“really.
Chen Mu was not surprised at all at this time. He had already had a premonition that the Black Crow Sect wanted to make some big noise, but what the other party did was indeed crazy.
If one million people in the entire outer city are kidnapped and used as blackmail and bargaining chips, it is indeed possible to force the major forces in the inner city to make certain concessions. After all, although the inner city lords do not care about a few lives in the outer city, But if it is the entire outer city, it is a completely different concept.
Moreover, this method is difficult to stop by pure force. Even those at the level of muscle-changing or even bone-forging are unable to completely kill the gray-skinned rats that are everywhere in the outer city.
Xu Hongyu also realized the seriousness of the problem. At the moment, she had no time to worry about the situation and mechanisms in the underground passage. She had to nip the Black Crow Sect’s delusions in the cradle before things got out of hand.
Uh-huh! Xu Hongyu was the first to rush into the underground passage. Someone from behind immediately followed with a torch, followed by Min Baoyi, Chen Mu and other people from the Jiutiaoli City Guards. The group entered the passage in a mighty manner.
The passage was not particularly narrow and could accommodate two people walking side by side. However, the entire passage was filled with the smell of decay and blood. After everyone quickly rushed for a while, some corpses quickly appeared in the passage.
These were the members of the Black Crow Sect who had gone down to explore the passage before, and they were hit by some sharp arrows.
Xu Hongyu only glanced at it briefly, then ignored it and continued to fight forward. After traveling for a while, two forked roads appeared in front of them. Min Baoyi behind him immediately said: “The left and right are traps and dead ends.”
This was also found out in a short while before using human lives.
Relying on some of the underground conditions they had previously explored, everyone avoided many traps in the tunnel. However, because Xu Hongyu was traveling very fast, they soon arrived at a completely unfamiliar area.
laugh! !
I don’t know what mechanism was triggered, but suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air in front of the passage, followed by a cold light.
“Watch out!”
Someone reminded me.
But Xu Hongyu, the leader, did not retreat. With a shake of his hand, the soft sword was unsheathed, and a sword light bloomed in the narrow passage, gathering into a semicircular barrier like countless raindrops.
There was only a clanging sound of gold and iron, and all the incoming darts were shot down by Xu Hongyu.
There is an existence in the Yijin realm that opens the way, and ordinary traps are almost in vain. Whether it is darts, hidden arrows, or some mechanisms that spray poisonous water and poisonous mist, many of them are cut off by Xu Hongyu’s sword before they are triggered. Even the poisonous water sprayed in the front can He blocked them all with an almost watertight sword flower and pushed them forward.
So move forward for a while again.
finally.
A very spacious stone chamber appeared in front of it. There were still some chaotic footprints in the stone chamber. It was obvious that there were still people here just now, but they had all evacuated at this time.
In addition to the passage through which everyone came in, the stone chamber has four other branching roads leading in different directions.
“This should be near their main altar.”
Min Baoyi spoke in a deep voice. He had been estimating the distance along the way.
There are obvious mixed footprints on the four forked roads, which obviously lead to different areas inside.
“Don’t delay, divide your troops and take action. If there is any resistance, shoot to death!”
Xu Hongyu spoke in a deep voice, her figure flashed, and she rushed into the leftmost passage alone.
Xiao He was about to say something when he saw that Xu Hongyu had disappeared. A look of helplessness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice: “Xu Chasi, please take the second way, Min I asked you to separate some people and take the third way.”
The person who was called ‘Xu Chasi’ was the Chasi of the General Division and Xu Hongyu’s men. He responded and immediately led the people behind him to rush into the second passage. Then Min Baoyi also looked behind him and said quickly. : “Wang Gong, Zhong Chang, take your people with me, Chen Mu, Qin Bei, you guys follow Adjutant He.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he led the people into the third passage.
Qin Bei obviously also knows Xiao He’s identity. She is not an adjutant, but Xu Hongyu’s personal maid. Her status with Xu Hongyu is higher than that of Min Baoyi, and her strength is not weaker. There is no objection to this, and Chen Mu has no doubt about it. .
Some emaciated, half-dead prisoners could be vaguely seen groaning in the prison.
“All the people who have disappeared in the past few months are probably here.”
Thoughts flashed through Chen Mu’s mind.
Although it is unclear what the Black Crow Cult is doing by arresting these people, judging from the scene in front of them, it is nothing more than using these people to cultivate gray-skinned mice, either to draw blood, or to do other cruel things. means.
But just as Chen Mu was scanning the cages one by one, trying to find familiar people, there was a sudden burst of creaking sounds, which soon became continuous and converged into the sound of rustling wind, making people’s hair stand on end.
Everyone’s expressions changed instantly.
Their eyes looked toward the depths of the prison ahead.
But just as everyone’s attention was focused on the prison, there was a sudden bang from the passage behind, as if something heavy fell down, followed by a muffled sound. When they turned around to look, they saw a big stone falling. , blocking the retreat.
When some policemen saw this, they immediately became frightened and confused.
“Don’t panic!”
Qin Bei and Chen Mu spoke out at the same time.
Both of their voices were calm and strong, without any panic.
Qin Bei has been a veteran for many years, and he is also the only one among the city guards who can master the power of the sword except Chen Mu. However, he is now over thirty-five years old, and the body tempering method has stopped at training the flesh. Xiaocheng has no chance to go further, nor is he good enough to be promoted to Chasi, but in terms of strength, he is still the strongest one in the Kujoli City Guards Department besides Min Baoyi.
He has the realm of both physical training and swordsmanship, and he is also said to have experienced hundreds of battles. He will naturally not panic when the situation changes.
Not to mention Chen Mu, strength is his greatest confidence. Just like the previous passage, if he were to open the way in front, he might not be able to push through all the traps like Xu Hongyu did, but most of the traps would have no effect on him. No threat.
With a skin of copper and steel, he is also highly skilled in meat training. Those mechanical and hidden arrows are almost difficult to damage, and poisonous water and the like are basically difficult to damage. Poisonous mist is a little trickier, but with his sword skills, he can still kill him before it disperses. Destroy the source of the spray.
Even tunnels full of traps pose little threat to him, let alone in such an open area.
The two sergeants spoke at the same time, immediately calming down some of the panicked sergeants behind them, but Xiao He did not say anything. Looking at the reactions of Chen Mu and Qin Bei, a glimmer of approval flashed in his eyes.
Qin Bei was okay. After all, he was a veteran in Jiu Tiao. He was not weak in strength and she knew the details very well. However, Chen Mu’s ability to remain calm despite changes at his age showed that he had a calm mind and was basically consistent with Min Baoyi’s evaluation.
Given time,
He will definitely become an effective subordinate.
If there is even a glimmer of possibility to break through the shackles of Yijin and step into the third level of Body Tempering Yijin, then he is expected to become Xu Hongyu’s right-hand man and play a decisive role.
“That should be the so-called ‘Dharma Protector’ of the Black Crow Sect.”
Xiao He looked ahead and spoke slowly.
As he finished speaking, he saw a large number of gray-skinned rats pouring out from the depths of the prison in front of him. They were of different sizes. The largest one was almost twice as big as what Chen Mu had seen before, which was unusual. The size of a mouse.
These gray-skinned rats came like a tide and directly flooded every prison. The half-dead prisoners were almost unable to scream before being submerged by them, accompanied by bursts of crunching and gnawing sounds, which was horrifying.
