"Trouble!"
Seeing the old woman appearing in front of him, Xu Ning was also shocked.
This old woman belongs to Princess Molan, strictly speaking, she is her own enemy.
Xu Ning squeezed a piece of spar tightly in his hand. This is a tool for calling for help. If it is activated in case of danger, Dong Ji can come to the rescue. Only Duan Chaofeng's cronies are equipped with this tool for calling for help.
Boom!
Just when Xu Ning was about to push it, the old woman flicked her fingertips, and a sharp air shot directly into Xu Ning's palm.
With a bang, Xu Ning's palm was directly blasted through a bloody hole.
And the aid object held tightly in his hand was also shattered.
"Senior, I don't know what offended you?"
Xu Ning calmed down and ignored his injury.
Facing the old woman right now, he has no power to fight back, so he can only try to remain calm.
"Are you from Prince Ye's son?"
The old woman asked, looking up and down from Xu Ning.
"Yes."
Xu Ning was quite calm.
The old woman nodded and approached Xu Ning.
"Four layers of Dao Realm Congealing Alchemy Realm, but the foundation is so strong..."
The old woman looked at Xu Ning: "Besides, his vitality is extremely vigorous. Obviously, he is not very old... It is even said that his current face is the display of his real age..."
After only a short contact, the old woman found out the details of Xu Ning.
"The aptitude is good, follow me to seek refuge with Princess Mo Lan."
The old woman took a fancy to Xu Ning's potential, and was about to go up and grab Xu Ning by the collar, ready to carry him away.
Xu Ning avoided it almost subconsciously.
However, Xu Ning did not avoid the old woman's movements.
"Doing things with Princess Molan may not be worse than Prince Ye's."
The old woman said with a smile, she was about to vacate.
"Xue Jinghua! Aren't you afraid that we will hold you accountable for robbing my Prince Ye's mansion?"
At the critical moment when Xu Ning was about to be taken away by the old woman, a loud voice came from afar.
Afterwards, Dong Ji appeared on the field.
"Senior Dong Ji!"
Seeing Dong Ji's arrival, Xu Ning felt relieved.
"I obviously didn't push the object for help, why did Senior Dong Ji still come here?"
Xu Ning was puzzled, but now that Dong Ji is here, his safety should be guaranteed.
Sure enough, after seeing Dong Ji coming, Xue Jinghua's expression froze.
"Dong Ji!"
Xue Jinghua looked at Dong Ji with fear.
She knew very well that Dong Ji's strength was at the peak of the seventh level of Dao Realm, and his status in Ye Wangfu was also very high.
Facing this trick by himself, he doesn't have much chance of winning.
"Why, I'm here, and you still plan to take away the people from our Ye Wangfu?"
Dong Ji sneered.
When Xue Jinghua heard this, she narrowed her eyes and put Xu Ning down.
Seeing this, Xu Ning also walked behind Dong Ji.
"You're smart."
Dong Ji glanced at Xu Ning and found that he only suffered some flesh injuries.
Xue Jinghua felt a little lost, but she didn't really care.
Dong Ji wasn't there just now, so it's okay to kidnap Xu Ning by himself.
But if Dong Ji was here, and he still did this in front of him, it would be a direct slap in the face of Ye Wangfu, and the nature of his behavior would also change.
"Next time, be optimistic about your people."
Xue Jinghua gave Dong Ji a cold look, and then flew away with his sword in the air again.
"Thank you Senior Dong Ji!"
When Xue Jinghua left, Xu Ning also cupped his fists and thanked Dong Ji.
If Dong Ji hadn't appeared just now, and he was brought into Mo Lan's place, he didn't know what situation he would have faced.
Dong Ji smiled and shook his head lightly.
As a confidant of King Ye and a senior, Dong Ji admired Xu Ning very much.
"How did you fall into her hands?"
Dong Ji asked.
Afterwards, Xu Ning recounted what happened just now.
"It turned out to be like this..."
Dong figured it out.
"Senior Dong Ji, I didn't activate the rescue tool, how did you find me?"
Xu Ning had doubts in his heart, so he asked at this time.
Dong Ji said: "It was the son who asked me to look for you."
"Why?"
Xu Ning asked.
When I was on other islands before, it was normal for the individual or team looking for the night beast to go out and stay out for a few days before returning to the camp to report.
It has only been less than two days now, why would the son take the initiative to find someone outside.
"In the past two days, among the people we sent to look for the Suoye Beast, several teams have disappeared."
Dong Ji's face was slightly solemn: "Even Zhuo Weisong has disappeared."
"This is where Zhang He discovered something was wrong."
Dong Ji said: "During the search, he brushed past other teams and wanted to go back and exchange information. But walking in the direction of the other team, Zhang He found that the team had disappeared."
"After searching, he couldn't find where the missing person went, so he went back to the camp and reported the matter. Afterwards, the prince began to recall the person. After asking each other, he also found that Zhuo Weisong was missing."
