The three of them took a break for a while, and were about to continue walking forward. There was a kind of silent tremor, telling of the danger. When the three of them were alert and their hair standing upright, they quietly appeared from the darkness...
Gong Jin and Yan Ning were both shocked. The oppressive feeling that made their chest breathing unsatisfactory, they had only felt it when their mentor Lu You showed their power, but Yue Sage’s kingly manner did not have the solemnity in the dark. The momentum was violent and fierce. At this moment, they all guessed what was hidden in the cave?
Can there be such a murderous intent, can it be that thousands of monsters are waiting for it? If this is the case, then it would be too brave and intrepid to rely solely on the three of them to go deep, Yan Ning winked at Gong Jin and made a suggestion to retreat.
But Gong Jin was unwilling. In addition to his persistence to discover the truth, Gong Jin believed that if he retreated, it would mean that he and Yan Ning did not have enough strength to explore this cave. In other words, he must immediately send a message back to Bailu Cave and ask Su Laotang for help. It is not necessary to bow his head to the elder, but as soon as Su Laotang's power comes, he will immediately face the issue of assassinating Xiao Qiao, which really makes him unwilling.
"Be careful!"
Xiao Qiao’s warning came in time, and the fishy wind blowing from the darkness contained an unmatched power that instantly overwhelmed the three of them.
The torch held by them was extinguished in an instant, and the three of them fought in the most unfavorable total darkness. They didn’t have to worry about whether they would accidentally injure their allies, because the monster had a heavy attack like thunder. They can only try their best to parry and save their lives. They have no time to think about the safety of their companions, let alone whether they should join forces to form a defensive front.
The enemy is not only extremely fast, but also extremely powerful. Gong Jin is parrying in the dark, only to feel that there is a thunderous roar in all directions, he can't even judge the number of enemies, and the wound on his back is aching, obviously strong pressure painful The practice is about to collapse, and the blood loss alone will be enough to make oneself fall as hard as he can.
(Damn it, how could this thing be so strong? How could I...)
At this moment when the situation is getting worse, there are many things in Gong Jin's mind flying uncontrollably. He feels the stench of the monster, and the coldness of its fangs, which is gradually approaching. His own throat was thirsting for his own blood. These dangerous feelings made his nerves chill, but he still couldn't concentrate and get rid of the distracting thoughts in his brain.
The monsters here are very strong and dangerous beyond imagination, but didn't you know about it a long time ago? Before entering the mine to explore, I knew that there was an unmatched power here. For safety, it is better to send the information back to Bailu Cave and hand it over to my mentor for processing. Yi’s reason would definitely do it, but why didn’t I have this time?
Being unreasonable, doing irrational and unintelligent actions, being affected by boring reasons, even now I still think about it, my performance is so stupid, even if I die because of this, I can't blame anything, but... Why did things turn out to be like this? What did you do wrong?
(Damn, am I going to die here? Did my Zhou Gongjin die in this ghost mine so humiliatingly? Where did my strength and my training go? I'm not reconciled... I, After I die...)
The wound on the back began to bleed heavily, and every force in his hand swung the knife, unreservedly resisting the lightning strike of the claws, but in his heart he felt the approach of death, Gong Jin wanted to stimulate with a sense of crisis For himself, he has survived crises like this in many life and death disasters in the past. However, no matter what he thought this time, his empty chest couldn't inspire a trace of fighting spirit, and instead he began to think about his afterlife.
My life is lonely and lonely. After I die, there will not be too many people affected. What's more, I am humiliated and killed in secret missions. According to the rules of Bailudong, I am afraid that there will be no formal funerals, and I will be buried in Under a simple nameless tombstone, it disappeared silently from the world.
Will anyone come to pay their respects at their grave?
My teacher Lu You will not appear. Although he is a mentor, he is only kind to himself, and there is no mentor-disciple friendship. He died in a secret mission without success and not outstanding. In the eternal ice cave, he would only regard himself as a failed training. The loser who is not qualified to fight against the demons, just forget about it and never remember.
