Chapter 152: line with translation of chapter title

The person I provoked earlier—just what kind of person is he?

Liang Fang's smile was full of bitterness.

Even when he had previously lost to Gu Han, he thought it was merely because he had underestimated the opponent.

During the battle, he hadn't expected Gu Han's speed to be so fast, which led to his defeat.

But even if Liang Fang were uninjured, that black savage bear that just collapsed...

nor dare say they could definitely defeat the opponent!

Yet this black savage bear couldn't even withstand a single move from Gu Han?

Most importantly, Liang Fang didn't even know what had caused the injury.

While Liang Fang was shocked, Gu Han fed the wounded few healing pills and immediately shouted,

"Everyone, face the wind direction, advance a hundred meters to the right—remember, absolutely do not accidentally step on a trap!"

Gu Chen and the others, although they didn't know why Gu Han said that,

but at this moment no one asked, no one doubted.

The wounded also, supported by those nearby, headed south.

After walking a hundred meters, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

"I... I can see clearly again?"

The Captain of Hundred whose vision had just been blocked instantly rejoiced.

After his vision had been obstructed for nearly half an hour, he finally realized how wonderful it was to have clear sight!

"The black mist is still there, but how can we suddenly see clearly?"

Liang Fang also excitedly looked toward Gu Han catching up from behind and asked,

"General Gu, what's going on?"

"Explaining here would be too troublesome; we should leave the black mist, regroup with the others, and explain then."

After saying that, Gu Han ordered two Heifeng Zhai villagers to lead the way, heading out of the black mist.

Not long after, the eleven successfully met up with Gu Lin and the others who were still stationed at the original spot.

Gu Lin and the others, upon hearing the earlier screams, had clenched their fists in worry for Liang Fang's team of ten.

Now seeing Gu Han bring them all back safe and sound, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"General Gu, we have not disgraced our mission."

Bai Feng's injury had also stabilized somewhat, and he gave Gu Han a faint smile.

Don't strike a smiling person.

Moreover, the other side is the one besieging Heifeng Zhai; his appearance here with Heifeng Zhai villagers naturally raises suspicion.

Gu Han also nodded at Bai Feng.

He kicked the two Heifeng Zhai villagers who were standing there dazed,

"What are you still standing there for?"

"Ah? Oh!"

The villager who had earlier explained the black mist situation to Gu Han hurriedly told everyone how to see through the black mist.

After the Heifeng Zhai villager finished speaking, Gu Han looked at Bai Feng,

"General Bai, you've besieged Heifeng Zhai many times—haven't you figured out a feasible pattern?"

Bai Feng gave a bitter smile and shook his head,

"These changing patterns—how could they be as simple as you think, General Gu?"

"Perhaps someone initially guessed the right direction, but even moving fifty meters in that direction, let alone a hundred, people start doubting whether their judgment is wrong."

Zhong Cheng had not mastered the method to gain vision in the black mist.

Although what he said was merely speculation, it was likely about eighty or ninety percent accurate.

"Alright, since we now know the method, let's continue our action."

After Gu Han finished speaking, the two Heifeng Zhai villagers shuddered violently and trembled as they said,

"Sir... sir, can you release us now?"

Gu Han glanced at him indifferently,

"What do you say?"

Although the pattern is currently correct, according to the villager, once we go deeper into the mountains, the pattern will still change.

If we kill these two villagers now, where will Gu Han find guides later?

As for letting these two villagers go?

From the start, Gu Han never entertained the idea of releasing someone whose hands are stained with blood.

The Heifeng Zhai villagers exchanged glances and all sighed helplessly.

They also knew Gu Han was very likely not to let them off.

But at this point, they could only try a desperate remedy.

Hoping Gu Han would be in a good mood and let them go.

However, just as they were about to set off, Bai Feng suddenly thought of something and called out to Gu Han, who had just moved,

"General Gu, please wait a moment."

Gu Han stopped, turned his head, and looked at Bai Feng with puzzlement,

"What's the matter?"

Based on his interactions, Bai Feng should be someone who values military merit greatly.

There's no reason he would miss such a good opportunity.

To be frank, the City Lord has already led troops to besiege Heifeng Zhai.

And the reason I am here is because I took on a mission to prevent anyone from Heifeng Zhai from escaping.

Upon hearing this, Gu Han's brows furrowed instantly.

If that's the case, Bai Feng and the others will likely have to stay outside the black mist.

Your injury—can you still cope?

Bai Feng gave a light smile,

As long as I don't run into a weirdo like you, there shouldn't be a big problem.

Gu Han rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Since Bai Feng said that, he saw no point in further nonsense with Bai Feng and instead looked at Gu Chen and the others,

I plan to go to Heifeng Zhai to take a look, but if I encounter danger I might not be able to look after you.

I personally suggest you can stay outside to heal your wounds, or temporarily return to Zhong Cheng.

Since Bai Feng said Heifeng Zhai is already besieged, its destruction is merely a matter of time.

Gu Han and the others can completely return to Zhong Cheng.

Once the City Lord wipes out Heifeng Zhai, he will naturally hand over Mu Shan Cheng's grain supplies to him.

But since we've come all this way, Gu Han is unwilling to let Heifeng Zhai's huge amount of attributes and treasure chests slip by!

That is quite possible—a Heifeng Zhai where a Martial Venerable exists!

If we could snag a Martial Venerable's head, its attributes would far surpass those of Martial Ancestors and Great Martial Masters!

Gu Chen stepped forward without any hesitation.

How could such a bandit-suppressing affair not include me?

The others also followed Gu Chen one after another, indicating they wanted to act together.

Seeing this, Gu Han also chose to respect their wishes.

Taking all of Mu Shan Cheng's forces, they prepared to gain vision through the black mist and head for Heifeng Zhai.

General Gu, please wait a moment.

Bai Feng took a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Gu Han,

With this jade pendant, if you encounter Zhong Cheng's soldiers, you can also avoid some misunderstandings.

Gu Han took the jade pendant, nodded at Bai Feng, and then led the troops away.

After everyone disappeared into the black mist, Bai Feng's deputy general finally spoke in a low voice,

General Bai, if what General Gu said is true, then things might really not be that simple.

The deputy general's voice was very soft, only Bai Feng could hear it.

Bai Feng nodded, gazing far off toward Zhong Cheng, deep in thought.

Gu Han and the others kept changing direction, and only after more than three hours did they hear the shouts of battle.

And it was already late.

Even without the black mist obstructing them, their field of vision was extremely limited.

Everyone, be careful and try not to make any noise.

In this battle, Gu Han and the others were hiding in the dark, thus gaining a certain advantage.

As long as they are cautious, they can completely expand their gains.
