chapter 6 in danger

Bernardo Kirkland deliberately moved closer to Hallan Kirkland and whispered: "Diarmaid Peck's team set out the day before yesterday and should have returned to the village yesterday at the latest. I heard that they were going to explore the situation in neighboring villages this time. The hunting group has already allocated some manpower to go and find it. , most of the group members are also responsible for the defense of the village, so the younger group also has to go into the mountains to help expand the search area."

Hallan Kirkland moved back with a look of disgust on his face, wondering why the other party had to get so close and speak in a lower voice. But I was worried about Diarmaid Peck's safety and didn't bother to worry about it.

"Then who should I team up with and what position should I be responsible for?"

"You just need to go explore the Grand Canyon in Dongshan. If there are no special circumstances, you should be back before dinner."

"Myself?"

"Yes, there are really not enough manpower now. You are the strongest among us, so I believe you will have no problem. This is for you, I think you know how to use it."

As Bernardo Kirkland spoke, he took out a bamboo tube and handed it over directly. Hallan Kirkland subconsciously reached out and took it. The small bamboo tube in his hand was a firework signal cannon made by the village itself. During the day, he called his companions through sound. At night, it could explode in the air to let people know the exact location of the person who fired the cannon.

When Hallan Kirkland looked up again, what he saw was Bernardo Kirkland back leaving in a hurry. He didn't even say hello, and his attitude was totally different from when he first met him.

Although he felt very puzzled, Hallan Kirkland didn't think much about it. Putting the letter cannon in his arms, he left the village and headed east without delay.

The Kirkland Village is located in the southeast of the Yelin Empire. The Yelin Empire is mainly mountainous, and the Tianping Mountains surround the empire like a barrier. The inner area of ​​​​the Tianping Mountains is also called the human forbidden zone because the most terrifying existence on the continent, the monster beasts, live there.

Standing on the Hallan Kirkland of a hill, Zuo Feng stared at the northern skyline, where a barrier-like mountain range stretched across the horizon. The mountains seem to be shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, making it impossible to see the whole thing. Hallan Kirkland knew clearly that this was the restricted area for humans, where the Tianping Mountains were located.

Although he often moves in the jungle, relying on the Tianping Mountains to determine the direction is always the most accurate.

Hallan Kirkland frowned and looked at a gorge a few miles away. As long as he passed through it, it would be his destination. But ever since he climbed this hill, he always had a feeling of panic. At first, he thought he was too worried about Diarmaid Peck's safety, but when he calmed down and thought about it, it didn't seem like this was the reason.

While Hallan Kirkland was lowering his head in thought, a sound of "thrust" came from the grass behind him.

Hallan Kirkland immediately assumed a fighting stance vigilantly, but secretly cursed himself for being too careless. From the sound just now, he had already judged that the other party was only four or five feet away from him.

In the interior of the mountainous area, there are many wild beasts and savage beasts. Let alone a fourth-level warrior, even a warrior who has reached the tempering stage will only die if he is surrounded by wild beasts.

Judging from the sound, the opponent was moving extremely fast, and Hallan Kirkland's entire body became more and more tense.

Suddenly, a black shadow shot out from behind the trees. The two figures looked at each other and froze on the spot with wary expressions. Then they laughed at each other.

After a while, Hallan Kirkland rubbed his sore lower abdomen and pointed at the person opposite him.

"You stinky monkey, you can't scare people."

The person who came was none other than one of Hallan Kirkland very rare friends, Lowell Kirkland.

"Damn maniac, it seems like you waited here to scare me, and you gave me a bad person to complain first."

Lowell Kirkland waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Do you know that both of us are in danger right now?"

Hallan Kirkland was slightly startled and asked eagerly: "Dangerous place, what kind of dangerous place?"

Sighing slightly, Lowell Kirkland said quickly: "Before this operation, I saw the two brothers Titouan Kirkland and Bernardo Kirkland sneaking around, so I quietly eavesdropped on their conversation. Because I was a little farther away, I could only hear Just a few words, 'The ambush is ready', 'East', 'Never come back'."

After a pause, he continued: "I didn't understand what they were talking about at first. Not long after I set off with the team, I saw you walking east alone. It was then that I realized that this was probably a plan targeting you. Conspiracy, it’s a pity that my speed is not as fast as yours.”

Glancing at Hallan Kirkland helplessly, Lowell Kirkland sighed and continued: "From their clothing, we can vaguely judge that they are the bandits from Jinyan Mountain. From the moment we entered the mountain, we have been surrounded by them. . And these hills to the east are not within the scope of this search at all, and the villagers will not know that we are in danger here."

Hallan Kirkland was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then quickly climbed up a big tree next to him. After a few breaths, he had reached the top of the big tree. They were now on the top of the mountain. Standing on the top of the tree, they could have a panoramic view for more than ten miles.

