Chapter Seventy-Three: In Crisis
The gurgling stream, hidden in the strange stone forest, looms. If it weren't for the silence of the night, even the slightest sound of the water would not be easy for people to detect.
Feng Qingwan held his self-created "Dragon Ruler" in his hand, his eyes looked at the flowing water in front of him from time to time, and from time to time he fiddled with the red tip, and after the direction was confirmed, he continued to move forward. Chen Hanyu just followed him quietly, taking care of the grass and trees behind him from time to time to cover up the traces of the two of them.
After beating around the bush for a long time, the two finally came to the end of the stream.
I saw a black rock cave hidden quietly in those tall reeds. The cave is much smaller than the Yunfeng Gate, and the color of the outer part of the cave is very close to the surrounding grass and trees, if it is not for the flow of water to find here, I am afraid that even the top masters passing by may not have thought that there will be a hidden cave here.
"No accident, this is it......" Feng Qingwan stared at the cave for a long time, and nodded to herself. Then he put away his pair of Emei thorns, and walked towards the stone cave.
Chen Hanyu didn't hurry to follow, but looked back at the road again. At the same time, he reached out and broke some reed branches, and arranged a simple phantom array at the entrance of the cave. Although the secret of this hidden cave was only known to him and Feng Qingwan, the people of the Huangshan Immortal Jade Sect. But just in case, he thought it would be better to be cautious.
Shortly after the two of them entered, the sound of Si Si Suo sounded again in the reeds. Feng Changqing and Wen Qiao followed the path they had walked in the evening.
"This place...... It's a little familiar!" Feng Changqing looked left and right at his surroundings and muttered in a low voice.
"Has the young master been here?" Wen Qiao turned his head suspiciously, but was glared at coldly by Feng Changqing. Frightened, he quickly turned his head and continued to explore the way, not daring to make a sound.
No one knows how Wen Qiao became Feng Changqing's subordinate. On that day, when Wen Qiao and the others escaped from Feng Qingwan's palm and hid in a street corner to catch their breath, a flower suddenly appeared in front of them, and a red dress blocked them in front of them.
"Who is this......" Wen Qiao raised his head impatiently, and his gaze happened to meet Feng Changqing's bewitching and sharp eyes. I only felt that countless cold sweats suddenly broke out behind my back, Wen Qiao knelt on the ground with a "plop", and shouted in a trembling voice: "The woman spares her life, spares her life!"
Feng Changqing saw that the man was losing his temper at himself, and he was about to make a move, when he suddenly heard the other party calling himself a heroine, and his mood suddenly improved most of the time. However, this does not mean that she has to let go of the other party so easily, only to hear a cold snort, Feng Changqing said disdainfully: "Spare your life, what do you have that deserves this girl to spare your life?"
"I ...... I am the young master of the Beggar Gang's Pure Clothes Sect!" Wen Qiao heard that there was room for maneuver, and quickly revealed his identity.
With a sneer, Feng Changqing crossed his hands on his waist and put on the appearance of a young lady: "What kind of thing is the clean clothes pie, this girl can't look at it yet." ”
Feng Changqing obviously didn't know this "Young Master of the Pure Clothes Sect", and there was no need to know him. After all, the current Yue Haishen Sect doesn't care about the beggar gang, a gang that has declined.
"No! no, the woman spares her life!" Wen Qiao was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly.
The three beggar disciples standing behind Wen Qiao were also worried in their hearts. Their strength was weaker than Wen Qiao's, and they didn't know what was terrifying about this Feng Changqing in front of them. However, looking at the frightened expression of his own young master, and then look at the arrogance of the other party. Anyone can guess that the girl in red in front of her is far above Wen Qiao in terms of strength and identity.
However, as the so-called ignorant are fearless, they have not personally felt the evil power of Feng Changqing after all. There was also a lot of confusion in that apprehension.
"Is this woman and Feng Qingwan together?" one of the beggar disciples suddenly asked.
As soon as these words came out, the disciple felt a sharp gaze look at him. Before he could show his frightened look, a red shadow flashed, and his body had been nailed to the wall by Feng Changqing. And the other party's right hand was pinching his fragile neck.
"Say!, where is Feng Qingwan?" Feng Changqing's voice came faintly.
He ...... He ...... that beggar gang disciple was so frightened that he subconsciously stretched out his hands to grab Feng Changqing's hand that grabbed his neck. I didn't want to Feng Changqing for a glance, and his hand turned secretly. The disciple's two hands hadn't touched Feng Changqing's wrists, and he suddenly screamed miserably, his hands hung down weakly, and the flesh and blood under his skin were blurred. It was actually his two hand bones, which were directly shattered by Feng Changqing's internal force.
Seeing that this woman was so ruthless, Wen Qiao and the others gasped. Wen Qiao swallowed his saliva, took his knees as his feet, knelt in front of Feng Changqing and said respectfully: "The heroine spares her life, Wen Qiao will definitely be able to help the heroine find Feng Qingwan's whereabouts." ”
After all, Wen Qiao had some experience in the rivers and lakes, and seeing this scene, he probably guessed in his heart that Feng Changqing was very eager to find Feng Qingwan. It just so happened that Feng Qingwan provoked himself just now, no, someone came to vent this for himself so soon?
