The information release area, which had been bustling before, has gradually quieted down, and an indescribable solemn atmosphere is floating over the entire area.
It's like the calm before the storm.
Then, the calm was broken by a violent roar: "You bastard, how dare you cut off my hand!"
It’s true!
His face was twisted with rage, and he reached out from behind his waist and pulled out a deep red long sword. The blood-red blade flashed, and he turned the long sword in his hand, changing from an inverted grip to a normal grip, raised his arm and raised the sword, and was about to sprint with star energy.
A hand grabbed him.
Tie Zhen was so angry that veins bulged on his forehead. Without even looking at him, he shouted, "Who dares to stop me?"
Then I saw a short old man beside me, wearing gray clothes and without any armor.
He had long eyebrows, a goatee, a blue face, and looked like he was about to die.
But when he saw the old man, Tie Zhen's momentum dropped, and he said timidly: "Master Qing, why are you here, aren't you..."
The old man called 'Qing Lao' glanced at him calmly and said, "If I don't come, you'll be dead. Tie Zhen, what did I tell you? Don't mess with people you can't afford to mess with."
Tiezhen looked at Tianyang fiercely and said unconvincedly: "It's just a little kid..."
Snapped!
The short old man slapped his hands in the air, but Tie Zhen, who was much taller than him, seemed to slap an invisible person in the face. His face turned to the other side, and a red palm print gradually appeared.
Qing Lao put his hands behind his back and cast a sinister gaze on Tian Yang: "You can't even see how he draws his sword, what qualifications do you have to provoke him?"
"but... "
"Although my man did something wrong, you cut off his arm without any reason. Aren't you too angry?"
Tian Yang felt an invisible pressure from this silent old man. He turned around slowly and said calmly, "Angry? No, I'm just teaching those guys who don't know their own limits a lesson."
"There's no need for me to get mad at a fool."
The veins on Tiezhen's head popped out again: "Who are you calling a fool?"
Qing Lao coughed dryly and said, "Hurry up and pick up your hand. Let's go back and see if we can reconnect it."
Tiezhen was extremely afraid of this old man and did not dare to act rashly. He glared at Tianyang angrily, trotted over, picked up the broken arm, and left the release area in shame.
Elder Qing then said slowly, "The Sky Fortress is indeed full of talented people. No wonder it was able to win the Fortress War. There is indeed some truth to it."
"My friend, you are so young, yet you have such a character and ability. It is really rare. How about this, you come over to my side, and I won't bother with you about the real thing."
"Also, I can give you double the reward, how about that?"
The companions who came with Tiezhen all looked at the old man in surprise. They seemed to have not expected that Mr. Qing would actually recruit this silver-haired young man and offer him such a high reward of double his salary.
Tian Yang didn't rush to answer, but looked the old man up and down: "You are not from the fortress, which means that you are hired to stand here."
"As an employed person, you dare to offer a reward. This kind of behavior of usurping the throne makes me really worried for the family that hired you."
Qing Lao uttered a smile with a fake smile on his face.
Yin: "Don't worry, my promise is absolutely valid. This old man and the head of the Xie family are close friends, and my words are his words."
It turned out to be the Xie family!
When I heard about the Xie family, the past came to my mind. In the family competition, the Xie family suffered heavy losses, although in the later stage of the competition, the Xie family took the risk of robbing a batch of supplies from the Bai family, which is why they did not withdraw from the competition.
But even if they gained something in the competition, it was far less than their losses. No wonder the Xie family had to recruit outsiders to explore the secret realm this time.
"I appreciate your kindness, but my employer is pretty good and I have no plans to change jobs." Tianyang said as he moved towards the exit and was about to leave.
But he knew that since he had refused, the old man would definitely not let him go easily.
So the young man secretly held the moonlight, ready to take action at any time.
Sure enough, Qing Lao smiled sinisterly and said, "If you don't serve me, and you hurt my people, and don't leave anything behind, how can I convince the people?"
Behind the old man, his hands, which were placed behind his back, emitted wisps of pale green light.
Tianyang also did not stop walking, but his thumb gently pushed the "Moonlight", and the long sword came out of the sheath an inch.
Just as the two were about to attack, a domineering aura enveloped them, and it was clearly targeted at Qing Lao.
Then Yun Feng's voice rang out: "Tell me your name, I want to see who dares to ask the people of my Yun family to leave something behind!"
Hearing the word "Yun Family", Old Qing raised his eyebrows, the pale green light on his hand gradually faded, and he slowly turned around.
Just outside the exit of the release area, Yunfeng stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes lowered, looking down at Qing Lao.
Anger rose in Qing Lao's heart. The young man in front of him looked very proud and rude, and he didn't take him seriously at all.
