Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Opportunity Comes
"The hoof is in front, and the one behind is following. ”
"Follow your own captain and speed up!"
A rapid shout was heard, and a slender marching array rushed out of the mountain.
The armor held their torches to illuminate the rugged terrain beneath their feet, and under the urging of the hundred generals, they raised their speed and rushed towards a place next to the swamp.
Nie stealth was wearing black armor, sitting on a scaly horse, with several lords, patrolling in the queue, his eyebrows shrunk, obviously preoccupied, staring at the hoof beast footprints spreading forward on the ground, his eyes flashed slightly... If it weren't for the discovery of the hoofed beast this time, he would have been doomed.
Nie Yin raised his head and said to Mojiang Huangzhen and Qin Nan beside him: "The Tang family seems to have turned back because a child in the family was injured, and they plan to go to the main city of Black Snake, and they will no longer follow me and wait. ”
When Huang Zhen heard this, his expression was a little confused, and he said in surprise: "What's the matter with the Tang family, they chose to give up when they found such an important clue?"
There is not a lot of dealings between Beiyun City and Wood Spirit City, he knows very well Tang Zhen's personality, this person has always picked up when he has a bargain, and takes advantage of it if he has merit, he is an extremely shrewd family master, otherwise the Tang family would not have developed more powerful than their Lord of Wood Spirit City, and now his Tang family has found the footprints of the hoof beast, which is a credit that can be greatly invited to the clan, but he chose to give up, is this really because of a child?
Huang Zhen was faintly uneasy.
Nie Yin didn't answer, he lowered his body and changed the subject: "It doesn't matter whether the Tang family is leaving or staying now, the important thing is that according to my speculation, it is very likely that this hoof beast has not yet entered the berserk. ”
"What?"
Huang Zhen, Mo Jiang and Qin Nan's faces changed, Mo Jiang's expression moved, stopped the scale horse that was driving, turned over and dismounted, he raised the torch to reflect the land, and his eyes were projected into the devastated seal pit underground, and then his complexion changed, only to see that in those seal pits, most of the hoof prints were extremely clear, and the hoof pit was very shallow, Mo Jiang pressed his fingers down the surrounding soil, and nodded affirmatively, "The stationmaster is right, this kind of soil, plus the hoof prints are so shallow, there is only one possibility." ”
Huang Zhen and Qin Nan looked at each other, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted, looking at the hoof beast marks on the ground.
"That's right, it's true that you haven't entered the rage!" Huang Zhen nodded heavily, reaffirming what Nie Yin said.
Qin Nan stood up with an excited face and shouted: "Accelerate forward, accelerate forward, the hoof beast is in front!"
Torches flickered in a row, heading out into the depths of the dark beast circle with a more rapid pace.
......
Among the beast carts.
Qing Yan sat in the corner, rarely stopping his cultivation at the seams, but his eyebrows were deep, thinking about the mysterious man in his heart.
The behavior of the powerhouse of the Four Domains is quite strange, he seems to be deliberately targeting the Tang family, whether it is Tang Ming's attack or Tang Zhong being lured, it is revealed everywhere that this powerhouse of the Four Domains is dissatisfied with the Tang family, but the problem is, this powerhouse of the Four Domains does not seem to have anything to do with the Tang family, and it seems that what this person does seems to be casual, and it seems that the Tang family is not pleasing to the eye?
Qingyan muttered: "Tang Zhong, Tang Zhong, there is such an unfortunate thing that happened to you, and it is a correct decision for you to leave." ”
The Tang family was afraid of the mysterious man, and had already retreated, of course, this matter was also kept secret by Nie Yin, except for Qingyan at the scene, but no one knew, Qingyan left early when Nie Yin arrived, so the stationmaster must not know that there was a person who kept this shocking secret from him.
Qingyan sighed slightly, his eyes looked at the Sanhe swamp in the distance, there was an inexplicable irritability in his expression, in his heart, how could he not be afraid of the black-robed man, Nie Yin should think the same as him at this time, I hope to look for it again, that figure will not appear like a ghost, if he encounters that existence again, he will serve on the northern front, and the annihilation of the whole army will be the most normal result.
But the stationmaster Nie Yin had to move forward at this time, and he was more like a barefoot person who was not afraid of wearing shoes, so he ran directly when he saw that the situation was not good... Qingyan thought about this, the atmosphere was a little warm, and he turned his head to look at the spirit level, these people seemed to be discussing something.