"Hmph! This girl has the means, do you still need your help?" Feng Changqing didn't even look at Wen Qiao, and snorted coldly.
Wen Qiao chuckled in his heart, and added again: "He just touched the ten-mile fennel powder I sent, and he can't escape in a short time!"
These words seemed to have some effect, Feng Changqing paused, his eyes locked on Wen Qiao again, and asked lightly, "Really?"
"It's true...... It must be true......" Before Wen Qiao finished speaking, suddenly the red shadow in front of him trembled, and a terrible scream sounded in his ears. Then he was horrified to find that the three beggar disciples standing beside him suddenly seemed to have been drained of their strength, their bodies were limp, their faces were pale, and none of them had breath.
And Feng Changqing, the murderer who killed the three people in that instant, was still standing in place, as if she had never moved at all. Looking at Wen Qiao, who was weak, he snorted coldly and said, "This girl will believe you once...... If things don't go well, you know the end!" he also gestured in the direction of the three corpses as he spoke.
"Yes...... Be...... The woman was relieved...... "Wen Qiao couldn't stop trembling, and even his voice trembled.
"Don't take a bite of a woman! The title of the righteous path is annoying to hear......" Feng Changqing raised his eyebrows, "In the future, I will call the young master, and then call those people in the righteous way, be careful that I cut your tongue!"
"Yes...... Be...... The young master spared his life...... "Wen Qiao was still begging for mercy, until he heard Feng Changqing's cold voice: "Go!" This was relieved, and quickly got up and followed, not even daring to look back at the three corpses on the ground......
At this moment, Feng Changqing saw that Wen Qiao was so obedient, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he frowned and continued to look at the surrounding environment.
"Why is it so familiar...... This girl doesn't remember coming here?" Feng Changqing thought secretly in his heart, and seemed to be very puzzled by this question.
"Young master, there is no way!" Wen Qiao in front of him suddenly said.
When Feng Changqing said this, he pulled back from his thoughts, only to see her gloomy face, and asked coldly: "What do you mean, what do you mean that there is no way?"
Without waiting for Wen Qiao to answer, Feng Changqing had already looked through his body and looked at the road ahead...... But I saw a whole huge cliff standing in front of me, the top was unclimbable, where was the road to go.
His face suddenly became more gloomy, and he only heard Feng Changqing ask suspiciously: "What kind of road is this? Could it be that they flew up from this cliff?"
When she said this, the murderous intent was revealed, and Wen Qiao immediately fell to his knees in fright: "Young master...... Young master, listen to me...... Ah!" The last scream was that Wen Qiao's body was directly knocked away by Feng Changqing's palm, slammed into the mountain wall, and then rolled down weakly.
"Waste, what's the use of leaving you if you can't find a way?" Feng Changqing didn't look at Wen Qiao's corpse at all. He took a closer look at his surroundings before fixing his gaze on the ground.
"The water is suddenly gone?" Feng Changqing frowned, she found something abnormal.
When they came over just now, there seemed to be a thin stream of water next to them. But now, she couldn't see a trace of the water flowing by, and the source seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Although they didn't come along the water, Feng Changqing was such a master, and his sensitivity to the surrounding environment was far beyond that of ordinary people in the rivers and lakes. After careful inspection, I immediately found this fatal flaw.
Where does the water come from?
A smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and Feng Changqing's body suddenly jumped in the air. The right palm flipped over, and the palm wind caused it, carrying the dead leaves on the surrounding trees that seemed to be about to fall to the ground, and slapped the mud and stone ground.
"Smack!"
The earth and rocks are flying, and the grass and trees are bent. It was like a burst of yellow sand rising in the desert, blurring everything in front of him.
And in this turbid air full of earth chips, Feng Changqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and his sharp gaze looked at the cliff in front of him through the heavy yellow mist.
I saw that the brown and yellow cliff wall that was originally a continuous piece suddenly revealed an inconspicuous small stone cave, under the cover of reeds, it was really difficult to find if you didn't look carefully.
"Really...... Feng Qingwan is really a good means......" Feng Changqing raised his eyebrows, walked into the stone cave, grabbed Wen Qiao's body and threw it into the reeds, and then casually wiped off the marks on the ground with his feet.
And at this moment, Chen Hanyu and Feng Qingwan are still exploring this wet and cold cave. Both of them are masters, and it stands to reason that darkness generally cannot affect their actions. It's just that this cave is very strange, the two of them can't see anything except the pitch black in front of them, and even their ability to feel the surrounding environment has deteriorated a lot.
It stands to reason that when it comes to masters of their realm, the development of their senses is far beyond that of ordinary people. In addition to being able to see clearly what ordinary people can't see at all, there is only a little bit of light. Like a bat, it can judge the surrounding environment by means such as echoes. However, at this moment, the two of them were like blind people, and they could only move forward with their support, and in their senses, there seemed to be something affecting their judgment.
