Chapter 84 Daring to Steal from One's Own Position!

"Report! No source has been found. The river and the mountains on the opposite bank are shrouded in thick fog, which seems to be an abnormal weather phenomenon."

General Erzuo angrily retorted: "Nonsense! In the history of Dream Continent, including the islands of the Coastal Home branch, there has never been such a situation! Look again!"

"Yes!"

The second leader then sent the men he had brought along to search for him, and finally asked, "How is Conglong doing?"

"Everything is normal, we were just frightened by the thick fog."

The two generals were relieved; that was the important point.

Unexpectedly, his assistant ran over and whispered:

"General, twenty onions are missing, and they're not even in the valley!"

The two generals' faces darkened, and anger rose in their hearts!
"All thirty-eight teams are back! Search for the missing Cong Long in the valley and along the valley path!"

"Reporting to the commander, it is absolutely impossible for Conglong to have escaped the valley entrance! Our team, including four other teams, has been guarding the valley entrance to prevent Conglong from running out in a panic and falling into the river!"

The chief of staff was very confident and did not forget to boast about his achievements in his words.

"Then find them all in the valley!" After giving the order, General Zuo whispered a few more words to his confidant.

Fang Yuan and Ren Xing saw the thick fog surging in front of them, and arrows appeared. Without hesitation, they followed.

Then he jumped into the valley and landed, where he saw several scallion deaf people gathered in a group.

The two men each carried one end of the head, grabbed their mouths, and leaped up the slope behind the valley. They ran for a while longer, and only stopped to absorb the Heavenly Martial Power when the signal disappeared in the thick fog.

Thirty-eight sentry teams gathered in the valley and began searching for Cong Long, driving away those who had gathered together.

Upon learning that the numbers were incorrect, and the discrepancy was severe, the Chief of Staff was greatly alarmed and exclaimed:
"No way! How could this happen!"

The second general stared coldly at the chief of staff:

"Just now, twenty scallions went missing, and during the search and gathering by your sentry team, two more went missing!"

"The general will see the truth! We are keeping a close watch on them; there is absolutely no reason for them to get lost!"

The Chief of Staff couldn't believe it!
"Getting lost is impossible, but stealing is possible! Take advantage of the thick fog and steal it! Hand over the hidden Onion Deafness! You might get a lighter sentence!"

The thirty-eight sentries all cried out that they were wronged, saying that they could not possibly be so audacious and short-sighted.

General Zuo said sternly:
"I don't care which one of you stole the goods to advance to the Heavenly Martial Realm! I'll count to ten! If you don't hand over Cong Long, you'll all die!"

Hundreds of reinforcements from the village surrounded the thirty-eight teams of Tianwu Po, each with a furious expression!

The palpable killing intent startled the flock of sheep, who bleated and ran away.

Tianwu Po, who was originally guarding Conglong, also joined the operation to surround the thirty-eight sentry posts.

Losing Conglong would be a disaster for the entire Second Elder City!
The progress of everyone absorbing the Heavenly Martial Power will be greatly affected!
Upon seeing the arrow formed by the mist, Fang Yuan and Ren Xing leaped into the valley, each carrying one end of the arrow. As they turned to run, they overheard the Second General angrily shouting:

"...Ten! Kill them all!"

Suddenly, shouts of battle erupted in the valley.

Knowing the ruthless nature of the enemy, and knowing they were doomed, all thirty-eight sentry teams rose up in resistance.

Although the number of people was much smaller, there were still more than a hundred people, and after struggling hard, they fought for quite a while.

During the battle, Fang Yuan and Ren Xing each carried away three more lush green plants.

The total number of deaf people in the valley has decreased by a total of thirty.

Upon receiving the report, General Zuo ordered the execution of all thirty-eight sentry teams, with over thirty killed in the ensuing resistance.

Why was Cong Long repeatedly startled for no apparent reason?

The two left-hand men always felt something was strange.

A group of people hurriedly ran through the valley and drove Conglong back together.

