Chapter 367: The Shadow
I looked at the smiling corpse on the ground and chilled.
This person's appearance was just to pass the message, and her shot seemed to be fierce, but it didn't hurt either me or Ye Xun at all, but the person who let her send the message didn't want to expose any information because of her, so she was regarded as an outcast.
Even she herself knew this, and still played this role without hesitation, even dying with a smile. She thinks it is a great happiness and glory to die for the sake of her lord?
Since my debut, I have seen many people who can decide the life and death of their subordinates with one word, Si Ruo, Li Bingning, the Torture Palace, and the Demon Gate, but none of them can make their subordinates die so comfortably and peacefully. My opponent did it this time.
The opponent I've been looking for is finally starting to surface, but the fact that he just shows his hand is enough to take my breath away.
Ye Xun ......: "I just shouted and realized that something was wrong." Why didn't Ye Xun come over all this time?
I turned around suddenly, but saw Ye Xun standing in place with bloody eyes in his hands and shaking his head slightly at me. Is he telling me he's okay, or won't he let me move?
When I rushed to Ye Xun's side with an arrow, I saw a blood stain oozing from under his left foot.
"What's wrong with you? I quickly squatted down and grabbed Ye Xun's ankle and lifted the ball of his foot up.
A triangular nail was pierced under Ye Xun's feet, and Yin Yin's blood was oozing out along the soles of Ye Xun's shoes.
"You bear with it. I pinned the edge of the nail with the dagger and violently picked it out, and the long nail suddenly flew out half a meter away with blood stains, and a bloody arrow also spurted out from the sole of Ye Xun's foot.
I was startled by the black blood spurting from Ye Xun's feet: "You sit down quickly, I'll give you ......"
Ye Xun said expressionlessly: "Don't you plan to kiss my feet, I have already forced the poisonous blood out." ”
I was half angry with Ye Xun: "The poison on your body has been solved?"
"Nope. Ye Xun shook his head and said, "I just controlled the poison, and the poison in me should be the same as Li Bingning." ”
I stood up and walked a few steps to Ye Xun's side, and sure enough, I found a few hidden triangular nails on the ground. The moment I saw the hidden weapon on the ground, I couldn't help but gasp: I was calculated by the other party again.
Only then did I remember that Long Mei was running in the wrong direction.
The other party is more familiar with the Nine Palace Array than Ye Xun, he already knows the location of me and Ye Xun, and it is even possible that he has entered the Nine Palace Array one step ahead of us. He didn't ambush me and Ye Xun in the formation, but followed us, and Ye Xun's every move and I fell in his eyes.
It's not scary to have a master hiding nearby, it's scary that he can figure out what we're going to do next.
I wanted to catch Long Mei, and he led Long Mei elsewhere before we did. I remember that Long Mei was facing the direction where the Golden Cicada Gu gathered. When people are panicking, the first choice is to instinctively flee in the opposite direction of danger, but Long Mei inserted the formation sideways, which made it convenient for me and Ye Xun to pursue her.
That person immediately returned to Li Bingning's position after killing Long Mei, took Li Bingning and Da Er away, and calmly laid out, injuring Ye Xun.
He calculated that Ye Xun and I would definitely dodge in a certain direction to the left and right after the dead man suddenly attacked, leaving one person to compete with the other party, and the one who avoided would inevitably step on the poisonous nail he had planted in advance. His purpose was to injure one of us first, so that we had to go in the direction he had predetermined, otherwise, none of us would be able to unravel the poison from our bodies.
I walked up to Ye Xun and said, "I'm going to move the shadows." Both of us put on the golden wolf mask, and from now on, only use the mask to communicate, you listen to me. ”
Ye Xun took out the golden wolf mask and clasped it on his face. The moment I put on the mask, my eyes suddenly flashed with blood. Just a moment later, I heard a gunshot in the distance, and two green flares shot up from a corner of the Nine Palaces Sealing Demon Array, and the sound of killing followed.
"It's started!" When I picked up Ye Xun's legs and ran towards the Demon Sealing Array, Ye Xun quickly transmitted to me: "You are running a dead end. Turning into it over there is a maze, and maybe it will turn us somewhere. ”
"It's a dead end!" I suddenly opened my eyes, and "Cave Watching Fire" also started.
Sure enough, it was the same as I thought, there were no Gu worms in the direction of the maze.
When I followed Ye Xun to track down Long Mei, I had twice quietly transported the "Cave to Watch the Fire" to observe the surroundings, and I found that the place where Ye Xun led me to walk had more or less some hidden breath of Gu worms, but there were no Gu worms where he didn't go.
If my inference is correct, a long time ago, someone turned all the life paths of the Nine Palace Sealing Demon Array into dead ends.
Although the people of Miao Jiang are simple, they are not fools, someone used them to build the Nine Palace Sealing Demon Array, so why can't they use the other party to add a barrier to the secret of Miao Jiang in turn?
