Chapter 514: The Man in Black
As I'm used to. I would never have rushed forward until the retreat was unblocked, but now I had to change this practice, because my time could not be wasted, and secondly, the status quo at this time did not allow me to look forward to the future.
"Why doesn't the monkey set itself on fire when it plucks it?"
I squinted at the Vajra Cannon and didn't answer his question, at this time I already felt the weakness of my limbs, and my eyes were sparkling, as if every time I opened my mouth, I would lose a trace of residual vitality, in this case I naturally didn't bother to answer the nonsense of the Vajra Cannon.
"It's not a real phoenix, and being reborn from the ashes will weaken its cultivation. Moreover, it is not willing to burn so many ancient oracle bones. Murong Chasing Wind replied.
"Xiao Jiu, you have done your best, if we are not sure of victory, let's withdraw for the time being, the valley where Candle Jiuyin is located, we can take a detour from the narrow place. Murong Chaifeng paused for a long time and spoke. The deep valley of the poisonous water where Candle Jiuyin is located also tends to be wide on the left and narrow on the right, and Murong Chasing the Wind means that we can borrow strength from the stone wall on one side to sweep back to the opposite bank from the narrow place.
Her words made my heart feel cold again, although what she said was from her heart, but there was also a hint of dissatisfaction in it, my recent attitude towards King Kong Cannon was quite bad, not only did I not bother to take care of him, but I also kicked him down in front of everyone before, these Murong Chasing Feng are all in her eyes, although she doesn't say anything on the surface, but King Kong Cannon is her husband after all, I treat him like this, Murong Chasing Wind must be uncomfortable in his heart. In her opinion, the reason why I have a bad attitude towards King Kong Cannon is because I feel an imbalance in my heart, or that I have a sense of fear and regret after going through many dangerous levels.
"Sixth Senior Sister, do you think I'm going to quit?" I turned my expression to look at Murong Chaifeng. I didn't mean to blame Murong Chasing the wind, my previous mood did fluctuate very much, and everyone would wonder if I regretted it and cowered.
Murong Chaifeng groaned for a long time after hearing my words, and finally didn't speak, but just reached out and patted my back.
Her action took away the coolness in my heart, in fact, the reason why Murong Chaifeng kept calling me Xiao Jiu was not because I ranked last among the nine sons of Ziyang, but in her previous life, she was nearly twenty years older than me, and in ancient times, eighteen years old was a generation gap, so Murong Chaifeng has always been merciful and caring for me, a little junior brother who has gone through a lot of hardships before entering the mountain gate, even now, Murong Chaifeng has always been tolerant and indulgent with me and King Kong Cannon as a sister.
Recalling all the past, my heart was turbulent, but even so, I still didn't say anything, and my words were too shallow.
Soon the four of them came to the stone gate of the checkpoint, and I stretched out my aura and pressed the knocking brick straight down. This level cannot be hesitated, even if the tomb protection beast inside is powerful, we have to bite the bullet.
I don't care about whether the tomb beast in the level is ferocious, but whether it will take the initiative to open the stone door, this stone door we dare not destroy no matter what, because it is our life talisman, and the broken stone door will make us have nowhere to hide from the ensuing flames.
"Once the stone door is opened, use the Transfiguration Technique to enter immediately, and don't land on the ground after entering. As I waited, I spoke to the three of them.
The three of them frowned in unison, but finally nodded in agreement. Although they were all frowning, their inner thoughts were definitely different, and Ye Aofeng's frown was reluctant to let go of the two mercenaries he left. Murong Chaifeng frowned because she was lamenting the ruthlessness of my approach, because she had already seen that I would sacrifice Lin Yicheng and the mercenaries if necessary. And the frown of King Kong Cannon may be out of puzzlement, he doesn't understand why I, who have always been cautious, would be so reckless this time.
To be sure, these mercenaries have been fighting together for so long with my own perimity, and I am not willing to sacrifice them. I have known Lin Yicheng and Mei Zhu for a longer time, and I feel very uncomfortable watching them wait for death, but compared with King Kong Cannon and Murong Chasing Feng, they can all be abandoned, and I can even give them up, let alone them.
Fortunately, the four of them didn't have to wait long for the stone door to open, and the time between pressing the knock brick and opening the stone door was the shortest among all levels, less than three minutes.
The dull sound sounded as wonderful to me at the moment. The stone door did not open quickly, and the left and right doors opened at the same time. Before the stone gate was opened for people to enter, I quickly turned my head to look at the three people beside me, I first looked at Murong Chasing Feng, then Ye Aofeng, and finally King Kong Cannon.
I see that their order is the order in which everyone enters the level, and I am naturally the first to bear the brunt, Murong Chasing the Wind's sleeve dance is fast, and her second entry can help me deal with emergencies, Ye Aofeng is not a trustworthy object, so let King Kong Cannon look at him from the end.
The stone gate finally opened to a narrow gap, and when I saw this, I hurriedly shook my body and rushed in, and everyone followed.
