Fang Zhentao waved his hand down, and more than a dozen Kunlun disciples behind him pulled the iron chain that opened the mechanism together.

With the pull of the iron chain, the sound of the arcades grinding against each other came from the ground. "Squeak squeak", rusty chains are pulled out of the ground meter by meter. The iron chain became slower and slower, one foot at a time, inch by inch, and the hands of the last dozen or so Kunlun disciples shook at the same time, and they couldn't pull a single inch anymore after holding back their strength.

Thundered!

A dull loud bang suddenly came from deep underground. The sound was strange and extraordinary, wave after wave, from the soles of the feet to the top of the head. The sound is everywhere, making the scalp tingle.

More than a dozen Kunlun disciples were so frightened that they threw away the chains at the same time. Not only people, but also the horses of Shang Tianhua and others were also frightened by the loud noise and stopped moving. No matter how much the knights pushed, they couldn't make them take a step forward.

For this trip, the horses they rode were all one of the best horses in a hundred, and several of them lived and died with their owners many times. But at this time, the horses, without exception, were frightened and neighed. What's more, one or two of the horses tried to throw the rider under the horse.

"Dismount and walk. Shang Tianhua ordered calmly. They had come from thousands of miles away, and they could not be startled back by an unknown noise.

The riders dismounted at their orders. Suddenly, a young man in the team exclaimed, and the red, brown and white-hoofed Dawan horse he was riding took the opportunity to break free and abandon the master and flee.

Shang Tianhua swept his cold eyes at the young man who had lost his war horse, and ordered sternly: "Cheng Qingxie, you stay and watch the horse!"

Cheng Qingxie took the reins from everyone's hands with a look of shame. Just now, he was also shocked by a loud noise in the ground, and when he was suspicious, he actually let the horse escape. This was a great shame for him who had made a meritorious service, and the hall master did not let him participate in the battle, which added to his shame. Only by keeping the horses in good condition can he save the last bit of face.

"Proceed with caution and take your time in a formation. Although Shang Tianhua is fearless, he is not aggressive. He removed his weapon, the Golden Nail Zao Yang Lance, from his horse and waved his hand. The other six men each took their weapons, faced each other, and dispersed behind him in a cone, gradually moving forward.

Everyone walked cautiously for dozens of steps, and although the loud noise in the ground did not stop, there was no abnormality. The rumble was still there, but the experienced people were quickly getting used to it. Jiang Tao even suspected that this loud noise was just a suspicious array of people beating drums vigorously in the underground cave.

However, his idea was soon replaced by the same screams from the left and right. Ding Tingjie and Sun Mulei, who were walking at the end of the team, suddenly disappeared.

Looking closely, a bottomless ice cave several feet wide appeared in the place where the two of them were.

Just when everyone was in shock, there was a very loud sound of drumming and shouting from the mountainside. The Kunlun disciples woke up from the shock and couldn't help but applaud in unison when they saw that someone on the enemy side had fallen into the ice cave.

Fang Zhentao never expected that Qiao Zhiye's array would have such momentum. He immediately increased his confidence, and shouted at his opponent with a loud laugh: "You only have this ability, and you still want to attack the mountain, if you don't want to die, go back quickly!" His taunt echoed the loud underground noise and the drumming of the disciples, and the momentum was unprecedented.

"Don't move!" Shang Tianhua sighed, without any panic.

"Rope. He stretched out his hand, and Ma Chengji, who was behind him, immediately threw the rope on his back to him.

They came prepared for the trip. It has long been discovered that there are ice caves all over the Kunlun snow, so the "Jade Hand Goddess" Du Xian Xian has been specially invited to create several ropes that are ten zhang long. The rope made by the "Jade Hand Goddess" is extraordinary, and it is a silk rope mixed with several strands of extremely fine gold wires. This rope is only the thickness of an ordinary person's thumb, but it is extremely flexible and strong, and can bear the strength of 10,000 catties.

Shang Tianhua came to the edge of the cave steadily and threw the golden rope of the silkworm into the hole. The lower end of the rope was quickly tightened by Ding Tingjie, who had fallen into the hole. He jerked it several times, pulling it out of the ice cave.

