Before Mingxian said that Jiang Lang's death was not his fault, could it be the hand of this monster?

But what about the Soul Eater?

At this time, the three of them didn't know that Long Shen and Tang Jing rushed to the suburbs, and they were having a dangerous fight with Mingxian Chengyuan. During the few seconds of watching the Winter Solstice, they really saw something strange.

The iron chain is rusty and has been around for a long time. It must not have been made in modern times. It must not have been a day or two that this monster was locked here. Last time, Tang Jing also said that a water monkey was cleared under Wangyue Lake. , If the monster in front of him is ferocious and the killing is too heavy, it is impossible not to be noticed by the Special Administration Bureau, either it appeared in the waters of Wangyue Lake after Tang Jing cleaned up the water monkey, or it was not it that killed Jiang Lang.

But the winter solstice quickly overturned the latter guess, because when the monster saw the three of them, it was murderous, and now it is completely treating Liu Qingbo and Huo Jie as mortal prey. His facial features were faintly dyed blue and black, with golden hair all over his body. I don't know if it had been soaked in water for a long time, and it also began to turn black in large areas.

Is this... a sign of being contaminated by demonic energy?

The monster's strength is very strong, a stone can scratch it a few scratches with one claw, not to mention the flesh and blood like Liu Qingbo and Huo Jie, what is even more terrifying is that the monster has such strength, but the speed is still very fast. Liu Huo and the others were stunned, panting, and many wounds soon appeared on their bodies.

He couldn't tell whether it was sweat or water that slipped from his head, and his vision was blocked. Liu Qingbo wiped his face while the monster was in the air for half a second, but suddenly found that the monster had turned into the winter solstice, and rushed towards him with a grin!

Liu Qingbo was taken aback, and Jian Shengsheng, who was about to stab the opponent's chest and abdomen, shifted a few inches and slid across his arm, but then a gust of wind hit him, and he felt severe pain on his face, and he felt blood on his hand.

"What the hell are you doing on the winter solstice!" Usually the baby's face was disfigured, and he immediately yelled.

On the winter solstice, seeing Liu Qingbo suddenly play abnormally and scolding his name at the monster, Huo Jie also looked a little dizzy and lost his fighting power. He felt wrong, and immediately took out two talismans from the waterproof bag and held it with one hand. Liu Qingbo's ankle ripped him off, and when the monster rushed down, he quickly threw out two talismans.

One is a pure heart talisman. He directly opened Liu Qingbo's mouth and stuffed the talisman paper into it, and then flicked it hard on the Yintang point between his eyebrows.

"Awake!"

The other is the Mingguang Talisman, and the target is naturally a monster. The talisman was silently recited in his mouth. The monster's eyebrows were suddenly burned by the fire of the Mingguang Talisman.

In order to pull Liu Qingbo away on the winter solstice, he had to take the monster's palm. At the moment, he only felt a piercing pain coming from his arm.

But he didn't care about anything else, and took out a pure heart talisman and squeezed it in the palm of his hand, and did the same to Huo Jie.

The two people's cheeks were bulging with the talisman paper stuffed into their mouths, and their expressions were awakened from a dream.

At this time, the monster hit the stone wall. It still remembered that it was frightened by the fire of the winter solstice. When it came over again, its eyes were golden and fierce, and it only aimed at the winter solstice. If the anger could be turned into reality, the winter solstice would have been torn to pieces by the monster. !

But from the moment just now, the winter solstice also discovered that the monster is not without weaknesses, it is afraid of fire!

Without further ado, he squeezed the talisman with one hand and the talisman with the other, and the talisman turned into a meteor and swept towards the monster.

Liu Qingbo and Huo Jie also recovered from the trance hallucinations. Seeing this, there is no need to say anything about the Winter Solstice. They already understand the situation.

Reversing the scene of being chased and beaten just now as if they were caught in an air bag, Liu Qingbo and Huo Jie immediately turned their backs and started chasing monsters in the cave.

Liu Qingbo only had the Hidden Xiujian, a magical weapon. Huo Jie's pair of fleshy palms were not inferior at all. Rao was a monster with steel and iron bones, and he was slapped with ten palms and eight palms on his chest, abdomen, back and neck. , howling again and again.

The light and shadow in the cave were messy, and the three figures almost turned into wind. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer bright light talismans on the winter solstice, they had to urge Liu Qingbo and the others to hurry up.

