Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 60: An acquaintance from ancient times
The dim underground world was originally as black as midnight, but with the help of the fish scale with green light in Nangong Lin's hand, a glimmer of light could be barely seen. Gong Lili followed Nangong Lin carefully, thinking in his heart that it turned out that the earth escape technique was not the exclusive domain of Ze Ze. Looking at the moves used by Nangong Lin at this time, it was probably even better than Ze Ze's earth escape technique.
Zeze's earth escape technique can only be activated by himself. Once he dives down, when and where to come out are all up to Zeze. However, Nangong Lin's trick is obviously different. He doesn't know what spell he chanted, but the mud and gravel underground automatically separated into a corridor in front of the two of them. Wherever he and himself passed, not a single drop of mud could stick to them. Ping Lili secretly marveled at the magic, but was thinking in his heart that it would be a very gratifying thing if he could steal this special skill.
It is always good to have many skills. If you want to survive in this dangerous underworld, the stronger and more omniscient you are, the better it will be for you. Peng Lili does have this knowledge.
But before she could ask the young master of the Nangong family for advice, Ping Lili suddenly felt a familiar yet terrifying force in front of her. She paused slightly. If it weren't for the fact that Nangong Lin had shown her the imperial physician's golden needle for cleansing marrow as a token of his identity, Ping Lili would have doubted Nangong Lin's intention of bringing her here. Was he really here to understand the predicament of Yonghui City, or did he have some other ulterior motive?
But one must be on guard against others, and Pinglili held the short black iron blade in his hand even tighter...
Suddenly, the scene in front of her was dark, and the faint light suddenly disappeared. Without thinking, Ping Lili subconsciously opened the barrier around her body. Unexpectedly, this caused Nangong Lin to laugh softly: "I didn't expect Miss Ping to be such a cautious person."
He snorted coldly without commenting, thinking to himself, if I don't use some caution when playing with people like you who are so smart, I'm afraid I'll die without knowing how.
Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, he heard Nangong Lin suddenly lower his voice and said, "I've said it before, my father devoted himself to the Kongming Clan, and finally found out the true trump card of the Kongming Clan. It turns out that they dared to start a war again because they got the help of the Demon Clan. The Demon Clan had been suppressed under our Nanhai Imperial City before, but I don't know why some of them escaped. Now they are helping the Kongming Clan. I'm afraid they want to use the Kongming Clan to avenge our Ruoye Clan for a thousand years of suppression."
Ping Lili subconsciously held her breath. She had not expected that this was originally just a war between two races, but it would develop into involving so many races. Because of her, the Shamo people were dragged in, and then because of the mysterious Yonghui secret treasure, Penglai Fairyland also sent a maid. Now she heard that the demons were also involved.
If this is really a elimination, then the person who set up the trap is too powerful. He killed people from all three realms and spared no race.
Ping Lili subconsciously felt that the Kongming Clan and the Demon Clan's involvement in the fight for Yonghui City was probably not just for the sake of the secret treasure.
" What do you want me to do?" Thinking of this, Ying Lili replied coldly, knowing that the other party did not tell her these secrets out of thin air.
"According to my father's guess, the demons have never shown up. Perhaps it's because they have been sealed for too long and cannot see the light of day for the time being. So my father believes that they must be hiding underground where the Kongming tribe's army is, secretly transmitting some dark power to the Kongming tribe. The Kongming tribe relies on these dark powers. If they fight with real swords and guns, how can they be the opponent of our Ruoye tribe? Therefore, what we have to do is to find the source of this dark power and cut it off!"
Hearing Nangong Lielin's words, Ying Lili's expression became solemn. Although it was the first time she heard of the demon race, she had at least seen pigs run even if she hadn't eaten pork. Based on the many novels she had read in the real world, Ying Lili knew immediately what a dark and terrifying race that was.
When he heard that the demons were actually the secret helpers of the Kongming tribe, and considered what Nangong Lin had said before about destroying some dark forces, he suddenly understood the key point. Although Nangong Lin said "we", everyone knew that they mainly wanted to rely on their own strength, otherwise they would never easily tell these secrets to an outsider like him.
I just don't know why the Nangong family chose me? Or, what exactly made the imperial physician think so highly of me? I killed General Zhiguo before, but this time I have to deal with the demons. Why is he so sure that he has this ability?
Wouldn't it be better if we told Long Yu the secret of the Kongming tribe directly? With Long Yu's intelligence and ability, he might be able to come up with a better plan, right?