When Hallan Kirkland rushed down from the tree, his face became extremely heavy, and his gratitude and guilt could be seen at a glance. Although it was unclear how many people there were, it was already certain that what Lowell Kirkland said was indeed the truth.

Lowell Kirkland obviously knew that there was an ambush here, but he still followed him resolutely for his own sake. Although Hallan Kirkland had thousands of words, it seemed that all his words were so powerless at this moment.

Lowell Kirkland seemed to have read through his thoughts, smiled and shook his head, saying: "Let's not talk about anything else between you and me. The most urgent thing is to find a way to escape from danger."

Hallan Kirkland nodded slightly and looked around. Just now he took a rough look at the surrounding situation. The opponent's arrangement was to surround them on three sides, leaving only the east direction leading to the canyon where no one could be seen.

Judging from their arrangement, it was obvious that they wanted to capture him alive in the canyon. As for why the enemy went to such great lengths to capture him alive, it was not a headache at the moment. Although the enemy is moving slowly, it is estimated that they will reach the top of the mountain in a matter of seconds.

The constant approaching enemies caused huge pressure, which made Hallan Kirkland extremely calm at this moment. His eyes were constantly searching around him, looking for anything that could be used, and his hands were groping around the package and inside his arms.

Suddenly, Hallan Kirkland eyes lit up. He reached out and took out a small bamboo tube from his arms. This was the message gun Bernardo Kirkland gave him to use to contact his companions before leaving.

After listening to Lowell Kirkland's story, he already knew that there were no other companions in the village in this direction. If you sound the alarm in a critical moment, not only will no reinforcements come, but it will accelerate your own demise.

Hallan Kirkland, who was thinking quickly, had already figured this out when he took out the letter cannon. At the same time, he also sketched out an escape plan in his mind, using the same weapon that was originally used to plot against himself.

Seeing the confusion on Lowell Kirkland's face, Hallan Kirkland knew that there was no time to explain now, as the enemy was getting closer and closer.

Find a dead branch on the ground, wind the cannon's fuse around it, then stand the cannon firmly on the ground and light the other end of the dead branch.

In the blink of an eye a few more times, Hallan Kirkland completed this series of actions, pulled back Lowell Kirkland, who looked confused, and ran towards the canyon.

Two thin figures were crawling behind a huge rock, with only half of their heads exposed and looking towards the top of the mountain. Almost as soon as the two of them had concealed themselves, the sharp sound of cannons suddenly sounded.

In the silent mountain forest, this sudden sound seemed extremely harsh. The two of them held their breath and lay motionless on the big rock, watching the figures swaying in the distance, and countless figures gathering towards the top of the mountain.

There were actually thirty enemies in number, and their cultivation levels were at the late stage of physical strengthening and early stage of muscle tempering. Because the two of them were relatively close, Hallan Kirkland could feel Lowell Kirkland's body shaking slightly.

He knew very well that if this group of people discovered where the two of them were hiding, it would be a joke to escape. He quickly thought about his plan again in his mind.

'There should be no loopholes and no mistakes. This is the only hope for the two of us to escape. 'Until he saw the group of people leaving quickly in the direction from which the three came, Lowell Kirkland let out a long sigh of relief. Just as he was about to sit up, he was quickly held down by Hallan Kirkland.

Three figures suddenly appeared on the deserted mountain top. They observed the surroundings for a while before quietly leaving.

Hallan Kirkland glanced at Lowell Kirkland beside him and said with a smile: "This time, he should really leave."

"Huh, these people are really careful. If you hadn't caught me in time, our behavior would have been exposed."

"I just kept a cautious eye. I didn't expect them to be so cautious."

Lowell Kirkland looked at Hallan Kirkland with admiration. He could no longer control the doubts in his heart and asked.

"How do you know they will go in those three directions?"

Hallan Kirkland had long known that he would ask, so he calmly said it.

"When they saw me sounding the signal cannon, they were sure that their group had been exposed. When they arrived at the top of the mountain and found that there was no one there, they would first think that they were in a hurry when they went up the mountain and did not notice that we were hiding behind them. on the road, so they will search carefully on the road to and from the first place."

Lowell Kirkland was still a little confused after hearing this, and continued to ask: "Don't they think we are heading towards the canyon?"

Hallan Kirkland smiled slightly, and patiently explained to this good brother.

"Their arrangement is to let me enter the valley. Since they think I have seen through their plan, they will not be stupid enough to continue going to the valley. They will only think that we are hidden in the other three directions. They are eager to reach the top of the mountain. We have missed our travel treasure, and of course we are eager to look back now.”

Lowell Kirkland nodded seriously, and when he looked at Hallan Kirkland again, he was already in admiration. The young man in front of him is not only a genius with amazing training speed, but also an extremely intelligent and thoughtful person.

"Then what do we do next."

Lowell Kirkland said without hesitation the question he wanted to ask most at the moment.

"Go to the canyon."

After Hallan Kirkland finished speaking, he ignored the shocked Lowell Kirkland and took the lead in turning back toward the east canyon.
