Gu Shenwei raised his narrow knife and cut off a human head.

There was no immediate chaos as expected, and there was silence in the three earthen houses, as if there were no more enemies.

The moonlight fell, and the six teenagers stood still like statues, motionless, patiently waiting for the counterattack after the silence.

The enemy counterattack came suddenly, and the oasis seemed to be enchanted and eliminated, and everything that had been standing still came to life, and several figures jumped out of the door, window, and roof at the same time.

The killing race began.

The knife went in and out, the figure swayed, and attacked very quickly, and immediately jumped three steps away, and the people who fell seemed to be dumb, and no one shouted.

The killing began quietly and ended quietly, the magic returned, and everyone stood or crouched, standing still, like a group of marionettes, after a short but intense performance, losing the control of their masters.

There were eight corpses in total, and the teenagers won a big victory, and none of them were injured.

Assassination, because one side has the upper hand, is usually much simpler than a duel, and the people in the earthen house die by the knife before they even have time to show their martial prowess.

The final step is to check if there are any hidden live openings in the house.

Except for Liuhua, the others rushed into the three earthen houses respectively, Gu Shen was in charge of the middle room for himself, and as soon as he entered, he saw a person standing in the middle, he rushed up to attack, and fell into the ground.

Accidental assassinations are easy to succeed, but accidental traps are just as difficult to guard against.

Because of a sudden storm, the six teenagers broke into the enemy's weakly defended area, and no outsider had ever set foot in it until they raised their knives and slashed their necks.

And Gu Shenwei was also the first victim of that underground trap.

He didn't know what was going on in the other rooms, because as soon as he landed, the movable door above closed shut.

It was pitch black.

A finger poked in his chest, like an iron rod striking, Gu Shenwei flew upside down, hit the wall, and hurriedly rolled to the side to avoid the possible pursuit.

"Huh?" someone in the darkness screamed in surprise, Gu Shen stabbed a narrow knife for the sound, but it didn't hit, and the person was also very experienced, and immediately changed his position after accidentally making a sound.

In the dark underground space, two people waited for the opportunity, neither dared to act, holding their breath, knowing that their lives depended on how long they could remain quiet.

Gu Shenwei was at a disadvantage, he didn't know the size and shape of the trap, and he didn't know if the other party still had helpers, and the heat in the Xuanji cave was surging, and he was on the verge of going mad.

If he hadn't seen Xue Niang's head cut off by a "green-faced" assassin, he would have thought that she was the one poking himself in the dark.

He suddenly understood the origin of the black-robed women, they were all disciples of the Great Wilderness Gate, and they were the same as Xue Niang, Xue Niang's real name was Kang Wenmei, known as "Penetrating the Bone God Grasp", he should have thought of it a long time ago.

The martial arts of those black-robed women are not as good as hers, and they still wear steel thorns on their fingers, and the people in this underground secret room have finger strength that is almost the same as that of Xue Niang, and they don't need the help of sharp weapons.

In fact, the "Eight Desolation Finger Power" planted by Xue Niang in Gu Shenwei's body saved his life, and although the finger power entrenched in Xuanji's acupoint would cause him to go mad, it could also dissolve the internal strength of the same nature.

Gu Shenwei didn't have time to think about it so much, he held the narrow knife, his feet and left hand supported the ground, like a cat ready to jump up, but the preparation time was indeed longer.

It must have been a long time, and in the darkness everything seemed to have frozen, and even time had stopped, but he felt tightness in his chest, and knew that he had held his breath for too long.

The Turtle Breath Technique has relatively high requirements for internal strength, which is precisely Gu Shenwei's weakness, he can't compare to the invisible opponent in the secret room.

Once again, he turned to the words in the Nameless Sword Book for help, and so far, the Sword Book has helped him through difficulties and dangers many times.

If it's dark, what's the point of opening your eyes?

Gu Shenwei closed his eyes and tried to find and experience the so-called "qi" in the sword spectrum, the "life qi" that everyone has but can't see, hear, and can only understand.

was about to suffocate to death, and at the moment when he was about to give up, Gu Shenwei felt that there was something special in the secret room, which he couldn't describe or think, so he stabbed it out with a knife.

Something fell, Gu Shenwei also fell, his mind was blank, he was like in a strange dream, knowing that death was imminent, so he ordered himself to breathe quickly, but his chest was like being pressed by a boulder, unable to rise and fall.

A breath finally came in, Gu Shenwei sat up straight, and breathed heavily, greedy like a gluttony that had been hungry for three days.

The first thing he did was to try to recall what he had just felt and find a way to discover "qi", but to no avail.

All the moves and methods in the nameless sword book cannot be practiced, and can only be explored and comprehended in practice, Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl have long found that only by killing people can the sword technique make progress, otherwise, it is meaningless to practice those moves no matter how familiar they are.

The enemy is dead, and Gu Shenwei can no longer find the feeling just now, so he can only wait for the next crisis.