There are several subordinates, including Jiang Zhong, who respect and loyal to themselves, but they don’t know their true identity. If they knew, would these so-called respected and loyal subordinates rebel in the first place? , No one can tell.
Performing secret work for many years, and all contacts are for betrayal and betrayal. After countless acquaintances were put on the guillotine by himself, there was nothing in life that could be called a friend, and the only intimate relationship was Yan Ning. She has a soul color similar to herself, and there is a friendship that is incomprehensible between the two. When she dies, she will wear a flying white robe as usual, and pour a pot of dirty wine on her grave to mourn. Friends who are no longer there.
(Apart from Yan Ning...Is there anyone else?)
The memory ran by like a revolving lantern. Numerous faces of grief and resentment, as their curses and scolding before their deaths passed one by one, there seemed to be a gleam of light in the darkness. One was wearing a green dress and full of grace. The little ghost girl, who was smiling, spoke very seriously to herself softly.
"Brother Yu, I hope to have more and more beautiful memories with you in the future."
※※※
Is that so ignorant of the so-called sentence that made me fall into the desperate situation of death now? This is really ridiculous, but... ridiculous or shameful, at the last moment between life and death, Gong Jin asked himself, wanting to listen to the truest voice in his heart.
I...Want those more and more beautiful memories?
At the moment the answer appeared, in an instant, he felt that there was something, a certain power in his exhausted and **** body, being liberated.
"Howl~~~"
"Roar~~~"
Two kinds of earth-shattering roars exploded in the mine at the same time, as if to shake the whole land, the surrounding earth and rocks burst and shattered, and the violent shock wave swept in all directions, and the broken stone chips were violently under the high temperature of the energy impact Burn up.
When Gong Jin was illuminated by the fire and his rationality returned a little bit, he realized what he had done. At that moment, he burst out with great power, and violently shook the monster that almost broke his neck, and slammed deeply into the rock wall.
(I...I shook the monster out? How did I do it? How can I have the same power as the monster? Is that...the power of heaven?)
This thought was circling in his mind. The severe blood loss and pain behind him reminded Gong Jin of the fact that he was still severely injured. His mind was in a mess, his tight flesh suddenly turned off, and blood spurted wildly, and his whole body was in pain. As if to be torn apart, he fell to the ground with no strength left.
"Brother Yu!"
Xiao Qiao’s scream and exclamation made Gong Jin use his last strength to raise his head, but he saw a black shadow rushing forward with lightning speed exceeding the speed of the sound. By the light of the fire, Gong Jin saw its strength clearly. The fierce male body, every inch of muscle seems to be full of strength and beauty, the pitch-black fur is like soft silk, the green eyes are better than the most beautiful jade, and the haughty unicorn on the forehead is like ivory...that is absolutely black. The magic leopard!
The time seems extremely short, but it seems extremely long. Gong Jin saw the extinction and viciousness in the eyes of the leopard, knowing that it would never let him live for half an hour, but he was already weak and unable to do it anymore. His own life resisted.
"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 golden shield that was as brilliant as the sun. Lightning appeared with its holder and blocked the public. In front of Jin.
The distance is very close, Gong Jin only saw one scene, and the heavy golden armor was removed. Xiao Qiao held the golden shield and the wrist chain hammer in front of him, holding the shield high against the demon leopard; on her body He was bloodstained a long time ago, but his expression was extremely focused, as if he was expressing a resolute attempt to guard, that kind of brave and firm, yet gentle expression...It reminded Gong Jin of the statue of the fighting goddess in the Bailu Cave.
The most important thing is that feeling. Before the devil leopard is about to pounce, Gong Jin has a feeling, as if he already knows that Xiao Qiao will appear, and when she shows up in time, that feeling... is indeed very wonderful.
"Howl~~~"
"Woo!"
The Devil Leopard seemed to have suffered a certain amount of damage in the previous impact with Gong Jin, so when Xiao Qiao fully encouraged the power of the "Holy Shield of Fraternity" and shook it head-on, both sides were injured. The leopard was thrown out again, and Xiao Qiao spewed a bitter bit of blood, the tiger's mouth broke, the Holy Shield was released, and the whole person was also shaken out in a powerful throw, just falling into Gong Jin's arms behind him.
