Chapter 144 - 138: Furious Blood Fangs
The Gold Family estate that’d been abandoned was still a bit far from the small town, and though it was a bit closer to Earthly City, Lu Hong and the others didn’t dare go there. Cities generally had armies stationed in them, and since they hadn’t fully grasped the situation with the Rain of Fire yet, it was best not to launch an assault lightly. It was crucial to hide the strength of their small team and catch the enemy off guard if necessary.
After half a day’s time, the sun had already set, its last bit of warmth bestowed upon the land of Rain of Fire that had suffered greatly from the ravages of war.
Old man Ke and the others shed their Thunder Family war attire and disguised themselves as villagers as they entered the peril-ridden small town—Linlin Town.
"Something feels off," Old man Ke walked down the streets of the town, surveying his surroundings, then quietly moved closer to Lu Hong, "Why do I feel like everyone in town is watching us?"
"Relax, they shouldn’t be able to spot us, unless the Gold Family has a special way of identifying us," Lu Hong also felt the same as Old man Ke.
"Walk slower." The two exchanged glances and chose to continue observing, slowing down the group’s pace.
On the tea house at the street corner, a middle-aged man stared intently at Old man Ke who was at the front. The experienced Old man Ke also felt this hostile gaze and looked up.
"Not good! Retreat quickly!" As soon as Old man Ke saw the man’s face, he was shocked and hurriedly ordered a retreat.