The monster also seemed to understand the words of the scattered people. Just when the last Mingguang Talisman of the Winter Solstice was thrown, it broke through Liu Qingbo's sword energy and Huo Jie's attack, and its body like Mount Tai descended from the sky and slammed into the Winter Solstice. In its eyes, the enemy who only "throws fire" suddenly pulled out a long sword from behind, and his body jumped by the protruding edges and corners of the stone next to him. When he opened his eyes, Liu Qingbo and Huo Jie took the opportunity to fly from behind, Yin Xiujian stabbed the monster's ear, and Huo Jie's palm slapped directly on the other side of the monster's head.

The monster dodged the sword of the winter solstice, but could not dodge the attacks of Liu Qingbo and Huo Jie. The blood spurted wildly, and the monster rolled wildly in the cave, causing huge waves in the deep pool between square inches.

The winter solstice shouted "go" and took Liu Huo and the two into the cave.

The three of them ran wildly and ran in the cave for almost half an hour before gradually leaving the monster's roar behind.

They couldn't even run, they all leaned against the wall, leaning over their knees and panting.

Liu Qingbo spit out the talisman paper in his mouth and said out of breath, "That thing looks like a monkey, is it a water monkey!"

Huo Jie shook his head and panted: "No, we killed a water monkey, it's not like this!"

Winter Solstice said: "I heard from the girl who witnessed Jiang Lang's death that she saw Jiang Lang talking and laughing in the air, calling the name of the girl he had a crush on, and pulling the monster's hand into the water. When you fought against the monster just now, , Aren't you almost fascinated by hallucinations, so it seems that the murderer who killed Jiang Lang should be it."

Huo Jie was puzzled: "But it doesn't make sense. Look at this iron chain. This monster has been underwater for a long time. Why didn't it happen two years ago and suddenly died? Did it kill people in other waters before?"

Liu Qingbo said: "If you can't figure it out, don't even think about it. Anyway, we have to find a way forward. By the way, let's see where this chain is connected. That thing is very revengeful. We have just injured it, and it will definitely hold revenge. , I might catch up after a while."

He asked the Winter Solstice: "How many of your talismans are left?"

In the past, for the convenience of getting into the water, the winter solstice brought a portable waterproof pouch wrapped around the waist. There were not many things that could be carried. Now I reached out and took out a few times, and finally took out a few warm babies.

Liu Qingbo, Huo Jie:  …

"You don't bring a few talismans, it's useless to bring this thing!"

Liu Qingbo's veins throbbed and he couldn't hold back his temper. He really couldn't show his boss face in front of outsiders.

The winter solstice looked innocent: "I brought all the talismans, and I ran out of them just now. Do you want warm babies? One per person is just to lighten my burden."

The corners of Huo Jie's mouth twitched, and he asked for a face-saving one, which he put on the clothes outside his belly.

Winter Solstice said: "That monster is quite afraid of fire, but this is under the lake, and the environment is very humid. Even if my Mingguang Talisman has not been used up, it is useless to rely on that little Talisman Fire. Let's find a way while walking."

The three of them rested for a while, and continued to follow the source of the iron chain, moving forward.

But the longer they walked, the more secretly they were scared, because Huo Jie was silently calculating their time and distance while walking. The cultivators were walking fast, and they walked for another hour, and the cave was still invisible. At the end, the chains are still there.

If the cave was formed naturally, such a long iron chain was completely beyond their imagination.

With each step forward, there are more questions.

In order to save their energy, they didn't speak. Except for footsteps and breathing, there were occasional drops of water in the cave, so when the sound of the chain pulling on the ground came, everyone's nerves were tense.

"The monster is catching up!" Liu Qingbo said.

Huo Jie said in a hurried tone, "Go, go!"

Needless to say, the other two quickened their pace.

The movement of the chains grew louder and louder, and they all started to run.

The monster's strength is so great that a pair of sharp claws can cut through any hard object in the world. It's not a problem if they want to kill a few of them. Although they were lucky enough to hurt it just now, they are not sure that they will succeed the second time.

The monsters were very fast. They had already walked for more than an hour on the Winter Solstice, and they were caught up within a few minutes. The strong wind roared behind them, carrying a strong fishy smell and murderous aura, rushing towards them. In an instant, a huge sound of ghost crying and wolf howling was created in the cave!

They were forced to turn around to meet the enemy, and the three faced the monster.

When Huo Jie was studying art in the master's school, his palms were tempered in ice, snow and iron sand, and even stones could be shattered. He fell backwards, knocked his head on a stone, and his head bleeds all of a sudden. The new injury added to the old one, and Huo Jie couldn't get up for a while.

The monster roared, and his right claws grabbed the sword handed by Liu Qingbo, letting the sword light entangle his hairy wrists, but his eyes were fixed on the Winter Solstice. bite down.