"Reporting, General! Eight more scallions have gone missing!"

"How dare you! Who just left the team? Investigate!" General Zuo was furious!

What was lost earlier was the responsibility of the 38th team of sentries; from the moment the execution began, that was his responsibility!
A moment later, the report came in that no one had left the team.

General Zuo remained calm, and his trusted aide, seizing the opportunity, reported: "Reporting to the General, it has been investigated. In the chaos, these traitors harmed others without benefiting themselves, and killed Eight Long-Headed Onions!"

"I see! Protect Conglong strictly, prevent any further mishaps, and absolutely forbid any embezzlement!"

The second general was fond of his trusted confidants' ability to see opportunities.

However, Er Zuo always realized that there might be other strange things in the fog.

Is it some kind of mutated beast?
If it is ultimately discovered that the mutated beast was responsible, the execution of these thirty-eight sentry teams... will not affect anything. Before the execution, it was their own doing, and the discovery of the mutated beast is unrelated to the previous loss of Conglong.

She and Er Zuo always said yes, that's right!
Thick fog rolled in, and Fangyuan and Renxing saw the guiding arrow.

Although the directions were clearly pointing away from the valley, they still trusted and followed them quickly.

Until they ran out of the fog.

"What's going on? Why did they make us run so far? Wait, isn't that Second Elder City? It's almost completely covered by fog!"

Renxing then discovered that they had run to the mountain northwest of the Second Elder.

Fang Yuan also saw it and immediately realized Lin Xiufeng's plan, and whispered:

"The commander's plan is to take Cong Long, demolish the Second Elder's city, and make sure the Second Elder and the stationed Heavenly Warriors are not let off the hook!"

"They're unable to move..." Renxing suddenly realized. "They've left everything to us?"

"With the regimental commander and deputy regimental commander guiding the way through the thick fog, what's impossible?"

"How are we going to demolish the Second Elder City? It's just the two of us." Renxing thought about all those houses and felt the workload was too much.

"Setting fire will produce even more smoke."

"Then what are we still standing there for?" Fang Yuan called out to her, "Wait for the signal," as she was about to act on her impulsive impulse.

A hint of doubt flashed in Renxing's eyes, then he suddenly realized and understood...

The Second Left General sent someone to report the news.

Thirty scallions were stolen by a guard from the thirty-eighth sentry post; the guards themselves stole them.

The source of the dense fog has not yet been found, and no other abnormalities have been detected.

The second elder was furious and roared:

"The fog came out strangely, and Conglong has lost as many as thirty of them! Isn't that unusual enough? Eryou, you go too! Take more people and search carefully. Make sure to find the source of the fog, ensure Conglong's safety, and prevent any strange beasts from lurking in the fog!"

"Yes!" The Second Right General accepted the order and set off.

Of the vast Second Elder City, which had over 1,600 Heavenly Martial Souls, only a little over 100 remained.

Thick fog enveloped the Second Elder City.

The people inside closed the doors and windows, but thick fog still seeped in through the gaps.

Only those with good sealing properties are unaffected.

The Tianwu Po on duty is still patrolling the streets.

The passersby discussed unsubstantiated rumors.

The Second Elder's house was also shrouded in thick fog. He was in his bedroom, with two women by his side, waiting for news from Conglong Valley.

The dense fog caused the people, trees, houses, and other objects within it to appear as objects of varying concentrations and colors of celestial energy.

Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue were easily distinguishable.

The dense fog has spread past the Second Elder City and continues to spread.

This range extends beyond the Wulin Mountain range.

The Mist Spirit King consumed more than 70% of his Heavenly Martial Power.

The two right generals led their troops straight to the Conglong Valley, where they met up with the two left generals.

Ren Xing and Fang Yuan saw the thick fog surging ahead, clearly forming two words: 'Warning!'

Fang Yuan understood, and immediately gathered his Heavenly Martial Power towards the Second Elder's direction, shouting:
"The fog is poisonous! People are dying! Everyone, run this way!"