This is the most difficult way to practice swords in the world, and one mistake can cost you your life.

Gu Shenwei groped in the darkness step by step, and finally came across the corpse, and found the fire fold in its arms, lit a faint fire, and still couldn't see anything clearly.

He lit the corpse's clothes, and the fire was blazing.

It was a small secret room, with a half-human-high passage at one end, like the mouth of a monster, and a wooden door at the top of the head.

The corpse was a woman, the wound was located between the throats, there was not much blood, and she died almost immediately, which was more perfect than Gu Shenwei's previous killings.

Gu Shenwei jumped upwards and tried a few times, but found that the wooden door was extremely strong and could not be pushed open at all.

The flames were devouring the woman's hair and skin, and the light was getting dimmer and dimmer.

The others had not come to the rescue, so it was useless to shout, Gu Shen burrowed into the dark passage for the cat's waist, raised the narrow knife in front of him, and moved forward cautiously.

To his relief, the passage was not very long, and pushing open the wooden door, he returned to the desert, turning his head to see that it was not far from the oasis.

Back in front of the three earthen houses, eight bodies were still lying in place, but the killers were all gone.

Gu Shenwei inspected the other two earthen houses, knocked all over the ground, and found no traps.

He was abandoned? Gu Shenwei didn't believe it.

It was about to dawn, Gu Shenwei searched carefully around the earthen house, and first found Liuhua's three sets of bows and crossbows, the arm crossbows had been opened, and they had not yet been released, so he put them all away.

Then he finally found strange footprints, the footprints were shallow and messy, the point was that there were more than a dozen steps between the two footprints, as if several giants with small feet and long legs were walking.

Unless these people are jumping forward.

Gu Shenwei immediately thought of those black-robed women, who were jumping strangely like this when they approached their target.

Following these footprints, Gu Shenwei returned to the place where they had been hiding during the day.

The camels were all dead, and what little dry food they had left was soaked in blood and covered with grains of sand, and the water bladders were pierced and the water was drained.

In order to pack up a few pieces of blood-stained dry food that could still be eaten, Gu Shen used a mostly complete water bladder to collect some water and began to track the trip.

Footprints came and went, and sometimes he had to go around in a great circle to find the next step, which wasted a lot of time, and he went into the depths of the desert, and after a whole day he turned a corner, and went south again into the wilderness, from where the footprints became normal, no longer jumping, and there were more footsteps of several other people.

The partners were still alive, and there were only three hijackers in total, so Gu Shenwei accelerated the chase.

These three people are all masters, Gu Shenwei thought to himself, he has eaten up the dry food, there is still a little clear water left, thinking has become a means of enduring hunger, if even the lotus girl and the wild horse become prisoners without defense, he is not an opponent, it is very strange that these three hijackers did not try to catch the last teenager, and just left.

Based on what Zhang Ji and Fang Wen said, as well as what he had seen and heard, Gu Shenwei judged that the Great Wilderness Gate and Jinpeng Fort must have been closely related in the past, and even the martial arts of the two sides were similar, and the jumping light skills of the black-robed woman were almost the same as those of the "blue-faced" assassin.

When he drank the last drop of water, Gu Shenwei suddenly realized that the three hijackers were not necessarily strong in martial arts, they may have used drugs, and they were the same as Jinpeng Castle's methods.

Gu Shenwei traveled day and night, and in the early morning of the fourth day, crossing a small stream, drinking enough water, he climbed a slope and saw the southern mountains, which were one of the branches of the Tianshan Mountains, and if he walked west along it, he could return to Biyu City, but his footprints were more and more eastward.

That evening, he finally caught up with the hijackers.

The target lived in a courtyard that looked like another stronghold of the Great Wilderness Gate, only on a larger scale and much more heavily defended, with outposts in ambush miles away.

Gu Shenwei did not startle the snake, but hid and thought about how to save people.

It is definitely not possible to break hard, his swordsmanship can only deal with one or two people, and any more will be dangerous.

Assassination is also unreliable, a killer has limited ability, not to mention that the other party is also good at assassination, and he will not be allowed to succeed easily.

On the treetops of the moon, Gu Shenwei bypassed the stronghold of the Great Wilderness Gate, sneaked quietly, and grabbed ahead of the hijackers.

This was not the final destination of the hijackers, and after four days of tracking, he had figured out the route of the other party, and roughly guessed that they would eventually enter the mountains.

On the day of the fourth watch, he came across a small river, the water was fast, and he quickly found a suitable place for the river, and found a grassy path leading to it.

This is where the hijackers must pass to move on.

Gu Shenwei began to lay out the trap, the only things he had at hand were a narrow knife, a dagger, and three sets of bows and crossbows, and he spent an hour practicing the skillful use of the arm crossbow, and it took a while to erase the traces of his actions.

The next thing is to wait, the killer always has to wait, and Gu Shenwei remembers how much he hates this.

He had to kill three masters of the Great Wilderness Gate in one fell swoop.
