Chapter Sixty-Nine: One of the Waterholes
There were a few oil lamps lit in the tent of the master of the sky, which illuminated the tent brightly, and the master of the sky swept his eyes to us and muttered: "What do you think?"
This gathering was very hasty, and all the heads of the Seven Great Sects gathered here, and I was also summoned by the Master of the Heavenly Sky. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info However, unlike the heads of those small and medium-sized sects, I am sitting behind Cheng Fuhai, close to Master Debenkong and Tianyi Chang, and I am faintly higher than Zhao Chuanshu and Path An in terms of status.
The detective disciples sent out by the Shaolin Temple have already returned, and according to their reports, the woods on the periphery of the Death Swamp have been covered with miasma, and this time Master Benkong's urgent summons is because of this matter.
The head of the Kunlun faction, the Huoxin Daoist, frowned and said, "It's empty, but because of this rain, this miasma will be temporarily born?"
We were ambushed in the forest, and the Kunlun Sect and the Emei Sect were also obstructed by the Immortal Hall, and like us, their team was almost unharmed, and they were on a par with the Immortal Hall. Listening to what the Fire Heart Dao people said, the people of the Changshengtang they met were personally led by Fang Wenwen, followed by the two elders of black and white and many disciples of the White Tiger Altar and the Xuanwu Altar, which could be said to be the main force of the Immortal Hall. If it is a coincidence that we met in the woods, then it is also too coincidental in terms of numbers and strength of the two sides. The Five Sages of Kunlun and the head of the Emei faction, Guan Shuhui, are already an unstoppable force, plus with a good hand like Jiang Shun to follow, even if they encounter an ambush, they can deal with it calmly, but it is Fang Wenwen and others who stop them.
In this way, of course, it is not a coincidence that he was ambushed in the forest this time, it was a traitor among the seven major sects, otherwise Fang Wenwen would not have grasped the time so accurately, and even in terms of the manpower dispatched, there was little difference.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but secretly admire the essence of Fang Wen's strategy. The appearance of the fish-headed monster in the pool will definitely attract the attention of Master Benkong and Tianyi, and he has hundreds of disciples of the Immortal Hall standing on the edge of the waterhole with branches in their hands, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, so that Master Benkong and Tianyi will take it lightly, so that the two of them mistakenly think that they have no idea of the siege plan of Master Benkong. In this way, not only can we contain the positive forces of Master Primordial and Tianyi, but we can also safely deal with the bypass strategy of our two teams of men and horses in the forest.
Fang Wenwen did use a good plan, but the spy was even more powerful, and the speed with which he spread the news was simply unexpected, and it was hidden from all of us. The cause and effect of this matter are strung together, and most of us can guess that there is a traitor, but Master Benkong called us here, and until now, he has not mentioned anything about this matter.
Could it be that he already knew the identity of the spy in his heart? I shuddered and looked at the other people in the tent, all of whom had different expressions and their faces were sinking like water.
As soon as the words of the Fire Heart Daoist fell, Tianyi Chang said slowly: "Over the years, these miasma have only disappeared for three days, and after three days, it is the time when the miasma is rampant, and there is a gap of one day during the period, and those miasma will be born on such a large scale. He paused, looked at the Fireheart Daoist and said, "If that miasma can grow so big and so quickly overnight by rain, it is not possible." ā
The Fire Heart Daoist froze and frowned deeply. If, according to Yuanji, those miasma began to grow at night, and when we fought with the people of the Immortal Hall, there was only a gap of two or three hours in between, and besides, the surrounding woods were already vast, and those miasma could be so thick in two or three hours, it would have been too fast.
At this time, the head of the Emei faction, Guan Shuhui, said coldly: "With such a method, I'm afraid it's a ghost from the Immortal Hall!"
We were all shocked, and Fan Chunyang, who was sitting on a wooden bench next to him, said strangely: "What did the head of the family see?"
Guan Shuhui didn't smile on his face, and snorted: "Don't forget, everyone, this is the hometown of the Eternal Life Hall, and there are many people in the Eternal Life Hall who know the magic of witchcraft, Yang Zhixing only needs to send people to use some evil arts in the forest, so why is it difficult to make some blind spells? Hmph, it's ridiculous to do these senseless struggles when you are dying!"
That's a lot of money. The outer forest is so big that it takes half a day to just traverse and change, and it is extremely difficult to perform witchcraft in that forest and be able to induce such a miasma. However, this possibility cannot be ruled out.
Guan Shuhui blamed the Immortal Hall for this, it was also because of the poisoning and injury of his disciples, right? But what he said was approved by most of the people, and I couldn't help but wonder, if it was really the Immortal Hall's doing, then their situation would be even more dangerous, and there would be no way out without them compared to the Seven Great Sects.
At this time, a disciple of Shaolin Temple ran in, hugged his fist at Master Benkong and said, "Tell the abbot, they have rushed out of the Shenlong Cave again!"
What the!
We all stood up at once, and there was a commotion in the tent, and Master Benkong and Tianyi took the lead in snatching the tent with a long face. We also walked out of the big tent and looked towards the valley, and sure enough, we saw that the valley was damp and muddy, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and I don't know how many fish-headed monsters there were.
The sky was overcast and still drizzling, but it was already starting to lighten. They were still blocked at the mouth of the valley, and the mountain walls on both sides of the valley were only forty or fifty feet apart, but they did not dare to take half a step, and one by one they stretched out their heads and screamed hard at us.
Even though it was daytime, my heart couldn't help but beat wildly when I saw so many fish-headed monsters.
Master Benkong said in a deep voice: "All sects should hurry up and prepare to prevent these monsters from rushing out of the valley!"
