The galloping cavalry stopped. Then everyone dispersed and slowly searched around. Only Li Nuo and the middle-aged scholar with the sword on his back were left.
"Brother Li, are you sure the letter says that the young sect master will be brought here to pay homage to his ancestors? We walked and searched all the way, and found no trace of anyone except the deserted graves.
Could it be that he was pretending to be attacking in the east, but actually he took the young master and fled to other places?"
The scholar looked around with a frown, his eyes a little anxious, and turned around to express his worries.
The big man on the other horse was also touching his chin with one hand, looking thoughtful.
"You shouldn't be bluffing. I fought against him before coming here. I didn't expect that the boy was very fast despite his young age. Brother Ximen and I both underestimated him. So with his skills, if he wanted to kidnap the young man,
If the Lord escapes, there is no need to leave a unnecessary letter. If he leaves directly, it will be difficult for us to search immediately." After a while, Li Nuo still expressed his judgment.
"You mean that person deliberately led us here? The young master is not in any danger?" The scholar seemed to suddenly think of something.
"It's very possible. If it's really revenge, there's no reason to just capture the young master alive and injure the others until they're unconscious. You're a veteran of the martial arts world. Have you ever seen anyone who seeks revenge be so merciful to his enemies?"
?" Li Nuo raised his eyebrows and slowly explained the strangeness.
"Brother Li is still careful. But this would be even more troublesome. We have no idea what that person wants to do. And you also know that Manzhongqiu is very strange now. It would be too much for us to break in like this."
It’s an adventure.” The scholar calmed down a little, but he still couldn’t hide his uneasiness.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that our number one sword would be afraid of ghosts and gods. People like us who live on the edge of the sword will have to take a detour when ghosts see it. I have been too leisurely recently, and I have lost all my blood.
It would be bad if you lose it." Li Nuo laughed and reached out to pat the scholar on the shoulder.
The scholar smiled awkwardly and was about to say something to defend himself. Not far away, a whistle arrow suddenly shot into the air and made a sharp whistle.
The two looked at each other and hurriedly rushed over. Not long after, the scattered people came to the place where the sentry arrow was shot, and were shocked by the scene in front of them.
I saw a thick mist gathering in a large pit, bright red like blood, rolling and surging like boiling water.
A big man fell unconscious on the edge of the red mist. Only his upper body was exposed, and his lower body was submerged in the mist. He held an empty quiver tightly in one hand. The simple knife fell a few steps away.
There are many traces of big men struggling to grab the ground on the ground.
Under the horrified gaze of everyone, the big man's body slowly shrank and shriveled up, and it didn't take long before he became a mummy.
Just when everyone was so frightened by the scene in front of them that they forgot to escape, a desolate horn sound came leisurely from the red mist. The originally quiet horses suddenly went crazy, and suddenly everyone fell off, far away.
He ran away without a trace.
Everyone got up in despair, but before they could turn around and run away, they saw that the rolling red mist suddenly stopped, then quickly became thinner and dissipated, revealing a dark underground cave.
At the same time, a large number of tombs around the cave rose upwards, the soil cracked and rolled down, and skeletal hands suddenly stretched out from the bulging tombs.
"Run." At this time, Li Nuo could no longer think about what was happening in front of him and could only yell subconsciously.
When he turned back, his heart suddenly sank. At some point, a circle of faint red mist had risen and surrounded them all. On the nearby graves, many white skeletons had completely crawled out.
Approaching precariously.
Even the big man who had just died stood up unsteadily and walked slowly towards the crowd. Li Nuo looked over and inadvertently saw a familiar waistband placed at the feet of the big man.
At this moment, it seemed like there was no need to explain anything.
"Formation!" Li Nuo yelled again, and everyone woke up as if they had found a backbone. A group of four people quickly separated and stood together. The four people acted as horns for each other, each protecting his side, and the panic suddenly decreased.
A lot.
The scholar walked forward slowly and took off the long sword on his back. Li Nuo shook his right hand, and a silver-white nine-section whip fell from his sleeve. The two stood back to back. "Brother Li, I said
, this time is quite bloody."
Li Nuo smiled bitterly, "Brother, I can't help you. I never thought that I would be so smart all my life, but I would fall into the hands of a young boy, and I would involve so many people."
"Who knew it would be like this, that's all." After saying this, the scholar held a sword in one hand and leaped forward...
In the dark cave, Sun Huo and Li Yan opened a distance of ten steps and walked slowly one behind the other. The passage kept going downwards, which was filled with a strong mixed smell of blood and corpse stench, which made them feel uncomfortable.
People feel like vomiting when they hear it.
After not walking very far, Li Yan had to stop, tore off a piece of his clothes to cover himself, and held his breath as much as possible. After walking down the downward slope for about ten feet, the passage became straight. Being underground, the journey was silent, and Li Yan felt unspeakably uncomfortable. Even the temperature had dropped a lot, and the only warmth left was the torch in his hand.
Not long after, he saw Sun Huo in front stop. Li Yan didn't think much and hurried up. Soon he saw the reason for stopping. There were two holes in front of him, the left was larger and the right was smaller.<
/p>
After understanding what was going on, Li Yan remained silent. He wanted to see how the young man in front of him made his choice.
Sun Huo knelt down and looked carefully at the marks on the ground by the light of the torch. After a while, he stood up and walked towards the hole on the right.
Li Yan was very confused, but he followed calmly. After walking for a short distance, he found a strange place. The road was going up. It went down and up again. Li Yan couldn't help but say hello in his heart.
I looked at the owner of the passage.
It didn't take long before the road came to an end. It turned out to be a dead end with nothing but dirt.
This situation was obviously not what Sun Huo expected. Facing this empty passage, he was stunned for a moment.
At this time, Li Yan came up from behind and said, "Boy, this is what you said opened my eyes. It's really different."
