Chapter 45: Breaking into the Ancient Tomb Cemetery at Night
When Ren Ruyu, Ying Ziyu and Wen Qianqian walked out of the teleportation formation in Beicheng, only half of the remnant rainbow was left in the sunset on the horizon.
And Ying Ziyu swept the streets around this teleportation array, and suddenly felt cold in his heart, especially under the sassy evening breeze, this feeling was two points stronger.
"It's so desolate here!" Ying Ziyu twitched the corner of his mouth, and subconsciously took two steps closer to the little heavenly master Wen Qianqian.
Wen Qianqian patted Ying Ziyu on the shoulder with a bright smile, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, don't be afraid, master, I will protect you!"
And Lan Xiaoxi, who was lying on the head of Yingzi's fish, also slapped the head of the fish with his claws, as if to say: "Useless coward!"
However, Ren Ruyu was the most calm, and said indifferently: "Let's go!"
In this way, the three of them and one cat walked slowly along the old streets covered with fallen leaves.
Ying Ziyu is really afraid of ghosts and is afraid to death, it is estimated that after Ying Zilong disappeared from the Hidden Dragon Cliff, he ran down from the Hidden Dragon Cliff in a hurry before he stayed for a month because he was afraid of ghosts. At this time, he forcibly pulled Wen Qianqian and Ren Ruyu to protect himself in the middle, and asked Lan Xiaoxi to be on guard against the attack of the flying ghost above his head at all times.
"Not only is this desolate, but even the buildings are very old! they look like they are all centuries-old buildings!" Ying Ziyu said with his neck shrunk between the two.
Wen Qianqian explained: "I heard Wen Yu say that the mountains that the north of Crescent City relied on three hundred hundred years ago were once one of the 100,000 mountains, which were not only rich in gold and jade spirit stones, but also all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures that could be obtained at will. However, the largest and most abundant resource in the mountains is the Warcraft. With the increasing number of teams entering the mountains to exploit resources, the habitat of the demonic beasts was constantly trampled and even encroached upon, and finally they carried out a crazy counterattack, often launching large-scale hunting and invasion, mutilating the residents of the northern city, killing and injuring countless people. Later, in order to solve the scourge of Warcraft, the current Wen City Lord called on a large number of mercenary teams, and sent a large number of cultivators, martial cultivators, and city guards to be stationed in the north of the city to prevent and organize counterattacks. Today it is the human race that has entered the mountain, and tomorrow it may be the demonic beast that has attacked the northern city. The two sides fought fiercely for more than 30 years, and the human race suffered countless casualties, and almost all the corpses of dead soldiers were buried in the mausoleum. In the end, the cultivators, mercenaries, and the army quelled the scourge of the Monsters, and some chose to settle here, while others chose to return to their hometowns. There are very few residents left in the north of the city, and most of the original inhabitants died under the beast's mouth, and most of those who survived also moved to other tripartite cities out of fear of the scourge of the monster. Now, more than 300 years later, although the north of the city has regained its former popularity, the number of residents is still more than 60% less than that of the other three major urban areas. That's why it's so desolate!"
"Then why is it that the doors and windows of every house are closed and the lights are not turned on in the evening?" This is the most terrifying part of Yingzi's fish, "I always feel that there are a pair of eyes staring at us in those doors and windows, and a good northern city also makes it look like a ghost village!"
Ren Ruyu replied coldly: "I'm afraid it's a habit formed under the long-term invasion of demonic beasts, after all, demonic beasts are mostly infested and foraged at night, and the light will attract their attention!"
"Brother Ruyu, don't speak in your bleak and cold voice here, as soon as you speak, the air is cold!" Ying Ziyu begged, curling his neck.
Ren Ruyu glanced at Ying Ziyu, who was holding his arm and trembling a little, and said with an interesting feeling, "I didn't expect you to point out the country and the majesty of all sides, and even Red Feather Fei couldn't do anything about you, but when you got here, you were as honest as a mouse in a cat cage!"
Wen Qianqian on the side pricked up her ears and listened carefully as early as when Ren Ruyu said something, and sure enough, without saying a word, the three words "Red Yufei" appeared, so it was worth it!
Immediately, the white-clothed sick Jiao first leaned into Ying Ziyu's ear and blew a breath of cold air, and then asked faintly: "Hong Yufei, what a beautiful name! Who is she?"
"Ahh
At this time, a gust of cold wind rose to the ground, blowing leaves fluttering all over the ground, and the three of them stood quietly on the deep and ancient streets, surrounded by a century-old wooden building that was pitch black and did not see any light, and this scene was really like being in a deserted village and ghost town.
Meow –
I don't know where there was a sudden sharp and long cat meow in a dark corner, which instantly caused a layer of goosebumps on the body of the Ying Ziyu.
Ying Ziyu couldn't stand being so quiet, so he leaned into Ren Ruyu's ear and said, "Brother Ruyu, you said that cat... It's black... Or ......"
Before Ying Ziyu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wen Qianqian: "Don't talk, listen!"
Ying Ziyu was about to ask her what she was listening to, but in the next moment, she heard a faint and imperceptible click, from far to near, from light to heavy, one sound, one at a time, as dense as the beat of a war drum.
