Chapter 468: Three Xuanli Arrows
In front of the entrance of the cave, watching Ning Yue enter the cave, Meng Ye nervously tugged at Lei Jiang's sleeve and asked softly, "Lord Ning Yue going alone, will it be too dangerous?"
"It's definitely safer for him to go alone than for us to go together. Don't you know that he has a special method of concealment?" Lei Jiang smiled casually, but that smile was somewhat reluctant. As he spoke, he was actually muttering in his heart.
Does the ability to conceal vision really work for hunters who inhabit dark caves?
Ahead, the famous sword sect disciple who had questioned Ning Yue before spat on it, stomped his foot again, turned his head to look at the rest of the sect people on the side, and said, "Hey, when we first met him last night, he claimed that the leader of the demonic beasts who was in the way at the previous mountain pass was cleaned up by him, is this really the case?"
"I don't know. The other party hurriedly shook his head.
"Hmph, I knew he was talking nonsense. It's just a chop that wants to take the opportunity to make some cheap offal, and after picking up the cheap, I still want to be greedy, and I don't know what to do. If you want to pretend to be successful, go ahead. ”
The Famous Sword Sect disciple stomped his feet again, turned around and walked back to where the rest of the senior brothers were.
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, a shout sounded behind him, he was stunned, turned his head to look, but saw a thin young man standing there, with an angry face.
"What's wrong?"
"You are not allowed to slander Lord Ning Yue! When he comes back, he must apologize!" Meng Ye raised his voice and glared angrily.
On his side, Lei Jiang shook his head helplessly and sighed, "What are you doing out there?"
The disciple's face sank, and he said, "Oh, I didn't expect that kind of miscellaneous things, and there are companions? Well, by the way, the one next to you, I also saw it last night, and I was with him." Apologize? I see, you've done the opposite, right?"
In the next moment, nearly ten disciples of the Famous Sword Sect stepped forward in unison, all of them waiting for each other. They all raised their hands to grasp the hilt of their swords.
"Meng Ye, step aside. ”
Lei Jiang's face changed slightly, and he stepped out of his cross arm to stop in front of Meng Ye, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Ning Yue, you've left me in a big trouble!"
......
In the cave road, it was dark. Ning Yue could only use the condensed flame in his palm to illuminate, the pace of progress was not slow, in his mind, the initial road, at least before the fork in the road, had already been walked before, and it stands to reason that there would be no danger. Moreover, this place is relatively close to the outside world, even if there are some predator monsters inhabited in the cave, they will not choose to rest in such a remote position.
At first, the road was straight and uneventful, but after a few hundred meters there was a turn, and the road began to narrow with several twists and turns. After passing through, the front gradually widened again, Ning Yue began to slow down, and after walking dozens of steps, suddenly, he stopped.
"I guess, I'm not mistaken, right?"
The flame in his palm went out, and at the same time, he closed his eyes. After a short while, his eyes opened again, and he changed from light to darkness, or from darkness to light, and his vision was temporarily severely affected, making it difficult to distinguish objects, and he needed to adjust himself.
Soon, Ning Yue got the answer in his heart, it was not his own illusion, the road ahead was no longer completely dark, but was filled with a layer of faint light, and he could barely see the appearance ahead.
"It's really weird here. ”
As we continued, the front grew wider and brighter. The source of the light is also gradually becoming clear. On the stone walls on both sides, as well as at the top of the top, there are some stones embedded in them that glow with different shades of light. It's not artificial, it's natural.
Here, it turned out to be a fluorite mine!
"No wonder, it's getting more and more spacious. ”
Touching the stone walls on the side, Ning Yue finally noticed that on these stone walls, traces of digging and digging could be found, perhaps many years ago, this place was excavated as a mining cave, but then for some reason, it was abandoned.
The further he went, the more obvious the marks became, and when he came out of a cave, he was greeted by a spacious cave with a little light spot at the top of the top, slightly starry. Below, on the relatively flat ground, you can still see a few collapsed discarded instruments, which have long since decayed and only have their rough outlines left.
His eyes continued to scan, in addition to those instruments, on the road that continued to lead to the front, Ning Yue made a more important discovery, and at that moment, his heart was also suddenly cold.
On the ground, due to the fall of dust from the cave, few people came, and it had already accumulated a thick layer. However, because of the recent intruder, a few lines of fresh footprints were left on the ground. However, at the very point of stepping onto a deep pit bridge in front of them, in addition to human shoe prints, there were other footprints, traces left by some kind of non-human creature.
Hurriedly approaching and leaning over to take a look, Ning Yue touched the different footprints, with a few sticky water stains. Then I glanced forward and looked at the deep pit under the bridge, but I saw darkness and I couldn't see the bottom. However, on the side stone wall, with the help of the glow of the fluorite above, it is possible to barely make out a few damp footprints in the road.
To be precise, it should be paw prints.
After weighing it in his heart a few times, Ning Yue gave up the idea of throwing flames into the pit. In case there are more unknown demonic beasts inhabiting the area, and they are all awakened by his shock, and rush out like a tide, it will be a big trouble.
Slow down and quickly pass this quaint stone bridge, the road ahead is narrow again, and there are a lot less fluorites embedded in the mountain rocks on both sides, and the light is a little dim.
After a few more moments, he stopped again, and on the stone wall on the side, a sword mark was very fresh, and below it, a few blood stains had not yet condensed.
