The middle-aged man sneered, "Even if it's a conspiracy, so what?"
"The strongest person in the Thirty-eight Domains is the peak innate person, the deputy commander of Feilu Regiment, Huang Shengwen."
"As for the town envoy, Zhang Hairui, he just went to the fifty-ninth region two days ago and will not be back in a short time."
"Just Huang Shengwen, Liu Fusheng... plus Lu Zhaoyuan at most, the three innates, how lethal is the conspiracy set up by them?"
"Besides, they have a conspiracy. Are we just fools who rushed over to die without any preparation?"
There was silence outside the door.
"Oh."
The middle-aged man sneered, "Don't worry about anything else, just go ahead and use all the means we can! I really want to see, this conspiracy set up by Huang Shengwen... maybe it's a conspiracy? Qixin Deng! Tsk tsk, I guess they
They have already discovered our existence, but just to be on the safe side, they deliberately set up this trap, using the 'Seven-Hearted Lantern' as bait to lure us to the military-controlled mining areas outside the territory!"
"They want us to go out, okay, I'll let them do it! Don't move the people below, all the people above will be dispatched, including the 'skitarii'!"
"yes!"
…
Night has just fallen.
After dinner, Tang Mubai received a call from Liu Fusheng. There was news in Xin'an City.
The cult took the bait!
Immediately, Tang Mubai rushed to the domain wall, joined Liu Fusheng and Lu Zhaoyuan, and headed to the military-controlled mining area.
On the way——
"General Counselor Liu, did the cult take the bait and cause a stir to drive a large number of believers to attack the mine?" Tang Mubai asked.
"No." Liu Fusheng shook his head, "The cult didn't send many people, just a few dozen. If nothing else, they should have noticed our plan."
"Huh? Lao Liu, you are saying that the cult knew that we used the 'Seven Heart Lantern' as bait and deliberately lured them into taking the bait?" Lu Zhaoyuan raised his eyebrows.
"Ninety-nine." Liu Fusheng chuckled, "The 'Seven-Hearted Lamp' is a treasure that has a great effect on the cult. It suddenly appears in the world and happens to be in a military-controlled mining area. As long as the pope of the cult is not a fool, he will definitely have one."
Suspicious. But precisely because it is the 'Seven Heart Lantern', even if he guesses it, he will not give up!"
"That's right." Tang Mubai nodded.
The Seven-Hearted Lamp is a six-turn treasure of the lamp type. As long as it is activated with Gang Qi, it can emit a special light. This light ability can be said to be very weak because it has no attack power, but it can also be said to be very strong.
Because it can enhance the power of sonic martial arts.
Still more than ten times, dozens of times stronger!
For example, if the lion's roar is augmented by the light of the Seven Heart Lamp, its power can be increased twenty times.
Originally it was just a roar that could penetrate a wall, but after being amplified, it could roar through a mountain!
The cult's seven-hearted lamp with hot eyes is used to confuse people.
The initial method used by cult members is to rely on their mouths, hypnosis, bewitchment, and special sonic martial arts to achieve the purpose of bewitching people's hearts, making them addicted, and making them crazy.
Before getting the Seven-Hearted Lamp, the cult could only operate secretly in private, and develop followers one by one. But if you get the Seven-Hearted Lamp, then through the Seven-Hearted Lamp, the cult leader can hide in a community and gather dozens of followers.
An individual can bewitch dozens of people, or even people in an entire community, at the same time!
No cult pope would be unmoved by this comparison of effects that are dozens or hundreds of times greater.
Liu Fusheng's words are very accurate for this reason.
…
"The cult only dispatched a few dozen people, and it seems they are all experts."
Tang Mubai guessed, "There are even other means!"
"That's for sure."
Liu Fusheng said in a deep voice, "Since they knew it was a trap and still dared to come out, they must be prepared! We have also considered this aspect. The cult is prepared, so why aren't we?"
Tang Mubai gave a thumbs up.
Yes, Liu Fusheng and Huang Sheng must have a lot on their minds when they hear this.
Compared to cults, they are the official front and have a lot of manpower and material resources to mobilize.
Needless to say, the think tank behind it has taken every aspect into consideration.
To lure a cult to a military-controlled mining area, multiple preparations and various countermeasures must be made.
Next, it depends on who of the two parties is more prepared!
If you are not pressed for time.
Waiting for Zhang Hairui to come back and then implement the "Seven Heart Lantern" plan, the success rate will be greater.
Unfortunately, things have already happened and the cult has been exposed. It is imminent and we have to take action.
All Tang Mubai can do is cooperate.
…
The night is dark.
There were thick clouds in the sky, blocking the moonlight and making the earth pitch black.
Military controlled mining area.
Several mines in a row were silent.
