Volume 3: The Source of Collapse Chapter 16: The Pit of Sacrifice (I)
"Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion!"
Liu Dongchen thought about it, and finally chose to take the risk, rather than going to the back door and being killed by one move, it was better to go over there to gamble, maybe he could get something to turn the tables from inside.
"Okay, but we have to gamble once, can Brother Xing lend me your immortal weapon?"
Bai Qiulian stared at the silver sword on Liu Dongchen's waist, this time he wanted to try to see if he could break through himself, if none of the three of them could withstand the pressure, sooner or later it would collapse.
"Do you want to..."
Liu Dongchen frowned, this matter can't be left to him, it seems that Bai Qiulian wants to gamble his life, if he succeeds, he will be able to break through to the three lines, and if he fails, he will return to the first pattern again, now in this situation, once he fails, it is very likely that the Dao heart will collapse, and then they will break up.
"Brother Qiulian, don't do this, we still have a chance!"
Lin Shuang also knew what Bai Qiulian was going to do, for a person like her, the most important thing was to consolidate a good foundation, and to challenge the Heavenly Dao to go to the right place, it was not the time yet.
"If you have the opportunity to always bring a word, are you really sure that the treasure house in the City Lord's Mansion has not been patronized by that guy just now? According to what he just said, I can probably be sure that he must have entered the City Lord's Mansion after we came out, otherwise how would he know that the monster was angry? ”
Bai Qiulian smiled bitterly, some things can't be generalized, no one can say that only he knows about that place, the worst case is whether he can enter or not in the past, there are many traps, there are countless traps, and the danger is no less than going to the back door.
"How sure are you?"
Liu Dongchen was not busy vetoing, he wanted to hear what the other party meant first, if it didn't work, he wanted to try, at least for now, he was fifty percent sure that he could go up and try.
"It only has the strength of the Heavenly Star Realm, this is my ancient technique to speculate, my Na Ling can directly absorb about thirty percent of its star spirit power for my use, anyone who has been used by me this Na Ling, judging by the spiritual power absorbed, I can roughly find out the other party's confidence."
Bai Qiulian didn't say the specific situation and his own grasp, because there were too many impossibilities in actual combat, and he generally understood some of its skills after Lin Shuang's introduction, and now the difference was the weapon against the other party.
"So you're not half as sure?"
Its size advantage is placed there, it is the size of two cows, this can't just count its spiritual power, if this is the case, fifty percent of his side of the grasp needs to be adjusted, at most about one percent, and it is still under the premise of not using the power of teleportation, I am afraid that this difficulty is difficult to have any chance.
"Brother Xing, to be honest, less than half of it, it depends on whether you are reluctant to lend me."
He was also gambling with Liu Dongchen, if he failed this time, this immortal weapon would definitely be gone.
"Take it, the premise is that you come back alive, as long as you come back alive, this sword is yours!"
Liu Dongchen was very generous, he directly pulled out the sword and handed it to Bai Qiulian, the other party dared to fight with his life, what was he afraid of?
"Brother Criminal, are you sure?"
Bai Qiulian didn't rush to pick it up, the two of them had only known each other for a few days, and it was a little difficult for him to accept such an important thing, after all, he was ready to be rejected.
"Since I dare to let you join, I naturally won't suspect you, so you can take it with peace of mind!"
Liu Dongchen didn't have a trace of strange expression on his face, he was sincere, he was serious, success or failure was just the result, the important thing was whether this friend could be made.
"Good! Since you are willing to believe me, I will pay you back twice in the future! This time, you can go with Frost to crack those traps, and if I succeed, I'll definitely come down to you! ”
Bai Qiulian first hugged his fists and saluted, and then solemnly took the silver light sword in Liu Dongchen's hand, if he succeeded this time, he could remember this kindness for a lifetime!
"This thing should be paired with this sword, you can try it yourself, I don't know what it is for."
Liu Dongchen took out the animal skin, he hasn't awakened his ancient skills yet, he can't learn these at all, and it's a waste to put it here for him, so it's better to count it for Bai Qiulian together, lest he just lack this in the end.
Bai Qiulian nodded, took the animal skin and examined it carefully.
"What a help! This thing should be the key to the activation of this sword! ”
"How dare you!"
Lin Shuang has been watching dryly, and she can't say anything, one of the two dares to go, and the other dares to give, if this was placed in the past, it may really be a plot that only exists in children's stories.
"It's called investing! Brother Bai has that need, and I happen to have this ability, if you encounter something, I will do the same! ”
Liu Dongchen glanced at Lin Shuang, and then changed his words,
"But the premise is that help is help, favor is favor, I hope you don't misunderstand, I help you because I want to help you, not covet anything from you, and you don't have to think about what you owe me!"
Liu Dongchen stared at Bai Qiulian and solemnly declared, this is his willingness to help, not that there is any greed, if he goes to his heart, it will only increase his troubles in the future, he treats the other party as a friend, not a tool, he sends something to a friend, and he doesn't need an excuse.
