Zifeng stared at Fang Zheng's bronze sword with a complicated expression.

"Use my sword to kill me?"

"Exactly!"

Zifeng smiled instead of anger, he had long wanted to kill Fang Zheng to vent his anger, and no longer entangled that slaves should make the best use of everything instead of killing and wasting.He could finally kill this person without any scruples, completely bury his voice, and eliminate those existences that had shaken his heart.

He once released the rare tenderness in his heart to this person, and thought he could get warmth from it.

In the end, always harden your heart.

There should be no softness in the heart - more than one teacher has taught Zifeng this way.

Fang Zheng took the round path of Tai Chi sword.He has seen Zifeng's skills, Zifeng's speed and strength are too terrifying, he can't fight recklessly if he wants to restrain himself, but he can't fight hard, but in Tai Chi, "weakness fights powerfully" and "slow hands let the hands be fast". , is the only way to restrain it.Fang Zheng's moves were precise and cunning, and he specially greeted the flaws that Qiaoli had opened up.

Zifeng had never seen this kind of heresy, but he knew it was borrowing power.Originally, Zifeng had no problem dealing with it alone.But at this moment, others also rushed up, surrounded him from all directions and poked weapons at him.If Zifeng wanted to catch those many stone axes, hammers and spears, he had to swing them away with a hard force, but that was restrained by Fang Zheng's soft force.

Zifeng leaped into the air away from Fang Zheng, swung the big ax in the opposite direction and made a half-arc cut, cutting the waists of several female hunters in that direction.The heat of the blood gushing out made those people look pale.Suddenly, Fang Zheng's heart skipped a beat, thinking of the snake corpses he saw that day.Although I haven't seen how Zifeng chops the horns or kills snakes, this person's body is flexible and must be restrained.

"Stop him!" Fang Zheng rushed over, but after being cut by Zifeng, the untrained female hunters nearby seemed to be frightened out of their wits by the real blood, and stood blankly like chickens to be slaughtered.Others screamed and tried to flee, and the encirclement was disrupted.

Fang Zheng secretly scolded these tribal women that they are really useless, and they really can't do it without training.Zifeng is like a lion surrounded by goats.After just a few bites, the goat will not dare to push it with its horns.However, the narrow terrain here cannot escape, and everyone cannot escape.

The corpses of the female hunters whose waists were cut off by Zifeng were kicked into the burial pit by him while they were in the air. The bottom of the burial pit was covered with sand. After the blood seeped into the soil, plant-like roots sprouted from the inside. , There are strings of worms hanging on the roots like fruit, making it difficult to tell whether it is a plant or an animal for a while.

The fibrous roots entangled the fresh corpse, and the worms on the tentacles gradually covered the surface of the corpse and began to suck blood.After a while, the worms turned dark red, and sent blood to the roots, making the roots thicker as if they were swollen.Looking carefully, there are white bones and minced flesh between the roots of the fibrous roots, and the corpses of the former war slaves have not yet decomposed.

Below the huge and thickened roots, some complex wooden structures can be seen faintly. As the roots become thicker and tighter, a bottomless darkness is faintly revealed below.It is estimated that this is the tip of the black vein iceberg.

Fang Zheng rushed forward and slashed Zifeng's back with a sword. Zifeng turned around and dodged. He turned around to deal with Fang Zheng, and it was too late to kill others.Taking this opportunity, Fang Zheng shouted to the surroundings: "Shoot him in the back!"

With a look of pediatric disdain on Zifeng's face, he roared and rushed up to hold Fang Zheng's long sword, his upper body leaning down, baring his teeth; "You want to kill me?"

The force was so great that Fang Zheng's feet were numb, and he tried his best to stop.Zifeng's breath rushed towards his face, and the heat that was close at hand suddenly brought back his not-so-good memories.The entangled body temperature under the stone tablet, the two tight hugs in the dark... made him angry from embarrassment.

"I don't want to think about it all the time!" Fang Zheng roared, and suddenly pushed Zifeng out with all his strength.

Behind Zifeng there were several female hunters waiting for an opportunity to stab him. Tengmao, Manmao and Xuemao cleverly formed a triangle and attacked Zifeng's three vital points respectively.

