Chapter 69: The Black Hand and the Conspiracy
"Big brother, you said that so much time has passed, why hasn't Master and his old man woken up yet?"
In the secret space, deep underneath the ruined palace, Jin Ming and Huang Jian, who had escaped from the outside, had been guarding beside the stone coffin, waiting for the person in the coffin, that is, the master in their mouth, to wake up and come out.
The two of them waited for nearly two days, but the sarcophagus did not move, which made Huang Jian, who was impatient himself, feel a little impatient.
"Shut up, don't talk nonsense, Master will naturally go out when it's time to go out, let's wait with peace of mind." ”
Compared to Huang Jian, Jin Ming was much more patient, and he seemed to have great respect for the master in this coffin, or even a lot of awe.
“...... Got it, big brother. ”
Looking at Jin Ming's fierce eyes, Huang Jian swallowed the words that were about to come out again.
As a result, the dimly lit basement fell silent again.
Click!
However, the silence did not last long, and was soon broken by the sound of the coffin board moving.
"Master is waking up!"
Jin Ming and Huang Jian, who were next to them, were startled when they heard the movement, and looked at the coffin together.
Seeing that the thick coffin lid was opening automatically, the two turned their heads to look at each other, and they both showed joy.
Boom!
At this moment, the coffin board, which had been removed a little to expose the gap, was suddenly struck away by a palm rising from inside, and fell heavily to the ground several meters away.
"Jin Ming, Huang Jian greets Master!"
After slamming the lid of the coffin with one palm, the person lying inside sat up.
It looked like a middle-aged man with an old hairstyle and an old costume.
Seeing him, Jin Ming and Huang Jian next to him bowed.
"Well, you two are good, get up. ”
Although the man dressed and looked like an ancient, he spoke in authentic modern Chinese and Han languages, and even had the same local accent as Jin Ming and Huang Jian, which sounded like a strange feeling.
"Master Xie. ”
Jin Ming and Huang Jian got each other's consent before carefully getting up from the ground.
As for the other party's praise, they listened to it in their ears, but they didn't dare to feel the slightest smugness, and their whole expression and attitude seemed very restrained, and even a little sincere.
There is no way, the person who woke up from the coffin on the other side is too mysterious and unfathomable, and the pressure caused to them is very huge.
Although the other party verbally said that they were apprentices and taught them the skills of beast control, Jin Ming, who was very treacherous, did not dare to take it completely seriously.
In his opinion, when he inadvertently broke into the secret realm and was dragged here by the other party, he was more like a tool person who was selected to do things for him, rather than a disciple who inherited the mantle.
"Well, you don't have to be too nervous. I was able to wake up this time, thanks to you. When I regain my strength and reopen the Gate of the Royal Beast Mountain, I will naturally keep my promise to officially include you in the gate wall, so you don't have to worry. ”
The middle-aged man who looked like an ancient man quickly crawled out of the coffin and fell to the ground. The tall figure, paired with the cyan robe embroidered with the dragon pattern on the body, looks very tall and majestic.
In particular, there is a dragon-shaped tattoo on his face, which is lifelike, revealing a wild domineering spirit.
However, his attitude towards Jin Ming and the others was quite gentle.
"Don't dare, Master Xie. I wish Master to reopen the mountain gate as soon as possible and become famous all over the world. ”
After listening to the man's words, the two of them, who knew that their emotions and performance were being seen by the other party, first tightened their hearts, and then quickly relaxed.
Indeed, everything he has today is given by the other party, and even his life is in the hands of the other party.
Regardless of whether what the other side says is true or false, they have no right or room to oppose and resist.
In this case, it is better to relax and do your duty. Even if you are just a tool in the eyes of the other party, as long as you are valuable.
After thinking about this, the two people who had the right mentality no longer trembled in the face of each other as they did just now.
The man opposite saw the change in Jin Ming and Huang Jian's expressions, and a trace of imperceptible satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
"Well, although you lost three people last time, the mission was well accomplished, and now you are one last step away. By the time I've gotten rid of the crowd that came in from outside, I should be able to fully recover. Hey, there's quite a lot of people coming this time!"
The man in ancient costume didn't pay too much attention to the emotional changes of the two, and said instead.
"Master, you said someone came in from outside?"
After listening to the man's words, Jin Ming was a little surprised.
He was surprised not that someone from outside came in, after all, it had been almost two days since they fled back, and it was not surprising that the official personnel led by Fan Li outside should have taken action no matter how dull they were.
What really surprised Jin Ming was the man's performance, he had just come out of the sarcophagus, but he was able to control the situation outside.
However, when he remembered that the man in front of him was able to guide them here from afar, Jin Ming felt that his surprise was a little redundant.
"Well, my little darlings told me that ten people had just come in from outside, and if I guessed correctly, these people must be your former rivals and enemies. ”
The man in costume continued.
I see.
After listening to the man's words, Jin Ming instantly understood.
It seems that among the many beasts and fierce beasts outside, many of them are raised or controlled by men, and they can be used as eyeliner.