Everything was for the Ruoye clan, everything was for His Highness. Ping Lili seemed to understand the imperial physician's thoughts in an instant. How could they bear to let His Highness worry about such a dangerous matter? In other words, how could they let His Highness personally take risks? As a chess piece, why would he wait any longer?
Moreover, a chess piece like me who works hard and never complains is very easy to use.
I hope Wei Xingying will gain something. If my guess is correct, Wei Xingying should be able to vent her anger.
But before Yan Lili had a chance to think deeply, a chilling and weird laugh suddenly came from a distance! Although the sound was fleeting, it made Yan Lili and Nangong Lin change color at the same time. The two looked at each other and instantly became alert.
At this moment, the black iron short blade in the hand of Ping Lili actually trembled slightly, and the golden light was looming. Ping Lili felt that it was the "Dark Domain Golden Shadow" that was trembling. Could it be that it sensed the breath of its own kind? Moreover, the monster that could make the "Dark Domain Golden Shadow" tremble must be stronger than the "Dark Domain Golden Shadow".
If a fight really breaks out, what are his chances of winning? Moreover, who can guarantee that this "Golden Shadow" will not flee or turn against his own side in battle like last time?
Ping Lili pondered for a moment and thought it was better not to take risks. As the saying goes, it is the hardest to guard against a thief in your own home. She did not want to gamble on the loyalty of the "Dark Domain Golden Shadow" to herself at this time. She put the black iron short blade into the treasure bag neatly. At this time, she actually missed the strange beast Qiongqi in her heart. If Qiongqi was here, it would be an extra helper. She was very scared of that guy at this time. If she asked him to go east, he would definitely not dare to go west. It was a pity that when they were sneaking into the underground before, Nangong Lin said that this trip was extremely confidential and bringing too many people would alert the enemy, so they had to leave Qiongqi at the west gate to guard the city for General Mu Feng.
However, at this moment, Gong Lili was no longer the Wuxia A'mon of the past. Even without the help of Qiongqi, she was still somewhat confident in her own strength. She pinched the Life-Spirit Secret with her left hand, wanting to use it to see what kind of ghost thing, or what kind of monster, the dark power hidden in the darkness was.
But before she could see clearly, she suddenly felt a light in front of her eyes, followed by a gust of cold wind, which made her back feel an unprecedented chill. Pinglili subconsciously tapped her toes and flew backwards until her back touched the hard soil behind her.
The golden barrier in front of him was opened immediately, but the scene in front of him made Ping Lili's eyes widen. Black light, dazzling black light suddenly overflowed! Then, a black ancient bead gradually rose from the ground in front of him, as if it grew out of the ground, surrounded by dug up soil! And the black bead was extremely huge, probably taller than Ping Lili!
As soon as the black ancient bead appeared, it seemed as if the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth was quickly gathered together by it. The dense spiritual energy rushed through the black bead. Ping Lili could even feel that the ground above his head was shaking slightly. Gradually, the black bead began to become somewhat translucent. Ping Lili seemed to vaguely see that there was a person curled up inside the black bead...
It was at this moment that the dark power that had previously made Ping Lili feel both familiar and frightened almost enveloped her entire body! Could it be that the dark power before was emitted by this black bead?
But why did she feel familiar with it? She had never seen this thing before! And even in Yao Ji's dream, she had never seen it before. Wait, something suddenly occurred to Ying Lili's mind. Just because she and Yao Ji had never seen it before, it didn't mean that Jian Yi had never seen it before. Could it be that this thing was also an ancient thing?
The infuriating thing was that Kaneyi was an extremely trustworthy man. Before, Gong Lili asked him to stay in his sea of consciousness and not to come out and hang around to disturb his thoughts. However, he did not expect that the dignified God of Shamo would be so obedient. He stayed there honestly when he was asked to. Now he wanted him to come out to ask some questions and identify acquaintances, but he did not know how to call him out. At this time, Gong Lili felt a little more resentment towards Kaneyi for no reason.
At this moment, all of Ying Lili's attention was attracted by the black ancient bead, but she did not notice that Nangong Lin, who had already retreated to the side when the black bead appeared, had a strange look on his face. To be precise, it was his arm. If Ying Lili was still practicing the Life Skill at this moment, she would have discovered that on Nangong Lin's arm, there was the same dark blue totem as on Wei Xingying's arm that day. To be precise, the mark of the poison that Wei Xingying was infected with was the same as his.
This was Yan Zhu's trump card, a trump card that no one had expected, including the chief imperial physician who thought he had it all figured out, and General Nangong Wulie who was killed by Yan Zhu without even turning his head back, and died with his eyes open...
No one expected that in this Infernal Affairs, you are in me and I am in you.
