It didn't take long to return to Ningcheng from Shaoxing City.
Along the way, Mu Zhuoyi always stood one step behind and to the left of Hu Gao.
That is the usual position of the personal guard.
It is only one step away, which will not make the person being protected feel uncomfortable, but also can step forward to protect as soon as any situation arises.
Of course, Mu Jin discovered the mystery of her sister's location, and her expression became a little complicated.
He never expected that after his sister recovered, she would directly become Hu Gao's personal bodyguard.
This change caught him off guard.
"Forget it, my sister's life was originally saved by Brother Hu Gao.
Since it was my sister's choice, as a brother, I can only respect her.
And even if I persuade her, she will not listen to me."
Mu Jinzai I sighed secretly in my heart.
There was no difference between Ningcheng and Hu Gao when they left.
Due to the days of chaos and Lang Zheng's bloody rule, the residents of Ningcheng had already fled the homeland where they had lived for generations.
Even after Lang Zheng died, the Lang family They have also left, and these overly frightened residents have no intention of returning.
Today's Ningcheng is a dead city.
Standing in the ruins of the war courtyard, Du Kang couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"This, this, this is Ningcheng, this is Ningcheng, how could the War Academy become like this?"
Du Kang has been to Ningcheng several times, and also visited Yang Dingtian twice.
The grand scene of Ningcheng yesterday seemed to be still in front of us, but in front of us was a deserted and lifeless ruins.
He couldn't help but be surprised by this strong contrast.
"Some time ago, there should have been a large wave of refugees from Ningcheng pouring into Shaoxing.
Haven't you heard any news at all?"
"I heard some people in Shaoxing City talking about Ningcheng experiencing great changes and being ruled by outsiders.
But I didn't expect that it would turn out like this.
Even the War Academy no longer exists.
Then where is my old friend He?"
Hu Gao did not answer, but led Du Kang towards the direction of Shimen.
After not taking two steps, Hu Gao suddenly raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "There are actually people who will come to Ningcheng at this time, except for people from the Lang family." , probably those scavengers.”
Scavengers, this is a strange group of people living throughout the Totem Continent.
Most of these people are indolent and yearn for a life of getting something for nothing.
Therefore, they often appear in some old family sites or city ruins where natural or man-made disasters have occurred, looking for the wealth that may have been left behind by those who died in the disaster.
This behavior is no different from those scavengers in the animal kingdom that live on the carrion of dead beasts, so they are called scavengers.
Of course, they themselves will never admit this title.
They prefer to call themselves "relic seekers".
Sure enough, when Hu Gao and his party walked to the location of the stone gate, they found a dozen people studying around the black stone gate.
Apparently, they had regarded this black stone door as the passage door to the treasure house, and they were trying hard to open the door.
For some reason, Yang Dingtian and Yang Le behind the stone gate did not come out to expel this group of people, but remained silent behind the gate.
This group of scavengers soon noticed the arrival of Hu Gao and others, and their eyes became wary.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
The leader of the scavengers looked at Hu Gao and others warily.
"It's strange, haven't these questions always been asked by others to the scavengers?
Today, the wind has turned and it's you scavengers who are asking them."
Hu Gao couldn't help but laugh.
No scavenger wants to be called a scavenger, and this group is certainly no exception.
Hearing that Hu Gao actually used the discriminatory term "scavenger", the expressions of the scavengers instantly became angry.

"This place already belongs to us, please leave."
The leader of this group of scavengers continued to say harsh words.
"That's not possible."
Hu Gao waved his hand in a pretense, "I traveled all the way from Shaoxing City to invite this Master Du Kang back, how could you drive him away so easily?"
"Then you're going to have to drink wine as a penalty instead of toasting me."
The scavenger leader's eyes became ferocious.
"Hey, such a ferocious character is not what a scavenger should have."
Hu Gao said with a strange smile, "And with your seventh-level strength in the Total Body Realm, you can obviously make plans in any small town.
You have a good identity and status, but you have become a scavenger.
I really don’t understand how you came up with it.
Are you willing to help me explain it?”
The scavenger leader couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that Hu Gao could see his strength at a glance.
Could it be that this incomprehensible boy is stronger than him?
This is impossible.
How old is this guy?
There is no way he is stronger than himself.
The leader of the scavenger glanced at Hu Gao and everyone again.
In his opinion, among the group of people in front of him, only the woman in red armor was the strongest.
She was at the seventh level of the Total Body Realm like him.
The three men including Hu Gao couldn't tell the depth of their strength, but judging from their Based on his age, it is estimated that even if he is stronger than him, he is not much stronger.
At most, he is only around the eighth level of the Total Body Realm.
As for the last target without any energy, the scavenger leader simply ignored it selectively.
The scavenger didn't have the slightest worry in his heart.
