Chapter 238

Ning Yue was surprised, and quickly bent over to touch the white powder on the ground. In this space covered by ruins, it was covered with dust everywhere. Few people came to it, but some disordered steps could be seen around the gap connecting the tunnel.

And there are many white powder has not been contaminated with dust, you can see that it should be sprinkled not long ago. Moreover, near the edge of the notch, a few pools of condensed white liquid can be found, which is also mixed with a little powder.

"Is this magic powder

He stared at the white powder on his fingertips and sniffed again, but he had no experience to distinguish. Subconsciously want to lick, suddenly wake up, quickly stop.

"What am I thinking? Even if I have heard of the taste of magic powder, if I taste it, I will be addicted? Judging from the amount scattered here, it is not accidental omission, and the people who come to intercept us do not need to carry magic powder with them. If it is sprinkled here for some purpose, and these are left behind, then judging from the present situation, the only conclusion that can be drawn is that.... "

For a moment, Ning Yue had a terrible idea in his mind. He reached out and grasped the blade of the dark Xuan ancient sword, and let the blood from the split be stained with the edge.

"Sword spirit, when I broke the spirit array just now, you prevented me from absorbing the power of the spirit array as before. What's the reason?"

This time, there is another reason why we can break the battle faster. Smash by force, instead of absorbing and controlling in the past, the power of any spirit array will be allowed to pass as it disintegrates. No scruples, so fast.

Soon, the sword spirit replied: "the support strength of the spell spirit array itself is insufficient. The original maintenance should be completed by some external force. And the power of that external force into the spirit array, I don't know why, makes me uneasy. What's the specific reason? Now I can only stay in the sword. I can't judge. I can only stop the master from absorbing the power of the spirit array. "

"Can it upset you?"

In the heart slightly trembles, rather more ordered to nod, return a way: "good, thanks.". You continue to have a rest. I'm afraid it's not easy to follow up tonight. "

After that, he wiped a little white powder on the ground and fell back into the tunnel.

At the same time, a roar came from the distance. From the position in front of us, we could see that a thick bright ray of thunder struck the two figures fiercely.

Boom!

The tunnel was shaking wildly, and a large number of broken rocks were splashed from the cracked stone wall. When the waves subsided, the swordsman stopped and looked coldly at the cracked stone wall on one side, leading to the gap of another passage.

"You run fast."

He gave a cold hum, and when he turned his eyes to Su Qian and Jiao Chen, there was a glimmer of joy in his eyes.

"It looks like you're all right."

After nodding, Su Qian praised: "I've heard that captain Dugu is a disciple of Marshal Nan. That blow just now must be his most proud lightning blade, right? It's so powerful that it deserves its reputation. "

"I'm just a registered disciple. If Marshal Nan saw that, he would have to reprimand me."

Dugu Hong shakes his head. At this time, Su Qian also notices that the clothes on his left shoulder and back are all cut, but there is no blood.

It doesn't look like he won easily.

"Brother ningyue, there are corpses here!"

All of a sudden, Zhi Li's cry attracted Ning Yue's attention again. When she turned her head, she saw that the other side was squatting in a sunken position, where there was a corpse lying with a sword through her heart

Turning over, it's Zou wufei, one of the members of Jishou.

"It's a very fast sword, and it should be with the help of the confusion of the spirit array to suddenly appear and sneak attack from behind. So there's no sign of a fight. "

Ning Yue touched the wound of the other side and shook his head with a sigh.

"Over there, Wei Hu is dead too. The sneak attack under the floor cuts him in two with one sword. Although we succeeded in breaking through the enemy's spirit array and repelling them, we only recovered some disadvantages and still made no progress. "

Su Qian, who came back in time, frowned and hummed reluctantly.

Next, Ning Yue handed out his hand and displayed the collected white powder in front of each other's eyes.

"It's found on it. Judge whether these are magic powder."

To his surprise, Su Qian got a little bit of it on his lips and licked it gently. Immediately, Liu Mei wrinkled again and spat out the powder with a mouthful of saliva.

"The taste should be right. It's magic powder. It seems to be stronger than what we collected before."

"It doesn't matter what you do?" Rather more startled.

Su Qian was stunned and quickly reflected what he was referring to. He shrugged and said with a smile, "if you drink enough of it in the wine, or mix it in the fragrance to ignite it and smell it for a long time, you will become addicted. A little taste like this, it's OK. However, it is also said that if you swallow too much at one time, you may be killed on the spot. "

The next moment, she looks dignified.

"Found on it? Is it a lot of accumulation? "

"To disappoint you, there is only a little scattered. There is a secret passage above, but it leads to the outside world, a hidden entrance in the ruins. If we had known that, we wouldn't have had to walk through the tunnel for so long and be ambushed. "

Ning Yue sighed helplessly, and then looked down at the white powder on his fingertips.

At that moment, there was a chill in his eyes.

"Now I have a bold guess. Although I don't know what the spirit array is just now, part of the power that puzzles our cognition and sense organs is probably the magic powder. Just now, I was able to break it easily. I can't say it was because of the fire in front of me... "

Speaking of this, he looked up at the gap in the ceiling ahead.

