Chapter 56: Dried Corpses
Although he deliberately chose the southern city wall that was closer to King Li's mansion, the size of Tiansheng City still made Qin Sixteen run blindly for nearly an hour, and then he came to King Li's mansion with a sweat.
At this time, the mansion of King Li was already a dilapidated scene, the gate was full of cracks, slightly open, and it was obviously forcibly rammed by the siege wood. The courtyard was even more depressed, with all kinds of debris scattered on the ground, armor, broken swords, and blood stains all around, but there were no corpses.
Not good!
Qin Sixteen's heart suddenly suddenly, his vigilance was raised to the extreme, and along the way, although the houses he passed by were all silent, but like the Mansion of King Li, there was no one who was destroyed like this.
Quietly stepping into the mansion, Qin Sixteen's mind kept turning, the purpose of his trip was to find King Li, because the relationship between Xiao Duxue and Yuxiao Mountain was only known to King Li, and only King Li had a way to crack it.
Following his memory, Qin Sixteen shuttled quickly through the palace, and he didn't believe that King Li would die so simply.
The layout of the Li royal family for more than 20 years is all tied to the body of King Li alone, how could he die, how dare he die?
In the past, when Qin Sixteen lived in the palace, he once encountered an attack, and after the assassin was killed by him, King Li let Qin Sixteen live in his bedroom, but not on the couch of King Li, but in a secret room underground.
King Li was burdened with the rise and fall of the Li family, it was impossible not to leave behind, Qin Sixteen did not turn around and leave the moment he saw the dilapidated palace, because he knew that in this Li Wang's mansion, there were still many secret tunnels.
Although he didn't know if King Li would stay in the secret room under his bedroom, Qin Sixteen at this time only knew about the secret room, so he could only go and investigate it first, if he wasn't there, he could only return to Wangliu City, take the elite of the Dark Key Pavilion with him, and search the palace one by one.
How to find the tunnel secret room, Qin Sixteen is not good at it, but the group of people under him are all masters, and the task of destroying the door is also handled by the Dark Key Pavilion, and it is not difficult to find a secret door or something.
Gently pushing open the door of King Li's bedroom, revealing a gap, Qin Sixteen's eyes widened and looked inside, but he didn't find anything unusual, so he walked in and slowly closed the door.
Jumping in two or three steps to the bed, Qin Sixteen lifted the curtain of the bed and poked his head under the bed, just about to find the secret door that entered the underground.
But at the moment when Qin Sixteen put his head on the ground, a pair of dark eyes suddenly appeared under the bed and swayed. In an instant, the blood flashed, Qin Sixteen pressed his hands to the ground, threw himself back, and retreated to the edge of the bedroom.
Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his side face, his heart was beating wildly, and Qin Sixteen, who was already nervous, was almost scared to death just now.
Qin Sixteen's eyes flickered, and the two daggers were pulled out and held in his hands, his eyes staring intently at the movement under the bed, but he was constantly thinking about the strategy to deal with it.
Things under the bed move!
This is the only situation that Qin Sixteen has grasped now, and at such a close distance, he can't feel a trace of anger, which means that the "thing" is not a living thing, but it can move, and when it meets its own eyes, its head shakes a little.
A monster guarding the entrance to the tunnel, still with its bedroom closed, suggests that it most likely followed someone here.
There are still some bones pierced by falcon arrows in the open space outside the city, but they were not attacked when they climbed the wall, which shows that the forbidden army did not become dry corpses at the beginning, but began to change after a period of lockdown.
It should be the soldiers who captured the mansion of King Li, and the blood stains on the ground are the best proof, where can the blood of the dried corpse flow?
As for the "monster" hiding under this bed, it may be the person who followed King Li to the secret room, but when he was just about to open the secret room, he was affected by the mutation and became like this.
Speculation is speculation after all, and if you want to understand the truth, you have to investigate it with your own eyes. Qin Sixteen stared at the knife, slashed out a blood-red knife, split the bed in half, and received a sudden impact, and the "monster" under the bed slowly stood upright.
Entangled in the bloody qi all over his body, Qin Sixteen forcibly stabilized his mind, using the faint blood light he emitted, and looked forward fixedly, he had made enough mental preparations, even if he saw the dried corpse of King Li himself at this moment, he could bear it.
But in fact, when he saw the true face of the "monster" in front of him, he was still taken aback. At this time, the figure that was illuminated by his blood was none other than Yu Huaiyin, the famous Grand Master of the Tiger Cracking Fist and the leader of the Magang in the Sheng Xin Martial Arts!
At this time, Yu Huaiyin was better than the dry corpse forbidden army on the city wall, and his body was not so bad, and I don't know if it was because of the short time of the dry corpse, or because of the strong physique of the great grandmaster, his face could still be vaguely recognized.
His body was covered with sawdust after the bed was shattered, and Yu Huaiyin, the dry corpse, just changed his posture, from lying under the bed to standing upright, his empty eyes looked ahead blankly, and there was no longer any movement.
Facing Yu's suspicious face, Qin Sixteen felt a little uncomfortable, so he quietly moved a step sideways, avoiding Yu Huaiyin's gaze that he didn't know existed, but just as Qin Sixteen took this step, the corpse Yu Huaiyin actually moved!
Yu Huaiyin's head turned slightly sideways, his neck bone twisted and made a penetrating clicking sound, and at the same time he took a step forward, just in time to meet Qin Sixteen's eyes.
In an instant, Qin Sixteen's hair was erected, blood burst out all over his body, and the dagger in his palm was even more bloody, and the thick evil qi almost condensed into substance, and even the floor tiles under his feet were stepped out of cracks.
Along the way, the dried corpses that Qin Sixteen encountered had no autonomous consciousness and did not show offensive behavior, most of them were instinctively repeating their actions before death. So when he saw Yu Huaiyin, although Qin Sixteen was shocked in his heart, he didn't think that the other party would attack him.
But now it seems that the dried corpse turned into by this great grandmaster is indeed not quite different!
Another knife was swung out, and the rich bloody aura turned into a knife, heading straight for the throat of the dry corpse Yu Huaiyin.
There was a bang! Black water flowed out of his neck, and Yu Huaiyin's head actually fell off like this, and there was not even the slightest resistance, but his body below his head was still standing upright.
Seeing that the dry corpse Yu Huaiyin was so easy to dismiss, Qin Sixteen breathed a rare sigh of relief, and the light of the bloody evil slowly dimmed. Although he looked uncomfortable, he had no interest in destroying the corpse, so he stepped forward and prepared to bypass the corpse and check the entrance to the underground chamber.
But he didn't want to, when Qin Sixteen stepped out again, there was another click, and the headless corpse standing upright and on the ground moved slowly again, blocking in front of Qin Sixteen, and even the shriveled head on the ground began to shake, struggling to look at Qin Sixteen.
The rich blood qi spread out and illuminated the entire bedroom, Qin Sixteen's nerves had been stimulated beyond the load, and his heartstrings, which had been tense, were finally broken.
"Ahhh......h
