Chapter 54: Deep in the Dungeon

Hantrick let out a sharp roar, and the criminals hiding in the darkness rushed out.

Arthur chanted the language of the Western Continent loudly, stretched out his hand and pounded his chest three times, then raised the giant sword, and the whole person emitted a faint white light, rushing towards the criminals.

Lingquanzi took a step back, rubbed his hands together, and countless sparks flew out, and then the sparks grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. After flying three feet away, they were already the size of a human head. After landing, they exploded with a bang, and flames rolled.

Qi Xuansu did not draw his sword, but took out two pistols and spoke directly with the projectiles engraved with the evil-breaking talisman.

Thanks to the prosperity of maritime trade, the exchanges between the East and the West became closer. The development of firearms in the East Continent was largely influenced by the West Continent. For example, the striker fire gun was invented by the West Continent and later spread to the East Continent.

Later, the two sides had obvious differences in their understanding of firearms. The West Continent valued the fire gun itself more, while the East Continent believed that the fired projectile was the key.

So the two sides took a completely different path. The firearms of the Western Continent gradually tended to abandon the projectile, while the firearms of the Eastern Continent continued to work hard on the projectile, and regarded the fire gun as a tool to launch the projectile.

So the Eastern Continent quickly transitioned from the lead bullets separated from the ammunition to the integrated paper shell fixed bullets, and then from the paper shell fixed bullets to the metal shell fixed bullets, and began to draw various talismans on the shells. Whether it is the "Dragon Hand Gun" or the "Blue Bird Hand Gun", their main power does not come from the hand gun itself, but from the projectile.

Qi Xuansu did not shoot randomly, but waited until the flames of Lingquanzi dispelled the blood mist and darkness, and then shot with a targeted target, and he also remembered Arthur's reminder that the key to dealing with these criminals is the heart.

Although the projectiles he used were not silver bullets, the evil-breaking talisman had a very considerable killing power against all non-human creatures. Moreover, the projectiles Zhang Yuelu gave him were not the projectiles used by ordinary Tiangang Hall Taoist priests, but the "Dragon Eye B-3" projectiles specially provided by the deputy hall master. They used the latest gunpowder developed by Tianji Hall, which was three times more powerful than ordinary gunpowder.

Qi Xuansu pressed down the hammer and pulled the trigger. A ball of fire burst out from the chamber of the "Shenlong Hand Gun". Almost at the same time, a criminal's entire chest was directly blown open with a big hole. Through the big hole, the scene behind him could be seen. Because of the evil-breaking talisman, the wound showed no signs of healing.

The criminal howled in pain and knelt softly on the ground.

Qi Xuansu was also surprised by the huge power of the hand gun. If the Qingluan Guard had such a hand gun in his hand and hit him, he would have no chance of survival.

After a brief shock, another criminal screamed and rushed towards Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu unceremoniously raised the "Bluebird Hand Gun" with the hammer already pressed in his other hand and pulled the trigger again.

Although the power of the "Bluebird Hand Gun" is inferior to that of the "Dragon Hand Gun", and the bullets equipped cannot be compared with the "Dragon Eye B3", it is also a fixed bullet specially made by Tianji Hall, which has the effect of breaking evil.

At such a close distance, a deep black hole appeared between the eyebrows of the criminal, and the forward momentum was blocked. He fell to the ground with a "bang" and did not move.

Qi Xuansu put away the "Bluebird Hand Gun" and reloaded the "Dragon Hand Gun".

Arthur also noticed Qi Xuansu's actions and deliberately blocked in front of Qi Xuansu to help him stop several criminals. Wherever the giant sword passed, the criminals retreated and avoided.

But the most eye-catching one was Zhang Yuelu.

She told Qi Xuansu that she didn't need the "Dragon Hand Gun", and this was not a polite remark. Zhang Yuelu stared at Hantrick closely, and when she attacked, the five-colored true energy surged, leaving no time for the opponent to breathe. Surprisingly, although her attack was swift, she always gave people a sense of ease and ease like strolling in the garden.

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Yuelu caught up with Hantrick, and her five fingers were still like hooks, determined to let Hantrick die here in the same way.

Hantrick stretched out his hand and summoned a Western Continent rapier made of blood, suddenly stopped his body, and stabbed towards Zhang Yuelu's chest. The speed was so fast that only a streak of blood could be seen breaking through the darkness.

That's not all. This blood sword was condensed from blood, not made of gold and iron, so it was like a snake's tongue, changing things to the extreme, making it extremely difficult for people to dodge.

However, Zhang Yuelu did not think of dodging. He just spread the "Five-Air Smoke Net" all over his body, like a thick and airtight armor, leaving no flaws, allowing Hantrick's blood sword to fall on the five-colored smoke.

Hantrick's face changed drastically in an instant.

Because he clearly felt that although this group of smoke was not hard, it was very resilient. It not only dissolved most of the force of his sword, but also faintly sent a rebound force, like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

That would be fine. When Hantrick wanted to withdraw his sword, he found that his blood sword seemed to be stuck in a muddy swamp, and it was extremely difficult to withdraw it.

Seeing Zhang Yuelu's five fingers fall again, Hantrick could only reluctantly give up the blood sword, and the whole person turned into a ball of blood mist to avoid Zhang Yuelu's claw.

