Cao Chengguang said: "What the hell?" He came closer to see what was going on, but Chu Jianghe quickly put the canopy ruler back.
Cao Chengguang made a sound and said: "Stingy, what's so strange about a broken ruler?"
Chu Jianghe secretly disdained that Cao Chengguang was so blind that he didn't even recognize this treasure. Without the Canopy Ruler, they would not be able to leave even if they were in the Hunter Wind Valley where there were many spiritual springs.
Chu Jianghe said: "Where is the Demon Suppressing Pearl?"
Cao Chengguang chuckled and said: "When we get back, I will naturally show it to you." His eyes looked at Xiao Hongying who fainted and said: "What are you going to do with this girl? If you don't want it..."
Chu Jianghe glared at him and said, "You don't need to interfere with my affairs."
Cao Chengguang said: "You are extremely conflicted, right? You have a hard conscience if you don't take her away, but if you take her back, you worry that you won't be able to explain to her, and you won't be able to explain to the Mysterious Bureau, and you are also worried that the Mysterious Bureau will be detrimental to her, right?"
"
Chu Jianghe was touched by what he said. He pursed his lips and said, "Cao Chengguang, just mind your own business."
Cao Chengguang said: "You've hidden it well enough. You've even deceived me. Tell me the truth. Are you going to hand over the Demon-Suppressing Pearl to Xie Zhongjun or to Chu Canghai?"
Chu Jianghe did not answer his question, and could no longer hide the disgusted expression on his face. If Cao Chengguang hadn't obtained the Demon-Suppressing Pearl, he would never have been with such a person.
Cao Chengguang said: "You are really wary. If we want to cooperate, we should trust each other. Why don't you show me that ruler?"
Chu Jianghe said: "Unless you show me the Demon Suppressing Pearl."
Cao Chengguang actually nodded readily and said: "Okay.
Suspicion suddenly arose in Chu Jianghe's heart. Before, he had tried his best to persuade Cao Chengguang to take out the magic-suppressing pearl, but now he suddenly changed his mind. He estimated that there was probably a fraud in it, but then he thought about it. He was Cao Chengguang's only chance.
, except for himself, it is impossible for him to leave Netherworld Ruins. Cao Chengguang's mind will not be able to figure this out.
Chu Jianghe stretched out his hand to Cao Chengguang and asked him to take out the Demon Suppressing Pearl and give it to him first.
Cao Chengguang said: "Let's take it out together, no one can play any tricks."
Chu Jianghe knew that he was not that easy to talk to and always cared about everything he did. When he saw Cao Chengguang fumbled for something from his arms, he covered it with his two small hands.
Cao Chengguang said: "Together!"
Chu Jianghe handed the canopy ruler in front of him, and Cao Chengguang also showed Chu Jianghe his magic-suppressing bead. Chu Jianghe looked at it intently. The magic-suppressing bead was crystal clear and looked like a crystal ball. No, it was more like a crystal ball.
Like ice hockey.
Cao Chengguang said: "Take it and take a closer look." He gently threw the Demon Suppressing Pearl towards the Chu River.
Chu Jianghe reached out and caught it, feeling cold. Just as his attention shifted, Cao Chengguang had already taken action. He grabbed Chu Jianghe's canopy ruler like lightning and snatched it away.
Chu Jianghe said angrily: "What are you doing?"
Chu Jianghe had already spread out his two short legs and fled deep into the ice cave.
Chu Jianghe held the magic-suppressing bead, his palms were cool, and his heart was colder than his palms at the moment. Cao Chengguang, an old bastard, actually used an ice ball to perfunctory himself, used the ice ball to distract himself, and then took the opportunity to take him away
Chu Jianghe couldn't care less about chasing Cao Chengguang with all his strength.
Chu Jianghe said loudly: "Cao Chengguang, it's useless for you to take it."
Cao Chengguang's short figure turned from the front. When Chu Jianghe caught up, he found that there was no one in front of him. Chu Jianghe was shocked and failed. He was about to succeed and was about to leave this ghost place, but now even the canopy ruler was
Cao Chengguang was deceived, and now he is afraid that he will be trapped in Netherworld Ruins.
Chu Jianghe continued to follow the ice cave for a certain distance and found that Cao Chengguang had completely disappeared. Although the ice cave was very long, the front was straight and the end could be seen at a glance. There was no hiding place around, unless Cao Chengguang could drill into the ice.
But as far as he knew, Cao Chengguang shouldn't have the ability to get into ice and snow. Has this guy been hiding his ability all this time?
Chu Jianghe had no choice but to return to the place where he was just now. When he came outside, he found that Xiao Hongying, who had been knocked unconscious and lying on the ground, was also missing. Chu Jianghe was shocked. This time, he lost both his wife and his army.
