the enlightener says

"Brother, what happened?" Zhou Gongjin was also shocked that there was a person hiding in the soil, but what is more important now is to understand the situation here.

The imperial guard felt that his eyes were brighter, and raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Gongjin with some difficulty, and some hopeful light flashed in his eyes: "Master Zhou...?"

"It's me." Zhou Gongjin replied calmly, "Do you know where Deng Li is?"

"General Deng..." The imperial guard was obviously very tired, so he closed his eyes again, and said with some difficulty, "He only took one person with him, and he didn't go the same way as us. Maybe he is still alive, maybe..."

8 Chapter Twenty Monsters

Zhou Gongjin understood what he meant. Even though Deng Lixiu was not bad, facing swarms of unicorn moths, it might be more or less ominous.

"What happened?" Zhou Gongjin said this sentence again.

"What's the matter..." The guards of the imperial guards were a little confused, so it took a while to recall each answer, "We, a group of six people, were ordered by General Deng to explore the cave, and it was going well... until the black-clothed people……"

"The man in black?" A spy from the school affairs office immediately responded, "Isn't that the manipulator of Karma Moth? If so, then..."

Zhou Gongjin waved his hand, signaling for someone to finish speaking first.

The imperial guard opened his eyes, showing a look of fear, as if he had returned to the previous time: "He is not like a human being at all, our knives can't cut into his body at all, and then the karma...the karma appeared... "

He coughed violently, spat out a mouthful of blood, and said in grief and indignation: "We have no way to escape in the cave, we can only watch our brothers being dragged away by those karmic moths..."

A person who can't even cut through with a knife.Zhou Gongjin heard the end silently, and could probably imagine what they were facing.

In fact, this imperial guard is not weak in cultivation, and has already firmly stood at the second level of Qi and blood.Otherwise, it would be impossible to hold one's breath and survive in such thick mud.

But even such a practitioner couldn't cut into that person's body. Could it be that the person's energy and blood cultivation has reached the level of a master?

"No, if that's the case, he doesn't need to hide at all." Zhou Gongjin pondered, "I don't think anyone can break through the limit and cultivate Qi, blood and spirit at the same time. And even if this person really does this, and can still use Qi and blood If you have cultivated to the level of a master, then you don't have to hide."

"There are no grandmasters in the whole of Jianye. If he is a grandmaster, it will be difficult for anyone to intercept him wherever he goes."

"Looking at it this way, he is probably just a small master who is close to the realm of a master. Although he can withstand some swords, he is still afraid of the sharp weapons in the hands of other masters. Or...he is just using some It’s a sideways approach, disguising yourself as invulnerable.”

"Anyway, let's get you out first." Zhou Gongjin made a plan, beckoned to the people, and prepared to pull out the imperial guards who had exposed half of their upper body from the soil.

However, as soon as the few people pulled, they heard a scream of pain from the imperial guards. In desperation, Zhou Gongjin yelled "let go", and saw the upper body of the imperial guards fall back into the mud again.

"Something is wrong!" Zhou Gongjin looked solemnly, "This time, take it slow and bring the torch closer."

It wasn't until the crowd dragged him up again that they realized that the guard of the imperial guard had no human shape at all.

His chest was down, and his abdomen was bulging completely deformedly, like a bloated pregnant woman who was pregnant for ten months. It seemed that something was waking up inside, and the belly bulged slightly, showing its moving track.

It is precisely because of this that when everyone pulled him out just now, the imperial guards felt severe pain.

At this time, the guards of the Imperial Army also noticed the abnormality of his body, and said to Zhou Gongjin with a wry smile: "My lord, you don't need to save me, just give me a good time, I don't want to give birth to a monster like a woman."

Zhou Gongjin's eyes were complicated.

Qiao Feifan, who has superhuman medical skills, has actually researched how to deal with the medicine of the karmic moth Gu, so the imperial guards guarding the city in the palace rarely died of being infected with the Gu again.