Two people fell together, but it was not a romantic and warm scene. Gong Jin caught Xiao Qiao, but couldn't bear the huge force that crashed into her arms with her. As a result, he rolled out with Xiao Qiao, turned dozens of times on the ground, and finally hit the stone wall next to him. The entire forceps went in with a bang, and when the two confirmed that they were still alive, their whole body was so painful that there was no more continuous bone left.
"You two, run away!"
Yan Ning's rapid panic and screaming made the two people who were stuck on the stone wall realize that the crisis has not passed yet. The demon leopard who had the upper hand attacked again, but this time there was no other savior.
Can't escape, even too late to move. At this moment when the two of them are hugging each other tightly, they can only see each other in their eyes. With blood-stained faces and messy hairs, I have never seen each other look so embarrassed since I met each other, but... obviously they are about to die, but these men and women only saw smiles in each other’s eyes, as if it were so. Dead, life is not in vain.
Time passed so silently, but the pain of death that should have come was delayed until the two felt a little weird, and it was only when Yan Ning's voice sounded from the side that the two woke up.
"Hey! You two, have you seen enough?"
Not only did Yan Ning speak, she also kicked, with the right amount of dexterity, shook the two of them out of the rock wall.
Looking at Yan Ning with a strange expression, Xiao Qiao and Gong Jin felt puzzled, not knowing why death never happened.
Where is the magic leopard?
The two looked intently. The demon leopard that represented the threat of death did not disappear, but it did not come forward either. Instead, they stood far away, staring in a certain direction with green eyes. Following its line of sight, the hammer of equality and the holy shield of fraternity were scattered on the ground, and the black smoke was dissipating from inside.
(This black spirit is...)
Affirmed from Yan Ning's eyes, that black smoke is devil energy, and only creatures in the devil world or people who practice magic skills can radiate, but why do those two artifacts emit such strong devil energy?
Looking at Xiao Qiao sideways, she seemed to be at a loss for the situation. She wanted to take back the two artifacts, but she was afraid that it would be attacked by the magic leopard, so she dared not act.
If you are attacked by the magic leopard again, the three of your own parties will definitely die. Taking the risk into consideration, Gong Jin decides to give up his previous stubbornness and greet his companions to retreat. Just about to speak, the magic leopard suddenly screamed and turned around. go.
Xiao Qiao rushed forward and retrieved two artifacts. He was surprised at why the Leopard gave up the responsibility of guarding, but the Leopard did not stay away. Instead, he yelled at the three of them and turned around again, seeming to want three of them. Uninvited guests followed behind it.
"Brother Yu, this is..."
"I don't know, maybe... it's something contained in your two artifacts... some kind of aura, let this leopard misunderstand something!"
Gong Jin couldn’t speak completely, but from a rational point of view, the person who left ambush in this mine was probably related to the demon clan, so when the demon leopard was aware of the devil’s energy, They regarded the three of them as fellow travelers and stopped attacking.
It was unexpected for the situation to change like this, but the three of Gong Jin decided to continue to follow along, wanting to see what the Devil Leopard wanted to see.
There was a demon leopard leading the way, and the three of them were not attacked by any monsters along the way. After about half an hour of walking on the dark road, there was a fork in the road ahead, and a corpse was floating at the intersection. It seems that after a long time of death, the clothes and flesh have been rotten to perfection, but the whole bone is glowing with a strange red light, and it seems to have been semi-mineralized and mysterious.
Bone's forehead has a single horn similar to Xiao Qiao, indicating the identity of the deceased before his death; and on the right hand bone wrist of the bone, there is a metal ring that ignites a fiery red light, and Xiao Qiao knows it at a glance. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? What it is.
"The Magic Circle of Freedom!"
Xiao Qiao whispered, wanting to take it, but he was concerned about the reaction of the devil. After watching it several times, she found that the devil was just lying on the right intersection and ignored the situation. This is great. Take off the magic ring with the courage.