She didn't get the Demon-Suppressing Pearl, she even lost the Canopy Ruler, and now Xiao Hongying is nowhere to be found. If she has some shortcomings, I may have a bad conscience in the future.
Chu Jianghe continued to walk out, hoping that Xiao Hongying would just wake up and leave on her own. If so, she wouldn't be able to walk too far. After taking a few steps, he stopped again. Compared with Xiao Hongying's Canopy Ruler and Zhenmo
Pearls were more important, but now Cao Chengguang had taken away both of them, only because he was careless and underestimated Cao Chengguang's despicableness. The more Chu Jianghe thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he decided to go back and look for it again.
After walking a few steps, he heard footsteps coming from inside. He looked intently and saw Cao Chengguang coming out. Chu Jianghe was surprised and happy. This guy was finally willing to show up. Since he left and came back, it proved that he was
He couldn't live without himself. Even if he was given the Canopy Ruler, he still couldn't live without his own help to guide the way.
Chu Jianghe glared at Cao Chengguang and said, "Where's the canopy ruler? Give it back to me quickly!"
Cao Chengguang said with an innocent face: "What canopy ruler? When did I take your canopy ruler?"
Seeing that he was still messing around, Chu Jianghe couldn't help scolding him: "Cao Chengguang, do you still want to leave here? If you keep messing around and miss the opportunity, I'm afraid you and I will be trapped in Netherworld Ruins.
Already."
Cao Chengguang let out a long sigh and said, "Did you hand over the canopy ruler to a person exactly like me?"
Chu Jianghe was stunned when he heard what he said: "What?"
Cao Chengguang said: "I was dragged down by Zhang Chi just now. He must have pretended to be me and defrauded you of the canopy ruler. Why are you so careless that you were deceived by Zhang Chi?"
Chu Jianghe's hands and feet were cold, and Cao Chengguang's expression didn't look like he was lying. He also knew that Zhang Chi had certain mimicry abilities, but he didn't expect that Zhang Chi was so powerful in this area and could imitate Cao Chengguang so perfectly.
Chu Jianghe said: "Aren't you the same? Didn't the Demon Suppressing Pearl be snatched away by him?"
Cao Chengguang chuckled and said: "Do you think I am as stupid as you?" He took out a gray bead from his arms and said: "Of course the thing is still on my body. Unless I die, no one can think of taking this thing away."
Things were taken away from me."
Chu Jianghe sighed secretly in his heart, after all, he couldn't compare to this old and cunning guy.
Cao Chengguang said: "Now that I have the magic-suppressing beads, you have no way to go back. It seems that I need to find someone to cooperate with me again. Come on, farewell. You walk on your single-plank bridge and I'll walk on my Yangguan Road. From now on,
Let's just leave it to fate." He passed by Chu Jianghe and walked out of the cave.
Chu Jianghe said: "Mr. Cao, since I dare to come to Netherworld Ruins, I am naturally confident of leaving."
Cao Chengguang looked at Chu Jianghe and said, "What do you mean? He didn't take anything away?"
Chu Jianghe took out another canopy ruler from his arms and said proudly: "When you come to a dangerous place like Netherworld Ruins, you have to be prepared. He never thought that I have an alternative plan."
Cao Chengguang clicked his tongue and praised: "It turns out that the one just now was fake."
Chu Jianghe said: "Both of them are real."
Cao Chengguang said: "It's strange, how can there be so many such precious things?"
Chu Jianghe said: "You don't need to worry about this, let's go."
Cao Chengguang said: "You're just leaving like that? Where's your little lover?" This guy can't open or lift any pot.
Chu Jianghe felt a pain in his heart. He was afraid that he would never see Xiao Hongying again after leaving this time. Thinking of Xiao Hongying's smile, Chu Jianghe's will suddenly wavered. But thinking of his mission this trip, his heart hardened again.
Get up: "Let's go, it will be too late."
Cao Chengguang said: "You can let me go with you, and you can give me the canopy ruler."
When Chu Jianghe heard him make such a request, he couldn't help but take a look at Cao Chengguang. Cao Chengguang's clothes were exactly the same as before. If the one just now was played by Zhang Chi, then where did the real Cao Chengguang get the exact same clothes? Chu Jianghe was shocked.
, he took a step back and placed his hand on the hilt of the sword: "Who are you?"
Cao Chengguang said: "How shameless, don't you know who I am? You still want to take me away?"
Chu Jianghe said word by word: "You are Zhang Chi, you are not Cao Chengguang!"
Cao Chengguang laughed loudly: "Chu Jianghe, since you are so suspicious, you'd better go alone, I won't go back."
Chu Jianghe suddenly unsheathed his sword and struck Cao Chengguang on the head with one strike. Cao Chengguang was short in stature and was at a disadvantage in this kind of duel.
