Chapter 205 Cover Your Ears
Seeing Cao Qiupu leaping down, Miss Lingfei and Cao Qiupu looked at each other.
They are now working for someone else, so naturally they cannot stand by and watch their leader get into trouble.
Immediately follow...
"Wait, the situation down there is unclear, wait for my news."
Chu Qing opened his mouth and called them to stop, then he suddenly fell into the valley.
After hearing Chu Qing's words, the couple looked at each other and accepted the advice.
There's a lot of miasma down there, and no one knows what the exact scene is like.
If so many people rush down together, it might indeed have a counterproductive effect.
At this time, Chu Qing had already reached the bottom.
Tie Lingyun was seen holding Tie Xiaofeng in one hand and dealing with three enemies with the other hand.
The three men were in a daze, two of them had the bloody word "兵" on their foreheads, and one had the word "卒" on it.
The three men attacked separately and together, their punches were random and powerful, but there was no pattern to their attacks.
Tie Lingyun was more than capable of handling the situation with one hand.
The master of the Tie Hall has his own unique skill called [Clouds and Mist Surrounding Thousand Peaks Palm]. The palm moves are endless and mysterious, and are both nimble and heavy. It can be said to be an extremely superb palm technique.
When he was at Luochen Villa, Chu Qing had seen Tie Chuqing single-handedly deal with those third-rate characters in the martial arts world.
In order not to reveal her origins, she only took its meaning, which was already very mysterious.
Make it difficult for those underworld scum to resist.
What Tie Lingyun displayed now was even more fierce.
Then three consecutive bangs were heard, and three palms landed on the three "chess pieces" respectively, knocking them back with blood spurting from their mouths.
However, it was obvious that something was wrong with these people. Even though Tie Lingyun had amazing palm power and hit them so hard that their chests collapsed.
They were also unaware, with blood gushing out of their mouths. When they landed, they wanted to rush up and fight.
However, he did not realize that he had already fallen into the poisonous miasma.
The poisonous miasma was truly fierce. By the time the three people walked out of it, their skin had been corroded by it, revealing their bloody muscle tissue and bones.
Tie Lingyun felt nervous, seeing that these chess pieces had reached this point and still wanted to rush forward to kill.
Just as he was about to beat the three of them to death with his palm strike, he saw the three of them fall to their knees on the ground and die.
Chu Qing also came to Tie Lingyun at this time:
"how's it going?"
Tie Lingyun came back to his senses, and hurriedly patted Tie Xiaofeng on the cheek, and transferred another stream of internal energy into him.
Tie Xiaofeng finally woke up and upon seeing Tie Lingyun, he quickly said:
"Dad, it's bad, my second brother has been captured by them!"
This sounds familiar, as if someone who carries luggage always says something in a similar format.
Chu Qing and Tie Lingyun looked at each other and saw that the other looked unhappy.
Beitang Zun's words finally came true, and those missing "chess pieces" turned out to be all at the bottom of the Ghost Valley.
"Although I had guessed this a long time ago, I never expected that these chess pieces would actually be here...
"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have let them take the lead."
Chu Qing's face looked a little ugly.
These chess pieces are moving at the bottom of the Ghost Valley, and their purpose is unknown.
Now that Tie Xiaoyang has been captured, it’s hard to say what the outcome will be.
Tie Lingyun is worthy of being the Grand Master of Tiexue Hall after all. He said in a deep voice:
"Feng'er, tell Dad how they took your second brother away?"
Tie Xiaofeng quickly spoke up and explained the situation.
The process was simple. After the two people came down, they didn't see any chess pieces at first.
He wanted to ask the people waiting upstairs to come down, but this group of chess pieces rushed out.
Tie Xiaoyang was caught off guard and was directly taken away by several chess pieces.
Tie Xiaofeng resisted twice but was knocked unconscious. When he was about to be carried away, Tie Lingyun appeared and grabbed him back.
The whole thing happened so fast.
Completely caught off guard.
In fact, Chu Qing also discovered this.
The situation of these "chess pieces" is different from that of normal people. Although they have pulse and heartbeat, it is much weaker than that of normal people and is extremely difficult to be detected.
This is not only true for the chess pieces in front of us, but also for the fifteen chess pieces that were used to form the life and death chess formation.
When Chu Qing first visited the Liehuo Hall at night to look for Beitang Lie, he passed by the hall but did not notice the two [Soldiers].
On the one hand, Chu Qing did not expect that there was someone hiding in the empty main hall.
