Great Xuanwu Sheng

Chapter 47 General Forum

 “Sure enough.”

 Chen Mu was not surprised at all at this time. He had already had a premonition that the Black Crow Sect wanted to make some big noise, but what the other party did was indeed crazy.

If one million people in the entire outer city are kidnapped and used as blackmail and bargaining chips, it is indeed possible to force the major forces in the inner city to make certain concessions. After all, although the inner city lords do not care about a few lives in the outer city, But if it is the entire outer city, it is a completely different concept.

Moreover, this method is difficult to stop by pure force. Even those at the level of muscle-changing or even bone-forging cannot completely kill the gray-skinned rats that are everywhere in the outer city.

Xu Hongyu is also aware of the seriousness of the problem. At the moment, she has no time to worry about the situation and mechanisms in the underground passage. She must nip the Black Crow Sect's delusion in the cradle before things get out of hand.

　　唰!

Xu Hongyu was the first to enter the underground passage. Someone behind him immediately followed with a torch, followed by Min Baoyi, Chen Mu and other people from the Jiutiaoli City Guards. The group entered the passage in a mighty manner.

 The passage was not particularly narrow and could accommodate two people walking side by side. However, the entire passage was filled with the smell of decay and blood. After everyone rushed for a while, some corpses soon appeared in the passage.

These are the Black Crow Cult members who went down to explore the passage before, and they were hit by some sharp arrows.

Xu Hongyu only glanced at it briefly, then ignored it and continued to fight forward. After walking for a while, two forked roads appeared in front of them. Min Baoyi behind him immediately said: "On the left, there is a trap and a dead end on the right."

This was also found out in a short while before with the lives of people.

Relying on the previously explored underground conditions, everyone avoided many traps in the tunnel. However, because Xu Hongyu was traveling very fast, they soon arrived at a completely unfamiliar area.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 simultaneously!

I don’t know what mechanism was triggered, but suddenly there was a sound of breaking the air in front of the passage, accompanied by a cold light.

 “Watch out!”

 Someone reminded me loudly.

But Xu Hongyu, the leader, did not retreat. With a shake of his hand, the soft sword was unsheathed, and a sword light bloomed in the narrow passage, gathering into a semicircular barrier like countless raindrops.

There was only a clanging sound of gold and iron, and all the incoming darts were shot down by Xu Hongyu.

There is an existence in the Yijin realm that opens the way, and ordinary traps are almost in vain. Whether it is darts, hidden arrows, or some mechanisms that spray poisonous water and poisonous mist, many of them are cut off by Xu Hongyu's sword before they are triggered. Even the poisonous water sprayed in the front can He blocked them all with almost watertight sword flowers and pushed them forward.

 Let’s move forward for a while again.

finally.

A very spacious stone chamber appeared in front of it. There were still some messy footprints in the stone chamber. It was obvious that there were still people here just now, but they had all evacuated at this time.

In addition to the passage through which everyone came in, there are four other branching roads leading to different directions in the stone chamber.

“This should be near their main altar.”

Min Baoyi spoke in a deep voice. He had been estimating the distance along the way.

 The four forked roads all have obvious mixed footprints, obviously leading to different areas inside.

“Don’t delay, divide your troops, and kill anyone who resists!”

Xu Hongyu spoke in a deep voice, her figure flashed, and she rushed into the leftmost passage alone.

Xiao He was about to say something when he saw that Xu Hongyu had disappeared. A look of helplessness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Xu Chasi, please take the second way, Min Chaosi, please separate some people and take the third way."

The person who was called 'Xu Chasi' was the Chasi of the General Division and one of Xu Hongyu's men. He responded and immediately led the people behind him into the second passage. Then Min Baoyi also looked behind him and said quickly. : "Wang Gong, Zhong Chang, take your people with me, Chen Mu, Qin Bei, you guys follow Adjutant He."

After finishing speaking, he led the people into the third passage.