Under the cover of night, these hills look like a row of giant beasts crawling on the ground.
Heavy, depressing, silent.
Only the controlled light of the "Seven Heart Lamp" projects a small beam from time to time, briefly illuminating the night sky.
This was the case until——
"Bang~! Bang~! Bang~!"
A muffled sound suddenly sounded.
I saw five flames rising in the wilderness to the east of the mining area, and five cannonballs trailing flames ripped through the night and headed straight for the mine.
"Enemy attack!"
There was a roar in the mine, and the next moment——
“Bang bang bang!”
Along with the muffled sound, five rays of fire also rose in the center of the mine, rising into the sky to meet the cannonballs flying through the air.
"Boom~" "Boom~" "Boom~"
The explosion resounded through the sky and the ground.
The interception in the mining area was successful, and five dazzling sparks bloomed in the air, releasing light and heat that dispersed the night.
"Swish swish~"
The sound of breaking through the air started again.
Fires burst out from all sides of the mining area again, and more than a dozen artillery shells rushed toward the mine from four directions.
"Bang~bang~bang~"
There were artillery shells launched from the same four directions in the mining area to intercept them.
They collided and exploded, and the sound and fire they produced seemed like a fireworks event was taking place.
Others don't know, but Tang Mubai feels very comfortable watching it.
Deep down, I also lament the generosity of the cult.
In order to snatch the "Seven-Hearted Lantern", artillery shells were actually used.
I don’t know where the cult got these cannonballs from.
If it were such a large battle, other forces might not be able to sustain it.
After all, artillery shells can attack from a distance, and can plow the mining area from a distance...
"Well, wait!"
Suddenly, Tang Mubai's eyes turned cold and he stared at the northwest sky.
There, a dark green air mass was flying towards the mine with the night wind.
"poison gas!"
Tang Mubai shouted low, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said quickly, "Everyone, pay attention, there is poisonous gas coming from the northwest!"
"clear."
Liu Fusheng's voice sounded.
Three seconds later, a burst of white light bloomed from the northwest of the mining area.
As the white light lights up, the originally disordered airflow in the air is immediately pulled by invisible forces, drawn over, and gathered together.
Including the dark green air mass that just happened to fly over, it was also pulled.
Tang Mubai used his "eye aperture" magical power to look slightly through the mountain and saw the source of the white light.
It turned out to be a gray-white gourd!
The poisonous gas released by the cult was swallowed up by this gray-white gourd.
During the entire process, the dark green poisonous gas did not poison anyone.
Nothing was touched, just let the gray-white gourd absorb it all.
The cult's second wave of attacks failed.
Tang Mubai couldn't help but laugh when he saw it. The gourd that could swallow poisonous gas was also an incredible spiritual object.
I wonder what the third wave of attacks by the cult is?
Tang Mubai was not asked to wait any longer.
To the east of the mining area, a large thick fog suddenly appeared.
The thick fog made it difficult to see clearly in the dark night.
Ordinary warriors can't detect it at all, and it's easy to confuse them even with night vision goggles.
Because the mist blends perfectly with the night.
It's not poisonous.
At least Tang Mubai didn't see any color in the mist, and his "poison control" magical power didn't show any reaction.
Not poisonous mist!
What could that be?
Tang Mubai pondered, and his body suddenly felt cold, as if all his clothes had been stripped off.
Fortunately, it passed quickly. When Tang Mubai came to his senses, he realized that it was a spiritual scan.
Huang Shengwen took action!
He scanned with his spiritual mind and found something unusual in the thick fog?
Tang Mubai was suspicious.
The next second, this guess was verified.
I saw a ball of golden light rising from the center of the mining area and shooting straight into the sky.
"Wow~"
The dazzling light dispels the darkness and penetrates the drifting thick fog.
The thick fog that blended perfectly with the night was completely exposed to the golden light at this moment.
The source of the golden light was also exposed to everyone's eyes.
A bead!
A luminous ball, with a round body and textured surface.
It is like a small sun, hanging high in the sky, dispelling the night and thick fog.
Below the round bead, Huang Shengwen stood in the sky, with a stern face and bright eyes looking directly at the eastern sky.
"Hahaha……"
A laugh rang out.
In the eastern sky, under the dark clouds, there is a tall middle-aged man wearing a black robe, with his face shrouded in a hood. The air around him is surging, and the black air is entangled with wisps of arcs shooting out, revealing his position.
"Huang Shengwen, do you have many treasures?"
The middle-aged man lowered his voice and sneered.
"Do you want it?" Huang Shengwen Leng shouted, "If you want it, come over and try to see if you can take it."
"Thank you very much."
The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth raised, "You have so many treasures, if I don't take away one or two, wouldn't it be a waste of your kind arrangements!"
