Chapter 223: The Ancient Well
The fierce battle at the city gate gradually subsided, replaced by sporadic street battles scattered throughout the Night Dragon City, the figures of the guards everywhere, and the sound of horns, screams and fighting came from all directions, and the flames were rushing into the sky as if they were in chaos.
As Hong Yuan expected, the army of death row prisoners who stormed the city gate was quickly defeated, and a vigorous beast arena death row prisoner riot quickly evolved into a large-scale hunt, and many city defense soldiers rushed to suppress the riot of the death row prisoners when they heard the news.
Soon, Hong Yuan found that martial law had been imposed on many streets, and almost every traffic artery was guarded by large groups of city guards, strictly checking anyone who was still walking around the streets at this time. The houses on both sides of the street were all closed, except for a few well-informed people, most of them didn't know what was going on tonight, and some even thought that the soldiers of the Hualong Empire had killed under the Night Dragon City, and they shivered in the house behind closed doors.
The situation became worse and worse, and Night Dragon City quickly laid a net of heaven and earth, and the city walls were full of soldiers with torches and swords unsheathed, and there were many alliance masters to suppress the formation. At this time, even a small fly would not want to fly out of the city.
The people of the Chu family and the Zhao family even poured out of the nest and received the death order of their respective family heads, and they must catch Hong Yuan and Zhao Xuemin. Especially Chu Tianyang, who suddenly changed from a fluttering groom to a crazy vulture, led the Night Dragon clan to constantly hover over the Night Dragon City, and immediately rode the Night Dragon to pounce when he saw any movement or heard any news, and frantically searched for Hong Yuan's whereabouts like a madman.
In the battle of the beast arena last night, he lost, and he lost unexpectedly, and a dignified night dragon guard marquis actually lost to the unknown Hong Yuan, which made him lose face. Originally, Chu Tianyang thought that he was unlucky, but what he didn't expect was that even more unlucky was still to come.
Zhao Xuemin, the bride who was about to spend a candle night with him in the cave room, was actually abducted by Hong Yuan, which made Chu Tianyang completely crazy. Tonight, if he doesn't catch Hong Yuan and kill him, he will have no face in his life, and he will not be able to raise his head in front of the world.
In the winding alley, Hong Yuan pulled Zhao Xuemin and ran wildly.
Basically, the larger streets had been sealed off under martial law, and he had to weave his way around the dark alleys, occasionally carefully jumping over the houses and high walls that stood in his way. The road, which originally took less than half an hour, ended up walking around for almost an hour and a half, and along the way, he was almost caught up by the city guards and the Storm Legion who were searching everywhere several times. Fortunately, in the end, according to the instructions of the map, there was no danger to the destination.
What appeared in front of the two of them was a very ordinary house, with closed doors and windows, and an earthy yellow exterior wall, which looked no different from the surrounding houses.
"Hong Yuan, what kind of place is this?"
Zhao Xuemin asked, puzzled in his heart, unable to understand why Hong Yuan brought himself and the Storm Bear King to this place. This house looks too ordinary, and it can't sense the breath of any masters, can you really hide here and escape the pursuit of soldiers and horses all over the city?
"Make an appointment with someone to meet somebody. ”
Hong Yuan replied in a deep voice, his eyes were also puzzled.
This house is not big, there is a small courtyard behind the house, standing outside the door, you can clearly sense the situation inside without drumming your soul Hong Yuan. There is no one in the house, after going through the wall to look closely, the eaves are covered with cobwebs, the windowsill is full of dust, obviously no one lives in it has long been deserted, there is no underground passage, and I don't see Du Xiaozi and Hong Python and others.
Could it be that the map is wrong, or that you are in the wrong place?
Hong Yuan quickly spread out the map, looked at it again and again in combination with the surrounding terrain, and made sure that he was not in the wrong place. In the distance, the barking of hounds and the sound of heavy and chaotic footsteps could be heard. In the air, snowflakes the size of goose feathers suddenly appeared, and the temperature plummeted and cooled.
Zhao Xuemin also jumped in over the wall, "Hong Yuan, the soldiers of the Storm Legion have chased after you, hurry up!"
Zhao Xuemin became nervous, the Storm Legion has been fighting with the legions of the Hualong Empire on the front line all year round, and there are many experienced masters, and some of them have a way to track them. Stay in one place a little longer, and you will soon catch up, and once you are surrounded by the cavalry of the Storm Legion, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"No, the stakes are very high, it is impossible for Du Xiaozi to mark the wrong place, there must be something wrong somewhere!"