Seeing that the big sword was about to hit Cao Chengguang's head, he suddenly lost sight of Cao Chengguang. Chu Jianghe's sword was not rushed, and struck the ice where Cao Chengguang had just stood, leaving a white mark on the ice.
, the ice chips chopped by the sword blade flew around, Chu Jianghe failed to hit the target, and when he looked intently, he saw that there was no figure of Cao Chengguang around him.
Chu Jianghe yelled: "Zhang Chi, come out, I know it's you!" Cao Chengguang didn't have the ability to escape in the ice, and the man just now was most likely Zhang Chi.
Chu Jianghe raised his sword and walked forward. After taking two steps, there was a sound of ice cracking under his feet. Looking down, he saw that the ice was cracking because it could not bear his weight. Chu Jianghe quickly moved to another place, wondering in his heart.
The ice beneath our feet should have been solid, but why was it so brittle and thin? Zhang Zhang must have tampered with it underneath.
He moved to the ice on the right, and before he could stand still, there was a click, and a big hole opened in the ice. Chu Jianghe's heart sank, and his body fell downwards. He also reacted very quickly, and quickly jumped up to raise his breath, intending to catch up before falling.
, jump to the top.
But someone below reached out and grabbed his ankle. Chu Jianghe was dragged down and fell. He swung his sword and slashed downwards. The sword encountered an obstacle in the middle, but an ice shield blocked the sword. Chu Jianghe's body was
On the way to the fall, he had already received a heavy punch in the abdomen, which cracked his bones. Before he could recover, he was hit in the face by another punch.
Chu Jianghe was beaten so hard that his eyes were filled with stars. As soon as his feet landed on the ground, they were sealed by the ice. He subconsciously used his hands to hold on the ice wall, preparing to break away, but the ice surface was so weak that his hands fell into the ice.
In the wall, his hands and feet were now stuck in the ice, and the ice wall solidified quickly, trapping him.
Chu Jianghe was terrified in his heart. He knew that his strength was far inferior to his opponent.
The fire light lit up, and the flames spread along the blade. The burning dragon scale knife illuminated the dark ice cave. Chu Jianghe saw his opponent through the light of the flames. Zhang Chi appeared opposite him with a smile, nodded to him and said: "
Are you okay?"
Chu Jianghe was completely devastated for a moment. Everything he did was controlled by Zhang Chi. Now that it fell into his hands, the situation was over. He sighed and said: "What a good method, but I lost at your hands. I have nothing to say."
Zhang Chi said: "I have never regarded you as an opponent because you are not qualified."
Chu Jianghe bit his lip. He had always been proud, but now he had to accept the fact that his self-esteem was ruthlessly trampled by Zhang Zhang.
Zhang Chi came to him and stretched out his hand to take out another canopy ruler from his arms. Chu Jianghe did not resist at all. His heart had collapsed and he had given up resistance psychologically.
Zhang Chi looked at the canopy ruler and took out the one he just grabbed. The two were almost identical. These things were all high-imitation replicas. They were almost exactly the same as the ones Qin Junqing gave him in terms of material and appearance details.
From this we can basically infer that Qin Junqing, Chu Canghai, and Xie Zhongjun must have colluded. The person behind the plan is likely to be among the three of them, and perhaps all three of them are involved.
Zhang Chi said: "Did Xie Zhongjun give you this canopy ruler?"
Chu Jianghe said: "How can he have such ability?"
Zhang Chi said: "That's your dad. New World Group naturally has this ability." He put away all the canopy rulers and said to Chu Jianghe: "Tell me, what is your plan?"
Chu Jianghe said: "You can't get what you want from me. I may not know more than you, but I knew from the beginning that this mission was to return to Netherworld Ruins to find the Demon-Suppressing Pearl and bring it back.
.”
Zhang Chi said: "Have you and Cao Chengguang colluded from the beginning?"
Chu Jianghe shook his head and said, "I only knew that someone would cooperate with me, but at first I thought it was one of you or Bai Xiaomi. I didn't know it was Cao Chengguang."
Zhang Chi asked: "Where is Bai Xiaomi?"
"I have no idea."
Footsteps suddenly came from above, and not long after, Qin Luzhu's voice was heard saying: "Zhang Chi, many Netherworld warriors have come outside and have sealed the entrance of the cave."
Zhang Chi said: "Don't panic, just come down."
Qin Luzhu jumped down from the entrance of the cave, followed by Xiao Hongying. Chu Jianghe was really embarrassed like this. He didn't want to be seen by Xiao Hongying in this situation, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
But Xiao Hongying just pretended not to see him.
After Zhang Chi waited for them to come down, he waved his hand and saw that the ice cave above slowly merged. Chu Jianghe saw this and felt envious and jealous in his heart. This boy had some strange encounter and his strength increased rapidly.
