Chapter 164: Darkness Chen Cang
A burly figure walked in front, looking at its expressionless face, it still had a murderous aura, and with its huge size, it was heart-wrenching. Gu Gang carried a huge shield on his back and moved forward at a uniform speed, and the second prince and Kuang Duwei, who were riding horses behind him, had to trot up to keep up with him......
Kuang Duwei looked at the tower-like figure in front of him, and secretly thought to himself: It stands to reason that this guy's appearance and physique are so outstanding, there is no reason why he has never even heard of it~ And seeing that his waist, legs and arms are so thick, it is by no means comparable to ordinary practitioners. I don't know if it's a "master", let alone the explosion of internal strength, I'm afraid that just a light shot will be difficult for ordinary people to parry!
However, when I thought that the other party was the person next to the second prince after all, I was immediately relieved: he was the first person under the Son of Heaven, and it was not surprising that there was such a peerless powerhouse as a personal guard. But Li Zhaoyang knew that the River Temple and his party might be in danger, but apart from him, he didn't even bring half of the guards, it seems that this Gu Gang is really not an idle person.
The river temple was only more than twenty miles away from the tent of the second prince, almost in the blink of an eye, and the three of them looked at the map and finally saw the destination from a distance. At this time, the sky was already bright, but the surrounding environment seemed a little gray, and wisps of moisture swept past the three of them, mixed with an indescribable smell, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
The dilapidated temple stood alone in the wilderness, the door wide open, and with the hazy mist around it, it was like a giant beast that chose people to devour! At that moment, Li Zhaoyang and Gu Gang almost glanced at Kuang Duwei's waist in unison, and were shocked to realize that the Demon God Mirror was really emitting a faint silver light!
As soon as they saw this scene, everyone's hearts suddenly swelled up with an extremely bad feeling: Could it be that Kuang Duwei's analysis was correct? At that moment, the three of them circled around the temple from a distance, and sure enough, they found that there were traces of the presence of large armies around them, and the footprints extended eastward to the end of the line of sight, and they did not know where they were going.
The three of you look at me, I look at you, and they all see a trace of anxiety in each other's eyes. At this time, Kuang Duwei turned his head to look at the open temple door in front of him, swallowed his saliva, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, do we want to go in and investigate?"
The second prince nodded solemnly and turned his head to look at Gu Gang on the side. The latter understood, immediately untied the huge shield behind his back, blocked it in front of him, and cautiously leaned over.
The other two followed him closely, not even daring to get out of the air, and seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the River Temple, the three of them felt a cool breeze blowing from the broken gate almost at the same time. Even though it was hot early autumn, the howling wind was icy and biting, as if it had come from another world.
Although there is only one exit from the River Temple, and its boundaries are not wide, through the dilapidated temple gate, it is found that the environment inside is not as dark as imagined. Due to its disrepair, its tiled roof is full of loopholes, and countless rays of light penetrate it, looking from the outside to the inside, like staggered stone pillars blocking the gate and preventing people from entering.
Gu Gang probed his head and looked at it for a while, and found that it was empty except for some dimness, so he reluctantly bowed down and got in. Li Zhaoyang and Kuang Duwei stood at the door, their eyes constantly scanning the dilapidated temple.
I saw that the facilities inside were extremely simple, and there were originally window lattices on the walls on both sides of the temple gate, but for some reason they were sealed. There is only a single log beam overhead to support the tile roof, and two wooden pillars stand directly in the middle of the house to support the beams.
There are many broken stones piled up in the corner of the house, and in the middle of the place, where the statue of the river god was originally placed, is a black rumbling hole!
The cold and biting wind poured out from the underground cave, as if it came from hell, blowing straight into the scalps of the three of them and chilling their backs! The bold Gu Gang stood at the entrance of the cave and looked down for a long time, and couldn't help but pick up a stone and throw it down. I only heard the continuous crisp bumping sound getting farther and farther away, until it was finally inaudible~ Judging by the sound, this hole is unfathomable!
