Chapter 19: Encountering the Crow Hall
Not long after the three of them left, three more people came from the other side of the mountain road, led by a black-faced old man in his sixties, with a long scar on the right side of his face, which made him even more fierce.
"It's Senior Brother Wei!"
There are two people around him, one with a wide forehead and thick eyebrows, and the other with a thin face in black, but they are all older than Zhao Weiwei and the others.
The thick-eyebrow man recognized the three people who fell to the ground at a glance and immediately rushed over.
As soon as he probed his breath, he shook his head heavily: "It's hopeless, but it looks like he's just dead and can't be saved." ”
"There are footprints here, and this is the path that should be taken to kill them. The thin-faced man analyzed.
"Hmph, what a bold man, he actually killed our people from Jiuquanmen. Chase me!" The black-faced old man snorted coldly and hurried in the direction of Li Mo and the others.
At this time, Li Mo and the three of them had already crossed the mountain roads and continued to go south.
At this point, the mountain road slowly converged, and suddenly opened up at the exit, turning into a huge valley.
The mounds were evenly distributed between the valleys, more than a foot high, and there seemed to be no danger at all.
Li Mo has a wide range of knowledge, and he recognized the origin of the mounds at a glance, and was about to call Xiao Hei to open the way, when he suddenly heard a loud shout from behind: "Stop me!"
The three of them looked back and saw that it was the black-faced old man and his party, and it was the thick-eyed man who shouted.
"The people who killed our Jiuquanmen still want to get out like this, you think it's too beautiful, right?" The thick-eyebrow man scolded, with a gloomy face.
"I'm a powerful person who killed Senior Brother Wei and them, it seems that they took it lightly and fell into your ambush, but if we catch up, even if you are unlucky. When the thin-faced man saw that there were two young men among the three, he immediately looked contemptuous.
Li Mo listened quietly to what the two of them said, and then said: "It is indeed us who killed Zhao Weiwei and the three of them, and it is understandable if you want to seek revenge." However, we are on our way now, and we have no time to waste on you. ”
"Hmph, that's a big breath! With Elder Ben here, do you think you'll be able to run away?"
The black-faced old man sneered, and pointed in the direction of the valley, "Or do you not even know the nest of this giant-winged sand ant, and you still think you can walk through here?"
The other two also sneered, although the giant-winged sand ant was as small as a puppy, and its combat power was not strong, but its number was extremely large, so even the Xuanyuan Realm late Xuanshi did not dare to break into the nest place.
Once inside, hundreds of giant-winged sand ants will attack, and what is even more terrifying is that the mound where the sand ants enter seems to be distributed far away, but its underground is criss-crossed nest areas, dozens of feet deep, so that the ground is as thin as a sheet of paper in some places.
In battle, once you step on it and fall into the lair, it is a dead end.
As soon as the black-faced old man's words fell, Li Mo smiled and said lightly: "What's so difficult to walk through here?"
With that, he turned around and walked straight into the valley.
"Look for death!"
The black-faced old man's face sank, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, waiting for the three of them to be scared back by the giant winged sand ants.
It's just that things are developing in a weird direction, and I saw the big black dog walking in front with big strides, and Li Mo and the three of them followed unhurriedly.
The valley was quiet, except for the rustle of the sand as the breeze whipped up the gravel.
In just a few moments, the three men and one beast had already walked a third of the way.
"What's going on? The Giant Winged Sand Ants didn't attack them?" the thick-eyebrow man looked surprised.
"I see, this is a nest area abandoned by the giant winged sand ant. I didn't expect that there was such a place in the Twilight Sand Canyon, how could it be so easy to escape from my Zhao Gou's palm?" the black-faced old man made a self-righteous judgment and walked forward.
The two men with thick eyebrows suddenly realized, and naturally thought that this was the only possible conclusion.
The sand ants that used to live here have found another nest, and this is just an empty nesting area.
So the three of them jumped one after another and fell into the valley.
As soon as they landed, the ground suddenly shook, and one by one, giant-winged sand ants the size of a puppy came out of the mound, and the gray-brown compound eyes on their heads stared at the three of them tightly.
Zhao Gou and the three of them were taken aback again and hurriedly stopped.
In just a few breaths of time that the three of them set foot in the valley, the number of giant-winged sand ants that emerged reached hundreds, and they were distributed in an arc at the entrance of the valley.
Dense like locusts, looking at their frequent fluttering wings, as soon as the three of them took another step forward, they immediately attacked.
But in the depths of the valley, there was still a peaceful scene, Li Mo and the three of them walked along, the mound was also quiet, not a single giant winged sand ant came out, and the giant winged sand ant colony in front of it completely ignored the existence of the three people.
It's so incongruous, it's so weird.
"What the hell!"
Zhao Gou's face sank, and as an elder of the Nine Springs Sect, he couldn't swallow this breath as he watched the three people who killed the same sect leave.
But he didn't dare to swagger across the valley like Li Mo and the others, and he didn't know what kind of method the three of them used.
The two men with thick eyebrows stared at each other with big eyes, they had never seen such a strange thing.
