Chapter 8 Mystery

The three of them had a short rest and were about to continue moving forward. A silent tremble told the danger. When the three of them were alert and their hair was standing up, they quietly appeared from the darkness...

Gongjin and Yan Ning were shocked. This was the oppressive feeling that made the chest breathing unhappy. Only when their mentor Lu You used their strength, they had felt it. However, Yue Xian’s kingly aura was not as fierce and fierce as the murderous aura in the dark. At this moment, they all guessed what was hidden in the cave?

Can you have such murderous aura? Is it because hundreds of monsters are waiting for it?

If this is true, then relying on the three of us to go deeper, it would be too brave but not resourceful. Yan Ning winked at Gongjin and made a suggestion to retreat.

But Gongjin was unwilling.

In addition to his persistence in exploring the truth, Gongjin believed that if he retreated, it means that he and Yan Ning did not have enough strength to explore the cave. In other words, he must immediately send back to Bailu Cave and ask Su Laotang for help.

It is nothing to bow to the elder, but when Su Laotang's power comes, he will immediately face the problems related to assassination of Xiao Qiao, which really makes him unwilling.

careful!

Xiao Qiao's warning came in time, and the fishy storm blowing from the darkness contained unrivaled powerful power, instantly overwhelming the three of them.

The torch he held was extinguished in an instant, and the three of them fought in the most unfavorable complete darkness. They did not have to worry about whether they would accidentally hurt their friendly forces, because the monster had a heavy attack like thunder, which forced them to do their best to resist and save their lives. They had no time to think about the safety of their companions, and they could not care whether they should join forces to form a defensive front.

The enemy is not only extremely fast, but also extremely powerful. Gongjin resists in the darkness and feels that there is a thunderous thunder everywhere. He cannot even judge the number of enemies. The wounds behind him are invisible. Obviously, the technique of tenderness and pain is about to collapse. By then, blood loss alone will be enough to make him fall down.

(Damn it, why is this thing so strong? How could I...)

At this moment when the situation was getting worse, there were a lot of things in Gongjin's mind flying uncontrollably. He felt the stench of the monster, the cold fangs of its cold fangs, gradually approaching his throat, craving for his own blood. These dangerous feelings made him feel cold, but he still couldn't concentrate and eliminate the distracting thoughts in his brain.

The monsters here are very strong and dangerous, but haven’t I known about this for a long time?

Before I entered the mine to explore, I knew that there was an unparalleled force here. For safety reasons, it would be better to send the information back to Bailu Cave and hand it over to my mentor to handle it. If I still have one-tenth of my usual rationality, I would definitely do this, but why didn’t I do this this time?

He is in a state of progress and retreat, and is irrational and unwise, and is influenced by boring reasons. Even now he is still thinking about things. His performance is extremely stupid. Even if he dies because of this, he cannot blame anything, but... why did things become like this?

What did you do wrong?

(Damn, am I going to die here? Did I die in this ghost mine in such humiliation? Where did my strength and my cultivation go? I am unwilling to give up...I, after I die...)

The wound behind him began to bleed a lot. He took every force in his hand and waved his knife without reservation, resisting the lightning strike of his claws without reservation, but he felt the approaching death in his heart. Gongjin wanted to stimulate himself with a sense of crisis. In the past, he had survived the crisis like this.

However, no matter what he thought this time, his hollow heart could not inspire a trace of fighting spirit, and instead he began to think about what happened after his death.

I was lonely and lonely all my life, and I would not be affected by many people after I died, not to mention that I died in a humiliating mission. According to the rules of Bailu Cave, I am afraid that there will be no formal funeral. I will be buried under a simple nameless tombstone and disappear silently from the world.

Anyone would come to my grave to greet me?

Mentor Lu You will not show up.

Although he is a famous teacher, he only has kindness to him and has no master-disciple friendship. He died in a secret mission without any prospects and is not outstanding. In the eternal ice cave, he will only regard himself as a loser who failed in training and is not qualified to compete with the demon clan, and will leave it behind and never remember it.

