The fierce battle on the second floor of Xiulou was coming to an end. Gong Mi's ups and downs became more rapid, and his uncontrollable moans became louder and louder.
The muscular man beneath him also made sounds of pain and pleasure. Suddenly, after violent shaking, the movement stopped abruptly.
Gong Mi clasped his hands with his fingers spread out, as if he was practicing the exercises and remained silent and motionless. But the man's face quickly deteriorated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he became seven or eight points haggard in an instant.
A quarter of an hour later, Gong Mi waved her hands and cast spells continuously. After exhaling a breath of turbid air, she became even more energetic. She ignored the half-dead man. With the sound of "pop", she stood up and stood in front of the bed.
Then he looked at where Bai Liming and Yuan Chaoxi were just now, thoughtfully.
…
At midnight the next day, Bai Liming, Yuan Zhaoxi, Zuo Sisi, and General Zhou looked at the dark hole on the ground with relaxed expressions. After looking at each other, Bai Liming took the lead and walked into the cave.
After that, Yuan Chaoxi followed closely behind, and the two of them explored the road ahead together. Zuo Sisi and Zhou Jiang were more than ten meters behind them, pressing the formation from the rear.
The four of them walked along the narrow passage that sloped downward for about three or four miles. Suddenly, a huge underground cave appeared in front of them.
The cave is more than ten feet high and has a radius of fifty or sixty feet. There are all kinds of strange stalactites hanging upside down from the top of the cave, like sharp teeth in the mouth of a demon. There are a circle of arm-thick torches inserted into the surrounding stone walls, which are illuminated by the swaying red light.
It's even more eerie and terrifying.
In the center of the cave is a flat and smooth stone platform with a radius of five or six feet. On the stone platform, seven people are tied and kneeling on the ground. There are men and women, old and young. Everyone has a look of fear on their faces.
look.
A circle of guards from the Tongfu Gang stood around, watching them eagerly to prevent them from making any changes.
Tongfu's master Liang Li yawned, and then waved his hand. Several guards stepped forward, each clamped one person's cheek, pinched open their mouths, took out bottles of unknown drugs, and gave them to the seven people.
Drink it down.
After a while, the seven people twitched all over and let out shrill screams. Some even foamed at the mouth, fainted and collapsed on the ground.
Upon seeing this, General Zhou rushed out to save people, but Bai Liming hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and sent a message: "Brother Zhou, don't worry, we must find sufficient evidence that the Tongfu Gang turned into monsters before we can bring him to justice."
"If we go to save people now, we will only end up in vain. Besides, Gong Mi hasn't shown up yet. It would be a pity if she escapes if we scare the snake."
Although General Zhou couldn't bear it, the overall situation was more important, so he had no choice but to give up.
Suddenly, on the cave wall where Baili Ming and the others were facing each other, an iron door more than ten feet high slowly tipped over under the pull of thick iron chains on both sides, forming a platform protruding from the rock wall. A high-pitched and ethereal voice sounded.
Suddenly it sounded:
"In ancient times, there was a sacred tree, where the soul returned. A thousand years old is spring, and a thousand years old is autumn. In ancient times, there was a sacred tree, where the soul rested. The dry clouds blocked the sun and towered into the sky..."
Gong Mi slowly walked out of the secret passage and stepped onto the iron gate platform step by step. She was seen wearing a slim white robe and a tall hat shaped like antlers and dead branches. She raised her hands
There is a branch that is more than four feet thick and has a few green leaves on the top of the branch.
There are dozens of colorful cloth strips sewn on the back of the two sleeves, which sway gently with the twisting figure, giving it a unique charm.
She was dressed like an ancient barbarian priest, which made Baili Ming and others stunned and confused.
Gong Mi was still repeating the mysterious sacrificial chant, and the guards on the stone platform also knelt on the ground, raised their hands high, and chanted loudly together.
