Early in the morning, the rain stopped. I don't know if it was because of the rain, but the air became fresher.
Qi Kongming opened the door, stretched, and looked at the sun in the sky. There was a colorful halo around the sun.
Thinking of what happened last night, Qi Kongming frowned.
Forget it, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge.
At this time, Sima Qingyun also pushed out the door and saw Qi Kongming who was looking at the sky.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Sima Qingyun asked with a relaxed look.
Qi Kongming was silent for a moment.
"Not bad." Qi Kongming lied. He didn't sleep last night and had been practicing.
He didn't want to tell Sima Qingyun what happened last night. If it was the Huo family or He Jie, then both parties were his own fault. He didn't want to involve Sima Qingyun, he wanted to solve it himself.
"Let's go have breakfast." Sima Qingyun had no doubts and took Qi Kongming to the eating place.
"Aren't you waiting for Senior Sister?" Qi Kongming asked.
"No need." Sima Qingyun said.
Qi Kongming shook his head and became more awake. After all, he didn't sleep all night last night and was still a little lacking in energy.
Soon, they solved the stomach problem, and at this time Ao Tianshuang also found them.
"Let's go, I guess I have a mission today." Ao Tianshuang said, and then brought Qi Kongming and Sima Qingyun into the lobby.
At this time, there were already many people here, and many elders also appeared in this place.
Qi Kongming, Sima Qingyun, and Ao Tianshuang found a secluded place and stood there waiting for the elder to speak.
After a while, everyone seemed to have arrived, and an elder coughed, making the entire hall quiet.
Then, Elder Lin stood up and said: "Last night, we, the elders of the seventy-two sects, the Lord of the Dead City, and King Wu of the Yanhua Kingdom discussed some matters regarding this war."
"The most important thing is to know the location of the dead creatures and when they will arrive at the Dead City, so each of the seventy-two holy sects, the dead city, and the Yanhua Kingdom will send a scout team.
"
"Now it's time to choose a team from among you. There doesn't need to be too many people."
Elder Lin stopped when he said this, and the entire lobby suddenly became noisy.
"Quiet, quiet." After a while, Elder Lin began to say again.
"Select a scout team from among you. There is no need to go too far into the hinterland of the dead. I just want you to see when their vanguard will arrive, so safety can still be guaranteed."
Elder Lin's words made those who were originally afraid that something might happen relax a little.
"We elders will go to the hinterland of the dead tribe, so you can relax."
"So, who is willing to go now?"
As soon as Elder Lin said this, several team leaders immediately expressed their wishes.
After all, this is a mission where it is easy to gain military honors.
"Do you want to go?" Sima Qingyun asked Ao Tianshuang. This kind of mission, which is easy to obtain military honors, has to be fought for.
"Go." Ao Tianshuang said concisely. She squeezed through the crowd and walked in front of the elders, expressing her team's willingness to go.
As soon as Ao Tianshuang said this, many people shut up. After all, she was the strongest disciple among the Xuanwu Sect's five-dollar cultivation disciples. If she went, no one would object.
This caused all the elders to fall into deep thought for a while.
At this time, a voice suddenly appeared.
"I'll go too." A handsome man came out and said.
Bingmai’s recognized senior brother, Wang Yu!
He is also the only person in Wu Qian's cultivation who can compete with Ao Tianshuang.
Ao Tianshuang and Wang Yu each have a team.
There are only three people in Ao Tianshuang's team, herself, Sima Qingyun, and Qi Kongming.
There are four people in Wang Yu's team, himself, Huo Xiaotian, Sun Tzu Wu, and Li Shang.
Ao Tianshuang, the second most evil being on the heavenly list, Sima Qingyun, the eighth genius on the earthly list, Qi Kongming, the fourth best on the mysterious list.
Wang Yu, the evil being ranked sixth on the heavenly list, Lin Shang, the genius ranked sixth on the earthly list, Sun Tzu Wu, and Huo Xiaotian are all among the hundred on the mysterious list.
It has to be said that Xuanwu Sect's disciples rank very high in the four lists of Tiandi Xuanhuang. This also shows that Xuanwu Sect is also among the best among the seventy-two holy sects.
It can be said that Wang Yu's team is a level better than Ao Tianshuang's team.
After such a comparison, it seems that the result of who to choose is already clear.
When everyone thought it was Wang Yu, the elder said something different from what everyone thought.
"Then let's go with Ao Tianshuang's team." Elder Lin said this. Everyone was surprised, but Ao Tianshuang himself had no reaction.
"Why?" Wang Yu frowned and asked. He thought that this opportunity must be his, but he didn't expect that it would be snatched away by Ao Tianshuang, which made him very annoyed.
"There is no reason, we just decided, let's break up, Ao Tianshuang and the other three can stay." The elder next to Elder Lin suddenly spoke. Wang Yu wanted to refute, but when he saw it, he turned out to be the elder of Bingmai.
So I backed away wisely, after all, my elders wouldn't let me go.
Following the words of the elder next to Elder Lin, the others withdrew one after another.
Only three people remain here.
