Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 268

As soon as he stepped into the hall, he suddenly heard someone yelling in front of him, "Hey you bastard, get out of here!"

The three of them turned around, and saw a disheveled Hanako curled up under the dripping eaves of the empty house, shaking with his legs buried in his hair, the guards wanted to drive him away, but kept kicking him.

Xiao Jue looked at it, walked over, and said angrily, "What are you kicking people for?"

Seeing him coming, the guards hurriedly bowed their heads and said, "I want to report to my master, this man is dying here, and he seems to be a little sick. The slaves are afraid of getting sick... there are so many of us."

Xiao Jue also made sense when he heard this, but in this freezing weather, it would be difficult to drive people out, so he frowned and said: "If you are sick, you can treat them separately. Doesn't it kill people to drive them out? Help it to the back compartment and ask the doctor to come over and look at it."

The guard Weiwei took the order and went, Xiao Jue turned around to see Qin Changge's thoughtful expression, and said with a smile, "It's okay, this man has no martial arts."

Qin Changge smiled and said, "Let's rest earlier."

She saw the guard hastily picked up the straw that the beggar squatted on just now, her eyes flashed suddenly, and she said, "Wait a minute."

At the same time, Chu Feihuan also said, "Slow down."

Qin Changge smiled at him, put on his gloves, reached out and turned over the straw brought by the guards, his hand paused suddenly, and then slowly pulled it out.

A little red mud in the palm.

Xiao Jue snorted and said, "Blood?"

"No," Qin Changge wanted to wait to smell it, but Xiao Jue and Chu Feihuan blocked it together. They stepped forward to look at the mud carefully, smelled it again, and looked at each other, seeing it in each other's eyes doubt.

After a while Chu Feihuan murmured, "It seems to be dirt."

"But how can there be red soil around here?" Xiao Jue frowned.

The two grabbed Qin Changge's gloves, each grabbed one, and threw it aside at the same time. Qin Changge couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said, "I'm made of paper? Made of flour? Why are you so careful?"

"Although this deserted town and wild suburbs seem to have no problem, but be careful when sailing for ten thousand years," Xiao Jue shook his head, "I've been too scared for the past two years."

"You are also afraid sometimes," Qin Changge smiled, and fell asleep on the mattress laid by the guards first, and said, "Hurry up and rest, we have to hurry as soon as the rain stops.

The three of them closed their eyes and adjusted their breath according to one corner, and naturally formed the formation of March Penetrating the Moon, and Qin Changge was naturally the one protected in it.

In the middle of the night, the voices of people were silent, and the wind and snow did not stop.

In the whistling wind, the doors in the town that were not closed properly made a banging sound, opening, closing, opening, closing... the sound was monotonous and dull.

However, this monotonous voice gave people a feeling of horror and chill, as if countless stiff corpses were slowly pushing open the coffin lid underground, and walked step by step onto the moonless street.

In the quiet dilapidated hall, a cluster of fires was still extinguished, and the red flames were flickering in the black ash, blinking strange eyes like the night.

Yao Yanyu, who was guarding the side, got up and went to add firewood lightly, thinking that on this snowy night, it was rare to find dead branches that were not wet in the family's woodshed, and started this fire, otherwise everyone would be frozen. with.

He also thought, Mr. Chu and the others are really careful, they have even seen the firewood in person, but it is about the safety of His Majesty and Grand Master, so it is better to be careful.

When he was thinking like this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of it for a moment. He tilted his head in thought, but suddenly saw a faint shadow on the ground out of the corner of his eyes.

Yao Yanyu was startled, there are enemies!
His intuition wanted to shout, but suddenly he realized that the shadow seemed to belong to him, and he couldn't help laughing, this damn town was so gloomy, it made him suspicious, and he was afraid of even a shadow.

Yao Yanyu shook his head mockingly, and continued adding firewood.

His hand stopped suddenly.

This shadow... is not right.

My right hand is adding firewood, and the reflection on the ground is naturally the opposite. Why does it still seem to be on the right?
And my own hand has stopped, why does the shadow of that hand seem to be still adding firewood?

Yao Yanyu raised his head in panic, there was no one in front of him, no one on the opposite side, his majesty and the grand master were behind him, with a clear view of the roof beams above his head, and there was no one there!
This is a completely empty main hall of a big family, and even the whole town is empty!He is responsible for guarding His Majesty's safety. Before entering the town, he checked all the houses, and there was no one there!

On the ground, the shadow of that hand was still adding firewood, not only that, suddenly there were many shadows around, "adding firewood".

Yao Yanyu's hairs all exploded.

There are ghosts!

Huo Di stood up, the flame was brought back by his violent standing, Yao Yanyu suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and a light mist rushed towards him in a trance, and he fell back with a thud.

The sound of his falling startled the three of them, and they all opened their eyes.

As soon as Qin Changge opened his eyes, he saw a huge flower running towards him.

Yes, come on.

It has no legs, but it is swaying, and it comes slowly. The thick leaves roll up and slap on the face, and it is suffocating to breathe.

In an instant, she also fell backwards!
Chu Feihuan on the side supported her, while Xiao Jue, who jumped out to look at Yao Yanyu, turned around in mid-air, and turned back with a shocked face.

