Nightwatcher

Hearing this question, Qian You suddenly regained his spirits. He coughed a few times to attract the attention of the gang brothers, and said:

"Guangzhu, brothers, I have invited rescuers for you. Rest assured, we will be able to go out soon."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the words, and said excitedly: "Is it the Gongsun family from Xiangzhou Wulin? Or the Dragon God Fort by the Heishui River?"

"If it's these two families, we will be saved this time."

"That's right, the Patriarch of the Gongsun family is the fifth rank, and there are many masters under him. There is no shortage of masters who are proficient in heretical techniques. Dragon God Fort is stronger. However, these two forces are not good-looking. I am afraid that the things in the tomb are not good. For our part, we have to pay a sky-high price."

"Is the lard fooling your mind? Life is gone, what's the use of money. As long as we can get us out, everything will be easy to handle."

The leader of the sick man exhaled foul breath, nodded and said, "Qianyou, you are doing very well."

Qian You was silent for a long time, and said with a strange expression: "I, the helper I am looking for is not from the Gongsun family, nor from Dragon God Castle."

"What?"

Everyone was disappointed for a while, and the excitement disappeared without a trace.

The martial arts forces near Xiangcheng, the Gongsun family and Longshenbao are well-deserved leaders, and they have a close relationship with the Xiangcheng government, and many masters of the rivers and lakes are attached to them.

If there is anyone in Xiangcheng who can save them, it must be the two forces.

The light of hope in the eyes of the Sick Man's leader suddenly dimmed.

The deputy leader in white robes asked: "It's not Dragon God Fortress or the Gongsun family, so what grade and identity did the helper you hire, casual cultivator, or someone with a sect background?"

The vice-leader is Gongyangsu, a sorcerer. As we all know, apart from Sitianjian, there are very few sorcerers in the Jianghu.

Warlocks can look at Qi and are good at geomantic omen, they are simply born tomb robbers. Therefore, Gongyangsu is the treasure of the Houtu Gang. Although he is the deputy leader, the whole gang listens to him very much.

As soon as Gong Yangsu opened his mouth, everyone fell silent and looked at Qian You.

"It's a coincidence that I ran into those helpers on the side of the road, but they seem to be looking for someone too." Qian You, the rudder master, looked at the little girl in Nanjiang and said with emotion:

"Miss Lina, they are here to look for you."

Then everyone looked at the girl from southern Xinjiang. Lina, who was struggling to deal with the sesame seed cakes, raised her head, her mouth smeared with crumbs, and her expression was confused.

"It's my first time to come to Dafeng, and the people in my family didn't come with me." Lina shook her head, expressing that she was lonely and had no friends.

Qian You explained: "The one I met was a sixth-grade copper-skinned and iron-skinned martial artist. He looked extremely handsome and carried a woman with disheveled hair on his back."

Before he finished speaking, Lina shook her head quickly: "I don't know."

"But they were indeed looking for you, and they asked me if there were any girls from southern Xinjiang among those who went to the tomb. I was thinking that you are the only girl from southern Xinjiang in Xiangcheng recently."

The Sick Man's Helper frowned. He didn't think Lina would hide or argue about this matter. First of all, this girl was innocent and innocent.

Secondly, everyone is in a desperate situation, and it is time to help each other. Who wants to go out early, and it is meaningless to hide these things at this time.

Finally, if this girl has a friend of a sixth-rank warrior in Dafeng, why bother to starve for three days and three nights? If she hadn't invited her to eat a meal, she would have been ready to rob her.

Thinking of this, the leader of the sick man's gang pondered: "Didn't you say that there are several people? Tell me about the characteristics of the other few people in detail."

Qian You nodded, and said: "Besides the man and the woman, there is also a burly and fierce-looking great monk; a swordsman in a blue shirt, he can fly with a sword, it's really a fairy trick."

"Flying with the sword?" The sick man's leader was taken aback. He had never heard of a warrior who could fly with the sword.

"Do you know him?" Gongyangsu looked at Lina.

Nanjiang Xiaoman girl shook her head: "I don't know."

Really don't know? This, how is this possible? The hero and his companions are looking for Miss Lina! Qian You continued with doubts:

"There is also a Daoist, I heard others call him Daoist Jinlian."

"Prince Jinlian?!"

Lina suddenly screamed, her brows were beaming with joy, and she said again and again: "I know you, I know you. Daoist Jinlian is a senior I trust very much. Daoist Jinlian came to look for me. Daoist Jinlian is really a good person."

