"There must be a rare treasure in the box!" Hu Yandong said with certainty.
"Maybe there are fragments of the Tiangong map." Ouyang Zilan said.
"I really want to open the box quickly and see what's inside." This was Ouyang Wuwei's voice.
"If you want to open the box, you must get rid of those mechanisms." Ma Xiaoyao's voice was a little low: "Those short arrows made of fine steel are okay... As long as we are far enough away, they can't hurt us... The most dangerous thing is
Those poisonous smoke are extremely toxic and can move."
"This is indeed a problem." Hu Yandong nodded: "Those poisonous smoke are so corrosive that if you get even a little bit of it, it will immediately turn into a pool of blood."
"Attack with fire." Ouyang Zilan suddenly thought: "Burning everything with fire should suppress the poisonous smoke."
"How to attack? Just light a fire in the palace? Then burn us to death?" Ma Xiaoyao said angrily.
"I just said it casually. If you think it's not possible, just pretend I didn't say anything." Ouyang Zilan curled her lips and was criticized by Ma Xiaoyao over and over again, making Ouyang Zilan feel even more embarrassed.
"How about water?" Ouyang Wuwei said hesitantly: "Water can accommodate all things. No matter how overbearing those poisonous smoke are, they will probably bow their heads once they encounter water."
"Use water..." Ma Xiaoyao thought for a moment: "This idea is feasible..."
"Just use water." Hu Yandong nodded: "This is the best way I can think of so far." At this point, Hu Yandong paused: "Just in this way, we have to make some water bottles.
Tools, because there is no water source within a hundred miles of Black Swamp, so we can only bring water with our own tools."
"Leave it to me." Ma Xiaoyao volunteered: "I am now the manager of the farm, and I can mobilize some people to help build water-filling tools."
"You can mobilize manpower, but you must pay attention to confidentiality."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"Actually, that big turtle is not an ordinary creature. It has lived for at least hundreds of years and has almost become a sperm. If you use its meat to make soup, it will definitely be a great tonic."
"Then try to get the turtle out next time."
"The soft sword in Xiaoyao's hand is so sharp that it can dismember the turtle and then take it out again."
…
Everyone talked to each other and discussed all the things to be done next.
After returning to the imperial city, everyone began to split up.
As soon as Ma Xiaoyao returned to the farm, he heard a shocking news. Prince Tiger was dead! And everyone in the family, old and young, was dead! He was killed by someone. According to the on-site investigation, the murderer should be one person, and one person actually
Killed Prince Tiger's entire family? What a terrifying person this is? You must know that Prince Tiger himself is a ninth-level warrior, and there are hundreds of guards in the house...
"Sir, the atmosphere in the imperial city is very tense now. The emperor has ordered a strict investigation of the case, and the murderer must be brought to justice!" Niu Liu said: "And the emperor has also issued a reward for anyone who can provide clues.
I will receive a large reward of silver, and if I can catch the murderer and bring him to justice, I will be given a high ranking official."
"This is all nonsense." Ma Xiaoyao pouted: "One person can kill all the Tiger Princes. How powerful is this? Who dares to provoke him? Unless he is tired of living!"
"My subordinates think so too. The murderer is so cruel that almost no one dares to provoke him." At this point, Niu Liu paused: "Those powerful people are all in danger, for fear that the murderer will find them next. However,
...The people below clapped their hands and applauded, saying that the Tiger Prince died a good death, and praised the murderer for getting rid of harm for the people."
Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "From this we can see how hateful the Tiger Prince is. The people's eyes are sharp. The Tiger Prince has done many evil things over the years, and now that he is dead, the people must be extremely happy."
"Sir, where have you been these past few days?" Niu Liu asked.
"Go out to do some errands." Ma Xiaoyao said casually: "By the way, Niu Liu, I give you a task, you must complete it beautifully."
"My lord, please give me your instructions."
"I'll give you five days to gather people to make some water-filling tools. The bigger the capacity, the better."
"Okay, no problem, I'll do it right away."
After Niu Liu left, Ma Xiaoyao went to take a hot bath, then went back to the room to rest. He went to the Black Swamp and almost lost his life there. In the end, he was lucky enough to come back alive, but he was exhausted.
