Chapter 60
Under the leadership of the dead soldiers, Po Xi and the others successfully arrived at the entrance of the poison peak, but they didn't meet Liu Chang and them all the way, and everyone just thought that they didn't find a chance to escape. In that case, they can only find a way to go in and save them.
"Li Ye, if we want to go in, is there anything we need to pay attention to?"
Po Xi looked at the mountain peak in front of him and asked Li Ye, who led the way. Since the King of Shu can control the entire mountain area so secretly, he must have laid out a defense that people cannot approach. Otherwise, how could this place be called the "Poison Peak".
"There is poison everywhere here, if ordinary people go in, they may die at any time, if we want to force our way in, we may just end up in vain, or ......" Li Ye wanted to say and stopped
"Or what?" Duguqing is still not afraid of heaven and earth, looking at the entrance with a look of impatience, eager to enter now.
"Or everyone dies inside."
Li Ye's answer made everyone realize that it was very dangerous inside, but something had to be done to make it possible to know if Liu Chang and Princess Wenmei were inside.
"Is there anything special in it besides poison?" Per Creek had sensed that something was wrong here from the beginning, that it was full of the life force of a ferocious beast, more concentrated and violent than she had ever felt before.
"If you want to say something special, I've heard that there are many wild beasts domesticated here, and they are basically fed with medicine to make them more lethal. But I haven't seen it, so I don't know if it's true or not. Li Ye replied truthfully, this statement was circulated among their companions, but no one dared to say that it was true.
"It's true, I've seen it, it's scary inside." One of the dead men interjected.
"You've seen it?" Po Xi is even more sure of his guess this time, there are indeed fierce beasts here, which explains why there are no wild beasts near the Shu Palace, and they were all captured and domesticated by him.
"Yes, some of our fellow workers are not eligible to stay because they can't get the intensity of training. But they were not released, and they were all sent to the poison peak as drug testers, and at one point, I was in charge of escorting a few companions here, and one of them was judged by the poison master to be unnecessary. So he asked me to throw him off the heights on the spot. I...... The probe took a second look, and there were jackals, tigers, leopards and other fierce beasts everywhere below, and the people who threw them down ......" the dead man was frightened and couldn't go on.
"I may not have known as many of you in my life as all of you combined, but this is the most cruel and ruthless thing I have ever heard......"
When Duguqing heard such a fact, her heart was so heavy that it was difficult to breathe, all her cognition of cruelty only came from words, even if she came to this world, at most she had seen people kill people. It was the first time she had heard of such a horrific thing as being artificially thrown to a beast and tearing people apart, and the scene of the murder that was still going on was right in front of her.
Not only Duguqing, everyone was silent, especially Meng Tian, who had human lives on his hands, and killing people on the battlefield was inevitable since ancient times. No one wants to kill people for no reason, they kill to defend their families and country. But what the King of Shu did was no longer simply killing, this was simply annihilating human nature. What he wanted to create was not a kingdom, but a complete purgatory on earth.
"You can't stay here." Two lines of tears flowed down Perxi's sympathetic eyes.
"That's right, I've already destroyed so many of his things, not one more." Dugu Qing clenched his fists, eager to destroy everything inside now.
"Madam, if I don't bring someone in, you all stay outside......"
"No, I'm the only one to go." Po Xi interrupted Meng Tian's words, looked at the mountain in front of him with a resolute expression, and then turned his head and asked the dead man, "Are you willing to lead the way for me?" ”
"Yes!" The dead man nodded without hesitation
"Madame No"
"Madame No"
Meng Tian, Zhang Ge is very opposed to Perxi's insistence, anyone can have an accident here, but she can't.
"I'll be fine, don't worry. Besides, I only have five anti-poison pills here, and five of you can go in with me. ”
As soon as Po Xi finished speaking, before the medicine was poured out, her palms were stretched out in front of her, and she looked up at the fearless faces wordlessly, and smiled softly. Without speaking, she poured out the first medicine and gave it to the dead soldier who led the way, the second one to Zhang Ge, and the third one to one of his subordinates who bypassed Meng Tian, and poured out another one, only to be snatched by Dugu Qing and swallowed it directly.
"You...... What are you doing? You don't know martial arts. Meng Tian looked at Duguqing with annoyance, she took the medicine, and the last one was the queen, what else did he eat?
