are the bandits from Jinyan Mountain. Since we entered this mountain, we have been surrounded by them. Moreover, these hills in the east are not within the scope of this search, and the villagers will not know that we are in danger here. "

After hearing this, Zuo Feng was stunned at first, and then he quickly climbed up a big tree next to him. After a few breaths, he had reached the top of the tree. They were at the top of the mountain at the moment, and standing on the top of the tree, they could see everything within a dozen miles.

When Zuo Feng jumped down from the tree, his face became extremely heavy, and his gratitude and guilt were visible at a glance. Although he couldn't see how many people there were, he was sure that what Zuo Hou said was true.

Zuo Hou obviously knew there was an ambush here, but he still followed resolutely for his own sake. Although Zuo Feng had a thousand words to say, it seemed that all his words were so powerless at this moment.

Zuo Hou seemed to see through his thoughts, smiled and shook his head, and said: "Let's not talk about anything else between you and me, and quickly think of a way to escape, which is the top priority."

Zuo Feng nodded gently and looked around. Just now, he roughly looked around the situation. The enemy's arrangement was to encircle on three sides, leaving only the east direction leading to the canyon without a single person.

Judging from their arrangement, it was obvious that they wanted to capture him alive in the canyon. As for why the enemy went to such great lengths to capture him alive, it was not a headache at the moment. Although the enemy is moving slowly, it is estimated that they will reach the top of the mountain in a matter of seconds.

The constant approaching enemies caused huge pressure, which made Zuo Feng extremely calm at this moment. His eyes were constantly searching around him, looking for anything that could be used, and his hands were groping around the package and inside his arms.

Suddenly, Zuo Feng's eyes lit up. He reached out and took out a small bamboo tube from his arms. This was the message gun Zuo Peng gave him to use to contact his companions before leaving.

After listening to Zuo Hou's story, he already knew that there were no other companions in the village in this direction. If you sound the alarm in a critical moment, not only will no reinforcements come, but it will accelerate your own demise.

Zuo Feng, who was thinking quickly, had already figured this out when he took out the letter cannon. At the same time, he also sketched out an escape plan in his mind, using exactly this weapon that was originally used to plot against himself.

Seeing the confusion on Zuo Hou's face, Zuo Feng knew that there was no time to explain now. The enemy was getting closer and closer.

Find a dead branch on the ground, wind the cannon's fuse around it, then stand the cannon firmly on the ground and light the other end of the dead branch.

In the blink of an eye a few more times, Zuo Feng completed this series of actions, pulled Zuo Hou, who looked confused, and ran towards the canyon.

Two thin figures were crawling behind a huge rock, with only half of their heads exposed, looking towards the top of the mountain. Almost as soon as they had concealed themselves, the sharp sound of cannons suddenly sounded.

In the silent mountain forest, this sudden sound seemed extremely harsh. The two of them held their breath and lay motionless on the boulder, watching the figures swaying in the distance as countless figures gathered towards the top of the mountain.

There are actually thirty enemies in number, and their cultivation levels are all at the late stage of physical strengthening and early stage of muscle tempering. Because the two of them were relatively close, Zuo Feng could feel Zuo Hou's body shaking slightly.

He knew very well that if this group of people discovered where the two of them were hiding, it would be a joke to escape. He quickly thought over his plan in his mind.

‘There should be no loopholes and no mistakes. This is the only hope for the two of us to escape. ’

Until he saw the group of people leaving quickly in the direction from which the three came, Zuo Hou let out a long sigh of relief. Just as he was about to sit up, Zuo Feng quickly held him down.

Three figures suddenly appeared on the deserted mountain top. They observed the surroundings for a while before quietly leaving.

Zuo Feng glanced at Zuo Hou beside him and said with a smile: "This time, he should really leave."

"Huh, these people are really careful. If you hadn't caught me in time, our behavior would have been exposed."

"I just kept a cautious eye. I didn't expect them to be so cautious."

Zuo Hou looked at Zuo Feng with admiration. He could no longer control the doubts in his heart and asked.

"How do you know they will go in those three directions?"

Zuo Feng had long known that he would ask, so he calmly said it.

"When they saw me sounding the signal cannon, they were sure that their group had been exposed. When they arrived at the top of the mountain and found no one there, they would first think that they were in a hurry when they went up the mountain and did not notice that we were hiding behind them. on the road, so they will search carefully on the way there. ”

Zuo Hou was still a little confused after hearing this, and continued to ask: "Don't they think we are heading towards the canyon?"

Zuo Feng smiled slightly, and patiently explained to this good brother.

"Their arrangement is to let me enter the valley. Since they think I have seen through their plan, they will not be stupid enough to continue going to the valley. They will only think that we are hiding in the other three directions. They are eager to reach the top of the mountain. We have missed our travel treasure, so of course we are eager to look back now.”

Zuo Hou nodded seriously, and when he looked at Zuo Feng again, he was already in admiration. The young man in front of him is not only a genius with amazing training speed, but also an extremely intelligent and thoughtful person.

"Then what do we do next."

Zuo Hou said without hesitation the question he wanted to ask most at the moment.

"Go to the canyon."

After Zuo Feng finished speaking, he ignored the shocked Zuo Hou and took the lead in turning back towards the east canyon.
