Chapter 61: Halfway through
Vertical day.
In the dense forest, there were traces of Duanmuqi and Gu Nanyun, Yue Ningyi and Wen Li, who had wandered in the desolate forest for most of these days, and searched for hidden places, but there was no sign of the Seven Treasure Bell and the Spirit Beast Pig, so it was more like looking for a needle in a haystack, which was extremely difficult to find.
Along the way, they didn't find any trace of the Qibao Bell, but they encountered many traces left by the fight scenes, among which many disciples of the sect died because of the battle.
Suddenly, the leaves in the forest shook a few times!
"Who...... Come out ......"
Gu Nanyun let out a loud sigh, he found that there was a movement in the surrounding jungle, and he thought to himself that it was not the cult demon who was eyeing them, and the four of them sacrificed their long swords one after another, concentrating on vigilance.
At this time, I saw two people jumping out of the jungle, a man and a woman, who were walking towards Gu Nanyun and them.
After Gu Nanyun and the other three saw the two of them, their faces showed joy.
Just looked at the four of them, the woman who walked over from the opposite side, she was wearing an orange and yellow shirt, clean and neat, and her eyes were clear and clear, as bright as stars.
That woman was Jin Fuyu, a disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect, and who was the man who walked with her was not He Dahong?
Gu Nanyun took the lead and took a few steps forward, put a hand on He Dahong's shoulder, and he smiled happily: "Brother He, it turned out to be you! I haven't seen you in the past few days, I'm really worried that something will happen to you!"
He Dahong smiled "haha", his face was radiant, and he said: "Thank you Brother Gu for your concern, you see I'm not doing well now!" After speaking, he turned around and asked Gu Nanyun like a child to see if his whole body was intact!
When the two were still talking and laughing, Jin Fuyu next to He Dahong showed displeasure on her face, and she said slowly: "Yes, if your eldest brother He hadn't been protected by this girl all the way, he would have been able to see you safely!"
After Gu Nanyun heard this, his face showed surprise, he looked at Jin Fuyu in front of him, only to see her slanting a pair of bright eyes, looking at He Dahong's reaction.
"Miss Jin, we're meeting again, you're really joking!" Gu Nanyun said with a smile.
At this moment, He Dahong didn't say anything, under Jin Fuyu's gaze, he began to panic again, and his eyes didn't know where to look, just smiled and nodded......
He has always had a strong temperament, only in front of Jin Fuyu, He Dahong is like a frosted eggplant, and his momentum immediately wilted, and he looks more demented!
A moment later, Duanmu Qi, Yue Ningyi, and Wen Li, who were behind Gu Nanyun, all stepped forward, all with happy smiles on their faces.
Seeing this scene, Yue Ningyi smiled and joked with He Dahong, "Brother He, I see you with a red face today, are you very happy to find Miss Jin!"
Gu Nanyun also added, saying, "Yes, look at your happy face, it's really enviable!"
He Dahong and Jin Fuyu were ridiculed by them like this, both of them looked a little embarrassed, Jin Fuyu then coughed a few times, seeing her little face slightly red, the previous brutal momentum turned into a warm vein, at this moment she is so beautiful that she is a little sultry!
In order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere at this time, He Dahong changed the topic, arched his hand and said to Duanmu Qi: "Senior Duanmu, you have been fine these days!"
Duanmuqi nodded, and she replied: "He Shaoxia, now that you have returned safely, and you have found Miss Jin, I am really happy for you!"
After Duanmu Qi said that, Jin Fuyu's warm look just now faded, and then the smile disappeared, and she arched her hand and said, "The junior has seen Duanmu senior!"
Duanmuqi's attitude when he saw her today was different from when he first saw her in Shenbao Villa a few days ago, and now he is a little more gentle and polite.
At this moment, I saw a trace of sadness flashing on Yue Ningyi's face standing next to them, she saw the two people in front of He Dahong and Jin Fuyu, looking at their sweet smiles, she thought of a person in her heart, that person's face appeared in her mind, Senior Brother Lin doesn't know what is going on now, will he be in danger......
A few people talked, and they were very harmonious.
Gu Nanyun looked at Jin Fuyu and asked her, "By the way, dare to ask Miss Jin, I don't know when you came to the Desolate Forest?"
At this time, Jin Fuyu set her eyes on Gu Nanyun, her eyes rolled for a moment, she thought for a while and replied: "This is the original thing, that day when I sent the magic weapon 'Phantom Rain Flying Star' back to the sect, I heard the news of the spirit beast from Yunzhou, saying that the ancient spirit beast was born with extraordinary divine power, and if anyone can subdue this spirit beast, they can use it to consolidate their own strength!"
She continued: "So my master and his old man have also heard about it, because the door is entangled in affairs, so he arranged for me to go to the Yunzhou Desolate Forest to find out!"
