Chapter 1595 Delaying time
In fact, these three people have strong cultivation and each has his own specialties, but unfortunately they were unlucky and ran into Aunt Zhu who was lurking in the forest.
In order to catch these three guys running around, the Subterranean Spider Queen perfectly missed the professional skills competition between Dong Rui and Cao Wendao, and secretly felt it was a pity.
"You can't keep them." Dong Rui didn't care whether the three men lived or died. He pointed at them and said to No. 66, "They are yours."
No. 66 walked forward, took one bite at a time, and swallowed it all in three seconds without even chewing it.
Its mouth was not big, and its body was not big either. Before the other demon puppets could see what was happening to it, the three cocoons on the ground disappeared.
Aunt Zhu also looked sideways. With such a scavenger, it would be very convenient to destroy the body. Unlike her, it was easy to kill but difficult to destroy the body.
"A large group of people is coming." Dong Rui said hurriedly, "I'm leaving first!"
The last two words were lingering in the air as the ghost ape had already jumped onto the mud palace with him, and the other two demon puppets also followed in spontaneously.
The snail toad lowered its head and dived into the ground with the hard shell on its back.
Aunt Zhu looked around the devastated battlefield, moved her eight legs, and disappeared into the dark night the next second.

Boom! There was a loud noise coming from the west. Everyone turned around and saw thick smoke rising from the sky.
Was there an explosion?
The vibration spread from the direction of Taoxi all the way to the feet of the crowd.
Qingyang's face changed. She personally stopped He Lingchuan, why did another explosion happen there?
Could it be that the three hundred cavalrymen of He Lingchuan were just a decoy, and there was someone else chasing Cao Wendao?
No, it shouldn't be.
She was very clear about Cao Wendao's abilities. Anyone who dared to chase him would simply be asking for death.
Unless He Lingchuan sends an entire army.
"What happened?" she asked openly, "Go and take a look!"
Here, He Lingchuan was secretly cursing Dong Rui in his heart, why did he make such a big fuss right at the start!
But he squeezed the horse's belly, and the horse shot out like an arrow and took the lead in going downhill.
Wanqi Feng and other elite cavalry followed closely behind, blocking the road tightly.
They are now blocking Qingyang just as Qingyang had blocked them before.
"It's probably because of improper storage of gunpowder! Gunpowder explosions in the eastward expansion project have occurred everywhere!" He Lingchuan reined in his horse and turned back, "We have disturbed the Regent. These idiots deserve death. I will send someone to deal with them right away."
This time it was his turn to speak in a rhythmic, calm and forceful manner, as if he really wanted to seek justice for Qingyang.
Moreover, the eastern suburbs of Tianshui City was originally a large construction site, with excavated yellow mud and materials piled up everywhere. Who dares to say that Taoxi didn't store anything, and who dares to say that there was no explosives in that pile of things?
Isn't it common that construction is not standardized and storage is improper?
He tried to attribute the Taoxi explosion to the engineering project, and it actually made some sense.
"I'll go with Island Master He." How could Qingyang not know that he was stalling for time? "Let's see what kind of explosives can be so powerful."
It's funny that just now she was the one who delayed time to allow Cao Wenda to escape, but now He Lingchuan wanted to delay her from going to the scene.
He Lingchuan coughed, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Master Regent, please."
After saying that, he turned around and rode away.
He could be casual about trivial matters, but Zhao Song still had to bow to Qingyang first and make a "please" gesture before leading his men to He Lingchuan, separating him and Qingyang into two groups.
Taoxi is not far away, and this section of road is only about two miles away, but the ground is muddy and the mounts often slip.
Soon, a rich green color appeared in everyone's vision.
The vegetation along the stream is always the most lush.
The thick smoke has not yet dissipated, guiding the direction for everyone to move forward.
Soon they arrived at the stream.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the scene before them.
There were two damaged carriages in the open space beside the stream, with the horses pulling the carriages lying several feet away and carriage parts scattered everywhere.
One of them was still burning.
Qingyang looked around with a straight face: "This doesn't look like a stockpile camp."
The streamside was empty, with only traces of a burning bonfire. Did Cao Wendao originally stay here?
Qingyang's men went to the carriage to check and soon came back to report:
"Palace Master, there is a big hole on the ground with traces of an explosion. The temperature was very high at the time, but the explosives were not buried in the soil."
How could it explode so violently if it wasn't buried in the soil?
"Explosives for breaking through mountains, right?"
Everyone dispersed to check, and soon someone reported:
"There are two bodies in the bushes more than 20 feet away. They were definitely killed in the explosion."
More than twenty feet?
Qingyang frowned slightly, but He Lingchuan looked calm and composed.
Yes, Dong Rui just told him that he and Cao Wendao were fighting while moving, and the battlefield has moved and is no longer by the stream.
He Lingchuan was also very interested in what the duel between the demon puppet masters would be like, but he didn't think it would be a standing still fight.
There were fallen trees everywhere, showing that the battle was fierce; there were several pools of dark red or light green mucus on the ground, like blood flowing out of the body of some creature.
Someone or a monster was injured, and the injury was serious.
Qingyang frowned.
She recognized that the dead bodies were Cao Wenda's disciples. She had seen them following Cao Wenda.
