who knows

This force was so strong that Zhong Liqing was staggered and unsteady, and she couldn't help but fell into her arms.

"Hmm..." With a muffled snort, the tips of her noses were knocked together. Although it was warm and soft jade, it still made her feel sour, and her eyes turned red—subconsciously, she wanted to rub the tip of her nose to ease the pain that hadn't faded away. Feeling numb, he suddenly realized where it was, and couldn't help but blushed, but he was more angry than shy.

She scolded "shameless" in her heart, was about to raise her head and stare at her, and then broke away from her embrace - but only for a moment, she felt something strange: a strong wind hit from behind, as if aiming at her. The back of her heart hit her hard, and the cold air locked on her made her feel deeply that the other party intended to penetrate her chest and snatch her heart away...

The sneak attack came so swiftly and from such a tricky angle, she was terrified, she had no choice but to believe that this witch who she had just defined as a plotter, pulled her into her arms freely , turned around and jumped, leading her to escape to the other side.

I only heard the sharp sound of "click" on the stone wall. The force was so great that a pit the size of a fist was carved out of the stone wall!

Barely dodging the sneak attack, Zhong Liqing steadied her figure, and quickly looked back—the one that pierced through the stone wall just now was actually a long and thin tongue—if Yaoyao hadn't made a move, she might have been killed by now. It pierced through the chest.

The best plan was just to get away with his life at the cost of losing half of his shoulder, but in this underground palace with many institutions, once he suffered such a serious injury, his life might be in danger.

You must know that the thickness of the stone wall is at least half a foot, and the hardness of this stone wall is definitely not something that can be broken by ordinary magic tools——Zhong Liqing's Jue Chi Sword, after injecting spiritual power, can at most A white mark was left on it, which shows how amazing the strength of the sneak attacker is - just a single tongue has such power, if it is a whole attack, how terrible is it?

Protecting Jue Chi Sword by her side, Zhong Liqing began to worry.

The front end of the tongue was covered with spikes and the tongue coating was rough. It was ejected from the other side of the stone wall, and the whole picture could not be seen. Zhong Liqing couldn't recognize what kind of monster it was, so Yaoyao said with a disgusted expression: "There is something in the Western Wilderness." Monster, humanoid, with sharp claws, long tongue with thorns, sucking human brains, it is called Aoyin."

——It turned out to be the fierce beast Ao Yin.

Zhong Liqing has seen relevant records in the notebook left by A Niang: This kind of fierce beast is extremely rare, and the degree of ferocity is directly proportional to its rarity. It was actually raised in this underground palace. It can be seen that the builder of this underground palace, It is by no means ordinary, and the purpose of this underground palace is by no means simple.

It is said to be feeding, but it is more like suppression.

Although it is locked in another layer of stone wall, it has carved a small hole in this stone wall for many years to pass through with its tongue, and it can sneak attack freely with only this small hole; presumably before The bloody smell is also left behind by the humans it attacked.

There is a line of small characters behind the letter, which seems to be the author Cen Yi's remarks, saying that this Ao Yin's weakness is fire.

Zhong Liqing regained her composure, suppressed the fear caused by the bloody smell and evil aura, drew out the Juechi sword, injected it with the spiritual power of the fire element, and when Aoyin attacked her again, she threw a backhand The sword cut towards the tip of the tongue.

When the tongue was chopped off, the wrist sank, and it made a dull sound as if hitting the hardest metal. Fortunately, this Aoyinguo was really as fearful of fire as it was recorded, because the blade of the Juechi sword was wrapped The spiritual power of the fire element burned the tip of the tongue until it sizzled, and accompanied by a miserable howl, the smell of burnt meat came, which was very pungent.

The tongue that was ejected for a sneak attack hastily retracted.

After a successful blow, Zhong Liqing immediately withdrew her sword and jumped into the safe atmosphere.

The treasure map of this underground palace is said to have been handed down a hundred years ago, so this Aoyin was imprisoned in this underground palace at least 100 years ago, at least it lived to be a hundred years old... That is a hundred years of cultivation. Ao Yin, with Zhong Liqing, a cultivator at the golden core stage, and Yaoyao, who is in good and bad states, even if he was lucky enough to hurt it while it was only sticking out the tip of its tongue and its body had not yet appeared, but it still resisted head-on. The odds are slim.

