After searching for a day and a night, Sleepless and Nangong Yi searched almost all the remote places where Houtu might live, but they still found nothing.

The two returned to the Demon Suppression Tower, and Li Hong was long gone. Thinking that there was no one in charge of intelligence investigation in the third group who was particularly trustworthy, I couldn't help but be deflated.

At this time, Su Zhi carried the lamp into the door, and seeing that the two of them had no energy at all, he smiled and said, "If I were you, I would secretly stare at the Earth Protector and find out where he has been these days." ”

Wumian and Nangong Yi glanced at each other, knowing that she was originally from the third group, so they got up at the same time, pulled Su Zhi to serve tea and pour water and massage her, and flattered: "Sister Su, you see that the two of us have been busy all day, and we don't have time to rest, why don't you come and help us find it?" This month's silver reward will give you a portion of ......"

"There's no need to reward the silver, I want an embroidery treasured by the original lady in the palace." Su Zhi smiled at the two of them.

"This ...... If you find out, you'll be killed, right? Nangong recalled.

Sleepless kicked him secretly, and said with a smile: "It's not difficult, it's not difficult, it's a piece of cake with our skills!" ”

Su Zhi opened her hand, stretched her muscles and bones for a while, let the two of them have a good rest, and went out with her blade in her hand.

Before noon, Su Zhi woke up the two of them, and said with an unkind face: "Jiang Guo's proton may be in the palace of the Witch Emperor." ”

Her skills were not outstanding, so she didn't dare to lurk for too long, so she just searched for a rough idea and hurried back to inform the two.

There is only one way to deal with this outcome, and only when the Witch Emperor is not near the palace can he go to the rescue. Sleepless grabbed Su Zhi and asked, "Can the Witch Emperor and the Earth Protector be among them?" ”

"The Witch Emperor is still supervising the construction of the tower, and only the Earth Protector is there, but many Witch Sect disciples have been sent inside, and various formations have been set up." If it weren't for his vigilance, Su Zhi would have almost fallen into those traps one ring after another.

"What should I do?" Sleepless looked at Nangong Yi, hoping that he could come up with some good way.

Nangong Yi waved his hand, at a loss.

"Damn, your great master is not here at this time!" Sleepless suddenly found a reason to be angry.

"Your Excellency...... He locked himself in the alchemy, saying that he was in retreat and that no one was to disturb him. "Su Zhi can't help it.

Sleepless has been through many battles and battles, and knows that sometimes blood alone is not enough. However, there are also times when the result may be completely different because of a single thought.

"Nangong, will you accompany me?" She clenched her fists, straightened up, and stood next to the two of them.

Nangong Yi took off the wooden mask on his face, revealing a young man's face that was not handsome but very energetic, took a face towel and covered his face, and tied the knife on his waist casually.

"You're really mine...... Good brothers! Sleepless thumped him, and the two came out side by side.

Behind the two, Su Zhi also caught up and asked with a smile: "I'm not your good sister anymore?" ”

Su Zhi had visited the Witch Emperor's Palace once and had an understanding of its internal formation, so it was naturally a big help for her to be able to participate. Sleepless didn't expect that Su Zhi, who had always been concerned about everything, would also have such a side.

Formations and traps during the day are less difficult, but they are also easier for followers to spot. They planned to take advantage of the dawn to find out the various formations, find Jiang Chenghua's location, draw a sketch, and then sneak in at night to save people.

They scattered, probing around, noting each other's deployments, and returning to the joints to exchange information with each other. In the evening, the sky was dark and it suddenly began to rain.

"Oops." Su Zhi pinched the sketch he had just drawn and changed his face.

"With such a heavy rain, will there be any changes to the defense of the hotel?" Nangong Yi asked her.

"Of course, we'll have to improvise later." Su Zhi folded the drawings and put them in his arms and said to the two.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night and the sound of rain, they didn't care if the sound of footsteps would attract attention, and bypassed some conspicuous traps to rummage through the previously marked rooms.

I searched for more than a dozen places, and although there was no result, there were no obstacles. Nangong Yi gradually stopped, pulled the two of them into a corner, and whispered: "I always feel that something is wrong, have you seen anyone else?" ”

Su Zhi thought for a moment and exclaimed: "Hurry up, it turns out that this is the real trap!" ”

The three of them hurried to the side door, and with a loud "boom", the corner where they were hiding was instantly engulfed in flames, and the heat wave caused by the explosion lifted the three of them to the ground and rolled several times.

If you slow down a few beats, you will be crushed.

The three of them ran out as if they were dead, and dozens of witch cult disciples with sharp blades were waiting outside the door as expected.

"What are you doing? Kill! Sleepless shouted, picking up her knife like a harvest, and the other two followed her pace and began to respond.

The red-clothed cultists were no better than the killers who had been practicing for many years, and it didn't take much effort to fall a batch, but soon a steady stream of new people from other places joined the battle, looking at the large area in front of them, and the three of them gradually fell into fatigue.

"What should I do?" They turned their attention to Sleepless, the most experienced in combat.

