East China Sea dust

Chapter 106

It wasn't until we actually saw tens of thousands of shrimp soldiers and crab generals falling from the sky that such a massive battle finally gave people the real feeling that the mountains and rains are about to come.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers came from the east and south respectively, soaring through the clouds and fog.A chilling atmosphere like cold iron quickly permeated after they descended into the mountain forest.

Ao Zhan commanded the troops to divide into six groups, using puppet techniques to control the substitutes, and guided the soldiers and horses to march deep into the hinterland of southern Xinjiang according to the map drawn by Tong Ling.

When the group set off, it was only Maoshi, and the sky was not yet bright. Most of the soldiers and generals were holding torches and cutting through the thorns and thorns on the rugged mountain road, advancing all the way.

Among them, not all the spirits turned into human forms, after all, some pincers and beard shells were left outside, and the blue-faced fangs, coupled with the dark sky and dancing fire, were even more terrifying.

Different from the six teams marching mightily, Ao Dingbo intentionally restrained his breath and put on a black robe to blur his figure and face. After that, he hugged the white deer in his arms and followed behind Ao Zhan Silently climbed the mountain road.

The whole body of the young deer is snow-white, and there are a few pieces of lighter-colored original forms scattered here and there on the soft fur——Although Tong Ling has transformed into a deer body at this time, it is not voluntary, and the four slender deer legs are bent and carried in the man's arms Here, it is not comfortable at all.

Under the cover of a black robe, the faint golden light of Binding Lingsuo was completely obliterated. As Ao Dingbo moved and rubbed against each other, there was a crisp sound of gold and stone hitting each other, wrapping around Lu Yao's body, completely suppressing Tong Ling's cultivation.

Along the way, the shrubs and grass leaves were broken, exuding a fresh and moist light aroma.

Tong Ling's original form was just a young deer, and Ao Dingbo tightly held him in his arms, unable to move. After half a stick of incense, he couldn't help but push the antlers up against the man's chin. Trying to arouse the other party's attention: "...you let go of me."

Ao Dingbo seemed to have never heard of it.

He looked straight ahead and stared at Zhang Qinglan's back all the way, seeing him and Ao Zhan inseparable, he always felt a little strange in his heart.

In Ao Dingbo's view, the position of young people is extremely unclear.Originally, the purpose of concealing his true identity and sneaking into the Dragon King's Mansion was a sure-fire impurity, but now he is willing to accompany Ao Zhan to attack the place where his so-called sister lives.

This made Ao Dingbo feel a little strangely uncomfortable, so he walked behind holding Bai Lu all the way, deliberately keeping him far away.

Now following Tong Ling's movements, the fluff on the white deer's body gently scraped against Ao Dingbo's exposed skin, pulling back the man's thoughts that he didn't know where his mind had wandered earlier than the pain from the top of the antlers.

"Hiss—" Before Ao Dingbo lowered his head, the painful pain coming from his jaw made him gasp.

Ao Dingbo pulled the brim of his long robe, bowed his head and said fiercely: "What are you doing?"

Tong Ling raised her head and glared at him, but it's a pity that it looks like a white deer now, even if she tries to open her eyes wide, it won't help. : "You let me down, I can walk by myself."

Tong Ling was holding a deer face at this time, and really couldn't make such a complex expression as frowning, Ao Dingbo only thought it was funny when he saw his anxious and helpless appearance, and said mockingly: "You think I'm willing to hug you?" with?"

"What if I really let you go to the ground and accidentally let you escape?"

Tong Ling couldn't quarrel with Ao Dingbo, so she couldn't help stretching out her legs and kicking at the person: "...you!" He couldn't control the sound of his voice, and the soldiers accompanying him from all sides cast suspicious glances one after another.

Ao Zhan was originally walking in the front, but when he heard the commotion behind him, he temporarily stopped, turned around, glanced at the black shadow, and quickly looked away.

"..." Zhang Qinglan followed Ao Zhan, with a bamboo bamboo cage nearly half a person's height on his back, and asked him in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Seeing the snow-white antlers protruding from under the black cloth robe and then being pushed back, Ao Zhan pulled the young man's left hand expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about it."

Zhang Qinglan nodded in a daze: "Okay." Then he quickly followed Ao Zhan, and the copper coin sword on his waist made a few crisp sounds.

He conveniently pulled out a blueprint showing the topography of southern Xinjiang from the side of the cage, and the young man lowered his eyes to look at the places outlined by Tong Ling with a cinnabar pen.

"If Tong Ling hadn't lied, then these places are the big eyes covering the abyss of fire." Holding the flimsy piece of paper tightly in her hand, Zhang Qinglan's voice was flat, and she couldn't hear any emotion: " If Xuanlan wants to defend the formation, he will definitely set up many traps in these places."

"Even if Tong Ling's demonic power can help us enter the battle, the [-] troops will definitely startle them. It is impossible for all of them to cross the barrier and enter the Abyss of Lihuo in a short period of time."

Ao Zhan nodded when he heard the words: "Indeed."

