I looked at the smiling corpse on the ground and couldn't help but feel cold all over.
This person only appeared to deliver a message. Her actions seemed fierce, but they did not hurt either Ye Xun or me at all. However, the person who asked her to deliver the message did not want her to reveal any information, so she was regarded as Abandoned son.
Even she herself knew this and still played this role without hesitation, even to death with a smile on her face. Does she think it is a great happiness and honor to die for her lord
Since my debut, I have seen many people who can decide the life and death of their subordinates with just one word. Si Ruo, Li Binning, Xingdian, and Demon Sect are all like this, but none of them can make their subordinates die so happily and so happily. serene. My opponent this time did it.
The opponent I had been looking for finally began to emerge, but his mere glimpse was enough to make me amazed.
"Ye Xun..." I just shouted and realized something was wrong. Why hasn't Ye Xun come over
When I suddenly turned around, I saw Ye Xun standing there with blood in his hands and shaking his head slightly at me. Is he telling me that I'm okay, or is he not letting me move
When I rushed to Ye Xun's side, I saw a patch of blood oozing out from under his left foot.
"What's wrong with you? Lift your feet up." I quickly squatted down, grabbed Ye Xun's ankles, and lifted his feet up.
A triangular nail was driven into Ye Xun's foot, and blood was seeping out along the sole of Ye Xun's shoe.
"Please bear with it." I pinned the edge of the nail with a dagger and thrust it outward. The nail immediately flew half a meter away with blood stains on it, and a blood arrow spurted out from Ye Xun's foot.
I was startled by the black blood spurting from Ye Xun's feet: "Hurry up and sit down, I'll give it to you..."
Ye Xun said expressionlessly: "Don't try to kiss my feet, I've already forced the poisonous blood out."
I was so angry at Ye Xun: "Is the poison on your body released?"
"No." Ye Xun shook his head and said, "I just controlled the poison. The poison I was poisoned should be the same as Li Binning."
I stood up and walked a few steps to Ye Xun's side, and sure enough I found several hidden triangular nails on the ground. The moment I saw the hidden weapon on the ground, I couldn't help but take a breath: I was plotted against again.
Only then did I remember that Long Mei was running in the wrong direction.
The other party is more familiar with the Nine Palaces Formation than Ye Xun. He has long known where Ye Xun and I are, and may even have entered the Nine Palaces Formation one step ahead of us. He did not ambush me and Ye Xun in the formation, but followed us near us. Every move of me and Ye Xun fell into his eyes.
It's not scary to have a master hiding nearby. What's scary is that he can figure out our next plan.
I wanted to catch Long Mei, but he led Long Mei to another place before us. I remember that Long Mei was facing the direction where the golden cicada Gu gathered. When people are in a panic, their first choice is to flee in the opposite direction of danger, but Long Mei inserted the formation sideways, which made it easier for Ye Xun and I to pursue her.
After killing Long Mei, the man immediately returned to Li Binning's location, took away Li Binning and Da'er, and calmly arranged the plan to hurt Ye Xun.
He calculated that after Ye Xun and I suddenly took action, someone would definitely dodge in a certain direction to the left and right, leaving one person to compete with the other. The person who dodged would definitely step on the poisonous nails he had planted in advance. His purpose was to hurt one of us first, so that we would have to go in the direction he had planned. Otherwise, none of us would be able to release the poison from our bodies.
I walked up to Ye Xun and said, "I want to touch Anzi. We both put on golden wolf masks. From now on, we will only use masks to communicate. You listen to me."
Ye Xun took out the golden wolf mask and put it on his face. The moment I put on the mask, bursts of blood suddenly flashed in my eyes. Just a moment later, I heard a gunshot in the distance, two green flares soared into the sky from a corner of the Nine Palaces Demon Sealing Array, and the killing sound also followed.
"It's begun!" When I picked up Ye Xun and ran towards the Demon-Sealing Array, Ye Xun quickly sent me a message: "The road you're running towards is a dead end. Turn over there and you'll find the maze array, which might divert us." Where to go."
"That's the way to a dead end!" I suddenly opened my eyes, and "Seeing Fire" was activated.
It's exactly what I thought, there are no Gu insects in the direction of the maze.
When I followed Ye Xun to track down Long Mei, I quietly used the "Guanruo Guanhuo" twice to observe the surroundings. I found that where Ye Xun led me through, there was more or less the hidden aura of Gu insects, but in the places where he did not go, there were No worms.
If my inference is correct, a long time ago, someone turned all the ways of life in the Nine Palaces Demon Sealing Array into dead ends.
