Chapter 341 Cannon Fodder

It seemed that there was no danger in this place. Everyone looked around the stone hall and found nothing, so they continued walking towards the front. After passing the stone hall, there was another artificially excavated passage in front of it, similar to the one in front. The passages are exactly the same, wide enough for several people to walk.

"There seems to be a corpse!" As soon as he walked into the passage, he heard Chen Biwang shouting in front of him.

Everyone hurried forward a few steps and saw a corpse lying on the ground not far from them. Judging from the clothes on the body, the corpse seemed to belong to the Tao family, but the whole corpse was as thin as It was a skeleton, and its face had changed shape, so it was impossible to tell who it was.

Tao Zhengyou and Tao Yougong stared at the corpse for a long time, neither of them recognized who it was. However, judging from the clothes on his body, this person was of low status and was definitely not Tao Youcheng or Tao Zhengyi. Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Tao Zhengzhi suddenly said in a trembling voice: "He is Tao Zhengli!"

"Tao Zhengli? How did you recognize him?" Tao Zhengyou asked.

Tao Zhengzhi said: "Tao Zhengli is usually on good terms with me. Before we set off with the family master that time, we were practicing in the martial arts field. I accidentally pierced a hole in his sleeve. Later, the family master urged him to come to Phoenix Mountain together, but he didn't have time. I followed him as soon as I changed my clothes, but I never went back.”

Tao Zhengyou looked at the sleeve of the corpse. Sure enough, there was a hole pierced by a sharp weapon. It seemed that Tao Zhengzhi was right. The corpse on the ground really belonged to Tao Zhengli. He didn't know what kind of danger he encountered, but he turned into a corpse. It was beyond recognition.

Tao Zhengyou said in a deep voice to the corpse on the ground: "Brother Zhengli, I didn't expect you to die in this underground palace. I really feel wronged to you. You wait here first. If we can come back, we will definitely take your body with us." Go up and give him a good burial.”

The Tao family was concerned about whose body it belonged to, but what others were concerned about was how it died. Lu Feng frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "There are no obvious wounds on the whole body, but it is covered in flesh and blood. Everything is lost, only the skeleton and a piece of skin are left. The righteous monks definitely have no such means. Could it be that they encountered ghost monks? "Brother Chen, what do you think?"

Chen Biwang muttered: "It's hard to say. The way he looks now does seem to be the work of evil cultivators. However, it cannot be ruled out that he was bitten by some special monsters. It's just that the wound is relatively small and the location is relatively secret. We haven't found it yet."

Lu Feng nodded and said: "Then let's look carefully to see what's going on. I always feel that this underground palace is rather evil. Only by figuring out the cause of his death can everyone feel more at ease."

Lu Feng and Chen Biwang lowered their bodies, turned the body over with their scabbards, and examined it carefully. Others were curious and gathered towards this side.

At this moment, two black shadows suddenly rushed over from a distance and rushed towards the crowd in the passage. Their speed was so fast that even the Qi Practitioners did not dare to underestimate them. One of the black shadows pounced on Tao Zhengxin, and the other pounced on Qingyang nearby.

Although the spiritual thoughts of the monks can detect danger at the first time, the coverage area of ​​the low-level monks' spiritual thoughts is too small, and the speed of the black shadow is so fast that there is no time to react at a distance of several feet. That Tao Zhengxin just discovered No, the black shadow jumped on him, and before he could scream, he staggered and fell to the ground.

Qingyang's situation was much better. His cultivation level was relatively high. In addition, the intensity of his spiritual thoughts exceeded that of monks of the same level, and his coverage was wider. Therefore, he discovered the black shadow at the first time. The black shadow's speed was fast enough, and Qingyang's reaction was not slow either. When he realized the danger, he had already drawn his green bamboo sword in front of him.

Seeing the black shadow rushing toward him, Qingyang slashed his green bamboo sword forward and struck the black shadow. Just as a scream was heard in front of him, the black shadow was split into two by the Green Bamboo Sword, and a stream of hot blood sprayed out. It was blocked by Qingyang's Qi shield, so it didn't get sprayed all over his face.

Only then did Qingyang see clearly that the one attacking him was actually a bat the size of an adult's head. On the head covered with downy hair, there were a pair of scary red eyes, and sharp, black teeth exposed. The shining wings make people feel weird.

Judging from the breath of the bat, this is a monster beast that has not yet entered the level. Its strength is at least equivalent to the middle stage of opening the pulse. However, the bat is good at flying and is extremely fast. It also launches sudden attacks in hidden places. Even the third level of Qi Refining Qingyang on the second floor almost fell into the trap.

Qingyang was like this, let alone Tao Zhengxin, who was only in the middle stage of the Pulse Opening Realm. Not to mention that he didn't have time to react. Even if he had time to react, he was still no match for this bat.

Lu Dingshan was not far from Tao Zhengxin, so he rushed to rescue him immediately, but unfortunately it was too late. By the time he reached Tao Zhengxin, Tao Zhengxin had already fallen to the ground, with no blood on his face. And the bat that attacked him was lying on his throat.

Lu Dingshan did not dare to neglect, so he took out his mountain ax and struck at the bat. Although the bat was attacking Tao Zhengxin, its reaction was not slow. It squeaked and moved aside. Lu Dingshan's mountain ax only grazed his wings and did not cause any serious damage.

But by this time, everyone else had already reacted and used their magical weapons to attack the bat. Under the attack of so many people, how could a bat monster with only Kai Pulse Realm strength be an opponent? Within a few seconds, it was nailed to the ground by one of Miling's plum-blossom needles.

After getting rid of the two monsters, Tao Zhengyi hurriedly took a few steps forward and came to Tao Zhengxin's side. Tao Zhengxin's face on the ground had lost all color, and his entire upper body seemed to have been enchanted by some evil spell. He had lost weight several times. , the original shape is almost unrecognizable.

There was a small wound on Tao Zhengxin's throat, which was still oozing blood. It was obviously bitten by the bat monster just now. There was no breath in his nose, and he had been dead for a long time. His eyes were wide open, and he seemed to be a bit stubborn.

Although they had planned to use Tao Zhengxin as cannon fodder, when he really died, everyone was in a low mood, feeling as if a rabbit had died and a fox had died. Tao Zhengyou sighed deeply, stretched out a hand and patted Tao Zhengxin's body a few times, and slowly closed his eyes.

Tao Zhengxin died, and the remaining Tao Zhengzhi was frightened and said: "Brother, I... my cultivation level is too low, should I wait for everyone outside?"

Tao Zhengyou turned his head and looked deep into the passage, and said in a low voice: "Our Tao family has no way out. This time it is do or die. Only by rescuing the head of the family can our Tao family have hope. Don't worry, my second uncle and I will do our best in the future." To protect you."
