Chapter 115: The Imperial Capital, the Water Prison Recalled
Audible and invisible, in the space of imagination, emotions are infinitely amplified.
Even if he knew that Peng Xiu was strong, he didn't delay the worry of Rikage hearing the clanging sound of fighting and hearing the roar of the beast. He wanted to get out of his current predicament immediately. He wanted to use the Hidden Blade as a slot in the wall as a support point and climb up.
The distance between Sun Ying and his standing distance was about five meters away from the corridor where Peng Xiu was, although it was not particularly high, but the requirements for physical strength were undoubtedly extremely high. If he hadn't been in a cage by Carmel for so many days, he would have been confident, not to mention using a Hidden Blade, even with his bare hands, he would have believed that he could do it. But at this time, Sunkage saw that his fingertips were still bleeding, and he was helpless.
But he's not one to give up easily, and once he's decided, he's going to try. The Hidden Blade is slammed straight into the wall, and it is not easy to carve out a groove that is large enough to support your weight, especially when your feet are barely balanced, and you need to hit it with one hit.
Sunshadow frowned slightly, and his Hidden Blade was unleashed, stabbing the wall at his shoulder. The tip of the Hidden Blade instantly sank into the wall, and Sunshadow strengthened it a few more points. Hang yourself with one hand, step on the wall, and hook up the other Hidden Blade. Delicately maintain the coordination of this body movement to ensure that it does not fall off.
Just as Sunshadow lowered his head to hook the Hidden Blade, a brown object appeared in front of his eyes. It was a rope that came down from the sky. The Shadow of the Sun hurriedly looked up.
Sure enough, Peng Xiu was at the entrance of the cave, holding one end of the rope in his hand.
"Little Shadow!" Peng Xiu shouted.
Sunshadow hurriedly put away the hooked Hidden Blade, pulling the rope with one hand, and pulling out the Hidden Blade that had been stuck in the wall with the other. After a while, he finally returned to the top of the road.
At this time, Peng Xiu's image turned out to be a little messy, without his usual freshness and chic, his clothes were torn, and his face was slightly colorful.
"Hugh, are you alright? "This time it was Nikkage's turn to ask Peng Xiu.
"Well, I'm fine. These are minor issues. Peng Xiu said as he picked up the sword he had thrown aside to save Sunshadow, and shook the blood on it. "It's a lot more problematic than mine. β
"What is it?" asked Sunshadow, who couldn't see clearly below, as he asked Peng Xiu, who was fighting with it.
"I don't know. Like a man but not a man, like a beast but not a beast. It doesn't seem to be targeting me, it's you. It went back and forth with me several times, and when it saw that it couldn't defeat me, and was stabbed by me a few times, and you weren't on it, it looked at the hole several times in a row and gave up and left. β
Peng Xiu said it lightly, but looking at the mess on Peng Xiu's body, the danger is not strict.
What's even more speechless may be that the attention of both sides of the battle is not on each other, both are on the Sun Shadow below, and the purpose of the monster is not discussed, but Peng Xiu is bent on saving Sun Shadow quickly. Even if he has an advantage, he doesn't love fighting, and he doesn't even have time to throw his sword on the ground.
Now both of them are hanging lottery. Even if it's a small injury, it's still a wound. And the image is a little embarrassed. Sun Shadow and Peng Xiu looked at each other, their eyes less serious, but with a somewhat relaxed smile.
"If those bastards saw it, they thought we were going through some kind of big war. As a result you fell into the hole, and I was pounced on by wild beasts. They'd die laughing if they knew. Of course, for the sake of his image in the hearts of those guys, he would definitely not say it. As for the Sun Shadow Braised Chicken, he believes that it will not.
"I'm sure they wouldn't dare. Sun Ying raised his eyebrows, he knew that group of people very well, he was afraid that Peng Xiu would be like a mouse seeing a cat, not to mention, seeing them like this, their first reaction would not be to laugh, they would definitely want to set foot here.
"That's its blood. Sunshadow said, looking at the blood on the ground. The blood dripped all the way into the deeper and deeper tunnels.
The two tacitly began to search for the bloodstains, which were better than the map of the Shadow Man. Not only did it directly indicate the direction, but it even helped to avoid some of the traps, and the bloodstains that went straight suddenly took a turn, and most of the time there were traps on the ground that needed to be avoided.
After a while, Peng Xiu and Sun Shadow had already walked to the deepest and most central area marked by the Black Shadow Man. That's the end of the Men in Black's map. It was probably because he never made it to this area that he was defeated by the monster.
As for the bloodstains that reached this area, they could not be detected. The blood stains had become rather messy, and a large part of them had been diluted by the water stains that had appeared. Just when the two wondered how there were water stains, they immediately ushered in the answer.
