586 I pity an orphan girl on the road, and I don't know if my sword is cold and my wrist is broken
Just when Gou Zhu Fengyue Tower encountered a frightened spirit, outside the outermost protective barrier around the Thorn Sky Tower, two Kapok City guards who guarded the Thorn Sky Tower appeared.
One of them was a tall and thin old man, while the other was a short and stocky young man, both of whom were carrying lanterns, and were carefully walking one foot at a foot deep and one foot shallow through the rugged mountain road in the low grass.
At night, the Skypier's protection is fully open, but these protective enchantments have been attacked countless times during the day, and no one can guarantee that it is now intact and leakless.
In order to prevent troublesome things from stumbling through these barriers, night patrols are still essential. This is also the one thing that scares all the guards the most.
Patrolling all the way to the outermost part of the eight-layer barrier, these guards have specially made array keys on their bodies, allowing them to freely pass through these pure yang barriers. But that, in turn, is where the danger lies.
They don't have the sight to see these barriers. The reference map can only be roughly estimated, and it is necessary to sprinkle "aura powder" to make the void enchantment show aura to determine the true location. This patrol is very troublesome, and if you are not careful, you will accidentally enter the boundary. But if they don't reach the outermost level, they will be punished for not doing their job.
The hungriest red-haired baboons tend to wander outside the protective enclosure in groups of three or five, and if they accidentally break out, they can become blood food for the baboons to scramble for.
The cultivation of the two of them is not high, but the foundation is about three or four times. In the dense forest, which was as deep as the sea, the two of them followed the faint light of the lantern in their hands, and with their own eyesight, they could also see the distance of two hundred paces around them.
But this "seeing" brings them more fear. Because under the dim light, objects near and far show a ghostly posture and atmosphere that is different from that of daytime. Any movement can make their hairs stand on end.
"We're not out of bounds, are we?" said the stocky young man with the lantern over and over again. The old white-haired old man, who was old, pretended to be careless and carried the long knife on his shoulder, and replied with a pretended lightheartedness:
"Don't worry, follow the old man, how can you get out of bounds. ”
"That'......" The young man suddenly stretched out a finger and pointed in a trembling direction: "That'...... What? a...... Alone?"
In the demon world, except for the real human race, any creature with a humanoid shape can be called a "human". Some of them are mortals left behind by the big clans, and they are born with a "human body" that is imperfect but generally human-like without cultivation, but they also have various wild demons and ghosts that they have cultivated by themselves in the jungle. Seeing a humanoid figure is not necessarily much safer than a group of red-haired baboons.
"Where?"
The old man was still a little unconvinced. But looking in the direction of the young man, he did see a dark figure kneeling quietly on the ground like a piece of wood, almost in harmony with the low trees around him. But he was sure it was a man, and that he was quite graceful, and that it seemed to be a woman.
Although the two were afraid, they walked cautiously in that direction. If the patrol in the middle of the night is not effective, neither Ji Yan's crazy old man nor Lei Yan's shady steward will spare them. The most important thing they need to know is whether the thing is outside or out of bounds.
If there were humanoids in the protective barrier and they didn't report it, they would have lost their jobs in Kapok City, and they would have been driven out of the city if they didn't get it. But false positives are just as much to blame.
The old man had already taken out the aura powder. When this powder was sprinkled out, the invisible array wall in the air would appear in the air, and they could confirm the specific location of the pure yang array wall. But now it's too far from that shadow. The old man hesitated, and let the young man go ahead, and he walked behind with some cringe.
At a distance of about twenty paces, before the old man could sprinkle the spiritual powder, the black shadow suddenly moved and raised his head.
The man's long hair, which had been hanging down, was parted smoothly to the sides, revealing a face that could be seen to be quite fair and naturally charming even in this dark night, and a pair of dark eyes that shimmered seductively in the gloomy bushes.
Seeing the two people carrying the lantern appear, she let out a low "ah", and then immediately got up and trotted all the way over, slamming into the invisible wall in the air with a bang. Immediately after that, she stuck to this pure yang enchantment, her hands weakly punched the formation wall, her beautiful eyes shot the light of fear and pleading, and she shouted in a low voice:
"Two big brothers, save me, let me in, there are red-haired baboons here!"
