Chapter 45: The Red Dragon
Everyone rushed to the cell door.
Jiang Aqi was still struggling, but the jailers were no pushovers. Four of them held down his limbs, and he couldn't get up at all.
"It's like the [Soul-Loving Gu]..."
Shen Xiang saw that his eyes were bloodshot and he was unconscious. He only wanted to rush into the cell. It was as if he was possessed by a poison and his mind was controlled by someone.
"what happened?"
Cao Jinxing looked towards Tian Jinghu.
Tian Jinghu said hurriedly, "Just now, the two of us were guarding outside, and suddenly we heard a flute sound. I was not sure, so I asked Ah Qi if he heard it. Unexpectedly, Ah Qi's face changed drastically, his eyes instantly turned red, and he drew out his long sword and short knife and rushed towards the Hanzi cell. I did not react for a moment, and only had time to shout for the jailer to stop him."
"Flute sound..."
Cao Jinxing had no recollection, but there were sound-absorbing stones outside the secret room, which had the function of preventing sonic attacks. He turned to the other jailers and asked, "Did you hear it?"
"heard it."
"I think I heard it..."
Everyone was not sure whether there was, but they could not be sure that there was no.
Tian Jinghu breathed a sigh of relief. If an accident happened, his words would serve as testimony. If everyone denied it, the suspicion would immediately fall on him.
"Go to the second floor."
Shen Xiang said to one of the jailers, "Please ask the Gu Master to come."
The jailer turned to leave, when suddenly a sharp flute sound floated in from outside, and this time everyone heard it!
Tian Jinghu shouted, "That's it! It's just that the voice was very low just now!"
As the flute sounded, Jiang Aqi happened again. He suddenly opened his mouth and let out a roar that was not like a human voice. His upper and lower jaws opened wide, and a steel lizard's head popped out from the depths of his throat!
This time everyone was shocked.
"Sixth-grade [Earth Guardian]..."
Shen Xiang's pupils shrank sharply, and he said, "This is a mechanical beast transformed from an alien beast! Retreat quickly!"
The lizard opened its mouth and spewed out thick purple smoke. Jiang Aqi was the first to be hit. His face immediately turned blue and purple, and he died instantly!
What a strong poison!
As the purple poisonous smoke was about to spread, the jailers panicked and quickly retreated.
Cao Jinxing casually swung his sword, controlling the surrounding water vapor to gather, wrapping the poisonous fog, and condensing it into ice the moment it was about to spread and explode!
boom!
Water vapor enveloped the poisonous smoke and turned into an ice ball that hit the ground!
“…”
“…”
The jailers were stunned. They looked at the ice hockey stupidly, then at Cao Jinxing. Magic?
Shen Xiang was stunned.
Tian Jinghu, who was running back during the chaos, was also stunned.
The lizard was also stunned for a moment, then rushed out of Jiang Aqi's mouth, swung its long tail, wrapped around the dagger, and quickly went down the food delivery passage and into the Han cell!
It was so fast that it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Cao Jinxing reacted quickly and drew his sword before it moved, but unfortunately he was still too slow.
"No problem!"
Shen Xiang reacted, pointed his sword diagonally, faced the iron gate, and sneered: "You want this poisonous fog to catch us all, and then let the mechanical beast go in with a knife to rescue us... It's a good idea, but now no one is fine! Xiang Qianli! You must be disappointed."
The cell was quiet.
The people inside said nothing.
Cao Jinxing turned around and looked at Tian Jinghu, who had retreated farther than them, and said expressionlessly, "Explain."
The jailers immediately came to their senses and drew their swords against Tian Jinghu.
Shen Xiang reacts the fastest, but not as fast as you!
As soon as the flute sounded, you took advantage of everyone's attention being on Jiang Qi and ran backwards as fast as you could, as if you knew what was about to happen...
Who would believe me if I said there is no ghost?
Tian Jinghu's face suddenly turned red.
urgent.
