Chapter 329: The Ghost Slave Who Went and Returned
Just when Ouyang Xiaoleng and Xia Qiu felt at a loss, there was movement on the cold gray wall again. Ouyang Xiaoleng habitually protected Xia Qiu behind him, and the two of them remained silent, quietly observing the changes on the wall.
I saw a short figure suddenly appear on the gray wall, the figure had a thin figure, and the wine jug hanging from his waist was still swinging, and for some reason the ghost slave No. 4 who had disappeared returned.
It landed lightly on its feet on the ground, grinned a mouthful of yellow fangs, and said after a funny salute, "Meet again, two adults!" ”
Ouyang Xiaoleng raised his hand to summon the Night God Ice, and used it against the throat of the Ghost Slave No. 4 and said, "You were planning to trap us in this enchantment just now, but now you are pretending that nothing has happened!" ”
"This young master, oh, no, Lord Demon King Fox, if I really want to trap you here, why do I need to come back? How could someone as smart as you not come up with such a simple question? Ghost Slave No. 4 replied pretending to be pitiful.
In fact, it did have the intention of trapping Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng here, but after thinking about it, if they were lucky enough to let them escape from here, they would definitely not spare themselves easily. And this young man is the master of the new generation of demon realms, and when the time comes, if he lays a net to capture such a small ghost slave, its good days will come to an end. Thinking that they had already promised it that when they found the entrance to the secret passage hidden in the mountain behind the Chenji Palace, they would give it a bag of gold in exchange. It wouldn't end well if it betrayed Mother Rakshasa, but at least let it have one more day of fun with the most beautiful gold in the world.
Although Xia Qiu could also see that this ghost slave No. 4 was not telling the truth, but now it was the only one who could take the two of them out of the barrier of this street, so he had to persuade Ouyang Xiaoleng first: "Xiao Leng, let's see if it can take us out of here first, and then it's too late to get angry!" ”
Ouyang Xiaoleng listened to Xia Qiu's words, took back the Night God Ice and warned the Ghost Slave No. 4: "Don't try to play any tricks, otherwise I will find you at the ends of the earth!" ”
"Understood, understood!" Ghost Slave No. 4 smiled and nodded.
"Now can you tell us how to get out of this barrier?" Xia Qiu asked with a pleasant face.
"Hehe, I love to listen to this little girl, not only is she beautiful, but she is also polite!" After speaking, Ghost Slave No. 4 knocked on the wall in front of him, and then turned to Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng again, "I don't know what spell Mother Rakshasa has cast on me and the other ghost slaves, so that we can easily pass through the barrier on this wall, you just need to hold me and pass through together!" ”
"Hold you?!" Ouyang Xiao asked disdainfully. He already has a habit of cleanliness, and he really doesn't know how to start when he looks at this dirty ghost slave.
"Good!" Xia Qiu agreed without thinking about it, and after she grabbed the shabby clothes on the ghost slave's body, she turned her face to look at Ouyang Xiaoleng.
"Got it!" Ouyang Xiaoleng shook his head helplessly, and only gently twisted the ghost slave's clothes with his fingertips.
"Let's go!" Ghost Slave Four said and walked straight towards the wall.
This time he didn't lie, just in the blink of an eye, Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng had already passed through the wall. And what made Xia Qiu feel even more incredible was that on the other side of the wall was a lively street, and the surrounding area suddenly became noisy, compared to the lifeless atmosphere of the street just now, it was full of life.
As soon as he walked out of the enchantment, Ghost Slave No. 4 became much quieter, and it silently walked in front of Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng, although its steps were not large, it could move very quickly. Pedestrians would occasionally turn their gaze to the strange combination of the trio, but it would soon become a hell of a thing.
They walked through one trail after another, going around and around, and the further they went, the more desolate the scenery on both sides became, and finally came to the back mountain outside the Chenji Palace. In Xia Qiu's mind, this place has always been quite mysterious, she remembers that the first time she entered the Chenji Palace, it was the path behind the mountain outside the palace, and the entrance to the Demon Horse Forest was also in a cave nearby, she was very curious about where the secret passage would be hidden.
As far as the eye could see, there were only rocks and moss around, which made Ouyang Xiaoleng wonder if the Ghost Slave No. 4 had deceived them again. He had already made up his mind that if it dared to continue any conspiracy, he would surely kill it with one sword.
Oni Slave No. 4 led them to jump between the rocks, and although it looked old, it was unexpectedly agile. Gradually, it led them to the most remote part of the back mountain and stopped at a huge rock.
"Why don't you leave?!" Ouyang Xiaoleng asked.
"We're here!" Ghost Slave Four raised his head and looked at the sky as he spoke.
"Where's the entrance?" Ouyang Xiaoleng looked around and asked
"Don't worry, Lord Demon King! Wait a minute! After saying this, Oni Nu Four stretched out a hand into the air and whistled.
