In Field Ridge Town, two men in black robes and two steel puppets appeared in a field. After exchanging glances, one of them controlled the eighteen wooden puppets in his sleeves to spread out.
Those little wooden dolls quickly spread out as if they were searching for something.
After half an hour, one of them suddenly said, "Yun Yi, I found a clue. It's in the northwest."
Yun Yi took off the hood of her black robe and looked northwest. "Let's go."
The two of them did not fly, but ran on the ground. They had just returned, and there was not much difference between them and the first time they had arrived, so it was better to be cautious.
Yun Yi stood above a mountain stream. Her white and delicate face suddenly furrowed. "It's not alive. No one has been here for a long time."
"Did something happen to Zhang Weiyu and the others?" The burly Hu Zhi scanned the surroundings. "I can see footprints nearby, as well as horse hoofprints. It looks like an army has been here. Look, the rocks at the bottom of the stream are cracked. Someone used a weapon to smash it open."
"Let's go in and take a look." Yun Yi jumped down the stream first and then headed straight for a small waterfall. The water from the waterfall parted automatically when it came into contact with Yun Yi. She seemed to have an invisible presence.
After entering, Hu Zhi took out a night pearl to light up the cave hidden behind the waterfall. There were tattered blankets and some rotten food inside, but they had been rummaged through.
The tattered and dirty blankets had marks of being cut by a sharp weapon. It seemed like someone had searched the place with a weapon.
"There are no signs of fighting or blood. They should have escaped early," Yun Yi said calmly. "Who was chasing them and was able to find this place?"
However, Hu Zhi was very quiet. "Look at what they're eating. The bowl in the corner is still half-full, and the blankets are tattered. They must have had a hard time these years."
Yun Yi looked at the broken bowl. If they had not been in such dire straits, why would they eat something like this?
Moreover, the chaff didn't look like it had been there for many years. From the looks of it, it couldn't have been placed there for more than a year. Therefore, Zhang Weiyu and the others were actually still waiting. However, due to a sudden change of events, they were forced to leave Field Ridge Town.
The eighteen puppets Hu Zhi had released were actually used to find Zhang Weiyu and the others, but they did not find them.
In the end, they found some clues in the agreed mountain stream, but the cave was empty.
Thinking about the situation of the Blackfeather Army attacking Tengra's Earth Net, Yun Yi suddenly said, "Duanmu Huangqi's people probably came here, but Zhang Weiyu and the others got the news and left."
If the Black Feather Army had not attacked Earth, Yun Yi and Hu Zhi would not have known about Duanmu Huangqi's intentions. This was the border of Xi Zhou, so it was not difficult to guess who had sent troops here.
However, how did Duanmu Huangqi find out about the spatial passageway to Earth? And who gave him the courage to do something like this?
"Wait." Hu Zhi suddenly said, "Do you think Zhang Weiyu is already with that person? He'll pass by here. "
"It's not impossible." Yun Yi nodded and said calmly, "If that's really the case, then we can only hope that his style is still normal."
As she spoke, Yun Yi controlled a small wooden puppet to walk into the cave, and then it burrowed into a small hole only as thick as an arm. If one did not look closely, they would not be able to tell that the small black hole hid any secrets. It was just like an ordinary natural structure that went very deep into the ground.
After a while, Yun Yi revealed a surprised expression.
"What's wrong?" Hu Zhi asked curiously.
However, at this moment, the small wooden puppet was holding a black stone orb. There was a note tied to the stone orb. There was nothing unusual about the stone orb. It was used for the note to roll into the depths of the ground. The small puppet jumped onto Yun Yi's hand. Yun Yi opened the note and saw that it was Zhang Weiyu's handwriting: The Blackfeather Army invaded the border. We waited here for 18 years before being forced to leave. Only 56 of us remain, and we have not forgotten our original intentions.
Hu Zhi glanced at it and sighed. "It's really been hard on them."
Yun Yi said calmly, "Third Brother has already sacrificed himself to the tree for his sins. It's time for them to be forgotten. However, finding them now is a troublesome matter. Let's deal with more important matters first."
"Alright." Hu Zhi nodded. Although he sympathized with Zhang Weiyu and the others, he could only cast his sympathy aside in the face of important matters.
Before the two of them returned, they had agreed that the first thing they would do after returning would be to confirm if their big brother, the leader of the puppeteers, was dead or not. If he was, where his body was, and if it was buried.
There were many strange things about what had happened back then. Ze Meng, who had long been thought to be dead, had "come alive" again. Thus, a ray of hope was reignited in Yun Yi and Hu Zhi. Neither of them had actually seen their big brother die. They just felt that there was no reason for him to be alive.
Even if he was really dead, they would find his bones and bury him. That way, their many years of brotherhood and sisterhood would not be in vain.
Hu Zhi knew that the return and reconciliation of Crafty Approach had made Yun Yi yearn for something called kinship again.
When they had been young, they had followed the Old Divine King. The Old Divine King had been like a patriarch, everyone's elder brother, and every puppeteer had been a member of the family.
Later, they had all had differences due to power, and their relationship had slowly faded.
At the time, Yun Yi had still been a little girl. Everyone had doted on her and let her be. Now that she had grown up, she was trying to regain some of what she had once lost.
The two of them walked out of the cave and headed northwest. Eighteen years ago, they had been chased from there.
Hu Zhi suddenly hesitated. "Should we go find King first? What if he's in danger?"
Yun Yi glanced at Hu Zhi. "If King needed us to take care of him, he wouldn't be King. You see, when he was on Earth, without us taking care of him, he was still alive and kicking. "
"That's true." Hu Zhi was immediately convinced by Yun Yi …
Now, they were the only two puppeteers left. Many people in the outside world knew that Hu Zhi was domineering, but in private, he listened to his big brother the most. When his big brother was not around, he listened to Yun Yi. At the end of the day, he was not willing to make any decisions himself. He was only willing to be an executor.
Yun Yi asked as they walked, "What do you want to eat tonight? Hot pot or barbecue? "
Hu Zhi thought about it. "Barbecue?"
"Eat, eat, eat. You only know how to eat. Let's find a place to eat the fruit and go through the Heavenly Tribulation first!" Yun Yi said in disdain.
Hu Zhi: "???"
Wasn't that what you were asking about?