"My usefulness is definitely no less than yours, their refining is indispensable for chemistry routes, I am a top student in chemistry, I know nothing better than you." Duguqing raised his chin without feeling guilty at all and said.
Meng Tian was speechless, but he definitely didn't want to stay outside, so he stretched out his hand to his subordinate Zhan Lie and ordered, "Bring it." ”
As a result, Chen Lie, who had always been obedient, swallowed the medicine with a grunt, and Meng Tian was angry and scolded loudly: "Lie, are you looking for death?" ”
"The general is the commander, and we can't do without the leader." Chen Chen touched his nose and didn't dare to look at Meng Tian.
Zhan Chen's cute appearance and Meng Tian's black and red face that was ready to be angry made Dugu Qing almost couldn't help laughing, because he didn't dare to laugh out loud, he covered his mouth and laughed.
Meng Tian looked at Duguqing with disgust, too lazy to bother with her, and thought that he could discuss with Zhang Ge to change him in, his martial arts were still somewhat better than Zhang Ge's. Who knew that before he could speak, he saw Zhang Ge's throat swallowing.
"I am King Qin's guard, not your subordinate." Zhang Getan is not embarrassed at all.
"Madam, it's okay, I can go in without taking medicine." Meng Tian could only settle for the next best.
"Chen Chen is right, you are the commander, they can't be leaderless, you should stay." Perxi also disagreed with Meng Tian following up.
"Don't worry, Madame, the Dark Guard will soon come to join us, and the leader of the Dark Guard has the ability to lead the people outside to do a good job of defense."
Po Xi thought about it, didn't insist anymore, and handed over the last medicine to Meng Tian. Meng Tian didn't answer and said, "I don't need it, you can eat it, madam." ”
"You forgot that I stayed in the cliff cave for two years?" Poxi didn't say much, and when it came to the cliff cave, Meng Tian didn't understand and understood what she meant.
"Oh...... The old man "Meng Tian suddenly realized, didn't ask again, took the medicine and took it. Then he explained the places that the people below should pay attention to. Everyone entered the danger zone of the poison peak together.
When they arrived at the entrance of the cave, Meng Tian and Zhang Ge slowly approached and silently solved the guards. Per Creek and they just showed up. If you follow what the dead man said, there are guards everywhere inside. There are some special places that you can't just approach, because if you accidentally touch the mechanism, poison will be released.
Perxi asked the tiger cubs to fight the "vanguard", and Meng Tian was responsible for hiding the stunned or dead guards. The further you go inside, the stronger the smell of medicine becomes, and the smell is really uncomfortable.
Led by the dead man, they soon approached their destination. Perry Creek also felt more naturally the impact surging in the air getting stronger and stronger. Even everyone could hear the powerful cry of the beast.
Probably because ordinary people here didn't dare to approach, and there were no guards along the passage all the way up. When they reached the end of the passage, the leading dead man stopped and said, "Don't get too close, everyone, there is the beastyard under that exit." The garden is still like a wild forest, but it is surrounded by the King of Shu, and it should be that the medicinal powder resisted by the beasts has been applied at the border out of this area, so the beasts can't get out. ”
Hearing this, Perxi slowly approached the exit that had been opened from the mountain, and looked down, the height at which they were located was at least one or two hundred meters high from the beast park below, and sure enough, in the darkness, all kinds of beasts of different colors walked around with a cold light. Look at the situation, there are many beasts.
Dugu Qing also leaned over curiously and poked her head out to look, she had never known fear, looking at the situation below, she knew for the first time that she also had something to fear. If you fall, there is only one dead end. However, she thought to herself, these ferocious beasts all like to have their own territory, how can they be so "harmonious" in a region?
Dugu Qing couldn't think through it, and asked: "The beasts below here should be all kind, how can they get along so peacefully?" ”
"This is a stronghold for poison refining, it is not difficult to control them with medicine, not to mention that they are never short of food, a large number of weak animals will be thrown down every day, and there are ......" Although the dead man did not finish speaking, everyone knew what he said.
"What the hell does this demon want to do, he even controls animals so cruelly." Zhang Ge, who has never said much, also feels pity for the beasts below.
Poxi finally understood why there were so few animals in the mountains and forests near the Shu Palace, and it turned out that they were all artificially searched and caught here to feed the fierce beasts below.
