Chapter 363: Dead River
Su Liqing knew his strength, and he knew that the cave where the Stone Man Clan was hiding would be discovered sooner or later. is the so-called cunning rabbit three caves, since he knows the existence of danger, how can he not leave a few more ways for the stone people to retreat?
After all, the Stone People who have lived here for generations, their knowledge of the Outer Realm is not comparable to that of those foreign invaders, and it is easy for them to find a few hidden hiding places. Su Liqing hid some things needed for life in these places, so that one day when he really arrived here, the life of the Shiren clan could get on track as soon as possible.
Su Liqing led them to a clearing. I don't know what this place has been through, it is surrounded by lush greenery, but there is no grass in the space of about an acre of land in the middle. Those trees and weeds surrounded the city in a circle, enclosing this clearing in the middle, if it weren't for Su Liqing digging a passage from the ground, it would not be easy to get in here through the woods. This is simply a natural hideaway for the stone people, and it is much stronger than the previous cave.
Obviously, this isn't the first time the Stone People have done these things. They worked together, some set up tents, some set up fires for cooking, everything was in order, and soon a temporary base area was built in good shape. The most difficult thing to say here is probably the setting up of the mechanism. Su Liqing and a few small stone figures squatted on the ground to study the object in their hands, and a small stone figure held the structure diagram and frowned tightly - it had been an hour, and they still didn't understand how this thing was used.
"Brother Su, otherwise, let's not use this! Grandpa, they haven't moved for decades, which means they haven't figured it out. Maybe the mechanism in here is already old, and it might as well be as good as the fire oil and poison we sprinkled ourselves!"
Su Liqing looked up at Thursday, "Are you sure we can still run by sprinkling the oil on our own?" Like today, when the mechanism at the entrance of the cave was opened, they had already fled the other way. It's an empty space, and if they really want to sprinkle fire oil, they must sprinkle it in the outermost circle, and when the fire burns, they can only wait for death in the middle of the fire.
"Fire oil can't be used!" said another stone man with a bit of brains, "fire is not certain, if the enemy does not come, and as a result we cook our own sparks splash on it, will we all be burned in vain?"
This doesn't work, that doesn't work, a few stone figures sighed together, squatted on the ground and looked at the small wooden box in the middle.
Murong Lingfeng walked over from these people, walked over again, and glanced at this side as if he was inadvertent, but he didn't say anything. This time, even the few little stone people who were squatting couldn't stand it, and they gave Su Liqing a look, "Brother Su, the little boy has something to look for you, why don't you go over first." ”
Su Liqing thought about it and picked up the small wooden box on the ground and walked towards Murong Lingfeng, he handed the small wooden box to Murong Lingfeng, "Do you know how to use this?"
"How could I know, I'm not Yun Mo!" Murong Lingfeng immediately denied it, if it was the elixir poison that was similar to her, this kind of dangerous thing would only be of interest to the two smart and cunning people of Yun Mo and Xue'er.
Speaking of Yun Mo, Murong Lingfeng was a little sad again, she tilted her head and blinked, and took back her tears.
Li Sheng walked over from behind her, touched her head, and comforted the little boy silently, he glanced at the box in Su Liqing's hand, and frowned slightly, "Can you show me?"
Su Liqing is not very familiar with Lisheng, and even has some fearful resistance. But I have to say that he has long been impressed by the power that Lisheng has shown in front of him again and again. Even if he doesn't like it, he understands from the bottom of his heart how powerful Lisheng is.
Su Liqing handed the box into Lisheng's hand and looked at him with some hopeful eyes, "Do you know how to use this?"
Murong Lingfeng was full of suspicion, she knew that Lisheng was not a master of organs, but he had lived a long time, and he might not have seen him anywhere. She approached Lisheng and whispered to him, "Is this what you were back then?"
Li Sheng didn't answer, but pinched the two corners of the box and put it up, and after a few more tinkering from both sides, the box was actually opened by him. However, there was no mechanism, and what was hidden inside the box was a golden egg.
Xiao Gongzi and Su Liqing were both at a loss, "What is this egg for?"
Li Sheng smiled knowingly, "It turns out that it was left behind in the Stone Man Clan." He re-cloned the box and stuffed it directly into Murong Lingfeng's Sea Spirit, without any intention of returning it to Su Liqing.
