Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 637 Something is fishy
Yang Yiyi has absolute 100% trust in Li Chengxi. If he says that the sun in the sky is actually green, I'm afraid Yang Yiyi will believe it.

In southern Xinjiang, a place where she was unfamiliar with, all her friends had been captured, and Yang Yiyi, who was already panicking to the point of picking her feet, was completely at a loss.

Although Li Chengxi was also surprised, he did not panic. Panic would be useless at this time.

So after thinking about it calmly, I decided to sort out the clues first.

He is not familiar with the other people in the Sixteenth Village. In this case, the most likely place to find clues should be Wu Shaoyi and Qin Yan's room.

The doors of the two rooms were closed tightly. If Yang Yiyi had not seen the bloodstains in front of the doors, she would have thought that Wu Shaoyi and Qin Yan were still resting.

The door was not locked, just ajar. Yang Yiyi kicked the door open and entered Qin Yan's room first.

The furnishings in the room were all the same. There was a round table in the middle, some green plants on one side, and a bed at the back of the room, but there was no sign of Qin Yan.

However, surprisingly, the room did not look messy, and it did not look like anyone had fought in it. The only difference was that the bedding on the bed was not folded properly, and judging by the shape, it looked like someone had carried Qin Yan away while she was sleeping.

Yang Yiyi was about to ask Li Chengxi if he had noticed anything, but before she could say anything, she heard Li Chengxi say:

"Go to Wu Shaoyi's room and take another look."

Using the same method, Yang Yiyi kicked the door open.

Wu Shaoyi's room was very similar to Qin Yan's room, except that the shape of the quilt was slightly different, and it also looked like someone had carried him away while he was sleeping.

"Well, there's nothing to see. Let's go and leave Phoenix Village first."

Yang Yiyi had a lot of questions, but Li Chengxi said to leave Fenghuang Village, so Yang Yiyi immediately turned around and ran out of the inn again.

On the way, I also met my father-in-law who was walking with a cane:

"Lady, you are..."

"Let's see what the situation is. I'll go after him now."

Yang Yiyi didn't even stop, she left a word and ran out of the inn, and then ran all the way out of Fenghuang Village. When she ran to a deserted place, Li Chengxi said:
"This is quite strange. What the old man said may not be true."

"Ah? Brother Li, you mean that my father-in-law lied to me?"

“It’s not necessarily completely wrong, but it’s certainly not entirely true.”

This was said like a riddle. Li Chengxi then explained:
"There was no sign of a fight in Qin Yan and Wu Shaoyi's room. They were probably abducted because they were drugged and couldn't resist. But it was too clean."

"Is there something wrong?"

"Think about it, where did Wu Shaoyi's wheelchair and Qin Yan's bag go?"

After this reminder, Yang Yiyi also realized that something was wrong.

Others didn't have Qingtianshu to help with their luggage, so Qin Yan had to carry a small bag from beginning to end. Wu Shaoyi needed a wheelchair because of his difficulty walking.

If they just came to arrest someone, why would they take away the wheelchair and the bag as well?
"Also, the old man said that someone from Fenghuang Village colluded with Baofeng Village and secretly put drugs in the food. But this is not just one or two. Together with the Sixteen Villages and a few wandering people in the martial arts world, there are more than twenty of you in total. It is a bit unrealistic for so many people to be infected at the same time."

"Brother Li, are you saying that the old man lied to me and that Qin Yan and Wu Shaoyi were actually imprisoned in Fenghuang Village?"

"Not necessarily. Look at the footprints on the road."

Yang Yiyi looked down and saw that since this road led from Fenghuangzhai River to Xiashan Town, there were footprints and ruts everywhere on the road. At first glance, there was nothing wrong, but if you follow the footprints to the side of the road, you will find that there are dense footprints leaving the road.

"Merchants who come here to do business will definitely not walk into the wild. Those footprints are very fresh and heavy, as if they were holding someone. It is indeed as the old man said, they went to the northwest."

It was also a case of good luck, as there had been a heavy rainstorm just before, and the soil was very wet and soft, so when I stepped on it, the footprints were particularly clear.

Judging from the direction of the footprints, they were the kind that went back and forth, indicating that an outsider had indeed come to Fenghuang Village in the middle of the night.

"This Phoenix Village is not big. I just took a quick look and didn't find a basement that could fit more than 20 people. It seems that they were indeed captured, but we can't believe everything the old man said."

When looking at Wu Shaoyi and Qin Yan's rooms, Li Chengxi used the perspective adjustment function to look at the shallow surface and confirmed that there was indeed no basement in Fenghuang Village.

If he was simply locked in the bamboo house, he would definitely call for help. It would be impossible for there to be no sound at all.

"Anyway, let's follow the footprints first. If they just wanted to kidnap someone instead of killing them, they wouldn't be able to get far with more than 20 unconscious people."

This analysis made Yang Yiyi feel relieved, and she immediately used her Four Steps to follow the footprints.

But there was one thing Li Chengxi didn't say, and the whole thing seemed weird.

The people from Baofengzhai came all the way here to arrest people?
Since they are hostile to people from the Central Plains, why not just kill them as soon as you enter the door? What's the point of going through the trouble of taking everyone away?
The missing heroes from the Sixteen Villages were indeed not seen in Fenghuang Village, nor were they found among the corpses. The other party's purpose was somewhat puzzling.

Moreover, the timing was just too coincidental, as it was exactly the time when the martial artists in the inn were separating. If it had happened one day earlier, they would have had to face hundreds of martial arts masters. Such a coincidence was definitely not normal.

But rather than making Yang Yiyi worry, it’s better not to tell her yet and wait until you catch up.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Yang Yiyi herself didn't know when the inn was attacked in the middle of the night. She didn't feel anything. Even though the eyes of the killers outside were red with anger, Yang Yiyi was still sleeping soundly, which showed how strong the drug was.

The effect of ordinary knockout drugs on Yang Yiyi is not obvious. After all, her bones and muscles are too strong, which is equivalent to an exaggerated physique.

Just like ordinary people who would fall into unconsciousness on the spot after taking a few sleeping pills, Yang Yiyi took dozens of pills and only felt a bitter taste in her mouth, but there was no other major impact.

This is the difference between people's physical constitutions.

Besides, the heroes of the Sixteen Villages are extremely experienced in the martial arts world. They can taste the knockout drug with just one sip. They feel that it might be a special medicine unique to southern Xinjiang.

After all, this place is famous for witchcraft, where "witchcraft" does not only refer to insects, but also medicine.

It has to be said that Li Chengxi was very fortunate, thanks to having asked Oldie for the magic items in advance.

Yang Yiyi had experienced many sneak attacks in the middle of the night, so Li Chengxi asked Oldie if she had any solution to this problem. However, he didn't expect that Yang Yiyi would use it as soon as he got it.

There was a lot of fighting outside, but Yang Yiyi was fine. It must be the Naga's protection that worked.

Of course, Li Chengxi hadn’t told Yang Yiyi all these things yet. She was now concentrating on finding footprints on the ground and running after them.

The old man said that Baofeng Village was northwest of Fenghuang Village, beyond the Nine Mountains and Nine Waters. Although he did not give the exact distance, one could tell from the description that it was definitely not very close.

If it was really the people from Baofeng Village who took Wu Shaoyi, Qin Yan and the others away, they couldn't have run too far in just one night.

After all, mountain roads are difficult to walk on. Even the locals cannot have two more legs than the people in the Central Plains. They are just more familiar with the roads and take fewer detours.
