0101 Dragon's Lair
Xiong Lie has lived in the deep palace since he was a child, and he is used to seeing the nobles and eunuchs who are deceived and deceived by flies and dogs, who recognize thieves as fathers and sell masters for glory, and have seen people without any lower limit, but it is the first time to see such a shameless person as Zhang Qingfeng.
In order to be out of sight and out of mind, afraid that Zhang Qingfeng would make some kind of moth to use the princess to calculate himself, he deliberately pulled out of the village before dawn and set off, and even Tang Qianqian wanted to say goodbye to Zhang Qingfeng and quietly left the woods and rushed to the dragon's lair, but he didn't expect that after walking less than ten miles, a spy came to report that he had found someone from the Dragon Slayer League two miles away.
"It's really ghostly, speed up and get rid of them!"
Xiong Lie gritted his teeth with hatred, but how could two thousand people march in the rugged and difficult primeval mountains?
As for getting rid of the Dragon Slayer League, it is even more nonsense, although the rabbit was left in the Dragon Slayer League because his injuries did not heal, but the smell of the stuffy gourd, which is more sensitive than the dog's nose, can bite the Praetorian Guard without a spy at all.
What made Xiong Lie most depressed was that the road to the dragon's lair didn't seem to be smooth sailing.
From time to time, blood skeletons or brute beasts would rush out and sneak attack, and the Praetorian Guard battalion had to send men to clear them, even if they were outnumbered and had iron crossbows, and the hunt was going well, it would always take a little time to recover the special crossbow arrows, and it would be impossible to cover up their whereabouts.
As they got closer and closer to the dragon's lair, there were more and more blood skeletons blocking the way, and the speed of the Praetorian Guard's advance became slower and slower, and the so-called throwing off Zhang Qingfeng completely became a joke.
Originally, this time into the mountains to slay the dragon, the Tang royal family had a set of careful plans, the Iron Wolf King and the Silver Armor Army were responsible for clearing the surroundings, and the Praetorian Guard was responsible for slaying the dragon, but due to the rebellion of the Iron Wolf King, the plan was all disrupted, Xiong Lie had to turn the tide and decided to take the Praetorian Guard Battalion to enter the dragon's lair alone.
"Alliance leader, why did you stop?"
Seeing that Zhang Qingfeng suddenly ordered to stop advancing, Du Dayan couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Qingfeng smiled brightly: "Didn't you hear the shouting and killing in front? You should have encountered a large group of blood skeletons, and you should wait until they are finished clearing before leaving." Xiong Lie is smart but is mistaken by cleverness, if he doesn't want to eat alone, we can still wish them a hand, now, if you don't scold my mother, I count him as cultivated. ”
Xiong Lie did not scold his mother.
When he got the news that Zhang Qingfeng's men and horses had stopped moving a mile and a half behind him, he slashed down a waist-thick tree with a sword.
"Clear it as soon as possible, you must reach the dragon's lair before dark!"
The Praetorian Guards didn't understand why Xiong Lie was angry, so they had to rush to kill and eliminate the blood skeleton as soon as possible.
Because he had the experience of fighting with the Blood Skull Bone Demon before, this time the dragon slayer deliberately carried an iron crossbow that even the bone demon could shoot and kill, and stopped killing and killing all the way, and when the sun was about to set, he finally arrived at the entrance of the dragon's lair!
In front of me is a large earthen pit with a radius of five or six miles.
The pit is not very deep, the deepest part of the middle is more than 300 meters, the pit edge in the south direction is a gentle slope shape from the pit to the bottom of the pit, and the pit wall in the north is as steep as a knife, and at the bottom of the cliff, it is a large circular hole with a height and width of 50 meters.
When Zhang Qingfeng rushed to the edge of the pit and saw the dark cave, the strange feeling in his heart became stronger.
"This is the Dragon's Lair?"
Surprisingly, there was no Blood Skull Demon in the pit, but the air was filled with a suffocating aura of death.
"Are you sure there's a dragon hiding here?"
Xiong Lie had a gloomy face, didn't bother to use his Praetorian Guards as a shield, and caught up with Zhang Qingfeng all the way.
Yuan Sanjia couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, snorted coldly, and warned: "Zhang Feng, the dragon's lair was discovered by our Tang royal family, and the treasure inside should belong to us!
Zhang Qingfeng glanced at Yuan Sanjia with disdain, and said, "You're welcome? This is the attitude of your Tang Praetorian Guard towards the princess's life-saving benefactor? If you threaten me with this sentence, I think it is necessary to have a good talk with the princess, and re-estimate how much her life is worth, three hundred star soul armor, it seems to be a little less." ”
"You!"
"That's it!"
Xiong Lie knows Tang Qianqian's personality very well, if Zhang Qingfeng makes any more requests under the banner of saving his life, the ninth princess, who has no concept of money and wealth since she was a child, will never refuse.
"Zhang Feng, in the face of the treasure of the dragon's lair, everyone is the enemy of my Datang, for the sake of you saving the princess, I didn't stop you, and cleared the road for you, so that you can see the demeanor of the dragon with your own eyes, but if you dare to make trouble or take advantage of the fire to rob, even if you run to the ends of the earth, my Datang Praetorian Guard will kill you. ”
Zhang Qingfeng always smiled, and hurriedly said after listening to Xiong Lie's words: "Then thank you General Xiong for your kindness, thanks to you for cleaning up the blood skull, otherwise we don't know how many people will die in the Dragon Slayer Alliance, I have written down this feeling, however, the dragon's lair is not a spar thrown on the ground, and the reason that whoever sees it first is not valid, if according to your words, I see the princess, is the princess mine?" This reason is also ridiculous, to be precise, it should be who finally subdued the dragon, and whose treasure is it, what do you say?"
Xiong Lie is the youngest powerhouse in the Tang Dynasty, he can be promoted to the Qi Transformation Realm at the age of twenty-five, and there have not been a few people in the entire Central Plains Seven Kingdoms in a hundred years, not to mention his wisdom and talent, but Zhang Qingfeng's argument of not being humble or arrogant made him not know how to refute it for a while.
Xiong Lie was silent for a moment, and then suddenly smiled: "So, you want to intervene?"
Zhang Qingfeng shook his head: "I can't talk about it, but if you fail to slay the dragon, or the whole army is wiped out, if I don't make a move, I will be too sorry for the nine hundred brothers behind me, but we were deceived into the 100,000 mountains by the fake news from your Datang, so we went back in vain, no one can swallow this breath, right?"
Xiong Lie glanced at the rune paper in Zhang Qingfeng's hand, and his eyes fell on the old face that was obviously immature but hidden far beyond his real age.
"You used the princess to ask for the mountain collapse talisman to deal with us?" Xiong Lie suddenly realized that he had made an unforgivable mistake.
He always felt that Zhang Qingfeng was a greedy and unlimited, money-addicted man, and it wasn't until this moment that he realized that he underestimated him.
The smile on Zhang Qingfeng's face remained the same, and said: "I have a life-saving grace for the princess, and she promised me that I will be grateful when I find you, where do I deserve to use these things?"
"Besides, you killed my twenty-seven brothers as soon as we met, but they all found here to escort the princess, but they died at your hands, even if it was a misunderstanding, I asked you to compensate for a few bows and crossbows, a few pairs of armor, is it more? If time can be turned back, I would rather exchange my life and all the belongings of the nine hundred brothers of the Dragon Slayer Alliance for their rebirth, you will save them!"
