Chapter Twenty-Six: Midnight Terror
Today's night is undoubtedly the most difficult to get through.
Ever since they knew that the thieves were around the area, everyone cheered up. The silver ingots have not been completely cleared out, but the tax silver is as much as 10 million taels, and it will not be possible to completely move it out for a while.
Lu Pengyuan gave the order to rest, and they must maintain sufficient physical strength. As long as you wait until tomorrow and find someone to go down the mountain, there will naturally be a royal army to come and reinforce you.
The vigil was extremely boring. Since the silver ingots are all here, there is no reason why the thieves will sit idly by. With Lu Pengyuan as the center, a hundred sergeants sat in the lobby.
"Brother Tang, have you already discovered Shen Ze's abnormality?"
Lu Pengyuan put the firewood into the fire to make the fire burn more vigorously. With the mountain wind, it has begun to rain outside. Some cold winds rushed in through the cracks of the ancient building, and it was very cold around.
"Do you remember that when he first came here, he said that there was no one stationed here."
Tang Yun didn't gather next to the fire, he kept standing by the window, looking out of the window.
Lu Pengyuan sneered: "He's lying, obviously deliberately luring us here." ”
"As you just said, the captains of the Right Xiaowei are all first-class masters. Even if that group of people are ambushed, it will take time to fight each other. Not to mention that it will take even more time to nail them to the mountain wall. We've only been in for half an hour, and there's no way they'll have time to do that. ”
"That thief has already fled, if they hadn't done it, my subordinates would have died at anyone's hands."
"Think about it, you can kill an elite sergeant in an instant. In addition to the ambush of the Qing thief, there is also ......"
Tang Yun wanted to speak and stopped, but Lu Pengyuan's eyes widened.
can kill these people in an instant.
Who else could there be besides the nine-headed demon dragon?
"You mean...... That demon dragon is around here! Lu Pengyuan felt that his voice trembled a little.
Tang Yun was silent: "Everything is just inference. But if you think about it, since the demon dragon has snatched all the silver, if it is controlled by someone, wouldn't it be easier to guard it than to have thousands of troops. ”
Lu Pengyuan slapped his face: "That's right!" No wonder the thief was so quiet when he said that no one was stationed, and he was afraid that we would hear it, it turned out to be because of this! ”
But soon, Lu Pengyuan became a little scared again: "Since that demon dragon is here, will we be in any danger?" ”
Tang Yun glanced at the wind and rain outside the window: "Since the demon dragon didn't kill us at the first time, it will be safe to stay here for the time being." ”
Lu Pengyuan nodded again and again, not to mention that it was raining outside, even if it didn't rain, he didn't want to go out.
The scene behind the Deshu Gate is vivid.
Dead leopard riders, both entrails and bones, were crushed to pieces.
The fragments of the corpses were so connected that it was impossible to tell whose bones were which.
Lu Pengyuan shuddered, he was a general at a young age, a member of the royal family, and it would be a pity to die here.
Three quarters of the hour.
Lu Pengyuan scattered the soldiers and distributed them in all corners of the ancient building, paying attention to the movements outside in real time.
He was really scared, at this time, no credit mattered. The tax money was lost, and the empress was furious and blamed at most for a demotion. The big sins are all borne by King Yan, and he is still a member of the royal family.
Putting the knife beside him, Lu Pengyuan filled the fire with more firewood. Anyway, there are a lot of broken wooden planks around here, and the burning flames can dispel the chill in my heart a little.
Time passed slowly.
Whether it was Tang Yun or all the sergeants present, they didn't have the heart to sleep.
Nearby, there was nothing but the sound of the wind coming in from outside, and the bouncing sound of the flames burning the wood. The surroundings are very calm, and the silence is terrifying.
Seven quarters in the hour.
The hour is ......
The silence was suddenly broken, and a thunderclap fell from the sky, and a boom exploded outside.
The thunder was so loud that some of the sergeants, who were already drowsy, were suddenly awakened. Some people directly pulled out their knives and looked out of the ancient building in horror.
"What's that!"
Some of the sergeants were already screaming, and the men near the window lattice crawled away.
The thunder was followed by a bolt of lightning.
The arc of lightning rolled from above the nine heavens, and in an instant, it was reflected in the entire sky.
Outside the door.
There is a dark shadow.
Nine massive heads swayed back and forth, each one huge, with huge horns towering.
A dull roar, accompanied by a clapping sound, landed on the lattice. The pasted window paper on the windows of the ancient building is also trembling wildly at the moment.
Call!
The wind was blowing in from outside.
The low roar was like a bell that fell on everyone's heart. Some people's hearts trembled wildly, and the sound almost made people's scalps tingle.
Tang Yun roared angrily: "Don't mess around, prepare your bow and arrows, he won't be able to enter!" ”
The sergeants panicked, and intense fear fell on the hearts of the people. Some people can't bear this pressure and rush out the back door.
"Don't go out!" Tang Yun's words were already a step too late.
If one escapes, there is a second. However, the rest of the people had not yet escaped, when they suddenly heard a heart-rending scream outside.
"Ahh
It was as if a knife had cut half of a person's body, and with a pop, a severed hand fell from the outside.
The severed hand was still moving, and it took a while to stop. The severed hand was as if it had been forcibly pulled from a person's body, and the bones were still implicated in it.
The sergeant who followed behind him fell to the ground in fright, his legs limp.
Outside the door, there was a scarlet eye, staring at everything in the ancient building.
The eyes were bright.
With a bloodthirsty color.
As if, looking at a group, prey.
"Brother Tang, think of a way, don't you have a way to catch demons, hurry up and take it away!" Lu Pengyuan didn't care about his face, and begged in a lamented voice.
Brother Tang frowned, the Demon Hunter Division is not an immortal, they are also mortals. When you meet a monster, you will also be hacked to death with a knife.
But such a monster is really not something they can approach.
"He can't get in, don't go near the doors and windows, let's retreat into the lobby!"
Tang Yun found the clue, the black shadow outside seemed to be imprisoned by something, and he couldn't enter it at all.
In other words, as long as you stay in this ancient building, it is safe for the time being.
After a while, the dark shadow outside also seemed to find it impossible to enter, and he left through the window lattice.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, the sergeants were all standing together.
The statue behind him, the face opened, and the two bloody tears became more and more obvious. It's just that everyone didn't notice at the moment.
It's three o'clock.
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and immediately after, the entire ancient building began to shake.
It's the ground that is shaking.
Knock knock!
Tang Yun ran to the window, and at this moment, there happened to be a thunderbolt passing by.
Under the thunder light, there was a black shadow, slamming against the mountain. The mountain began to shake, and the ancient buildings built on the mountain were also shattered by the violent impact.