"For this reason, my son was very worried about your safety, so he asked me to come out to find you, but I didn't expect that you would go so far."
"There is such a thing?"
The corner of Xu Ning's eyes twitched: "Is Mo Lan County the initiative?"
"no."
Dong Ji responded: "According to our inquiries, there are also people missing from Princess Molan's side. Then Xue Jinghua came out of the camp, and it is estimated that she also recalled the people outside..."
"Is that so..."
Xu Ning was also alert.
"It should be the hidden crisis on this island..."
Dong Ji narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Come on, let's go back to the camp."
Dong Ji grabbed Xu Ning, flew directly into the air, and hurried back to the camp.
During this trip, he had to protect Duan Chaofeng. If he hadn't come to find Xu Ning, he would never have left Duan Chaofeng's side.
Dong Ji, who is at the seventh level of Dao Realm, flies in the air at an extremely fast speed, not much worse than flying monsters of the same level.
"My son, the man brought it back."
Not long after, Dong Ji brought Xu Ning to Duan Chaofeng.
Duan Chaofeng originally breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw Xu Ning's unhealed injury, he frowned: "Are you injured?"
Then, Dong Ji told about Xu Ning's experience.
"Mo Lan's people, are they already so rampant..."
Duan Chaofeng's face was a little ugly.
But he also knew that right now was not the time to ask for an explanation, and there were other important matters to deal with.
"My son."
At this time, Zhang He also came back from the outside.
"Except for a few people who were sent to find the trace of the missing team, the rest of the people have all been summoned back."
Zhang He reported to Duan Chaofeng.
"On this island, how many people have we disappeared?"
Duan Chaofeng asked.
"Among them, a total of thirty-seven people from the palace, including Zhuo Weisong, are missing, and ten of the accompanying Beast Master are missing."
Zhang He replied.
When Duan Chaofeng heard this, his expression was very serious.
This loss is indeed not small.
Among them, Zhuo Weisong was missing. If he could not be found before this return trip, it would be difficult to explain to his father Zhuo Layerun.
Zhuo Strayun, like Dong Ji, is the most trusted person of King Ye.
Although Zhuo Layeryun certainly did not dare to take anger at himself because of this, it is absolutely impossible to let this matter pass lightly.
In addition, ten master beast masters were also missing.
The beast masters recruited this time are not only the top of Gu Qingzhou, but also people from several nearby states.
They add up to a total of less than fifty people, and now less than two days after arriving on the island, more than a quarter of them have disappeared.
"My lord, this must have been done by some creatures on the island... It may even be the work of Suo Ye Beast..."
At this time, Dong Ji said.
"Oh?"
Duan Chaofeng looked at Dong Ji.
"According to our previous understanding, the disappearance of these teams did not leave any traces. This shows that the behind-the-scenes hands are either extremely powerful and can kill all the missing teams with one blow without making a sound or letting them They cast any call for help...”
"Either... or the method is extremely special, and they can be annihilated or taken away invisibly..."
Dong Ji replied: "The ability of Suo Ye Beast just happens to be in line with the second inference..."
"Shuo Ye Beast is said to be a master at weaving the night."
Dong Ji said: "Its ability is to enable human masters or other monsters to sink into the endless night invisibly..."
"Hiss..."
Duan Chaofeng took a breath of cold air: "You mean, this Suo Ye Beast has already appeared?"
"Most likely."
Dong Ji looked determined.
When Duan Chaofeng heard this, his expression changed slightly.
"If that's the case, then the Suoye Beast's strength is very powerful..."
Zhang He frowned at the side: "Your Majesty, your safety..."
"With Senior Dong here, don't worry about my safety."
Duan Chaofeng said: "In case of danger, I can completely hide in Senior Dong's space treasure. With him around, it's not a big problem."
"But that Suoye beast is so terrifying..."
Zhang He was still a little worried.
"It's true that Suoye Beast has special abilities, but after all, it's only at the middle level of Dao Realm..."
Dong Ji said: "I am a high-ranking grandmaster of the seventh level of Dao Realm, and it has no chance of winning against me... Otherwise, it would not pick on the team that is alone outside, but directly attack our camp..."
Dong Ji's words were directly assumed, and it was Suo Ye beast who made the move.
Dong Ji's words reassured Zhang He and the others.
As long as Dong Ji is here, everyone's safety can be guaranteed.
"In this case, let's all stay in the camp first."
Duan Chaofeng said: "Wait until the searchers get some clues, then we will act..."
After confirming that Suo Ye Beast is very likely to show up, Duan Chaofeng is both cautious and expectant.
The goal of this trip may already be in sight.
Just when Duan Chaofeng was about to dismiss the crowd, a guard broke in.
"My son!"
The guard hurriedly reported: "There is news from the front, they found the accompanying items of the missing person!"
"what?"
The expressions of the people present also changed.
"Is it so efficient..."
Xu Ning felt a little puzzled.
Obviously just disappeared, and there is no clue at the scene, so why did you find the accompanying items now
