Chapter 216 [Battle Giant Scorpion] (I)
Wu Jie was also shocked when he heard Luo Lie's voice, he didn't expect to meet Luo Lie here, and relied on Tan Tiande to lead the way into the Heavenly Temple, but soon after entering the Heavenly Temple, the two were separated, and Wu Jie also searched all the way to come here, never thought of alarming the warriors who guarded the Heavenly Temple, and fell into the siege of the Heavenly Temple warriors.
Wu Jie reminded Luo Lie loudly: "They are all dehumanized guys, so they don't have to show mercy. As he spoke, the sword in his hand stabbed into the heart of one of the samurai, piercing through the samurai's breastplate and then withdrawing back with lightning speed, blocking the blades of the two samurai.
The samurai he had assassinated fell to the ground, his helmet mask scattered to the ground, and the inside of the helmet burst into flames when it came into contact with the light of the torch.
Seeing this, Luo Lie remembered that the Heavenly Temple warriors who chased and killed Zhou Wenhu before were the same, the armor on their bodies was not only a kind of protection, but also played a role in blocking the light, once their skin was exposed to the light, it would burn.
After thinking of this, Luo Lie immediately jumped out of the battle circle, and there were many torches in the alcoves around the hall, and Luo Lie wanted to light them one by one.
Those Heavenly Temple warriors also sensed Luo Lie's intentions, and even gave up the attack and quickly retreated to the southeast corner gate.
At this time, Kung Fu Luo Lie had already lit five torches, and the entire hall was brightly lit.
The thin sword in Wu Jie's hand was reincorporated into the bamboo cane, and the bamboo cane in his hand touched the ground lightly, because the fierce battle just now could not be as calm and relaxed as before, and his breathing became short.
Luo Lie lit all the torches in the circle, and then returned to Wu Jie's side, and said softly: "Mr. Wu, I didn't expect us to meet so soon." ”
Wu Jie heard Luo Lie's incomprehension and questions after hearing his flat tone, after he said goodbye, Luo Lie's ability to maintain such a calm mind has already shown his superhuman cultivation, Wu Jie smiled lightly: "It's just that I didn't expect it, how did you find the Heavenly Temple?"
Luo Lie said: "It's a long story, we'll talk about it in detail when we have time." ”
In Wu Jie's understanding, Luo Lie should be a mustard for himself, so he refused to speak as freely as in the past, and he didn't blame Luo Lie, nodded and said: "Yes, there are dangers here, we need to be careful." ”
Luo Lie said: "Old Man Tan is dead!"
Wu Jie's reaction was even more indifferent than Luo Lie expected, and he said expressionlessly: "Really?"
Luo Lie then stopped talking.
Wu Jie breathed silently, and when his breath calmed down, he turned around and walked towards the corner gate where the group of warriors entered, and he never said hello, as if he expected Luo Lie to follow.
Luo Lie followed Wu Jie's footsteps closely, he didn't know where Wu Jie was going, in short, Wu Jie was definitely not going to the exit.
Before entering the corner gate, Wu Jie stopped and said in a low voice: "If you want to live, you have to turn back." ”
Luo Lie said: "I can't go back." He didn't know that Wu Jie came here by that route, anyway, it was impossible to return the way he came just now.
Wu Jie nodded and said, "It's okay!" The bamboo cane in his hand tapped lightly on the ground and said, "Zhuo Yishou is in the Heavenly Temple, and I can smell his breath." ”
Luo Lie was stunned, he didn't have the same ability as Wu Jie, it seemed that Wu Jie was following Zhuo Yishou's traces in this way. Luo Lie said: "Aren't you afraid that he deliberately left clues to lure the enemy deeper?"
Wu Jie smiled: "He is so cunning, it's strange not to do this." After a pause, he said, "If I can't find Princess Longyu, I will kill Zhuo Yishou." In his heart, he believed that Zhuo Yishou was Princess Longyu's helper, and he was also the most important person who contributed to the resurrection of Princess Longyu, and if he killed Zhuo Yishou, he might be able to prevent a catastrophe from happening.
Luo Lie said: "What kind of calamity will Princess Longyu bring?"
Wu Jie said: "It's unpredictable, but it's unprecedented!"
"Does Zhuo Yishou know?"
Wu Jie shook his head and said, "I think he shouldn't have thought about it." ”
Luo Lie secretly thought in his heart, Zhuo Yishou is a descendant of the party, and since he was a child, he has been determined to restore his own clan and revive the former majesty of Western Xia, and when a person works hard for one goal, he often ignores others. If Zhuo Yishou realized that the restoration of his own clan would bring great suffering and calamity to the world, would he change his original mind?
Luo Lie said: "Where did those Heavenly Temple warriors come from?" The Heavenly Temple warriors were very strange, they burned themselves as soon as they saw the light, and these Heavenly Temple warriors obviously lost consciousness, Luo Lie didn't know if they were normal life forms.
Wu Jie said: "It seems weird, but in fact, it's just being controlled by someone's consciousness." ”
"Who?"
