For a moment, even the military strategist Iron Mouth, who had won numerous battles since joining the Food Protection Army, was at a loss. He had roamed the world for many years and had never encountered such a strange phenomenon. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Strange, truly strange."

Not only this strategist but also Hu Ma and Er Guotou, upon hearing of this incident, left Mingzhou and headed to the border of Tengzhou to investigate. They parted ways from the scouts sent by the Food Protection Army and did not travel together.

Upon seeing these two hills, both of them were quite astonished, especially Er Guotou, who used the Yin Yang Two Sceneries Plate to examine, muttering to himself: "The hills are real, the trees are real too, but the earth veins don't connect; it seems they weren't originally from this land."

"What kind of thing could move them here? And if they settle here, how long will they have to rest?"

"..."

"Have the skills of those in the Path reached such a degree?"

Hu Ma also found it peculiar. He pondered for a moment, but with all his knowledge, he couldn't think of any skill that could accomplish such a feat.

He felt a slight chill in his heart, walked forward slowly, and placed his palm against the stone of the hill.

Next to him, Er Guotou was frowning silently. Suddenly, he noticed Hu Ma's action, took a deep breath, and his eyes widened.

But he saw Hu Ma just press his hand on it and then slowly retreat it, suddenly becoming a bit nervous, asking anxiously: "What's wrong? Can't move it?"

"What the heck?"

Hu Ma thought it was strange to hear this, glanced at the seemingly endless hill, and then at the somewhat expectant Er Guotou, saying: "You expect me to move it?"

Er Guotou said: "You guys in Shousui are strong!"

"Is strength really the issue here?"

Hu Ma took a deep look at these two strange and bizarre hills, slowly withdrew his gaze, and said: "However, no matter what, it seems clear that this might be the work of people from the Ten Families."

"The Food Protection Army's victory in attacking Huzhou was a major success, taking advantage of their fame to expand. But these two great hills seem to hit right at the heart of the Food Protection Army's weakness."

"And such an incredible ability might only be within the reach of those from the Path."

"Trick!"

He slowly looked up, saying: "It's just that we're not yet clear if the Trick Door placed such a challenge here to duel us now or if they have another idea in mind?"

The Trick Door is rumored to have nine lies and one truth; though often mocked for their trickery, one must admit that when you occasionally see the real thing in their hands, it's beyond the wonders of typical Magic Path techniques.

So when encountering something inexplicable, which can't be understood, it's necessary to suspect the Trick Door people.

"This is quite a difficult issue."

Er Guotou wandered among the hills, concentrating deeply. Though he had been watching closely since the battle of Huzhou, he hadn't been this serious before.

For the Reincarnator, contending for destiny and pursuing fate is a task, but this task belongs to Hu Ma's side, and they don't necessarily have to support the Food Protection Army.

For them, dueling with the Ten Families is the key issue.

Since the Trick Door has drawn the line here, breaking the Trick Door's method is a major task. However, already cautious of the Ten Families, seeing such a feat still surprises.

Both his and little junior brother Hu Ma's skills are not small among the Reincarnators, yet they cannot discern the specifics of these two hills. Could anyone else then?

"Perhaps we should first invite Miss Red Wine over to take a look? She's from the Trick Door and might be able to spot something!"

As the two were discussing, they heard footsteps echoing within the mountainside. Looking up, they heard a voice tinged with surprise and joy ask: "Is that Brother Hu down there?"

Hu Ma also found the voice familiar, feeling puzzled until he saw a figure emerge from the woods.

She was dressed in light green attire, a smile playing at her lips, her gaze filled with both excitement and shyness, watching Hu Ma from afar as if hesitant to approach.

"You..."

Hu Ma was surprised to encounter her here. The girl finally mustered the courage, walked slowly down the hill, and gave a gentle bow to Hu Ma, exclaiming: "Brother Hu, Wu He is here, and I want to thank you for saving my life back then..."