Although her punch was not heavy, it made a muffled sound from the Pure Yang Enchantment, emitting bursts of dim red light. Although she was dressed in a black robe, she couldn't hide her slender and beautiful figure. In the pure yang red light stimulated by the beating of the pure yang array wall, a beautiful shadow was formed that was tightly attached to the array wall.
Both of them were stunned. Fortunately, this woman was indeed outside the wall, so they didn't need to worry about her posing a threat. But if she were alone, she would most likely not survive tomorrow morning.
The short and fat man's heart was already moving. Although they can't close the barrier directly, they can borrow their array key to let her in through the wall. He had already held the key of his array in his hand, and was about to take a step forward when he was pulled by the old man. The old man gave the woman a cautious look and asked:
"Who are you, how can you be here alone in the middle of the night?"
The woman whispered with a crying voice, "The little girl is a witch of the Cang Straw tribe, because she was lost and everyone was separated, she came here with great difficulty, but she could not enter the city. If you don't believe me, you can look at my identity card......" After speaking, she took out a red wooden sign and pasted it on the wall.
The young man walked cautiously. Although he was separated by the Pure Yang Array Wall, he could still clearly feel that the strength of this witch was only about one or two foundations. Not to mention that through the indestructible Pure Yang Array Wall, even if she entered the protective barrier, this weak woman did not pose a threat to him.
Her low strength does not mean that she is not important in the Blood Refining Tribe. Some shrine maidens with special identities have a special role. At least this piece of identity card shows that her status is not low.
This kind of identity card is not owned by everyone in the Blood Refining Tribe, but is issued by Kapok City to the high-ranking priests and shrine maidens in the Blood Refining Tribe. The young man looked closer and confirmed that the card was genuine.
He looked at the woman again, her long straight hair hanging down from her sword, shining like black brocade in the light of a lantern. Her face was beautiful, but pale, with tears in her eyes, and a look of loneliness and helplessness written on her face.
His heart melted like ice and snow in the sun, and before the old man behind him could stop it, he had already reached the front of the woman with the formation key in his hand. He didn't let go of his hand, just whispered, "Grab my hand, I'll pull you in." ”
The array key is just a small piece of jade, with a unique spiritual machine that passes through the array wall. It would be a great sin for him to lose it if he gave it to someone else. But as long as the other party holds his hand with his hand, and the two of them are connected to this array key together, that person can also pass through the array wall.
But as soon as his hand stretched out of the Pure Yang Array Wall, he didn't feel the soft and gentle woman's hand he imagined, but suddenly a cold and incomparably strong wind blew through his wrist.
The cold then led to severe pain. The blood on his wrist spurted out like a fountain, spraying onto the Pure Yang Array wall in front of him, forming a terrifying wall of blood in the air.
The Pure Yang Enchantment could only block it, but it couldn't stick to anything, so some blood quickly trickled down to the ground and flowed all over the ground. His outstretched hand had already broken off at the wrist, and the array key in his hand naturally fell outside the array.
But he couldn't care about the battle key anymore, and he clutched his wrists and fell to the ground frantically screaming. It's just that this place is a few miles away from the Thorn Sky Tower, and in the forest of the wild night of the demon world, it is more common than this terrible scream. So no matter how much he screamed, it was impossible to attract any attention from the other guards in the tower.
The old man had already decisively decided to slip away, but before he could move, he saw a transparent figure with a white cold mist appearing beside the woman, holding a long sword in his right hand, and taking out the array key from the young man's severed hand with his left hand and holding it in his hand, and then through the pure yang array wall like a gust of wind, to his face.
Immediately after that, his neck went cold, and he lost all feeling.
Lan Ruoshuang stroked her face, then moved out of the bronze mirror to take a closer look, and stripped her hair a little messy. She was almost not confused by the two little demons, which gave her confidence a big blow. At this time, Yin Wanzhen had already knelt in front of her, presented the array key, and said:
"The two mountain patrol demons can't go back, and the guards in the tower will soon find out. We'd better do it as soon as possible. ”
"Well, got it. Lan Ruoshuang took the key to the formation a little lazily, with an impatient look in her eyes.
