cave
"Drip, drip" stalactites are hanging down, there are many forks in the road, the surrounding is dark, and water drops are falling.
A Taoist was running in the cave. It was Zhang Ling. The sweat on his forehead made his hair wet, and the lumps were stuck to his head. His mouth was dry and the skin of his mouth was cracked. There were several wounds on his body and the blood was stained red. He took off his clothes, held the sword in his hand, and fled inside with all his strength, breaking the tranquility.
Suddenly, Zhang Ling sensed a crisis, rolled over, and pounced forward.
"Pfft" a sharp whistle, the arrow pierced the air, with the breath of death, whizzing past his ears, frightened Zhang Lingtong into a cold sweat, before he had time to get up, a black shadow rushed towards him in the darkness, with a knife It was thrust forward, Zhang Ling tried his best to block it, and sparks lit up the cave.
"Kill" The person who rushed out showed his figure under the weak sparks. He was a very long man. At this time, he rushed forward with a low roar and chopped down.
Zhang Ling rolled over just now, his body covered with mud and water, gasping for air, he picked up the sword in his hand, stabbed towards Shi Chang, and blocked the knife.
A dim torch approached in the distance, faintly illuminating the situation here. The swords were reflective and intersected several times. The scars on the back of Zhang Ling's hands were torn again, and blood flowed down.
"Cough" Zhang Ling took two steps back and reached out to support the cave wall. The rock wall was wet.
"You have no strength left. Surrender. Where are the remaining people?" Shi Chang was gasping for air at this time, swinging from side to side, and said coldly to Zhang Ling.
"It's ridiculous. Dai Cheng surrendered with this trick, but he died a moment later." Zhang Ling gasped for air and sneered, but his heart was filled with bitterness.
Everything was going well at first, but for some reason, King Lu's army was chasing him more and more closely, and any changes in him were immediately revealed.
Keeping a tight watch, he had no time to rest, and became increasingly exhausted. Six of the seventeen supporting cavalry died in just three days, and they had to retreat into the cave.
The cave is winding and deep, so it can be temporarily resisted, but this also means that it has entered a desperate situation.
In this situation, it was not that no one surrendered. In fact, Dai Cheng also acquiesced. After a moment, desperate feelings and the last scream came from the Taoist Talisman.
"I have killed so many people, so there is no way the other party will surrender." Zhang Lingcai thought, Shi Chang rushed forward and said, "Die."
Shi Chang's face was ferocious, and the passage was not big. Zhang Ling had to gasp and stab with the knife.
With a sound of "dang", Shi Chang slashed down again and again. With an indomitable killing intent, even regardless of himself, Zhang Ling disheveled his hair and resisted repeatedly. With Shi Chang's knife skills, the wounds on his body continued to tear and blood gushed out.
"kill"
Zhang Ling's whole body was dripping with blood. He roared and fought desperately. The veins on his neck protruded and his face turned red. He suddenly used up his last bit of strength: "Paralysis!"
Shi Chang's whole body stagnated, Zhang Ling stabbed him without hesitation, and immediately pierced through Shi Chang's body. With a muffled groan, the sword also stabbed through.
Zhang Ling dodged and passed the knife, but Shi Chang missed it, his whole body twitched, and blood continued to flow out.
"Finally won." Zhang Lingcai thought, and suddenly groaned, looking at his chest and abdomen with an expression of disbelief. When he looked back, he saw only a spearman. He didn't know when the darkness came, and he struck a deep spear with a spear. It pierced the body, but the spearman still wanted to pull it out. Zhang Ling threw the sword away, and heard a "pop" sound. The sword passed through the air and pierced the chest of the spearman. The spearman fell down in response, but he just pulled the spear. Blood and guts flowed out.
"Ah!" Zhang Ling's face turned pale, and he leaned against the stone wall. His life continued to drain away, his body gradually became cold, and his whole life's past appeared in his mind.
"I'm dying?"
"Is it my bad luck? Is it my lack of talent?"
