Chapter 28: The Secret of the Mine (2)
"It's the Yun family's guard. Shen Yuanzhi's expression was much more serious, and he stepped forward to speak, as for Shen Yuanxiu, he had already hidden behind Shen Yuanqi, who had an ugly face.
Shao Heng nodded, and inspected the corpses on the ground with Nangong Beidou and Shangguan Chengtai.
Shen Yuanzhi's feet moved hesitantly, not knowing whether to step forward together.
Suddenly, he noticed a beam of eyes on him, and when he looked up, he saw that it was the only woman among the four people in Cunweishan.
Ning Qingyun's appearance naturally made him almost in a trance when he first saw it, and at this time, the other party glanced at him with an indifferent face, Shen Yuanzhi was embarrassed for a moment, and immediately stepped forward to help Shao Heng.
As soon as he took a step, Shao Heng had already stood up.
"Three corpses, with claw scratches on them, but none of them were fatal. Nangong Beidou's face was a little weird.
"Brother Shao, didn't the people of the Yun family also say that there were no scars found on Senior Brother Liu's body?" Shangguan Chengtai also said.
Xiao Jin turned into a small snake with the thickness of a finger, wrapped around Shao Heng's left arm, and lay down obediently.
Shao Heng stared at the three corpses with dark faces on the ground, especially staying on the corpse's face back and forth for a while, and there was already a faint sense of concern in his heart.
"Since there are claw marks, can you tell what kind of demon beast did it?" asked Shen Yuanzhi.
Nangong Beidou said casually: "There are countless four-clawed demon beasts in the world, how can you tell them?"
Shen Yuanzhi didn't seem to care about this demon beast when he heard Nangong Beidou's tone, and he felt strange in his heart, but for the sake of face, he didn't want to ask too much, so he had to hold back for the time being.
"I wanted to have a lot of forks in the mine, so I went my separate ways when necessary. Now it seems that everyone should not be separated. Although it takes some time, safety comes first. Shao Heng said suddenly.
"Why?" Shen Yuanqi was also scared in his heart, but he asked unconvinced.
Shen Yuanzhi said, "Brother Shao found something?"
Shao Heng glanced at him: "It's just some speculation." Whether it is a human or a demon, the enemy should be good at concealment, so everyone be careful. ”
After speaking, Shao Heng glanced at Nangong Beidou, and the two met their eyes, and Shao Heng knew that Nangong Beidou was almost as he thought in his heart.
The veins of Dipingguan are supported by the Weishan Array, and there are very few demon beasts in the mine, and even if there are, they are just ignorant and low-level people.
can hurt Liu Jing, and the grade of the demon beast must not be low.
This can only mean that something is wrong with the magic circle that is placed here, and no one can find out about this situation.
Shao Heng was a little worried in his heart.
The monster must be extremely cunning and ferocious, but no matter how intelligent the monster is, it will not steal the corpse in plain sight, or bury the corpse under the dirt, and erase all traces.
"It seems that things are a little tricky here. Shao Hengfeng's eyes lit up with a little starlight, and quietly released his divine sense, and his true qi continued to wander in his body, traveling around the sky, maintaining the most vigilant state to deal with emergencies.
If there was no thunderous attack, how could Liu Jing be caught off guard? How could no one have escaped so far?
It's just, where are the others?
Only three corpses were found, and Liu Jing should have brought eight people. If one escaped and died, why didn't the other four be buried on the spot if they didn't survive? If the five didn't die and didn't escape, were they taken away by the enemy?
Why did the other party steal Liu Jing's body, and what was wrong with the body?
In other words, what is the use of the other party needing the body of a monk in the late stage of Zhuyuan?
The surrounding stone walls and the roads under his feet became more and more untidy, and there were potholes everywhere, and Shao Heng knew that he had entered the depths of the mine.
Shao Heng recalled the feeling of the soles of his feet when he passed by before, and they should have been some distance from the ground at this time.
The field of vision in front of me is also a little wider than before, and there are many equipment scattered around.
"The stone wall is empty, and there is a slight remnant of aura, which should be the place where it was mined before. Nangong Beidou touched the mountain wall and said: "Although the vein is long, it is almost here that mortals can reach, and then the monk needs to find the location of the main vein first, and then continue mining." If it weren't for the miner's own opinion, I'm afraid that the first batch of people who would have had an accident would have been the monks of the Yun family. ”
Shao Heng didn't speak when he heard this, and Shangguan Chengtai and Ning Qingyun also remained silent.
Shen Yuanzhi only understood a little at this time, and subconsciously said, "You mean, this is something that someone did on purpose? It's not a demon beast, and the target is actually a monk?"
"It's not too stupid. Nangong Beidou rolled his eyes.
"Someone? Didn't you say that there was a magic circle of your Cunwei Mountain here, and it was so easy to let the enemy infiltrate? I don't think the name of Cunwei was just Er'er......" Shen Yuanqi immediately shouted.
Nangong Beidou's face changed, he smiled angrily, and said in a cold tone: "Oh, why don't you try it and see what the name of Cunwei Mountain is?"
When Nangong Beidou spoke, his body did not move in the slightest, but a frost-like cold immortal sword had already appeared in front of Shen Yuanqi like a teleportation.
The immortal sword castrated extremely quickly and mightily, carrying countless frost flowers, piercing out like a north wind whistling, and the temperature of the entire mine seemed to drop a lot in an instant, as if it was falling into winter.
Shen Yuanqi only felt a flash in front of his eyes, a biting cold wind hit his face, and the whole person was like falling into an ice cave, and he couldn't move a single step as he watched the Flying Frost Sword stab.
