Chapter 7: The Black Robe
As we went deeper, the jungle became denser and the trees grew taller and taller, and the daylight gradually dimmed, and the view of the forest became darker and darker.
Zhao Dongli stared at the mastiff in front of him with his eyes, he didn't know if he had run for dozens of miles or a hundred miles, looking at the sky, he had been chasing for three hours.
Along the way, Zhao Dongli didn't see a single beast, and he didn't hear a bird's call. Although it was in the midst of an uninterrupted pursuit, this strange situation was still brewing in Zhao Dongli's heart, if it weren't for Lin Wanqing, Zhao Dongli would definitely turn around and leave, but unfortunately there was no if.
If it weren't for the consummation of the Tongli realm, Zhao Dongli would definitely not be able to chase so many roads in a row, although the internal force was still being generated, but Zhao Dongli's energy was very tired.
It's a contest of willpower.
Suddenly, a stream appeared in front of him, and the mastiff waded through the water and continued to move forward, with Zhao Dongli also following. At this time, it was completely dark, and the mastiff dog was still moving forward, but Zhao Dongli couldn't keep up, because his vision was not good, it was easy to hit the tree, so he could only open his eyes and try to stare at the road ahead.
When passing through a bush, Zhao Dongli suddenly saw a little light looming on the right side, and he was in good spirits, and finally chased after him.
But to his surprise, the mastiff did not stop at all, but still ran in the same direction. Zhao Dongli hurriedly whispered, "Woo!" The mastiff didn't seem to hear it, but still galloped away.
At this moment, Zhao Dongli was faced with a dilemma, whether to believe that the light on the right was the place where the gangsters who robbed Lin Wanqing gathered, or to continue to follow the mastiff.
He paused, but turned to the right and slowly approached. He still trusted his instincts.
The bright light looked very close, which made Zhao Dong take a lot of time to leave, after all, the gangster was in front, and if he didn't make a sound, it would be easy to be heard.
It took a quarter of an hour for Zhao Dongli to get closer, and he found that in front of him was the entrance to a valley, and from inside there were faint human voices. Afraid that someone was guarding Taniguchi, he cautiously walked around the side of the cat, and to his surprise, there was no one in Taniguchi. He crouched down and walked to the mouth of the valley, found a large tree in a good position, climbed it, and looked into the valley.
At this moment, the moon has climbed the night sky, illuminating the earth, inside is a valley with a radius of dozens of zhang, there is a pool in the middle of the valley, there is a hot spring gushing out in the pool, and the heat is overflowing. On the open space next to the pond, a three-zhang square platform was built with mud. Around the platform, dozens of torches are lit, and this light is the light emitted by the torches.
Through the bright moonlight and torches shining from the sky, Zhao Dongli saw the situation inside clearly.
On the platform, there were twelve wooden stakes, each of which had a person tied to it, all of them were in a coma with their heads lowered, Zhao Dongli checked them one by one, but found that these people were not tall, and they looked like minors, these young boys and girls were similar in shape, because they all lowered their heads, but they couldn't identify Lin Wanqing, but Lin Wanqing's dress was very familiar, and he found her after a sweep.
found Lin Wanqing, Zhao Dongli breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he had not yet reached the irretrievable bottom cloth. That's when he had time to observe other things.
Around the platform, there were more than a dozen warriors with fierce bodies and fierce expressions, all holding ice blades in their hands, staring at a black-robed guest in the center of the platform.
This is the only person on the platform who is not tied, Zhao Dongli guessed that this black-robed guest wanted to be the leader.
On top of the black robe, there are some gold threads embroidered, the black robe swings in the wind, the gold thread flashes with the black robe, and it is vaguely a strange creature, with a triangular head and a horse-faced lion body. The whole head was covered in a black robe, and there was no appearance in sight.
He exuded a mysterious and seductive aura all over his body, attracting everyone's attention, Zhao Dongli glanced at it twice, and found that his mind seemed to be all invested in her.
In the valley deep into the ancient forest, he grabbed twelve young boys and girls and tied them to the platform, obviously not for simple killing or extortion of property, which made Zhao Dongli have a bad association.
Could it be some kind of cult that uses living people to sacrifice to their gods?!
Suddenly, a rough voice came from the field, breaking the silence in the field: "I am far from the immortals, I don't know what is missing from this memorial?"
The black-robed woman smiled strangely, and said in a charming voice: "Ding Dazhai is a good host, and there is one last little thing left to do before the time comes." ”
It turned out that this black-robed strange man was a woman with a surname of Li, but why was she called 'Shangxian'? Will there be such a position as Shangxian in the cult? Zhao Dongli couldn't help but secretly ponder and speculate indiscriminately.
The person known as the master of Ding Dazhai, that is, the person who opened his mouth to ask questions, stepped forward and asked, "What is this last thing?"
"Invite that guest from the Taniguchi tree!" said the black-robed woman with a smile.
Not good, it was discovered, Zhao Dongli was taken aback, hurriedly got down from the tree, hid in the dark, and retreated sharply behind him. There are so many martial artists, it is not something that he can do with a person in the Tongli Realm, and there is also a mysterious black-robed woman, with the awe in the eyes of these dozen martial artists, at least she has the strength of the high-level of the Enlightenment Realm.
As soon as the black-robed woman's words fell, all the martial artists in the field moved their eyes over, although Zhao Dongli's speed was already fast, but there were still a few people who saw him descending the tree. The lord of Ding Dazhai secretly said that he must have gone to Zou County to kidnap people's subordinates to do things carelessly, so that people could keep up, but this Lishang Immortal could not doubt their ability to do things.