At the end of a bend in the corridor, a slightly wider space appeared, and in this space another new entrance appeared.
An opaque stream of water mixed with the smell of blood began to pour into the area from somewhere, converging from a thin stream winding to the center, merging into a half-meter-wide stream in front of the new entrance, and merging into the new entrance.
The new entrance is made up of a new wall extending from the base of the left and right walls, which is combined into a monolithic semicircle, but it happens to leave a half-meter passage entrance in the center, which is also the place where the creek joins.
"Water dungeon?" Sunshadow speculated.
"It's possible, but the water isn't deep here, and the conditions for making a water prison are not sufficient. I don't know how it will be when you import it. But ......," Peng Xiu said with a frown. "I rarely see a water dungeon made out of living water. Living water is no better than stagnant water, and even if it is not nourished, there will be living things in it. Any unforeseen circumstance can arise. β
Sunshadow looked at the stream, the water was muddy and dark, with no bottom visible, and it was possible to raise some inexplicable creatures, and as a lair of monsters in the depths of the labyrinth, it might also provide self-sufficient food, killing two birds with one stone. As he thought so, he saw something darker, slightly blocking some of the water.
"Hugh, look. The shadow of the sun pointed to Peng Xiu.
The two of them made a careful observation and found that there was actually a road in this water flow, and the stone piers with the same spacing were invisible under the turbid water flow, leading to a new direction.
Peng Xiu and Sun Shadow no longer hesitated whether there were other creatures in the water at this time, but stepped directly onto the stone pier and headed inside. The water soaked their feet and trouser legs, and they didn't care at all.
The new entrance is divided into two directions, left and right, and the semi-circular wall looks like the outside looks. At this point, while separating saves time in searching, the risk increases exponentially.
"Suddenly I think we should take those bastards with us. Peng Xiu sighed in the face of the maze of Ruth, who didn't know how many detours.
The deputy study of Peng Xiu's mansion.
Pander to... sneeze
A flurry of sneezes interrupted the silence and seriousness of the room.
They looked at each other, who called them collectively?
"I don't think the boss is calling me. Miga was the first to speak.
"I don't think so. Mi Jian also said. Miga and Mi Jian are twins after all, and although their IQs are inconsistent, they still feel unified.
The others did not object, nor did they speak. That's an uncertain doubt.
"So what now?" asked Melson, frowning. "The boss is not here. β
"Isn't it better if the boss isn't there, do you want the boss to know that he's back? Mott said angrily.
"Who are you talking about?" asked Miga heartlessly.
"Idiot!" Mi Jian's burst of chestnuts did not hesitate, and appeared without exception. But this time it wasn't a joking look, but a rare seriousness.
Miga's attitude became serious at this time, and the expressions of the other people were indeed very serious without exception. Only then did I realize the seriousness of the problem.
"Is that him?" asked Miga with a bitter face at this time, and sure enough, he saw his brother nodding, and his body even trembled slightly when he saw this.
The nightmare of their mercenary group is the one who used to be in the place that Sunshadow is now taking over.
"Let's just get rid of him. Mi Jian proposed.
"He hasn't been found there yet. He had just returned, and he hadn't returned to the family yet. And ......" Robert said halfway through, not going on.
"And even if we go to kill him, we won't necessarily be his opponents. Mott was unceremoniously telling the truth.
"The only one who can deal with him is the boss. But I really don't want the boss to face him again. I'm afraid ......" Melson was halfway through his words, gritting his teeth, and he couldn't say the second half of the sentence. It was a past that I didn't want to recall.
"No, it won't. This time, the boss won't be merciful. And there is Brother Ying. What Mi Jian said at this time was not like ordinary nonsense, but hit the hearts of several people.
"Yes. Melson's frown relaxed. "I didn't even think of that. It was thought of by you, a single-celled animal. He slapped Miga's shoulder with a relaxed force, but slapped away the hand of Miga's left lower arm, which Miga's right hand was holding tightly, revealing a deep scar that extended from his upper arm to his lower arm. Seeing the horror of the scar, you can guess how deep the injury was back then, and you can imagine the pain of removing the flesh and bones, and there is still a slight tremor at this time. Melson lowered his brow and furrowed again.
"Alright, alright. This time, Morton, the matter of letting go of the wind, is just a gift from him to meet us. You're scared like this, how do you face what is next? What's more, Miga is right, this time Xiaoying is here. He's the one who can influence the boss's decisions, and this time we won't face what happened last time. Robert saw the low morale and said encouragingly.
"Shall you tell them when they come back?" asked Melson.