When I woke up, it was already the next morning.
"Have a good sleep, it's so comfortable." Ma Xiaoyao stretched, then got up and walked out. There was a person standing outside the door. When he looked carefully, it was Niu Liu. Ma Xiaoyao asked doubtfully: "Niu Liu
,Why are you here?"
"Sir, someone died again last night." Niu Liu said in a low voice.
Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "Who died?"
"He was still a prince." Niu Liu said: "Hundreds of people in the house were killed, even the infant babies were not spared. In the end, the murderer even set a fire and burned down the palace."
"Another prince died?" Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "This murderer is really bold... Killing the prince is nothing, but not even sparing the baby is a bit too much..."
"I heard that the emperor was so angry that he sent a large number of people to search every house in the imperial city. The murderer was not found, but many people who committed crimes were caught. This can be regarded as an unexpected surprise." Niu Niu
Liu smiled.
"As a result, those powerful people are probably even more afraid."
"Definitely. I heard that some powerful people directly added a lot of guards to protect their mansions like ironclads."
"Who did it? He wanted to kill everyone at once. How much hatred is this?"
"He must be a master! Maybe he is a level 10 warrior!"
"Tenth level warrior?"
"The two dead princes were both ninth-level warriors. There are many powerful guards in the palace. Besides tenth-level warriors, who can kill a whole family with one person's power?"
"...What you said makes sense. If the murderer is really a tenth-level warrior...then the matter will be serious..."
"Anyway, the murderer only targeted those powerful people, and it has nothing to do with us. We just need to hide and watch and have fun." Niu Liu also didn't like those powerful people, dragging them one by one as if they were worth 2,580,000 yuan, usually with long eyes.
On his forehead, he looked down on the poor people and deserved to be killed.
"It would be fine if we only target those powerful people." Ma Xiaoyao said softly: "I'm afraid... that after the murderer kills all the powerful people, he will turn around and deal with the common people."
"Can't?" Niu Liu was startled.
Ma Xiaoyao sighed: "We have to be on guard! The whole family is full of murderers, even infant babies are not spared, which is enough to show the cruelty and bloodthirsty of the murderer. Such a cruel person cannot act according to common sense."
"What should we do?" Niu Liu asked: "We are alone and cannot deal with the murderer."
"Let's observe for a while before we talk." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "If the murderer only targets those powerful people, then we can rest assured. If he becomes crazy and wants to deal with the common people... it will be a catastrophe."
After listening to Ma Xiaoyao's words, Niu Liu's mood became a little heavy.
In the following days, many dignitaries were exterminated, including five princes, eight county princes, and thirteen marquises. When the murderer was committing the murder, he was blocked by the guards who came over, and then there was a
During the battle, although there were many guards, they could not stop the murderer. After leaving corpses on the ground, the murderer walked away.
…
Royal Palace.
Tai Chi Palace.
Jin Tianwei was sitting on the dragon chair, his brows furrowed and his face very ugly.
The eagle stood in the main hall, his face tense and silent.
The atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.
a long time……
Jin Tianwei slowly asked: "Are you sure? The murderer is really a tenth-level warrior?"
Xiongying nodded: "According to the surviving guards, the murderer was very powerful. He defeated a ninth-level warrior with one punch, and thousands of guards could not block him. He is definitely a tenth-level warrior."
"It's been so many years... no tenth-level warrior has appeared..." Jin Tianwei's eyes flashed with stern light: "Life is lonely...it's so cold at high places...and now a tenth-level warrior suddenly appears...let me have it..."
My opponent is finally no longer lonely..."
The eagle opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say the last word. He looked like he had some concerns.
"Pass a message to me, saying that I want to challenge the murderer. If he still has the dignity of a warrior, he will come out and challenge him!" Jin Tianwei said word by word.
Jin Tianwei waved his hand: "I have made up my mind, don't say any more, go and send the message quickly!"
"...Yes..." The eagle sighed helplessly, turned around and strode out of the Tai Chi Hall. After coming out of the Tai Chi Hall, the eagle looked up at the gloomy sky and said to himself: "Is it necessary?
Has the weather changed?"
…
It didn't take long for the news that Jin Tianwei had challenged the murderer spread throughout the imperial city. People who heard the news had different expressions, some were happy, some were sad, and some didn't care.
