Mortal Bones

"boom!"

Before Gu Qingcheng could think about it, a huge boulder suddenly fell from the sky and hit her straight towards where she was standing.

At the critical moment, Gu Qingcheng kicked his feet hard on the ground, jumped up with a "clop" sound, and landed firmly on an ancient tree not far ahead.

"boom!"

The next moment, the ground where she was originally standing was hit by a huge rock, creating a deep pit.

Gu Qingcheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with fear on his face.

However, just as she stood still, she suddenly felt that the sky above her head suddenly darkened.

Immediately, a sound like falling raindrops was heard, but when Gu Qingcheng looked carefully at the "raindrops", he suddenly discovered that they were not rain at all, but drops of hot oil. .

"Ah!~~~"

In an instant, bursts of heart-rending screams resounded throughout the mountain forest once again.

Large numbers of refugees fell down, and some were even directly poured with hot oil until their flesh and bones were peeled off. Their death was extremely miserable.

"boom!"

As a last resort, Gu Qingcheng had no choice but to activate his true energy, use his body-protecting true energy to block the falling hot oil above his head, and then tried to continue running towards the west exit of the mountain forest.

But she soon discovered that her body-protecting energy could not last for a moment before it was dripped through by the hot oil.

At the same time, the true energy in her body also began to drain away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This... this place not only weakens the defensive power of the true energy, but also accelerates the loss of the true energy?"

Gu Qingcheng looked stunned.

She had to stop and used all her strength to use her true energy to cast an ice armor technique, wrapping herself in ice crystals.

What she didn't expect was that the ice armor technique that she could use almost at will in the past actually consumed most of the real energy in her body.

"Under such circumstances, if you want to rush to the west exit, you are risking your life."

Looking at the refugees running for their lives in front of them, falling down at a speed visible to the naked eye, Gu Qingcheng's heart gradually sank to the bottom.

Especially when she discovered that some refugees, like her, tried to use spells to resist the attacks of arrow stones and hot oil above their heads, but the results were also in vain, the look of despair in her eyes became more intense.

And just when she was hesitating, her mind suddenly recalled Xu Taiping's words when they parted earlier——

"Miss Qingcheng, you can try to escape to the west. If you find that you can't escape, remember to come back."

When she thought of this, she suddenly turned her head and looked towards the ancient tree where Xu Taiping and the others were hiding.

At the same time he murmured:

"At this moment, the entire mountain forest is being attacked by belemnite hot oil. I'm afraid they have escaped from the tree a long time ago? It can't be just that tree..."

Before she could finish her words, a pair of eyes that were originally full of worry suddenly widened.

Through her pair of dark eyes, one can clearly see that in the chaotic forest, there is an ancient tree that seems to have been "forgotten" and stands safe and sound in the chaotic forest.

"There...there's really...nothing there?"

Gu Qingcheng looked in disbelief.

At this moment, Gongshu Nanxing's voice suddenly sounded in Gu Qingcheng's mind——

"Miss Qingcheng, Master wants you to come back quickly."

In order to enter the seventh floor of Xuanhuang Tower together, Gu Qingcheng had sworn to the Qinglong Order and became a Qinglong Armor, so they could communicate with the Qinglong Order.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Qingcheng finally nodded and Chuanyin Gongshu Nanxing said:

"Thank you."

After saying that, she kicked off the ground with both feet once again and jumped up in the direction of Xu Taiping and the others.

Although she was a little unwilling to do so, judging from the current situation, she was at a disadvantage in the competition with Xu Taiping's qi-seeing deduction technique.

…

"Young Master Rusty Lion, I have caused trouble for you."

On the ancient tree with huge beast claw marks, an apologetic Gu Qingcheng bowed respectfully to Xu Taiping, Nan Xing and others.

Xu Taiping discovered that Gu Qingcheng was very similar to her brother in terms of admitting mistakes.

"Miss Qingcheng is serious."

He smiled at Gu Qingcheng and shook his head, then looked into the distance and said:

"Thanks to Miss Qingcheng's action just now, we were able to discover that we cannot cast spells and use true energy at will in this black mountain."

Hearing this, Gu Qingcheng raised his eyebrows and said to himself:

"This rusty lion didn't forcibly dissuade me before. Could it be that he wants to use me to observe the restrictions of this world? What a deep conspiracy!"

At this point, Gu Qingcheng had really wronged Xu Taiping.

After all, Xu Taiping didn't persuade him, he simply didn't care about her life or death that much.

"Sir, hot oil is no longer pouring down from the sky, and arrows and stones are not falling so frequently. It seems that the first wave of hunting you just mentioned should be over."

Gongshu Nanxing looked at Xu Taiping with joy.

"Don't worry, when the arrows and stones stop falling, it won't be too late for us to go down again."

Xu Taiping rejected Nan Xing's proposal.

In the picture in the soul mark of Lian Tong, the only thing used to cope with the disaster was this tree, so even if no more hot oil was poured from the sky at this moment, and arrows and stones stopped falling frequently, he still did not dare to take risks.

"boom!……"

As if to confirm Xu Taiping's words, along with an ear-splitting air explosion, a "rain of arrows" suddenly fell from the sky.

"boom!"

The impact of thousands of arrows as thick as bowls shooting down the forest caused a commotion on the ground.

But even so, the ancient tree where everyone was hiding was still intact.

"Although there must be more than one intact tree in this forest, to be able to count this one tree among tens of thousands of trees in such a large forest, the power of this Rusty Lion Master's Qi deduction is really amazing!"

Gu Qingcheng, who was watching this scene quietly, was more and more frightened the more she thought about it.

"Everyone, the first wave of hunting in this forest is over, follow me!"

At this time, Xu Taiping suddenly transmitted a message to everyone, while his hand was on the hilt of the knife, and he jumped down from the tree.

Gongshu Nanxing and others followed without saying a word, and flew down from the tree one after another.

Although Gu Qingcheng was the last one, she just wanted to help cover the rear, and she did not hesitate to chase Xu Taiping.

"Bang, bang, bang!..."

Just as several people were running desperately with Xu Taiping, a group of figures fell from the sky again. A closer look showed that they were still a group of refugees dressed as Ningyuan people.

A rough calculation showed that there were at least two or three thousand of them.

"It is indeed very much like the style of Guifang to drive the people of Ningyuan to one place and slaughter them for fun, but according to the map in my hand, there is no such black mountain in Guifang."

Looking at the refugees who kept groaning and crawling up from the ground in the surrounding mountains and forests, Gu Qingcheng continued to run with Xu Taiping, while muttering to himself in confusion.

"Stop!"

Just then, Xu Taiping in front suddenly stopped and stood in front of a pile of rocks.

This pile of rocks was made up of the huge rocks that fell from the sky before. From a distance, it was almost a small mountain.

"Master Rusty Lion, if we run for another ten miles, we will reach the western exit. Why stop here?"

Gu Qingcheng looked at Xu Taiping in confusion.

In her opinion, there were no arrows or rocks overhead at the moment, so it was a good time to escape to the exit.

"It's too late. The second wave of hunting is coming soon. We have to prepare in advance."

Xu Taiping said seriously.

When they heard that the second wave of hunting was coming soon, everyone's heart tightened immediately. They could still remember the tragic scene of the first wave of hunting.

Although Gu Qingcheng no longer doubted Xu Taiping's ability to deduce qi, she still instinctively used her hands to calculate.

It would have been better if the result was not calculated. This calculation directly frightened her face pale, and then she murmured:

"This is a dead end!"
