Chapter 117: Mysterious Ruins
Whether An Yi Roule was happy or not, she endured it, endured it all the way, and really couldn't find a reason to be this kid.
Along the way, Shangguan Yi was frantically trying the boundary line of death; Hua Xiangrong followed boringly, taking a look at the excitement by the way; Li Shi gave up leading the way and honestly let the professional come; others didn't dare to say more, and just followed like a group of younger brothers. Only at this time did they understand why Shangguan Yi dared to say that An Yirou was a hero, it was really this kind of posture of treating the predicament as nothing, leading the way as simple as eating and drinking, it was really handsome, so handsome that it exploded. An Yirou can find the next section of the road by almost observing the terrain a little, and there is no need to measure anything at all. In such a predicament, there is such a leader, of course, you will admire her very much, even if she is a woman, even if she is notorious, at least at this moment she is your hero.
The situation is finally on the right track, as originally thought, there is no need to worry about being stopped by the fog, Shangguan Yi is also relieved, and he pesters An Yirou even more to ask questions, and even ignores her eyes full of murderous intent.
This scene fell into the eyes of others, and the admiration for Shangguan Yi was like the water of the Jiujiang River, gushing endlessly. The strong woman is afraid of pestering men, in terms of the shamelessness of this brother, maybe she can really win the moon-sound charm pupil An Yirou, I'm afraid that when the time comes... They can also go out and brag about what it means to be invincible to those who are surprised and their eyeballs have fallen.
"Is there an accident?" Shangguan Yi quickly grasped a little of Anyirou's habit in this mode of death, so when she looked at Lu and frowned, Shangguan Yi could understand that there might be something wrong with the road behind.
"Well, it's a bit of a surprise, you go and call Master Li, and we'll talk about it a few times. An Yirou thought about it and made such a decision.
Shangguan Yi was shocked when he heard this, and then he went to find Master Li without hesitation, and then the four of them found another place to conspire.
"If there's an accident, please tell Miss An directly. Li Shi asked calmly, in fact, he was a little panicked, but he just didn't show it.
"This kind of formation is actually half the breath of life and death, and when I walked through the mountains in the past, there was almost no danger in the huge formation. Almost all the roads lead to the door of life, only this road leads to the door of death, where all the killing opportunities of this formation are gathered, how dangerous it is needless to say, just look at the scale of this formation you should know in your heart. But this time, according to the trend of the formation, I speculated that a few of the original life gates may have been blocked, but there is more life in the death door, and it may be the wisp of life you are looking for? But this is not necessarily a good thing, there are too many coincidences, I suggest you think twice, it's still too late to quit. An Yirou told her calculations and let Master Li handle it herself, anyway, it has nothing to do with her, she can hang it high.
"No matter how many coincidences there are, we have no other choice at all, we can't turn back and can't turn back, please continue to lead the way, if it's really dangerous, can you please wait for us outside for a while?" Li Shi said with an unchanged face, how could he not know that there were many coincidences? The fulfillment of the prophecy that has lasted so many years, the place that can only be explored when the fog dissipates, the "Lost Treasure Book" that bears the hopes of a clan but has never been recorded , all of this reveals the fact that there are hands behind them to control them, and even their clan may have been caused by his big means. But so what? It's not their desire to become marionettes, and if they don't want to die, they can only live in secret, and live according to that person's wishes. No one has such a bad taste, just to tease the juniors to put such a mind into arranging the situation, so he must have left a way for the guide to live. Master Li's task is to find this way of life and let the guide family live, which is the responsibility of the watchman.
An Yirou was silent for a moment and said, "I can wait, but not for long." ”
Li Shi was afraid that he would get something after nine deaths and a lifetime but would not be able to find a way to bring it back, so he hoped that An Yirou would wait for him. What An Yirou is afraid of is that as the formation disintegrates little by little, after the killing machine in the door of death leaks into the entire formation, every step will be very tricky, and the danger will be too great at that time, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out, so she will not wait too long.
"No problem, keep leading the way. Li Shi probably guessed An Yirou's thoughts, human nature, understandable.
The group set off again, still walking down the original road to the door of death, everything seemed to have not changed, only the momentum on Li Shi's body was getting stronger and stronger, and he was about to arrive at the place, could he not be excited?
"There seems to be someone up ahead. Shangguan Yi squinted his eyes and said with bad intentions. Who else can there be in the deep mountains and old forests? Don't say that you are lost, it is too coincidental that you can get lost here, right?
