Chapter 31 The Fish Hooked
Winter in the country of Yan belongs to snow.

For the next two days, the sky was still gray, the cold north wind was still howling, and the snowflakes were still falling all over the sky.

The thickness of snow in the Damian Mountains has also increased a lot.

In front of a cliff a few miles away from Huzhai, there is a group of people standing at the moment.

These are seven big men riding strong horses, wearing gray-brown animal fur coats, carrying big bows and broad swords, and wearing the attire of ordinary hunters.

One of them, a handsome young man with a hooked nose and a slender body, jumped off the big black horse with extremely quick movements.

This person was Li Qingsong who came from Dongfeng City in Beihuang County. He stepped on the knee-deep snow and came to the cliff. His hands had a faint green glow, and he pressed down with his palms facing down.

The next moment, the snow under his palm sank downward, revealing a black rock the size of a human head.

Li Qingsong immediately grabbed the black rock with both hands, and spun it vigorously, and the rock turned.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom" Immediately afterwards, there were bursts of rumbling sounds, and the cliff at the bottom of the cliff began to move to the two sides, and gravel continued to fall, all of which were shocked The seven war horses neighed uncomfortably.

Not long after, a passage two feet high and two feet wide appeared in front of everyone, and heavy snow fell continuously into the entrance of the cave.

"Lord Hong, the secret passage has been opened, let's enter quickly to avoid being discovered by outsiders!" Li Qingsong said to Hong Ertai, who was riding a maroon horse with a goatee, without much respect in his tone.

"Hmph! Master Hong, do you still need you to tell me what to do?" A round, beardless man behind Hong Ertai looked at Li Qingsong coldly, and snorted coldly.

"You..." Li Qingsong was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

"Boy, so what if someone finds out, anyone in Huzhai is no match for me, of course, including your father Li Ba. What's more, now that most of Huzhai is under our control, who is I afraid of? Get off your horse and enter the secret passage."

Hong Ertai's face was full of rebellion, and after finishing speaking coldly, he jumped off the horse first, took off the torch hanging on the horse's belly, lit it with a torch, and entered the secret passage.

The rest of the people also lit torches one after another, and followed Hong Ertai into the secret passage.

At the entrance of the cave, only Li Qingsong, whose face turned red and white from anger, and another big man with a beard were still standing at the entrance of the secret passage.

The bearded man stepped forward and patted Li Qingsong's shoulder, sighing: "Let's go, we are all doing things for the third prince, don't care about Master Hong!"

After he finished speaking, he also lit the torch and entered the secret passage.

Li Qingsong looked at the backs of Hong Ertai and the others, his eyes were full of coldness: "Bah! Incompetent old man, if it weren't for my father's scheme, you stupid people from Qin would have taken Huzhai? When my father gains power, he will definitely kill you, Hong Ertai!"

He finished speaking viciously in his heart, lit the torch, and followed Hong Ertai and the others.

However, due to the conflict just now, he always kept a distance of about ten feet from Hong Ertai and the others, and he didn't want to get too close to them, lest hearing their words would make him angry.

After everyone entered the secret passage, the cliff made a rumbling sound again, and soon the two cliffs closed to cover the secret passage again.

……

After half an hour.

In the spacious, pitch-black secret passage, there are little fires flickering, and these fires are particularly conspicuous in the darkness.

Li Qingsong held a torch and followed closely behind Hong Ertai and the others, keeping a distance of about ten feet. Smelling the damp and musty smell in the secret passage, he frowned, obviously he didn't like these smells very much.

Walking, walking, walking... the space of the secret passage is getting wider and wider.

The last time he walked through this secret passage when he and his father burned the warehouse in Huzhai, he knew that he was about to approach the center of the secret passage.

Suddenly, Li Qingsong's hooked nose wrinkled vigorously, as if a hound smelled something, and his eyes sparkled.

However, he couldn't tell what was wrong, he just felt that the secret path was different from the one he passed last time, and he couldn't tell the specific difference.

Unconsciously, Li Qingsong slowed down his pace, thinking: "Let the self-righteous Hong Ertai and others explore the way first, if there is really danger, I will back off the same way!"

The hunter's nature made him alert.

"Li Qingsong, do you have a lame leg? You walk so slowly!" The round-faced man who was walking with Hong Ertai in front turned around and stared at Li Qingsong, who was twenty feet away, cursing.

Obviously, he really wanted to vent his anger on behalf of his master Hong Ertai.

Li Qingsong pretended not to hear, ignored the big man with a round face and beardless, and walked slowly on his own.

"Grandma, this kid Li Qingsong is too conceited! Master Hong, do you want to teach this kid a lesson?" The round-faced, beardless man turned his face and said to the goatee angrily when he saw that the other party ignored him.

Goatee frowned slightly when he heard the words, and then showed a sinister smile: "Let's go, write it down for this kid first, and when the task is completed, I will settle the account with him!"

"Master Hong is still wise and puts the overall situation first." The round-faced, beardless man flattered when he saw the situation.

After speaking, Hong Ertai and others continued to stride forward.

……

Soon, Hong Ertai and others had reached the center of the secret passage, where the space is the most open.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

Suddenly, a loud bang pierced into everyone's ears, and on the dark rock walls on both sides of the secret road, lights the size of wheels suddenly lit up, and clusters of red flames engulfed the darkness, instantly extinguishing the darkness in front of them. The secret way shines like day.

In an instant, the darkness turned into daylight, making Hong Ertai and the others in the secret passage very uncomfortable. They couldn't help squinting their eyes and looking up at the lights.

Hong Ertai felt that these lights were like cold eyes staring at him, and he couldn't help but feel a hairy feeling in his heart: this is a dangerous breath.

