Chapter 9: Underground Distress
Jin Feng carefully felt the surrounding situation, did not feel stuffy, but cool, it can be seen that there is still ventilation here, but there is no place that looks like a vent around, and after walking for a while, a glimmer of light appeared in front of him, and the man's footsteps suddenly slowed down.
"In ancient times, there was a saying of red face and bad water, but today it is beauty that saves a life, where to go back and forth, this is fate that cannot be escaped." The man sighed softly and muttered.
Jin Feng, who was hanging upside down on the man's shoulder, didn't hear it very clearly, only vaguely heard the words "beauty" and "go back", and when he was shocked, he understood that he had escaped for so long and so far, and he still couldn't escape his fate after all, and a jade hairpin fell out of Jin Feng's wide sleeve and fell to the ground.
That was Jin Feng originally intended to end his own tightly held in his hand, but now that he has known that he has no worries about his life, he has given up, survival is human instinct, and the man seems to be unaware of his steps and walked towards the light without pausing at all.
Dead Night led the four guards in the forest to search for clues left by each other, but this time it seemed to have really disappeared, they found nothing, sweat had already soaked the wound on Dead Night's shoulder, and there was a tingling pain, her face also became very pale, and she turned her head to look at the four people who were still looking for them, and they still didn't find anything.
This casual glance at the night made her find that a withered tree on the left was a little strange, this lesson big tree trunk is very huge, it takes more than a dozen people to hug it, close up to a look at the hollow trunk, there is a tree hole that can allow a person to bend down to enter, this tree hole is very secret, there are countless air roots to cover, but at this time a corner is revealed, you can see that people are entering and exiting from here.
After seeing the four of them, they didn't notice that they flashed into the tree hole, and after coming in, they felt that it was very spacious, and there was a gradual downward passage in the backlight, and there was even a faint light flickering inside.
Walking more than a dozen steps along the passage, the night turned the corner and saw an ordinary stone door without any decoration, and a heavy aura surging from the door, with a hint of danger and weirdness.
Death Night carefully approached her body and tensed, and even had her internal qi silently ready to prevent all kinds of situations from happening, but nothing abnormal happened when she was only one step away from Shimen.
She didn't recklessly touch the tightly knit semicircular arch, but scanned the surrounding walls for several feet, and finally found a few grooves the size of a man's thumb and half a finger deep three feet away from the stone door, which seemed to be the jacks of some kind of utensils.
She slowly retreated to the corner, gently flicked a few pieces of broken silver in her hand, aimed at the grooves, flicked her fingers, and the broken silver fell into them with great speed and accuracy.
After a few soft sounds, a burst of smoke filled the stone gate within seven feet, and then there was a "buzzing" arrow breaking through the air in the smoke, which shot straight into the ground on the wall opposite the stone gate, and the tail of the arrow still trembled slightly, and formed a eagle pattern with wings ready to fly, and finally the stone door opened in response to the sound and the back was still exactly the same passage.
After leaving a few pieces of money that had become dark, the smoke quickly dissipated, leaving only a scent of flowers wafting in the air, and the night twitched his nose slightly.
This is just an ordinary incense that is useless to her, and she walked through the passage to a larger passage, which was all slowly descending, and she was already more than ten meters from the ground at this time after walking so far.
Along the way, there are a variety of traps that are dazzling, including commonly used mechanisms such as chain flaps, iron cables, hanging stones, bows, crossbows and arrows, as well as poisonous smoke, poisonous gas, poisonous insects, etc., fortunately, the four guards did not come down, otherwise they would have to lose half their lives if they did not die.
In the middle of a large hall, there were seven men with swords in their hands, and when they saw someone approaching them, they jumped up and attacked with their swords, and several of them seemed to trap her with a delicate sword formation.
Although the injured night is profound, it can be inconvenient to move, and the internal strength has a slight sense of stagnation after yesterday's poisoning.
Several people attacked in groups or took turns, which made her gradually feel physically exhausted, and the opponent seemed to understand her situation at this time and suppressed it with pure strength.
Women are mostly born weak in terms of strength, and the wrist holding the soft sword in the night gradually became numb, and the two people who captured the plate on the left with a kick containing internal force then used the soft sword to shake off the sword in front of them, and bent down to avoid the tip of the sword stabbed from behind, and with a shake of the left hand, two hidden arrows flew out, and the two were unexpectedly eliminated.
Seeing this, the rest of the people were even more pressing step by step, a sword was faster than a sword's stab, and the night could not resist it, and the left hand was pulled away, and blood immediately came out, but she took the opportunity to pick up a long sword on the ground without pain, replaced the soft sword, and quickly counterattacked, the two swords intersected and the fire was shining, and at this time she was fighting with several people equally.
Suddenly, several people began to change their tactics and attack at the same time in the same direction, and the exact same move forced her to retreat, and after retreating more than a dozen steps, she suddenly felt a chill behind her and couldn't avoid it.
At this moment, a dozen or so people walked out of a passage, and the leaders were Chu Ci, Lan Yu and Mu Yunjing, followed by more than a dozen Imperial Forest Soldiers wearing silver and white armor, several of whom were slightly injured, and the three of them hurriedly drew their swords to help when they saw the scene of death.
Chu Ci, who had the highest martial arts, jumped to the side of the night and used his sword to separate the tip of the sword that stabbed at her, Lan Yu, Mu Yunjing, and Lida, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, each separated a masked man, and the ten moves of the night with a sudden decrease in pressure killed the masked man who was fighting with him under the sword.
The long sword in her hand plunged straight into the ground and Yan Ye gasped, she was tired and had to rest for a while to fight with her internal strength, Chu Ci didn't even glance at Yan Ye, just a red-eared battle against the masked man, the second one cut the opponent under the sword, and then went to help Lan Yu kill two more masked people, now is not the time to pay attention to one-on-one competition in front of the palace.
Seeing that they had been surrounded, the three masked men knew that there was no possibility of completing the task, and they looked at each other with the long sword in their hands and suddenly shot out and nailed it to the wall, and their mouths moved to take the poison that sealed their throats with blood, and the moment they fell to the ground, countless arrows were shot from the surrounding walls, and everyone waved their swords to block the arrows of the soldiers, but fortunately, there was armor to protect themselves and not hurt the vital point.
When the rain of arrows stopped, the corpses on the ground were no longer human, and the sharp arrows covered the ground without any gaps and even completely blocked the entrance of the passage, and the bandaged people had to walk slowly along the passage in the hope of finding an exit.
Chu Ci silently looked at the dead night walking in front thoughtfully, watching her skillfully crack one mechanism after another felt extremely absurd, yesterday she was still standing on the stage and dancing, and then she was hit by an arrow and poisoned, and then she was entangled with herself several times, and in a blink of an eye, she killed several people in a row.