"No, it was Pei Ziyun who borrowed the knife to kill people. I want to send a message to the court. I want to expose it to the court!" Zhang Ling struggled and opened the magic talisman with trembling hands.
For a moment, a spiritual light flashed, revealing a figure, but it was Feng Min. Seeing Zhang Ling leaning on the stone wall opposite, motionless, with blood still flowing from the wound, Feng Min frowned: "Zhang Ling, tell me, what's going on now?" ?”
The sound echoed in the cave, but Zhang Ling didn't make the slightest move.
Feng Min was startled. He scanned around and saw a very long corpse. In the large cave not far from the cave, it seemed that a torch had fallen to the ground. There were eight corpses lying on the ground.
"What happened?" Feng Min roared, and the voice echoed in the cave. After a moment, Feng Min already understood: "Did you die in the battle?"
"Zhang Ling, don't worry. You will be loyal to your duties and fight to the death. Not only will I provide compensation to your family, but I will also ask for a title from the imperial court."
"It's hard to say anything else. You were originally an eighth-grade Taoist official, so it's not difficult to give him a posthumous gift of a seventh-grade Taoist official." With a sigh, the spiritual light went out.
Hengtu Mountain
The mountains are towering and covered with rocks. Some people can't even hold their hands. The big trees cast a large amount of shade. At the foot of the mountains, there are dense military tents.
Surrounded by thousands of soldiers, there is a cave entrance underneath, guarded by school captains, and soldiers patrolling from time to time. A dozen dogs follow their owners on patrol.
In the main tent, several lamps were lit brightly. Eunuch Liao was sitting behind the desk with cold eyes. Below him was a school captain kneeling. Looking at the general, Eunuch Liao slapped the desk hard and said in a sinister voice: "Damn it, another centurion is gone?"
The kneeling captain listened, his body trembled, his face turned pale, he did not dare to hide the recommendation at all, the last person who did this was beheaded, he quickly admitted: "Yes, father-in-law, sent down the 11th team, there are no more Got the news."
"Damn it!" Eunuch Liao's expression changed drastically. He grabbed the tea cup in front of him and threw it to the ground. The captain was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
"A mere cave swallowed up three hundred of my people. Are you a loser?" Eunuch Liao stood up, his face livid: "Thanks to you for being called an elite, tell me, should our family report this matter to the prince, or should I give it to you again?" What about a chance?”
The eunuch's voice was so high-pitched that his hair stood on end.
"Father, the underground melt cave is like a maze, and it is very narrow, and it is so dark that it is difficult to see. We have to use a torch to enter. But if you light a torch, you will be a target in the maze-like cave, and there will be countless casualties."
"But if you don't click, you can't see things with your eyes. And the enemy has Taoism, but he has a way to see it. Father-in-law, it's not that we will die if we don't do it, but in this situation, no matter how many people there are, we can't use it."
At this point, the general rushed forward and kowtowed repeatedly: "Father, it's better to trap them and starve them to death. Otherwise, I really don't know how many brothers have to be filled in this cave before it can produce results." The general said, feeling extremely uncomfortable. , lay on the ground and started crying.
"Asshole" heard this, Eunuch Liao gritted his teeth: "Is this your reason?"
Just scolding didn't seem to be enough to vent his dissatisfaction, so he took off the whip behind him, whipped it down hard, and hit the captain's body hard. When he hit it, there was a bloody mark.
"Papa pa pa"
Blood seeped out of his clothes, and the general refused to give in. His face turned pale, he bit his mouth, sweat poured down, and his back was wet with blood and sweat.
After lashing out, he threw the whip aside, and Eunuch Liao calmed down. In fact, what the captain said was right, but could King Lu's decree be ignored
"Huh!" Eunuch Liao sighed, and his tone softened: "Get up and ask a military doctor for treatment later."
"I don't know that this cave is difficult to enter. The right thing to do is to be trapped to death. But the prince was impatient. He asked seven questions in a row, and his tone became increasingly bad."
"Let me be clear, if the errand is not done well, my head may not fall off, but none of your heads are secure, do you understand?"