He was short and fat, and at this moment, cold sweats were pouring down his face, his mouth was dry, and he tried desperately to find an excuse for himself:
"I……"
"I can guess even if you don't tell me."
Cao Jinxing said leisurely, "You simply took advantage of your position to collude with Emperor Mingzong to murder Jiang Ahqi, placing poisonous insects to control his mind and feeding poison to the mechanical beasts! You just waited for the right time to poison us there would be no evidence, so you would have no problem at all... Maybe you could even get a promotion for your bravery in battle... Am I right?"
“…”
Tian Jinghu was stunned, then horrified, and hurriedly denied: "No, it's not..."
"never mind."
Cao Jinxing was too lazy to listen, and casually pointed his finger, and the invisible sword energy hit his Danzhong acupoint, freezing him in place:
"When this matter is over, I will interrogate you thoroughly. I'm sure we won't be able to find your accomplices..."
Cao Jinxing’s words are meaningful.
The anxiety in Tian Jinghu's eyes turned into fear.
No one knows the methods of the Imperial Prison better than them!
His heart suddenly tightened!
At this moment, the third flute sound suddenly rang out, followed by a "puff" sound, and Tian Jinghu suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain in his abdomen!
He looked down.
A small mechanical claw broke out of the body!
The second Earth Gecko came out of his stomach...
Everyone was shocked.
besides?
The most surprised person was Tian Jinghu himself.
"how come……"
He looked at the wound on his abdomen with disbelief on his face, blood oozing out.
He never expected that, without realizing it, someone had done the same thing to him as Jiang Aqi!
Put a poisonous insect in your head to affect your mind...
There is a mechanical beast hidden in the stomach...
There is no evidence to prove the crime... Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he understood the purpose of their doing this. The high position, generous salary, gold, silver and treasures were clearly a trick to deceive him!
"The Zhao family..."
He was filled with hatred and spat out a mouthful of blood. He fell forward and died with his eyes open.
The earth gecko jumped out of his body and this time, headed straight for the secret room!
Compared with the previous one , it is smaller and faster, like lightning, with a red metallic luster on the surface, and the mechanical armor covering the outer layer is obviously of higher quality.
"You want to do it again!"
Cao Jinxing swung his sword, and Xue Po hit the little creature hard on the back.
An unexpected event occurred; the fifth-grade Snow Soul Sword was unable to cut it off!
The two collided, sparks flew out, and the earth gecko was blown away by the force. After landing, it quickly slipped into the secret room through the gap in the stone door.
"not good!"
Shen Xiang's face changed slightly: "Red Armor is slender and indestructible. It looks like a dragon and is as fast as thunder... It is one of the five sacred beasts made by Kuai Xiang, the Red Dragon! They want to use it to delay the activation of the mechanism!"
Kuai Xiang's skills in making mechanical devices are unparalleled in the world.
If he wanted to break the imperial prison that he had built in his later years with all his painstaking efforts and knowledge, he could only use his own creations and use his own spear to attack his own shield!
And [Red Dragon] is exactly the mechanical killer!
Even if we cannot destroy the secret room, we can still get into the core hub and block it for a while!
The "Five Sacred Beasts", namely the unicorn, phoenix, turtle, dragon and tiger, are the most precious treasures of the Lu Ban Divine Axe Sect.
But two of them were lost in the early years, and [Red Dragon] was one of them, and it unexpectedly fell into the hands of Mingzong!
"That's right, hahaha..."
A faint laughter came from afar: "How about this gift?" When he said the first word, he was still far away outside the Heavenly Prison, and when he said the last word, he had already gone down to the third floor.
The level of his martial arts skills and speed are incredible.
"Lao Xiang, I'm here to pick you up."
The man revealed his figure, with shining golden hair, holding a long stick and wearing a flute on his waist. He was none other than Tie Xiongshi, the "Ape King", one of the four Dharma Kings of the Ming Cult, "Dragon, Phoenix, Ape and Fox".