Finally, he took two steps back, turned around and asked, "Your Highness, this hole is not narrow, and it can allow almost any corpse monster to pass through." It seems that Master Kuang expected to be true, half a month ago, the corpse monster army feinted to attack the defensive line, and its main force really sneaked in from here! But we can't see anything clearly in the black and slimy underneath, and we don't know if there is any danger, so our subordinates don't dare to rush in to investigate! You see~ Should we think about it for the long term?
Li Zhaoyang said "um", and just wanted to answer, but his eyes were fixed and he stared at the former's back. Seeing the unnatural looks of the two people opposite, Gu Gang was only stunned for a moment, and without thinking about it at the moment, he immediately waved the giant shield in his hand, and the "hula" behind him was a vigorous sweep!
After the loud bang, there was a deafening roar: "Roar!" The shield was impartial, and it just happened to shoot an equally huge figure!
I saw a huge water corpse king, and I didn't know where to come out, and when I saw the shield flying over, I only stretched out my hand and held it down. But even if it has amazing strength, it still can't withstand this terrifying impact, and was slapped backwards by Gu Gang~
A water corpse king suddenly appeared, and the latter was also taken aback! However, he quickly reacted and shouted: "Your Highness, you quickly get out of here, this animal can be dealt with by one of your subordinates!"
Li Zhaoyang didn't panic, he only said "Please be careful", and immediately pulled Kuang Duwei out of the house. As soon as the two of them exited the temple gate, they suddenly heard an earth-shattering explosion coming from inside! At the same time, countless dust was raised, which was carried out by the strong wind, and they couldn't open their eyes.
The accident came too suddenly, although he avoided it at the first time, but at this time, Kuang Duwei was still a little frightened: obediently, this Gu Gang's strength is also terrifying, just after a face, he gave the water corpse king, who is known for his strength, a dismount! Fortunately, he is there, otherwise the beast secretly appeared behind him, I am afraid that ten lives are not enough for it to toss!
Regardless of the two people who retreated for the time being, Gu Gang in the temple roared angrily at this time, and waved the giant shield in his hand continuously, preventing the Water Corpse King from taking another half a step. Looking at the latter is also very big, but compared with the former, it is still not enough. I saw that the Water Corpse King was forced to retreat one after another by the strong wind raised by the shield, and at this glance, the momentum alone was a lot shorter!
It came out of the hole in the ground, originally intending to sneak up on these uninvited guests, but how did it expect to meet an evenly matched opponent this time. It watched as the other two people escaped, and judging by the other person's clothing, it also knew that the identity of one of them was definitely not simple!
Although it can't speak, it is also a "corpse king" and understands the truth that the thief captures the king first. At that moment, he couldn't stop roaring, and the whole temple was buzzing, and he desperately wanted to rush out of the temple gate. It's just that the strong man in front of him blocked the way, but he can't get any benefits from him.
With a "snap", the water corpse king was careless, and his arm was swept by the shield again, and he immediately bared his teeth in pain. The next moment, I saw that he no longer had a hard fight with Gu Gang, but took two steps back sharply, and roared into the cave: "Roar!"
But after a while, I heard a dense collision and "He" sound from below~ It turned out that there were still a huge number of corpse monsters hidden in the cave!
At this time, Gu Gang heard it clearly: if they swarm out, there will only be three of them, and I am afraid that there will be no way to parry it!
So, he made a quick decision, stepped out suddenly, raised the giant shield above his head, and slapped it on the head of the water corpse king! Smelling the evil wind overhead, the latter didn't turn his head, and his body only turned around~ The shield edge could be wiped against its body and fell, and after a loud "bang", it raised the dust in the sky!
The Water Corpse King stretched out his hand and grabbed the pillar beside him, and with a "click" sound, he forcibly broke it with his bare hands! Gu Gang just stood up, only to feel that it was dark in front of him, and he didn't think about it at the moment, and raising the shield was a block.
