Chapter 53: Danger lurks
The shape of the Demon Hunting Lake is regular, and when viewed from above, it looks like a regular circle.
But the two adjacent black islands in the center of the lake are like two empty eyes staring at the sky.
If a strong person takes a closer look at the sky, they will find that the water of the entire Demon Hunting Lake is slowly rotating, like a huge whirlpool.
And the center of the vortex are the two small islands that are only a few dozen feet high.
At this time, on the island, a woman who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old was lying on the stone, and if you looked closely, you could see that her body was covered with pitch-black scales, and the ends of her fingers had sharp claws.
Her eyes, in particular, are actually turquoise.
Suddenly, on the shore of the lake in the distance, several figures slowly approached, and the woman's eyes lit up, and she jumped into the lake suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, she turned into a big black fish with a body length of three feet.
Shore.
Li Hong and several inner court disciples, as well as Liu Junfei and Hua Qianqian, were all there.
Qingshi and Qinglian were tightly tied up, and they were being pushed and fell to the shore.
"Let go of my sister!"
Bluestone roared with cracked eyes:
"Li Hong, Liu Junfei, aren't you afraid that the academy will know?"
"Why be afraid?"
Liu Junfei snorted coldly, his eyes refracted the seeping cold light, "As long as I can lure Liu Ao's bastard out, don't say that I kidnapped your brothers and sisters, even if I kidnapped Murong Yue, I would dare!"
Li Hong's face was a little hesitant, although there was Song Zhong's consent behind this matter, he still felt a little risky.
"You're thinking too much," Qingshi crossed his eyebrows coldly, and spat disdainfully:
"If you want to catch Liu Ao, go find it yourself, use us as bait, you are really despicable. โ
"It's a pity, Liu Ao and I are just one side, he won't come!"
Liu Junfei's eyes widened, and he suddenly raised his foot and kicked heavily behind Qingshi.
I saw Bluestone sliding forward violently and almost fell into the Demon Hunting Lake.
"Brother!"
Qinglian's voice was full of crying, and she looked at Liu Junfei and the others with red eyes, "What do you want!"
Liu Junfei squatted down, reached out to pick up Qinglian's chin, and said with a smile:
"I know, it was Liu Ao who asked your brothers and sisters to pay attention to my movements, it can be seen that Liu Ao has a close relationship with your brothers and sisters, you say, if he knew that you were in danger, would he come to save you?"
Li Hong frowned, "Enough, the news should have been spread, and the next thing to do is to wait." โ
It turned out that on the night five days ago, Li Hong and others secretly captured Qingshi and Qinglian and took them to hunt the demon lake.
At the same time, Song Zhong quietly arranged for someone to spread the news, saying that if Liu Ao did not rush to the Four Lakes before the end of the disciple training of Jiuding Academy, he would kill Qingshi and Qinglian.
Under the spread of well-intentioned people, in just one day, it has spread to the ears of all the disciples who participated in the training, and it has also spread to several defense lines of the demon suppression army.
Valley of the Buried Gods.
Lei Chong's brows tightened.
He didn't know that Liu Ao was not really Qingshi, and thought that Liu Ao was arrested.
"Do Qingshi and Liu Ao have a good relationship?"
Lei Chong's eyes were puzzled, "Liu Ao is the shame of our Burial God Valley, Qingshi made a battle in the battle three days ago, what do you say?"
A squadron leader was furious, "Qingshi must have been bewitched by Liu Ao to befriend him, but now he is being implicated by Liu Ao!"
"Captain, let me take someone to rescue Qingshi, if Liu Ao dares to appear, I will definitely arrest him!"
"Yes, Captain, let me go!"
"Let me go!"
"I'll go too!"
Lei Chong frowned and looked at the squadron leader copper hammer.
Brass Hammer spoke weakly, "Captain, I think there is something strange about this matter. โ
"We have investigated Liu Ao, he joined our Demon Army at the age of nine, stayed in the Valley of the Buried God for ten years, and made a lot of contributions, but he has always been just a team leader. โ
"Let's just say that his soldiers admire him very much, I think, he escaped from the battle and killed the soldiers of our demon army, will there be another hidden secret?"
Lei Chong pondered for a moment and shook his head, "This matter is not mixed up first, which is right and wrong, one day it will be figured out, the top priority is to take advantage of the recent gap when the demon clan has not attacked, and plug the gap." โ
"The general is coming back soon, everyone work hard, if we succeed, then
It was the first brigade to plug the gap, which was a great achievement. โ

The heart of the Dead Lake defense line.
It is a huge lake, and in the middle of the lake, a huge warship floats silently on the water.
In a certain room in the warship, the captain Song Jun got up drunkenly and threw more than a dozen wine jars into the lake through the window.
"Interesting, I want to use Li Wu to lure Liu Ao to appear, but there are still people who use this trick, who will it be?"
"Someone!"
A soldier pushed the door open and said respectfully:
"Captain. โ
"Tell Zeng Can to take Li Wu to the Demon Hunting Lake and release the news that within two months, if Liu Ao doesn't show up, he will kill Li Wu on the spot. โ
"Yes!"
ยทยท
Hongmen Pass.
Wu Mingshan and the other elders stood on the city wall, their brows furrowed.
An inner dean elder was full of anger, "Qinglian is a disciple of the inner courtyard, and her future achievements are limitless, who ate the bear's heart leopard and dared to capture her under our noses?"
