Chapter 171: Exploring the Depths of the Fog (Three Watches, Seeking Collection, Seeking Recommendation)
Huo Xiu raised his eyebrows, as if he had long expected that the Ning Mansion Lord would be so suspicious. However, there is nothing to hide from this.
It was Huo Xiu who smiled slightly and said, "Back to the Ning Mansion Lord, before I arrived here, I found that Qin Sheng, the acting captain of our Shiban team, was being invaded by those tree roots. To save him, I kicked off all the roots. Unexpectedly, Captain Qin actually stood up and launched an attack on me. I got ahead of the curve and wounded him with a blow before he could fully get used to it. However, four or five tree roots suddenly stretched out from Captain Qin's wound and pounced on me, and in desperation, I had no choice but to flee. happened to see this brother in distress, so he immediately came to help. ”
The Lord of the Ning Mansion listened silently, and then frowned tightly and began to question.
"Huo Xiu, your captain has been invaded by tree roots, why are you safe and sound?"
Huo Xiu's mouth widened, and he said with a blank expression: "As soon as we entered Xiaolin Village, we were separated in the fog. By the time I was lucky enough to run into Qin Sheng, he was already like that. ”
Huo Xiu knew that he must not expose all his hole cards. Moreover, this fog is indeed weird, and if you are not careful, you may be hit.
At this time, the Ning Mansion Lord nodded, noncommittal to Huo Xiu's explanation.
Then, he turned around and asked Ye Heng, "Ye Heng, who was that horse-faced martial artist just now?"
The Lord of the Ning Mansion is in charge of the entire Tantang, so naturally it is impossible for everyone to know it. Although the warrior he killed just now was also wearing a hall uniform, he was not very familiar.
Ye Heng was very aware of the situation, and immediately stepped forward: "Back to the Ning Mansion Lord, that martial artist is Zhang Ming, the deputy captain of the 19th team, and he is also the martial artist who came with me last time. When I saw him, I somehow thought he was still alive, so I rushed at once. ”
The Lord of the Ning Mansion lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "It's not your fault, you should have been disturbed by the fog just now, which led to a wrong judgment." And that guy's appearance is no different from ordinary people, at first glance, it is difficult to find the clues......"
As he spoke, the Ning Mansion Lord suddenly stopped, he seemed to think of something, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.
At this moment, Ye Heng suddenly blurted out.
"Could it be, that Sun Yan, who pretended to be crazy and stupid at the entrance of Xiaolin Village before, has also been transformed by the roots!"
When everyone heard this, they were immediately in an uproar. You know, they only left a small team outside to take care of the horses, if that Sun Yan deceived everyone and suddenly burst out, those who stayed behind would probably be difficult to deal with.
In this way, their back road is also cut off. At the very least, it will take a bit of effort to get out of here.
At this moment, the Lord of Ning Mansion was also covered with cold sweat, and he held his breath and tried to calm himself.
After a long while, the Ning Mansion Lord let out a long breath. He looked up and shouted.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that we have lost a lot of personnel, if we don't hurry up and get rid of the demons hidden in Xiaolin Village, I'm afraid none of us will want to get out of the way. Now, everyone set off with me, and we must find out the guy who is hiding behind the scenes!"
The Lord of the Ning Mansion said, taking the lead and taking the lead in breaking into the thick fog.
In this way, Huo Xiu followed behind the team and headed towards the middle of Xiaolin Village.
This time, with the Ning Mansion Master, who was a martial artist in the late stage of the Clutch Realm, led the team, Huo Xiu's tense nerves finally relaxed.
However, deep down in his heart, there was still a trace of uneasiness.
"The combat power of the Ning Mansion Lord is outstanding, and when facing the puppet, it is simply easy to crush. And the remaining dozen or so martial artists are all strong-willed and experienced in battles, and it seems that it is difficult to be bewitched by the fog. But why do I still feel so upset?"
Huo Xiu's eyes rolled, and he already thought of the answer.
"Yes, along the way, we have always faced those roots buried in the ground, but we don't know anything about the black hands hidden behind the scenes. However, to be able to control such a strange tree root, it must be not bad in terms of strength. I just don't know if the Lord of Ning Mansion can deal with it. ”
Just as Huo Xiu was immersed in thought, suddenly, Ye Heng's voice came from the front of the team.
"We were lost around here last time, when the fog was so thick that we were both dizzy. As a result, many brothers encountered misfortunes, and I myself fought hard to escape. ”
The Ning Mansion Lord tilted his head and found that the fog in front of him was indeed much better than before.
He frowned, took a few steps forward, and then stood still.
"Get out of the way, and be careful not to get spilled over. ”
As he spoke, the Lord of the Ning Mansion kicked the ground with one foot and suddenly rose into the air.
Then, I saw him take a deep breath, fly up, and kick the fog in front of him fiercely.
"Storm and Clouds Break!"
In an instant, a loud noise erupted in front of the Lord of the Ning Mansion, as if a large amount of true qi exploded in an instant. The whole space seemed to be shaken.
The dense fog that blocked the front was also dispersed and became extremely thin.
"Let's go, bypass the intersection in front of us, and we will be able to enter the center of Kobayashi Village and find out the true face of the murderer behind the scenes. ”
The Lord of the Ning Mansion strode forward, wanting to take the lead in walking over.
At this moment, something suddenly changed on the road ahead.
I saw that the road surface collapsed and disintegrated in an instant, and countless jet-black tree roots stretched out of it. They danced constantly, as if trying to stop every intruder.
"Let's go together!"
With a wave of his hand, the martial artist behind him immediately responded, shouting and rushing forward.
Even though the Ning Mansion Lord was sure that he could completely destroy these tree roots that stood in his way within a few moves, he knew very well that he was about to face the owners of these tree roots. It's going to be an extremely tough opponent and he'll have to keep it up.
And these martial artists behind the Lord of the Ning Mansion did not disappoint him. It's just a cup of tea, and the roots that block it in front are dead and wounded, and the remaining stumps can only be waved weakly, and they don't pose any threat at all.
At this moment, Ye Heng rushed to the front: "Lord Ning, we have cleaned up these tree roots. You see, are we going to go over now? ”
The Lord of the Ning Mansion took a deep breath and said with a solemn face: "Inform everyone, you must be careful later, you must not act rashly, everything is under my command." Now, let's go. ”
After the Lord of the Ning Mansion finished speaking, he stepped out and walked in front.
When everyone saw this, they followed closely. They already hated these roots, and naturally wanted to destroy the real culprit lurking behind them as soon as possible.
Finally, when everyone turned the last intersection and entered the center of Xiaolin Village. Their breathing stopped abruptly, and their mouths opened involuntarily, as if frightened by the sight before them.
