Oops!
The intention of the nine-tailed fox was not dispelled by Qin Baiyi. It deliberately showed weakness just now just to lure me into a head-on fight with Qin Baiyi.
Jiuwei's calculations are accurate. Someone as proud as Qin Baiyi only regards me as his target, and will concentrate on fighting the enemy. When Qin Baiyi approaches, it's time for Jiuwei to reap the benefits.
The result of Qin Baiyi's deception was that both of us were suppressed by Nine Tails at the same time.
This is the case now.
I figured out the key, but I couldn't stop the eight fox tails that were chasing me.
Su Zixuan, who was running wildly with me on her back just now, suddenly stopped for some reason, and turned to the direction where the foxtail was coming with a dull expression.
I watched as the fox's tail, like a turbulent wave, rose higher and higher in front of me, approaching the ceiling of the underground palace in the blink of an eye, and then crashing down like it was bound by the ceiling, rushing straight towards us.
I want to move, but I can no longer move my body. The Xingtian Slash consumes me too much. I am now like a patient who has not recovered from a serious illness. I can clearly see everything in front of me, but I am unable to react at all because of my dizziness.
As the eight fox tails flew into the air, they turned into eight scimitars. The swords were filled with cold light, and they slashed at me head-on with murderous intent.
I just hit the fox with an ax on the face, and it planned to hit me eight times in a row. The fox's revenge is so strong.
The strong wind brought by the foxtail sword lifted the ends of my hair from my forehead. Suddenly there was a loud roar in the black and white underground palace, and thousands of sword energies bloomed like rays of light, recoiling into the sky from under the pit.
The eight fox tails paused in the air for a moment, then immediately turned back, and fell down continuously in the pit. The fox tails were moved with such haste and strength that although it was breathtaking, it also had a hint of panic. It was as if there was a huge threat behind him. If he didn't turn around and slash behind him, the giant fox would be severely injured.
The moment the fox tail fell back, the four of us reacted together. Xia Qingqing shouted sharply: "Run!"
Su Zixuan ran away desperately, running towards the next underground palace quickly.
Qin Baiyi must have a way to restrain the nine-tailed fox's thoughts, otherwise, the nine-tailed fox would not give up revenge and kill Qin Baiyi.
As soon as this thought passed through my mind, the roar of swords rising through the air and the roar of furious foxes sounded one after another behind me. It sounded like thousands of troops and horses colliding crazily in the pit, and the sound of killing shook the sky. The momentum soared into the sky.
My heart suddenly sank.
There will not be all the will of the nine-tailed fox in the pit, but Qin Baiyi is doing his best. It won't be long before Qin Baiyi can break out of the confinement. At that time, the detectives will definitely be like a group of people who are driven crazy by blood. Wild wolves, eat us until not a single bone is left.
I said anxiously: "You guys go first, I'll stay behind."
Su Zixuan said while running: "There is an underground palace ahead. There is a large abandoned mechanism there. If you can repair it..."
Xia Qingqing asked anxiously before the other party finished speaking: "Where is the hall? I'll go first!"
"Turn left ahead!" As soon as Su Zixuan said these four words, Xia Qingqing rushed out and disappeared in front of us.
Su Zixuan, who was walking quickly with me on her back, was actually only seven or eight steps behind Xia Qingqing. By the time we rushed into the underground palace, Xia Qingqing had already opened the mechanism center: "The mechanism here can be repaired, please wait for me for a few minutes." .”
Su Zimo found a bunker and aimed his gun at the entrance of the underground palace. The only thing we can do now is to use guns to block the incoming enemy.
Xia Qingqing quickly repaired the mechanism center, and the sound of the mechanism's rotation also exploded in the underground palace. Although I couldn't see the scene behind the wall, I could imagine that there were countless mechanisms running rapidly behind the wall, brewing destruction. With the power of heaven destroying earth, once the mechanism is activated, the entire underground palace will become a purgatory on earth.
However, none of us can guarantee that Xia Qingqing can repair the mechanism center or successfully exit the underground palace before the arrival of the detective hand.
The footsteps of the detective hand soon came from outside the underground palace, and I frequently looked back at Xia Qingqing: "How's it going?"
"Wait... wait..." Xia Qingqing didn't even have time to wipe the sweat from her forehead: "Help me stop the other party, it only takes a few minutes!"
I patted Su Zixuan on the shoulder and asked her to carry me and move to Xia Qingqing's side: "How much is left?"
Xia Qingqing pointed to a machine wrench and said, "That's the only thing missing. If I stop now, someone will have to pull the lever to open the mechanism. Give me a few more minutes and I can let the mechanism start on its own."
In fact, ancient trap-like mechanisms are very similar to today's trigger-type mines. They are absolutely safe if no one touches them, but once someone touches them, they will be shattered to pieces.
"Give me a few more minutes, just a few minutes!" Before Xia Qingqing spoke again, I had quietly pressed the gun to the back of Xia Qingqing's head: "No need! I have a way to make them pull the mechanism by themselves. !”
"You..." Xia Qingqing just said one sentence, and I pulled the trigger. Xia Qingqing immediately fell in front of the machine with her face covered in blood amid Magnum's roar.
