Chapter 217: The Scourge of Sleep

"Lu Wu, the leader of the Kunlun tribe, ......?!"

Hearing what Mu Jianyun said, Jiang Yao also showed an expression of disbelief on his face.

"You...... Are you sure you're not mistaken??"

"Lu Wu's body is an ancient demon beast with a human face and a tiger body, with a huge size, and it is said that it has nine tiger tails. It looks exactly like the skeleton wreckage in front of you. Mu Jianyun frowned and said in a low voice. "Although I haven't seen Lu Wu's body with my own eyes, there can't be a second demon beast with this kind of skeleton besides him. ”

"But...... If this skeleton is really the remains of Lu Wu, then it is now sitting in the position of the leader of the Kunlun clan...... Who is it!?" Jiang Yao said in surprise.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I don't know, and the Lingyutai side has never heard of Lu Wu's passing. Mu Jianyun shook his head and said. "Since Lu Wu himself almost never shows up to the public, maybe there are some changes within the Kunlun tribe that have not been announced to the public, and this point has to be confirmed with the Lingyutai [Celebrant Department]. But I'm more worried about another possibility......"

Mu Jianyun raised his head and looked at the bones of the demon beast in front of him, the worry in his eyes lingered.

"If the Kunlun tribe doesn't actually know that the leader Lu Wu is dead, and in fact the real Lu Wu has died here, then the 'Lu Wu' who is now leading the Kunlun tribe on the surface may be ...... It is the real murderer behind the murder of Zhen Lu Wu and the usurpation of power!"

"Actually...... There is such a thing?" Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, and said for a while that he didn't know what to say. "However, if a force as big as the Kunlun tribe had a different leader, it should have been discovered a long time ago, right?

"You may not be aware of the situation. Although the factional strife within the Demon God Mansion is serious, since they are all under the name of the Demon God Mansion, the leaders of the various clans themselves will not take action easily, and they are all done by their subordinates. Mu Jianyun explained.

"And the Kunlun tribe is even more special. It is actually a demon joint tribe, and there are many small tribes under it, but Lu Wu, as its leader, does not manage them very much, and spends his days in retreat and practice in Kunlun Mountain, and even the diplomats of our Lingyutai rarely have access to him. ”

"Since Lu Wu rarely appears in the outside world, the possibility of him being 'stolen and replaced' is not zero?" Jiang Yao said in surprise.

"Theoretically, yes. In fact, we also have a headache for Lu Wu not showing up, he turns a blind eye to many things under his hands, and almost lets it go, so there are still many members of the Kunlun tribe who are traitors in his name. It's just that because it hasn't affected human society yet, it's hard for us to say anything, but in the long run, something will inevitably happen. Mu Jianyun said worriedly.

"Indeed...... Even I've heard about the Kunlun tribe's troubles......" Jiang Yao remembered that he had made trouble in the "Baoyan Pavilion", and the monster "Tumo" that was driven out by Bi Fang seemed to be under the Kunlun tribe, and the previous dispute in Changyou Mountain was caused by the Kunlun tribe, and his mood couldn't help but feel a little heavier.

"Unexpected...... We participated in this "ghost market" trial, and we discovered such a big secret. If it weren't for this accident, I'm afraid no one would have thought that Lu Wu's bones would be in a different dimension. When the time comes, as the space collapses, this secret will disappear forever......"

Jiang Yao muttered, but there were still doubts lingering in his heart.

"It's just...... What I can't figure out is, how did this Lu Wu die? What kind of existence can kill a demon beast as powerful as him?"

"This ...... It's hard for me to say. There are many factions within the Demon God Mansion, and there has been constant infighting in the past few hundred years, and there are many things that our Lingyutai can not ask about. Mu Jianyun replied. "But the killing of the leader of the clan is not a trivial matter, it may cause turmoil in the Demon God Mansion and affect the balance of the realm, so you need to return to the Spirit Imperial Platform and report to the leader as soon as possible. ”

Mu Jianyun said, turning his head and looking around anxiously, through the phosphorescent light, he found that in addition to the cave where they came down, there was also a hole opposite the inner wall of the cave, which seemed to lead to other places.

"Let's go, there's no time. The figure from before had probably gone through the hole on the other side, and we had to hold on. ”

"Wait, speaking of which, do you feel that the figure from before disappeared a little abnormally?" Jiang Yao grabbed Mu Jianyun and said in a low voice. "From the hole we came out of to the hole on the opposite rock wall, it was tens of meters, to say the least, and we caught up immediately after we found that the figure had disappeared, and it was impossible for the other party to run to the opposite side so quickly when there was no light source ......at that time, and there was no sound at all."

"You mean...... That figure, maybe it's still lurking in this white bone pit?" Mu Jianyun said solemnly.

"Quite possibly. Jiang Yao nodded and said. "Moreover, since this person is familiar with the environment here, in other words, the other party should have known that the bones of the real Lu Wu are buried here, so the identity of this person is very intriguing......"

"You're right, if that person really had something to do with Lu Wu's death, he would never want outsiders to peek into the secrets here. Could it be ...... this man who brought us here?"

