Chapter Seventy-Seven: Qingcheng Swordsman
After a few days, Lin Cheng finally walked out of the Fallen Horse Desert and came to the Qingcheng Mountain Range, which was disturbed by green clouds and densely forested with mountains.
The Qingcheng Mountain Range is the only barrier between the Fallen Horse Desert and the Sheyang Country, in order to resist the Heavenly Wolf Country, as well as the Earth King Scorpion Plague that occurs from time to time. Sheyang established a famous frontier city in this mountain range, Qingzhou City, known as Qingcheng.
Qingcheng stands at the foot of Cuiyun Peak, the highest peak of Qingcheng Mountain, with an area of 20 times that of Qizhou City, and a population of more than 10 times that of Qizhou City, and a large number of troops are stationed all year round.
There are three small Wrai Towers and one medium-sized Wrai Tower in the city. Low-level demon tails can be seen everywhere, and even the existence of the demon pill realm is not a rare figure, and it is one of the cities with the most demon tails stationed in the entire Lingnan County.
Lin Cheng originally wanted to change into decent clothes in any small city around Qingcheng, but because of the big movement that happened in the desert before, all the cities in the Qingcheng Mountain area have been under martial law, and it is really difficult for a person like him who has no identity and is dressed suspiciously to enter such a military city.
Moreover, he was penniless, and he returned home, and his surname Suo was like a hunter in the mountains, crossing mountains and mountains, wading through the abyss, and walking through the barren mountains, instead of taking the "road of horses" built by the human race.
......
In the jungle, all kinds of birds flew all the way, and it turned out that Lin Cheng was constantly jumping among the dense trees. This feeling reminded him of the experience when he was hunting in the first line of heaven, because all the wolves came out together, and he went up the tree to escape for his life......
Suddenly, he heard the faint sound of a gurgling spring in the distance, accompanied by a chaotic human voice, and immediately slowed down his speed, slowly approaching, wanting to see what was going on, and then decide whether to cross directly.
Because, although he is in the desolate and rarely inhabited mountains, from time to time there will be demon tails to patrol here, collect medicine, or hunt demon beasts. If they find out and notice, it will inevitably be a little troublesome.
When he was about ten zhang away from the human voice, Lin Cheng stopped moving forward, and carefully climbed from the trunk of the tree to the ground, and sure enough, he saw a shallow stream of water.
But the strange thing is that this water does not seem to be a perennial stream, but rather a sudden stream of water, without a fixed stream track, just spreading indiscriminately.
Moreover, Lin Cheng smelled that there seemed to be a faint smell of blood wafting down the water, which immediately aroused his vigilance.
He immediately listened to the sound and identified the position, lifted the spirit pupil, and looked towards the place not far away where the voices of people gradually stopped, but the sound of water seemed to be getting louder and louder.
Under this look, Lin Cheng couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
I saw that ten zhang away, in a small clearing, two men in green clothes each held an iron sword more than three feet long, pointing at each other, and were nervously confronting each other. The sword of one of them was stained with crimson blood.
In the middle of them, suddenly there was a column of water the thickness of a bowl, emerging from the thick weeds and rotting leaves, spurting out more than three feet high, spreading in all directions.
Next to the spring, a woman with a long sword on her back and also wearing a green coat was crawling motionless in the water, and a huge hole more than three inches long had been pierced on her vest, and there was a gushing blood flowing from under her body, which spread out in large clusters with the current. His face was as pale as paper, his eyes were wide open, and he was clearly dead......
"Yang Sui, how can you be so ruthless and actually poison your teammates in the same team?"
The bloodless young man on the sword, with beads of sweat the size of rice grains on his forehead, his eyes were fixed on the middle-aged man with a gloomy face holding the bloody sword opposite him, and he asked with a look of disbelief.
"Han Ning, although you haven't been in Qingcheng for a long time, you are also an old oilman in the end, and you should know the truth of 'babies don't enter the tower'. This little girl is young and ignorant of the world, and the 'water root' is by no means an ordinary treasure. Sharing the treasure with her is too risky, and it will definitely be publicized. When the law enforcement team investigates, not only will the treasure not fall into their hands, but I am afraid that they will be punished heavily. ”
The man who was known as Yang Sui heard this, and said disapprovingly: "Therefore, it will definitely not be a bad thing to be without her." In this way, the two of us can safely pick out this 'water root' and take it to the black market for auction, and the demon spirit beads obtained will be divided equally between you and me, wouldn't it be happy?"
Han Ning snorted coldly and said, "Although Han Mou's knowledge is shallow, I still know about the strange treasure 'Water Root'. How could anyone take such a thing out for auction? Don't say it's us, even if it's the demon tail of the Demon Pill and the Demon Yuan realm, they should stay and enjoy it for themselves. It's a nice thing to say with Han, I'm afraid that when you say this, you're thinking about how to poison me behind my back, right?"
"Poisoning you? Although I'm older than you, our cultivation is comparable. If you don't do more than 20 moves, I'm afraid you won't be able to tell the difference between life and death. When the time comes, the movement will be too big, and you and I won't be able to get it well. Yang Sui shook his head and replied.
