The three of them rested for a while, and were about to continue to walk forward, when a kind of silent tremor told of danger, and when the three of them were alert, and the cold hairs stood on end, they quietly appeared from the darkness......

Gong Jin and Yan Ning were shocked, such a sense of oppression that made their chest breathe unsmooth, they had only felt it when their mentor Lu You exerted his strength, but the royal style of the Moon Sage did not have the violent ferocity of the murderous momentum in the dark, at this moment, they all guessed what was hidden in the cave?

Can there be such a murderous aura, could it be that thousands of monsters are waiting for them? If this is the case, then it would be too brave and unscrupulous to rely on the three of them to go deeper, and Yan Ning glanced at Gong Jin and made a suggestion to retreat.

But Gongjin was unwilling. In addition to the persistence of finding out the truth, Gong Jin believes that if he retreats, it means that he and Yan Ning do not have enough strength to explore this cave, in other words, they must immediately send a message back to Bailu Cave and ask Su Laotang for help. He had to bow his head to the elders, which was nothing, but as soon as the power of Su Laotang came, he would immediately face the problem of assassinating Xiao Qiao, which was really unwilling.

"Be careful!"

Xiao Qiao's warning came in time, and the fishy wind blowing out of the darkness contained an incomparable power, instantly overwhelming the three of them.

The torches they held were extinguished in an instant, and the three of them fought in the most unfavorable and complete darkness, and they did not have to worry about whether they would accidentally injure their allies, because the monster had a heavy attack like thunder, forcing them to parry with all their might, trying their best to save their lives, and they had no time to think about the safety of their comrades, let alone whether they should join forces to form a defensive front.

The enemy is not only extremely fast, but also extremely powerful, Gong Jin parried in the dark, only to feel that there was a thunderous roar in all directions, he couldn't even judge the number of enemies, and the wound behind the back was faintly painful, obviously the technique of strong pressure and pain was about to collapse, and when the time came, the blood loss alone was enough to make himself fall down.

(Damn, how could this thing be so strong?...... ）

At this moment when the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable, Gong Jin's mind had many things flying uncontrollably, he felt the fishy smell of the monster, felt the coldness of its cold fangs, it was gradually approaching his throat, thirsting for his own blood, these dangerous feelings made his nerves chill, but he still couldn't concentrate and eliminate the distracting thoughts in his brain.

The monsters here are very strong, unimaginably dangerous, but didn't you already know about this matter? From before entering the mine to explore, I knew that this place contained an invincible force, for the sake of safety, it is best to send the information back to the White Deer Cave and hand it over to the teacher, if I still have one-tenth of my sanity, I will definitely do it, but why didn't I do it this time?

Losing ground, doing irrational and unintelligent actions, being affected by boring reasons, and even now he is still thinking nonsense, his performance is simply stupid, even if he dies because of this, he can't complain about anything, but...... Why did it turn out like this? What did you do wrong?

(Damn, am I going to die here?Did I, Zhou Gongjin, die in this ghost pit in such humiliation??Where is my strength and my cultivation?I'm not reconciled...... I, after I die...... ）

The wound on his back began to bleed profusely, and he swung the knife with every strength in his hand, resisting the lightning attack of the claws without reservation, but he felt the approach of death in his heart, Gong Jin wanted to stimulate himself with a sense of crisis, and he had survived the crisis in this way in many life and death crises in the past. However, no matter what he thought this time, he couldn't inspire a trace of fighting spirit in his empty chest, and his mind began to think about what would happen after his death.

A life of loneliness and loneliness, there will not be too many people affected after his death, not to mention the disgraceful death in the secret mission, according to the rules of the White Deer Cave, I am afraid that there will not even be a formal funeral, and he will be buried under a simple nameless tombstone, and disappear from the world silently.

Will anyone come to their grave to pay their respects?

Mentor Lu You will not appear. Although he is a teacher, he only has kindness to himself, and there is no master-apprentice friendship, he died in a secret mission without success and excellence, and he will only regard himself as a failed trainer and a loser who is not qualified to fight against the demons, and he will never remember it.

