Chapter 366: The Contest

I gently pressed his arm at the moment of cold burst in Ye Xun's eyes, and pointed at the warrior and made a gesture to cover his mouth, and the latter put it down in understanding*, but I took out two arrows from his quiver and held them in my hand.

The movements of the two of us only happened in a few seconds, and the warrior who was exploring the path walked in front of the stone pillar, and Ye Xun took advantage of the other party's probe to grab the man's neck and forcibly drag him behind the stone pillar.

As soon as the man was controlled by Ye Xun, there was an exclamation outside: "Why is there no person?

A cold sweat also broke out on Long Mei's forehead: "Wait a minute, wait a minute." ”

From the moment I saw Long Mei behind the stone pillar, I guessed that this Nine Palace Sealing Demon Array could not only seal the evil demons, but also use the stone pillar to seal one independent space after another, and people standing outside would not be able to see the things in the space, otherwise, Ye Xun would not lean on the pillar unscrupulously and raise a crossbow to aim.

I took advantage of the fact that Long Mei outside was in a position to retreat and did not dare to act rashly, I held the two crossbow arrows in my hands like chopsticks, clamped the Gu worm that came out of the crack in the stone, and pointed to Ye Xun at the person's lips.

Although that Gu worm is very similar to the summer Zhizhi, its two forefeet are different from ordinary Zhizhi, but are somewhat like the knife arms of a praying mantis, not only extremely sharp, but also with unimaginable strength. The moment I clamped the Gu worm with the arrow, the latter's forefoot sharpened the shaft of the arrow, and the sound of an iron poking against metal suddenly burst out, and the two arrows also vibrated several times in my hand in a row, almost falling out of my hand.

I made a "hurry up" gesture to Ye Xun, Ye Xun grabbed the man's neck with one hand, and forcibly pinched the man's mouth with the other. I shoved the Gu worm into his mouth amid the other man's terrified gaze.

Ye Xun took advantage of the situation to pull the person up, and slapped his palms on the person's shoulders at the same time, and the person stumbled backwards, grabbed his throat with both hands and fell out of space in a few steps in a row.

"Hurry ......up," Long Mei had just shouted the word "quick" when the man sat down on the ground, blood gushing from his mouth and pointing at the stone pillar in front of us.

He wanted to say that Ye Xun and I were hiding behind the formation, but Long Mei misunderstood the other party's meaning: "There are Gu worms behind that pillar, be careful." I'll take a look at ......"

Long Mei only said two words, and a cloud of blood burst out from the inside out of the man's throat - when the Gu worm I had just stuffed into the man's mouth forcibly tore open the person's throat and burst out, a pair of cicada wings had already grown. The blood beads that were shaken by the wing membrane were like a mist enveloping the body of the insect, and the Gu worm, which was only the size of an ordinary cicada, burst into bursts of golden light from the blood mist under the light of the fire.

"Golden Cicada Gu!" Long Mei took two steps back as she covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Catch it quickly, don't let it attract its companions." ”

The faces of the Miao Jiang Gu masters who were surrounding the Golden Cicada Gu changed suddenly, and they all took off their coats and gathered in the direction of the Golden Cicada Gu, and together they waved their clothes to cover the Golden Cicada flapping its wings in the air.

After several coats fell from all sides, the golden cicada was covered, and Shengsheng buttoned it to the ground. Several people pressed their coats at the same time, and the sound of cotton cloth being torn by insect feet burst out under the clothes, and the forefeet of Gu insects like sharp knives instantly pierced the cotton cloth coat on the ground and swiped outward.

The Gu master standing on the periphery didn't wait for the golden cicada Gu to cut through his clothes, and at the same time grabbed the medicinal powder from his body and sprinkled it behind the golden cicada through his clothes.

The medicinal powder fell, and the Golden Cicada Gu, who was still struggling just now, suddenly quieted down, and the Gu Master who surrounded the Golden Cicada Gu also breathed a sigh of relief. One of the Gu masters smiled and said, "This Golden Cicada Gu is mine." ”

"Nonsense!" someone immediately retorted, "According to the rules, whoever contributes the most will get the Gu worm." Why did I give you the Golden Cicada Gu?"

The man's face sank: "There are many opportunities in the secret realm, why do you have to compete with me for a golden cicada Gu." Next ......"

"I want the Golden Cicada Gu this time! "The other party will not give an inch.

"That's enough!" Long Mei said with a blue face, "When is it now, you still have a quarrel over a Gu worm......?"

Before Long Mei finished speaking, there was a sudden stabbing sound on the ground like a quick knife cutting through the cotton cloth, and the Gu worms that had been dormant just now instantly jumped up and flew towards the throat of one of them.

A warrior standing beside the man didn't wait for the Gu worm to get closer, and slashed at the flying golden cicada in the air.

"Don't hurt the Divine Gu......" Before the Gu Master who was clamoring to take down the Golden Cicada just now could stop it, the long knife in the warrior's hand collided with the Golden Cicada with a crisp sound in the air.

No one expected that the Gu worm, which was only two inches long, was not only not cut into two pieces by the long knife, but instead stood on the blade in a half circle around the blade, looking up at the Miao warrior with a colorless face.

As soon as the latter was about to abandon his sword and retreat, the Gu master shouted sharply: "Don't move! Don't move......

