"It doesn't matter if it's artificial, let's leave some people to guard it, and some people won't go down, this demon girl is weird and strong, maybe it's some kind of protector of the blood moon."

"It makes sense, let's assign a few light skills to go down and explore, and take advantage of the fact that the demon girl is seriously injured now, and arrest her back."

"It's very dark under the cave, look for a branch and bring a torch down, I don't know if there will be bats or something in such a cave, it's good to drive it with a little fire."

"It's okay, then which of you is better, please rest first, let's go find branches for you to make torches."

"Okay, the light work under it is not bad, and it is incumbent on me to go into the cave to capture the demon girl."

"Me too."

"Yes, my light skills are not bad, I will go down too."

All of a sudden, there were seven or eight martial arts people who volunteered to enter the cave, some of them were enthusiastic, some had already run to prepare branches, and some were looking for long and durable vines to prevent accidents...... In short, in less than half an hour, the seven or eight knights went down with torches and strong rattan tied around their waists, and the rest of the people gathered around the mouth of the cave and watched them go down carefully.

By the light of the fire, they could see that the walls of the cave were covered with thick moss, and as the men descended further and further, when they reached the bottom floor, a voice came from below, "There is a big hole here." ”

The people guarding the entrance of the cave suddenly realized, and sure enough, the demon girl did it on purpose. Someone replied, "Be careful not to fall for the tricks of the witch." ”

There was no reply to them below, and quietly, suddenly I heard someone shouting, "Help, what kind of monster is this?" Ahh

A series of screams came from the cave wall for a while, with a slight echo, and then, a beast roar, the sound was very high-pitched, like a dragon's groan, but with bloodthirsty ferocity, the people at the entrance of the cave unconsciously retreated many steps......

After a long time, someone spoke, "There is such a fierce beast in the cave, and the demon girl is afraid that she will not survive, so let's go back first." ”

"Brother Tai is reasonable, we have finished this matter of eliminating harm for the people, let's go back and rest."

"Yes, yes, yes," the group of people responded to each other, and no one wanted to capture any demon girls anymore, only towards the entrance of the cave, as if they were very sorry, "It's a pity that those brothers sacrificed in order to get rid of the demon girl." ”

"Ahh

I don't know who sighed, they went to the entrance of the cave, muttering about the glory of the death of a few brothers, hoping that they would be born sooner, and then no one wanted to stay any longer, and left without looking back.

Anjiang Annex.

Jiang Guangxi was so worried for the first time in his life, Yu Xinling was gone, and Lan Qian went to look for Yu Xinling on his own, but now there is no news.

Although his martial arts are good, he is really not very strong when used to walk the rivers and lakes, he thought, maybe he can go outside and find out the news.

The city was really lively, Jiang Guangxi walked into a small inn and sat down, asked for some food, gave Xiao Er some silver, and asked, "Hey, what's new today?" ”

Xiao Er was overjoyed when he looked at the silver ingot in his hand, and he was much more enthusiastic about Jiang Guangxi, "Yes, yes, do you know that the person who found the Blood Moon not far from Liancheng this morning?" ”

"This news is new, you can tell me about it."

"Hey, okay," Xiao Er responded with a smile, "Don't you know, someone found a woman in Xiao'an City this morning, the exercises are very weird, and even the light skills don't need to borrow from other knights in the rivers and lakes, just fly in the air, and then a knight recognizes it at a glance, and shouts when he slaps the table, 'Catch her, she's the person of the Blood Moon,' and then immediately another chivalrous guest responded and said that it was the martial arts of the Blood Moon," Xiao Er seemed to be immersed in the scene, and said vividly, "There are many people who are innocently killed by the Blood Moon on weekdays, and the people who were nearby at the time, Seeing that the man was just alone, and no matter how much skill he had, he just picked up the guy and chased after him, plus there was also the help of the knights of the rivers and lakes, so the demon girl fled to the outskirts of the city. ”

Jiang Guangxi was a little absent-minded, what he actually wanted to hear more was the news of Yu Xinling or Lan Qian, "What about later?" Did you catch it? ”

"Hey," Xiao Er patted his thigh, "That's not it, guest officer, you don't know, that demon girl later fled into the dense forest, killed several of our heroes, and fell into the cave of the beast, tsk, that miserable yo, was already seriously injured and weak, and was eaten separately after a while, tsk, tsk, I heard that she was still a very beautiful little girl." ”

Jiang Guangxi always had a feeling for some reason, "What kind of girl?" ”

Xiao Er said, "I also heard, I heard that the girl looks like a Peugeot, that is, her martial arts are particularly weird, her hands can emit blue light, and when she touches people, it will freeze, fortunately, this demon girl is dead, otherwise how terrifying it is......"

What the shopkeeper was talking about, Jiang Guangxi didn't seem to hear it, he only felt that his brain was blank with a "boom", that demon girl is Lan Qian? Lan Qian is dead? How is this possible? She obviously left a letter saying that she was going to find Ling'er.

