When I dug a few more holes in the side, I looked closely, and there were these weird metal pipes buried at the bottom.

The inside was empty, and you could hear that something was not quite right when you hit it with your hand, and the red metal pipes were connected to each other, like veins in the human body, densely packed all over the ground.

Fang Shiliang and I jumped and dug, digging one on the left, and another twenty meters out on the right, and this kind of thing was buried everywhere.

I have to say that seeing such a big formation, I also saw sweat on my forehead, and I felt an inexplicable sense of panic in my heart.

Fuck me.

What the hell is the old religion trying to do???

These metal pipes can be determined to be buried by the old religion, the reason is very simple, on each section of the pipe, about two centimeters apart, you can see a very peculiar totem.

That kind of totem should have something to do with the belief of the black-robed king....... It was a humanoid pattern, completely black, as if wearing a robe, and the whole body was shrouded in darkness.

"What is this for?" Fang Shiliang asked me tentatively, squatted down, looked at the metal pipes carefully, and the confusion on his face was even worse: "There is something flowing inside....... But the amount of flow is not large........ It doesn't seem to be a ........."

"It's liquid." I whispered.

"Liquid??" Fang Shiliang was stunned: "What liquid??" ”

"I don't know about this, anyway, on the whole, this is very much like a part of the formation, the old sect will not do meaningless things, especially when it comes to fighting with these gentlemen in the northeast........" I frowned, and said with some worry: "I hope I think too much, these things are better only a small piece, if the mountains are full of this thing, or even the entire Black Dragon Mountain is shrouded in it, I'm afraid we have a smaller chance of winning with the old sect........"

"How did you find these things?" Fang Shiliang looked at me curiously, his face full of doubts: "I don't even feel it, if I don't break the most superficial layer of soil, I won't feel the kind of temperature change you said at all." ”

"Maybe it's because I'm close to them." I smiled, a little helpless on my face: "Didn't I talk to you a few days ago about the thing I originally met." ”

Fang Shiliang was stunned for a moment, nodded, and explained.

"The old sect's handwriting is not small, I am convinced."

As I spoke, I sighed and touched the metal tube at the bottom with my hand, and said in my heart what does this metal belong to?

Gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin are not ....... I've never seen it at all, it looks like plastic, it's red and shiny, could it be that there is a layer of paint on the outside?

"We don't know what's inside, but by all accounts, it's certainly not a good thing." I sighed, "Let's go up the mountain and take a look again, check along the way." ”

Fang Shiliang snorted, his expression was as solemn as mine, and it was estimated that he also felt the seriousness hidden in this.

Taking him up the mountain, we marched about 500 meters to the top of the mountain, and every dozen meters, we would find a random place and dig a pit down.

Every pit hides those metal pipes.

Yes, every single one.

"Holy shit....... Is it necessary for the old religion to play so big....... If it's the same as you say....... It's really a battle....... Are we still fighting fart? Fang Shiliang frowned, and almost gritted his teeth and scolded: "If you can envelop the entire mountain inside, the scale of the formation can be so big, and the power must be not small." ”

"Let's see." I sighed, and my mood was indescribably heavy: "We seem to be underestimating them." ”

At this moment, in the forest directly in front of him, there was a sudden rustling sound.

Fang Shiliang's reaction was very fast, he raised his hand suddenly, raised the mountain and river sword across his chest, and was fully prepared to meet the enemy.

I didn't say anything, and quietly flashed a step behind Fang Shiliang.

With this resistant old brother in front, I don't need to go up and be a bird.

The rustling sound was clearly the sound of someone moving in the woods, rubbing against the plants in the woods.

I have to say that the speed of the sound is very slow, similar to that of a snail, but the target is certain, and it is clearly directed at us.

"Get out of here! Don't play tricks in there! Fang Shiliang yelled, I don't know if it was to strengthen his courage or to scare people, anyway, the tone was quite intriguing.

