In the dead of the night, the Mountain Picking Squad had already gone through several battles. This escape allowed them to have a good rest.
Lu Chen stared at the night sky in a daze. A figure quietly walked out from behind him.
"Nameless. Night watch must be boring."
Lu Chen turned around. It was Shuang Wu. She walked to Lu Chen's side and sat down beside Lu Chen.
"Why aren't you going to rest? You've also received a heavy injury today. "
"Yes, it's quite serious … I might not be able to participate in the battle for the next few days."
Lu Chen smiled. "Don't worry. Nothing will happen."
Shuang Wu smiled and looked at Lu Chen. "But I can give you a Frost Arrow."
Lu Chen smiled.
"Hey, do you miss your teammates in the 2nd Celestial Layer?"
Lu Chen thought for a moment. He didn't seem to have any teammates … The only thing he was worried about was Kuang Lang's friends. "Yes, it's alright. After all, I've only been here for a day. But sometimes, I'm worried about them."
"Are you the leader?"
"You can say that. I'm the leader, but I'm just a boss."
Shuang Wu covered her face and laughed. "Hehe, I think you're quite responsible. You didn't leave any of us behind in the Lightning Pool. Even if you're not familiar with us, you still had to face our attacks."
Lu Chen shook his head. "There's competition everywhere in the Jiutian. Naturally, we'll be on guard against others at the beginning."
"Sigh …" Shuang Wu sighed. "Humans claim to be smart, but they're actually the stupidest. After fighting for so long, we finally realize that in the eyes of the other races, we're nothing."
Lu Chen looked at Shuang Wu. This girl's knowledge wasn't something an ordinary girl could compare to.
"Right, Shuang Wu, I heard that there's a Five Great Powers in the 2nd Celestial Layer. Do you know what they are?"
"You don't know? You're able to pass the 2nd Celestial Layer. You really don't know about this? "
Lu Chen shook his head.
Shuang Wu thought for a while and explained patiently, "The five major forces are the Mu Family, the Bei Xue Family, the National Army, the Jinguang Temple, and the Hall of Reincarnation."
Lu Chen blinked his eyes. If that was the case, then he might have some relationship with two of the five major forces.
There was no need to mention the Wood Manor. From his interactions with Jiu 'er, Lu Chen gradually came to know that the Wood Manor was not an ordinary organization. As for the National Army … he didn't know if the National Yanran was one of them.
"Where's the Heart Refinement Courtyard? Didn't you say that the Heart Refinement Courtyard is also very strong? "
"The Heart Refinement Academy is not a human force. You should have entered the Heart Refinement Academy when you were in the Second Heaven, right? Actually, the Heart Refinement Academy is spread across almost all the worlds. From the Second Heaven to the higher Heaven Domains, it is said that it is distributed everywhere." Shuang Wu said, "Actually, the higher the level of Heaven Domain, the more you will discover that Jiutian has many secrets beyond your imagination."
"The Five Great Forces are the strongest human forces that I know of. However, I'm not sure if there are any other forces above them."
Lu Chen nodded. He had the same feeling.
But no matter what, in Lu Chen's mind, his understanding of the 3rd Heavenly Layer had deepened.
Shuang Wu accompanied Lu Chen for a while. Seeing that she was too tired, Lu Chen let her go back first.
"Go offline and have a good rest."
Shuang Wu smiled at Lu Chen. "Oh right, there's one more thing I need to remind you. I've been in Brother Shan's team for a while. In our team, I can be sure that it's safe. However, if you meet a stranger, even if it's the same kind, you can't trust them easily. "
"Things like going offline and resting should be avoided if possible. Anyway, resting in the game is the same."
Lu Chen nodded. He was very clear about the nature of humans. They would take advantage of the situation and hit someone when they were down. He had to be on guard.
…
The next day, when the sun had just risen, the boulder behind Lu Chen was gently moved away. Li Bashan and the others quietly came out of the cave.
"Hey, Nameless, let's go!"
Lu Chen nodded and looked back into the forest.
That hidden expert really didn't chase after them?
Under Li Bashan's leadership, the team walked through the forest. There seemed to be no pursuers behind them, and they were in human territory. The team members finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Leader, how far are we?"
"Not far. The Scholar's team's territory is just ahead. We'll be there in another hour or so."
"How's the situation over there?"
Li Bashan shook his head. "His place is definitely safer than ours. Among the surrounding villages, his place is the most developed. Last time, he told me that he already has 20 to 30 people under him. With two defensive formations, it's very safe. "
Cut Throat frowned. "Then this time, we won't be recruited by him, right? Many teams are a bit … Anyway, it's not very fair."
Li Bashan shook his head. "Don't worry, I won't be recruited by him. I've known him for so long. I'll bring you guys to get some military points and see if we can take back our stronghold or build a new one."
With Li Bashan's guarantee, everyone felt much more at ease.
After more than an hour, everyone saw a village built against a mountain not far ahead. They couldn't see the inside of the village, but the surrounding walls were much more regular than Li Bashan's.
The walls completely blocked off the area between the mountains. They were more than 30 meters tall and looked like the walls of a large city.
It didn't matter if the village was destroyed or not, but the walls had to be strong!
Just as everyone was about to head to the village, Lu Chen suddenly sensed something and shouted, "Wait! Don't move! "
After the Lightning Pool incident, Lu Chen's words had more or less weight.
Li Bashan looked at Lu Chen in surprise. "Nameless, what's wrong?"
Lu Chen frowned and stared at the wall in front of him. "Something's not right! Look at that wall. Half of the bricks are different in color. It looks like it was just built. "
Third Saint said, "That's normal. Although the wall has a defensive array, it will still be damaged when attacked. We also repair the wall frequently."
Lu Chen shook his head. "Look at the shape of those bricks."
Everyone turned to look. At such a distance, it was actually very difficult to notice. They could only see it clearly if they looked carefully.
After observing for a while, Third Saint's eyes widened. He turned to Lu Chen and said, "That area and shape … Lightning Pool Array?!"
Lu Chen nodded. "The Lightning Pool's damage area is roughly an oblong oval. It's about 200 meters long. The new bricks on the wall coincide with that area!"
Lu Chen's eyesight was extraordinary. In addition, he had personally experienced it. He had also passed through the Lightning Pool's area. Most importantly, Darkness Eye had clearly shown the skill's damage area. Lu Chen was even more familiar with this skill.
The new bricks on the wall were lighter in color. Lu Chen noticed the difference at a glance. After comparing it to the skill, he quickly found something strange.
"Hiss … That means that this place was also attacked by that hidden expert?" Pulling Mountain was shocked.
Lu Chen nodded. "It's very possible. I think that guy attacked this place first and then went to attack our place … I've been wondering why he didn't chase after us when we lost our stronghold. Now that I think about it, it's very likely that after he released the Lightning Pool, he was confident that our team would be defeated. So, he rushed to the next village!"
Everyone thought about it. This was indeed very likely.
"Then, should we go in and take a look?" Big Beard looked at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen said in a low voice, "There's not a single person patrolling the wall. We also didn't encounter any sentries outside. If I'm not wrong, this place has already been conquered."
"D * mn it!" Pulling Mountain punched the tree stump beside him. "Even the scholar's village has been conquered. Have these beasts gone crazy recently? We have nowhere to go now … "
