There are far more golden beetles here than in the Temple of the Sun. They are all golden and can make people's skin crawl.
"I understand. The bronze sacred trees of the Western Zhou Dynasty are also hollow, and they are filled with these mausoleum-protecting holy insects."
I shouted as I ran.
After a while, more than a dozen ancient bronze trees around us turned into golden trees, and the golden beetles on the ground surrounded us in a steady stream.
Lao Jiang patted me on the shoulder: "Baby apprentice, it's up to you."
"Rely on me?" I haven't come back to my senses yet.
Lao Jiang glared at me like I was an idiot and said angrily, "Wear a mask."
I reacted immediately, quickly took out the golden mask from my backpack, and raised it high towards the group of golden beetles.
In order to avoid seeing the golden beetles in the other direction, I walked around in an open circle!
This time I saw with my own eyes that the golden beetles, which were as numerous as the tide, and whose lethality was comparable to that of a demon crossing the border, all stopped in an instant.
They have a deep, deep respect for the Golden Mask.
Seeing this mask is like seeing the owner who has been away for thousands of years, with its tentacles swinging one by one.
Staggeringly, he kneeled down towards the hand that held up the mask!
Yes, they are kneeling!
Then they retreated in an orderly manner, shrinking back into the Bronze Sacred Tree.
This scene happened so fast that for just a minute, I thought it was a dream.
Ge Weihan's eyes turned green as he looked at the bronze mask, and his saliva almost flowed out: "This is really a treasure."
After solving the golden beetle, we are ready to speed up and leave this bronze forest as soon as possible.
Since there is no permanent lamp here and it is relatively dark, the Acuo chief asked several of his men to hold torches on both sides to light the way forward for us.
These giant-like bronze trees are eerie, and their branches seem to be ready to attack us at any time.
The firelight shining on each of our faces always gave me an ominous feeling.
"When can we get out of this forest?" I asked.
A mountain guard holding a torch looked over with a smile: "It's coming soon, my friend, I can even see the front..."
At this time, there was a growling sound from Ge Weihan's stomach. He touched his beard in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry to have been walking for so long. I'm a little hungry."
Yin Ling'er also echoed: "Ling'er is hungry too."
The mountain guard was so friendly to us that he showed his white teeth: "When I get back, I will ask my wife to make tea cakes for you. They will be golden, crispy, and fragrant. This is a specialty of our ancient Yi people for generations. Outside Can’t eat it.”
"Sounds delicious." Yin Ling'er, the little glutton, couldn't help drooling and shouted.
I couldn't help but laugh next to me, saying that after I went out, I would also try this tea cake that was not available outside.
Smiling, my eyes suddenly widened, and I stretched out my hand to remind him, but it was too late.
Because from my perspective, I could clearly see a soul-stirring cold light shining behind the bronze sacred tree next to the mountain guard.
That was the reflection of the torch shining on the blade!
"Watch out!"
My roar had already rushed out of my throat, but unfortunately the knife was too fast and could not be caught by the naked eye.
Just when the mountain guard looked at me doubtfully, he saw a black shadow flash past. His mouth was instantly covered by a big hand, and then he was dragged behind the bronze tree.
The huge bronze tree completely blocked him and the black shadow. I couldn't see anything, and there was only a "puff" sound in my ears.
That was the sound of a knife piercing flesh.
Lao Jiang and Chief Acuo obviously heard it too. Just when I rushed over desperately, they drew their weapons faster.
However, we only found the body of the mountain guard behind the bronze tree, and the black shadow disappeared.
"The clan leader..."
The mountain guard leaned helplessly under the bronze sacred tree. His western limb kept twitching. A deep gash was cut across his neck, and red blood gurgled out from the gash.
He tried his best to cover the wound with both hands, but blood still spurted out through his fingers.
Patriarch Acuo shouted: "Ada!"
Then he rushed forward feeling distressed.
The mountain guard opened his mouth to say something, but more blood spurted out of his mouth, and he was hesitant to say a complete sentence.
Seeing his companion struggling in pain, Chief Acuo gently closed his eyes.
The mountain guard's body finally stopped twitching. Chief Acuo hugged him and gently comforted him: "The Sun Bird will take you to the ancient Shu Kingdom, and I will continue to complete our mission!"
When the mountain guard's hand dropped completely, I knew he had left.
At this moment, Lao Jiang suddenly pulled out the black knife, as if he noticed something.
However, before he could get closer, a shadow appeared from behind another bronze sacred tree. The man was wearing a black Chinese tunic suit and was dressed almost exactly like Lao Jiang, except that his facial features were younger, with only a stubble growing under his chin.
His whole body exuded an awe-inspiring evil aura, and the black knife in his hand was dripping with blood.
This person is Lao Wu!
"There's so much blood." Lao Wu frowned in disgust, and then wiped the blood on the knife with a blue scarf.
The blue scarf was apparently torn off the head of the mountain guard who died just now.
"Lao Wu, you shouldn't hurt innocent people. If you have any problem, come at me!" Lao Jiang shouted at him angrily.
But Lao Wu twitched his mouth indifferently, as if a life in his eyes was nothing more than a crushed ant.
With a 'whoosh' sound, a long arrow filled with anger was shot out, with thunderous killing intent!
It's a pity that Lao Wu had already taken precautions and dodged in a flash. The arrow was nailed to the bronze sacred tree, and the tail of the arrow trembled violently for a long time.
Lao Wu unexpectedly glanced at the Acuo clan leader and seemed to admire his archery skills. After the Acuo clan leader laid Ada's body flat, he stood up suddenly: "I will kill you with my own hands to avenge Ada! "
This was the first time I saw the angry look of the Acuo clan leader. Unfortunately, Lao Wu didn’t take him seriously. Instead, he raised his finger in Lao Jiang’s direction and said, “Come here!”
"presumptuous!"
In an instant, Lao Jiang's entire aura was released, like an unsheathed sword, exuding black rage. With his whole body wrapped around the sharp blade, he rushed towards Lao Wu and then disappeared into the darkness.
I was worried that Lao Wu was plotting again, so I couldn't help but shouted anxiously: "Master, be careful of fraud! He did it on purpose. He knows that your strength has not been restored yet."
But there were only two loud words from Lao Jiang in the darkness: "It doesn't matter!!!"
