Chapter 49: Ambush
The city lord sat in the study, rubbing his fingers against the animal skin scroll, and said lightly without raising his head: "Since you are here, why don't you show up and see it?" ”
In the gazebo not far away, Wei Feng's hand that combed the dog was slightly paused, and he looked left and right, there seemed to be no one else nearby except him, was this talking to him?
But the distance between the two is dozens of zhang, the visibility is not more than one zhang, and you can't see the other end when you stand at this end of the study, what are you pretending to be?
Not understanding what stage play the city lord was playing, Wei Feng continued to comb the dog.
In the study, after the city lord said this, he quietly waited for a few breaths, and saw that there was no movement around, and the color of thought flashed in his eyes, haven't you come yet?
He was not in a hurry, he continued to look at the animal skin scroll, waited for a while, and then spoke again: "Since you are here, why don't you show up and see it?" ”
……
After repeating this a few times, the first thing that was not calm was Wei Feng, not because he was tired of watching the city lord's performance, but because the city lord looked at the animal skin scroll.
The effect of language proficiency skills is just like the name, you can only understand the language, and it is not effective for words, so when the city lord looked through the animal skin scroll, Wei Feng glanced at it and was not interested.
I can't read the words, but according to the picture next to it, I can see what kind of ritual it is, combined with what the city lord said before, it's probably the so-called sacrificial ceremony.
But as the city lord flipped the animal skin scroll from time to time, revealing the part hidden underneath, Wei Feng was able to see more of the content.
Although he didn't know what these words recorded, on the illustration on a certain page in the middle, Wei Feng saw a familiar pattern, which was a vortex.
If the accompanying pictures were depicted in real proportions, this vortex was larger than a person, which made it difficult for Wei Feng not to think of the kind of vortex portal they had when they entered this world.
With this astonishing discovery, Wei Feng turned his attention to the animal skin scroll, using illustrations to speculate on the story he wanted to depict.
There are few illustrials, the first of which depicts a number of small people placing the skulls of various beasts under a large stone statue;
The second depicts the statue glowing and enveloping everyone;
The third depicts a swirling portal beneath the statue, with several villains lining up to enter;
The fourth depicts several villains wrestling with beasts in circles, and more villains looking in the mirror;
The fifth depicts two villains stepping on a pile of beast bones, holding their spears aloft, and several vortex portals appearing not far away;
The sixth depicts many small people cutting down trees or hunting in the forest.
This is the content of all the illustrations on the animal skin scroll, Wei Feng has already guessed about this, and thinks in his heart, if he wants to go back, I am afraid he will have to watch this sacrificial ceremony......
Suddenly, Wei Feng's face changed, because there were two teams of people escorting the two of them into the city lord's mansion.
Wei Feng had previously shrouded the fog in the area of the City Lord's Mansion and the Inheritance Square in order to maintain a high concentration of mist and reduce consumption as much as possible, so he didn't know what the battle situation was on Wang Ping's side, and at this time, the two teams of men and horses entered the mist, and he found that Le and Fang had been captured.
After the two were escorted for a distance, three more people walked into the thick fog, namely Captain Zhang before, the burly man in the study, and Wang Ping.
Although the two of them sandwiched Wang Ping in the middle, the jealousy on their faces was even stronger, but Wang Ping walked with a knife and walked calmly, and those who didn't know thought they had come to his home field.
After entering the mist, Wang Ping looked at it for a while, and said expressionlessly: "I'm afraid that I will kill all of you in this environment, so I let them go in first." ”
The tone was neither salty nor light, and the two beside him glanced at each other, a trace of jealousy flashed in their eyes, but they did not open their mouths to refute.
They captured Le Daoyu and Fang Ziyuan, and forced Wang Ping to stop, even then they failed to force him to lay down his arms, but at least he had the opportunity to communicate, and the burly man expressed that he was not to blame for the trouble before a few people, and the city lord only had something to discuss with them, Wang Ping agreed to go with them for the sake of the hostages.
It's also very helpless to say, the pro-guards are all professionals whose level is greater than Lv20, but I didn't expect that ten dozen and one failed to suppress Wang Ping, plus Captain Zhang barely fought a draw, and it was the kind of danger that was full of dangers, and he was hacked to death by Wang Ping if he didn't pay attention to it.
It wasn't until the burly man brought people over to support him that Wang Ping was suppressed, giving them the opportunity to capture Le and Fang first.
There was a sudden fog in the city lord's mansion, and the visibility was too low, so in order to prevent Wang Ping from taking this opportunity to break out, they had to let the guards take the hostages and leave first.
Entering the mansion, the burly man gave Captain Zhang a look and left quickly, Wang Ping glanced at him and ignored it, and after a while, the man trotted into the study: "My lord, the three thieves have been brought, but they are just ......"
He told what had happened, and the city lord listened to it, thought for a moment, and ordered: "First take that person named Wang Ping to the martial arts arena." ”
After a pause, he beckoned to the burly man over there: "Come here with your ears"
The burly man did as he was told, and the city lord whispered a few words to him, explaining some arrangements.
Wei Feng, who was always staring at the city lord in the garden, pouted, this was an ambush for him, it didn't matter, anyway, he didn't plan to do it.
After the explanation was completed, the city lord let the burly man go down, but when the man just left the study door, the city lord explained loudly behind him: "Remember, the hostages should send more people to ensure that others can kill the hostages as soon as someone is killed." ”
The burly man turned around and clenched his fists: "Yes!" ”
The two of them said these two words in such a loud voice that even the guards not far away could hear them clearly.
After the burly man left, a trace of gloom flashed in the eyes of the city lord, and the person who created the thick fog never appeared, which made the hidden worries in his heart never dissipate, and he only hoped that this time he could lure that person out.
Thinking about the sacrificial ceremony in his heart, the city lord also got up from his seat and walked towards the martial arts arena, and the moment he left the study, a set of heavy armor suddenly appeared on his body.
Wei Feng was stunned from a distance, he hadn't obtained armor yet, and it seemed that he could also put it into the equipment space like a weapon and summon it when needed.
When the city lord came to the martial arts arena, only Wang Ping was left in the field, and the two teams of guards were scattered around the martial arts arena to wait, Wei Feng knew that there were still many guards in ambush on both sides of the martial arts arena, not to prepare to besiege Wang Ping, but to leave him a gift, although this gift was destined not to be delivered to Wei Feng's hands.
After meeting the city lord, the guards were interested in letting the Beastmaster hunter call him and understand the language.
The city lord walked to the middle of the field and stood still, keeping a distance from Wang Ping: "You are Wang Ping?" ”
Wang Ping carefully looked at the heavy armor wrapped around his body: "What about my companion?" ”
The city lord's face covered by armor was expressionless: "You and your companions killed a total of seventy-three guards and one personal guard in my punishment city, do you know how much resources and time it takes to cultivate these talents?" ”
Wang Ping's long knife raised slightly: "How long does it take to cultivate a city lord?" ”
"Arrogance!" The city lord's angry voice came: "Then let me see what qualifications you have." ”
As he spoke, he took the initiative to call Wang Ping, and when he waved his arm, a long sword and a shield appeared in his hands, and the thick and cold big sword glowed with cold light, and there was a loud whistling sound between swings.
At the same time as the attack, the [Guilty Mark] had already locked on Wang Ping.