He hurriedly operated the power of the star image crazily, and saw a shining green starlight shield appearing on his body surface, which spun around his body, forming an airtight light curtain, protecting him completely. .

At the moment when he just released the starlight shield, he stared forward, and saw long dark shadows flying towards them from the secret passage in the distance. There were hundreds of them densely packed. , extremely fast.

"Quick, quickly release the starlight shield to dodge!" Hong Ertai looked at those dark shadows, thought of something, opened his eyes wide, his face twisted, and hissed loudly.

The voice was sharp and tinged with horror.

Just as he finished yelling, the long shadows that covered the sky and covered the sky had already revealed their majestic appearance - it was a long black iron arrow with a length of three feet.

Under the bright red lights, there is a faint light flashing on the black tip of each black iron long arrow, and this dark light is like the bloodthirsty light in the eyes of a demon.

The black iron long arrow flew through at a very high speed, and the air around it felt slightly distorted, like the air above boiling water.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

……

It wasn't until then that the sharp whistling sound of a sharp weapon piercing the air at an extremely high speed penetrated into everyone's ears. This was caused by the speed of the long arrow being shot out too fast - the speed of the sound was far behind the speed of the arrow.

Hong Ertai has no time to take care of others at this moment, he hastily injected the power of the star image into the starlight shield, and at the same time displayed the quick-step meteor technique, moving away quickly.

Just when he had just crossed a distance of Zhang Xu to the right at an extremely fast speed, dozens of black iron long arrows shot at his original standing position immediately.

These long black iron arrows were inserted into the hard ground fiercely, about a foot deep, and made a sound of "dang, dang, dang", arousing a series of sparks, and the ground where they stood was immediately filled with dense arrows. It is as dense as the spikes on a hedgehog.

There were too many long arrows, Hong Ertai avoided dozens of them, and there were still other long arrows that were too late to dodge and hit him.Suddenly, the light on the surface of the Starlight Shield flickered wildly, and the black iron long arrow was ejected abruptly after being several inches deep, and fell powerlessly to the ground. He also retreated because of the huge impact force from the black iron long arrow. count steps.

Because of Hong Ertai's quick response and tyrannical strength, he was not injured in this round of unexpected long arrow attacks.

However, not everyone is as responsive and powerful as him.

The big man with a round face and beardless, because he took a small step too late, did not release the starlight shield. His fat body was already covered with long black arrows, and dark red blood oozes from the opening where the long arrows were inserted.

His big eyes protruded wildly, and there was no life in them, only the residual panic - just like a humanoid hedgehog!
I saw a streak of green gas floating out from the chest of the big man with a round face. He flew away at a high speed and disappeared without a trace. This is because the power of his star image was absorbed by the mysterious star burial place.

Since the other four big men casted the starlight shield in time, they only spent a lot of power of the stars, but their bodies were not harmed.

"Quick, retreat quickly!" Hong Ertai's eyes were full of haze, he gave a cold glance at the big man with a round face like a hedgehog, and roared in a deep voice.

The round of arrow shooting just now shocked them.

When everyone heard the words, they made gestures and wanted to retreat to the rear.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

But at this moment, there was a rumbling loud noise, and a huge shadow was seen falling from the top of the center of the secret passage at an extremely fast speed.

Just in the blink of an eye, a huge cage fell down violently, the space in the secret passage shook for a while, gravel rolled down, stirring up dust all over the sky, the cage trapped Hong Ertai and his four subordinates in it.

"Master Hong, what should... what should I do?"

"Hong...Master Hong, there is an ambush among us, what should we do?"

The eyes of the two subordinates beside Hong Ertai were full of panic, and their tongues were tied because they were too nervous.

Hong Ertai ignored them, he looked at the cage made of thick black iron wood, his eyes were full of shock and anger, and he yelled frantically towards the open space in front of the secret passage: "Who, Who would dare to set a trap against Lao Tzu, who belongs to the Third Prince of Qin! If you don’t want to be retaliated by the Great Qin Dynasty, open the cage quickly!"

He had just finished shouting when he saw a flame lit up forty feet in front of the secret path, and densely packed tall figures emerged from the darkness.

These are three hundred big men wearing animal skin coats, and their eyes reflect a cold light, which seems to be able to freeze people's hearts:
The people of Qin designed to ambush the elders, the Jingwei in Huzhai died in battle, and the elders were seriously injured;
The people of Qin burned the granary in Huzhai, and broke the lifeline of Huzhai;
The people of Qin caused their clansmen to go into the mountains to hunt when the mountains were covered by heavy snow, and they lost their lives in vain!

All of this has made the Huzhai people's hatred for the Qin people and Li Ba's father and son deeply rooted in their bones. This hatred is irreconcilable!
They held longbows in their hands, bowed into a full moon, and three-foot-long black iron long arrows were resting on the strings, with bloodthirsty light shining from the tips of the arrows, aiming at Hong Ertai and others in the cage, ready to shoot at any time ——Shot through the chest of the Qin people, through the heart of the Qin people!

The next moment, the three hundred men slowly retreated to the two sides, making way for a path.

There was an old man in gray linen clothes with white hair, a man in black with a black cloak covering his face and a little white fox standing on his shoulders, and more than 30 big men with broad swords on their backs and cold faces. In front of people.

The old man is Li Chunshan, the elder of Heihuzhai. Behind him, wearing a black cloak to cover his face is Li Kang. The thirty big men are astral warriors of the fourth and fifth ranks of the Green Star Realm in Huzhai, and they are also the most powerful people in Huzhai. Elite combat power.

"Shoot the arrows! Kill them all!" Li Chunshan looked coldly at Hong Ertai and the others in the cage, and coldly spit out six words.

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

Three hundred big men roared in unison, and the word "kill" three times in a row, contained their monstrous anger towards the Qin people.