Seeing this, Su Liqing was about to ask him for it, and opened his mouth one step ahead of Sheng, "This thing is not an organ, it can't help you." If you want to protect this place, I can help you. As he spoke, a magic seal was formed in Lisheng's hand, and the light spread out from Lisheng's feet, spreading out in a circle. "As long as I live, no one will be able to enter this place except for the Stone Clan!" Li Sheng said domineeringly, tilting his head.
Su Liqing pursed his lips and squeezed out the word "thank you" for a long time. He was really grateful to Lisheng for what he had done for the Shiren Clan, but that didn't change the fact that Lisheng had killed his brother.
"Sheng Sheng has done you such a big favor, how can you just say thank you?" The little boy's eyes rolled and he was ready to take advantage of the fire to rob.
Su Liqing looked around, "Then what do you want?" The Stone Man Clan has reached the end of the road, he really doesn't know what else he can do now, besides, "Didn't you already take that golden egg?"
Murong Lingfeng shook his index finger meaningfully, "Non-yes, non-yes." That egg was originally my family's Shengsheng, but it was temporarily stored in the Shiren Clan. Sheng Sheng took back his things, how can it be regarded as a thank you gift?" Actually, the little boy has never seen the golden egg, let alone heard Li Sheng mention it, but he is just deceiving the honest and honest Su Liqing. She patted Su Liqing on the shoulder and told him to relax, "However, we won't embarrass you, we just want to know about the Dead River." ”
said that it was not embarrassing, but when he heard the dead river, Su Liqing still frowned, "Childe, it's not that I don't want to say it, I really don't know." Su Liqing sighed, "There are two magical rivers in the Outer Realm, a mother river and a dead river. The mother river is the treasure river of the stone people and the source of our life. The River of Death, on the other hand, is a symbol of disaster and death. The Dead River hides deep underground and is difficult to spot, but many people who approach it will be so confused by it that they fall into the river with no bones left. I heard the old people say that the monster that sleeps and eats people at the bottom of the river, and whoever wakes it up will be devoured by it! So, we are very lucky to be able to come back alive from the dead river! You must not think about anything else!" Su Liqing said solemnly.
As soon as the river demon said it, the little boy naturally didn't believe it, but when he thought of the sapphire of that river, how many people could not be moved? "Could it be that we also fell for the illusion of the river demon and were confused by it?"
Li Sheng raised his eyebrows disappreciatively, "The person on the Zhantian Continent who can confuse me has not yet been born! There must be something at the bottom of the river, there must be something!" Something flashed through his mind, but he couldn't remember it for a while. "Let's take a look. Li Sheng leaned close to Murong Lingfeng's ear and said.
Su Liqing didn't call the little stone people away, and he didn't have time to take care of them. Murong Lingfeng looked at the busy Shiren Clan, pulled Lisheng and prepared to slip away quietly.
As soon as he took two steps, the little boy's arm was grabbed. "Where are you going?" asked Su Liqing with a frown.
Murong Lingfeng coughed lightly twice in embarrassment, "What, it's nothing to do with me, I'll go out with Lisheng for a stroll, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Outer Realm, stretch my mood, and cultivate my sentiments!"
Su Liqing looked at her strangely, "Where is there any great scenery in the outer realm now?" He has always been honest, he believed what the little boy said, and he didn't have doubts, but, "It's just right, I want to go and find out the movements of those demons, son, come with me!"
Although he agreed to help, for Murong Lingfeng, the Dead River was much more tempting than the matter of the Stone Man Clan. She subconsciously shook her head, "Go by yourself, I'm not interested in those conspiracy villains." She was afraid that her statement was too thin, so she tugged at Sheng's sleeve, "Shengsheng, do you also want to go to the Outer Heaven to have a look? Let's go!"
Lisheng didn't move his feet, and pulled the little boy back again, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with him to take a look, right, baby?"
Even Xuan Yi pushed her head against her, "You have to do what you promised others, and only by knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can you not be defeated." ”
Murong Lingfeng pouted and walked side by side with Lisheng and Xuanyi, she couldn't understand how these two could defect on the spot?" "It's a rare opportunity for you to waste it so much, when will we go to the Dead River again?"
