Chapter 158: Three Forces
The overall area of the living quarters from No. 5 to No. 9 is very large.
In the early years, the mine demons used the discovery of a large number of heartstones.
On several occasions, a large number of laborers were mobilized from the Feather Arrow Sect and the Imperial Beast Sect on a large scale.
The living quarters have also been expanded several times on the basis of the original.
Because of the anomaly in the mine tonight, these people are all gathering towards the No. 5 living area at this time.
After Fang Long's order was given, everyone panicked.
They must return to their homes within the allotted time or risk their lives.
Air...
Fang Long's men were constantly scanning the area with their senses.
However, their own cultivation was not at the third order of the Transformation Source Realm, and under the glance, there were a large number of blind spots that could not be explored.
These blind spots, which cannot be detected by perception, are the responsibility of the Immortal Sect disciples in the No. 5 living area.
Now Li Yi'an's identity is a disciple of the Feather Arrow Sect.
He also pretended to take out the repeating crossbow, but his purpose was not to maintain order, but to leave the living quarters while there was chaos.
It didn't take long for him to avoid the perception of the three people in the air, and with the help of the panicked crowd around him, he left the No. 5 living area...
In the next second, he added speed to his body, his legs exerted force, three steps and one step, and moved towards the mining area at a low altitude and high speed.
...
At the same time, near the edge of the third living quarter...
Chen Hao lay on his back covered in blood, panting violently in a hidden hollow.
"Damn it, fuck your uncle!"
With great difficulty, he took some powder from the spatial ring and applied it to himself, and bandaged the wounds on his body briefly.
Although life and death are the norm in this mine, Chen Hao still can't believe that the first person to do it to him will actually be Zhang Hu, who he trusts the most!
The two have gone through ups and downs together for 20 years, and for Chen Hao, Zhang Hu is the only brother he can entrust to his back in the mine.
It was precisely out of trust in Zhang Hu that he agreed to take over the task of escorting prisoners with him.
If it were someone else, he would never agree to go with him.
This is his trust in Zhang Hu, and this trust is now exchanged for betrayal.
"Bastard... Why!"
"Fuck your uncle's Zhang Hu, I trust you so much, treat you as a brother, you actually want to kill me!
"I treat you as a brother, you actually sell me, sell me !!"
Chen Hao scolded angrily in his heart, he was not young, and he had experienced a lot of things.
can survive any wind and waves, but now the tears are flowing uncontrollably.
Although he doesn't have Zhang Hu's brain as fast as Zhang Hu, this doesn't mean that he is stupid.
Regarding Zhang Hu's betrayal, Miao Dongqing's subordinates appeared premeditated, and Zhang Ling's inaction.
He'd guessed part of the truth about it.
That's why he couldn't help but cry...
...
Tonight, Zhang Hu attacked Chen Hao.
Miao Dongqing's men also set up ambushes on both sides of the road and attacked and killed.
Zhang Ling really doesn't know?
The distance between the scene of the incident and Zhang Ling's courtyard was not very far.
Zhang Ling's cultivation is the strongest under the mine insiders.
How could he not know what was happening outside the courtyard?
But he didn't stop it, and he didn't come out to help immediately afterwards.
Such abnormal behavior can only say one thing.
Zhang Ling knew about this matter, and it may even be planned by Zhang Ling!
However, did Zhang Ling plan all this just to kill Chen Hao?
In the mine, the person Zhang Ling wanted to kill the most was not him Chen Hao, but Miao Dongqing.
Is there a connection between killing Chen Hao and killing Miao Dongqing?
Some!
Because Zhang Ling wanted a reason to start a war with Miao Dongqing, he needed an opportunity.
Now that the walker is not in the mine, this is the opportunity.
However, it is not enough to have an opportunity, and someone needs to push it secretly.
Who's going to push it? How?
It's very simple, let Miao Dongqing's men assassinate Chen Hao, a member of the escort team!
It made people think that Miao Dongqing made the first move, and he Zhang Ling was just fighting back.
Zhang Ling's plan, Zhang Hu's fueling the fire, and he, Chen Hao, was a victim of the development of this whole thing.
At this point, it was not difficult to guess the forces to which the two Feather Arrow Sect disciples belonged.
Although they do things for Miao Dongqing, they are actually Zhang Ling's people!
