I don't know what Wei Nanshan has researched that makes both the Yin and Yang worlds value him so much, but since I have promised Hua Yingxiong, I must rescue him.
"Three of you, it seems we will be traveling together again."
After listening to Li Zhiyi's words, I smiled and said to the three Liaodong brothers.
The purpose of the three of them is to find the Bingdi Lotus, and I want to rescue Wei Nanshan. Now that the two are in the same place, I can save a lot of time and let the three brothers continue to lead the way.
"Master, you are kind to us three brothers. You are our most noble friend. It is an honor for us three brothers to be able to help you!"
The bald man took his two brothers and said with cupped hands.
"You don't want to call me superior. Since we are friends, you can call me by my name."
I reported my name, and then introduced Bai Ze and others to the three brothers. Then the bald head said my name and the name of the two brothers respectively.
"My name is Zhang Xiaohua, and my two brothers' names are Zhou Xiaohong and Li Xiaomin."
Unexpectedly, although the three Liaodong brothers were born tall and thick, their names were so gentle. If someone who didn't know heard these names for the first time, they would probably mistake them for three little girls.
After resting for a while and preparing some dry food, we planned to continue to the top of the mountain.
"Brother Cheng, how will he deal with it?"
Bai Ze pointed at Li Zhiyi and said.
"Mr. Cheng, I have told you everything I know. You promised me you would let me go!"
Li Zhiyi said with a look of horror: "You won't break your promise, will you?"
I narrowed my eyes slightly: "Don't worry, I, Cheng Yi, am not the kind of villain who goes back on my word, but before we rescue Wei Nanshan, you should stay here for the time being."
After saying that, before Li Zhiyi could react, I struck directly with my palm knife.
Li Zhiyi groaned suddenly and fainted.
"Zhang Xiaohua, please find a rope and tie him up."
I said to Zhang Xiaohua.
Li Zhiyi is on the official wanted list, not to mention I don't know whether what he said is true or false, so naturally I can't let him go easily.
But compared to finding Wei Nanshan, he is not that important, so I decided to tie him up first and wait until we come down from the snow mountain before making a decision.
Zhang Xiaohua quickly found a hemp rope and tied Li Zhiyi tightly. After that, we walked out of the wooden house and prepared to continue to the top of the snow-capped mountains.
Zhang Xiaohua took out the scroll, looked at it carefully for a while, and then pointed upward.
"Go this way!"
This time we did not go back the way we came, but followed the slope behind the cabin and started climbing straight up.
We were already halfway up the mountain, the slope was steep, there was nothing to hold on to with our hands, and there was thick snow under our feet. Before we even climbed a step up, we had to stop and stabilize ourselves before continuing.
Therefore, our traveling speed also slowed down a lot.
I don’t know how long we’ve been walking, but the snow-capped mountain top is getting closer and closer to us, and it seems to be less than a few hundred meters away.
But at this moment, the snow under our feet suddenly disappeared, and a stone ladder as smooth as jade appeared in front of us so suddenly.
The entire stone staircase is made of white marble. It is roughly estimated that there are more than a hundred steps, extending all the way to the top of the mountain.
At the end of the stone staircase, a black temple stood there, looming.
"What is this place?"
I felt something was wrong, so I immediately stopped and asked Zhang Xiaohua.
"I do not know,"
Zhang Xiaohua scratched his head and said: "There is no sign on the map. It should have been built recently by people from the City of the Dead."
"We're about to reach the top of the mountain anyway. We'll find out if we go up and see."
With that said, Zhang Xiaohua took Zhou Xiaohong and Li Xiaomin onto the stone stairs, planning to rush up in one go.
However, as soon as the three of them took two steps, a voice of anger suddenly came out.
"How dare you, such a young person, break into the Snowy Mountains!"
I looked up and saw a figure appearing more than ten meters in front of the three Liaodong brothers.
This man was riding a tall horse and holding a spear. He was surrounded by black mist, and a sinister aura filled the surrounding area.
Judging from his attire, he looks very similar to the undead knights under the King of the Undead. Could it be...
"Who do you think you are, dare to say that our three Liaodong brothers are young people?"
Zhang Xiaohua immediately became angry: "Second brother and third brother, fuck him for me!"
Zhou Xiaohong and Li Xiaomin next to them drew their swords and rushed towards the undead knight from both sides.
"court death!"
The undead knight roared angrily and slammed the spear in his hand on the ground. Zhou Xiaohong and Li Xiaomin immediately grunted and flew backwards.
Bai Ze and I quickly took a step forward and blocked the waists of the two of them, so that they didn't fall down the mountain.
"Hmph, what about the three and four brothers from Liaodong? This is the forbidden area of His Majesty the King of the Dead. Anyone who dares to break in will be killed without mercy!"
The undead knight held a spear and said majestically.
boom!
However, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden roar.
The undead knight trembled, and a hole appeared between his eyebrows. There were countless cracks on the edge of the hole, and they were still spreading to all sides.
The undead knight's face was filled with astonishment, and he was about to ride his horse forward, but before he took two steps, his tall body was scattered on the ground and turned into a mass of fragments.
The corpse horse under his crotch neighed, jumped into the mountain stream, and disappeared.
Zhang Xiaohua, with a cold face, put away the still smoking firearm.
"If you dare to look down on our three Liaodong brothers, this will be your fate!"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiaohua turned around and looked at me with a smile.
"Mr. Cheng, the obstacle has been lifted, you can continue walking."
I didn't say much, I just extended a thumbs up to Zhang Xiaohua to express my appreciation for him.
Even though the undead knight was killed mainly because he underestimated the enemy, the cooperation of the three Liaodong brothers was indeed quite skillful and impressive.
But at this time, I still have some questions in my mind.
Although the firearm in Zhang Xiaohua's hand was very powerful, the undead knight was not an entity, but existed in the form of a soul. Why was he killed with one shot?
"Mr. Cheng, this is what I just used,"
As if seeing my doubts, Zhang Xiaohua opened his palm directly, revealing a large bullet.
I took a closer look and realized that the bullet was no different from an ordinary bullet, but its surface was silver-white with fine runes drawn on it, making it look like a work of art.
It seems that this bullet is very similar to the rune sword we built. It achieves the effect of causing damage to the undead by drawing mana runes on the surface of the bullet.
Thinking of this makes me even more puzzled.
