At the west gate of the village.
In the distant forest.
This was the habitat of the forest wolves outside the village. Their levels were very low. According to the level system, they were only Level 15, which meant that they were only at the first level of the Domain Realm.
At that moment …
The forest wolves moved back and forth restlessly. Their sharp sense of smell was able to sense that their territory was being invaded.
However, they couldn't see the existence of the intruder.
Ye Zichen and co. used invisibility scrolls to hide at the periphery of the lush forest.
They were able to see the west gate from where they were.
They were very far away, so the guards at the gate were unable to sense their existence.
"Sire, look …"
Xin Zhengnan pointed at the guards at the west gate.
Although they were very far away and didn't know what they were talking about, they could tell that the guards didn't have any intention of being on guard at all.
All of them were chatting with each other with their mouths wide open.
There were even a few people who held a bottle gourd in their hands and continuously poured it into their mouths, causing them to stagger as they walked.
"Look at these guys, they weren't on guard at all. The person we dealt with most likely came to report, "Xin Zhengnan said with a smile. Xin Zhengnan's face was full of smiles, "Sir, this time I have made a great contribution. When we return, you must reward me."
Han Qing, who was on the side, slapped Xin Zhengnan. It was a very heavy slap, causing Xin Zhengnan to be unable to help but shrink his neck and squat down on the ground while covering his head.
"Esteemed Master! Why did you hit me? "
"You still dare to ask?" Han Qing frowned. "Solving problems for sire is our duty. You actually dare to ask for benefits from sire!"
"I-I was just saying," Xin Zhengnan felt a bit wronged.
Xin Zhengnan felt a little wronged. He was just a little proud just now, as if he was asking for credit.
He naturally didn't expect Ye Zichen to give him any rewards.
Ever since he started following Ye Zichen, his food was much better than before. He already felt very happy to be able to eat chicken drumsticks every day.
Xin Zhengnan could only twitch his mouth and not retort when he saw Han Qing's gaze.
He had been by Han Qing's side since he was young. Han Qing was both his esteemed master and his strict father.
If one had to say who he was most afraid of, it would definitely be Han Qing.
He didn't dare to talk back to Han Qing.
During this time, Ye Zichen paid close attention to the situation in the west of the village. His knitted eyebrows never once relaxed.
"Store Manager, are we going to do it now?" asked the employee that Ye Zichen hired.
"I think it's best to act now."
Xin Zhengnan suddenly popped up, "While West Gate's people are not paying attention, let's get rid of them as soon as possible. Otherwise, if someone finds out that the messenger was killed and sends another one, it will be troublesome."
"If you don't speak, I won't make you a mute," Han Qing rebuked.
Ye Zichen glanced at Xin Zhengnan without saying anything.
On the surface, Xin Zhengnan's thoughts weren't wrong.
While they were lax, he had to settle this as soon as possible, lest a long night brings trouble.
Not only him, but most of the people here had the same thought. It was just that they didn't say it as quickly as Xin Zhengnan.
Ye Zichen felt like something was off!
"Han Qing, Senior Qing Hui, Chicano, what do you think?"
After hesitating for a while, Ye Zichen was unable to come to a decision. Instead, he turned to Han Qing, Qing Hui, and Chicano and asked.
"My little friend in the future, it's best if you don't call me senior," Qing Hui smiled. Qing Hui smiled. "In terms of experience and strength, Han Qing and Chicano are both my seniors, but they're both your subordinates. I don't feel comfortable with you calling me that. What's more, you're the one who saved my life … "
"Qingyu is my friend, so it's only natural for me to do so," said Ye Zichen.
"Then if you don't mind, then just call me Uncle Qing," said Qing Hui.
"Uncle Qing," Ye Zichen nodded.
"The way I see it, I feel like there's something wrong with this West Gate," said Qing Hui after a moment's hesitation.
"Qing Hui is right, I feel the same way," said Han Qing.
Chicano nodded as well, then looked towards the West Gate with a solemn gaze.
"Why do you say that?"
Ye Zichen also felt that this place was a bit strange, but he didn't know what was strange about it.
"They're too lax," Qing Hui looked at the guards outside.
Qing Hui looked at the guards outside and said.
They aren't exactly cautious by nature, but they definitely wouldn't be drinking and having fun at such an important time, "said Qing Hui.
Alcohol …
I didn't expect the Second Universe to have alcohol as well. It seems like humans really do like alcohol.
At first, Ye Zichen was wondering why those people were swaying around.
So it was because they were drunk.
"In short, they're acting too deliberately," Han Qing explained.
"Look carefully, whether it's where they're standing or the way they're walking, they're actually avoiding the formation masters on purpose. In fact, they are deliberately avoiding those Array Masters, giving us the illusion that we can deal with them as soon as we go. "
"That's right," Ye Zichen nodded.
The guards were indeed ridiculously far from the formation masters. They weren't like this even when they were attacking the East Gate.
"But this is actually a trap," added Chicano. Chicano chimed in, "Don't be fooled by the fact that these people seem to be standing very far away. In fact, if we get close to the Array Master, they can instantly shrink and trap us inside. When that happens, we'll be surrounded by them, and there's no way for us to escape."
"Also …"
"I noticed the number of guards," Chicano rubbed his chin. Chicano stroked his chin and said, "Whether it's the East Gate or the South Gate … The number of guards is a standard army of a thousand. However, the number of people at the West Gate doesn't even reach three hundred. "
"That's true!" Han Qing raised his eyebrows. "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have noticed it!"
Ye Zichen couldn't help but think back.
The number of people there was indeed a lot less.
"It's a trap!"
Qing Hui said. "The people here are waiting for us to go over, then they'll catch us all in one fell swoop. Everything we see here is what they want us to see, but who knows how many people are hiding around, waiting for us to fall into their trap. It's very possible that when we go out, we'll be surrounded by over ten thousand people. "
"It can't be," Xin Zhengnan was shocked, while everyone else's expression turned cold.
Both Chicano and Han Qing nodded.
What Qing Hui said was what the two of them wanted to say as well.
The three strongest and most knowledgeable people made the same judgment, and Ye Zichen was willing to believe them.
What's more …
Ye Zichen felt that something was wrong from the start.
"If that's the case, then what should we do?" Winnie bit her lips in confusion. "Are we going somewhere else?"
Chicano shook his head. It was time for Ye Zichen to make a decision.
No matter how they analyzed it, they were subordinates.
Advance or retreat.
He had to make the decision!
