Almost at the same moment I pulled the trigger, the figure below seemed to have a premonition and suddenly took a step back.
When I wanted to adjust the shooting angle, it was already too late. The moment I watched the crossbow arrow fly out, I said "ouch" in my heart, thinking that this crossbow arrow was going to be wasted.
Just when I turned the crossbow and prepared to hit the figure below again, an incredible scene happened.
The figure who had already avoided the crossbow ball suddenly screamed, and then there was a flash of fire under the stairs.
The scene that just happened in the monitoring room happened again. The figure under the stairs was instantly on fire.
In the blink of an eye, the figure downstairs, together with the fire on his body, disappeared without a trace, as if this person had never existed at all.
Only the sound of crossbow arrows falling to the ground reminded me that there was someone here just now.
Didn't it miss?
I glanced at the crossbow in my hand in surprise. Things were moving too fast. Is there someone else below who pushed out the figure who was burned to death just now and landed on my crossbow arrow?
Just when I was wondering if there was someone else down there, the old Taoist priest Feng Tianlu at my feet raised his head, gave me a thumbs up, and said:
"I have gained a lot of experience today.
After all, it is an artifact from the sky, and it can actually turn and hit the target.
It’s incredible.”
From what the old Taoist said, he seemed to have seen how the figure was hit by a crossbow arrow.
I opened my mouth and said to him:
"Man, did you see how the man below was beaten?"
“It’s really true”
Feng Tianlu grinned at me and then continued:
"When your highness fired your crossbow, the man below had already dodged.
But no one thought that your crossbow would bend on its own
That man never dreamed that he would be hit by a crossbow even though he was two or three meters away."
This one also comes with GPS positioning. Otherwise, it’s called an artifact.
Just when I was surprised, Zhuge Zhengqi's words came from above my head, saying:
"Donor, if you have anything to say, please wait until you are in a safe place to say it.
The man below is dead, and his companions probably already know about it, and may have started to gather here."
This sentence reminded the old Taoist priest and I, and we said nothing at the moment. The three of us quickly climbed down the stairs.
There were still remains at the bottom of the stairs that Zhao Jingsheng had not burned just now. At this time, there was no time to take a closer look. Under the leadership of the old Taoist priest Feng Tianlu, the three of us walked out through a small corner door in the corner.
After coming out, there is a wide corridor. At the end of the corridor is the male resident Hexuan, which has also been turned into ruins.
When Zhuge Zhengqi and I were about to rush along the corridor, we were stopped by the old Taoist priest Feng Tianlu.
He grabbed both of our arms, pointed to the ceiling above our heads, and whispered:
"You two, go up.
Didn't I say that?
When I was running wires in Erlang Temple, I, Feng Tianlu, was always with me.
Although it is said that one cannot straighten one’s waist, not many people know that.”
“And this great place”
When we were talking, Zhuge Zhengqi and I looked at each other, and after watching him nod slightly, I continued to say to the old Taoist priest:
"Man, is there an exit up there?
Don’t end up being stuffed in a jar and being boiled by others.”
"I'll take care of things, your highness, don't worry"
While the old Taoist priest was talking, he opened a small hidden door next to it.
He got in first and said as he walked inside:
“Every floor here has network cables and wires, and you can go to all areas.
At that time, in order to avoid misunderstandings among people at Erlang Temple, they also resorted to means to block the aura above.
Unless you are a god, no matter how powerful you are, you will not be able to discover that there is someone hiding on the roof of the shed."
Zhuge Zhengqi and I looked at each other. Compared to the roof of the shed, the Hexuan in front was indeed more dangerous.
With no better choice, the two of us could only follow Feng Tianlu and enter the small door with him.
After entering, Zhuge Zhengqi immediately closed the small door again.
Then the two of us followed Feng Tianlu and climbed up the ladder to the ceiling.
This place is exactly what the old Taoist priest said, it is a narrow space.
After coming up, I could only squat on the ground and move forward step by step.
Every ten meters forward, there is an exit for electrical and network cables.
From the gaps here, you can see every move in the corridor below.
When we were less than a third of the way out, we suddenly heard the sound of someone moving and talking under our feet.
The three of us immediately stopped moving. Although the people below could not feel our presence, we still had to be careful. If something happened thousands of miles away, it would be too unreasonable to panic here.
At this time, I was at a network cable interface. I was lying on the interface and saw four or five stewards of Erlang Temple, surrounded by a dozen little Taoist priests, passing below.
One of them was second only to Fan Zuo. When I entered the Erlang Temple, someone introduced him to me, but it was so confusing at first that I forgot the name of the chief steward.
As the man walked, he said to his stewards and Taoist priests:
"Have the casualties been counted?"
A steward next to him sighed and said:
"Manager Yang, according to the data just sent in, sixteen fellow Taoists and four guests have died so far.
This is still a rough calculation. When the correct figures are finally obtained, the real number of casualties may be several times higher."
Manager Yang stopped, waved his hands to the young Taoist priests standing aside, and said:
"You guys go over first, I have something to say with some of the stewards."
After Manager Yang finished speaking, the little Taoist priests quickly left here very wisely.
After watching the young Taoist priests leave, Manager Yang whispered to his subordinates:
"Is there any news from the master?"
When no one answered, the steward who just wanted to report the number of casualties said:
"I have sent people to find Mingyue.
Recently, the master's decrees have been conveyed by this person.
But it seems that there is no news about the master."
Hearing his subordinate's answer, Manager Yang frowned, then he hesitated and whispered again:
"What about His Highness Shen Lian?
Is there any news about him?"
At this time, the only female steward stood up and said:
"His Royal Highness has shown his face before at Hexuan where the female guests live. He should have gone to find Miss Gege.
Then he disappeared.
Do you suspect that today’s incident has something to do with him?”
"Then who knows?"
Manager Yang gritted his teeth and continued:
"If this person doesn't show up, nothing will happen.
As soon as he showed up, something happened to our Erlang Temple.
The life and death of the former Chief Huangfu is now unknown, and now even our master is missing.
It's best if he dies together, otherwise, there is a high probability that this person is the same as the evil spirit that created the door."
