Chapter Eighty-Three: The Wooden Box
Qin Peng panted and sat on the side of the dark corner formed by the gravel pile somewhere, with the help of the stone pile to hide his body, no matter which side of the passage occurred, he could sense it for the first time.
This time the thrill was even worse than the battle with Jiang Mengying in the dense forest. At least he had a back hand at the time, but tonight it was a complete emergency.
Fortunately, he responded in time and didn't throw his life here.
However, this also confirms that the rewards of the virtual panel are not so easy to get. Qin Peng found that the higher the reward each time, the more difficult and dangerous the things he did.
If he was lucky this time, he would be able to find the opportunity of the Demon Emperor Cave Mansion, and he vowed never to take orders again next time!
Running Jiuyang Wuji Gong, Qin Peng silently healed his wounds. He didn't dare to stay in one place for too long, and every few minutes, he would move the place.
If you put aside the general internal strength method, you can't heal the injuries at all, but Jiuyang Wuji Gong is really terrifying, every time Jiuyang True Qi passes a place, the injuries on the body are like soaking in a hot spring, and they are gradually healing.
In the second half of the night, Qin Peng couldn't figure out where he had gone around, but the blood stains on the ground were becoming more and more obvious, and the bloody qi was also getting worse, and he speculated that this place should be the place where the heroes of the rivers and lakes fought each other.
A broken big stone gate in front of it, ten zhang high, only a few broken walls remain at this moment, the ground is mostly cracked, and uneven, there are both weapon fragments in the gaps, and there are countless human tissues.
This is still the appearance after the scene was cleaned up by the Jinyi Division, but it can be seen that for the opportunity of the Demon Emperor, those Jianghu people really even beat out the dog's brain!
Qin Peng first sensed the situation behind the stone gate and made sure that there was no one, so he cautiously walked in.
The area of the stone chamber is very large, and there are grooves on the walls, which should be used to place things, but the layout inside has long been outdated, and even if there is any estimate, it has been destroyed.
There were some new footprints on the ground, and some signs of debris being turned over. Qin Peng's eyes flashed, suspecting that Jiang Mengying and the others had come in.
Walking around the stone chamber, Qin Peng didn't notice anything, and couldn't help but shake his head self-deprecatingly.
There are so many outstanding people on the rivers and lakes, why does he think that he can discover secrets that others can't find? He's not the main character!
This thought suddenly made Qin Peng raise his eyebrows, Bai Zhongyu should have come in with Jiang Mengying and the others, and he didn't even find the opportunity for the other party, the destined protagonist?
Although not all opportunities in this world have to belong to the protagonist, but generally speaking, in a place like the Demon Emperor Cave Mansion, the protagonist has come, and there should be something to gain.
Judging from the situation at the scene, Bai Zhongyu and others did not find anything.
Could it be that he guessed wrong, Bai Zhongyu and the others haven't come in yet? But with so many footprints on the scene, it is unlikely that it could be someone else.
Qin Peng's eyes flashed, recalling the past, not to say that there was a mistake in any link, it was probably Jiuyang Wuji Gong, this internal skill that should have belonged to Bai Zhongyu was now mastered by himself.
So will the opportunity here be related to Jiuyang Wujigong?
This idea was a bit ridiculous, but Qin Peng, with the mentality that it would not hurt to give it a try, decisively ran with all his strength, and a layer of Jiuyang True Qi spread out, and soon spread throughout the entire stone room.
With his current state, he really affected the injury, and was about to quickly withdraw his internal force, Qin Peng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly turned his head to look at a corner against the wall in the east.
In this corner of the wall, there was an aura in the ground that seemed to sense the same kind, and in an instant, it was like a tiger opening its eyes, and an extremely terrifying aura erupted.
Jiuyang is really angry!
No, this is no longer Jiuyang's true qi. Although it comes from the same source, it is many times purer than Qin Peng's Jiuyang True Qi, which is the breath that can only be possessed when you practice the Jiuyang Wuji Skill to the extreme!
