As the fist burst out, the tentacles that were coming forward were immediately broken by Zhou Xian. The broken tentacles fell to the ground and instantly turned into mist, making the fog in the yard thicker and visibility even lower.
Wang Cheng looked at the power of these tentacles and couldn't help but be a little surprised:
"Although these tentacles are only at the initial stage of skin hardening, there are a large number of them. Even if Zhou Xian is at the advanced stage of skin hardening, he will still suffer a loss against so many tentacles."
However, Wutou and Wang Cheng did not go deep. After Zhou Xian successively smashed two walls, he finally led everyone to the courtyard inside the gate.
Zhou Xian's eyes showed surprise when he saw this, and he quickly came outside the base, followed by Wang Cheng and the other man.
After arriving outside the camp, Zhou Xian staggered and almost fell. Wutou seemed to have survived a disaster and hurried forward to support Zhou Xian.
"Brother, are you okay? Do you need to gather the other brothers and tell them about the abnormality here?"
Zhou Xian managed to stand firmly with the support of Wutou, and then looked at the Sanhe Gang’s base behind him, with fear in his eyes.
"Of course we have to tell them. If I'm not mistaken, the people from other martial arts schools who came here might have fallen into that trap."
Listening to Zhou Xian's words, Wutou felt a little scared when he thought of those strange tentacles.
Wang Cheng looked back at the Sanhe Gang’s base and found that they were still sitting there very quietly, as if nothing had changed at all.
The movements of Zhou Xian and his companions naturally attracted other people who were visiting Sanhe Town.
Especially after Zhou Xian sent out a firework signal for help, a series of figures suddenly came here.
When everyone arrived here and saw the wounds on Zhou Xian's body, they couldn't help but gasp.
"Junior Brother Zhou, what happened to you? Why are you in such a mess? Who attacked you? What happened to the wounds on your body?" "Junior Brother Zhou, weren't you investigating the Sanhe Gang's base? Did you encounter a ferocious beast? Why do the wounds on your body look like they were torn by a ferocious beast..."
"Zhou Xian, where are the disciples of our martial arts school? They also came to the Sanhe Gang's base to investigate..."
……
Zhou Xian interrupted everyone's questions directly:
"Everyone, there is something extremely strange about the Sanhe Gang's base. The wound on my body was caused by the strange tentacles inside the base. As for the disciples of other martial arts schools, I'm sorry, I didn't see them."
After hearing Zhou Xian's words, the people from other martial arts schools suddenly became a little angry.
"What do you mean? Could it be that someone from our martial arts school has encountered something unexpected? After we investigate, if we find out that it was you who did it, don't blame us for being rude."
"You guys at Tieshan Martial Arts School are unreliable. You actually sent a few of you in to investigate. Let's all go in and take a look. What's so weird in here?"
……
At this time, Zhou Xian shouted:
"Shut up, everyone. I told you that this place is very strange. From here, there is nothing unusual inside, but it seems like two different worlds from the outside. I think we'd better inform Master and the others. I'm afraid only they can deal with the weirdness here."
However, except for Tieshan Martial Arts School, people from other martial arts schools did not listen to the advice. Led by some of their direct disciples and registered disciples, they all walked into the gate of the Sanhe Gang’s headquarters.
After entering the station, many martial arts school disciples found that there was nothing unusual here and couldn't help but sneer:
"Zhou Xian is just exaggerating. He got wounded from nowhere and now he's blaming the problem on the garrison..."
"Who knows what they are up to? They seem like cowards. Don't pay any attention to them. Let's go find the people from our own martial arts school."
……
As the people in the yard dispersed, the people in Tieshan Martial Arts School were asking Zhou Xian about many things.
"Junior brother, you saw it, right? Nothing unusual happened when they entered. Tell us what the situation is. Otherwise, if they find an excuse, it will be very disadvantageous to our martial arts school."
"That's right, Senior Brother Zhou, we should also go in and investigate. If we work together, even if there is something strange here, it won't be able to do anything to us..."
……
Zhou Xian looked at his fellow disciples who did not have much sense of crisis. His face became gloomy. Then he remembered something and said to the people in the character hall around him:
"Everyone, be quiet. Don't you feel anything strange? So many people entered the base, and after they dispersed, there was not a single sound. Do you think this is normal? Everyone, use your brains carefully."
After Zhou Xian's reminder, everyone discovered the abnormality in the base. Their faces changed drastically, and they finally stopped doubting Zhou Xian's words.
"Big Brother, what should we do? Should we go in to investigate or ask for help and wait for Master and the others..."
"It seems that Senior Brother Zhou Xian really didn't lie to us. The Sanhe Gang's base is very strange. How could it be so quiet with so many people inside? There is no sound at all..."
……
Wang Cheng looked at the entire base. In his eyes, there seemed to be an increasingly thick fog, isolating all conditions in the entire base.
Chapter 616: The Master Arrives
The people at Tieshan Martial Arts School were not fools. They finally reacted and realized that the situation at the Sanhe Gang’s base was not ordinary.
"It seems that what Senior Brother Zhou said is true. The Sanhe Gang's base is quite strange."
A registered disciple showed a look of fear on his face. He had just wanted to follow them into the base to conduct an investigation.
The three disciples of Tieshan Martial Arts School exchanged glances with each other and then said:
"No matter what, we can't just sit back and watch."
"That's right. Otherwise, when the gym owner and his team arrive, the other three gym owners will definitely attack our gym to hold us accountable."
"But we can't just go in. Otherwise, if we get trapped like those people, we'd be even more stupid fools."