As for when Zhang Hu decided to attack him.
What kind of transaction was between Zhang Hu and Zhang Ling, Chen Hao didn't know anything.
But it was this ignorance that made him feel cold and sad...
Therefore, when he was about to flee for his life, he ran in the direction of Miao Dongqing's forces.
Once an enemy, now it has become his only lifeline.
But it backfired, and he was injured, although it was not serious, but it became a burden for him to flee.
After the route to Miao Dongqing was blocked, he considered escaping to the No. 4 living quarter.
But on second thought, the situation in Living Area 4 is more complicated.
Most of the people living there were cultivators of the Transformation Source Realm of the three major forces.
When the incident happens tonight, Zhang Ling's subordinates will inevitably be on guard.
It is also impossible to escape to Living Area 2, because it means that he needs to cross Living Area 3.
The No. 2 living area could not be reached at all, and the No. 4 living area could not be reached, so in desperation, he could only flee horizontally.
It wasn't until Zhang Ling and Miao Dongqing went to war completely, when both sides couldn't care about him, that he would gain temporary safety.
Soon, the battle broke out as scheduled!
Although Chen Hao survived temporarily, his survival problem was still not solved.
Because no matter who wins or loses between Zhang Ling and Miao Dongqing tonight, he will die!
As for the neutral forces to which Lin Chong belongs.
They will not take sides at such a critical moment, unless the situation is clear.
The forces in the mine can't help, and they can't leave the mine.
If he wants to live, he can only continue to find a way in the mine.
In the next second, he thought of a place, a forbidden place!
The forbidden land has living area No. 1, living area No. 2, and tunnel zero.
The No. 1 and No. 2 living quarters, mainly where the walkers were, did not dare to trespass.
The only thing left to hide is Tunnel Zero.
Although there is Zhang Ling's supervision team there.
But tonight, Zhang Ling and Miao Dongqing will have a decisive battle, and Zhang Ling has a high probability of transferring the supervision team back to participate in the battle.
As long as Chen Hao found a way to enter Tunnel Zero, relying on the intricate terrain inside and avoiding the depths of the main road, he would have a chance to survive.
...
And not long after Chen Hao was attacked by Zhang Hu and fled, the gate of Zhang Ling's courtyard slowly opened.
As Chen Hao guessed, the plan was indeed formulated by Zhang Ling.
Behind him, there were dozens of Transformation Realm cultivators, and he had long been prepared for what had happened tonight.
As for Chen Hao, does it matter?
It doesn't matter, because that's what the plan is.
Zhang Hu hit Chen Hao hard, but he did not kill Chen Hao, just to let Chen Hao escape with his life.
And those two Feather Arrow Sect disciples will 'cooperate' with Chen Hao and stage a battle royale for everyone to see.
It's just that Zhang Hu moved his compassion at the same time as he started, which made it more difficult to hunt and kill.
Of course, the situation is still under Zhang Ling's control.
What if Chen Hao ran to the door of Miao Dongqing's courtyard and informed Zhang Ling of his plan?
Although the plan deviated, it didn't matter whether Miao Dongqing believed it or not.
As long as other people in the mine think that Miao Dongqing made the first move.
When the situation stabilizes, it will be better to deal with it.
Zhang Ling stepped out of the courtyard and said to Zhang Hu: "Zhang Hu, Chen Hao handle it cleanly, don't let me down!"
Before Zhang Hu could speak, Zhang Ling had already taken the dozens of Immortal Sect cultivators of the Transformation Source Realm to set off in the direction of Miao Dongqing.
...
At this time, near the entrance of Tunnel Zero...
There were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, all members of the supervision team.
In terms of quantity, Zhang Ling did transfer most of the members of the supervision team from it for tonight's plan.
The cultivation of these remaining members of the supervision team is around the first to second order.
Of course, without exception, they have all been turned into corpses.
The back of the head, the temples, the spine, these vital parts were pierced by sharp arrows, and there were not many wounds, but they were fatal everywhere.
If you look at the penetration distance of the arrows up close, you can see that they are all caused by attacks and kills at close range.
The person who did it was carrying the bodies of the people of the supervision team at the moment, dragging them into a branch of Tunnel Zero.
