Chapter 17: The Long Night

Dongdu Mountain, in the forest not far from the mysterious sealing circle.

Lin Zhujian shook his head and said to Xing Hao: "Dongdulin has many towering trees, shrubs, and it's late at night, I'm afraid I can't find it." Let's go back. ”

Xing Hao looked at the tired crowd and finally relented: "Lao Lin, you take everyone back first, Wangchen and I will look for it again, we shouldn't go far!"

Lin Zhujian shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "Let's go here for tonight's search first, everyone go back and rest well." After Lin received the order and gathered the soldiers, he left, but he stopped alone, and was just about to turn his head, ready to walk towards the criminal hero who was still looking for clues, and as if he thought of something, he returned to the team that had left.

Xing Hao and the returning soldier changed into a new torch, dragging their tired bodies to continue searching, although they knew that there was little hope in their hearts, but their bodies still refused to give up. I blamed myself in my heart: "How can I let my brother encounter an accident in his last mission." Xing Hao couldn't help but slam his fist on the poplar tree, causing the treetop rain and dew to fall uneasily.

Jiang Wangchen couldn't bear to blame himself for his eldest brother, and he was concerned about Cao Li's safety, and he had only survived the catastrophe, silently accompanying Xinghao to search alone, while sighing to himself.

When the insects were singing and making a fuss again, the two finally gave up and left in frustration. The two were silent and walked side by side.

Xing Hao turned his head suddenly, as if he heard a call.

Jiang Wangchen hurriedly asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?" and then looked back in the direction of the eldest brother, only to see the mottled shadows of the thin branches and young leaves of the poplar trees swaying with the night breeze in the moonlight.

"I think I heard someone calling me. Xing Hao stood in place, and was stunned for a long time: "It should be an illusion." ”

Jiang Wangchen comforted: "Big brother, the second brother Ji people have their own natural appearance, don't worry too much, and after the second brother has cultivated the "Ghost Thorn", his skills have improved a lot, and ordinary people can't hurt him." ”

Xing Hao nodded his head and muttered to himself, "Ghost thorn, hey...... Ghost thorns. ”

Facing the mountains in the east, the moon is cold and the night breeze is cool. Falling next to the lonely pine, a woman in purple is beautiful, standing alone overlooking the quiet night, a look at the autumn water seems to be meandering in the years, the time goes back, the memories are scattered, and finally it is not bad, stop in the heart of the softest emotions, every scene of the past prosperity, can not withstand the appearance of him at that time, why is it hazy in the rain, even the memories can only be shadows, if you can slow down the day, you will not be afraid that it will be too late to remember a back, if you can look forward to a month of stardom, you can ask in person, the person you met tonight, with the same back and imprint as you, but youBut the man who sheltered me from the wind and rain in the storm, and opened the heavens and the earth, if you remember, why don't you ask me more, about the past, if you ask, I will tell you a story about love.

The woman thought about it and smiled to herself, like an embroidered hibiscus, slightly faint red tide, which made the night of the mountain also add a bit of pretty charm.

And this smile, like the ripples of the blue waves, a faint touch, and then look for it, only to find the leisurely melancholy, dyed the brows, and quietly dyed the moonlight.

It was a long night, tormenting the people who were waiting for the dawn. In the second half of the night, in a cave at the back of Dongdushan Mountain, there were bursts of scolding.

The pig demon guard "Curly-tailed" held a rotten carrot in his hand, chewed it and foamed at the mouth, and said: "As soon as the leader of Yachuan comes back, he will lose his temper with the little pig demons!" The little snake demon "Aoba", who walked into the cave with Curly-tailed, spat out the letter, and also complained: "But no, the leader of the Mamba came back with a gloomy face, presumably because the effect of the raid tonight was not good." ”

From time to time, Capuch made a "hum" sound in his mouth, and said, "I heard that one of the gold-gilt copper hammers of the leader of Yachuan was smashed. Such a hard weapon, smashed like a shriveled balloon, really encountered a strong enemy. ”

Aoba echoed: "Yes, the snake demon is not much better here, in order to ambush three humans, he also lost more than two dozen partners, not including some disabled." ”

Capuly asked, "Are you talking about the three humans who are locked up in the depths of the cave right now?" ”

Aoba nodded and said, "Yes, although they are tied up now, you and I have to be careful, don't make a mistake and lose your life." ”

This time, it was Capuly's turn and Aoba to guard the cave. The two walked to a wide corner of the cave and stopped, and fought separately.

