Chapter 17 The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada
Seeing the corpse, and then smelling the slight smell of blood in the air, everyone's originally happy minds sank suddenly.
After going through hardships and getting here, it is not the end, and the road ahead is still not easy.
The fence pine was tall and long-legged, walked forward quickly, and took a closer look, but there was an exclamation, shouting loudly: "It's Yuan Zi Wen, it's Yuan Zi Wen and the others." ”
We were left behind, and when we heard this, we couldn't help but be surprised, we didn't know who that person was, but fortunately, the short men of the fence were quite convinced of our care along the way, and hurriedly explained: "It is another group of mountain people and strongmen, and the forces under his command and his own cultivation are not much better than our boss, and the news we heard is actually from his territory, but we never thought that he actually climbed this dangerous place." ”
We had walked all the way along that dangerous path, and because of the fierce wind, we didn't see too many traces of our predecessors, but when we arrived at the "Nantianmen", we knew that someone had laid a trap and that someone had died here, so we immediately wanted to understand a little.
This so-called plough lava cave is no longer a secret, and the temptation of the colorful heavenly god stone has made countless heroes unable to hold back and have come one after another.
Even if the Gangfeng area is terrifying, it can't stop people's greed.
A multicolored mending stone can be reborn and surpass mortals, and there are few people in the world who can resist such a temptation.
We walked forward, but saw that the death of these people was quite miserable, some of them had their heads dropped, their chests were cut open, revealing a belly of internal organs and intestines, some of them had ulcerated skin all over their bodies, showing countless holes, like honeycomb coal, some of them were wounded by swords, and there were deep sword marks even in the ground, and some of them had their heads smashed off by blunt objects, and their heads were smashed directly into the chest cavity and left......
We have gone through the war, and no matter how bloody we are, we have become numb, and we are not too frightened, on the other hand, the people around the fence pine, although they are all murderers, are also shocking and pale.
If you think about it carefully, it is probably because they know these deceased, so they push themselves and others, and have a deep sense of substitution.
After a moment of observance, the fence came up to us, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed deeply towards us.
We turned sideways and did not bow to him, and Qingqiu Yan asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Fence Song's eyes were red before, and he looked like an outlaw, but at this moment he was very respectful, and said to us: "Before, when I got the news of the colorful heavenly stones, I was greedy and greedy, and I thought that the prince and general Xiangning had a kind of thing, so I came in a hurry, but I never thought that my strength was limited, and if you hadn't taken care of you on the road, I would have died; And as far as this is concerned, I suddenly understood, not to mention whether there is still a mending stone in the plough lava cave, even if there is, it is not something that we people are blessed with, so I have a request here......"
Qingqiu Yan said quietly: "What? ”
The fence was loosened and said that the three of them could walk with us and take care of us.
Wang Ming frowned, but Qingqiu Yan naturally didn't allow it, and said: "Traveling on the same road before, I see that you and my diners have a friendship and take care of them, but now that you have arrived here, you no longer owe each other, why do we have to take care of you?" We came here to save people, where is the time to meddle? If you are afraid, turn around and go down the mountain, and you will be fine. ”
The fence pine bowed down again, and said I understand, but it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, even if we turn around and leave now, I am afraid that it will be more than auspicious - rest assured, we only ask for our lives, and I hope that the holy woman can let us follow, but if there are miscellaneous matters, just give orders, and I am willing to do the work of dogs and horses.
Qingqiu Yan was still unwilling, and said with a sneer: "I have never heard that you want to run to be a dog at the risk of nine deaths, you go by yourself, there is no need to say more." ”
Her attitude was resolute, and the fence pine saw that she could not move, but sighed, and once again clenched her fists, and said that since the holy woman would not believe us, then forget it, lest you still think that we are going to murder you—if you come, then you will be safe, and we will go first, and we will help you find the white bird, and show your sincerity.
With that, he led the group towards the complex of buildings in front of him, and after a while, he entered the wall and disappeared from the end of our sight.
Wang Ming listened beside him, his brows furrowed slightly, and after those people left, he couldn't help but ask, "Since these people are willing to help, why do they want to push them outside?" It doesn't make sense. ”
Qingqiu Yan turned his head, his eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "Do you think he has a good heart?" ”
Wang Ming said I think this stupid big man is quite sincere?
