Chapter 178: The Circle Hides Trouble
The man was just halfway through his laughter, when suddenly there was a gust of wind next to him, and the nearest miner next to him swung his head and smashed it into the back of the man's head, and the sharp pickaxe slammed into the back of the man's head, and the pointed head went straight out of his mouth, and the spirit crystal in his hand came out of his hand, flying in the air, emitting a brilliant blue light.
Just as it flew and fell, a hand suddenly reached out to catch it, it was the person who had sneaked up before, he let go of the hand holding the hoe, and let the man who had been hoeed to death in front of him fall from the stone platform, and fell into the deep dark abyss, which was quickly swallowed by the darkness.
But he didn't wait long for the sneak attacker to be happy, a talisman on his head fell lightly, as soon as it made contact with his body, immediately this talisman burst into flames, and then the sneak attacker was also full of raging flames, he screamed, he slapped the flames on his body frantically with one hand, and the other hand was clenched into a fist.
One of the people on the steps above him squatted on the edge of the steps, watched the fire from the other side, and said with a smile: Hey, throw the spirit crystal up, and I will save you!"
The man who was burned raised his head, the expression on his face was angry and desperate, even the burning flames could not stop this hatred, he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't you think, even if I take it to death, I will never cheapen you!"
As he spoke, he clutched the spirit crystal tightly and laughed wildly, jumped into the boundless darkness of the abyss.
Everyone saw that this flame quickly fell in the darkness, getting smaller and smaller, and his laughter became more and more poignant, and it became farther and farther away, echoing in this huge stone cave, like thunder and lightning, hitting everyone's heart hard.
The people on the stage watched the miner who fell and burned to death fall into the darkness with this rare spirit crystal, they all stared greedily below, and saw that the burning man finally turned into a very small spark and disappeared, they retracted their gaze, and let out a long sigh, and they didn't know whether they were sighing for the rapid passing of a life, or sighing for the dust of this spirit crystal, or sighing for the viciousness and cruelty of people's hearts.
The men looked at each other, scrutinizing, tentative, and vigilant in their eyes, each looking like they were not on their own business, each staring at each other with a judgmental look.
Li Chengfeng only saw a chill on his back on the side, just now he didn't even see how this talisman appeared, which person above cast it, and the two sturdy lives in front of him who were still wielding hoes and sweating like rain before a few breaths turned into nothing in a blink of an eye, life is so lowly here, it is so fragile!
Li Chengfeng finally believed that what Su You said was not an exaggeration at all, in this place, the real threat was the people around here, they still looked so pure and hardworking in the last second, but the next second they showed the extreme of human evil!
Su Yuehan saw more of such ugly human nature, she secretly hid behind Li Chengfeng vigilantly, and quietly pulled his sleeve, Li Chengfeng understood, he stared at the people on the stone pillar vigilantly, carefully bypassed them, and continued to walk forward from the aisle at the stone wall.
These people also watched Li Chengfeng leave, and then they retracted their gaze, even though one or two greedy gazes fell on Su Yuehan's body, but they quickly retracted it.
For them, Lingjing is something worthy of their death, because it can change their fate, but a delicate white and tender beauty like Su Yuehan is a boning knife and a hero's mound, and people with real ambition will never bet on them.
Li Chengfeng took Su Yuehan out of this stone cave, and the clanging sound behind him gradually faded away, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, their backs were slightly cold at this time, but they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
But what the two of them didn't know was that just when they thought they had just come out of the wolf's den, a bigger and more terrible storm was quietly coming.
......
Shiwu Mountain, Shiwu Peak.
The three figures flashed by, and they swept quickly, until they stopped at the exit of an abandoned mine, it was the senior brother of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, Qin Xuanqin, and Ouyang Nan.
The elder brother quickly glanced around, then reached out to remove the weeds at the exit of the abandoned mine and took a look, seeing that there were twisted and strange magic circle runes inside, he withdrew his hand and let the weeds cover the magic circle again.
The senior brother glanced at Qin Zhanqin, his eyes were full of inquiry, Qin Zhenqin and Senior Brother had been friends for many years, and he knew what he meant with just one look, so he said: "Don't worry, I have taken advantage of the mission this time to hide, and I have arranged this place to shake the mountains and shake the formation in a foolproof way, and it is no different from the earth dragon, and no one will see the clues." ”
Ouyang Nan touched his chin and said, "I bought all the materials back according to what you said." But will any remnants of this circle be found?"
