The lake outside the guest house was instantly reddened by the fire. From the side facing the lake, you can see the magnificent flames in the sky like sunset.
Among the hundreds of guests who were still in the guest house, how many people were quietly observing the lake. More than one person was restless and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to do something, or at least go and see the excitement, but most people just He suppressed his eagerness to move and chose to remain on the sidelines.
There is no way, fishing has been going on in the lake these days. Not only were the stupid fish that jumped out of the lake stewed, but even the ordinary fish that couldn't resist the temptation were caught cleanly. What was left was just the friendly fish on the side of the hook. The melon fish that are not interested in eating the bait are just the melon fish that are afraid to eat the bait when they see it.
The fire burned so fiercely that the guest house was silent for a while, which disappointed those including Wang Fei who were secretly prepared to use heavy blows to maintain order.
However, this is just because the situation is unclear now, and there are many people who are cautious. It is hard to say what the situation will be like in the guest house once chaos breaks out.
Especially the disciples of Zhuoyu Villa who are staying here know that the guest house is really empty now.
Where the flames started, it was already a mess.
The ferocious beasts are roaring, phantoms are flying around, smoke is spreading across the sky, and flames are surging into the sky. The place between water and fire has become a chaotic battlefield. Having completed their first mission, the turtle pirates and water ghosts immediately drew their weapons, intending to join forces with Shi Chunqing's raiding party and engage in a real fight with Zhuoyu Villa's counterattack.
However……
Where is Shi Chunqing's team?
"It's so quiet."
Hua Qian gently emerged from the water and had this idea.
It was the deepest part of the night, and everything was quiet under the water. It was impossible to see everything outside the water. I wonder if this was the Zhuoyu Villa that Mrs. Huarong often mentioned?
Although you can take a breather after coming out of the underground river and take a few breaths of fresh air in the mountains, it is far from time to relax. Shi Chunqing adjusted the team in the water, and the queue still moved forward in order. No one dared to disturb the order, so Hua Qian could only follow the order.
He already understood in his heart that at this point, it no longer mattered whether he could exert his combat effectiveness. The mission had been completed. The key was whether the message just sent was received.
The communication device was given to him by Wei Se for emergency communication. It is said that Zhuoyu Villa itself has a magical device that can flexibly communicate instantly during experiments, but it is newly developed, unstable, and prone to malfunction in some closed and remote places, so the one Wei Se gave him was relatively An old-fashioned and time-tested magic weapon, it can only send out a signal once, but it is stable enough and almost never misses. Only after sending the letter, the person who sent the letter did not get a response, and he felt unsure.
It was even more worrying to see the silence in Zhuoyu Villa, like an unsuspecting prey.
But Hua Qian also understood that when hunters ambush their prey, they themselves also stay quiet.
It is not yet known who is the prey and who is the hunter.
Shi Chunqing led the people to dive all the way, landed next to the big bluestone in Gongyu Pavilion, and moved forward in the dark. It was late at night when the tide was low, and a large bluestone was exposed out of the water. There was a person as tall as Shi Chunqing, who happened to be similar in height. He walked around the bluestone and disappeared.
Attacking the Jade Hall is attacking the Jade Hall, not a sword furnace, and it does not have the conditions to make swords. Xue Xianyun made swords elsewhere. Of course Shi Chunqing knew where to find the black tiger's heart.

After landing on the shore - actually a wooden plank road built next to the swamp - Shi Chunqing's movements were not as fast and firm as in the water, but moved forward unhurriedly, suppressing the speed and looking left and right. , as if looking for something.
Are you looking for the support troops brought by the escort?
Hua Qian guessed, and was a little surprised: Why didn't we see the troops guarding the army? Others didn't know it, but he knew that there was indeed such a group of people. Those people had already broken into pieces and smuggled into Zhuoyu Villa in batches and at different times according to different identities. Shi Chunqing also sent a signal to inform them. At this time, they should unite together as planned. Why isn't there even a shadow?
Shouldn't he create chaos first and let Shi Chunqing complete his plan of seizing the east and attacking the west? What if we set a fire?
Is it true that as Shi Chunqing said, the people here have been wiped out by Zhuoyu Villa long ago and there is no hope at all?
If so... Hua Qian's eyes moved behind Shi Chunqing:
Wouldn't we just kill him and then we're done?
Just as he was making a move, Shi Chunqing suddenly groped around the river, and then lifted up a transparent curtain out of thin air like a door curtain.
brush--
The scenery before my eyes changes!
The originally empty sky suddenly changed. Dots of lights appeared not far away. It turned out that there were houses built along the plank road by the lake. Although they could not be seen clearly in the dark, they could still vaguely see their own characteristics. No matter how strange it is, they are real houses inhabited by people.
He tore off a layer of disguise and came from the wilderness to the human world in an instant.
However, what stunned Hua Qian the most was that not far from these houses, there was a tall tower like a stone pillar standing. The top of the tower was burning with blue-white flames. The flames were so quiet that they were definitely not arson. ", but the high-temperature flames that only appear during real smelting.
Sword furnace? Is that a sword furnace?
