It is said that Xu Xun, Chenguang, and Guo Xinzhu were about to have breakfast, and suddenly one of them ran to the table and whispered: "It's a big deal, we have to leave here quickly!" The three of them were shocked when they heard this.

It turned out that the person who came was none other than Zeng Qiang, the Tianshan Imperial Sword Sect who had been waiting here with Peng Mu before. Zeng Qiang has a baby face, is not tall, and looks a little thin.

The three of them hurriedly asked him why, Zeng Qiang looked at no one around, only the boss and a guy standing behind the counter in the distance, chatting, and then said: "I went out early in the morning for a walk, these days I have been familiar with the soldiers guarding the city, but today I saw a group of soldiers lining up out of the city, so I asked the soldiers guarding the city, and they told me that Mitarion in Kanchanaburi has declared war on the kingdom of Belen in Kanchanaburi, and the other countries on the mainland of Kanchanaburi are worried that Belen will fall soon, so they began to gather their troops to the north. And Mitarion and Belém were originally separated from each other at the two ends of the Golden Corridor, and now this declaration of war, the Golden Corridor is only difficult to pass, and our original route to Kanchanaburi will also be diverted, so we have to leave quickly and find a way to get to Kanchanaburi as soon as possible. ”

Everyone was a little shocked when they heard Zeng Qiang's words, originally everyone also knew that Mitarion in Kanchanaburi would take action, but they didn't expect the other party to be so fast, the original route was difficult to go at this moment, and the news of the Shenzhou Continent could not be obtained, and the development of the situation made everyone a little panicked.

Chenguang quickly called everyone else up, and everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Xu Xun said: "Now that this is the case, everyone can't change it, I propose to continue to move forward according to the original path, and if it is not feasible to reach the north of the Nampyanaburi continent, then find another way." ”

Chenguang said: "I also agree, the situation is changing at the moment, and improvisation is the best policy." ”

Amytis said, "I don't agree, since we know that we can't pass through the Golden Corridor, we still insist on going, aren't we willing to go far? ”

Jacktu smiled: "What Emily said is a shortcut to Kanchanaburi, but after we arrive in Kanchanaburi, if we want to return to the Shenzhou Continent, we have to cross the entire Kanchanaburi Continent, which will not only be a long distance, but also all the way to Mitarion's territory, I'm afraid it will not be good, we will have to sleep in the Kanchanaburi Continent." ”

Amytis glared at Jack Figure, but didn't say anything more.

Guo Xinzhu on the side said: "Why don't we still go to Belem, but instead of passing through the Golden Corridor, we will take a detour to the west coast of Belem, where we will find a boat to go to Kanchanaburi?"

Everyone was discussing it, and at this time, Yu Tuo, who had just come to the side, spoke: "Everyone, the old man knows a secret passage through the golden corridor, you might as well let the old man and apprentice lead the way, try to do this, if it doesn't work, then make a decision." I wonder what you think?"

When everyone heard this, they were naturally happy and hurriedly asked about this secret passage.

Yu Tuo said: "The Golden Corridor is said to be a corridor, but it is actually two or three hundred, miles wide, and nearly thousands of miles away, and it is impossible for any country to be full of soldiers in such a large place." And the secret passage that the old man said is actually not a road, but a cave buried under the golden corridor. Because the golden corridor has been eroded by the sea for many years, the part near the sea has formed a karst cave. The cave is not visible in normal times, and you have to wait until the tide goes down. However, the daily tide falls for a short time, and the caves are not connected to each other, forming a direct passage to the two ends, so countries have never paid attention to these caves. But in fact, these caves are not far apart, and for thousands of years, they have experienced countless ebb and flow, and many of them will not be filled by sea water at all, and they are already enough to connect the two ends of the Golden Corridor. ”

Suddenly, Chenguang asked, "As the master said, if we walk through these caves, how much more time will it take?"

Yu Tuo said: "The old man and the apprentice also accidentally discovered these caves, when the old man and the apprentice came from Beichanaburi, because of the unbearable heat of the golden corridor, the old man was sick, and he couldn't walk on the ground at all, he just wanted to find a place to hide from the scorching sun, but he found that there was a secret passage under the ground. Because the surface of the Golden Corridor is full of barren deserts, it is actually very difficult to walk, and the old man and the apprentice walk all the way from the underground, which is only a day's delay than walking on the ground. ”

After listening to Yu Tuo's words, everyone was overjoyed, and Xu Xun said: "Since this master can find a secret passage through the Golden Corridor, we don't need to change the itinerary, but I still suggest that everyone hurry up, lest the situation change again at that time, which is difficult to estimate." ”

Everyone agreed. So the discussion was decided immediately, and everyone went separately, going in groups of two to buy the materials needed for the trip, and strive to get on the road tomorrow. Chenguang hurried to inform the heir and his party who lived in another inn.

