The reason why Zhao Hai's heart sank wasn't because of the fire. It was because the fire was deliberately set by someone. Another reason was that he smelled something in the air.
Don't forget that besides being a plant master, Zhao Hai was also a pharmacist. He had a good understanding of herbs and medicines. Naturally, he also knew about knockout drugs.
When he woke up, he smelled a faint smell of knockout drugs. This was also the reason why he slept so soundly. Now, the situation in the village was even worse. There were fires everywhere, but no one came out to put out the fire. It was clear that everyone was under the influence of the knockout drugs.
Looking at the intensity of the fire, it was clear that it was set by someone. Otherwise, the fire wouldn't have spread everywhere. Moreover, the fire almost surrounded the entire village. This was definitely abnormal.
Zhao Hai quickly tidied up his belongings. Then he picked up a quilt and went outside. He wet the quilt with water and then rushed into Old Shen's room.
Old Shen and Old Madam Shen were sleeping soundly. They didn't know what was happening outside. Zhao Hai knew that the two were under the influence of the knockout drugs. He immediately poured some water on their faces. The two groaned and woke up.
When Zhao Hai saw that the two had woken up, he immediately said, "Old Shen, Old Madam Shen, get up quickly. The village is on fire." When the two heard Zhao Hai, they immediately woke up. They sat up and saw the light coming through the window.
Old Shen's face paled. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Daren, what's going on?"
Zhao Hai replied, "From the looks of it, someone set the fire. Old Shen, Old Madam Shen, you should immediately go to the village to save people. Everyone seems to be under the influence of the knockout drugs. Soak them with water and then cover them with the quilt. Then think of a way to escape from the village. Be quick."
Old Shen was also a person who had seen the world. At this time, he also woke up. He immediately nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go now." After saying that, she stood up and quickly put on her clothes. Then, she hugged the quilt and ran out. Aunt Shen did the same.
Zhao Hai looked at the two of them and didn't say anything. He wrapped the wet blanket around his wooden chest. Then, with a move of his hand, the bullhead drum appeared in his hand, and he rushed out.
As soon as Zhao Hai stepped out of the Shen family's house, he heard two blood-curdling screams. Zhao Hai was shocked. He looked outside and saw that Old Shen and Aunt Shen had collapsed in the courtyard. Two arrows as thick as eggs had pierced through their bodies. Blood was spilling out of their mouths. It was obvious that they wouldn't survive.
Zhao Hai's eyes turned red. He could see that the arrows weren't ordinary arrows. They were arrows shot from a ballista. These arrows were very lethal to professions. This was because the range of these arrows was about a thousand steps. Moreover, even if it was a thousand steps away, it could still pierce through an iron shield. It was definitely an incomparably powerful weapon.
But now that these arrows appeared here, there was only one possibility. This place was surrounded by the army, and the ones who set the fire were the army. And in the Tiger Soul Nation, the only ones who could do this were the Tiger Soul Nation's army.
At this time, the sound of wind breaking could be heard. It was as if the air was being torn apart. Zhao Hai didn't dare to be negligent. He brandished the bullhead drum in his hand and protected his body.
After a few clanging sounds, Zhao Hai felt his arm shake a few times. Several arrows were blocked by him. However, this also allowed Zhao Hai to find the position of the other party. They were on a mountain not far from him.
Zhao Hai knew that it was impossible to save the people in the village. He immediately released the Iron Thread Grass and went straight towards the mountain. At the same time, he took the bullhead drum and rushed towards the mountain.
Zhao Hai was very clear that the other party had a lot of people. Moreover, it was very likely that they had already surrounded the village. If he didn't go up the mountain as soon as possible, then he would become a target. Then it would be even more troublesome.
At this time, Zhao Hai suddenly stopped. Then his figure flashed to the side. Several arrows were shot at the place where he was standing. When Zhao Hai saw that this wasn't going to work, he immediately called the Iron Thread Grass back. Then he used the Man-Plant Fusion technique to fuse himself with the Iron Thread Grass. After that, his body slowly sank into the ground.