Zifeng snorted coldly, and swung back impatiently, just as he was about to level them up, when a stone pelted him from afar, slowing his pace.The three women knew how to protect themselves even if they missed a hit, so they quickly retreated to recover.

The women who were far away picked up the stones and broken bones at hand and threw them here.

Ji Liu was still standing on the side high ground directing them to hit the direction, aiming at Zifeng not to hit Fang Zheng by mistake.

Zifeng suddenly smiled again, and turned to Fang Zheng, "You're working so hard just for these women?"

Although he was smiling, there was a fierce light in his eyes.

Fang Zheng wanted to fart, I don't want women.But it was very difficult for him to deal with Zifeng, he couldn't raise his voice and just stared back fiercely.Zifeng's eyes darkened, and his moves became more ferocious.

What Zifeng used was not martial arts, but martial arts. Every strike was a powerful, fierce and deadly attack trained to kill.

Fang Zheng consciously uses martial arts skills.Real martial arts are far less fancy than in novels. A set of layered moves is often the essence of anticipation and evasion.When it comes to damage, you still have to combine strength, weapons and speed.

The women disturbed Zifeng in a chaotic manner, and Fang Zheng reluctantly fought with Zifeng.

Elder Mingye and Elder Xuansi also helped to apply poison on the stones of those women, so that Zifeng would be restrained.

Another poisonous stone was thrown at him, and was picked up by Zifeng's big axe. With his other hand, he grabbed the stone spear stabbed by Teng Mao and others with his bare hand. The women's weapons were too blunt, and Zifeng could even crush stones. knife tip.

Fang Zheng thought that going on like this would definitely be defeated by Zifeng one by one.These women are not trained and cannot form effective cooperation at all.If there is a second person here who knows how to fight, plus using the terrain... Fang Zheng made a plan, and retreated while fighting, leading Zifeng to the direction of the first burial pit.

There was a sudden vibration in the cave.A few stones fell, not from the women.

Could it be that the fighting was too fierce, the mountain is not so fragile and easy to collapse, or is it that some mechanism was triggered?

Fang Zheng didn't want to be distracted, he had to be careful not to fall into the blood-sucking pit.The passage through the mountainside between No. [-] and No. [-] sacrificial pits was not wide, and his intention to attract people was very obvious, but Zifeng had to accept the move and was led away by the enemy.

Fang Zheng and Zifeng fought and led him to the side of No. [-] sacrificial pit.Fang Zheng could see the locked up sinner servant Niu raised his head, and his eyes rolled around under Maohuhu.The side of the wooden structure house surrounding him has been torn apart by Zifeng's big ax just now.

Fang Zheng rushed to the side of the wooden house, and suddenly cut off a chain on the servant's left hand with a bronze sword.

Puniu trembled all over, his feet and the other hand were still chained, but the next moment when Zifeng swung his weapon and came over to cut off his head, Puniu instinctively dodged and held the severed iron in his hand. The chain was thrown at Zifeng like a meteor hammer.

Fang Zheng took the opportunity to jump to the other side of the servant cow and cut off the iron chain on his right hand.Pu Niu's hands were freed, like a dormant mountain unfolding boldly, sending out an earth-shattering roar.

Servant Niu staggered to his feet. Although he had been imprisoned for many years, he was still extremely strong, and his powerful assassination skills became instinctive.He and Fang Zheng blocked Zifeng's way of coming and going, attacking from both sides.

Zifeng's face was livid, just now when Puniu provoked him, he didn't bother to kill him, but now the other party has become a difficult enemy.This is the best fighter of the descendants of Sanmiao ten years ago, and he once witnessed the tragic scene of his clansmen being bitten to death by Yu Yi's fierce beasts in front of them.Already hard as iron, fearless.

"Sinner! Why don't you die!" Zifeng said angrily. In fact, since the secret of Heimai was discovered, Puniu lost the purpose of being tortured. They could have killed him.But servant Niu was tortured four times and was chained again. In their eyes, it was no different from death, so they didn't care about him.He didn't bother to dirty his weapon, but now it has become a serious problem.

There were still two iron chains tied to the servant's feet, but Fang Zheng kept Zifeng in this area, and the other women rushed over, and continued to beat and slap Zifeng, itching to disturb Zifeng.

Pu Niu avoided every one of Zifeng's ultimate moves, his pronunciation was muddy and hoarse, his face was flat, and his ears were hole-shaped, so he could hear people talking. "No... Hey..."