At this moment, the rustling stopped, and it stopped at the edge of the woods.

Before we could think about it, an animal's claws slowly poked out of the thorn bushes.

It looks like a dog's paw, but follow the paw and slowly look up....... Isn't this a fox??

This is still a fire fox, the fur on its back is red, its eyes are half-open, its face is full of blood, and there is sticky blood in many places on its upper and lower fur.

Fang Shiliang glanced at me, a little uncertain.

"It looks like it's my own person." I whispered.

"Immortals?" Fang Shiliang frowned and said, "Could it be controlled?" Didn't you listen to them? There are many immortals who let the old sect control it, and then deal with us in turn. ”

I looked at the mortally injured and dying fire fox, was silent for a while, and said, probably not.

"It's begging us to save it." I whispered.

That's right, that fox has become a fairy family, and his eyes are like rats, almost like a living person, and he can express many emotions that a living person can understand.

There is only one emotion in its eyes, pleading.

"Let's go over and have a look." Fang Shiliang sighed: "I'll help you control the wind, you go and see it, if the situation is not right, Lao Tzu will kill it with a sword." ”

I hummed, walked over with Fang Shiliang a few steps, and took a closer look.

In the process, the fox's eyes also brightened a lot.

It was a ray of hope that came out of my throat with a whimpering sound, as if begging us to save it.

I was about to reach out and touch it, intending to get its injuries checked, but I didn't think about it....... Its belly swelled abruptly.

It's like a ball full of water, and there is a clear sound of water in it.

Before Fang Shiliang and I could react, we didn't understand what the situation was, but we only heard a muffled bang, and the fire fox's stomach exploded without warning.

The guts, the blood, and lots of dark green pus with a rancid smell splashed all over us.

"What the fuck?! This is a human flesh bomb?! Fang Shiliang scolded with disgust on his face, and while wiping his face, he asked me: "Is this still saved?" ”

I squatted on the ground, not dodging the splattered filth, and just looked at the fox on the ground, and a very strange emotion arose in my heart.

Grieved.

I know that this fox has nothing to do with me, and at worst, it can barely be considered an ally.

But I don't know why, looking at it looking at me with pleading eyes, I can't save it, that kind of reality....... Maybe it reminds me of the old man, right?

Old man, Miao master, Qibao, Changlong elephant...... I couldn't save anyone, just like now, I can only accept the reality.

"Woo......."

After the fox's abdominal cavity was blown up, it still did not stop breathing immediately, but whimpered, and tears continued to flow out of its two cloudy eyes.

I subconsciously helped it wipe its tears, and hurriedly wiped it, but found that its tears were more and more, and in the end, what came out were not tears, but blood with a fishy smell.

"Same as last time........ I whispered, as if speaking to myself, and inexplicably bent down to pick up the bloody fox and held it tightly in my arms.

Fang Shiliang looked at me with some concern, but he didn't dare to speak.

"Those who want to save can't be saved....... Can save the wounded....... But I can't save ........," I muttered, "The old religion taught me a lesson....... It's the fucking lesson that taught me a lesson........"

"Old Shen?" Fang Shiliang cautiously shouted, "Are you okay?" ”

I heard Fang Shiliang's voice, but I didn't react, holding the bloody fox, bending over and squatting on the ground.

The heartbeat is getting faster and faster.

Last ...... Was it the same last time I was in a sea cave?

Bang, bang, bang.

The sense of rhythm is very strong, and the intensity is also very heavy, and that should be the sound of life itself.

But for some reason, it sounds lifeless.......

More and more scenes, those memories of the past, are constantly sweeping and churning in my mind like a tsunami.

"Old Shen?"

"I'm fine."

I whispered, closed my eyes, and tried my best to calm down, but my heartbeat was getting faster and faster uncontrollably, and even Fang Shiliang heard it.

"I'm just a little uncomfortable, but I'll get better soon."