Wu Jie said: "The Heavenly Temple is the most sacred place in the Western Xia in the past, and the high priest of Haori is also the guardian of the Western Xia, including the King of the Western Xia, they all bow to him and respect him as a god, and he has many disciples, but there are only a few who really get his personal inheritance, and Princess Longyu is one of them." For a country that advocates religion, if a person like Haori dies, the shock caused can be imagined, but fortunately he met Princess Longyu. ”
A little girl was worshiped by the whole country, and she was able to successfully take his place after the death of the High Priest of Haori, which has Princess Longyu's own talent, and must also have the business of the High Priest of Haori during his lifetime. Luo Lie thought of the Bailing Altar, thought of the Reincarnation Array, thought of the mysterious coffin, and then connected the events of Princess Longyu, and couldn't help but have a bold idea in his heart.
If Princess Longyu can be reborn, will the High Priest of Haori also be reborn?
Wu Jie said: "Although the high priest of Haori has passed away for many years, his followers have never been interrupted, and there have always been believers who have been silently guarding this heavenly temple. ”
Luo Lie said: "Has the Heavenly Temple been underground all along?"
Wu Jie shook his head and said, "Originally, it should have been on the surface, I always thought that the Heavenly Temple had long been destroyed, but I didn't expect it to sink into the ground and maintain such a complete appearance. Before I lost my sight, I had consulted a lot of historical materials, the disappearance of the Heavenly Temple should have appeared in the Ming Chongzhen period, during the period when the Heavenly Temple disappeared, there was no earthquake in this area, and if there was an earthquake, why would those royal tombs still stand on the ground?
Luo Lie thought of another possibility, the Heavenly Temple was just buried in the yellow sand, that sandworm, since it could spew out a large amount of yellow sand, could it bury the Heavenly Temple under the yellow sand in this way?
The ground under his feet trembled slightly, and Wu Jie was keenly aware of this tremor, and said in a low voice, "Do you feel the ground trembling?"
Luo Lie nodded and said, "Sand worm, super huge sand worm, I think it's right below us." ”
Wu Jie didn't encounter a sandworm, even if he did, he couldn't see the appearance of the sandworm, and only after asking did he learn the general appearance of the sandworm from Luo Lie's description, he gasped and said: "You are talking about a mirage, I thought this creature did not exist, but I didn't expect it to happen." ”
Only then did Luo Lie know the exact name of the sandworm, a mirage! With the huge size of the sandworm, it was naturally able to create such an illusion.
After the two entered the side gate, they continued along the corridor, and there was no trace of the Heavenly Temple warriors on the way, those Heavenly Temple warriors seemed to be frightened by the torch, and disappeared without a trace. Wu Jie handed Luo Lie a hand-drawn drawing in his hand, which was drawn by Tan Tiande before his death.
More than ten years have passed since Tan Tiande strayed into the Heavenly Temple, and at that time, he only entered a part of the Heavenly Temple, and it was difficult to get a glimpse of the whole picture in a hurry, so this hand-drawn drawing does not have much reference value. In comparison, Luo Lie's watch detector is more powerful.
Wu Jie couldn't see it, naturally he didn't know that Luo Lie had such a magical tool, and Luo Lie found that the detector also had a very useful function, which could record the route they had taken, which could prevent them from taking the wrong road to a certain extent. Perhaps the stone building has a strong shielding effect, and the detection range is much reduced, but it is still possible to predict moving objects within ten meters.
Luo Lie stopped suddenly, because he saw five moving points of light from the screen of his watch, and Wu Jie only heard the movement of the stumbling that was approaching them after Luo Lie stopped, he didn't know that Luo Lie stopped because of the detector, and thought that his perception ability had surpassed his own, and secretly admired in his heart, he couldn't imagine that Luo Lie's cultivation was so amazing.
The five black scorpions slowly approached the two of them, Luo Lie had already learned the ability of this poison before, the black scorpion was not terrible, as long as it was not stung by the black scorpion closely, it would not be dangerous, and the carapace of this black scorpion was not hard.
After reminding Wu Jie, Luo Lie drew out the flying knife and shot out continuously, and the five flying knives shot out, all of which hit the target, and the black scorpion fell to the ground and died one after another after being shot by Luo Lie.
Luo Lie stepped forward and pulled out the flying knives from the black scorpion one by one, Wu Jie reminded him to pay attention to the fact that the flying knives had been contaminated with venom, in fact, Luo Lie was meticulous and had already thought of this layer before pulling out the flying knives. Luo Lie hadn't put away all the flying knives yet, but he saw a red point of light on the watch screen that was rapidly approaching their position, much faster than the five black scorpions just now.
Wu Jie seemed to hear the sound of a galloping horse, judging from the rise and fall of his feet, it should also be an eight-legged scorpion, but from the movement of his feet on the ground, it was inferred that this scorpion was much bigger than the black scorpions just now.
An unprecedented giant scorpion has appeared in front of Luo Lie, this giant scorpion is the size of a wild bull, a pair of big scorpions are waving like double knives, the scorpion tail is three times the length of the body, curled up behind him, the dark body projects a deep reflection of metallic texture, its body has been completely keratinized, the hardness is extremely high, not to mention the flying knife, even the bullet can not penetrate.
