Chapter 47: The General Altar
"Sure enough."
Chen Mu didn't have the slightest surprise in his heart at this time, he had already had a premonition that the Black Crow Sect wanted to make some big moves, but the other party's actions were indeed mad.
If you kidnap the entire outer city of millions of people, as a coercion and bargaining chip, it is indeed possible to force several major forces in the inner city to make certain concessions, after all, although the inner city lords are not surprised by a few lives in the city, but if it is the entire outer city, it is a completely different concept.
And this method is difficult to stop by pure force, even if it is the existence of easy tendons or even the forging bone level, it is impossible to completely strangle the gray-skinned rats that infest the entire outer city.
Xu Hongyu also realized the seriousness of the problem, and had no time to worry about the situation and institutions in the underground passage at the moment, so she had to strangle the delusions of the Black Crow Sect in the cradle before things got out of control.
Swish!
Xu Hongyu entered the underground passage first, and someone in the rear immediately followed with torches, followed by Min Baoyi and Chen Mu and a group of people from the Nine Cities Guard, and the group entered the passage in a mighty manner.
The passage was not particularly narrow, almost large enough for two people to walk side by side, but the entire passage was filled with a smell of corruption and blood, and after everyone rushed through quickly, some corpses soon appeared in the passage.
These were the Crow Cult members who had gone down to explore the passage before, and they had been hit by some sharp arrows.
Xu Hongyu only glanced at it hurriedly, then ignored it, and went all the way forward to kill, so after passing through for a while, two forks appeared in front of him, and Min Baoyi in the back immediately said: "On the left, on the right is a trap dead end." ”
This is also the time to probe people in the last half of the day.
With some of the underground conditions explored before, everyone avoided many traps in the tunnel, but because Xu Hongyu traveled fast, they soon came to a completely unfamiliar area.
Laugh at!!
I don't know what triggered, and there was a sudden sound of breaking the air in front of the passage, accompanied by a cold light.
"Beware!"
Someone reminded me loudly.
But Xu Hongyu, who was the leader, did not retreat, shook his hand, and the soft sword came out of its sheath, blooming a sword light in the narrow passage, like countless raindrops converging into a semicircular barrier.
I only heard a clanging sound of gold and iron, and all the incoming darts were shot down by Xu Hongyu.
There is an existence in the Yijin realm to open the way, and the ordinary traps are almost useless, whether it is darts and dark arrows, or some mechanisms that spray poisonous water and poisonous mist, many of them have been cut off by Xu Hongyu's sword before they are triggered, and even the poisonous water sprayed on the front can be stopped with almost drip-tight sword flowers, and they can be pushed all the way forward.
And so on for a while.
Finally.
A very spacious stone chamber appeared in front of it, and there were still some chaotic footprints in the stone chamber, apparently there were still people here just now, but all of them had been evacuated at this time.
In addition to the passage where everyone entered, there were four other forks in the stone chamber that led in different directions.
"This should already be near their main altar."
Min Baoyi spoke in a deep voice, he had been estimating the distance all the way over.
The four forks in the road have obvious miscellaneous footprints, apparently leading to different areas of the interior.
"Don't delay, divide the troops, and if there is resistance, kill them!"
Xu Hongyu spoke in a deep voice, her figure flashed, and she had rushed into the leftmost passage alone.
Xiaohe just wanted to say something, but when he saw that Xu Hongyu was gone, a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Xu Chasi, you take people to the second way, Min Chasi, you divide some people and take the third road." ”
The person who was called 'Xu Chasi' was the messenger of the general department, and Xu Hongyu's men, at this time, he answered, and immediately led the people behind him to rush into the second passage, and then Min Baoyi also looked behind him, and quickly said: "Wang Xian, Zhong Chang, you take people with me, Chen Mu, Qin Bei, you follow Adjutant He." ”
When the words fell, he led the people into the third passage.
Qin Bei obviously also knows Xiaohe's identity, not an adjutant, but Xu Hongyu's personal maid, Xu Hongyu's status is higher than Min Baoyi's, and her strength will not be weak, there is no objection to this, and Chen Mu has no doubt.
Xiao He also looked serious at this time, and with a wave of his hand, he took Qinbei Chen Mu and the others into the fourth passage, and after dozens of steps forward, the front suddenly opened up, but it was a dim prison.
Some scrawny, half-dead prisoners could be faintly seen moaning in the cell.
"I guess all the people who have gone missing in the past few months are here."
A thought flashed in Chen Mu's heart.
Although it is not clear what the Black Crow Sect is doing to capture these people, according to the scene in front of them, it is nothing more than using these people to cultivate that kind of gray-skinned rat, either drawing blood or something, or some other cruel means.
But just as Chen Mu's eyes swept over the cages one by one, trying to find familiar people in them, a sudden squeaky sound came, and soon it was continuous, converging into a rustling wind, which made people feel creepy.
The faces of the crowd changed instantly.
The gaze looked together into the depths of the prison in front of them.
But just as everyone's attention was focused on the prison, there was a sudden bang in the passage behind him, as if something heavy had fallen, accompanied by a muffled sound, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a large rock falling, blocking the way out.
Seeing this, some of the poor people immediately began to panic and confusion.
"Don't panic!"
Qin Bei and Chen Mu spoke at the same time.
The voices of the two were calm and powerful, and there was no panic.
Qin Bei has been an old poor man for many years, and he is also the only one who has mastered the sword momentum among the poor leaders of the City Health Division, except for Chen Mu, but now that he is over thirty-five years old, the quenching method stops at practicing meat Xiaocheng, and there is no further opportunity, and it is not enough to be promoted to the post of poor division, but in terms of strength, he is still the strongest one in the Jiutiao Li City Health Division except for Min Baoyi.
has the realm of meat training and the realm of sword strength, and it can be called a hundred battles, and it will naturally not panic in the face of changes in the situation.
Not to mention Chen Mu, strength is his greatest confidence, just like the previous channel, if he opens the way in front, he may not be able to push all the traps sideways like Xu Hongyu, but most of the traps are no threat to him.
Dressed in the skin of copper and steel, and even more proficient in meat, those hidden arrows are almost difficult to hurt, poisonous water and the like are basically difficult to damage, and the poisonous mist is tricky, but with his sword strength, he can also destroy the source of spraying before it spreads.
Even the traps in the tunnels pose little threat to him, let alone in such an open area.
The two messengers spoke at the same time, which immediately calmed down some of the errand officers who were in a panic behind, but Xiaohe did not make a sound, looking at Chen Mu and Qin Bei's reactions, a trace of approval flashed in his eyes.
Qin Bei is okay, after all, he is the old poor man in Jiutiao, his strength is not weak, and she knows the details very well, but Chen Mu can not be surprised at this age, which shows that his heart is calm, which is basically the same as Min Baoyi's evaluation.
In time,
He must be able to become a powerful subordinate.
If there is still a slight possibility, breaking through the shackles of Yi Jin and stepping into the third realm of quenching the body, it is expected to become Xu Hongyu's right-hand man, which is very important.
"That should be the so-called 'protector god' of the Black Crow Sect."
Xiaohe looked ahead and spoke slowly.
As the words fell, I saw that in the depths of the prison in front of me, a large number of gray-skinned mice poured out, large and small, the largest of which was almost twice as big as what Chen Mu had seen before, and it was no longer the size of ordinary mice.
The gray-skinned rats poured in like a tidal wave, flooding one prison cell after another, and the half-dead prisoners barely screamed before they were drowned out by them, accompanied by a creaking and gnawing sound.