After he finished speaking, he was about to return to the tent with Tianyi, at this time, another Shaolin Temple disciple hurriedly rushed over, and before the person came to us, the voice came quickly: "Abbot, it's not good, they rushed out of the pool!"
Almost as soon as the disciple's voice fell, a burst of killing shouts and a terrible scream suddenly erupted from the side of the pool, and the side of the pool was even more chaotic.
We all knew that there was a fish-headed monster in the pool, but everyone was still surprised to keep their mouths shut.
Master Benkong said loudly: "Quick, go and pick up the disciples at the edge of the pond quickly, don't let those monsters swim ashore!"
Saying that, he and Tianyi had already run towards the edge of the pond, and I and Su Qingyao and the others also ran over quickly. Behind us, a large group of disciples of various sects had drawn their long swords and followed.
As soon as I arrived at the edge of the pool, I saw that the edge of the pool was already in chaos, and the pool water was densely packed with a piece of fish heads, and I couldn't count how many there were.
As early as when the traces of the fish-headed monster were found in the waterhole, Master Benkong had sent hundreds of disciples of the Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect to take strict precautions everywhere around the pool, almost surrounding half of the waterhole. At this time, those Shaolin Temple disciples and Wudang Sect disciples were handing over with the fish-headed monster in the pool, and the killing sound shook the sky.
In the short time since we rushed over, quite a few fish-headed monsters had already rushed out of the pool. They swam slowly in the pool, and as soon as they came ashore, they were much faster.
Without allowing us to think too much, Master Benkong and the Heavenly Elders had already rushed towards the fish-headed monsters that had come ashore with angry shouts. I gritted my teeth, and followed closely with Su Qingyao and the brothers who didn't have many knives.
The place where we rushed over was relatively tight, and we saw three disciples of the Wu-Tang Sect fighting with two fish-headed monsters on the shore. A disciple of the Wu-Tang Sect was dealing with a fish-headed monster alone, and when we rushed over, one of his arms was being grabbed by the fish-headed monster, and the fish-headed monster's upper body was half higher than the person's body, and this grasp was like grabbing a chicken, as if trying to pull the person into the water.
The disciple of the Wudang Sect probably knew about our arrival, and when the fish-headed monster grabbed his arm, the long sword in his hand stabbed into the fish-headed monster's heart. The fish-headed monster let out a scream, raised its arms, and lifted the man up violently.
At the critical moment, I can't care so much anymore, and when I lift the internal qi in my body that has not yet recovered on the shadow chasing sword, I have to swing a sword qi. Who knows, when I raised my qi like this, the sword qi did not rush out of the blade, and there was a sense of powerlessness in my body.
This juncture has gone wrong, it's really a disaster, the inside of the body has not yet recovered, and now I can't even send out the sword qi.
The feeling of powerlessness in my body slowed my feet, and my running body almost fell, but the three eyes beside me swung a knife aura. The swift sword qi shot almost to the side of my body, hitting the fish-headed monster in the chest.
The lower half of the fish-headed monster was still stranded in the pool water, and after eating three eyes and a slap of knife qi, the thin scales on its chest exploded violently, revealing a striking knife edge and spurting out a pillar of blood. This seemed to provoke its ferocity, only to hear it let out another piercing scream, and leaned back, about to grab the Wudang Sect disciple and stab him into the waterhole.
By this time, we had already run under it, and I screamed, and as it turned to flee, I jumped at it, grabbing the arm of the Wudang sect disciple, and slashed at its elbow as it took off.
I had used all my strength to this sword, but I heard a "pop" sound, and the broken blade of the Shadow Chaser Sword was slashing at its elbow, almost slicing off half of its arm and drooping down. But the sword still failed to completely split its arm, and the fish-headed monster didn't stop at all, and with a turn of its body, it plunged into the waterhole, and the Wudang Sect disciple didn't even let out a scream, and was dragged into the waterhole.
There were already a lot of fish-headed monsters swimming by the waterhole, and as soon as the others were dragged into the water, more than a dozen fish-headed monsters seemed to be crazy, and they all rolled towards him. It was as if the puddle had exploded, and a splash and a circle of red blood poured out.
The other two Wudang Sect disciples shouted, and I, Su Qingyao, and Sanyan also shouted. Maybe that fish-headed monster dug out that disciple's heart and lungs in front of us, and we wouldn't do the same, but the invisible death made us even more frightened.
The disciples of the various sects behind him all rushed over.
We stood with the two disciples of the Wudang Sect, and in a semi-encircled manner, we surrounded another fish-headed monster, which had no emotions at all about the death of its companion, and was about to jump into us with his hands on the edge of the muddy pool. The two disciples of the Wudang Sect let out angry shouts again, and together with us, swords slashed straight at its head.
Three swords and a knife were slashed together, and the fish-headed monster did not dodge, as if in its eyes, it did not know what a sword was. With a few "poofs", the three-eyed broadsword and a sword of a Wudang sect disciple were slashing at its head, while my shadow chasing sword was a little shorter, only slashing at its shoulder, and the long sword of another Wudang sect disciple was pierced into its chest. A sword slashed at its head, no longer in its head, and the fish-headed monster's body shook, and when it fell, its right hand was caught with lightning speed.
It was undoubtedly the last struggle, but the attack was extremely fast, only to see that the Wudang Sect disciple on the far right was just about to dodge, but was grabbed by this fish-headed monster with one claw, his chest and clothes were torn, and the sharp fingertips left four shocking wounds on his chest.
The Wudang Sect disciple screamed and fell backwards. Three-Eyes and another Wu-Tang Sect disciple worked together to pick open the fish-headed monster's head, and the blood and brains cracked, splashing several of us, but its body squirmed and slid into the pool.