There are several subordinates, including Jiang Zhong, who respect and are loyal to themselves, but they don't know their true identity, and if they do, no one can say whether these so-called respected and loyal subordinates will defect in the first place.

Performing secret work for many years, all interactions, are for betrayal and betrayal. After countless acquaintances were guillotined by their own hands, there is nothing in life that can be called a friend, and the only intimate relationship is Yan Ning. With a similar soul color to herself, there is a friendship between the two that is incomprehensible to others, and when she dies, she will wear a fluttering white robe as usual, and pour a pot of turbid wine on her grave to mourn her friend who is no longer there.

(except for Rou Ning...... Anyone else?)

Memories ran by like a marquee, countless sad and resentful faces, as their dying curses and scolds passed away one by one, there seemed to be a glimmer of light in the darkness, a ghost girl in a green dress and a light smile, very serious, very serious to speak softly to herself.

"Brother Yu, I hope to have other more and more beautiful memories with you in the future. ”

※※※

Is it just that I don't know what to say, and I have fallen into the current desperate situation of death? This is indeed very ridiculous, but ...... Ridiculous or shameful, at the last moment between life and death, Gong Jin asked himself, wanting to listen to the truest voice in his heart.

Myself...... Want those more and more beautiful memories?

At the moment when the answer appeared, Gong Jin felt some kind of hope, not the stimulus of the death crisis, but a strong hope for life, and in an instant, he felt that there was something and some strength in his tired and bloody body.

"Howl~~~"

"Roar~~~"

Two earth-shattering roars exploded in the pit at the same time, as if to shake the entire earth, and the surrounding earth and rocks burst and shattered, and the violent shock wave swept in all directions, and the broken stone chips burned violently under the high temperature of the energy impact.

When Gong Jin was lit up by the firelight, and the surname Li returned slightly, he realized what he had done. At that moment, he burst out with great force, shaking the monster that almost broke his neck out and slammed it deep into the rock wall.

(I...... I shook that monster out?How did I do that?How did I have the same power as that monster?That's ...... Celestial power?)

This thought was circling in his mind, and the serious blood loss and severe pain behind him reminded Gong Jin of the fact that he was still suffering from heavy injuries, his mind was confused, and he was nervous, and his whole body hurt as if he was about to be torn apart, and he fell to the ground without any strength left.

"Brother Yu!"

Xiao Qiao's screams and exclamations made Gong Jin raise his head with the last strength, but saw a black shadow lightning rushing beyond the speed of sound, through the firelight, Gong Jin saw its vigorous and fierce male body clearly, every inch of muscle seemed to be full of strength and beauty, the pitch-black fur was like soft silk, the green eyes were better than the most beautiful jade, and the proud horn on the forehead was like ivory...... It was a black demon leopard!

Time seems to be extremely short, but it seems to be extremely long, Gong Jin saw the extinction and viciousness in the leopard's eyes, and knew that it would never let itself live for half an hour longer, but he was already weak and could no longer resist for his life.

"Brother Yu!"

This time, the voice was much closer, and a golden light flashed in front of his eyes, not a flying hammer, but a huge golden shield as brilliant as the sun, which appeared with lightning along with its bearer, blocking in front of Gong Jin.

The distance was very close, Gong Jin only saw a scene, the heavy golden armor faded, Xiao Qiao held a golden shield and a chain hammer around his wrist to block in front of him, holding up the shield against the demon leopard...... reminds Gongjin of the statue of the Battle Maiden in the White Deer Cave.

The most important thing is that feeling, before the demon leopard was about to pounce, Gong Jin had a feeling, as if she already knew that Xiao Qiao would appear, and when she appeared in time, that feeling...... It's amazing indeed.

"Howl~~~"

"Whew!"

The demon leopard seems to have suffered a certain degree of damage in the previous impact with Gong Jin, so when Xiao Qiao fully encouraged the power of the "Fraternity Holy Shield" and shook it head-on, both sides were defeated, and the demon leopard was thrown out again, and Xiao Qiao spurted out a mouthful of miserable blood, the tiger's mouth broke, the holy shield took off, and the whole person was also shocked out under a huge force of throwing, and it happened to fall into the arms of Gong Jin behind him.

