It's not wrong to call this birdman.

In addition to the beak mask and the fin cape, the shoes are also made of stainless steel!

This paw scrapes on the face, ouch hey......

No hair!

The birdman struck a blow to no avail, and immediately fled away.

I turned my horse's head to chase after him, but he flapped his wings in the air and fell like a meteor into the dark mountains, never to be found again.

That's it?

After waiting for about a stick of incense, the birdman still didn't appear.

I tried to go some distance ahead.

He still doesn't show up.

It seems that this guy is not a guard of Aquila Castle, maybe just passing by.

Of course, with his birdman outfit, he must have nothing to do with Aquila Castle.

Forget it, he doesn't mess with me, and I'm too lazy to bird him, so let's find out the dart cart first.

Goo Wow...... Wail......

The crows were still chirping.

Goo Wow...... Wail......

Well, it's a bunch of cultured crows.

As I got closer to Aquila Castle, I dismounted and walked to hide my eyes.

The weeds around were three feet high, and my cat was groping his way through the grass.

Rustling...... Rustling......

It was as if something else was moving in the grass.

I didn't care about it, and I touched the outer wall of Aquila Castle all the way.

At this time, the point is - it is naturally easy to break in, but my goal is to find the missing dart team, in case it is not handled well, Tong Sanye, Uncle Xu, and Boss Zhang will be in danger of burning incense.

So, can't be discovered!

I looked east and west, and after making sure that there were no open posts and secret posts nearby, I grabbed the stone wall with both hands, and firmly nailed my fingertips into the cracks in the wall.

It has to be said that the Eagle Claw Gong is very suitable for climbing walls.

Beyond the two-foot-high bluestone courtyard wall, a huge building came into my view.

Looking at the silhouette from a distance, I felt that it was wrong, but now that I look closely, its style is really different from that of the Ninety-Nine Prefectures, like several towers of different heights put together to form a complete spire high-rise.

I don't know why, I suddenly have a strong feeling that once I break into this castle, I will be immediately beaten by countless zombies, werewolves, armor, devils, flying heads, and maids, and only by breaking into the top of the castle and defeating a middle-aged uncle who likes to drink wine can I be saved.

I shuddered.

It's fine, it's just an illusion.

Looking around, there was a dead silence all around.

I found a small door in the courtyard, and when I pushed it lightly, I found that it was not locked, so I opened it and walked in.

Still no one.

There was no one and no lights.

I could only make out the way with the help of a little moonlight that came in, and walked slowly inside.

The team's ruts entered the courtyard and disappeared under a locked wooden gate, all I had to do was go around the back of the gate.

But I never expected that although there were no zombies, werewolves and other monsters, the internal structure of this castle was really complicated like a labyrinth!

I'm lost.

It is said that when you get lost in a maze, as long as you stick to the wall and keep walking, there will always be a day to get out.

I decided to give it a try......

What is this place?

I felt like I was in a huge hollow.

I say 'feeling' because it was pitch black in front of me and I couldn't see anything at all.

I can't see it, but I can hear it.

By making some very slight noises (such as footsteps, breathing}, and the sound bounces back against the wall, the martial arts master can determine the basic situation of the position - such as how wide the area is, how high the top is, whether there are obstacles next to it, whether there are holes in the soles of the feet, and so on.

This is the legendary Listening Argument.

In addition to sound, True Qi can also do this.

That's why we often hear stories of masters dueling blindfolded.

"This isn't the inside of the castle, is it?" I muttered to myself.

Ouch!

If you don't pay attention, you stumble over something.

There is something strange about the feeling on the feet.

Don't be ......

Corpse!

I touched it with my hand and immediately confirmed it.

What kind of corpse?

It's inaudible.

I decided to light the fire and take a look.

In the darkness, a small flame sparked in the dark.

"Don't be your own." I muttered silently in my heart, and put the fire fold in the corpse's face.

Disheveled!

It was bright all around.

The sudden glare made my eyes narrow.

At the same time, I also saw the surrounding scene clearly - this is indeed a natural cave, the area is not small, but it is not as huge as expected.

There were indeed corpses lying on the ground, and more than one.

I don't know, I don't know all of them.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Since you are not a member of the dart team, there is still hope.

But......

Why is there a sudden light?

I looked at the people who were standing.

That's right, in addition to the dead lying on the ground, there is also a circle of living people surrounding me.

They had torches in their hands, and they lit the place as if it were day.

In addition to torches, there are also knives!

But whether it's a knife or a torch, it's not the point.

The point is – these living people are all dressed in poor clothes.

They are catching fast!

"Kyushu Flying Eagle broke into Sky Eagle Fort at night, killed 175 people in the fort, arrested them on the spot, and captured them with stolen goods!" A headcatcher in a scarlet top hat screamed.

"I killed a hundred and seventy-five people?" I frowned.

"That's right." Vermilion Riding Hood said, "Arrest on the spot, no denial." ”

"How many of you are there?" I asked.

"This ...... Fifty people, right? The Red Riding Hood Catcher looked around and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"I killed all 175 people, and you fifty fools are here to give away heads?" I sneered.

With a grunt, the headhunter swallowed.

"Wow, you still dare to resist arrest?" As soon as the others heard it, they showed their knives.

I scratched the back of my head.

Those martial artists of Yuzhou Dao are even forgotten, why are they even as stunned as if they were catching fast?

Could it be a fake catch?

It's not like - judging from the clothing, demeanor, weapons, and even martial arts cultivation, they should be genuine.

This thing is really a bit intriguing.

"Forget it, get me." After thinking for a while, I calmly stretched out my hands.

Immediately, a catcher quickly pulled out the shackles.

"You're stupid." The headhunter of the red riding hood immediately scolded, "Use that one." ”

"Oh." The ordinary iron shackles were taken away and replaced with a pair of silver shackles that locked martial arts masters.

Click!

My hands were handcuffed.

Collecting silver began to absorb the true qi in my body non-stop.

"Let's go, escort back to the yamen!" The Vermilion Riding Hood raised his head.

"Wait." I shouted.

"What else do you want to play?" The Red Riding Hood head frowned.

"Nothing else." I shrugged my shoulders and said, "I just want to ask, who is this person who died on it?" ”

Originally, on the inside of the cave, there was a large stone throne.

On the throne, a corpse sat crookedly.

"Him?" "He's the lord of Aquila Castle." ”

"It turns out that he is the castle master......"

In silence, I slowly looked away from the corpse wearing a beak mask, a birdfeather cape, and bird's claw leather boots.
