"What? Your dean will lead a team to the cave world?" Qin Xingbao almost jumped up when he heard Qin Ziling's words.
Then soon, Qin Xingbao rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "That's great. Your hospital leader is very powerful. With her leading the team, we will definitely get a lot of benefits."
"It seems that what you said before about trusting me was all a lie!" Qin Ziling couldn't help teasing, remembering that Qin Xingbao had previously been ready to risk his life and go to the execution ground, but now he was excited and eager to set off immediately.
"Hey, how could it be possible? But with one more grandmaster, we will definitely have more protection!" Qin Xingbao scratched his head and said.
Qin Ziling smiled and didn't bother to expose him.
…
Wuzhou, like Xiyunzhou, also has eight counties under its jurisdiction.
However, each county under Wuzhou is not as vast as Xiyun Prefecture in terms of area. In terms of prosperity and wealth, the number of strong people and so on are much greater than that of the entire Xiyun Prefecture. Even the top counties are richer and more powerful. It can crush Xiyunzhou in other aspects.
Changyong County is located in the middle level among the eight counties under the jurisdiction of Wuzhou.
The Wuzhou Qin family has a relatively powerful branch in Kunchong County, Changyong County.
This branch of the family has a master who is in charge, and is also in charge of Kunchong County and a cave world in Kunheng Mountain.
Kunheng Mountain is not high and is located on the boundary of Kunchong County. The highest peak is only 1,500 meters.
On a gentle slope of this highest peak, a tall and majestic castle was built against the mountain.
Below the castle, more than two hundred meters away, there is a strange ground covering an area of about thirty or forty acres.
To be precise, that cannot be called the ground.
Because there was no soil, water, stones, vegetation, etc. in that area, it was just pitch black. From a distance, it seemed as if that area had been swallowed up by darkness, with a piece missing.
The pitch-black plane looks somewhere between reality and fantasy. From time to time there will be ripples like water waves, but it is clearly not water.
Suddenly, the dark surface rippled quite a bit, and a ferocious wolf head suddenly emerged from underneath, and then its entire body suddenly jumped up from under the dark surface.
Its body is strikingly like a human body, and it is also upright, but its hands are in the shape of claws, with long hook-like claws, and its body is covered with a layer of green scales like armor.
The surface of the green scales constantly exudes traces of strange aura.
This breath flow stirred the surrounding space, and a bird flew through the space. A pair of small eyes that seemed to be a little smart suddenly revealed a ferocious smell, screaming and charging at a companion. They went over and started fighting in the air, with feathers flying everywhere.
As soon as this wolf-like but not wolf-like, human-like monster jumped out from the dark plane, I don't know if it smelled the bloody smell in the mountains or sensed the dangerous atmosphere coming from the castle. It immediately headed towards the mountains in the opposite direction to the castle. Galloping away, as fast as the wind.
At this moment, a crossbow arrow the size of a spear shot out from the castle and roared through the void.
"Stab!" A sound pierced through the body of the monster leaping in mid-air.
"Bang!" The monster fell to the ground.
As soon as this monster hit the ground, monsters of different shapes jumped out one after another from the dark plane, roaring and screaming and running around.
Huge crossbow arrows roared through the void, killing these monsters one by one.
Suddenly, a monster with a body shape similar to that of a giant ape, but covered with thick scales, one of its arms was like a giant claw, the other was like a scimitar, and there were bone spurs on its back jumped out of the dark plane.
"Dang!" There was a loud noise.
The giant ape monster slashed down with its machete-like arms, and actually cut off the spear-like crossbow arrows that were shot at it.
"Previously, those monsters were just ordinary earth demon soldiers, with the strength of ordinary martial arts masters, and the giant crossbows in the city could kill them. But this monster is a demon guard, with the strength of the great martial arts masters, and it is difficult to kill the giant crossbows guarding the city.
"On the wall of the castle, there stood a middle-aged woman with high bun, thin face, and cold expression. She pointed at the giant ape monster and said calmly.
Behind the middle-aged woman stood eight people. Gu Jun
Two women and six men.
