Chapter 386 Three People Who Came Suddenly
"call--"
Li Zhi let out a long breath, which seemed to be filled with fatigue and worry accumulated over the past few days.
Ever since he knew that there might be a powerful monster ahead of them and that the team's water reserves were approaching the warning line, his face had been tense and he had never relaxed for a moment.
At this moment, his expression finally eased a little.
After several days of arduous journey day and night, they finally arrived at the oasis they had been pointing to.
"Captain Yang, please arrange some people to replenish the water supply as soon as possible." Li Zhi turned around and instructed Captain Yang.
"it is good!"
Captain Yang responded promptly, then turned around hurriedly, strode away, and quickly organized the soldiers to start the work of replenishing water.
Zhang Wenchu looked at Li Zhi and found that the worry in his eyes had not dissipated even though they had arrived at the oasis in time. He couldn't help but ask, "We have found a place to replenish water, but why do you still look so worried?"
Li Zhi shook his head slightly, his eyes full of worry, and said slowly: "The replenishment of water only solves the immediate problem. This is only the first step. Next, how to avoid the demon bird blocking the way is the real problem and the most important thing."
Zhang Wenchu frowned and tried to comfort him, "It may just happen to appear on our route. As long as we avoid it, there shouldn't be any big problems."
"I hope so."
Li Zhi murmured in a low voice, but the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger. He knew very well that this kind of uneasy feeling without any reason often foreshadowed something bad.
Just as Li Zhi was racking his brains, thinking about how to bypass the original route and leave the desert safely and as quickly as possible, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside.
Li Zhi frowned and walked quickly towards the source of the sound.
When he arrived at the scene, he saw the soldiers of the Qiongqi Camp standing on high alert, weapons tightly gripped in their hands and with vigilant looks on their faces.
In front of the soldiers stood three people.
The three men looked very similar, with a sense of vicissitudes between their eyebrows and eyes. Facing the threat from the Qiongqi Camp, they were not afraid at all and stood there with their heads held high.
When these three people saw Li Zhi and other people from the Night Patrol Division appear, their expressions instantly became extremely complicated, and there was an elusive emotion intertwined in their eyes.
Li Zhi's eyes were as fast as lightning as he quickly scanned the three people, and he keenly realized that they were all cultivators.
Although it is difficult to judge their strength at the moment, since they dare to openly confront the Qiongqi Camp, their strength must not be underestimated.
Li Zhi looked calm and asked in a deep voice, "I am Li Zhi from the Night Patrol of Yong State. I have been ordered to escort tribute to the Wei Dynasty. What do you think of this?"
The leader of the three looked older, with a meaningful smile on his face, which was full of meaning that Li Zhi couldn't figure out. He asked, "Which branch of the Night Tour Division do you belong to?"
Li Zhi was startled when he heard this, and his eyes flashed. This person even knew the divisions of the Night Tour Division, so it seemed very likely that he knew something about Yongguo, or even that they were from Yongguo.
Li Zhi clasped his fists and said, "I am the Night Travel Division Bing, belonging to the Earthly Branch!"
"Type C?"
The two people beside the older man couldn't help but exclaim when they heard it.
Following this exclamation, a touch of friendliness instantly appeared on their originally complicated faces, and a different kind of brilliance appeared in their eyes.
Li Zhi took in all of this and knew that they must have some kind of connection with the Night Tour Division C. So he asked, "Do you know anyone from my C?"
The older man smiled, but did not directly answer Li Zhi's question. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "I came here specifically to see you."
Li Zhi was getting more and more confused, and asked, "Why did you come to us? Please tell me clearly."
The man's face suddenly became serious, and he said solemnly: "There are many powerful monsters in this desert. One of them has set its sights on you..."
Li Zhi's face suddenly changed, and his pupils shrank slightly. He narrowed his eyes, stared at the man closely, and said word by word: "Oh? What kind of monster is that? Why is it targeting us? Since you know, why don't you tell me in detail."
The man opened his mouth, but as if he had thought of something, he suddenly changed his words and said, "What if I don't say it?"
Li Zhi pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a cold smile, and said: "If you don't want to say it, then I will have to invite you to talk inside..."
As they were talking, Zhang Wenchu, Duan Heng and the others understood what he meant and moved quickly in tacit understanding, forming a circle that surrounded the three people.
The meaning of Li Zhi and others was very clear. If they didn't make it clear, Li Zhi and others would not let the three of them leave easily.
The youngest of the three people saw this, curled his lips and muttered softly: "Big brother loves to stir up trouble. Look, they want to detain us."
As soon as he finished speaking, the older man in the lead stomped on the ground, causing it to crack instantly. He moved to the side like a black phantom.
And the next moment, the place where he was standing suddenly exploded, with sand and stones flying everywhere and dust filling the air.
In the smoke and dust, Nangong Wen slowly pulled out the silver spear that was stuck in the ground, the tip of the spear flashing with a cold light.
After the older man avoided Nangong Wen's fierce shot, he looked calm, as if nothing had happened, and moved in another direction again.
However, just as he stood firm, Duan Heng's attack came like a violent storm. Duan Heng swung the sword in his hand, bringing with it a whistling sound, and the flashing sword light made people shudder.
The older man seemed to have anticipated this. His figure was as elusive as a ghost, dodging the attacks of Nangong Wen and Duan Heng one after another.
Facing the sharp attack from Duan Heng and the others, he was not at all flustered. Instead, he smiled and said, "You attacked without even saying hello. Are the newbies in your Night Tour Division so reckless now?"
As he spoke, the two people behind him also attacked at the same time.
Their bodies were as fast as lightning. Just like the older man dodged the attack just now, they turned into phantoms and attacked Nangong Wen and Duan Heng swiftly.
However, before they could get close to Nangong Wen and Duan Heng, two hurricanes appeared out of nowhere without any warning, like two angry dragons, blocking them directly.
The hurricane howled and sand and rocks flew everywhere.
The two people who were stopped by the hurricane did not show any surprise on their faces, as if they were prepared for it.
The youngest person even said with a hint of regret: "Tsk, I thought I could fight with the descendant of the Gun King!"
Before he finished speaking, the hurricane in front of him suddenly exploded, and the powerful airflow spread in all directions, blowing the surrounding sand and stones into the sky.
Chen Hua's figure shot out like an arrow and pounced towards him. The speed was so fast that people didn't have time to react.
In the other hurricane, Jia Zhen's figure also appeared. His whole body was filled with scorching heat, which burned and deformed the air.