After entering the level, my first feeling is emptiness, the whole level is empty, this level is very similar to the first level, the top of the level has a bronze dragon claw grasping the night pearl hanging lighting, the four walls and the ground are paved with bluestone, in addition to the level in the middle of the half-kneeling a man in a short black robe, peek at its breath, and find that it also does not belong to humans. And what I guessed earlier was not wrong, it is also the true peak of purple qi.
The man who transformed into a beast was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in a black cloth robe and fitted with a shirt, and held a spear in his hand, which was black all over, extremely sharp but not metal. The man's face was handsome and terrifying, and it was said to be handsome because its facial contours were very much in line with the standards of a beautiful man, and it was said to be terrifying because its face was covered with wounds of various lengths, the longest of which stretched from the left eyebrow to the right cheek, several inches long, and it was worthy of blinding the eyes.
The man in black didn't show any surprise when he saw us quickly dodge in, but just stood up from a half-kneeling position, and as he stood, the sound of the stone door opening came suddenly, and he didn't need to look back to know that the stone door had stopped opening.
The man in black stood up and raised his eyebrows at us, his expression grim and did not move, and my eyes moved to it after scanning the position where it knelt to determine the two black bricks under his feet that were in charge of opening and closing the stone door.
After the man in black stood up, I visually measured that his height should be between 1.76 and 1.8 meters, the short black robe on his body was very flattering, and I could clearly see that his body was neither fat nor thin, and he was stepping on a pair of silk platform boots, which were also black, and the size was between 25 and 27. Overall, this is a man who doesn't have anything special, but I know that this person is a great person.
There is a reason why I make such a judgment, because people's stature often determines the direction of a person's future development, and people who are not tall are often intellectually superior to ordinary people, and this kind of person can be a country. Tall people usually make breakthroughs in physical strength, and such people can be pioneers. Medium-sized people are likely to have both. The man in black was undoubtedly like that.
In addition, it wears a full body of black, and the black of the Qin Dynasty is equivalent to the yellow of the later period, which is not qualified for ordinary people to wear, which indicates that it has a noble status in the Qin Dynasty.
Although the black spear in its hand is similar to Tong Ge, the spear lacks a barb compared to Tong Ge, and the function of the barb is generally used to pull the chariot in ancient times, and the use of a spear by the man in black also indicates that it is not an ordinary soldier.
What makes me feel the most pressure is the scars on its face, the scars are of different lengths and widths, and I naturally will not be intimidated by a few scars, which is like a real daring person who will not be intimidated by the tattoos on the rogues, what makes me feel stressed is the asymmetry between the weapons it uses and the scars on its face.
As we all know, one inch is long and one inch is strong, one inch is short and one inch is dangerous, and people who use long weapons are best at attacking from a distance, and usually do not allow the other party to get close to them. The man in black has so many scars on his face that it is unreasonable, and the more reasonable explanation is that he is not afraid of death when fighting the enemy, and in order to kill the enemy, he can let the opponent get close and control the enemy to death at a relatively small cost.
Of course, there is another terrifying explanation, that is, after its spear penetrated the opponent, the opponent still did not die, but endured the serious wound of the spear through the chest, and tried to kill it at close range with the spear, but in the end he died of exhaustion and failed. If this hypothesis is true, then two problems are derivedly verified, one is that the man in black is a dangerous person, and many people want to put it to death, and the other is that the man in black is very confident in his own strength, and he is confident to the extreme.
The man in black was looking at us at the same time as I looked at it, its gaze quickly swept over everyone, and finally stopped on me, I looked at it proudly, the man in black was not afraid at all, stared at me coldly, I didn't speak, it didn't speak.
The man in black stared at me for a long time, the expression on his face gradually changed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised to reveal a slight smile.
This smile is naturally not an expression of goodwill, it laughs because it is happy that it has met an opponent, and to put it bluntly, it has met an opponent who is worthy of its hands.
"Old Yu?" King Kong Cannon was standing beside me at the moment, and the two of them had been together for a long time, and from his tone I knew that his intention was to ask me if I was going to shoot.
"Go out and bring Lin Yicheng and them in. I shook my head. The reason why I don't agree to shoot is not because I want to fight the man in black alone, but I am not sure that shooting can kill it, in case of failure, the man in black will attack by any means, and it will probably not be the first to attack me at that time, this is what I am most worried about, this level does not have any mechanism to show that this man in black is extremely strong, except for me, the three of them are not its opponents at all.
"Okay. The man in black didn't say anything about the departure of the Vajra Cannon, its attention was all on me.
"Xiao Jiu, are you sure?" asked Murong Chaifeng suspiciously. When I asked the King Kong Cannon to call someone, it meant that I was sure that I would kill the man in black. But Murong Chaifeng is a clear-eyed person, and she can see that this man in black's cultivation is not weaker than mine.
"Yes!" I nodded at Murong Chaifeng, and then turned to fall and slowly fell down.
"Xiao Jiu, are you really sure?" Murong Chasing Wind fell next to me and grabbed me.
"Don't worry, Sixth Senior Sister. I spoke again, but without looking back, I turned and walked resolutely to the man in black who was standing with a spear.
I didn't lie to Murong Chaifeng, but I didn't tell her that my so-called certainty was the certainty of the same end......