This middle-aged woman is none other than Qin Zitang, the head of the "Mighty Courtyard".
There were two women and six men standing on both sides behind her, two of whom were naturally Qin Ziling and Qin Xingbao. There were also six people, two of whom were disciples of the "Wei Wu Yuan", one named Qin Xingyong and the other named Qin Xingzhen.
Both of them are direct descendants of a branch family with a master in charge of the Qin family, and are great martial arts masters in the later stages of bone refining.
The former is a tall, burly, thirty-year-old man, and the latter is a thirty-one-year-old woman who looks petite but is full of explosive power.
Qin Xingyong brought two followers, both of whom were great martial arts masters in the late stages of bone refining, and were both between fifty and sixty years old.
Qin Xingzhen brought two followers, a man and a woman. The man was a great martial arts master in the late stage of bone refining, and the woman was a great qi refining master in the middle stage of Zhenyuan. They were both between fifty and sixty years old.
While Qin Zitang was speaking, three great martial arts masters wearing armor and holding giant swords had jumped down from the castle.
The three great martial artists ran as fast as flying and surrounded the giant ape demon guards in a blink of an eye.
Three great martial arts masters besieged the demon guard, and not long after, the demon guard was killed.
After killing the demon guard, the three great martial arts masters picked up the demon guard's body and returned to the castle, while the corpses of the other slain demon soldiers were thrown directly back into the dark plane.
As soon as the body fell to the surface, it disappeared as if it had sunk into water.
"Magic soldiers have almost no value." Qin Xingbao explained to Qin Ziling in a low voice.
Qin Xingyong and Qin Xingzhen on the side saw Qin Xingbao explaining in a low voice to Qin Ziling, and they both glanced at them slightly, which was a bit contemptuous.
Qin Ziling glanced at Qin Xingbao speechlessly.
Is this guy as wise as a fool or as foolish as a wise man?
Isn't the answer obvious? He is not a fool, and he needs to be specially explained to him!
"Okay, you all should know what the old demon is about. When we go down, try not to leave me too far. If there is danger, send a signal." Qin Zitang stood on the castle and watched for a while. She said lightly, and when she spoke, she specifically glanced at Qin Ziling.
Obviously, what she said was mainly for Qin Ziling.
"Yes!" Everyone replied with a slight bow.
"Elder Zitang, everyone, I am waiting for your triumphant return." In the castle, an old man with blood as strong as the sea said to Qin Zitang and others, cupping his hands.
This old man is the martial arts master responsible for guarding Kunheng Pass and the head of the Kunchong County branch of the Qin family.
When Qin Zitang and others heard this, they all bowed their hands to the old man and then jumped down from the castle and came to the edge of the dark plane area.
"Let's go!" Qin Zitang stretched out one hand to Qin Ziling and the other to Qin Xingzhen.
Qin Ziling quickly stretched out one hand to grab Qin Zitang's hand, and the other hand to grab Qin Xingbao's hand.
When Qin Xingyong saw Qin Zitang reaching out towards Qin Ziling, a look of envy and jealousy flashed across his eyes.
Qin Xingzhen glanced at Qin Ziling and Qin Zitang in surprise.
Speaking of which, judging from their standing positions, it should be easier for Qin Zitang to hold hands with Qin Xingyong, and Qin Xingyong's family background is far stronger than Qin Ziling's.
There are now two martial arts masters in the family, which can be regarded as a big branch in the entire big family. Moreover, he became a great martial arts master in the late bone refining period the year before last, when he was twenty-eight years old. Compared with Qin Ziling's current age of twenty-six In fact, the age is not much inferior.
If you think according to normal people, you will definitely favor and take care of Qin Xingyong more. After all, Qin Ziling's branch comes from the remote Xiyun Prefecture and is a single descendant of the fifth generation. He is the only pillar. His overall strength is too weak and his background is basically the same as Qin Xingyong's. There's no comparison.
However, Qin Zitang's character is a bit strange in the family. He usually only does things based on the interests of the family, with little consideration of personal interests, and does not participate in the power and interest struggles of various clans in the family. Therefore, Qin Xingzhen was only a little surprised, not much. think.
