In fact, these three people were not weak in cultivation and each had their own specialties. Unfortunately, they were unlucky and bumped into Aunt Zhu who was lurking in the forest.
In order to catch these three guys running around, the Crypt Spider Queen completely missed the professional skills competition between Dong Rui and Cao Wendao, and secretly felt that it was a pity.
"We can't keep them." Dong Rui didn't care whether these three people lived or died, pointed at them and said to No. 66, "It's yours."
No. 66 stepped forward, took one bite at a time, and swallowed it all in three seconds without even chewing.
Its mouth is not big, and its size is not big either. Before the other monsters could see what it was doing, the three cocoons on the ground disappeared.
Aunt Zhu also looked sideways. With such a scavenger, it is very convenient to destroy corpses and eliminate traces. Unlike her, it is easy to kill people but difficult to destroy corpses.
"The big team is coming." Dong Rui said hurriedly, "I'm leaving first!"
The last two words lingered, and the ghost ape had already led him to jump into the mud palace, and the other two demon puppets spontaneously followed him in.
The snail toad sank its head and dived into the ground with the hard shell on its back.
Aunt Zhu looked around the messy battlefield, moved her eight legs, and disappeared into the dark night the next second.
￥￥￥￥￥
Boom, there was a loud noise in the west. Everyone turned their heads when they heard the sound and saw a plume of smoke rising from the sky.
Was there an explosion?
The vibrations spread from the direction of Taoxi to everyone's feet.
Qingyang's expression changed. She stopped He Lingchuan in person. Why was there another explosion there?
Could it be that He Lingchuan's three hundred men and horses were just a cover-up, and someone else was chasing Cao Wendao?
No, it shouldn't be.
She knew Cao Wendao's abilities very well. If anyone dared to chase him, he would just end up with his head.
Unless He Lingchuan sends an entire army.
"What happened?" she said openly, "go over and take a look!"
He Lingchuan was also cursing Dong Rui in his heart, why did he make such a big fuss right out of the gate?
But he pinched the horse's belly, and the mount jumped out like an arrow, seizing the downhill road first.
Wan Qifeng and other elite cavalry followed closely behind, blocking the road tightly.
How Qingyang blocked them before, they will block Qingyang now.
"It's probably because the gunpowder was improperly stored again! Gunpowder self-explosion in the eastward expansion project has appeared all over the place!" He Lingchuan reined in his horse and turned around, "It has disturbed the Lord Supervisor. These idiots will never be redeemed. I will send someone to deal with it right now."
This time it was his turn to speak in a measured, calm and powerful manner, as if he really wanted to seek justice for Qingyang.
Moreover, the eastern suburbs of Tianshui City were originally a large construction site, with excavated yellow mud everywhere and materials piled up everywhere. Who dares to say that Taoxi didn’t stockpile anything, and who dares to say that there were no explosives in the pile?
Irregular construction and improper preservation, isn’t that common?
He applied the Taoxi explosion to the project, but there are actually two reasons for it.
"I'm going with Master He." Qingyang still doesn't know that he is stalling for time. "Let's see what kind of explosives can be so powerful."
It's funny to say that she was the one delaying time for Cao Wendao to escape, but now it was He Lingchuan who wanted to drag her away from the scene.
He Lingchuan coughed and hesitated before saying: "Master Supervisor, please."
After that, turn around and ride.
He could be informal, but Zhao Song had to bow to Qingyang first and make a "please" gesture before leading his men to He Lingchuan and separating him and Qingyang into two groups.
Taoxi is not far away, this section of the road is only two miles away, but the ground is muddy and the soles of the horses often slip.
Soon, a rich green appeared in everyone's field of vision.
The vegetation along the stream is always the densest.
The thick smoke has not yet dissipated, guiding everyone in the direction of progress.
Not long after, they arrived at the stream bank.
Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone was stunned.
There were two damaged carriages in the open space beside the stream. The horses pulling the carriages fell a few feet away, and carriage parts were scattered everywhere.
One of them is still burning.
Qingyang looked around with a straight face: "This doesn't look like a hoarding camp."
The place beside the stream was empty, with only traces of burning bonfires. Did Cao Wendao originally settle down here?
Qingyang's men went to the carriage to check, and soon came back to report:
"Palace Master, there is a big hole in the ground with traces of an explosion. The temperature was very high at the time, but the explosives were not buried in the soil."
How could it explode so powerfully without being buried in the soil?
"Dynamite used to open mountains, right?"
Everyone dispersed to inspect, and soon someone reported:
"There are two bodies in the grass more than twenty feet away. They were indeed killed by the bomb."
More than twenty feet?
Qingyang frowned slightly, but He Lingchuan looked like an old man.
Yes, just now Dong Rui told him that he and Cao Wendao were fighting and walking, and the battlefield had moved and was no longer by the stream.
He Lingchuan was also very interested in what the showdown between the demon puppet masters would be like, but he didn't think he would be standing still and fighting against each other.
There were fallen trees everywhere, showing the intensity of the fighting; there were pools of dark red or light green mucus on the ground, like blood flowing from the bodies of certain creatures.
Someone or a monster was injured, and the injury was serious.
Qingyang frowned.
She recognized that the dead bodies were Cao Wendao's disciples, and she had seen them following Cao Wendao.
Since his disciple died by the stream, what about Cao Wendao?
