Chapter 1221 Fish School
"Sun Miao!" Qin Ming's cold gaze swept over Liu Yueli's body, which was convulsing wildly in the emerald light. "Seal her! At all costs! Hold on to her!"
"Here...here!" Sun Miao's withered hands trembled as he thrust several golden needles soaked in icy liquid into the major acupoints around Liu Yueli's heart!
Qin Ming slowly stood up, his dark uniform fluttering in the wind. The corners of his mouth, hidden beneath his face, curled up into an icy, arc.
"Hua Yunhong... do you think... you're the only one who knows... how to fish?"
His armored hand slowly grasped the hilt of the huge black iron sword.
"Your 'bait'... I... accept it!"
"Your 'fish'... should be... hooked!"
In the ruins of Bone Burial Cliff, Hua Yunhong stood atop a high platform, his dark green dragon robe rustling in the night wind. His narrow eyes fixed on the emerald green smoke rising to the sky in the southeast, his lips curled up in a cold arc filled with endless resentment and expectation.
"Qin Ming... your 'container'... is about to explode, right?"
"It's about time... my 'fish'... took the bait!"
He slowly raised his withered finger and pointed to the entrance to the dark secret passage deep in the canyon.
"Rotten Heart Willow Guard... follow me... to the battle!"
“Woo-woo-woo!!!”
The shrill blast of horns, like the wails of a dying beast, erupted simultaneously from three directions outside the camp—Eagle Sorrow Stream! Ghost Weeping Gorge! Broken Soul Slope! Then, there was the deafening cry of killing! The roar of iron hooves trampling the frozen earth! The shriek of arrows tearing through the air!
“Enemy attack—!!!”
"The Tiele tribe! It's the Tiele tribe's wolf riders!"
"Blackwater poison arrows! Be careful of poison arrows!"
"Shatuo Heavy Armor! Stop them!"
The outer defenses were instantly in danger! Arrows rained down like locusts! Poison arrows flew like bees! Heavy armor built like a wall! Like hyenas smelling blood, the three allied armies, at the signal of Hua Yunhong's "Bi Phosphorus Lead," launched a desperate assault! Their target was the food and supplies at the rear of the camp and... the seemingly weakly defended flanks!
"Form a formation! Hold on!" Meng Zhi's roar resounded like rolling thunder! With a swing of his great axe, he chopped off a poisoned arrow! His crimson eyes swept across the chaotic battlefield, then suddenly glanced toward the glaring green smoke in the southeast, a fierce glint of death blazing in his eyes! "By your majesty's order! Kill—!!!"
"Kill!!" A deafening roar erupted from the Black Armor Army! Suppressing their panic, the soldiers, relying on their shield formations and fortifications, engaged in a brutal battle with the three invading coalition forces! Blades flashed and slashed! Blood and flesh flew everywhere! The howls and roars intertwined into the melody of hell!
however!
The real killing intent did not come from these three noisy feints!
Deep within the ruins of Bone Burial Cliff! The entrance to the dark secret passage, shrouded in grayish-white poisonous miasma, winding and twisting, leading directly to the rear of Qin Ming's camp! The heavy stone door was silently pushed open a crack! A stronger, more pungent odor, like the stench of rotting willow catkins mixed with the stench of corpses, surged out like a tangible torrent of poison!
Hua Yunhong! Clad in dark green coiled dragon soft armor, his face covered in a ferocious bronze ghost mask, revealing only a pair of narrow, cold eyes burning with deep hatred and madness! His withered hands tightly grasped a dagger etched with a cold green light! Behind him! Three hundred Rotten Heart Willow Guards, shrouded in dark green vine armor, their faces smeared with pale oil paint, looking like they had crawled out of hell! Silently! Like ghosts! They poured into the secret passage!
Inside the secret passage! It was cold! Damp! Dark green, sticky moss clung to the stone walls, emitting a sickening stench of decay! The air was as thick as solidified corpse oil! The only sounds were the muffled breathing of the crowd and the subtle rustling of vine armor!
"Hurry!" Hua Yunhong's voice, hoarse and cold, pierced through the ghost mask, carrying an undeniable urgency. "Qin Ming's camp is in chaos! Liu Yueli's 'vessel' is bound to undergo a mutation! Seize this opportunity! Go straight to Huanglong! Take her heart! Reclaim the power of the sacred tree!"
The Rot Heart Willow Guards advanced silently, their movements swift and eerie, like venomous snakes slithering through the darkness. They held no swords or spears, but rather twisted, coiled vines of Rot Heart Willow, wriggling like living creatures, crowned with a strange, pale flower! A sticky, dark green sap flowed from the vines, emitting a paralyzing and hallucinogenic toxin!
The secret passage wound downward, bottomless. The deeper one went, the thicker the air became, the stronger the stench of decay. The moss on the stone walls also grew darker, even tinged with an ominous crimson.
"Your Majesty..." Helian Tieshu's burly figure followed closely behind Hua Yunhong, his voice carrying a subtle hint of nervousness. "This secret passage... seems... to be... a little off..."
Hua Yunhong's eyes suddenly narrowed beneath his ghostly mask! He felt it too! A feeling of being watched! Like a cold, poisonous snake coiling around his neck! He suddenly stopped! His withered fingers suddenly lifted up!
"stop!"
The three hundred Rotten Heart Willow Guards froze in their tracks! Like frozen stone statues! Deathly silence! Absolutely dead silence! Only the muffled breathing and the dripping sap of the vines filled the air!
Hua Yunhong's narrow eyes, like those of a hawk, scanned the dark passage ahead intently. The stone walls... the moss... the ground... nothing seemed out of place! But the chill of being watched... grew ever clearer!
"Ignite!" Hua Yunhong shouted!
A Rot Heart Willow Guard immediately lit a specially crafted torch! The flames illuminated a small area ahead! It was still the slippery stone walls and dark green moss!
"Keep going!" Hua Yunhong suppressed his anxiety and said in a cold voice, "Speed up!"
The team moved forward again! But the feeling of being watched, like a maggot on the tarsal bone, could not be shaken off!
suddenly!
"Pfft!"
With a faint sound, like a bursting bubble! A seemingly ordinary patch of dark red moss suddenly exploded beneath the feet of the foremost Rot Heart Willow Guard! A thick, cold, dark green liquid, emitting a pungent, sweet, and fishy smell, splattered out like a living thing! It instantly covered his vine armor!
"Ugh..." The Rot Heart Willow Guard only managed a short, muffled groan before his body suddenly stiffened! The area of his armor that had come into contact with the liquid sizzled with a corrosive sound! The blood vessels beneath his skin instantly turned dark purple, twisting and pulsing wildly! The Rot Heart Willow vine in his hand instantly withered! The pale flowers withered! As if all his strength had been drained from him, he collapsed limply to the ground! Dark green foam gushed from his mouth and nose! He died instantly!
"Poison!" Helian Tieshu's pupils suddenly shrank!
"Watch your step!" Hua Yunhong's voice was filled with a hint of shock and anger under his ghost mask!
The words have not yet been spoken!
puff!puff!puff!
Explosions rang out one after another! On the stone walls on both sides of the passage, and even in the cracks in the rocks above! Countless dark red mosses suddenly burst open like awakened tumors! Sticky, cold, dark green venom poured down like a torrential rain, covering his head and face!
"what--!"
"Ugh—!"