"Brother Feng, do you have any glow-in-the-dark stones?" Chen Hanyu suddenly asked.
In fact, when it comes to caving, in that era when there were no flashlights, the first thing that came to mind should be torches. However, in this cave full of mysteries and unknowns, fire is often a very uncontrollable factor of change, and it is easy to set off some chain reactions. So Chen Hanyu thought of the luminous stone.
After all, things like luminous stones, night pearls, and the like emit cold light, and they will not easily change the temperature of the surrounding environment like a flame, or even light up something to cause an incident.
"No, I didn't expect to bring this...... Eh, wait!" Feng Qingwan's excited voice suddenly came from the darkness, and then there seemed to be a sound of porcelain rubbing. Then, Chen Hanyu's eyes suddenly lit up.
I saw a golden fluorescence, faintly, like a ghostly fire, beating wantonly in a transparent glass bottle in Feng Qingwan's hand, and was plugged by Feng Qingwan. Slightly shocking, the ghostly light became brighter and brighter, and finally even illuminated a large area around the two of them.
"I had some phosphor on me, and I didn't remember it for a while. Feng Qingwan looked at Chen Hanyu and smiled.
Chen Hanyu couldn't help but glance at him, thinking in his heart that you can forget this. His eyes were full of curiosity and looked at the transparent bottle in Feng Qingwan's hand: "I really can't imagine that your Huangshan Immortal Jade Sect still has such a magical thing." ”
"Oh roar~ This is not my sect's thing. Feng Qingwan's answer was unexpected, "It was given to me by Xiaojing that day, saying that it was a toy given to her by an old grandfather, and she wanted to repay me for saving my life." ”
"Forehead ......" Chen Hanyu was speechless in his heart. What kind of people have it these days?
"Speaking of Xiao Jing, I don't know how she is now......" Feng Qingwan looked at the homemade glass lamp in her hand, and said with some concern.
"Such a big girl, what's not to worry about. Chen Hanyu smiled and comforted, "Besides, didn't we ask the innkeeper to help watch her? ”
Seeing that Feng Qingwan hadn't completely come back to his senses, Chen Hanyu couldn't help but ridicule again: "What............'s the matter? Let's keep going!" he said, turning his head and walking forward.
And at this time, the expressions of the two suddenly moved, as if they heard something.
"Buzz...... Buzz ......"
There was a sudden chill in his heart, even though both of them were top-grade masters, they still unconsciously moved closer until they could go back to back, guarding against unknown threats from all directions.
"Buzz...... Buzz Buzz...... Buzz ......"
A moment later, under the horror of the two of them, a group of black and oppressive, but seemingly blood-red things, their procession was long and tailless, and it was approaching the light from afar, flying towards the two of them.
"Blood...... Blood moth ......" Feng Qing spit out a word in a daze at night.
Chen Hanyu had never heard of this species, and perhaps there was no such thing in his world. However, at this moment, it was only from Feng Qingwan's frightened expression. He could also see that this blood moth was definitely not a species to be messed with.
Come to think of it, it's the bureau laid out by the predecessor called Ghost Xiaozi. It's ridiculous that the two of them still think that without open fire, there is no danger.
Finally, it's one step less......
"Let's go!" Without any hint, the two of them moved at the same time, and their bodies quickly jumped dozens of feet away. After taking the fluorescent lamp, this end of the cavern immediately returned to darkness. All that remained was the noisy humming sound, with a terrifying aura, that filled the entire cavern.
However, the blood moth was very powerful, and although its flight speed was far less than the speed at which the two of them performed light skills, it could still firmly remember the direction and chase after it from afar. And along the way of the two of them, countless blood moths joined in, further expanding the pursuit team.
"Throw away the glass lamp~ Otherwise, we will all die!" In the hurry, Chen Hanyu shouted at Feng Qingwan beside him while performing light skills.
"It's too late! In addition to chasing light, the blood moth will also be bloodthirsty, and if it falls into the darkness, we will have no power to fight back!" Feng Qingwan did not dare to relax at all, still holding the glass lamp in his hand.
And at this moment, the hearts of the two suddenly jumped. I saw that in the road ahead, countless blood moths suddenly gushed out. There was a siege in front, and there were chasing soldiers in the back, and the blood moth completely surrounded the two in the middle, and they were about to pounce.
"Bang!" With a bang, Feng Qingwan finally threw out the glass lamp, letting the phosphor powder scatter out of it. He was making a last-ditch effort, trying to attract the attention of the blood moth with the glass lamp.
The effect soon followed, and most of the blood moths were attracted by the fluorescence and buzzed around there. A few people who didn't have long eyes flew towards the two of them, but they were quickly directly shocked into the air by Chen Hanyu and Feng Qingwan's palm wind, and they couldn't get close to the two at all.
However, both of them knew very well in their hearts that this solution could only solve a temporary need. Waiting for the fluorescence to diffuse and the blood moth to turn back, even if the two of them have the ability to reach the sky, they will not be able to escape from such a huge group of blood moths.
Really, are you going to die here?
