Chapter Eighty-Five: Jar Alto
The water in winter is biting cold, even if it is in the underground where it can be insulated, it is by no means something that ordinary people can bear.
The Man of the Dark Fire jumped into a well and swam rapidly along the water column. In the completely dark underground, you have to carry a large jar weighing more than 300 catties, and you can't use cultivation, just identifying the direction is already a problem, and you want to escape according to the planned route, the difficulty can be imagined.
No matter how carefully the Dark Fire planned, there was no time to send someone to test the test route first, and this route only had the possibility of escaping alive. On the premise of not considering the pursuers, it is a life and a death, not to mention that the danger will suddenly occur at any time.
Carefully perceiving the direction of the water, the Darkfire Man swam hard, silently calculating the location and time in his mind.
The Darkfire Man could not detect the protruding rock, and when he turned it, he accidentally touched it, and a huge hole was immediately pierced in his thigh. He immediately controlled the muscle contractions, trying not to leave too many traces, but Dong Jinwei was able to quickly lock on to his position with clues.
"There's still a hundred zhang!"
It had been a full quarter of an hour since the Dark Fire Man jumped into the well, and he had long exceeded the limit of what ordinary people could hold their breath, not to mention that he was swimming with all his strength all the time, and the consumption of his body was also quite huge.
"There's still fifty zhang!"
The Darkfire Man had clearly felt that his body was getting heavier, as if countless tentacles had grown in the water and were pulling him down, and his strength was rapidly fading.
"Thirty feet more!" The Darkfire man could no longer keep his mind clear, and he couldn't even sense whether his limbs were still acting according to his instructions. But he must not use his cultivation, he can only rely on this body to support himself.
"There are still twenty zhang!"
"And ten feet!" the man of the dark fire did not know that his limbs had stopped moving, and he was suspended in the aquifer, as if he had completely lost his life. Being able to hold on to this point can be said to be the limit of manpower.
"I can't die! I still have the mission of being a princess! My mission is the result of hundreds of lives! The foundation of countless generations of dark fire operating in the heavenly capital has been destroyed for the sake of this person on my back! I can't die! I must send this person back to the southern kingdom!"
Poof-
The Darkfire Man suddenly emerged from the water, took a big breath, and wanted to blow himself up, and then coughed violently. This breath almost killed him, but fortunately he quickly recovered.
The limbs still didn't have much strength, and the cold was taking away consciousness, but the people of the dark fire didn't care so much, and they supported the wall of the well with their arms and began to climb up quickly. As he was about to climb out of the well, he watched vigilantly, then sprang swiftly into the weeds, and it took only two or three breaths to change his outfit before he climbed over the wall. At the same time, someone happened to walk in the door and take away the drenched clothes that had been changed. He was a man who collected money to work, and he didn't need to know anything else, he just needed to know that he was going to take this suit to Dongcheng and hand it over to another person.
The man of the dark fire took a few quick breaths, put the large cans on the cart with several identical large cans, and pushed the cart through the eastern city. He needed to quickly adjust his breathing and pretend that nothing was going on. During this period, countless Royal Foresters passed by him, and they didn't notice him.
"After the intersection ahead, hide in that yard, and stay until the evening to get out!"
has come here, even if the plan is more than half successful, but the person of the dark fire knows the truth that those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and he still can't relax in the slightest. With his head slightly down, he pushed the cart into the alley, and one by one he carried the cans into the courtyard house.
The man who came out of the courtyard next door glanced at the person in the dark fire with a dodgy gaze, did not dare to look more, and hurried away.
The man in the dark fire was suspicious, but he had to push the car into the house in order, and then close the door.
"Could it be discovered? Impossible! The other party is an ordinary person, how can he find anything? So what does his eyes mean?"
At this time, he can't be suspicious, and he can't be sloppy.
Remembering each other's demeanor and actions countless times in his mind, the person with dark fire finally judged that the other party was just an irrelevant person, maybe the other party had a ghost in his heart to see people like this.
The north wind was howling all around, and the people of the dark fire were silently counting the time. His calculations are as accurate as missing engravings, and there are absolutely no deviations.
The person who can shoulder this task is undoubtedly the best person in the dark fire. The lack of any one ability will lead to the failure of the mission, and Darkfire simply cannot afford such a failure.
Outside, the movement of the Royal Forest Army gradually subsided, and the night also penetrated from the sky, only the howling of the north wind seemed to be aggravated.
The Man of the Dark Fire had been motionless for a long time, staring ahead, listening to any sounds around him, remaining in a state ready to erupt at any moment.
