Fang Hongzhao and You Jiang, who were walking at the end, seemed to be saying something in low voices. Listening carefully, it was You Jiang who was scolding Fang Hongzhao, "The tone you spoke to the Lord just now is probably life-threatening."
Fang Hongzhao curled her lips. Even though she was timid in her heart, she still said, "He obviously went too far. I won't mention the matter of the Heavenly Sacrifice last time. How can I bear it when he comes again this time?"
You Jiang folded his arms expressionlessly, "I advise you to be careful in your words and actions. Do you think that the Lord, like the city lord, will take Feihua Valley seriously?" He spoke calmly, as if he didn't have anything too much for anyone.
mood.
Fang Hongzhao swallowed and immediately became timid, "I...I'm naturally not so conceited..."
"That's good." He said in a low voice: "Your temper needs to be tempered. If the city lord hadn't treated you differently, I wouldn't have reminded you again and again."
This is not the first time I have seen this man in black, Fang Hongzhi, but I can't say that I am familiar with him. He is following Yan Jue. Although he is a subordinate, he has more than just the rights of a subordinate. He is a very mysterious existence.
Fang Hongzhao glanced at him, "I always thought you were a killer, but I didn't expect you to be so loyal to the city lord. I'm a little curious..."
You Jiang still held his arms and didn't move his eyes.
Seeing that he didn't seem to talk about anything about himself, Fang Hongzhi naturally didn't want to get into trouble, "Let me ask you, why does the Lord treat Shu Ruo differently?"
"You should ask Miss Mo about this."
Fang Hongzhao looked at him, "If I could ask, why would I talk nonsense to you?" She was silent for a while, then couldn't help but said, "Hey, is it because the city lord likes..."
It was just a casual comment at first, but You Jiang used a hidden weapon in his backhand to directly cut off a strand of hair on her cheek, which frightened her so much that she immediately became unresponsive.
You Jiang lowered his voice, "If you don't want to talk anymore, I can cut off your tongue."
Before he could finish the threat, he saw him draw his sword and strike at her again. Fang Hongzhao was so frightened that she immediately closed her eyes.
From a distance, I heard Xiang Jingyi shouting: "Be careful in the water!!!"
Fang Hongzhao turned around to look, and happened to see You Jiang slashing through the shadow with his sword, cutting off a black shadow and falling back into the water with a splat.
"What!" She was so frightened that she immediately squatted down, holding the dagger in her hand tightly.
Everyone became nervous for a moment. Nothing could be seen under the dark water, and the sudden silence became very strange. You Jiang took off the torch stuck on the wooden trunk, jumped up to a nearby tree, stabbed it with his long sword, and hung it.
I looked down in mid-air. I don’t know whether it was because the night was too dark or the water was too turbid, but I couldn’t see anything clearly.
He drew his sword and jumped onto Yan Jue's wooden trunk.
"Can't see what it is."
Yan Jue touched his body and asked him sideways, "Do you have tung oil?"
You Jiang nodded, "Yes."
"Force it out."
You Jiang said yes and flew back to Fang Hongdrill. Yan Jue continued to move the wooden stake forward. You Jiang poured out the oil behind him and touched it with a torch. There was a loud bang and the whole swamp was lit up instantly.
Like daytime.
Everyone's attention was focused on the fire behind them, but they didn't expect that the black shadow would attack Hua Ci, who had been sitting prone.
Just because she was sitting, the cloak submerged in the water seemed to have become a bait. Hua Ci's center of gravity was unstable, and she screamed and was immediately pulled into the water. The support beside her was not paying attention for a moment, and the next moment she was thrown into the water.
Pick it up.
"Xiao Ci! Don't be afraid, daddy is here."
Hua Ci sat on the tree trunk and coughed twice, seemingly frightened and trembling all over.
He burst out in anger, turned his head violently, and felt a sudden surge of cold air all over his body.
"A Jue!" Pushing Hua Ci to Yan Jue's side through the air, Yu Hua stood quietly on the tree trunk with cold eyes. The naked eye could see layers of white frost on the tree trunk under her feet.
"Senior brother!" He hugged Hua Ci and looked at him worriedly. This is just a small trouble, so just go around it. Seeing him angry, he was afraid that something would happen to his body. "You Jiang."
