C1611 Sliver of Vitality
After walking for more than a hundred meters, Lin Long discovered that there were tunnels on both sides of him.
"Are these two tunnels leading to the outside?" Lin Long could not help but ask.
"Not really." Guo Mang shook his head.
"Wouldn't they still be able to catch up?" Lin Long frowned.
At this time, Guo Mang spoke out, "May I know how to address this brother?"
"Surnamed Lin Long." Lin Long said.
"So it's Brother Lin." Guo Mang nodded, and then said, "Thank you, Brother Lin, for helping me earlier."
Guo Mang knew that if not for Lin Long's help, he wouldn't even have had the chance to reach this place.
"What are you saying, Sect Leader Guo?" Lin Long smiled slightly.
After saying that, Guo Mang suddenly took out a secret manual from his clothes, and handed it over to Lin Long: "Brother Lin, this is our sect's secret technique, the Heaven Tiger Method."
"What is Sect Head Guo doing?" Lin Long asked doubtfully.
"Mo Shengfang came for this secret manual, to prevent it from falling into the hands of an old man like Mo Shengfang. I hope that you, Brother Lin, can help me keep it." Guo Mang said.
"Why does Sect Head Guo's words seem like it's a matter of hindsight?" Lin Long could not help but ask.
"Brother Lin, just look at the Rune Seal on my arm." With that, Guo Mang opened his sleeves, and immediately, Lin Long saw that there was a Rune Seal on his arm.
This Rune Seal was black, as if some black qi was rolling inside it.
"This is the Black Blood Curse Seal!" Lin Long could not help but exclaim.
The Black Blood Curse Seal was a very vicious Curse Seal of the Mo Clan. After it invaded the body, if it was not purged of blood within a certain period of time, the blood would slowly turn black, and in the end, it would solidify. At that time, the person who received the Black Blood Curse Seal would definitely perish.
This kind of Curse Seal could normally only be cleared by cultivators with the Black Blood Curse Seal.
But how could Mo Shengfang help Guo Mang right now, so Guo Mang was definitely going to die.
"That's right, it's the Black Blood Curse Seal. Mo Shengfang activated it casually when he was about to go deal with you." Guo Mang laughed bitterly.
After saying that, Guo Mang passed the manual in his hand forward, and then said, "Whether or not our Heavenly Tiger Sect's Celestial Tiger Art can be passed down will depend on you, Brother Lin."
"Alright then." Lin Long nodded his head and accepted the manual.
After looking at it for a bit, Lin Long asked again, "Why is Mo Shengfang so interested in this technique?"
After scanning through it, he realized that this secret manual only stated that it was a high-grade yellow-rank cultivation technique.
It was just a Yellow Rank cultivation technique, yet it actually piqued Mo Shengfang's interest. Lin Long was naturally puzzled.
"I don't know either. Maybe it has something to do with the second half of this cultivation technique." Guo Mang said.
"The second half?" Lin Long asked doubtfully.
"The latter half isn't really the Heaven Tiger Technique, but some Rune Seal Arts." Guo Mang said.
"Is that so?" With that, Lin Long flipped to the back, and upon taking a look, he discovered that it was indeed some Rune Seal Arts.
"Dong Dong Dong"
It was at this moment that such a voice came from behind.
"It seems like they came in not long after." Guo Mang's face could not help but change.
Then, he gritted his teeth, as if he had made some sort of decision, "Brother Lin, go to the left a little, I will go to the right, when they come over, I will shout for them to go to the right, and then you can take the chance to escape!"
"Alright." Lin Long nodded.
At this time, there was no other way.
Although Lin Long could release Runic wood man, Runic wood man was unable to finish off her opponent's Blood Shadow Bat.
After saying that, Lin Long walked towards the left. After thinking for a bit, he did not stop even halfway, but used his fastest speed to walk further in.
Soon, he arrived at the end of the passage. He found himself in a stone house with a stone table inside. Other than that, there were some simple runes on the walls.
According to Guo Mang's meaning, there was no exit here, but maybe the exit was hidden inside, and Guo Mang just did not discover it.
Thinking that, Lin Long immediately looked around the stone wall.
As a former Martial Emperor, he did not want others to give up their lives to save him. Thus, after searching for a while, he did not discover anything.
However, when he looked at the simple runes around him, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Because he discovered that this Symbol Grammar Array looked very similar to some kind of small-scaled Symbol Grammar Array that he had come in contact with before.
Maybe, if we activate it using the Symbol Grammar Array, we can open a channel! Thinking about that, Lin Long started to play.
Soon, he drew out some symbols on the ground of the stone house. These symbols connected the surrounding simple symbols together.
Immediately after, Lin Long started chanting, and after a long while, he suddenly slammed his palm onto the ground.
After this palm strike, the originally quiet stone wall suddenly flashed with runes.