Qin Zhan glanced at him and said coldly: "Let you read more "Qimen Formation", you don't listen to it, thinking that you can sit back and relax after reading a copy of "Formation Speech"? ”
Ouyang Nan's face turned a little red, and he said, "What's the use of me learning this thing? I can form a magic circle by myself? Or can we Hidden Sword Pavilion form a magic circle now? Besides, there is a specialization in the art industry, you are proficient in the magic circle, you have to ask others to learn it too!"
Qin Zhenqin sighed and said: "This magic circle belongs to a large magic circle, the reason why I chose to arrange it here is because this is one of the keel locations of Shiwu Mountain, as long as it is shaken here, it will immediately cause an earthquake in Shiwu Mountain, after this magic circle is triggered, the formation runes will dissipate with the urging of mana, and no one will ever find clues." ”
Senior Brother nodded: "Very good, you are doing things safely, I am relieved." ”
Ouyang Nan was a little angry on the side, and wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he endured it again, and he said sullenly: "I'll guard the formation here, you go to the other two places." ”
Qin Zhenqin advised: "Remember, at five o'clock in the afternoon, let's start together!"
The senior brother said in a deep voice: "It's time!"
At the same time, the three of them took out a spherical timer from their cuffs, which was full of transparent liquid, and there was an hourglass floating in it, and the hourglass was marked with the scale time, and the upper part corresponded to the sub-hour, the ugly hour, the Yin hour, the Mao hour, the hour hour, the hour hour, the hour hour, the middle hour, the second half of the noon hour, and the other half of the noon time, and the time scales of the future, Shen time, unitary time, Xu time, and Hai hour, and each hour was marked with eight small scales, and every eight quarters was an hour.
The hourglass floats in the balloon, no matter how it sways and turns upside down, the hourglass is always aimed at the opposite side at a vertical angle, and the sand in it flows slowly and steadily, like the time of the deceased.
At this time, the sand leakage on the hourglass has almost leaked, only the last few grains of sand remain, and the scale has also come to four o'clock in the afternoon, the most wonderful thing is that the scale of the upper part of the hourglass is slightly shiny, which can make people clearly see the time at a glance, and when the last sand is drained, the hourglass suspended in the water ball suddenly automatically reversed, and began to pour down the sand again, and the lower part of the original dim scale also lit up at this time.
The upper part of the scale is originally lit with a red glow, and this light only hovers at the position corresponding to the time of the scale, and the viewer can immediately know the time of the present moment as soon as he looks at the time scale illuminated by the light. At this time, the bright scale in the upper part of the scale dims, and the scale in the lower part glows pale green, indicating that the time of the day has entered the yin time when the yang energy begins to decline and the yin energy gradually develops.
After the three of them checked the time through the water balloon hourglass, they each glanced at each other, the senior brother looked at him certainly, and was about to leave, when Qin Zhenqin suddenly said: "Senior brother, you have thought about it, this move, we will never be able to turn back!"
Senior Brother turned his head to stare at Qin Xuanqin, and said slowly, "Are you afraid?"
Qin Zhenqin said in a deep voice: "What I'm afraid of is ...... The Hidden Sword Pavilion will eventually perish at our hands!"
Senior Brother raised his head and looked at the sky, he laughed miserably, and said: "The Three Days Pavilion is pressing forward step by step, aggressive, and it will not give us a way to live at all! Instead of lingering, it is better to fight hard! Let them know that our Hidden Sword Pavilion is by no means a fish to be slaughtered!"
Ouyang Nan became excited: "Senior brother is right! Since this Shi Wufeng can't get any benefits now, then they don't want to get benefits! Just smash this rice pot, everyone don't eat!"
Qin Zhenqin thought for a moment and sighed: "It's a pity that those young junior disciples of the Hidden Sword Pavilion ...... I'm just afraid to ...... this time."
The senior brother also fell silent, and after a while, he raised his head, his eyes full of determination: "Without sacrifice, there will be no future!"
