Chapter 114: New Discoveries
"Haha, these female disciples of yours are good, although they are still young, they are agile. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhao Hongqiang said as he stood on the edge of the woods.
"Mr. Zhao has won the award, they are all children who have never seen the world, and this trip is just to take them out to experience the experience." As he spoke, he looked at his two female disciples leaning against the tree, like himself, withdrawn and didn't like to talk.
Looking back at a few male disciples who were carrying items and walking cautiously in the swamp, he couldn't help but think in his heart, who set up the maze here, which is extremely similar to some formations in the Hundred Poison Gate, could it be his own people, but who is it, and he has not found a trace of it until now.
Suddenly, the disciple who was carrying the items he was looking at suddenly fell to the ground in the swamp, and the person behind him also followed, quietly, as if no one else had discovered it except himself, because some of the disciples who had the ability and had been in the field for a long time were scattered to the front to explore the way, and the people who carried things behind were all new disciples, with low qualifications, and could only carry things in the back, so naturally no one would pay attention.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Poison Zun's face began to darken, and he beckoned to his female disciple, seeing her quickly running over: "Master, what are your orders?" Wan'er bent down and said respectfully.
"You quickly send a signal for all the disciples to gather here, and I will count the number of people." After Poison Zun finished speaking, he watched the female disciple leave quickly, and then walked to Zhao Hongqiang's side.
"Mr. Zhao, I see that you also count the number of people, by the way, repair it here, and let's set off again." As he spoke, Poison Venerable looked at the foggy swamp behind him again, and at this time, the two fallen disciples had disappeared into the thick fog, not knowing if they could still come over.
Zhao Hongqiang saw that Poison Zun's eyes were constantly flashing, and he pinched his chin thoughtfully, and instantly understood what Poison Zun meant, and hurriedly shouted to the mercenaries beside him: "Hurry up and gather, count the number of people, there may be enemies ambushing nearby, see if we have any losses." ”
After half a day's effort, the disciples who explored the path in front of the Hundred Poison Gate came back, and the poison venerable took a look, the disciples he brought out of the door on this trip plus those who tracked Lin Tao in the early stage, a total of thirty-five people, except for the five people who stayed outside, now there are only twenty people left, and there are ten fewer people unconsciously.
And Zhao Hongqiang's people also lost a lot, and the mercenary team of twenty people was also missing three people for no reason.
However, Zhao Hongqiang's calm appearance made Poison Zun admire it very much, discussed it with Poison Zun, paused the advance, and asked the mercenaries and the disciples of the Hundred Poison Sect to work in groups of three to clean the lot behind him to see what made the two parties suffer such heavy losses.
"Senior brother, what should we do?" Zhao Suyi whispered in the ear of the little elder brother, the two of them were hiding in a towering tree on the edge of the swamp, and they were at least thirty or forty meters away from the ground, and it was easy to see the situation below.
"Don't worry, according to the report of the secret sentinel just now, thirteen people have been assassinated, you see they only found out now, this is not recovered, but when they found the body, our people have already been transferred, I hope they will not be caught." The senior brother said comfortingly.
It took nearly half a day for the two sides to find the bodies of 13 people, but they found that some of them had been groped in the neck, and some were fatally shot.
"It seems that we have walked into the enemy's ambush circle and become prey, did Lin Tao find help?" Zhao Hongqiang looked at the corpse on the ground and said.
"Not necessarily, these people are all fatal with one blow, judging from the situation we have detected, Lin Tao definitely does not have such skills, and it is impossible to invite such powerful foreign aid, now in addition to first-class killers in China, in order to kill people unconsciously without being discovered in the case of so many people, but Lin Tao should not have the ability to contact them, it seems that someone is deliberately blocking our progress."
"Lord Poison Venerable can't be scheming, he can see it so thoroughly." Zhao Hongqiang said that the eyes that looked at the poison venerable had changed, although he looked old and frail, and he was not as old as himself, but he knew much more about the situation in the country than himself, so he still had to watch out for him.
"From now on, cancel the pathfinders, and all move forward together, so as not to be assassinated again, we are in the light, the enemy is in the dark, and this place is too dangerous like a labyrinth, let me think of walking in the front." The poison lord gave the order, and the others began to set off.
"Senior brother, they're leaving." Zhao Suyi immediately answered the receiver and said to the contemplative senior brother.
Senior Brother An Gu nodded, and after thinking for a while, he picked up the communicator and gave an order to the three secret sentinels: "Attention, now all withdraw to the periphery of the swamp and wait for them to come out." ”
Zhao Suyi immediately became anxious when he heard this: "Senior brother, but the second senior brother is still following Lin Tao and them, what if they are encountered by the people of the Hundred Poison Gate, he is alone, and the other party is a team of dozens of people." ”
The senior brother also looked at the dense fog below with some concern: "It can only be up to him, I hope I don't meet it, no matter what, we must complete the task this time." ”
Zhao Suyi gritted his teeth, allowing himself to watch the second senior brother being besieged by others, but he couldn't help, which he couldn't do anyway.
……
Lin Tao looked gloomy at the fat man, and it was useless to comfort himself for a long time, and after thinking about it, he couldn't delay time here, so he had to let Zhang Yue'er accompany the fat man, and he first walked into a passage to explore the way, planning to call the two of them over after making sure it was safe.
There are a lot of curves in the passage in front of him, but Lin Tao found a flashlight on the ground that has run out of power, looking at the style, it should be left by the fifth master, Lin Tao stood up a little excitedly, and ran quickly, for so long, he finally found a little clue.
Lin Tao ran for a long time when he saw a place that looked like a living room, and it seemed that someone had come, and there was still a flame floating in the brazier next to the wall that had not yet been extinguished.
This is Lin Tao's feet as if he stepped on something, lowered his head and picked it up, it was actually a bullet shell, and there were a lot of scattered ground around him, and Lin Tao also found a lot of bloodstains.
Could it be that the fifth master has had a shootout here, but who is their opponent?
Lin Tao couldn't help but be cautious thinking about it, and searched carefully around, and sure enough, he found many round holes the size of a basin in the wall, which were bottomless and black, but there was a strong smell of blood.
After looking at it, Lin Tao hurriedly retreated to the entrance of the passage just now, calmed down and listened carefully for a long time, making sure that there was nothing else here except himself, so he quickly turned back and told the fat man the good news, he would definitely be full of his fighting spirit again.