It turned out that they knew each other. Everyone was relieved.

From this point of view, the person who really met Lina was the Daoist Jin Lian, and the rest were helpers brought in by the Daoist.

The burly bald head should be the monk Hengyuan, and the blue-clothed swordsman who is number six flying with the sword is number four. Well, the battle between heaven and man is imminent. Who is the handsome sixth-rank warrior in the capital now? Will there be such a character in our world? Lina's not-so-intelligent brain turned quickly, and she took the "friend" that Qian You called into her seat.

But I can't think of who "a man and a woman" are.

"Miss Lina."

A gang member looked at her excitedly, and looked at her with bright eyes, "How are your friends?"

Lina has a pure personality and answers all questions: "Daoist Jinlian is a master of the Dizong. I don't know the exact rank, but he must be much, much better than me."

Images of powerful hands tearing up zombies and fighting with man-eating monsters appeared in everyone's minds, and the Taoist priest Jinlian was stronger than her, and his heart was full of enthusiasm and hope.

"The bald monk is a Buddhist monk, and his cultivation is also very powerful."

Lina didn't know much about Hengyuan, so she skipped it directly, and continued: "As for the swordsman in blue, his name is Chu Yuanzhen. He is one of the protagonists in the battle between heaven and man, representing Renzong and the saint of Tianzong in the fight."

"What?!"

Everyone exclaimed, and the sick man's leader was also dumbfounded.

Xiangzhou is not far from the capital city, only three or four days' journey on horseback. The dispute between man and nature has already spread throughout the capital city and surrounding states.

As far as Xiangcheng Wulin is concerned, many people from all over the world went to the capital, intending to watch the grand event of the struggle between heaven and man, even though it was just a desperate contest between the juniors of Renzong and Tianzong.

Now, I suddenly heard that one of the protagonists of "The Struggle Between Heaven and Man" came down to the grave to save them.

The mood of the people in the Houtu Gang is like that of an old farmer in the field when he hears that the emperor is coming to help him plant rice seedlings.

Too dreamy, so that people doubt the authenticity.

But this was said by Lina. They all know Lina's character. She is a naive and kind girl who has no scheming, is warm to others, and will not lie.

However, this does not mean that she is a fool. The members of the Houtu Gang once saw with their own eyes that in the team, a person from the rivers and lakes who had been recruited to explore the cemetery together wanted to defile her at night.

As a result, Miss Lina slapped her, and her head exploded like a watermelon.

Dare to travel thousands of miles from southern Xinjiang to the capital, without a few brushes, you can't get to Xiangcheng at all.

"A master of the Dizong, a monk of Buddhism, a disciple of the Renzong in the struggle between heaven and man." A member of the Houtu Gang swallowed hard, with an excited expression:

"Then, what is the background of that man and woman? How sacred? To be able to walk with these people, they must be famous people, Miss Lina?"

A group of excited eyes looked over, expecting to hear a dazzling name from her mouth.

Lina tilted her head, thought for a while, and said, "I don't know."

This answer is so disappointing that everyone said.

At this time, Qian You coughed and asked, "Master, you just said that there are monsters hunting you, what kind of monster is that?"

"It looks like a huge lizard, but it has a human face, a mouth full of fangs, and it moves extremely fast, but it's silent." The eyes of the sick man's gang leader flashed fear, and he said in a low voice:

"It likes to eat internal organs, but all the limbs of those killed by it are intact, and the internal organs are indeed empty."

That's not right. The lower body of the corpse I saw was bitten off. Qian You's heart sank, and he asked again, "What about the body shape?"

"It's about seven feet long, not too big."

At this moment, Lina's pinna moved, and she caught an unusual sound in the silent darkness. She got up instinctively, and shouted: "Be careful, it's coming again."

As the voice fell, a shadow sprang out from the darkness, and with a flick of its tongue, it wrapped around the nearest Houtu Gang member, trying to take him away.

boom!

With the sound of the floor tiles cracking, Lina rushed out like a cannonball and slammed into the black shadow.

The moment the penis was knocked into the air, it flicked its tail and slapped Lina's back. With a crisp sound, the clothes on her back were torn apart, exposing delicate skin and dripping out fine drops of blood.

After the Yin thing was knocked into the air, it suddenly became silent, as if it had just receded.

But Lina didn't relax her vigilance, she listened attentively and caught the clues around her.

"Everyone be careful, this evil thing is very cunning, be careful not to let it sneak up on us."

