I rely on you all to cultivate

Chapter 325 It's a Misfortune

Xu Ling crouched on a hill with his temporary attendant, observing the fire not far away from a distance.

It is a place where residents from the outer city live in groups. If you insist, it should be regarded as a village, but there is no one in the city to take care of their place, so it is not officially registered. It is nothing more than the locals themselves. Names like Dogland will do the trick.

At this moment, a house in the village was set on fire, but the fire was coming to an end. Xu Ling could tell that it was a masterpiece made with unstable incendiary bombs made by magic crystals.

The flames generated by this thing are extremely hot, and it is no wonder that a house can be burned down in such a short period of time.

However, due to its unstable characteristics, even the bumps in the process of marching at a constant speed have a small probability of automatically exploding, so even though the expeditionary force has captured and imitated it, it still has not put it into use.

A lot of people gathered in front of the burning house. Among them, the operatives of the Special Affairs Department were naturally easy to identify. They were neatly dressed and well-equipped.

Xu Ling thought to himself, sure enough, someone who can light a fire and play here in the middle of the night must not be a serious person.

Facing them, there were other people of the same number, who were naturally the aboriginals of this village. Their outfits were similar to those of the guides, and were closer to the original conditions of other tribes on the snowfield, even more crude.

After all, there are no God's Chosen among these people, and they can't even hunt monsters.

Xu Ling carefully distinguished the voices blowing from the cold wind at night, trying to hear what was going on over there, but could only hear some shouts and roars, all voices were covered by these emotional expressions.

But judging from the situation, people on both sides are not confronting each other, and they don't know what's going on.

"Uh, my lord, what's going on here?"

The guide asked with a low voice. He has now realized that Xu Ling is definitely not an ordinary person. According to the customs of the Immortal City, if you don't know, you can't be wrong.

Xu Ling glanced at him: "I still want to ask you. I thought they were looking for us, but it doesn't look like this. Otherwise, why burn your house?"

The guide took a deep breath, with the flames reflected in his eyes: "Probably for the purpose of illuminating."

"illuminate?!"

Xu Ling was surprised by this answer, "For the sake of lighting, they ordered a house?"

The people in this place don't have good conditions. The so-called houses are nothing more than a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Naturally, it is very simple, but even so, it is indeed a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and it is a home.

The tone of the guide did not fluctuate, and he continued: "We are used to it. Every time someone passes by, they may do something. There is no way, we don't even have weapons, and we can't even say that they are not people who can not destroy the city. Yes Some people even prefer to go outside to join those tribes through the protection zone of the cannon."

Xu Ling couldn't help asking, "Did they succeed?"

"Anyway, he never came back."

Xu Ling was silent for a moment, then brought the topic back to the situation in front of him: "Will they hurt people?"

"You know, in this place, even if you kill someone, it's not against the law. No, it's against the law in name, but no one cares about it. If their leader is a good person this time, maybe not." The guide's tone was a little bit dignified.

Xu Ling frowned, a little hesitant in his heart whether to take action to draw people away under such circumstances.

Theoretically speaking, he should not take any actions to expose himself. The people in the village are all strangers to him, they are passers-by who meet by chance, and ensuring the safety of Simon III is what he should care about.

However, if this group of operatives from the affairs department wanted to kill many innocent people, he had to carefully consider whether he should take the initiative to stand up at this time.

Forget it, let's observe the enemy's information first, know yourself and the enemy first, and see if you take action or not.

Xu Ling thought with some delay.

"70 to 80 people, no heavy weapons, no, four sniper rifles, the performance is unknown, there are God's Chosen, the highest combat power is about 6.0, and they have not been detected."

He habitually reported what he saw according to the observation requirements of the expeditionary army, but the guide beside him was immediately stunned.

"Sir, what did you say?"

"Oh it's all right."

Xu Ling also realized that the people around him were no longer members of Team Nine, which made him wonder how they would respond if they were here.

Xie Yilang must have directly clamored to rush forward, Luo Zhixing would most likely persuade everyone to calm down, Ning Qingshuang would only silently hold the epee in his hand after he made a decision, and be ready to attack at any time, but even if they have different personalities Different, no one would just sit idly by those innocent people.

"No, no, no, the situation is special now, and if you can't bear it a little, you will make a big mess."

Xu Ling is now taking on the task of defending the emperor alone, so he must be careful not to cause complications.

There are tens of hundreds of people on the other side, as well as mid-to-high-level God's Chosen, all equipped with magic crystal firearms.

At this time, the guide said: "My lord, can I take a closer look, my wife and children are there."

Xu Ling didn't know why he asked for his own opinion. The two of them were not subordinates. Maybe it was just because they lacked courage and wanted to find some confidence from the person next to them.

"Okay, get closer from the shady place."

He replied with his mouth, and began to convince himself in his heart: I did this for the purpose of scouting the enemy, to see if they found the trace of the emperor, not to fight against injustice, um, that's it.

The two followed the slope and obstacles to the back of the burning house, and the operators and villagers were on the other side, which made it difficult for them to be spotted.

At this time, Xu Ling also saw clearly that the people from the Special Affairs Department did not confront the villagers as a whole, but a villager who seemed not very old followed the obviously most powerful God's Chosen, while apologizing while nodding.

"I'll say it again, what I'm looking for is a foreigner, a very fat man, not here to catch thieves!"

The Chosen One was obviously a little impatient, "Has anyone seen it yet!"

Naturally, no one in the villagers spoke, not because they wanted to cover up a fat man they had never met, but because they had never seen one before.

At that time, the guide was also because he went to the fields to catch thieves, so he met a group of people who had run away from the road. I don't know if it was good luck or bad luck.

"You all listen."

And at this time, the chosen one is about to release his biggest trump card, "If anyone knows where he went and can provide clues, he can restore his identity as a resident of Immortal City."

Hearing this sentence, those people started to chatter and yell.

"I know, there are outsiders walking this way!"

"I saw him go that way."

The guide lying in the dark was sure that these neighbors and family members were lying, because he was the only person in the village who had seen the group of people where the emperor was, and he was worried that this obvious lie would be seen through.

But most people will not easily give up the qualification to return to the inner city.

But the people in the Special Affairs Department didn't know that they didn't have any expectations for these outsiders, and felt that even if their statements were contradictory, it might just be that someone didn't make it clear, so they began to listen carefully to what they had to say.

Xu Ling, who was hiding behind the house, also breathed a sigh of relief. It would be best if he could avoid conflicts. At least he didn't have to be in a dilemma about whether to expose himself or protect the locals.

However, he was always afraid of what would happen, and he was still relieved when he heard the leading God's Chosen ask.

"What? Someone hasn't come back? Who, where did he go?"

Xu Ling frowned. Obviously, someone mentioned the guide, which made him feel that it was inevitable.
