Chapter 564: Poisoning
"Are you here to enjoy the mountains and rivers?"
Wang Li glared at Lingyan, and was about to warn Lingyan not to move, when something in the garden seemed to run over quickly.
"Quick, catch up." Throwing down this sentence, Wang Li hurriedly chased forward.
The thing was fast, and in an instant it ran through the garden, passed through a moon gate, and was nowhere to be seen.
Wang Li looked at the open space in front of him, except for the low grass, there was nothing else, no matter how fast that thing ran, it couldn't be so fast without a shadow, right?
After the meadow, comes the next palace.
The difference in that palace was that there was no obvious main entrance, but a dozen small doors of the same size were open.
When Wang Li was still thinking about where that thing had gone, he heard a small door open and a young man rushed out.
"There are still living people here?" Wang Li was taken aback.
After a closer look, he realized that it was just a thin "human cadre". Judging by the clothes, it was a eunuch. That is, the common "eunuchs" in later generations.
The eunuch raised his knife and rushed straight at Wang Li to kill, Wang Li didn't make a ruling, and with a wave of his hand, the disturbance brought out by the spiritual power had already thrown the eunuch out in an instant, and he fell far away on a wall in the distance.
Then, the second door opened, and a second eunuch rushed out.
Wang Li looked at the spiritual smoke beside him and said with a smile: "This is not as good as those Confucian students, can you come?" ”
Lingyan nodded, summoning the Crawltipede.
The centipede slashed across the grass in an instant, entangled the second eunuch, and after a sound of "gaba" bones shattering, the eunuch went limp.
Third, fourth...... Every door opened one by one, and the eunuchs streamed out. However, all of them were solved by the centipede on the grass, and there was no chance to come to Wang Li and Lingyan at all.
The two of them were a little bored, and they didn't know how many eunuchs were hidden in this palace. In short, soon the grass in front of the palace was covered with the corpses of these eunuchs. Then no new eunuchs appeared through the door.
"Let's go inside." Wang Li greeted with a spiritual smoke and walked towards the palace.
When you open the door, you can see that this palace is full of all kinds of torture instruments. Wang Li and Lingyan dodged the iron rings and chains that swung overhead, bypassing the wooden beds below, and were able to move on.
In the middle of the palace is a desk with several bamboo slips on it. Wang Li stepped forward to look at it, and immediately understood the role of those "torture tools".
"No wonder there are so many eunuchs."
Wang Li sighed in his heart, but he didn't dare to explain this matter to Lingyan, so he could only put down the bamboo slip in his hand, go out of the door next to the case, and continue to walk inside.
The next place to enter was not another palace, but a passage in that palace, separated by several small rooms. Wang Li looked at it, these rooms were the real places where the lynching took place. In some rooms, there were also prisoners hanging from torture equipment, which had rotted into white bones.
However, Wang Li is a little strange, does this imperial mausoleum underground palace have to completely reproduce the scene in the original "above-ground palace"?
Soon, Wang Li had the answer.
Because as soon as he left the third palace, Wang Li saw a thin man standing in the distance. In his arms, he held a small pet, and he couldn't tell whether it was a mouse or a weasel.
That person, according to Wang Li's judgment, should be the boss of these eunuchs. That is, the "chief eunuch" beside the emperor in the future.
While he was thinking wildly, the person on the other side spoke: "Who are you?" Why did you break into the Imperial Tomb? ”
Wang Li didn't know how to answer, so he could only keep his mouth shut and see what the other party did.
Seeing that Wang Li didn't answer him, the man stretched out his hand and patted the head of the little mouse in his arms, and a gray shadow flashed in the air, heading straight for Wang Li's door.
Wang Li stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him, and a colored barrier appeared in front of him. The gray shadow instantly slammed into the barrier and was bounced out. But without a pause, the gray shadow drew a strange arc in the air, rushing towards Wang Li from the other side.
Wang Li looked at the direction and grabbed the gray shadow.
The gray shadow was grabbed by Wang Li in his hand, and suddenly accelerated, Wang Li instantly grabbed the air, letting the little guy slip away from his hand.
The gray shadow struck quickly again, and Wang Li couldn't hit it, and it was not appropriate not to fight, so he could only slap it out. The gray shadow was swept away by Wang Li's palm, flicked on the ground, and then flew in a tricky direction.
Wang Li watched this small and fast little guy persistently attack him, but it couldn't hurt himself, and it was difficult for him to slap him to death, and his head suddenly became big.
After a moment of stalemate, the eunuch leader standing in the distance suddenly whistled, and the gray shadow instantly changed its target and attacked the unsuspecting Spirit Smoke.
Wang Li was free and rushed to the eunuch leader who was standing in the distance.
Wang Li smashed a punch into the chest of the eunuch leader, this punch brought Wang Li to accumulate anger for a long time, and the punch was urgent and ruthless, hoping to kill the opponent with one punch.
