Suddenly, two silhouettes flickered and appeared. They were wearing bronze masks and carrying two sharp swords on their backs.
Their expressions were cold.
Especially their eyes, which were devoid of emotion.
Zhao Zhiruo stopped in her tracks as soon as the two figures appeared.
Behind her, Lin Xuan and Murong Qingcheng also looked serious. They could sense that the two people in front of them were definitely experts.
"Seniors, I'm here on my grandfather's orders.
These two are my friends. My grandfather wants to see them.
This is a token. "
Zhao Zhiruo took out her family's token as she spoke.
One of the masked men took the token and looked at it carefully. Then, he nodded and returned the token to Zhao Zhiruo.
Then, the two figures flashed and disappeared into the void.
Whoosh!
The leaves on both sides rustled, and birds chirped in the surroundings. It was very ethereal. It was as if the appearance of the two masked men just now was a dream.
"Let's go. My grandfather is right in front.
However, the two of you have to follow me closely and follow my footsteps. Don't make a single mistake.
There's a formation inside. If we take a wrong step, it'll be very dangerous. "
"Alright."
Murong Qingcheng said with a smile. Lin Xuan also nodded.
Then, he looked around. Indeed, with his knowledge of formations, he discovered that there was an extremely terrifying formation in front of him.
Although there was no light, it was extremely dangerous. There was only one way out.
Next, Zhao Zhiruo led the way. She did not walk in a straight line, but in all kinds of curves. Sometimes, she even went backwards.
However, Lin Xuan and Murong Qingcheng knew that they were walking on the only way out of the formation.
If they did not follow that path, they would immediately activate the terrifying killing formation under their feet.
It took them an hour to walk through the formation.
Finally, Zhao Zhiruo heaved a sigh of relief.
"Alright, there's no danger ahead. Let's speed up."
In front of them was no longer a forest, but a grassland. They could even hear the sound of flowing water in the distance because there was a waterfall in the distance.
On the opposite side of the waterfall, there was a huge lake. It was like an emerald gem that was embedded in the ground.
Beside the lake, there was a figure.
But soon, Lin Xuan and Murong Qingcheng were stunned.
That was because they had thought that they would meet an old man with the demeanor of an immortal. However, the scene before them was completely out of their expectations.
The figure in front was indeed an old man.
However, the other party was dressed normally.
He was dressed in plain clothes and had a bamboo hat on his head. At this moment, he was holding a hoe and waving it in front of him.
Moreover, it wasn't some terrifying divine ability. It was very ordinary, just like a farmer plowing the land.
His trousers were rolled up, and the sweat on his face kept dripping to the ground.
If it had not been Zhao Zhiruo who had brought them here, if it had not been for the terrifying guards and the terrifying killing array, then …
They simply didn't believe that the old man in front of them was the old master of the Zhao family!
Because it was too ordinary.
Such people could be seen everywhere in the countries of ordinary people.
Grandpa.
However, Zhao Zhiruo was not surprised. With a smile on her face, she ran over.
Grandpa, I've invited him.
Zhao Zhiruo said softly.
The old man stopped waving the hoe, stood up, and wiped his sweat.
Then, he turned to look at Lin Xuan and Murong Qingcheng.
Please wait for a moment. I'm almost done with a little more.
We're not in a hurry, Old Master.
Lin Xuan and Murong Qingcheng also walked over and watched from the side.
Murong Qingcheng blinked curiously. Lin Xuan glanced at it and was extremely shocked.
That was immortal grain rice!
Lin Xuan was too shocked. That was a type of rice, which was also an ordinary food.
The rice in front of them was not ordinary. It was known as an ancient variant.
That was because it contained pure spiritual energy when it was planted. It could be said to be the same as spirit herbs and spirit fruits.
However, it was much more effective than ordinary spirit fruits.
Moreover, it could be eaten as a meal.
If one consumed it from a young age, the foundation and physique would be unimaginable.
He did not expect Old Master Zhao to be planting such a thing.
When he heard Lin Xuan's words, Old Master Zhao raised his head again. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. 'You know about it?'
He had read about it in books before, but this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.
'Can you give me a few stalks, Old Master?' Lin Xuan asked.
Old Master Zhao laughed when he heard that. 'Alright, it's fate that we meet. I'll give you a few stalks.'
Lin Xuan picked ten stalks, waved his hand, and put them away.
He cupped his fists and thanked Old Master Zhao with a smile.
Next, Old Master Zhao continued to work on the unfinished ones. Lin Xuan and Murong Qingcheng watched from the side. (Pirates will die.)
Gradually, the two of them became serious again.
That was because they realized that Old Master Zhao's every movement was very ordinary, but there was an inexplicable charm to it.
Returning to the basics!
The two of them were shocked. Old Master Zhao was definitely a terrifying expert.
That was because there were very few people who could do that.
After some time, Old Master Zhao was finally done with his work.
He put the hoe in his hand aside, took off the bamboo hat on his head, and said with a smile, "Please take a seat."
The few of them sat by the old lake. At that moment, the surface of the lake was sparkling. A gentle breeze blew, and it was very cool.
"I've heard from Zhiruo why you're here.
The Beast Tide had started a year and a half ago. It had been intermittent, and it would come once every few months.
"However, there hasn't been a large-scale beast horde in Qianshan Region yet.
"However, this matter has attracted the attention of all parties.
"We've investigated it. "However, due to the lack of clues, we didn't find anything.
"However, after our analysis, the beast horde is indeed not ordinary.
"Moreover, the target of the beast horde is very obvious. They're all heading for the main cities.
"Among them, four main cities, including Wanrun City, were attacked by the beast horde.
"The Nine Li Dynasty also attached great importance to this matter. They sent a large number of experts to help suppress the beast horde.
"They even caught a few peerless Monster Kings and wanted to search their souls.
"They found useful information.
"Unfortunately, those peerless Monster Kings immediately self-destructed after they were caught. They even sacrificed a few peerless mighty figures.
"It's very crazy.
"Therefore, we can't get any useful information at all.
"However, if you really want to know something, you can go to Qianshan City.
"That's also a main city. Maybe you can find some information there.
Lin Xuan and Murong Qingcheng's eyes flickered when they heard that. They didn't expect that to be the case.
Although they didn't get any specific information, they were sure that someone was secretly manipulating the beast horde.
The self-destruction of the peerless Monster Kings was obviously to hide the information.
"It seems that the Monster Clans are making a big move recently.
"Moreover, they're attacking main cities. Their purpose is very obvious."
Since they didn't get any information, Lin Xuan and Murong Qingcheng didn't stay any longer. The two of them stood up.
"Sorry to disturb you, Old Master."
Then, Zhao Zhiruo left again with Murong Qingcheng and Lin Xuan.
After Lin Xuan and the others left completely, Old Master Zhao's eyes flickered, and his expression was somewhat solemn.