Although the Miao people are simple, they are not fools. Someone used them to build the Nine Palaces Demon Sealing Array, so why can't they use them in turn to add a barrier to the secrets of the Miao people
The Nine Palaces Demon Sealing Array can prevent Miaojiang Gu Masters from entering the core of the array, but if Miaojiang Gu Masters place vicious poisons on all paths of life, the array will in turn become the burial place of those array masters - they don't understand poisons. If he wants to leave the formation from the original route, he will encounter ten evil Gu, which will lead to death or life; if he does not follow the formation method, he himself will be trapped alive in the formation. Once they died, the Nine Palaces Demon Sealing Array became a place where only Miao Jiang Gu Masters could enter and exit freely. All the efforts of those Taoist masters are just to provide convenience for Miao Jiang.
I dared to break into the middle of the maze, not only to survive in death, but also to verify one thing, that is, whether the Taoist masters who were trapped and died in the formation had any backup plans.
Ye Xun and I lost our way soon after we broke into the Nine Palaces Array. We wandered back and forth among dozens of stone pillars, but we couldn't get out.
Ye Xun couldn't help but said, "Put me down and I'll climb to the top of the stone pillar to take a look."
"Don't move, just wait a moment." As I glanced around continuously, I saw the aura of large worms faintly coming from all around us. Those Gu insects are dormant inside the stone pillars like golden cicada Gu. They will not be easily exposed without external stimulation. They are all waiting for intruders other than Gu masters.
Only in the area where Ye Xun and I were, there was no breath coming out. I pointed to the area nearby and said, "Ye Xun, look over there and over there. Where is the way to survive?"
"You can't see clearly." Ye Xun shook his head and said, "The place where you broke in was already in the Nine Palace Formation. Now except for the people setting up the formation, even if the great formation master comes, don't think about it without taking the formation diagram. Go out into battle."
I looked around several times before saying in a deep voice: "Then we are in the right place. Come down first, pay attention to the movement nearby, and tell me if anything is wrong immediately."
After I put down Ye Xun, I pulled out the dagger and lay on the ground, tapping it inch by inch with the handle. After I knocked the entire ground back and forth twice, I didn't find anything abnormal. I couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on my forehead: "Could it be that I made a miscalculation? That would be bad!"
Ye Xun couldn't help but ask: "What did you say was wrong?"
I straightened up and recounted my speculation, then pointed around and said: "There are traces of Gu insects dormant on all sides here. In other words, there must have been a master among Gu masters who deliberately besieged someone here. That person should be It’s the Taoist master who arranged the Nine Palace Formation.”
After I finished speaking, I said in frustration: "But how come there are no traces left here?"
Ye Xun raised his hand and pointed to a stone pillar and said, "Look if there is anything over there."
When I looked in the direction of his finger, I saw a one-foot-square area on the stone pillar that was very different from the color of the stone. I walked up and knocked twice on the stone pillar with my dagger, and the stone skin on the pillar fell off, revealing a mahogany box hidden inside.
Just as I was about to reach out and touch it, I heard Ye Xun say: "That's a wooden box with a mechanism, be careful."
I quickly retracted my hand, took out a pair of gloves from my backpack, put them on my hands, and gently moved the wooden box to the ground.
But when I looked at the compass on the wooden box, I felt sad. When I was chatting with Mother Fox before, I heard her say that this kind of box with a compass on the outside is equivalent to an ancient code lock. If you spell the code using the heavenly stems and earthly branches correctly, you can successfully open the secret box. If it is not done well, it will be easy to activate the mechanism inside the secret box. At that time, the person who opened the lock is too close to the secret box and cannot escape even if he wants to, and can only wait for death.
I don't know how to open a lock, and I don't know anything about the heavenly stems and earthly branches. It would be better to find nothing if I came up with such a secret box. This feeling of knowing that hope is right in front of you but not being able to reach it is the most uncomfortable feeling.
While I was wandering around, Ye Xun whispered: "You go and look out, and I'll give it a try."
"You?" I asked in surprise, "Don't mess around. This thing is not a joke."
Ye Xun waved his hand and said: "I learned to open locks from Tao Xiyu. The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches are originally things of our Taoist sect. I am better than you. Watch carefully and don't let anyone disturb me, especially that person."
"Okay!" At this point, I can only let Ye Xun try.
After I retreated far away, Ye Xun slowly pushed the compass on the box, and my heart suddenly lifted.
Ye Xun seemed extremely calm, but the sweat beads on my head fell to the ground in clusters. I wiped the sweat from my head and observed the movement around me.
I'm also afraid that I won't be able to hide from my opponent. All my plans are aimed at disrupting the opponent's arrangements and in turn containing the opponent. Otherwise, if he keeps leading me by the nose, even if Ye Xun and I are both extremely capable, sooner or later we will fall into his trap. in hands.
Me activating the shadow is only the first step. The next step is to temporarily disappear from the opponent's sight. If he really came to find me, most of my plan would be lost.
When I glanced at Ye Xun, I had to look around three times. Even without Ye Xun's instructions, I still had to pay attention.
While I was anxious, I heard the sound of the lock cylinder opening from Ye Xun's side.
