Seven-star Sword Master

At 3:00 p.m., Lu Feipeng once again set out on patrol.

So far, he has killed four magic rats today, and Chen Dongsheng has also killed three.

Although there are a lot of demons today, fortunately no casualties were caused.

Along the way, we patrolled five or six strongholds ahead and did not find anything unusual.

Looking at the direction, a smile emerged on his face, for a simple reason, because the next stronghold was the one he was previously in charge of.

"Hey, where are the people?"

When Lu Feipeng appeared again under the sycamore tree that he was very familiar with, he found that the two team members who were supposed to be in charge of this stronghold were missing.

"Chong..."

The black iron knife was unsheathed with a sharp sound.

At this moment, Lu Feipeng frowned slightly, his eyes narrowed, and his ink-black pupils kept looking up and down and scanning left and right.

Although he still didn't know what was going on, there was one thing he was sure of:

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!"

When facing monsters and demons, it is never too cautious.

His eyes kept looking around the rice fields. The rice was already ripe and the stalks were already taller than a person.

After observing the rice fields for a long time, he still didn't find anything unusual, so Lu Feipeng could only call out softly to the rice fields:

"Wang Hao, Liu Feng, where are you?"

Wang Hao and Liu Feng are the names of the two team members guarding this stronghold.

He called out three or two times, but received no response.

But this was also within Lu Feipeng's expectations. After all, after he came here, he already had a bad feeling in his heart.

However, he did not give up. Instead, he patrolled the area in the stronghold, calling out softly as he walked.

“Sa-sa-sa…”

As the breeze blew, the rice ears swayed in the air, and the seven or eight-foot-high rice grains swayed left and right in the fields.

The collision of rice ears and the friction of rice leaves make a "smashing" sound from time to time.

Normally this slight sound would have no effect on Lu Feipeng. On the contrary, he would feel that the sound was very pleasant and would make him feel relaxed and comfortable.

“Sa-sa-sa…”

The wind didn't stop, and the sound continued.

At this moment, Lu Feipeng suddenly felt that this sound, which usually made him feel extremely depressed, actually gave him a creepy feeling at this time and place.

At this point, Lu Feipeng did not say much, but unconsciously tightened his grip on the knife.

He felt the cool touch coming from the handle of the knife. At this moment, it was not just a cool touch at all, it was clearly a reassurance to him.

Fortunately, he knew very well where to patrol in this stronghold and which route to take when patrolling.

He walked along the road cautiously, and when he reached the end of the rice field, he saw two figures lying quietly in a small ditch.

When he saw the bodies of the two patrolmen lying quietly in the ditch, his eyes froze for a moment, but only for a moment before his eyes regained clarity.

"Wang Hao, Liu Feng..."

After Lu Feipeng stared at the two corpses carefully, he murmured to himself.

It doesn't take much thinking to know that the two of them must have been dead by now.

"What exactly happened? Why did these two people fall into the puddle together?"

Even though his cultivation had reached the sixth level of the Spirit Induction Realm, Lu Feipeng did not dare to act rashly without figuring out whether it was an attack by monsters or an invasion by demons.

Out of caution, he first retreated a distance to keep himself away from danger, and then he took out a flare from the small cloth bag on his waist.

"Chirp..."

A red light rose into the sky.

"boom…"

The flares exploded with a loud bang, forming a circle of brilliant fireworks.

After a while, a figure came hurriedly. It was Chen Dongsheng holding a long knife.

After slapping a magic-detecting talisman on his body, Chen Dongsheng walked up to him.

"Fei Peng, what's wrong?"

After arriving at this stronghold, only Lu Feipeng was seen. The other two team members who were responsible for patrolling this place had disappeared.

Lu Feipeng looked at Chen Dongsheng, shook his head and pointed to the ditch a few feet away, then he spoke:

"Uncle Dongsheng, I don't know the specific situation. When I came here for patrol, the two of them were already lying in the ditch."

"Chong..."

The sound of a long sword being unsheathed was heard.

"Oh?"

Chen Dongsheng walked towards the ditch cautiously with a long knife in his hand, and Lu Feipeng followed closely behind him.

When he saw the two bodies lying quietly in the ditch, Chen Dongsheng narrowed his eyes, his eyebrows twitched unconsciously, a cloud of doubt instantly covered his brows, and he murmured:

"That shouldn't be the case. This base has been very safe over the past few years."

These words seemed to be spoken to others, but also seemed to be spoken to himself.

Lu Feipeng stood aside with a serious face and said nothing. He just held a knife and was on guard against the unknown dangers coming from nearby.

