Chapter 25: The Gorge is Missing

There was a sudden silence at the scene.

Before this, no one expected that Shi Xiaole, who was silent, would really defeat Zhao Deming, who was not famous for his reputation.

The most amazing thing is that after the previous battle, everyone can clearly see that Shi Xiaole only has the cultivation of the fifth level of hidden qi.

Picking up the candle, Shi Xiaole turned to look at everyone, the meaning is obvious, if any of you want to make candles, just come up and try it.

No one stepped forward.

"Okay, thank you for a wonderful duel today, come and tell the bookkeeper, but all the heroes who are not admitted can each withdraw twenty taels of silver as a reward. In addition, the medical expenses of the heroes present are also fully responsible for the Zhang family. ”

Zhang Yuanshan is very good at being a man, and after a statement, the only remaining resentment in the heart of the failed master has disappeared.

After some busy work, everyone went back to their homes, leaving only Shi Xiaole and ten people to stay at the scene.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come with Zhang. ”

Zhang Yuanshan led the way.

After a while, the group came to the hall and sat down, and after ordering the subordinates to set up the tea, Zhang Yuanshan said: "Ten heroes, Zhang doesn't want to deceive you, this time to go to the Thousand Poison Mountain is dangerous, if you want to quit, it's still too late." ”

"Zhang Yuanwai said with a smile, I am waiting for people in the rivers and lakes, a promise, if we retreat, how will we mix in the future?"

The rough man Dong Chengwu said loudly.

The rest of the people also expressed their positions.

Zhang Yuan had a different color outside, and said: "The little girl is seriously ill, this time in order to save time, Zhang decided to never see the gorge and rush directly to the Thousand Poison Mountain." ”

"What?!"

As soon as they heard this, the faces of the few people who had been beating their chests loudly suddenly changed greatly. Flying on the grass, Sun Ting jumped up directly.

I don't see the gorge, which means that I will never see it.

It is a very narrow valley, and due to the uneven slope, huge rocks often fall down, making it extremely difficult to pass.

However, what is really scary is that the Missing Gorge is the territory of the cave mountain group. In the past ten years, few of the people who have walked into the rivers and lakes have been able to walk out intact.

The government also sent soldiers and horses to clean up, but unfortunately they all failed, and it is said that the group of gangsters secretly gave a big gift, so it was over.

"Zhang Yuanwai, you are not kind, this matter is not explained in the notice. ”

Sun Ting quit, a little annoyed and angry.

What are you kidding, the Dongshan group of gangsters is a very famous group of bandits on the nearby rivers and lakes.

It is said that the mountain lord Golden Dragon Dao Zhou Xiong is a master of the ninefold peak of Tibetan Qi, and the two deputy mountain masters are also the eightfold peak cultivators of Tibetan Qi. Coupled with the rest of those murderous maniacs, even ordinary Qi Realm masters don't want to get benefits, let alone them?

Among the people present, Dong Chengwu, the strongest, was only in the middle stage of the Ninth Layer of Tibetan Qi.

Originally, if you want to enter the Thousand Poison Mountain, it is already difficult, but now with one more Missing Gorge, this time it is simply a death mission.

No wonder, no wonder the Zhang family gave such a generous reward.

The faces of the people were not good-looking.

It was Shi Xiaole, who had been prepared for this because of the reminder of the system task.

"Alas, if Zhang Mou said that he planned to cross the Invisible Gorge, it would be more difficult for us to pass when the Dongshan group was prepared. ”

Zhang Yuanshan gave an irrefutable reason, this damn profiteer.

"That's it, since he took over this deal, unless there is a real danger to his life, Dong will never leave with his hands in check. ”

Dong Chengwu is still the first to make a statement.

Of course, he didn't say anything to death, indicating that once he found out that the cave mountain group was invincible, he would leave immediately.

"It is said that the cave mountain group is powerful, and Wang really wants to see it. ”

Wang Yangming was young and vigorous, smiled faintly, and glanced at Sun Ting with disdain.

The other people are also old rivers and lakes, with the same plans as Dong Chengwu, so they are also determined to stay.

As for Shi Xiaole, he is the one who can't go the most out of ten.

Zhang Yuanwai was overjoyed, patted the handrail and said: "Okay! Zhang has set up a banquet, please rest well, let's set off early tomorrow morning." ”

After the dinner, Shi Xiaole originally wanted to go to see her aunt, but she thought that she would leave tomorrow, and if her aunt asked, she would be worried, so she simply decided to wait until she came back.

Shi Xiaole also considered that he was indeed a little too impulsive when he took on the task this time. If it is really not feasible at that time, you can only leave and accept the punishment of the system.

Nothing happened overnight.

Before dawn on the second day, the Zhang family and his party were ready to go.

Shi Xiaole and ten people each mounted horses and surrounded a carriage. There were fifty guards from the Zhang family in the front and back of the team, staring at the surroundings from time to time.

In the carriage, there were Zhang Yuanshan and Miss Zhang's family.

The group quickly left Feiyan City and walked into the official road.

Two days later, everyone entered the green mountains, and after another half a day, a strange terrain finally appeared in front of them.

It was a long, deep mountain range with a height of 100 meters. Each side has an unusually steep slope from the bottom to the top, and the middle part is so narrow that it looks like an inverted trapezoid.

That is the Missing Gorge that is regarded by many people in the rivers and lakes as poisonous insects and beasts.

Shi Xiaole's heart slowly sank.

Just by looking at the terrain, he could not imagine how dangerous the gorge was.

If it is a march to fight, as long as you ambush good people on both sides of the gorge, whether it is shooting arrows or pushing stones, you can easily bury the incoming army.