At this time, Wen Li, one of them, spoke: "The yellow cloth strip that the golden girl left in the woods a few days ago was to attract our attention?"
At this moment, Jin Fuyu looked at him, smiled and replied: "This little sister is really smart, not bad! I came to the Desolate Forest that day, and I thought that you would definitely go too, so I tore off a few strips of cloth from the corners of my clothes, and hung them on the branches of the trees before I got there, so that you could see them, so that if you could find me, I would not be alone!"
"I see!" Gu Nanyun said with a smile: "No wonder when Senior Brother He saw the yellow cloth strip you left behind that day, he immediately recognized that it was you, his face was full of worry, and he thought that something had happened to you, so he went to look for you alone, thanks to Senior Brother He, otherwise how could we meet so quickly!"
At this moment, everyone turned all their eyes on He Dahong, but seeing that the corners of his forehead were sweating slightly, he hurriedly said: "This ...... It's the same for everyone else, hehe...... Senior Brother Gu, you ...... Don't talk nonsense!"
Jin Fuyu stared at him intently, although she was a little arrogant on her face, who knew that there was a feeling of joy in her heart, and then, she didn't have a good face to He Dahong, and said: "Listening to Gu Shaoxia say this, is this girl going to thank you well!"
How do you know that a few people looked at their questions and answers, and usually looked at He Dahong was also majestic, but he didn't expect that in front of this golden girl, it was like a deflated ball, which made several people laugh out loud......
Finally, Duanmuqi said to Jin Fuyu: "Miss Jin, what news have you found out in the past few days?"
Jin Fuyu said: "Back to Duanmu's predecessors, a few days ago, I had already explored the location of the cult's stationing, but I didn't dare to act rashly, I was hiding outside the entrance of the cave at that time, and I heard that they were plotting to release the news of the Qibao Bell, to lead a large number of sect forces in the forest to one place, and when they killed each other and lost both, then ambushed and encircled and eradicated in one fell swoop!"
She continued: "Although I don't know exactly where it leads, but in the past few days, a large number of sect forces are rushing to the Blood Bat Tiankeng in the south of the Desolate Forest, where did the news of the appearance of the Qibao Bell come from, I think it should be the ambush place of the cult!"
Duanmu Qi and the four of them hadn't heard the news yet, and several of them all looked suspicious, Gu Nanyun said at this time: "Uncle Duanmu, then we will rush to the Blood Bat Tiankeng immediately, and we must stop their plan!"
"Tomorrow is the three-day period, then we still have to go to Qilipo to meet Senior Brother Lin, Bai Shaoxia, will they meet?"
After Duanmuqi heard this, she thought about it, she expected that Lin Xu and the others and Bai Zhaoce would rush to the Blood Bat Sinkhole to investigate when they heard the news, so she said: "No need, now a large number of people are rushing to the Blood Bat Sinkhole, presumably they are already in front of us, we have to hurry up!"
Today's sky is gloomy and gloomy, and the sky over the entire barren forest is covered with thick inky clouds, and then it turns gray-yellow and turbid, squeezing the sky as if it is about to fall, as if the whole world has become extremely depressed, and I don't know when I can get rid of this heavy obstacle and see the new sunshine again. On the ground, only the indifferent wind shuttled violently, roaring and flapping......
At this time, on the top of the fiery yellow rock, a large number of sect members suddenly gathered, and then several rays of light fell from the sky from all directions one after another, and it was the various sect forces that flew from the magic weapon.
For a while, there was a crowd of people, and they all led their disciples towards the huge blood bat sinkhole.
Blood bat sinkhole, as the name suggests, here is a giant pit on the top of the mountain that was smashed by flying stones outside the sky, due to the long time, because of the geological changes of the mountain, the giant pit became elliptical and narrow, only to see that the pit was full of a lot of grass and trees, and there was fog floating inside, enough to see the depth of the huge pit.
The blood bat sinkhole is surrounded by cliffs, the rock walls are steep, shaped like knife cutting, magnificent and magnificent, and the primitive grass and trees are lush and lush. Sunlight can enter through the mouth of the sinkhole, and clear water descends from the cliff, merging into a stream, flowing down. At the bottom of the sinkhole, it is a kind of vampire bat habitat, so it is called the blood bat sinkhole.
Around the Blood Bat Sinkhole, there was a crowd of people at this time, they looked at the bottom of the giant pit, and then summoned their respective immortal magic weapons, and hundreds of rays of light immediately rose into the air and flew towards the sinkhole together.
Since it was a cloudy day, there were grass or boulders in the Blood Bat Sinkhole, which blocked most of the light, and the bottom of the sinkhole became dark.
I only heard the sound of broken branches, tens of thousands of red bats in the sinkhole, big and like eagles, scarlet in their mouths, hideous and terrifying, all of them were suddenly disturbed by the outside world, and a burst of "squeaky ......" bat cries continued one after another, and they all flew up and made a mess, and the black pressure was like a black cloud all over the sky.
