Chapter 229: Opening Mess
"What!?"
As soon as they heard the elephant snake say that the "Black Soul Castle" would be closed, everyone queuing at the door was dumbfounded.
"Wait, this auction is about to start, if we don't let us enter the 'Black Soul Castle', how can we participate?"
"Yes, Lao Tzu has worked hard to get here, how can you say that it will be sealed!?"
"You're not Tubo, why are you talking nonsense here??"
"Pound ββ!"
Before everyone could finish shouting, a chilling vermilion demon wind rushed towards everyone's faces! Immediately knocked several strong men rushing to the front row to the ground.
"Hmph, I'm like a snake doing things, and it's not your turn to point fingers!" The snake glared angrily at the people in front of him, without the slightest intention of backing down. "Until those two stinky 'rats' are found, no one should think of entering this 'Black Soul Castle', and they are not allowed to leave 'Siyin Street'!
ββ¦β¦β
In the face of such a strong elephant snake, everyone dared to be angry for a while, and even Qiu Laosan, who was originally going to come forward to theorize, was a little cowardly, so he could only follow the meaning of the elephant snake and ask:
"That'...... So what 'rats' are you looking for...... What the hell is it?"
"Hmph, you don't need to ask, I'll pull those two guys out of you with my own hands!" said the snake as he looked at the dense crowd in front of him, and deliberately raised his voice.
"I know you're mixed in there, don't think I'll be able to do anything about you if you hide your breath!...... Didn't you come to me in the first place to rescue [someone] who was participating in the 'Special Challenge'?"
The snake sneered, sweeping its eerie gaze to the ragged, unmasked people in the crowd, and a malicious smile curled up at the corners of his mouth.
"If I strangle all those who survived the challenge, one by one, will you still sit idly by!?"
"What did you say?"
When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly changed greatly. As soon as he heard the snake's words, it seemed to be directed at the participants of the "special challenge", and the guests who had been directly invited to the "ghost market" immediately walked out of the crowd, holding up the spell marks on both sides of the street, obviously this spell mark was their "proof of identity". And after those people withdrew, only dozens of "special challenge" survivors, including Qiu Laosan and others, were left in the same place.
"Hehe, so many guys survived, it's good luck. The elephant snake said coldly, and slowly walked towards Qiu Laosan and the others who were nervously on guard. "But it's a pity...... Your good fortune is coming to an end!"
Before the words fell, the elephant snake suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at a thin man at the front of the team, who was stunned, and before he could react from his daze, he was lifted up by a volley of vermilion demonic energy, and in the blink of an eye, it smashed on the ground!
"Uh-huh!!"
The man screamed and convulsed, and soon rolled his eyes in the deep pit that had been smashed out, and was silent again. And Qiu Laosan and the others on the side were also shocked by the tragedy in front of them, and they were speechless for a while.
"This is the first one. The snake grinned twistedly and turned to look at the remaining dozen. "As long as those two guys don't show up, I'll kill them one by one. If you want to blame, blame the two 'rats' who refuse to appear!Hahahaha!"
"Damn......" Jiang Yao gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to rush out, but was pulled back to the corner by Lu Xingyue.
"Wait, you're not going to die! He's obviously coming for a few of us. Lu Xingyue looked at the group of innocent survivors in front of him who were blocked by elephant snakes in the middle of the street, and her brows furrowed. "We were able to escape because we didn't queue up in the first place, but if we were discovered, things would be in trouble. β
"I just knew that he was coming at us, so I didn't want innocent people to die for us. Jiang Yao clenched his fists and trembled slightly. "Although I said before that I couldn't startle the snake, but now is not the time to look ahead, even if I expose my demonic power, I ......"
"Heh, save it, if you accidentally lose control of your demonic power, it is estimated that more people will die on the scene. The gluttonous man on the side shrugged his shoulders, and there was no trace of guilt in his understated words, although the disaster in front of him was all caused by him and the three-legged black.
"Anyway, the duration of your sealing technique is too short, I thought I could trap him for ten days and a half months, but this is good, and it will be extraneous again. Gluttony sighed and complained to the three-legged black. "I knew that I had shaved off the hair of the snake guy in the first place, so that even if he broke the seal, he wouldn't have the face to show his face~ Hey, it's a mistake......"
"Hmph, you have the right to question me if you don't have any mana? The three-legged black eye flew with a blank eye, and replied. "However, now that he is preventing us from entering the 'Black Soul Castle', let's just come forward and settle it directly, don't waste my time. β
"You're not kidding, are you?" said Glutton, raising his eyebrows, and pointing to the "Black Soul Castle" in front of him. "Don't forget, Tubo is inside, if he makes trouble here, do you think he will continue to auction the 'Soul Stone'?"
