Somewhere in Sangmazhai.

Jiang Chen and Zheng Peng met again.

only.

At this time, the two of them were filled with worries and melancholy, and their faces became solemn.

It is now evening, the sun has gradually set, but the reinforcements from the Alliance still have not appeared.

Jiang Chen looked at Zheng Peng doubtfully and asked.

"What is the specific situation now?"

Zheng Peng shook his head slightly and replied.

"The person in charge of the alliance said before that they would contact me when the reinforcements arrived, but they never heard any news!"

"You didn't contact the head of the alliance again?"

"Of course! But the answer they gave was that it was a long way and it would take time to travel. Let me wait patiently!"

"Wait patiently?" Jiang Chen frowned, "We can wait, but I'm afraid these people can't wait!"

Jiang Chen's eyes slowly swept across the carnival crowd.

Zheng Peng naturally understood the meaning of Jiang Chen's words and replied.

"I understand what you mean, and I have also reported it to my superiors."

"However, the league's top officials thought this was just my personal speculation, so they didn't pay much attention to it."

Jiang Chen nodded clearly, but didn't say much.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen suddenly asked.

"What will you do if Alliance reinforcements do not arrive in time?"

"Um?"

Zheng Peng was slightly startled, thought for a moment, and said with a wry smile.

"What else can I do? I have to fight to the death!"

"No matter what, you can't just watch innocent people die here!"

Having said this, Zheng Peng glanced at Jiang Chen again and whispered.

"It sounds silly, but that's our mission, isn't it?"

"Silly, indeed a bit stupid!" Jiang Chen murmured softly.

"If I'm not wrong, you will make the same choice, right?" Zheng Peng asked.

"Maybe!" Jiang Chen replied noncommittally.

The two fell silent again!

…

Time passed quickly while waiting silently.

In the blink of an eye, it was completely dark!

at this time.

The lights in Sangmazhai also dimmed, leaving only a small number of people leaving Sangmazhai in twos and threes and walking towards their residences, with bursts of laughter coming from their mouths.

Among these people were Jiang Chen, Chen Juxing, and Zheng Peng.

only.

When interacting with other tourists around them, the expressions of Jiang Chen and the other two people seemed much heavier.

There is still no news of reinforcements from the Alliance!

The three of them silently returned to the stilted building where tourists lived, and finally parted ways!

"Take care of yourself!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Jiang Chen and Zheng Peng said goodbye to each other and went back!

at this time.

Both of them knew very clearly that since there had been no news of reinforcements from the Alliance, something must have happened to them.

Next, the only one they can rely on is themselves!

When Jiang Chen returned to the room, Xiaobai jumped directly onto his shoulders!

Jiang Chen reached out and rubbed Xiaobai's little head and asked.

"Xiaobai, how are you? Has anyone been here today?"

Xiaobai shook his head, and then made some gestures, which meant that everything was normal today and no one came!

"Did those guys never come over again?"

"It seems that they also realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere here, so they didn't dare to take action rashly!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen suddenly turned his head and said to Xiao Bai on his shoulder.

"Xiao Bai, if something bad happens suddenly here, you must turn around and leave directly. Don't worry about me."

Xiao Bai didn't understand why Jiang Chen said this, but he still shook his head.

"Be obedient and I'll be fine. Just wait for me outside after you escape. I'll find you later!"

Jiang Chen kept admonishing Xiaobai like he was coaxing a child, but Xiaobai always stubbornly shook his head and stated that he would never leave alone.

After a while, Jiang Chen finally stopped talking.

After all, he had already run out of words and failed to persuade Xiaobai in the end, so he had no choice but to give up!

After whispering again, everyone and the fox fell asleep one after another.

——————————————

Somewhere dozens of kilometers away from Sangmazhai.

Under the hazy moonlight, more than twenty figures could be vaguely seen rushing towards a certain direction.

Among these people are men and women, old and young.

If you look carefully, you can see that some people are still injured, and their condition is obviously not right!

That's right.

These people are the reinforcements sent to Sangmazhai by the Anti-Evil Alliance.

The old man in the team is none other than Elder Wang, who has primary strength at the heaven level.

The other six middle-aged men in gray Taoist uniforms with an imposing manner are members of the Xuanwu Special Operations Team, and they are all low-level practitioners!

As for the remaining ten people, they were members of three action teams from nearby cities. They had different cultivation levels, and several of them were injured.

After Jiang Chen and the others reported the specific information to the alliance, Elder Wang led the Xuanwu Special Operations Team to Lingde City as quickly as possible and joined the three action teams waiting there.

After the group of people reunited, they immediately set off towards the Shiwan Mountains.

However.

Before they could get close to Shiwan Mountain, they were ambushed by the enemy - several high-level formations trapped them!

Although Elder Wang took action, they were not in much danger, but a few people still lost their jobs because they reacted too slowly.

The most important thing is that the opponent's formation destroyed their means of transportation, forcing them to rely on their own legs to travel.

Obviously, the other party's purpose is to delay their support and has no intention of confronting them head-on.

During the subsequent journey, they encountered attacks from the formation several times.

The successive attacks seriously slowed down the team's progress, and people in the team were injured one after another, but they saw no trace of the enemy from beginning to end!

This situation undoubtedly made them feel annoyed!

When they reached a certain place, the leader, Elder Wang, suddenly stopped. Seeing this, the others behind him also stopped.

"Elder Wang, what's wrong?"

"There seems to be something wrong up front!"

After the words fell, Elder Wang released his spiritual consciousness and looked forward.

After a few breaths, Elder Wang withdrew his spiritual consciousness and spoke directly without waiting for anyone to ask questions.

"There should be an ambush ahead, let's take a detour!"

Elder Wang also had some uncertainty in his tone.

He had discovered before that even he could not completely detect the formation set up by the other party. It was obvious that the other party was a true formation master.

Although he did not explore the situation clearly ahead, for the sake of safety, he decided to change the route.