It's just that the karma moth in the guard's body has basically formed, even medicine is useless, if the karma moth is taken out by force, his dry internal organs can no longer support him to live.

"You and your brothers, the palace will add another point of compensation." Zhou Gongjin could only comfort in this way.

The imperial guard nodded, with tears in his eyes: he reluctantly made a salute gesture with his hands: "I thank you on behalf of my old mother, wife and children... Please do it."

Zhou Gongjin stood up, and finally the long sword was slowly spit out from the sheath. The cold light was like a mouthpiece in winter, which made people feel cold.

With just a light stab, the guard's smile froze in the flames, and the beating heart also began to stop beating under the sword.

"You have been loyal." Zhou Gongjin closed his eyes for him.

But before he could heave a sigh of relief, a hissing sound suddenly sounded in the darkness, and as the soil under Zhou Gongjin's feet churned, a black shadow broke through the ground and shot straight at Zhou Gongjin's face like an arrow from the string!

"grown ups!"

Zhou Gongjin's pupils shrank slightly, and the energy and blood in his meridians roared like a dragon silently. Although he has hardly fought with anyone in the past few years, he is still a little grandmaster after all!

His right leg was slightly pushed back, and the distance of one step had already given him a lot of space. With a slight push of his right index finger, the edge of the long sword revealed three inches.

It is not necessary to fully unsheath the long sword, it only needs to be placed horizontally in front of the body, and it is enough to cut jade and stone.

However, to his surprise, when the black shadow hit his blade, it was not the sound of flesh being cut, but a crisp sound like gold and iron intertwined.

Not only that, but the force of the impact was surprisingly large, almost forcing Zhou Gongjin to take a step back.

With a cold snort, Zhou Gongjin didn't hide his clumsiness anymore, and the surging energy and blood poured into his legs, making his legs almost as if cast iron, and the soles of his feet sank an inch directly.

"Don't do it!" He stopped the secret agent of the school office, and fought the black shadow himself. After a few snaps of his fingers, he heard three ding ding ding sounds, and a long sword like a rainbow was spit out from the scabbard.

Seemingly finding that he couldn't get a bargain, the black shadow also became timid. After hissing, he turned his head and started to run away.

However, Zhou Gongjin's speed was even faster, only to hear him yell, the long sword came out of his hand, drew a bright light, and directly nailed the black shadow to the ground!

Several people approached it, only to find that it was a distinctive karma moth. Although it was not big in stature, its ugly shape had already begun to be seen. Whether it was the pair of compound eyes or the sharp mouthparts, it was daunting. .

There is a single horn growing on the top of Ye Moth's head, and the hard carapace on the back is cracked inch by inch, obviously Zhou Gongjin's handwriting.

Although the body has been pierced by the long sword, it still hasn't died. I don't know if it is shaking because of the pain, and the dark green, smelly and sticky blood is constantly flowing.

Zhou Gongjin observed carefully for a moment, then frowned: "The strength of this karma moth is already stronger than that of ordinary unicorn karma moths."

Could it be that the karma moth hatched from the practitioner's body is stronger than the original karma moth?

This is not good news.

It's just that before he could think more, he saw the abdomen of this karma moth tremble suddenly, and a sharp sound echoed in the cave...

Chapter 821 Calling

The long and narrow cave was already closed, but now there was a wave of sound. The sharp sound was like an awl piercing everyone's eardrums, and people couldn't help but cover their ears.

"What the hell is this thing called?" a school secret agent couldn't help cursing.

Zhou Gongjin also felt uncomfortable because of the sharp voice, as if remembering something, her pupils shrank suddenly, she reached out and snatched a long knife from Yin Lu's hand beside her, and lowered it without hesitation!

With a "poof", the power of the little master's realm almost broke through the carapace without any hindrance, and ruthlessly penetrated into the abdomen of Ye Moth, directly cutting off the sharp voice in Ye Moth's body.

