Chapter 1102 A Night of Terror

At night, because they were on guard against assassinations along the way, the white-clothed scholar and his group were not fast, and they did not arrive at the nearby city in time. They could only choose a village to live in, otherwise there would be countless wild wolves and beasts in the jungle at night, which would be uncomfortable.

There were not many houses in the village, and it was impossible to accommodate so many of them. Except for the white-clothed scholar who had his own room, the others either lived together or squeezed in the yard, using the ground as a mat and the sky as a blanket.

For safety, they lived relatively closely together, and about one-third of them patrolled at night.

Wu Yi, who was not far away, watched them and hesitated to make a move. If he did not find a chess piece, Wu Yi could only choose to make a move himself.

But since he had found the right person, Wu Yi could not make a move himself. Wouldn't it be better to control it from behind? Even if he failed, he would still not be affected by the cause and effect.

At night, just before the middle of the moon, a bright moon hangs in the sky, illuminating the surface of the earth, as if it were daytime. It is not a night suitable for assassination, but sometimes, some guards will relax their vigilance when they see the moon so bright, so it cannot be generalized.

The Baima people hiding in the attendant team winked at each other. After the previous failure and loss of tribesmen, according to their arrangement, they would start tonight.

Although tonight may not be suitable for assassination, after tonight, at most one day, the white-clothed scholar will arrive beside King Lu, and King Lu’s guards will come to meet him.

The Baima people dared to assassinate the white-clothed scholar, but would they dare to assassinate beside King Lu? If they were charged with assassinating the crown prince, the entire Baima tribe would be buried with him, so it is not an exaggeration to say that tonight is the last chance.

The few Baima people mixed in the team behaved the same as others in the first half of the night. They belonged to different teams and might not have the opportunity to meet.

In the middle of the night, a shrill cat cry pierced the tranquility of the night, waking up many people. They all stood up to observe whether there were thieves breaking in. Even the white-clothed scholar stood up to observe. Because he had been assassinated once, everyone in the team became a little suspicious and saw enemies everywhere.

Moreover, many thieves also like to go out in the middle of the night, so such a strange cat cry cannot help but make people alert. I don’t know if it is a secret signal for the enemy to attack.

Of course, nothing happened in the end, and everyone went back to sleep again. The remaining patrolmen were cursing. The white-clothed scholar was disturbed in his sweet dream. Who else could he curse? These people who were in charge were scolded and had nowhere to vent in the end. They could only gather together to comfort themselves.

Not long after, several dogs barked wildly, and the already bored people became even more dissatisfied. They also couldn’t find out the reason. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and there was no one around.

The barking of dogs may not be because they saw strangers, but it may also be that another dog urinated in the territory of a dog. Several patrolmen drove the dogs away and the noise stopped.

But most people were no longer sleepy. This night was so strange that something big might happen.

Many people slept with their eyes open, afraid to close them, for fear that they would never be able to open them again. Even half-taken clothes were buttoned up to avoid wasting time after the incident.

And what happened next was really chaotic, all kinds of monsters and ghosts came out, and all kinds of strange noises were heard.

However, living in the countryside, this is the characteristic of the countryside, the chickens and dogs are restless, many roosters crow in the middle of the night, hens bark after laying eggs in the middle of the night, every household has a dog, one dog barks, all the dogs in the village start barking, and it’s scary.

If you tell others that it’s weird, they will treat you as a fool and say that you are suspicious, because this is the norm in the countryside, and there is no other way except to be vigilant.

It is destined to be a sleepless night!

The chaos that the white-clothed scholar encountered tonight was instigated by the white horse tribe in his team in a very small part, and more of it was actually caused by the villagers.

Wu Yi also discovered behind the scenes that there were so many Baima people living in this village. They were not core members of the tribe, and they had a lot of interactions with the outside world, and they were more mercenary, but the cooperation in this fight was wonderful.

What kind of place did the white-clothed scholar break into! Thinking from another angle, was it really just a coincidence that he passed by this place and stayed here?

The Baima people actually had such a great power, which was something Wu Yi had not expected, but it was a good thing for Wu Yi.

In fact, not all of the strange noises tonight, but 99% of them were influenced by Wu Yi. The abnormal movements that could have been easily suppressed became more intense, such as the two dogs that barked at the beginning. After a fight, they were almost defeated.

Under the influence of the robbery, many creatures could not maintain their spiritual intelligence. Why laugh at chickens and dogs? Even humans who claim to be the spirits of heaven and earth, whether they are in a sect or a dynasty, will kill and blood will flow like a river when they fight internally.

Similarly, due to the influence of the calamity, many people were restless and unable to sleep. They were exhausted and had lost their ability to fight. Only the few White Horse people who had already prepared to fight to the death had bright eyes and blood boiling, and were happy that the heavens had helped them.

Next, Wu Yi would not intervene. He just wanted the document to disappear. Whether it was torn or burned was not important.

When the light appeared in the east, the night had come to an end. They were disturbed by various sounds all night, and everyone had panda eyes. Although they had arranged shifts, basically no one really slept.

For their own lives, no one dared to sleep. They were awakened by the slightest movement. Seeing the light in the east, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The nightmare-like night was finally over.

However, just when everyone was planning to sleep for an hour or so to recover their energy, the White Horse tribesmen took action. If they didn't take action, it would be fine. Once they took action, they would go straight to the center.

They must have learned the lesson from the last failure. Their methods were much more agile, and their killing intentions were almost invisible. Wherever they passed, they killed people. Many people didn't react and were cut by these four or five people. Their eyes couldn't hide their shock.

It wasn't until several people entered the rooftop where the white-clothed scholar lived that the guards saw the blood and issued a warning, but one of the assassins knocked over the candle and poured vegetable oil on it. The combination of kerosene and collision created a beautiful posture. Of course, this was in Wu Yi's eyes.

In the eyes of the white-clothed scholar, it was a fatal threat. He locked the door and was ready to jump out of the window, but the folk wooden bolt was simple and useless, and it was kicked open with one foot, and the door was wide open.

At this time, the scholar in white was half lying on the windowsill, hesitating whether to jump down. Seeing this situation, he lost his footing and fell heavily.