"Good!"
The corners of Bai Qiulian's mouth were raised, and there was a little more admiration on his face, as far as Liu Dongchen was concerned, he was willing to let him follow him for a lifetime, this is the bearing, a person who can lead the team should be like this.
"Let's go, go back and rest first, and set off at dawn, and the bell matter is settled."
Liu Dongchen shook his head, this is very troublesome, then Nangong Yun is really good at tossing, and he is still engaged in this kind of trap in the middle of the night waiting for them to drill.
"Yes, fill your stomach first, I'm hungry!"
Lin Shuang patted her stomach, the sweet potatoes she roasted over there were already ripe, and she was just ready to eat them when she went back now.
"Shuang'er, Brother Xing, I hope you understand, I want to familiarize myself with this sword in the courtyard next door for a while, if it disturbs you, I'm sorry!"
Bai Qiu couldn't even help it, he couldn't leave here, once something happened, it would be too late to support, he would have to cultivate for a while, so he could only apologize in advance.
"It's okay, I can't sleep anyway, this guy must be cultivating, it's nothing."
Lin Shuang pouted, she had long been accustomed to Liu Dongchen's side, and she could often see him still practicing cross-legged in the middle of the night, and she was really scared at first, she thought that the other party was going to do something to her, but she gradually got used to it in the next few days, and she slowly changed a lot when she saw him working so hard.
The three of them chatted all the way, and soon returned to the house, this time they carefully inspected the entire small farmer's house, and after eating, they found another place outside, Lin Shuang was dozing off in the haystack, Liu Dongchen was sitting next to the fire and concentrating on cultivation, Bai Qiu outside was dancing with a sword, and the three of them were like chivalrous people, quite a trace of rivers and lakes.
"Goo-goo..."
Early in the morning, Bai Qiulian didn't know where to catch a few big white pigeons, and was processing their feathers in the small yard.
"There's meat to eat!"
Lin Shuang stared at the pigeon in Bai Qiulian's hand, and his saliva was about to flow out.
"Wipe your hara, and eat your sweet potatoes first!"
Liu Dongchen sat on the ground, staring at Lin Shuang with disdain, last night she said that she was hungry and roasted a dozen sweet potatoes, and the three of them ate half of them, although this thing is not theirs, but at least it can't be wasted, and it's already good to have something to eat.
"Hmph, can't I eat later? Do you want to care? ”
Lin Shuang glared at Liu Dongchen, this guy is good at everything, he just likes to find fault with her, and after getting along for a while, this is what annoys her the most.
Liu Dongchen was speechless, knowing that it was useless to quarrel with her, so he simply secretly picked up two and stuffed them into his arms, he didn't want to waste them, if something happened, this thing could replenish his physical strength immediately, and it would be a pity to throw it here.
Soon, the three of them finished eating Bai Qiulian's roasted pigeons, and carefully touched them towards the City Lord's Mansion, with the last lesson, they did not enter from the main gate wall, but deliberately took a long detour, and climbed up with a rope from the high wall at the back of the City Lord's Mansion, the idea of the rope was still thought of by Bai Qiulian, he went out in the morning for this, those pigeons were an unexpected harvest.
"The view is good."
Climbing up the city tower and looking at the nearby streets and alleys, Liu Dongchen sighed, there are fewer people, otherwise this Chaozhou City should be very prosperous.
"Alas, may the departed rest in peace!"
Lin Shuang was a little disappointed, folded his hands, and bowed downward, now this is a dead city in the real sense, and after this incident, I am afraid that no one will come to live here in the future.
"Let's go, it's almost time to get down to business!"
Bai Qiulian shook his head, he couldn't be resurrected when he died, what are you talking about here? It's just a waste of saliva.
"Wait! Wrong! ”
Bai Qiulian had just dragged the rope from behind and was about to throw it down, when Liu Dongchen pressed his right hand.
"Do you smell a smell?"
Liu Dongchen squinted his eyes, it stands to reason that they should be able to see everything at the highest place, but the problem is that there is nothing except a big cage below, and the wall of this city tower is more than ten zhang high, but why can't the partition wall inside? And this taste is...
"Blood!"
Lin Shuang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and a sense of fear rose from the bottom of her heart.
"Could it be the sacrificial pit down there?"
Bai Qiulian also smelled the smell of blood that was getting stronger and stronger, when he first came up, there was a wind blowing and he didn't pay attention, but now he was lying on the ground and smelling it down, the pungent smell was disgusting.
"You mean that the bodies of those who were sacrificed in the city are here?"
Liu Dongchen was hard to accept, this is too terrifying, what kind of person can do such a thing, he thought it was all evaporated out of thin air, but he didn't expect the corpse to be here, right under their noses.
"Do you want to go down and have a look?"
Bai Qiulian turned his head to look at the two of them, it was better not to go down to this place, they came to the wrong place this time.