She knew how powerful the beast was, but it was conceivable that Mo Shangxuan should want to use the beast as a soldier. The only way to control them is to use medicine.
"Ma'am, what should we do? I'm afraid these beasts are not something we can deal with. Meng Tian wasn't afraid of anything, but it was obvious that the following was not a problem that could be solved by a small team of people.
"We don't need to deal with them, but just release them and let them out of here, wouldn't it? I also know that Mo Shangxuan will definitely not be able to raise these terrible beasts so hard, and what can be explained clearly is that he wants to use these fierce beasts to deal with the Qin army. Duguqing said Perxi's thoughts directly.
After hearing this, Meng Tian thought worriedly, if Mo Shangxuan really planned to do so, then this "army" would not be one for ten, but for one for hundred. In addition, I don't know how many troops are hidden on Mo, and I am afraid that the difference between the 150,000 Qin soldiers alone is very large.
"Brother Tai, do you know how many troops the King of Shu has?" Meng Tian asked the dead man, if he knew the number of people and horses of the King of Shu, at least he had a bottom in his heart, and now that he had made such a discovery, the Qin army could not be careless.
"This villain is not clear, our dead man is an independent organization, directly under the control of the King of Shu, but it is usually the order given to us by the head of the Feng family, and it is also the head of the Feng family who arranged for us to follow Miss Dugu and Mrs. Dugu this time."
"It doesn't matter who told you to follow you, now I want to know, if we find a way to free the trapped beasts below, is it feasible?" Duguqing asked.
Po Xi said in front of the dead soldiers: "I'm afraid not, since they have the ability to control them to stay in peace, I'm afraid they also have the ability to summon them back." ”
"So what can we do? You can't really let Mo Shangxuan use them as killing weapons, right? Dugu Qing asked again in annoyance.
"Since they are controlled by poison, the only way to detoxify them is to help them detoxify." Percy said
"How?"
"Find Uncle and Princess Wenmei, as long as Princess Wenmei is alive, there is hope."
"Yes, Wen Mei, Wen Mei can definitely do it. But how we should look for them, they didn't show up at the promised time. Will they ...... Something went wrong. "Duguqing has always been worried about Liu Chang and Wen Mei, it is so dangerous here, they are isolated, and it is very easy for something to happen.
Suddenly, the three brothers and sisters of Baiyang staggered close to the exit and raised their heads and screamed, and Poxi reacted immediately, and she also looked at the sky outside. I saw a huge black shadow flying towards the right side of the mountain.
"It's the Firmament Beast, it's the uncle who summoned the Firmament Beast, and the uncle is fine." Perxi happily looked at the black shadow. Then, suddenly thinking of something, he immediately took out his whistle and blew it at the sky. There are three whistles, one each for her, Liu Chang and Ying Zheng. It's just that the Firmament Beast only lingers near Per Creek, and even if there is a whistle, it can't summon it.
After the whistle sounded, the black shadow suddenly rushed up with its head upward, and then turned sharply and flew in the direction of the cave entrance. Although the entrance of the cave is large enough, the Sky Beast does not have enough space to open its wings and fly in. Fortunately, the Sky Beast was a spirit beast, and it quickly retracted its wings before entering the cave, and relied on the momentum of inertia to enter the cave safely.
The tiger cubs jumped up and down around the Sky Beast excitedly, and the Sky Beast also used its head to interact with them intimately. Perxi didn't have time to play with them, so he picked up the white moon and put it on the back of the firmament beast, and took off his belt to tie the white moon to the back of the firmament beast so that the white moon would not fall. As long as the uncle saw Bai Yue, he would understand that they were already waiting for him and Princess Wenmei nearby.
After the arrangement was made, after Poxi sent the Sky Beast to find Liu Chang, Meng Tian originally wanted to go out directly and wait for Liu Chang, after all, it was very dangerous here. But Duguqing said that there should be a large amount of poison here, and he came here to see if he could destroy it, and he could break one of the legs of the King of Shu, so that he couldn't run fast.
As soon as everyone heard it, they felt that it made sense, and they did what they said. However, before the main pharmacy could be found, it alarmed people, and for a while, the whole mountain was like a group of monkeys dancing, and it was "very lively". Meng Tian and the others fought fiercely against the guards, and they could still gain the upper hand at first, but there were too many enemies, and they were slowly forced to retreat more and more. It wasn't until they came to a place with a huge space and multiple compartments on several floors that the guards stopped attacking, but surrounded Poxi and the others.