"Her brother Qingshi is too, but he has a relationship with Liu Ao's half-demon boy, and now it's good, even Qinglian has been implicated. โ
Wu Mingshan sighed, his eyes were full of annoyance, "It's useless to say this, I think it's better to send someone to rescue Qingshi and Qinglian." โ
"But we can't leave. โ
"Send a steady disciple over," Wu Mingshan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice:
"Let Murong Yue take a few inner courtyard disciples to find out the situation first. โ
So, where is Liu Ao at the moment?
As the sun set, in the afterglow, Liu Ao's figure was stretched out.
A huge lake suddenly appeared in front of him, and on the lake, warships were neatly arranged, and thousands of soldiers were training in the water.
After identifying himself, a soldier took Liu Ao in a boat to the largest warship in the center of the lake.
On the deck, Song Jun was carrying a wine jar and watching the training.
"Captain, this is Li Hong, a disciple of Jiuding Academy. โ
Hearing the voice, Song Jun raised his eyelids and glanced at Liu Ao, and with an 'um' sound, he continued to drink by himself.
Qiu Lingfeng said that Song Jun was a drunkard, but he was loyal to Qiu Long.
Liu Ao hugged his fists and said slowly:
"Captain Song, I'm bothered. โ
Handing over the letter of introduction written by Lei Chong, Song Jun glanced at it and saw that it was indeed recommending a person named Li Hong to kill the demon in the Dead Lake defense line.
"Originally, you were going to go to the Demon Hunting Lake to kill demons, I shouldn't have stopped you," Song Jun took another sip of wine and continued:
But not in the near future. โ
Liu Ao frowned, "Why?"
"There is no why. โ
Song Jun's face was expressionless, "If you want to stay, you can stay, if you want to leave, you are not allowed to go to the Demon Hunting Lake now." โ
"By the way, since you are from Jiuding Academy, do you know a person named Qingshi? Have you ever heard of the name Liu Ao?"
Liu Ao's eyelids jumped, and he forcibly calmed himself.
"Yes. โ
"Since you've heard it, do you know who has a life-and-death feud with Liu Ao?"
Song Jun asked this to find out who was using Qingshi to lure Liu Ao to appear besides himself.
After all, Qiu Long had instructed that Liu Ao could not be allowed to fall into the hands of others.
Liu Ao's face remained unchanged, and he chuckled:
"Liu Ao has a cousin named Liu Junfei, and he has a grudge against Liu Ao. โ
Song Jun let out an 'oh', and then lost interest.
A little Liu Junfei is not worthy of his attention.
But Liu Ao continued:
"Liu Junfei is the quasi-grandson-in-law of Li Xuanji, the military advisor of the Demon Suppression Army. โ
Song Jun frowned instantly, got up and paced.
"What's so special about this Liu Junfei?"
Liu Ao shook his head, "I don't know. โ
Song Jun waved his hand a little impatiently, "Take this Li Hong to find a boat to live in, and he is not allowed to go to the Demon Hunting Lake." โ
Liu Ao frowned, what happened in the Demon Hunting Lake?
The soldier rowed Liu Ao to the shore and took him aboard a warship.
Liu Ao took the opportunity to ask:
"This brother, isn't the Demon Hunter Lake assigned to the Demon Hunters Guild, why can't I go and kill the demons?"
"It's not that I can't go, it's just that I can't go right now. โ
The soldier stopped talking, "Anyway, you just don't go." โ
"If you delay our captain's big event, no one will be able to save you at that time. โ
Liu Ao didn't get the answer he wanted, so he had to wait first.
Late at night, Liu Ao wandered around and finally heard some discussions.
It turned out that Song Jun was planning to take Li Wu to the Demon Hunting Lake and force himself to appear!
At the same time, Liu Ao also knew that Qingshi and Qinglian were arrested, also to force himself to show up.
Great anger appeared in Liu Ao's heart, Li Wu had not been rescued yet, and now the Qingshi brothers and sisters were implicated by themselves again.
His fists were clenched, and Liu Ao was full of murderous energy.
Blame yourself for not being strong enough!
This night, Liu Ao made a quick decision, knocked out several soldiers, and rushed towards the location of the Demon Hunting Lake.
If he had known that Li Wu would be taken to the Demon Hunting Lake, Liu Ao would not have come to the barracks to inquire about the news.
Early the next morning, the stunned soldier woke up and hurriedly reported to Song Jun.
Song Jun was furious when he heard about it, "There is definitely something wrong with that person, follow me to the Demon Hunting Lake immediately!"
It seems that the originally little-known Demon Hunting Lake has become a place full of dangers for a while.
Liu Ao was lying on a high ground, his gaze constantly sweeping over the Demon Hunting Lake.
The lake was calm, but there was a warship parked on the edge of a small island in the middle of the lake, and hundreds of soldiers were practicing on the warship.
Liu Ao's eyes were red, and he couldn't wait to rush over now.
But reason told Liu Ao that impulsiveness not only can't save people, but also may take himself.
Suddenly, Liu Ao's eyes lit up, and he found that in the depths of the lake, there seemed to be a black shadow flashing.
It looks like a big fish.
But all the lakes in the Dead Lake defense line are highly poisonous, why can this big fish survive in it?
Unless, it's some special demon!
Liu Ao began to think, can he use this demon?
Moreover, no trace of Qingshi and Qinglian has been found, and Liu Ao is not able to do it for the time being.
Li Wu, Qingshi, Qinglian, and Liu Ao must rescue the three of them at once, and none of them can be left behind!