"It's Zhong Zhen's soldiers. It's just this number..."Li Shi looked at the object of Shangguan Yi's gaze, affirmed his identity, and then looked at the two people hesitantly, according to Zhong Zhen's military regulations, this is not in accordance with the rules, except for the two sentinels, there seems to be no one on the perimeter guard, doesn't this imply that something happened here?
"Let's go, go over and ask, you go and negotiate, ask what's going on, and by the way, test if there's anyone in there. Shangguan Yi said ruthlessly, his subtext was: go and ask what happened, if there were not many people inside, just do them, who let them block the way forward, if you don't kill them, do you leave witnesses for Zhong Zhen to catch his tail?
The 'you' here refers to Master Li, he should be very familiar with the people at the Zhongzhen Border Pass, and it would be better for him to communicate.
Li Shi didn't speculate anything, he thought so too, he had come to this point, not to mention a few isolated Zhongzhen soldiers, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu stood here and blocked the way, as long as he could kill him, he would not let him go.
Therefore, he walked out of the group, stood at the forefront, and led the group forward, and after some distance he had gone out, the two sentinels apparently spotted them as well, one stepped forward to stop them, and the other entered the open cave next to him, as if to report the situation.
"What kind of people? The military important places must not be approached, and leave quickly!" the sentry said in an official tone, trying to drive them away. But this time, it really can't be successful. Shangguan Yi, who are they, and how can they be frightened away by a nobody?
"It's me, Master Li. "Master Li reported his name, but unfortunately the little soldier still looked dazed, he didn't know what Master Li looked like, it seemed that his rank was too low, and he was not qualified to know.
"So it's you, I don't know why you're here?" At this time, the sentry led a team leader out, although his rank was not high, but he had heard some rumors or something, and naturally knew Master Li, but he didn't know what he was going to do with so many people.
"Are there just a few of you here? I don't know if there are any people of higher rank, I have come here to ask for something important. Li Shi frowned, as if he was annoyed by the fact that the few people who came out were all miscellaneous fish.
"Don't talk nonsense, if you have something to say, our leader is very busy, I don't have time to see you, I'll tell him if there is anything on your behalf." When the team leader heard that Master Li was looking for his superiors, his eyes were a little flustered, and he scolded loudly, as if this would make people believe what he said.
"Oh well. Li Shi took two steps forward and approached the squad leader, it seemed that it was a secret, and he had to tell him quietly, so as not to let others listen to it. The team leader naturally cooperated and put his ear next to Li Shi, facing Li Shi sideways, wanting to listen to him. However, the next moment, a dagger was inserted into his body, right in the middle of the mouth, and he died instantly.
"Remember not to be so stupid in the next life. Master Li said this to his corpse, and then turned his corpse around before pulling out the dagger, afraid that blood would be splashed on himself.
With the death of the squad leader, the other two sentries were also dealt with by the people invited by Li Shi, even if the movement was not small, no one came out again.
These people never thought that anyone would dare to attack and kill Zhongzhen's soldiers here, especially the watchmen of the guide clan who had a cooperative relationship with Zhongzhen's border pass, and actually killed the killer.
Li Shi's mood has not changed much, since he has decided to break up, he doesn't want his mother-in-law's, this was originally the territory of their guide family, but Zhong Zhen forcibly intervened, not only quietly opened up a road, but also made various restrictions on the guide family, it was simply a dove occupying the magpie's nest and calling them as dogs. They can endure it, but they can't endure it for generations, the subtle impact is very terrible, and the dog is really just a dog after a long time, and it can't become a human anymore. Not to mention a few miscellaneous fish soldiers, even if he is a border commander, as long as he can beat it, he will still kill him if he stands here.
"I'm going to see what's going on inside. "Shangguan Yi volunteered to go into that cave, these people are really lazy, let the wind out, the captain is lazy, even if the captain is lazy, the cave organs are not closed, for fear that others will not know that there are organs here, right?
After a brief inspection, Shangguan Yi came out, and it was like a miniature post station, or a toll station stuck in the middle of the passage, but now there was no one inside, and there was still a lot of information, but the team leader didn't dare to look at it, and it was all sealed. But Shangguan Yi dares to look at it, he is not Zhongzhen's soldier, your rules are your rules, it's my business, come and arrest me if you have a kind.
After a while, Shangguan Yi came out and said to Li Shi: "They seem to have found a ruin, so everyone here led a team to explore the ruins, leaving three hard-working babies to guard the house." ”
The people he said this are itching in their hearts, relics = treasures, such an equation is almost deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, regardless of whether they are qualified to get it or not, who will not have a little fantasy in their hearts?