At the same time, the power instantly acted on the latter through the shield surface, and even Gu Gang, who was as strong as a mountain, couldn't help but be slapped to the ground with a "bang"!
How could a small ruined temple withstand such a big movement, only to hear the clicking sound spreading everywhere, and even the walls began to shake! Seeing this scene, Gu Gang realized something, hurriedly stood up, hugged the giant shield in front of him, and shouted: "You who have been stabbed by a thousand knives, since you are out of the ground, go back to hell with Lao Tzu!"
Hearing the movement in the cave getting louder and louder, he no longer hesitated, holding the shield and directly slamming into the water corpse king with his body! The latter was not to be outdone, and immediately stretched out his hand to support the shield, and made a steady lunge, and forced Gu Gang who rushed forward to push down.
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to give up, Gu Gang shouted, and used all his strength to push forward, even if the water corpse king was also infinitely powerful, he was a little unbearable at this time, and was pushed straight backwards. It took a deep breath, straightened its waist, and tried to use a trick to regain its disadvantage. Unexpectedly, he didn't notice that he was at the edge of the hole at this time, and the next moment, suddenly his feet were empty, and he fell into the black and slimy hole!
Many corpse monsters that originally surged up in the cave had just stretched out their arms to climb the edge, and before they could lean out, suddenly there was a black in front of them~ A huge figure smashed down at once, and immediately fell down with a large "bang......
Gu Gang didn't stop there, he slammed the giant shield into the hole and clamped it tightly, turned around and grabbed the only remaining roof beam, and ripped it off with a "snap"! The beam that had lost its support broke almost at the same time, and he could only hear the rumbling overhead, but in the blink of an eye, the entire roof collapsed......
The two people outside were still waiting for each other, only to hear a loud noise coming from inside, even Kuang Duwei, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, couldn't help but be thrilled by this terrifying power! The next moment, in his stunned eyes, the entire River God Temple actually collapsed!
The moment the river temple collapsed, a "behemoth" crashed out and ran to the two of them. Looking at the gray-faced Gu Gang, the second prince was expressionless, only holding his hands behind his back, and asked, "What about the corpse king?"
The former clapped his hands and said with some excitement: "Ahem! Your Highness, don't talk about the water tiger, just now my subordinates saw the opportunity quickly, and buried them in the ground while the bunch of corpses under them had not yet crawled out! According to the opinions of the subordinates, even if they dig non-stop, I am afraid that it will take a lot of work to reopen the exit! Why don't we take this opportunity to slip away?"
The latter nodded when he heard this, turned around and turned on his horse, and shouted: "When the corpse monster army moved the tiger away from the mountain, it has been half a month now, and I don't know how many of them there are and what their purpose is. Now that the matter has been investigated, let's stop delaying any longer and return to camp as soon as possible!
Kuang Duwei, hurry up and take your men and horses back to your territory, don't let those animals take advantage of the loopholes. The main palace would send carrier pigeons and fast riders to send messages to the cities they might pass through, so that they could take precautions...... Ride!" After saying that, he rode his horse in the direction of the dust.
Sure enough, Kuang Duwei's guess was not wrong, the corpse monster army was attacking the defense line on the surface, but in fact, it was "secretly Chencang"!
Today, many things make sense, if the entrance and exit are simply under the river, of course, there is nothing to worry about. But the enemy has a huge number of water corpses! They must be secretly trying to connect the underground passage to the opposite bank, and then let a large number of water corpses open up the dark river, taking advantage of the dry season of the Qiandu River, deliberately send a group of corpse monsters on the ground to forcibly cross the river. In fact, let the main force of the corpse monsters sneak through this underground passage to the rear of the coalition forces!
Although the second prince, Li Zhaoyang, had sent fast riders and carrier pigeons to report the news to the cities of Dragon Scale and Bihai, because he did not know where the target of the corpse monster was, the entire military camp was panicked.