The moment the warrior reluctantly held up the long knife and looked at the Gu Master, the golden cicada lying on the knife suddenly vibrated its wings and let out a cry as if it understood. With the voice of the Gu worm, Long Mei's face changed drastically: "The Golden Cicada Gu is going to riot, go quickly!"

"Great Witch, where are we going?" everyone panicked for a moment. They have been trapped in the Nine Palace Array, there are stone pillars on all sides, and they will lose their way if they are not careful, where are they going at this time?

Long Mei was at a loss, and the sound of stone skin shattering came from the stone pillars around me one after another, and the larvae of the Golden Cicada Gu broke out one after another, lying on the stones and losing their cicada clothes.

I beckoned lightly to Ye Xun, who took a step back and kicked the stone pillar in front of him. The pillar with a diameter of almost one foot snapped under his feet and fell in front of the Miao Jiang people, but Ye Xun himself hid by my side while the stone pillar was broken and the dust was everywhere.

Although the golden cicada Gu larvae hidden in the stone pillar have broken through the stone, there is still a short period of time before they completely fade off their clothes and flutter their wings and fly into the sky, which is enough for Ye Xun and I to perform a good show of scaring the grass and snakes.

As soon as Long Mei saw the dense golden cicada larvae, she panicked, and didn't care that she was still in the magic circle, turned around and rushed into the two stone pillars and disappeared.

"Chase!" Ye Xun gently pulled me, and took the first step to break into the maze. I followed Ye Xun and ran a few steps before I heard a scream behind me - the Golden Cicada Gu had already been launched, and the Miao Jiang people who had not had time to escape were surrounded by Gu worms, and it was only a matter of time before the entire army was annihilated.

After I followed Ye Xun quickly and rushed out a few hundred meters, I saw Long Mei sitting next to a stone pillar, the red blood water kept dripping from her, and the person seemed to be silent.

After Ye Xun and I glanced at each other, we went around to Long Mei's side left and right. Ye Xun stretched out his hand and touched the other party's neck: "The person is already dead, a knife is fatal, and the knife is wounded in the heart." Not only did she not resist before she died, but she also seemed to be the one who deliberately approached her. ”

Ye Xun stretched out his hand and pulled away the blood-stained clothes on Long Mei's chest: "The murderer used *, and after he shot, he also turned the blade of the knife, directly shattering Long Mei's heart." ”

I looked at the bloodstained footprints on the ground, and a set of images couldn't help but emerge in my mind: Long Mei's first reaction when she saw the murderer was not to be vigilant, but to reach out and hug the other party, just at the moment when she opened her arms and wanted to throw herself into the other party's arms, but was stabbed in the chest by the murderer, and the other party not only shot like electricity, but even turned the handle of the knife.

From Long Mei's eyes that had never been closed, you could see how heartbroken she was at the moment of being killed - when the other party pulled out the bayonet, Long Mei did not die on the spot, she even took two steps back, as if she wanted to take a second look at the murderer, because she didn't believe that the other party would kill her, but what she saw in the end was a face that made her desperate, because that face was too familiar to her.

It is precisely because of this that Long Mei's face has tear stains, and she looked in the direction of the murderer's departure with tears in her eyes before she died.

I stood up and said, "Miscalculated." ”

My original intention was to disassemble Longmei's men and horses and take Longmei alone. But I didn't expect that I succeeded in the first step, but I was preempted by someone when I took the second step.

Ye Xun looked at me and said, "The opponent is even more powerful than we imagined. Start the shadows, if you don't move her, maybe she'll be in danger too. ”

"Wouldn't it be too early to move the shadows?" I hesitated, "I believe the shadows are more powerful than we thought. Let's go back first. ”

Ye Xun nodded slightly, and then took me to bypass the range controlled by the Golden Cicada Gu and returned to the place where Li Bingning was hiding. As soon as the two of us walked near Li Bingning, we reached for the weapon at the same time.

Big Ear is not there, there is only Li Bingning on the ground, something must have happened here.

Big Ear likes to play a little temperament, but he will definitely carry out what Ye Xun tells him. The poison on Li Bingning's body has not yet been unraveled, and Big Ear will not leave her here.

When Ye Xun and I walked towards Li Bingning step by step, the latter's body suddenly bounced up from the ground, flipped horizontally in the air several times, and reached out with both hands with five-fingered steel claws and grabbed Ye Xun and me at the same time.

Ye Xun took a step back, but I pulled out my sword in an instant and blocked my opponent. When the blade of the sky pierced through the shadow of the heavenly claws and stabbed into the opponent's chest, the man's hands clasped the long knife at the same time, and the ten steel claws instantly jammed my blade and pulled outward.

For a moment of stalemate between the two of us, I grabbed the handle of the knife and flipped it out. The four-foot contempt turned into a golden pillar of light in my hand, and my opponent's steel claw completely shattered in an instant, and as the blade turned and bounced to the ground, I pushed the hilt of the sword.

The blade of the sky stabbed out of her chest as the opponent was defenseless, piercing through her back.

The other party held the back of the knife with his hand, struggled and said, "If you want the truth, go to the Golden Snake Palace quickly." ”

I was slightly stunned, and the man had fallen limply to the ground.
