C6 Trapped Dangerous Area

Zuo Peng intentionally moved closer to Zuo Feng and whispered, "The team from Teng Li left the day before yesterday. They should have returned to the village by yesterday at the latest. I heard that they're going to check out the neighboring villages this time. The hunting squadron has already selected a portion of their manpower to search, and most of the team members are still responsible for the village's defense, so the smaller squadron will also have to enter the mountain to help expand the search range. "

Zuo Feng moved back in disgust. He didn't understand why the other party had to be so close to him, so he lowered his voice and asked. However, he was too worried about Teng Li's safety to bother about him anymore.

"Then who am I in the same team with and where will I be responsible for?"

"You just need to go to the gorge at the eastern mountains and investigate. If there's no special situation, you should be able to return before dinner."

"Alone?"

"Yeah, we don't have enough manpower right now. Your strength is also the strongest amongst us, so I believe you won't have any problems. This is for you. I think you know how to use it. "

As Zuo Peng spoke, he took out a bamboo tube and handed it over. Zuo Feng subconsciously reached out to take it, and the small bamboo tube in his hand was a fireworks cannon made by the village. He called out to his companions during the day, and at night, he even let people know the location of the person who fired the cannon by exploding in the air.

When Zuo Feng looked up again, he saw Zuo Peng's back as he left in a hurry. He didn't even greet him. It was as if he was a completely different person when he first saw him.

Although he felt confused, Zuo Feng didn't think too much about it. Putting the cannon in his hands, he left the village without any delay and headed east.

The Zuo Family Village was located in the southeast part of the Ye Lin Empire. The Ye Lin Empire was mainly made up of mountainous areas. The interior area of the Tianping Mountains was also known as the forbidden zone for humans. This was because the Tianping Mountain Range was home to the most terrifying existence, Demon Beasts.

Standing on the peak of a small hill, the left wind focused toward the northern horizon. A mountain range that was like a barrier covered the horizon. The mountain range seemed to be surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, making it impossible for one to see everything clearly. Zuo Feng knew very well that this was the forbidden area for humans, the Heaven's Screen Mountain Range.

Although he was often in the forest, the Sky Screen Mountain Range was always the most accurate direction for him.

Zuo Feng frowned as he looked at a gap several miles away. As long as he passed through it, he would be his destination. However, ever since he climbed up this hill, he felt a sense of fear and trepidation. At first, he thought it was because he was too worried about Teng Li's safety. However, this didn't seem to be the reason why he calmed down.

Just as Zuo Feng was deep in thought, a rustling sound came from the bushes behind him.

Zuo Feng immediately assumed a battle stance, but secretly cursed himself for being too careless. From the voice just now, he could already tell that the other party was only four to five Zhang away from him.

In the mountainous region, there were numerous wild beasts and savage beasts. Even if a Tempered Muscle stage martial artist was surrounded by wild beasts, they would still die, much less a body strengthening level four martial artist like himself.

Judging from the sound, the opponent's movement speed was extremely fast, and Zuo Feng's body was becoming tighter and tighter.

Suddenly, a black shadow came out from behind the trees and looked at each other warily. The two figures then began to laugh out loud.

After a while, Zuo Feng rubbed his sore stomach and pointed at the man in front of him.

"You smelly monkey, are you trying to scare us?"

This person was one of Zuo Feng's very few friends, Zuo Hou.

"Damned lunatic, it seems like it was you who scared me by waiting here. Return the favor and report it to me first."

Zuo Hou waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about other things first. Do you know that we are both in danger right now?"

Zuo Feng was slightly surprised for a moment, and then anxiously asked, "Dangerous place, what kind of place?"

Sighing lightly, Zuo Hou quickly said, "Before this operation, I saw the two brothers, Zuo Cheng and Zuo Peng, sneaking around, so I secretly eavesdropped on their conversation. "Because I only heard a few words from a distance, 'The ambush is ready', 'The east side', and 'Never come back'."

After pausing for a moment, he continued, "I didn't understand what they were talking about at the start. Not long after I set out with the group, I saw you walking alone towards the east. It was then that I realized that this was probably a conspiracy against you, but unfortunately, my speed could not compare to yours. "

Glancing at Zuo Feng helplessly, Zuo Hou sighed and continued, "From their clothing, we can vaguely guess that they are those bandits from the Golden Rock Mountain. From the moment we entered this mountain, we have already been surrounded by them. "Furthermore, the eastern hills are not within the scope of this search. Even more so, the villagers will not know that we are in danger here."

After Zuo Feng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he quickly climbed up a big tree beside him. After a few breaths of time, he had already arrived at the top of the large tree. At this moment, they were at the peak of the mountain.

