Chapter 205: Spy in spies, infernal affairs
There is an ambush?
When I received the message from Elder Yue, I immediately understood that she was nearby and had already seen me.
It seems that the current situation is much worse than I expected, not only Zhao Wencai has defected, but the people of the corpse raising faction have also entered this valley, at least some of them have already mixed in. The only thing that is fortunate is that the Red River Valley has not yet been occupied by them.
After receiving Elder Yue's warning, I didn't dare to go inside anymore!
Pretending to be very puzzled, I asked Zhao Wencai quietly, "Is this iron gate strong enough?"
"Of course!"
Seeing that I didn't leave, but stared at this iron gate, Zhao Wencai hurriedly said: "This iron gate is forged with a secret method, which is not only strong but also has a spell attached, and it cannot be damaged by non-divine weapons. As long as this iron door is closed, even if more people come in from the outside, we can hold on for a while and wait for rescue!"
Other words!
If you lock me up inside, it will be a day that the earth should not be called spiritual!
"Get ready to do it!"
I used my mind to communicate with the ghost slave: "Zhao Wen is a traitor, there is an ambush behind the door!"
Three!
Two!
One!
Do it!
The next moment!
The drunken maniac pulled out the bloody blade like lightning and stabbed Zhao Wencai's chest with a knife!
The evil spirit disappeared into place out of thin air, and then appeared behind Zhao Wencai, long hair piercing into his back. Being attacked by my ghost slave, Zhao Wencai's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly broke the long hair of the evil spirit, dodged to avoid the bloody blade of the drunken maniac, and wanted to flee behind the iron gate.
Bai Shuangshuang suddenly struck out, and stabbed into Zhao Wencai's back with a sword!
Zhao Wencai turned around and slashed at Bai Shuangshuang, forcing her to retreat, and he didn't turn his head back into the cave!
Meanwhile!
One by one, the guards rushed out of it, raised their crossbows in their hands, and shot at us!
The withered leaf butterfly flapped its wings, and the power of the violent witch spell turned into a hurricane, and it rushed towards the cave, and all those sharp arrows were blown by the wind, and the guards fell out screaming miserably, and their bodies were blown apart, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Zhao Wencai's strength is not weak, and he staggered in the middle of the hurricane, but he did not die.
Impulsively by the iron door, Zhao Wencai slapped the stone wall next to him, activated the switch, and the heavy iron door fell rapidly!
The drunken maniac hurriedly took a few steps forward, threw away the bloody blade, held the bottom of the iron door with both hands, and forcibly pressed the falling iron door against it.
"Kill!"
I shouted to the Great Elder and Tang Long, "Zhao Wen is a traitor, he wants to plot against us!"
In fact, there is no need for me to say anything, there are killers in ambush in the passage, and they are not stupid, so they naturally understand what is happening.
A group of us rushed in, and if we encountered guards who dared to resist, we would shoot them directly.
The sword guard is the most elite team in the mountain hall, each member can be in charge alone, although we have few people, but the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, Zhao Wencai's people who were ambushed in it were quickly disposed of by us like chopping melons and vegetables, and some of them who were afraid of death directly chose to surrender.
Following the bloodstains on the ground, we chased all the way to the depths of the cave!
The further we chased inside, the stronger the smell of blood in the air, and we soon came to a raging river along the passage.
The water of the river here is bright as blood, exuding a strong smell of blood, from which the name of the Red River Valley comes from.
Not far ahead, I saw Zhao Wencai staggering towards the depths, and Bai Shuangshuang's sword made him suffer a lot of injuries.
Seeing Zhao Wencai, the withered leaf butterfly spread its wings and pounced on Zhao Wencai!
"Catch it alive!"
I hurriedly shouted to the Dead Leaf Butterfly, "Don't get killed!"
The withered leaf butterfly is ruthless, I'm worried that it will directly kill Zhao Wencai, and the dead are worthless!
Soon!
The dead leaf butterfly chased after him and landed on Zhao Wencai's neck, and its mouthparts pierced into his arteries, injecting some toxins into it.
Zhao Wencai ran a few steps forward, and his body staggered to the ground as if he was drunk. He tried desperately to get up, but the toxins made his body completely unresponsive.
"Let him tell the truth!"
Now that the situation is unclear, I hurriedly said to Bai Shuangshuang!
Bai Shuangshuang nodded, walked in front of Zhao Wencai, and cast a soul trick on him, Zhao Wencai's eyes quickly straightened, his face lost his look, and he became like a walking corpse.
"Ask what he answers!"
Bai Shuangshuang smiled at me: "But it can only last a few minutes, hurry up!"
Good!
Walking up to Zhao Wencai, I opened my mouth and asked, "Why do you want to betray the backer?"
"I want to get out of this hellish place!"
Zhao Wencai's voice was as dull as a machine, and he said in a daze: "They promised me freedom and glory, I am tempted!"
This...
I wondered, could I not leave again after entering the Red River Valley?
"In principle!"
The Great Elder sighed and whispered to me, "In order to protect the secrets of the Red River Valley, those who come in cannot go out again, unless they have worked for thirty years, and the Witch Ghost Church has given an amnesia pill to forcibly wash away all their memories before they can get out!"