It's just that their fantasies were wiped out by Shangguan Yi's next sentence before they could unfold.
"The defenders here are all gone, two junior generals of the Triple Heaven, a bunch of masters of the Triple Heaven, well-equipped, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with. And this is the second time they have gone to that ruin, the first time they also went to many people, but all the troops were wiped out, and none of them came back alive, not even the door was opened, so this time it was to wash away the shame. Shangguan Yi added, which made people's hearts cold for a while.
Li Shi clenched his fists, of course he knew that the so-called ruins were a place prepared for their guide clan, and the purpose was naturally to store the Lost Treasure Book. But they haven't been there yet, and they are about to be taken first by Zhongzhen's group of vampires? Can this be endured? Just like Shangguan Yi said, their guides will not always be obedient and obedient, this is something that Shangguan Yi can think of, Li Shi can think of, and the people at the border can naturally think of it. The Guide Clan wants the "Lost Treasure Book" as a basis for breaking away from Zhong Zhen's control, and Zhong Zhen also wants the "Lost Treasure Book" to control the Guide Clan forever. This is a game between the two of them, Li Shi wins the sea and the sky, and loses the catastrophe.
"What do you say, do you want to go and see?" Shangguan Yi was bewitching them on the surface, but in fact he was persuading unrelated people to retreat, he didn't want too many people to die, otherwise he couldn't explain it, and this matter couldn't be covered up, there was no danger in the mountains, but when you left, most of them died, if there were no ghosts inside, who would believe it?
Everyone expressed their opinions in a gossiping manner, except for the people invited by Li Shi and Shangguan Yi, the others were basically opposed, this is an extraneous branch, and they have to risk Zhong Zhen to death to do things, and more importantly, it is super dangerous, the people sent by Zhong Zhen for the first time were wiped out without even entering the door, where are these relics? This is obviously a trap for pit killing! What's more, what Zhong Zhen brought this time is a tacit understanding and well-equipped elite, what about these people? Don't say that the combat effectiveness is not comparable, let's just say that the equipment is far from it, how can it be fought?
Who wants to be sent to death in a situation where there is no life?
In the end, as Shangguan Yi wished, most of the people who had nothing to do with it stayed, waiting for them to come back, and they didn't dare to wait, without An Yirou to lead the way, who would dare to run around? As for Zhongzhen's passage, if you dare to go, people will dare to kill you. How can such a secret be exposed? Anyone who knows will die! And it is the same way to deal with the problem of killing ten innocent people by mistake rather than sparing one person who knows. Only one person who is not afraid of death will follow them to 'find death', yes, because An Yirou said that she is only responsible for leading the way, and the others are going on an expedition, otherwise no one wants to stay where they are and wait. Then, without the care of the formation master, this act of exploring the ruins was defined by these people as 'looking for death'.
Who is this person? In fact, he is not simple, he is as easy as Shangguan Yi, but his technique is very ingenious, at least even the disguise master An Yirou can't see it. His strength is not as unbearable as he appears, the triple heaven still has it, but no one can find out.
As someone may have guessed, mastery of disguise and aura, these two key elements are often linked to a profession, that is, killers. For example, Hua Xiangrong is also very good at these two skills, and this person is not inferior.
On the surface, he is an ordinary traveler Wang Defa, but in fact, he is a gold medal killer of a killer organization, and the reason for following this team is actually very simple: to carry out a mission. As for what task to perform, needless to say, it has nothing to do with Shangguan Yi, even if he jumps again, no one will hire a gold medal killer to deal with him as a small miscellaneous fish.
Shangguan Yi glanced at him twice, and intuitively felt that he was not simple, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he had to act as if he didn't know anything, and he was secretly vigilant in his heart.
An Yirou continued to lead the way, leading the group through the gradually thick fog, this time until it stopped near the ruins.
The reason for stopping is not because there is no need to discuss what countermeasures and what strategies to formulate to deal with those people in Zhongzhen, because there is no need.
An Yirou wrinkled her nose and took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, she really didn't like the smell of blood.
Yes, the smell of blood, so strong that they could smell it from afar, even if they couldn't see the ruins through the thick fog, they could still tell that the ruins were not far away, otherwise it would be impossible to smell such blood.
"Damn, how many dead people will have such a smell. The stinky brother complained that even though his hands were covered in blood, he had never experienced the death of so many people.
Shangguan Yi endured his disgust and guessed: "Could it be that the whole army will be wiped out without opening the door again?"
