Chapter 1347
At this time, in a dim cave, a group of people were walking slowly in a narrow tunnel. There was a dim night pearl at every distance to illuminate the passage. The sound of dripping water coming from nowhere, combined with the friction sound of their walking, made it look even more eerie and terrifying.
The passage was very large, and there was not only one road. The complicated route would easily get lost if you had not been here before.
One of the young women took the lead and walked in the front, but her face was still a little timid. Six people followed behind her, looking at the side with a vigilant face.
However, the others were behind and could not see her expression at all.
They were Shuang'er and his group who had just arrived here. When they came here, their speed was relatively slow. In addition, this place was some distance away from Fengcheng, and the sky was about to get dark. They found the entrance of this cave in a dilapidated temple.
"Why is it so quiet here? Didn't you say there are many people here?" Shuang'er in front saw the surrounding scene and was also a little scared, but he did not show it.
"I don't know. There were quite a few people before. Are we late?" The fifth sister who was leaning behind him whispered.
"However, I'll go to the front first. There doesn't seem to be anything nearby. We don't know what's there. I heard that it seems to be storing some sundries. The location that the fifth sister mentioned is the back location where they rest outside." The boss next to the fifth sister said at this time.
"Okay, let's go directly." After such a long time, they were cautious and only walked half the distance. Hearing this, Shuang'er gave the order without hesitation.
Even if she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, after all, she had always obeyed other people's orders before. Now she was asked to lead a team of people. In fact, she was a little uneasy in her heart.
However, she couldn't show it on her face. She remembered Gu Zheng's usual appearance and tried to have a faint smile on her face. Although it was a little stiff, it also gave her inexplicable confidence, as if Gu Zheng was by his side.
As they slowly moved forward, a painful groan suddenly sounded in the air.
"Someone!" Shuang'er whispered subconsciously, and at the same time, her figure began to accelerate suddenly. In an instant, she left the team and ran forward.
Because she could clearly hear that it was a sound of pain, she instantly forgot that she was still leading several members and rushed over.
Seeing Shuang'er disappear in front of them in an instant, the boss was also stunned, but did not say anything, and quickly took them along the path.
When they got there, they found that two people were lying on the ground, twisting constantly, and their clothes were half rotten, revealing the red skin.
The faces of the two people were also very red, just like ripe apples, and a little heat was steaming from each other, as if it was steamed by flames, and it looked very uncomfortable.
And Shuang'er here has taken out a relatively large box, which is full of bottles and jars, all of which are things she usually figures out and refines by herself.
She usually carries two different medicine boxes, one is for ordinary people's wound medicine, which can also treat some low-level warriors, and the other is for her to treat people with higher cultivation. These medicines are what she figured out when she had nothing to do. Of course, some of them are medicinal materials given by Mr. Qi, and the other part is a lot from Gu Zheng.
Not only that, she also combined some simple treatment methods of immortals based on her previous medical knowledge to create new treatment methods.
Of course, everything should be thanked to the deceased Mr. Qi, because he did not give Shuang'er other cultivation, but he collected a lot of knowledge in this area for her.
Shuang'er quickly took out a blue jade bottle from it and carefully dripped a drop of blue water from it. The water dripped and stayed between them, and layers of icy breath emanated from it.
The temperature in the air began to drop sharply, causing the six friends of Qingcheng who had just come over to shiver suddenly. They couldn't help but take a few steps back, and then they felt a little better.
But the two people below seemed to feel much more comfortable, even the sound of groaning was much smaller, and their bodies unconsciously leaned towards the middle.
"They are under the blood curse, and it seems that it has just taken effect. If we had come a little later, you would have known what would have happened to them." Shuang'er said quickly, and at the same time, her hands did not stop moving, and a layer of unknown powder was gently sprinkled on their bodies.
"Blood curse!" They suddenly remembered the restrictions on their bodies, and looked at the two people in front of them who had met once before. They looked miserable just now, and now there were many blood marks on their bodies, all of which were scratched just now. They felt very lucky. If they had not happened to meet Mr. Gu, their fate would have been doomed.
"Well, but I can't remove it for them. It would be better if it hadn't taken effect. Now I can only suppress it temporarily. If everything goes well, I should be able to take them back to let Mr. Gu treat them. If it takes some time, then I am helpless." A strong white light emerged from Shuang'er's hands, covering the figures of the two people.
After half a cup of tea, a trace of sweat appeared on Shuang'er's forehead, and then she put away the white light in her hands.
Looking at the two people, there was only a faint red on their skin, and their breathing was much easier, which was many times better than before. No matter what, at least their lives were saved.
