Chapter 1360

The Black Armor Knights below shot arrows one after another, but its hinge-tail seemed to have eyes, blocking and parrying, intercepting most of the arrows. Wanzai Feng simply grabbed his long bow and fired three consecutive arrows, the interval between each arrow being no more than half a breath, fast and accurate.

The yellow tiger shook its hinge-tail to knock away the first two arrows, but the third arrow took advantage of the gap to pierce its hind leg, followed by a boom, and it exploded!

There was a burst talisman tied to the arrow.

The yellow tiger couldn't stand and fell from the cliff.

The Black Armor Knights below immediately spread out a large net, intending to catch them all in one go.

Seeing this, the porcupine let out a long howl and turned to burrow into the cave.

The instinct of a creature to escape death ultimately gained the upper hand; since the yellow tiger didn't care about it, it didn't care about the yellow tiger either.

"It's done, the porcupine is in the cave." He Lingchuan felt relieved and pointed at the yellow tiger, "Catch this one, and we can call it a night."

The yellow tiger was trapped in Zhu Erniang's net, struggling and rushing, using both claws and teeth, and even the hinge-tail wanted to cut the spider web.

Dong Rui walked out of the cave, holding a long spear, originally wanting to go up himself, but seeing the yellow tiger rolling back and forth in the net, he handed it to He Lingchuan: "Stab its hind neck, but don't kill it."

He didn't want to risk himself.

He Lingchuan took it casually, gently stabbed the spear tip into the yellow tiger's back, and thus harvested an astonishing roar.

He didn't know what medicine Dong Rui had smeared on the spear, but the yellow tiger struggled for a moment, its strength becoming weaker and weaker, and finally fell to the ground motionless.

"Still wood-transformation poison?" The works of a demon puppet master, sure enough, still had to be dealt with by a demon puppet master.

"Nonsense, how could I waste such a treasure?" Dong Rui felt it was a pity to use wood-transformation poison on the scorpion-python earlier, so how could he ruin such good experimental material now? And hundreds of zhang away, the demon puppet master on the flying ant discovered that the two red crystals embedded in the staff dimmed one after another.

Originally there were three in total, all emitting a faint light; one extinguished after the scorpion-python was captured, and at this moment, the other two couldn't escape the same fate.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" The demon puppet master was shocked, suddenly pressed his hand to his chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood with a puff.

These few monsters were exceptionally irritable, and to facilitate control, he had to establish a heart-blood connection with them. The demon puppet was taken away, and he felt empty inside—it was truly empty, his heart-blood was taken, and he himself immediately suffered a backlash.

What to do? His first thought was to follow and check, but those Black Armor soldiers had excellent archery skills, and this flying ant wasn't slow, but its turning ability was poor; if he went, he would just be delivering himself to the slaughter.

But he couldn't just leave it alone, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to report back.

Fortunately, fortunately he still had a few informants watching.

Here, the Black Armor Army untied the net, tied the unconscious yellow tiger into a bundle, and threw it into the cave.

Dong Rui suddenly remembered something and pulled another person out of the cave: Wuma Dan.

"Here you go." He threw Wuma Dan onto the ground, "Still, all essence, energy, and blood have been sucked away."

He Lingchuan took the Soul Box to test again, and sure enough, this person didn't even have a soul left.

"That monster eats really cleanly, only an empty skin bag is left."

At this time, the last batch of Black Armor soldiers also arrived on horseback, with a manor guard tied to the horse's back.

"Master, we caught this sentry from the corner tower. He was hiding on the tower just now and witnessed the whole process of the monster dealing with Wuma Dan."

"Oh?" He Lingchuan walked over with large strides, "What did you see?"

He was wearing a dragon-head mask, his whole body wreathed in black smoke, and his level of terror was no less than that of the white monster. The sentry swallowed his saliva: "I, that thing didn't know where it darted out from, and killed many people in the North Courtyard. I, I hid in the corner tower and escaped a disaster, and then the Manor Master came back, and that monster found, found him!"

"And then?"

"Its eyes were glowing with a strange green light, and the Manor Master froze as soon as he saw it." The sentry recalled the eerie scene he had seen and couldn't help but shudder, "I saw it get close to the Manor Master's face, and it stretched, stretched two tongues out of its own mouth, and probed into the Manor Master's nostrils!"

"Tongues?" The listeners all felt a chill, "What kind of tongues?"

"It was too far, I couldn't see clearly, I only knew they were red, thin and long." The sentry continued, "The Manor Master's body shook non-stop, like a sieve, but he didn't resist. Probably after three or five breaths, the monster seemed to be disturbed by something, let go of the Manor Master, and ran, ran away!"

He looked timidly at He Lingchuan: "After that, this master chased in."

He Lingchuan raised the key question: "What did that white monster look like?"

So this white monster sucked essence and spirit from the victim's nose; no wonder the unlucky ones were basically uninjured all over.

"A bit, a bit like a person, but very tall, two heads taller than me, very thin, arms very long, hairless all over, but with a tail." The sentry recalled carefully, "Its hands were as thin as tree branches, eyes, eyes were red! It ran especially fast."

He Lingchuan nodded to Wanzai Feng, who untied the sentry: "Get lost."

This person was overjoyed, bowed and said thank you several times, and ran away like flying.

Dong Rui walked back to Wuma Dan's side with a chisel and neatly opened the skull of the corpse, suddenly realizing: "So that monster eats brains. The deceased had no external injuries; I missed this."

