"You...I, I..." Old Man Han's voice was broken and he couldn't make out what he was saying.
"Grandpa, you don't love me anymore... wu wu wu..." Han Xuelian started to cry, this time she cried very loudly, which showed that she was very sad.
"Hey, Xuelian, don't cry, it's grandpa's fault." Old Man Han couldn't resist his granddaughter, so he had to apologize and comfort him. He still felt sorry for his granddaughter, who was just such a baby. He was angry just now, but in fact, he immediately regretted the slap.
Everyone outside heard this situation and thought about it. Nangong Mingjing sighed softly, a girl was wronged because of their affairs, how could he, a big man, continue to listen outside with peace of mind, and said: "Han
Village chief, it is indeed rude for us to enter your village rashly, please do not blame Miss Han."
With a creak, the wooden door was pushed open, and an old man in his seventies or eighties stood at the door with a bad look. The old man was dressed similarly to Han Xuelian, wearing unusual colorful clothes, with a gold and silver collar hanging around his neck, and a gold and silver collar on his head.
He was wearing a wide colorful hat, which was much larger than his head and looked very uncoordinated.
The old man is old, but he still looks very energetic. He has no crutches and his back is as straight as a javelin.
"That's you?" Old Man Han looked at these people. When he saw that most of them were armed with weapons, he was obviously unhappy and said, "You are not welcome here. Please leave immediately!"
Everyone knew that Old Man Han would say this, so they smiled bitterly. A few people had stiff expressions and were dissatisfied, but with the leader in front, they could not speak nonsense.
"There is no need to be angry, old man," Nangong Mingjing has been deeply involved in the world. He knows that an old man who has lived in a secluded place for a long time will inevitably have a strange temper, so he is not angry. He said calmly, "We are trapped by the maze at the mouth of the valley, and we only go deep into it as a last resort. We are in danger.
At that time, I met Miss Han by chance and got out of the crisis temporarily with her help. We didn't mean to disturb you." What he said was half-truth, it was true that he was trapped, but it was necessary to go deep here. They still need
Learn more about the situation in the village from Old Man Han and figure out the cause of these strange phenomena. Therefore, it is difficult to directly offend this old man, so I have to be vague.
"Maze?" Old Man Han squinted his eyes, half-believing what they said. Although he had lived in a secluded village all year round, he was familiar with the sinister nature of people's hearts. These people were armed with swords, neatly dressed, light on their feet, and burly in stature. It was obvious that they came from the same family.
The people who practice martial arts in the organization definitely don't come here because they are lost and wandering around. Maybe they have ulterior motives. Xuelian is simple-minded and naturally easy to deceive. He is old and has never seen anything, so it is not easy to fool him.
"Huh, you go now! The fog will clear up at noon! You are not welcome here. I advise you to leave immediately!" Old Man Han said without mercy. Then he seemed to have thought of something and his eyes flashed.
Nothing is revealed on the surface.
"Old man..."
"Get out! Otherwise you'll be responsible for the consequences!" Before Nangong Mingjing could say anything else, Old Man Han decisively closed the door and locked it with a click.
Nangong Mingjing gave a wry smile and shook his head. Although these wooden doors could not stop skilled warriors like them, there was no need to fall out with the locals. They did not come here to cause trouble.
A mercenary said angrily: "Captain, that old man, a mere ordinary man with no power to restrain a chicken, dares to talk to us like this, do you want-"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Nangong Mingjing yelled, "We are mercenaries, not robbers and bandits, let alone murderers. Although it is a mission, it is true that it disturbs others' purity. How can you have the idea of competitiveness? You are practicing martial arts.
To bully ordinary people?"
The mercenary was scolded by Nangong Mingjing. He was speechless and stepped aside.
"What should be the next step? I want to hear everyone's opinions." Nangong Mingjing is not a dictatorial person, and he naturally has to discuss things with other people when encountering problems.
"How about we grab someone and ask them?" a mercenary asked.
"It's not good. Not to mention whether it will arouse the resentment of the villagers. I think these villagers may not know anything. Their eyes are not only frightened but frightened. Maybe they think we are the culprits." Nangong Mingqing objected.
.
Everyone put forward several ideas, but they were all considered poorly and rejected one by one. After a long silence, Tian Lan looked up at the towering cliffs on all sides and said: "The entrance is blocked with blinds. Maybe, this village
Some places were also covered with blindfolds or something like that, so we didn’t find anything special. Look carefully and maybe you’ll find something.”
He looked back at the village chief's house. Others might not have noticed the flashing look in Old Han's eyes, but he did. This old man must know something, otherwise why would he rush to drive people away?
Everyone nodded, and now they could only do as Tian Lan said.
They walked towards the entrance of the village together, with Nangong Mingjing walking at the front and Tianlan and the others at the back.
What they didn't know was that as they moved, two men in black slowly approached them in the dark. These two men were like shadows, silent, and many of the experts present did not even notice that someone had touched them.
behind.
When passing a corner, Tianlan was suddenly startled. A strong murderous intention suddenly erupted from behind. He didn't move at all. With a startling movement, the poisonous snake that had been lurking for a long time finally showed its fangs!
At that moment, without thinking, he subconsciously performed the wind control technique that he had prepared for a long time. As soon as he turned around, he saw a black figure reaching for him with a black claw. The black figure was extremely fast, and
Another attack broke out very close to Tianlan, and before anyone could react, they were already in front of Tianlan.
With a pop, the black claws pierced into the transparent airflow of the Wind Control Technique. Although the four-star Wind Control Technique failed to deflect the black claws, it was somewhat effective. The black claws pierced into the colorless airflow.
Like being stuck in a quagmire, its speed dropped sharply, and the dense wind element dragged its claws, preventing it from moving forward.
However, Tianlan did not feel at ease. Instead, he felt that the murderous intention was getting closer and closer. Knowing that it was not good, he moved his feet and floated backwards.
Sure enough, the moment Tian Lan raised his foot, the five sharp nails of the black claw shook and fell off, sending out a burst of black mist, which instantly penetrated Tian Lan's wind control technique and stabbed his throat at a faster speed.
Come.
The black claws were getting bigger and bigger in his eyes. He knew that there was no use retreating, and he would soon be overtaken by the black claws. Even the wind control could be penetrated, and it was certainly not a problem to pierce his fragile throat.
.
In the flash of lightning, he used another wind control technique, hoping to resist it for a while. But this time, the black claws penetrated the transparent air flow again without any suspense, and the speed was so fast that it could not stop it even for a moment.
A trace of surprise flashed in Tianlan's eyes. He had already recognized the black claws - the three-star dark spell, the Violent Breaking Golden Claw. The Violent Breaking Golden Claw has a low star rating, but its power is terrifying. It is a very rare weapon.
A close-quarters spell that never leaves the hand. When used, the aura is weak and difficult to guard against. The initial power is small, not even as good as an ordinary two-star spell. Once the energy in the nails is exploded, it can immediately rise to the power of a four-star spell. However,
It cannot last long and will soon run out of energy.
He recognized the violent Broken Golden Claw and successfully consumed most of its power. However, the distance was too close and the time was too short. The other party had rich experience in sneak attacks. In this short confrontation, the more than twenty people around him even
There was no time to react, but Tianlan's movement space was greatly restricted.
The violent golden claws lost their nails, turned into thorns, and gripped Tian Lan's neck tightly. If he exerted any force, he would definitely die on the spot. The thick power of darkness seeped from the opponent's claws into his skin,
The spiritual energy all over his body slowed down in an instant. Don't underestimate this moment, a small delay that makes him unable to resist can kill him!
