Chapter 29: Demon Venerable
"This is the entrance, huh?" Xue Ying said softly, for fear of disturbing the "people" in the gossip cave.
From our point of view, the entrance of the cave is like a sewer well, the tree hole is horizontal, like a thick water pipe of the sewer, I was afraid that there were magic soldiers or something in it, so I didn't dare to go down, so I pulled out the dagger on the trunk of the tree and threw it in.
It seems that Li Qingzhao's space spell is only aimed at the outside of the tree trunk, and the space in the tree hole is still normal - the dagger is gravitational and falls below.
"Doesn't seem to be fine, shall I go down and take a look?" Yukizakura is eager to try.
"Don't, I'll come," I said, "since Master Zu has appointed me to go down, it is estimated that there will be no danger for me to go down, so it is difficult for you to say." β
Xue Ying nodded: "It seems that this is the truth, I am just worried that something will happen to you." β
"Although you are good at kung fu, if you go down, I will worry more about you than you worry about me." I said it seriously.
Xue Ying's face turned crimson and she snorted.
I was just about to go down, but Xue Sakura grabbed me again: "Wait a minute, I'll borrow a rope and tie it to your waist, if you encounter danger, you can pull the rope, and I will pull you up immediately." β
This method is good, Xue Ying ran down the bottom of the tree, the rope is a mountaineering tool, we have it in each backpack, Xue Ying was afraid of not being safe, so she brought two, both wrapped around my waist, and the other end went around a smooth branch and used it as a fixed pulley.
I supported the entrance of the Bagua Cave with my hands and put my legs into the hole, the direction of gravity inside was vertical, and the waist was folded, which was a little uncomfortable.
When my body was completely inside the hole, I followed the direction I came over, my head up, not big or small, just enough to use my hands and feet to support the cave wall, and move down little by little.
"Don't worry, I'll pull you." Xue Sakura said above her head.
I looked up at her, let go of my hands and feet, my body slid down steadily, it felt like a bottomless pit, I had slid down more than 30 meters, I estimated that I had reached the "ground", my feet were still empty, I used my feet to support the wall of the cave again, took out a small flashlight from my waist, and shone down, it was still a black hole.
"Anyone?" I shouted, and there was an echo.
"You're in there?" A voice came from outside the cave wall, like Li Qingzhao.
"Ah, Immortal Venerable, I'm here." I say.
"What the hell?" Li Qingzhao asked outside.
"Not yet, it's bottomless." I replied.
"Be careful."
"Okay." I let go of my feet and continued to slide down, sliding deep again, and suddenly, my waist tightened, and I looked up, and the top light had become a small point, and I could faintly see the snow cherry blossoms.
"What's wrong?" I asked, even though it was a long distance, there was a hole in the tree that transmitted the sound, and the communication between them was smooth.
"The rope isn't long enough!" Xue Ying said, "You wait, I'll borrow another one." β
"No, I see the bottom." I said, and lowered my head again to shine a flashlight to confirm that it was not an illusion, and that it was about two meters under my feet, that is, the bottom of the tree hole, which looked like a soft sandy area, and on the side, there seemed to be a wooden door.
"I'm untied!" I shouted at Yuki Sakura again, otherwise I wouldn't be able to land.
"You'll wait for me!" Xue Ying said, soon, her body appeared above, the rope was still tense, probably tied the other end of her rope to the branch to fix, Xue Ying slid down the rope, and the small skin thigh gently rode on my face.
"Oops, I'm sorry." Xue Ying smiled, straightened up, and jumped to the ground first, very steady.
I unhooked the hook around my waist and landed on the ground, and in front of me was a wooden door, the kind of quaint wooden door with copper rivets on it, but it still looked very new, and there was a handle on the wooden door, I was about to reach over, and Yuki Sakura grabbed me, she reached out, slowly grabbed the handle, and pulled it back gently.
didn't pull it open, Xue Ying looked at me, and clenched the doorknob again, obviously using true qi, and then pulled it suddenly, the wooden door opened, and it was originally dark inside, but in just a second, it emitted a bright light, which startled me, and quickly pulled Xue Ying over to prevent being injured by a dark arrow or something.
However, there was no dark arrow, the light was bright, it was the fire, the fire from the oil lamps on the wall, it was a downward corridor, there were steps, about ten meters long, and on the walls on both sides of the corridor, there were three copper oil lamps, presumably some kind of mechanism, which would spontaneously combust when it met with oxygen - I had seen this device in tomb robbing.
At the end of the corridor, there was another wooden door with rivets, I walked down first, and opened the door hard, and the oil lamp was lit inside, but this time, the door was not a corridor, but a space of about 100 square meters, a very simple space, there are traces of excavation all around, it is a relatively rough structure, the four corners of the space, there are also four oil lamps, the lamps are larger, and they can illuminate the whole space.
"Where's the treasure?" Xue Ying muttered, why is it called space? Because it is empty, there is nothing.
"Where's the Demon Soldier?" I also muttered, the two looked at each other and smiled, and after all the effort, didn't they come for nothing?
"Has it been stolen?" Yukizakura frowned.