Before the spirit array was still there, he accidentally looked up and found that part of the smoke was rising from there, instead of spreading along the ceiling to both sides of the passage. This was the first time that he realized the clue.

"Perhaps, there has been someone using magic powder to maintain the operation of the spirit array, but I accidentally burned a lot of his magic powder on the edge of the gap, so that the spirit array began to decline, which also gave me an opportunity. On the top, a small amount of evidence of re solidification after melting at the edge should prove this. "

"Use magic powder to launch spirit array? It's just a fantasy. However, the appearance of magic powder itself can no longer be understood by common sense, and you are the one who breaks the spirit array, so I can only choose to believe it. But even if it is true, we are still far behind the unknown enemy. If you want to catch up, that's not enough. "

Jiao Chen gently shakes his head when he comes back. In the face of ningyue, he has no conceit and arrogance at the beginning.

"So what about this discovery?"

In the rear, Dugu Hong drank aloud and pointed to the broken floor.

The crowd rushed to have a look and saw that there was a passageway on the lower floor, which was spacious enough to cover the two above. In addition, we can vaguely see that there are other entrances and many branches on the side stone wall.

Seeing this, Su Qian looked more cautious and said in a deep voice: "maybe this is their real access. It's just a puzzle for the invaders. "

"The question is, which way do you go

Dugu Hong glanced around, and there were four fork entrances he could see. Further ahead, it is difficult to know how many similar pathways there are in the dark.

"That... Seems to be over there."

All of a sudden, Zhi Li timidly opens her mouth and reaches for her hand, which is the second entrance in front of her on the right.

"Zhili, how do you know?" Su Qian doubts to ask.

Zhi Li shook her head and said uncertainly: "I just feel that there is still a living breath there. The others, I think, haven't been around for a long time. "

"Give it a try. It would be unwise to divide the troops now."

After thinking for a while, Ning Yue took the lead in speaking.

However, Su Qian shook his head and said, "if there are traps on this road, we will be killed by one net, it will be over."

Zhi Li said in a hurry: "then Zhi Li goes to the front!"

Then, Dugu Hong retorted: "no, I was attacked from behind just now. Who knows how many secret passages have been buried here? "

Unexpectedly, when several people had different opinions, Jiao Chen went to the entrance alone and looked back and drank: "they already know that we are invading all the way. But the rest of the way is not necessarily exposed. Instead of giving them more time to prepare and detect, it's better to simply get stuck. Even if they fail, it's time for others. Su Qian, you are in charge here. Let's draw a conclusion as soon as possible. If you are still hesitating, you are not qualified to make me look at you differently, let alone admit your ability. "

"If you can't rest assured, you and Dugu Hong will continue to explore. I'll take Zhili and jiaochen along this road. Anyway, I believe in Zhili's judgment. "

Ning Yue sighed and strode to Jiao Chen's side. In his side, Zhi Li quietly follow.

Su Qian was still thinking, and Dugu Hong didn't say anything.

Seeing this, ningyue raised his hand, and the three entered the passage, slowly deepening.

On both sides of the stone wall, there is a piece of ore standing at a high place, which emits light. It is a common fluorescein in the border areas of all countries. The price is not expensive, and it is often used in the lighting of mines and other places.

"If they don't decide, they will go far. I know you want to protect more people, but if you hesitate like this, you will probably lose more. I'm a rough man, I can't read a few big words, but I have more experience than you. I can see you want to follow. "

Dugu Hong pats Su Qian on the shoulder and goes to the passage.

"Just as, let's help them cut off?"

"Well."

Finally, Su Qian nodded and trotted to catch up.

In the dark tunnel, Jiao Chen suddenly glanced at Ning Yue and asked in a low voice: "when it was said that the spirit array was related to the magic powder, it seems that you still have something to say?" Slightly surprised, Ning Yue nodded and said: "is it so obvious? In fact, it's just my guess. We don't know how to make magic powder, let alone what it can do besides making people addicted and hallucinating. This time, magic powder can be used on the spirit array. So, next time, can it be used in other ways? " In this regard, Jiao Chen just a smile: "the spirit array itself is the role of confusion, just in line with the characteristics of magic powder. You think too much about other things, don't you Ning Yue replied: "have you ever thought that, from our cognition, people addicted to magic powder get satisfaction from it, which can be various. After the accumulation of toxicity, it may also lead to mania. We can come to the conclusion that the illusions created by fantasy powder are too many variables to be controlled. " All of a sudden, Jiao Chen's step stopped and his face changed slightly“ You mean... The enemy is well prepared this time, and obviously - huh? " Before he finished, he suddenly felt a sinking under his feet, but found that the floor was sinking. At the same time, a cry came from behind. Ningyue three quickly look back and see Su Qian and Dugu Hong in the distance who seem to be trying to catch up. Among them, it seems that Su Qian's right foot and a floor sink together. Click! Click! Click! At this time, the huge roar of friction reverberated in the whole tunnel, shaking in the crazy spread.