Even if he couldn't see the strength of Hu Gao and the others, even if the three of Hu Gao were really at the eighth level of the Total Body Realm, he wouldn't have the slightest fear in leading a group of scavengers to the east these years.
Running westward, he has gained quite a lot.
They are just three boys at the eighth level of the Total Body Realm, but he still doesn’t take them seriously.
"Well, this is my own choice.
You don't need to worry about asking again, do you want to go or not?"
"Is it difficult to guess the answer to this question?
Why do you have to ask it again and again?
Of course it is impossible."
"Then you are seeking death yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of the scavenger suddenly rose up, holding a pair of daggers, and with the light wings on his back, his speed increased to an unimaginable level in an instant, and he rushed towards Hu Gao.
To capture the thief, capture the king first With the blessing of the earth-level mid-level Yuan Jue, the scavenger leader's speed has become comparable to that of the intermediate-level Explosive Yuan Realm.
Although this earth-level mid-level Yuan Jue that explodes speed to the extreme will weaken the power of his attack, he believes that , with the strength of these boys, there is absolutely no way they can react to such a rapid attack.
Even if the power of the attack is reduced, it is still enough to kill him with one blow.
Seeing the scavenger leader rushing towards them, Hua Rong and Mu Jin took their bows at the same time, but it was too late to draw an arrow and strike.
They could only watch as the scavenger leader rushed in front of Hu Gao.
At the critical moment, a crimson figure suddenly flashed, and a flaming long sword was guarded in front of Hu Gao, blocking the two daggers in the hands of the scavenger leader.
The scavenger leader's strength had declined due to the use of the earth-level mid-level Yuan Jue "Wings of Predation".
He actually suffered a loss in this head-on contact.
He took more than ten steps back and his arms were numb.
Mu Zhuoyi, who was holding a red long sword, would not let go of such an opportunity.
He exerted all his strength, straightened his sword and chased after him.
Before the leader of the scavengers could recover from the numbness in his arms, he was hit by Mu Zhuoyi's quick sword in succession.

He hastily responded with both daggers, and was completely defeated.
The two of them fought for more than ten rounds.
Mu Zhuoyi suddenly had a sharp look in his eyes.
He opened his right hand holding the hilt of the sword and threw it up a foot.
He then turned to hold the sword in his backhand.
At the same time, he stepped forward with one step, relying on his human-level body.
The scavenger leader took a dagger from his full body armor, and the sword light spun around.
In the blink of an eye, the sharp edge of the long sword was already placed on the neck of the leader of the scavengers.
Feeling the chill on his neck, the scavenger leader's eyes glazed over.
He didn't know what happened just now, let alone how the woman's sword in front of him was placed on his neck.
Everything seemed to happen in an instant.
The leader of the scavengers could not help but be stunned.
Even Hu Gao, who was watching the battle, was also stunned.
This was the first time Hu Gao saw Mu Zhuoyi take action.
He was also at the seventh level of the Total Body Realm.
The difference in strength between the two was a bit too big.
"Me me me" "What are you?"
Hu Gao rolled his eyes at the scavenger leader, "Were you quite majestic a moment ago?
Why can't you even speak now?"
"Me me me" "Goodbye you, you, me, me, mine.
We have no grudges.
Although your murderous intention just now gave me enough reason to kill you, I have no interest in killing people recently.
So, you should go with your people.
Bar" Hearing that Hu Gao was willing to let him go, the leader of the scavengers immediately bowed his head and kowtowed in thanks: "Thank you very much for your kindness in not killing me, thank you very much."
"Then before you leave, hand over the Yuan Jue you just used."
The scavenger leader opened his mouth wide and looked up at Hu Gao.
He was stunned for a while, then put on an expression like a dead father, and used the Earth-level mid-level Yuan Jue "Plundering Light" that he had acquired less than a year ago and had not fully mastered yet.
"Wing" was handed over to Hu Gao.
After the scavengers fled in despair, Hu Gao simply looked at the newly obtained Yuan Jue and put it away with satisfaction.
With Hu Gao's current eyesight, he could naturally see that the scavenger leader was able to display such terrifying speed because he was blessed by some Yuan Jue that at least reached the earth level.
How could Hu Gao, who was already good at winning with speed, possible?
Let go of such a good thing Originally, Hu Gao was planning to slap the guy to the ground, but unexpectedly, Mu Zhuoyi stole the limelight.
Thinking of this, Hu Gao turned around and looked at Mu Zhuoyi, who was standing one step behind him again, and said softly: "I know your strength, but the way you traded injuries for lives just now, don't do it again in the future.
Used.
You should understand that you mean more to me than just a guard."
"Yes."
Mu Zhuoyi felt sweet and nodded.
Suddenly, a burst of hearty laughter completely destroyed the atmosphere that Hu Gao had finally created.
"Hahahaha Brother Hu Gao, you are finally back."
"I've seen enough of the show."
Hu Gao couldn't help but rolled his eyes