"Boom......!!"

Before Mu Jianyun could finish speaking, a sudden vibration suddenly rushed from all directions! In the collapse sound of "Rata La Rata La", the white bones in the cave were shattered one after another, and even the huge Lu Wu remnants began to appear a slight crack.

"Oops! Could it be that the space is collapsing again!? But the time hasn't come yet...... right."

Jiang Yao and the two felt bad, but the misfortune was that in the roar of the collapse, another ominous "squeak" sound began to come from far and near, from the mouth of the cave when the two came.

The voice...... It's those dried corpses!"

Mu Jianyun reacted immediately, turned his head to look, and sure enough, he found that a lot of scaly brown insects flew out of the mouth of the cave behind him, obviously the stone gate that was blocked before had been shattered in the vibration, and those dry corpses manipulated by these "puppet scale insects" scrambled out of the hole and crawled towards Jiang Yao and Mu Jianyun.

"Damn...... Mu Jianyun gritted his teeth, waved his hand to summon the evil sword, and the giant claw phantom on Jiang Yao's arm also appeared again. But the two of them soon sensed a problem, and they found that this time their embodied weapons only appeared for a moment before disappearing, and then they seemed to be dumbfounded, and they could no longer use half of their mana.

"What's the matter!?, but the evil sword ......" Mu Jianyun was startled, and turned to try to summon the Shishen again, but no matter how he concentrated, the Shishen inscription in his hand never lit up again.

"Something is wrong with this cave...... Our power has been sealed!" Jiang Yao stared nervously at the approaching dried corpses, and reached out to pull out a broken spear from the pile of white bones on the side. "It seems that there is a reason why these demon clan legions have fallen here, we have to get out of this cave area and go back to the top!"

"I can't help it...... Let's go to the hole on the other side!"

Seeing the steady stream of dried corpses coming from the hole they came, Jiang Yao and the two of them, who had no choice, could only turn around and run wildly, stumbling towards the other hole in front of them in the violent shock, which was also the only exit at the moment.

"Tsk, the position of this exit is too high, I'm afraid I'm going to be caught up before I get there. Jiang Yao looked up at the entrance of the cave hanging high on the stone wall of the cave, turned to look at the dry corpse that was crawling closer and closer, and gritted his teeth to protect the spear in front of him. "You have a wound on your foot, go up first, I'll block them below!"

"What are you kidding, the number of those dry corpses is not something you can stop at all!" Mu Jianyun scolded angrily and grabbed Jiang Yao. "Let's go together!"

"Mu Jianyun, it's time like this, don't be reckless, okay?"

"If you want to be stubborn, you are not qualified to say me!"

"You ......"

"Be carefulβ€”β€”!

Just when the two were arguing, the first dried corpse had already roared and pounced in front of the two, Mu Jianyun saw this and hurriedly pushed Jiang Yao away, leaned over and picked up a bronze short knife from the ground, and waved his hand at the neck of the dry corpse in front of him.

"Gala ......"

With the crisp sound of a broken neck bone, the head of the dried corpse suddenly folded back at ninety degrees, and even the body staggered slightly for a moment. Jiang Yao, who reacted, hurriedly cooperated with the spear in his hand and swung it hard towards the abdomen of the dried corpse, and the dried corpse that was provoked by the volley suddenly flew backwards like a cannonball, and hit the group of corpses chasing behind with a "clang", bringing down a piece.

"Now, let's go!"

Jiang Yao said, and hurriedly turned around and pulled Mu Jianyun to run towards the rock wall in the vibration, but before he could run twice, the group of dried corpses in the rear made a comeback again! The two of them waved the weapons in their hands to try to force back those dry corpses in the rear, but they couldn't stop the "puppet scale insects" that were flying in the air and were attracted by the bloody gas, seeing that the breath of despair was getting stronger and stronger, suddenly, an eager shout suddenly came from above the rock wall:

"Close your eyes!!"

"Chirp-"

At that moment, a sharp scream suddenly fell from the sky, and then, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out from the center of the cave! Jiang Yao and Mu Jianyun reflexively stretched out their hands to block their eyes, only to feel that the fluttering sound of the "puppet scale insects" around them seemed to disappear abruptly, and even the vibration of the ground gradually subsided. When the white light faded and they opened their eyes again, they saw only the corpses of "puppet scale insects" all around them, and the dried corpses that had fallen to the ground motionless.

"Just now...... What happened?"

Jiang Yao was stunned to see everything that was happening in front of him, and only after a while did he suddenly react and turn his head to look at the rock wall behind him.

I saw a thin but familiar figure standing in the shadow of the cave above. A pair of strange gold and silver eyes flickered in the darkness, looking down at Jiang Yao and the two of them below from the mouth of the cave.

"Whew...... Finally caught up. ”

A helpless sigh with a bit of happiness came from above, and while seeing the appearance of the figure clearly, Jiang Yao's uncertain expression was finally replaced by surprise and joy.

"Stars, stars and moons......!?"
