Chapter 66: The village was attacked

Dark night, silent mountain top.

The city wall made of broken boulders looked like a huge black dragon crawling on the open space on the top of the mountain from afar in such a late night.

Zuo Feng carefully hid his body behind a tree, and spread his mind to carefully explore every part of the city wall. His eyes were no longer of much use at this time, so he simply closed his eyes tightly, so that he could better concentrate on sensing all the slightest movement on the city wall.

But after a quarter of an hour, Zuo Feng felt a little tired again. Such non-stop and careful exploration was still a bit too much for him now. But he was sure that there was no trace of life fluctuation on the city wall.

After a little hesitation, Zuo Feng had made a decision and quickly rushed out from behind the tree and flew all the way close to the ground. The place where he was hiding was the edge of a jungle on the top of the mountain. There was an open area a few dozen meters ahead, and it was difficult to find a cover to hide his figure.

Zuo Feng had to lower his body as much as possible, and his knees almost touched his chest slightly when he raised his legs and took a step. If you stand on the city wall and look down, you can vaguely see a black figure like a whirlwind, turning left and right in a curve towards the city wall.

This way of moving forward, if someone suddenly appears on the city wall, it is difficult to lock it with a bow and arrow. Although it has been confirmed that there should be no one on the city wall, after experiencing the previous changes, Zuo Feng dare not be careless.

Soon he came to the bottom of the city wall. The city wall was only about three or four feet high. He did not dare to go through the city gate blatantly, so he could only climb up the city wall carefully. Fortunately, the stones used to build the city wall were of different sizes, which inevitably had gaps to climb. With Zuo Feng's skills, he had reached the top of the city wall in just a few breaths.

He carefully exposed half of his head and looked up the city wall. After finding that there was no one, he took a breath and jumped up. His feet landed on the rough city wall with almost no sound. After landing, Zuo Feng immediately bent down and looked around. He immediately saw two bodies lying on the ground not far away.

Zuo Feng moved his feet gently to the two bodies. The bodies already had a faint stench of decay, and it seemed that they had been dead for a few days. Judging from their dress, they should be the bandits responsible for guarding the mountain stronghold. After checking the surrounding environment, no signs of fighting were found, which means that the two were ambushed and killed while on guard.

Seeing this, and thinking of the bandit bodies hanging on the wooden stakes outside Zuojia Village, Zuo Feng has become more certain of his previous guess.

After walking around the city wall for a while, a total of six bodies with the same death were found. Seeing that there were no other clues, Zuo Feng did not waste time here. Zuo Feng took a look at the layout inside the city wall, determined the direction, and floated down from the city wall.

It would take some effort to climb up the wall, but if he jumped down from here, Zuo Feng was still very confident. He just picked a protruding stone in the middle, and after a buffer, he landed safely on the ground.

After landing, Zuo Feng immediately flashed into a small house that he had been optimistic about before. As soon as he entered the house, Zuo Feng smelled a rotten corpse.

Zuo Feng chose to enter this small house first for his purpose. The small house is close to the wall, and it looks like it should be used for rest after the guards on the wall take turns. From the window of the small house, you can clearly see the other three directions, so that if there is any change, Zuo Feng can also find it in the first time.

These are all planned by Zuo Feng in a short time after he came to the city and saw the arrangement below. He firmly believes that only by being careful can he live for a long time. After all, his cultivation is not high and his experience is not rich. Then he needs to rely on his own calm analysis and careful behavior to survive in this harsh environment. This is what he thinks and does.

After a simple inspection in the house, there was nothing else except three bodies. Judging from the way these three people died, they should have been killed in their sleep. Zuo Feng's mind had already emerged that these three people had just returned from their shifts and had just fallen asleep when several gray figures sneaked into the house and killed them silently.

All three were killed with one knife and the knife was clean and neat. Obviously, they were veterans in this field. Judging from their wounds, they should be the same as the six people on the city wall. To be able to kill these people without knowing it, the killer's cultivation must be not low, at least he must have the strength of the muscle tempering period.

After observing from the window for a while and using telekinesis to explore, Zuo Feng went out of the hut to make sure that no one was lurking in the dark. After checking several houses in succession, the people in the house were basically killed in their sleep, so Zuo Feng did not check as carefully as before. It seems that the people here should have been killed, and the killer should have left for quite some time.

After jumping onto the roof, Zuo Feng looked at the surrounding buildings carefully again. A courtyard that was several times larger than other houses appeared in his sight. He knew very well that this should be the place where the leader of this group of bandits was. If there was anything else to be discovered, it would probably be here.