There are several subordinates, including Jiang Zhong, who respect and loyal to themselves, but they do not know their true identity. If they know, no one can tell whether these so-called respected and loyal subordinates will rebel as soon as possible.

I have been executing secret work for many years, and all my interactions are for betrayal and betrayal.

After countless friends who were sent to the guillotine by themselves, there was nothing in life that could be called friends, and the only friends who were intimate were Yan Ning.

She has a similar soul color to herself, and there is a friendship between the two that is difficult for others to understand. When she dies, she will wear a floating white robe as usual, and pour a pot of turbid wine on her grave to mourn her friends who are no longer here.

(Are there anyone else besides Yaning?)

Memories ran by like a lantern, and countless sad and resentful faces passed away as their curses and scolds before their death passed away, a ray of light seemed to appear in the darkness. A ghost girl wearing a green skirt and smiling smiled softly spoke to herself very seriously and seriously.

Brother Yu, I hope you will have more and more beautiful memories with you in the future.

Is it just such an unknown sentence that has caused me to fall into the current desperate situation of death?

This is indeed very ridiculous, but... whether it is ridiculous or shameful, at the last moment between life and death, Gongjin asked himself, wanting to listen to the truest voice in his heart.

Do you...want those more and more beautiful memories?

At the moment when the answer appeared, Gongjin felt that a certain desire was not the stimulation of the crisis of death, but a strong desire for life. In an instant, he felt that something or a certain force was liberated in his tired and bloody body.

Howl~~~

Roar ~~~

Two earth-shaking roars exploded in the mine at the same time, as if they were about to shake the entire earth and shattered the surrounding earth and rocks. The violent shock wave swept across all directions, and the broken stone chips actually burned violently under the high temperature of energy impact.

When Gongjin was lit up by the fire and his rationality returned a little, he realized what he had done.

At that moment, the powerful force he burst out shook the monster that almost broke his neck and crashed into the rock wall.

(I...I shocked that monster? How did I do it? How did I have the same power as that monster? Is that... the power of heaven?)

This thought was circling in his mind, and the severe blood loss and severe pain behind it reminded Gongjin that he was still suffering from severe damage. His mind was in chaos, and his tense body suddenly broke out, and blood blew wildly. His whole body was so painful that it seemed to be torn apart, and he fell to the ground with no strength left.

Brother Yu!

Xiao Qiao's screams and screams made Gongjin raise his head with all his strength, but he saw a black shadow hitting lightning faster than the sound. With the light of the fire, Gongjin saw clearly its aggressive and fierce body. Every inch of the muscle seemed to be full of strength and beauty. The black fur was like soft silk, the green eyes were better than the most beautiful jade, and the proud horn on the forehead was like ivory... It was a black magic leopard!

Time seems to be extremely short, but it seems to be extremely long. Gongjin saw the extinction and viciousness in the eyes of the leopard, and knew that it would never let him live for half a quarter of an hour, but he was already weak and could no longer resist his life.

Brother Yu!

This time the sound was much closer, and a golden light flashed in front of you first. It was not a flying hammer, but a giant golden shield as bright as the sun. It appeared with its holder and blocked Gongjin.

The distance was very close, Gongjin only saw one scene, and shedding the heavy golden armor. Xiao Qiao held a golden shield and wrist-wrapped the chain hammer in front of him, holding a shield high towards the demon leopard. Her body had long been stained with blood, and several deep wounds were added to her tender skin, but her expression was extremely focused, as if she was expressing her determination to protect her, and her heroic, persevering, but gentle expression... reminded Gongjin of the statue of the combat celestial girl in the Bailu Cave.

The most important thing is that feeling. Before the Demon Leopard was about to hit him, Gongjin had a feeling, as if he knew that Xiao Qiao would appear, and when she showed up in time, that feeling... was indeed very wonderful.

Howl~~~

Wow!

The Demon Leopard seemed to have suffered a certain degree of damage in the previous impact with Gongjin, so when Xiao Qiao encouraged the power of the Bo Ai Holy Shield and fought it head-on, both sides were both injured. The Demon Leopard was thrown out again, and Xiao Qiao spit out a mouthful of shrill blood, the tiger's mouth broke, the Holy Shield escaped, and the whole person was also shaken out under a huge force, and it just fell into Gongjin's arms behind him.

