Sensing someone approaching and not knowing the situation, Chen Zining quickly led five people to hide behind a nearby stone wall. There was a small cave about three feet above the stone wall. Chen Zining took the lead and dug into the protruding part of the stone wall.
With some help, I climbed up the cave.
As soon as the six people hid, a tall and thin man in black floated out from another passage deep underground. This man was about fifty years old, with shriveled skin, red eyes, and a cold and sinister aura.
After a brief exploration of Chen Zining's spiritual sense, he felt that he was at least a peak martial artist. Behind him were hundreds of underground beasts.
After the man entered the hall, he glanced briefly and was about to leave when suddenly the largest beast behind him roared. The man in black had a look of surprise on his face and said to himself: "Has anyone been here before?"
At that moment, the man in black roared twice at the underworld beast that had reached the fourth-order spiritual beast level. The sound was lifelike, as if he was communicating with it.
Then I saw this fourth-level underworld beast starting to give orders, and hundreds of its kind behind it immediately dispersed and occupied the passage leading to the ground.
Fu Qiwei was anxious and whispered: "The underworld beast smelled the human scent and now it's guarding the passage out. This is bad."
Zhang Kai said: "This person knows how to control beasts, and may be a disciple of the Demonic Beast Control Sect."
The Beast Control Sect is one of the ten major sects of the Demonic Path. It once had great glory and was also at the level of the seven major sects. Now, although the Demonic Path is weak, no one dares to underestimate this person.
Several other people also began to worry. They could think of a good way for a while. If they charged hard, they would definitely be seeking death. Not to mention the hundreds of underworld beasts that had reached the first level, the fourth-level underworld beast and the man in black were alone.
It's enough to give six people a headache.
"Let's see if this cave can lead to the ground." Yang Shangping pointed at the cave behind him and suggested.
Chen Zining nodded and let the red eagle fly again, but after just a moment, he shook his head and said: "No, there is an exit, but it leads to a deeper underground."
Everyone frowned, thinking of ways to escape.
After a long time, a glimmer of light flashed in Chen Zining's eyes, and he had an idea in his mind. He said to the five of them: "Let's do this. I'll rush out later and distract the man in black. You can take the opportunity to return to the ground and report this to Elder Zhao and City Master Wang."
Let them be more careful, I always feel that this matter is not simple, there must be more to it."
"What? No! How can I let you die alone? At worst, we can rush out together." Yang Shangping said excitedly.
The other four people were also a little surprised. They never expected that Chen Zining would make such a self-sacrifice decision. Their emotions suddenly aroused, and the eyes they looked at Chen Zining were obviously different, with a hint of kindness.
Seeing that others had something to say, Chen Zining hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't worry, that person's skills in taming animals are far inferior to mine. I can find a way to escape."
When Chen Zining did this, he naturally did not want to die. He was not great enough to sacrifice himself to save others, but he was more than 90% sure that he could escape successfully, which was much better than having six people trapped together and helpless.
After making up his mind, Chen Zining put down his backpack and carried only a broken saber. Then he jumped out of the cave, collected his breath, and sneaked quietly along the stone wall until he was only ten feet away from the man in black, when he suddenly burst into flames.
Get up and rush towards the man in black!
The man in black reacted very quickly. As soon as Chen Zining's energy circulated, he noticed it. When he saw Chen Zining, a look of surprise and contempt flashed in his eyes. It's no wonder that a warrior attacked a person at the peak of martial arts, even if this martial artist
There is no defense, and there is absolutely no possibility of success, unless the warrior holds a heaven-defying spiritual weapon in his hand.
Chen Zining shook his hand into a fist and ran out in three steps. The fist that had been brewing for a long time spurted out, with powerful force and murderous intent.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Mo Hong's mouth. He had been at the peak of martial arts for several years, and had hundreds of underworld beasts waiting for command. Although it was a bit strange that a warrior-level young man appeared in this underground hall, he would not take Chen Zining seriously.
At that moment, Mo Hong squatted down slightly, as if his head was automatically sent to Chen Zining's fist. His hands were slightly bent, with the thumb, index and middle fingers like hooks, grabbing Chen Zining's ribs.
Just when their fists and feet were about to collide, Chen Zining shook his right hand, and three short arrows shot out from his sleeve, and rushed to Mo Hong's eyes in an instant.
Mo Hong's expression changed, but he didn't panic. He opened his mouth and let out a breath of true energy to break the force of the short arrow in the middle. He retracted his hands and flicked the other two short arrows with his fingers. As for Chen Zining's fists, he relied on his true energy to protect himself.
The cover is tight and thick, enough to withstand the fist of a samurai-level warrior.
Mo Hong's ten fingers were pitch black, as if they were made of steel. Before the arrow hit his forehead, he had already pinched the two arrows tightly with both hands. Just when he thought he was sure, the arrow in the middle that had stopped the incoming attack suddenly flashed past.
A bit of white light passed through his Qi mask, and then there was pain in his right eye. Just as Mo Honggang let out a scream, Chen Zining came up with both fists and punched him on the chest, knocking him out twice.