Shang Tianhua collected the rope and went to another hole, and threw the golden rope of the silkworm into it according to the law. Unexpectedly, what Sun Mulei fell into was not an ordinary trap, but a serial hole between son and mother.

The so-called child-mother chain hole is composed of large and small double holes. The big ice cave that caused people to fall at first is called the mother cave, and the mother cave has a slope several feet long after a few zhang down, and after the slope, it is a slightly smaller sub-hole. It is not easy to rescue someone from the serial hole of the mother and child. Because the rope is soft and light, after being thrown from the mother hole, it will accumulate on the slope and cannot fall smoothly into the sub-hole.

Shang Tianhua stared down and found out the situation. After thinking for a while, he condensed his strength on the rope, and the golden rope of the Silkworm immediately straightened up like a club. He was skillful, and after several tests, he finally probed the Silkworm Golden Rope into the sub-cave and dragged Sun Mulei out of the hole.

The ice cave in Kunlun is composed of perennial cold ice, the temperature in the cave is extremely low, and the ice cave under the main peak has lasted for thousands of years, and the ice is biting.

After Sun Mulei and Ding Tingjie came out of the cave, they immediately sat cross-legged to resist the cold. Ding Tingjie has not been in the cave for a long time, except that his head and body are covered with snow and ice, his complexion is fine. Although Sun Mulei has been in the cave for a long time, he is the strongest person in the team, and his endurance is quite strong, except for the cold and purple on his face, he has not been eroded by the cold. However, when the two of them finished pranayama and wanted to get up, they all sat down with a "plop".

Shang Tianhua stepped forward to inspect and found that Ding Tingjie's right leg bone had been broken, and Sun Mulei had sprained his waist.

Seeing this, everyone put away their contempt. Jiang Tao secretly thought in his heart, it turned out that this loud underground noise was designed to disturb his mind. When people panic, they will make mistakes and fall into the hole.

Shang Tianhua frowned slightly, then returned to normal, and gave orders to Ding and Sun: "You two stay where you are for the time being." He turned his head to the thinnest man in the team and ordered: "Liu Baizu, you have the best light skills, explore the way ahead." ”

"Hall Master, I can do it!" Ding Tingjie stepped forward and shouted, gritting his teeth and slowly standing up from the ground.

Sun Mulei couldn't stand up due to a back injury, and he couldn't help but be so angry that his head was smoking. He shouted at Fang Zhentao on the mountain: "There is a kind of you coming down to fight with Lao Tzu." What kind of hero is it to make these obscene ghost things hurt people!"

Fang Zhentao stood on the mountainside, and said with a smile: "Little Senior Sister Fang Cai has been kind enough to persuade that there is a large mountain protection array here, but you insist on breaking into the mountain." How can you blame us for reaping the consequences of our own evil now? I would like to advise you once again that the Junior Senior Sister's mountain protection array has never been broken since it was built. You should find out as soon as possible, so that you will not be buried on the mountain for no apparent reason. ”

Shang Tianhua ignored Fang Zhentao's words, and said indifferently to Sun and Ding: "The current Kunlun Wumen is just an empty door, and only that little senior sister can support the overall situation, so they use some despicable tricks. To deal with such unpopular characters, you can't use so many horses. You two rest here first, don't be rash. ”

Ma Chengji had the best relationship with Ding Tingjie, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Xiao Ding, you just listen to the order of the hall master and watch the battle for the time being." Wait until I capture that despicable little sister and make you angry. ”

Ding Tingjie was silent, and his eyes were full of hatred.

Jiang Tao offered a plan: "Hall Master, I'm afraid there are a lot of holes in this snow. The subordinates thought that we could use a rope to connect everyone, so that even if someone accidentally fell into the hole, others could be rescued immediately. ”

Shang Tianhua nodded in approval and ordered: "Arrange a longitudinal column, separate five steps, and follow the footprints of the predecessors." ”

"Yes!" everyone led in unison, and tied the golden rope of the silkworm around their waists.

Liu Baizu was exploring the way in front, Shang Tianhua was second, followed by the black-faced young man Ma Chengji and the long-haired middle-aged Liu Haisuan, and Jiang Tao was in the last formation.

