The rubble splashed across Liu Minghao's cheeks, leaving several scars of different shades, and blood immediately flowed down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The winged bird spread its wings, its body flew up slightly, and swooped down again, Liu Minghao had nowhere to dodge, his body twisted hard, holding the dagger with one hand, and holding the protruding rock with the other hand, he raised his legs and kicked violently to the belly of the winged bird.

The two connected, making a muffled bang, Liu Minghao couldn't help but snort, only to feel that his legs were numb, as if he was kicking on an iron plate.

The winged bird let out a sharp chirp and flew backwards, its hard wings swept across the rock wall, and a huge force struck, Liu Minghao snorted, and there was a hot stinging sensation on the back of his hand immediately, almost unable to grasp it, and the dagger began to shake away from the rock wall.

At this moment, Xiao Hei's long tail appeared in time, like a long whip, and slammed into the winged bird's wings.

The winged bird let out a strange cry and fled backwards, Liu Minghao took the opportunity to stabilize his body, grabbed Xiao Hei's long tail, and his body rushed upward.

At this time, only a few steps away from the cave, Liu Minghao took a deep breath, kicked his feet against the rock wall, flipped his body, stepped on Xiao Hei's body, and reached the cave in a few vertical jumps, jumped up suddenly, and flew into the cave.

Falling to the ground and tumbling up, Liu Minghao didn't stand firmly, so he grabbed Jonathan who came over and said sharply, "Where is the gem?" ”

Jonathan's face suddenly froze, his right hand subconsciously blocked the pocket on his waist, his eyes widened slightly, and he still denied it, "I didn't take anything of any gem." ”

Liu Minghao knew that Jonathan loved money like his life, so he didn't bother with him at the moment, raised his hand to press his shoulder and exerted force slightly, and the other hand stretched out like lightning and dragged down the bulging pocket.

The pocket is quite heavy, open it and see that there are three fist-sized rubies stuffed inside, Liu Minghao really can't laugh or cry, these gems add up to more than a dozen pounds, it is difficult for Jonathan to be able to follow them over the mountains and mountains, all the way to the journey, without revealing the slightest flaw.

The sharp chirping of the winged bird sounded outside the cave again, Liu Minghao immediately stood up, walked quickly to the edge of the cave, jumped on Xiao Hei's body, took a few steps to the top of its head, raised the pocket in his hand, and threw it with all his might.

"Ah......h

As the pocket was released, there was an immediate commotion under the rock wall, and the black ape stopped attacking, raised its head and howled, chasing in the direction where the pocket had disappeared.

Several winged birds hovering over the rock wall also turned around, raised their heads and let out a long howl, their wings stretched, and chased away.

In an instant, the enemy was gone, leaving only the mess all over the ground, and Jiang Jie and the others who were almost exhausted.

Xiao Hei returned to the ground with a relieved Liu Minghao and a battered Jonathan.

Liu Minghao jumped down, and Jonathan also climbed down Xiao Hei's back in despair.

"Jonathan." Eve ran over and grabbed him by the arm, and when she saw that he was unscathed, she couldn't help but blame him for not stealing the gem, putting everyone in danger.

Jonathan lowered his head and listened to Eve's nagging, seeing the scene just now, he knew that he was at a loss, but he didn't dare to complain about anything, so he could only sigh helplessly and look at Liu Minghao with extremely resentful eyes.

Liu Minghao naturally didn't care about his gaze, and was about to speak, when his eyes suddenly darkened, only to feel a tingling pain on his face, and his body couldn't help shaking.

Raising his hand to wipe away the flowing blood, he saw that the wound on the back of his hand was already swollen and black, and the blood stains were not bright red, but purple-red with a ghostly glow.

Adesbay walked over quickly, carefully looked at Liu Minghao's face, and grabbed the back of his hand to check it, "This is the manifestation of the undead qi entering the body." ”

"Is it serious?" Liu Minghao frowned slightly, only feeling that his vision was a little blurry, and his eyes were faintly swollen and painful, but there was no other discomfort.

"It's not a big problem." Adesbay also breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Minghao's wound was blurry with flesh and blood, and it looked quite scary, but it was actually just a skin injury, because it was contaminated with the toxins on the winged bird's body, causing the undead qi to invade the surface of the body, which could be expelled with the Holy Light Technique.

After this toss, everyone was more or less colored, and even the scales on Xiao Hei's body were caught a lot by the winged bird, fortunately, the demon beast's self-healing ability is extremely strong, and Xiao Hei can also absorb the power of the undead, at this time, the wounds on the body have begun to converge, but there is no need for special treatment.

Adesbay took out the artifact and cast the Holy Light Technique, and as the obscure spell sounded, a soft white halo slowly bloomed.