"Take a gamble!" The three directions in front of him were blocked, and the only way to retreat was to return to the hotel. On the way back, they didn't know how many dangers were waiting for them, but at this moment, in the face of the many witch sect disciples, they had no choice.

Sleepless let go of his hands and feet to make a gesture to break out of the encirclement, but before the other party could react, he pulled Nangong Yi and Su Zhi to rush to the smoke-scorched compound, stepped on the railing and climbed under the eaves, and went to the other side where they had never set foot.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

I don't know who accidentally triggered the trap, and countless arrows stabbed at them. The three of them dodged one after another, and stumbled into a room where a dim light was lit, and the robed Thick Earth Protector rose up, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Sleepless sighed in his heart, could it be a mistake...... No, it's not the last minute, and there may be a turnaround. They made simple disguises before coming, and as long as they didn't get caught, they didn't have to worry about their identities being exposed. She stared at the thick soil, and the two sides confronted each other, waiting for the other party's next move.

On the bare ground of the unpaved floor on the ground floor, a puff of yellow smoke suddenly rose. Su Weaving, who was behind Sleepless, was shocked, and hurriedly beckoned his companions to retreat quickly, and at the same time threw the arrows he grabbed from outside the house into the thick earth.

Sure enough, this shot failed to hurt the thick soil at all, and it was not even thrown accurately in a panic. On the other side, Sleepless kicked the door shut, simply swept to the roof, looked at the red-clothed cultists who were gradually pouring in, and didn't care about revealing their whereabouts, and the three of them rushed to the other side together.

Not far from the back, there was a burst of bricks and tiles, and Nangong Yi turned around in a hurry, and saw that the thick soil actually broke the roof with his palm and came straight towards them.

"Run!" Su Zhi dragged him, and with the other hand, he drew a formation in the air, and the surrounding bricks and tiles also floated, and when they were half a person high, they all hit the thick soil ten steps away.

With this move, the distance between the two sides was widened by several steps, but it was not enough.

The yellow smoke drifted from the hole in the roof, bypassing the thick earth and chasing the three of them. Seeing that he was about to be entangled, Sleepless touched Su Zhi and said, "You are also an earth system, think of a way!" ”

"Once this cigarette is entangled, the body will become heavy, and finally they will obediently catch it." Su Zhi explained, "Originally, there was a way to shrink the land into inches to resolve it, but I was not capable, and there were three people, so I didn't know how far I could send it out......"

"Leave it alone, use it first." Sleepless and have no time to accompany her to think before and after. She and Nangong Yi set up Su Zhi on the left and right, dragged her away, and she chanted and drew spells.

The yellow smoke gradually reached the ankles of the three people, and they hurriedly jumped to dodge, but saw that there was nowhere to stay below. At this time, Su Weaving's lengthy spell casting finally ended, and he led them to leap forward against the raindrops.

The flowers and lights that flew past the pavilion in front of them saw the three of them descend from the sky and land among the few cultists wearing cloaks and hats who were wandering leisurely outside the walls.

Those disciples didn't have time to react, and they were already knocked down by the three of them.

"Don't relax, keep running!" Su Zhi was exhausted, and Fang Cai's move almost exhausted her mental strength, and at this moment, she couldn't bear it just by walking, so she had to continue to be carried by the two of them to nobody.

The road was slippery in the rain, and there was no light, and they fell and fell along the way before quietly returning to the Demon Suppression Tower.

Su Zhi was helped back to his room by Nangong Yi, and when he saw that everyone was gone, he pushed open the secret door without sleep, preparing to change out of his mud-stained clothes.

The mechanism activated, and in the cubicle behind the secret door, a man who had just finished bandaging his wounds sat down.

"Cheng Hua ......"

She was covered in mud, collapsed and fell to her knees, looking at this person who worried her, her heart was suddenly full of grievances.

Her eyes were uncontrollably sore, and she stubbornly tilted her head, hoping to let the tears flow back, but they were disobedient, and the more she didn't want to, the more tears appeared on her face.

Jiang Chenghua picked her up, ignoring the dirt and rain on her body, and ignoring the wounds on her body, put her on her lap, and comforted her softly like a child.

After a long while, Sleepless stopped sobbing, pulled his shirt and wiped his face, asking how he had been rescued.

"You're saying that you were brought over by that bastard from Lihong shortly after we left?" After listening to it, Sleepless couldn't help but feel a burst of nameless anger.

"We're almost not coming back tonight! Why is he? Why tease us like this! "If she hadn't been held tightly, she would have smashed everything in the chamber.

Jiang Chenghua soothed her back and patted her gently, "Don't you understand?" ”

Sleepless blinked at him with wide eyes.

"He's letting you know that if you want to do that big thing, you have to see the gap in strength between yourself and the other party first. Tonight you are in danger, and you must have his secret help, and you should understand his good intentions. Jiang Chenghua hugged her tightly.

"That person has so many eyes in his heart, and the ghost knows what he wants." Sleepless blushed with shame, but his mouth was still stiff. Seeing Jiang Chenghua secretly laughing at her, he slapped him twice in annoyance.