Zhao Hai's move was something that the other party didn't expect. When Zhao Hai disappeared, they really didn't know what to do. Now that the village was on fire, it was impossible for them to rush into the village to find Zhao Hai. At the same time, they also had to be careful. They couldn't let Zhao Hai come out from under their feet and attack them.
However, Zhao Hai didn't immediately attack them. When he went underground, he immediately thought that he could use this method to save people. However, he could only wake the villagers up and let them find a way to escape. As for whether the villagers would be shot to death by the enemy's arrows, Zhao Hai really couldn't do anything about it.
The other party even used military arrows. Moreover, they surrounded the entire village with fire. It was obvious that they didn't want the villagers to live. In this case, it was hard to say how many people would survive.
Fortunately, the village wasn't big. Excluding the houses that were burned to ashes, there weren't many houses that Zhao Hai could ask for. There were only 20 or so houses. After Zhao Hai woke the villagers up, he told them to find a way to escape. However, they had to pay attention to the people outside who would attack them with arrows.
In this case, the villagers panicked. They didn't care about Zhao Hai's words and ran out in panic. However, they were quickly killed by the arrows.
After Zhao Hai called a few families, the results were all like this. This made Zhao Hai very disappointed. At the same time, he felt boundless anger. He wasn't a soft-hearted person, but the enemy used such methods to deal with these innocent villagers. This made Zhao Hai very angry. At the same time, he was angry at his own powerlessness.
However, Zhao Hai calmed down. He knew that there was no point in calling the villagers at this time. After the villagers woke up, they wouldn't listen to him. They would definitely run out. The villagers were ordinary people. It was impossible for them to remain calm. Therefore, what he needed to do now wasn't to find those people as soon as possible. It was best if he could kill those people surrounding the village. Otherwise, the villagers wouldn't be able to survive.
After thinking about this, Zhao Hai's figure once again went underground. Then, he dived in the direction where the arrows came from.
Just when he was halfway up the mountain where the arrows came from, Zhao Hai suddenly felt something digging in front of him. Zhao Hai was startled. Then, he immediately understood. It seemed that the enemy had sent out battle pets to find him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but sneer. Although those battle pets could also drill into the ground, for Zhao Hai, those battle pets couldn't be that useful. This was because he dived deeper than those battle pets.
This time, Zhao Hai dived to a depth of about 20 meters. Although it wasn't the deepest, this depth wasn't something that those battle pets could compare to.
Not many battle pets could sneak into the ground. At most, there were some rats, pangolins, snakes, or ants. Under such circumstances, the most likely ones to sneak into the ground were the rats or pangolins, which were very good at digging holes. Those battle pets were generally only used for vigilance or surveillance, and they were not good at fighting. Also, those battle pets couldn't dig holes very fast, and they couldn't go that deep into the ground.
However, Zhao Hai believed that the enemy must have other ways to guard against him. But he wasn't worried. Instead, he went straight up the mountain. After a while, he reached the mountain. However, he didn't immediately go underground. Instead, he moved his hand and the Iron Thread Grass appeared in his hand. Then, the Iron Thread Grass emerged from the ground.
Sure enough, when the Iron Thread Grass was about three meters above the ground, it encountered a lot of rats and ants. Seeing this, Zhao Huo understood the enemy's plan. They wanted to use this method to find him so that they could make preparations in advance.
However, this also reminded Zhao Hai. He thought of something and made the Iron Thread Grass make a bigger noise when it drilled outside. Then, he slowly went to the ground from another direction.
On this hillside, there was an army of a thousand. There were ten ballistas in the entire army. All the soldiers wore light leather armor and held weapons in their hands. In this army of a thousand, there were many ordinary soul bearers, about seven hundred of them. As for other professions, there were about three hundred of them. Among these three hundred, there were one hundred beast soul bearers, fifty plant masters, one hundred craftsmen, and fifty soldier soul bearers. It could be said that their strength was absolutely incomparable.
At this time, the beast soul bearers in the army closed their eyes and felt something. Suddenly, two beast soul bearers opened their eyes at the same time and said, "They're coming. Everyone, be careful. They're near the fifth ballista. Get out of the way."