The eunuch leader looked at the punches that came at him, but he still stood quietly, as if there was nothing to touch him. When the fist was about to land on his chest, the direction in which he was standing suddenly changed ninety degrees, dodged Wang Li's fist, stretched out into a claw, and grabbed Wang Li's arm.
Only then did Wang Li notice that the eunuch leader's palm was thin and slender, covered with blue-purple blood vessels, faintly glowing.
The damage of this scratch will definitely not be small. But Wang Li relied on his cultivation and instantly filled his arm with spiritual power, forming a layer of protection, and then took advantage of the situation to swing his fist to the side.
The palm of the eunuch leader grabbed Wang Li's arm, and that grasp was really powerful. The blue-purple blood vessels burst out, and the huge pressure instantly made the spiritual power protection infused by Wang Li on his arm change color, and even broke through the defense on his arm, and his nails even scratched Wang Li's clothes, leaving a shallow scar on his arm.
Of course, Wang Li's fist also hit the eunuch leader in the chest with great force. The tremendous force instantly dented his chest, and then flew out, knocking down a rockery of tables and chairs in the courtyard.
Wang Li didn't give the other party a chance to react, so he chased after him, stepped on the opponent's head, and stepped down hard, stomping his head to pieces.
After waiting for a while to make sure that this guy would not be resurrected, Wang Li turned around and looked at Lingyan.
Spirit Smoke also settled the battle at this time. The big gray mouse was already lying on the ground, and the millipede centipede was hovering beside Lingyan, but Lingyan's face did not have the joy of victory.
Wang Li walked over, looked at Lingyan's languishing appearance, and teased her: "What? Hitting a mouse makes you tired like this? ”
Lingyan said with a sad face, "I was bitten by that thing. ”
"You're so careless?"
"I didn't pay attention at the time, it's small and fast." Lingyan glanced at Wang Li's sleeve, "Aren't you also injured by that dead eunuch!" ”
Wang Li looked at the wound on his arm, but it was faintly cut through a wound of less than five centimeters, and even the blood was not obvious.
"I shouldn't have a problem." He looked at Lingyan's injured shoulder again, because of the cover of his clothes, he couldn't see the appearance of the wound, so he could only speculate, "So little guy, it's okay to bite you, right?" ”
"I may have been poisoned." Lingyan's face was obviously not good, and his originally beautiful complexion looked gray.
"Aren't you a big expert in using drugs? I believe that this is not a problem for you. ”
After Wang Li finished saying this, he felt that it seemed a little inappropriate, so he added: "Why don't we rest for a while and wait until you detoxify before leaving." ”
Lingyan shook his head: "No, I just feel a little weak now, and the spiritual power is slowing down, so let's keep walking." ”
"Hmm. Well, feel free to ask questions. Wang Li didn't want to waste too much time, so he and Lingyan continued to move forward.
The two then moved on to the next palace.
As soon as you enter the palace, a wave of heat hits your face. Wang Li looked forward and saw that in the dark palace, the space was huge, and the sporadic firelight extended into the distance on both sides of the road.
The two of them made their way through the firelight, and soon saw that two huge beasts were blocking their way, one left and one right.
Wang Li knew that the spiritual smoke was poisoned, and after taking care of her, he stepped forward to quickly deal with the two strange beasts that stood in the way.
He drew his verdict, and by the time the beast had just noticed someone coming, it had quickly reached the side of a beast. The ruling was waved, and before the beast could react, it was cut in half by Wang Li.
The other beast had already discovered Wang Li at this time, and with a roar, it pounced on him. Wang Li dodged the claws of the alien beast, turned sideways, and an arc of light flew straight towards the belly of the alien beast.
The moment the blood splattered, the beast turned its direction in anger and pounced on Wang Li again.
Wang Li clasped the ruling with both hands, and when the alien beast pounced on top of his head, he suddenly stabbed the ruling upwards with force, stabbing the alien beast's jaw to the top of its head. Wang Li dodged to the side, and the beast immediately fell to the ground.
After dealing with the two strange beasts, Wang Li felt that he was already sweating profusely. This made Wang Li a little strange, because the intensity of this kind of battle was simply not worth mentioning, but he felt that the temperature in the air was getting higher and higher.
Wang Li looked at the scene in front of him and understood.
Behind the path guarded by the alien beasts, there was a suspension bridge not far away, and beneath the suspension bridge was tumbling magma. No wonder the temperature is so high here.
Wang Li looked back at Lingyan, her face was also hot and crimson, and she seemed to be even weaker.
"Are you alright?" Wang Li turned around and asked.
Lingyan shook his head: "It's okay, keep walking." ”
After Wang Li told Lingyan to be careful, he took the lead in stepping on the suspension bridge connecting the two sides.
The drawbridge is wobbly, and it seems to be decaying, and it is in danger of collapsing at any moment. Wang Li himself is okay to say, the current appearance of Lingyan, he is really not sure if something will happen.