In fact, even without the three of them saying anything, the other disciples of Tieshan Martial Arts School would definitely not want to follow them in. Knowing that there was something unusual here, they still rushed in. That was not bravery but stupidity.
However, the disciples of Tieshan Martial Arts School did not do nothing. For them, since there were abnormalities at the base, they did not need to hold back and could just destroy it.
"My fellow apprentices, go to the town and find some thick logs. We can then use these battering rams to break through the wall here."
"Brother, this method is good, but since there is something abnormal here, there is no need for us to hold back. Find some kerosene, dry wood, and charcoal and set this place on fire. I don't believe that the tentacles here can withstand it..."
The people from Tieshan Martial Arts School acted quickly. They dismantled the roof beams of an empty house in the town and then collected a lot of kerosene fuel from shops and businesses in the town.
Arriving outside the Sanhe Gang’s base, the people from Tieshan Martial Arts School quickly arranged for people to crash into the courtyard wall.
"My fellow junior brothers, you should be able to knock down these walls easily with the battering rams. We don't need to go through the main gate, we can just destroy the walls of the entire Sanhe Gang's base directly. Let's get started without further delay!"
At this time, more than 10 apprentices had already carried the battering ram, and then, with a unified slogan, they rushed towards the courtyard wall.
"Rumble..."
With loud bangs, the wall of the Sanhe Gang’s headquarters finally collapsed under the impact of many disciples.
After they broke down the wall and entered the yard, they discovered that the situation inside was not as quiet and harmless as they saw outside.
The hideous tentacles on the wall made them tremble with fear.
"Hurry up and use the kerosene. This stuff is really disgusting. What on earth is this? I have never heard of it."
Following the voice of a true disciple, the other disciples holding kerosene and firewood finally reacted.
Then he threw all the firewood under the wall, and then spread some kerosene on it. Finally, a burning piece of firewood was instantly thrown onto the pile of firewood. With the help of kerosene, the whole pile of matches was instantly ignited.
"Squeak..."
Accompanied by strange screams, it was obvious that these tentacles had low resistance to fire.
The whole yard was filled with the stench of burning flesh and blood...
After a short while, the tentacles on the wall in front of the fire withered and turned into pieces of smelly black charcoal.
"Haha, it seems that these tentacles are not that great. If we had known it was so simple, we could have collected a large amount of kerosene to break them."
"That's right, fellow apprentices, we have eliminated the monsters on the wall. Let's continue to use battering rams to knock down the wall." With the help of firewood and kerosene, the crowd did not fight with the tentacles on the wall, so they did not know the strength of these tentacles, but Wang Cheng was secretly shocked:
"It has only been a short time, but the strength of these tentacles has already risen from the early stage of skin hardening to the middle stage of skin hardening. If this continues, will their strength continue to grow?"
At this time, outside the base, Wang Cheng and Wu Tou were taking care of Zhou Xian who was seriously injured.
The people in the martial arts hall did not force the two to follow. After all, Zhou Xian and the others had already obtained some information inside the courtyard.
If you ask someone to lead the way when he/she is injured, it would be too inhumane.
However, as time went by, the entire courtyard of the Sanhe Gang's base was gradually surrounded by thick fog. Zhou Xian and Wutou's faces changed slightly when they saw this:
"Not good. Look, the fog is spreading outwards. Brother and the others might be trapped in it as well."
Just when Zhou Xian was feeling somewhat frightened, a whistling sound was heard in the air, and then several figures landed around the three people.
"Tiehu, isn't this the disciple of your Tieshan Martial Arts School? Why is he here outside? Blame me. He seems to be seriously injured. Did something happen?"
When Tiehu saw Zhou Xian's appearance, he frowned slightly and quickly came up to Tiehu and asked.
"What happened? Yeah, did you run into an opponent and get hurt by the enemy? Could it be that the people from the Sanhe Gang dared to attack me, the people from our martial arts school?"
Seeing his master arriving, Zhou Xian's expression finally looked better. He quickly stood up and described the situation of the base.
"Master, it's safe to see the other side. This station is also very strange. After the brothers went in, there was no more sound. Fortunately, you felt it, otherwise I really don't know what to do."
The masters of other martial arts schools were anxious when they heard this and said to Tiehu:
"Tiehu, since the address of my martial arts gym is still inside, let's go in and take a look to see who is playing tricks on us."
Tiehu nodded slightly when he heard this and said to Zhou Xian:
"Since you are already injured, don't go in. You two should take good care of your brother here."
Finally, the attention of the other three martial arts gym owners was received:
"Since the disciples from our four martial arts schools are all here, let's act together. No matter what happens, we can take care of them. I hope they are okay in there..."
Zhou Xian looked at the four people entering and finally put his worries aside.
Wutou, who was standing next to him, looked at the powerful Knight of Health and thought of the strange tentacles and mist and couldn't help but said:
"Brother Zhou, is it okay for Master and the others to go in? There is something strange here. I think Master and the others should not go in. Instead, they should start from the outside and demolish all the walls, and then use kerosene to clear the way. This is the only way to be safe."
Zhou Xian couldn't help but snorted when he heard this:
"Master, they are definitely fine. You don't understand the strength of Master and his men at all. Do you really think that masters at the level of refining internal organs are on the same level as us?"
Wang Cheng suddenly spoke up:
"Brother, please send Brother Zhou to the inn to rest first. There is no point in waiting here. I will just listen here."
After hearing Wang Cheng's words, Wutou and the others did not object:
"Okay, Junior Brother, you just stay here and wait for Master and the others to come out and call us from inside the inn."