He was equally shocked by the news, and immediately arranged for his men to go to buy supplies, and he asked Chenguang, "I wonder where we should go next?"

Chenguang told Yu Tuo about the secret way, and the heir was happy, and said, "Very good, very good!" and then ordered his men to prepare the supplies needed for the road.

After saying goodbye to his heir, Chenguang did not go to meet with Guo Xinzhu and the others, but wandered around the market, constantly recalling yesterday's fight with Peng Mu in his mind. When he left Xingyue Valley a few years ago, he used to be the best among all the senior brothers in many aspects, but now he can't even catch three moves in the hands of Lao Ba.

Chenguang repeatedly recalled his journey all the way east, the king of thieves, the battle pig Polong, the swordsman of Yuxiaomeng, the southern continent is no less inferior to the enemy monsters, and it is also a rare opponent on Xingyue Island, and he can't help but wonder in his heart, why was he left behind so many by the senior brothers?

Before I knew it, it was almost noon, and the morning light was intoxicated in his thoughts, and he came to the most remote corner of the market in a trance. Surrounded by tall walls, it is noon, but there is no sunlight, and the ground is covered with moss and sometimes some stagnant water, and it is as if you have entered another world.

A man with an obscene face quietly came to Chenguang's side, saying something that Chenguang couldn't understand, but his hand pointed to a doorway hidden in the darkness. Although Chenguang couldn't understand his language, he roughly understood what he meant, which was to let himself enter the door.

Chenguang frowned, and was not ready to ignore him, and turned to leave, but the man reached out and patted Chenguang on the shoulder. The morning light flashed lightly to the side, and I wanted to dodge it and leave, but I didn't want the man's palm to float gently with the morning light, and it was accurately slapped on the shoulder of the morning light.

Chenguang was startled, and was about to turn around to fight back, but the man smiled, still saying something he didn't understand, but his hand immediately left Chenguang's shoulder, still pointing to the door just now.

Chenguang's heart moved, and the ghost sent him towards the door.

When I opened the door, it was just a small grocery store, as dark as the outside. On the left and right are wall cabinets full of miscellaneous goods, and on the left is a small counter with no one on the counter. Between the counter and the wall cabinet, there is a passage that can only be passed by one person. The lewd man grabbed in front of Chenguang and walked until the end of the passage, where there was another door, and the lewd man pushed the door open, and the figure disappeared into the door at once. When Chenguang looked closer, it turned out that there was a downward stairway in this door, and the lewd man was waving at Chenguang in the stairway.

I followed the lewd man down about two or three floors, and when the stairway came to the end, there was a heavy iron door in front of me. The lewd man stretched out his hand and knocked on the iron door a few times, and a one-foot-square hole was opened on the iron door, revealing a pair of eagle-sharp eyes in the hole, and the lewd man talked to the man a few words, and the hole was closed again. Randomly, the heavy iron door creaked open, and in an instant, countless noisy sounds came from behind the iron door.

The lewd man nodded and introduced the morning light to the man with eagle-eyed eyes just now, and went up the ladder again.

Chenguang looked into the door in the face of countless noisy sounds, but was suddenly blocked by the eagle-eyed man, who said a few words, but Chenguang was at a loss, not understanding what he said at all. Seeing that Chenguang didn't react, the man continued to say a few words impatiently, and Chenguang had to spread his hands this time and said in his own words: "I really don't understand what you say." ”

This time, the corners of this man's mouth pulled out a somewhat weird smile, and he also said in a very stiff Shenzhou language: "Shenzhou people, come in, inside, play with sticks, there is a big reward." ”

As he spoke, he stepped out of the way, and the morning light saw the situation inside.

It turned out that behind this door was a tunnel, the tunnel was about ten zhang away, and the entrance of the other side was only the size of a palm in the morning light, and the strong light blocked the scenery outside the cave entrance, and countless noisy sounds came from there.

Chenguang pointed to the hole in the distance and said to the man, "What is over there? Why is it so noisy?"

The man looked impatient again, and said, "You come, come and see, you know." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled the morning light into the iron door.

Chenguang also wanted to see what was on the other side of the tunnel, so he entered the iron gate. The eagle-eyed man immediately closed the iron door again, and the tunnel was dark for a moment, except for the light that shot into the hole in the distance.

