Chapter 176 An Unexpected Trap

In the ruined imperial palace, at the entrance and exit of the underground palace on Li Jin's side, soldiers of the Dragon Cavalry were being rescued one by one.Li Jin's heart gradually became more relaxed. At this speed, their team should be able to persist until all members are rescued, and the spiritual power barrier will not be broken due to lack of spiritual power.

Li Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, and continued to move the surrounding boulders with everyone, trying to create a bigger exit.And as more and more people were rescued, their efficiency became higher and higher.

Li Jin has been working hard to rescue the dragoon soldiers without saying a word. He is responsible for helping the trapped dragoon soldiers to prop up some gaps so that they can escape.At this time, he was also sweating profusely.

But an indescribable sense of ominousness was always lingering in his heart.

Both Chen Dan and Concubine Xuan were dead, and the envoy Mo Lin seemed to have brought Li Qinqin back to the headquarters of the Mieshi Palace, otherwise they wouldn't have not appeared at this time.

Along the way, Li Jin has paid attention to, is there anything valuable in Mieshi Palace, the underground palace of Hanyun Branch?But in the end Li Jin also discovered that the valuable part of the medicine hall had already been transferred.

Therefore, from the perspective of protecting secrets, there is no need for Mieshigong to self-destruct the underground palace.And if the Mieshi Palace makes a comeback, maybe it can be reactivated here.

At the same time, the self-destruction of the underground palace will not deal much damage to the dragon cavalry army, unless most of the dragon horses have exhausted their spiritual power.It's not cost-effective to exchange an underground palace for a small amount of damage to the Dragoon Army.

What puzzled Li Jin the most was that Chen Dan and Concubine Xuan obviously wanted to escape, but they both died in the underground palace in the end.This is not in line with the normal strategic intention of inviting the king into the urn and burying them all alive.The most important thing is, judging from the battle situation when they broke into the underground palace at the very beginning, the Dragon Cavalry Army was indeed caught off guard by the Palace of Extermination. It was indeed impossible for the opponent to deploy ambushes and traps in advance.

Therefore, all actions made by Mieshigong can be seen hastily and flustered.

So, what does this situation mean?Why are there always so many contradictions and unreasonable places?

Obviously, Li Yu, who was deeply frowning at this time, also thought of these contradictory issues.Of course, Li Liang, who was huffing and wheezing at the side, didn't think about these things.

But soon, Li Jin discovered something was wrong.People like myself have been carrying out rescues, and it is reasonable to be so tired that they are hot and sweating profusely.But why are these dragoon soldiers who have just been rescued soaked all over their bodies, as if they had been steamed in a steamer, and there are some signs of dehydration at first glance?

He shrank his pupils, stopped his movements, and gathered his spiritual power in his hands.Soon, his right hand returned to a dry and normal temperature under the influence of the lunar power.Li Jin put his hand on a stone slab on the ground, closed his eyes and felt it silently for a while, and suddenly his face turned pale.

"There's a fire in the ground! They're going to roast all the people buried in the underground palace to death!" Li Jin's growling voice became hoarse.

Li Yu was startled when he heard the words, and his face quickly turned ugly: "Quick, speed up and rescue all the brothers, we have to hurry up and retreat!"

In the underground palace, in a certain passage, Li Shuyi led a team of dragoons struggling to support the spiritual barrier.Beside them, there are also some city defense troops, and even the disciples of Mieshi Palace who are also supporting the spiritual power barrier.But at this time, everyone has stopped fighting, saving their spiritual power and energy as much as possible.

"Everyone, don't panic." Li Shuyi still laughed and shouted at this time, "It's just a collapse. Let's hold on for a while, and someone will rescue us."

All the soldiers of the Dragoon Army agreed with a smile, obviously in a relaxed mood.

But in his heart, there was already an ominous premonition.Fortunately, he stayed behind and most of the dragoons had escaped. At this moment, Li Shuyi only felt calm in his heart.

After a while, rescue did not appear, but he began to feel an unusual heat.Li Shuyi's heart gradually fell to the bottom, and he could feel that while the heat was evaporating the water in his body, it was also evaporating his blood and his spiritual power.

Li Shuyi suddenly burst out laughing, but at this moment his laughter was a little hoarse.At the same time, he could feel a hot breath appearing in his body, burning his internal organs, as if a fire was burning in his body.

"Brothers of the Dragoon Army!" Li Shuyi's laughter stopped abruptly, "This general is incompetent and cannot take you out...we are going to die here, are you afraid?"

Most of the soldiers of the Dragon Cavalry Army were not as strong as Li Shuyi. At this time, they already felt something was wrong in their hearts, and they even started to feel severe pain in their internal organs.But when they heard the general's question, they all cheered up, exhausted the last bit of strength in their bodies, and shouted hoarsely:
"Tianji Dragon Knight, why not be afraid of dying in battle!"

"Okay! As expected of a man from my Tianji city!" Li Shuyi smiled hoarsely, "The general, I will be with you, return your soul to your hometown, and protect the dragon knight!"

"The soul returns to its hometown, protect the dragonriders!"

