Chapter 159 Exploration
After a while, Zhao Sheng climbed to the top of the mountain. When he stood on the top of the mountain and looked out of the valley, he was surprised to find that the chariots and cavalry were no longer pursuing them as fast as before. Instead, they were at the intersection.
He looked around aimlessly at Zhao Sheng and observed the demeanor of the chariot and cavalry for a while. It didn't look like he was pretending, and he immediately felt more at ease, but he still felt a little strange.
Zhao Sheng and others were not the only ones who were surprised. The cavalry general who was leading the shadow-chasing rat was also confused and at a loss because the shadow-chasing rat in the cage was currently in the cage.
Wandering around in the middle, I no longer just stare at the direction of tracking like before.
In fact, this is because Zhao Sheng and others and the two chariot and cavalry generals have not come into contact with the lowest level first-level demon rat in the Xiuxian Sect, so they are so confused. This shadow chasing rat actually relies on
Sensing scent to track Zhao Sheng and others, Zhao Sheng and others are now on the top of a high mountain, and the scent has already drifted from the top of the mountain to the surrounding areas. Therefore, the Shadow Chaser sensed the scent of Zhao Sheng and others all around, so it
Wandering around like this without a clue
In fact, it was Zhao Sheng who accidentally caught the Shadow Chaser's weakness, which allowed them to temporarily escape the pursuit of the chariots and cavalry. Otherwise, Zhao Sheng, a tired and helpless army, would not have been able to withstand several attacks from others.
At this time, Guo Hong and others also climbed to the top of the mountain. Zhao Sheng told everyone his guess that something tracked by the other party might be invalid. At this time, everyone felt relieved.
But just when everyone was about to take a breath, Zhao Sheng told everyone another guess of his. It turned out that there were no obvious signs of attack on the appearance of this heavenly mechanism. It seemed that the castle was not conquered, but
He took the initiative to surrender, but Hei Saner insisted that the castle was captured, and that the dozen generals inside died in the castle together with the more than 20 generals who later broke out of the siege from the battlefield.
If no one survives, it proves that the castle was breached from the inside.
Suddenly everyone began to worry about this castle that looked extremely dangerous. It seemed that there was a secret passage, but no one knew it at the moment. Could it be that they were waiting for a sneak attack by the cavalry?
At that moment, Zhao Sheng ordered Guo Hong to take the little monkey and the little abacus to guard the dangerous road in the open and monitor the chariots and cavalry outside the valley, while he took Dashan and Hei San'er into the pass to find out what happened.
Legend has it that the city walls outside the Zhongtian Agency Castle are not as thick and wide as the city walls in the plains. Instead, they are made from local materials and cut from mountain rocks.
Like a natural hilltop, it is surrounded by steep cliffs, which are daunting at first glance, and its only exit is the winding and twisted stone path. At the intersection, two huge rocks block the road, as if it were a natural mountain.
Like a gate, it looks like the sky is dangerous, and it feels like you are surviving in a desperate situation.
The gate of the castle is not far from the top of the mountain. The entire castle seems to have hollowed out the entire mountain. When they opened the gate and looked at the dark passage inside, Zhao Sheng and the others felt a chill. That day the passage gave people a chill.
The feeling is like leading to the paradise of the dead. As the sky gets darker outside, this feeling becomes more intense.
After walking through the city gate, I arrived inside the castle in a blink of an eye. I saw deep white bones lying everywhere on the ground in the city, as far as the eye could see. From the armor and weapons on which bones were covered, it was easy to identify who they were.
There used to be soldiers guarding the Yuhua Kingdom here. No wonder this place gave people such a cold feeling at the beginning.
Zhao Sheng looked at the situation nearby, his heart moved, and he quickly used the soul control technique to sense the power of the nearby Yin spirits. After a while, Zhao Sheng's expression changed, and he stopped sensing in surprise.
Dashan and Hei San'er naturally didn't know what Zhao Sheng had done just now, and they just kept sighing at the soldiers of the Yuhua Kingdom who died here. At this time, Hei San'er said in surprise: "Look, what happened to these people when they fell to the ground?"
All the postures are directed towards the inside, as if fighting something inside before dying."
Zhao Sheng and Dashan also noticed immediately. At that moment, Zhao Sheng and Dashan nodded. Zhao Sheng continued: "It seems that our deduction is good. This place was indeed attacked by the enemy and was ultimately defeated. As long as we follow the path here
With the bones, we will surely find the secret passage through which the enemy lurked."
Dashan and Hei San'er immediately nodded in agreement, so the three of them carefully searched forward and marked each intersection clearly.
