The Jisha City, which had been restless to begin with, became noisy again. Everyone seemed to have unspeakable anger in their hearts, and everything became a little restless.

"How can we find them? There is no one with an injured left arm."

"We are already exhausted, why do we suddenly have to investigate again?"

"Someone poisoned us. You saw it. The villagers all fell down. We must catch the mastermind behind this."

"If I had known...when would this end?"

"Hush... You don't want to live anymore? Deserters will be beheaded."

Fatigue and excessive tension turn people into powder kegs that can explode at any moment.

Yun Nian felt a little uneasy. Is this the purpose of Feiyu Tower?

But Zuo Mingyuan and Qi Ming had no better solution. Human hearts were not something that could be controlled arbitrarily. They could only catch the murderer who poisoned the people as soon as possible to calm everything down.

But the man stabbed by Yun Nian seemed to have disappeared from the spot. Although Jisha City was vast, it was extremely desolate. After a careful investigation, even an ant could be found.

"Still not?"

Fuqiu bit a branch and asked vaguely,

"No."

It's strange, where did the person hide? Or is there some secret passage that they don't know about?

Yun Nian thought of the various intricate tunnels she had seen in Feiyu Tower before. Maybe they were like rats, and liked to hollow out the entire town.

"boom!"

But she didn't have time to think. The sudden loud noise startled her. Zuo Mingyuan, who was beside her, immediately covered her ears with his hands and looked sharply in the direction where the sound came from.

"Boom! Boom!"

There were two more sounds, mixed with the sound of falling gravel. Yun Nian had already patted Lang Ya's shoulder.

"It's the city gate. We must get there as soon as possible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Mingyuan and Yun Nian walked out quickly, leaving only Fuqiu and the twins.

"Alas, why should I be so anxious? I am not from Da'an."

The girl in the yard grumbled a few times, hesitated for a moment, and then followed slowly.

"By the way, you guys just stay in there. I don't think the people in Da'an are crazy enough to want to send children to the battlefield, right?"

Lan Ying and Lu Xi looked at each other, then sat down nervously in the yard, looking towards the door, waiting for them to come back.

When Yun Nian reached the city wall, Qi Ming had already wiped his forehead and stood there with sweat all over his face.

"What happened?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another loud rumbling sound. Yellow sand mixed with dust flew up all of a sudden. The city wall shook violently, and people were almost unable to stand steadily.

When the yellow sand settled, Yun Nian looked outside and noticed the things outside.

Ke Luo's men came back again. This time, they were clearly well prepared. The group of mummies surrounded Ke Luo's soldiers, and behind them were several catapults.

They worked together to put huge stones on top and smashed them against the wall of Jisha City.

The golden flag spread out in the yellow sand. Yun Nian squinted his eyes and could only see a vague mark. It looked like a coiled snake, or like the scorpion ant he had seen before. It made people feel a trembling panic in their hearts.

"It's over. Why is he here? Hasn't he been in the south? Why would he give up the battlefield over there when only General Zuo can fight against him?"

Qi Ming shook his head, his face showing panic, but Zuo Mingyuan didn't know the identity of the person who came. He could only grab Qi Ming's hand and question him.

"Tell me clearly, who is this and why are you so scared?"

Not only Qi Ming, the soldiers behind him also seemed to be about to throw away their weapons and flee.

"It's... it's Che Lan. If Che Lan comes, how can we possibly defeat him?"

"Why? Wasn't Che Lan always in the east? How did he suddenly appear here? We are already weak in numbers. If we run into him, won't we be dead?"

There were even more terrifying words, but the soldiers didn't say them. Fuqiu, who came from behind, had an extremely ugly expression on her face. She rushed up from behind and tried to pull Yun Nian away.

"Go, this guy is not someone you can handle. I didn't expect the old man would be willing to send him out. Go!"

But Yun Nian did not move. Even though she was so petite and had little strength, Fuqiu could not pull her away.

"Fuqiu, who on earth is that? Why is he so scary?"

Yun Nian asked seriously. Fuqiu wanted to pull her away forcefully, but Zuo Mingyuan had already held her hand.

"You hurt Sisi, don't you know?"

Only then did she notice the red mark on her wrist. The bronze-skinned girl showed a trace of annoyance on her face.

Seeing Yun Nian's unblinking eyes, she could only sigh and then shift her gaze to the scarred man in the middle.

The man seemed to have seen them on the city wall, and he wiped his hand across his neck, provocatively.

"It's Che Lan, Che Lan's, Ke Luo's most terrifying weapon of war. It is said that he eats people every day, and if he doesn't eat people, he will go crazy."

Even in the case of Ke Luo and Che Lan, who do not treat people as human beings, they are still terrifying. They just enjoy taking advantage of people and like to see people suffer.

But Che Lan actually cooked and ate people. It is said that some people even saw him eating raw human flesh.

The scene described was so disgusting that Fuqiu frowned as she thought about it, not wanting Yun Nian to know.

"But why are they so frightened?"

Yun Nian was referring to the soldiers in Jisha City. Che Lan was a cannibal, but he couldn't have eaten everyone here, right?

"Of course, if he were alone, no matter how scary he was, he would still be powerless. But Che Lan is too weird. He has many wild beasts as captives. You have seen them before."

Seen it?

Yun Nian's eyes widened suddenly. The only beast she knew was that one...

"You mean, the kind in the cave?"

When she saw the woman in front of her nodded, her heart sank to the bottom.

One is enough to give people a headache. According to Fuqiu's words, Che Lan may have many more monsters like this.

"Che Lan is well known to the people of Jisha City because many years ago, he sneaked into Jisha City alone and ate many children overnight. When the people in the city woke up in the morning, they saw... such a tragic scene."

"The general doesn't allow us to spread these things, but here, no secrets can be hidden."

Qi Ming sighed and said with a bitter look in his eyes.