Then Shuang'er used some unknown method to split the water drop into two, each of which was put into a crystal bead of Amber Tiger, and put it on his neck. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and put away the things beside him.
"My profession is a doctor, so I subconsciously ran over when I encountered this situation." Shuang'er then remembered that she had abandoned the six of them and explained.
"It's okay, it's okay." The eldest brother waved his hand and looked at the brothers behind him, so he was very shocked. They had never heard of the name of doctor. They knew that this profession was generally a doctor who treated mortals. They had some defective elixirs handed down in their hands, which were extremely precious.
So, under Shuang'er, they could see that Shuang'er's personality was very gentle in such a short time, which made everyone feel much smoother in their hearts. If it was true, they would not lack elixirs in the future, and it could be said that it was a blessing in disguise.
Now if they were asked to leave, they would not leave, because even if they were to pay for it, such people might not want them.
"I'll go find the entrance. It's hidden. I just found it by accident. I went down a little and came up in a hurry. I don't know if the other party closed it." When the cold air in the air subsided, the fifth sister volunteered.
Now is the time for them to show their value. If they really think Shuang'er is gentle and deliberately does nothing, then they will cry if they are driven out.
After saying that, she walked around the man who was still unconscious. This is the temporary residence of these controlled people. There is a slightly larger living room in the middle, and small rooms are dug out next to it. They also accept the task here.
But she just passed the fainted person on the left, and suddenly a hand reached out from below and grabbed her ankle. She was a little nervous when she came in, fearing that she would attract the attention of others. The strength of the bronze-faced man made them very desperate. If they hadn't learned that Shuang'er's cultivation was also a fairy, they would have persuaded Shuang'er to go back.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a hot hand grabbed him. Feeling so unexpected, she couldn't help but scream, and subconsciously jumped forward to break free from his palm.
"Don't go!"
A faint voice came from this person's mouth, but everyone was not an ordinary person, so they all heard it clearly.
"Are you awake, Yuanqing?" The boss who had dealt with him hurried over and helped him against the wall beside him.
Before he answered, the other person next to him groaned and woke up. The third and fourth brothers behind him immediately walked over and helped him against the wall.
The second brother and the sixth sister warned the side to prevent unknown enemies from appearing.
"Are you feeling better?" The boss and the others fed each other a most basic Qi-recovering pill and asked.
Both of them nodded weakly, but the previous torture seemed to have drained their energy and spirit, and even their eyes were half-closed.
"Don't go to that hidden passage, because it's a trap. I'm afraid you didn't notice it. Now you're back on the way you came, and you can't get out anymore." Yuan Qing took a breath and said weakly.
"How could this happen?" The eldest brother said in surprise, and motioned the fourth and second brothers to go back to the way they came.
"Ahem, not long ago, a new bronze-faced man came here, and asked the few people to leave first, and then tortured us, and then our ban broke out. He might know that we were dead, and that's when the information was leaked." Another one continued his words.
"Yes, because of the failure of your mission, they thought that someone would definitely come here, so they directly arranged a defense. Once you come in and find the hidden hole, the whole cave will explode, and they have already left here from another passage, and we are the abandoned bait." Yuan Qing panted heavily, as if he had pulled the wound again when he moved a little just now.
"Only by finding another entrance can we enter the secret room below, where there is a new escape passage."
The two of them quickly figured out the matter.
"What kind of restriction can trap us?" Shuang'er said unconvincedly, and at the same time, she raised her body and stretched out her delicate jade palm to hit the top above.
The result was beyond her expectations. At the moment when her palm touched, the ordinary-looking wall flashed a trace of yellow light, which blocked Shuang'er's attack and rebounded a huge force.
She didn't think of this at all, and landed from above in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
"Don't waste your energy. When you came in, the defense formation was already activated. You know, this place is so close to Fengcheng, why so many masters are not prepared? This is also a prison of the other party, with high concealment and defense." Yuan Qing looked at Shuang'er and said, at this time he had some strength, much better than at the beginning.
"If you hadn't come earlier, we probably only had one skeleton left. We still have to find a way to find the other party's backup passage." Another person Yunlang said.
At this time, hurried footsteps were heard outside. The second and fourth brothers came back with serious faces. Looking at everyone's inquiring eyes, they nodded heavily and told everyone that what they said was true and the entrance had been blocked.
"Okay, don't be discouraged. We need to find the passage below. Go down quickly while the other party hasn't left here yet, otherwise we will be trapped here." Shuang'er said calmly. She had the protective equipment given by Gu Zheng on her body. Even if everything here collapsed, she was sure to protect everyone.
