Chapter 55: Cao is useless
Without the entanglement between Wang Wei and Hu Qingbo, the road ahead should have been a smooth road, but when we looked up, we found that this was not the case.
The trail was still winding, and at the end of the trail, the smog seemed to be thicker.
It made me feel as if there was some terrifying old youkai at the end of the path, where visibility was barely ten paces. And that eerie atmosphere is something we haven't seen before.
I asked Xiao Feng in a low voice, "Xiao Feng." Do you think there's anything at the end of this path...... Circumstance? ”
Xiao Feng nodded and said: "It's really a little wrong, I've never encountered such a terrifying situation before, is there another trap in the place where Cao is useless?" ”
I shook my head and said, "No...... Now in addition to Wang Wei and Hu Qingbo, there is only one Wulong left, who else is he? ”
"Perhaps...... What else is there to come? ”
Xiao Feng and I discussed as we cautiously moved forward, this is the core location where Cao Wufu is imprisoned, and it stands to reason that there should be many people guarding it. But we walked all the way and didn't see anyone.
The smell of the remains of ghosts filled the air. It seems as if someone had passed by and killed the guards.
I looked around, looked at it for a while, and asked, "Could it be Guo Fengxian and they arrived here first?" ”
Xiao Feng nodded lightly: "There is this possibility, it looks like the surrounding guards have been killed." ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Feng looked back at Guo Fengxian's direction, but unfortunately the haze was so serious that neither Xiao Feng nor I could see anyone.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a sound similar to that of a snake spitting letters, and as I followed the sound, I saw a pair of red eyes faintly emerging from the darkness in the distance......
My first reaction was, this thing wasn't a snake, was it? But soon after I saw the outline of his head, which was supposed to be a man, not a snake.
"Be careful, purple second grade. The five elements belong to water. Xiao Feng had already seen through that this was a powerful ghost, and he had also clearly seen the abilities and realm attributes of this powerful ghost, and reminded him.
I hurriedly began to prepare for the battle, but before I could make a move, suddenly a golden light appeared from the haze in the distance, and then slashed at the back of the red-eyed head, and this guy didn't even make a move or speak, so easily received the lunch.
And the owner of this golden light that killed the red-eyed ghost was Shu Yi. Obviously, among the powerful ghosts that may appear today, only Shu Yi has such a terrifying metallic ability.
Sure enough, in the fog, Shu Yi stood in front, and Guo Fengxian and Su E walked out of the fog left and right.
The three of them seemed a little surprised when they saw us, and Guo Fengxian saw that there was no one else around, so he said humbly: "Master, have you encountered any difficulties along the way?" ”
I nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao Feng and I bumped into Hu Qingbo and Wang Wei on the way......"
When the three of them heard this, they were startled, and Su'e asked in disbelief, "You ran into the two of them?" Hu Qingbo and Wang Wei's abilities are not bad, and the two of them cooperate tacitly, if they meet head-on, how can you escape from them? ”
I smiled and said, "Originally, if it was only me and Xiao Feng who didn't have a chance of winning, but thanks to the timely arrival of the Lord of the General Administration and Song Qian in the underground palace, they were entangled with Hu Qingbo and them, and we could take the opportunity to get out." ”
Su'e frowned and asked, "The two of them arrived?" That's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...... If you are willing to cooperate, wouldn't you be able to kill Hu Qingbo directly? ”
Guo Fengxian sneered and said: "Hehe, little junior sister, this is that your mind is not careful enough, if the master and the girl are really present, how can those two old foxes in the underground palace do their best?" ”
Su E suddenly realized: "Yes, according to the ideas of those unprincipled ghosts in the dungeon, if the master is on the scene, then they will definitely be lazy...... After that, let the master and Hu Qingbo lose the battle, and they will benefit again, right? ”
Guo Fengxian nodded and said: "That's the truth, so it's a wise choice for the master to retreat in time." ”
Shu Yi interjected at this time: "Hu Qingbo, they are not a problem now, since the underground palace is entangled with them, then we had better hurry up and rescue Cao Wufu's useless guy first." ”
Guo Fengxian was a little unhappy when he heard this: "How did my senior brother become a useless guy?" ”
Shu Yi rolled his eyes: "His own name is useless, no wonder others." ”
Su E smiled: "Senior brother is really useless, or my second senior brother is smart." ”
After that, Su'e took the lead and said: "Let's go, since we have eliminated all the guards here, and Hu Qingbo has been controlled by those helpers in the underground palace, then we can just go and save the senior brother." ”
Under Su'e's leadership, the five of us walked towards the deepest part of the haze, but along the way, I was thinking about two questions.
The first question: Who is the helper sent by the dungeon who has not shown his face, and will he hide in the shadows and assassinate us?
The second question: Did the Ninety-Five Supreme arrange Hu Qingbo and Wang Wei to guard Cao useless? He should understand the importance of Cao Wufu, and he also knows that we will definitely rescue such an important person at all costs, but is it a little rash to send only the two of them?
However, before I could figure out these questions, Guo Fengxian in front of me had already seen something, and said in a low voice: "Look, there seems to be something there...... "Serve his blood."
We followed Guo Fengxian's guidance and looked over, and vaguely saw a strange thing ten steps away.
It was like a huge seat, and a person sat on it, because the haze was so thick, we couldn't see that person's face and facial features clearly, and we couldn't even distinguish between men and women.
Guo Fengxian looked around, and when he was sure that there would be no traps, he raised his voice and asked, "Who is in front?" ”
A moment later, a sound like the roar of gold and stone sounded, and it was the same voice I had heard in the dungeon before.
He is the old ghost of the purple realm, and the Dark Fire Pearls on my body are thanks to him, although it has been so long, his voice has not changed at all.
The old ghost said slowly: "Is the second child here?" ”
This name is really indecent, which directly caused Guo Fengxian to almost turn around and leave: "Senior brother, can you call me without such a pun name?" ”
The old ghost smiled: "Fengxian, you're here, come here, I've been waiting for you for a long time...... I didn't expect that this time we calculated everything, but we were still counted by the Ninety-Five Supreme first, and seeing that the great work was about to be completed, I was forced by him to take the lead and fell behind, which is really a bit embarrassing......"
Since we have determined that this guy is the Cao Wufu we are looking for, we hurriedly stepped forward.
Halfway through, Su E asked, "Senior brother, there are no traps around you, right?" ”
Cao Wufu sneered twice through the haze: "Don't worry, the Ninety-Five Supreme is not stupid enough to lay a trap under my nose, he should know that any trap will be cracked by me if he sees it once." ”
This Cao Wuxian is quite domineering when he speaks, and the whole person reveals a kind of aura that makes people look up, listening to his words, I can't help but snicker, this guy seems to be more clever than Guo Fengxian, with such a helper, it will definitely not be a problem to get the Ninety-Five Supreme.
Under Cao Wu's assurance, we calmly walked into the haze, and after getting closer, I finally saw the true face of Cao Wu, the head of the three sages who only heard his voice and did not see him.
On a huge stone bench, a thin old man was chained to it with heavy iron cables, and the old monk looked like he was settled.
He is Cao useless.