"It's impossible to hide it from the two of them. It's just that Brother Ying doesn't know anything, he doesn't know the past. Mott reminded.
"Well, when the time is ripe, or when Morton's matter is over, let's talk to Xiaoying alone. Robert proposed.
Robert saw the crowd nodding.
Unconsciously, it turned out that Sun Ying had truly become their second central existence in addition to Peng Xiu, and it had become an existence that they trusted very much, as if his existence had made those difficult pasts easier.
"Then should we go and pick up the two of us first?" Miga made another constructive proposal. He still remembers that sneeze.
Finally embarking on the journey to the imperial capital of the Purple Kite Empire did not make Yulia a little happier.
She wanted to meet Peng Xiu and Sun Shadow, but she didn't want to experience the feeling of losing her freedom again. There were more than 100 people in front and behind, surrounding her and the carriage in the middle, and she was denied a request to ride.
The captain of the ceremonial team brought out the rules and regulations of the Bright Holy Court, and brought out his loyalty to the Bright Holy Court. And as the most famous candidate saintess of the Bright Holy Court, as an idol-like existence of the Bright Sect, she also needs to pay attention to her image.
She's an extremely intelligent being, and she knows how to behave in front of whom. She knew that the captain of the ceremonial team would refuse, but she still pretended to be a naΓ―ve girl, and asked about the time of the Yi's attempt. Although the expectation is real. But after refusing, he didn't ask for it anymore and obediently returned to the carriage.
The captain of the ceremonial team looked extremely guilty behind her. He even swore secretly that he would not refuse any other request from the beautiful and noble Saintess, and his sworn hand touched his chest, which seemed to be his heart pinched. I thought about another thing, something else that happened when they were bored waiting for the return of the saint. He had almost forgotten.
"Your Highness. I have one more thing to tell you. The captain of the ceremonial team stood by the carriage window and said respectfully.
"What's the matter? Yulia asked softly in a beautiful voice.
The captain of the ceremonial team was once again intoxicated, but still said respectfully. "A few days before you left, we met people from the direction of the Imperial Capital who were about to go to the Holy Court of Light. It was they who stopped and asked when they saw our team. They are the people of the Bishop of Morton of the Purple Kite Empire, and after learning that we are the leader of the team preparing to go to the imperial capital, they are very happy to hand me a letter, saying that they want you to check it. After speaking, the captain of the ceremonial team respectfully handed over a black envelope.
Linghua immediately took the letter and forwarded it to Yulia.
"I know. Thank you for your hard work. Yulia said politely.
The captain of the ceremonial team was a little more respectful, and he retreated.
"Miss, how does this Morton know that you are going to the imperial capital. Didn't it happen all of a sudden? We all jumped at the time. Linghua, as Yulia's attendant, was also sitting in the wide carriage, and asked when she saw Yulia opening the letter.
"It's not written to me, but it can be written to me. Yulia replied, opening the letter and reading it.
Linghua didn't understand what Yulia meant and wanted to ask again, but when she saw that Yulia was reading the letter, she didn't dare to speak, so she silently added a cup of afternoon tea to Yulia. There was everything in the wide carriage, and she didn't really understand why Yulia wanted to go to the hard ride.
Yulia read the letter quickly, a smile on the corner of her mouth, and things were as interesting as she expected. She took her afternoon tea and took a sip elegantly, and by the way, she saw Linghua's puzzled but didn't dare to ask questions casually when she read the letter. She closed the letter and handed it to Linghua. This will be the starting point for Reika's next mission.
"This is strictly a distress letter to His Majesty. But Morton knew very well in his heart that even if the letter was marked as written on the crown, the crown did not know when it would be read. And if it is really written that it is a letter from His Majesty, no one dares to move it except His Crown. If that were the case, his pleas for help would be null and void nine times out of ten. He hoped that the people in the Holy Court of Light who saw this letter would be able to report the matter directly to His Majesty. Of course, according to his status, this is possible. Next, as he wished, the Holy Court of Light would send a delegation to the imperial capital to investigate the matter thoroughly, and in the absence of any major negligence or unforgivable sin, the mission would definitely do its best to protect his reputation and maintain his position, and his crisis would be over. As for the Mission, the most they could expect was an elder or a high-ranking cardinal. But now that they have met my team and learned that we are going to the imperial capital of the Purple Kite Empire, do they have a better candidate for the mission than me?" Yulia said with some disdain for Morton.
"Oh, no wonder, you say it's not for you, it can be written for you. That's true, and I think they're having fun now. The leader of the mission is you, and it's really Morton's luck. β
Is it really a big luck? A sneer appeared on Yulia's small and delicate lips.
They may regret it until they die, why they gave her the letter today. Hehe.