"Was it a sneak attack, or did you spot a trailer?"
There were no corpses nearby, Ning Yue quickened his pace forward, and not long after, there was a commotion in front of him, the sound of roars, and the sound of sword tears blending together.
Apparently, the battle has begun.
Zheng –
Even if the people in front of him were all disgusting people from the Famous Sword Sect, if they wanted to pass through here more smoothly, their help was also indispensable.
He must help.
Rushing out of another hole, he came to a relatively open place again, and the sound in front of him was even louder, and there was a strong smell of blood rushing towards him. Here, thousands of fluorites shine on the top stone wall, and the light sprinkles over the entire cave, which is not as bright as day, but it has reached the brightness of the flickering lights in the dark night house.
At this moment, Ning Yue's face changed slightly, with a hint of surprise.
On the ground below, hundreds of brown-black figures roared and rushed forward, like a tidal wave. At the end of their attack, five figures danced in the roar of sword light, keeping the last small piece of territory unviolated. Among their guards, two others fell to the ground, apparently wounded.
The attacking beast was humanoid, but it crawled quickly on all fours, with bent bone spurs on its back, slender forearms, and sharp claws. A single force may not be strong, but there are too many of them, even if there are elders with the strength of the famous Sword Sect Wind Realm, they can only be trapped in a small area, unable to break through.
Or, it was no problem for him to break through alone, but he couldn't leave with all the disciples here, especially two people who were seriously injured and fell to the ground.
Behind a few people, there is an abyss. Where they stood was an incomplete suspension bridge, which had collapsed at the end and had no place to stand. On the other side of the distance, the other half of the suspension bridge was intact, but it was pulled into the air by ropes and not put down.
At such a distance, counting the height, even if it is a strong person in the Wind Riding Realm, without the assistance of special body martial arts, it is extremely difficult to reach the suspension bridge that is dragged up on the opposite side. Moreover, even if the suspension bridge on that side is successfully lowered, due to the breaking of the wooden bridge on this side, it will not be successfully docked, and the remaining distance of six or seven meters will be left.
This distance is a breeze for those who are strong in the Wind Riding Realm. But for the Spirit Awakening Realm, it was too reluctant.
If you can't reach the opposite side, it's not that you can't put down the suspension bridge, you just need to cut the rope that pulls the suspension bridge from a distance. However, there are two ropes, and if you want to attack from a distance, you need to cut them at least twice. The distance is more than thirty meters, there is no special weapon or martial arts, and two chances can definitely be completed. And the current few famous people in the Sword Sect obviously do not have this condition. Their blades are only one saber per person, and if they are thrown rashly, once they miss, they will lose their blades, and their combat power will be greatly reduced.
As a result, the seven had to retreat to the end of the broken bridge and support them to the death. Perhaps because of the fear of the carrying capacity of the wooden bridge, those attacking demonic beasts would not all be dispatched every time, crowding the broken bridge, but it also gave the famous sword gate a chance to breathe.
"Choiceless choice. Since he sensed that something was wrong, he still had to rush to such a deep end, and under such consumption, he would only die of exhaustion in the end. Thankfully, I came. ”
Ning Yue shook his head and sighed, and the next moment, the index finger of his left hand pointed out from afar, in the middle of the black ring, the cross inscription flashed a pale halo, and the ten-star crossbow arrow instantly condensed and emerged, and the sharp arrow was wound, aiming at the hanging rope in the distance.
He took another deep breath before shooting. Shooting from the position of the seven people of the famous Sword Gate, he was sure to hit the hanging rope with one blow. But with the position he was standing now, the distance was nearly 100 meters, and at such a distance, the rope was as thick as a hair in his eyes, and it was undoubtedly difficult to lock it.
Therefore, he still chose to fire three arrows at once, relying on quantity to make up for the lack of accuracy. However, by doing so, the next time the arrow condenses and then fires, it will be slower. And once the arrow is fired, whether it hits or not, the sound of the whistling and breaking through the air is likely to attract the attention of those demonic beasts, and now that he is safe and sound, he will become the target of everyone.
The arrow is on the string and has to be sent. Once you shoot, there's no turning back. Ning Yue knew these very well in his heart. The only way to go back is to aim at a distance, not close. At least, there are a lot more chances of escaping here. If you go deep into the herd, it's not easy to leave.
"Famous Sword Gate, this blow is gambling on your fate and my chance!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three arrows of Xuanli shot out, like meteors, piercing through the void of the cave, roaring forward.
In the noisy fierce battle, these three almost continuous sounds of breaking the air were not enough to attract attention, but there was no one and no beast that did not notice.
Below, several demonic beasts sensed the movement and subconsciously raised their heads. At the same time, the elder of the famous Sword Sect also caught a glimpse. Where their common gaze was locked, three arrows hit the high-altitude rope in the distance, and two shots missed, but the last one hit the middle of the rope, and the sharp energy easily cut the rope!
Knock –
Losing the pull of a rope, the suspension bridge in mid-air trembled and crumbled. However, with the traction of a sling, it is still impossible to fall.
Roar Roar Roar
The next moment, a roar erupted from the herd, and nearly half of the demonic beasts looked back together, and soon, their eyes fell on the figure at the entrance of the cave.
On the index finger, the new power was still condensing, and Ning Yue crossed the sword in his right hand, sighing helplessly.
"I knew it was going to be like this. Then - take another gamble!"
