Chapter 364: Shadows
It was only at this time that Xia Sheng finally understood that from the beginning, he had thought of a fork.
Whether it was the broken knife of unpredictable origin, or the dilapidated and decaying wine cellar, or the thunder in the sky, or the fire that appeared in the human camp, it was no accident.
Once upon a time, when the Jinyuan Secret Realm first appeared more than a hundred years ago, the first batch of cultivators who entered it to explore did not find the dangers in it, and most of the records they wrote in the classics were describing the dazzling wealth in the Jinyuan Secret Realm.
Even if they were the first to enter the Jinyuan Secret Realm some time ago, the nearly 100 disciples from the Seventy-Two Alliance, who had stayed here for such a long time, and even established a base camp as a logistics and supply base, had never been threatened by foreign enemies.
But when Xia Sheng and his party came here, so many strange things happened.
Why is that?
Xia Sheng had never seriously thought about this question before, but now, he finally got the answer.
When Xia Sheng saw this golden pagoda, he thought of this possibility, but such a guess was too unbelievable and unbelievable, so that even an old monster like him who had been through the storm for a long time did not dare to make a conclusion about it, until he touched the rune notch on the wall at the top of the tower again, and he finally realized that the truth of the original truth was really so simple.
Ever since he stepped into this room, he had been reminded of it, but only now had he put the shattered remnants into a complete picture.
It's just a pity that 21 innocent lives were paid for it.
Xia Sheng has never been a cold-blooded person, but the matter has come to this point, and there is not much room for redemption, the only thing he can do is to stop this killing that has just begun.
So in the next moment. Xia Sheng carefully attached all his mind to this golden wall, took out the golden seed from the depths of his soul, and landed in the only blank space in the middle of the runes on the wall.
"Buzz...... Buzz ......"
Almost at the same moment, the entire Golden Tower began to tremble violently, and the rune scratches on the walls seemed to come to life, like slow-moving earthworms. In front of Xia Sheng's eyes, the appearance kept changing.
For the others who were preparing to camp outside the tower at this time, it was as if they felt an ancient giant beast gradually waking up from the sinking of the years, and the powerful oppressive force was surging like a tide, so that they didn't even dare to breathe.
Hua Rufei took the lead in clenching the long sword in his hand, and inspired a complex sword-shaped symbol from his wrist, turning into a blue shadow and piercing the top of the Golden Pagoda!
"Bang!"
However, before Hua Ru could fly close to the Golden Pagoda, he was slammed away by an invisible force. directly lifted him out of the air for a distance of nearly ten zhang, and then fell to the ground quite embarrassed.
This palpitating roar lasted for nearly half a pillar of incense before it gradually stopped, and at the same time, an exclamation came from not far away.
"Lao Bai, Lao Bai, what's wrong with you!"
Hearing this, Hua Rufei immediately swept away, and soon followed the sound to a crowd of people, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone was seen parting from both sides in horror. The three people with different expressions in the middle were revealed, and two of them were squatting on the ground with sad faces. The other, on the other hand, was staring wide and motionless.
Dead again.
And someone cut the major artery from the neck again.
The deceased did not even leave half a last word, and then stopped breathing.
Die without a blind eye.
Seeing this scene, Hua Rufei's heart was sad, he didn't expect it. With everyone on guard, the murderer was able to kill someone for the second time in full view of everyone!
What the other party took advantage of was just the panic and distraction of everyone in a moment before.
Such an enemy is too terrible!
What's even more terrifying is that Hua Rufei and the others still don't know where the enemy comes from. I didn't even feel the shadow of the enemy!
Such an assassination is no longer a simple killing, but a performance full of art.
It's just that it will bring endless fear and despair to its audience.
The shadow of death shattered the last sanity of many people, and Zhou Hao couldn't care about Xia Sheng's warning before, he directly threw Zhang Tiancheng to Jiang Qiqi to take care of, and then came to Hua Rufei's side with a frightened face, and said urgently: "Senior Brother Hua, look, why don't we evacuate from the secret realm first, and wait until we gather more strength and make more adequate preparations before coming in." ”
Hua Rufei glanced at Zhou Hao coldly, and said in a deep voice: "No! I must catch the murderer of Senior Brother Chen and give an explanation to the sect!"
Looking at Hua Rufei's resolute gaze, Zhou Hao secretly complained in his heart, but it was inconvenient to persuade him, so he could only hide in the crowd alone, not that he didn't want to leave the Jinyuan Secret Realm alone, but in the current situation, he didn't have the courage to leave the army at all and return to the exit of the secret realm alone.
And it was at this time that Xia Sheng suddenly walked out of the Golden Pagoda.
Seeing this, Hua Rufei took the lead to meet him, although he had greatly restrained the anger in his heart, his tone was inevitably a little stiff: "What happened just now?"
In this regard, Xia Sheng just shrugged his shoulders and explained: "I don't know, it seems that I accidentally triggered some mechanism, causing the entire golden pagoda to shake violently, but it is also strange to say, that mechanism also looks like thunder and rain, and there is not much danger, it is more like a warning to intruders." ”
Hua Rufei stared at Xia Sheng gloomily, but he couldn't judge whether what the other party said was the truth, so he could only say in a deep voice: "Just now, we lost another companion, which is exactly the same as the death of Senior Brother Chen before!"
When the words fell, Xia Sheng was also stunned, and then came to the deceased with a frown, leaning over to look at the fatal scar on the other party's throat.
Then he exhaled heavily and said, "It looks like someone is hunting us." ”
Hua Rufei didn't buy this statement, but said sharply: "This kind of thing has never happened before I met you, and now I must wonder what is the relationship between you and the murderer!"
Xia Sheng's heart was dark, he didn't expect Hua Rufei's insight to be so keen, but there was a faint smile on his face: "As you can see, I was not present at the time of the incident, and my only companion was always waiting by Brother Zhang's side, I want to ask you, what can this matter have to do with us?"
Hua Rufei sneered: "Yes, no matter what you say, in order not to cause a bigger misunderstanding, I think we should all go separately, I hope you two don't follow us anymore." ”
Xia Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and was about to say something, but suddenly heard a burst of earth-shattering rumbling sound galloping from afar, and even the ground was shaken, and the faces of everyone present changed greatly.
This was not the thunder that Xia Sheng had heard before, but more like ......
The sound of the galloping footsteps of all beasts!
