Chapter 1172 The Second Shadow in the Ruins
The valley was secluded at night, and the voice of He Lingchuan echoed over the entire battlefield.
"Who made you suffer from hunger and cold!"
"Who made you enemies everywhere and despised by all nations!"
"Who else made you desperate and made your descendants wander on the plains like wild dogs, unable to find a place to stay!"
The Yao army shot arrows at the source of the sound in the sky, but the strange bird flew too high and was out of range. General Chongwu's face turned pale, and he looked for opportunities to bend his bow twice, but both failed.
He did have a divine archery skill, but He Lingchuan was prepared in advance, so how could he easily succeed?
"I will wait for you in the ruins of Keshan!" The huge strange bird circled again, flapped its wings, and really went towards the ruins of the palace. "Before that, shouldn't you go with the Yao army--"
The black-armored man looked up at the sky and stared at him.
"-- Let's settle the old accounts?"
After saying this, He Lingchuan and the strange bird had already flown away, and only the lingering sound was heard.
…
After flying three miles, He Lingchuan pointed to a large open space in front of the hills: “Descend!”
The bat demon puppet quickly landed, and took the two people with it and hid under the hills.
About ten breaths later, another night owl flew over and circled here twice, but did not see He Lingchuan.
There was only two small trees on the rocks below.
It had no choice but to flap its wings and land on the treetops of the small trees, turning its head to look around.
But as soon as it turned its head to its back, something suddenly fell from the bottom of the branch next to it and hit it at its feet.
The night owl was frightened and flapped its wings. When it looked down, it turned out to be a chubby little bat, slowly climbing up the tree trunk.
Bats were also on its menu. Although it could not tell what species it was, it did not hinder its determination to have a midnight snack.
But as soon as it stretched its mouth to grab it, the bat suddenly became bigger...
He Lingchuan hid in the shadow of the hill and heard a crackling sound above, the sound of flapping wings, and the screams of birds.
After a few breaths, the bat came and landed beside He Lingchuan, with two feathers still stuck to the corners of its mouth.
He Lingchuan took off the feathers for it, and Dong Rui also said: "You guessed it right. Sure enough, Yu was unwilling to give up and sent out bird demons to follow."
The bat demon puppet had just eaten the bird demon sentry sent by the Yao people. He Lingchuan was the initiator of the melee between the black-armored leader and the Yao army. General Chongwu was certainly unwilling to let them escape, so he sent out bird demons to follow them.
He Lingchuan rode the demon puppet to the sky again, saying: "This Yu was busy fighting, thinking about Sanwei, and thinking about us at the same time. He is also an organized person. He has discovered that we have separated from Sanwei."
Before He Lingchuan left the battlefield, he found a first-class seat with the best view for the eyeball spider on the big tree.
Judging from the feedback on the scene, General Chongwu was very angry in this battle.
The Yao army's Yuanli is indeed excellent, and it has a great advantage in fighting against the rock and earth puppets. But this battle tonight is very special. The black-armored leader and the rock and earth puppets completely blocked the Yao army on the road. The mountain road is extremely narrow. The Yao army can not only form a formation, but even the soldiers in the back row are blocked by their comrades in the front row. They can't rush forward at all and can only watch anxiously.
Besides, which sane general is willing to let his own army fight against clay sculptures?
It's boring to fight against lifeless puppets with flesh and blood.
So Dong Rui laughed and said, "No matter how organized he is, he was still fooled by you?"
He Lingchuan said a fair word: "He didn't expect that an opponent like us would suddenly appear. Besides, he knows nothing about us."
In his opinion, General Chongwu reacted quickly and performed much better on the battlefield than ordinary generals. But he never expected that an opponent like He Lingchuan who doesn't follow the usual path would appear out of thin air.
If He Lingchuan were in his place, I'm afraid he would suffer this loss.
"Since the stalkers were eaten by my bats, we might as well leave." Dong Rui asked him, "Why do we really have to go to the ruins of Keshan?"
"We just landed and turned back, hiding behind the hills to watch the battle. The black-armored man could point out our location without even looking, which means it has the ability to track us." He Lingchuan had a clear mind, "If we change direction now, the black-armored man might know that we are not trustworthy. Do you think it will abandon the Yao army and come directly to us?"
Then wouldn't his trick of fighting between the snipe and the clam be ruined?
"Uh..." Dong Rui admitted that his concerns were reasonable, "This guy has a unclear mind, but he is very active."
"From the fact that it prioritizes dealing with the Yao army, it has not been completely controlled by Luosheng Armor, which is precious." They learned from Fu Liushan that the more masters the evil armor changes, the stronger it becomes. In the later period, anyone who wears this evil armor will most likely become its slave and end up in madness. "Let's go to Keshan. Didn't you want to go there last time you passed by?"
Dong Rui laughed dryly.
He was just curious. If you really put Luosheng Armor into his hand, he wouldn't want to wear it.
This thing is heartbreaking. He'd better not accept the test.