Soon after, the group processed the remaining traces at the entrance of the tunnel and entered the tunnel, leaving only two people to guard the outside of the tunnel.
...
"Tut-tut, Lin Chong, Lin Chong, you're really not a thing!"
Li Yi'an had been watching from a distance for a long time, and after he left, he used the speed word trick to speed up here, during which he couldn't hide it, and he had already killed a few people who were in the way.
He doesn't care, anyway, everyone in this mine can be killed, and tonight is destined to be a night of bloodshed, who cares about the life and death of these people...
And Li Yi'an also witnessed the scene of this group killing the supervision team before.
They took advantage of the darkness of the night to pretend to be Zhang Ling's subordinates and ordered the members of the supervision team to go to the No. 3 living area to support.
However, at the very moment when the overseers turned around, they took out their crossbow arrows and shot them at close range.
The whole process only takes about ten seconds, clean and neat, without the slightest mud and water...
The blood pupil also saw the previous scene, and urged Li Yi'an excitedly.
"Master, do you, do you?"
Li Yi'an looked at the eager blood pupils and felt helpless, this girl really likes to do things.
"Wait a minute, what are you in a hurry!"
Li Yi'an pursed his lips, and the treacherous mask on his face changed rapidly.
Soon, Fang Long's face gradually took shape.
The reason why he didn't pretend to be Lin Chong was because Lin Chong was a disciple of the Royal Beast Sect, while Fang Long was a disciple of the Feather Arrow Sect.
As for Fang Long's face, although he had only seen it once, Fan Bo had Fang Long in his memory, and that was enough.
After a while, his body gradually began to change, and he was a little taller than the original Fan Bo.
After doing all this, Li Yi'an's cultivation began to slowly improve, and he flew towards the entrance of Tunnel Zero.
...
The Immortal Sect disciples left at the entrance of the tunnel were a little surprised to see Li Yi'an coming from the sky.
"Senior Brother Fang, according to the plan, shouldn't you maintain order in the No. 5 living area now?"
Li Yi'an didn't answer, and after landing on the ground, he strode towards the two.
Another Immortal Sect disciple frowned and asked, "Senior Brother Fang, why didn't you see Senior Brother Lin?"
This Immortal Sect disciple's level of alertness was obviously much higher than the other, and his right hand was already holding the repeating crossbow behind him.
Li Yi'an said with a smile: "Senior Brother Lin is still in the No. 5 living area, in order to prevent accidents in the plan, so I will come over and take a look first." ”
Li Yi'an suddenly threw the blood pupil in his sleeve towards the vigilant Immortal Sect disciple.
"Take it, this is what Senior Brother Lin asked me to bring to you. ”
As the words fell, a repeating crossbow appeared in his hand.
True Yuan was infused into it, and the crossbow arrows composed entirely of True Yuan shot wildly, directly shooting another Immortal Sect disciple into a hedgehog.
The disciples of the Immortal Sect, who had been more alert before, were stunned and motionless at this time.
Because the moment he reached out to catch the blood pupil, the blood pupil had already opened his eyes at the sword nose, causing him to fall into an illusion.
The size of the Blood Pupil's sword body would not affect the use of her skills in the slightest.
At this time, the blood pupil had already begun to read the memories of this Immortal Sect disciple...
And Li Yi'an once again controlled the treacherous mask, and became the disciple of the Immortal Sect who was falling into the illusion at the moment.
After a while, Li Yi'an's voice of blood pupils came from his mind.
"The memory is finished, master~"
Li Yi'an nodded, and the blood pupil returned to its original size under his control.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed the hilt of the sword, and at the moment when the Immortal Sect disciple regained his senses, he slashed!
After putting the two corpses into the spatial ring, he turned the blood pupil into a palm-sized and hid it in his sleeve.
Armed with a repeating crossbow, he strode into Tunnel Zero.
The blood pupil began to tell Li Yi'an about the memories she had obtained...
After Li Yi'an entered Tunnel Zero, he listened to the description of the blood pupil while carefully probing, and did not immediately go to the depths.
He was waiting for someone, waiting for the Lin Chong brothers and Fang Long to appear.
Since they dared to take the opportunity to come to Tunnel Zero.
Then they must have a lot of information about Tunnel Zero.
Instead of starting to explore alone, you can 'go with them' and get more information.
