As a result, after approaching the hut for fifty feet, there was still no movement.
I searched for perception and found nothing.
"There's really no one!"
Ye Chen relaxed his vigilance.
Any retreat place will have restrictions or formations set up around it to prevent one from being plotted while in retreat.
But this hut, and even the entire giant mountain, did not sense the existence of formations or restrictions.
This proves that Chen Beiluo may not be here anymore.
"Go in and take a look, maybe you can find some clues."
As Nangong Dou flew towards the hut, he waved his hand casually, and the broken ax in his hand instantly turned into a ray of light, disappeared into the palm of his hand.
Ye Chen also put away his regicide sword and followed.
Inside and outside the hut, there are overgrown weeds and it is unpopular.
"I've been gone for at least ten years!"
After checking the situation in the hut, Nangong Dou snorted coldly: "This coward, it seems that the competition that year must have caused a lot of psychological shadow on him. Even if he comes to a hidden place like Qijue Peak, it can't make him feel better."
Really find peace.”
"Senior, have you ever been in seclusion deep in the palace, and have your heart truly been at peace?"
Ye Chen asked.
"I'm not talking to you. Don't answer questions without asking, otherwise you'll look pretentious."
Nangong Dou snorted coldly.
Ye Chen didn't care and landed directly at the front door of the hut.
The door panel has rotted away and is riddled with holes, a phenomenon that only occurs after being eroded by endless wind, frost, rain, and snow.
Ye Chen waved his hand casually, and the spiritual power surged from his palm, instantly shattering the wooden door.
But before the wood slag could scatter, Ye Chen waved his hand again, and all the fragments were wrapped in spiritual power and flew back, gently scattering on the ground.
He didn't want to destroy everything in the house.
Because every subtle clue in it may provide him with a very valuable reference.
However……
"boom!"
As soon as he finished his cautious movements, there was a loud noise, and the entire hut exploded, turning into endless fragments and scattering.
What caused all this was a powerful spiritual hand waving from the side.
The person who took action was none other than Nangong Dou.
"Chen Beiluo doesn't want this guy anymore, what do you cherish for him?"
Nangong Dou snorted coldly and walked into the ruins with a very arrogant step.
"Senior, you..."
Just as Ye Chen was about to say something, Nangong Dou waved his hand instantly, "I know what you want to say. I'm a little rude and not polite enough. But don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
"actually……"
"okay!"
This time Ye Chen still just spoke, but was interrupted by Nangong Dou again, "I know you want to search here to see if there are any valuable clues, but people have been gone for so long, so you should take away those who should be taken away."
If you leave, there will definitely be no... ah?
asshole!"
Halfway through his self-righteous words, he turned into a rant.
Because while he was talking, the stone slab under his feet suddenly cracked to both sides, revealing a huge hole.
"Hmph, it's such a ridiculous trick to plot against me!"
Although Nangong Dou was frightened, even if his feet suddenly became empty, he did not fall, but was suspended in the void.
But immediately, there was a loud "clatter" of chains, and black chains suddenly emerged from the ground, and wrapped around Nangong Dou's feet in the blink of an eye.
"Little tricks!"
Nangong Dou naturally remained calm and waved his hand.
"Zheng!"
There was a burst of metal trembling, and the broken military ax appeared out of thin air in his hand. He held the ax handle and swung it towards his feet.
"Keng clang clang!"
Where the ax blade passed, the black chains broke and the tail fell back into the hole below.
"Chen Beiluo, this bastard, he should have known that I would come looking for him sooner or later, so he set up a trap to assassinate me. He is simply a sinister villain!"
Even with such curses on his lips, he was still afraid of something new happening, so he quickly flew away from the suddenly exposed hole.
However, the opportunity seems to have ended here.
After Nangong Dou flew over, the hole closed again with a mechanical sound of "click".
"Ye Chen, what exactly did you want to say just now?"
It was not until the crisis was safely passed that Nangong Dou seemed to realize that he had made a mistake and asked again.
"Junior just wants to remind you, senior, that there are agencies there, but it's a pity that senior doesn't wait for junior to finish what he said every time."
Ye Chen shrugged.
"Tsk, what can this little mechanism do to me?"
Nangong Dou disapproved and said: "Chen Beiluo looks down on me too much. Such a clumsy mechanism can be used to trick some warriors below the quasi-imperial realm. If you want to trick me, it's just...ah, no, I
It seems to be poisoned!"
Before he could finish his boastful words, Nangong Dou yelled again.
At the same time, he stamped his foot on the ground.
"boom!"
The legs of his trousers were torn apart, turning into powder and flying away with the airflow.
Looking closely, I saw a few thin needles, thinner than a hair, vaguely visible on the ankle that was wrapped in chains.
Even though Ye Chen has amazing eyesight, it would be extremely difficult to spot him if he looked carefully.
The places where the fine needles hit have begun to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye, and have begun to spread in all directions.
"So there are poisonous needles hidden on the chains?"
Nangong Dou finally realized it and said angrily: "Chen Beiluo, this sinister and vicious villain, what kind of poison did he give me?"
Although he kept cursing, Nangong Dou's expression completely changed.
Although he frantically used his spiritual power to expel the poison, the poison was extremely powerful and continued to spread. Before long, the ankles of both legs were blue and purple, and holes were cracked on the surface, with pus and blood gushing out.
.
"What kind of poison is so overbearing that even I can't forcefully get rid of it?"
Nangong Dou was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
But the more angry he gets, the faster his qualities spread.
"Senior, please stop dancing!"
Ye Chen reminded, "If this junior guesses correctly, once this poison enters the body, it will follow the blood and spread throughout the body, and can even corrode spiritual power."
“Little friendly eyesight!”
Nangong Dou nodded in agreement, forced himself to calm down, and stared at his feet that had rotted to the point of revealing their bones. A ruthless look suddenly appeared in his eyes, "My legs are probably useless. It seems that I can only
Only by enduring the pain and giving up love can the poison be prevented from spreading throughout the body!"
At the end, he cursed fiercely, "Chen Beiluo, this bastard, if I meet him, I will cut him into pieces with a thousand knives!"
After saying that, he raised his broken ax and prepared to chop off his legs.
Although losing his legs would make him an incomplete person.
But for him, whose cultivation has reached the peak of the emperor level, the impact will not be great.
Because he can already fly in the air, he doesn't need his legs to walk at all.
In addition, when performing various combat skills, most of them do not require the use of legs.
Therefore, instead of watching the poison spread throughout the body, it is better to cut off the leg as soon as possible to save yourself.
"Wait a minute!"
Ye Chen immediately shouted and said meaningfully: "Senior, why don't you ask the junior first?"
Nangong Dou looked over and seemed to understand something in an instant, and said with emotion: "You can chop it off, after all, it is my legs, it would be a bit cruel to do it yourself."
As he said that, he stretched his legs out in mid-air, closed his eyes, and looked like he was letting Ye Chen slaughter him.
Ye Chen suddenly broke into a cold sweat, "Senior, what this junior means is that your legs may still be saved."
"Okay, it's just a pair of legs, what's the big deal... What did you say?
Can my old legs be saved?"
Only halfway through his impassioned words did Nangong Dou realize that he had misunderstood. He hurriedly opened his eyes and looked at Ye Chen with a burning gaze.