"Hey?" He quickly changed the subject. "It seems that there is red light flashing in the ruins again."
When the black-armored man appeared before, the ruins were red light rising to the sky, and the scene was very big; but this time the red light in the ruins was only a little bit and not very eye-catching, that is, from the air, it can be barely seen.
To borrow the metaphor of He Lingchuan's other world, it is like a lit cigarette butt in the dark night.
"Go and have a look." There are so many surprises tonight.
Dong Rui himself was about to reach the ruins and was ready to join him.
The bat demon puppet circled twice above the ruins of Keshan Mountain, and He Lingchuan had time to take a closer look at the former palace of the Shining Gold Empire.
Thousands of years had passed, and the treasury was of course empty, but there were thirty-six platforms built on the open space around it, round outside and square inside, each nearly ten feet high. He Lingchuan looked down from a high place, and took out a transparent lamp from his arms to act as a searchlight, and then found that there was a series of bright red runes engraved on the top of the stone platform.
There are very few pigments that can remain unfaded for thousands of years after being exposed to the air, and these runes are no exception.
So, someone has painted them? When He Lingchuan and the others came here before, they happened to meet the black-armored warriors, and they had no chance to notice these runes.
Thirty-six platforms, just climbing up and down to paint them in red is a physical job.
There were still shadows of trees below, and He Lingchuan suddenly said again:
Dong Rui pulled a long face: "Again? Is there a second set of Luosheng Armor in the world? "
The ghost ape also tensed his muscles and entered a state of combat readiness.
The last time He Lingchuan said this, the bat demon puppet was attacked by the black-armored man in a blink of an eye.
However, He Lingchuan immediately patted the bat demon puppet's head and let it hover and descend: "It's okay, land."
"What is that?" In terms of eyesight, he is indeed not as good as He Lingchuan.
"It's a person, a living person." He Lingchuan frowned, "You recognize it too. "
The sudden appearance of outsiders here disrupted his original plan.
The wingspan of the bat demon puppet is now nearly five meters. Whether it takes off or lands, sand and rocks are flying, and there is a lot of noise.
It landed in front of the Keshan Treasure House. He Lingchuan and the others have seen clearly that the source of the red light is part of the runes on the stone platform. However, the platform is very high from the ground. Standing on the flat ground, you can't see these runes, you can only see the hazy red light.
This place is empty, without a single figure, and the night wind blows through the treetops, making a humming sound.
He Lingchuan jumped off the ground and shouted: "Come out, I have seen you in the sky."
A man turned out from behind the stone platform, his face full of anger: "Did you cause what happened here? "
Although it was dark, He Lingchuan could recognize this familiar face.
This man was Fu Liushan.
On a rainy night a few days ago, they stayed in a small town tavern, and this guy drank with them all night.
The next day, the two sides parted ways, but Fu Liushan went to Liangshan.
Dong Rui blinked: "We came here when we saw the red light, and we also want to know what happened here."
Fu Liushan looked at him, then at He Lingchuan, still frowning, but with a strange look in his eyes: "Hey, your voices sound so familiar?"
Since entering Baitouling to meet the fox demon, He Lingchuan and the other person have been wearing masks throughout the whole process. Fu Liushan can't see their true faces, but recognizes their voices.
"Uh, He?" He pointed at He Lingchuan first, then at Dong Rui, "Wei?"
Exactly.
After leaving Beijia, Dong Rui used the pseudonym Wei Yishan.
At this time, it is meaningless to force yourself to say "I am not, you admit your mistake." He Lingchuan and Dong Rui looked at each other, and did not take off their masks: "It's us. "
Fu Liushan's eyes flickered: "I knew you two were not simple, how could you be a passing merchant? Ha, you also covet the things here?"
Even though he recognized He and Dong, his eyes were full of vigilance.
Meeting again in the wilderness, and in such a place, both sides had their own ulterior motives. If they had not been drinking at the same table before, they would have been fighting now.
Dong Rui caught his implication: "Why don't you ask if we took the Luosheng Armor?"
Fu Liushan laughed: "Take it? Ahaha, it's not that easy! That Luosheng Armor has an owner."
"That's right." Dong Rui glanced at He Lingchuan, "As soon as we came here, that thing wanted to kill us and chased us all the way."
Fu Liushan looked at their flying mounts and was a little envious: "You are lucky not to die. This thing just broke free from the seal, and it is the most angry, killing anyone it sees. "
The two men were able to escape, most likely because of their flying mounts.
He Lingchuan suddenly added: "We were escorting friends across Keshan, and suddenly there was a red light here, so we went to see what was going on. As a result, the black-armored man brought a bunch of rock and earth puppets, and they started chasing us as soon as they saw us. Do you know what happened to those rock and earth puppets?"
"A few years ago, two armies fought in Keshan, and each suffered casualties. Perhaps some hatred and unwillingness were attached to the remaining armor, and Luo Shengjia bound them and used them." Fu Liushan frowned, "Then what? What were you doing just now?"
