C98 Trapped in the Valley

"Valley?" Lu Changkong didn't expect that the end of the tomb path wasn't a coffin, but a valley.

"This mountain has no foundation. . . Oh, the land has also been modified. . . " Mai Laopi checked the valley and said, "It seems that this valley has been moved to the bottom of the tomb by someone with great strength. Could it be that the valley hid something extremely important to the tomb owner? "

"What could be important?" Tang Shi pursed her lips and said: "Other than the five stone statues and a thatched hut, there's nothing else. If you want to see, I'll take you there "

Tang Shi led the two into the valley and indeed saw five stone statues kneeling side by side in front of the dilapidated thatched cottage in the depths of the valley. They were kneeling on one knee, cupping their hands in front of their chest, and looking at the sky. It seemed that these five people were sworn brothers. Strangely, the head of the stone statue at the end disappeared, leaving only an empty body there.

Lu Changkong stroked the broken neck of the stone statue and said, "The cut was very neat, as if it was cut off by a heavy weapon like a giant axe or a ghost head knife. The person who cut the stone statue seemed to hate him greatly. The blade was raised behind his back, and the blade fell on the back of his neck. This position. . . "

"This posture seems to be similar to an executioner chopping his head, right?" Mai Laopi said, "The person who cut off the stone statue not only wants to kill him, but also wants to make him lose his reputation. This way it seems that it is easy to explain why there is a prince missing in the mural. "

Lu Changkong shook his head and said, "Sneaking into the mausoleum to modify the mural is not something that can be done in a short period of time. Even if the guarding Dragon Army is just a decoration, what about the demons in the mausoleum? Could it be a decoration too? And. . . "

" What a daring thief, to actually disturb the peace of my Long family's ancestor. " Long Baichuan came out from the tomb at the entrance of the valley, his face covered in dirt. He pointed at Lu Changkong and shouted angrily: "Kneel down and be tied up. Don't suffer too much physical pain. "

Lu Changkong was about to retort when he suddenly heard a burst of wild laughter from the top of the valley.

"Hahahahahaha. . . "

On the mouth of the mountain that was sixty to seventy feet high in the west, More than 30 men in black wearing iron masks stood in a straight line. The one in the middle looked down from above. " Demon Sky Pavilion's Demon Master has come to pay his respects? "

A Dragon Army Lieutenant pointed at the sky and scolded, "What are you trying to do, you son of a b * tch? . . . ”

"How dare you!" Jing Tian shouted angrily and kicked a millstone-sized rock. The rock was like a cannonball, and with a loud bang, it smashed the cursing person into the ground.

The Dragon Army looked at the blood that was seeping out from the cracks of the rock and couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

Jing Tian smiled faintly and said: "There is a table at the entrance of the valley. On top of it is the 'Five Flames Burning Heart Pill'. Whoever is willing to walk out of the valley and consume the pill, I will definitely treat him as a true friend. On the contrary, he will be the sworn enemy of our sect. I will give everyone two hours to consider. Once the time is up, this valley will turn into a sea of fire. Everyone will similarly be burned by the furious flames. "

A person beside him suddenly knelt down and said: "Please forgive me, Devil Lord. Allow me to kill Loong Beichuan immediately. "

"Hmm?" Jing Tian said in an unhappy tone, "Are you going to disobey my orders?"

"I dare not!" The man prostrated on the ground. "That Loong Beichuan has a grudge with me for killing his son. If I don't kill Loong Beichuan, I will die with everlasting regret. "

"I don't care what kind of grudge there is between you and Loong Beichuan. However, if you want to question my order, I will not let you off lightly. " Jing Tian changed the topic. "As long as Loong Beichuan consumes the Five Flame Heart Burning Pill, he will be your brother. The grudge between you two must be written off. If he refuses to surrender, I will allow you to personally light a fire and burn this valley. "

"Thank you Demon Master!"

After bowing, that person stood up, pulled down his mask, and said in a stern voice, "Loong Beichuan, do you recognize me?"

Loong Beichuan frowned and kept silent. He must have forgotten who the man was. Lu Changkong said coldly, "It's you! You were the one who mistook me for Loong Beichuan in front of the tomb. You were the one who set up the formation to kill Loong Beichuan, and you were also the one who trapped me?"

"It was me!" The man said with a fierce smile, "It was me, Cang Muke. Ten years ago, Loong Beichuan captured my son. He caused his head to be seen in front of everyone, and he refined the Nascent Infant. He will never reincarnate. I spent ten years of painstaking effort to set up the Wind Blade Soul Shattering Array to ambush Loong Beichuan, but you messed up the whole situation. If you hadn't opened the gap in the Wind Blade Array, how could he have escaped? So you must die as well. "

Cang Muke suddenly smiled and said," Loong Beichuan, you are the descendant of the Eastern Qi King, Long Jingtian. Don't do anything that makes me look down on you! Oh! Perhaps it was better to consume the Five Flames Burning Heart Pill. As a dignified descendant of Long Jingtian, consuming poison and being at the mercy of others was also rather interesting. Hahaha. . . "

Jing Tian looked coldly at Cang Muke's performance. When his laughter stopped, he said coldly," Have you laughed enough? You haven't forgotten the rule of our sect, 'Unless you don't have to show your true face', right?"