After jumping off the roof, Zuo Feng released all his speed and arrived outside the wall of the manor in just a few breaths. The wall of the manor was not too high. He slightly exerted his strength on the soles of his feet and stepped hard. His body shot towards the top of the wall like an arrow. He only paused for a moment on the top of the wall, saw the largest house in the manor, and quickly rushed towards this house.

This is a two-story building, about the same size as the building where the young lady of the city lord's mansion lives, but it looks a little simple and rough. As soon as he stepped into the hall of the small building, he was hit by a strong smell of blood, accompanied by a stench that made Zuo Feng feel nauseous.

Looking around, there was no intact furniture in the hall, and the walls and pillars around were also covered with traces of fighting and blood splattered on them. At this moment, the blood had already turned into dark brown blood scabs. It seems that they were not able to successfully assassinate here as before, and the bandits fought desperately here.

Walking into the hall, Zuo Feng carefully looked for a place to stay, because there were corpses and broken limbs everywhere. Zuo Feng endured the strong smell of blood and stench around him, and walked into the hall while carefully checking everything on the ground.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank slightly, and he ran to a corner of the wall and grabbed a dagger from a bloody corpse. Although the style of the dagger looked very ordinary, Zuo Feng's eyes immediately became solemn after he slowly took out a dagger from his bosom and put the two together.

In his right hand was a delicately shaped dagger, which came from the package of Xiao Liuzi, whom he had killed before. Although the dagger in his left hand had a pale metallic luster on the surface, it was still vaguely recognizable that the two were almost the same, except that the blade of the dagger in the left hand was a little thinner.

'It should be the weapon used by that group of people, but the iconic double blood grooves on the sword were scraped off. ' Zuo Feng made a conclusion in his heart. At this moment, he was almost certain that everything here was done by the group of gray-clothed people. Being able to determine the identity of the murderer, Zuo Feng's trip was worthwhile.

Following the traces of the fight, Zuo Feng continued to walk inside. The corpses here were getting fewer and fewer, but it could be seen that the intensity of the fight was not only not weakened but even more intense.

'It seems that several masters in the bandits are desperately trying to protect something and prevent these killers from rushing into the back room. ’

When a corpse leaning against the wall appeared in front of Zuo Feng, Zuo Feng was also slightly stunned. Because this person's whole body has turned purple, his eyes are bulging outwards, but there is very little blood on his body.

Zuo Feng has seen this state after death before, which is the result of using violent disintegration. Zuo Feng guessed that this bandit should have a high level of cultivation, and he was willing to use violent disintegration to stop people, so he became more interested in the inner room.

He walked inside again. There were no more corpses here, and the traces of fighting were gradually decreasing. This shows that the remaining warriors are relatively weak and can no longer stop the killer's pace. Soon Zuo Feng entered the inner room, where there was a storage room similar to a study, and a staircase leading to the second floor.

After a little hesitation, Zuo Feng chose to go to the second floor first, because the traces of fighting extended upwards to the second floor, and it seemed that the killer's target should be on the second floor. Zuo Feng came to the corridor on the second floor after a few leaps and bounds. He found that the area of ​​the second floor was much smaller than that of the first floor. It seemed that the second floor was the bedroom of the owner of the small building.

Entering the largest room, there was no sign of fighting inside. Instead, it seemed that someone was looking for something and it was very messy. After searching carefully, Zuo Feng did not find anything, so he went to the second room.

The layout and decoration of the second bedroom were obviously that of a woman's boudoir. Zuo Feng recalled carefully that he had not found a woman's body from the time he entered the hall downstairs to this place, so this represented a message. This mountain stronghold, or more precisely, this building, had female survivors. After searching the remaining rooms, Zuo Feng found that there was more than one female bedroom on the second floor.

This should be the residence of the leader of the bandits. If these female boudoirs were not his wife and concubine's rooms, they should be his daughter's rooms. He did not find any female bodies, so it was possible that these women had escaped from here. Could it be that the killers were targeting these women? Zuo Feng felt that this possibility was not very high.

He returned to the first floor again and entered the study-like room that he had not entered before. It was hard for him to imagine that a bandit leader could recognize a few words and actually had such a large study.

A male corpse in a brocade robe was lying in the corner, with his eyes wide open and an expression of shock. Zuo Feng just glanced at it with disgust and focused his attention on other objects in the room.

The books in the study were thrown everywhere, and the desk was also a mess. Zuo Feng just took a rough look and didn't find anything special, so he was ready to leave immediately.

But just as he turned around, he suddenly stopped and took a closer look at the corpse in the brocade robe again. Then his eyes slightly focused and looked at the position of the corpse's fingers.
