In a huge tent of the Sword Tiger Tribe, Tuomu walked back and forth, looking at the old man sitting high above him from the corner of his eye. This has been the past two hours, and the old man has not said anything. What is even more strange is that there is no movement outside the tent.
At this point, he couldn't help but said: "Father, Brother Cheng is my guest after all, isn't this a bad thing?"
The old man secretly sighed in his heart, this boy is good at everything, but his temper is too hot-tempered, not even half as good as mine. He has been paying attention to the situation outside the tent. The master is not in a hurry, but you are so impatient!
That's all, if the people outside don't have any problems, the kid in front of me will probably make a fool of himself even more. The old man coughed dryly and said calmly: "Okay, let him come in!"
Tuomu was overjoyed and hurriedly turned around and walked outside the tent. Unexpectedly, as soon as they got out of the tent, they were all in vain. Cheng Ling had long disappeared. Not only that, even Yin Luoyao, Zhang Hu and others were missing.
He quickly grabbed the guard on the side and asked, "Where is Brother Cheng? Did you do anything to him?"
The guard hurriedly said: "I don't dare. This is what the person just left. He said that he would hand it over to King Youxian after he comes out."
Takumu was stunned and took a piece of leather-like object handed over by the guard. He was confused when he saw many lines and arrows drawn on it. Then he asked the guard: "You watched him leave, which way did he go?"
The guard said: "Just follow this river and go south."
Takumu hurriedly chased towards the south, but after two steps he stopped and his mind raced, and finally he returned to the tent with the leather pattern.
Seeing him turning around alone, the old man asked doubtfully: "What? Your friend still wants to make excuses?"
Tuomu smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if it's a show, but he asked me to hand it over to you!"
After saying that, he handed over the leather map.
The old man took it and glanced at the map inadvertently. But after these few glances, his expression suddenly became cautious. He stood up, hung the map on the back of the seat, and walked down to look at the map carefully.
Takumu's eyes flashed with surprise and some curiosity. Brother Cheng's method was absolutely amazing. The old man always had his sights set high, and he didn't expect that a mere map could make him stand up on his own initiative.
He didn't dare to disturb him, but he moved closer unnaturally, trying to understand what was drawn on the map.
On the other side, Cheng Ling led everyone to the south.
Wu Tianfeng said angrily: "This right king is simply too arrogant. He kept us idle for two hours. It is conceivable that if he really joins the Sword Tiger Tribe, he will have even more excessive demands in the future. Junior Brother Cheng, we It’s better to act on your own!”
Yin Luoyao also consoled her: "Yes, Junior Brother Cheng. We have overcome all difficulties and obstacles along the way. There is no need to join forces with them. We can also help you rescue your wife."
Cheng Ling laughed and said: "Senior Sister, Third Senior Brother, thank you very much! Don't worry, I didn't take it to heart at all. I just left a map for King Youxian. If he can understand it, he will definitely ask for Tuomu again." Invite us back, if you don’t understand, don’t cooperate!”
The two of them were stunned for a moment, a little confused, and asked: "Then why did you take us away."
"If you don't leave, do you still want to live in King Youxian's tent? This is called early preparation. Besides, Zhang Hu and Yingjie have to adapt to the way of heaven on the Demon Spirit Continent. We also need a place to stay. .And the south is the best choice.”
"
Why? "
"The demon spirits in the south should not be very strong, and are much different from the other three directions. If we settle there, we can protect ourselves, and we can also kill the demon spirits to increase our physical strength. Remember, no matter when and where , one’s own strength is the greatest guarantee.”
"What exactly did you draw for King Youxian?"
"Nothing, just some inferences I made from observing the way the tents are set up. If he is really talented and strategic, he will definitely understand. If you invite me over then, you will have some negotiating capital. So, we must leave first. "
Zhang Hu chuckled, stepped forward and said: "Master, you won't dig another hole for others, just jump into it!"
When everyone heard this, they all smiled knowingly.
Cheng Ling kicked him and scolded him with a smile: "You brat, you know me well after working with me for so many years. Please recover quickly, practice hard, and try to catch up as soon as possible."
"Yes, master!"
The group of people chatted and laughed, and soon left the tent area and came to the edge of the grassland. Cheng Ling turned to Ye Qiuhe and said, "Junior Sister Ye, think of a way to see if you can exchange a few tents and some daily necessities from those tribesmen."
Ye Qiuhe nodded and greeted Jin Yanrong and Lu Xueqi. Along the way, they killed countless demon spirits and stored a lot of meat. Knowing that their combat power was inferior, Ye Qiuhe and the three girls took the initiative to share the logistics and were responsible for carrying these supplies.
Fortunately, their physical strength has also made great progress. The demon corpses are processed and dried and made into strips, which is easy to carry and does not affect the taste. It is very simple to trade with the aborigines.
The corpse of a demon spirit is different from the meat of other monster beasts. Although it is dead, it still contains a huge amount of energy. An ordinary person only needs a small piece to sustain consumption throughout the day.