Dark green stinky blood spewed out like a fountain. Finally, the newborn unicorn moth could no longer maintain the vibration of its abdomen, and its limbs curled up into a ball and gradually died.

It's just that Zhou Gongjin's reaction seems to be a step slower!

Although the chirping of the karma moth only lasted for a short moment, everyone heard the same sharp sound coming from the depths of the cave.

One, two, three... even more, it seems that there are countless karma moths approaching here in the darkness!

"He's reporting a message." Looking at his long knife that was deeply pierced into the ground, Yin Lu suddenly realized.

"Quick, get out first!" Zhou Gongjin's complexion changed, and he immediately let out a cry.

He didn't want to be surrounded by a group of moths in this kind of place, and then be buried in the mud like a carrot for several hours, and finally give birth to such a disgusting little monster.

Not to mention being too useless, it would even damage his appearance.

The karma moth came much faster than they thought, the sound was just a vanguard, and there was already a faint blue light flashing in the depths of the cave.

The unicorn of a karma moth.

Zhou Gongjin cursed, and led the people to flee all the way to the way they came from. His embarrassed appearance didn't look like the chief officer of the school affairs office at all, but rather like a defeated soldier who had just fled from the front line.

The pace of the cultivator running with all his strength is very fast. Even if everyone has walked in the cave for so long, it only takes half a cup of tea to go out, and it seems that the light can be seen from a distance.

But before Zhou Gongjin could heave a sigh of relief, he heard a bang, and a piece of darkness covered the sky as if covering the sun, and the cries of karma kept echoing in his ears.

Everyone stared at the front in shock, countless black soil and gravel rolled and fell, and the cave suddenly fell down like this!

"Damn it!" Zhou Gongjin saw with his own eyes that his retreat was cut off, and his heart suddenly throbbed.

Facing the karma moth that fell together with the black soil gravel, he pushed one person away, and his right hand was already on the hilt of his sword.

As soon as the sword edge was shown, it had already restrained. In just one breath, Zhou Gongjin made six consecutive sword strikes, each time breaking through the carapace and biting deeply into the flesh.

The unicorn moth uttered a shrill cry, and wanted to use its own body to hold Zhou Gongjin down, but it couldn't get any advantage from a little master master, and it became a broken corpse in an instant.

Zhou Gongjin wiped the sword in the crook of his arm, let out a little breath, and put the sword back into its sheath.

"My lord, the retreat has been cut off, if we dig..."

Needless to say, Zhou Gongjin also knew that it was too late to dig out a road, so she simply changed the direction: "Take another road."

"Which one?"

"Which way is Deng Li going!" Zhou Gongjin gritted his teeth.

The idea in his heart is very simple, anyway, whichever way to go is to go, it doesn't matter which one he chooses.

Besides, some people have been to this road anyway, although they don't know whether Deng Li is alive or dead, but his cultivation base is not weak, so he must have killed some karmic moths more or less, right?

While speaking, Ye Mo's voice got closer. These beasts seemed to feel that these humans had killed their new life, and became more irritable, chasing after them like crazy.

Of course, the spies of the school affairs office are not lambs to be slaughtered. On the contrary, they are all strong and vigorous, with long knives in hand, just like farmers harvesting wheat, skillfully and quickly killing a few leading moths. on the spot.

The remaining Ye Mo felt that this group of people was not easy to mess with, and flinched slightly, only to find that this group of people had started to flee again.

The whole cave was filled with the stench of karma. Zhou Gongjin felt the heat coming from his body, and the darkness and coldness in front of him seemed no longer unbearable.

The light of the torches continued to extend forward, as if continuously hatching roads under the feet.

Everyone followed closely behind, keeping a distance of about seven steps from each other, so as to ensure space for maneuvering and to facilitate mutual response.

Sure enough, their strict discipline and coordination gave them rich rewards. After turning a corner, there was a slightly wider road in front of them, which connected three forks. In one of the forks, more than a dozen karma moths were rushing out. .