The Nine Palace Sealing Demon Array can prevent Miao Jiang Gu Master from entering the core of the Great Array, but if Miao Jiang Gu Master places Fierce Gu on all paths of life, the Great Array will in turn become the burial place of those Formation Mages - they don't understand Gu poison, and if they want to go out of the formation from the same way, they will run into the Ten Fierce Gus, and there will be death and no life; if they don't follow the formation, he himself will be trapped alive and die in the formation. As soon as they died, the Nine Palace Sealing Demon Array became a place where only Miao Jiang Gu Master could enter and exit freely. All the efforts of those Dao masters are just to provide convenience for Miao Jiang.
I dared to break into the middle of the maze, not only to survive in death, but also to verify one thing, that is, whether the Dao Sect masters who were trapped and killed in the formation back then had any back-ups.
Not long after Ye Xun and I broke into the Nine Palace Array, we lost our way, going back and forth among dozens of stone pillars, but we couldn't get out.
Ye Xun couldn't help but speak: "You let me down, I'll climb to the top of the stone pillar and take a look." ”
"Don't move, you wait a minute. "I continued to glance around with my eyes, but I saw a large area of Gu worm's breath faintly coming from all around us. Those Gu worms were like golden cicada Gu lurking inside the stone pillar, they would not be easily exposed without external stimulation, they were all waiting for intruders other than Gu masters.
Only the area where Ye Xun and I were located did not have any breath flowing out. I stretched out my hand and pointed to the vicinity and said, "Ye Xun, look over there, and over there, where is the way to live?"
"I can't see clearly. Ye Xun shook his head and said, "The place you broke into is already a killing game in the Nine Palace Array. Now except for the people who set up the formation, even if the big formation division comes, don't think of going out of the formation without taking the formation map. ”
I looked around a few times before I said, "Then we're in the right place." You come down first, keep an eye out for movement nearby, and tell me if anything is wrong. ”
After I put down Ye Xun, I pulled out the dagger and lay on the ground, knocking it inch by inch with the handle of the knife. When I knocked the whole ground back and forth twice, I didn't find anything abnormal, and I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on my forehead: "Could it be that I miscalculated? That's bad!"
Ye Xun couldn't help but ask, "What did you say that you miscalculated?"
I straightened up and repeated my speculation, then pointed around and said, "There are traces of Gu worms dormant on all sides here, that is to say, there must have been a master among the Gu masters who deliberately besieged someone here, and that person should be the Dao Sect master who arranged the Nine Palace Array." ”
After I finished speaking, I said dejectedly: "But how come there is no trace left here?"
Ye Xun raised his hand and pointed to a stone pillar and said, "See if there's anything over there." ”
When I looked in the direction of his finger, I saw that there was a one-foot-square spot on the stone pillar that was much different from the color of the stone. I walked up and struck the pillar twice with my dagger, and the stone skin on the pillar fell with a sound, revealing a mahogany box hidden inside.
I was just about to reach out to touch it, when I heard Ye Xun say, "That's a wooden box, you be careful." ”
I quickly withdrew my hand, took out a pair of gloves from my backpack, put them on my hand, and gently carried the wooden box to the ground.
But when I looked at the compass on the wooden box, I was worried. When I used to chat with the fox mother, I heard her say that this kind of box with a compass outside is equivalent to the ancient password lock, and the password arranged with the heavenly stems can be successfully opened the secret box, if you don't get it right, it is easy to start the mechanism inside the secret box, at that time, the person who opened the lock was too close to the secret box, even if he wanted to run, he couldn't run, and he could only wait for death.
I don't know how to pick locks, and I don't know what the heavens and terrestrials are, so it's better to make such a secret box than not to find anything. This feeling of being able to see hope right in front of you, but not being able to touch anything, is the most uncomfortable.
When I was spinning around, Ye Xun whispered, "You go and control the wind, I'll try it." ”
"You?" I said in surprise, "don't mess around, this thing isn't for fun. ”
Ye Xun waved his hand and said: "I learned to pick locks with Tao Xiyu, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branch were originally our Daomen's things, and I am more effective than you." You watch well, don't let anyone bother me, especially that person. ”
"Okay!" Now that I can only let Ye Xun try.
After I retreated into the distance, Ye Xun slowly pushed the compass on the box, and my heart suddenly lifted.
Ye Xun looked unusually calm, but the beads of sweat on my head fell to the ground in strings. I wiped the beads of sweat from my head as I watched the movement around me.
I'm also afraid that I won't be able to hide from my opponents. All my plans are aimed at disrupting the opponent's arrangement and restraining the opponent in turn, otherwise, I will always be led by his nose, even if Ye Xun and I have the ability to penetrate the world, sooner or later we will have to be planted in his hands.
I'm just the first step in activating the shadows, and the next step is to make me disappear from the other person's sight for a while. If he really finds me, my plan will be lost for the most part.
When I glanced at Ye Xun, I had to look around three times, even if there was no Ye Xun's command, I had to pay attention to it.
I was anxious, but I heard a sound of the lock cylinder opening from Ye Xun's side.
