"Maybe the villagers ate it themselves." Alan muttered.

"That's not right." Bai Zhi shook her head in denial, "I have also seen the situation in Xuechi Village, a large number of livestock were slaughtered on the same day. ”

Jin Buchang smiled coldly: "If someone really feeds them, they must have been cut off from food sources these days, and they would have been hungry and red-eyed." ”

Thinking of the ferocious appearance of the stone dragon, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

"But why do you want to raise this kind of, it's scary."

Dong Qingxian pondered: "Maybe it's for domestication, or maybe it's the worship of strange forces and gods." As Brother Gesang said, they are called roots-dragons. Don't you think it's strange that since you entered the mine, you have been in danger one after another. It's like someone has set up a net to lure us in. ”

"If it is a deliberate trap, its mind is indeed vicious." Liu Ruyan said coldly.

"Since it's a trap, it's better for everyone to go back, maybe this so-called sword mound is also a cover for deception." Fu Xin retreated.

Qiu Ying looked pity: "I ran for nothing, and I didn't catch half of the antiques." ”

Liu Ruyan wanted to say something more, but at this moment, a noise sounded at the end, and the group of people who had been clamoring to leave turned back again.

"Why are you back again?" She asked.

A disciple explained to her: "I was going to return the same way with my injured senior brother, but I never thought that the thief cave that had been good before was suddenly sealed, and I couldn't get out of here at all!" ”

"Sealed?" Everyone looked at each other, "Sure enough, someone is making trouble in the dark." ”

Liu Ruyan was also surprised, she didn't expect the intersection to be sealed so quickly, and the murderer hiding in the shadows was the villagers of Xuechi Village?

After all, the matter of the blood sacrifice has always been handled by the Blood Pool Village, who feed the skinks all year round and know all the layout of this underground.

So the matter of the sword mound is also a rumor spread by these villagers?

"When the eldest brothers were investigating the robbery hole, was the soil they shoveled up?" She asked Xiang Tufuzi.

Tufuzi didn't hesitate: "It is indeed new soil, to be precise, it is still the soil that was turned half a month ago." ”

Therefore, the robbery hole was only dug recently, and combined with the perennial feeding of skinks in Xuechi Village, there is actually another real exit.

Liu Ruyan said loudly: "Let's look again, there should be other ways out of the mine." ”

"Lord." Ling Yun bypassed the crowd and came to stand in front of Shen Yanchu, "Dare to ask the Venerable Lord, is there really any other way out here?" ”

Shen Yanchu said lightly: "As she said, near the lair of the stone dragon, there is indeed a stone trough that can lead to the outside world. ”

Everyone asked: "Even if there is still a way, but the skink bites people very poisonously, how can we escape?" ”

"That's right."

Liu Ruyan said to everyone present: "Behind this incident, there may be someone secretly leading, but in any case, I hope everyone can work together to tide over the difficulties." “

"That's easy to say, do you have a way to deal with reptiles?" Someone shouted again.

She looked at the questioner: "With the crossbow and fire, everyone can break out." So please come with me to the stone chamber and get some crossbows and fish oil. ”

"If you don't want to sit and wait to die, go, go get the crossbow and kill those reptiles!"

"I'll go too!"

"Let's go!"

They immediately went to the stone chamber to fetch crossbows, arrows, and mermaid oil.

He also removed a few pieces of iron birch from the waterwheel and transformed them into shields.

Subsequently, Liu Ruyan selected a few of these people to serve as crossbowmen, and each crossbowman was equipped with a swordsman to prevent the skinks from breaking through the strong crossbow array and causing casualties.

Eventually, she singled out a few shield-bearers to bolster her defenses. In this way, everyone can break out of the herd with the formation.

Taking advantage of everyone's efforts to tie hemp rope and pour fish oil on the arrows, Liu Ruyan asked the crossbowmen to familiarize themselves with the crossbow as soon as possible.

From installing arrows, aiming, shooting and other steps, practice over and over again to ensure that there will be no mistakes in every link.

This shooting mission is extraordinary, in front of them, is a group of man-eating poisonous beasts, agile, and even has a certain mind, everyone must be vigilant and fight their way out.

After some strong training, everyone was already tired and out of strength.

It was late at night.

Everyone sat down around the campfire to rest, and for the time being, they could recharge their batteries so that they could deal with the herd tomorrow morning.

At the moment when Liu Ruyan sat down, Dugu Yi took a piece of freshly baked Hu cake and sat opposite her: "I can't see that the girl's crossbow is so good, I don't know where the teacher is?" ”

Liu Ruyan looked at the cake handed in front of her, golden and crispy, with a salty fragrance. His gaze went up and down to his inquiring eyes.

Those who use crossbows are either soldiers or assassins. Dugu Yi suddenly asked where he was taught, probably because he was suspicious of her.

"What are you talking about?" Shen Yanchu came over with a copy of the ancient building, compared to the Hu cake in Dugu Yi's hand, the ancient building was full of a layer of mutton, moderately fat and thin, fragrant.

He stuffed the ancient building to Liu Ruyan and looked at the two of them condescendingly.

Liu Ruyan held the cake and almost thought that the devil was kind enough to take care of her.

"Miss Liu and I are discussing the matter of the crossbow array, and I want to take this opportunity to protect Miss Liu's safety." Dugu Yi said with a light smile.

"No need." Shen Yanchu's eyebrows were cold, and he directly refused, "With me, I won't let her have an accident." As for you, go to your good junior brother. ”

Dugu Yi was stunned for a moment, and almost blurted out - who I want to take care of, why do you decide!

Shen Yanchu saw through him at a glance, and his eyes were cold: "Those who are not pure-minded will find it difficult to reach the peak of martial arts in the future." ”

Dugu Yi changed color in shock, he stared at the other party and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Shen Yanchu lowered his eyes, but said to Liu Ruyan: "If you die easily, the deity will feel a headache." ”

Liu Ruyan sneered: "Don't worry, I'm still waiting to burn incense for you." ”

His eyes looked dangerous: "You're cursing me." ”

"How dare you, it's too late to bless you."

"When you can't see what you're thinking?"

Liu Ruyan quickly lowered her head and said sullenly: "Devil, hurry up and unlock the blood curse for me." ”

Shen Motou looked arrogant: "I don't understand." ”

"Do you want to go back on it?" She raised her voice, and her beautiful face suddenly became miserable, "The time on the boat, do you want to relive it for you again?" ”

Liu Ruyan immediately grabbed his hand, and swore to the sky with four fingers pointing upwards: "The sky is above, the sun and the moon are a lesson, if you meet a curse in the future, Shen Yanchu will order the other party to lift the ban, if not, you will be punished by heaven!" ”

Shen Yanchu rolled his eyes away, with a look of disgust: "The deity didn't promise it personally. ”

She was so angry: "I really want to regret it, you can be a scoundrel if you lose your memory." ”

He snorted.

"Tsk." Looking for a long sigh at night, doesn't the male protagonist know that tsundere is cool for a while, chasing his wife in the crematorium?

Dugu Yi, who was completely ignored by the two: "............"
