Zhisha Mountain is not far from Linqu Village, and the Qincha guards quickly walked to the front of the mountain, and after a short rest and replenishment of water, Sun Jinyong led his henchmen, Shi Cheng and sixty elite guards into the mountains first.

As soon as they entered the mountain, everyone felt as if they had arrived in another world, and in the embrace of the hills, there were lakes as flat as mirrors, and clumps of grass and trees grew around the lakes. The hills kept the cold night breeze and sand and dust out of the mountain, and when Shi Cheng looked at the night sky, he only felt that the moonlight sprinkled in the sky had become much brighter and brighter.

But now is not the time to enjoy this Gobi wonder, soon, Hou Yu and a few guards found a large footprint near a waste ditch, looking at the direction, it is out of the waste ditch, going to the depths of the mountain.

The hearts of all the guards were vigilant, and after Sun Jinyong looked at the surrounding terrain, he walked at the front of the team and followed the footprints with the guards. Zhao Ping, Lu Qian, and Shi Cheng followed Sun Jinyong's side, Wu Neng and Tie Mian walked behind Shi Cheng, and Hou Yu was in a relatively backward position, commanding the sergeants in the rear of the ranks.

After walking through a bush, a majestic sound reached everyone's ears, and as they walked further, the sound grew louder and louder, and soon, a waterfall falling from a cliff appeared in front of them.

"There's a waterfall!" Wu Neng exclaimed, "Am I still in the Western Desert Country?" ”

Shi Cheng's expression was relatively calm, he had heard Sun Jinyong talk about the waterfall here before, so he was not too surprised in his heart.

The stray footprints stretched to the back of the cliff and into a mess, and after the guards cleared the bushes, they found an extremely hidden cave behind the cliff.

"This cave seems to have been carved out by man." Sun Jinyong frowned and said: "We have a total of sixty guards who have entered the mountain, and the remaining more than 100 people are guarding outside the mountain to respond, if the thieves set up an ambush inside, I am afraid we will not even have time to send a signal." ”

"My lord, do you want to call the brothers from outside the mountain to come in, or we will stay near here until the officers and soldiers come to support." Zhao Ping asked.

"The officers and soldiers don't know when they will come, and we don't know if the thieves have dug a secret passage to the outside, maybe before the officers and soldiers arrive, they have already run away without a trace, and then we are afraid it will be even more difficult for us to return to the DPRK." Sun Jinyong pondered for a while, and said: "Ah Ping, you crush the communication talisman, and let the few teams left behind outside the mountain go to the mountain to support, there are more people, and there will be a good response when you go in to investigate." We came this time with the mentality of not going into the tiger's den to get the tiger's son. ”

Zhao Ping nodded, took out a simple communication array disk, and after fiddling with the turntable on it a few times, a blue light flashed in the array disk.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no reaction at all. Zhao Ping was shocked in his heart, he checked the array disk, and exclaimed in a low voice: "How can this be? Why did the brothers who stayed behind outside reply to the letter for a long time, we must not have stepped out of the scope of the array, this array has not received interference, and there is obviously no problem! ”

Everyone's faces became ugly, and Wu Neng's body trembled a little. Sun Jinyong frowned, he immediately made a decision, and ordered his subordinates: "Something happened!" Immediately retreat and go out of the mountain to check the situation. ”

Lu Qian and Hou Yu were also colorless, "How is this possible, although the guards left behind outside are not the elite of the guards, they are not comparable to ordinary sergeants, how could they quietly lose contact with us?" ”

"Panic what!" Sun Jinyong snorted, "Listen to my order, change the rear team to the front team, and retreat immediately!" ”

But just when everyone was about to leave, the originally calm sand mountain suddenly blew violently, and the violent wind and waves rushed towards the guards like knives wrapped in gravel, and the guards who were originally in a neat formation were instantly in chaos, and when the gravel hit their bodies, it was as if they had been hit by a giant hammer, and in an instant, screams, moans and angry curses were endless.

"When the wind and waves were lurking, the wind and clouds suddenly changed in an instant when they were launched, and these thieves actually laid such a powerful formation in the mountains in advance, and none of us noticed it!" Sun Jinyong's face changed drastically.

Shi Cheng's face sank like water, and he suddenly remembered the misty array that almost trapped himself and Wu Neng that day, and said: "The person who arranged the formation is definitely not ordinary, either the handwriting of the formation master is the hand of the person who arranged the formation has a powerful formation magic weapon in his hand. ”

Sun Jinyong shook his head and said, "The only Grandmaster Realm master in this world who has comprehended the way of the formation is the Great Wei Privy Envoy, Wang Hanfeng and Wang Taishi!" Unless those thieves found a reclusive Grandmaster in some ravine, it was unlikely that the Great Array here could be made by the Formation Dao Grandmaster. I'm more inclined to have a powerful magic weapon in their hands that can be deployed. ”

"My lord, what should we do now?" Zhao Ping asked anxiously.

Sun Jinyong looked at the surrounding wind and said helplessly: "There is no way, let all the guards gather their formations and enter the cave together." ”

Under the threat of the fierce wind, everyone had no choice but to retreat into the cave and walk towards the unknown depths.

Nearly half of the sixty guards who followed them into the mountain were lost under the strong attack of the large array just now, and most of the rest were wounded and exhausted. If it weren't for Sun Jinyong pressing here, these sergeants who were already a little noisy would probably have scattered and fled.

Shi Cheng stood beside Sun Jinyong, and shook his head secretly in his heart, these sergeants are just soldiers in the army of the Southern Wilderness Country, if they are replaced by the pro-guard army of the Alliance Khanate or the sergeants of the forbidden army of the Wei State here, although there may be heavy casualties, but they can definitely strictly defend the military formation, and it is impossible for the army to be scattered.

