Chapter 250: Guarding Each Other
Mossy stone walls, corroded railings, silence all around...... If anything.
After Bai Junqian and them turned the corner, they saw that a few steps away, the oil lamps were all burning and bright, and only the place they were in before was dark, as if they were separated by a line of yin and yang.
The further you walked in, the more cells appeared in front of you, and the thick door was closed with a small iron window, and there was not a trace of human breath in the door, it was all empty.
There is still a smell of blood in the air, although it is not very strong, but as long as you walk here for a long time, you can ask clearly. Not only that, but there was a stale smell in the walk, and only the footsteps of the two of them were quiet around.
The structure of this underground palace is very complicated, the forks are criss-crossed, Bai Junqian and Lingxi also turned around several times by feeling, and suddenly stopped after stepping out of a walkway, their faces slightly condensed.
Lingxi, who was following him, walked up to him, looked at the ashes not far away, and said, "We seem to be back to where we are." ”
Hearing this, Bai Junqian's brows furrowed even deeper, then he glanced sideways at Lingxi, turned around and led Lingxi into the road again.
This time he was no longer casual, he paid attention to the wear and tear marks on the stone wall all the way, and when he walked for half a cup of tea, Bai Junqian suddenly raised his hand to stop Lingxi, stopped and listened carefully for a moment, a smile appeared on his lips, he looked at the fork on the left, and said softly to Lingxi: "Finally, someone who can ask for directions has come." ”
The next moment, there was a clear sound of footsteps, and a group of people came, about ten people, but they didn't react at all after seeing Bai Junqian and Lingxi.
Bai Junqian and Lingxi also discovered the strangeness of these people-
The sound of their footsteps is not the same as ordinary people, and their footsteps seem to be very procrastinated. If you look closely, their eyes are dull, and their bodies are a little rickety, like puppets being manipulated.
Just as Bai Junqian was thinking this, the sound of the footsteps of the group of people and the sound of swords coming out of their sheaths rushed over, and one by one the bright swords stabbed towards them.
At the same time, Bai Junqian and Lingxi also saw the red-black seal on these people's arms, which looked very weird.
Is that the reason......
Bai Junqian pulled Lingxi and turned his head and ran, but Lingxi said, "Master, why don't you just kill them?"
"They're just being controlled. Bai Junqian replied.
The two of them quickened their pace and passed several forks in the road in succession, but those who were controlled still persevered in following the two of them, as if they had locked on to their goal.
After a long time, Bai Junqian and Lingxi stopped, there was nowhere to go in front of them, and Lingxi also slashed at the stone wall with his sword a few times, but the stone wall did not move at all, and it seemed that it completely blocked their way.
Lingxi's expression changed slightly, and he stood directly in front of Bai Junqian, and said faintly: "I can only fight with them." ”
"You can't kill them, they are ......" Before Bai Junqian's words fell, Lingxi had already rushed out.
The movements in her hands looked very fierce, Bai Junqian couldn't help but want to stop it, but to Bai Junqian's surprise, Lingxi didn't take out the sword directly, I saw that she didn't bend the person's wrist without strength, pressed down the long sword, and then hit the back of the person's neck directly.
However, such an attack did not cause much damage to these people, and their actions only paused slightly, and then immediately resumed as usual.
When Bai Junqian saw all this, he immediately counted the battle situation to help Lingxi, and then took Lingxi out of the encirclement.
"Master, this group of people can't be killed, but I just tried to stun them, but I still can't!" Lingxi said with some excitement, and the group of people who were controlled were still following them.
Bai Junqian didn't answer immediately, but after looking around at the surrounding environment, he said to Lingxi, "Is there still that poisonous medicine powder that the sixth uncle gave you before?"
"The one that can stun people?" Lingxi asked.
"That's right. Bai Junqian replied, random Lingxi had already handed a small brown bottle to Bai Junqian, only to see Bai Junqian stop for a moment, then turn around, spill the medicine powder with one hand, and cast a spell with the other.
The medicinal powder was blown directly by a gust of wind towards the group of people who were chasing after them, but those people still didn't seem to be affected, and they still came towards Bai Junqian and them.
"It seems that the poison doesn't seem to have any effect on them......" Lingxi's words did not fall, but those people suddenly fell to the ground, one after another, in front of her.
There was one who supported a little longer, and he just wanted to raise his sword to stab Lingxi, but he was blocked by a layer of transparent enchantment, only to see that the sword stopped in front of Lingxi's eyes, and Bai Junqian, who cast the enchantment, was standing in front of Lingxi, close to the sword.
Lingxi was slightly surprised, but not only surprised by Bai Junqian's behavior of protecting her like this, but also Bai Junqian's current cultivation seemed to have dropped a lot compared to before, judging from the speed at which he cast the spell.
The two of them suddenly heard footsteps approaching this side, Lingxi was suddenly grabbed by the arm, and Bai Junqian preemptively said before she could move: "It's better to avoid them." ”
But as soon as they crossed a fork in the road, they saw several people rushing towards them, and then the footsteps of those people came from behind them, as if they were endless.
Lingxi used his sword qi to shake away the few people who were blocking in front of them at once, and continued to walk forward, but along the way, there were still countless people chasing after them from another fork in the road, and the originally quiet and uninhabited dungeon was boiling in the sky in a blink of an eye, and there was chaos, and I don't know how to hide so many people.
After a long time, Bai Junqian stopped at the pool of ashes, raised his hand and groped for something on the stone wall.
Lingxi leaned against the wall, looking at the way of those people who had not yet caught up, and said, "Master, have you found anything?"
Lingxi replied with a crisp click, Lingxi turned around in surprise, only to see the stone slab in front of Bai Junqian rising upward, showing a path in front of them, and the oil lamp was also bright.
As soon as she wanted to say something, the roaring wind sword suddenly sounded behind her ears, Lingxi violently blocked it with her sword, and then shook it out, and as soon as Bai Junqian raised her eyes, she saw those people pounce on her, and hurriedly raised her hand to pull Lingxi behind the door, and the medicine powder with the Hidden Blade was spilled out again, and the movement of those people slowed down slightly, and only at this moment let him pull down the mechanism and close the door.
At this time, they entered the rest of the dungeon.
