The Valley of the Dead is located in Gaoshan County, northwest of Lingzhou, a territory called "Jinshan County".

Jinshan County is vast and sparsely populated, mostly mountainous and hilly, with an average altitude of more than 300 meters.

Although it is a small and remote county, its name is not small at all. One is because of the Valley of the Dead Jedi, and the other is because there are many gold mines here, and thirty percent of the gold in the Great Zhou is produced here.

this day.

The weather is clear and cloudless, and the weather has become very hot and dry to the south, like Tiandufu, and it is cooler here because of the high terrain.

County.

A large group of men and horses rushed towards this place, and the black pressure was like a rolling torrent, and the momentum was terrifying, as if it could crush everything.

The soldiers guarding the city were frightened and hurried back to report, and after a while, the county commander and the county lieutenant all came to the city tower.

The county lieutenant suddenly pointed to a banner and said, "Hussar General Banner, it's Ninghou's people who have arrived!" ”

"Open the gates!"

The county magistrate immediately ordered that he had received an order from his superiors yesterday that Ninghou's people were about to cross the border, so that they could do a good job of receiving them and not make trouble with them.

A large group of men and horses stopped more than ten meters away from the city, each wearing black armor and a treasure horse in their hips.

The two leaders are the two guardians of White Tiger and Xuanwu.

The county commander trotted all the way from the city tower to the front, saluted first, and said, "The two of you are the two adults of Baihu and Xuanwu?" ”

"Exactly!"

It was Xuanwu who spoke, and the white tiger on the side was as cold as an ice cube, and he didn't say a word.

The county commander said: "The lower official has received the order of the county guard, and the place of placement has been prepared, please follow me into the city!" ”

"Dismount! Town! ”

Xuanwu gave an order, and everyone "brushed" the ground and dismounted at the same time, moving neatly as if one person.

A cold sweat flowed from the back of the county commander, this was definitely the strongest soldier and horse he had ever seen, fortunately his posture was very low, otherwise his small Jinshan County would be crushed in an instant.

The people then entered the city and came to a two-entry compound.

Wang Cheng, He Wushuang, Huang Meiren, Zhang Wentao, and Shi Liang (alternate) Five captains of more than 150 people followed Baihu to the front yard.

Everyone had been on the road for a day, and they had only rested for four hours at night, so they were all a little tired.

After eating some breakfast, I fell asleep.

Wang Cheng lived alone in a room with his men, lying on the bed, his eyes closed, and his breathing seemed to be nothing.

Suddenly, Xu Chao's voice sounded in his ears.

"My lord, why are we following Lord White Tiger? That Lord White Tiger is so weird, he didn't even say a word along the way, he can't be a dumb person, right? ”

A face appeared in Wang Cheng's mind.

A pair of eyes without the slightest fluctuation, stiff as a piece of cold iron, giving people the first feeling of murder, followed by lifelessness.

Several times Wang Cheng saw him as a dead man, because he sometimes didn't even sense the fluctuations in the aura on this person's body.

What kind of person is this?

"Maybe I think that we are all newcomers, and we are not as experienced as those in Pan Meng and Tang Cheng, so Ning Hou specially arranged for Lord Baihu to take us."

After hurriedly coping with the sentence, Wang Cheng said again: "Sleep, you will enter the Valley of the Dead in the afternoon, take care of your spirits to cope with the sudden change." ”

Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep, Xu Chao didn't ask any more, and slept honestly.

After noon, everyone was called up.

Wang Cheng put on a black battle armor, with the unopened black sword hanging from his waist, and picked up a black spear leaning against the bed.

This black gun is a spiritual weapon he received from the Zhu family, the barrel of the gun is two meters long, the whole body is pitch black, the head of the gun is thirty centimeters, white and bright as snow, it is made of mixed yuan stainless steel after thousands of tempers, it is a spiritual weapon close to the middle grade.

After arranging his outfits, he beckoned everyone to gather in the courtyard, and then dined with them.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the people set out for the Valley of the Dead, walked for another two hours, and finally arrived at three o'clock.

Except for the Qian Mountain of Baozhitang, basically everyone saw the true face of the Valley of the Dead for the first time.

I saw a large rift valley between the two high mountain ranges, twenty miles wide and bottomless.

Qian Shan pointed to the Great Rift Valley and said, "This is the sinkhole, and only after passing the sinkhole can you enter the Valley of the Dead." ”

"No wonder it's called a sinkhole, it's so wide and so deep, even our Martial Sect may not be able to cross it!" Xuanwu said with a solemn face.

When Qian Shan heard this, he hurriedly persuaded: "Don't think about flying over, no one knows what is here." According to the records of my Baozhi Hall, there was a strong warrior who flew into the sinkhole and never returned. ”

Xuanwu nodded and said, "Let's go!" Get on the boardwalk! ”

There are plank paths carved by predecessors between the mountains, and for hundreds of thousands of years, there has been no shortage of people to explore here.

All the horses were stored in Jinshan County before coming here, so they had to walk up the plank road.

The plank road is very narrow, only one meter wide, and it is not enough for two people to walk side by side.