The two fell together, but it was not a romantic and warm scene. Gong Jin caught Xiao Qiao, but couldn't bear the huge force that crashed into her arms with her, and the result was to roll out with Xiao Qiao, spinning on the ground dozens of times, and finally hit the stone wall next to him, and the whole clamp in with a bang, when the two confirmed that they were still alive, they were in pain as if there was no half of a continuous bone left.

"You two, run!"

Yan Ning's rapid panic scream made the two people who were stuck on the stone wall realize that the crisis had not passed, and the demon leopard that had the upper hand pounced again, and this time there was no other savior.

couldn't escape, and it wasn't even too late to move their positions, the two hugged each other tightly, and all they saw in their eyes was each other. Bloodstained faces, messy sideburns, since they met, I have never seen each other look so embarrassed, but...... Obviously they were about to die, but these men and women only saw a smile in each other's eyes, as if if they died like this, their lives would not be in vain.

Time passed silently, but the pain of death did not come for a long time, until the two of them vaguely felt a little strange, until the voice of Yan Ning sounded beside them, and the two of them woke up.

"Hey, you two, have you seen enough?"

Yan Ning not only spoke, but also kicked, just the right amount of skill, and the two of them rebounded from the stone wall.

Almost dying, looking at Yan Ning with a strange expression, Xiao Qiao and Gong Jin were puzzled, and they didn't know why death never came.

What about the Devil Panther?

The two looked fixedly, and the demon leopard representing the threat of death did not disappear, but it did not pounce either, but stood far away, staring in a certain direction with green eyes. As far as it could see, the Hammer of Equality and the Shield of Fraternity were scattered on the ground, and black smoke was dissipating from it.

(This black gas is...... ）

From Yan Ning's eyes, it was affirmed that the black smoke was demonic energy, which could only be emitted by demonic creatures or people who practiced demonic skills, but why did those two artifacts emit such a strong demonic energy?

Looking sideways at Xiao Qiao, she seemed to be at a loss for what was going on, and wanted to retrieve the two artifacts, but she was afraid that she would incur an attack from the demon leopard, so she didn't dare to act.

If they are attacked by the demon leopard again, the three of them will definitely die, Gong Jin considered the risk, decided to give up the previous stubbornness, beckoned his companions to retreat, and was about to speak, when the demon leopard suddenly roared lowly, turned around and left.

Xiao Qiao rushed forward and retrieved the two artifacts, very stunned why the demon leopard gave up the responsibility of guarding, but the demon leopard did not stay away, but yelled at the three of them, and turned around again, as if to ask the three uninvited guests to follow behind it.

"Brother Yu, this is ......"

"I don't know, maybe ...... It's the ...... contained in your two artifacts Some kind of breath made this leopard misidentify something!"

Gong Jin couldn't say it completely, but from a rational point of view, it was speculated that the person who left the ambush in this mine was probably related to the demon clan, so when the demon leopard sensed the demonic qi, he recognized the three of them as fellow travelers and stopped attacking.

It was very unexpected for the situation to evolve like this, but the three of them decided to continue to follow, wanting to see what the demon leopard wanted to show themselves.

There is a demon leopard to lead the way, and the three of them have not been attacked by any magical beasts along the way, and after walking the dark road for about half an hour, a fork in the road appeared in front of them, and there was a corpse floating at the intersection, which seemed to have been dead for a long time, and the clothes and flesh were rotten, but the whole skeleton was glowing with a strange red light, which seemed to be semi-mineralized, mysterious and evil.

The forehead of the skeleton has a single horn similar to that of Xiao Qiao, indicating the identity of the deceased before his death, and on the bone wrist of the skeleton's right hand, there is a metal ring that burns with fiery red light, and Xiao Qiao knows what it is at a glance.

"Ring of Freedom!"

Xiao Qiao let out a low cry and wanted to go over to get it, but he was afraid of the demon leopard's reaction, looked at it a few times, and found that the demon leopard was just lying on the right intersection, ignoring the situation here, so he had the courage to take off the magic ring.

"Bang", when the magic ring was taken off, the skeleton floating in mid-air lost its supporting strength, and the whole scattered and fell to the ground, and the original semi-mineralized bones also turned into dust in the moment they fell to the ground.

