Chapter 53: Dark Candle

Arsenal in the north of the city.

To be precise, the direction of the arsenal is in the northwest corner of Maplewood City.

A large amount of ordnance is stored here, waiting to be used when the army is mobilized.

The defense here is tight, and there is always a hundred-man team stationed here at any time. This hundred-man team will be divided into ten small teams, and each team must be headed by a monk.

Of course, this does not mean that the proportion of monks in the Maplewood City Guards is so high, but because the significance of the arsenal is so important that the generals who mobilized the defense deliberately increased the proportion of elites.

In comparison, the City Lord's Mansion itself did not have many monks to guard it, because the City Lord Wei Quji himself was the most intimidating combat force in Maplewood City.

At the same time, stationing in the arsenal is also one of the daily tasks of Taoist disciples. Two Taoist disciples guard here every day. There are few Taoist honors, but the advantage is stability, and there is basically nothing going on, which does not affect meditation practice.

In fact, many people are competing for this task. It can be said that if you are quick, you will get it, but if you are slow, you will not.

The arsenal is divided into inside and outside. Such a high level of defense is of course not only to protect the mountains of common soldiers and armor in the outer arsenal.

From a space perspective, the inner warehouse is extremely small and only occupies a small room in the middle of the entire arsenal.

However, from the walls to the roof and even the ground, there are specially engraved magic circles to prevent violent intrusions. If there is an attack that cannot be resisted by these magic circles, the self-destructive formation in the inner library will be activated.

Due to various restrictions, anyone can only enter the inner treasury through the main entrance with a special seal.

The two disciples of the Taoist Academy and the ten-man team, the strongest among the hundred-man team, were guarding in front of the inner treasury. They would not move a step except for defensive rotation.

This kind of defense is almost foolproof. Especially today is the big day for the Three Cities Forum. A large number of city guards are stationed in the city, and there will be no blind people looking for death.

So when two people wearing city guard uniforms came over and the seals were verified to be correct, the team leader on duty opened the inner treasury door without thinking too much.

"Wait a minute." The disciple of Cheng Taoist Temple who was meditating cross-legged on the futon on the right side of the door suddenly said.

His original intention was not to doubt these two people, but he felt that he needed to take a look at the seal, so that it would be in line with his duties.

But the two people who had already entered the inner treasury suddenly turned back.

One's long hair swelled up like a black pointed needle. The other opened his bloody mouth and spit out a bloody snake!

The disciple from the City Taoist Academy named Zing was covered in black hair almost immediately and fell to the ground in despair. The captain of the city guard, the monk, was covered in dirty blood and in an instant, only bones were left!

In just one round, there was only one monk left outside the inner treasury gate, and the remaining nine city guards, although elite, were only ordinary warriors.

"I just want to be lazy..." The remaining disciple of the City Daoyuan touched his forehead, and the next moment he stood up, pointed his finger, and shot the golden light arrow through the wind towards the enemy.

Ding and other high-grade Taoist skills, golden light arrows.

It is instantaneous, which means that this person has at least completed the Small Zhoutian cycle and has a cultivation level of eight or above.

He commanded while attacking: "Spread out and report the news, I'll hold you back here!"

It is true that he is not sure of defeating these two guys who dare to attack Maplewood City's arsenal, but at this moment, the official power in Maplewood City undoubtedly has an absolute advantage. As long as the news is spread, no matter how many opponents come, they will only fall.

The ending of being killed.

It is a habit for soldiers to obey orders, and of course they will not delay. The nine soldiers immediately dispersed and fled.

At this time, chaos broke out in the entire Maple Forest City, except for martial arts arenas and other places where strong men gathered.

They might set fires, or they might kill people violently, making a lot of noise.

Inside the arsenal, the two attackers did not hesitate. The attacker with black hair as a weapon stayed to fight, while the attacker with vomiting blood rushed straight into the inner arsenal.

They have a very clear goal! Such thoughts flashed through the minds of the remaining Chengdaoyuan disciples. He pointed his fingers and pointed sharply, and the golden arrows were used by him to create a rain of arrows across the sky!

The golden arrows and the black-haired arrows competed against each other, one was sharp and the other was treacherous.

During the stalemate, suddenly a long knife passed by, and the black-haired attacker fell to the ground, and his body was separated.

Wei Yan held the long knife and turned it into the inner treasury.

A bloody snake rushed towards him. He did not dodge or evade, slashed vertically with his long knife, and separated the bloody snake into two halves. He thrust forward between the separated blood snakes, almost colliding with the one vomiting bloody blood.

The attacker faced each other face to face and stabbed the man in the heart!

But the attacker smiled strangely. He hoarse his voice and used his last strength to joyfully say: "I have sent Mingzhu away!!"

Behind Wei Yan, the foul blood snake that was divided into two parts suddenly twisted. One half pounced on the Taoist disciple who instantly fired the golden arrow, blocking his movement. The other half twisted away from here like a snake.

!

There is no doubt that the treasure called Mingzhu is in this half of the blood snake.

"Mingzhu can be given to you." Wei Yan pulled out the long knife from the man's heart, his voice as cold as frost: "But I will kill all of you who came today!"

At the same time, experts who had been lying in wait for a long time appeared everywhere in Maplewood City.

An attacker had just set a fire, and the next moment he was shot into a hedgehog, and the flames were extinguished instantly.

On the other side, the bloody Taoist pounced on the passers-by, and saw the waves turning, the rolling logs roaring... a series of Taoist techniques blasted the attacker into pieces.

Maplewood City was well prepared, and almost all the experts were dispatched, so a disaster was suppressed immediately.



"What happened?" Hearing several screams from far away, Jiang Wang immediately picked up Jiang An'an.

The hunchbacked old man named Gui also immediately held Qingzhi's hand.

"No need to panic." Wei Quji in the stands stretched out his hand and said, "The game continues!"

Outside the martial arts arena, except for the soldiers who maintained order, the city guards dispersed in groups.

The people watching the game were not afraid. If something happened to Wei Quji and Dong A, they would not be safe anywhere.

Moreover, these city guards were obviously performing military duties, and they did not dare to leave and disturb them.



Inside the arsenal, Wei Yan strode out, almost roaring: "Shen Nanqi, why didn't you stop that bloody snake just now? Don't say you can't do it!"

The blood snake fled with the underworld candle. It only took a few passes for such a delicate small object to disappear without a trace.

This also means that the "bait" Wei Quji took out has been eaten. They must kill all the "fish".

A disciple of the Cheng Daoyuan named Shen Nanqi roared back with the same loud voice: "I know what Mingzhu is? Who told me? Since you have plans and preparations, why don't you reveal it to us? I My fellow junior fellow student is dead, died in front of me!"

There was a faint golden light in his hand. If it hadn't been for this moment, he would have almost been tempted to throw the golden arrow at Wei Yan's face.

"Our city guard brothers died more." Wei Yan's face was as dark as water.

He may not want to explain, but before turning around and leaving here, he still added: "We don't know the lurking situation of those people. If they are not kept secret, they will not show up."

Who? Shen Nanqi still wanted to ask, but did not say anything. He knew he would not get the answer.

At this time, he even thought about it. Perhaps it was Wei Yan's arrangement that he was able to be lazy here today. Among the Taoist disciples who did not play in the game but happened to be "free" and could hold off opponents of this level. , and there is no one more suitable than him, Shen Nanqi.

The fifth in Maplewood City’s Taoist Honors List is Shen Nan.

I don’t have a favorite person, but the person I hate the most is Wei Yan.

Unfortunately, although he is also good at Jinxing Taoism, he is no match for Wei Yan.
