Chapter 41: The Trap in the Cave

Xihe and the young man walked slowly to the depths of the passage, and at this time, the fat shopkeeper and his party also hurried to the place where the secret room in the back room was located. But there is still a secret room, and it was all moved away by Xihe.

The fat shopkeeper thought that he could catch Xi and relieve the hatred in his heart, but he didn't expect that what entered his eyes was this scene, not to mention how much the treasure moved, the entire secret room where the treasure was hidden was gone, leaving only the traces of the foundation before the secret room, as if it had been dragged off by life.

The fat shopkeeper didn't come up in one breath, he fainted directly, foaming at the mouth and his face was painful, the demon soldiers saw that the fat shopkeeper had fainted, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare, they knew that there were people behind the person in front of them who had fainted, so they didn't dare to laugh out loud, and they had to obey his orders.

Everyone can't ignore him, after all, they have to take care of the adult without looking at his face, and the slap in the slap of everyone is to wake him up.

After being woken up by everyone, the fat shopkeeper's fat body staggered to his feet, and as soon as he stood up, he grabbed a demon soldier beside him tightly, and shouted loudly, "That thief must have escaped from the secret passage, you quickly pick up these demon crystals and catch him for me!"

Then he seemed to think of something again, and said, "You take a group of people to a ruined temple on the Qingming Mountain, which is the exit of the secret passage, as long as you keep guarding there, I believe he will eventually come out." ”

According to the shopkeeper, the demon soldiers were divided into two groups, one group of people continued to dig up the demon crystal blocked at the entrance of the cave in the hope that they could catch up with Xihe and others from behind, and the other group of people quickly marched towards a ruined temple called Qingming Mountain, waiting there, waiting for Xihe's self-throwing net.

The fat shopkeeper is now worried about whether Xi He will have arrived before the other wave of demon soldiers arrive at the broken temple and then escape, now he only hopes that a few traps in the passage can block Xi He's footsteps, and he himself knows very well that those traps can still deal with a few kittens and dogs who have not cultivated, but it is not very realistic to want Xi He's life with those few mechanisms, he thinks that if Xi He does not rely on a little bit, he will not be so unscrupulous to come here to smash and rob, this kind of reliance can be a huge force, or a good cultivation。

Watching the demon soldiers pick up the mountain of demon crystals, they only took away a corner of the demon crystal mountain for a long time, it seems that the demon crystal mountain piled up by the demon crystal has not changed much, the fat shopkeeper looked at it on the side, and his heart was in a hurry, now the real time is money, and his own body and physical strength can't pick up the demon crystal, but he stomped his feet in a hurry and scolded others to dig quickly.

The demon soldiers were also helpless to be scolded by him like that, who told him to have a close relationship with adults, and even some demon soldiers were still sighing in their hearts, why didn't the person who took all the treasures of the pawnshop kill the fat shopkeeper in the end, you killed it directly, and we don't have to suffer here.

Of course, Xi He didn't know the voice of the demon soldiers, he was now cautiously groping forward to see if others were bitter or not, Xi He and the little guy had already walked forward for a long time in the passage, but how could it not be endless, Xi He was still wondering at first, thinking in his heart whether he would get lost, or maybe it was the little guy's frame, but if Xi He knew that the passage here led to the Qingming Mountain outside the city, he would not think like that.

The fat shopkeeper dug this secret passage in the first place also considering that if one day, a group of robbers and thieves wanted to swallow his treasures, he could then take all his treasures and escape from the secret passage until he fled to the Qingying Mountain outside the city, so that he would not have to worry about being caught up by someone all at once.

The young man who led the way in front of Xi He hadn't actually walked this road, he had only secretly seen the shopkeeper enter the passage, and the shopkeeper never confided any news about the secret passage to him, let alone told himself what traps there were in the secret passage.

Some cobwebs in the passage are also inevitable, and several young men have seen them, but they are disgusted to burn the hanging cobwebs with the flame crystal rod in their hands, which is also for the convenience of Xihe behind him, and he can only have a chance to survive after serving Xihe now.