But the root of the sinner lies in blood. The blood sword was made of his own blood. Losing the blood sword is like a gecko breaking its tail, which still damages the foundation. It will take a long time to make up for it completely.

The fight lasted only a split second. In the blink of an eye, Hantrick re-condensed into a human form in the distance, but his face became paler.

An obvious fact was placed in front of him. He was no match for this woman. This was not about losing in one and a half moves, but losing in whatever way he fought. If he didn't want to die here, he would have to think of other ways. .

Hantrick screamed, turned around and dashed towards the depths of the dungeon.

Those ordinary criminals also receded like the tide.

Zhang Yuelu did not rush ahead because of greed for success, lest he fell into someone else's trick or a backlash.

Arthur grabbed a criminal who had time to escape, threw him heavily on the ground, and was about to chop off his head with a sword.

Lingquanzi stopped him: "Leave it to me."

When Arthur heard this, he stopped what he was doing and saw Lingquanzi's eyes suddenly brightened. The sinner then yelled and fainted.

After a moment, Lingquanzi reached out and pointed at the sinner lying on the ground and said the word "get up". The sinner stood up unsteadily, his face dull.

Lingquanzi ordered: "Lead the way."

The guilty people actually understood this Central Plains mandarin, nodded, turned around slowly, and walked towards the depths of the dungeon.

This is the unique magical power of the alchemist after entering the dream, forcibly invading the opponent's soul, and in a short period of time, controlling the opponent's mind, making him a puppet who obeys orders. In addition, it can also cause blindness, deafness, madness, self-commitment, etc.

Under the leadership of this sinner, the four of them continued deep into the dungeon, bypassing many traps set by the sinners in advance, which made people marvel at the magician's methods.

In fact, this was an intentional arrangement by the real person in charge of Zhang Yuelu, who provided Zhang Yuelu with two assistants, one civil and one martial, that is, a martial artist and an alchemist. Sun Yongfeng was not good at fighting with others, but Xu Kou was a genuine martial artist. It was just a plan. Unable to keep up with the changes, Xu Kou was injured and was unable to come, leaving only Lingquanzi, an alchemist.

Soon, the four of them came to the depths of the dungeon, which was even more open. There were many cross-shaped torture racks with many bones tied with iron chains, as well as bell-shaped iron cages hung on the dome with iron chains. , which is also full of bones.

Then there were all kinds of torture instruments that he knew or didn't recognize. Arthur recognized the famous "Iron Maiden". From the outside, it looked like an upright human-shaped coffin. The inside was hollow, with two opposite sides on the left and right. There are sharp nails inside the door. Once the door is closed, the people inside will feel the pain of the nails piercing their bodies.

Just looking at the degree of weathering of these bones, it seems that they were not recently created, as they have all been dead for more than a hundred years.

Lingquanzi turned his left hand over and took out another bead from his sleeve. The overall color was deep, but there was a faint fiery red color in the center, just like an eye pupil.

This is the "Fengyan Jiajiu" produced by Tianjitang. It is made from the secret medicine of fierce fire and has amazing power.

Lingquanzi handed "Fengyan Jiajiu" into the puppet's hands, and then patted it on the shoulder.

The puppet held "Fengyan Jiajiu" tightly in his palm and continued to walk forward.

After walking about a hundred steps, two blood shadows appeared from the darkness and flew towards the puppet.

At this moment, the puppet detonated the "Fengyan Jiajiu" in his hand, and a flame several feet high suddenly rose up, engulfing it and the two blood shadows.

"Fengyan Jiajiu" is even more powerful than "Dragon Eyes Yijiu" and is flammable when exposed to water.

In an instant, the fire spread rapidly and turned into a sea of ​​​​fire. A sinner hiding in the dark was unable to dodge and was contaminated a little. He immediately turned into a burning man and collided with the surrounding sinners. Other sinners also followed. It was burning, rolling all over the ground, hoarse and wailing, and there was even the smell of burnt flesh. The situation was indescribably miserable.

Qi Xuansu was quite envious. In fact, Sanren also had similar magical powers, but they could only be acquired at the stage of Heaven and Human.

Lingquanzi took out another "Fengyan Jiajiu" and handed it to Qi Xuansu's hand, saying: "Deacon Qi, take one for self-defense. After injecting the true energy for about three breaths, you can throw it out. Remember, remember."

Qi Xuansu put the "Phoenix Eye Jiajiu" into his sleeve pocket and nodded in agreement.

The raging flames spread rapidly, and ordinary criminals were unable to withstand the power of the fire and turned into charred corpses one after another. However, in the deepest part of the dungeon, there were countless blood-red rays of light flowing around like gauze, making the spreading flames stop there and unable to move forward at all. .

Behind the "gauze", there is a hexagonal coffin with a wide top and a narrow bottom as high as a person, which is completely different from Daxuan's coffin.

At this time, the lid of the coffin has been opened, and inside lies a mummy dressed in the dress of a Western Continent noble. There is no trace of flesh and blood on the body, but there is an extra layer of gray skin that looks like dry tree bark, and the eye sockets are more than the skeleton. Hollow, full of wrinkles, very hideous and terrifying.

Under the coffin, there is a mysterious magic circle painted with blood.