Morning Light squinted, trying to see the scene outside the cave in the distance, but unexpectedly, a soft, hot body on each side squeezed over, caught him in the middle, and pushed him towards the hole in the distance.

As the light shone, the morning light saw that there were two "women" around them, they were graceful, walking and swaying, but they were almost naked, and only covered with some vine leaves at key points. Most startlingly, they had a pair of pointed ears on the top of their heads, a slit-like pupil in their large eyes, a few strands of beard on their cheeks, and a long tail behind their buttocks. The two women turned out to be subhumans.

When he came to the entrance of the cave on the other side, Chenguang found that the entrance of the cave on this side seemed to be unobstructed from a distance, and only when he got closer did he realize that the entrance of the cave was blocked by a fence, and when he looked through the hole, there was another world outside the cave.

I saw that outside the cave is a huge circular square, the square is surrounded by a few zhang high city walls on all sides, and a circle of corridors is built on the city wall, and countless people surround the corridors, and are shouting and shouting in the center of the square. And in the center of the square, there is a bloody place.

Two burly, shirtless men were fighting together in the middle of the square, one of them holding a huge stick more than a foot long and the thickness of a sea bowl, and kept smashing towards the other. The other is holding a shield in his left hand and a big knife in his right hand, but the giant stick in the hand of another strong man is really huge, and every swing almost envelops a range in front of him, and the strong man with the big knife can't get close at all, and he doesn't even dare to use his shield to block, so he can only keep dodging.

The strong man with the giant stick had several knife wounds on his body, and he was already covered in blood. The strong man with the knife was a blur of flesh and blood on his left shoulder, obviously injured by the giant stick, but Chenguang saw that some blood foam was constantly gushing out of the strong man's mouth, and he had obviously suffered serious internal injuries, and it was estimated that he was just trying to hold on now.

Sure enough, as the strong man with the giant stick smashed down, the strong man with the knife struggled to jump back, and he could dodge the stick, and the giant stick smashed on the ground, booming, shocking, and sand and stones splashed everywhere. When the strong man with the knife landed, his body shook and he almost fell.

Of course, the strong man with the giant stick will not let go of this opportunity, he shouted violently, and the giant stick in his hand suddenly swept up, with great strength, with the gray sand around the giant stick, forming a whirlwind of sand, rolling towards the strong man with the knife. The strong man with the knife had just stabilized his body, and at this moment he could not avoid it, so he had to raise the shield on his left arm and take the heavy blow.

The giant stick was just fierce, the shield was embarrassed, and seeing that the giant stick was about to hit the shield, at this moment, the whole audience held their breath, and everyone's eyes were focused on the giant stick and the shield.

It was too late to say that it was too fast, only to hear a muffled sound of "poof", the giant stick and the shield were closed and opened, and then "tom" made another loud noise, the giant stick smashed to the ground, and the strong man with the knife fell to the ground, the shield fell aside, but the big knife in his hand disappeared.

After a moment of silence, the crowd suddenly erupted into an earth-shattering exclamation! At this time, the body of the strong man with a huge stick slowly fell to the ground, and he still had a big knife stuck in his neck.

Chenguang listened to the exclamations from all sides, shook his head, in fact, the strong man with the knife had no chance of winning at all, the strong man with the giant stick just smashed on his shield, and he had been beaten to the ground, and what was even more deadly was that this stick had caused him serious internal injuries, and the shield was also smashed away, as long as he adjusted his posture, or even just needed to wait a little longer, the strong man with the knife might fall by himself. But the strong man with the giant stick was too confident, and tried to hit hard again and kill the strong man with the knife, but unexpectedly, the strong man with the knife unexpectedly found the gap before the strong man with the giant stick made a move in a desperate situation, and sent a fatal blow.

Thinking back to everything that had just happened, Chenguang's heart suddenly moved, it seemed that it was not the strength that would necessarily win, and the timing and mentality could also determine the outcome of the victory.

The eagle-eyed man behind him also sighed: "The weapon and the body are one, but if you abandon the knife, if you don't hit, you will die." Chenguang understood what he meant, the weapon and himself should be cultivated, and the weapon can move at will, many cultivators even have a saying that the sword is in the person, and the sword is dead, but it can also be seen that the weapon must not be taken off at will. So he nodded at the eagle-eyed man. But there was a movement in my heart, touching the golden stick on my back. This golden stick has always been used as a substitute for a sword, but he doesn't seem to have thought that it is not a sword at all, and he should find a trick that is more suitable for it to match.