Qingqiu Yan's face turned cold, and he said calmly: "Along the way, we support each other, you may have some feelings of suffering in the same boat, but you don't realize the essence of these mountain people - if you are a good person, it is impossible to fight in the difficult and dangerous place of Buzhou Mountain, the huge insect field, you can live everywhere, why give up the near and far, and seek fish from the wood?" He whispered softly at the moment, begging each other softly, but once it touched the conflict of interests, he would definitely change his face. ”
Wang Ming doesn't believe it, seriously? Isn't that fence pine a friend of your vassal, and has he helped you with errands?
Qingqiu Yan said that this matter is one yard to one yard, and it can't be generalized, and the mountain people only have interests in their eyes, but no feelings - if he is really afraid, just go down the mountain, why bother talking about it? He refused to go down because he had already suffered a lot of hardships and suffering, and before he was rewarded, he was unwilling, and the words "willing to serve the work of dogs and horses" would definitely be left behind after the real colorful divine stone appeared, and even if he was sincere, others might not admit it.
Hearing her words, we all stopped talking.
Qingqiu Yan is not a native of Zhou Mountain, and we are all just outsiders, and the judgment of those mountain people is naturally based on her.
These things are just episodes, and reaching the legendary "Land Temple" is not our end.
We need to find the little demon girl, and if possible, we will have to collide with Mr. You head-on.
After a brief communication, we also headed inside.
It is said to be a land temple, but in fact it is like a small city, and seeing this dazzling array of glowing buildings, radiating light in the dark night, makes me have the illusion of returning to the Tianshan Shenchi Palace.
We passed through the city walls, and because of some delay before, there was no sign of the Fence Pine and his group, and as we listened, we could feel them moving towards the east.
We have to be a lot more careful with their swagger.
The reason why this is so is because the pile of corpses just now reminds us that someone has already arrived here first.
Who is the guy who killed those people?
We can all be sure that, if that's right, it's basically Mr. You's party.
That guy may not have expected me and Wang Ming to arrive here under the leadership of Qingqiu Yan, but the various arrangements made along the way must have been prevented.
The target of this prevention is not only our group, but more likely outlaws like the fence pine and the garden Wen, who heard the wind and risked their deaths.
According to Mr. You's configuration, we know that he must have manpower in the city to observe the changes here.
In fact, we just parted ways with the Fence Pine group for another purpose than distrusting them.
That is the reluctance to be targeted.
can fight in this rivers and lakes, no one is a fool, and before acting, there are naturally many considerations in mind.
The three of them walked as far as they could, in the corners and shadows of the building, and in the process of nervous stealth, I tried to use my Great Void Technique and Earth Escape Technique, only to find that they were all faintly sealed by some majestic power, and could not be used.
Wang Ming told me that in this place, a long time ago, there was a very good chance that there really were gods.
Although this kind of deity is fundamentally different from the kind of deity in our impression, it is majestic and inviolable, so my means must also be restrained by the divinity attached to the architecture.
Wang Ming was very serious, his eyes were like torches, looking left and right.
This small town looks small, but the further you go inside, the more expansive it becomes.
From the point of view of the area of land, it really doesn't have to be much smaller than the gathering place of the three-eyed witch clan, and many of the buildings are very large-scale, a bit like the proportion of the three-eyed witch tribe living in it, and people walk in it, inexplicably feel a little grandiose.
After doing this for a quarter of an hour, Wang Ming stopped and beckoned to us.
I was so engrossed in my march that I immediately reacted, hid next to him, and asked what was wrong?
Wang Ming didn't speak, but pointed diagonally above the northeast corner with his hand.
I followed his finger and saw a dark figure crouching on the eaves of a tower, and the whole person was integrated into the building.
After a while, I recognized the man.
I've seen that guy, he is Mr. You's subordinate, that guy who is tall and strong, with a head like a pit viper, and at this moment he is like a strange python, coiled on top of the pagoda, his eyes are green, and he is looking in the direction of the east.
To the east, is the direction where the fence pine and his party are traveling.
Wang Ming looked at me for a while, stretched out his hand, patted me on the shoulder, and said let's go, touch my tongue.
I nodded and followed Wang Ming.
The two of them walked like a fly, and soon arrived at the bottom of the pagoda, Wang Ming asked me to guard below, lest the guy escape, and he went to attack alone.
I waited patiently below, and after a while, I saw a black shadow falling from above, with a fishy smell, I knew that Wang Ming had missed, and at that moment he also pulled out the sword of Zhige, and stabbed towards the black shadow with a sword, but I never thought that this thing could still rely on the strength of his waist in mid-air, and suddenly twisted, and actually jumped to the other side.
Seeing him fall into the other wall and prepare to flee, suddenly a dark shadow came and kicked the man in the waist.
When I looked up at the figure, I couldn't help but be stunned.
Disaster?
