Chapter 268: The Forsaken City

In the mountains and rivers shrouded in fog, Yan Ting and his party walked silently on the mountain path, and occasionally there were sharp birdsongs in the air, and the sound continued to echo, and finally hid in the hazy churning mist. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"In the Land of the Nine Shadows, how could such a big fog appear?"

On the stone steps of the mountain road, Qin Sizheng stopped slightly, wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, Yan Ting on the side also exhaled slightly, staring at the hazy fog, and then turned his head to look at him.."I once heard Si Shou say that most of the places filled with nine mist-filled places have their own strange features. Maybe...... We're not far from the copper mountain. ”

"It seems that we are not following the wrong target. Qin Sizheng smiled slightly, then glanced back at the pretty figure behind him, and then restrained a little smile.."Old Yan, after walking for so long, let's rest for a while!"

Yan Ting glanced at Lingsu and nodded silently.

The group didn't go far, and rested for a while against the rocks beside the mountain road.

Someone took out a water bladder filled with spring water and handed it to the spirit element sitting on the rock at Yan Ting's signal.

"Thank you. Reaching out slightly, Lingsu pulled the stopper, put it to his lips and took a sip.

The slightly cold spring water moistened her thirsty mouth, and she swallowed it little by little, then plugged the stopper, and sat there silently without speaking.

Since being rescued, Lingsu's behavior is slightly abnormal, not only rarely does he speak along the way, but he never even asks where he is going, this little girl who has never left the thunder department, as if she has something on her mind, often mutters to herself alone, as if she has some apprehension about something.

Glancing at Lao Qin, Yan Ting's eyes narrowed slightly, and after standing there for a moment, he still walked over, stood in front of Lingsu and asked softly, "Lingsu, what's wrong?"

"Uh......" raised his head slightly, Lingsu was stunned for a moment, and then stood up.."Lord Yan......"

"Okay!" Yan Ting waved his hand, "I see that you are preoccupied, is that because of those things before?"

"No, Lord Yan, I ......" Lingsu opened his mouth, then bit his lip, but didn't say anything after all.

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Yan Ting couldn't do anything, so he comforted her slightly, and then turned around and left here.

"How is it?" Seeing Yan Ting coming over, Lao Qin asked slightly.

She didn't want to say it...... Perhaps, a little uncomfortable. Taking a deep breath, Yan Ting shook his head, but when the words came out, even he didn't believe it.

"Lao Yan ......" glanced at Lingsu secretly, Lao Qin Mo rubbed his chin, and asked thoughtfully: "You say, since the identity of Lingsu girl seems to be a little unusual, why did the head of the division take her into the Nine Shadows at the risk of his life?"

"Huh?" Yan Ting raised his head and stared at him.."What do you want to say?"

"We are in the stronghold of Dharamun, and we have encountered a person who is suspected of being powerful in all beings......" Lao Qin's expression was serious, and he pointed slightly in the direction they had traveled all the way..."For the sake of her, the head of the department actually broke off the queen himself, and also handed you a route, asking you to escort her to find a place called Taozhi Mountain, don't you think it's a little strange about all this?"

"This ......" Hearing him say this, Yan Ting seemed to realize something..."You mean, what should Taozhi Mountain have to do with Lingsu?"

"I'm afraid it's eight or nine. Lao Qin squinted his eyes and said, "Otherwise, why would we come here with thousands of mountains and rivers to find some ethereal Taozhi Mountain." ”

"No wonder she has been a little abnormal along the way...... Yan Ting nodded, probably understanding why she has this emotion..."It seems that she should know everything we know......"

"What we don't know, she should know too......"

The two glanced at each other slightly, and shook their heads helplessly.

Sitting on the side of the road and resting for a cup of tea, the birdsong in mid-air came to mind again, Yan Ting stood there and listened carefully for a while, as if he had received some information, and then beckoned everyone to continue on the road.

Because the scouts sent had been keeping an eye on the Yakshas' baggage caravan, they were dozens of miles away in front of the fog, most likely transporting copper ingots to the source of the copper mines.

And Yan Ting and the others have been hanging behind, and only sent scouts to monitor the other party, just to avoid startling the snake and being detected by the other party.

However, at this time, the baggage team of those Yaksha seemed to have increased their speed, and the scouts who were monitoring the other party sent a warning, and Yan Ting and the others naturally couldn't continue to rest, so they had to beckon everyone to continue to hurry, and speed up to catch up as soon as possible.