ββ¦β¦ Looks like you're still going to continue to be shrunken turtles, right?"
As he spoke, the serpent's sharp voice came from the front again. Jiang Yao hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see that the elephant snake had stretched out his hand again, looking like it was about to choose the next victim.
"In that case, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The elephant snake said, his fingers hooked slightly, and the object he selected this time was Qiu Laosan not far away.
"Hmm...... Forehead...... Let go, let go of me!!" Qiu Laosan struggled desperately, but he couldn't stop his body from rising in the air, and his face gradually turned blue under the restraint of the demonic airflow.
"Hehehe...... Although I don't know who you two are looking for me, but if you kill them one by one, you will always kill the 'one' that you value the most!"
"Look, that's ...... The second one!"
"Stop!" Seeing that Qiu Laosan was about to be thrown to death in front of him, Jiang Yao suddenly didn't care about anything else, and subconsciously wanted to rush forward, but at this moment, a violent roar suddenly exploded from behind everyone!
"Rumbleββ!
The sudden shock caused the people on the long street to stagger, and even Jiang Yao was unstable for a while, and was hurriedly supported by Lu Xingyue.
"W-What's going on?!"
"I don't know, is it an earthquake?"
"Look, the 'Black Soul Castle' ......!!"
In the exclamation of everyone, I saw a faint ripple on the surface of the ink-colored "water droplet" at the end of the long street. Immediately after, the "droplet" seemed to be held up by an invisible hand, and began to gradually rise off the ground, higher and higher.
"Why did the 'Black Soul Castle' fly......?
Everyone recovered from their astonishment, and suddenly found that a teleportation circle was slowly projected from under the ink-colored "water droplets" hanging in the air. Several "distinguished guests" in suits and leather shoes hurriedly ran forward under the leadership of the guards, and disappeared the moment they stepped into the circle, and the area of the teleportation circle became smaller and smaller as time passed.
"This is!Countdown Circle!?"
"So the auction is going to start soon?"
"If you don't leave, you won't be able to participate in the auction!"
The crowds on both sides of the street, who had been watching the excitement, suddenly woke up like a dream, and began to rush to the direction of the magic circle, and the elephant snake saw that the situation was wrong, so he could only temporarily throw Qiu Laosan aside, turned around and shouted angrily to everyone:
"Stop! Take my words as the wind in your ears? I see who dares to ......"
"Ahh
Without waiting for the snake to finish speaking, they heard a loud shout suddenly from the crowd, and everyone turned their heads to look, and sure enough, they found that a black shadow rushed towards the teleportation circle under the "Black Soul Castle", and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"I'm going! I'm being preempted!" Seeing that someone had already slipped into the teleportation circle, everyone present was gone, and the anxiety and resentment that had accumulated made those people forget all about the threat of the snake.
"There is a limit to the number of people in the auction, and if you go late, you won't be able to enter!"
"The circle is getting smaller and smaller, and it can't be rubbed any longer!"
The stimulated people rushed to the teleportation array, and the snake eyes glared, and the demonic qi flowing in the palm of his hand rushed up, and Qiu Laosan, who was lucky enough to escape, hurriedly took the rest of the people to blend into the crowd and fled in the direction of the teleportation array.
"Damn, stand for me...... Huh!?"
The guard on the side was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to support the elephant snake, but saw that the other party's face was pale, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be bleeding.
"Elephant Serpent-sama!βYou're hurt!?"
"Bastard...... It seems that he injured his qi veins when he rushed to the seal before......" The elephant snake gritted its teeth, looked at the chaotic crowd in front of it with resentment, and staggered to its feet. "A bunch of minions dare to ignore me...... See if I don't clean up...... Ahem...... Ahem, ahem, ahem......!!"
"Lord Elephant Snake, if you don't hold on, let's ask Lord Tubo for support!" Seeing that the Elephant Snake was seriously injured, the guards on the side immediately panicked, but at this moment, another guard hurried over from a distance, ran to the Elephant Snake's side and whispered a few words.
"Lord Tubo...... Is that really what you say?" the serpent looked up at the guard, a look of surprise on his face.
"Well, yes. Master Tuber said that it doesn't matter if 'those two guys' sneak into the auction, so you don't have to stop it. The guard nodded, reaching out and handing a token to the Elephant Snake. "This is an edict from Lord Tubo, he told you to step back and rest, and you don't have to worry about the auction. β
"What?!but...... Ahem...... Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......!" the snake trembled and seemed to be struggling with something, but he finally chose to obey.
"Hmph, if you are targeted by Lord Tubo, you can ask for more blessings!" he reached out and took the token, turning to look at the few people who had been teleported in front of him, and a cold chill flashed in his slender eyes.
"This time, you can't escape...... Gluttony!"