During the inquiry, Wanzai Liang also checked the wounds of his companions beside him.

In the chaotic battle just now, five Black Armor Knights were injured, two of whom had more serious injuries; one was pierced in the leg bend by the porcupine's thorns and could only stand on one leg after dismounting; the other was pierced through his chest armor by the yellow tiger's hinge-tail.

He blocked the fierce tiger's sharp claws and fangs but ignored that the opponent also had a lethal weapon, so he almost paid the price with his life.

Fortunately, the quality of the battle armor specially made by Songyang Prefecture was excellent; otherwise, even his heart would have been shredded by this blow.

Even so, several broken armor plates had pierced into his chest. After continuing to fight for so long, until both demon puppets were caught, his body swayed a few times and almost fell off his horse.

Dong Rui immediately laid him down and checked the wound.

He Lingchuan ordered the other warriors to disperse and stand guard, not allowing any outsiders to see the process of them treating the wounds.

After a long while, Dong Rui said solemnly: "I'm afraid small fragments of the battle armor entered the blood and flowed into the heart along with it."

Wanzai Liang was anxious and blurted out: "Can't you take it out with a magnet?"

The injured warrior was named Pu Hua; although he wasn't a Bailong person, he was a good friend he had made in the army.

Wanzai Feng waved his hand at him; this kid was just too impulsive.

Dong Rui rolled his eyes: "Can you suck it out with a magnet? Do you know if the fragment is in the atrium or the ventricle? Aren't you afraid the fragment will cut the heart muscle again? Do you think you're very smart?"

A string of firecrackers left Wanzai Liang speechless.

It was still He Lingchuan who spoke: "How to save him?"

He didn't ask if he could be saved, only how to save him.

"Try not to move him." Dong Rui added, "Now we must first stabilize the injury; only when my Bat Demon Puppet returns can we proceed to the next step of treatment."

He Lingchuan immediately said: "Neither of the two wounded can ride a horse; you take them and go."

Dong Rui nodded, took the two seriously injured warriors and walked back into the cave; this huge cave entrance suddenly disappeared, something flashed across the cliff, and sank into the ground.

There was no cave on the cliff originally.

The white stone cave that appeared suddenly was just the big mouth of the Snail-Toad opening.

When Dong Rui made the Snail-Toad, he added the characteristics of a chameleon. In the past, when Cen Poqing's subordinates drove the Snail-Toad to capture monsters and refine pulp beads, they often used this trick.

Then He Lingchuan led the other warriors to mount their horses and left Greenery Manor amidst the chaos.

The manor master was dead, and there were Black Armor soldiers and several monsters killing people wantonly; Wuma Dan's subordinates had long since fled in defeat, and those with a little more courage slipped into the master's mansion to steal some things before leaving.

After this messy night passed and the sky was bright, the other clansmen of the Wuma clan finally had the courage to leave their hiding places.

Walking out of the manor and taking a look, everyone was shocked again:

On the tall and impressive manor gate tower, the heads of the father and son, Wuma Dan and Wuma Xu, were swaying in the breeze, facing the morning sun.

There was also a cloth banner—the material was torn from Wuma Xu's clothes—with a few bloody characters on it:

Crimes deserve punishment, evil meets evil retribution.

A dragon-head pattern was also drawn on the banner, also welcoming the rising sun.

Here, He Lingchuan led the knights to run for several miles, but heard the Soul-Sucking Mirror prompt: "You are being watched."

"Who?"

"A dozen zhang behind, there is a group of bees. Since you left Greenery Manor, they have been following behind." The Soul-Sucking Mirror added, "They are completely black, not honeybees."

It was spring now, and bees flying and butterflies dancing were common in the mountains and forests; ordinary people wouldn't notice this group of informants behind them at all.

It seemed that not only could they watch others, but the masked man also wanted to know the background of the Black Armor cavalry.

He Lingchuan asked Dong Rui through the Eyeball Spider: "What about that masked man? Is your bat still chasing him?"

Dong Rui was unhappy: "Just when I was examining Pu Hua's wounds, he jumped into the river."

Greenery Manor was built by the river. The Bat Demon Puppet couldn't go into the water, so this counted as losing the chase.

The opponent was also cautious. Was this a common trait of demon puppet masters? He Lingchuan immediately said: "Go to location number three to rendezvous; we also need to shake off the informants and treat the wounds by the way."

He had always been cautious, requiring the Black Armor cavalry to familiarize themselves with the surrounding terrain before every action, not only to design escape routes but also to mark locations that could be utilized.

In the future, as their reputation grew, more and more people would want to track their whereabouts and know their identities.

There were four locations he had marked near Greenery Manor; the so-called "location number three" was an abandoned mine tunnel, less than ten miles from Greenery Manor.

It was crisscrossed inside, and the former miners had almost dug the whole mountain empty.

It also had three exits; such a location was most suitable for hiding.

After arriving at location number three, the warriors dismounted and led their mounts in one after another.

This mine tunnel used to have mine carts, so the road surface was built relatively flat, and the horses could walk with their heads lowered.

A circle-cross mark was drawn at the mine tunnel entrance; this was left by Dong Rui, indicating that he had arrived earlier than the crowd.

The Snail-Toad moved underground, which was an incomparable advantage for traveling in such mountainous areas.

Wanzai Liang was the last one to enter and casually moved a large stone from the side to firmly block the mine tunnel entrance.