My attention was not on the dark, and I never really looked closely.
Another reason was that the movements of these two [soldiers] were too light.
Fortunately, although the injury was minor, he was still alive.
Judging from the fight with Tie Lingyun just now, although they are fearless, they will still die if the injuries are too serious.
Moreover, the poisonous miasma under the Ghost God Gorge is indeed as severe as the rumors say.
Not long after the three chess pieces entered, they began to lose a layer of skin.
If we stay a little longer, I'm afraid there will be nothing left.
After listening to Tie Xiaofeng's statement, Chu Qing glanced at Tie Lingyun:
"It seems that their purpose is to arrest people..."
But when he said this, Chu Qing frowned slightly, and he always felt that something was wrong.
Tie Lingyun took a deep breath:
"No matter what, we have to explore this Ghost Gorge. No matter what they want to do, we can't let them succeed...
“However, you don’t need to worry about your son, you need to focus on the overall situation.
"If...if my son unfortunately dies, then we can only blame his bad luck."
"There's no time for that."
Chu Qing raised his head:
"Come down."
As his voice rang out, figures were seen falling into the valley.
Just a quick glance and he found that Tie Xiaoyang had disappeared.
Chu Qing briefly explained the situation:
"We just have to speed up. No matter what, we can't let anyone get into trouble right under our noses."
Beitang Zun nodded repeatedly.
Tie Lingyun still wanted to persuade him, but when he thought about Tie Xiaoyang's life and death, he couldn't be so ruthless.
It was already the limit for him to say such words to Chu Qing.
Immediately clasped his hands and said:
"In that case, thank you very much."
Everyone said nothing more and continued along the planned route.
However, this path is far less easy to travel than the previous one that crossed the Guishen Gorge.
Occasionally there are places filled with poisonous miasma, which makes the space for passing very small.
In addition, the surrounding vision is unclear and the environment underfoot is difficult to discern, making walking much more troublesome.
Occasionally, a scream could be heard, which meant someone had fallen into the swamp.
Fortunately, there are many experts present. As long as not all of them fall into the trap and are unable to save themselves, it is easy to get people out.
As Tie Xiaofeng went forward, he gradually calmed down after the experience at the beginning and began to wonder:
"How did this miasma come about?"
Seeing his son's confusion, Tie Lingyun said to him:
"Poisonous miasma is often caused by the accumulation of fallen leaves, which become toxic over time.
“However, these poisons are not very strong at first and are often called miasma.
"The miasma can at most make people comatose... but animals in the forest may occasionally enter this place, become comatose, and eventually die in it." The rotting vegetation, coupled with the rotting animal corpses, are mixed with plague and disease.
"It was all mixed together and couldn't be shaken off, and eventually it became the climate and the miasma."
Beitang Zun also said upon hearing this:
"The Grand Master is indeed well-informed. Young Master Tie must know that once miasma is formed, fewer and fewer people will come to such places.
“The mountain wind can’t blow away the leaves, and they keep falling. Animals often die in the air… and the miasma is getting more and more severe.
“Of course, the miasma in Guishen Gorge is so strong, there must be other things mixed in.
“But the details are not something that others can know.
"It is the accumulation of hundreds and thousands of years, and it is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight."
Tie Xiaofeng nodded:
"I see."
Chu Qing frowned at this time, rubbed his nose, and looked at Wenrou:
"Is it okay?"
In addition to the miasma, there is another thing that makes this place quite uncomfortable.
That's the smell in the air.
After years of rotting, the taste will naturally not be good.
Chu Qing and the others felt that the smell was unpleasant, as if they had fallen into a pit of feces and urine.
For someone like Wenrou, who has a sensitive nose, being in this place is no different from purgatory on earth.
But Wenrou's appearance was still calm. Hearing this, he looked at Chu Qing, a little confused:
"what happened?"
"Don't you think this place smells bad?"
Chu Qing asked.
Gentlely pointed at her nose:
"I knew it wouldn't taste good down there, so I stuffed something in there."
"…So you're breathing through your mouth now?"
"Uh-huh."
Nod gently.
Chu Qing moved his lips, wanting to ask something, but finally chose to keep silent.
I feel like this is probably a multiple-choice question.
Which is more acceptable: smelling the smell of feces and urine into your nose or inhaling it into your stomach?
Chu Qing's nose was not as sharp as Wenrou's, so he found the former acceptable.
But for Wenrou... maybe it's the latter?
Or maybe she didn't think about it that way?