Qin Bei obviously also knows Xiao He's identity. She is not an adjutant, but Xu Hongyu's personal maid. Her status with Xu Hongyu is higher than that of Min Baoyi, and her strength is not weaker. There is no objection to this, and Chen Mu has no doubt about it. . Xiaohe also looked serious at this time. With a wave of his hand, he led Qin Bei, Chen Mu and others into the fourth passage. After taking dozens of steps forward, the front suddenly opened up, but it was a dark prison.

 Some emaciated, half-dead prisoners could be vaguely seen groaning in the prison.

“Those who have disappeared in the past few months are probably all here.”

Thoughts flashed through Chen Mu's mind.

Although it is unclear what the Black Crow Cult is doing by arresting these people, judging from the scene in front of them, it is nothing more than using these people to cultivate gray-skinned mice, either to draw blood, or to do other cruel things. means.

But just as Chen Mu scanned the cages one by one, trying to find familiar people in them, suddenly there was a creaking sound, which soon became continuous and converged into the sound of rustling wind, which made people's hair stand on end.

 Everyone’s expressions changed instantly.

Looking towards the depths of the prison ahead.

But just when everyone's attention was focused on the prison, there was a sudden bang from the passage behind, as if something heavy fell down, followed by a muffled sound. When they turned around to look, they saw a big stone falling. , blocking the retreat.

 Some policemen immediately became frightened and confused when they saw this.

 “Don’t panic!”

 Qin Bei and Chen Mu spoke out at the same time.

 The voices of both of them were steady and strong, without any panic.

Qin Bei has been a veteran for many years, and he is also the only one among the city guards who can master the power of the sword except Chen Mu. However, he is now over thirty-five years old, and the body tempering method has stopped at training the flesh. Xiaocheng has no chance to go further, nor is he good enough to be promoted to Chasi, but in terms of strength, he is still the strongest one in the Kujoli City Guards Department besides Min Baoyi.

Having the realm of both physical training and sword skills, he is also said to have experienced hundreds of battles. He will naturally not panic when the situation changes.

Not to mention Chen Mu, strength is his greatest confidence. Just like the previous passage, if he were to open the way in front, he might not be able to push through all the traps like Xu Hongyu did, but most of the traps would have no effect on him. No threat.

With a skin of copper and steel, he is also highly skilled in meat training. Those mechanical and hidden arrows are almost difficult to damage, and poisonous water and the like are basically difficult to damage. Poisonous mist is a little trickier, but with his sword skills, he can still kill him before it disperses. Destroy the source of the spray.

Even tunnels full of traps pose little threat to him, let alone in such an open area.

The two sergeants spoke at the same time, immediately calming down some of the panicked sergeants behind them. However, Xiao He did not say anything. Looking at the reactions of Chen Mu and Qin Bei, a glimmer of approval flashed in his eyes.

Qin Bei is not bad. After all, she is a veteran in Jiu Tiao. She is not weak in strength and she knows the details very well. However, Chen Mu is able to remain calm despite changes at his age, which shows that he has a calm mind and is basically consistent with Min Baoyi's evaluation.

 Given time,

 You will definitely become an effective subordinate.

If there is still a slight possibility to break through the shackles of Yijin and step into the third level of Body Tempering Yijin, then he is expected to become Xu Hongyu's right-hand man and play a decisive role.

“That should be the so-called ‘Dharma Protector’ of the Black Crow Cult.”

 Xiao He looked forward and spoke slowly.

As he finished speaking, he saw a large number of gray-skinned rats pouring out from the depths of the prison in front of him. They were of different sizes. The largest one was almost twice as big as what Chen Mu had seen before, which was unusual. The size of a mouse.

These gray-skinned rats came like a tide, directly flooding every prison cell. The half-dead prisoners could barely scream before being drowned by them, accompanied by bursts of crunching and gnawing sounds, which was horrifying.