"Brother Nangong's subordinates are merciful!" Shen Yuanzhi was shocked that Nangong Beidou said that he would make a move, and shouted in shock.
"Xuanjue!"
The chill in front of Shen Yuanqi suddenly subsided, and when he opened his eyes again, the Flying Frost Sword had returned and fell back into Nangong Beidou's hands.
Nangong Beidou snorted lightly, turned his head and left, Shen Yuanzhi glared at his clan brother fiercely, and was secretly frightened. Shen Yuanqi's cultivation was lacking in knowledge, so he naturally couldn't dodge Nangong Beidou's swift blow. But if it were him, he might not be able to deal with it in time.
And what shocked Shen Yuanzhi even more was not Nangong Beidou, but Shao Heng.
Nangong Beidou was temporary, but he was also measured, at most he let Shen Yuanqi suffer some flesh and skin.
If Shen Yuanqi was really injured, his Shen family would not be too much of a fan because of the Nangong family and Cunweishan's face.
It's just that Shao Heng obviously has other ideas.
Nangong Beidou's Flying Frost Sword was fast enough, but Shao Heng came first, and he opened the Flying Frost Sword lightly without the slightest trace, as if a goose had passed without a trace, and a dragonfly touched the water.
This made Shen Yuanzhi refresh his understanding of Shao Heng again.
"I thought that there should be a coincidence in the first time when this person was in Xiaolang Villa, but seeing this person today can make the people of the Nangong family, who have always been unruly, bow their heads, and they have overestimated it by a few points, but I didn't expect it...... It seems that the person who can make Shen Yuanxi recognize and make friends is really extraordinary. Shen Yuanzhi thought in his heart, and while playing a round field, he secretly warned Shen Yuanqi and Shen Yuanxiu again to put away their tempers.
Shen Yuanqi has not suffered many setbacks since he was a child, and he has developed some family tempers, but he was frightened by Nangong Beidou, no matter what he did in his heart, his face finally restrained a little.
Shen Yuanxiu was neither afraid nor angry, he only stared at Nangong Beidou with wide eyes, his eyes full of curiosity.
After this episode, the crowd continued to walk forward.
Shao Heng's ears heard Nangong Beidou's subtle voice: "Don't you also look down on the people of the Shen family?" He has no words, even if something happens, I will take the blame, not to mention that I just scare him, and you are troublesome!"
A hint of laughter flashed at the corner of Shao Heng's mouth when he heard this, and his lips moved slightly: "It's better to have more than one thing." Since the other party is trying to get Senior Brother Shen to return to the sect, if you have a conflict with his Shen family, how can they let go of this excellent opportunity to show their goodwill?"
Nangong Beidou was about to say, "They dare?", but after thinking about it, what Shao Heng said was indeed very likely.
Thinking of knowing that he was reasonable, but being regarded by the other party as a gesture of goodwill to Cunwei and Shen Yuanxi, Nangong Beidou felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly, so he no longer cared about Shao Heng's move.
"Stay. When everyone walked forward cautiously, Shao Heng's heart moved, and he received a message from Xiao Jin: "There is some fishy smell ahead. ”
The others were all the same all the way, and they couldn't help but feel a little slack in their hearts, and when they heard Shao Heng's words, they were suddenly shocked and stepped up their vigilance.
"Huh, what's that?" Shen Yuanxiu's crisp voice sounded in the passage, and there was a slight echo, and the sound shook the hearts of others.
Shao Heng looked back and saw Shen Yuanxiu's white fingers pointing at a sunken corner on the side of the passage.
The corner was covered with dust, as if something had fallen, and at first glance it looked like a mass of clothing.
Shen Yuanxiu curiously took a few steps closer to the corner, wanting to look more closely.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Shao Heng caught a glimpse of the mass of things moving very slightly, and immediately reacted and shouted, "Be careful!"
As he spoke, Shao Heng shook his hands together.
Xiao Jin and the Heavenly Machine Sword turned into two streamers, one gold, and one black, and shot towards that mass of things!
A voice suddenly jumped out of the mass of things, and rushed straight towards Shen Yuanxiu's face, and when he was about to fall on Shen Yuanxiu's delicate face, he was forced to turn in the air by the Heavenly Machine Sword and Xiao Jin.
"Ahh
"Squeak squeak!" the thing let out a short, high-pitched cry as its figure roamed the mountain wall like a ghost.
The color of its body hair almost blends with the black stone wall, but the face that peeks out in the darkness still makes people feel a chill.
"Mandrill?" Shen Yuanzhi blurted out, but was interrupted by Nangong Beidou: "No! It's a purple-faced Yin Corpse!"
The beast lifted its body-sized head in the darkness, revealing a deep purple nose that took up almost the entire face. There are grooves on each side of the bridge of the nose, and a long beard hangs down, and between the whiskers a long pointed object is exposed, which is like a mosquito's mouthparts in the shape of a stinging and sucking.
Shao Heng knew why the three corpses before had no obvious injuries.
Because the demon beast in front of him, after controlling the prey, stretched out the mouthparts, pierced the head and sucked the brain marrow.
The fatal wound is hidden in the thick hair of the man!
"The purple-faced Yin Corpse has harsh generation conditions, and it must be in the Yin Qi before it can be transformed by the corpse. This place is the Yuanjing ore vein, and the aura is abundant, and there are loopholes in the algorithm array, and there is no place to raise such monsters nearby. Could it be ...... that demon beast clinging to the stone wall with its limbs, motionless, and everyone did not make further movements for the time being, but Shao Heng had some doubts in his heart.
"Ahh
I don't know when Shen Yuanxiu, who retreated to the end out of fear, was like a rag doll, and was dragged away by another half-human-tall purple-faced Yin corpse like lightning in front of everyone!