The two of them fell together, but it was not a romantic and warm scene.

Gongjin caught Xiao Qiao, but could not bear the huge force that was slamming into her arms with her. As a result, he rolled out with Xiao Qiao, turned around dozens of times, and finally hit the stone wall next to him, and entered the whole thing with a loud bang. When the two of them confirmed that they were still alive, their bodies were as painful as if there were no more than half of the continuous bones left.

You two, escape!

Yan Ning screamed in panic, making the two people stuck on the stone wall realize that the crisis had not yet passed. The demon leopard, which had the upper hand, pounced on again, but this time there was no other savior.

Unable to escape, and even had no time to move the position, the two of them saw each other in their eyes when they hugged each other tightly.

The blood-stained face and messy hair had never seen each other's miserable appearance since they met each other, but... they were almost dead, but these men and women only saw smiles in each other's eyes, as if they would not be a waste of their lives.

Time passed by silently, but the pain of death that should have come was not coming for a long time. Until the two of them felt a little strange, until Yaning's voice sounded aside, they woke up in shock.

Hello!Have you two seen enough?

Yan Ning didn't just talk, she kicked her, and her appropriate skill made the two rebound from the stone wall.

Almost dead, looking at Yan Ning with a strange expression, Xiao Qiao and Gongjin felt puzzled, and they didn't know why death had never come.

Where is the magic leopard?

The two of them looked closely and saw that the demon leopard, which represented the threat of death, did not disappear, but did not pounce on him. Instead, they stood far away, staring in a certain direction with green pupils.

Looking along its sight, the equality hammer and the charity shield were scattered on the ground, and the black smoke was dissipating from it.

(This black gas is...)

I got affirmed from Yan Ning's eyes that the black smoke was a demonic energy, which could only be diverted by creatures in the demon world or those who practice demon skills, but why did such a strong demonic energy emit from those two magical artifacts?

Looking at Xiao Qiao sideways, she seemed to be confused by the situation. She wanted to reclaim the two magical artifacts, but was afraid that it would attract the attack from the Demon Leopard and dared not take action.

If the Demon Leopard attacked again, the three of us would definitely die. Gongjin considered the risks and decided to give up his previous stubbornness and asked his companions to retreat. Just as he was about to speak, the Demon Leopard suddenly roared softly, turned around and left.

Xiao Qiao snatched forward and recycled two magical artifacts. He was surprised why the Demon Leopard gave up the responsibility of guarding, but the Demon Leopard did not stay away, but roared at the three of them, turned around and took a step, as if he wanted three uninvited guests to follow behind it.

Brother Yu, this is...

I don’t know, maybe... it’s the...some breath contained in your two magical tools that made this leopard mistakenly recognize something!

Gongjin couldn't say it completely, but from a rational perspective, the person who left an ambush in this mine was probably related to the demon clan. So when the demon leopard noticed the demonic energy, he regarded the three of them as fellow travelers and stopped attacking.

It was unexpected that the situation would evolve like this, but Gongjin and the other two decided to continue to follow, wanting to see what the Demon Leopard wanted to see.

The demon leopard guided the way, and the three of them were not attacked by any monsters along the way. After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, a fork in the road appeared in front of them, and a corpse floated at the intersection. It seemed that they had been dead for a long time, and their clothes and flesh were rotten, but the entire bones were emitting a strange red light, which seemed to have been semi-mineralized and mysterious.

The bones had a horn similar to Xiao Qiao on their forehead, which indicated the identity of the deceased during their lifetime; and the bone wrist of the bone's right hand was surrounded by a metal ring that burned red light, and Xiao Qiao could tell what it was at a glance.

Free Demon Ring!

Xiao Qiao shouted softly, wanting to go over to get it, but he was concerned about the reaction of the Demon Leopard. After looking at it several times, he found that the Demon Leopard was just lying at the intersection on the right and ignored the situation here, so he took the courage to remove the Demon Ring.