The man in black stepped on the trees, jumped to Yan Jue's side, took the whip in his hand, and pulled everyone forward.
Over there, Yuhua Fuxuan's internal energy has exploded, and the temperature in the air instantly turned to subzero. He slowly opened his hands, and the water in the swamp rose into the sky like rain. Xiang Jingji turned his head and looked at the people close at hand.
The water droplets appeared in his eyes with shock. They had clearly condensed into ice needles and turned into invisible blades.
Although he had heard the Tianmu Peak Cold Warning Technique before, which was said to be almost magical, he had never believed it since he had never seen it. Now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he is more shocked and unbelievable. This kind of internal power can be controlled naturally.
, where can ordinary people have it!
Under the firelight, countless water droplets and ice needles floated on the entire swamp. From a distance, they looked like countless crystal clear lines, which was actually quite beautiful.
As Yuhua Fuxuan closed its momentum, the sharp ice needles in the air suddenly fell with great force, causing countless ripples. Blood gradually filled the air, and large areas of blood began to surface from the bottom of the water.
Suddenly, the tree trunk at Yuhua's feet was knocked away from the bottom of the water by a black shadow. For a moment, water splashed, and everyone could clearly see that it was a dark python, which was so big that it was as thick as the mouth of a bowl.
Yuhua Fuxuan took advantage of the situation and landed next to Fang Hongzhao, turning her head to look at her, "Is there any rope?"
Fang Hongzhao squatted on the tree trunk and was sweating profusely. Compared with his calmness, he looked really embarrassed.
She took out a thin rope from her bag, which was used to pick herbs from the mountains, and handed it to him, shivering from the cold air.
Yuhua squatted down and put her left hand into the water. For just a moment, when she came out again, she actually grabbed a bow made of ice. Fang Hongzhao's eyes widened in shock and she saw him quickly tying the rope at both ends.
After fixing it, he stretched out his right hand in front of her, and the water around him quickly rose up as if it was alive. He grabbed it casually, and there was another ice arrow.
If she were on level ground at this moment, she would probably collapse on the ground.
Yuhua stood up and strung her arrow, aiming at the python that was still flapping and hissing in the water, her eyes cold.
"Shua——"
It passed by with a sound and hit the center seven inches.
The constantly turbulent water surface caused the tree trunk to sway back and forth. Xiang Jingyi crouched down, holding onto the tree trunk with one hand and protecting Anal with the other. Such a scene was truly terrifying.
What kind of person is Yuhua Fuxiang!
Facing the firelight and the dying python, Yuhua lowered her hands. Without internal control, the ice bow instantly turned into water droplets and fell back into the water.
Fang Hongzhao looked at the rope that fell on the tree trunk and was almost dumbfounded.

In the dark underground palace, Mo Shuruo became more and more frightened as she walked. The torch in her hand had been burning for a while, but along the way, there were no torches on the walls. She had almost controlled her fear after walking alone for so long, but if she hadn't
If the firelight disappears into the darkness, then the previous inner defense may be completely destroyed in the blink of an eye.
This time she didn't have the leisure time before, and she didn't have any thoughts about continuing to explore the secrets. She just wanted to go out quickly. Even if she couldn't go out, it would be good to meet Anael and the others.
In the distance, she heard a clicking sound. She quickened her pace to look for the sound. When she turned the corner, she saw a giant figure. Mo Shuruo was so frightened that he clung to the wall. After calming down, he looked out again.
go.
The thing's fur was black and shiny, and it had a sharp beak and sharp claws. It was nestled there, and it didn't know what it was pulling out. Fortunately, it wasn't something weird. Mo Shuruo remembered that the animal was called a hidden rat, and some also said it was a ground crawler. She just
I knew this thing loved to dig holes, but I didn't remember it being so big, like a hunting dog.
Mo Shuruo held up the crowbar and slowly backed away, thinking that if it pounced on him, that claw would kill him!
It doesn't matter as soon as he stepped back, he stepped on the mechanism again. The wall that was originally closed turned over. Before Mo Shuruo could react, he fell backwards. This time he was not so lucky and fell directly into the water. There was a serious stench.