This situation immediately made Lin Long rejoice, because this meant that the runes on the stone wall were not for decoration.
More and more runes appeared, and in the end, one could only hear "Kacha Kacha" sounds. The stone wall in front of Lin Long had actually split apart to the side.
Lin Long immediately took a few steps forward, his gaze looked towards the crack, and Lin Long could not help but reveal a smile, because it was obvious that there was a flight of stairs leading downwards.
The staircase was neither wide nor tall, only enough for one person to pass through.
He went to call Guo Mang over, thinking that way, Lin Long would immediately rush back.
Arriving at the fork in the road, Lin Long realized that Guo Mang was still there.
At this time, the sounds coming from the direction they came from were clearly louder.
"Brother Lin, why did you come out?" Seeing Lin Long coming out, Guo Mang was shocked, and quickly said, "Go back quickly, they are coming in."
"I found a path ahead. It should lead to the outside." Lin Long said.
Hearing Lin Long's words, Guo Mang's face revealed a look of joy, but, he immediately shook his head, "Brother Lin, since I'm not going to live, I might as well lure them away, this way you will have enough time."
Lin Long couldn't help but frown, "Sect Leader Guo, I don't want to owe others anything, so I hope that you can follow me."
"No. Since I won't be able to live anyway, I might as well die here with my brothers." Who would have thought that Guo Mang would still say that.
It was at this time that a "bang" sound was heard. The secret door they had come in through had been smashed open.
Lin Long knew that it would be too late if he did not leave now. He directly went over to grab Guo Mang, then dragged Guo Mang and sprinted towards the passage on the left.
Guo Mang didn't expect Lin Long to do this, and before he could even react, he had already been dragged far ahead.
"Alright Brother Lin, I'll listen to you." Guo Mang quickly replied.
Hearing his words, Lin Long let go of him.
After that, Guo Mang did not waste any more words, and followed Lin Long to the passage. Before long, they arrived at the stone house.
"You go in first." Lin Long said.
"Alright." Nodding his head, Guo Mang went straight into the crack while Lin Long followed behind him.
After walking up a flight of stairs, the two of them finally saw the light outside.
After walking forward for another distance, they arrived at the place where the light shone in. As soon as they looked outside, they saw the forest outside.
After confirming that there was no one outside, Lin Long immediately said, "Let's go out."
Guo Mang immediately walked out.
Lin Long also followed them out. After they left, he discovered that they were halfway up a mountain peak.
"Sect Leader Guo, follow me." With that said, Lin Long led the way in front.
At this time, Guo Mang was clearly not determined to survive like before, but had the desire to live.
After walking with Lin Long for a while, Guo Mang could not help but exclaim in surprise, "Brother Lin, your spiritual will seems to be really strong."
The reason why he said that was because Lin Long had been able to avoid the surrounding fierce beasts and even the people in the mountain forest the entire way.
"Not bad." Lin Long smiled indifferently.
After walking for a while longer, Guo Mang let out a fierce "Ah, ah" sound, and then directly sat on the ground.
"What's wrong?" Turning his head, Lin Long said with furrowed brows.
He realized that Guo Mang's expression was extremely ugly, and cold sweat kept rolling down his face.
"The Black Blood Curse Seal seems to have activated. I feel like breathing is difficult," Guo Mang said with great difficulty.
As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves. Lin Long looked over and realized that his entire arm had already turned black.
Needless to say, it was definitely the Black Blood Curse Seal that had flared up.
Lin Long could not help but frown.
Judging from the degree of the Black Blood Curse Seal's effect, Guo Mang would have already died before he could bring him out of the mountain range.
"Elder Xu, how come I haven't seen anyone from the Heavenly Tiger Sect in such a long time?"
"I'm afraid they've already been killed or captured by us."
At this moment, a sound like this suddenly came from not too far away. It was obvious that it was from the Mo Clan, and one of them was an elder of the Mo Clan.
It would be better to bring Guo Mang over. Perhaps that Elder Xu could even save his life.
Although the other party was from the Mo family, they were not Mo Shengfang's people, so Guo Mang had a chance of survival.
From the situation just now, Lin Long could tell that it was Mo Shengfang who wanted the secret manual, if not he would not have killed the people from the Mo Clan.0
After making this decision, Lin Long immediately brought Guo Mang over.
Very quickly, he brought Guo Mang to the area near those few people.
Looking at Guo Mang, Lin Long said, "Sect Leader Guo, the people in front are from the Mo Clan, but in order for you to live, I can only do this, I hope that your wise man will have a chance!"
At this time, Guo Mang could no longer make a sound, he could only hear the sound coming from his throat.
With that, Lin Long immediately made a few sounds.
This sound immediately attracted the attention of the few people in front, who immediately rushed over.
Seeing those few people coming over, Lin Long immediately retreated, and very quickly, his figure disappeared into the forest.