Judging from the fragments of the long sword scattered on the ground, Gong Jin believed that this victim was the master of the Guiyi clan two hundred years ago, who suffered misfortune in the process of searching for treasure in the mine, and after obtaining the Freedom Ring, Xiao Qiao had collected all three artifacts, and Gong Jin couldn't help but urge Xiao Qiao to put on this bracelet earlier.

"Well, I'll give it a try. ”

Xiao Qiao put on the Freedom Magic Ring, and a layer of bright firelight was like a phoenix spreading its wings, enveloping Xiao Qiao's whole body in an instant, and the bright light flame shook and swallowed like a wave, illuminating the entire space, almost forcing Gong Jin and Yan Ning to face it.

"Uh...... Brother Tao!"

Xiao Qiao let out a stunned exclamation, and pointed at Yan Ning at a loss. When she walked in just now, Yan Ning had been behind the tail hall, and the surrounding environment was pitch black, and her companions never saw how her injuries were.

This is not unexpected, because in the previous battle, in order to cover the two companions, Yan Ning took the initiative to snatch more than half of the attack of the demon leopard, and fought desperately, like madness, and the result was also the most seriously injured, there were many bloody wounds on the body, and the blood could not even be properly stopped, and the white robe had already been stained to the ground, just to be able to support it to walk here, it was a very surprising thing.

But this was not what surprised Xiao Qiao. Through the red light, it can be clearly seen that in the front placket of the white robe, some strips of white cloth that were originally tightly wrapped there and not seen by others have broken, revealing a snow-white round towering breast...... At least in the eyes of Gong Jin, who has long known that Yan Ning's surname is different, this is indeed the case.

"Brother Tao, you...... You...... Are you a woman?"

Being stared at by Xiao Qiao with such a gaze, Yan Ning looked at her chest, and after understanding the problem, she shrugged helplessly, didn't say anything, and didn't even have the intention of pulling up the placket and covering up the leaky Chunguang, but Xiao Qiao blushed, grabbed a step, and helped her pull the placket well.

"Girls' House...... You can't be so frank. ”

"What's the matter? There won't be a piece of meat missing to be seen, isn't it a pity to wrap it in a dumpling with such a good figure?"

"But...... At the very least, you should cover it with your hands!"

"I've thought about it, but ......"

Yan Ning reluctantly raised his wrist, the wrist that had been bitten by the demon leopard was almost broken from it, while the other hand was obviously fractured ninety degrees and twisted vertically.

"Both hands have become like this, what do you want me to use to pull my clothes?"

Looking at Yan Ning's deliberately pretended sad expression, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but laugh out loud, but he was still immediately alert to the seriousness of the situation, and took Yan Ning out, wanting to help her treat her injuries as soon as possible.

The wound on his back was bleeding profusely, and Gong Jin's situation was no better than theirs, but when Yan Ning and Xiao Qiao rushed to leave, he endured the pain in his back and thought about an important question.

Xiao Qiao's purpose in coming here is to obtain the Freedom Ring, which she has achieved, but the previous Ring holder came here two hundred years ago to find another treasure, and now that Xiao Qiao has obtained the Freedom Ring, where is the other big secret treasure that was originally hidden here? What is it?

The road to the pit is not exhausted, but you can continue to go deeper, and perhaps the real treasure is hidden inside......

However, when Gong Jin moved this idea and was about to continue moving forward, the demon leopard, who was lying on his stomach at the intersection in front of him, suddenly stood up and roared viciously, the kind of thunderous momentum that did not allow outsiders to go deeper, so that Gong Jin understood its intention to guard.

"I see...... Demonic energy can only prove to be your fellow traveler, but not your master, right?"

Even if the three of them joined forces, they almost all died at the hands of this demon leopard, and now they are the only ones left to break through, which is of course a way to kill themselves, not to mention that the freedom magic ring has been obtained, and you really shouldn't be too greedy.

"I don't know what you're waiting for, but I'll take it when I'm ready. ”

Believing that the demon leopard would not attack him from behind, Gong Jin turned around and left with confidence, but when he left, he couldn't help but look back at the intersection to look at the dark demon leopard that was gradually disappearing, thinking about the nameless treasure deeper in the mine.