The leader of the sick man's guild drew out his weapon, and stood ready with all the guild members.

In the past few days, members of the Houtu Gang died one after another, allowing those who survived to understand the monster's temperament.

The evil creature didn't dare to confront Miss Lina head-on, and often hid in the dark waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack them.

One hit and go immediately.

Lina backed away slowly, and snatched the torch from Qianyou's hand. She held the torch and listened for a moment, then suddenly threw the torch out.

In the swaying flames, everyone saw a huge lizard monster attached to the wall, with two taupe eyes growing on both sides, slightly dull, and seemed to be very insensitive to light.

Qian You saw the monster's appearance clearly for the first time. Its body was less than a foot long, its tail was as long as its body, and its whole body was covered with thick horniness.

The moment the fire light hit the monster, Lina showed a powerful explosion after eating. She silently bent her knees, and with a sudden bounce, her figure disappeared before the sound of the blue bricks under her feet shattered.

The monster attached to the wall sensed the abnormality, swayed and disappeared.

Lina, who has rich hunting experience in southern Xinjiang, chased after her. One person and one object competed in the tomb. Suddenly, there was the sound of "bang bang" fighting, and the roar of monsters; Lina scolded.

Finally, everything is calm.

"Li, Miss Lina?"

The Sick Man Gang Leader forced his voice not to tremble.

In the deathly silence, Lina moaned: "It hurts me to death."

Immediately afterwards, she came out of the darkness, dragging the monster's body in her hand.

The cheers exploded, and the members of the Houtu Gang burst into tears of surprise and roared to vent their depression.

The crisis that had plagued them for many days was finally resolved.

Lina threw Yinwu's body in front of everyone, and said happily, "Can it be eaten?"

Those who dare not eat, dare not eat, and the Houtu Gang shook their heads again and again.

"Miss Lina, this thing grows in the tomb, eats poisonous carrion to grow, and absorbs filthy air. It is highly poisonous to us." Warlock Gong Yangsu reminded.

"Hoo, hoo hoo"

In the tunnel ahead, the sound of wind was poured in, and the torch was blown out with the smelly sound of wind.

The sound of the wind is like breathing, with rhythmic ups and downs.

No, that's the sound of breathing.

Gongyangsu's face turned pale in vain, and he said hoarsely, "There is an evil spirit ahead, something is coming."

Just survived the catastrophe, everyone who was in a happy mood, their hearts sank.

"Go and light the torch." The sick man's leader ordered, and then looked at Lina with a serious face: "You, can you still fight?"

Qian You tremblingly ran to the position of the torch, took out the flint, clicked the ignition, his hand was trembling constantly, no matter how the flint hit a flame.

The sound of breathing is getting closer and closer, and the stench is getting stronger. However, there was no sound of footsteps.

"Quick, quick, quick"

Qian You was about to explode, Kaka, the flint ignited a weak flame, igniting the grease on the torch.

"call!"

The flames rose, dispelling the darkness.

Qian You grabbed the torch and threw it into the distance without saying a word.

The torch fell to the ground, sparking dazzling sparks, and as the light suddenly shone, everyone saw the scene in the corridor.

In the passageway, a huge genital crawled and forcibly moved, just like when hunting, it was ready to go.

This genital was three times the size of the previous one, and belonged to the same species. Its taupe eyes were slightly dull, its lips were closed, but its upper fangs protruded.

besides? !

The light from the torch exploded for only a moment, and the next moment, everyone couldn't see it.

The leader of the sick man's gang felt a gust of wind passing by, as if something extremely fast passed by him at high speed, and then he found that Lina had disappeared.

"Lina!!"

The leader of the sick man yelled and turned around suddenly, and everyone followed him.

Behind him, the monster grabbed the little man girl from southern border, shook its head, and swayed fatally.

The leader of the sick man's gang was about to burst into tears, and shouted: "Save people, save people, kill this beast."

In the darkness, Lina's painful roar came.

At this moment, someone shouted from the corridor on the other side: "Stand back!"

A man in green shirt holding a torch rushed out of the tunnel, raised his sword finger and pierced the torch, the flame seemed to be given life, and sprang up in vain.

The man in the green shirt pinched a cluster of flames with his fingertips, and suddenly popped out.

The flames pierced through the air, wiped out straight and bright thin lines in the darkness, and pierced the monster's back.

Boom!

The flesh and blood exploded, and the stench of burnt air filled the air.