In the end, Zhao Gou shouted angrily: "Detour!"
The three of them hurried back and chased after them around another road.
Of course, Li Mo didn't take this matter to heart, and the three of them walked all the way out of the valley, and soon came to a large clearing through the mountain road.
At the end of the clearing, there are suddenly five branches, looking at the trend of the mountain road, two of them are straight south, and the rest are zigzag and zigzag, which seem to lead to other directions.
"Labyrinth Formation!"
Song Shuyao broke through this fork in the road in one sentence.
Li Mo praised lightly: "Shu Yao's eyesight is really powerful, I just intuitively thought it was a maze formation, but you made up your mind at once." ”
Song Shuyao smiled lightly and said, "I'm just an axe from the class, how can my eyesight be compared to your magical eyesight?"
Li Mo smiled when he heard this, approached the fork in the road, looked at it all the way, and then said towards the most tortuous fork in the road: "Only this one has not set up a magic circle, it should be the right path, and the other few are artificially set up maze formations, and you will only lose your sense of direction when you walk in." ”
So the three of them walked along the road, which turned crooked, but at last the road suddenly became straight and straight to the face.
Song Shuyao praised Li Mo for judging correctly, and although there were many nests of young beasts along the mountain road, because Xiao Hei led the team, the speed of the three of them was very fast.
As they continued to advance, the distance between the three people on the starry compass and the team to the south was rapidly shortening.
Another half an hour passed, and finally reached the exit of the mountain road, and descended all the way down the slope below, and arrived at a rocky area with complex terrain.
The hills of two or three hundred zhang are scattered and distributed, forming a series of steep mountain roads.
Not long after walking forward, there was a sound of fighting in front of him.
When the three of them reached the intersection, they saw two groups of men fighting in the open space in the distance.
On the left, there were already one dead and two wounded, and the remaining two were covered in wounds.
The three people on the right are in full swing, all three of them are dressed in black, wearing black masks to cover half of their faces.
One of them had gold threads on his mask, and his hands were standing on the side resting, looking like he was of a higher status.
The other two have silver lines on their masks, and one is armed with a large knife, and the other two are defeated and retreated, and the winner is only within one or two moves.
"The people of the Crow Hall!"
Zhu Duanmu saw at a glance the black crow logo embroidered on the two people on the left.
Li Mo immediately ordered: "Save people!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhu Duanmu's figure flashed, and he was already blocked between the two people, and with a wave of his long sword, he suddenly forced the two masked people back.
The two Xuan Masters of the Black Crow Hall suddenly lost their strength, holding their swords on the ground, gasping for breath.
Seeing that someone suddenly intervened, the gold-threaded masked man suddenly scolded in a deep voice: "Who dares to come and harm our Wumian Hall!"
Li Mo walked over slowly and said lightly: "It doesn't matter who we are, the important thing is that we are here, I'm afraid that the three of us will return empty-handed." ”
"Joke, just because the three of you also want me to return empty-handed?
"Up!"
The two Silver Thread Mask Xuan Masters immediately flew towards Zhu Duanmu.
"Get out!"
Zhu Duanmu sneered, raised his sword casually, and in an instant, the sword qi boiled, rolling the two out of a place of more than ten zhang.
"Late stage of Xuanyuan Realm!"
Yan Wanli was taken aback for a moment, and he took a few steps back in fright.
Then, he threw an object forward, and the ground suddenly burst into thick smoke and dust, covering the ground.
By the time the smoke cleared, the three were gone.
"What a black noodle hall, screaming fiercely, running faster than a rabbit. Zhu Duanmu laughed.
Li Mo also smiled faintly, although the Wumian Hall was also a notorious organization in the Luzhou Evil Dao, it was not a problem for the people to be scattered in this place, and it would not take time to pursue it, because his current attention was on the two of the Black Crow Hall.
"Thank you three for saving lives. ”
Although the two middle-aged men looked fierce, their tones were also full of gratitude.
Seeing that neither of them looked like treacherous people, Li Mo said bluntly: "Two, I have a question I want to ask you, and I ask you to tell you the truth." ”
"Childe saved our lives, and we are grateful to repay us. As long as we know it, we will not hide it. A gray-clothed master on the left replied.
Li Mo asked, "Among the two teams participating in the killing competition, there is an outsider, and the two of them know the origin of this person. ”
The gray-clothed Xuan Master immediately replied, "What Gongzi is talking about is Elder Wei of the Southern Jade Gate?"
Li Mo's eyes lit up: "So, you really know his identity?"
The gray-clothed Xuanshi asked cautiously, "Gongzi is from the Southern Jade Sect, and he came to hunt down Elder Wei?"
"I'm not from Nanyumen, but I have some grievances to settle with Mrs. Wei. Li Mo replied.
The gray-clothed Xuan Master replied, "Actually, we didn't know Elder Wei originally, and we didn't have much friendship with him. However, Elder Zou Fang, who led the team this time, and Elder Wei seem to be old acquaintances, and after meeting halfway a while ago, Elder Wei came here with us. ”
"Then do you know why he came to the killing tournament?" asked Li Mingcheng.
