At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper walked in,

Came straight to Jiang Yuling and a few people, arched his hand, and said with a look neither humble nor arrogant, "If the three adults are willing to spare my life, I am willing to help conceal the news of Zheng Dong's death." ”

"Why should we trust you?" Jiang Yuling looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.

The middle-aged man raised his head, "The previous things were all Zheng Dong's personal actions, with me, as well as Ziyang Mansion's facial features, in addition, his behavior is already equivalent to betraying Ziyang Mansion, and our Ziyang Mansion will naturally not waste manpower and material resources for a traitor." ”

"What you said, if it weren't for the clothes, I feel that you are more like the city lord than Zheng Dong." Luo Mian looked at the man and raised his eyebrows.

"My name is Xu Hui, and I was originally the deputy city lord of this giant tiger city, but I was suppressed by Zheng Dong to become what I am now, and I can only be a small housekeeper in the city lord's mansion."

In fact, Jiang Yuling and the three of them were able to help him get rid of Zheng Dong, who had been pressing him, and Xu Hui was grateful to the three of them, so he was willing to sell them a favor.

Moreover, Xu Hui is not as blind as Zheng Dong, he clearly knows that the three people in front of him are definitely not things in the pool.

In the face of such a person, if you are not sure that you will be killed with one blow, it is best not to offend.

In addition, although he is only the deputy city lord and has been suppressed by Zheng Dong as a small housekeeper, in fact, he has been secretly developing his forces all these years, but in order to avoid being detected, these forces are not in Giant Tiger City.

Because of this, he learned a lot of secret news.

In the end, Jiang Yuling and the three chose to believe Xu Hui's words, not because they believed in Xu Hui's character, but because they understood that since he dared to come out openly, he must have a back hand.

They could naturally kill Xu Hui, but it didn't do them any good.

"Okay, just do as you say." Qi Linran said.

After getting the promise, a smile appeared on Xu Hui's face, and then he changed the conversation and said, "However, I can only guarantee that it will be delayed for half a month, Zheng Dong is the lord of a city after all......

Xu Hui noticed that the eyes of Jiang Yuling and the three of them were gradually becoming dangerous, and hurriedly continued to explain, "However, within this half a month, I will prove to the above that Zheng Dong is a traitor, and when the time comes, even if the Ziyang Mansion knows the truth of what is known, it will not be investigated." ”

"Are you sure?" Jiang Yuling looked at Xu Hui with suspicious eyes.

After a long time, Jiang Yuling slowly retracted his gaze, and a clear voice sounded above Xu Hui's head, "City Lord Xu, I hope you will do what you say." ”

Hearing this, Xu Hui raised his head quietly and in surprise, just met a pair of sharp eyes, and his eyes were not shocked, making him feel as if he had been seen through, so frightened that he immediately lowered his head again.

After the three of them left the Giant Tiger City, Luo Mian asked curiously, "You just kept looking at that Xu Hui, did you see something?" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yuling shook his head, "I didn't see anything, I just scared and scared him, it was because he had a ghost in his heart, so he was weak-hearted." ”

She just learned the look in her brother's eyes when she was a child, when she asked her where she was hiding snacks, who knew that this person's psychological quality was so poor.

Luo Mian, who didn't think of such a reason, asked again, "Then why do you call him City Lord Xu?" ”

"Didn't you say it yourself? He is the deputy city lord of Giant Tiger City, so it's not wrong for me to call Xu City Lord. Jiang Yuling said as a matter of course.

What's more, now that the real city lord is dead, isn't it the turn of the deputy city lord to take the throne.

"I guess now that Xu Hui has already discovered something, and you have been scared out of the psychological shadow." Qi Linran said with a smile.

Jiang Yuning puffed out her cheeks dissatisfiedly, "How can I be so terrifying, I'm not a devil, I said that he was weak in heart." ”

"Yes, yes, you're right, it's his own weak heart." Qi Linran hurriedly smiled and changed his words.

Luo Mian, on the other hand, had a strange expression and muttered in a low voice, "You are much more terrifying than the devil." ”

At the same time, on the other side of this ancient battlefield.

Ye Sisi, Qiu Yue, Gu Yuan, Shangguan Qingtian, Duanmuyan and Ouyang Jing were running with all their might.

And behind them, the earth continued to crack, and countless ugly, rotten pains slowly emerged from the ground.

These vines seemed to have eyes, and they kept pressing towards several people.

Behind them, a huge tree with no leaves but bare branches rose from the ground, and around it, there were countless similar vines, which looked like wriggling black snakes from a distance.

"Ye Sisi, aren't you cultivating the power of the fire spirit, hurry up and burn these vines." Gu Yuan said loudly.

Hearing this, Ye Sisi dodged the attack of the vines and replied, "You think I don't want to, I've already tried, and the flames are useless against them at all." ”

Seeing the pain behind him, he still chased after him, and even in order to hunt them down, the tips of those pain slows actually grew eyes and teeth.

A posture of not eating them, vowing not to give up.

"No, don't you want to fight like this."

Spit and complain, everyone who saw this scene accelerated the pace of their feet, and no one wanted to be left as fertilizer.

"If I ever see those two men who showed us the way again, I will have them torn to pieces, and then their bones will be scattered." Ye Sisi said viciously.

Yes, the reason why they ended up where they are now is completely because they were deliberately pointed out the wrong way.

At this moment, in front of their escape path, a bottomless rift suddenly appeared.

Everyone stopped, felt the ground tremble, and a bad premonition welled up in their hearts.

Sure enough, in the next second, a thick vine came out from under the ground.

The difference from the black vines chasing them behind them was that the vine in front of him was brown and covered with wet soil, saying that it was a vine and more like a tree root.

What is frightening is that on the top of this root, there are many bones, some of which have completely turned white, and some of which are still stained with some flesh and blood.

With the appearance of the roots, more soil was brought out of the ground, and more bones were brought out.

These white bones, there are monsters and people.

It is not surprising that if Ye Sisi and a few people are caught, they will end up with the same fate as these white bones.

With bottomless abyssal cracks and cannibalistic tree roots in front of them, and black pain behind them, they are already in a dilemma.

At this moment, there was another tremor under their feet, and immediately after, the entire ground began to collapse.
