Several people walked slowly along the traces on the tile roof, and their footsteps made a cracking sound when they stepped on the tile roof.
After walking hundreds of steps and still not reaching the end of the palace's tiled roof, a shrill scream suddenly came from behind.
"ah!"
The screams were so terrible that I didn't know what happened.
"No, something happened!"
Chen Yulou's expression suddenly changed. He heard that the scream was coming from his men who were unloading the mountain. It was obvious that they encountered some dangerous situation behind, so he quickly looked at Zhang Shaozong and said.
"Brother Zhang, something happened to the brother behind you. Let's go back and take a look first. We will investigate the matter later."
"good."
Zhang Shaozong knew that those little centipedes must have appeared. Although those little centipedes were small, their poison was absolutely terrifying. If they were bitten by one, they would be dead. If they didn't go back to rescue them, all those who were in Xiling would have died there immediately.
He also nodded.
"Walk."
Seeing Zhang Shaozong nodding, Chen Yulou immediately gave a soft shout to Honggu and Kunlun, and they immediately turned around and headed back.
"ah--"
The shrill screams came again, and became more and more frequent.
The more Chen Yulou listened, the more anxious he became. He took three steps at a time and ran back to where the group of people had descended. Next to where the group of people descended, there was a large hole on the tile roof of the palace. From that big hole, one could descend into the palace. It was miserable.
The screams also came from the palace below the cave. At the same time, the fire inside the palace could be clearly seen. Apparently, Xieling and his party followed the cave and went inside.
"kidnapper!"
Chen Yulou, Hong Gu, and Kunlun rushed to the entrance of the cave immediately. They looked down through the opening and saw that in the main hall inside, Huamaguai and his party were dancing wildly on the ground around them with weapons, torches and other things in their hands.
On the ground and walls around them, there were densely packed black and red centipedes. These centipedes were not big, but there were too many, and they were like a tide, rushing towards Huamaguai and the others.
Someone was crawled up by a centipede, and then under the horrified eyes of Chen Yulou and others, they watched with their own eyes as if that person's body had been corroded by strong acid and turned into a puddle of corpse water in less than a minute, with no bones left.
"What centipede is this?!"
The faces of several people changed drastically. They were not unaware of the poison of centipedes, but they had never seen a centipede with such terrifying toxicity. It actually melted the whole person in less than a minute. The horror of the poison was simply unseen and unheard of.
"No, we have to rescue them, otherwise they will all die down there."
Chen Yulou's face changed sharply. He knew that he had to rescue Huamaguai and his party, otherwise they would definitely die inside. He looked at the centipede hanging ladder that Huamaguai and his party had put down. He originally wanted to ask Huamaguai to lead the people from the centipede.
They climbed up the ladder, but at this moment, the centipede ladder was also covered with dense centipedes that could not be touched. Some centipedes had even climbed up the centipede ladder to the tile roof. If this continued, they would all
Be dangerous.
"Commander, please leave quickly. Don't worry about us. Leave quickly!"
At this time, Huamaguai also noticed Chen Yulou coming overhead. When he saw the centipedes climbing up the centipede ladder to the tile roof, he quickly said.
"No, we have to go together."
"I come."
At this time, Zhang Shaozong took action and walked to the Centipede Hanging Stairway at the bottom of the connecting road. He formed a thunder seal with both hands and pointed at the Centipede Hanging Staircase. A bolt of thunder instantly flew out from his fingertips and landed on the Centipede Hanging Staircase.
On the ladder, a current visible to the naked eye is formed along the ladder body and conducted all the way down.
"Chi! Chi! Chi!..."
The centipedes that were originally climbing on the ladder where the centipedes were hung were instantly struck by lightning. They all turned into black smoke and fell from the ladder. In the blink of an eye, the entire ladder was cleared of centipedes.
The thunder swept the entire centipede hanging on the mountain ladder before it dissipated, and then passed to the ground below, directly clearing the ground into a circular open space with a diameter of several meters before completely dissipating.
"Spell?!"
Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle and others next to him were all shocked. Although they had heard about magic monks for a long time, they were not from the monastic world, so they had never seen real magic. Now they saw Zhang Shaozong's methods.
, couldn't help but be shocked.
"Come up quickly."
Zhang Shaozong ignored the shock of the group and looked directly at Huamaguai and others below and shouted.
"Quick, climb up."