To put it bluntly, even if the Dongshan group is a group of ordinary people, as long as they plan well, they can almost take advantage of the terrain of the invisible gorge and pit their group of people to death in the gorge.

The other nine people obviously thought of it too, and their faces became more and more ugly one by one.

Even Wang Yangming, who was clamoring to slaughter the Cave Mountain and eliminate the harm for the rivers and lakes, is as constipated at the moment.

"Dong Daxia, do you have any suggestions?"

Among the ten people, Dong Chengwu was faintly the leader, Zhang Yuanshan lifted the carriage curtain and asked heavily.

Dong Chengwu thought for a while and said, "You might as well send a few people to investigate the situation first, and it will be convenient for me to wait for a plan." ”

Zhang Yuanshan nodded and waved his hand to order someone to do the same.

After a few Zhangjia nursing homes quietly left, everyone settled here, planning to wait for someone to come back.

Unexpectedly, this is an hour, and those Zhang family nursing homes have not returned for a long time.

"Something must have happened to them. ”

Dong Chengwu gritted his teeth and called Sun Ting, and the two took advantage of the gradually emerging night to go towards the Invisible Gorge. Soon, they brought back several headless corpses that had been riddled with a rain of arrows.

The cries came and went.

Those Zhang family nurses were all pale with fright. Where had they seen such a terrible scene?

The louder screams came from inside the carriage, which should have been made by the young lady of the Zhang family, who had never shown up.

"Amitabha, this group of bandits, the murderous intent is too heavy. ”

Among the ten guards, the monk twisted a string of beads with a look of compassion on his face.

Dong Chengwu muttered: "This is the warning of the Dongshan group, if we dare to enter the Invisible Gorge, the end will be the same as these brothers." ”

"I don't understand why we can't send someone over to negotiate? ”

The young woman in red asked coldly.

Zhang had already tried, but unfortunately he was rejected by the Dongshan group. They said that Zhang was not qualified to negotiate with them, and that they liked the feeling of killing and plundering. ”

These words are tantamount to shattering the last trace of hope for a peaceful settlement by everyone.

Dong Chengwu said: "In this way, tomorrow, a few masters will lead the Zhang family into the Invisible Gorge and lead out the group, and Dong will lead another part of the people to bypass the rear to kill the enemy, and we should cooperate inside and outside." ”

The young woman in red smiled and said: "Dong Daxia's clever plan, but why are you leading people from the rear, hehe." ”

Compared to entering the Missing Gorge, it is obviously more than a little safer to detour.

Dong Chengwu asked the opinions of several other people.

They can't think of a good solution, of course they are in favor of it. The only difference is that no one wants to enter the Lost Gorge tomorrow, and they all want to copy the enemy's rear.

When asked about Shi Xiaole, Shi Xiaole simply said: "I don't think Dong Daxia's plan is feasible." ”

Everyone looked at him in surprise, even Zhang Yuanshan was no exception.

Dong Chengwu said lightly: "Could it be that Shi Shaoxia has a better way? ”

"The cave mountain group knows the terrain well, and a detour is not a good way, so we'd better wait before we act. ”

"Wait, you can afford to wait, Miss Zhang can't afford to wait. Shi Shaoxia, since he has been entrusted by others, he can't be greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

Dong Chengwu said mockingly.

Afraid that the two would quarrel, everyone hurriedly persuaded them.

In the end, under some consultation, Dong Chengwu, the young woman in red, Wang Yangming, Sun Ting, and the white-haired old man will lead people to copy the enemy's rear road, while Shi Xiaole and a few people will be responsible for entering the Invisible Gorge and attracting firepower.

Shi Xiaole glanced at Dong Chengwu and did not speak.

Although he didn't approve of the other party's strategy in his heart, it was not good to pick on him directly, and he could only act at the opportunity when the time came.

The night passed quickly.

Early the next morning, Shi Xiaole and his party entered the Lost Gorge with great fanfare.

The group walked halfway, and when they were not moving forward, a group of figures suddenly appeared on the cliffs on both sides, holding bows and arrows, and shot at the team.

Arrows rained down, and soon, in the midst of screams, the Zhang family's nursing home died one after another.

"Shit, these goddamn bandits!"

The man with the hoe on his back wielded his hoe and kept sweeping away the rain of arrows.

Everyone followed the plan and retreated, hoping that Dong Chengwu's gang would kill the enemy quickly.

However, on the cliff at this moment, Dong Chengwu and his party fell into the plan of the Dongshan group, and they could not outflank them, but were outflanked.

A one-eyed man was holding a golden big knife, and in the laughter, Dong Chengwu, who had always been known for his momentum and knife strength, was embarrassed.

There are also two other Kou leaders, whose strength is obviously higher than the others, and they still have the upper hand in the battle against Wang Yangming and the young woman in red.

These three people are the mountain masters of the Dongshan group, the Golden Dragon Sword Zhou Xiong, and the two deputy mountain masters.

As for the other nearly 100 bandits, they surrounded Sun Ting, the white-haired old man, and the Zhang family's nursing home.

In the difficult battle, the Zhang family nursing home was almost dead.

Although Sun Ting and the white-haired old man destroyed many enemies, they were also injured in the siege, and finally found an opportunity to turn around and run immediately.

"Withdraw!"

Dong Chengwu's eyes were red, but he also knew that the momentum was wrong, so he had to break through with Wang Yangming and the young woman in red, like a lost dog.

"Big brother, you are really famous!"

The battle stopped, and a deputy mountain lord gave Zhou Xiong a thumbs up.

"A group of fools, with their own shortcomings, attack my strengths. Hmph, second brother and third brother, you two take a short rest, immediately lead someone to chase them out, and be sure to kill that group. ”

The one-eyed man smiled coldly, with a bloodthirsty taste on his face.
