In the cave of Wuming Mountain, Shi Fangtian and Hu Yanxue walked one after the other.

Inside the empty mountain, only the footsteps of two people were left to echo.

The occasional sound of rustling adds equanimity to the already oppressive atmosphere.

As Shi Fangtian went deeper, several corpses wearing miner's clothes gradually appeared in the mine.

Unlike Gan Guangyuan, the corpses of these miners were not shaped like dried corpses, but their entire bodies were purple, and black blood flowed from their eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

Look at this appearance, it looks like the man he met at the south gate of the Sealed Coffin Village.

In the same dead state, black bugs also appeared at the scene.

The scattered clues were quickly connected in Shi Fangtian's mind, and it was most likely that it was this black worm that really caused the mine to change.

As for the creeping corpse that the man said, it should have been controlled by Nie Ling later.

Thinking of Nie Ling, Shi Fangtian couldn't help but recall the appearance of her sitting on the ground and crying, revealing some love.

The rustling was getting louder and louder, and even the corpses of the miners around them were squirming, as if something was about to burst out.

Shi Fangtian and Hu Yanxue glanced at each other, the latter holding the hammer in both hands, and a powerful energy condensed on the stone hammer.

Hu Yanxue raised the sledgehammer above her head, and the green tendons on her hands and arms exploded, and then she let out a loud cry and slammed it down.

This is a landslide! , The violent shock wave seemed to be able to collapse even the entire mountain, but fortunately, Hu Yanxue controlled the force and just aimed the direction of the impact at the ground.

The jagged shockwave cut through the ground, and a patch of black, dense black, could be seen beneath the widening cracks.

Shi Fangtian's eyes flashed, and the cold air converged into a long river, irrigating it along the crack.

The spilled frost spread across the ground, engulfing corpse after corpse, enveloping them beneath ice crystals.

The frost mist spread out of the cracks, and it was already full of ice, and all the black was imprisoned in the crystal clear ice wall.

Shi Fangtian looked at the scene in front of him with a serious expression, and he said: "There are more and more of them, there must be a female worm that is particularly fertile in a swarm like this, otherwise they would not have such a scale." ”

Then he touched his chin and said to himself, "Gold mines, insect swarms, does anyone want to occupy the entire mine in this way?" ”

The letter of introduction from Hu Peng reminded Shi Fangtian that the difficulty that the merchant Ying Zixian was talking about was most likely the insect plague, and that Hu Peng was the expert sent by the Holy Council to solve the problem.

Hu Yanxue exuded electricity all over her body at this time, she stared closely at the dark depths in front of her, and whispered: "There is a strong smell of blood ahead. ”

The frost aura in Shi Fangtian's hand spread out to all sides again, seeping into the walls.

Only the sound of clapping hands was heard, and a figure gradually walked out of the darkness.

It was a man dressed in a black bodysuit with two purple lines near his chest, forming a simple beetle, and his left arm was tattooed with the symbol of "Funeral House".

"Insect plague..."

Shi Fangtian heard Hu Yanxue say these two words, a little confused, he was about to say something, but he didn't expect Hu Yanxue to understand what Shi Fangtian meant, she continued:

"This is the subordinate detachment of the funeral unit in the "funeral house" organization, one of the [seven plagues], the insect plague. ”

It was as if a stone had been thrown into the calm lake, and both Shi Fangtian and Hu Yanxue were no longer at peace in their hearts.

The funeral house, that was their common enemy, and now the insect plague detachment in the organization appeared in front of them.

The man opposite has slender eyebrows and sharp eyes, but he has a kind face, like a big brother next door.

He greeted the two with a smile and said, "Hello, let me introduce myself, I am Tao Jinran, the deputy captain of the funeral detachment of the funeral house, and I am very happy to meet you." ”

Tao Jinran's relaxed freehand is in stark contrast to Shi Fangtian's rivalry.

Vice-captain? Did they come up and let them meet such a high level?

The strong uneasiness gradually spread in Shi Fangtian's heart, and he was very clear about the ability of the "Funeral House". can be the vice captain of the detachment, and his strength must be comparable to ordinary people.

Tao Jinran looked at Hu Yanxue, the smile on his face deepened, and he asked, "Hu Yanxue, it's been a long time, how are you doing?" ”

Do they know? Shi Fangtian turned his head to look at Hu Yanxue beside him in shock, and found that she was clenching her teeth, and the anger in her eyes was about to come out.