With a thud, when the demon ring was removed, the bones floating in the air lost their support and fell to the ground. The originally semi-mineralized bones also turned into dust in the instant they fell to the ground. Before Xiao Qiao could lower her body to clean up, she was blown away by the wind in a blink of an eye.

Judging from the fragments of the long swords scattered on the ground, Gongjin believed that this victim was the Guiyi tribe leader two hundred years ago. He encountered misfortune while entering the mine to search for treasure. After obtaining the Free Demon Ring, Xiao Qiao had collected all three artifacts. Gongjin couldn't help but urge Xiao Qiao to put the bracelet on earlier.

Well, I'll give it a try.

Xiao Qiao put on the free demon ring, and a bright layer of fire was like a phoenix spreading its wings, covering Xiao Qiao's whole body in an instant. The bright light flames tilted and sucked like waves, illuminating the entire space, almost forcing Gongjin and Yanning to face it.

Uh... Brother Tao!

Xiao Qiao let out a shocked scream and pointed at Yan Ning at a loss.

When she walked in just now, Yan Ning had been staying behind the tail hall, and the surrounding environment was dark again. Her companions never saw her injuries. Now, when they looked in the red light, they found that Yan Ning was really injured.

This is not surprising, because in the previous battle, in order to cover the two companions, Yan Ning took the initiative to snatch more than half of the attack of the Demon Leopard and fought desperately, as if he was crazy. As a result, he suffered the most injuries. He had many wounds made of blood and meat buns on his body, and the blood could not be stopped properly. He had already dyed the white robe so dirty that it was very surprising just to support him to get here.

But this is not what surprised Xiao Qiao.

Through the red light, it can be clearly seen that in the front of Yaning's white robe, some white cloth strips that were originally wrapped tightly there and were not seen by others had broken, revealing their snow-white and round tall breasts. Even in such a bloody and stained situation, it still makes people feel extremely sexy... At least in Gongjin, who had known Yaning's gender for a long time, this is indeed the case.

Brother Tao, you...you...are you a woman?

Xiao Qiao stared at her with this gaze. Yan Ning looked at her chest. After understanding the problem, she shrugged helplessly, without saying anything. She didn't even plan to pull the collar of her clothes and cover up the spring scenery. Instead, Xiao Qiao blushed and took a step forward to help her pull the collar of her clothes.

Girls' home... can't be so open and honest.

What's the relationship?I won’t lose a piece of meat when I’m seen. Isn’t it a pity to wrap my body into a rice dumpling?

But...at least you should cover Ah with your hands!

I've thought about Ah, but...

Yan Ning raised her wrist helplessly, and her wrist, which was bitten by the demon leopard, almost broke from the interruption, while the other hand was obviously fractured and twisted vertically in 90 degrees.

Both hands have become like this. What do you want me to use to pull clothes?

Looking at Yanning's sad expression deliberately pretending to be frowning, Xiao Qiao couldn't help laughing, but she immediately realized that the situation was serious and rushed out with Yanning, hoping to help her heal her injuries as soon as possible.

The wound on his back was bleeding extensively. Gongjin's situation was not better than them at all, but when Yan Ning and Xiao Qiao rushed to leave, he endured the pain in his back and thought about an important question.

Xiao Qiao came here to obtain the Free Demon Ring. She has achieved this, but she came here two hundred years ago to find another treasure. Now Xiao Qiao has obtained the Free Demon Ring, so where is the other big secret treasure that was originally hidden here?

What is it?

The road to the mine has not yet been completed, so you can continue to go deeper. Perhaps the real secret treasure is hidden inside...

However, when Gongjin had this idea and was about to continue moving forward, the demon leopard, who was originally lying on the intersection ahead, stood up and roared fiercely. The thunderous aura that did not allow outsiders to step further, made Gongjin understand its protection attempt.

So that's it... The demonic energy can only prove that it is your fellow traveler, but not your master, right?

Even if the three of them joined forces, they almost died at the hands of this demon leopard. Now that they are the only one left to break through, that is of course a way to seek death. What's more, the free demon ring has already obtained it, so you shouldn't be too greedy in life.

