C244 Underground City
"Brother Xiao Jian, why are you here?" Suddenly, a hoarse and rough voice came from behind the law enforcement team members.
Xiao Jian was stunned. "Who is it? The voice sounded a little familiar. " Just as Xiao Jian was searching for the owner of the voice in his mind, a robust young man walked out from behind the crowd.
It was Zhang Li. Qin Xiao followed closely behind. That's right. He had heard before that they were members of the law enforcement team. He didn't expect to meet them here today.
"Oh, so it's Senior Zhang Li and Senior Qin Xiao. I came out for a stroll, but I didn't expect to meet the Bloodthirsty Horse Bandits here. Luckily senior Tiange arrived in time and saved me from the encirclement. " Xiao Jian sighed with surprise.
"Oh, you two know each other?" Chu Tiange asked with surprise.
"Yes, we met a few times. " Zhang Li answered briefly. He did not mention that Xiao Jian had helped them defeat the wolves. Maybe he didn't want Chu Tiange to know about the Essence Increasing Fruit. )
"Alright, since everyone is here. . . Alright. Rumor has it that the Bloodthirsty Horse Bandits have more than 200 people, and they only killed 60 or so people just now. There should be quite a number of people hiding in this Stone City. Everyone, spread out and search carefully. " Chu Tiange looked at everyone and ordered them, as if he was a leader giving out orders.
Xiao Jian thought to himself. It seemed like Chu Tiange's position in the hearts of the law enforcement team members was quite high. They maintained a safe distance and slowly walked towards the ancient city that was shrouded in darkness. After a few flashes, they disappeared into the darkness.
In the darkness, figures appeared from various places in the city like ghosts. Their blood-red eyes stared at the people who were slowly walking towards the city and then suddenly disappeared. Their eyes were filled with bloodthirst and ruthlessness.
Underground of the ruined Stone City. At this moment, in a spacious hall. . . A skinny old man was like a bag of skin and bones. His expression was gloomy. His body emitted a strong stench of blood as a blood-colored armor gradually formed on his body. This person was. . . The leader of the Bloodthirsty Horse Bandits, who had recently risen to fame. Qiu Qianchi, nicknamed Blood Cloud Old Man.
If the blood-colored armor on his body was discovered by outsiders at this moment, he would definitely be shocked. This was because elemental energy armor transformation could only be done when one reached the mid-stage Marshal Realm. At this moment, the blood-colored armor on Old Man Yin Jiu's body indicated that his strength was at least a mid-stage Marshal powerhouse.
At this moment, the old man was sitting on an armchair with a cold expression on his face. He looked at the five middle-aged men dressed in blood-red robes sitting on the six seats in the first two rows. An old woman, a muscular old man, and a beautiful middle-aged woman. "What do you think we should do about this?" The Yin Jiu elder said in a cold voice.
"Captain, since the Blood Demon Protector died in their hands. . . In my opinion, there must be a Mid Essencel General warrior among them. Why don't we lure them into the underground tunnel, then we can use the complicated tunnels to capture all of them in one fell swoop. " One of them was a skinny middle-aged man with a strange blood-red light flashing in his eyes.
"Hmm, I also think that Protector Yin's method is feasible. " Another muscular middle-aged man agreed.
"Elder Fan, what do the two of you think?" Qiu Qianchi turned his head to look at the old man and old woman and asked.
"The older students also feel that Protector Yin's method is feasible. It is indeed a good method. " The old woman called Elder Qu also praised.
That Elder Fan also nodded his head in response.
"Alright then, since everyone agrees. Then Protector Yin, Hall Master Rong, and Hall Master Xun will lead a hundred blood disciples to block the passageway!" Qiu Qianchi looked at the two middle-aged men and the beautiful middle-aged woman and said.
"We accept your orders!" The three of them cupped their fists and saluted Qiu Qianchi, who was standing at the top. Then, they walked out of the hall. They led the hundred Blood Disciples outside the door toward the underground city, and the passageway that led to the hall.
Above the Stone City, Xiao Jian and the others were still unaware of a conspiracy and slaughter. They were already waiting for everyone to enter. Suddenly, a member of the law enforcement team who was looking for traces of the Bloodthirsty Bandits. . . He suddenly fell from the sky. "Ah!" A sharp scream rang out. He disappeared without a trace.
The remaining twenty people, including Xiao Jian, who were searching for traces of the horse bandits, immediately ran towards the direction where the law enforcement team member had disappeared. When they arrived at the place where the law enforcement officer had just been standing, they saw a black hole appear where the law enforcement officer was standing. It seemed like the law-enforcer had fallen into it.
"Li Xian, how are you? Are you alright?" Zhang Li shouted at the dark hole. After a while, there was no sound, only a faint echo. In this dark night, it sounded somewhat cautious.
"Senior Tiange, what should we do now? We are in the light, they are in the dark. Furthermore, we are not familiar with the terrain. " One of the law enforcement team members looked at Chu Tiange and asked.
"It is already late at night. It is impossible for us to return to the academy. Then we can rest in Stone City, we won't be able to feel at ease. We'll definitely be ambushed by them. Rather than that, we might as well go down and catch them off guard. " Chu Tiange analyzed in his heart.
When everyone heard this, they also felt that it made sense. They all voiced their agreement. Xiao Jian's mind was spinning, and for the time being, he couldn't think of any good ideas. He could only follow the flow.
Everyone found some dry wood and ignited it with the fuel that they carried with them. They jumped into the black hole one by one. Xiao Jian walked in the middle and paid attention to his surroundings.
"Everyone, be careful. Don't get lost in the crisscrossing tunnels here. We've been separated. " Chu Tiange walked in the front and reminded everyone.
As the group moved forward, they didn't find Li Xian who had fallen into the tunnel earlier. It seemed like the odds were against them. Everyone's hearts could not help but be shrouded in a layer of haze, somewhat solemn.
There were more and more passageways ahead, and they were also becoming more and more disorderly. The criss-crossing underground passageways formed a huge underground maze. Everyone was pacing back and forth inside, but they found that they were still there.
A hint of uneasiness flashed across the faces of all the law-enforcers. They had never encountered such a strange place before. Especially in this dim underground world, there would be enemies coming out of the criss-crossing tunnels and extending their evil hands toward them.
Suddenly, the last member of the law enforcement team shouted, "Ah!" With a scream, he lost all movement. Everyone hurriedly turned around. There was no one behind them except for a corpse lying quietly on the ground. It was a cold underground world.0
"Liu Yuan! Xiao Di!" A law-enforcer shouted with grief and indignation. He threw himself at the corpse on the ground. He hugged the corpse on the ground and cried bitterly.
"You shameful evil beings, get the hell out here! I'm going to kill you all!" The law enforcement officer lying on the ground was his younger brother. That was why he was so angry.
The other law enforcement team members beside him also had angry expressions. Up until now, not even a shadow of a ghost had been found. They had been walking around this place for half a day. Now that another member had suddenly died, the pressure on them could be imagined. Everyone's hearts felt as heavy as a mountain.
"Everyone gather together, don't stray too far away. Liu Yuan brought your brother's corpse and walked in the middle. It's not easy to stay here for long. Xing Feng, you cover the retreat. " Chu Tiange ordered with a cold expression. He was the leader of the group. Under his leadership, he had to take responsibility for the casualties of his team members.
"Yes. " A member of the law enforcement team called Xing Feng walked back.
After that, they continued their exploration. With their previous experience, they became even more cautious. Their expressions were highly concentrated. However, what they did not know was that there was an even greater danger waiting for them ahead. Previously, it was merely an appetizer for them.
