Chapter 37: In the Ancient City
Arrange Han Dong in the bazaar, and the three of them go to the robber's lair. Although Zhao Gang and Yunyan are not confident in their strength, they are willing to fight for the sake of their companions. They have done tasks together before, experienced life and death together, and have become brothers and sisters who share weal and pain. And after these two missions, Li Changsheng also felt the same way.
At first they were still waiting in the outer villages, ready to hunt down some scattered bandit squads, but now they were going to the bandits' lair, to hunt down the bandit leader. It's a difficult task, not only to face a formidable enemy, but also to prevent fellow players from stealing credit.
Along the way, I occasionally encountered a small group of inner disciples on the way.
"Hey, those three miscellaneous disciples actually came here, aren't they lazy anymore?"
"Three more who don't know the height of the sky. ”
"Look for death! This time, there will be three fewer miscellaneous disciples in the sect. ”
Seeing the costumes the three of them were wearing, the members of the inner disciple team who were resting on an open stall showed disdain on their faces. However, Li Changsheng and the others ignored it and went straight forward.
"There is an ancient city ahead, and the lair of this gang of robbers is on the Xuankong Mountain behind, let's rest in the city for the night first, and then talk about it tomorrow morning. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Gang thought about it and said. They weren't familiar with the terrain of Xuankong Mountain, and a night attack wasn't a good choice. In addition, the snow was still falling, and the roads were extremely slippery.
Li Changsheng and Yun Yan nodded, both feeling that it should be so.
The three of them walked through the ruined city tower and entered the ancient city directly. In the heavy snowfall, only a faint black shadow appeared on the streets of the ancient city, and the rest of the place was covered with ice and snow. From time to time, a whirlwind mixed with wind and snow whines and makes people feel frightened. Under such harsh weather, people who have not cultivated may not be able to support themselves outside for two hours.
There is not a single figure in sight on the streets, and the shops on both sides are sparse, and the signboards are already dilapidated, and some are even crumbling.
"Do you think there's something strange here?" Li Changsheng suddenly restrung the white horse, stopped and said, "It's too quiet here, the silence is terrifying!"
"Could it be that it's cold and everyone is hiding at home?" Yun Yan said.
"It's not going to be like that when you are at home, it's dinner time, and you see there's not even a single smoking house in the whole city. Li Changsheng said.
"It seems that the entire ancient city has been ransacked, and the killing and fleeing have fled, and I am afraid that this is now a dead city. After being reminded by Li Changsheng, Zhao Gang also saw the clue.
"Then let's quit first?" Yun Yan said with some horror. Although she has some cultivation, she is a girl after all, and she is still full of fear of some unknown things.
"We ran for more than ten miles to find this ancient city, and the surrounding area is deserted, and it is not a good choice to exit. Let's find a place to rest first, and strengthen our vigilance at night!" Li Changsheng said cautiously.
The trio walked cautiously and slowly down the empty streets, trying to find a place where they could spend the night. However, the more I walked inside, the more I found that the surrounding shops were even more damaged, and it was impossible to even hide from the wind and snow.
Rattle...... Rattle......
Just then, a strange sound similar to a crow's cry came. The strange voice suddenly sounded in this icy and snowy ancient city, which was terrifying.
A black shadow attacked Li Changsheng fiercely, this black shadow had a pair of huge meat wings, teeth and claws, two teams of sharp fangs grew in a blood-red mouth, and the big mouth was like Li Changsheng's neck biting over.
The Black Shadow resembles a bat, but it is dozens of times larger than a normal bat. When its big mouth opened, a strong bloody breath came, and the Chinese wanted to vomit!
"Look for death!"
Li Changsheng let out a loud shout, and slashed out a sword like lightning.
With a strange cry, the black shadow flew away with its broken flesh wings, and quickly disappeared into the darkness. Li Changsheng's current cultivation is the sevenfold peak of the Qi Spirit Realm, and his sword with all his strength has not been able to cut off its wings.
"Who is it!Get out of here!" Seeing this, Zhao Gang shouted into the air. Judging from his experience, the monster that attacked Li Changsheng just now could not have grown on its own, and it was likely to be raised by someone. There are no weird bats among the monsters in the Northwest Realm, and that kind of bats live by sucking blood.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that there was a master among the miscellaneous disciples of the Haoyue Sword Sect who could actually hurt my blood slave!" a gloomy voice suddenly came. The voice seemed to come from all directions, and it was impossible to tell where the speaker was.
Suddenly, a snowy wind struck, and the cold was mixed with a strong bloody smell.
"Hurry up and put the detoxification pill in your mouth, this demonic wind is weird!" Zhao Gang said hurriedly. The detoxification pill is also a must-bring pill when going out to do tasks, and it can be bought in Haoyue City.
Li Changsheng and Yun Yan took out the antidote pill and put it in their mouths, and the feeling of almost wanting to vomit just now was relieved.
"Gege Gege......" A strange laugh sounded, "Your low-level detoxification pill can only last for an hour, and now the entire ancient city is covered with blood poison, let's see how long you can support it." Today, I'm going to kill you here and give the Haoyue Sword Sect a dismount. This is the end of being nosy!"
"What should I do?" Zhao Gang looked at Li Changsheng with anxious eyes, and now Li Changsheng was the backbone of this team.
Judging by his vast experience, it was impossible for them to exit the ancient city now. This group of robbers may have already left a back hand and have already sealed the city gates. And here they don't even know the location of the enemy, let alone kill the enemy, an hour will soon pass, do they have to wait to be poisoned alive?
"Do you want to set off fireworks to gather fellow masters?" Yun Yan said with some shock.
"Don't use it yet!" Li Changsheng said. If they summoned the same sect, then their trip would be meaningless, they couldn't kill the bandit leader alone, and they couldn't get the contribution points of the division in exchange for the elixir for Han Dong. The few pairs of inner disciples I met on the road just now didn't dare to break in, but Li Changsheng and the others broke in, no wonder they said that Li Changsheng and the others were looking for death.
"Book Spirit!"
Li Changsheng shouted.
A thin golden book phantom appeared in the air behind Li Changsheng. The spirit of the book slowly grew larger, becoming more than two feet long and more than a foot wide, and then stopped in the void. A majestic golden light burst out from the wordless page, and the book spirit turned the third page, with four big golden characters on it: Heaven and Earth Soldier Book!
Soldier's supernatural powers: drive the tiger and devour the wolf!