In this way, the two sides groped their way through the fog, and by the afternoon they had come to a bare stone platform.

Through the faint clouds and mist, you can vaguely see the spiral-shaped basin below, like a spinning top, hundreds of feet deep underground.

Standing on the stone platform, one could see the baggage caravan marching on the spiral path, and occasionally the flying yaksha could be seen patrolling in the sky, and then it disappeared into the white clouds.

Ordered his hands to look around, but Yan Ting crouched down and broke down a rock on the ground, the fractured layer was mottled with golden yellow, like irregular small particles, embedded in the dense stone.."It seems that this is the copper mine occupied by the Yakshas. ”

With the stone still on the side, Yan Ting clapped his hands and stood up slightly.."That ruin, it should be near here." Looking around, he stood on the stone platform, scanning the silhouette of the mountain in the distance.

Qin Si was following him, staring at him for a while, and then frowning slightly, "There seem to be quite a few Yaksha guards around here. ”

Nayan listened to his gaze, and sure enough, he found traces of the Yaksha clan in many places, and many of the caves scattered among the mountains and rivers were exposed in broad daylight.

"Old Qin, you said, the method of forging weapons of the Yaksha clan will have something to do with the ruins that the head of the department said. Pursing his lips slightly, Yan Ting glanced at him and said.

On the other hand, Qin Sizheng thought seriously for a while, and then nodded probably, "If it is really related to that ruin, they should pay more attention to the defense there." ”

"Send a message to Luo Zhen and ask him to send someone to check and see if there is a well-guarded place around here. ”

Hearing Yan say this, Qin Sizheng nodded, fiddling with a compass, transmitting some news to Luo Zhen.

After another moment, the compass shook slightly.

"Huh, so fast?" Qin Sizheng was slightly surprised.

"I should have discovered ...... a long time ago" Yan Ting stood there, reaching out to take the compass handed over by Lao Qin.

"In ...... Southeast, thirty miles away. He narrowed his eyes and stared in that direction.."Gather the men, let's go over and have a look." ”

......

......

Not far from the copper mine, there is a valley shrouded in fog all year round, and the valley is full of green trees and lush vegetation, not only many large trees full of wild fruits, but even many creatures once lived here.

A few hundred years ago, though, things changed a little.

A large number of Nakshatras occupy the valley and seal off the sides so that no living beings are allowed to enter the valley.

In the Nine Secluded Land, this kind of tree-lined place is extremely rare, let alone this kind of place where the essence of heaven and earth is extremely abundant.

In order to fight for the right to live in this valley, many creatures fought with the Yayasha clan, but due to the disparity in power, those indigenous creatures were finally defeated and driven out of this valley.

Hundreds of years have passed, and most of the creatures that lived nearby have been hunted down by the Yakshas, and only a powerful race still lives farther away.

However, every time in the world, the Yaksha would fight with the Yaksha for ownership of the valley, and now is the time when the battle between the two sides is at its most intense, so a large number of the Yaksha are stationed on the north side of the valley to guard against the successive raids of the powerful races.

"Old Yan, are you sure that the passage that the head of the division said is in the valley?"

In the dense mountain forest, Qin Si was hiding behind a big tree, and asked in a low voice, Na Yan Ting squinted his eyes slightly, stared at the valley in the distance and said: "The head of the division said that this valley was originally a city in the Huangquan era, and when the regional fire burned down the Nine Shades, this city was extremely damaged, although some of them survived, but after the recovery of the Nine Shades, it was gradually abandoned. ”

"It turned out to be the ruins of the city in the Huangquan era, no wonder there is a spatial passage to Taozhi Mountain, but ......" Lao Qin looked at him, his eyes were a little worried.."Those yaksha occupy the valley, will they have already mastered the spatial passage." ”

"They can't be opened. Yan Ting pursed his lips and said, "Except for the Huangquan Dao Master, if anyone else wants to use that spatial passage, there must be something specific to activate it. ”

"Then we ......" Lao Qin blinked, and saw Yan Ting take out a square seal the size of a thumb.."What is this?"

"The ...... handed over to me by the head of the division" stared at the square seal for a while, and Yan Ting opened his mouth slightly to explain: "Back then, the Huangquan Dao Lord canonized a batch of city gods to protect those cities within the Nine Shadows, and this square seal is a token of a city god, which can open the spatial passage in the city and teleport us to the direction of Taozhi Mountain. ”

"Chenghuang ......"

Nowadays, very few people have heard of this title, and although Lao Qin is a member of the Thunder Division, he has never heard of it, but this does not prevent him from thinking of some questions.

