Chapter 458 (1/2)
“Chief Gao, wake up everyone, we need to leave now!” after Chu Yunsheng got off the rock, he went straight to find chief Gao and woke him up.
“Now?” Chief Gao answered with a pair of sleepy eyes.
He had just gone to sleep no long ago. As the chief of the village, there were many things he needed to handle personally. Moreover, after the “celestial beings” left, his rest was again disrupted by his villager’s gossip. And those gossips were nothing but all kinds of stories about those “celestial beings”.
Those rumors or stories were probably the only entertainment that the people on the scorched land had.
“Yes, now! It will be too late if we leave later!” Chu Yunsheng squinted his eyes to gaze at the distant dark sky. The warm light from the campfire reflected off his wrinkled old face, making him look extraordinarily stern.
“What happened?” hearing what he said, Chief Gao instantly woke up and asked in a panic.
“They are coming!” Chu Yunsheng simply said.
He did not tell the village chief Gao that it was “the celestial beings” that they admired the most were coming, not the black cloaked man that they feared the most.
Every word and action that that young extraordinary handsome military officer did was heard and seen by him. With many years of experiences in dealing with dangerous situations, his instinct told him that that man would definitely come back to clean up everything without telling that long-haired woman.
Of course, village chief Gao would not think that those “celestial beings” would do such things to lowly people like them. He almost instantly thought that Chu Yunsheng was talking about the cloaked men. They were only scared of the cloaked men – their direct rulers. Although the “celestial beings” were also very strong, they were not in the same world.
The village chief was in the state of panic. He was walking back and forth in the same place, and his forehead was already covered with sweat.
“Chief?” Chu Yunsheng frowned. He did not understand why the chief did not wake up other people.
“Are we still able to run away?” the village chief Gao’s face was filled with fear.
“Possible!” Chu Yunsheng quickly said. Then he suddenly disappeared. When he appeared again, he was already next to a campfire.
“Quick, put out all the campfires now! And move in silence.” he carried on as he put out the campfire.
The village chief Gao was shocked. He was the only person in the entire village, who saw Chu Yunsheng use his strange ability twice. Although he did not see it very clear, he was not stupid. What Chu Yunsheng said was most likely true.
“It is too dark, without any fire torches, I am afraid that we can’t walk very far,” the village chief Gao calmed himself down and said. Looking at the dark sky, his concern was not all wrong.
In the pitch-black night, rus.h.i.+ng to walking on the mountain roads was definitely a suicide.
Chu Yunsheng also understood this. But he already had an idea. Pointing at the ropes that those people had brought with them, he said. “Use those ropes, and split up the people into three lines. You know how to use them better than me. So hurry up. We don’t have much time.”
He did not know how long the flying machine had left because he was trying to sort out his mental problem at that time. So that young officer could come back at any time.
Village chief Gao nodded his head and hurriedly left to arrange the escape.
Soon, under the fear of the cloaked men, around two hundred villagers were split into three lines and everyone was holding the ropes in panic.
As Chu Yunsheng waved his hand, a gust of Ben Ti Yuan Qi wind suddenly blew toward the last campfire and put it out. The area instantly fell into pitch-black.
Losing the last light source caused a slight commotion in the crowd. But Chu Yunsheng did not care about those things. Although he was holding the senile girl in his arms, it didn’t affect his movement much.
With the help of the three-dimensional shadows in the fourth-dimension, he quickly found the three heads of the ropes and grabbed them using his other hand.
“Pa.s.s down the message, follow the rope and don’t panic.” He said to the first three people that were holding the ropes.
Quickly, waves of whispers began to appear in the crowd.
Chu Yunsheng waited for a minute before he started to walk away.
