The Rise of the Shen Family
v1 Chapter 243: Bandits' counterattack
On the other side, the three Shen Huanzong guarding at the exit of the crypt, after seeing Shen Ruiling appear, quickly bowed their hands to him, with a look of awe on their faces.
Although they don't know what happened underground, the miserable roars from the underground just now made them shudder!
So now that I see Shen Ruiling come, I become more respectful.
Shen Ruiling glanced around, then asked Shen Huanzong three people in a deep voice:
"Are any bandits escaped from this exit"
"Report to the elders, no one has come out from here!" Shen Huanzong and the three immediately replied.
After hearing this, Shen Huanzong's heart moved, and he began to investigate the seals of the remaining four holes.
When he found that the seals he had placed at the other four exits were still intact, he slowly took back his divine consciousness.
Then he lowered his head and glanced at the hole where the smoke was gradually weakening, then turned around and said to the three of Shen Huanzong:
"Let me go down and see!"
"Yes!"
Under the leadership of Shen Ruiling, the group of them quickly entered this intricate underground fortification and moved slowly towards the hall.
While walking in the tunnel, Shen Ruiling once again extended his spiritual consciousness, wanting to see if there are any living people in the cave.
After walking for a while, the four of Shen Ruiling found a pile of black charcoal appearing in the corridor. Judging from the appearance of the pile of black charcoal, it should be a corpse burned to ashes.
Shen Ruiling glanced at the ashes faintly, and then stepped on to move on.
When he wanted to come, this person should be just a little closer to the exit of the hall, so he escaped, and was not burned to ashes by his own karma in the first place.
But even if he was not burned to death by the karma fire for the first time, he was still stuck with a ray of karma fire, and he was burned to ashes after all.
On the other side, after the three of Shen Huanzong glanced at the ashes on the ground, the three of them immediately looked at each other, with solemn expressions flashing in their eyes.
After seeing this scene, they can now guess what happened just now, and what a tragic sight they will see soon.
After the four walked a distance again, a hall appeared in front of them.
In the hall at this time, there was still an unquenched karma fire burning there, and a strong smell of coke penetrated into the noses of the four of Shen Ruiling.
After smelling the pungent smell, the three of Shen Huanzong couldn't help covering their mouths and noses, and then looked at the underground hall.
In the hall, there is a scorched black color everywhere, and the ground is scattered with ashes from burning corpses.
The surrounding stone walls also showed signs of melting under the high temperature just now, and some crystals appeared on the surface of the stone walls.
Just when the three of Shen Huanzong were still in shock, Shen Ruiling spoke.
"Go and check all the passages here, and put away all the useful things. Let's take a rest here and talk about it."
"Yes!"
After receiving instructions from Shen Ruiling, the three of Shen Huanzong went to different corridors to check.
After the three of Shen Huanzong left, Shen Ruiling looked around again for a week, shook her head involuntarily, and a look of disgust appeared on her face.
I saw that a ball of water suddenly appeared in the palm of his right hand. The ball of water revolved rapidly and became larger, and then turned into a stream of fresh water and began to wash the hall.
After a few breaths, the pungent smell in the stone chamber gradually disappeared, and some coke and ashes on the ground were also cleaned up.
Although the stone wall is still pitch black, it is much better than before.
At this time, Shen Ruiling looked at the stone chamber again, only then showed a satisfied look, and then found a clean place to sit down.
After sat down, Shen Ruiling closed his eyes and began to seriously think about the current situation.
Before leaving, Zuo Canglang gave them a total of half a month, let them go into the mountains to investigate the road conditions and remove the secret openings set by the bandits.
Now it counts as days. Six days have passed since the time of his party. If you pull out a secret mouth in six days, it is considered to have completed the task.
But Shen Ruiling knew that now is not the time to go back. Although Zuo Canglang didn't stipulate that each family must pull out several secret mouths before setting off, it was because they wanted to fight between the families so that they could all try their best to complete this task.
Therefore, Shen Ruiling thinks that his group will have to pull out a secret mouth in the next days, so that they will not lose their lives when they go back, and avoid being put on shoes by Zuo Canglang.
Besides, Shen Ruiling already knew the second goal.
Judging from the memory read in the brain of the fat man, after crossing the hills here, there is another secret mouth not far away.
The number of bandits in the secret mouth is about the same as here, and the leader is also a man with nine levels of Qi training.
Therefore, as long as you are a little more careful with your group, you are still very sure that you can unknowingly remove this secret mouth.
……
Just when Shen Ruiling and his party were resting on the spot, there was already a mess on the Baibone Ridge hundreds of miles away.
"Brother, there is news from Centipede Mountain. Shannan has discovered that a small group of troops have entered the mountain under the leadership of the foundation-building cultivator."
A man in a black robe with a scar on his face arched his hands and said to the black shadow on the first place.
After hearing this, the black figure in the first seat was silent for a while, and then asked coldly:
"Have you figured out how many small units have infiltrated?"
Facing the black shadow's question, the black robe man's face suddenly became ugly, and he hesitated:
"This... has only received news from Centipede Mountain, but no news has been received from other halls, so it is not clear how many foundation-building cultivators have entered the mountain!"
"Um"
For a while, a cold breath swept through the entire stone room, and the black robe man was constantly trembling there.
At this time, the scholar man on the side glanced at the black robe man with disdain, then got up and looked at the dark shadow on the first seat, and said with a heavy tone:
"Just now I tried to contact all the hall masters on Jiugang 18th Bend, and only received replies from 20 hall masters~lightnovelpub.net~ and there are still no news from 7 of them so far!"
Although the scholar man did not say it clearly, everyone here knows that the seven secretly speaking people are afraid that there are already very few fierce people.
After hearing the report from the scholar man, the black shadow immediately showed a cold breath.
After a long time, he snorted coldly:
"The action is really big!"
"In these short days, we have pulled out the seven halls we set up in succession. This time, the number of small troops entering the mountain should be no less than this!"
This scholar man is worthy of being the think tank among the bandits. With just this little news, he has guessed the number of Shen Ruiling and the others entering the mountain this time.
The black-robed man saw the contemptuous look of the scholar man, his face suddenly became savage, and he looked at the black shadow on the first seat and said:
"Brother, give the order! Let me take the brothers to kill a few foundation-building monks, and let them know who has the final say in this mountain!"
"The third brother is right!"
"right!"
……
For a while, the words of the black-robed man ignited the group of grumpy bandits, and they all started yelling.
The dark figure sitting in the first seat raised his head, and after seeing the situation under his eyes, he turned his head to look at the scholar man and asked faintly:
"Second, what do you think?"
Seeing the boss asking for his own opinions at this time, the scholar man immediately showed a smile on his face, and then he showed a vicious breath all over his body, like a poisonous snake.
"It must be killed to kill, it depends on how to do it!"