Soon, a small black dot appeared in the air in the distance, and the black dot gradually became larger, and Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng could clearly see that it was a crow. It circled over their heads a few times before landing on the outstretched arm of Oni Slave Four.
Ghost Slave No. 4 touched its head with his other hand and said, "Good boy! ”
Then he showed the crow on his arm to Ouyang Xiaoleng and Xia Qiu, although it looked like an ordinary crow, but its beak was embedded with metal. Ghost Slave Four carefully lowered the arm supporting the crow towards the boulder at his feet, and the crow jumped down.
It jumped on the boulder a few times, and magically began to hit the surface of the boulder with its beak, and the boulder and beak collided and made a clattering sound. When the sound suddenly stopped, Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng noticed that the crow's beak had poked into a hole in the surface of the boulder that was not easy to detect. After a muffled thud, the boulder beneath their feet began to move, and a boxy entrance appeared in the place where the boulder had been, and the crow flew away after the entrance to the secret passage.
"Look, I didn't deceive you!" Ghost Slave No. 4 put on a posture of wanting to invite merit and asked, "Can you give me the gold you just said?" ”
"Wait until we've confirmed where this secret passage leads, and continue to lead the way!" Ouyang Xiaoleng ordered.
"Alas! Ok, good, good! Who made me meet you both! Ghost Slave Four shook his head and complained, and then walked into the entrance of the secret passage first.
The entrance was connected with a downward staircase, and soon after they all entered the secret passage, the boulder above their heads slowly returned to its original position, and the entire secret passage became very dark. Ouyang Xiaoleng transformed into a demon fire and cast a spell to make it move with the three of them. The demon fire illuminates the space inside the secret passage, and the square secret passage is dug very neatly, and the ground is paved with bricks and stones to facilitate walking.
After continuing to walk down for a while, they entered the flat area in the secret passage, and from time to time water droplets dripped from above and fell on their bodies, Xia Qiu reached out to catch a drop, and put it in front of his nose and smelled it, there was no special smell.
Ouyang Xiaoleng calculated the distance they had walked, and after entering the secret passage from the boulder on the mountain behind the mountain outside the Chenji Palace, they had already walked underground for about five thousand meters, but they still hadn't reached the end of this tunnel. As I was thinking about where this secret passage leads, I felt like I had stepped on something under my feet, and when I looked down, it was a pen. He picked up the pen from the ground, an old-fashioned rollerball with a crack in the body of it that he stepped on.
He held up the pen and said to Xia Qiu, "Look! ”
Xia Qiu saw it and exclaimed, "This ...... Who the hell left here?! ”
"I'm guessing nine times out of ten, it's God blessed." After Ouyang Xiaoleng finished speaking, he put the pen in his pocket.
"It's a possibility!" Xia Qiu nodded in response.
"He really found this secret passage twice!" Ouyang Xiaoleng muttered to himself, then raised his head and asked the ghost slave No. 4 who was leading the way in front of them, "How long will it take to get to the exit?" ”
"Soon!" The fourth head of the ghost slave did not reply back
As Oni Slave Four said, they entered the ascending staircase shortly after, with a circular mechanism at the end of the staircase. Ghost Slave No. 4 held the mechanism and turned it hard, and the stone in front of them slowly opened to the side, and the fresh air suddenly poured into the secret passage, making Xia Qiu couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Ouyang Xiaoleng couldn't wait to fly to the ground, and found that they were in a cave in the barren mountains outside the royal city, and when the open rock just now returned to its original position, it looked like it didn't know that there would be a secret passage hidden in it.
Ghost Slave No. 4 was bent on taking the gold and slipping away, and as soon as he walked out of the cave, he asked, "Now you can give me the gold!"
"Do we look like we have so much gold on us, you can go with me to the Chenji Palace to get it!" Ouyang Xiaoleng raised his hand and said.
"You don't want to trick me, you don't have to guess that you want to trick me into entering Chenji Palace and then arrest me, right?! I didn't expect your dignified Lord of the Demon Realm to backtrack! Ghost Slave Four yelled in dissatisfaction.
"That's a lot of nonsense, if I really don't want to give it to you, what can you do to me?!" Ouyang Xiaoleng tilted his head and glanced at it and said.
"I'm really unlucky today, just go!" Ghost Slave No. 4 cursed angrily and stomped his feet on the spot a few times.
Xia Qiu guessed that Ouyang Xiaoleng didn't seem to plan to let Ghost Slave No. 4 leave like this, although it was just a small person, and according to what it said, it was no longer working under the Rakshasa Mother, but the useful information it could provide them was definitely far more than that. Judging by the fact that it was able to easily pass through the barrier and find the secret passage, it also proved her idea.