Ying Ziyu turned his head and asked Ren Ruyu: "Did you hear it too?"
Ren Ruyu didn't speak, nodded, and pressed his forehand on the hilt of the sword.
"Could it be that the Yin soldiers are asking for their lives?" Ying Ziyu said with a pale face, "I hear it like the sound of horses' hooves, and it is in all directions!"
"It's the sound of horses' hooves!" Ren Ruyu nodded, and then shook his head again, "The other party is single-handed, and the others are echoes!"
At this time, Wen Qianqian said to the two of them: "That thing appeared, on the street on the left!"
When Ying Ziyu heard this, he immediately looked in that direction, and suddenly turned pale with fright: on the empty and dark street, an even darker figure rode a ghost horse with red eyes galloping over, and at least the person couldn't see the specific figure clearly, and could only vaguely know that he was covered with a wide cloak. What scared Ying Ziyu the most was that face - a pair of glowing red eyes, with two curved horns on the forehead, a large and high nose, and lips that shone with purple demon light grinning, revealing two rows of criss-crossed sharp teeth above and below, and the whole face looked hideous and terrifying under the red light.
The yellow light flashed in Ying Ziyu's hand, and a black longbow was in his hand, and then he took out the black iron arrow and directly wound the bow.
"It's definitely not a good thing to pretend to be a ghost like this, and let me shoot him first to see if it's a human or a ghost!" Ying Ziyu said through gritted teeth, trying to calm his trembling hands.
The next moment, with a bang, the long arrow pierced the space with a whistling sound that seemed to tear through the black curtain and shot at the ghost on horseback.
Ying Ziyu moved so fast that Wen Qianqian didn't have time to stop it: "That's the Exorcist Knight, it should be done by the residents!"
"Don't say it sooner!" Ying Ziyu blamed.
But the next moment, I saw that the black shadow on the horse actually bounced several meters high from the horse's back, and then fell back to the horse's back steadily.
"Did he dodge the arrow?" Ying Ziyu said uncertainly, "My arrow is originally black, and the rate of fire is extremely high, how can he judge the exact time to dodge? It is impossible to distinguish the position by listening to the sound? The sound of the horse's hooves on horseback will cover all his hearing!"
Ren Ruyu nodded in agreement, and then added: "He is very strong, and you may not be able to beat him even if you go crazy with all your might!"
"What do you mean to be crazy?" Ying Ziyu frantically, "I call it a fighting state!"
As he spoke, the man had already ridden into a ten-meter radius of the three of them.
Then, in a fraction of a second, he jerked the reins, and the horse let out a long neigh, and the man stood up, and a pair of front hooves kept stepping on a foot in front of Ying Ziyu and Ren Ruyu as if they were showing off their might.
Then the man on the horse pulled the reins again, and the tall horse's upright body fell to the side of the clearing, and landed on all fours. A man and a horse spun around twice in front of the three, and the horse listened calmly in front of the three, panting in his nostrils.
The man sitting on the high horse glanced at Ying Ziyu through the pair of eyeholes on his mask, and let out a low and powerful praise from his mouth: "Good archery!"
As he spoke, the man pointed to an arrow hole in the hem of his black cloak.
Ying Ziyu glanced at it casually and did not speak.
At this time, the man on the horse looked at Ren Ruyu's three-inch-long ancient sword that he pulled out with his backhand, and exclaimed: "You are also so determined!"
At this time, Ren Ruyu spoke coldly, and the emotion in her tone was indifference that rejected people thousands of miles away: "You don't need to use a condescending judgment posture to create psychological pressure on us as soon as you open your mouth." Except for the cat on top of this guy's head, you can't necessarily say who else you can beat!"
The man's body shrouded in black robes stiffened when he heard this, and then he shook his head and jumped off the horse.
When he landed, the man looked tall and burly, and when he removed the mask of the Exorcist Knight on his face, he revealed a middle-aged face with some stubble.
"If there is one person among the children of the Liu family who has the courage and courage of yours, then there will be no successor!"
The middle-aged man sighed like this at first, and then said to Wen Qianqian's archer: "Down is Liu Yifeng, the deacon of the third hall of the Lingjiang Liu family. I've seen Miss Wen Wen!"
"Oh?" Wen Qianqian glanced at the middle-aged uncle casually, and said lightly, "I haven't been to your Lingjiang Liu family, how do you recognize me?"
Liu Yifeng replied with a smile: "It was the city lord who sent a message to my Liu family saying that Miss Wen Wen would come to my Lingjiang Liu family tonight, and ordered me to wait for a good student to entertain me, and not to slack off!"
"Daddy?" Wen Qianqian was finally surprised.
At this time, Ying Ziyu leaned into Wen Qianqian's ear and whispered: "Shouldn't you call him Wenyu?
Wen Qianqian also smiled when she heard this, and responded in his ear: "I'll give him a little face in front of outsiders!"
Ying Ziyu sighed in his heart when he heard this: If your father and mother are hurt, you are willful!
Then Ying Ziyu suddenly looked at Liu Yifeng and said suspiciously: "Have we ever met? Why do I think you look at Mian Shan? Liu Yifeng's name is also familiar?"
Wen Qianqian's heart was immediately tightened when she heard this.