"Among the spirit level, which one is like an ivory tower as those ignorant earth level say? These people don't know the cruelty of the spirit level, and the competitive pressure of the reserve can only be blamed for sprinkling water in front of the Hidden Dragon Temple. ”
A spirit level in Rust City echoed: "Yes, I heard that each grade will hold a knockout competition, and if you are not careful, you will be eliminated, and the Hidden Dragon Temple where I wait for the spirit level is only the outer courtyard of the West Mansion, and I can only go to the inner courtyard after staying for three years, that is to say, I must ensure that I will not be eliminated for three years before I can have the opportunity to stand out in the temple area of the inner courtyard." ”
Shen Xing said with a snicker: "I heard that the inner courtyard is in the Great Xia King City in the extreme north, where the royal veins of the Great Xia clan are located, it is extremely prosperous, in addition to the inner courtyard, there are many powerful gate valves stationed, if you are lucky enough to see it, it is really in vain." Then Shen Xing quickly replied to the indifferent expression, and said irrelevantly: "But the assessment is too difficult, and it's basically no fun." ”
When the surrounding figures heard this, they were also chattering, and they were a little yearning, and in the middle of the carriage, a Mocheng spirit-level Hu Yuan shook his head, turned around and said: "The royal city has long since declined, three years later, if I successfully graduate in Xifu, the place I will enter is the Hidden Dragon Temple in Beifu, and the Hidden Dragon Temple in Wangcheng? ”
When Shen Xing heard this, his thick little face suddenly couldn't be contained, and he shouted: "You are talking nonsense, how can the royal city fall, do you know what the clan is? All the prefectures and clans are all divided by the royal veins of the royal city, even if all the mansions are dead, nothing will happen to the royal city!" Someone nodded, using the legend passed down by word of mouth to refute: "The Xia King of Great Xia is already immortal, and with him, it is impossible for the royal city to decline." ”
Hu Yuan's eyes had a hint of disdain: "King Xia? Do you know how many years it has been since there has been a Xia King in Great Xia? Do you know that even the princes surnamed Ji in Xifu have been autonomous in the past two years? Since a war more than ten years ago, only the ruins of the royal city remained, and now it has become a veritable gray area, and the taxes paid by the people are less than one-tenth of the Daliang Mansion, King Xia?"
The surrounding teenagers and girls were stunned by these words.
Hu Yuanyan lightly swept the dumb gaze around him, and said proudly at the corner of his mouth: "Although this matter is not confidential, it is not explicit in the Hidden Dragon Temple, and it is normal for you not to know, even I knew about it by chance from my second uncle, who was a general." ”
In fact, even many lords have heard of this kind of thing, but it is related to this iron-like tradition, and no one has ever dared to openly criticize the ethereal situation outside the Western Mansion, and they have all heard it, but then again, in fact, whether there is a Xia King authority or not, there is no direct relationship with the northern realm, his eyes glanced at Shen Xing on the side, the latter's chubby little face changed, he was speechless, but he couldn't squeeze out a refutation, Qingyan silently turned his head away, he was different from all the children around him who were going to go to the Black Snake Main City to participate in the spirit level ranking, he didn't have to know too much about this kind of question about where the inner courtyard was。
The beast cart was gentle, and a trace of tiredness came up, Qingyan silently lowered his head and closed his eyes to recuperate, no longer paying attention to the arguments of these teenagers.
Torches shone on the long serpent-like march of the northern front, and the queue stretched to the other end of the swamp, and in the dim moonlight ahead, the wetlands turned into ridges and jungles, and the shore of the swamp of the three rivers began to contact the plain where the main city of Black Snake was located... Another hour passed, the night was getting deeper and deeper, and the spirit level gradually wore out the novelty, and couldn't help but doze off in the beast car, at this moment, a strange sound sounded, and several powerful spirit level in the carriage suddenly raised their heads.
"What a sound. ”
"What's going on out there?"
There was a strange movement outside the carriage, and the beast car suddenly became noisy, and many people looked outside, only to see the queue of long snakes instantly raising their necks and flicking torches.
"Found the hoof!"
"The whole army is ready, the whole army is ready!"
Loud roars came from all directions, and the entire northern front army began to form a queue in a hurry.
A quartermaster distributed weapons to the soldiers along the way, and when he passed by the beast cart where the family of the big clan was, he slammed it, jumped on the beast cart, and said loudly: "Listen, Lao Tzu doesn't care about your family's background, I want to choose a few people among you to come forward to support, as for the others, they must not leave!"
Without waiting for the spirit level to respond, he took out a few heavy iron bows that were as wide as their height, and pointed at a spirit level from Mo City, "You, take it." ”
A heavy stainless steel heavy bow was thrown, and the Mo Cheng Spirit Level stared, and the back armor domain power that had reached the ninth level of his hand poured out, and he caught the heavy bow, looking extremely capable, obviously, after Tang Zhong left, his strength was already the most top-notch in this carriage.
Bang.
The Mocheng spirit jumped out of the beast cart neatly, endured a lot of curious and envious eyes, and left with a heavy bow, the officer nodded slightly, and pointed to the other three good-looking teenagers, and left the carriage.
"Qingyan, you were also assigned?"
Shen Xing exclaimed at Qingyan beside him, his eyebrows condensed with doubts, he hadn't been assigned a single eighth-level spirit level to the heavy bow, why was this only ground level in the eyes of the quartermaster?
Qingyan nodded casually, and jumped out of the carriage without looking back, he didn't care if he had this heavy bow in his hand or not, he wouldn't stay in the carriage without him anyway.
Running forward along the array, he soon saw the neighing mountain stream in front of him, the corners of his mouth raised a mysterious smile, his fist bones slowly clenched, he wasted so many days, endured so many strange eyes, and now, as expected.
The opportunity has finally arrived.