Without leaving a trace, he glanced at the ghost mirror and voiceless bells piled up in the young man's back basket, and there were many talismans written in cinnabar in advance, Ao Zhan quickly said: "That's why the rest of the soldiers need to go deep into the forest first. The most important thing is to be able to dismantle the many mechanisms that Xuan Lan has set up at the formation's eye as soon as possible."

"The situation in the Abyss of Lihuo is not yet clear. If the army is forced to advance rashly, it may scare the snake. It is better to divide the troops into two groups. In the early stage, only the elite dead soldiers are needed to accompany them, and sneak in to investigate." Inside the words, Ao Zhan wanted to The intention to enter the Abyss of Lihuo first is very obvious.

Zhang Qinglan frowned with some disapproval: "Let's wait until the barrier is broken, and the soldiers together..."

"The deer demon and Ao Dingbo are bound by a blood contract. Since they are walking together all the way, they will definitely not put themselves in danger easily." When they spoke, the two clasped their hands, and Zhang Qinglan's hands warmed up little by little. Ao Zhan couldn't help softening his originally cold tone.

Rubbing his thumb lightly on the back of the young man's hand a few times, Ao Zhan reassured him: "It's just an investigation, I won't reveal whereabouts rashly, so don't worry."

Zhang Qinglan frowned, hesitated to speak for several times, finally sighed, quietly clenched the saber around her waist, and said no more words.

……

With the guidance of the map drawn by Tong Ling, several groups of people drove straight towards the place where the eyes and key points were located.

As Ao Zhan said, he really only left a dozen or twenty flood guards by his side. He separated from a large group of soldiers at a fork in the way to the deep forest, and quietly approached the abyss of fire with Ao Dingbo.

The journey was unexpectedly smooth, except for the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountain itself, no more traps or defensive formations were found.

It's so calm, but it's suspicious.

At this moment, there were no distracting sightlines around, so Ao Dingbo casually cast a small spell to knock Tong Ling unconscious, then tore off the black robe he had been wearing all along, wrapped the young deer in it, Carry it on your shoulders like a sack.

Immediately, he quickened his pace, and after a while, he rushed to Ao Zhan's side, walking side by side with him.

Ao Dingbo pretended not to see the figure of the young man on the other side, and leaned into his elder brother's ear and said, "Brother, I think there is something strange in this mountain." When he spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice mysteriously, not wanting Zhang Qinglan to hear him.

How could Ao Zhan not be able to see his thoughts, but he was not used to his younger brother's stink, so he glanced at Ao Dingbo and turned his eyes back to the map in his hand: "What do you say?"

"According to that bald donkey's style, I wish we could step on a pit halfway," Ao Dingbo continued to mutter, shaking his arm nonchalantly: "If things go wrong, there must be demons... We have been so smooth all the way, I always feel that Not at ease."

"That's right," Ao Zhan folded back the scroll in his hand, and finally he was willing to pay some attention: "So you must be extremely careful with every step you take."

After finishing speaking, he saw the round bulge on Ao Dingbo's shoulder.

Ao Zhan frowned helplessly, subconsciously grabbed the wrist of the young man beside him, and dragged Zhang Qinglan back to his side: "How did you make people like this?"

Zhang Qinglan looked along, and finally saw the white deer that was tightly wrapped in several layers of cloth.The black robe was thick and buried Tong Ling's whole body inside, only half of the tip of his nose was exposed.

Ao Dingbo blinked indifferently, and said: "I'm afraid that he will run away when we are not paying attention, and I don't want this kid to hear the conspiracy between me and your elder brother..."

Before the whole sentence was finished, the three of them happened to pass through the last bush, and the remaining half of Ao Dingbo's sentence was blocked in his throat by the scene that suddenly appeared in front of him——

The scenery originally hidden behind the dense bushes finally appeared in front of everyone.

Half a foot further forward, there is an abyss with jagged gaps.

As Tong Ling said, the "Abyss of Lihuo" is surrounded by deep rifts, and there are ravines and ravines in all directions.The boundless cliffs are like a natural barrier, isolating the steep peaks in the middle from the outside world.

Dufeng is abrupt and precipitous, straight into the sky, and the higher place is completely covered by milky white clouds, which makes people see it unrealistically.On the mountain wall, dry vines entangled and twisted around, a large area of ​​dark red and dark brown was laid on the stone surface, and there was no sign of life in it.

Surrounding the single mountain peak is a bottomless valley, the rift is hundreds of feet wide, filled with blue-purple poisonous mist like a rushing tide.

As the poisonous mist surged, a thick bloody smell rushed towards the face. The smell took a lot of lives to accumulate, and it made people turn pale and almost vomit.

Ao Dingbo was dumbfounded, regardless of the fact that Tong Ling was still on his shoulders, he involuntarily took half a step forward.

At the same time, the toes seemed to have touched something thin and brittle, and there was only a soft sound of "gululu", and the thing was kicked out of the cliff by Ao Dingbo.

I lowered my head in the direction of the sound, only to realize that what the few people were stepping on was not rough loess—it was piled together of scattered bones.

Ao Dingbo looked at the towering mountain in front of him and the piles of bones under his feet, his eyes straightened, and he murmured: "My God..."
