Chapter 2554 The unexpected figure is you?
Outside Licheng, as far as the eye can see, there are fields.
Ling Tian followed Captain Qi for about four hours, and during the entire process, they did not see any living creatures.
During their journey, they passed through several villages, but almost every one of them was burned to ashes, and every village was abandoned, with not a single human being to be seen.
As night fell, Ling Tian looked at Captain Qi and whispered, "You hid the monster so far away?"
"That's not what I meant." Captain Qi shook his head. "It's the other party who wants to get away from the city. But it's almost here. We'll be there in half an hour at most. Then we can rest there tonight and go back tomorrow."
Hearing Captain Qi's words, Ling Tian looked up at the night sky and said, "Captain Qi, if I'm willing to help, when are you going to do it? During the martial arts tournament?"
"Yes!" Captain Qi nodded, then looked at Ling Tian with a hint of surprise in his eyes and asked, "How did you know?"
"I guessed it." Ling Tian smiled faintly. "If I want to overthrow the city lord's rule, then I think the best opportunity is the martial arts tournament. After all, human warriors will gather at the tournament at that time, so it might be a good opportunity."
"You're right. The martial arts tournament is indeed the best time, but not just because of the human warriors, but because of the city lord." Captain Qi said, looking at Ling Tian with a serious face, "Have you seen the city lord in the past few days since you came to Licheng?"
"No." Ling Tian shook his head. "I've been to the place closest to the city, and I could only vaguely see the castle where the city lord resides. At that time, I wanted to take a look from afar, but... I didn't see it."
"That's right! That's why we chose the tournament."
Ling Tian reacted instantly after hearing the words and said, "Captain Qi means that if we want to meet the City Lord, he will only show up during the martial arts tournament? He won't show up at other times?"
"Yeah." Captain Qi smiled helplessly. "Although I don't know why he does this, he rarely appears in the city unless there is an important decision to be announced. But most of the time, it is the Four Dharma Protectors who manage the city on his behalf. And he will definitely show up at the martial arts competition."
"That's why we chose the tournament, just to give us a chance to take action. Otherwise, if he doesn't show up, even if we want to take action, it will be difficult. After all, how can we take back control if we can't even see him?"
After hearing Captain Qi's explanation, Ling Tian nodded and felt a little curious about the city lord.
According to his understanding of these monsters, when a monster becomes the controller of a group of humans, it will inevitably be immersed in the praise and admiration of these humans.
For example, Lao Bing. At that time, Lao Bing needed human praise, so he kept creating illusions to immerse himself in that atmosphere.
Moreover, he wanted to go to Weicheng in order to control humans and make illusions a reality.
On the other hand, the mayor of Licheng does not have such thoughts. He seems to have always been hiding in the darkness and cannot be seen on weekdays. It is obvious that he has no need for human praise or other emotions.
So Ling Tian was thinking, does the Lord of Licheng simply need humans to serve as his labor?
Just as Ling Tian was thinking, Captain Qi suddenly spoke up, interrupting his thoughts: "Brother, we're here. Don't forget what I said. Please be patient with its personality, okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Tian looked up and saw a dense forest in front of him. He could not see the situation inside the forest. It was pitch black in the night and he could not see his hand in front of him.
Even so, Ling Tian nodded and said, "Okay."
Afterwards, Ling Tian made a quick sense of the situation and when he didn't sense any breath of a monster, he wasn't surprised. Instead, he continued forward with Captain Qi and walked into the woods in front of him.
After all, according to Captain Qi, this monster is at its peak form, so it is normal that Ling Tian cannot sense it. The gap in strength is too big. In addition, this monster is avoiding the sight of the city lord, so it can be said.
After the two of them walked in, Captain Qi walked in the dark forest as if it were daytime, avoiding all kinds of trees, until a ray of fire and a wooden house appeared in front of them. Only then did Ling Tian feel that there were some pictures in front of him.
At the same time, Captain Qi stopped in his tracks after seeing the wooden house and spoke softly, "Okay, we're almost here. He's very concerned about two humans showing up at the same time, so you need to go in by yourself, brother. Don't worry, I'll be standing outside so he knows you're coming with me."
"Row."
In response, Ling Tian nodded and agreed.
Ling Tian walked towards the wooden house, stood at the door, exhaled, pushed the door open and walked in, and found that the wooden house was similar to Captain Qi's wooden house in Licheng. The decoration was ordinary, with only a table and two chairs in the house, and a bed in the corner.
Of course, there was also a figure lying on the bed.
The other person had his back to him, and when Ling Tian saw this, he thought that the other person was resting. Just as he was about to walk over, the figure on the bed slowly sat up and then turned to look at him.
The moment their eyes met, Ling Tian was stunned, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
When the other party saw Ling Tian, he smiled faintly and said softly, "I didn't expect you to find me. It seems that you knew the message I left. I always knew that you would contact Captain Qi. As long as you knew my request, you would come to me. I was right."
After hearing the other party's words, Ling Tian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said helplessly, "So... you came here because of me? Weren't you afraid to come before? Why did you dare to come this time? Chirp."
The one in front of him was none other than the master of the holy mountain, the peak-level demon beast, Jiu Jiu.
The moment he saw Jiujiu, Ling Tian felt a little helpless. At the same time, Jiujiu started to explain, and Ling Tian finally understood why Jiujiu mentioned the passage.
After all, when they were in the Holy Mountain, Jiujiu had contact with Ling Tian and knew that the passage was in Licheng. In addition, her purpose had always been the passage, so as he said, as long as he mentioned the passage, she would inevitably become curious and come to meet him.
You know what, Jiujiu's move was quite interesting. At least she relied on her intelligence to win the opportunity to meet me.
After a moment of stunned silence, Ling Tian looked at Jiujiu and said, "So... you came here to meet me? Why? Do you really want to help Captain Qi overthrow the Lord of Licheng?"
Hearing this, Jiujiu nodded: "Yes~ I can help you, but you have to come with me and do me a favor, otherwise... I won't agree. How about it? Are you... willing?"