"The soul returns to its hometown, protect the dragonriders!"

……

At the south gate at this time, Li Wenshu and Li Wenluo also received a message from the underground palace.

Li Wenshu's reaction was much more violent than that of Li Jin and others.He was startled when he heard the roar and saw the billowing smoke and dust, but when he heard the report again, it turned out that the palace and the central square collapsed as a whole, and his expression changed drastically.

After Chen Dan's death, Li Jin actually sent someone to escort his son Chen Xun back to the south gate, and informed the military order by the way, but the escort and Chen Xun were both trapped in the underground palace at this time.Therefore, only Li Jin and his party know about the death of Chen Dan and Concubine Xuan in the Dragoon Army.

But in this situation, Li Wenshu, who didn't know the news of the deaths of Chen Dan and Concubine Xuan, was not affected by these rubbish news, and directly judged that there must be ghosts in it.

In his logic, it was obvious that the Dragon Cavalry Army broke into the underground palace of the Mieshi Palace branch, and was buried underground by the other party in a self-destructive manner.But if it's just like this, the Mieshigong side will definitely not be able to achieve much great results. Compared with their sacrifices, it is too worthless.

Therefore, there must be a back move!
In the end, Li Wenshu, who only knew the result but didn't know the process, because the information he got was the most simple and direct, but by mistake, he came to the conclusion that was closest to the facts the fastest!
Soon, there was another news from the palace, and the smoke and dust that had subsided flew up again, and a heat wave was clearly felt on the ground.

Li Wenshu, who finally understood what happened, didn't waste any time, and directly ordered that all the soldiers of the Dragon Knight Army who had escaped from the underground palace should not step into the collapsed area again!

Everyone understands what this military order means.Li Wenshu gave up the chance to rescue the soldiers of the Dragoon Army buried deep below from above the collapsed area.In other words, the soldiers of the Dragon Rider Army buried deep in the ground are in danger, and the three thousand Dragon Riders will probably face a large-scale reduction in personnel that has not happened in hundreds of years!

After giving this order, Li Wenshu closed his eyes in pain. Before Li Wenluo could say anything to his partner beside him, a mouthful of blood sprayed from Li Wenshu's mouth, and he fell to the ground.

And at this moment, in the collapsed area, the line of sight finally began to tremble. It was the fiery air flow that distorted the air there.

At this time, most of Li Jin and his party have been rescued, but the few dragoon soldiers who were finally rescued fainted the moment they escaped, the spiritual power barrier immediately broke, and Tianlongma also back to their chests.

Even everyone on the ground was already drenched, and the moment the sweat dripped on the ground, it was directly vaporized.All the soldiers had no choice but to ride on horseback now, using the spiritual energy barrier to block the heat.

When Li Jin stretched out his hand to the next dragon cavalry soldier, the other party just looked at him, twitching the corners of his mouth trying to smile, but didn't reach out to hold Li Jin.Immediately afterwards, his spiritual power barrier was broken, and a fire burst out of his body, and his whole body quickly turned into a burning man.

A pillar of fire emerged from the exit of the passage, and countless pillars of fire emerged from countless places in this vast ruin.The orange flames quickly devoured everything around.

Soon, the entire area was scorched with heat. Everything that could be ignited was ablaze, and the bricks and stones that could not be ignited had become scorching hot.Li Jin looked at the fire pillar in front of him, and he didn't lose his mind for a long time. He was hugged by Li Yu's waist and thrown onto the back of his Tianlong Ma Chiyan.At this time, those several dragoon soldiers who had fainted had also been put on the horses by their robes.

He only heard him roar: "Withdraw!" and took the lead.Including Li Liang, all the surviving soldiers of the Dragoon Army hurriedly followed, and rushed out of the ruins with the charge shield.

On the northern city wall of the imperial capital, in a shadow that no one could find, the envoy Mo Lin looked at everything that happened in the imperial capital, and shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity, so many dragoons escaped... It was a failure, Such a good opportunity was ruined just because of those two trash!"

In his plan, as long as Chen Dan and Concubine Xuan can act according to the policy he set before leaving, defending the palace, or even fighting two beautiful counterattacks, should be a breeze.

Then, he came back with the scroll of the fire array in the center of the earth, and then pretended to accidentally expose an entrance of the Palace of Extermination, and planned to lure the dragoon army into the underground palace.I'm afraid that at that time, even the underground palace does not need to be sacrificed. It only needs to trap the dragon cavalry army in a part of the main hall, and it can cause terrifying damage.

A beautiful defensive counterattack, the glory of annihilating three thousand dragonriders, will be regarded as a highlight in the history of Mieshigong for so many years, and it should belong to Mo Lin.

Of course, he didn't know from the beginning to the end that the plan he thought was perfect could not be implemented from the very beginning, unless Li Jin didn't get the topographic map of the underground palace.

Mo Lin secretly hated to take one last look at the capital of the Hanyun Empire, then jumped outside the city, and activated a teleportation circle in a hidden cave.

"Tianji City... I will come to play with you guys next time..." Mo Lin stepped into the magic circle and disappeared.