With a sound, when the magic ring was taken off, the bones floating in midair lost their support and fell to the ground. The semi-mineralized bones also turned into dust when they fell. Joe bent down to clean up, and was blown away by the wind in a blink of an eye.
Judging from the long sword fragments scattered on the ground, Gong Jin believes that this victim is the leader of the Guiyi tribe two hundred years ago. He suffered misfortune in the process of entering the mine to hunt for treasure, and after obtaining the magic ring of freedom, Xiao Qiao Having collected all three artifacts, Gong Jin couldn't help but urge Xiao Qiao to put on this bracelet earlier.
"Well, let me try."
Xiao Qiao put on the magic ring of freedom, a layer of bright fire light like a phoenix spreading its wings, covering Xiao Qiao's body in an instant, the bright light flames like waves, illuminating the entire space, almost force Gong Jinhe Yan Ning couldn't face it.
"Uh... Brother Tao!"
Xiao Qiao let out a scream of surprise, and pointed at Yan Ning very bewildered. When Yan Ning walked in just now, Yan Ning had been behind the tail hall, and the surrounding environment was completely dark again. The companions never saw how her injuries were. Now, after looking at her with a fiery glow, they found that Yan Ning was seriously injured.
This is not unexpected, because in the previous battle, in order to cover the two companions, Yan Ning took the initiative to grab more than half of the demon leopard’s offensive. There are many **** wounds on the body. The blood can't even stop it properly. It has stained that white robe a long time ago. Just being able to support it here is something surprising. It's up.
But this is not what surprised Xiao Qiao. Through the red light, it can be clearly seen that at the opening of the front of Yan Ning's white robe, some of the white cloth strips that were tightly wrapped there and not seen by others have broken, even in such a **** and stained situation... At least in the eyes of Gong Jin, who knew Yan Ning's gender for a long time, that was indeed the case.
"Brother Tao, you...you... are you a woman?"
I was glared by Xiao Qiao with such a gaze, Yan Ning looked down at her chest, and after she understood the problem, she shrugged her shoulders without saying anything, and even pulled her clothes close to cover up. There was no plan, but Xiao Qiao blushed and took a step forward to help her pull the placket well.
"The girl's house... can't be so frank and open."
"What does it matter? Isn't it a pity to be seen without a piece of meat, such a good figure, wrapped in zongzi?"
"But... at least you should cover it with your hands!"
"I have thought about it, but..."
Yin Ning raised her wrist helplessly. The wrist that was bitten by the demon leopard almost broke from it, while the other hand was obviously fractured and twisted 90 degrees vertically.
"Both hands have become like this, what do you want me to use to pull clothes?"
Looking at Yan Ning's deliberately pretending frown expression, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but laugh, but he was immediately aware that the situation was serious, and took Yan Ning out to treat her injuries as soon as possible. .
The wound on his back is bleeding extensively, and Gong Jin's situation is no better than them, but when Yan Ning and Xiao Qiao rushed to leave, he endured the pain in his back and pondered an important question.
The purpose of Xiao Qiao’s coming here is to obtain the magic circle of freedom. She has achieved this, but the former owner of the magic circle came here two hundred years ago to find another treasure. Now Xiao Qiao has obtained it. The magic circle of freedom, then where is the other big secret treasure that was originally hidden here? What is it again?
The road to the mine is not yet finished, and you can continue to go deeper. Perhaps the real secret treasure is hidden in it...
However, when Gong Jin had this idea and was about to move on, the demon leopard who had been lying on the road ahead suddenly stood up, threatening and roaring fiercely, the kind of thunder that would not allow outsiders to take a step further. The aura, let Gong Jin understand its guardian intentions.
"That's it... The devilish energy can only prove to be your fellow traveler, but not your master, right?"
Even if the three of them joined forces, they almost all died in the hands of this demon leopard. Now only one person is left to fight hard. Of course, it is a way of seeking a dead end, not to mention the magic ring of freedom. One shouldn't be too greedy.
"I don't know what exactly you are waiting for, but I will accept it as soon as I meet."