Let her jump up quickly. The torch was also extinguished, leaving only the faint pearly light at night. She was so frightened that she gasped and leaned against the wall, shaking.
The quiet underground palace was like another world, isolating everything. Mo Shuruo regretted a little. If he had known better, he would have waited for them in the tomb, and he would not have gotten lost and fallen into trap now.
She coughed twice, took off her heavy dress robe, found a torch on the wall, and blew it for a long time before lighting it up. Her mind was a little groggy, and her nerves, which had been tense, began to become a little fragile.
"This place is broken, I will definitely be able to walk out..."
Continuing along the tomb passage, this time he was completely lost. Mo Shuruo began to be indifferent and no longer expected that they would find him among the numerous tombs.

When everyone came to the place where Anal's body had been parked, Yan Jue found that the coffin was gone.
Anael ran down the stairs and ran to the middle, "It's gone...how could it be missing?"
Yan Jue looked at her and asked, "Is it possible that the mourners have been here?"
Thinking of this, it is possible. Anael was a little panicked, "Then where will they send the coffin?"
Yanjue shook his head, turned around and looked around. There was no other passage except the entrance. He walked onto the middle platform, looking for a mechanism that he was not even sure existed.
Everyone also started to look around. Fang Hongzhao touched the statue next to the platform and said to Yan Jue: "There are really too many things going on in this holy mountain. If I had a problem, I would really like to level it!"
Yanjue said nothing and continued to search.
Fang Hongzhao leaned on the statue and continued to chatter, "City Lord, this time I was ordered by my mother to follow Fang Baimei. I stayed here for so long because of you and Shuruo. If my mother blames me, you have to answer for it."
Let me speak!"
Yan Jue looked at her and pointed at the statue, "That's it, talk less and look more."
Fang Hongzhao pouted, stood up and touched the statues. There were four identical snake-shaped statues beside the platform, each holding a stone bead in its mouth. Fang Hongzhao poked here and there without thinking.
, and suddenly pressed the stone bead.
With a loud rumbling sound, Yan Jue, who was on the platform, immediately fell from the suddenly opened horizontal stone door.
Everyone swarmed around and found that there was a long staircase spiraling downward under the platform. Yan Jue stood there, caught the torch thrown by You Jiang, illuminated it, and greeted everyone, "The real tomb should be down there."
The group of people rotated down to the bottom, and there was only a sand pit in front of them. They searched for messages on the wall along the sand pit, knocking here and pressing there. Anal took out a map to check, "This is indeed the entrance to a tomb, look at the map.
It’s still very close to where I hid the blood jade.”
Yan Jue didn't hear what they were talking about. He squatted down and stared at the middle of the sand pit carefully. A silver hairpin reflected faint light under the firelight. Because it was mostly buried, the general shape could not be seen. But
He just felt very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"City Lord, be careful!" He suddenly turned around and found that Yan Jue had jumped into the sand pit. Fang Hongzhao jumped up suddenly and grabbed his shoulders. The originally silent sand pit felt the weight and immediately swallowed him down.
Yan Jue grabbed the hairpin and immediately pushed her away, "Don't come over."
"Sister Hongzhao, it's dangerous!" Hua Ci was close, so he used his backhand to pull her. This time, one by one, they all fell in.
"Xiao Ci!" Yuhua Fuxuan grabbed Hua Ci's hand in time, and with a strong force, he threw the two of them out of the quicksand pit.
Fang Hongzhi and Hua Ci fell so far that they couldn't find it and ate a mouthful of sand.
"Daddy!"
Seeing him vomiting black blood, Hua Ci was so frightened that she crawled and rolled around and hugged him.
Yuhua helped Xian comfort and said: "It's just a temporary attack of anger and blood. Don't cry. I'm fine."
When You Jiang ran over, it was too late, and Yan Jue was completely pulled down. He squatted next to him and looked at it, "There must be something strange under this quicksand. The city lord didn't struggle just now, so he must have discovered something."
Yuhua Fuxiu also agreed with his words. After what happened in the swamp just now, he was a little exhausted. After being helped up by Huaci, he calmly said: "Anal, take me to find Qilin Jue."
The banquet was definitely not here. Having seen the power of Yuhua Fuxiang, everyone was afraid and did not dare to say anything.