His words blew through everyone's hearts like a cold wind from the northern cold, making people shiver, but the real reason was not cold, but fear.
"Don't be kidding, do you know what it means to be an elite like Zhong Zhen? Even if our team has to deal with it, it will be difficult to deal with, and the whole army will be wiped out without opening the door?"
Shangguan Yi ignored him and exchanged a look with Li Shi, and the other party's thoughts were similar, after all, the blood of people inside the ruins would not spread so far.
"Just go and see, let's go. An Yirou frowned and continued to lead the way, she regretted that she didn't kill Master Li a few more times, how could she encounter such a situation?
After walking a little further, everyone finally came to the front of the ruins about a hundred meters, this distance would not trigger the mechanism, but they could faintly see the ruins and the scene in front of the ruins: the ruins were not large, as if they were just a temple for sacrifices, although it was very strange to appear in the wilderness, and it was out of place with the surroundings. In front of the gate of the temple, they saw the elite mentioned in the information to be sent back to the border pass, the elite stationed here. It's just that these people can't see Shangguan Yi and them anymore, even with their eyes open.
They're all dead, the kind that doesn't blink to death.
"Actually, the previous Zhongzhen soldier's death was not like this, the intelligence said that that time was killed by an incomparable machine beast. It's just that the fog has dissipated in the past two days, and the trap beasts have disappeared like foam, so they thought that there were no watchdogs and they could enter the ruins to explore, so they set out in a big way, ready to be ashamed, but they didn't expect to fold here. Shangguan Yi said what he didn't say before, but it made people more stressful.
"Master Li, if you don't have a way to crack it, we won't go in with you. "That brother spoke, even if they received payment, they couldn't be sent to death, especially this kind of terrible death.
Li Shi looked at the soldiers in front of him who didn't know what was torn apart and released almost all the blood on their bodies, as well as the two Triple Heaven masters who had no ability to resist, sighed lowly, and said, "I know." “
After he finished speaking, he strode forward, without a little timidity, only fearless firmness.
"Hey, Master Li, don't be impulsive. The stinky brother was shocked, he never dreamed that a smart person like Li Shi would walk towards the ruins without saying a word, isn't this looking for death? Those people are only ten meters away from the door, not to mention that Li Shi walks forward directly without any precautions, even if he is looking for death, it is not this way to find it, right?
To everyone's surprise, Master Li did not have an accident, and walked to the gate of the ruins safely, without triggering a single mechanism.
Shangguan Yi touched the metal box in the package with his arm, and said thoughtfully to Hua Xiangrong and An Yiru: "No matter what, you two should not approach this ruin. ”
When he approached the ruins, he could feel a force pulling this metal box, the force was very weak, and Shangguan Yi could only barely detect it. He is no stranger to this kind of power, it is probably an existence similar to a magnetic field, and there is probably something in the body of the guide that can be recognized by this magnetic field, otherwise he would not have painstakingly laid out the layout, so that they can be passed down from generation to generation, and to a certain extent, the fog will be dissipated, and the "Lost Treasure Book" will be born, right, Lord of the Heavenly City?
Naturally, no one answered him, this was Shangguan Yi's guess, otherwise who would be able to do this kind of design that what was obtained in one cemetery was the key item of another ruin?
"The two of us?" Hua Xiang looked at Shangguan Yi with a smile, I'm afraid this guy doesn't have itchy skin, right?
"Yes, you two, I don't care if the others are looking for death. Shangguan Yi obviously didn't understand her deeper meaning, because his attention was on Master Li who was trying to push the door open.
"What about you, going to die?" An Yirou asked very facelessly, he didn't want her to fail in the commission she had taken.
"I'm not going to die, I'm a man who will plague me for a thousand years. Shangguan Yi smiled lightly and strode towards Master Li. He didn't want to help him, but he had to, this was a ruin that only the guide and him could approach, this was a ruin that only he could open!
What belongs to you can only belong to you.
This is what the Lord of the Heavenly City means, so he has arranged countless killing games here, just walking into the ruins for a hundred meters and encountering dangers can kill the double heavens, let alone standing in front of the ruins gate. The role of the Trap Beast is to prevent people from approaching here, no one can do it, and the role of the Trap is to prevent people from getting close to this place, and it is useless to use any means. Even if he was as cunning as Shangguan Yi and didn't have a metal box, he didn't want to get close to this ruin.
But he did, so he could stride to the door and stand still, unharmed, as if he were walking on an ordinary road.