They have no other option but to flee.

The two looked at each other, they both understood each other's meaning, they took steps towards the other side at the same time, when they heard a sharp roar behind them, their scorched long tongues still penetrated into the other side through the gap in the stone wall. On one side, the sound of slapping the ground crackled, as if the prey that was about to get it flew away, and even more annoyed that the bold prey hurt its tongue—although there was no way to get in over the wall, but it tried From the gap he dug, he waved his tongue back and forth, waiting for an opportunity to hit Zhong Liqing and the two of them.

However, although its tongue is as hard as an iron whip, its length is always limited, and it has been burned by flames, so it is no longer as sensitive as before, and it missed the best time; after they ran far enough, they naturally left Its attack range has been reduced, so it can no longer attack two people.

Watching the two of them running farther and farther, Ao Yin refused to let it go, and heard it hitting the other side of the stone wall continuously, and seemed to be mad to break through the stone wall——I didn’t know that Ao Yin Because it has been a long time since I have eaten, so violent, but so energetic.

I'm afraid that just now I suddenly tasted the flesh and blood of human beings, tasted the marrow and tasted it, and when I was greedy, I couldn't care about anything else.

In this underground palace, if you get entangled by it, you won't be able to escape... Thinking of this, Zhong Liqing couldn't help but slapped a few talismans on her leg, and glanced at Yao who was walking with her. Yao, a dark light flashed in her eyes, she flicked her fingertips, thought for a moment, and finally gave her a few shots.

The latter glanced at her, and chuckled lightly, with a playful laugh - Zhong Liqing was taken aback for a moment, thinking that the other party saw her reluctance, pursed his lips, and turned his head to avoid her gaze.

Running in a panic, I don't know how far they ran, and when both of them were exhausted, they could no longer feel Ao Yin's aura and that shocking fear.

The long corridor was very quiet, so quiet that only the sound of each other's intense heartbeats and the sound of panting one after another could be heard.

However, amidst the extreme silence, Zhong Liqing suddenly noticed something unusual—without turning his face away, he was startled by the thick and dizzying bloody smell at the corner, his back froze, and his eyes glanced at Yaoyao who had the same dignified expression, Slowly turned to the place where the smell of blood emanated again.

They happened to have come to a corner here, accompanied by a strong smell of blood, it seemed that they could still see dark blood-soaked pieces of torn clothes and a severed limb... The severed limb seemed to twitch.

Zhong Liqing's eyes widened, thinking she was dazzled, staring at the stump, but was shocked to find that the stump disappeared from where it was, as if it had been snatched away by something.

Zhong Liqing's heart froze, but her brain calmed down in an instant, she narrowed her eyes and poked out her consciousness, and felt the sinister coercion that she ignored besides the bloody aura and demonic aura - it was a kind of pressure that made people feel as if the heart had been crushed. The oppressive feeling of grasping is even worse than the strangeness brought by Ao Yin.

She thought it was just because of the sequelae of the blood curse that Yaoyao cast on her just now, coupled with the palpitations of escaping from Ao Yin's hand...Now that she thinks about it, maybe it's not that simple.

No wonder Ao Yin didn't pursue him any more - if she guessed correctly, this place might have already entered the territory of another ferocious beast.

Holding her breath, she carefully looked at Yaoyao, only to see that although she had a smile on her face, there was a trace of seriousness in her eyes. Also find it difficult to deal with the situation.

Zhong Liqing held the Jue Chi sword in her hand, glanced at Yaoyao, circulated her spiritual power all over her body, and slowly stepped forward. At the same time, she revealed her consciousness, and suddenly felt a vicious aura rushing towards her—— He paused, but stood in the same place without retreating, and even with that sense of consciousness, he firmly held on and did not retreat.

As expected, the aura didn't continue to rush out, but quickly retracted after roaring. In her eyes, it seemed a bit more bluffing.