Since the disciple died by the stream, what about Cao Wendao?
Can he retreat successfully?
Qingyang's men also dug out three flying snake carcasses from the nearby bushes.
Zhao Song saw it for the first time. He picked it up and looked it over, curious: "This is the first time I've seen a snake with wings. This thing looks weird. Is it born like this?"
"It doesn't look like it was born that way." As soon as He Lingchuan saw the flying snake corpses, he knew that most of the injuries on their bodies were caused by the bat demon puppets.
I didn’t see any of Dong Rui’s demon puppets here, so they should have followed him to the next battlefield.
Dong Rui knew that once the explosion occurred, Qingyang and He Lingchuan would rush over.
In order to avoid being disturbed, he and Cao Wendao fought while retreating, and the battlefield was no longer by the stream.
Wanqi Feng and Wanqi Liang suddenly came running out of the woods, carrying two people. "These two fell unconscious in the woods!"
It looked like he was knocked unconscious by the explosion.
"Okay!" He Lingchuan was excited and said before Qingyang, "Hand it over to Commander Zhao!"
Zhao Song was sent by King Yao to protect him and represented the king's power. Now that something like this had happened, Zhao Song had the right to interrogate the two captives.
Qingyang frowned. Although he knew that these two were Cao Wenda's disciples, he had no reason to ask them to come over.
Besides, how could he easily hand over the prisoners who fell into He Xiao's hands?
Zhao Song immediately said: "Check the injury."
Don't let these two die before they speak.
Two medical soldiers came forward, felt the patient's pulse, lifted his eyelids and listened to his heartbeat. After a while, they reported: "He may have been knocked unconscious by the explosion. His internal organs were shaken, but his life is not in danger."
He Lingchuan knew that the two men were probably far away from the carriage at the time, which was why they managed to survive.
Qingyang's men had been observing the surroundings, and they came to report: "Traces of fighting have been heading northwest."
"Chase!" She didn't care about the life or death of Cao Wendao's disciples. But she had a bad feeling. Could Cao Wendao still be reliable this time?
After running a hundred feet northwest, Yuan Xuan found a mark on a tree by the roadside: "Palace Master, Ah Qi left a mark, and he went due north."
Before Qingyang came out to intercept He Lingchuan, he sent three of his men to find Cao Wenda, and Ah Qi was one of them.
The mark he left behind, of course, pointed to Cao Wenda.
Yuan Xuan whispered in Qingyang's ear again: "There is no news from Ah Qi and the other two. I sent a message to them just now, but there was no response."
There are naturally some instant short-distance communication methods among the Qingwei.
Qing Yang immediately asked him: "What were the last three messages they sent back?"
"There's movement in the woods to the north."
"Something is following us!"
"There is one last one..." Yuan Xuan recalled, "To the north, it's very close."
Qingyang immediately turned around and said to everyone, "Go north."
He Lingchuan was stunned: "Wait, shouldn't we go northwest?"
Qingyang saw that his eyes flickered and his expression was a little nervous, so he naturally became more determined to head north.
Others had no choice but to accompany him.
After walking north for more than a quarter of an hour, Ah Qi's mark appeared twice. It can be seen that he made it in a hurry, and the content was the same:
There is a strong enemy, go north!
Finally they came to an open space, which was bare and had few plants growing on it. It might be saline-alkali land.
There were traces of trampling and dragging on the ground. Three throwing knives were nailed on the trunks of two small trees not far away, and three or four branches were broken.
A battle took place here not long ago.
Qingyang's experience is obvious at a glance:
The battle was short-lived and unconventional in its manner—no blood was shed.
The opponent is very strong and the whereabouts of her men are unknown.
She glanced at He Lingchuan, who looked normal and was also observing his surroundings.
Was this arranged by He Xiao? In terms of time, it was unlikely; but she knew in her heart that it was most likely him!
Also, what about Cao Wendao?
There is no sign of him and the demon puppet here.
Just then, a strong wind blew by, and there seemed to be a few roars mixed in the wind, looming.
"Southwest!" Qingyang looked up quickly, "Let's go!"
However, just as everyone got on their horses, several loud noises were heard from the southwest!
It exploded and exploded again.
Moreover, the intensity of this explosion was unprecedented. Even at such a distance, the ground beneath everyone's feet was shaking.
Without Qingyang's urging, everyone rode their horses towards the southwest.
The explosion just happened, which means the conflict is not over yet. If you rush there now, you may meet the person involved.
After walking another four miles west, there is another open space.
The scene here is even more frightening than that by Taoxi River.
Even Zhao Song couldn't help but shrink his neck: "What kind of monster is this?"
A huge pit was blown out on the ground, and inside it lay a huge monster with a dark red body and spotted patterns. It was probably up to three meters long, and its mouth was so big that more than a dozen people could fit in it at the same time!
But the big fish just fell to the ground helplessly and quietly, with a big hole in its belly and its intestines all over the ground.
The flowing fish blood filled a puddle, and the fishy smell was pungent.
Everyone gathered around the pit and looked around it, all feeling incredible. How could such a large monster appear around Tianshui City, and it was not registered?
It’s terrifying when you think about it.
He Lingchuan subconsciously touched its belly and said, "It's still hot."