Those bats saw the humans flying down one by one, followed by the sound of "crackling and crackling" intensively, countless blood-colored bats, densely packed, all of them launched an attack on those humans who flew down, and immediately, those people in the sinkhole faced this ferocious blood bat invasion, and they all sacrificed the weapons in their hands.
The countless red bats, one by one, were cut in two by those people's weapons and magic weapons, blood sprayed, and a fishy smell permeated the entire sinkhole, and the smell was unpleasant and disgusting. After some slaughter, a large number of bats escaped one after another, flapping their wings and flying towards the sky above the sinkhole, and the remaining small pieces were all killed and dropped, and the attack of blood bats ended.
After those people saw that tens of thousands of blood bats were cleared, they then landed on the ground at the bottom of the sinkhole from above, and then a batch descended, looking at the entire blood bat pit, it can accommodate as many as three or four hundred, and judging from the number of people who landed just now, there are about two hundred people.
In the end, more than thirty people flew down from the sky above the sinkhole, among those people, it turned out to be Bai Zhaoce and the seven disciples of the Divine Martyr's Hall, and behind them were the disciples of the three sects, Wu Zhenren, Ma Xiangu and Bian Peng, who followed and landed down.
After landing, Bai Zhaoce turned his head to look around at the surrounding scene, only to see that the ground was overgrown with weeds and gravel, among which there were also those red bats that had just been killed, piled up on the ground, and a thick smell of blood, smelly, pierced into his nose. Looking at the rocks on all sides of the sinkhole, the stone walls are bare and flow some fine water droplets, and there is nothing peculiar. It's just that on the other side of the stone wall, a stream flows down slowly, straight into a pool of blue water on the ground at the bottom of the sinkhole.
Not far in front of them, there were a large number of people from other factions, only listening to their noisy shouting, leading their disciples to look around.
At this time, Bai Zhaoce's brows furrowed slightly, as if he remembered something, and among the three heads beside him, Wu Zhenren said: "Bai Shaoxia, I just saw that your expression was a little wrong, could it be that you are looking for someone?"
Bai Zhaoce said at this time: "Yes, Senior Wu, there were a few friends with me before, but they haven't come to this blood bat sinkhole yet!"
Wu Zhenren said: "Well, Bai Shaoxia don't worry, presumably they should be on the way here!"
"I hope so, I hope to meet them soon!" Bai Zhaoce said in a deep voice.
"White Shaoxia ......"
Suddenly, a man's voice came from another place among them, Bai Zhaoce and the others fled to their side, only to see a group of people walking towards them, the man in front of him was of medium stature, dressed in black, this person was not the Mao Cang that Bai Zhaoce met before!
That Mao Cang led the group of disciples behind him to Bai Zhaoce and the others, and then he looked at the three heads next to Bai Zhaoce, and smiled to show that he had taken a look.
At this time, the three heads also bowed their hands together, nodded and smiled, as a return salute.
After that, Mao Cang opened his mouth and said to Bai Zhaoce: "Bai Shaoxia, I finally saw you, I didn't expect you to come here too!"
Bai Zhaoce looked at him and said with a smile: "Master Mao, you have gone out to investigate in the past few days, but there is any important news!"
Mao Cang's smile sank at this time, his head shook slightly, he lowered his head and said: "It's all Mao Cang's incompetence, these days I have led the disciples all the way to explore the whereabouts of Qibao Bell and spirit beasts, but there are no clues at all, on the way, I encountered other sects and sneak attacks, fortunately, I resisted to the death, so I was able to save my life, all the way I heard the news of Qibao Bell, and I rushed here!"
Bai Zhaoce's expression was calm, his eyes flashed, and he said: "Master Mao doesn't have to blame himself, isn't Qibaoling saying that in this blood bat sinkhole, you can be safe and sound, which is not bad!"
"Mao Cang is ashamed, but the spirit beast has never been found, I have the task you have to do, and I ask Bai Shaoxia to punish me!" Mao Cang bent down and said.
Bai Zhaoce's expression was indifferent, he chuckled, and said: "Where is Master Mao, speaking of which, you are still my senior, and now we should work together to fight against the cult demons!"
"Yes, Bai Shaoxia, Mao Cang understands!" Mao Cang said and observed the surroundings of the sinkhole, and then said: "I didn't hear that the Qibao Bell is in this sinkhole, but except for some weeds and gravel, I haven't seen the Qibao Bell here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three palms next to Bai Zhaoce, Bian Peng, answered: "Master Mao and don't listen to it, I and Bai Shaoxia are here to find out, and now looking at the situation, most of them are swaggering and confused, and I don't know what An's mind is!"
Bian Peng finished speaking, and suddenly he heard someone shouting not far in front of them: "That's Qibao Ling...... This artifact is really here!"