Soon after, the blood pupil will share the identity information of the previous disciple of the Immortal Sect.
I have said a lot about what happened tonight and the purpose of this trip.
"Master, this Zhang Hu, very high~"
"Hi?", Li Yi'an muttered, I think you're quite high.
"Harm, no, slip of the tongue, this Zhang Hu is very bad..."
Zhang Hu?
Li Yi'an was puzzled...
Zhang Hu left only one influence on him, and he was good at winning people's hearts.
But this is one-sided, after all, he doesn't spend much time with Zhang Hu.
The same is true of Fan Bo's memory, so it is not possible to make a comprehensive judgment for the time being.
If you want to say bad, there is indeed a candidate in his heart at present, Lin Chong!
Is there such a neutral force as you?
It's clearly taking advantage of the fire to rob!
You must know that Tunnel Zero was closed at the request of the pedestrians and was under the jurisdiction of Zhang Ling's forces.
If Lin Chong and Fang Long really made something out of it, it would be Zhang Ling who was unlucky.
Could it be that there is something else going on tonight?
Blood Pupil continued: "Master, the disturbance in the No. 3 living area tonight was caused by the war between Zhang Ling and Miao Dongqing. ”
Li Yi'an was not very surprised by this, he had already guessed some information.
"Well, I've already guessed this, there is a large-scale battle in the No. 3 living area, and there are no other forces except Zhang Ling and Miao Dongqing. ”
Suddenly, Li Yi'an thought of something, "Blood Pupil, you don't want to say that Zhang Ling and Miao Dongqing went to war because of Zhang Hu, right?"
"Well, it's indeed Zhang Hu", the blood pupil nodded in the space of the sword body, looking old-fashioned.
"Zhang Hu received a message from Zhang Ling shortly after entering the mine, and it was a good opportunity for the walker to leave the mine. ”
Zhang Ling wanted to take this opportunity to make a move on Miao Dongqing. ”
But Zhang Hu needs to cooperate with him and make a play for everyone to see. ”
"Drama?", Li Yi'an became interested, this Zhang Hu is still a little interesting.
Blood Pupil continued: "Well, Zhang Ling has his own eyeliner next to Miao Dongqing. ”
"Tonight he asked Zhang Hu to attack Chen Hao, but not to death. ”
Then let the two undercover agents chase and kill Chen Hao. ”
The impression left is that Miao Dongqing's subordinates chased and killed Chen Hao, which meant to attack Zhang Ling's forces. ”
And Zhang Ling just used this as an excuse to start a war against Miao Dongqing and counterattack. ”
The blood pupil paused and continued: "Come to think of it, this Chen Hao is estimated to be dead now..."
When Li Yi'an heard this, his expression was slightly stunned.
He originally thought that Lin Chong was conveying some obscure information to Zhang Ling through Zhang Hu and Chen Hao in the tavern.
Who would have thought that Zhang Hu himself was a participant in this incident, and even participated in the planning, rather than just passing on information.
Sure enough, there are few good people in this mine, and a big-hearted existence like Liu Min really doesn't know how he survived until now...
"What about the price? Zhang Hu and Chen Hao have been friends for many years, let Zhang Hu betray Chen Hao, what can he get from Zhang Ling?"
After thinking for a while, the blood pupil said, "It should be the Spirit Void Pill, or the Pill of the Spirit Void Pill." ”
She then said: "Of course, this is just my conjecture, to be precise, it is the conjecture of Lin Chong's forces on Zhang Ling. ”
"Zhang Ling had the idea of leaving the mine a long time ago. ”
But bound by the second volume of the Demon Mind Method, he must solve the problem of hunger. ”
"Although this feeling can be suppressed by the Spirit Void Pill, the supply of the Spirit Void Pill is stipulated in the mine and can be exchanged in limited quantities every month. ”
"It is extremely unrealistic to leave the mine for a long time, even if you reduce the amount of daily consumption. ”
"Because there is also a premise for the limited supply, which is to supply the Spirit Void Pill in limited quantities according to the current cultivation. ”
Li Yi'an nodded, it was obvious that the mine had thought of this problem when it set up contribution points and provided Lingxu Pills.
If everyone has some elixir, then they can temporarily escape the control of the mine and seek other help when they are involved in escort or material transportation tasks.