Fang Zheng understood, he had been facing Tang Hai's spirit pivot for ten years, and Pu Niu didn't want to die, he was afraid that he would see Tang Hai in the world of ghosts after he died.Whether it was out of a feeling of hatred or guilt is unknown.Fang Zheng didn't want to care about it either, the only thing he could confirm was that this gave Pu Niu a strong will to survive, he was able to survive ten years of torture, and now he would never let him die easily at the hands of Zifeng.

The cave on the top of the mountain shook again, and the stone wall next to the first sacrificial pit began to peel off, revealing a huge platform above.It sank from above, and above it was a strange sight.

Fang Zheng saw that there was an animal on the platform that looked like a monkey, but was bigger than a monkey, with a white face and black cheeks.Fang Zheng recalled that this appearance should be the ape named "Sureness Beast" in "Shan Hai Jing".The hair is long, soft and smooth, with some colorful miscellaneous hairs in the white.There is also a small hook behind the tail.This kind of ape is described in the "Shan Hai Jing" as having a heart of benevolence.

Pu Niu also yelled at the old monkey a few times. Fang Zheng guessed that maybe the monkey was sent by soldiers from Yuyi to guard the tomb and was responsible for feeding Pu Niu, so Pu Niu never died.

Next to it is a golden leopard with brilliant fur, which is a circle bigger than a tiger.The head is white dough, the texture on the body is very light, and it looks like a leaf when you look closely.Leopards are divided into golden leopards, golden-lined leopards and mugwort leopards according to their textures. The moxa leaf leopard's pattern is usually hidden, and only when the blood circulation speeds up will reveal a faint leaf pattern. It is the most precious type, also known as 芳. "Guangzhi" said that before the leopard died, it would return to Shoutong Mountain, which was the hometown of its ancestors.

The leopard and the monkey, one on the left and the other on the right, are biting two long furry legs protruding from a huge blue mask.

The huge mask was pasted on the mountainside, exactly the same as what Fang Zheng saw outside the cave at the beginning. It was composed of larger blue bugs, each about the size of a palm.The worm clings tightly to the mask, as if it is absorbing something underneath and nourishing it.

The long legs protruding from the lips of the mask are dark blue, like the hairs on a tentacles of some kind of giant insect, or maybe a mouthpart or tentacles.The leopard bit the thing covered with blue fur, and the old monkey tightly grasped the dark antennae next to the fur leg, as if imprisoning the long leg of the insect so that it would not escape.

Fang Zheng suddenly realized that this leopard must be Zifeng's animal companion. It was lying in ambush in the mausoleum, but it did not come to help its master fight against the enemy. He dared to have another mission.

The furry thing couldn't help struggling, and the ash on the top of the cave in the mountain began to rustle again.At the same time, the vines in the sacrificial pit stretched even tighter, and the lower part was rolling faintly.

Zifeng was facing Zhan Fangzheng and Puniu. The golden leopard on the platform saw its owner in distress, and anxiously grabbed the cut-off leg with its two paws, let go of its front paws and turned half its head.Zifeng caught a glimpse of it and immediately shouted loudly at it: "Leave me alone! Hold on to it!"

In the few seconds when the golden leopard let go of its teeth, the long furry legs struggled violently and almost retracted into the mask. Fortunately, the leopard's claws blocked it, and the golden leopard quickly lowered its head and bit the giant leg to death, bit by bit Pull out the part that was retracted just now.

Fang Zheng always felt that the extent of the struggle of the weird giant leg in the mountain wall was consistent with the rhythm of the blood-sucking vines churning under the burial pit.But the hairy insect legs are on the side of the mountain, at least tens of meters away from the burial pit here. If the thing behind the mountain belly has been extended inside, it will be as big as the burial pit, connecting with these blood-colored long vines...

Fang Zheng was terrified suddenly, and the scene of those female hunters being pushed into the sacrificial pit was entangled by the vines and sucked by the worms on it, and the worms injected blood into the vines to make it swell and thicken. .

Perhaps those vines were not artificial mechanisms, but living creatures, the countless tentacles of an ultimate man-eating beast.It can suck blood, and usually hides in the belly of the mountain to sleep. Its breathing port is on the mask. When it is sleeping, it relies on the blue bugs to provide nutrition.And once it is poured with enough blood, it can wake up...