Bai Zhaoce, Mao Cang and the others looked along the sound, and saw that on a rock wall of the sinkhole, there was a relatively hidden small stone cave, and everyone only saw the golden light shining inside, but they couldn't see what was in the cave.
For a while, a large number of sect people present held their breath and looked stunned, although they couldn't see the scene in the cave clearly, but with that strange and dazzling golden light, they thought it should be Qibao Ling.
All the people present began to stir, and they all wanted to step forward to get the artifact Qibao Bell, but at this moment, a short and fat man walked out of the crowd, blocking in front of everyone present, preventing them from wanting to step forward.
On Bai Zhaoce's side, Mao Cang recognized at a glance that the person was Tian Taili from the Southern Wilderness Iron Mountain Gate, but he didn't expect that the road was narrow that day, but he met him here. At the same time, Bai Zhaoce also recognized Tian Taili.
At this time, Mao Cang and the three heads next to him were about to rush forward, only to see Bai Zhaoce stretch out his hand to block their rushing movements, he said: "A few seniors, wait, let's take a look at the situation first, and then it's not too late!"
After hearing Bai Zhaoce's words, the three heads all looked at each other, and then nodded.
On the other hand, Mao Cang's side, he couldn't stop the anger in his heart, if Bai Zhaoce hadn't stopped it in time, I am afraid that he would have stepped forward to fight with Natian Taili.
Tian Taili's side, I saw him standing alone in front of everyone, with a serious face and then laughing, he arched his hand and said: "Everyone, please listen to the old man's words, for several days, all sects have been fighting for this artifact Qibao Bell, and there have been countless casualties!"
He then said: "Now that this Qibao Bell has appeared, the old man wants everyone here to get it! However, have you ever thought that if you want to get this supreme artifact, there will be a battle of life and death for everyone today, and I don't know how many people will die here for it!"
After Tian Taili finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, with a compassionate look on his face.
There was a lot of discussion among the people present, and more people turned their eyes to Tian Taili, thinking about who this person was sacred, and they didn't know what he meant by what he said.
At this time, a middle-aged man in white clothes in the crowd, with white hair tied up, a capable ponytail, and a pair of eyes under snow-white eyebrows showed an evil light.
The man said angrily: "Aren't you talking nonsense, who are you who dare to stop us here, as soon as this Qibao Bell comes out, who doesn't want to get it, you can't swallow it alone!"
Later, another person followed and said: "Yes, don't be coy here, if you don't want to get the Qibao Bell, don't mix here!"
Everyone began to stir again, and they all drew their weapons and wanted to come forward to snatch them......
"Everyone, slow down......"
It was a white-faced scholar man on the side of the crowd who spoke, looking at his cold face, a pair of slender eyes with a cold light, the skin on his face was a little pale, and his lips were slightly curled as if they were stained red with blood.
He picked up a folding fan in his hand, and at this moment the fan had been opened, and the beautiful colors of mountains and rivers were depicted on it, and a few words were written in ink.
The man chuckled, shook his fan to help the wind, and said to Tiantai slowly: "Since you are here to persuade everyone not to fight for this, then according to Brother Tai's opinion, how to solve it next!"
Tian Taili saw that after the white-faced scholar finished speaking, he knew that this was not a provocative remark, and then looked at everyone: "I am Tian Taili of the Southern Wilderness Iron Mountain Gate, today everyone wants to get the Qibao Ring, in order to avoid reducing casualties, the old man has an idea, I don't know if everyone present can accept it?"
After hearing this, the white-faced scholar sneered: "Then ask Master Tian to say it, so that I can wait to hear what kind of excellent idea this is!"
Tian Taili opened his mouth and said: "All the sects present, each of us will elect a representative of the sect, and then have a competition, until the winner can get this Qibao Bell, how about you!"
A few days ago, he carried a kind of evil poison called "disgust", which flowed out of the Southern Wilderness, and it is said that it was made by using an ancient curse technique to ingest the resentful spirits after death, and gathered a certain amount of ghost ginseng into the medicine furnace to refine it.
But all those who fall into this poison will enter a state of madness, with visions in their brains, and evil spirits haunted them, and then the seven orifices will bleed, their faces will be unrecognizable, and the meridians of their bodies will burst and die!
Tian Taili only needs to grasp the timing at this time, and take advantage of the unpreparedness of everyone present to delay the time, so that he can take the opportunity to unleash this poison of disgust, and then the Qibao Bell will naturally be in his bag!
At this time, after listening to Tian Taili's proposal, some of the people present were silent, some hesitated, and some thought that Tian Taili was right, thinking about the one among them who didn't want to win the artifact Qibao Ling, once there was a fight, it would inevitably be a bloody battle, and Qibao Ling didn't get it, but took his own life, and it was not worth it.