Believing that the demon leopard would not attack him from behind, Gong Jin was relieved to turn around and left, but when he left, he still couldn't help looking back at the intersection to see the dark demon leopard that was gradually disappearing. , Thinking of the unknown treasures deeper in the mine.
...Perhaps, one day in the future, I will come back again...
For the entire rebel army, this naivety is truly a legendary day, especially when Xiao Qiao gathered everyone and announced that she had obtained the magic ring of freedom in the mine and gathered the three artifacts of the Guiyi tribe. The whole valley was thunderous, celebrating the highest glory bestowed by heaven and praising the greatness of the leader.
Xiao Qiao, who used to hold two great artifacts, has the aura of a true emperor, but failed to gather the three ghosts of ghosts. After all, it is a bit weak and arouses criticism. Now he finally gathers the three artifacts. , The momentum suddenly rose to an unprecedented high, because in the two thousand years of tragic history of the Guiyi tribe, the blood and darkness of the past can be swept away, and the great hero who gathered the three artifacts finally came into being. People support her. , Reached its peak at this time.
Actually, from the perspective of Gong Jin and Yan Ning, Xiao Qiao does not need to be obsessed with the protection of the three artifacts, because in these days, everything she has given for the Guiyi tribe and this alliance is everyone. It is obvious to all, even without the blessing of the three divine tools, everyone's support for her will not change.
It’s just that, even though Gong Jin once said to Xiao Qiao, she who is open-minded and unattached in all things, she is extremely insistent on this point, and in the most solemn ceremony, this matter will be announced to all the people in an upright manner. .
Perhaps this is also part of the girl's mind, right?
Gong Jin didn't stop him, he just thought it was very funny, because even a good woman like Xiao Qiao couldn't get rid of such a trivial form. But looking at the thunderous joy of the crowd, Gong Jin did not deny anything more.
Of course it's not just a celebration.
After seeking Yan Ning's consent, Xiao Qiao also announced her identity before everyone, making everyone face this fact in consternation.
The shock of surprise is inevitable, but it did not cause any disgust. Originally, Yan Ning received extremely high support in this group, and many people close to him were brothers and brothers, and in this case, men Among the main military groups, they are definitely more popular than ordinary men.
In every situation, there will be objections, but while Yan Ning shows her true colors, she also discloses another secret, that is, her unknown bloodline. If it were in the human world, this secret would have caused an uproar and a fatal scandal like it was revealed in Bailu Cave. However, in this military group with the Guiyi tribe as the main force, the Yanning Guiyi bloodline has not caused it. The problem, on the contrary, makes it easier for people to accept this beauty of the same kind and clan.
Because of his ghost and barbarian blood, he couldn't get along with Bailudong, and even attacked Zhou Gongjin, a senior who wanted to crusade against the rebels. All of Yan Ning’s actions in the past have been perfectly explained. No one in the coalition forces thinks that she may be Bailudong’s spy, because even if she is not so cruel, she never left her mouth on the battlefield, Bailudong. It is impossible to accept a Guiyi tribe back, this is something everyone knows.
Gong Jin naturally understands this better. In private, he did not approve of Yan Ning's approach. To show people in their true colors, it can also be said that they are too lazy to put on makeup on their faces all day long, and get some ugly fake beards, but when they reveal their ghost blood, it is tantamount to giving up the advantages of appearance, and there is no retreat from then on.
"Yin Ning, you did this..."
"Trust me, **** man, I thought about it... I thought about it seriously when I was not drunk."
"It's strange to believe in you. Not being drunk doesn't mean anything. I've seen a few prisoners before. They took drugs until the end, and their eyes became the same as you. They even gave the same excuses."
On more than one occasion, Gong Jin warned Yan Ning not only for her incomprehensible actions, but also for her apparent inability to restrain her murderous intentions on the battlefield. Martial arts practice not only practice martial arts, but also practice the mind. If the mind is contaminated by madness and cannot maintain calmness, this is usually a sign of destruction.