Perxi and Duguqing were protected in the middle, and everyone looked at this space at the same time, except for the miserable, there were no words to describe it.
This is the drug refining room where Mo Shangxuan forced Wen Mei to compromise last time, and like Wen Mei, Po Xi and the others were directly stabbed into the heart by the scene here, and this place is even more cruel than hell. So many innocent people are being locked up in this way, losing their freedom, their health, and even their lives.
They all looked at them silently, as if to say: "If you come in, you can't get out."
"Hahaha, you think I don't know that someone has broken into a place that shouldn't have broken in, so you can swagger to come to my place to "knock in". A yin and yang weird, skinny old man walked out of the crowd, looked at Meng Tian and the others, and continued to say arrogantly: "Although I admire you for shuttling here safe and sound for so long, even if you are not poisoned, you can't get out." ”
"Who are you?" Percy took a fearless step forward and looked at the old man.
The old man squinted at Po Xi and patiently replied: "I am the leader of the King of Shu, the poison master, and I didn't need to come forward in person to clean up intruders like you, but since you have the ability to come here, it means that your ability is not small." In this way, I can't take it lightly. ”
"Old man, you are a tiger, you are abusive, you have hurt so many innocent people, you are careful that you will never recover after death." Duguqing gritted his teeth and scolded.
"Whatever you say, today, there are just a few things that are useless, and a few of you can just be on top." The leader poison master did not fluctuate in Dugu Qing's curse, and ordered the people next to him: "Dispose of the useless things in it and lock these people in." ”
It turned out that the old man's so-called treatment was to drag a few people in one of the compartments, who were barely breathing, to a red-hot iron stove, open the lid, and throw the people directly into it.
No one thought of such a picture, and anger could no longer describe everyone's emotions. Meng Tian couldn't help but take the initiative to attack anymore, and in the end, it was a fight between the two sides. But slowly, Meng Tian, Zhang Ge and others began to feel that something was wrong with their bodies, and they became more and more uncontrollable.
"Hahaha, you have the ability to reach the sky, as long as I am willing to poison you, you don't want to retreat, you have to stay today, and you have to stay if you don't stay." The leader of the poison master shouted arrogantly.
Just when he thought he was safe, a large group of people suddenly rushed in and killed a lot of guards quickly, and to his surprise, it was Feng Daicheng who was the leader. He never dreamed that Feng Daicheng would betray the Feng family and the King of Shu.
Because Feng Daicheng met the Dark Guard at the foot of the mountain, he joined them into the Poison Peak. The reason why the Dark Guards believed him was because they had always paid attention to Feng Daicheng's movements. In addition, Wang Jian told the leader of the dark guard that Feng Daicheng could be trusted at a critical time. That's why they appeared in time to rescue Meng Tian and others, who were about to be unable to support themselves.
Poxi was okay and didn't suffer any impact, but Duguqing couldn't, she was forced to the top of the open iron stove, and she was weakly softened by the invasion of the medicinal effect in the air. Seeing that he was about to fall into the iron furnace, Feng Daicheng made a quick leap, and at the last moment, he grabbed Duguqing's hand. Then concentrate the capacity and pull her back to safety.
Poxi almost stopped beating in fright, she hurriedly approached Duguqing and looked at Feng Daicheng gratefully. Feng Daicheng took out a medicine bottle and gave it to Poxi and said, "Give it to her, if you don't detoxify it for a long time, it will hurt your body." After speaking, he handed Dugu Qing to Po Xi, and he and the two tiger cubs blocked the approaching guards.
However, it didn't take long for the entire Poison Peak's guards to be quickly subdued by the Dark Guards, and all the Poison Masters and Poison Master Leaders were also controlled. Feng Daicheng knew that the poisoners were all masters of poisoning, and the first time was to let people scavenge all the drugs on their bodies, and let them take the cartilage powder that was not lacking here, so that they were awake but had no strength to do anything.
The next step is to slowly deal with the dirty deeds of the entire poison peak and rescue all the innocent people who are suffering here. This is what Feng Daicheng wants to do most every time he comes here, and today, he finally doesn't just want to do it anymore.