Zhong Liqing finally affirmed her guess: there must be some reason why the monster lurking around the corner just pretended to scare them away, but did not attack them directly... Otherwise, when they just stepped into its territory, , this monster should jump out and tear them to pieces.

Of course, it doesn't rule out that it, like Ao Yin, is suppressed or restrained, unable to kill them as it pleases, and needs to lure them closer... But this also made Zhong Liqing a little more courageous.

Glancing at Yaoyao who was smiling coquettishly with her, Zhong Liqing cursed secretly, but still bit the bullet, mustered up the courage, took a few steps forward with the Jue Chi sword, walked around the corner vigilantly, and was ready to run away at any time Their preparations——as far as they could see, there were large bloodstains, stumped limbs all over the place, and a monster baring its teeth fiercely at them.

...he was seriously injured.

Looking at the blood flowing all over the ground under its belly, as well as its severed leg, it is conceivable that its contribution is indispensable to this mess.

Seeing that these two humans approached regardless of the warning, the monster whimpered twice in its throat, and suddenly let out a shrill sound like a baby crying, which made people's eardrums tremble, their minds fainted, and they almost fainted .

Fortunately, Zhong Liqing's spiritual sense was far more tenacious than ordinary monks, while Yaoyao was completely indifferent to the sonic attack. After the monster screamed, it seemed that it had exhausted all its strength, lying in a corner dying, holding only a pair of copper Bell-like eyes glared at the two of them fiercely.

Zhong Liqing rubbed her temples. Although her face was a little pale, she didn't suffer any serious injuries. She still had the heart to look at the monster carefully from head to toe—it had a ferocious face that seemed human but not human. The fangs are dense, still stained with flesh and blood, the body is like a goat, but it has the thick and powerful limbs of a tiger and leopard, and those eyes are bottomless, like two balls of glass crystal balls imprisoning fireflies. With a sharp and sharp awn, it is very frightening.

Zhong Liqing immediately recognized this monster as the rumored owl—the roe owl.

This ferocious beast is known for its greediness and appetite for food. It is simply a copy of Gluttony. The only difference is that this ferocious beast likes to eat babies, and its cry is like that of a baby. It is a kind of sonic attack that can confuse people's minds.

If it hadn't been seriously injured, causing its strength to drop drastically, Zhong Liqing and the two of them would be in trouble.

After all, it was one of the most prestigious beasts. Even though it was seriously injured, this roe owl was still difficult to deal with.

Zhong Liqing kept a certain distance from it, and then fired three earth thorns and three rockets at it.

With a flick of its tail, it easily pulled back the two soil thorns, and the other pierced it towards his buttocks—the soil thorns seemed to have hit an extremely hard stone wall, without any trace. It didn't hurt it, but was shattered by the force of the countershock.

Tilting her head to avoid the two soil thorns that were approaching the door, Zhong Liqing looked at the roe owl who shook her head triumphantly, as if laughing at her, but curled her lips, as if she was not angry at all—this fierce Although the beast has strong skin and thick flesh, and is not afraid of the earth thorns, Zhong Liqing has already discovered that it, like Ao Yin, is afraid of fire.

Because of the three rockets she fired at the same time, it didn't dare to meet it, but swiftly turned its body to dodge.

Zhong Liqing even noticed that its abdomen, which was still bleeding profusely, was already on the mend of healing—the roe owl is addicted to food, and its survival depends on ingesting fresh flesh and blood. The more it gets, the stronger it is. place.

Looking at its injuries, she couldn't help guessing: the people who fought the roe owl before them may not have high cultivation levels, but there must be a lot of people, otherwise they wouldn't have left so many bloodstains and stumps, and they wouldn't have left so many bloodstains and stumps. At the same time, it also gave it a chance to recover and even go further.

The stump they saw just now had been swallowed by it long ago, and they can still hear the creaking sound when it chews things. He will be at a disadvantage - not to mention running away, if he is not careful, he may also be buried in the beast's mouth and become its food.

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Zhong Liqing had an idea.

——Doesn’t this monster love to eat?

Then let it eat its fill.

The corner of Zhong Liqing's mouth twitched, and suddenly he took out the scale-faced corpses stored in the courtyard of Yuandu from the Qiankun bag, and used the Juechi sword to pick out some of the scale-faced corpses in the jar of human ointment, and then Throw it in the air.

