Under the leadership of Ren Zhifei, everyone fled to the hillside behind. Under the hillside was a dense forest. Although Ren Zhifei had only been in the camp for less than a month, he had already understood the surrounding terrain very clearly. As he walked, he said that there was a cave next to the stream ahead, which was very hidden. We are hiding there, and even the Guixu believers cannot easily discover us.
Just as Ren Zhifei was saying this, he heard Jiang Cheng groan beside him. He turned around and saw the other person falling to the ground.
At the same time, Xu Dingjia also felt weak all over. He knelt on the ground and said feebly: "There seems to be some weird power in the vines, and it is eroding my spirit now!"
The two men lost the ability to move, and the team was suddenly unable to move forward. Ren Zhifei looked behind him nervously. Although no one could be seen at this time, he knew that the Guixu believers would never give up the pursuit.
"What to do now!" Ren Zhifei said at a loss.
Pang Cheng was still calm and said: "Find a place nearby to hide. Whether we can hide or not depends on our luck. At worst, we will fight them to the death!"
Ren Zhifei nodded, thinking silently, "They will be fine! They still have an important mission, and nothing will happen here!"
Pang Cheng and his men spent a lot of trouble and moved Xu Dingjia and Jiang Cheng behind a big rock. Others also huddled behind the rocks carefully, not even daring to take a second look outside, for fear that they would be discovered by the Guixu believers who were chasing them. Nearly an hour passed, but no one noticed any signs of the Guixu believers chasing after them. Only then did Ren Zhifei dare to stick his head out, only to see the deep forest was quiet and there was no trace of the enemy in the distance.
"Perhaps they have chased them to other places." Ren Zhifei said this and took a long breath.
After resting for a while, Jiang Cheng slowly woke up, and his face regained some color. Seeing this, Ren Zhifei said in surprise: "You're awake! How do you feel now?"
Jiang Cheng stood up slowly, with a confused expression. He closed his eyes for a while and then said, "Strange? I found that all the injuries on my body have disappeared?"
Ren Zhifei couldn't believe it. At this time, he looked at the other person's back. Not only were there no wounds, but even the clothes were intact and not damaged at all.
"There is nothing surprising about this." Xu Dingjia said, "These vines are spiritual entities. When we were attacked, we fell into the illusion. Until we escaped before, the influence of the illusion still remained, and it is only now that we are slowly disappear."
Ren Zhifei asked: "If this is the case, does it mean that you are all fine?"
"No." Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "I feel that my mental power has been suppressed, and now I am just like an ordinary person."
Xu Dingjia also said: "Although the scene we saw is fake, the strange power invading the body is real!"
Ren Zhifei recalled the sick people in the camp and said worriedly: "Then wouldn't you become... like the sick people?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said: "I feel the existence of a strange force in my consciousness, but it has not been damaged at all. My current mental power is fighting against that force. After a while, I may be able to put it in my body." Clear.”
Xu Dingjia also said: "According to my speculation, the power of the vines is mainly aimed at strangers, so it did not have such a serious impact on us. Jiang Cheng's estimate is correct, we can offset the impact of that power. It's just that Before that, we can no longer use mental power."
Hearing what Xu Dingjia said, Ren Zhifei finally felt relieved.
But just when he was relieved, he heard Pang Cheng suddenly shouting into the distance, "Who is there!"
The hearts of everyone present suddenly rose again.
Just behind a tree less than ten meters away from the crowd, three people walked out one after another. They were all middle-aged, tall and thin, and looked quite similar. Everyone present did not expect that the other party was so close to them, and they only noticed it at this time. However, after Pang Cheng saw the visitor, his tone obviously softened a lot and said, "It turns out it's you."
Ren Zhifei took a closer look and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, he is not a Guixu believer."
Seeing the confused expressions of Jiang Cheng and Xu Dingjia, Ren Zhifei introduced: "These three people are the patrol team of the stronghold."
Xu Dingjia relaxed and saw the appearance of the three people and asked jokingly: "Are these three triplets?"
Ren Zhifei replied: "Yes, they are brothers. We are used to calling them the three Zhou brothers. The one standing in the middle is the eldest brother Zhou Hao, the one on the left is Zhou Hang, and the one on the right is Zhou Xian."
"Zhou Xian?" When Jiang Cheng heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He did not dare to show his shock at this time, but asked calmly, "Is there anyone with the same name in your camp...?"
Ren Zhifei shook his head and said: "There are only a few hundred people in the camp at most. How can there be people with the same name in this situation?"
Jiang Cheng's heartbeat was getting faster and faster. He looked at Xu Dingjia, who also pressed his lips tightly, but his eyes were as shocked as his own.
Both of them had read the letter from the wilderness and knew that among the Guixu believers, there was a little leader, and his name was none other than Zhou Xian!
The leader, Zhou Hao, greeted Pang Cheng, glanced at the field, and asked, "Why are you here? Who are the two people next to you? Are they Guixu believers?"
Pang Cheng had no doubt that he was there and told the Zhou brothers the truth.
Ren Zhifei was standing aside and saw that Jiang Cheng and Xu Dingjia's expressions were not right, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with you? Has the injury recurred again?"
When Xu Dingjia heard what Ren Zhifei said, he immediately pretended to moan.
Ren Zhifei was worried about their injuries and hurriedly got closer.
At this time, Jiang Cheng quietly grabbed Ren Zhifei's hand, lowered his voice and said, "Now pretend to help us check the injuries and don't make any sound."
"Huh?" Ren Zhifei heard what the other party said and realized that something had happened. He didn't dare to ask more questions and just followed the instructions.
Jiang Cheng then whispered: "That Zhou Xian is a Guixu believer!"
Even though he was mentally prepared, Ren Zhifei was still taken aback and his body couldn't help but tremble. Fortunately, Pang Cheng and his men were talking to the Zhou brothers and did not notice anything unusual about Ren Zhifei.
"Then what should we do now?" Ren Zhifei asked nervously, "Should we tell Pang Cheng? It's just a Guixu believer, we should be able to deal with it."
"Too naive." Xu Dingjia sneered, "This is so far away from the stronghold, how could they patrol this place? After we were injured, these people suddenly appeared. They clearly got the news from other Guixu believers and came to us!"
"You mean... not only Zhou Xian, but also Zhou Hao and Zhou Hang are Guixu believers?" Ren Zhifei's breathing became rapid, "All three of them?"