Liu Minghao only felt a gentle flow of heat enveloping his body, and the black purple on the back of his hand quickly receded, and the exposed red flesh began to converge and scab.

No one noticed that a black purple appeared in his eyes and disappeared very quickly.

"We have to leave as soon as possible." The wound recovered, Liu Minghao waved his hand to put away the jackal, discerned the direction, and said in a deep voice.

At this time, although they got rid of the pursuit of the undead creatures, but the commotion caused just now, as well as the dead corpses of the black apes all over the ground, it is very likely to attract other dangers, and everyone did not dare to stay longer, so they simply chased and escaped, and did not deviate too far from the original path, and returned to the previous mountain road after a short rest, and continued to move forward.

……

The rest of the journey was relatively smooth, and the group crossed the ridge and saw a valley that resembled a plain, and through this valley, and then over the mountain peaks in front of them, they approached the edge of the Hamna Tower.

The group stopped at the edge of the valley, and at this time they were in the middle of a stone forest, with strange stone pillars standing jagged, and stones of various sizes dangling over them, looking crumbling and in danger of collapsing at any moment.

Jiang Jie walked up to Liu Minghao and said in a low voice, "Something is wrong. ”

Liu Minghao nodded slightly, his face was serious, he had long noticed that along the way, something seemed to be following them, although he didn't see any trace, but the feeling of being watched by people has not been able to dissipate, after entering the stone forest, this feeling is even clearer, with his current mental value, such a situation is definitely not his own suspicious and random speculation.

Obviously, Jiang Jie also had the same opinion, and even Adesbay seemed to notice this abnormality, his back straightened, and he was always vigilant, not daring to relax in the slightest.

A black shadow swept behind a stone pillar very quickly, like a mist, disappeared, Liu Minghao frowned slightly, he saw the black mist flash more than once, every time he wanted to capture the traces, it was in vain.

Although unfounded, he had a vague hunch that the black mist was the source of that strange feeling, as if he were scouts, monitoring their movements.

"How far are we from a fork in the road?" Liu Minghao retracted his gaze and looked at Adesbay beside him.

At this time, Adesbay held a prismatic shape in his hand, the prism was only the size of a palm, the surface was slightly distorted, and a hazy halo shrouded above, reflecting the topography of the nearby mountains and rivers.

"From this road through the valley and along the northern foot of this peak to the foot of the mountain, you enter the confines of the Hamna Tower." Adesbay's finger slides across the image, finally staying in the northwest direction.

"What's that place over there?" Jiang Jie suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the northeast direction and asked.

Liu Minghao also looked up into the distance, the sky in the northeast was extremely dark, and thick black clouds were stacked on top of each other, shrouding the mountain peaks, as if at the end of an abyss.

"The legendary entrance to the underworld." Adesbay glanced at the gloomy horizon and tapped his finger on the image reflected by the prism, "This entire underground area is divided into three parts, from the peak here to the east, all areas belong to the entrance to the underworld, and after crossing the southern peak, you enter the range of the Hamna Tower, and the rest of the area is the middle zone, and the valley where it is now is equivalent to the junction of the three regions. ”

Adesbay raised his hand and pointed to the northeast peak, and continued, "Legend has it that there is an enchantment there that blocks all the undead above the third order on the other side of the mountain, and only the low-level undead creatures can cross the barrier into the valley and move in the other two areas. ”

"The black apes and winged birds we met are low-level undead?" Jiang Jie said curiously.

Adesbay nodded, "The black ape should be a first-order undead, the winged bird is between the first and second order, the last sand monster to appear outside the forsaken land should have reached the second order, and as for the third-order undead creatures, it is said that they already have a certain amount of spiritual intelligence and can actively devour other undead to improve their own strength." ”

"In other words, as long as we don't enter that area, we won't encounter attacks from high-level undead?" Jiang Jie showed a relieved expression, although those low-level undead creatures were difficult, they could handle it together.

Liu Minghao also breathed a sigh of relief, those black shadows that seemed to be spirits behind them had been following them, he was originally worried that there would be extremely difficult undead to deal with, but after hearing Adesbay's explanation, even if there was really an enemy watching all the time, it would only be a third-order at most, but it would not be impossible to deal with, but it would not be impossible to get rid of.

"Those things are worth following us, and although they haven't done anything yet, they always give me a bad feeling that we'd better leave as soon as possible." Adesbay put away the prism, his eyes turned around in the stone forest, and once again he saw a black shadow flashing, and frowned slightly.

Liu Minghao and Jiang Jie's faces are not very good, this is also what they have been worried about, those black shadows are haunting, and they seem to be similar to the existence of envoy beasts, which means that there is also a character of envoy hidden behind them.

Although according to Adesbay, high-level undead cannot enter this valley, the undead who can adopt strategies, even if they are not strong, must be a difficult enemy to deal with.