But the other party was a young genius of the Yun family. Elder Qing did not dare to show his anger, so he could only avoid the main point and said: "So it's Master Yunfeng, but even if it's the Qingtian Yun family, is it really okay to be so partial to your subordinates?"
Yun Feng said proudly: "What a joke. If you don't even protect your own subordinates, who else can you expect to work for you? If they are indeed at fault, the Yun family will clean up the mess, and it is not the turn of outsiders to point fingers."
He looked at Tianyang again: "Who started it just now?"
Tian Yang smiled and asked back: "Do I look like the kind of person who likes to stir up trouble?"
Yun Feng immediately said, "They were the first to make the move. You did a pretty good job. But it's still a little short. Anyone who dares to disrespect our Yun family should have his hands chopped off. If he dares to speak rudely, just kill him. There's no need to bother with him."
"Otherwise, others will think that my Yun family's huge foundation was built by just talking."
His eyes were as sharp as swords, and he stabbed towards Qing Lao fiercely!
The old man wanted to vomit blood after hearing this. Tian Yang cut off Tie Zhen's arm, which made him very angry. This time he brought his elite men to join the Xie family, hoping to make a name for himself in the exploration of secret realms. As a result, he suffered a great loss at the hands of Tian Yang as soon as he arrived at the forward base.
He wanted to argue with the Yun family again, but ended up running into Yun Feng who was even more unreasonable, and the old man just couldn't get angry.
He was so upset that he almost walked away.
Yunfeng sneered and waved, "Let's go. Why are you here? We have important things to do. Don't waste time on meaningless things."
Tianyang shrugged, winked at Sui An, and the two of them left Qing Lao's side.
Pass by and walk out the door.
Yun Feng turned around, said "Oh" again, tapped his forehead, and said to the old man: "Well, come to our Yun family's rest area later, get some money and go back to treat your subordinate, so that people won't say that our Yun family is arrogant and domineering."
Finally, Qing Lao couldn't help it and coughed. He reached out and gently wiped his mouth, collecting the mouthful of blood in his hand.
He is really mad!
You hurt someone, and you took money to humiliate me, and after that you still want to say that you are not arrogant or overbearing at all. This is really too much, too much!
"Walk!"
"Let's go back!"
Old Qing almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
Yun family camp.
Back in the rest area, Yunfeng gave orders and called several captains, including Tianyang, to hold an emergency meeting in the main tent.
A virtual shield floated in the air, and on the screen was the map that Tianyang had seen in the information area, but in more detail. Many areas were marked out, and most of these areas had the marks of the Fortress Family.
Yunfeng didn't say anything in the opening remarks, and went straight to the point: "I just came back from the base command center. The current basic situation of this secret realm is like this. Except for us, the Upper Five Sects, and families like the Xie family, which are still quite powerful, other families can only get the task of regional defense."
"The ghost wave just now was an accidental phenomenon. More often than not, ghosts will wander around in the Scarlet Forest. The defense mission assigned to each company is to ensure that the number of ghosts in the area is maintained below a certain level to prevent a large number of ghosts from attacking the base."
"As for the main force of the fortress and our teams, defense is not our job. Our mission is to advance deeper into the Scarlet Forest, explore places that have never been set foot on, and finally, reach that nameless city."
"It is worth noting that the black area where the nameless city is located is protected by an unknown force. An elite fortress team once approached the area and tried to break through, but in the end the team never came back."
"So we know nothing about that power, but for us, this issue does not need to be considered for the time being."
"There are still many unexplored areas in the Scarlet Forest. Perhaps some of the secrets of this secret realm are hidden in them."
"We will rest in the camp for 12 hours and then set off. I will send the route map to you guys then."
At this point, Yunfeng paused, then said: "However, after entering the Scarlet Forest, we must do one thing first, and then advance the exploration according to the roadmap given to us by the fortress."
Except for Tianyang, the other three captains exchanged glances, and then Han Yu asked: "Master Yunfeng, what's going on?"
Yunfeng snorted and said, "I don't know where the Xie family recruited a group of weird guys. I had a conflict with them in the information release area just now."
"If nothing unexpected happens, these guys will definitely harass us during our exploration."
"So I have to strike first. Once I enter the jungle, I will find a chance to kill them!"
Tianyang was a little surprised to hear Yunfeng's words. In fact, the boy had already decided that after entering the forest, he would use the Mist Ghost Amulet to transform into another identity and go looking for trouble with Qing Lao and his men.
Unexpectedly, Yunfeng was more decisive than himself. He had already made up his mind to eliminate this gang of people after entering the forest to prevent future troubles!