The words fell——
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A series of rapid sounds pierced the air.
Around the mining area, more than a dozen figures suddenly appeared, heading straight from the sky to the direction illuminated by the light of the "Seven Heart Lamp".
At the same time, more than sixty figures were howling and charging on the ground. These people were running so fast that no afterimages were left behind as they ran, only the shrill sound of the wind kept coming.
Whoosh!
The air and ground immediately launched an attack and rushed towards the mining area.
"Da da da~"
"Bang~!" "Bang~!" "Bang~!"
In the mine, gunfire sounded from four directions.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of artillery shells falling to the ground and the sound of machine gun fire were heard all of a sudden.
However, what is shocking is that these attacks are useless.
Fortunately for the master in the air, the machine gun cannot shoot or penetrate, and the artillery shells cannot hit.
More than sixty people on the ground could not be hit, which was shocking.
Tang Mubai was surprised. He used his "eye aperture" to look carefully and found something strange.
Those were the cultists who were rushing over. Their bodies were covered with a faint black-gray light film.
The speed is too fast and the light film cannot be seen clearly.
But it was this light film that bounced off the bullets and avoided the cannonballs.
The mysterious methods of a cult?
Tang Mubai hummed, his hands moving slowly.
He took out the dragon's head bow, condensed the arrows of Gangqi, and spread them out from the air to kill.
Guns and cannons are useless. I don't know if his arrows of Gangqi will work.
call out!
A shrill sound of breaking wind sounded.
The arrow of Gangqi penetrated the space and disappeared, and when it reappeared——
"Pfft~"
Blood spurted out, and the head of a cult master in the air was shattered. The forward attack suddenly stopped, and the headless body fell to the ground with blood spraying all over the sky.
【Vitality +98】
The recycling prompt flashed.
Tang Mubai regrouped the arrows of Gangqi and chose the target again.
Sure enough, the cult's mysterious methods can cope with guns and cannons, but they cannot withstand the arrows of his aura.
call out!
"Pfft~"
Blood sprayed, and another cult master was headshot.
Tang Mubai saw a few familiar faces at the right time.
Cheng Laikang, how can I see the general Zhu Zhenluo!
Among these three people, Zhu Zhenluo is the director of Xin'an City's Anwu Bureau.
Cheng Laikang is the president of Xin'an City Martial Arts Association.
He Jianjiang is the advisor to the Admiral's Mansion in Xin'an City.
Before the Chinese New Year last year, Tang Mubai met them once because of the incident involving Xu Yousan being raped by a puppet worm under the Tian Puppet Sect.
Unexpectedly, when they met again, the three of them became members of a cult, and were driven by the cult's pope to attack the mining area.
From this we can judge how bad the situation in Xin'an City is.
Even the director of the Anwu Bureau, the president of the martial arts association, and the advisor to the admiral's office were all possessed by demons and bewitched by evil cults.
Tang Mubai stared coldly, then moved his eyes to the ground.
Sure enough, Lin Huafeng was found.
Lin Huafeng, whose body was covered with a light film, was among more than sixty people. His eyes were red and his mouth roared like a wild beast.
After rushing into the mining area, when he saw the people blocking the road, he rushed towards them and attacked them savagely.
"Ho~ho! Roar!"
Roaring sounds echoed throughout the mining area.
More than sixty people, including Lin Huafeng, have great strength, fast speed, and sharp nerve reactions. The masters of the Flying Deer Army are no match for one-on-one. Only three or five of them can barely compete with one.
Fanatic believer!
Such an idea popped into Tang Mubai's mind.
In this situation, Lin Huafeng was obviously passive.
Become a tireless, painless, and unafraid of death fanatic believer.
If this state continues for a long time, it will cause great damage to the body.
Immediately, Tang Mubai put away his dragon-headed bow and rushed towards Lin Huafeng before the cult leader found out.
Two cult masters were shot dead in quick succession. The middle-aged man, the cult leader, was undoubtedly frightened and angry. He roared and frantically searched for the murderer.
He didn't see Tang Mubai, so he had to focus on Huang Shengwen.
"Do it!"
The middle-aged man roared loudly, turned into an afterimage, and rushed toward Huang Shengwen.
Whoosh whoosh!
Around the mining area, a figure flew across the sky with lightning at almost the same time. The moment it appeared, it pulled the power of heaven and earth above its head and gathered in the sky above the mining area.
innate!
The four evil cults arrived at the same time. Following the middle-aged man, they arrived over the mining area and launched an attack.
Swish, swish, swish!
Liu Fusheng, Lu Zhaoyuan, and a short, stocky man in military uniform with a simple and honest face saw this scene and soared into the sky to intercept.
There is an innate master hidden in the Feilu Army!
The three of them soared to the sky to resist the four evil cults.