Is that what we did before......
Thinking of this, Jin Ming's heart chilled.
Luckily, I don't have anything else on my mind.
On the one hand, Jin Ming was surprised by the man's ability, and at the same time, he was secretly a little happy.
"Master, what should we do next?"
Just as Jin Ming's thoughts changed, Huang Jian next to him opened his mouth and asked.
"Although I have recovered, I can't leave here for the time being, so this group of people needs to be handed over to you two to deal with, and it can be regarded as a chance for you to take revenge. ”
Listening to Huang Jian's question, the man looked at him and said.
"This, Master, there are ten people in their group, and their strength and cultivation should not be weak, and the two of us alone may not be able to do it. ”
vaguely guessed that it was Fan Li's group of people who came in, and Jin Ming naturally did not object to taking revenge, but the premise was that he had enough strength, otherwise it would be tantamount to throwing himself into the net.
"Don't worry, I won't let you die in vain. Before I do that, I'm going to give you a boost. ”
The man in costume is not a stupid person, so he has naturally thought about this question for a long time.
"This sarcophagus is a holy relic that I use to heal my wounds, and there is still some power left in it, wait for the two of you to lie in it together and absorb these powers, it should be enough to improve a small realm of cultivation. When you come out, I'll get the little ones out there to do their bidding. Alright, time is pressing, so you guys can go in now. ”
The man quickly made arrangements.
"Yes, Master. ”
Although Jin Ming and Huang Jian were a little repulsed by the fact that the living were sleeping in coffins, they did not dare to disobey the man's order, so they could only lie down one after another.
Speaking of which, although this man looks like an ancient person, he is very tall, and the sarcophagus he sleeps in is also very wide, enough for Jin Ming and Huang Jian to lie down together and there is still room left.
Boom!
As the two of them lay down, the man in ancient costume waved his hand, and the coffin lid that fell next to him flew up and covered the coffin anew.
"Hey, the prey has come in, and when the hunter comes out, the game of hunting will begin. ”
After the coffin lid was closed, the man in the costume turned around and looked up with his hands behind his back, as if he could see through the thick rock formations, and muttered to himself.
......
Whoa!
Wow!
"Dooley, Dumei, your archery skills are too good. ”
Outside, the exploration team, which had been in the secret space for half an hour, was struggling to move forward.
There are too many dangerous creatures in the dense jungle, whether it is snakes, insects, rats, ants, birds and animals, they all pop up from time to time to attack these strange visitors.
Fortunately, the ten members of the exploration team are all selected elites, equipped with various abilities, including long-range attack and close combat, defense and perception, and under the cooperation of each other, there is no danger for the time being, and there have been no casualties.
As the most active character in the team, Li Wei couldn't help but praise as he watched the Duli Dumei sisters shoot two poisonous snakes from a distance.
It seems that he has a tendency to become a little fan brother of the two sisters.
"Be careful!"
At this moment, a huge centipede suddenly sprang out from Li Wei's feet, but fortunately, Li Yu next to him reacted quickly and activated his ability, and an emerald green vine appeared out of thin air and entangled the centipede.
Tear and pull!
As the vines tightened, the centipede's body was torn apart by the tremendous force and fell to the ground.
Chirp!
"Master, a flock of big birds is coming in front. ”
As soon as the centipede died, everyone heard a warning chirp from Nobita overhead.
"Attention, everybody, flock of birds ahead!"
After receiving the message from Nobita, Qiao Xiu hurriedly opened his mouth to remind his teammates.
Chirp!
Bang Bang Bang!
Just as everyone stopped and took a defensive stance, there was a sound of birds chirping and wings flapping in the sky!
Better!
The people who looked up looked at the hundreds of birds, and their hearts were shocked.
"Here! Beware. ”
Although Nobita had already taken the lead in mid-air, it was too much for him alone to stop so many birds.
These birds look a bit like eagles, not very large in size, but very fast.
Most of them quickly crossed Nobita's side and swooped down towards Qiao Xiu and the others.
Fortunately, Qiao Xiu and the others had already taken precautions and gave a head-on blow to the wave of birds that rushed down first.
Woohoo!
Zizi!
Bang bang!
The first to do so were the Doley sisters' arrows and Fan Li's throwing knives.
Among them, the flying knives controlled by Fan Li are the sharpest, and the three flying knives turn into three phantoms under the control of Fan Li's powerful spiritual power, constantly shuttling among the birds, and their lethality is not weaker than bullets.
Under the long-range attack of the three people, the birds were killed and injured countless times in mid-air.
A few fish that slipped through the net rushed to everyone's side, but they were greeted by Qiao Xiu and Yang Guo, their heavy swords, iron fists, giant shields, and other attacks.
About ten minutes later, this flock of hundreds of birds was scattered by Qiao Xiu and them.
The rest of the part finally couldn't help but fly away.
"Whew!"
After the birds flew away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Don't look at them, they seem to have crushed the flock, but it is very physically exhausting to constantly maintain the output of ability.