Curly Tail casually glanced into the cave, and saw that the three humans were bound by rattan ropes with their backhands, and their feet were shackled, and two of them were slightly clean in armor, apparently subdued without much fighting, while the other one was completely different, the original grass-colored leather armor was bleached dark brown by the coagulated blood. The wound on the shoulder blade appears to be shocking. His hair was scattered and shrouded in a way that obscured his face. Capuch's tail looked at him, imagining that the battle was fierce, and it must have been a Death Reaper from the Nine Nether Mansions to be so bloodthirsty and belligerent. Curly Tail was imagining it, but the man suddenly looked up, his hair scattered to the sides, revealing a miserable white face, dried blood stains at the corners of his mouth, and thin lips like the edge of a sword. At this moment, the cold eyes were looking at the four eyes of the curly tail, and the curly tail was shocked, knowing that the person was no longer able to attack, but he was also so frightened that he took a few steps back before being held down by a pair of thick palms. Capuly Tail hurriedly avoided the man's gaze. I heard a piercing "hiss" sound from behind, and said, "This is the human race I captured at the expense of more than 20 companions." ”

Zhu Yachuan slowly withdrew his palm that was holding the tail of the curly, looked at Cao Li's sharp eyes, and repeated: "It's really not a loss, it's really not a loss." ”

"If it weren't for the snake venom attack in him, I'm afraid many brothers would have been killed and injured. Mamba was apprehensive, and continued, "Capuchi, Aoba, go and wake up the other two humans." ”

Curly Tail and Aoba each carried a bucket of cold water, and with a "whoosh" sound, it splashed on Zhang Hua and Wang's faces, Zhang Hua and Wang Sheng woke up, I don't know if it was because the cold water was cold and piercing, or because of the frightened and trembling, the two of them crouched in a ball, shivering.

Mamba walked up to the two of them, looked at them with disdain, and said, "I'm asking you two questions now, and if you can answer them truthfully, I'll give you a good time, and if you don't tell the truth, I'll make your life worse than death." ”

Wang Sheng replied angrily: "Bah, you despicable basilisks, when Lao Tzu enlisted in the army and took the oath, he had already made up his mind to die, if you have any means, just take it out to serve Lao Tzu." ”

The corners of Mamba's mouth twitched, and he pointed at Wang and smiled: "A little backbone, a man, but a good man is not so easy to be, since you want to try it, then I will meet your requirements." Aoba gives him a little 'ulcer lotion'. ”

Aoba had the order, in a pile of bottles and cans on the table next to him, rummaging for a while, and finally found a bottle containing grass blue liquid, Aoba gently shook the bottle, the liquid inside began to bubble, Aoba was very satisfied with this effect, walked to Wang Sheng's side, and smiled sheepishly: "This is what you asked for." ”

Wang Sheng smiled heroically and said, "You despicable and filthy snake demons, don't want anything from my mouth." ”

Aoba said: "This is not up to you. Before he finished speaking, he had already splashed the ulcer liquid in his hand on Wang Sheng's face.

I saw that the festering skin was stained on Wang Sheng's face, Wang Sheng's skin began to be red, swollen and burning, and it was extremely itchy, Wang's hands could not reach it, so he could only rub his face on the ground until the skin was worn out, and then stopped. Looking at Wang Sheng looking up again, most of the skin on his face was worn away, and the flesh and blood were blurred, which was very terrifying.

Mamba pointed at Zhang Hua and continued to order, saying, "Give him a try too." ”

Zhang Hua looked at the bloody flesh and blood on Wang's face, unrecognizable, and he was already paralyzed to the ground in fright. Seeing Aoba walking towards him again, he was even more afraid that his whole body trembled, and his pants were wet again, and a smell of shame spread in the hole.

And all this is not in Cao Li's eyes, what he hopes for is far more interesting than this.

Zhang Hua couldn't hold on any longer, broke down and cried bitterly, and said, "I said, I said, I said everything." ”

Mamba laughed with satisfaction and said, "That's right, why suffer from that flesh and skin." Then I ask you, do you know the origin of this seal? ”

Zhang Hua shook his head.

"Do you know what the cave behind that seal is?"

Zhang Hua shook his head again, and saw the displeasure on Mamba's face, and hurriedly explained: "Lord Snake Immortal, don't talk about the small ones, I'm afraid the entire Demon Imperial Army in this city doesn't know." ”

"I'd better ask you another question, and if you still don't know, then you can't complain that I don't believe you. The dissatisfaction on Mamba's face had just eased, and now he said fiercely: "Then do you know when this seal will be broken?" ”

Zhang Hua nodded like pounding garlic as if grasping a life-saving straw.

Seeing it in his eyes, Mamba sneered and scolded: "I know, don't hurry up and say it." ”

"The mage said, tomorrow dusk, tomorrow dusk, he can break the seal. ”

"Tomorrow evening, tomorrow evening will break the seal. Mamba repeated the words in Zhang Hua's mouth, and said to Curly Tail and Aoba: "Knock the three of them unconscious, keep them alive first, maybe it will come in handy tomorrow." ”

A palm wind at the tail fell on Zhang Hua's neck, Zhang Hua was knocked unconscious with an "ah", and Wang Sheng had already fainted in pain, and now only Cao Li was still awake, and he had always remained silent from just now to now, only the eyes, like a pool of water, looked cold and unpredictable ahead. Curly Tail walked to his side, his body was a little involuntarily stiff, his breathing seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't go smoothly, and when he was about to put it down, he heard Cao leave his mouth, and the voice was hoarse and desolate, echoing in the dark cave for a long time, like dust in the sun, humble but trying to prove existence.
