Chapter 109: The Mysterious Tunnel

Ji Ao retracted his hanging appearance, and approached the light almost silently.

This is a relatively spacious "hall" in the tunnel, an unextinguished torch is thrown on the floor of the hall, everything inside is blurred by the flickering firelight, and the walls of the "hall" are full of traces of knives, swords, axes, and guns, and there are falling dirt and white paper everywhere.

Ji Ao picked up the nearest piece of paper beside him, and cut it into a simple human shape, with strange runes written in cinnabar red letters.

"Jin Hotaru, Jin Hotar!" Ji Ao threw the paper figure on the ground and shouted into the tomb, "Are you okay?"

The empty graveyard reverberated only his echo.

Ji Ao stomped his feet anxiously, it must be a human mage who uses this kind of paper figure to do it, Jin Hotaru is a simple-minded guy, if he faces a cunning and deceitful human being, he will suffer.

Ji Ao didn't think about it so much, he immediately fell on all fours, changed back to his original form, he turned into a half-tiger half-dog monster, and ran all the way along the tomb road.

Running all the way, traces of the fight can be seen everywhere.

Ji Ao had personally fought with Jin Ying, and had teamed up with him to deal with Qi Qi, and he was very familiar with Jin Ying's combat methods, and he clearly distinguished which traces of the battle were left by Jin Ying, and those that were not, judging from these traces alone, even if Jin Ying was not at a disadvantage, he would never be able to bargain.

Ji Ao knew that Jin Ying's nature and original form were destined for him to only be good at defending and clumsy, Suzaku "Yan'er" has always been his "talisman", if there is Yan'er, plus Jin Ying's own ability to deal with most opponents should be no problem.

But Yan'er had already traveled with the nine-tailed fox, and Jin Ying was fighting her opponent alone.

"Jin Ying! Jin Ying!" Ji Ao called Jin Ying's name a few more times when he heard the sound of weapons clashing in front of him, wanting his opponent to know that Jin Ying had come to help and was afraid. Sure enough, as soon as his voice passed, silence returned to the front as soon as his voice was heard.

Ji Ao flew and plunged into the dirt like lightning in an instant, completely hiding his form and moving forward quickly, just by the smell of the air he could be sure that Jin Hotaru's opponent must be a human mage.

In his lifetime, Ji Ao had fought with human mages many times in the past nine hundred years, and he knew that this kind of character was very cunning and difficult, and he couldn't help but raise his vigilance.

"But......" he licked his lips as he ran, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, "these people are generally delicious!"

Through the dirt, Ji Ao finally saw Jin Hotaru and his opponent, this is another "hall", Jin Hotaru has already appeared in his original state at this time, he turned into a black figure, standing with his back against the wall.

In the center of the hall, several samurai in the form of paper figures, dressed in shining armor, armed with broadswords and halberds, are wrestling with the shadows formed by flickering torches, and the golden firefly gazes over the "battlefield" and stares at his opponent.

The man was on the other side, also clinging to the wall, because he had heard Ji Ao's voice calling "Jin Hopitula" beforehand, so he had to watch out for both Jin Hotaru and the surrounding passages. It was hard to see him in the flickering light of the fire, but he felt like a young man.

"For his age, being able to cast such a spell is quite devastating, but ...... It's so stupid to stick your back against the wall......" Ji Ao thought to himself.

Ji Ao muttered to himself like an old man, and suddenly stretched out his claws to the mage: "Today's human mages almost have no experience in fighting monsters, I want to ...... back then."

Ji Ao suddenly appeared from the wall, but he didn't expect this human mage's movements to be surprisingly agile, and at the critical moment, he rolled on the spot, and actually dodged Ji Ao's fatal blow, only to be cut through his clothes by his claws.

"It's a youkai again. He got up from the ground and patted the dust off his body. With a wave of his hand, he threw out several spiritual runes, and immediately, several samurai made of paper figures appeared in the narrow hole and approached Ji Ao.

Ji Ao jumped over the heads of those warriors and landed silently beside Jin Hotaru and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you okay?" Jin Hotaru shook his head.

Ji Ao and Jin Ying dealt with the enemy back-to-back, and couldn't help but complain in their mouths: "You should have discussed it with me before you came to do this kind of thing! Anyway, I have lived four hundred years longer than you." I'm more experienced than you after all!"

"But I can't find you these days. ”

"Ah......" Ji Ao remembered that he had been fooling around with women for the past few days, and he had indeed not contacted Jin Ying. He grabbed a halberd stabbed by the samurai, took advantage of the situation, took the opportunity to pull the samurai to his side, and with a wave of his claws, he cut off his head, and the samurai immediately turned into a paper figure and fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry. He turned his head to look at Jin Hotaru, who was fighting seriously, and asked in a low voice, "How did you find here?"

Jin Hotaru held the long knife made of her shadow in her hand and slashed down an opponent, and then stretched out her arm, and the shadow knife immediately turned into countless flying knives, shooting towards the human mage, and he asked Ji Ao as he asked.

"I saw the newspaper on your desk......"

Before they could finish speaking, the human mage who had dodged the Golden Firefly Flying Knife quickly scattered six or seven more paper warriors.

Ji Ao tore up two opponents in a row, and asked Jin Ying puzzled: "What is the origin of this human mage, why is he so entangled?

"I don't know where he suddenly came from, as soon as he saw me, he shouted and shouted to kill!" Jin Ying's tone was a little angry, "I don't know him at all." ”

He probably thought that fighting without any reason was unthinkable, and it might take a long time to learn and understand.

"If you are not of my race, your heart will be different" Sometimes this is the reason why human beings kill people.

"Die, demon!" the human mage shouted, throwing out several puppets. The puppets landed on the ground and immediately turned into several samurai who were taller and stronger than the paper warriors.

Moreover, this kind of doll is much stronger than that made of paper, Ji Ao's sharp claws grabbed it, only scraping off a lot of sawdust, and the shadow of the golden firefly could only blow a "dong dong" sound, and could only form a knife mark that was not deep.

"Damn humans!" Ji Ao was almost hit by a puppet, and couldn't help but curse angrily, "Jin Ying, we should also use real kung fu and show real skills, so as not to be underestimated by humans." ”

He jumped to his feet and immediately disappeared into the dirt on the top of the cave. At the same time, the figure of the golden firefly also went from existence to nothing, and I don't know where it dissipated.

The human mage was engrossed in the talisman, paying close attention to his surroundings, and he knew from which shadow the snarls and the vines would suddenly appear.

He has been cultivating with his grandfather since he was a child, and he has picked up countless monsters for decades, but the manjin moss and the mandarin he met today are indeed not idle people, and he can't help but cheer up the spirit.

"Hurry!" the mage shouted, and a spirit rune shot out of the dirt beneath his feet, and with a howl, Han Zhu rolled out of the soil with a scream, his fur was roasted by the spirit rune attached to his body, making a "sizzling" sound, and rolling on the ground in pain.

The mage sent out another spiritual rune, and the sling was nailed to the ground, and he howled and convulsed even the company commander, but he could no longer move. The mage's vigilance did not diminish at this moment, and then he looked around and began to search for the golden moss that was hiding somewhere.