Ao Tianshuang, Sima Qingyun, Qi Kongming.
"Tian Shuang, this mission is very simple. You just need to go out of the city and go southeast to investigate. There are many sects responsible for this direction, so be careful when the time comes and don't conflict with people from other sects." Lin
The elder said slowly.
The Death City is surrounded by the Death Mountains on three sides, except for the north direction which is not surrounded by the Death Mountains.
"Yes, I will definitely complete the mission." Ao Tianshuang replied.
"This mission requires a thousand military merits." Elder Lin said.
Qi Kongming and Sima Qingyun were both secretly shocked. They must know that killing a dead creature with a cultivation level of one qian is worth one military merit, a dead creature with a cultivation level of 2 qian is only worth 5 military merits, and a dead creature with a cultivation level of 3 qian is only worth ten military merits.
A dead creature with a cultivation level of four cents only has twenty military merits, and a dead creature with a cultivation level of five cents has only eighty military merits.
It's unusual for such a simple task to have a thousand military merits.
After Elder Lin finished speaking, he walked out with the other elders. Ao Tianshuang immediately led Qi Kongming and Sima Qingyun towards the east gate.
Somewhere in the Xuanwu Sect's mansion, the elder who stopped Wang Yu was talking to Wang Yu.
"Wang Yu, take your team and follow Ao Tianshuang and others to protect their safety." The elder ordered.
"Protection? Why?" Wang Yu asked, is there any danger in this trip?
"Don't ask why, just do as you are told." The elder's face straightened and he said.
Wang Yu had no choice but to take three other people and follow Ao Tianshuang and the others from a distance.
Ao Tianshuang and the other three arrived at the east gate very quickly. The guard at the east gate asked them to bring a sachet. This made Qi Kongming and the others very strange. However, seeing that the teams leaving the city were all like this, they took the sachet with them.
, I just have precautions in mind.
However, Wang Yu's team and some other teams did not need to bring sachets. They just followed the team from their own sect from a distance.
"Is it okay to do it like this?" Elder Lin looked at the retreating figures of Ao Tianshuang and others at the east gate of the Dead City and said.
"As long as we can lure those bone dragon guards out, we can go in and seal the Well of Death. Then we will win this war and they won't have any complaints!" Elder Tian You said next to Elder Lin.
"I just don't know if this thing brought by King Wu is useful. Can it draw out those bone dragons?" Elder Tian still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"It should be possible. King Wu would not joke about this kind of thing." Elder Lin turned around and said.
"Don't worry, my brother found this from the royal books of Yanhua Kingdom. It was written by my ancestor, Emperor Cangling, and it will definitely not be biased." At this time, a middle-aged man came over and said,
He had a resolute face and was talking as he walked.
"I hope what you said, King Wu, is right." Elder Tian said with a smile.
In the distance, Wang Yu took out a dozen talismans that the elder had given him before leaving. He looked at them a few times, thought for a moment, and realized that Ao Tianshuang and the others were about to leave. He put the talismans back and followed them.
.
Outside the Death City, there is a plain full of boulders, and then there is the Death Mountain.
At this moment, the Death Mountains have been completely occupied by the dead tribe. They are densely packed and terrifying.
Many dead tribesmen slowly descended the mountain and headed towards the dead city.
Their vanguard has been walking on the plains for a long time, but these skeletons move slowly, so the distance traveled is not enough.
As for the previous statement that the Dead City had been surrounded by the Dead, it was just a little lie told by the Lord of the Dead City in order to quickly support the Seventy-Two Holy Sects.
Ao Tianshuang, Sima Qingyun, and Qi Kongming were flying in the southeast direction.
Not far away, there were some teams, going in the same direction as them, but the farther they ran toward the Death Mountains, the farther apart they became.
"Sister, what do you think is the use of this?" Qi Kongming said holding the sachet hanging on his waist.
"There must be some special circumstances this time. If you don't tell us, just pretend it's a reconnaissance mission. This thing is probably a bait or something to save your life." Ao Tianshuang said calmly, she had to say
He is very smart, and he has guessed pretty well.
"Doesn't that mean that we people might be bait? But what kind of things can we attract?" Sima Qingyun asked.
"Then I don't know. The reason why I thought we were bait is because I felt someone following me." Ao Tianshuang smiled and said.
Qi Kongming and Sima Qingyun looked behind them at the same time and found nothing, only some huge rocks.
"Okay, there's no need to read. We'll make peace with you now that we've come. The elders won't let us go to die." Ao Tianshuang said, and the speed of his feet increased a little. When Qi Kongming and Sima Qingyun heard this, they turned their heads and followed.
Ao Tianshuang ran quickly.
Around the Well of Death, those bone dragons were originally crawling around the Well of Death. Suddenly, something came from the air. Some bone dragons seemed to be awakened and flew away in one direction at extremely fast speeds.
The skeletons on the road were crushed to pieces.
One after another, the bone dragons began to get angry and rushed in different directions.
Only a relatively large bone dragon with a pair of bone wings still stays by the Well of Death, but it seems to be enduring something. (To be continued)