Hong Yuan muttered to himself, there is no need to use suspicious people, and he will never doubt Du Xiaozi's loyalty. What's more, Du Shorty still has the Blood Bat King and Hong Python and others by his side, and it is impossible to play any cats. Ordinary subordinates may still have the probability of not being loyal enough, but the war pets who have been subdued by the war pets will never betray. Then, it is very likely that there is only one explanation for this situation, what problem they encountered, maybe they were accidentally discovered, or they encountered some rock layer or underground forbidden to dig in.
The barking of the dogs was closer, and a large group of cavalry appeared in the darkness, and Zhao Xuemin's eyes were sharp, and he found that it was the most elite snow team in the Storm Legion. The leader is no one else, it is the second elder who has cultivated to be powerful, and the snow team is rolling in with a murderous face, and the one leading the way in front is a huge snow mastiff, which is a variant of the ancient flood beast, and the nose is the most sensitive, and it is targeted and wants to get rid of it.
In the distance, the roar of the night dragon was heard, and thirteen huge night dragons roared in formation. Chu Tianyang also seemed to have received the news, and led the Night Dragon Clan's team to rush over as fast as possible.
Zhao Xuemin's face turned pale, "Hong Yuan, the chasing soldiers are about to arrive, go, go!"
Hong Yuan didn't answer, not only did he not leave immediately, but suddenly lay down, put his ear to the ground, and listened intently to the movement underground. There is no need for Zhao Xuemin to remind him, Hong Yuan also knows that the situation is urgent, but he is not in a hurry, and he still calms down and listens and senses carefully at the critical moment.
The snowflakes drifting in the air intensified, and the wind became colder.
The second elder of Piaoxue and the others seemed to have seen the figures of Hong Yuan and Zhao Xuemin, and began to accelerate the galloping of thousands of horses, and the roar of the night dragon was also closer, and Chu Tianyang rode the night dragon and accelerated through gritted teeth.
Zhao Xuemin's face turned even paler, and the Storm Bear King also panicked, spinning restlessly, and finally the person stood up and raised his head and roared at the sky, faintly transforming into a human-headed bear body. Its injuries were far from recovering, but sensing the super pressure of the second Drifting Snow Elder and many night dragons, it seemed to know that there was no way out, so it simply went out and broke the net.
Hong Yuan was still lying quietly on the ground, as if he had forgotten that his pursuers had put everything out of the way. Leaning slightly, just when Zhao Xuemin was desperate in his heart and had to take off the pipa to prepare to fight hard, Hong Yuan suddenly stood up and pulled Zhao Xuemin over the fence and went straight to a well a hundred meters away. Behind him, the Storm Bear King followed closely.
"The city lord has an order to arrest Hong Yuan and bring the young lady back to Drifting Snow City. ”
"Anyone who dares to stop will be killed!"
The voices of the cavalry of the Storm Legion came, and the fast horses and whips rolled mightily, and the two elders rushed to the front, their faces expressionless and murderous. This time, Hong Yuan and Zhao Xuemin caused too much trouble, and even the two of them could no longer secretly cover up and show mercy.
The roar of the night dragon was closer, Chu Tianyang swooped down from the sky like a black lightning, raised a sharp spear, and one person and one dragon collided directly with Hong Yuan, "Hong Yuan, die!"
Chu Tianyang didn't have any nonsense, he only spit out the word 'death' in his mouth, and this word alone completely showed the resentment and anger in his heart. Hong Yuan doesn't die, he can't see anyone, one of the two must die!
Hong Yuan didn't raise his head, pulled Zhao Xuemin to accelerate suddenly, and drummed up the mana in his body to push the speed to the extreme. Zhao Xuemin didn't know what Hong Yuan was going to do, but the experience of life and death together in the underground tomb made her have unreserved trust in Hong Yuan at a critical moment, without any doubts, and also increased her speed to the extreme. The distance of hundreds of meters flashed by, and quickly came to the well.
It is an ancient well where the residents draw water and drink, and it is covered with a thick and heavy stone slab except for the water pump. Hong Yuan didn't say a word, he rushed up and smashed the stone slab with a punch, "Zhao Xue, jump!"
Zhao Xuemin's heart was nervous, and she felt the concern coming from Hong Yuan's palm, so she closed her eyes and followed Hong Yuan to jump down the black ancient well. Behind him, the Storm Bear King hesitated slightly, and then jumped down with the same thud and splashed a large splash. As soon as the two of them jumped down, sand and rocks flew around the wellhead, and thirteen night dragons fell from the sky like lightning. The ground shook, and the cavalry of the Stormwind Legion surged up.
"Damn!"
Chu Tianyang jumped off the night dragon and looked at the unfathomable ancient well with anger, his eyes red with unprecedented anger.