The majestic sword furnace, the key to the success of sword-making, a thorn in the eyes and flesh of countless people, was just built on the waterside in such a grand manner? Just such a layer of blindness to cover up? Can you get there by walking? Still burning a fire all the time, telling those uneasy and well-intentioned people day and night that this is the sword furnace they want to destroy?
Is Zhuoyu Villa too brave?
After so many days, haven’t you been pushed down? Are these turtle bandits too incompetent?
Hua Qian's shock was actually no different from that of the others. The others were also shocked, but their stances were different, but they all had one suspicion: Why did they need to specifically touch it? What on earth are the guards doing who have spent so much money and sacrificed so much to go up the mountain?
Shi Chunqing said nothing and led the team towards the sword furnace. The team was full of capable people, walking on the uneven wooden plank road without making any sound.
Seeing that the boardwalk has reached the end, there is a tidal flat in front of it. Suddenly, countless thunderbolts burst out from the water!
No one knows where the thunder and lightning come from. It seems that thousands of thunder snakes are dormant under the calm water, but they are stirred up by a small stone. Once stirred, it is like a thunderous force!
Thunder and lightning started in the water, covering the swamp in an instant. Seen from the sky, the dark lake suddenly turned blue-purple. The thunder snake climbed up along the boardwalk at a speed that the naked eye could not catch, and rushed towards the people on the boardwalk.
At this moment, even Hua Qian was panicked - thunder and lightning can't see, so he can't tell who is the spy!
However, almost at the same moment, Shi Chunqing moved. He poured a jar of liquid that he had prepared earlier onto the boardwalk. The boardwalk seemed to be covered with a layer of oil, and the oil was glowing with a dull light. The light is different from the thunder light. It is thinner, but like an insulating pad, it completely isolates the thunder light and electric light. Not even the misty water vapor wrapped in the lightning could penetrate the oily light. The group was at least absolutely safe in front of them.
Of course Hua Qian didn't know what this layer of oily light was, but that kind of light was familiar to him, as if it was a phantom?
Although Phantom is soft, it is not a liquid after all. Could that jar be Phantom sauce?
It seems that the Phantom does not conduct electricity.
Under the protection of the light blanket, Shi Chunqing was safe and sound. He pulled out a sword with his backhand and said loudly: "Is this Junior Brother Jiang here?"
With this real sound, a person descended from the sky, but he was sitting on a very vivid thunderbird. His face was pale when reflected by the lightning, and his sword eyebrows were raised, and he shouted: "Shi Chunqing, you are really here?! You are actually here?" Do you still have the nerve?"
Shi Chunqing said with a dull expression: "Since you are waiting for me here, you should have known that I would come. It seems that you have done a good job. Zhuoyu Villa is very peaceful and there is no trace of damage. Everyone else has been dismissed by you, right? ? Lifting weights with ease, very methodical. What methods are used? Who is in charge of the overall situation? You guys are too impetuous, let alone him. I think it should be Junior Brother Tang, right?"
He asked a series of questions to himself, but Jiang Shenyi could not answer. With an excited expression, he stood up on the Thunderbird and shouted: "Why did you betray Master? Why did you betray us?"
Shi Chunqing looked at the sword furnace from a distance and said: "Junior brother Tang is still forging swords in the sword furnace? As expected of our little genius, he can forge swords after only a few years here. This year's sword forging should be successful, right?"
Being ignored by him, Jiang Shenyi was so angry that his eyes turned red and he asked again word for word: "Why did you betray us?"
Shi Chunqing finally withdrew his gaze, turned to look at him, and said: "It's okay for him to ask me this question. If Junior Brother Tang asked me, I would also be willing to explain it to him seriously. But if you... or other juniors ask me, but It's funny. How can you and I use the word betrayal?"
Jiang Shenyi was stunned by him. Just as Shi Chunqing said, there was no talk of friendship, only kindness. Shi Chunqing had always been kind to him, not gainful, so there was no betrayal. If he really wanted to settle the matter, he should not ask about betrayal, but should ask:
"Why did you abandon us?"
However, at this moment, he could not say such words, so he suppressed his excitement and glared at him: "Why did you betray your mentor? You took away his life and treasure and forced him to heartbreak, and now you have If you bring such a thief up to destroy his forged sword, do you have to kill him? Are you still a human being?"
Shi Chunqing paused and said in a calm tone: "Although we have parted ways, I don't want him to die. I am here today for his own good. It is best not to forge his sword. If it is forged, it will not end well." I took away his sword-making materials to save him, but I didn't expect him to be stubborn, so I had to do it again, and this time I would never allow him to make swords."
Seeing Jiang Shenyi opening his mouth to ask, Shi Chunqing said: "Don't ask, you don't understand even if I tell you. Now I go to see him, he may understand. If Tang Zhao was here, he might have guessed it by himself without me." Come on."
Jiang Shenyi was so angry that he was trembling all over, and gritted his teeth and said: "How can I let you go? I want you to disturb him when he forges a sword? If you don't want to say it, then go to hell!"
In an instant, the lightning exploded again!