Yin Luoyao asked: "Junior brother Cheng, are you planning to set up a tent here?"
"That's right, our group can't sleep on the grassland! I hope they can exchange for a few more tents. Senior sister, let's discuss our future actions now."
"Well, that's what I have in mind! We must explore the location of Wuying Tower. If the Sword Tiger Tribe refuses to support us, we will go there on our own."
Cheng Ling said: "Don't worry, they will agree. We don't know what kind of strength Wuying Tower has at all, and we can't act rashly for the time being. The most important thing at the moment is to strengthen our own strength, and to find ways to obtain clues to the Demon Spirit Plain."
"Demon Spirit Plains?"
"Yes, both Lan Feng and Tuomu reveal the mystery of the Demon Spirit Plain in their words. If we want to leave the Demon Spirit Continent, we must break into it."
"Junior Brother Cheng, how did these people from the Shadowless Tower leave the Demon Spirit Continent? Can they freely enter and exit the Demon Spirit Plain?"
"I don't know about this, so the Shadowless Tower and the Demon Spirit Plain are the key. No matter what the purpose is, we have to find a way to find out."
After hearing this, everyone nodded silently.
Not long after, Ye Qiuhe and the others came back. As expected by Cheng Ling, the three of them got four tents.
Cheng Ling then made the decision. He and Wu Tianfeng lived in one apartment, Zhang Hu and Song Yingjie lived in another apartment, and the remaining two apartments were divided among the five women.
As night fell, several people cleaned up and prepared to rest. At this moment, Takumu arrived!
When he saw Cheng Ling, he first apologized and said, "Brother Cheng, why did you come out on your own? My father was temporarily negligent in handling trivial matters in the clan!"
Cheng Ling looked up to the sky and said haha, I will listen to whatever you say, and
No objection was raised.
Tuomu had no choice but to continue: "Brother Cheng, it's convenient now, could you please go there?"
Cheng Ling didn't want him to be in too much trouble, so he immediately said, "Then let's go!"
Tuomu was granted amnesty and hurriedly led him back.
This time there was no need to wait outside the tent. The guard guard walked directly into the tent as if he hadn't seen him.
Cheng Ling glanced around and saw that there was only one old man in the tent. He was squatting on the ground with his back turned, looking at the map he had drawn, motionless, as if he didn't even know that the two people had entered.
Tuomu took a step forward and was about to remind him of me, but was stopped by Cheng Ling. He shook his head slowly, moved his hands, closed his eyes, and just stood behind him without saying a word.
Takumu was secretly anxious, but the two people in the tent fell into silence, really not knowing what to do.
After about a cup of tea, the old man asked aloud: "Does your map imply that although our camps appear to be interconnected, they are actually full of mistakes?"
Cheng Ling opened his eyes and said calmly: "Yes, as long as you give me 20,000 troops, I can destroy the entire camp in an instant."
"Oh!" The old man finally turned around and shifted his gaze to Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling was also sizing him up, and saw that the old man had long, slightly gray hair, full hair, bright eyes, long and narrow eyebrows, and a pale face, but he did not look thin, but rather dignified.
He was wearing a fitted gray robe, with a belt made of unknown demon spirit bones clasped around his waist, with some bits and pieces hanging on it. When he turned around, there was only a slight ding-dong sound. His arms were slender, and he was very tall. He is half a head taller than Cheng Ling.
After a while, Cheng Ling was the first to bow and salute, and shouted: "Junior Cheng Ling, I have met King Youxian!"
The old man nodded slightly and said: "Young people have a good temperament, but they should not be arrogant. The setting of this camp is a typical tight outside and loose inside. Only 20,000 troops can break through the camp of my Youwang tribe. It is incredible."
When he said this, Cheng Ling immediately understood that the setting up of the camp was not done by the old man, but he had overestimated it. He smiled slightly and said, "If King Youxian doesn't believe it, how about we demonstrate it on this map?"
"Hmm, demonstration? This is interesting. What do you want to do?"
"It's very simple. As a junior, as long as King Youxian can get along with you and take targeted measures to stop his 20,000 troops and make it impossible for me to break through, you will win."
"How can I know if it can be realized if it is empty talk?"
"How about you listen? Please look at the lines and arrows on the map. They are actually very clearly drawn. Your camp seems to be airtight, but in fact there is a lack of connections in every direction. Just cut off these connections. , then it can point directly to your main account."
"To put it lightly, as long as I set up heavy troops on the way you are coming, not too many, I only need fifty thousand to stop your army."
"Haha, King Youxian, don't worry, I haven't finished yet. The method you mentioned can indeed be realized, but what if I divide the army into five parts, with four thousand troops in each direction, and launch an attack at the same time?"
"You can divide your troops, can't I?"
"Wise King, don't forget that you are the defender. The 50,000-strong army must be within the camp. The depth inside is too small. As long as the juniors arrange two teams to feint attack, and actually turn around and hit one place, they can partially The position creates an advantage, and when the strength of the troops is greatly different, how can we resist it based on the divided military formation?"