Can he successfully retreat?
Qingyang's men also dug up the bodies of three flying snakes in the nearby grass.
Zhao Song saw it for the first time. He picked it up and looked around, feeling curious: "This is the first time I have seen a snake with wings. This thing looks weird. Is it born like this?"
"It doesn't look like they were born." He Lingchuan looked at the corpses of the flying snakes and knew that most of the injuries on their bodies were caused by the bat demon puppets.
I didn't see any of Dong Rui's demon puppets here, so they should have followed him to the next battlefield.
Dong Rui knew that once the explosion occurred, Qingyang and He Lingchuan would rush over.
In order not to be disturbed, he and Cao Wendao retreated while fighting. The battlefield was no longer by the stream.
Wan Qifeng and Wan Qiliang suddenly carried the two of them and ran over from the forest: "These two fell in the forest, unconscious!"
It looked like he was knocked unconscious by the explosion.
"Okay!" He Lingchuan perked up and said before Qingyang, "Hand over to Commander Zhao!"
Zhao Song was sent by King Yao to protect him and represented the royal power. Now that something like this has happened, Zhao Song has the right to interrogate the two prisoners.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qingyang frowned, although he knew that these two were Cao Wendao's disciples, there was no reason to ask them over.
Besides, how could he easily hand over the prisoners who fell into He Xiao's hands?
Zhao Song immediately said: "Check the injury."
Don't let these two people die before they speak.
Immediately, two medical soldiers came forward, felt the pulse, opened the eyelids, listened to the heartbeat, and fiddled for a while before reporting: "He may have been knocked unconscious by the explosion, and his internal organs were shocked, but his life is not in danger."
He Lingchuan knew that the two people were probably far away from the carriage at that time, so he saved his life.
Qingyang's men had been observing the surroundings and immediately reported: "The traces of the fighting have gone all the way to the northwest."
"Chase!" She didn't care about the life or death of Cao Wendao's disciples. But she had a bad feeling. Could Cao Wendao be reliable this time?
Everyone ran a hundred feet northwest. Yuan Xuan found a mark on the big tree on the roadside: "Palace Master, Ah Qi left a mark and went to the true north."
Before Qingyang intervened to intercept He Lingchuan, he first sent three of his men to find Cao Wendao, and Ah Qi was one of them.
The mark he left was of course pointing to Cao Wendao.
Yuan Xuan whispered in Qingyang's ear again: "There is no news from Ah Qi and the others. I just sent a message to them, but there was no reply."
Naturally, there are some methods of real-time short-distance communication between Qingwei and Qingwei.
Qingyang immediately asked him: "What were the last three messages they sent back?"
"There is movement in the woodlands to the north."
"Something is following us!"
"And the last one..." Yuan Xuan recalled, "To the north, it's very close."
Qingyang immediately turned around and said to everyone: "Go to the north."
He Lingchuan was stunned: "Wait a minute, shouldn't we go northwest?"
Qingyang saw his eyes flashing slightly and his expression a little nervous, so he naturally decided to head north more firmly.
Others were unable to do so and had no choice but to accompany him.
After walking north for more than a quarter of an hour, Ah Qi's mark appeared twice. It can be seen that it was carved in a hurry, and the content was the same:
There is a strong enemy, go north!
Finally they came to an open space, which was bare and did not grow much vegetation. It might have been a saline-alkali land.
There were traces of trampling and dragging on the ground. Three throwing knives were nailed to the bodies of two small trees not far away, and three or four branches were broken.
Not long ago, a battle broke out here.
Qingyang’s experience can be known at a glance:
The battle lasted only a short time and was fought in an unconventional manner - there was no blood.
The opponent is very strong, and the whereabouts of her men are unknown.
She glanced at He Lingchuan, who looked as normal and was observing his surroundings.
Is this He Xiao's arrangement? From a time perspective, it's unlikely; but she knows in her heart that it's probably him!
Also, what about Cao Wendao?
There is no sign of him and the demon puppet here.
At this moment, a strong wind blew by, and there seemed to be several roars mixed in the wind, faintly visible.
"Southwest!" Qingyang quickly raised his head, "Let's go!"
But just as everyone mounted their horses, several loud noises were heard from the southwest!
It exploded, and it exploded again.
Moreover, the intensity of the explosion this time was unprecedented. From such a distance away, the ground beneath everyone's feet was trembling.
Without any further urging from Qingyang, everyone galloped towards the southwest.
The explosion has just occurred, which means that the conflict is not over yet. If you rush now, you may see the person involved.
Four miles further west, there is another open space.
The scene here is even scarier than that at the edge of Peach Creek.
Even Zhao Song couldn't help but shrink his neck: "What kind of monster is this?"
A huge crater was blown out of the ground, and inside lay a huge creature with a dark red body and spotted patterns. It could reach three feet in length and had a mouth so big that it could fit a dozen people into it at the same time!
But this big fish just fell to the ground helplessly and quietly, with a big hole in its belly and its intestines flowing all over the floor.
The fish blood that flowed out filled a puddle, and the fishy smell hit your nostrils.
Everyone gathered around the pit to look at it, and they all found it incredible. Such a big monster could actually appear around Tianshui City, and it was not registered?
It's scary to think about it carefully.
He Lingchuan subconsciously touched its belly: "It's still hot."