...... Perhaps, one day in the future, I will come back again......

For the entire rebel army, this day was truly legendary, especially when Xiao Qiao gathered everyone and announced that she had obtained the Freedom Ring in the pit and collected the three artifacts of the Guiyi Clan, the whole valley thundered with joy, celebrating the supreme glory bestowed by God and singing the greatness of the leader.

Xiao Qiao, who held the two major artifacts before, although he had the momentum of the true son of heaven, but he was not able to collect the three artifacts of the Guiyi, after all, he was a little weaker, which caused criticism, and now he finally collected the three artifacts, and the momentum suddenly rose to an unprecedented high, because in the tragic history of the Guiyi clan for two thousand years, the great hero who was able to sweep away the blood and darkness of the past and collect the three artifacts was finally born, and people's support for her reached its peak at this time.

In fact, from the perspective of Gong Jin and Yan Ning, Xiao Qiao doesn't need to be obsessed with the protection of the three artifacts at all, because in these times, everything she has done for the Guiyi clan and this alliance is obvious to everyone, even without the blessing of the three artifacts, everyone's support for her will not change.

It's just that although Gong Jin once said this to Xiao Qiao, she is open-minded and unattached in everything, but she is extremely insistent on this point, and she wants to tell all the clansmen this matter in a dignified manner under the most solemn ceremony.

Maybe this is also part of the girl's surname, right?

Gong Jin didn't stop it, she just felt very funny in her heart, because even an excellent female surname like Xiao Qiao couldn't exempt herself from such a senseless trivial form. But looking at the thunderous joy of the crowd, Gongjin did not deny anything more.

Of course, it's not just a celebration.

After seeking Yan Ning's consent, Xiao Qiao also announced her identity before everyone, causing everyone to face this fact in shock.

The shock of surprise, that was inevitable, but it did not cause any disgust, originally Yan Ning was extremely highly supported in this group, and many people close to him were called brothers and sisters, and in this military group with male surnames as the main body, a beautiful female surname with smoky eyes and flattery was definitely more popular than ordinary man.

In every case, there will be objections, but while Yanning reveals her true colors, she also reveals another secret, and that is her unknown lineage. If it were in the human world, this secret would have caused an uproar and become a deadly scandal like when it was revealed in Bailu Cave, but in this military group with the Guiyi clan as the main force, the smoke of the Guiyi bloodline did not cause problems, but made it easier for people to accept this beauty of the same species and clan.

Because of his Guiyi bloodline, he couldn't get along with Bailu Cave, and even attacked his senior brother Zhou Gongjin, who was going to crusade against the rebels. In the past, Yan Ning's behavior was all explained perfectly, and no one in the coalition thought that she might be the White Deer Cave as a subordinate, because even if she was not so ruthless and never left a living mouth on the battlefield, it was impossible for the White Deer Cave to accept a ghost from the Yi tribe back, which was something that everyone knew.

Gong Jin naturally understands this better. In private, he didn't approve of Yan Ning's approach. Showing his true face can be said to be too lazy to put on makeup on his face all day long and get some ugly fake beard, but as soon as he reveals his ghostly blood, it is equivalent to giving up the advantage of appearance, and there is no way back.

"Yan Ning, you are doing this......"

"Trust me, shemale man, I've thought about it...... When I wasn't drunk, I seriously thought about it. ”

"It's strange to believe you, it doesn't mean anything if you're not drunk, I've seen a few prisoners before, they took drugs to the end, their eyes became the same as yours, and even the excuses they said were almost the same. ”

More than once, Gong Jin warned Yan Ning, not only for her incomprehensible movements, but also for her obvious inability to restrain her murderous intent on the battlefield. If the mind is tainted by madness and cannot maintain calm, this is usually a precursor to destruction.

"Sober up! You have made yourself so irrefugent, do you really want to betray your master? betray Bailu Cave?"

"I'm sober, so I know I'm going to part ways with those people eventually. I don't have any regrets or grievances, but what about you, Gongjin?