"Demon Lord. . . I. . . "

Jing Tian didn't wait for him to finish speaking. He raised his hand and swept it across the back of his ear, tearing off Cang Muke's face. "Give him a slight punishment as a warning to others. "

Cang Muke covered his bleeding face, endured the pain, and nodded. "Thank. . . Thank you. . . . Kahn "

Jing Tian raised his hand and threw the human skin towards the valley. "Loong Beichuan, you still have two hours to think about it. I advise you to think about it carefully. Sometimes living is more important than an undeserved reputation. " With that, he left with his hands behind his back.

After Jing Tian left, Loong Beichuan immediately ordered, "Dragon Army, stand by and wait for orders. Send someone to the valley entrance to take a look. " Loong Beichuan glanced at Lu Changkong out of the corner of his eye, as if he was deliberately avoiding his gaze. After hesitating for a while, he whispered a few words to the personal guards beside him, then hurried to the valley entrance.

Not long after he left, more than twenty Dragon Army guards surrounded Lu Changkong. Lu Changkong sneered and flicked his finger. "Friend, what is the meaning of this?"

"Please don't misunderstand, young master. Just now, the general ordered us to protect young master with our lives. "

Lu Changkong did not know whether to laugh or cry. "I want to go to the valley entrance to take a look!"

"Young master, please!" The personal guard politely made a welcoming gesture and consciously followed behind Lu Changkong.

Before they reached the entrance of the valley, they heard a series of screams. When they rushed forward to look, there were already twenty or so hedgehog like corpses lying at the entrance of the valley. The black-clothed person stood outside the valley entrance and sneered, "The person who wants to take the medicine. . . He put down his weapon and slowly walked over. Whoever thinks they can stop the three hundred Blood God Crossbows and break out of the valley, you might as well look at the example in front of you "

Waving his hand, two bloody human heads were thrown out from the woods behind him. One of them was the personal guard of Dragon Army, who was famous for their defensive ability, and the other was the captain of the scouts, who was famous for his speed. Although these two men avoided the Blood God Crossbow, they were no match for the invisible killers in the woods, and their heads were still taken by them.

When Dragon Army saw these two heads, their hearts immediately turned cold.

Suddenly, someone ran to Loong Beichuan's side in the valley and whispered, "General, there is no defense on the south side of the hill. "

Loong Beichuan thought of something and said, "Let's go and take a look!"

Lu Changkong, who had caught up, sneered and said, "General, it's better not to go. If there was no one guarding the south, there must be some powerful mechanisms hidden there that could not be easily taken risks. I think the people of the Demon Sky Pavilion mainly want to steal graves. Ambushing the Dragon Army is just a coincidence. Looking at the angry arrows at the entrance of the valley, They haven't formed a circle yet. Why don't we all work together and charge towards the array. Perhaps we still have a chance to live. "

" Charge at your mother's feet! " A Dragon Army Field Officer cursed. "Her furious arrows are still there. Do you want to charge out? You might as well slit your own neck and die a better death. "

The Dragon Army had already witnessed the power of the Nuclear Formation. They didn't dare to take the risk so easily, so they retreated to the south one after another.

Lu Changkong looked back at their backs and sneered, "Humans are so stupid. A seemingly safe place is usually the most deadly trap!"

Lu Changkong wanted to do it, but with just the three of them, it was not enough to shoot at the same time of the crossbow formation, let alone an invisible killer. With their current strength, they had to escape first. They could only pin their hopes on the negligence of Qi Tian, or perhaps Loong Beichuan suddenly figured it out in a short period of time and organized the Dragon Army's elites to break out of the encirclement before the Devil Sky Pavilion's formation was fully formed.

The only thing Lu Changkong could do now was to give Loong Beichuan some hints.

Loong Beichuan was dumbfounded the moment he arrived at the Southern Slope Mountain. The sky above the Southern Slope was covered with dark clouds. The dark green clouds seemed to carry some kind of deadly poison. The people who had rushed here earlier were all surrounded by several pitch-black corpses that were rotting. One of the Dragon Army's personal soldiers stuffed the antidote he had concocted into the hands of his comrades. With a stern expression, he said, "Let me try first. If the antidote is effective. . . General, please lead your brothers out of the trap as per usual. If I unfortunately die, then there's no need to take the risk. "

Lu Changkong let out a long sigh and said with a bitter smile," Friend, it's better not to take the risk. If they dare to use the poisonous fog to seal the valley, they must have something up their sleeves. That poison must be extremely vicious. "

The soldier smiled and said, "We can't just sit and wait for death, right? As a soldier, we have to take risks. "

He crushed a pill, wiped his nose and hands, and swallowed another two. He left one in his mouth, and then he took a deep breath. He hurried over ten steps, and with the sword in his hand, he flew up into the air. When he was twenty feet away, he saw that there was no problem, and the Genuine Essence flew up into the air. When he was thirty feet away, the sword on his single leg stopped in midair. His usual cautiousness could be seen from this.