In Qin Changge's eyes, it turned into the shape of that flower suddenly transformed into a ghost, revealing its sharp teeth and fangs, rushing towards her throat, wanting to devour her!
Panicked and dizzy in his mind, Qin Changge emptied out his palm force, and the raging waves rolled straight towards Xiao Jue!
Xiao Jue was in mid-air, unable to avoid his figure.

Chu Feihuan suddenly tugged Qin Changge around and stepped aside.

With a bang, a remnant wall was shattered by Qin Changge's deflected palm, and dirt, dust, and bricks fell, revealing the sleeping guards lying in disorder behind the wall.

Amid the loud noise, Qin Changge's mind became dizzy because the sound cleared up for a short time. When he woke up, Qin Changge immediately closed his eyes and said, "I'm poisoned, the poison of illusion, don't come close to me, I can't open my eyes either."

Xiao Jue was shocked and said, "Then why are Mr. Chu and I okay?"

Qin Changge was awake only at that moment, when she couldn't answer, she closed her eyes and shook her head, Chu Feihuan helped her sit down, and while helping her expel the poison with real strength, he said coldly: "The two of us, kindly Something bad happened."

Xiao Jue was stunned for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said: "Could it be that you mean..." Before he finished speaking, he heard a low panting behind him.

Xiao Jue lowered his head and saw the disordered figures on the ground in front of him, the faint sound of footsteps in front of the half-open door amidst the wind and snow, and behind him Yao Yanyu suddenly struggled to get up, his eyes straightened towards him.

Chu Feihuan shouted lowly: "Don't touch him!" Xiao Jue nodded, and kicked him out with a wrong body and raised his leg. With cleverness, Yao Yanyu landed steadily with a somersault in mid-air, and stood blankly for a long time after landing , looked up and saw a broken lantern swaying on the eaves of the door, suddenly roared as if seeing some ghost, turned around and rushed towards Xiao Jue again.

Xiao Jue yelled angrily, "Bastard!" Yao Yanyu fell out again with a shake of his arm, Chu Feihuan raised his sleeve, a white light shot out from the bottom of the sleeve, and knocked down the lantern with a snap.

When the lantern fell to the ground, the wind suddenly became stronger, and the door was slammed open, snow foam and ice crystals were involved, and the fire was extinguished with a clatter.

The main hall immediately sank into complete darkness.

There was a faint breath in the darkness, and the figure squirmed. After destroying half of the wall, the guards who were poisoned climbed up one after another and came staggeringly.

Chu Feihuan knelt in front of Qin Changge on one knee, never leaving her side, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty... please take care of me."

Xiao Jue nodded, and with a flick of the horizontal sword, the sword energy shone brightly, making the dark hall light up, and the guards who were poisoned couldn't help but retreat, Xiao Jue threw his hands and kicked, without using weapons, They tapped their acupoints and fell out unharmed.

Both of them knew that it was not appropriate to shout and call for help from outside the formation, because the enemy must have set up formations to block the way to the town after they entered the town, and it would be a waste of time for ordinary soldiers and generals to come, and these people naturally did not dare Against the army, the target is actually Xiao Jue and the three of them.

As for how the other party ambushed here in this uninhabited town, the two of them couldn't guess for a moment. The march of the army was extremely secretive. In order to hurry, they mostly walked in the wilderness. There is a real skill in laying out traces to lay an ambush.

Chang Ge was poisoned before they even met each other, Xiao Jue secretly hated himself for being careless, why didn't he check the whole town himself?

Chu Feihuan's eyes swept across the ground, and saw that most of the ice crystals that had been rolled in disappeared immediately after entering the door, but some remained unchanged, rolled into the firewood pile before, and a faint layer of smoke immediately rose from the ground. .

It suddenly dawned on me that some of those ice crystals were poisonous, but they themselves were not poisonous, just like the firewood he had checked was also non-toxic, but it was mixed with the smoke from the "firewood" that the enemy had already arranged. And, it immediately became a psychedelic poison, and when it rained and snowed, some shards of ice rolled up on the body, and some shards of snow fell on the ground.

The wind blows the broken lanterns on the ground and rolls around, and some white particles also roll out-those almost real "ice crystals" leaked from the broken lanterns, landed on the shoulders of everyone, and were brought into the hall.

This kind of poisoning method is bizarre, and the enemy's dexterity is really astonishing.

Chu Feihuan looked back and looked at the backyard - he and Xiao Jue were surprisingly not poisoned, probably thanks to that beggar.

I thought that the beggar who appeared in the deserted town must be a mysterious enemy, and the three of them secretly ordered their subordinates to pay attention. They didn't want to think that the enemy was neither friend nor friend in this weird snowy night, but the people who were cautious came here To rescue each other, the beggar deliberately attracted the attention of the three of them, revealing the straw under his body. The red mud in the straw was actually the antidote.

Smelling that thing can cure the psychedelic poison in the future, but unfortunately, he and Xiao Jue cared too much about Changge, and refused to let her smell unknown things, which hurt her instead.

Chu Feihuan turned his head to look for the place where the gloves were thrown away just now, but in a blink of an eye, he found that the gloves were gone.

It was obviously thrown nearby just now, why did it suddenly disappear?Or was it blown away by the wind?
Unwilling to give up, Chu Feihuan turned around again, and suddenly saw something white and soft shaking slightly in the bottom seam of an old cabinet, as if it was the glove.