I don't know what you're waiting for, but I'll stop when I see you.

I believe that the demon leopard would not attack him from behind, Gongjin turned around and left with confidence, but when he left, he still couldn't help looking back at the intersection, looking at the dark demon leopard that was gradually disappearing, thinking about the nameless treasure deeper in the mine.

...Perhaps, one day in the future, I will come back...

For the entire rebel army, this naive day was a legendary day, especially when Xiao Qiao gathered everyone and announced that she had obtained the Liberty Demon Ring in the mine and collected the three artifacts of the Guiyi tribe. The whole valley was cheering and thundering, celebrating the supreme glory given by God and praising the greatness of the leader.

Although Xiao Qiao, who had two major artifacts before, had the momentum of a true emperor, was unable to collect all the three artifacts of Guiyi. After all, she was a little weaker and criticized. Now she has finally collected all the three artifacts and her momentum has suddenly risen to an unprecedented high, because in the tragic history of the Guiyi clan for two thousand years, the great hero who could sweep away the blood and darkness and gathered all the three artifacts was finally born, and people's support for her reached its peak at this time.

In fact, as far as Gongjin and Yanning are concerned, Xiao Qiao does not need to be attached to the protection of the three divine artifacts at all, because during these days, everything she has done for the Guiyi tribe and this alliance is obvious to everyone. Even without the blessing of the three divine artifacts, everyone's support for her will not change.

However, although Gongjin once told Xiao Qiao that she, who is enlightened and not persistent in everything, was extremely persistent in this regard and told all the tribe members to be honestly informed at the most solemn ceremony.

Maybe this is also part of the girl’s character?

Gongjin didn't stop him, and he just felt very funny in his heart, because even an excellent woman like Xiao Qiao could not avoid such unnecessary trivial forms.

But looking at the joy of the crowd, Gongjin did not deny anything more.

Of course it is not just a simple celebration.

After seeking Yan Ning's consent, Xiao Qiao also announced her identity before everyone, which made everyone face this fact in shock.

The shock of surprise was inevitable, but it did not arouse any disgust. Yan Ning had received extremely high support in this group and was getting along with many people who were close to him. In this military group with men as the main body, a beautiful woman who was definitely more popular than ordinary men.

When every situation occurs, there will be objections, but while Yan Ning shows her true face, she also opens another secret, which is her unknown bloodline.

If it were in the human world, this secret would have caused an uproar and become a fatal scandal just like it was exposed in the White Deer Cave. However, in this military group with the Guiyi tribe as the main force, Yan Ning's Guiyi bloodline not only did not cause problems, but made it easier for people to accept this beauty of the same race and sect.

Because of his ghost bloodline, he was unable to get along with Bailu Cave and even attacked Zhou Gongjin, the senior brother who wanted to attack the rebels.

Yan Ning's behavior in the past was explained in the most perfect way. No one in the coalition thought that she might be a spy in Bailudong, because even if she was not as ruthless as she was and never left a living on the battlefield, Bailudong would not accept a member of the Guiyi tribe back. This is something everyone knows.

Gongjin naturally understood this better.

In private, he did not agree with Yaning's approach.

Showing his true face can also be said to be too lazy to put on his face all day and make an ugly fake beard. However, once he reveals his ghost bloodline, he will give up his appearance advantages and he will never have a way out.

Yan Ning, you do this...

Believe me, shemale man, I have considered it... I have considered it seriously when I was not drunk.

It would be strange if you believe you. Not getting drunk does not mean anything. I have seen several prisoners before. When they took drugs to the end, their eyes became the same as you, and they even said the same excuses.

More than once, Gongjin warned Yanning not only for her incomprehensible actions, but also for her obvious situation of being unable to control her murderous intentions on the battlefield.

The martial artist practices not only to practice martial arts, but also to practice the mind. If the mind is contaminated by madness and cannot maintain calmness, this is usually a sign of destruction.

Be more awake!Do you really want to betray your master if you make yourself so far away?Betrayal of the White Deer Cave?

I was very sober, so I knew that I would part ways with those people after all.I have no regrets or dissatisfaction, but what about you, Gongjin?Have you made a choice?