As expected, the castle seemed to have hollowed out the entire mountain. The further you walked in, the more mountains and rocks appeared. The previously smooth mountain roads had long since disappeared, but there were gradually more strange caves in the rocks. Zhao Sheng and others patiently opened a cave.
Then they searched the cave. Fortunately, the interior of the cave in some branch roads was not long, and it was easy to find the cave on the main road. However, what surprised Zhao Sheng and others was that the skeletons of the Yuhua Kingdom guards on the ground
, it became increasingly clear that they were not killed by sharp blades, but were bitten to death as if they had encountered some huge monster, because the broken bones on their bodies showed such bite marks, such as a
Several rows of sternums on the skeleton, and part of the right side was neatly bitten off.
This discovery made the three of them more and more aware that this castle was not that simple. At that moment, the three of them were busy working hard, each with a knife in their hand, and they were vigilant about the surroundings.
After walking through another long and narrow passage, he entered a huge cave. The cave suddenly became much brighter, but as soon as he entered the cave entrance, gusts of dark wind blew over him. Zhao Sheng was shocked, and his face became more suspicious.
At this moment, Zhao Sheng and the other three people quickly looked around. Although the cave here was large, there was no skeleton. However, Zhao Sheng clearly felt that the Yin spirit energy here was extremely powerful and even there was an obvious monstrous cold air slowly eroding it.
Zhao Sheng and the three of them were holding the bodies of Zhao Sheng. Although Zhao Sheng had the soul control skill to absorb the power of Yin spirits, his teeth were still shaking from the cold, and the blood in his body had a tendency to solidify.
After entering the cave, the three of them did not dare to act rashly. They stopped and looked at the cave carefully. Although the cave was extremely cold and dark, it was not completely dark and invisible. Instead, it was because of the people in the cave.
The unknown stone exuded bursts of faint blue luster, allowing the three of them to clearly see everything inside the cave. The entrance to the cave was a dozen feet wide, like a naturally formed cave.
Several smooth rocks were covered with a layer of three-inch-thick white ice, exuding cold air. On the other side of the cave, there were two cave entrances that were almost identical, and the black holes stood there.
, as if two giant pythons opened their bloody mouths, waiting for their arrival, and inside the cave there was only a staircase paved with a huge piece of bluestone leading diagonally to the depths of the ground, which looked bottomless.
There is another thing that Dashan and Hei San'er don't know. In those two caves, a large amount of billowing gray energy emerges from time to time. This is what Zhao Sheng sensed with the power of sensing Yin spirits.
Shi Dashan and Hei San'er wanted to go in and continue their investigation as soon as they held up their steel knives.
But Zhao Sheng grabbed the two of them, and then ordered in a low voice: "There is something strange here, let's go back calmly and talk about it later."
Naturally, the two Dashan people had no objection. Although they had not practiced any secret soul control skills, the cold and eerie appearance here made it clear at a glance that this place was definitely not suitable for human habitation. The three of them were about to turn around and retreat.
go
At this moment, a cold "hehe" sound suddenly came from the big cave. It was like a human laugh, but also like a ghost's sorrow. It made people feel chills on their backs and made their hair stand on end.
Zhao Sheng and the other three couldn't help looking back with a little panic. They saw souls in the shape of black clouds, tumbling and floating, slowly filling the entire cave, and then a picture emerged from the black and gray clouds.
Although the cold face with chilling aura is not clear, the boundless murderous aura and violent aura are very clear throughout the cave.
As the shadows of souls in the black and gray clouds continued to roll, they gradually condensed into generals wearing armor. The leading general, with his bow and arrows drawn, shot straight with a long arrow that was filled with cold light.
Come on, Zhao Sheng and others were listening carefully to the other side at this moment. How could they be hit so easily? The three of them ducked to the side, and then they saw a black arrow-shaped thing flying straight over, passing through where Zhao Sheng and the others had originally been.
The space where he was standing was then hit on the stone wall behind. The entire smooth stone wall was hit with a palm-deep and thigh-thick dent. As the stones shot out one after another, the stone wall penetrated the stone wall.
The black arrow on the arrow slowly dissipated, and finally turned into a black and gray cloud and disappeared.
Seeing this scene, the three of them were stunned. When they turned around and looked again, the figures flashing in the dark clouds in the cave pulled out various weapons and rushed towards the three of them with roars and strange laughter.
Judging from the appearance of those figures, it is obvious that they are some invisible gases, but these seemingly inconspicuous gases can actually hurt people in a tangible way. The arrow just now explained everything.
Zhao Sheng pressed his hand, and with a wave, the iron corpse knife appeared out of the air. He stretched out his palms, and the two sharp awls pointed at the soul objects with a cold light. Then Zhao Sheng turned around and retreated first. The mountains, black
