Chapter Ninety-Four: The Praying Mantis and the Cicada
He Nuo walked to the north gate and found that the carvings on the walls inside depicted some icy and snowy scenery, which reminded him of the magical country north of the Jinyang Dynasty - Yan Kingdom, and the magical stories that happened in Longyin Mountain.
I don't know if it's a psychological reason, He Nuo felt a chill coming out of the room, he rubbed his hands and continued to move forward.
Along the way, He Nuo has encountered such a situation many times, and there is darkness in front of him, but he has been accompanied by people before, and it is rare for such a situation to occur, alone in the boundless darkness, walking alone.
This feeling is very peculiar, as if the world is so big that you are alone.
He Nuo could hear the sound of the wind in his ears, and he inexplicably felt his chest beating incessantly, but he knew that he didn't feel flustered at all, He Nuo touched his chest, and felt the ancient jade engraved with the word "wind", and after a long silence, something strange happened again.
But the difference this time is that the ancient jade did not tremble violently, but gently shook in one direction very regularly, He Nuo looked at the depths of the darkness, took a deep breath, and felt that there was something in this darkness, and this ancient jade seemed to have spirituality, very scared, kept shaking back, unwilling to go deep into the darkness.
He Nuo no longer had any worries because he was alone at this time, reached into his arms, took out the ancient jade, and stretched out his hand to check it, but the ancient jade shrank into its hand, as if he was afraid of everything he encountered before.
But after this experience, He Nuo is no longer the young man who didn't know anything when he first entered the Qianran Underground Palace, and he is more excited at the moment, because whenever something strange happens to Gu Yu, He Nuo can always find something wonderful.
He Nuo walked very fast, he thought about it, and didn't take out the black rod to illuminate, he knew that at this time, concealment was crucial.
"Haha!" He Nuo suddenly heard a burst of laughter, which laughed unscrupulously and cheerfully, as if it was an outburst after being suppressed for a long time.
But He Nuo heard that this voice was the Rong Ying they had just tracked down!
He Nuo did not attack rashly, but quietly hid aside, leaning against a hidden corner at the foot of the wall, silently observing Rong Ying.
I saw Rong Ying holding a wooden box in his hand, and the outer box of the wooden box was embedded with some moonstones, emitting a dim light, from these lights, He Nuo could see the expression on Rong Ying's face, which was an expression mixed with greed and ecstasy.
"Who is it?" Rong Ying turned his head abruptly and yelled behind his back.
He Nuo felt a sigh in his heart, thinking that he had been discovered by Rong Ying, but even in this situation, He Nuo still kept his head clear, knowing that he was motionless just now, and it was unlikely that he would be discovered like this, so he did not rush out, but still hid in this hidden corner.
He Nuo then quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, Rong Ying hadn't found out yet.
A person slowly stepped forward, extremely blatant, holding a fluorescent black rod in his hand, staring at the wooden box in Rong Ying's hand, and said directly before he could stand firmly, "Hand it over!" ”
Rong Ying also saw the person in front of him clearly at this time, and said lightly, "Mu Jiangliu, I thought you were an incompetent little character, but I didn't expect that there were some means to follow here." ”
The person who appeared in the darkness was indeed Mu Jiangliu, Mu Yanxi's brother, he suddenly disappeared in the darkness on the fifth floor of the Qianran Underground Palace, and he never appeared again, and now he appeared here like this, which made He Nuo very surprised.
Because of Mu Yanxi's relationship, He Nuo knows Mu Jiangliu quite well, and knows that although he is quite good in the younger generation on weekdays, he is not as good as He Qingping and He Huaixin, these rising stars, he only has one identity that is slightly special, he is a student of Lu Yuchu, the elder brother of the right governor and Queen Lu, but he is the only apprentice who Lu Yuchu has taken the initiative for so many years.
In the past, He Nuo had a good relationship with Mu Jiangliu, but with Mu Jiangliu's sneak attack on Meng Xiaochen during the Qingcang Meeting, He Nuo basically ignored Mu Jiangliu.
And after that, Mu Jiangliu's nature was even more revealed, and the sudden disappearance on the fifth layer of the Qianran Dungeon had caused them a lot of trouble.
Because of He Nuo's caution just now, Mu Jiangliu didn't find He Nuo, and he put all his energy on the wooden box in Rong Ying's hand, and his eyes were full of greed.
"Why did you choose the North Gate too?" Youngyoung asked.
Mu Jiangliu pursed his lips, "Do you think you are the only one who knows the secret of the Soul Overlord Sword Technique?" Don't think you're in the Eagle Guard, you know everything about the world. ”
He Nuo heard that Mu Jiangliu did not directly answer Rong Ying's question, he seemed to be hiding something.
Rong Ying said lightly, "In this Qianran Underground Palace, you will not be my opponent, I think you are the grandson of Mu Xiangye, I don't want to embarrass you, just leave with interest, I will not meet you." ”
Mu Jiangliu snorted coldly, "Hand over the wooden box, otherwise, I can give it to you in the same way." You know, you offended me, and you're still lying in bed at the moment, don't you want to be like that? ”
As soon as Mu Jiangliu's words fell, Rong Ying suddenly lifted the wooden box, jumped forward three steps, and slapped directly to the side of the wall.
Seeing Rong Ying's move, Mu Jiangliu's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly took three steps back.
He Nuo didn't understand why Mu Jiangliu was afraid, so he saw rows of feather arrows shooting, just shooting at the position where Mu Jiangliu was standing just now.
But Mu Jiangliu was not to be outdone, clasped his fingers, and gently tapped the floor, this time it was Rong Ying's turn to retreat. He didn't seem to dare to delay in the slightest, and just took three steps back, only to see the same row of feathered arrows volleying out of the air.
He Nuo watched in the dark, he himself was here for the first time, and he didn't know anything about the surrounding environment, but Mu Jiangliu and Rong Ying seemed to know everything about the mechanisms here, and the two hardly fought directly, but with these cleverly designed mechanisms, it was also difficult to fight.
In the third round, Rong Ying did not retreat in time, and a feather arrow came towards Rong Ying's head, and Rong Ying subconsciously raised the wooden box to block it.
But the remaining momentum of the feather arrow was very strong, Rong Ying's hand was numb, and he didn't hold it steady, and the wooden box could no longer be held, and it fell to the ground, just split into two halves, revealing a set of bamboo slips.
He Nuo turned his head to look at it, and it seemed to be very similar to the gradual similarity of the Soul Overlord Sword Technique he had seen before, so he couldn't help but tilt his head and take a few more looks.
But Rongying's voice came, "Don't fight, be careful that the two of us haven't been able to distinguish who is the praying mantis and who is the cicada, and we will be caught by the hidden sparrows." ”
When He Nuo heard this, his heart froze, "Oh no, it's really discovered now." ”