"The Dead River is there, and you can't run away, why are you in a hurry?" Li Sheng had his own opinion, "It's these invaders, we don't know their purpose, let alone their strength. Don't forget, you came to the Outer Heaven Realm not only to find the way to heaven, but also to Shangguan Mingchu's life!"
Thinking of the kidnapped Shangguan in the early Ming Dynasty, the little boy's unwillingness was let go little by little. She slowly tightened her fists, "Master must let Shangguan Diansheng pay for his blood debts!"
The whereabouts of the intruders were erratic, and Su Liqing searched for months but failed to get out of their lair. When he told the situation, he was unexpectedly met with the eyes of the little prince, "The Stone Man Clan is in your hands, and the future is really worrying!" Murong Lingfeng seriously doubted that this stupid person could keep the Stone Man Clan for a few months, and it was definitely a shit luck, "Since the Heaven Immortal Stone Man Clan, I suggest that you still look forward to the appearance of the real king!"
Su Liqing was blushed by Murong Lingfeng's words, "If there is really someone who can save the Shiren Clan from fire and water, I, Su Liqing, am willing to serve him as the king!"
Murong Lingfeng nodded, stupid is a little stupid, but honesty can be regarded as an advantage. "So what now? You don't even know where people are, how do you find out what's going on?"
Su Liqing looked at them with some difficulty, can he say that he doesn't know?
"Why don't we go to the cave before us? Li Sheng proposed, "First, they have appeared there before, maybe they will leave some clues, and second, we can also look in the cave to see if there are any remaining utensils, the stone people are lacking in everything now, and they can pick them up!"
Su Liqing also felt that this proposal was very good, and couldn't help but feel a little more respect for Lisheng, "I know which direction the cave is, I'll take you there!"
The three of them and one tiger quietly touched the side of the cave, Xuan Yi went out for a spin first, and then came back and shook his head at them, "There is no one here anymore, only a few wisps of residual breath remain, it should be not long after leaving, I don't know if they will come back." ”
Li Sheng raised his chin, "Let's go, go over and take a look." It would be better if they came back, and we would have taken a prisoner back!"
When Su Liqing was making the mechanism, he not only sprinkled fire oil but also buried a large amount of explosives, so the cave was also blown up beyond recognition.
Su Liqing looked at the scorched earth and gravel at the entrance of the cave, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad when he didn't know which were the stones that had collapsed from the cave and which were the remains of the sad stone people. "When will the doom of the stone people be the end?!"
Murong Lingfeng knew the pain of life and death, she patted Su Liqing on the shoulder, "Compared to living like a walking corpse and being at the mercy of others, I think death is a relief for them." Hurting their dearest and most loved people, even if it is not their own intention, their hearts are bleeding. ”
It was originally a comforting word, but looking at Su Liqing's face seemed to be even more painful.
As they spoke, Xuan Yi had already carved out a gap and was the first to get in.
The little boy took out a night pearl and hung it around Xuanyi's neck, illuminating the cave instead of a torch.
The situation inside the cave was not much better than outside the cave, with ruins and sand everywhere. Su Liqing tried to find the place where they had stored the grain before, and dug out a few jars from the sand, most of the jars were cracked or broken, but the food inside was not damaged, which was good news for them.
Suddenly, Xuanyi bowed his body vigilantly and carefully hid, and he motioned for the three of them to look outside the cave, only to see two men in black robes, sneakily approaching here.
Murong Lingfeng hurriedly put away the Night Pearl, and the cave was shrouded in darkness again, with only a few inches of sunlight at the beginning of the cave entrance.
The black-robed men soon reached the entrance of the cave, where they stayed for a while, tilting their heads and looking inside.
"Would you like to go in and have a look?"
"Well, let's go. ”
In the dark, Murong Lingfeng clenched the folding fan in his hand. As soon as the two of them stepped into the cave, she attacked them with lightning speed. The martial arts of the black-robed man were not a problem, and the two of them were stunned in the darkness and dismantled hundreds of moves. The more she beat the little boy, the more she muttered in her heart, where did she seem to have seen this person's kung fu, how could she be so familiar?
When she was shaking her mind, she didn't pay attention, and she was put down and pressed to the ground. A lake-green point of light fell in front of her eyes, particularly conspicuous in the darkness, and Murong Lingfeng exclaimed in shock, "Xue'er!?"