It obviously remembers the winter solstice. Except for the vital parts of the monster's body, a pair of long arms cannot penetrate. The Yin Xiujian and the Changshoujian can't help it for a while. No way, could only watch the opponent's huge head rush towards him with lightning speed, and the bloody mouth exhaled a stench, and couldn't wait to swallow the prey into the belly.

At the critical moment, the winter solstice was in a hurry, and he took out a handful of things from his pocket and threw it into the monster's open mouth. The monster let out a roar and stepped back. The winter solstice and Liu Qingbo took the opportunity to grab Huo Jie and move forward. flee.

The monster covered its mouth and wailed, turned and ran wildly in the opposite direction.

The three were finally able to catch their breath.

Liu Qingbo was still out of breath and couldn't help but ask, "What did you just put in its mouth?"

Winter Solstice: "Warm baby!"

Liu Qingbo: ? ?

Before he thought that the winter solstice was playing with him, the winter solstice took the initiative to solve his doubts.

"Isn't the warm baby filled with iron and activated carbon materials, which will automatically oxidize and generate heat when it encounters air. That monster must be afraid of fire and heat. You don't need to leave a warm baby just now. I'm bored and use my hands. There is a hole in the top, and it can be regarded as a mistake!"

When Liu Qingbo heard him say, "I was bored so I dug a hole in it with my hand", his eyes were about to roll to the sky.

But if there wasn't such a boring winter solstice, it is estimated that they would have lost their troops by now.

"Who the hell locked this piece of shit underwater? He had the ability to lock it in the first place, so why didn't he just kill it!" Liu Qingbo was annoyed, "I don't think this Mingxian has a good heart, otherwise why would he say half of it and hide half of it? , don't tell me directly how dangerous underwater is!"

Several people were injured just now, although it was not serious, but after swimming in the water for so long, fighting and running, their physical strength has long been exhausted. After speaking, only Liu Qingbo had the strength to scold Mingxian and the person who locked the monster at the time.

I don't know how long they walked. The legs of the three of them gradually became numb. Huo Jie also recovered a little and insisted on walking by himself, but their physical strength had reached the limit. After the last bit of poor power was exhausted, he completely declared a strike. Liu Qingbo looked at the flashlight in his hand, which was flickering, and began to uncooperative. He didn't even have the strength to complain.

But at this moment, the chain sounded again.

This means that the monsters have rested for a while and started to follow their breath again.

The three of them looked at each other in the dark, and the first thought that popped into their minds was that they couldn't run, and if they were bitten, they would be bitten to death.

But in the end, it was still the survivalist who prevailed. Liu Qingbo tried his best to lift his sore arm. Yin Xiujian became heavy in his arm, as if he was back when he was just learning swordsmanship when he was a child, which also meant that his physical strength was reduced. Like a flashlight, the final alarm has begun.

The sound of the chains became more and more rapid, and the sound was endless, foreshadowing that the enemy was getting closer and closer. The most difficult thing was the endless darkness that enveloped the surrounding, but did not know when the danger would come.

The hearts of the three were raised in their throats.

Since joining the Special Administration Bureau, they have encountered countless dangerous situations, such as Fujikawa Aoi, three-headed python, human demon, Yamamoto Kiyoshi, etc. Among them, there are many enemies who are more difficult and trickier than this monster, but now they are confronted with the enemy. The monster on top has exerted its speed and strength to the extreme. If they were at their peak physical strength, they might still have the strength to fight, but now, with three exhausted and injured people, it is difficult for them to fight against the sky. monsters to contend with.

Winter Solstice even suspected that this monster had a great background, otherwise it would not be so difficult to deal with, and it was chained here again.

The chain suddenly vibrated violently, as if there was an unexpected change at the other end.

However, the figure of the enemy did not appear for a long time, Huo Jie held his breath for a long time, couldn't help but let out a breath and coughed.

"Could it be that Shu He came down?" he asked in a low voice.

Liu Qingbo's heart moved: "Didn't Shu He have that strange beast that can only breathe fire? He fought with us last time. If there is such a thing, I guess we can destroy the monster!"

Huo Jie frowned: "Then should we go to meet him? I'm afraid he is alone, and he is not a monster's opponent."

The winter solstice booed and silenced them: "Listen, stop!"

He was talking about iron chains, and the movement that echoed from a distance slowly subsided, and soon returned to calm.

At this time, the flashlight exhausted the last trace of power, the trembling went out, the last light disappeared, and the world returned to darkness.

Although Liu Qingbo claims to be not afraid of the sky and not afraid of the earth, he found that he still likes the light, more than the dark, maybe it is the imprint in the human genetic code, maybe it is a habit inherited from ancient times, in the depths of every human subconscious, or More or less equates darkness with danger.

What's more, the dark environment can easily make people feel fearful, helpless, and dependent on the weak.