Yanning answered directly, which made Gongjin clumsy at the answer. Although he hesitated for a while, he said that he would be absolutely loyal to Bailu Cave and would not be on the same side as this group of guys who were about to die, even if Yaning did not ask again, Gongjin knew that his words had flaws.

If you are so loyal, why are you still here?

Didn’t you return what happened in the mine to the master’s sect?

Why didn’t he follow Su Laotang’s intentions and carry out the assassination of Xiao Qiao?

You are a smart person, and you know many things I don’t say about... Gongjin, be careful, it’s time to protect her.

Protect?What to protect?

Since we came in here, you have been chasing the girl to do things, going in and out with her, so that she can only see your figure and your face, for what?Perhaps in your cognition, this is just to get close to her and it is easy to affect the alliance, but in my opinion, maybe you haven't even noticed that your move... is called a handsome man trick.

A handsome guy trick?How could it be?Such a shameful method, even if I am used to conspiracy, I will not be willing to use it.

You are indeed very qualified to use this strategy, and with your efforts over the past two months, the results have naturally appeared... Haven't you noticed it yet?That girl fell in love with you.

Nonsense, how is this kind of thing possible?

I am a simple ally with Xiao Qiao, and I just want to deceive her from the trust and push her and all the ghosts into the abyss of despair in the future. At least a few days ago, what I had conceived was to continuously lay the unstable factors in this alliance, allowing these people to gradually move towards the path of defeat in joy.

You seem to be surprised?But this is not surprising at all Ah!Gongjin, you who are not wearing a mask and do not deliberately maintain a cold and cruel aura, your conversation and insight are heartbreaking. You are handsome and have high martial arts skills. How can a girl not be attracted to you?Xiao Qiao is just a young girl who is not very experienced in the world. She has no other close friends in this alliance. When she only sees you nearby all day and treats her well, it is normal for her to be attracted to you gradually!

Yan Ning laughed softly, brushing the two hairs hanging from the corner of her forehead behind her ears. When the black hair swept across the white jade-like tender face, the stunning charm at that moment was so beautiful that it was so daring to look at it.

Gongjin didn't want to pay attention to this. No matter how gorgeous Yan Ning's appearance was, he only cared about what was in her mind, because if she noticed something else, the friendship would deteriorate, and she really cherished this hard-earned friendship.

So what he said to Yan Ning was just taken over in an indifferent tone.

Nonsense, people like me will be attractive to women?Yan Ning, you are also a woman. Do you blush when you see me?

Will Ah!Not only does my face blush and my heart beat, but sometimes my body will also get hot and I feel restless!

Yanning raised her head and answered frankly directly and frankly, which made Gongjin not know what to say. Instead, Yanning took the initiative to continue talking.

But this is no big deal, because when I look at Xiao Qiao, in addition to blushing and heartbeat and fever, even her chest will become hard!

Speaking bold words, Gongjin felt that Yan Ning's eyes were like a big snake staring at the prey from behind, and was greedily speaking. Although he was not the prey,... should he sigh or laugh with his current expression?

There was no answer to thinking, and a noise suddenly came not far away. Listening quietly, it seemed that people were shouting that an assassin was coming.

assassin?

The two men who were shaking the bushes and covered their bodies with grass and branches as concealed to talk secretly, stood up suddenly, looked into each other's eyes, thinking about the same thing.

The guards here are extremely strict, and ordinary assassins cannot touch them. The most likely one is that the assassin sent to Bailu Cave, and the purpose is naturally unknown.

The people from Su Laotang... actually sent someone without my consent...

A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and Gongjin disappeared in an instant and rushed out towards the firelight in front of him.

Even without saying anything, Yan Ning knew why he was angry and was worried about something.

Xiao Qiao was seriously injured in the mine battle. If she was caught off guard by an assassin, there was indeed a danger, but...

My friend Ah!Even though you don’t want to, the moment that forces you to make a choice seems to be getting closer. What choice will you make then?

Yan Ning couldn't predict it. Because of this, she stood there with a hint of lonely expression and could only sigh silently.
