Outside the second area
In front of a sand door ten feet high and five feet wide, a group of disciples from the Sanwang Palace were surrounded.
They passed through the tunnel and suffered many casualties before arriving here, but were stopped by a sand door.
Xiao Yuying, Huang Yu, Fei Jiu, and Lin Diao stood at the front of the team, looking up at the four fan-shaped grooves on the sand gate.
Upon closer inspection, the shape of the groove is more like a circle. It was scratched twice horizontally and vertically with a sharp blade, forming four separate fan shapes.
Huang Yu pointed at the grooves and said to Xiao Yuying beside him: "Yu Ying, have you noticed that these four fan-shaped grooves look like the fan-shaped gravel slab we picked up in the tunnel?"
Xiao Yuying opened her lips slightly and said quickly: "Where is the thing? Take it out and show it to me."
Huang Yu turned around and shouted to the disciples of Sanwang Hall: "Hey! Who has that fan-shaped gravel slab? Get it quickly."
Not long after, a Sanwang Palace disciple came out with a fan-shaped gravel slab. After all, this matter was of great importance, and he did not dare to hide the fan-shaped gravel slab privately.
After Lin Diao saw the fan-shaped gravel slab in the hands of the Sanwang Palace disciples, he immediately took out the fan-shaped gravel slab he had hidden and said, "Brother, how come the thing in his hand is the same as what I am holding? Could it be that... ..."
There were four accessible tunnels, and he and Fei Jiu walked through one of them, while Xiao Yuying and Huang Yu walked through another one.
Moreover, they all picked up fan-shaped gravel slabs in the tunnel, and the sand door in front of them had four fan-shaped grooves.
Xiao Yuying held two fan-shaped gravel slabs in her hands, jumped up, and heard two bangs. The two fan-shaped gravel slabs were tightly buckled on the fan-shaped grooves.
After seeing it, Huang Yu said with certainty: "Sure enough, if you want to open this sand door, you need to gather four fan-shaped gravel slabs, otherwise it will not be able to be opened at all."
Xiao Yuying did not look at Huang Yu and said directly: "The remaining two fan-shaped gravel slabs should be in the other two tunnels. Send a few people to find them immediately."
Huang Yu nodded and was about to call someone when the disciples of Sanwang Palace who were standing quietly behind him suddenly began to become restless.
I saw four people walking through the crowded crowd towards the flying vultures, and these four people were naturally the goshawk, sparrow hawk, red-bellied eagle, and gray-faced vulture in the raptor team.
The moment they saw the four of them, not only Xiao Yuying and Huang Yu frowned slightly, but Fei Jiu and Lin Diao also frowned.
The mission of the four of them was to stop the people from Daofu and Jiange sects, but they appeared here at this moment. From this, it can be seen that something must have happened outside.
Lin Diao looked at the four embarrassed people with some confusion, secretly thinking that something was wrong. He then turned his gaze to Fei Jiu and said, "Brother..."
Without waiting for Huangyu, Xiao Yuying stepped forward to ask. Feijiu immediately walked over and asked, "Why are you here? What happened outside?"
"Don't mention it. Wu Daoda, Li Miao, and Xian Qingyun teamed up with two people from the Ghost Sect to sneak attack at night. We were unprepared, so...we were defeated." Goshawk's face was stained with blood, and his face was exposed. He said sadly.
The Sparrowhawk standing beside the Goshawk said nothing, holding the scabbard tightly in his left hand.
The red-bellied eagle said: "Brother, the one who attacked us is the pretty boy from Guimen."
The gray-faced eagle added: "There is also the guy in black who likes to drink. He is the same as the pretty guy."
The two people talking about the pretty boy and the man in black who likes to drink are naturally Zi Yang and Zhu Feng.
"Failed?!" Huang Yu's face turned cold, and he asked: "What do you mean by defeated? I have more than two hundred elite disciples in Sanwang Palace, and under your leadership, even the Dao Mansion, Can’t you even handle the remaining defeated soldiers in Jiange?”
"Tell me, how many disciples of our Sanwang Palace have been lost this time?"
Although Xiao Yuying didn't speak, there was a hint of dissatisfaction on her fair face, and her smart eyes were a little dim.
Defeat is not scary to her. What is scary is how many people the four people in front of her will bring back to her. That is the most important thing.
Goshawk hesitated for a while, then said with difficulty: "They started so quickly that we didn't even have time to react..."
Huang Yu glared at him and said sternly: "Why are you talking so far? Just tell me how many Sanwang Palace disciples are coming back with you?"
Goshawk lowered his head and whispered: "Only... there are four of us. As for the others... they all died tragically under the sharp blades of Wu Daoda and others."
Huang Yu was shocked when he heard this: "What?!"
Xiao Yuying's lips opened slightly, her delicate body staggered back a few steps, her expression turned extremely ugly. It was hard to imagine that not one of the more than two hundred people in Sanwang Hall survived.
Lin Diao's pupils were slightly dilated, with an incredible expression: "This..."
Feijiu was stunned for a long time. He had also seen the strength of the leaders of Daofu and Jiange. He still couldn't believe that Wu Daoda and others could defeat Cang Ying and others.
Huang Yu stood beside Xiao Yuying and whispered: "Yu Ying, more than two hundred people died at this time. We have suffered too much loss."