"Oh yo, I'm sorry, I almost forgot, you must have been being hunted after you escaped from the underground fighting ring set up by the organization, right? I didn't expect you to have the leisure to play this game, haha. ”

Although Tao Jinran still had a gentle smile on his face, there was disdain and ridicule in his eyes.

He suddenly restrained his smile, his eyes narrowed slightly, and asked in a cold voice, "Outsiders, how did you know that secret?" ”

Hu Yanxue didn't speak, but with a force under her feet, she rushed to Tao Jinran between the flying sand and stones, and the hammer wind gusted.

Tao Jinran smiled coldly, and didn't see any movement from him, and suddenly there was a slender soft sword in his hand.

The soft blade of the sword met Hu Yanxue's heavy hammer, and the violent collision produced a wave of qi in circles and circles.

Although Tao Jinran's long sword was soft, it was not inferior to Hu Yanxue at all in the collision, and the straight sword body even had a tendency to force back the heavy hammer.

Boom!

A momentum suddenly burst out from the sword's body, directly shaking the thunder hammer and Hu Yanxue into the air.

Hu Yanxue's body flew upside down and hit the rock wall of the mine, blood flowing down the corner of her mouth.

Tao Jinran's face was full of playful expression, and he shook his head as he said, "Tut-tut, I didn't expect that after such a long time, you still only use brute force." ”

At this time, the chill spread instantly, directly freezing Tao Jinran's feet, and Shi Fangtian said coldly: "You are too rampant. ”

Dozens of cold blades formed in the air, and the frost wind howled, like a tornado, like a storm, rushing towards Tao Jin.

Tao Jinran's face still had a leisurely and complacent expression, as if the ice blade and the blizzard in front of him were just a wisp of spring style, harmless.

Tao Jinran didn't even bother to look at it, the soft sword in his hand was like a flexible long snake in the air, and it was like a hideous swimming dragon.

Under the sword, even the rushing ice blades could not break through this small long sword, and they were all slashed to the ground.

Tao Jinran smiled, he raised his foot, easily stepped on the ice under his feet, and said, "That's it? ”

Rumble!

Before Tao Jinran's words were finished, a figure rushed out of the smoke and dust, it was Hu Yanxue covered with green thunder.

She glanced at Shi Fangtian and shouted, "Xiaotian! ”

Shi Fangtian immediately realized, and the monstrous cold air rushed out along the frost mark sword, which actually gave people the illusion of turbulent waves.

The freezing effect brought by the [Frost Impact] made Tao Jinran instantly turn into an ice sculpture.

Hu Yanxue, who jumped in the air, condensed the green thunder all over her body into a tiny spike, but there was a huge amount of energy concentrated in it, which should not be underestimated.

With a whoosh, the [Green Thunder Break] shot towards Tao Jinran at a speed that was imperceptible to the naked eye, and even the air was distorted wherever it passed.

Seeing that the perfect cooperation between the two was about to defeat Tao Jinran, his contemptuous voice came from the ice sculpture: "Just a wooden thorn, dare to be ugly? ”

Several cracks appeared on the ice sculpture, and then shattered in a burst of gray light.

The soft sword in Tao Jinran's hand coiled into a circle after circle, like a spring in a charged force.

"Flick the sword!"

Tao Jinran roared, and the soft sword in his hand suddenly erupted with huge power, directly shaking Hu Yanxue's green thorns away.

Under one blow, Hu Yanxue's [Green Thunder Break] couldn't even compete, and the strength of the deputy captain of the detachment was terrifying.

The spilled energy produced a violent impact, and the strong wind blew Shi Fangtian and Hu Yanxue directly to the wall, knocking them out.

Tao Jinran looked at the two who fell to the ground unconscious, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Heh, just because you also want to destroy the organization's actions?" Bite off more than one can chew! ”

He raised the soft sword in his hand, the gray light shone, and stabbed at Hu Yanxue's head!

"Don't you know what you can do?"

Just when Hu Yanxue was about to die, a light sigh made Tao Jinran's action stagnate.

He hurriedly raised his head and hurriedly looked around, but he didn't find any figure at all.

A strong fear rose from Tao Jinran's heart, and he was about to speak, but found that he couldn't make any sound.

A blood mark gradually appeared on his neck, and in a whirlwind, Tao Jinran's head fell to the ground.

The last thing he saw was a glittering white goose feather knife.