The Yin thing that was suddenly attacked let go of the prey in its mouth, regained consciousness, let out a deep growl, turned into a phantom, and rushed towards the man in the blue shirt.

A figure flashed out from behind the man in the blue shirt, and faced the Yin thing. During the process, a little golden paint lit up from between his eyebrows and spread all over his body.

He let out a low growl, and bumped his head.

Duang!

The Yin thing seemed to hit an iron plate, his whole head trembled, and his forward body got stuck. And that golden figure flew out backwards, like a piece of divine iron, slammed into the wall.

In this gap, another figure soared into the sky, taking advantage of the dizziness of the yin thing, it jumped steadily on top of its head.

Chanting Amitabha Buddha in his mouth, he raised his casserole-sized fist.

bang bang bang

In the fists that were dense like rain, the Yin thing struggled violently, then convulsed all over, and finally lost its life because its brains were blown out.

Daoist Jin Lian held a torch and was the last one to appear on the stage. He said gently: "Don't be afraid, we are here to save you."

Qian You shouted excitedly: "They are Miss Lina's friends, and they are my rescuers."

A group of Houtu gang stared straight at Daoist Jin Lian, only to feel that the other party's demeanor was gentle and unpredictable, which perfectly fit the posture of a peerless master in their hearts.

"Thank you Daoist for saving your life, thank you for saving your life."

The members of the Houtu Gang cheered.

Daoist Jin Lian, who was holding a torch, nodded slightly, looked around, and saw Lina lying in a pool of blood in the darkness in the distance.

Daoist Jin Lian stepped forward to check the situation, half of her body was bitten and bloody, with visceral organs faintly visible, thin silver threads sprang out from the flesh and blood of the wound, they quickly covered those terrible wounds, stopped the bleeding, and repaired the injury.

If the natal Gu is not traumatized, the people of the Gu clan will not die.

Daoist Jinlian heaved a sigh of relief.

On the other side, Zhong Li grabbed Xu Qi'an's ankle, leaned back at a forty-five degree angle, and pulled him out of the wall.

Xu Qi'an dispersed King Kong Bubai, and asked loudly, "Master Daoist, how is your little friend?"

"I suffered some injuries, but my life is fine." Daoist Jin Lian waved to Zhong Li and said:

"Does Miss Zhong bring healing pills?"

Zhong Li said "Yes", took out a porcelain bottle from the linen robe, and obediently handed it to Daoist Jin Lian: "One pill a day, three days will become a cure."

Daoist Jinlian pulled out the cork and sniffed it. It was a healing pill of excellent quality.

Si Tianjian is really rich. The poor Taoist has no money for alchemy for many years. Priest Jin Lian thought enviously, leaned over and pried open Lina's mouth, and fed a pill.

Holding a torch, Xu Qi'an leaned over nervously and looked at the legendary No. 5. Her hair was black and brown, with slightly curly ends, and her girlish figure was like a vigorous female leopard.

The facial features are quite delicate, with thin lips, a handsome nose, and healthy wheat-colored skin, which fits the image of a little wild girl in southern Xinjiang.

She looks good, and her facial features are slightly more three-dimensional than that of Dafeng girl. She is a beautiful female netizen! Xu Qi'an nodded, quite satisfied.

After confirming that No. 5 was fine, Xu Qi'an, Chu Yuanzhen and others waved torches and looked at the corpse of the evil thing.

"What kind of monster is this?"

The uneducated Xu Qi'an said in his heart: Damn.

"It should be a tomb-slayer beast."

Chu Yuanzhen, who is knowledgeable and talented, explained: "I have read related records that after the ancients died, they would put strange beasts in the tomb and let them act as guards to guard the tomb.

"The number of this kind of strange beasts will be huge at the beginning. If they want to survive, they can only eat their companions or rotting corpses to feed themselves. Until they die out slowly."

Daoist Jin Lian added: "It has been reproduced from generation to generation, nourished by Yin Qi, and the poison that devours carrion corpses and graves has long been completely different from their ancestors."

"Is the corpse worth anything?" Xu Qi'an asked.

Daoist Jinlian shook his head.

"Zhong Li, I'll leave her in your care. Carry her on your back." Xu Qi'an looked away realistically, and stopped paying attention to the corpse of the evil thing, and said:

"Don't stay too far away from me, or I won't be able to take care of you."

Too far away, my invisible wings can't protect you!

Daoist Jin Lian was a little worried about such an arrangement. After all, No. 5 was already injured, and it would be too cruel for her to let her follow Si Tianjian's prophet.

