Chapter 243 The Bandit's Counterattack

On the other side, the three of Shen Huanzong, who were guarding the exit of the crypt, quickly bowed their hands to him after seeing Shen Ruiling's appearance, with a look of awe on their faces.

Although they didn't know what was going on underground, the miserable roars from the ground just now made them shudder!

So now that I saw Shen Ruiling coming, I became more respectful.

Shen Ruiling glanced around, and then asked Shen Huanzong and the three in a deep voice:

"Did any bandits escape from this exit?"

"Report to the elders, no one came out from here!" Shen Huanzong and the three replied immediately.

After hearing this, Shen Huanzong's mind moved, and he began to investigate the sealing situation of the remaining four openings.

When he found that the seals he had placed at the other four exits were still intact, he slowly took back his consciousness.

Then he looked down at the hole where the smoke was gradually weakening, turned around and said to the three of Shen Huanzong:

"Come down with me and see!"

"Yes!"

Under the leadership of Shen Ruiling, their group quickly entered the intricate underground fortifications and slowly marched towards the hall.

While walking in the corridor, Shen Ruiling extended his consciousness again, trying to see if there were any living people in the cave.

After walking for a while, Shen Ruiling and the four found a pile of black charcoal appearing in the corridor. Judging from the appearance of this pile of black charcoal, it should be a corpse that was burned to ashes.

Shen Ruiling glanced at the pile of ashes lightly, and then continued to walk forward.

When he thought about it, this person should have been close to the exit of the hall, so he escaped without being burned to ashes by his own karmic fire in the first place.

But even if he was not burned to death by the fire of karma for the first time, he was still stuck with a ray of fire of karma, and he was burned to ashes after all.

On the other side, after Shen Huanzong and the three looked at the pile of ashes on the ground, the three immediately looked at each other, with solemn expressions flashing in their eyes.

After seeing this scene, they can now guess what happened just now, and what a tragic scene they will see soon.

After the four walked a distance again, a hall appeared in front of them.

In the hall at this time, the karmic fire that has not yet been extinguished was burning there, and a strong smell of coke penetrated into the nose of Shen Ruiling and the four.

After smelling the pungent smell, Shen Huanzong and the three couldn't help covering their mouths and noses, and then looked at the underground hall.

In the hall, there was a scorched black color everywhere, and the ashes of the corpses were scattered on the ground.

The surrounding stone walls also showed signs of melting under the high temperature just now, and some crystals appeared on the surface of the stone walls.

Just when the three of Shen Huanzong were still in shock, Shen Ruiling spoke up.

"Go and check all the passages here, and put away the useful things. Let's take a rest here and talk about it."

"Yes!"

After receiving Shen Ruiling's order, Shen Huanzong and the three immediately went to different corridors to check.

After Shen Huanzong and the three left, Shen Ruiling looked around again for a week, shook his head involuntarily, and showed a look of disgust on his face.

I saw that a ball of water suddenly appeared in the palm of his right hand, the water ball quickly rotated and became larger, and then turned into a stream of fresh water and began to wash the hall.

After a few breaths, the pungent smell in the stone chamber gradually disappeared, and some coke ashes on the ground were cleaned up.

Although the stone wall was still pitch black, it was much better than before.

At this time, Shen Ruiling glanced at the stone room again, and then showed a satisfied look, and then found a clean place and sat down.

After sitting down, Shen Ruiling closed his eyes and began to seriously think about the current situation.

Before leaving, Zuo Canglang gave them a total of half a month, allowing them to go into the mountains to check the road conditions and remove the secrets set by the bandits.

Counting the days now, it has been six days since my group had pulled out a secret mouth in six days, which is considered to be the completion of the task.

But Shen Ruiling knew that now was not the time to go back. Although Zuo Canglang did not stipulate that each family must pull out several secret openings before setting off, but that was to make each family fight, so that they could all try their best to complete this mission.

Therefore, Shen Ruiling thought that his group would have to pull out a secret in the coming days, so that they would not fall into the ground when they went back, lest Zuo Canglang wear small shoes.

Besides, Shen Ruiling already knew the second goal.

Judging from the memory read in the fat man's head, after going over the hill here, there is another secret mouth not far behind.

The number of bandits in the secret mouth is similar to that here, and the leader is also a man with ninth level of Qi practice.

So as long as you and your group are a little more careful, you can still be very sure that you will unwittingly pull out this secret mouth.

...

Just when Shen Ruiling and his party were resting on the spot, there was already a mess on Baigu Ridge hundreds of miles away.

"Brother, there is news from Centipede Mountain, Shannan found that a small group of troops entered the mountain under the leadership of the Foundation Establishment cultivator."

A black-robed man with a scar on his face cupped his hands and said to the shadow in the first place.

After hearing this, the shadow on the first seat was silent for a while, and then asked coldly:

"Have you figured out how many small units have infiltrated?"

Facing the question from the shadow, the black-robed man's face suddenly turned ugly, he hesitated and said:

"This... I have only received news from Centipede Mountain, and there is no news from other halls, so it is not clear how many Foundation Establishment cultivators have entered the mountain!"

"Ok"

For a time, a gloomy aura swept through the entire stone room, and the black-robed man was trembling constantly.

At this time, the scholar man on the side glanced at the man in black robe with disdain, then got up and looked at the shadow on the first seat, and said with a heavy tone:

"Just now I tried to contact all the hall masters on the 18th bend in Jiugang, but I only received replies from twenty of them. There are still seven other hall masters who have not heard from them so far!"

Although the scholar man didn't say it clearly, everyone in the audience knew that the seven people who secretly spoke were probably too many and very few.

After hearing the scholar man's report, Hei Ying's body immediately revealed a gloomy aura.

After a long time, he snorted coldly:

"The action is really blocky!"

"In these few short days, the seven halls we set up have been pulled out in succession. The number of small troops entering the mountain this time should be no less than this number!"

This scholar man is worthy of being a think tank among the bandits. Based on this little information, he has already guessed the number of Shen Ruiling and the others who entered the mountain this time.

The man in black robe saw the disdainful expression of the scholar man, and his face suddenly turned hideous. He looked at the shadow on the first seat and said:

"Brother, give an order! Let me take my brothers to attack and kill a few foundation-building cultivators, and let them know who has the final say in this mountain!"

"The third brother is right!"

"right!"

...

For a time, the words of the black-robed man ignited the group of grumpy bandits, and they all started to shout.

The black figure sitting in the first seat raised his head, looked at the situation in the field, then turned to look at the scholar man and asked lightly:

"Second, what do you think?"

Seeing the boss asking for his opinion at this time, a smile appeared on the scholar man's face, and then there was a vicious aura all over his body, like a poisonous snake.

"Killing must be killing, it depends on how you do it!"

...