The five-man column moved forward, encountering several holes along the way. The further back you go, the more types of trap holes, in addition to the chain of children and mothers, there are also large and small shape holes, square hollow holes, five-petal plum blossom holes, etc., it can be described as full of tricks, dizzying. But no matter what kind of strange trap it is, it was easily broken by Jiang Tao's trick.

The five people echoed from head to end, except for Liu Hai, who had the weakest light skills, most of his body fell into the hole, and was immediately pulled up without danger, the rest of the people took care of each other, even if they stepped on the hole, they never fell off their knees.

The roar of the ground was still ringing, but the drumming on the mountainside had slowed down until it was silent. Jiang Tao had no displeasure in his heart, even if you dug holes all over the mountains, there was nothing you could do when you encountered my golden lock method.

Several holes were destroyed one after another, and Shang Tianhua's originally low morale was lifted again. Seeing that there were still a few steps to come to the main road of mountaineering, Liu Baizu couldn't help but speed up his pace.

"Wait!" Shang Tianhua, who was following him, suddenly stopped and stood up, a hint of bad omen crossed his heart.

As soon as he finished speaking, he could hear "whoosh!" Several times, several huge ice picks hanging upside down above the mountain road, as thick as an arm, suddenly fell diagonally and shot towards the top of Liu Baizu's head.

At this time, due to Liu Baizu's fast movement and Shang Tianhua's sudden stop, the ropes on the two of them had been straightened. Liu Baizu couldn't dodge left and right, so he had to retreat backwards.

The icicle was very ferocious, and Liu Baizu was very good at light work, and he retreated extremely quickly. But he forgot that he was only a few steps away from Shang Tianhua. As soon as he retreated, he crashed into Shang Tianhua.

Shang Tianhua saw that Liu Baizu and the ice pick were hitting him almost at the same time, and he was not in a hurry. He pushed Liu Baizu aside with his left hand, and lifted his strength with his right hand to block the ice pick.

The ice pick intersected with the lance, making a crisp sound of "dangdang dang", and then shattered to the ground.

Let's say that Liu Baizu was pulled to the side of the road by Shang Tianhua, and suddenly felt that his feet sank, and his body fell straight down. He had a bad heart, and he knew that he had stepped on a hole. Fortunately, he had excellent light skills, and with a breath of unfinished breath, he immediately rushed forward.

Unexpectedly, this time he stepped on not a hole, but a long hole. The trap road is set up along the mountain road, and it is covered with floating snow. He stepped on it, and the horse fell again. Liu Baizu is known as a hundred feet, and light work has its own uniqueness. He kicked against the wall of the trap, trying to climb the wall.

At this moment, there was a sudden roar on the top of the mountain, and a huge stone ball that was one person high rolled down the trap! Liu Baizufang poked his head out of the trap and was hit by the stone ball. His eyes went dark, and he fell into the trap again.

At this moment, Shang Tianhua had just shattered the ice pick, but his body was dragged by Liu Baizu and the stone ball to tilt towards the trap. Seeing the stone ball hitting his front door, in his busy schedule, he poked the lance obliquely on the outside of the trap with both hands, and then sank into his legs and waist to block the falling of the stone ball.

The stone ball carried a huge momentum and pressed heavily on Shang Tianhua's long lance, which was concave backwards like a curved bow. Shang Tianhua's arms muscles bulged and competed with it.

After the stone ball bounced several times, it finally stopped.

"Open!" Shang Tianhua shouted lowly, and his eyes were full of light.

Several cracks gradually appeared on the stone ball. There was a muffled "bang", and the huge stone ball was scattered by one of his long lances. For a time, the stone ball was broken down into countless pieces, and the rubble was splashed everywhere, and the debris and sand flew.

Shang Tianhua exhaled a breath of turbid air, and was about to breathe and breathe, when he suddenly felt a strange wind in front of him. When he looked up, he couldn't help but tear his eyes: there were several more identical stone balls on the top of the mountain, rolling down the trap one after another!

His mind was racing rapidly, and after he smashed a stone ball, he still felt that his strength was weak, and his chest was abnormally tight. If these stone balls fell together, he would definitely not be able to stop them. And the skills of the latter three people are not as good as him, and they are not spared.

Could it be that the whole army is going to be annihilated here?" There was a flash of fierceness in his eyes, and he slashed back at the rope that connected him to him, and shrank into the trap.