The green gleam in the roe owl's eyes, really ignored the injury, and immediately rushed towards the scaly corpse.

Stained with the bloody smell of human ointment, this large piece of flesh is more attractive to the roe owl than a thousand times a hundred times.

Is greed not only the original sin of human beings?

Any greedy creature will pay the price for this - and this moment is exactly what Zhong Liqing wants.

With a pinch of her fingertips, five flames the size of soybeans jumped out of her fingertips when she flipped her five fingers, and under her repeated flicks, they flew towards the big mouth of the roe owl that was opened to the limit-at this time, there was only a stick in her eyes. The scaly surface smelled of human ointment, so naturally it wouldn't care about such a tiny bit of sparks. Fighting the insignificant pain, the roe owl bit the prey recklessly, chewing "creakingly", while looking at Zhongli Qing, seems to be mocking, more like provoking.

"Is it delicious?" Asked softly, Zhong Liqing glanced at Yaoyao who looked strange, ignored her, just flicked the Juechi sword to shake off the blood stained on it, and took a few steps back.

The roe owl thought that Zhong Liqing was afraid of him, and opened his mouth to swallow the scales, and then went to deal with this daring human, but unexpectedly, a sudden change suddenly spewed out a flame from its mouth, and then, it There was a raging fire in his mouth, and it was the scales that burned inexplicably.

——The roe owl never imagined that before the scales died, she had swallowed several koi, and the koi buried a lot of fish food she fed, all of which were made of fire tribulus powder and sugar mustard vine seeds The kneaded small particles burn instantly when exposed to fire and are inextinguishable when exposed to water, but they are extremely useful gunpowder.

The roe owl is afraid of fire, and its mouth is the softest part of its body. Unsuspecting, the flame burned through its entire throat and esophagus.I could hear it howling heart-piercingly, rolling on the ground, the intermittent crying of a baby for a while, and the hoarse and low howling of a wild beast for a while, and the wound on its abdomen burst open in its frenzied struggle. It looked very miserable.

But Zhong Liqing still didn't think it was enough, taking advantage of the fact that it had caught the trick for a while, was in extreme pain, and was unable to fight back, she swooped towards it with the Juechi sword in her hand, and panic appeared in those bright green eyes. When he was not reconciled, he stabbed the Juechi sword into its back fiercely, injected [-]% of his spiritual power into the sword, and then vigorously turned the hilt of the sword, stirring it viciously, stirring all its internal organs and spine. It was broken.

There was another extremely shrill scream, and the roe owl suddenly fell to the side, its limbs twitched, scorched yellow saliva and black blood dripped from its mouth, the viciousness faded from its eyes, and the faint green eyeballs kept twitching. Turning around, some moistness came out, as if praying.

Accompanied by it whimpering like a baby crying, if it wasn't for its hideous appearance, even knowing that it is a ferocious beast that eats people for a living, I'm afraid it would teach people to feel a little bit of compassion.

Zhong Liqing couldn't help but think of that Danxiu whom she met in Yuandu by chance - if it was that girl, she would have felt pity for her and prayed for her, right?

It's a pity that Zhong Liqing has never been a soft-hearted girl - the only few times, it's just because the other party never threatened her.

But this ferocious beast, even though it was so weak, still made her dare not take it lightly.

The best way is to kill it completely, without giving it a chance to come back.

Slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air, the Jue Chi sword pulled away from the back of the roe owl's heart, and mercilessly chopped off its huge head.

What is repaying hatred with virtue?What kind of compassion?

For Zhong Liqing, he only believes in one principle - kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

There was a sudden heat on Zhong Liqing's face, and the loneliness and ruthlessness on Zhong Liqing's body at that moment had not subsided. She opened her eyes murderously, but it was Yaoyao who was gently wiping away the blood on her cheek with her fingertips. She was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, leaned close to her ear and said softly, "I like your expression just now...it's beautiful."

Zhong Liqing froze, covered her ears that seemed to be burning, and pushed her away, only to feel that the cold and solemn aura that killed the beast just now was gone.