When Zuo Feng jumped down from the tree, his expression became extremely heavy. His gratitude and guilt could be seen with a single glance. Although he couldn't see how many people there were, he was certain that what Zuo Hou said was the truth.

Zuo Feng obviously knew that this was an ambush, but he still chose to follow him. Even though Zuo Feng had a thousand words to say, they all seemed to be powerless at this moment.

Zuo Hou seemed to have seen through his thoughts, he smiled and shook his head, saying, "Let's not talk about other things between us, hurry up and think of a way to escape from this predicament, what's most important is now."

Zuo Feng nodded lightly and looked around. Earlier, he had roughly looked at the surrounding situation. The other party had arranged a three-sided encirclement, leaving only the eastern direction that led to the canyon and not a single person to be seen.

From their arrangement, it was clear that they wanted to capture him alive in the canyon. As for why the enemy would go through so much trouble to capture him alive, it was not the time to be troubled. Although the enemy was moving slowly, they would reach the top in the time it took to drink a cup of tea.

The constant pressure from the enemies caused Zuo Feng to be extremely calm. His eyes searched the area, searching for anything to exploit, his hands fumbling with the bundle and the inside of his coat.

Suddenly, Zuo Feng's eyes lit up. He reached into his pocket and took out a small bamboo tube. It was the messenger gun that Zuo Peng had given to him before he left to contact his companions.

After listening to Zuo Hou's words, he already knew that there were no other companions in the village in this direction. If he sounded during the critical moment, not only would there be no reinforcements, but it would also hasten his death.

Zuo Feng had already figured this out when he took out his gun. At the same time, he drew out an escape plan in his mind. He was using this Soul-Cannon which was supposed to be used to scheme against him.

Seeing the puzzled look on Zuo Hou's face, Zuo Feng knew that there was no time to explain. The enemies were getting closer and closer.

He found a dry branch on the ground and twisted the fuse of the cannon onto it. Then, he placed the cannon on the ground and lit up the other end of the branch.

In just a few blinks of an eye, Zuo Feng had completed this series of actions. He turned around, pulled the confused Zuo Hou, and ran towards the direction of the canyon.

Two petite figures prostrated themselves behind a huge rock. Only half of their heads were exposed as they looked towards the peak of the mountain. Just as the two people hid themselves, a sharp sound of gunfire rang out.

In the silence of the mountain forest, the sound that suddenly appeared was extremely ear-piercing. The two of them held their breaths as they laid still on the large rock. They watched the shadows of people moving in the distance and countless of people gathering at the top of the mountain.

There were more than thirty enemies, and their cultivations were at the late stage of body strengthening and early stage of Body Tempering Stage. Due to the two of them being very close to each other, Zuo Feng could feel that Zuo Hou's body was trembling slightly.

He understood that if this group of people were to find out where the two of them were hiding, escaping would be a joke. He quickly thought of his plan in his mind.

'There shouldn't be any loopholes. There shouldn't be any mistakes. This is the only hope for the two of us to escape.

Zuo Hou let out a long sigh of relief as he saw the group of people leaving in three different directions. Just as he was about to sit up, he was quickly held down by Zuo Feng.

Three figures suddenly appeared on top of an empty mountain peak. They observed their surroundings for a moment before quietly leaving.

Zuo Feng looked at Zuo Hou, who was beside him, and said with a smile, "This time, he probably really left."

"Phew, this group of people are really careful. If you hadn't stopped me just now, our cover would have been blown."

"I only kept my eyes open. I didn't expect them to be this cautious."

Zuo Chen looked at Zuo Feng with admiration, he could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart and asked.

"How do you know?" How do you know?

Zuo Feng already knew he would ask, so he said it calmly.

"When they saw me pull the trigger, they confirmed that they had been exposed. When they reach the top of the mountain and find that there is no one around, they will first think that they were in too much of a hurry to reach the mountain, so they will not notice that we were hiding on the road they came from, so they will carefully search on the way they came in the first moment. "

Zuo Hou was still puzzled and continued to ask, "Don't tell me they think we're heading towards the canyon."

Zuo Feng smiled slightly. Towards this good brother of his, he still patiently explained.

Their arrangement is to let me enter the valley. Since they think that I have seen through their plans, they will naturally not be foolish enough to continue heading towards the valley. They will only think that we are hiding in the other three directions, and that they were in a hurry to reach the top of the mountain before they missed our destination.

Zuo Hou nodded seriously, and when he looked at Zuo Feng again, it was with admiration. The young man in front of him was not only a genius who cultivated at an astonishing speed, but he was also an intelligent and meticulous person.

"Then what should we do next?"

At that moment, the question that he wanted to ask the most.

"To the canyon."

After Zuo Feng said this, he didn't care about the shocked Zuo Hou at all and took the lead to head back to the east side of the canyon.