Following the words of the two soul bearers, the entire army moved in an instant. They immediately made way for the fifth ballista. At the same time, they formed a larger encirclement around the fifth ballista. As for the ballista, they didn't move it away. One must know that the ballista was very heavy. It wasn't easy to move it.
Everyone stared at the fifth ballista nervously. Before long, they could hear a slight rustling sound. Everyone became nervous. The ordinary soldiers were holding their weapons so tightly that their knuckles turned white.
Suddenly, the ground moved. Then a black shadow drilled out of the ground. Upon seeing this shadow, everyone was stunned. This was because this wasn't Zhao Hai, but a black blade of grass.
When a plant master saw this blade of grass, his expression changed as he said, "Not good. It's Iron Thread Grass. Everyone, be careful." Just as he finished speaking, not far behind him, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the ground. As soon as this black shadow came out, the Iron Thread Grass also rushed out. At the same time, the black shadow had a huge bull head drum in his hand. Then, a large number of plants appeared in the middle of the group.
This army of a thousand was caught unprepared by this sudden change. However, they seemed to be elites. When they felt this change, the professions among them immediately moved. Several soul bearers and soul bearers who were closest to Zhao Hai immediately rushed towards Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai roared. At the same time, he swept the bullhead drum in his hand. Those who rushed towards him were swept away. Then Zhao Hai killed his way into the crowd. When Zhao Hai entered the crowd, he was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Nobody was his opponent. Those who were swept away by the bullhead drum, whether they were professions or not, were all swept away. What was different was that the professions that were swept away by Zhao Hai wouldn't be harmed. On the other hand, if ordinary soul bearers were swept away by Zhao Hai, they would only have their bones broken.
At the same time, the demonic plants that Zhao Hai released also began to show their might. These plants were all demonic plants. Each of them had their own characteristics. However, these demonic plants weren't easy to deal with. Not to mention these demonic plants that were being nourished by Zhao Hai's natural energy. At this time, the mountaintop was in chaos.
At the same time, the changes on the mountaintop also alarmed the people on the other mountains. In order to deal with Zhao Hai, the Tiger Soul Country sent a total of five thousand people. These five thousand people occupied the mountains around the Shen Jia Ao. Now, the mountain where Zhao Hai was at suddenly had a huge battle. When they thought about how Zhao Hai suddenly disappeared, the people on the other mountains understood what was going on. Therefore, they immediately surrounded the mountain, wanting to kill Zhao Hai.
Actually, the reason why the Tiger Soul Country sent so many people to deal with Zhao Hai was because they thought that Zhao Hai wasn't alone. In their opinion, it was impossible for a Plant Master to kill eight of their rough soldiers and then wipe out 20 of their elites. Moreover, in their opinion, many of those who were killed were killed by heavy weapons. In this case, they suspected that the Blade Soul Country had sent an elite team to infiltrate the Tiger Soul Country in order to wreak havoc. In the end, when they found out that Zhao Hai had entered the Shen Jia Ao, they thought of a way to set fire to force Zhao Hai and the others out. While setting the fire, they also used knockout powder. Even if they couldn't kill everyone, they could at least burn a few people to death. At the same time, after forcing them out, they would attack with arrows.
As for whether the people in the Shen Jia Ao were dead or alive, they didn't care at all. For them, the death of a few hundred people in a small cave wasn't a big deal. After these people died, they could even announce that it was the Blade Soul Country's team that did it. They could even use this as an excuse to attack the Blade Soul Country and splash dirty water on them. Even if they couldn't get any benefits from the Blade Soul Country, they could still disgust the Blade Soul Country.
Although the people in Shen Jiaao were all people of the Tiger Soul Nation, the lives of these ordinary people were nothing in the eyes of the Tiger Soul Nation's higher-ups. They didn't care about the lives of these people. In their opinion, killing the enemy was the most important thing. The death of a few ordinary people wasn't a big deal. In any case, if these ordinary people died, no one would know who did it, and no one would investigate. Because of this, the higher-ups felt relieved and dared to do this.