Many places have been beaten by wind and rain for a long time, and there is no special person to repair it, and even the guardrail is gone, and the slightest carelessness will fall down.

Everyone walked very slowly, even if they all had good cultivation, but they were only a little better than ordinary people here.

Ten minutes later, everyone walked up to the highest part of the plank road, and then looked down at the thick fog, and there was no longer a sinkhole.

There seems to be a magical power underneath, perhaps from an instinct that makes people feel the urge to jump.

At this time, Qian Shan reminded loudly: "Don't look down, don't listen casually, the sinkhole below has a magical power that will suck people's minds into it!" ”

Everyone was in a state of mind, so they quickly guarded their minds and stopped listening and watching at will.

Suddenly, from the bottomless sinkhole came a chirp, like the roar of a beast, like the song of a bird, like the cry of an eagle.

Qian Shan's expression changed, and he almost screamed: "It's the Hell Demon Bird!" Everybody get down and plug your ears! ”

As soon as the words fell, someone shouted and fell down the plank road.

Xuanwu's eyes were fast, his figure disappeared in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already more than ten meters below the plank road, and he grabbed the person who fell.

At that moment, however, there was another cry from below, and it was one after another, like waves crashing against the shore.

There were people with weak cultivation who had bleeding from their mouth and nose on the spot, and the brains of the martial artists who gave birth to true qi in their bodies all had a "buzzing" sound, and they were dizzy.

The two Xuanwu who fell were the first to bear the brunt, and the true yuan was instantly difficult to operate, falling towards the sinkhole.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, another person fell from the plank road and fell headlong into the bottomless sinkhole.

"Your Excellency!"

Xu Chao's heart jumped, it was Wang Cheng who fell, he reached out to grab it, but the person had already disappeared into the dense fog below.

Finished!

Xu Chao was stunned in place, he never thought that it was his own adult who fell.

"Whew!"

The next moment, an iron claw stretched out from below and grabbed the plank road.

Then I saw Wang Cheng pulling a rope in one hand and rushing up from below, and holding the Xuanwu and the others with the other.

He stepped on the cliff with one foot, and with the help of the reaction force, he led the two back to the plank road.

After a while, Xuanwu came to his senses, but the sound of "buzzing" still echoed in his head.

The man who fell earlier was bleeding even more, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and he was unconscious.

Wang Cheng took out a small pill from his arms and stuffed it into his mouth, and his breath gradually stabilized.

At the same time, the screaming, which had lasted for thirty seconds, finally stopped.

Xuanwu shook his drowsy head, got up from the ground, patted Wang Cheng on the shoulder, and said, "Good boy, if it wasn't for you just now, Lao Tzu's life would be gone!" ”

"Your Excellency, it's serious! Even if there are no subordinates to help, the adults will be safe and sound. Wang Cheng said.

"You kid!"

Xuanwu smiled, he knew his own family affairs, if Wang Cheng really didn't make a move just now, he would have fallen for such a long time, not to mention eight or nine miles.

The sinkhole has fallen so deeply, even if he is a martial arts master, there is a high probability that he will not be able to come up.

He didn't say anything more, but he would keep Wang Cheng's kindness firmly in his heart.

"My lord, you just went down to save Lord Xuanwu?" Xu Chao was shocked.

Wang Cheng nodded, among these people, maybe he was not affected by the sound of the Hell Demon Bird.

The Hell Demon Bird is a very terrifying beast, with the appearance of an owl, it is actually much larger than an owl, an adult Hell Demon Bird is generally more than one meter five, and the largest can grow to two meters.

They prefer to live in groups, living in shady places like the abyss all year round, and rarely go out to forage for food.

Because they are born with a sonic attack, with the unique environment of the Abyss, an adult Hell Demon Bird can injure a martial artist. If a group of Hell Demon Birds attacked at the same time, it would be the Martial Sect that would also be injured.

Wang Cheng himself will attack with sound waves, and then he has the Soul Devouring Bead to calm his mind, so this kind of attack basically has no effect on him, otherwise he would not take the initiative to jump down to save people.

At this time, everyone else also came to their senses one after another.

All of them were pale and affectionate.

This has not yet reached the inner area of the Valley of the Dead, and it has already begun to be difficult to move an inch, and what dangers will be encountered in the future.

Many people retreated, staying where they were and not wanting to go any further.

At this time, Qian Shan, who was in charge of leading the way, said: "Everyone, this is not the time to rest, the Hell Demon Bird was obviously a large-scale attack just now, and the next wave of attacks may come soon." ”

He added: "We must not delay here, once it gets dark, it will be the most troublesome time, and no one knows what will come out below!" ”

After hearing this, there was still no reaction.

Xuanwu scolded: "Fucking cheer me up!" Where is this? I didn't even go five miles away, one by one I was like a coward! If you are afraid of death, Lao Tzu will send you to death now! ”

Only then did everyone get up one after another.

Xuanwu's face looked better, and said: "With Lao Tzu here, even if you fall, Lao Tzu can save you!" Also, the other captains have also listened to Lao Tzu, since they have received the position of captain, they have to take the corresponding responsibility for Lao Tzu! ”