Belch!
How so!
I was a little depressed, and I asked, "Can anyone do it for thirty years?"
"Can't!"
The Great Elder shook his head directly, and said with a wry smile: "This ghost place does not see the light of day all year round, and if you stay in such a place with heavy yin qi for a long time, there are few people who can survive for 10 years, and the one who lives the longest has lasted for 23 years." ”
The Great Elder told me that the people who work here have either committed great sins and have been exiled here, or they have come here voluntarily in desperation.
Although they can't get out when they come in, their children and descendants can get the key cultivation of the backing hall. Zhao Wencai's three sons all died in the vendetta of the rivers and lakes, probably because he felt that it was pointless to stay here, so he betrayed the backer and found a way to get out.
I see!
This choice is cruel, but there is nothing wrong with sacrificing oneself for the sake of future generations!
Zhao Wencai's three sons are all dead, which is indeed worthy of sympathy, but betraying the backer is the only way to die!
"Why are you setting up an ambush against me?"
I asked Zhao Wencai!
"Not against you!"
Zhao Wencai opened his mouth and replied: "It was to deal with the other four elders, and the corpse raising faction asked me to find a way to kill them, but you just happened to come over!"
I see!
"How many of them came?"
I continued, "When are you going to come in?"
"I don't know how many!"
Zhao Wencai glared at me very woodenly, and said, "After the time passes, they will sneak in from the blood river, and the code of the joint is cobra!"
Very good!
As long as you know how they entered, and you know the connector code, it's easy to do!
"Control him with soul control!"
I said to the Dead Leaf Butterfly, "He'll be useful for a while!"
Help Zhao Wencai take care of the wound and let the dead leaf butterfly get on his body.
Elder Yue just gave me a warning, which means that she is already nearby and has seen us. There must be other people from the Corpse Raising Sect around her, and for the sake of insurance, I have to make the people from the Corpse Raising Sect feel that Zhao Wencai has already succeeded, and we have all been killed by Zhao Wencai!
As for how long you can hide it, it depends on luck!
The withered leaf butterfly directly went up to Zhao Wencai's body and controlled his body.
After a few seconds, Zhao Wen stood up from the ground, and we walked downstream of the river.
After walking some distance down, I saw waterwheels everywhere, extracting water from the river of blood and flowing down the ditch into the belly of the mountain.
The Great Elder told me that this water contains an amazing amount of Yin Qi, just like drying salt, as long as the blood water is heated to evaporate the water vapor, what is left is a red-black precipitate, and some other ingredients can be added to process it into Yin Qi beads.
"How much does it cost to make?"
I whispered!
"One is less than 3 cents!"
The Great Elder opened his mouth and smiled, "In addition to handing over to the Witch Ghost Sect and our own use, there is also a part of it that flows into the black market. Let's put it this way, in the territory we control, 95% of all the Yin Qi Beads sold on the black market are shipped from us, so as to exchange for a huge amount of money to maintain the operation of the Gushan Hall. ”
And so it was!
Yin Qi beads are like rice, it is the food for raising ghosts, although there are also ghost keepers who sell some for cash because they are short of money, but as consumables, there will definitely be less and less circulation on the market.
I have always suspected that the Yin Qi Beads sold on the black market are the biggest profiteers of the Gushantang, and now it has been confirmed that the Gushantang is indeed the largest supplier. A Yin Qi bead that costs less than 3 cents is sold for more than 100 yuan, 300 times the profit, no wonder the Great Elder was so nervous when he heard that the Corpse Raising Sect was going to attack the Red River Valley.
Because this Red River Valley is completely a huge gold mine that can be mined endlessly, supporting the financial system of the backing mountain. As long as there is a shutdown here for a few days, there will be a huge problem in the backing hall!
After passing through the watermills, we came to the deepest part of the cave, where the terrain became extremely steep, and at the end of the underground river was a very strong iron fence. But such a defense is obviously not able to resist the intruder. Seeing us coming in, the guards here walked towards us.
"Is there anything out of the ordinary?"
The Great Elder asked the little leader here!
"Nope!"
The little boss hurriedly said!
OK!
It seems that the corpse-raising faction's brigade has not yet started to act, and we still have time to arm!
Suddenly!
In the roaring sound of the water, I vaguely felt a faint smell of corpse. Looking over the iron fence, I felt that something was wrong with the flow there, and in one place it was clearly blocked. Glancing over there, I vaguely saw two golden palms, tugging at the iron fence.
I immediately understood that this was the golden armor corpse of the corpse raising faction, comparable to the existence of the ghost king!
"Are you sure there's really nothing out of the ordinary?"
I took a deep breath and asked the little boss!
"Nope!"
A hint of panic flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly said!
When he spoke, his eyes kept drifting to Zhao Wencai's side, and I immediately understood that he had a ghost in his heart, and he was obviously also bought by the corpse raising faction!
"Okay!"
I said to the leader, "Be careful, don't be careless, let's go look elsewhere!"
"Yes! Yes!"
The boss nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief!
With the Great Elder and Tang Long and them, we left the outlet of the underground river, turned a corner, and I whispered to everyone: "Prepare for battle, they are already here!"