"There is still a quarter of an hour. ”
According to Darkfire's previous prediction, after this riot in Tiandu, the whole city will definitely be under martial law, but this just gives Darkfire a chance. The Imperial Forest Army and the Eastern Jin Guard spread all their forces all over the sky like a net, which seemed to be able to block everything, but in fact, they were able to find a suitable escape route from it, after all, the grid of fishing nets was regular.
The night was rapidly getting darker, and the lights were already on in the houses. It seems that the things of the day do not affect the night, and people are still going about their lives as usual.
"Ten breaths!" the Darkfire man waited silently, holding the large jar behind him with a hand behind his back.
"Nine breaths!"
The alley, which was already remote, was completely dark, and the poor would not hang lanterns at the door.
"Eight breaths!"
A small candle was lit in the courtyard next door, and the light was quite faint, reflecting the white porridge on the table and a pair of women's hands.
"Seven breaths!"
The howling wind shook the old locust trees in the yard and made a squeaking sound.
"Six breaths!"
The brass lock of the bolt door slammed in the wind.
"Five breaths!"
The man of the dark fire stood on his heels slightly, leaned forward slightly, and was ready.
"Four breaths!"
The Man of the Dark Fire held his breath.
"Three breaths!"
The Darkfire's heart skipped a beat.
"Two breaths!"
The muscles of the darkfire tensed.
"One breath!"
Knock! Knock!
There was a sudden knock on the door, and even though it was covered by the north wind, it was like thunder when it reached the ears of the dark fire, and his nerves immediately tensed.
Knock! Knock!
The knock sounded again, and the darkfire man stared at the door, trying to see through the obstacles and see who was outside.
After a few moments, no more sound came from outside the door, and the people of the dark fire finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, just as he was about to leave, he froze suddenly.
Boom!
And the sound!
But the sound did not come from the door, but from the large jar on the back.
"How is that possible?!" The Darkfire Man suddenly lost his mind to leave, and looked at the large jar that had been lowered from his shoulder with a shocked expression.
......
Outside the Tiandu City.
The north wind swept across the open plains, sweeping away all the dead grass and wood, leaving only the hard stones.
Beneath the earth, there are two stone-like people. Needless to say, they can't be caught with the naked eye, and it's hard to find them even by people with keen insight or magic weapons that specialize in detecting vitality. They are also members of the Darkfire Order, and are responsible for receiving those who come out of the city gates. No matter what happens, these two people will not move, nor will they say a word, they can only wait quietly.
After escaping from Tiandu City, the transit place was Fangyuan City. This is the best place to escape, and even if you can't escape for a while, hiding inside for a while is not a problem.
The people of the Darkfire Organization are patiently waiting for news from Tiandu. Even though they were both dark fires, they didn't know each other, they were both dressed in black robes, and there was little communication, but now they all raised their heads in unison.
"It's already the appointed time, haven't the people outside Tiandu yet arrived?"
"No one knows the situation in Tiandu, and it's useless to be anxious!"
"Wait until dawn, and leave Daming without news. ”
"I don't agree!'Sealing the Immortal Ghost Seal' is still complete, at least it proves that he is fine!"
"It's predetermined!"
"What if he can come back? We are waiting here, isn't it just when he comes back? If he comes back and finds himself empty, how will he complete his mission? We have paid so much that we cannot give up even if there is only one last glimmer of hope left!"
Originally, the Dark Fire Organization agreed that they would evacuate immediately if no one came back at the agreed time, after all, any Dark Fire was extremely precious, and they had to stop the loss in time. But now, many people's minds have changed.
"I agree. ”
"I agree. ”
"I agree. ”
The people under the black robes made the same sound. No matter what kind of person it is, as long as it is a dark fire, then it is absolutely loyal to the southern country, and dying in front of them is nothing at all.
"In that case, then change the original plan and infiltrate the Tiandu by the three who are good at hiding traces. Even if you can't get it, you have to try to attract Tiandu's attention. "Such a task is undoubtedly fatal, but that doesn't stop the people of Darkfire from accomplishing it.
"Me. ”
"Me. ”
"And me. ”
"Also, the route of retreat should be ......" While everyone was talking, a formation plate placed on the table moved.
"Seal the Immortal Ghost Seal?!Is it opened?!" Even if there was a black robe covering his face, he couldn't stop the shock in everyone's tone.
"Impossible! If it is forcibly opened by external force, the 'Sealing Immortal Ghost Seal' will definitely destroy everything in an instant, and it cannot be the current state!"
"And what does that mean?"
"What that means ...... The Immortal Seal is being ...... Devour!"
