Chapter 606: Everyone’s Gone
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Ying dismounted from her horse and went forward to inspect the ruins. She then walked one lap around the area, but she didn’t see any guards.
She led the horse and slowly walked in. Not long after she walked in, she saw a lot of dried blood stains on the ground. There were also many corpses that had decomposed until only white bones were left or were in the process of decay.
Su Ying took out a mask and put it on. She then moved closer to examine the clothes on the corpses.
Generally speaking, those who were exiled here would not be dressed well, and their robes would be old and covered in grime. However, if they came here with a purpose, their clothes could never be worse than those of exiled criminals.
She noticed that many of the fresh corpses were dressed in cleaner clothes, and the material was of better quality. A few of them were even wearing similar clothes. If they were wearing uniforms, they must hail from some organization.
After taking a look around, Su Ying continued walking forward.
It was winter now. Although the temperature in the northern wilderness was warmer than in the capital city, it was still freezing when the weather turned cold. Ordinary people would not come to this place at this time of the year. Yet she found a row of footprints in front of her.
Su Ying whipped her horse and sped up. Before nightfall, she could see the gates of the Tiger Base from afar.
She rode closer to take a look. The array formation outside the Tiger Base’s main gate had already been destroyed.
The earlier array formation was set up by Xiao Jin and his men back then. It could morph into several types of array formations, but now, the area outside the gate had been burned to ashes.
Su Ying dismounted from her horse and walked in.
The instant she stepped into that area, a fine gray mist wafted out behind her and began spreading around her.
The visibility in front of her instantly shrank to less than a meter. The surroundings were so foggy that she could not see anything clearly.
Su Ying took out her electric baton. Suddenly, a sharp sound of something tearing through the air erupted from behind her.
The horse behind her cried out in pain, and a gush of blood spurted onto Su Ying’s face.
Su Ying quickly backtracked. As soon as she moved, she heard the sound of the horse crashing to the ground, and the smell of blood instantly spread in all directions.
She gripped the electric baton in her hand tightly. Suddenly, the sound of something tearing through the air rang out again. She swung the electric baton in her hand to hit out behind her.
Pow! The sound of a sharp weapon colliding with the electric baton was particularly ear-piercing in the quiet atmosphere.
Su Ying took out the signal flare tube she was carrying and tossed it into the sky. The signal flare tube exploded in the air, and the pale yellow smoke was also quickly dispersed by the wind.
Whoosh! The sound of something tearing through the air rang out once more, and the attacks on Su Ying continued.
The signal flare tube that she had thrown out was the communication signal that she had agreed upon with the Tiger base previously. If Meng Zi and the rest had seen the signal flare’s smoke, they would definitely stop attacking. However, the other party did not stop.
It proved that the people who attacked her were not from the Tiger Base!
Su Ying’s heart gradually sank. Someone else had set up another array formation outside Tiger Base.
She took out two electric batons. Xiao Jin had said that no matter what the array formation was, as long as the eye of the array formation was destroyed, the array formation would collapse on its own.
Su Ying connected the two electric batons together and spun them around quickly.
As the batons spun rapidly, dazzling streaks of electric sparks flew through the air.
The sound of something tearing through the air rang out again, and the sounds were increasing in frequency.
Su Ying’s electric baton spun rapidly, forming a Golden Bell Shield that completely protected Su Ying.
Pow! Pow! Pow! In the fog, the sounds of electrical streaks and sharp weapons hitting each other could be heard repeatedly.
This time, the sharp weapons were not cut off by the electric batons after colliding with them. Instead, they bounced back quickly as if they had hit a spring coil.
Whoosh! Whoosh! The sound of the wind whistled back and forth in the fog. freewebnov(e)l.com
Soon, Su Ying heard the sounds “Ugh! Ugh!”. She identified the location of the sound and was able to figure out an eight-trigram formation.
“One, two, three, four… eight!”
Bang! With a loud explosion, the fog in front of her seemed to be pushed away by a pair of invisible hands, and the view before her gradually became clear.
Su Ying’s electric batons slowly came to a stop. She was still standing in the spot where she had first arrived. The only difference was that there were corpses lying in eight different directions around her. There were eight bodies in total.
They were the key to this array formation.
Su Ying walked up to the corpses. They were all dressed in white and they almost blended in with the snow on the ground. Except that now, the whiteness was dyed with a glaring blood-red hue.
Su Ying pulled out a dagger and checked their robes thoroughly. However, she couldn’t find any useful clues on them.
After the fog dispersed, the gate of the Tiger Base was revealed.
This gate was built before they went to Sky Alpha City. In order to make the gate more sturdy, Qiao Yang even went to a distant mountain to haul a lot of rocks back.
The gate wall looked relatively intact, but the sturdy rocks were covered in dark bloodstains. The wooden door panels had been rammed until they were full of holes.
Su Ying could imagine what kind of intense battle had taken place here.
She passed through the broken wooden door panels and walked inside. It was so quiet that only Su Ying’s footsteps could be heard. There was no one inside at all.
Su Ying remembered that in the middle of the year, Chu Yun had sent her a message saying that Uncle Meng’s son was going to get married. At that time, they had followed him to the Tiger Base for the wedding banquet. As there were too many people, there was no way to sit inside the house, so everyone placed tables along the paths. The scene was really lively.
Although Su Ying didn’t get to see it with her own eyes, she could imagine how happy everyone was.
However, it had only been a short while, and there was not even a single person left in the Tiger Base.
The icy cold air caused Su Ying’s cheeks to turn red, but no matter how cold the weather was, it couldn’t extinguish the fire of fury burning in her heart.
Su Ying searched the entire Tiger Base, but she couldn’t find a single familiar figure.
She was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she went to Tiger Might’s house and simply picked a room to stay in.
In winter, the night always came earlier, and it was dark as soon as she walked into the house.
Su Ying took out a roasted chicken from her interspatial store and a large lamb leg. After lighting a fire, she placed the food over the fire to heat it up.
Although the food wouldn’t go bad in her interspatial store, it was already cold by the time it was put in. For this type of food, it was better to eat it hot.
Su Ying sat cross-legged in the hall alone. Only the faint yellow light from the campfire in front of her illuminated the room.
The entire Tiger Base was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Only the sound of the gusting cold wind could be heard, which made people shudder in the dark night.
The aroma of roasted meat gradually filled the room.
Su Ying picked up the lamb leg and took a bite. After so many days on the road, she had her feet touching the ground for the longest time today.
After eating and drinking her fill, Su Ying threw the lamb leg bone outside the room, wiped her mouth, and lay down beside the campfire before slowly closing her two eyes.
As the night deepened, dark clouds covered the moon, and the sky was a veil of darkness.
Crash! The door was blown open by a gust of cold wind, causing the campfire flames to flicker violently.
Suddenly, a figure darted in from outside the room like a sharp sword, charging straight at Su Ying..