Although he hesitated for a while, he said that he would be absolutely loyal to the White Deer Cave, and it was impossible to be on the same side as this group of guys who were about to perish, but even if Yan Ning didn't ask again, Gong Jin knew that there was a flaw in his words.

If he was so loyal, then why was he still here? Didn't he report back to the master what happened in the mine? Why didn't he follow the instructions of Su Laotang and carry out the assassination of Xiao Qiao?

"You're a smart man, and you know a lot of things if I don't say anything...... Gong Jin, be serious, it's time to protect her. ”

Protect? Protect?

"Ever since we came here, you've been chasing that girl's side, going in and out with her, so that she can only see your figure and your face, for what? Maybe in your cognition, this is just to get close to her, and it is easy to influence this alliance, but in my opinion, maybe even you didn't notice it, your trick...... It's called a beautiful man. ”

How could such a shameful method be used by a beautiful man, even if he was already accustomed to intrigue and trickery, he would not use it.

"You are indeed very qualified to use this strategy, and with your hard work in the past two months, the results have come naturally...... Haven't you noticed yet? That girl has a crush on you. ”

Nonsense, how is this kind of thing possible? He and Xiao Qiao are simple allies, and he just wants to deceive her trust, and then push her and all the ghosts into the abyss of despair, at least as of a few days ago, what he has in mind is to continuously plant instability factors in this alliance, so that this group of people will gradually move towards the road of defeat in joy.

"You seem to be surprised? But it's not strange at all! Gong Jin, you don't wear a mask and don't deliberately maintain a cold attitude, you talk and understand very heartbreakingly, you are handsome, and your martial arts are high, how can any girl not be attracted to you? Xiao Qiao is just a girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, and there are no other intimate friends in this alliance, when she only sees you around all day long, and treats her well, it is normal for her to gradually be attracted to you!"

Yan Ning laughed softly, swept the two strands of hair hanging down from the corners of her forehead behind her ears, and when the black hair swept over the white jade-like snowy and delicate face, the stunning demeanor at that moment was so beautiful that people didn't dare to face it.

Gong Jin didn't want to pay attention to this, no matter how gorgeous Yan Ning's appearance was, he only cared about what was in her head, because if he noticed something else, then this friendship would deteriorate, and he really cherished this hard-won friendship.

So what he said to Yan Ning was just brought over in a tone that he didn't care.

"Nonsense, a person like me can also be attractive to a woman? You are also a woman, do you also blush and heartbeat when you see me?"

"Yes, not only is the face blushing and the heart beating, but sometimes the body will be hot, and the whole person will be restless!"

Yan Ning raised her head and answered directly and frankly, but Gong Jin didn't know what to say, but Yan Ning took the initiative to continue.

"But it's not a big deal, because when I look at Xiao Qiao, in addition to blushing and heartbeat, and heating up, even my chest will be hard!"

Saying bold words, Gong Jin felt that Yan Ning's eyes at this moment were like a big snake staring at its prey from behind, and it was spitting greedily, although he was not the prey, but ...... Should I sigh or laugh at my face now?

Before there was an answer to the question, there was a sudden commotion not far away, and it seemed that people were shouting that an assassin was coming.

"Assassins?"

The two men, who had been talking secretly by swaying and covering their bodies with grass and branches, stood up at once, looked into each other's eyes, and thought the same thing.

The security of this place is extremely tight, and it is impossible for ordinary assassins to touch it, and the most likely is that the White Deer Cave sent assassins, and the purpose is naturally unknown.

"The people of the old house...... And without my consent, they sent someone to ......"

A flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and Gong Jin disappeared in an instant, rushing towards the fire in front of him.

Even without words, Yan Ning knew why he was angry and what he was worried about. Little Joe was not lightly injured in the battle of the mine, and if he was caught off guard by the assassins, it was indeed possible to be dangerous, but it was ......

"My friend, even if you don't want to, the time seems to be getting closer and closer to force you to choose, and when the time comes, what choice will you make?"

Yan Ning couldn't predict, because of this, she stood there with a hint of loneliness, and she could only sigh silently.

The first volume of "Ginkgo Biloba Chapter" is finished