Han Ning frowned, not only did he not feel relieved by what Yang Sui said, but he became even more frightened, and suddenly took out a bamboo tube as thick as a big finger and as long as chopsticks from the skin bag on his waist and held it in his hand.
"Han Ning, are you crazy? What are you doing with the Cloud Piercing Arrow? If you bring someone else, this treasure will not be ours! If you have something to worry about, the two of us can still discuss!"
Seeing this, Yang Sui immediately became a little anxious, and hurriedly stopped him and said: "Moreover, you must know that this dead girl is Hu Qingfeng's good friend, if you attract him, you and I will not be able to get rid of it!"
"I'm crazy? Hehe, I think you're really crazy! You killed people, they have nothing to do with me, what do I have to be afraid of? It's you, just wait to be wanted by the Demon Spirit Tower!"
Han Ning said, and immediately triggered the bamboo tube in his hand. But when he heard a scream, a red flame shot up into the sky and quickly shot into the air. Then it exploded with a "boom" and turned into dazzling fireworks.
"Yang Sui, if I were you, I would have run away now!"
Han Ning looked at Yang Sui, grinned wide, and said with a smile.
"I see, boy Han Ning, I, Yang Sui, underestimated you, I didn't expect you to think of this layer. ”
Yang Sui's face sank like water, but he didn't leave according to his words, and said with a smile: "However, you laughed a little early!"
"What do you mean?" Han Ning was suddenly shocked.
The next moment, but hearing a terrible scream, Han Ning suddenly rolled back and avoided it, his right leg seemed to have been injured by something, he limped unsteadily, and almost fell to the ground.
"Yang Sui, you dare to raise the land king scorpion!"
Han Ning looked at the place where he had been standing, and crawled out of a hideous scorpion more than a foot long, his face suddenly huddled together, and he said in horror. And hurriedly took out a pill he carried with him and swallowed it in his mouth.
"The Earth King Scorpion with the surname of Water, maybe you haven't seen it yet, right? This kind of scorpion venom is not something that ordinary antidotes can suppress. Yang Sui said, a black snake-tailed phantom suddenly appeared behind him, and without hesitation, holding a long sword, he stabbed Han Ning in the past.
Seeing this, Han Ning's eyes flashed, he bit the tip of his tongue, opened his mouth and sprayed, and immediately spit out a thick red poisonous mist, and the hideous blood mist, like a blood python, pounced on Yang Sui.
Seeing this, Yang Sui didn't dare to underestimate it at all, not advancing but retreating, the snake's tail behind him was warped, and he quickly pinched a water finger in his hand, and a large spring water suddenly floated under his feet, blocking him layer by layer.
"What a fog snake Han Ning, there are really some means!"
The surging poisonous mist permeated the water curtain in front of Yang Sui, as if it was unstoppable, and continued to surge towards Yang Sui, making him retreat again and again, not daring to resist.
"It's a pity that I have a good location, otherwise there is really no way to take your poisonous mist!"
Yang Sui said, holding a sword in one hand and pinching the trick in the other, the snake tail behind him suddenly stretched to more than eight feet long, swaying left and right, and all the spring water with the thickness of the bowl mouth rose with it, splashing fiercely in all directions, and soon the poisonous mist was directly empty.
Han Ning was injured on one foot and couldn't walk, seeing that his poisonous mist was broken, he had to lean against a big tree, with a snake tail like smoke and mist behind him, and a long sword in his hand, intending to fight to the death with Yang Sui.
Yang Sui laughed a few times, and was about to step forward to end Han Ning. At this moment, the bird chirped, and the sound of hurried footsteps was heard not far away, apparently someone was coming.
Yang Sui frowned, looked at Han Ning, who was spraying poison, and suddenly scolded, picked up the Earth King Scorpion under his feet, and fled in a hurry.
After a few breaths, a man also dressed in green clothes and carrying a sword on his back rushed to the spring. It has the eyes of a nose and an eagle, and its sharp eyes quickly swept the surroundings, and hurriedly ran to the female corpse next to the spring.
However, before his hands touched the woman's corpse, his eyes were immediately attracted by the spring beside him, and he said in a lost voice: "The spring of water roots? This is the spring of water roots......
"Senior Brother Hu, Senior Brother Hu...... It's Yang Sui's house. We discovered this water root together, and Yang was moved by greed...... I want to kill us all and take the treasure for myself......"
Han Ning spurted crimson blood in his mouth, and said to the man: "Senior Brother Hu, the junior brother has been poisoned by the scorpion venom of the water genus surnamed Diwang Scorpion, and I beg my senior brother to borrow me a medium-grade antidote pill, and I will be ......rewarded for it."
"Senior Brother Hu" frowned slightly when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, got up and walked to Han Ning.
Seeing this, Han Ning was immediately overjoyed, and was about to say something to thank him, when "Senior Brother Hu" snatched the long sword in his hand, slashed into his heart, and killed him......
Then, as soon as he drew his long sword, he threw it into the water, and walked to the spring that was still bubbling with joy. He poked his arm into the water jet, rubbed it for a few breaths, and then pulled it out. He pulled out a milky white object that was more than three feet long, covered with hairy roots, and looked like ginseng......