With this kid's luck, there should be no major problems. Daoist Jin Lian immediately looked at the Houtu Gang who survived the catastrophe, said a few words of comfort, and said, "Follow us closely and take you out."

After finishing speaking, he signaled Xu Qi'an to lead the way.

A group of people held torches and continued on their way.

The leader of the Sick Man's Gang looked at the backs of the masters and recalled the battle just now. The man in the blue shirt with the sword on his back must be one of the protagonists in the "Battle between Heaven and Man".

The Buddhist monk was so powerful that he killed the evil thing with his bare hands. Miss Lina didn't reveal his identity in detail. I thought he was just a helper. Who would have thought that he would be so powerful.

The sixth-rank young martial artist looked very ordinary, the Sick Man's leader said in his heart.

In his opinion, it is natural for a sixth-grade copper-skinned and iron-framed warrior to resist beatings, so Xu Qi'an's performance was mediocre and he didn't have any outstanding operations.

As for the woman with disheveled hair, she was so weird that she didn't make a move, so she couldn't judge.

While thinking about it, the leader of the sick man heard the subordinates around him exclaim in surprise: "I have walked out of the maze!"

At the end of the corridor, there is a huge tomb. In the center of the tomb is a bronze coffin. In addition, there are some funerary objects in the room: gold and silver, utensils, ceramics, books and so on.

Over the long years, the silver has been severely oxidized and is in the shape of wax tears, while the gold is still well preserved. As for books and cloth, they almost shattered at the touch.

This tomb is not completely isolated from oxygen Xu Qi'an glanced at it and asked, "Is this the main tomb?"

"No, it's a side room."

The sick man's lord said: "It should be one of the side rooms of the tombs of the many guards."

The members of the Houtu Gang are excited to collect valuables such as gold and silver, and turn a blind eye to books and other things. This is not because they are vulgar and only recognize gold.

So it is even more clear that books cannot be taken out of such an ancient tomb because they have long since decayed.

Chu Yuanzhen had an instinctive passion for books, so he casually flipped through a few of them, and the pages were as brittle as dust, and they shattered with light force.

However, he didn't get nothing, at least he knew who was buried in the coffin.

"This tomb is not simple. It is the tomb of an emperor, and his concubine was buried." Chu Yuanzhen said:

"What should I do now? If you go to the main tomb, you may encounter danger. If you go back the same way, you will re-enter the maze."

Saying that, he glanced at Xu Qi'an, "I think the latter is safer."

Although I really want to know who the owner of this tomb is, but safety first, safety first. Xu Qi'an nodded, agreeing to Chu Zhuangyuan's proposal.

Except for Lina who is unconscious and Zhong Li who has no opinion, the members of the Tiandihui agree that it is the right choice to go back the same way.

Immediately, leading the miscellaneous fishes of the back soil gang, they returned to the maze.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Xu Qi'an led everyone out of the corridor and entered a side room.

"Why are you back again?" The sick man's leader frowned.

The members of the Heaven and Earth Congregation fell silent.

"Go again." Xu Qi'an looked at Daoist Jinlian and the others.

"Okay." Chu Yuanzhen nodded solemnly.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Qi'an led everyone out of the corridor again and entered a side room.

"Why, why are you back again?" The Sick Man's leader's voice trembled.

The faces of the other members of the Houtu Gang changed accordingly, a little pale, with panic in their eyes.

"Again, go again?" Xu Qi'an swallowed his saliva.

"Okay." Chu Yuan said in a serious voice.

For the third time, they came to this side room again.

The tomb robbery team was deathly silent, Xu Qi'an twisted his neck stiffly, and looked at Zhong Li.

Zhong Li shook his head.

Daoist Jin Lian was silent for a long time, then sighed: "Go in, if you don't go in, we may never be able to get out of this tomb."

Xu Qi'an, Chu Yuanzhen, and Hengyuan exchanged eye contact, gritted their teeth, and said, "Okay."

Then, he looked at the members of the Houtu Gang and warned, "After entering the master's tomb, don't touch things or talk nonsense. Do you understand?"

Although the tomb robbers were greedy, they also knew that life was the most important thing, so they nodded repeatedly.

At this time, Gongyangsu, who was wearing a dirty white robe, looked at Zhong Li and said, "Don't use the Qi Watching Technique here."

The old man Xu Qi'an looked at him calmly.

Zhong Li lowered her head and pecked: "En."