Seeing that it was another abandoned spider web, the young man subconsciously raised his hand and burned it with the flame of the flame crystal rod, but just when the spider web was about to burn out, suddenly a muffled rumble sounded, Xi He couldn't help but be alert, any strange sound in this secret passage is extremely unusual, Xi He was about to retreat, 'boom' Xi He and the little man The top of the cave in the head mountain actually collapsed in a whole piece, and if you look closely, what collapsed is not mud or rock, but a piece of iron disguised as mud and half a zhang thick.

Because the roof of the cave itself is not high, but it just allows Xi and them to stand up straight, and it is too late to retreat quickly, Xi He thought at first that he was already a few zhang away from the young man, even if the young man touched the trap, he should be fine, but he didn't expect that the square iron on the top of his head was so long and the length reached ten zhang long, and he was also included in it a few zhang away.

Xi He had no way to deal with it in an instant, but his instinct told him that he couldn't hide from it and broke it! Xi He took out a long knife from a small storage jade plate, this knife was the previous Blood Punishment Blade, Xi He didn't know if he could exert the full power of this knife in this small environment, and he didn't know if this knife could break through the danger and break the iron with one sword.

But now there is only one try, at this time Xi He has no way to retreat, both hands tightly grasp the hilt of the blood punishment blade beyond the ordinary long knife, the power of the operation, speed, explosion! In an instant, Xi He's body power runs to the limit, the sword point is in front of the ground, both hands and wrists turn, the blade is facing upward, and the arm swings the blade with force, and with the upward swing of the long knife, Xi He's body is also changing.

The tip of the knife touched the iron block, and a spark flashed along the path of the long knife, and there was not much resistance, and the long knife in his hand easily slashed the iron block, and there was no time to swing the second knife after one swing, and Xi He, who turned around, was like before, the tip of the knife was still pointed at the ground in front of him, but the difference was that the blade was always facing the ground.

Xi He sighed lightly, "The Blood Punishment Blades are too sharp, and they pierced through the iron at once, but isn't this still a failure?" ”

As Xi He said, there was a long knife mark on the iron, but the iron did not stop the downward trend. The iron fell down with a bang, and at this time it seemed that the end was already doomed, but Xihe was unwilling to roar:

"I didn't expect that I, Xihe, would die here today, but I'm not reconciled! I haven't proved to Mu Ting that I'm not a weak person, and my road to being a strong person is about to fall before it begins!"

"Even if I die, I, Xihe, will die standing up!"

After a word, Xi He propped up his arms and palms upwards to meet the iron that was about to fall, and the young man was already so frightened that he fell to the ground, and his eyes were dull as he watched the iron on his head smash towards him with a rumbling roar.

"Bang" A huge sound came from the entrance of the cave, and the ground above Xihe's head was also trembling, and the fat shopkeeper who was still crying at the entrance of the cave heard the huge sound coming from the entrance of the cave, and was immediately overjoyed, shouting, "That thief must have touched the iron-topped mechanism, let's dig them quickly, I'm afraid they have been crushed to death!"

But then he thought, "If this iron-topped mechanism fails to stop them, I'm afraid there will be nothing to hinder their steps, I don't know if those demon soldiers have reached the Qingming Mountain." ”

It is said that when the group of demon soldiers who were going to the temple of Qingying Mountain walked to a wine shop at the foot of the mountain, the leader seemed to be the captain of this team or something, stopped and stretched, and said, "Let's take a rest first, drink a bowl of wine and then continue on our way." ”

Everyone hurriedly applauded, they were almost tired to death after running for most of the day, and they were thirsty, and there was a wine shop in front of them, wouldn't it be nice to drink a big bowl of wine.

But one of them said worriedly, "Brother Chen, if we delay time like this, I'm afraid we will miss the person in the cave." ”

The leader who was asking for wine from the restaurant said unhappily, "You are stupid! Why should we do something for that fat man, when I look at him, I will be disgusted, and I will drink us as if we were his subordinates, if it weren't for the scruple of that person, Lao Tzu would have slashed him with a knife." Besides, can we rob that fat man's shop openly, can we deal with it with just a few people, don't throw away our lives for this fat man!"

Everyone unanimously praised, yes, why should we work hard for that fat man, wouldn't it be a pleasure to drink a big bowl of wine here. Everyone laughed in unison, you and I toasted one bowl at a time.