Under the light of the fire on the torches, everyone soon walked out of the relatively narrow corridor and entered an extremely wide stone room. Along the way, Wu Neng was concentrating on observing the surrounding rock walls in case the enemy had set up hidden crossbows and other mechanisms in the corridor.

"Let's take a break here and move forward." Sun Jinyong looked at the entire stone chamber and said to the sergeants under him.

However, at this moment, there was an explosion of spirit runes in the corridor behind him, followed by the sound of the mountain collapsing, and in the explosion, an arrogant voice laughed wildly: "Still want to move forward?" Stay here for me today! ”

"What people!" Zhao Ping shouted, and under the light of the fire, he found that on a high platform not far ahead, a black figure holding a token stood at some point.

In the darkness where the fire could not be illuminated, there was a large number of sounds of the walls being knocked down, and the half-corpses with red eyes and black gas all over their bodies stepped over the toppled stone wall and rushed towards the people in the stone chamber.

"Hell!" The young sergeants couldn't hold it anymore, and they turned around and fled to the corridor behind them, but it didn't take long to find that the entire corridor had been blocked by sand and stones.

There was chaos in the stone room at this time, and the soldiers who were resting didn't have time to organize the military formation before they were knocked down by the half-corpses, and the soldiers with better skills were still able to fight back, but the poor ones were torn to pieces on the spot.

Sun Jinyong's eyes were cracked, and he waved the waist knife in his hand vigorously, and with the cooperation of his cronies and Shi Cheng and others, he cut down several half-corpses, getting closer and closer to the black shadow.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the black shadow whistled, and several half-corpses rushed towards everyone, while he himself turned around and ran into the darkness behind him.

"Where to run!" With the help of Zhao Ping and Lu Qian, Sun Jinyong knocked down a half-corpse, Shi Cheng and Tie Mian also shot together, and the three-headed half-corpse was beaten into meat sauce.

After fighting a bloody way, Sun Jinyong took the lead and rushed towards the place where the black shadow had fled, and Shi Cheng and the three, Zhao Ping, Lu Qian and Hou Yu also followed.

Although the black shadow was good, there was only one road behind the stone room, and after a while, everyone chased after the end of the road, but the black shadow disappeared out of thin air.

Sun Jinyong withdrew his waist knife and took out an illumination charm to illuminate the end of the road.

It turned out that there was an inconspicuous stone gate blocked there, after seeing the stone gate, Sun Jinyong hurriedly made a gesture to his three henchmen, the three of them understood, and shot together, with a boom, the stone gate was broken into several pieces, and in the darkness behind the door, there was the sound of a waterfall.

The group cautiously entered the door and found themselves behind the waterfall, where the bright crescent moon shined through the curtain of water and illuminated a dark shadow standing not far away.

The black shadow stretched out his hands and tore open the black robe on his body, revealing a pair of red eyes, and the wisps of black gas coming out of his body made the moonlight around him dim a little.

Zhao Ping, Lu Qian, and Shi Cheng walked in front, Hou Yu walked on the left, and Wu Neng and Tie Mian walked on the right, and everyone outflanked the half-corpse holding the token in front of them in an arc.

Zhao Ping had participated in the inspection on Xieyang Road, and at this time he also recognized the half-corpse in front of him, "You, you are Wang Chun, the village chief of Linqu Village?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey, that's right, it's me, Lord Zhao, don't come unharmed."

A human-like monster talked to everyone face-to-face like an ordinary person, which made Zhao Ping's heart feel a thick chill, he forcibly endured the fear in his heart, and shouted: "Are you a human or a ghost!" Now that you're surrounded by us, drop the token and grab it. ”

"Tied up? Hahaha! Wang Chun kept sneering, "Lord Zhao, it seems that you still can't recognize the situation, do it!" ”

At the moment when Wang Chun shouted his move, a cold dagger pierced into a cloak, reaching the handle, and with a muffled snort, Zhao Ping, Wu Neng, and Tie Mian all widened their eyes.

Shi Cheng's eyes were wide open, a hoarse voice came out of his mouth, and he looked behind him in disbelief, Sun Jinyong was already standing there at some point, holding a dagger in his left hand that had been drawn out of nowhere, and it was deeply inserted into Shi Cheng's heart from behind, and the red blood was gurgling out, and the cold blade left outside the body was glowing with a ghostly light, obviously coated with extremely poisonous poison.

The dagger was drawn, blood spurted out, and Shi Cheng closed his eyes with an expression of extreme surprise, and then he fell to the ground, never moving again.

"Old Stone!" Wu Neng's heart seemed to be clenched, and his mind was at a loss, the invincible man who seemed to him to be powerful actually fell in front of him like this.

Zhao Ping's hands couldn't stop trembling, he couldn't believe the changes that had happened in front of him, he looked at Sun Jinyong, but he only saw a pair of calm eyes that couldn't be calmer.

Before the words of questioning could be spoken, the big vertebral point behind Zhao Ping suddenly went numb, and a force invaded the acupoint through the armor, Zhao Ping could no longer control his body, and fell to the ground softly, but found that Lu Qian, who he regarded as a brother, was standing beside him, looking at him expressionlessly.

Tie Mian drew his sword out of the sheath, and a powerful sword aura with sword intent slashed towards Sun Jinyong quickly and incoherently, but Sun Jinyong did not panic, his right hand was raised slightly, and a wall of true qi condensed was erected in front of him, blocking Tie Mian's extremely fast sword.

Tie Mian raised his head, his eyes were extremely solemn, and he said word by word: "You...... Half-step Grandmaster?! ”