Fang Zheng was terrified, he was wrong, he thought the blood-sucking pit was a mechanism made by the Sanmiao people, but in fact...it might be a living giant.

The Sanmiao people put it here, sent it to guard the black veins, fed it with blood, and perhaps imprisoned it by the way.But "it" seems to have been reversely used by Zifeng and other Yuyi people.

With the blood of more than 2000 slaves, the behemoth in this abyss will not wake up.Zifeng's animal companion, the leopard, and the monkey grabbed its important tentacles. It was not yet fully awake, but it already had the strength to bump around. If it wasn't caught, the cave would collapse.

What exactly is "it"?Fang Zheng's heart tightened, it was as if an oversized insect was hiding in the stone wall, with only one tentacles protruding from the gap, the leopard and the old monkey held it tightly, preventing it from moving.

Fang Zheng thought of all kinds of "corpse" in "Shan Hai Jing", including Shebi corpse, Ganyu corpse, Jubi corpse, etc. It is said that the Yellow Emperor had a "Shebi corpse", also called "Shelong", who came from the wind. born.Experts and scholars have made countless speculations, guessing that it is a god, a dragon, a wizard, and a big Gu worm.

If it is true, maybe this is a super big "gu corpse".

Fang Zheng couldn't help but asked the servant Niu who was fighting fiercely, and said in a trembling voice: "You three Miao people...what the hell are you keeping guarding?"

Servant Niu's voice was muddy and hoarse, but it did not prevent Fang Zheng from understanding that sentence.

——"Blood rains in the sky, ice in summer, and green dragons are born in temples."

Qinglong was born in the temple.

It was difficult for Fang Zheng to associate the furry insect-leg tentacles and the tentacle-like vines churning in the burial pit with the word "Qinglong".

However, he immediately realized that the "dragon" in ancient times was an indeterminate concept. People of ethnic minority tribes put other animal characteristics on dragons, and different dragons appeared. , There are fish-like ones, not exactly long snakes with scales and claws.So it is reasonable for the Sanmiao people to imagine the giant worm as a dragon.

It's this worm...it's a little too big.If the two sacrificial pits are all its tentacles, the volume is close to that of a football field, and the deeper part is underground.

Fang Zheng was terrified, and he asked Zifeng loudly during the fight: "Why did you wake up this thing?"

Zifeng said coldly; "Its whole body is covered with iron armor, covering the black veins. Only by awakening and revealing the door of life can I really kill it. After killing this thing, it will loosen its claws and fall from the black veins. go down."

The mountain above Fang Zheng's head collapsed and was in danger, and the cave was getting hotter and hotter.Fang Zheng guessed that there was a volcanic magma hole nearby.

Was Zifeng's plan to use the nearby magma fire to ignite the black vein after killing the tiger?

It seems that the Yuyi people have dug a channel for the magma to come in.That can't be too close, so the drainage time should be certain, and it's almost here now.

This big worm hasn't sucked enough blood yet, it's only in the stage of ignorance and waking up, occasionally wobbling around.Zifeng's leopard and the old monkey fixed the worm's torso on the stone wall so seriously, which meant that the worm couldn't be allowed to deviate from the position of the sacrificial pit, probably because of its weak point of life gate.

Fang Zheng had a calculation in his mind. He tried to get rid of the fear, and his mind was spinning rapidly. No matter how great the threat of the sudden appearance of the terrifying animal was, Zifeng and himself had undoubtedly reached the stage of life and death, and the time to coax and cooperate had passed.The only plan for now is to defeat Zifeng as soon as possible.

After all, Pu Niu is from Sanmiao, so maybe there is some way to appease the giant worm.After killing Zifeng, we can make a long-term plan.

After thinking it over, Fang Zheng shouted to the women who were at a loss when they saw the war beast biting the tentacles, "Go on! There is only one enemy!"

The cave was getting hotter and hotter, but Zifeng couldn't separate himself to kill the giant worms that imprisoned the black veins, so he should be more anxious than them, and there would be loopholes if he was anxious.Fang Zheng stabilized his moves, each move made him calmer.

Fang Zheng could tell that Zifeng was a little panicked, as long as everyone insisted on cooperating well, they could win.