But for practitioners, these emotions are just taboos, and in some cases can even cause them to lose their judgment and die.

The Special Administration Bureau is not only a job, but also a kind of practice. There will never be a shortage of accidents and dangers here. The sand is blown away, the waves are rushing for gold, it can deal with humans and demons, and it is enough to survive countless times. Those who are in the next predicament must be the elites of the Special Administration Bureau, and they will also grow rapidly and move towards the pinnacle of practitioners.

When he realized all this in an instant, Liu Qingbo calmed down. He couldn't detect the state of mind of Winter Solstice and Huo Jie, but he felt that the two should be similar to him. The quality is better.

Then he saw that a light slowly lit up, like a flower blooming in the dark.

Liu Qingbo:  …

"Where did you get the flashlight, didn't it fall into the water?" Huo Jie was a little surprised.

Naturally, it is impossible for the light to illuminate the entire cave, but it is better than nothing. The most important thing is to be able to see the road under your feet.

Winter Solstice lowered his voice: "Spare, I just saw that all of yours are still usable, but I didn't take it out. Now it finally comes in handy. Surprise, right?"

Surprise? No, Liu Qingbo wanted to hit someone.

Why didn't you take it out sooner!

He resisted the urge to curse, and listened to the movement in the distance.

The chains were no longer dragging, but out of the practitioner's keen intuition, he felt that something was approaching them.

"Did you feel anything?" he couldn't help asking.

"Did the monster break free from the chain?" Huo Jie asked.

If it wasn't a monster, it would be a character more powerful than a monster, and he couldn't imagine it.

The few jokes just now were just to ease the tension. At the Winter Solstice, the flashlight was turned off, and the three of them stopped talking. s attack.

"Wait for it to come, no matter what it is, I will go with Lao Liu first. Brother Huo, you don't have to hold on, it's okay to go first when you see an opportunity."

Huo Jie nodded, and immediately realized that the other person who nodded in this environment might not be able to see him, so he hurriedly said, "I understand!"

When he fought the monster just now, he was the first to go, and the injury was the most serious. Now if any one of the three of them has an accident, it will drag the other two's hind legs. Dongzhi knows that he has no spare energy, so he will say this. In other words, Huo Jie didn't feel offended.

The visitor is getting closer and closer to them.

The winter solstice has been felt, it is not the movement of the monster at all, it is more like-

A man is trotting forward?

If human...

"Shu He? Brother Shu?" He tried out.

The sound circled and reverberated in layers in the cave and spread far into the distance.

Making a sound at this time is undoubtedly telling the other party their location, but if they don't make a sound, it is easy to accidentally hurt their teammates.

"it's me."

Not Shu He, but another more familiar voice.

Stay for the winter solstice.

Liu Qingbo was overjoyed: "Dragon Bureau!"

Seeing that the winter solstice didn't move for a long time, he couldn't help grabbing the flashlight in his hand, turning it on and looking forward.

The range of light exposure is limited, and it took a long time to faintly reveal a figure.

Liu Qingbo and Huo Jie were not quite sure yet, but they recognized the Winter Solstice at once.

It was indeed Long Shen.

He had no idea that the master and apprentice would meet again at such a time and in such a place. His mind was blank. Many of the words he had imagined and prepared in the past were completely forgotten at this moment, until he was pushed by Liu Qingbo.

The other party whispered: "Is that really a dragon game? Why don't you speak, is it weird?"

When the winter solstice came back to his senses, he found that Liu Qingbo suspected that Long Shen was fake because he was silent, and he was a little dumbfounded.

"should be."

The other party's footsteps are not slow, and the weak light of the flashlight shines on him, which makes him feel a little warm.

The outline of Long Shen gradually became clear, and both Liu Qingbo and Huo Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if their aspirations are considered to be very firm and strong among many people, it is inevitable that there will be a surprise army, and I am blessed and surprised that the sky will not die.

"Dragon Bureau, why are you here?"

"Have you encountered that monster?"

Huo Jie and Liu Qingbo asked questions almost at the same time.

Like them, Long Shen was soaked all over, and his clothes were all against his skin, revealing a well-proportioned figure. He must have come from underwater just now, but his black body was not obvious, and he could only see it when he got closer.

"Mingxian and Old Demon have settled it, and Tang Jing has to deal with the aftermath, so I'll rush over first. Wuzhiqi was injured by me and won't be able to catch up for a while, so let's find the source of the other end of the chain before resting. "

Long Shen's eyes swept across them, fell on the winter solstice, and stayed for a moment.

He had few words, and his words were concise and to the point, but Liu Qingbo and the others could hear a turbulent storm from these words.