Before the words fell, I suddenly felt the ground under my feet and began to tremble!
"Not good, earthquake! Come on! I took Xue Sakura's hand and ran to the door, the wooden door, I don't know when it was closed, I kicked it with enough true qi, the wooden door was very thick, the slightest bit did not move, and with my kick, the shaking of the ground, also stopped, at the same time, I saw a strange shadow, appeared on the wooden door, it was not the shadow of me and Xue Sakura, but behind us, the shadow projected by the copper oil lamp, what kind of monster is this......
Xue Sakura also saw the shadow, and her hands trembled in fright, and she didn't dare to move.
"Don't be afraid, it could be ...... Demon Soldiers. I comforted her and slowly turned my head back, gasping for air!
What the hell! Wolf?! No, it's an Homo erectus, a wolf-headed man!? Their torsos resemble those of humans, but they have two legs, but they have wolf feet, and they are very thick, covered in black hair, and they hold weapons of strange patterns in their hands, and they are very tall, two and a half meters long, and their heads are almost on the roof.
And!
Not one, but three!
On the backs of the three wolf-headed people, there are two wings like purple flames floating on each other!
Sure enough, it's a demon soldier!
I pulled Xue Ying behind me, three purple gases, such a big one, and weapons in their hands, Xue Sakura, who is also purple gas, may not be their opponents!
Fortunately, the three goods did not attack, but stood in the space in a zigzag shape, the fine sand on the top of their heads and shoulders, slowly sliding down - they came out of the ground, and I looked closely, it seemed that all three were female wolves, because the chest bulge was obvious, not the wolf with two rows of even Mimi, but more like people, only two, there was no black hair on the chest, very smooth, good shape, but unfortunately it was also black, and it looked similar to Africans.
They didn't move, and I couldn't get out with Yukizakura, so I had to confront them.
Xue Ying gradually came to her senses, and quietly pulled out the well moon from my waist, ready to fight with them, I returned my hand, pressed her wrist, and whispered: "Calm down, leave it to me." β
After a few more seconds of confrontation, the three wolf-headed people were still motionless, only the flames on their backs were flickering, I plucked up my courage, coughed lightly, and clenched my fists and said, "The three of them are Demon Venerables?" β
Demon Venerable, this title is made up by me, at least it sounds like an honorific titleβif they can understand it.
They're moving!
To be exact, it was the wolf-headed man standing in the front who moved, it poked out the wolf's feet, moved a small step forward, and the crescent moon long knife in his hand (long knife, the handle of the knife is a long rod, and the head of the knife is a crescent-shaped scimitar) changed from hanging in the air to piercing on the ground.
The two wolf-headed people in the back didn't move, the one on the left was carrying a double knife, and the one on the right was carrying Fang Tian's halberd (but it wasn't like Fang Tian's halberd, the halberd head was super big, one square meter), and the two demon soldiers were still pointing at me with weapons, and their expressions seemed to be more nervous than me.
"Can you, can you understand me?" I asked tentatively.
The crescent moon sword demon soldier at the front, narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at me suspiciously, and actually nodded!
"If you can understand! Under Chen Yang, he had no intention of offending the three Venerables, but was ordered by the ancestor to come to visit. "I threw the pot to Li Bai, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to get in, besides, his old man is far away in the fairy world, and if the demon soldiers are angry, they won't be able to harm him.
The demon soldier at the head crooked the wolf's head, not knowing what it meant.
"Uh...... Don't get me wrong, we're not here to hunt for treasure. "I also emphasized that Wang Kai said that treasures are guarded by demon soldiers, and they will only come out when they detect that someone has seized the treasure, right?
After I finished saying this, the demon soldier in charge nodded again, and then, he turned his head back and looked at the other two demon soldiers, who suddenly sank, and soon, all sank into the sand, and disappeared, but their weapons were left on the ground.
"What the hell?" Xue Sakura whispered.
"I don't know, let's see." I say.
Soon, the ground shook slightly, and the two wolf heads popped up again, each holding a super large wooden box in their hands!
When we were completely out of the sand, two demon soldiers walked towards us with boxes in their arms!
I leaned my back against the snow sakura, and the snow cherry tree had my back against the door, and there was no way back, so I had to observe secretly and watch quietly.
The two demon soldiers walked about a meter in front of us, stopped, put the wooden box on the ground, their fingers were very long, half-human, half-wolf claw form, sharp nails, like opening the express package, cut the seal on the wooden box, and then, open the box, turn around, show us, the whole action is uniform, like twins, their appearance and figure, are almost the same - of course, their faces are the same, animal appearance, as a human is difficult to distinguish the difference.
After the two demon soldiers finished turning the box, they retreated, picked up their respective weapons, and returned to their original state.
I looked down at the box, it was nothing more than some gold, silver, jewelry and other valuables, the box was very large, each cubic meter, estimated the weight of these treasures, about twenty tons, the magic soldiers had a lot of strength, just now I saw them move the box, as easy as moving a fitness yoga ball.
"May I ask Your Holiness, what does this mean?" I cautiously asked, "Is it to ...... the treasure?" Dedicated to us? β