With a wave of his hand, three people rushed out of the crowd and rushed towards the valley mouth with him.
Zhao Dongli was in a hurry, and took the time to look back, and the leading Ding Dazhai master came out very fast, and he had already knocked down the valley mouth in three or two steps. Compared with the speed of the two sides, Zhao Dongli definitely couldn't escape, so he could only escape by taking advantage of the darkness in the woods.
He threw himself behind a tree, and with the help of the trunk, he quickly grabbed a few stones on the ground, and went out with his hands in all directions in the air. The stones swept over the branches and branches and leaves, making a "rustling" sound, taking advantage of the cover of this sound, Zhao Dongli found a tree, climbed up, held his breath, and hid in the tree. Looking at the speed of the master of Ding Dazhai, it is obvious that he is a martial artist in the realm of enlightenment, and Zhao Dongli is not very confident in fighting head-to-head, especially since the other party still has helpers, so he can only find an opportunity to sneak attack this person and injure him, so that he can escape smoothly.
Zhao Dongli hid well, and the owner of Ding Dazhai had already broken into the woods, but due to the noise of the branches, he lost the trace of Zhao Dongli, so he stopped, pricked up his ears, and listened to the sound in the woods by himself, but he got nothing.
After a while, the other three people also arrived, and the master of Ding Dazhai made gestures, and the three of them formed a fan shape and spread out to the surroundings. And the master of Ding Dazhai slowly searched from the middle road, and gradually, he approached the big tree where Zhao Dongli was hiding.
Zhao Dongli secretly used his internal strength, poured the internal qi into the short knife in his hand, and quietly waited for the master of Ding Dazhai to enter the best ambush position.
Close, Zhao Dongli held his breath and was about to jump off.
The voice of a black-robed woman came from the air: "The guest is coming down." “
The lord of Ding Dazhai raised his head suddenly, just in time to see the black shadow formed by Zhao Dongli leaning out, he laughed fiercely, kicked his legs, and the dead branches and fallen leaves flew sideways, and he rushed straight up, its momentum was so fierce, it was the first time Zhao Dongli saw it in his life.
Zhao Dongli wanted to escape from the side of the trunk to avoid the meteor-like attack of the master of Ding Dazhai, but he suddenly found that he had been locked by an invisible aura.
For today's plan, there is only hard work, so Zhao Dongli no longer hesitates and leans down.
Sonor!
In an instant, the blades were handed over, and the two of them suddenly joined and separated, and fell to the ground in turn.
As soon as Zhao Dongli landed, he staggered two steps before he stood firm, and when the blade was handed over, he only felt that an internal force was transmitted from the blade, and under the vigorous impact, the tiger's mouth immediately cracked, blood collapsed, and the short knife almost escaped.
On the other hand, the owner of Ding Dazhai did not go well.
At this moment, the other three warriors immediately surrounded him, and when he was about to close the siege, the lord of Ding Dazhai raised his left hand, and these three warriors immediately stood still and surrounded Zhao Dongli.
Ding Dazhai said with a smile: "I didn't expect our guests to be so young!
Zhao Dongli clenched the short knife tightly, silent, but his expression was resolute, this was the first time he had fought to the death with a martial artist of the Open Mind Realm, and he had obviously fallen into a disadvantage, even if there was no reminder from the black-robed woman, his sneak attack would not be able to hurt this Ding Dazhai master.
Seeing that Zhao Dong didn't reply, the owner of Ding Dazhai felt a little bored, so he said: "Just grab it obediently! “
Zhao Dongli said: "It's you who should be arrested, and soon this place will be surrounded by the Canglong Gang, and none of you people can escape." “
Lord Ding Dazhai's eyes were cold, and he didn't say much, which was exactly what he was worried about. He wasn't worried about the Canglong Gang in a small county town. As the leader of the robbers in Yuzhou, he has already opened the four tricks, and there are second-order martial artists under him, even if the entire gang of the Canglong Gang comes, it will not make the lord of Ding Dazhai afraid.
What he was afraid of was that these people would interfere with the memorial that would be held by the Leaving Immortals, and when he thought of the Leaving Immortals, a burst of fear flashed in his heart, there really were such people in Great Xia. He just wanted to finish this errand in peace, and not to make Shangxian angry.
Thinking of this, his eyes narrowed, and he lunged forward.
At the same time, Zhao Dongli felt like he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and the chill swept through his body, and a strange aura covered him again.
Facing it head-on, he felt the horror of the opposite side again, in his feeling, the opposite side was like a fierce tiger, enveloping his whole body, pounced, so that Zhao Dongli couldn't raise the idea of dodging, so he could only raise his knife and resist.
Money!
Another impact, this will not be borrowed from the top down, Zhao Dongli was directly knocked away, a strong force acted on his body, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, fell to the ground, and was already injured not lightly.
He was about to carry his injuries, and when he turned over, several warriors on the side had rushed up at the same time, one held Zhao Dongli's head, and the other two grabbed Zhao Dongli's hands and feet respectively.
Zhao Dongli struggled to break free. The master of Ding Dazhai jumped up, "clicked" twice, and simply broke Zhao Dongli's legs.
The sharp pain rushed straight to Zhao Dongli's nerves, Zhao Dongli bit his lip, didn't say a word, his bones were broken, and it was impossible to escape anymore, so he also gave up struggling.
The lord of Ding Dazhai smiled and said, "Boy, let's talk about how many people will come back later." ”
Zhao Dongli twisted his mouth and didn't say a word.
The lord of Ding Dazhai roared: "You don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink." ”
Suddenly, the voice of a black-robed woman came from the air again: "Bring him here." ”