"Hey, have you heard? The emperor is openly challenging the murderer and wants to fight the murderer to the death!"
"Of course I heard about it!"
"Do you think the murderer dared to fight?"
"I wonder! Who is the emperor? He is recognized as the number one expert in the secret realm. Even if the murderer is a tenth-level warrior, I am afraid he would not dare to fight against the emperor!"
"What you said is too absolute! If the murderer dares to kill powerful people one after another, it shows that they are not afraid of the emperor!"
"Listen to what you mean...the murderer is going to accept the challenge?"
"I'm not the murderer, how do I know? I'm just making a guess. You need to watch it slowly to see what the outcome will be."
…
farm.
Ma Xiaoyao and Niu Liu sat together, drinking tea and chatting.
"Sir, do you think the murderer will accept the challenge?" Niu Liu asked.
"I don't know." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "Although the murderer is ruthless in his actions, he is very cautious. He always escapes unscathed every time he commits an attack! It is obvious that the murderer is not a reckless person."
"My lord, the murderer won't accept the challenge?" Niu Liu raised his eyebrows.
"I'm just making a little guess. I can't say exactly what it is." Ma Xiaoyao picked up the teapot and filled the cup, then picked it up and took a sip: "It's just like drinking tea. Tea brewed from different tea leaves has different tastes.
It’s different. Drink it when the water is hot and drink it when it’s cold. The feeling is also different. The tea you just brewed today and the old tea left yesterday will definitely taste different..."
Niu Liu blinked: "Sir, what you said is too profound, I can't understand it."
"It's okay if you don't understand." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile: "Go back and think about it yourself. If you can figure it out, you will be a master, and your future achievements will definitely not be lower than mine." After saying this,
Ma Xiaoyao stood up and left.
"We were obviously talking about the murderer, but then we talked about drinking tea..." Niu Liuhu's big eyes flashed with confusion on his face: "What does the murderer have to do with drinking tea? Mao has nothing to do with it either!"
After several days, the murderer responded: Jin Tianwei, don't worry, I will fight you again after I kill all the nobles!
Were those powerful people simply frightened out of their wits?
Damn it!
You actually want to kill all the powerful people? This is too cruel!
If you can't afford to offend, you can always hide!
All the dignitaries in the imperial city moved into the palace, bringing their families with them, and the scene was very lively. Fortunately, the palace was big enough, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many people. Even so, the palace became crowded.
"bump!"
Jin Tianwei slammed his beloved tea cup to the ground: "Asshole! How dare you be so arrogant! See if I don't peel off your skin! Eagle!"
"Here is my subordinate!" Xiongying took a step forward.
"Pass a message for me again!" Jin Tianwei said with a livid face: "Tell the murderer that if he is still a man, he will come out and fight with me. If he can beat me, I will give up the throne! If he dare not
If you accept the challenge, you are just a coward! You bastard bastard!"
"Yes!" the eagle responded.
"Why don't you go do something?" Jin Tianwei suddenly became unhappy when he saw Xiong Ying standing still.
"Your Majesty, those powerful people..." Xiongying said hesitantly.
"What's wrong with them?" Jin Tianwei asked impatiently.
"They gathered together and made a lot of noise and made the palace full of smoke. It was really unbecoming."
"Go and tell them that you can take refuge in the palace, but you must abide by the rules here. Anyone who dares to be dishonest will get out of the palace!"
"Yes, I will go and deliver the order right now!" Xiongying saluted with clasped fists, then strode away.
"How come these bad days never end?" Jin Tianwei sighed bitterly. After his emotions calmed down, he began to wonder who the murderer was: "Could it be a ghost that is worried about... butchering people?"
The whole house is Gui Jianchou's favorite thing to do... The key is... Gui Jianchou was seriously injured, which caused a great loss in strength. He shouldn't have recovered his strength so quickly... If it wasn't Gui Jianchou, who could it be? Could it be?
Is it Hei Wuchang? He was at the peak of the ninth-level warrior, but was seriously injured and defeated... Counting the days, more than a hundred years have passed. Maybe Hei Wuchang has broken through the bottleneck and become a tenth-level warrior... Well, these two guys