He only felt as if all his strength had been drained at this moment, and the shopkeeper in his ear was still talking, he didn't have the heart to listen to it anymore, so he casually stuffed Xiao Er with some silver taels, and walked out in a trance. Xiao Er watched him walk out, looked at the unused wine and food on the table, and muttered, "This person is really strange," weighed the silver in his hand, and went to work happily.

Jiang Guangxi worked lightly all the way, along the news he heard: he came to the dense forest where Lan Qian disappeared last, he stumbled in the forest for a long time, and finally found the cave where the villagers said that there was a man-eating beast, he lay on the mouth of the cave, looking at the black cave below, at this moment he suddenly began to be afraid, afraid that Lan Qian would really die in it, "Ah Qian......" He was lying at the entrance of the cave, his head buried in his arm, his voice was a little sad, someone behind him patted him on the shoulder, he turned back in surprise, but saw Ying Liu with a worried face, " Childe, it's been almost a day since you ran out alone, are you okay? ”

There was a flash of disappointment in his eyes, and he smiled reluctantly and said, "I'm okay, is there any news of Ling'er?" ”

Ying Liu shook his head, but Jiang Guangxi suddenly thought of something, patted the stone wall beside him, and said, "I understand." ”

Ying Liu looked at him and said suspiciously, "Childe understands something." ”

"I think I probably know where Ling'er is." Jiang Guangxi stood up, his eyes were more serious than ever.

"Childe, please speak."

"A few days after we first arrived in Jiangnan, Ling'er lost her temper every day and said that someone was following her, and she couldn't find out who it was." Jiang Guangxi recalled the way Yu Xinling jumped up and down a while ago, and continued, "Later, Ah Qian and I went out to look for the traces of the blood moon, but we were attacked by someone and fed poison, and there was an extra brocade embroidered with the red moon in the clothes. And we, I'm afraid, have been targeted by the Blood Moon from the very beginning. ”

"Our Majesty did not inform the hundred officials of the news that we left Beijing to investigate the blood moon, but only told them that the prince accompanied the princess out of the palace to study, and now it seems that there may be spies in the harem."

"Let's not talk about this for the time being, this time I came out to find Ling'er, I was inexplicably identified as the protector of the blood moon, and I was killed by the people of the rivers and lakes, which shows that we are also being watched by the blood moon, Ling'er is now in the blood moon." Jiang Guangxi frowned, "Look at the shallow direction, Ling'er is afraid that she is in Liancheng." ”

Ying Liu frowned and said nothing, "Let's go back to the other courtyard first, Blood Moon is a ruthless killer organization in the end, how can it be so simple to save people from there." ”

Jiang Guangxi nodded, he couldn't be decadent, he had to save Ling'er.

Lan Qian woke up in a daze, her eyes were pitch black, she reached out to touch it, but she touched something, thought about it carefully, by the way, she was seriously injured, this should be the ice layer that her body automatically precipitated surrounded her, this time the injury was too serious, this layer of ice directly turned into an egg shape, tightly wrapped her.

She took out some medicinal materials from the ring and treated the wound for herself, she sat cross-legged and began to heal herself, fortunately she only lost too much blood, she was in a coma during this time, the ice has helped her recover a lot, and the remaining wounds are not fatal, as long as she takes care of it first, she will be able to go out soon. Thinking so, she began to close her eyes and heal.

Time passed little by little, I don't know how long it took, Lan Qian slowly opened his eyes, the surrounding ice "Peng-" a broken sound, broken into many pieces of Xiaoice scattered around, Lan Qian looked around, it was pitch black everywhere, even night vision could not do, she took out a fire fold from the ring, lit a fire, and walked around the cave by the firelight, this is an extremely spacious natural cave, the stalactites above are dripping from time to time, the sound of "ticking and ticking" is endless, Lan Qian groped all the way, At last she found a groove in the corner of a wall, which seemed to have been visited, and in the groove there was a candle that was not long or short, and she carefully lit it with a fire fold, and the cave immediately became a little light, and she groped around the wall, but helplessly found that only the one in the wall had a groove.

The cave was still dim, cold and gloomy, and she walked back to the place where there was a candle, and there was a stone bed, cold and hard, but enough for her to rest.

She lay on the stone bed, and by the faint light of the candle faintly saw what seemed to be on the wall, leaned over and looked closely, there were some depictions, the first one was a picture of a woman singing on stage, then a woman and a man chanting poetry, then a marriage, then a man killing a woman, and finally a man hanging himself. Lan Qian thought, the person who portrayed this must be a storyteller, but he didn't have the ability or time enough, so he didn't make it clear to make people understand his story. After thinking about it again, she should recuperate, and she still has to rescue her little Ling'er from the hands of Blood Moon! That girl is not very bold, and if she falls into the hands of the cruel Blood Moon, she may not be frightened!

Thinking so, she sat cross-legged again, and began to mutter......