To Qin Peng's relief, this terrifying aura only appeared for a moment before it dissipated all around. Since then, there has been no movement.
Qin Peng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and pestle in place for a long time, but after all, he still couldn't resist the temptation of the Demon Emperor's chance, and walked to the east corner step by step.
If there was really a threat underground, something happened to him just now, not to mention that when he tested it with Jiuyang True Qi again, there was nothing abnormal underground.
"If you don't take it, you will be blamed for it, and it should be fine."
Qin Peng pulled out the Red Dragon Sword, and at this time, he showed the benefits of a divine weapon. The Red Dragon Sword sharpened iron like clay, and Qin Peng controlled the internal force to cut a rectangle into the ground, and then pried up the rectangular stone along the cut side.
He kept digging down, keeping an eye out for the situation outside the stone. In his state, if there is a strong master blocking the door, he will definitely die tonight.
The movements in Qin Peng's hands continued to speed up, his heart was always in his throat, and he dug for a while, and because of the haste of his movements, he made himself disgraced.
His hands were so sore that he could barely lift them, but he held his breath and forcibly used his exercises to pry the stones underground, but the stones he pried up became smaller and smaller.
Bang!
Another stone was picked up, Qin Peng half-knelt on the ground, so tired that he could only support his body with a sword, the hand holding the sword was broken, and the back of his palm was full of swollen green tendons and blood vessels.
Qin Peng was drenched, but his eyes were unprecedentedly bright, because at his feet, a long wooden box lay quietly.
The wooden box is gray-brown, and it looks old, and the texture on the surface reveals a quaint atmosphere, locked with a small lock made of pure gold, showing the cherished meaning of the owner.
From this wooden box, Qin Peng sensed the Jiuyang Qi that had not long been dispersed.
It is impossible for the wooden box to store internal force, so the only explanation should be that the owner of the wooden box often touches the wooden box, and over time, the wooden box also carries the owner's breath.
But if this is the case, the strength of the owner of the wooden box is too terrifying, which can be called incredible!
Qin Peng took a deep breath, raised his other hand, and grabbed the wooden box. He didn't dare to delay at all, he picked up the three-foot-long wooden box, jumped directly onto the ground, and then rushed out of the stone chamber without looking back with all his strength.
Fortunately, he was lucky this time, and he didn't meet a martial arts master again along the way.
However, when he arrived at the mouth of the ground, Qin Peng did not rush out immediately. If he is Jiang Mengying and others and wants to kill him, the best way is to block the underground mouth and wait for him to come out at any time.
Looking up, a shadow of the moon shone on the side of the stone wall in front of him, the moonlight was dim, and there was no movement at the entrance of the cave above, but this made Qin Peng feel the danger.
Qin Peng slowly retreated, not daring to make a single movement, his face was not real in the dark.
At the underground entrance above, a group of people surrounded it, and it was Jiang Mengying and others.
After waiting for a while, Wei Chitao whispered: "Fairy Jiang, according to your opinion, Qin Peng's subordinates are extremely insidious, could it be that he has already left?" ”
Jiang Mengying pondered for a moment and replied, "It's hard to say, with Qin Peng's caution, he should leave this place as soon as possible." But at that time, he was in a panic, and he might not be able to find the exit so quickly.
And Qin Peng's personality can be described as quite contradictory, on the one hand, he is very cautious, but sometimes he is terrifyingly bold.
Tonight, he went deep into this place, proving that he was tempted by the Demon Emperor's chance, and he would not come to the opposite. It's a pity that such a talent is willing to surrender to demons. ”
Listening to Fairy Jiang's half-emotional words, there was a little bit of praise for Qin Peng in and out of his words, and Wei Chitao and the others didn't feel good in their hearts.
A young man said murderously: "I hope he has slipped away, otherwise I don't believe that he can be an underground rat for a lifetime, as long as he dares to come out, with our strength, he can't kill a mere Qin Peng?" ”