Chu Qing thought, if he didn't tell her the truth, this girl could still maintain a stable mentality. But after he told her the truth, would he let her face hell?
Apart from the occasional fall into a swamp and the unpleasant smell all around.
Along the way, everyone also saw many "chess pieces".
They wander aimlessly in the 'cracks' of the poisonous miasma, full of malice towards everyone.
The first thing he did when he saw the crowd was to attack them ruthlessly.
However, among those present, except for Tie Xiaofeng and Wen Rou who were slightly inferior, the others were all masters.
There was no need for Chu Qing to even take action, Cao Qiupu's [Seven Laws Heavenly Sound Sword Technique] would easily kill these "chess pieces".
In this way, the group soon approached a location marked in the map.
When everyone broke through the poisonous miasma and arrived here, they found that there was no road ahead, only swamps.
The entire swamp is not covered by poisonous miasma. Floating above the swamp is a huge cloud of fog, and visibility is very low.
Therefore, it is impossible to see what is hidden in the middle of the swamp.
“This desolate place below Guishen Gorge has been seldom visited by anyone for thousands of years.
"I'm afraid we are the only group of visitors besides the Tianxie Cult."
Tie Lingyun's eyes were condensed:
"Everyone needs to be careful, protect each other, and don't fall into the swamp."
Everyone nodded, and Chu Qing pulled Wenrou's wrist.
She has learned Feixu Qingyan Kung Fu, and her lightness Kung Fu is not comparable to that of ordinary people, but you can't say for sure what will happen. Chu Qing helps her to avoid any accidents.
Now everyone stepped into the swamp carefully and looked for a path through the mud.
After all, a swamp is not a pool. You won't fall into it immediately once you step into it. As long as there is a possibility of gaining leverage, it will hardly pose a threat to an expert.
The group of people walked slowly towards the place marked on the map.
When they were almost halfway through the swamp, Nian Xin suddenly became furious:
“Who touched my feet!!”
Tie Xiaofeng felt that this was outrageous:
“Let alone who would touch your feet when you walk, just look at the people in the field right now, every one of them has clean feet, all of them are covered in black, stale mud.
"Who is so desperate as to touch your feet?"
But before he could finish his words, Nian Xin had already kicked him out.
She was very strong to begin with, and when she kicked out, there was a loud splash, and a figure was kicked out from the swamp and flew into the fog.
Tie Xiaofeng widened his eyes:
"There really is someone hiding under the swamp, touching your feet... How addictive is that?"
Tie Lingyun slapped his son with a dark face. What nonsense was he talking about?
But Nian Xin's kick seemed to have disturbed a hornet's nest.
Then one could hear low roars coming from around the swamp.
In the fog, the specific situation cannot be seen clearly, but one can see that figures are emerging from the swamp, coming from all directions and surrounding everyone.
"It's the 'chess pieces'! There are so many of them!!"
Beitang Zun's face darkened.
Tie Lingyun shouted:
"Don't move rashly. The path here is unclear. Be careful of the poisonous miasma and your feet."
If you run around rashly, you might not only run into the poisonous miasma but also be poisoned to death.
It is also possible to get stuck in the mud and die on the spot.
But in this trance, I heard a voice from afar:
"Dad, save me!!"
“Xiaoyang!!”
Tie Lingyun immediately recognized the voice, and said to Chu Qing with a gloomy heart:
"I'll take the first step!!"
After all, I can't just let my son die tragically. I had no other choice before, but now that I have caught up with him, I naturally cannot let him go.
Without caring about anything else, Tie Lingyun flew towards the source of the sound.
Chu Qing wanted to stop it but it was too late...
Seeing the figures around him getting closer and closer, Chu Qing finally sighed:
"How can a great leader of the Iron Blood Hall be so disorganized and undisciplined...it's hard to lead the team."
After he finished speaking, he took a step forward.
Desolate ice crystals rose from under his feet and spread in all directions along the swamp.
At this moment, it seemed as if even the surrounding fog had frozen, and endless coldness spread... one zhang, two zhang... ten zhang... dozens of zhang!
Within a radius of several dozen feet, the coldness swept across the sky and covered the entire place.
Even the mist floating in the air was condensed at this moment and then fell from the air.
Suddenly, there was no fog in the entire swamp, and a group of chess pieces were seen, frozen in place in various postures.
But they are not ordinary people who have been poisoned, they can still struggle in this ice.
Unfortunately, Chu Qing didn't intend to give them such an opportunity.
He turned around and glanced at everyone present, and said softly:
"Cover your ears."