Gong Mi walked to the edge of the platform, stopped, raised his chin slightly, stared at the top of the cave, and suddenly shouted: "The soul is back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the branches in his hands glowed with green light, and at this moment, the stalactites on the top of the cave that looked like they were hanging upside down also glowed with green light, echoing it.
The green light shot towards the stone platform and transformed into a tall tree. The huge tree crown shrouded the stone platform. Dots of green light fell down like fallen leaves. The seven people seemed to be soaked in green ink, with green light lingering all over their bodies and their bodies trembling.
more intense.
Suddenly, someone let out a shrill howl, and his body began to expand and contract, suddenly growing a long tail and a protruding wolf snout, and then suddenly changing back to human form, over and over again.
Not long after, two more people also experienced the same change, and their screams echoed one after another in the cave.
After a stick of incense, the green light stopped falling, the phantom of the giant tree gradually blurred, and the few leaves on the branch in Gong Mi's hand actually withered.
The seven people on the stone platform stopped changing, but in the end they still maintained their human form. Seeing this scene, Baili Ming and the other two people thought at the same time: "Has this ritual of transforming into a human into a demon failed?"
At this time, Gong Mi felt angry, but she did not stop the ceremony. Instead, she waved the branches again and recited the ritual incantation. The magic circle was activated again, and the phantom of the giant tree became clear again...
Seeing the people on the stone platform huddled together again, groaning in pain, Zhou Jiang couldn't help but send a message to Zuo Sisi beside him: "Zuo Si, are we just going to watch them suffer here?"
Zuo Sisi nodded and said: "Now the evidence is obvious, no wait, let's take action now."
Then he sent a message to Bai Liming and Yuan Chaoxi who were hiding behind the stone pillar not far away: "Bai Li, let's do it?"
After waiting for a while, there was no response. Zuo Sisi tried to transmit the message several times, but still to no avail. Feeling worried, he quietly came to the two of them, only to see Bailiming resting his forehead with his hand and lowering his head.
at every turn.
However, Yuan Chaoxi's face was pale and his whole body was trembling slightly, as if he had fallen into some frightening dream.
Zuo Sisi's heart tightened, but he didn't dare to make any big moves. He just pushed Baili Ming gently.
Fortunately, Bai Liming immediately woke up from his sluggish state. When he saw Zuo Sisi's questioning eyes, he waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
Afterwards, Bai Liming was about to wake up Yuan Chaoxi, but at this moment Yuan Chaoxi seemed to sense Bai Liming's thoughts, and slowly regained consciousness, with an embarrassed look on his face, he pulled up his hair at the temples, changed the topic and asked: "
It’s not too late to save people, let’s discuss the next step.”
Zuo Sisi glanced at Bai Liming and Yuan Chaoxi with a strange expression, and thought to herself: "These two people really have something wrong. They deserted during the war. Fortunately, it did not cause a big disaster."
After that, the four people quickly communicated a plan, and Bai Liming took the initiative to ask Ying to deal with Gong Mi.
But Yuan Chaoxi insisted on going by herself. The reason she gave was that it was more appropriate for women to deal with women. She even gave Bai Liming a teasing look as she spoke.
Bai Liming knew what she was implying, and although he felt helpless, he didn't insist anymore.
But Yuan Chaoxi's real thought was to stay away from the magic circle that made her heart palpitate.
The reason why she was distracted just now was because after seeing the magic circle, an unknown force in her blood seemed to be stimulated, and it was ready to move in an instant, with the momentum of breaking out of her body.
This experience opened up her dusty memories. If she wasn't still in the process of training, Yuan Chaoxi would have wanted to leave here now and go back to Kaiyang to confirm something with her father.
Finally, it was agreed that the four soldiers should be divided into three groups. Yuan Chaoxi would deal with Gong Mi alone, while Bai Liming and General Zhou would go together to deal with the guards first, while Zuo Sisi took the opportunity to save others.
The phantom of the giant tree in the magic circle once again shed a little green light, and the screams of the seven people became more and more shrill. The situation was urgent and the war was about to break out.