Feijiu immediately turned back and said in a pleading tone: "Miss Xiao Yuying, can you please look at my face and give them a few chances to make a crime and make meritorious service?"
Although Xiao Yuying was angry in her heart, it was the time when she was employing people, and it was hard for her to say unpleasant words. If she angered them, she would suffer even more losses.
Her flat little chest rose and fell. After exhaling heavily, she forced a smile and said, "Forget it. Let them find the fan-shaped gravel slab."
As soon as she said these words, not only Huang Yu's expression changed, but even the disciples of Sanwang Palace who had been listening for a long time were a little disappointed.
Feijiu and other members of the Birds of Prey team expressed their thanks: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Miss Xiao Yuying."
Lin Diao pointed to the fan-shaped pattern in the groove of the sand door and said to the four of them: "Did you see the two fan-shaped gravel slabs buckled in the groove? You go to the tunnel where no one has ever walked and look for the other two."
The gray-faced vulture stared at the groove in the sand door for a long time, and immediately said: "I have a piece in my hand."
As he spoke, he took out the fan-shaped gravel slab from the Lingxuan bag and then handed it to the flying eagle.
The Jayhawk, who had been silent for a long time, saw the fan-shaped gravel slab that the Gray-faced Vulture took out, and said, "Since the Gray-faced Vulture can find this thing, I think it's better to let him go back and find it by himself."
The goshawks and red-bellied eagles nodded one after another. They were exhausted from the long journey. If they could take a good rest, they would not miss it.
Just as the flying eagle was about to speak, the gray-faced eagle smiled and agreed: "Okay! I'll go!"
Lin Diao came to the side of the flying eagle and whispered: "Brother, is it too dangerous to let the gray-faced eagle go alone?"
Others may not know it, but several people in the Birds of Prey team know very well that the gray-faced vulture has well-developed limbs and a simple mind.
Besides, there is a colony of crazy-blooded ants that will appear here at some point, and Feijiu does not dare to let Gray-faced Vulture go alone. He said: "Miss Xiao Yuying, let him take a few people from Sanwang Palace with him. Go, would you like to watch?"
Just as Huang Yu was about to speak, Xiao Yuying took the lead and said, "Let him take five people."
She didn't dare to let the Gray-faced Vulture take more people. If he took too many people, she wouldn't know how many people would survive. Not letting him take more people would arouse the suspicion of the Birds of Prey team.
After much deliberation, she had no choice but to use the lives of the five Sanwang Palace disciples to stabilize them first, and then settle the score with them after they got out of the Huangsha ruins.
another place
Ziyang and Zhufeng encountered some setbacks, but fortunately they worked together, helped each other, and overcame the difficulties together.
Zhufeng's face turned pale, and he was drinking from a wine bottle in his hand. It was obvious that he was still a little shocked by what just happened.
Ziyang saw him drinking sip after sip, and hurriedly reminded him: "Stop drinking, be serious. If you encounter danger later, I won't save you."
Zhufeng smiled awkwardly and said, "Zi Yang, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I'm a timid person. This wine~"
As he spoke, he stumbled on something, and immediately fell to the sand. The wine in the wine bottle splashed out, all over his face.
"No. What the hell is this!" Zhufeng wiped the drink from his face, immediately turned over and sat on the ground, kicking aside the smooth thing as hard as a stone that tripped him.
Zi Yang knelt down curiously and picked up the smooth gravel that was kicked far away by Zhufeng. It was about the size of a palm and about half a foot thick.
Even though it is made of gravel, it is very strong, much harder than ordinary stones, and heavier. It is obviously solid inside, otherwise Zhufeng would not trip over it.
Ziyang weighed the gravel in his palm, looked at Zhufeng sitting on the ground, and joked: "Zhufeng, this gravel is pretty good. I feel like if it hits your forehead, you will be hit directly." Smashed to death."
Zhufeng just kicked the gravel a few times with his feet, and he could guess its weight. He looked up and took a sip of wine and said, "Ziyang, what are you doing with it? Isn't this just a stone made of gravel? Well."
Zi Yang held up the gravel with his left hand and pointed at the glittering milky white gravel with his right hand. He said seriously: "You may not notice that it is surrounded by tiny yellow sand particles, but the gravel inside is all milky white. Don’t you think it looks great in the candlelight?”
"It's very good..." As soon as the words came to his mouth, Zhufeng immediately shook his head and said: "What's so good about this? It's just a piece of gravel."
He originally wanted to persuade Ziyang to give him the gravel, but it was obvious that Ziyang couldn't put it down, so he didn't say anything directly.
Zi Yang put the gravel in the holy bag, smiled and said to Zhufeng, "I want to give it to Hua Yao, she will definitely like it."
Zhufeng originally wanted to give it to Hua Yao, but after hearing what Zi Yang said just now, he smiled and said: "Zi Yang, I saw that stone first, and it tripped me up, look... ...Can you give it to me?"
"Give it to you?" Zi Yang thought for a moment and shook his head hurriedly: "No! No! You kicked it away just now. If you like it, how could you kick it away?"
"No, no."
Zhufeng explained patiently: "No, Ziyang, the light was too dark just now and I didn't see its shape clearly, so I kicked it away."
Without thinking, Zi Yang immediately refused: "No, no. I already said I would give it to Huayao, but you said it too late. I won't give it to you."