"So it's like this. I don't know how much my father-in-law cares about me. I'm really guilty." After hearing these words, the captain suddenly woke up. Due to the pain, his mouth twitched and he pressed it to the ground: "I hope my father-in-law will give me one more time." Chance."
Seeing the appearance of the school captain, Eunuch Liao was slightly satisfied and ordered: "Send another team down, using the people from the Baidou Battalion (elite)"
"Yes." After listening to Eunuch Liao's words, the school captain knelt down, saluted, and was about to withdraw.
"Slow down!" Eunuch Liao pondered for a moment, and then said to Qi Aiguo who was standing in the tent: "Pei Ziyun is in the cave now, you lead the way."
The surrounding generals were startled, they were going to fight to the death.
melt hole
It was very large and could accommodate a hundred people. A luminous pearl shone with dim light, barely illuminating it.
The seventeen people turned into six, and all of them were injured. Shen Zhen had a cut on his face, which was scabbed with blood. He was bandaged in three places, his lips were chapped, and his face was pale.
The other charlatans were like this, leaning against the wall to rest. One charlatan closed his eyes slightly and whispered: "Daughter, wife."
As he said this, tears fell silently. There was silence in the cave for a while, and suddenly a Jianghu guest laughed: "Why are you crying? I killed twenty-three, it's not a loss."
"Haha, Li Wusan, you have only killed so many, what is there to brag about?" Another Jianghu guest mocked at this time: "I have killed thirty-seven."
After he finished speaking, he fell silent again and sighed for a long time: "It's a pity that our brothers have killed so many, so we don't lose anything."
"I don't know if we can get out alive."
Following these words, the Jianghu guest was speechless.
Do you regret it
Don’t you regret it
"System!" In this atmosphere, Pei Ziyun suddenly shouted secretly.
A plum appeared in front of me, and it quickly enlarged into a translucent data frame, floating in the field of vision with a faint sense of light, and the data appeared in front of my eyes.
"Earth Immortal: First Floor (101.1%)"
After persisting for several days, it was finally full. Pei Ziyun clicked the upgrade button without any hesitation. Suddenly, a surge of spiritual energy dropped, and the energy that had been depleted gained a little more. He immediately opened his eyes and said, "Yes."
"Brother, if you die, your death will not be in vain. If you kill the enemy's soldiers, your death will not be in vain. You can at least get a decent official status when you go back."
"The dead brothers will also receive pensions."
Listening to Pei Ziyun's words, Shen Zhen said: "We have to go back. I used to despise the officers and soldiers, but now I realize that the greatest strength of the officers and soldiers is that they will not die at all. Hundreds of lives are fighting for your life. This is really terrifying... Alas, I just suffered a lot for my sister and didn’t even have time to take care of her.”
Pei Ziyun smiled: "Don't worry, everyone can go back, just don't be afraid of the smell."
After saying that, he went out and reached the corpse. With a flash of the knife, he cut open the internal organs of the enemy's corpse and exposed the bladders. He took out several bladders and wiped them with his hands, turning them into balloon-like things.
"One for each person, filled with air. Follow me. I have found the way. You can enter the water in front of you. The water channel leads directly to the outside. We can dive out."
With that said, they went down the cave. Seeing Pei Ziyun's confidence, these Jianghu people were all refreshed. All the way down, they saw water flowing at the end of the cave.
Pei Ziyun took out another rope and asked everyone to hold it: "It will take a while to dive into this water. You all have martial arts skills. Hold your breath and follow me. Whoever can't help it, just take a breath of air in the urine bubble."
"Although it's filthy, it may save lives."
Looking at the urine bubbles, Shen Zhen laughed: "This bit of filth is nothing compared to life. Brother Pei, you lead the way from the front, and we will follow."
"Zhenjun, among us Jianghu people, none of us have come here without blood, and we have seen cannibalism." The Jianghu people immediately understood the principle and started talking one after another.
"Okay, just like that, dive with me." After saying that, Pei Ziyun got off first, and the remaining six people followed. With a "pop", water splashed in the cave water.
Under the water, a night pearl illuminated, and with this light, everyone swam forward hard.
