Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 256 Blocking the Road

"Those people had their blood sucked dry by that mosquito..."

While sorting out the new clothes he had just obtained from the contact point, Li Zhi spoke to Cheng Fengzi with a serious expression.

Cheng Fengzi was wiping his wet hair, which was still dripping with water. After hearing what Li Zhi said, he stopped what he was doing, nodded slightly and said, "It should be correct. Otherwise, how could a small mosquito have so much blood?"

He recalled the scene just now, and his tone unconsciously took on a chill. No one could imagine that a tiny mosquito could spew out so much blood.

Liu Neng also stepped forward at this time and said in a serious manner: "After our investigation, we found that the deceased in the inn was a merchant who was indeed from Yunman Town. And according to our investigation, he happened to visit Wu Si's home while in Guisong City."

Wu Sibian is the owner of the mansion where Li Zhi caught the mosquito.

Li Zhi and Cheng Fengzi looked at each other and saw the same message in each other's eyes - there is definitely something fishy going on in this Yunman Town.

Fengzi Cheng raised his hand slightly, signaling Liu Neng to go and take care of other matters first. After sending Liu Neng away, he lowered his voice and said to Li Zhi: "The company has sent someone over. Let's go to Yunman Town tomorrow to check the situation."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi replied without hesitation: "Okay!"

After answering, Li Zhi finally remembered something and asked, "Did the company say who was sent over?"

Cheng Fengzi shook his head and said, "No, I just asked the nearest members to come over."

After hearing what Cheng Fengzi said, Li Zhi didn't ask any more questions.

By the early morning of the next day, before the sun had completely dispelled the morning mist, Li Zhi and Cheng Fengzi set out early.

In order not to alert the enemy, they even changed their clothes.

They rode their horses and galloped along the official road leading to Yunman Town. Along the way, both of them remained highly alert, paying attention to the movements around them, and not missing any possible abnormal signs.

As we got closer to Yunman Town, the atmosphere around us seemed to become more and more weird.

The originally lush forest now looked eerie, and the occasional bird calls also revealed an indescribable sadness. It was clearly daytime, but people couldn't help but feel a bone-chilling chill.

There were very few pedestrians on the official road, making it seem particularly deserted. Occasionally, a few passers-by would appear, all in a hurry, as if they had sensed some danger, and they dared not stop for a moment, and soon disappeared at the end of the road.

Cheng Fengzi, who was riding a horse at a fast pace, suddenly pulled the reins hard. The horse neighed loudly, raised its front hooves high, and then stopped steadily.

Cheng Fengzi's face looked extremely ugly at the moment. He looked at Li Zhi solemnly and said loudly: "Xiao Li! Something is wrong, stop for a moment!"

There was an undisguised alertness in his voice; he had obviously sensed something unusual.

When Li Zhi heard Cheng Fengzi's urgent shouting, he did not dare to delay at all. He immediately pulled the reins hard to stop his horse.

He frowned and looked around quickly, trying to find anything that might be unusual.

However, after a quick glance, he did not find anything obviously unusual. Even the mosquito demon he had emitted earlier did not give him any special feedback at this moment. Everything seemed to be calm.

So, Li Zhi asked in confusion: "What's wrong, Uncle Cheng? What happened?"

Cheng Fengzi did not respond to Li Zhi's question immediately. He still frowned and looked around carefully. Just when he opened his mouth and was about to say something.

Suddenly, the ground beneath my feet began to shake violently without any warning. The amplitude of the vibration became stronger and stronger, as if some huge force was breaking out from the ground.

Then, from the cracks in the ground, strange-looking insects emerged one after another.

Each of these insects had red eyes, which were filled with madness and bloodthirstiness. As soon as they appeared, they seemed to have smelled the scent of prey and pounced on Li Zhi and his men madly. They were so fast that they were in front of them in the blink of an eye.

When Fengzi Cheng saw this, his expression suddenly changed. He thought to himself that it was not good and shouted in a low voice: "We are exposed!"

As he spoke, he had already clenched the sickle in his hand and swung it without hesitation. The sickle in his hand turned into silver light and shadows, whirring, and fiercely chopped at the insects that pounced on him, trying to stop them in front of him.

Li Zhi's eyes flashed, and he suddenly jumped up, his figure leaping high into the air, and at the same time shouted: "Fire Armor!"

The sound was like the sound of a huge bell, echoing in the quiet official road.

"Ouch!"

As Li Zhi shouted loudly, a ball of blazing flame instantly burst out from his body.

The flame was a fiery orange-red color, and the temperature was extremely high. As soon as it appeared, it was like a ferocious beast, instantly sweeping towards the insects. Wherever the flame passed, the air seemed to be burned and twisted, making crackling sounds.

Soon, under Li Zhi's fierce fire attack, the insects were burned and suffered heavy casualties. Many insects were instantly swallowed by the flames before they could get close to Li Zhi and his men, turning into wisps of black ashes that floated in the air.

However, before Li Zhi and his companions could breathe a sigh of relief, several monsters suddenly jumped out from the dense jungle nearby.

The appearance of these monsters was exactly the same as the mad little monster that Li Zhi and his companions had encountered on the way before. They all had red eyes and ferocious expressions on their faces. As soon as they appeared, they ran towards Li Zhi and his companions madly, looking so aggressive as if they wanted to eat Li Zhi and his companions alive.

However, although these monsters came with great force, they could not pose any substantial threat to such a powerful combination of Li Zhi and Cheng Fengzi.

Under such fierce counterattack by Li Zhi and Cheng Fengzi, the monsters fell one after another, and finally lay on the ground in a mess, motionless. This sudden attack also came to a temporary end.

The blazing flames on Li Zhi's body gradually dissipated. He looked at Cheng Fengzi with a serious face and said, "Uncle Cheng, judging from the situation, the other party obviously doesn't want us to go to Yunman Town."

A faint smile appeared on Cheng Fengzi's weathered face at this moment, as if these successive attacks did not make him feel panic or fearful at all.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the gleam in his eyes slowly faded away. He replied in a steady tone, "Humph, the more they don't want us to go, the more it shows that there are some extraordinary things hidden in Yunman Town. It seems that there really is a big fish waiting for us!"

Suddenly, Cheng Fengzi seemed to have noticed something, and his nose twitched subconsciously. Then, he slowly raised his head and looked straight ahead.

Suddenly, several monsters appeared not far ahead.

Those monsters have different shapes, some are huge, standing there like hills, exuding a powerful pressure.

Some of them were agile, shuttling quickly in the air, with bloodthirsty light in their red eyes, staring at Li Zhi and the others eagerly.

"It never ends!" Li Zhi couldn't help but curse.

Fengzi Cheng took a deep breath and said calmly, "Go ahead and kill him! Let's see how many monsters he can command!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhi and Cheng Fengzi shot out like arrows from a bow, causing a whistling sound, and rushed towards the direction of the monsters in front without hesitation.