Nowadays, the higher the realm, the stronger the hunger pang, and if you limit the monthly exchange amount of the Spirit Void Pill according to your cultivation, you can indeed prevent such incidents from happening.
"So, the condition given by Zhang Ling is that after the matter is completed, Zhang Hu will be given a large amount of Spirit Void Pill?", Li Yi'an thought for a while, but felt that something was wrong.
The sword body trembled slightly, and made a shaking motion in Li Yi'an's sleeve.
"No, Lin Chong guessed that Zhang Hu's purpose was the pill of the Spirit Void Pill. ”
Li Yi'an suddenly realized that if he wanted to leave the mine and live outside for a long time, it was far from enough to prepare a large number of Spirit Void Pills.
Only by mastering the Danfang is the basis for surviving outside the mine, even if you are not an alchemist, you can find other alchemists to help.
But the drawbacks of this approach are also obvious.
Although he can stay outside the mine for several years, he must give up his cultivation and slow down the impact of the void on himself.
Otherwise, as the cultivation grows, the hunger will get stronger and stronger, and sooner or later one day you will still fall into a state of madness.
Blood Pupil continued, "Hmm... How to say it, Zhang Huming is a member of Zhang Ling's forces on the surface, but in fact, he is also doing things for Lin Chong. ”
"Tunnel Zero, after being blocked by the pedestrians, Lin Chong and the others yearn for the secrets of Tunnel Zero even more. ”
Zhang Ling, who is in charge of the mining area, has a lot of information about Tunnel Zero. ”
It was through Zhang Hu that Lin Chong continued to collect this information to prepare for today's tunnel. ”
...
Li Yi'an smacked his tongue secretly, "What are the benefits that Lin Chong and the others promised to give?"
Blood Pupil thought about this question for a while before saying, "It seems to help Zhang Hu solve his hunger!"
"What?" Li Yi'an was taken aback.
The vocabulary used by the Blood Pupil is to solve, not suppress!
"Are you saying that Lin Chong and them have someone in the Demon Heart Law Book?"
Blood Pupil's reply this time was quick, "No, it's not." ”
She continued, "Lin Chong believes that there is something in this Tunnel Zero, and it is related to the strength of the human demon. ”
"They guess that there is a human demon inheritance in this. ”
So they gave Zhang Hu a promise to solve his hunger. ”
"Inheritance?", Li Yi'an was puzzled, he didn't understand why Lin Chong and the others thought so.
Blood Pupil continued, "Because a few years ago, there was an accident in Tunnel Zero. ”
"At that time, deep in the main tunnel tunnel, there was a huge energy fluctuation coming out. ”
"That incident caused Tunnel Zero to collapse to a certain extent, and several Immortal Sect disciples and prisoners were buried. ”
"In the end, although there were not many casualties among the disciples of the Immortal Sect, one disciple was missing. ”
"The strange thing is that when this disciple reappears in front of everyone again, his strength has become incomparably stronger..."
"Judging from this person's memory, this Immortal Sect disciple now has another identity, Walker!"
Li Yi'an frowned.
Is there a human demon inheritance here?
How could there be!
For the demons, the Twilight Glacier is more like a prison!
Zixiao once said that there are a large number of human demons suppressed under the twilight glacier!
Now that they have become prisoners, where will they have any leisure to leave behind any inheritance.
However, according to the description of the blood pupil, he thought of a person, Chu Keren.
Chu Keren's physical body is a disciple of the Immortal Sect, but its actual controller is a mysterious existence.
According to Li Yi'an's words, that is a deahuman!
Centaurs, more difficult to deal with than those monsters in the woods.
If you encounter it head-on, there is almost no chance of escape.
...
Li Yi'an felt a little big, what the hell, this can't really be the lair of this group of people and demons, right?
By the way, the Tibetan Sword River, the cave on the cliff wall at the bottom of the water!
Li Yi'an thought of the cave he encountered under the Tibetan Sword River.
Zixiao said that if you accidentally enter that cave, you will most likely be rushed in the direction of humans and demons.
Don't...
This tunnel, like the underwater cavern, leads to the place where the humans and demons are sealed?
Li Yixin had a bad idea.
He looked into the depths of the tunnel, the hairs on his back standing upside down.
It's very likely, but if it does, it will undoubtedly make things tricky today.