Zhou Gongjin was the first to take the lead, and when the long sword was unsheathed, it was smooth and smooth, and directly cut off the horn on the head of a unicorn moth.

The spies from the school affairs office maintained their formation, forming a group of three, and the strength of each group was not weaker than that of the little master Zhou Gongjin.

In a short period of more than a dozen breaths, more than a dozen karma moths had died one after another, and Yin Lu suddenly called out: "My lord, there seems to be a mark left by Deng Li here!"

Zhou Gongjin looked at the position Yin Lu was pointing at. Although the light of the fire was dim, he could still see the emblem of the Imperial Army engraved on the wall of the cave, and a broken piece of silver was deliberately inlaid in the middle.

This road seemed a bit narrow, but Zhou Gongjin didn't have time to think about it, so he waved his hands to make people think about that road first, and several archers from the school office took the initiative to turn their arrows back to suppress Fang Yemo's pursuit, fighting for more time.

But this kind of suppression didn't last long. After several of the moths were forced to retreat, immediately two of them were extraordinarily strong, and even their shells had a metallic luster, rushing out.

The practitioner's arrows shot at them, but they couldn't break through the carapace, and only made a "ding ding" sound.

"Let's go! Let's all go!" Zhou Gongjin looked back, and everyone retreated into the narrower cave.

The mark left by Deng Li became their only direction.

Although no one knew whether Deng Li, who was walking alone, was still a living person who could eat and sleep, or a "crop" buried in the soil with a big belly.

"This narrow road is like a fish in a fishing basket." Zhou Gongjin cursed with a bad feeling.

But the narrowness also has the advantage of being narrow. The karma moths at the rear couldn't enter, so they kept angrily neighing and digging at the entrance of the cave. Two of the extraordinarily strong unicorned karma moths even tore apart a low-level karma moth who dared to offend them because of their anger.

"Could Deng Li be forced into this road like us?" Yin Lu asked as he walked.

How could Zhou Gongjin guess it? He is now full of thoughts on how to solve the problem in front of him—the exit has collapsed, so he can only see if there are other exits, or continue to explore the secrets of Yemo.

If it's the latter, then the invulnerable man in black mentioned by the imperial guards is obviously the key.

No matter what he was planning in the dark, even if he risked his life, he had to keep Jianye.

"I don't know if I die, will the girl be a widow for me or will she weep for a while and then get married..."

In his heart, Zhou Gongjin somewhat selfishly hoped that she would never marry for his own sake, but at the same time he somewhat contradictoryly hoped that the girl would not feel sad because of him. The two emotions were intertwined, but the road ahead suddenly became clear.

The narrow road is not long, but the road that joins it is so spacious, everyone raised their torches to observe, the entire cave is at least two feet high, and it is not a problem for three or four people to walk side by side.

"Throw the Fire Thunder in!"

The crisis of Ye Moth has not been resolved, but Zhou Gongjin and others carried a few fire mines made of fierce kerosene in bamboo tubes, with a cloth belt sandwiched in the middle, which can be easily ignited with a torch.

Several people threw the fire and thunder into the narrow cave. At the moment of the explosion, a deafening echo almost stopped everyone's heart, and the billowing smoke was very choking.

The narrow road is like a closed mouth, swallowing the karma moths that have just dug up some soil and started to drill into the cave.

Chapter 822 Black Robe

Everything returned to tranquility, at least for the time being, they didn't hear the voices of other karma moths. Although everyone knew that this situation would not last long, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where's the compass?" Zhou Gongjin held up the torch, squinted his eyes and looked around, not knowing where he was at all.

Yin Lu took out the compass from his arms again, and shook his head: "It's even more chaotic than before, it just keeps turning, it's a complete mess."

Although there is a way, there is no direction.

"What kind of shit is this!" Zhou Gongjin couldn't help but punched the wall full of earthy smell, causing countless black soil to slide down, some of which fluttered and landed on the back of his feet.