"From the Huangquan era to the present, after such a long time in the world, what if there is a problem with the spatial passage and it can't be opened?" he looked at Yan Ting with a little seriousness.

"Just give it a try and you'll find out. Yan Ting gritted his teeth, and his eyes fell on the path that the valley must pass through.

"Old Yan, you must know that if the spatial passage cannot be opened, we may be trapped in the valley. Qin Sizheng looked at him, licked his lips slightly and said, "This valley is heavily guarded, and on the other side, there are a lot of flying yaksha and earth walking yakshas, even if we can break in, but as long as we are delayed by them for a while, the final result is very likely to be the end of the entire army!"

"I know!" Yan Ting took a deep breath, "But the head of the division told me that even if everyone died, the spirit element would be sent to Taozhi Mountain. ”

"This ......" Lao Qin opened his mouth when he heard this, but in the end he still didn't speak, he let out a long sigh and couldn't help but rub his cheeks fiercely.

After a slight silence, he untied his backpack and took out the contents one by one.."In this case, let's listen to the chief, I just hope that the seal really works, and the spatial passage in the city has not been destroyed." ”

"I hope so. Yan Ting waved his hand and beckoned everyone around him.

Using branches to draw some road maps on the ground, Yan Ting told everyone about the approximate location of the target, divided the number of people into several groups, and ordered people to sort out their backpacks, and then prepared to fight against the water.

At this time, the conspiracy trajectory can no longer play a big role, under the huge number of the Yaksha clan, as long as they break into the valley, it will inevitably alarm the Yaksha stationed on the other side, even if they provoke the other party to fight with another powerful race, it is unlikely to cause them much favorable situation, after all, as long as a very small number of troops are divided, it will cause a devastating blow to Yan Ting and the others, because this kind of attrition war that cancels out the advantage is really not the direction they are good at.

In this way, Yan Ting and the others surrounded the spirit element in the center, and then took advantage of the fact that the sky was gradually getting darker, and rushed towards the valley quickly, but in the blink of an eye, a fierce battle broke out on this side of the valley.

"Boom-"

Thunder fell vertically from the sky, and the rocks that sealed the valley exploded, and more than a dozen thunder guns flashed with formidable gunfire, shining through the countless rocks.

Na Yan Ting rushed in first, the shadow of the gun in his hand flashed, and a blue arc of electricity burst out, covering the past in a fan shape.

A crackling roar resounded throughout the valley, and the smell of burnt flesh filled the air, attracting the attention of a large number of flying yaksha almost instantly.

"Buzz—"

The sound of wings flapping sounded in the sky, and dense flying yaksha appeared above the valley like locusts transiting.

A single knife split a blue-skinned yaksha in half, and Qin Si was bathing in blood, his gaze looking towards the air.

"Damn, how did you come so quickly-"

"Miscalculated-" Yan Ting also gritted his teeth and splashed blood on his face.."I can't care so much, brothers, let me kill you-"

Dozens of figures with swords and guns in their hands tore through the Yaksha defenses like thunder, and everyone rushed into the valley, struggling to move forward in a sea of Yakshas......

PS: The starting point of this book is Chinese, collection, recommendation, subscription, monthly pass, these things are very important to this book.

PS2..The ending of the last chapter about the young spirit, after thinking about it, still hasn't written it, so it's a blank space at that time, which can be left for everyone to imagine.

Then, a little bit about the book.

In fact, before I started writing this book, I hadn't been in contact with online literature for a long time, and then I planned to open a book, practice writing, and pick up the former stall.

In the beginning, I wrote three beginnings, then I picked one and submitted it to the editor, and it turned out to be the book of enlightened people.

And this one, from the very beginning, was defined by me as a work of practice, and I almost wrote it as an outline.

Including practicing writing, practicing writing stories, writing techniques, and even being able to deduce ten or eight novel outlines.

The supporting roles of each story in this can actually be regarded as a separate protagonist, if you can come up with some outlines, when writing fantasy in the future, you can take advantage of the situation to deduce and improve some new ideas.

However, there are so many things reflected in one book, after all, it is still a bit messy.

Therefore, the following stories try to lead to the protagonist as much as possible, and strive to write each story well, so that your writing level can be improved, and when the next book is opened, there will still be some gains after all.

In fact, now, I am already writing some outlines, and I have a little bit of the manuscript in hand, and I hope that after the end of this book, a new book will be released. (To be continued.) )