Perhaps it was Shuang'er's calm look, at least the six friends of Qingcheng were not too worried. They didn't understand the power of this passage, and felt that Shuang'er was confident to take them out.
As for the two people who were rescued, they smiled bitterly, but looking at everyone, the hope that had almost been completely given up in their hearts also rose a glimmer of hope, maybe they could escape with them.
The two of them also have the strength of fifth-level cultivators. Although they are now in a weak state and there are still waves of pain in their bodies, they know that the restrictions on their bodies have been relieved.
Following Shuang'er's order, everyone began to scatter and touch the surroundings.
Yuan Qing and the other two didn't know where the hidden passage was, because at the end, their consciousness was already blurred, and they didn't know which bronze-faced man went out from there.
"Drip, drip"
In an independent room, the surroundings were all gloomy. A figure was handcuffed to the wall tightly, his face was pale, his breathing was weak, his hands and legs were locked, and even his waist had a huge iron handcuff embedded in the wall.
On his right hand, his five fingers were open, fixed by small iron handcuffs, and drops of blood fell from his fingertips very regularly.
There was a strange groove below, only slightly larger than the blood drop. Whenever the blood drop fell from it, the groove below flashed red, and then the blood drop disappeared without a trace.
With several low wails in the distance, the figure raised his head and listened carefully, but those wails stopped and there was no movement, dead silence, as if the whole world had left him.
Only after a long time would a low sound come to his ears.
But this silence was soon broken, and a footstep sounded from a distance, walking towards this place.
After walking a few steps, a low humming sound would be heard, and sometimes a scream would be heard, and then it would return to silence.
It didn't take long for the footsteps to arrive here.
"Zhao Man, it looks like you still won't surrender to us."
Zhao Man lowered his head, then raised his head again, looked at this stranger and the familiar mask, and spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva, but was dodged by the bronze-faced man.
"Don't dream of trying to persuade me to surrender."
The bronze-faced man didn't care, and looked at the opposite wall, where a cage made of black mist was wrapped around a spear, and there were wisps of black air entangled with it at all times.
The original color of the spear was almost invisible, but a blue light occasionally appeared to indicate that it was still not blackened.
"That's a pity, your fiancée Xue'er has been captured by us, but don't be sad, you will be reunited sooner or later." The bronze-faced man laughed.
"You" Zhao Man was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He was in this state, and he couldn't even save himself, let alone Xue'er.
"Mr. Gu will avenge us, just wait." Zhao Man said this coldly, and could only comfort himself in this way.
"Haha, don't worry, no matter how powerful he is, as long as the elder comes out of retreat, he will crush all the stones blocking the road, and then you will reunite together in the underground." Tongmian smiled contemptuously.
"It seems a pity that your weapon has not been able to be demonized yet. I originally wanted to leave you a complete corpse, but now I have to sacrifice you with blood. In this way, your weapon will completely belong to us." Tongmian laughed, and as soon as he finished speaking, a long sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
In this dim illusion, there was still a cold light, and there was still blood on it that had not been wiped clean, and a strong smell of blood emanated from it.
The long sword was raised and stabbed towards Zhao Man's abdomen. The bronze-faced man was ready to drain Zhao Man's blood and then complete the sacrifice of the spear. At that time, he would take the spear and leave, completing the task perfectly.
Thinking that Master Xi would receive this gift, his status would also be slightly improved, and his heart was burning. Now that Master Xi was in control of this place, his gift would definitely impress Master Xi.
If it weren't for this spear, Zhao Man should have been executed long ago for what he had done before. Now he would use his blood to remove the traces of him in the spear little by little, and then it would become an ownerless object.
Zhao Man looked at the sharp blade and closed his eyes in despair. He was not afraid of death, but was mainly worried about Xue'er's comfort. Even though he knew that the other party was transformed by a fox demon, he still loved him.
"Goodbye!"
But at this moment, a roar came from the darkness in the distance.
"Stop!"
At the same time, a cold light rushed out from the darkness and quickly attacked the copper-faced man's head. If he insisted on continuing to assassinate, Zhao Man would be dead, and his head would inevitably explode.
In front of his own life, Tongmian certainly knew how to choose. Even if his long sword could penetrate Zhao Man's abdomen in the next second, he had to pull it back now.
"Dingdang"
The weapon that hit his head was knocked down by him. Looking closely, it was a short dagger, but the force attached to it was not small, almost making him take a step back.
He raised his sword and looked intently. There were shadowy figures in the distance, and a group of people were approaching this side at a rapid speed.
Zhao Man, who was waiting to die, also opened his eyes in surprise, not understanding why someone would save him.
As the group of people approached, Zhao Man's eyes widened when he saw the leader.
"Shuang'er!"