At this time, only a dozen of the thirty or so people who had come down from Huamaguai were left, as well as Adjutant Yang. The others had all been killed by centipedes. After Zhang Shaozong's reminder, he suddenly woke up.
, quickly led the people back to the mountain ladder where the centipede was hanging and started climbing up one by one.
However, there were too many centipedes, and they were so dense that it was impossible to count them. Although Zhang Shaozong used his thunder method to kill one of them, more centipedes quickly came up again.
Zhang Shaozong once again used magic to wipe out these centipedes, but if he had to protect Xieling and others, he couldn't directly use range-based annihilation techniques, so he couldn't take care of them at all, because there were still many centipedes that had already crawled through the gaps in the tile roof.
People came out and rushed towards them from all directions on the tiled roof.
In the end, when Huamaguai and his party climbed up from the palace, seven more people were bitten by centipedes and died. In the end, only ten people escaped, including Huamaguai, Adjutant Yang and the other eight people who left the mountain.
"Quick, get up!"
After rescuing the living people from the palace, Chen Yulou immediately called on the group to climb up the centipede-hanging ladder and escape from the palace.
When everyone climbed up the ladder, and Chen Yulou himself climbed up, he suddenly found that Zhang Shaozong had not come up yet, and quickly turned to look at Zhang Shaozong.
"Brother Zhang."
"You guys come up first, and I'll come up later."
Zhang Shaozong said something and stared at the end of the tile roof. He had already heard a huge rustling sound coming this way, like some huge animal crawling. He knew that this was
The big centipede has been alarmed and is coming here. If he climbs up the ladder where the centipede is hanging, and the big centipede catches up and attacks him on the cliff, his strength will definitely be greatly reduced on the cliff.
After all, the big centipede on the cliff can walk on flat ground, but he cannot. He must always be careful not to fall. Otherwise, if he falls from such a high cliff, he will only fall to his death.
On flat ground, Zhang Shaozong was confident that he could hang the giant centipede, but if he was on a cliff, it might not be possible.
So Zhang Shaozong planned to stay and wait for the big centipede to come over and touch it to see if he could kill it directly.
"Swiss, swiss, swish!"
The violent crawling sound came closer.
"what?"
Chen Yulou and others who had already climbed up the ladder heard this and looked towards the end of the tile roof in surprise.
Zhang Shaozong also looked in that direction, and at the same time, he also paid attention to his feet. He saw that the small centipedes climbing up from all directions were approaching his feet like a tide. He immediately activated the thunder seal in his body and raised his right foot gently on the ground.
One step.
Refa.
"boom!"
Visible to the naked eye in an instant, a bright thunder light exploded directly from Zhang Shaozong's feet, and then directly formed an annihilating thunder light wave and swept out along the tile roof in all directions.
When the thunder light passed by, all the centipedes were turned into pieces and annihilated directly. In the blink of an eye, the area more than ten feet around Zhang Shaozong's feet was cleared away. Chen Yulou and others who were lying on the ladder were stunned to see this scene.
But the next moment.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
In the distance, at the end of the tile roof, you can see tiles flying, and the strong wind is raging. It looks like a torrent moving here quickly. From a distance, you can see the strong wind raging, flying sand and rocks, and you can still vaguely see the torrent.
There seems to be a huge black shadow in the middle.
"what is that?!"
Chen Yulou and others who had climbed to the top of the ladder cliff could not help but change their expressions as they looked at the rapidly moving torrent.
Chen Yulou quickly reminded Zhang Shaozong.
"Brother Zhang, be careful."
Seeing that the torrent was about to rush towards Zhang Shaozong, Zhang Shaozong instantly took out the Longyuan Sword from Najie with a cries, knowing that it must be the big centipede, but just when the big centipede was about to approach him less than a hundred steps away, the torrent suddenly stopped.
, everything calmed down, and everything that was originally disappeared.
"Gone."
Chen Yulou and others above were stunned.
Zhang Shaozong's eyes narrowed, and then he felt a sense of crisis rising from his feet.
Underfoot!
Without any time to think, Zhang Shaozong hurriedly used his feet and used his body to fly backwards. At the same time, Long Yuanjian raised his hand and struck out with sword energy towards the tile roof where he was originally standing. He almost flew backwards to avoid it.
moment.
"boom!"
The tile roof broke open, and a huge thing burst out of the roof.
