Xu Ling and his temporary followers squatted on a hill and observed the situation of the fireplace not far away.

It was a place where residents of the outer city live in groups. If you insist on saying it, it should be considered a village. However, no one will take care of them in the city, so it was not officially registered. It was just that the locals just named a dog-chasing place.

At this moment, a house in the village was lit, but the fire was coming to an end. Xu Ling could judge that it was a masterpiece made of an unstable incendiary bomb made of magic crystals.

The flames generated by this thing are extremely hot, so it is no wonder that a house can be burned down in such a short time.

However, due to its unstable characteristics, even if the bumps during a constant speed march are less likely to explode automatically, even if the expeditionary force has seized and copied it, it still has not put it into use.

There were many people gathered in front of this burning house, and the special affairs officers were naturally easy to identify. They were well-dressed and well-equipped.

Xu Ling thought to himself that it is true that those who can light fire here in the middle of the night must not be serious people.

There are other people who are similar in number than them, and they are naturally the indigenous people of this village. Their dress is similar to those of the guides, and it is closer to the original situation of other tribes on the snow field, and even more simple.

After all, there are no god-selected people among these people, and they can't even hunt monsters.

Xu Ling carefully distinguished the sound from the cold wind at night, and wanted to hear clearly what was going on over there, but he could only hear some shouts and roars, and the voices of his speech were all covered by these emotional expressions.

But judging from the state, the people on both sides are not confronting each other, and they don’t know what the situation is.

"Uh, big, sir, what's going on?"

The person who led the pass asked in his throat, he had discovered that Xu Ling was definitely not an ordinary person. According to the custom of Immortal City, if you don’t know, you will be sure to make mistakes.

Xu Ling glanced at him and said, "I still want to ask you. I thought they were here to find us, but it didn't look like this. Otherwise, why would you burn your house?"

The lead man took a deep breath, and the flame reflected in his eyes: "Probably to illuminate it."

"illuminate?!"

Xu Ling was unexpectedly surprised by this answer, "To illuminate, they ordered a house?"

People in this place don’t have any good conditions. The so-called house is just a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so it is naturally very simple, but despite this, it is indeed a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and it is home.

The tone of the lead man did not fluctuate, and he continued: "We are used to it. Every time someone passes by, they may do something. There is no way, we don't even have weapons, and we can even be said to be people from Immortal City. Some people would even rather pass through the protective area of ​​the giant cannon and go outside to join those tribes."

Xu Ling couldn't help asking, "Have they succeeded?"

"I haven't come back anyway."

Xu Ling was silent for a moment, then brought the topic back to the situation in front of him: "Will they hurt people?"

"You know, even if you kill someone in this place, it's not illegal. No, it's illegal in name, but no one cares. If their leader was a good person this time, maybe he wouldn't." The tone of the lead was a little solemn.

Xu Ling frowned, and hesitated a little whether to take action to lure people away under such circumstances.

Theoretically, he should not take any action to expose himself. The people in the village are strangers to him and are passers-by who meet by chance. Ensuring the safety of Simon III is what he should care about.

However, if this group of officials in the affairs department wants to kill many innocent people, he must carefully consider whether he should take the initiative to stand out at this time.

Forget it, observe the enemy's information first. First, know yourself and your enemy. Let's see if you take action.

Xu Ling thought with some delay.

"70 to 80 people, no heavy weapons, no, four sniper rifles, unknown performance, with the God-selected person, the maximum combat power is about 6.0, not detected."

He habitually reported what he saw according to the observation requirements of the Expeditionary Force, but the guides beside him were stunned in time.

"Sir, what did you say?"

"Oh, it's okay."

Xu Ling also realized that the members of Team Nine were no longer around him, which made him wonder what would have been if they were here.

Xie Yilang must have shouted directly that he was about to rush forward. Luo Zhixing would most likely persuade everyone to calm down. Ning Qingshuang would only silently hold the heavy sword in his hand after he made a decision and be ready to attack at any time. However, even if his personalities are different, no one would sit idly by the innocent people.

"No, no, the situation is special now, and if you can't bear it, you will be in trouble with the big plan."

Xu Ling is now responsible for the task of defending the emperor alone, so he must be careful and should not cause any trouble.

There are dozens of people on the other side, as well as mid- and high-level Divine Selectionists. All the staff are equipped with magic crystal guns. If you go up and fight hard, you will definitely not be able to escape the cheapness.

At this time, the lead man said, "Sir, I can go and have a look. My wife and children are there."

Xu Ling didn't know why he wanted to ask for his own opinions. The two of them were not superiors and subordinates. Perhaps they just wanted to find some confidence from the people next to them because of their lack of courage.

"Okay, get close to the shade."

He replied, and began to convince himself: I did this for the purpose of reconnaissance of the enemy, to see if they found the traces of the emperor, either to stand up, well, that's it.

The two of them walked along the back slope and obstacles to the back of the burning house, with the operators and villagers on the other side, which made them less likely to be discovered.

At this time, Xu Ling also saw clearly that the people from the Special Affairs Department did not confront the villagers as a whole, but a villager who seemed not old was following the obviously most powerful God-Selected Person, smiling and nodding.

"I'll say it again. What I'm looking for is an outsider, a very fat man, not to catch the thief!"

The chosen one was obviously a little impatient, "Has anyone seen it?"

Of course, no one talks about the villagers, not because they want to protect a fat man they have never met, but because they have never met before.

At that time, the guide was also to catch thieves in the field, so he met a group of people who ran away from home. I don’t know if it was a good luck or a bad luck.

"You all listen."

At this time, the chosen one of the gods was about to start to release their biggest killer weapon, "If anyone knows where he is going and can provide clues, he can restore the identity of the residents of the Immortal City."

Hearing this sentence, the people began to chirp and yell.

"I know, outsiders are walking here!"

"I saw him walking over there."

The guide who was lying in the dark was sure that these neighbors' families were talking nonsense, because the only one in the village who had seen the emperor was himself, and he was worried that such obvious lies would be discovered.

But most people will not give up their qualifications to return to the inner city easily.

However, the people from the Special Affairs Department did not know that they had no expectations for these people in the city. They felt that even if these people's statements were contradictory, it might be that someone had not made it clear, so they began to listen carefully to what they said.

Xu Ling, who was hiding behind the house, also breathed a sigh of relief. If conflicts could be avoided, it would be the best. At least he would not have to make things difficult for both sides to expose himself and protect the locals.

However, he was always afraid of anything he was afraid of, and he was relieved in one breath when he heard the leader of the God-Selected Person ask.

"What? Someone hasn't come back? Who, where has he been?"