When he saw that he was still within the safe zone, he lifted the Genuine Essence and wanted to go up again. Suddenly, his body swayed, and he turned his head and cried out: "No. . . I can't, I can't. . . Try again. . . "

"Bang!" The person fell to the ground and rolled more than ten times. By the time he landed in the valley, he had already been corroded into a white bone by the deadly poison.

Loong Beichuan looked at the ghastly white bone and said with an ashen face, "This is the Bone Corrosion Poison! The demon - Poison King, must climb up the slope!"

"Hehe!" One of the men in black sneered and said, "I've been hiding my strength for more than a hundred years and haven't left my house. There are still people who remember my name, not bad. Not bad. Today, I have shown mercy and injured you, leaving you with an intact corpse. " A black gas appeared in the Poison King's hand. The corpse that had fallen on the ground earlier was sensed by the black gas. He stood up straight and his hands were as sharp as blades. They stabbed into the chests of their comrades.

The Dragon Army roared in anger. He raised his iron palm high, but he couldn't bear to slap his friend's corpse. He spat out a mouthful of blood, then he jumped down the mountain with the skeleton in his arms.

"Retreat!"

The surrounding people were so scared that their souls almost left their bodies. They hurriedly fled dozens of meters away from the Southern Slope Mountain, and only then did they stop. In just two moves, the experts of the Dragon Army had lost a few more men. It forced Loong Beichuan to grit his teeth and say: "Gather and break out of the encirclement!"

"Wait!" Lu Changkong stopped him. "There is no point in breaking out of the encirclement now!"

Loong Beichuan was stunned. "What do you mean?"

Lu Changkong smiled bitterly and said, "They do not intend to surrender at all! Jing Tian had scolded his subordinate angrily just now. He even acted like he had torn off Cang Muke's face. They hadn't set up a trap, so they didn't dare fall out with the Dragon Army right away. Now that the trap has been set, there's no need for them to wait for another two hours. "

The Long siblings looked up at the green clouds in the sky. They suddenly realized what was going on. Loong Wantonh said angrily, "Since you have seen through his scheme, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"I also just found out. " Lu Changkong spread out his hands. "Besides, when I was at the mouth of the valley, I already told you to break out with all your strength. However, someone said, Rush to your mother's feet. I saw that the general didn't have any objections, so I thought that you would have some good ideas!"

The officer who had scolded Lu Changkong earlier could not hold it in anymore and jumped out to shout: "I see that you are with them. Tell me, what other schemes do you have?"

"I have your mother's feet!" Lu Changkong was furious. He lowered his palm and pointed his Heavenly Regret Sword Finger, ready to strike.

"Don't be rude! Retreat to the side. " Loong Beichuan shouted at the lieutenant to step back. He cupped his hands at Lu Changkong and ordered: "Brothers who know how to use earth escape, break out of the encirclement in front of us! The rest of the brothers dug for cover on the spot. They could hold them off for a while. When the brothers outside bring reinforcements, we'll be saved. "

" It's useless to do that. " Lu Changkong poured a bucket of cold water on them mercilessly. "The thing underneath your feet is not dirt, it is purple gold rock. The mixture of gold and earth was as hard as steel. To be able to escape from here, I can't think of anyone other than the martial grandmasters of the Five Elemental Inner Hidden Arts. With the standard flying swords in your hands, If you can dig until dawn and put your feet in, then that's already pretty good. "

Lu Changkong's words made Dragon Army angry. Loong Beichuan said with an ashen face, "Dig for cover!" Most of the Dragon Army made a heavy humph before turning around and digging for cover with their flying swords. In the past, apart from creating a spark on the ground, not a single piece of the palm-sized rock had been dug out. Each and every one of them sat on the ground like a gourd with a muffled mouth, sighing and sighing.

Lu Changkong was still walking with his hands behind his back. Mai Laopi saw that he was not in a hurry and guessed that he had a way to escape, so he leaned against the rock and hummed a tune. As long as Little Tang Shi was so anxious that she spun around and grabbed Lu Changkong's hand, she asked, "Lu Changkong, do you have a way to get out? I don't want to die here. "

"Sigh!" Lu Changkong let out a long sigh and said, "I have no choice. There will be a big fire at the bottom of the valley. I will kill you with one palm. It was better to die a quick death than to be burned alive. Let me tell you, The person who was burned not only had a body as black as charcoal, but also emitted a fragrance. It smells like roasted pork trotters. "

"I don't want to die. . . " Tang Shi didn't wait for him to finish. She burst into tears.

Loong Wantonh suddenly walked over and bowed. "Mr Lu, is it?"

Lu Changkong did not have a good impression of her. When he saw her walk over, he immediately said with a glib tone, "It's just that, I, am not talented. My surname is Lu coincidentally. Miss, you can call me Lu instead of Mr Lu. It's more pleasing to hear you call me Lu. "

Lu Changkong looked at Loong Beichuan, who stopped the soldiers who were about to make a move, and smiled even more proudly.