"Be more sober! You have made yourself so incapable of retreating, do you really want to betray the teacher? Betrayal of Bailudong?"
"I'm sober, so I know that I'm going to part ways with those people after all. I don't have any regrets or dissatisfaction, but what about you Gongjin? Have you made a choice?"
Yin Ning’s direct answer made Gong Jin awkward to answer. Although he hesitated for a while, he said that he would be absolutely loyal to Bailu Cave, and it was impossible to be on the same line as this group of dying guys, but Even if Yan Ning didn't ask again, Gong Jin knew that there was a flaw in her words.
If you are so loyal, why are you still here? Didn't you pass back what happened in the mine? Why didn't you follow Su Laotang's intention to carry out the assassination of Xiao Qiao?
"You are a smart person. I don't know many things, but you also know... Gong Jin, take it seriously. It's time to protect her."
Protection? What to protect?
"Since we came here, you have been chasing that girl's side to do things, going in and out with her, so that she can only see your figure and your face, for what? Maybe in your recognition Chirito, this is just to get close to her, and it is easy to influence this alliance, but in my opinion, perhaps even you have not discovered this. Your trick... is called a beautiful man."
A beautiful boy? how come? Such a shameful method, even if he is accustomed to conspiracy and tricks, he disdains to use it.
"You are indeed very qualified to use this strategy, and after your two months of hard work, the results have naturally appeared... Have you not noticed it? That girl likes you."
Nonsense, how is this possible? I and Xiao Qiao are pure ally, and I just want to deceive her trust, and then push her and all the ghosts into the abyss of despair in the future. At least as of a few days ago, what I had in my mind was thinking about Instability factors have been continuously planted in this alliance, allowing this group of people to gradually march towards defeat in joy.
"You seem surprised? But this is not surprising! Gong Jin, you who don't wear a mask and don't deliberately maintain a cold attitude, you are very heartbreaking in conversation and knowledge. You are handsome and high in martial arts. How can a girl not be attracted to you? Xiao Qiao is just a young girl who has not been involved in the world. There are no other close friends in this alliance. When she only sees you nearby all day long, she treats her well, she gradually It’s normal to be attracted to you!"
Gong Jin doesn’t want to pay attention to this. No matter how gorgeous Yan Ning’s appearance is, he only cares about what is in her mind, because if he notices anything else, then this friendship will deteriorate, and he really cherishes this. A hard-earned friendship.
So what he said to Yan Ning was just taken carelessly.
"Nonsense, people like me are also attractive to women? Yan Ning, you are also a woman, don't you see me blushing and heartbeat?"
"Yes! Not just blushing and heartbeat, sometimes the body will get hot, and the whole person will be fidgeting!"
Yin Ning raised her head and answered directly and frankly. Instead, Gong Jin didn't know what to say. Instead, Yan Ning took the initiative to speak.
Speaking bold words, Gong Jin felt that the look in Yan Ning's eyes at the moment was like a big snake staring at her prey from behind, greedily vomiting, even though she was not the prey, but...the expression is exactly what she is now Should I sigh or laugh?
Thinking has no answer yet, there is a sudden noise not far away, listening quietly, it seems that people are yelling that an assassin is coming.
"Assassin?"
The bushes shook, and the two people who were talking secretly by covering their bodies with branches of trees and plants stood up and looked into each other's eyes, thinking about the same thing.
The security here is extremely tight. It is impossible for ordinary assassins to touch in. Most likely, the assassins are sent from Bailu Cave, and the purpose is naturally not known.
"The people in Su Lao Tang... actually sent someone here without my consent..."
A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and Gong Jin disappeared in an instant, and flew out toward the flames ahead.
Even without words, Yan Ning knew why he was angry and what he was worried about. Xiao Qiao was seriously injured in the mine. If he is caught off guard by an assassin, it may indeed be dangerous, but...
"My friend! Even if you don't want to, the time for you to make a choice seems to be getting closer. Then, what choice will you make?"
Yin Ning couldn't predict, because of this, she stood there with a lonely expression, she only sighed silently.
The first volume of "Ginkgo Chapter" is finished