"Fei Peng, if I remember correctly, this is the fifth time something has happened in this period of time!"

Chen Dongsheng suddenly looked at Lu Feipeng and asked the questions in his mind.

"Ok?"

Hearing Chen Dongsheng say this, Lu Feipeng thought about it for a moment in his mind.

"scare!"

Before, Lu Feipeng really didn't pay much attention to these things, but after Chen Dongsheng reminded him, he really noticed something abnormal.

He suddenly felt a chill on his back, which made him break out in a cold sweat.

He immediately turned his head and looked around, as if looking for something.

"Don't panic, stay calm, and don't look around."

At this time, Chen Dongsheng immediately reminded in a low voice, signaling Lu Feipeng not to panic for the time being.

Lu Feipeng looked at Chen Dongsheng and asked softly:

"Uncle Dongsheng, what should we do now?"

Compared to Lu Feipeng's caution, Chen Dongsheng's performance seemed nonchalant.

He said slowly, "Don't panic. Handle everything as normal. Before the truth comes out, everything will remain the same. We can discuss anything when we get back."

Lu Feipeng understood. The meaning of these words was very simple. For the time being, he just pretended that he knew nothing.

"Okay, I'll go get someone to collect the body. You stay here for a while."

Lu Feipeng nodded at him, indicating that he understood.

So Chen Dongsheng turned around and walked quickly towards the nearest stronghold nearby.

After he could no longer see Chen Dongsheng's figure, Lu Feipeng unconsciously took a few steps back out of caution.

Although he was already several feet away from the ditch at this time, he did not relax the black iron knife in his hand at all, but instead kept it horizontal in front of him.

Chen Dongsheng's previous remarks were clearly a subtle reminder to him that there might be an unknown existence around him.

I don’t know if it’s a demon or a monster, or even a human…

Therefore, he dared not let down his guard at any time until the matter was made clear.

Soon Chen Dongsheng called two team members from the nearest stronghold. Under the protection of Lu Feipeng and Chen Dongsheng, the two team members quickly carried out the two bodies lying in the ditch.

When the two bodies were carried out, Chen Dongsheng and Lu Feipeng looked at each other.

"No danger."

So the two team members wrapped the two bodies with the straw mats they had prepared.

Seeing that everything was done, Chen Dongsheng looked up at the sky, then looked at Lu Feipeng and said to him:

"Fei Peng, it's almost time for the next shift. I'll transport the bodies of these two team members back first, and I'll leave the patrol to you."

Lu Feipeng nodded in agreement. After Chen Dongsheng escorted the two team members carrying straw mats away, Lu Feipeng subconsciously turned his head and looked around. Then he did not stay here for long and quickly disappeared from the spot.

"Om..."

Not long after, a black shadow flew out from the ditch. The shadow was so fast that it disappeared in a flash. Only a slight residual sound could prove that something had indeed flown past here.

He continued patrolling the stronghold which had been interrupted by an accident but had not yet completed its patrol.

Fortunately, no accidents occurred in the subsequent strongholds, and everything was safe and normal. Lu Feipeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Back to the pavilion, the reason why this pavilion was built here is, as mentioned before, this location is located in the most central part of all the strongholds in Sanjia Village.

Staying here, we can provide timely support no matter which base has problems.

That's why Wang Yu Shi stayed here when he had nothing to do.

At the same time, two patrol team members wearing black uniforms, each carrying a straw mat on their backs, stepped into the Forbidden Magic Gate.

Behind these two team members was a six-foot-tall burly man, who was none other than Chen Dongsheng who had been escorting them all the way.

Under his command, the two men carried the straw mats behind them directly into the patrol camp.

"what's the situation?"

The two old men, Zhao and Ma, who were just about to go off duty, happened to see this scene.

However, when they saw clearly the two straw mats carried by the two team members, the faces of the two old men, Zhao and Ma, suddenly turned dark!

"Master Zhao, Master Ma."

When Chen Dongsheng saw the two people who were about to leave, he knew without thinking that if there was nothing else, these two people must be going off duty again.

Chen Dongsheng first waved at the two team members, then said:

"Okay, there's nothing else to do next. You can leave your shift early today."

After the two team members disappeared from sight one after another, Chen Dongsheng walked up to them.

The two old men slowly said:

"Something might be wrong. I'd like to trouble you two elders to take a look to see if there is anything unusual."

Ma Chengyou stroked his beard, looked at Chen Dongsheng in confusion and asked:

"Dongsheng, what happened? And what is going on?"

Ma Chengyou said this while pointing at the two bodies lying on the ground.

Then, Chen Dongsheng narrated the experiences of the two team members and his own speculations one by one.