Su Zimo, who was on alert when she heard the gunshot, immediately turned around. When she saw Xia Qingqing's blood-smeared body, her face turned pale at first, and she immediately raised her gun: "Wang Huan, I saw it wrong..."
"Don't say you've misjudged me!" I patted Su Zixuan and said, "Move five steps to the left! Quick!"
Su Zixuan originally wanted to speak, but when I touched her head with the muzzle of the gun, she immediately swallowed back all the words she originally wanted to say. She quickly moved forward a few steps behind my back. I whispered: "Break the wall in front of you." ,hurry up!"
Su Zixuan raised her hand and slapped it on the wall. The seemingly seamless wall suddenly burst into cracks, and nearly inch-thick walls fell off, revealing the unconscious Xia Qingqing inside.
Su Zixuan asked in a trembling voice, "What's going on?"
"Don't ask so many questions, get them out quickly, let's go!" I urged urgently, and Su Zimo carried Xia Qingqing out unconsciously, almost as if he was sleepwalking.
I patted Su Zixuan and said, "Tear off a piece of clothes from the corpse. I need some close-fitting clothes. Hurry up."
Su Zixuan didn't have time to think about anything. She opened the clothes of the corpse, pulled off a piece of cloth, stuffed it into her pocket, and rushed out of the underground palace with me on her back.
However, I waved my hand shortly after the two people walked out of the underground palace: "Don't leave yet, wait here."
As soon as the demons and arrogances hid their bodies, the detectives from outside came quickly. Someone said: "Elder, there is a corpse here. The murderer shot her behind her head close to her head. The deceased was unprepared. His face was punched through and his appearance is unrecognizable, but judging from his clothing, the deceased should be Xia Qingqing."
Qin Baiyi said with the intention of taking a test: "Xiao Lu, what do you think?"
Someone replied: "Just now I clearly heard Su Zimo shouting: Wang Huan, I was wrong..., I think she probably wanted to say, I was wrong about you. But she changed her mind mid-sentence."
When I heard this, I secretly clenched my fists and Tan Shen indeed had a scout with excellent hearing in his hand. My first step was successful.
That Xiao Lu continued: "My subordinates concluded that Xia Qingqing must have found something crucial at that time, which made Wang Huan temporarily murderous. After he killed Xia Qingqing, he took the hostages, and then let Su Zi Shut up halfway."
Qin Baiyi agreed: "Yes, the analysis is reasonable. Wang Huan is a treacherous person, and there is a high possibility of stealing the treasure and killing people. So tell me, did Wang Huan take that valuable treasure?"
Xiao Lu pondered for a moment and said: "No! Before Xia Qingqing died, he once moved the handle of the mechanism here, but he did not pull the handle away. In ancient times, the mechanism had hidden compartments, and the opening speed was relatively slow, and it took ten seconds at the fastest. In a few seconds, our vanguard team rushed into the underground palace in less than thirty seconds after Su Zimo spoke. Therefore, Wang Huan retreated in panic before he could activate the mechanism. Therefore, he did not get the A valuable treasure.”
"Hmm!" Qin Baiyi said a noncommittal "hmm" before saying, "What's going on with the hidden compartment next to the mechanism?"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but clenched my fists. That was the biggest flaw in my plan. According to common sense, similar things should not appear near the hidden compartment where the treasure is hidden.
If Qin Baiyi becomes suspicious, he will not touch the wrench, but continue to search forward. All my plans will come to nothing, and I will have no choice but to fight to the death with the opponent. But we only have two people here who can fight, and we will definitely lose if we do it.
If there are other options, I don't want to take the risk when time is so short. However, I have been forced to this step, and I can only choose to resign myself to my fate.
Just a few seconds later, Xiao Lu hesitantly said: "I didn't see anything fishy, this subordinate... I'm incompetent..."
Qin Baiyi pointed out: "This cannot be said to be your incompetence, it can only be said that you have too little experience. Wang Huan's eyesight is comparable to the elders of the Dawn Sect. What he can see, you may not be able to see."
Qin Baiyi said confidently: "Wang Huan must have seen through the disguise of the dark grid, so he took action to smash the dark grid. When he found that there was nothing inside, he moved a few steps to the side without giving up. As a result, He discovered the real place where the mechanism was hidden.”
I couldn't help but feel relieved for Qin Baiyi's "understanding". Qin Baiyi could see that our party had broken the disguise outside the agency twice, but he couldn't tell who was first and who was last. This gave me a glimmer of hope. .
Qin Baiyi said: "Xiao Lu, go and activate the mechanism."
"Wait a minute!" A man whose voice sounded like he was past middle age suddenly stopped him: "Elder, I think there is something fishy here."
The middle-aged man noticed that Qin Baiyi didn't speak, so he said hesitantly: "That handle is obviously a device for opening a large mechanism. Even if someone wants to hide a heavy treasure, they shouldn't use such a large mechanism. I suspect... I suspect that it is a device for opening a large mechanism." It’s something used in the machine-killing formation. Please keep an eye on it, elders.”
