"Hey, stop catching fleas. They're almost here, be careful of your own life." Wen Qi Hua patted the beggar who was grabbing fleas with his hands, and reminded him in a bad mood.
The little beggar obediently took out his hand and looked at the black raven's mountain not too far away. He asked, "Big Brother Wen, is the Puppet Palace really that terrifying?"
Wen Qi Hua nodded seriously. "Of course it's scary. That's not a place a little kid like you should go."
The little beggar gritted his teeth: "Sect Master's grandfather let me train and gain experience."
Wen Qi Hua thought to himself, "I see that your Sect Leader's grandfather wants you to die early." A gentle smile hung on his face as he said, "Follow well uncle and especially not uncle Jiang. Don't run around, do you understand?"
The little beggar vigorously nodded his head, saying, "En!"
Hearing his words, Jiang Suo turned around and smiled, "Stay by your side, uncle will definitely protect you."
Wen Qihua apologetically said, "Master is suddenly sick, the Deputy Sect Master is already very tired leading the team, and you still need to take him along. It's really because I'm not good at studying that I am unable to split my attention to look after him. I can only trouble you with that. "
Jiang Suo laughed boldly, "It's fine, Young Sect Master is welcome." Sect Master has been angered to death by these bunch of bastards from the Puppet Palace, so we will take revenge for Sect Master. "
Wen Qi Hua was not afraid of being dirty. Smiling, he patted the little beggar's head: "Don't run around on the road out of curiosity, you tripped and fell down. If you can't walk anymore, just talk. I'll carry you. "
The little beggar girl said crisply, "Thank you, Brother Wen."
Wen Qi Hua gave a faint smile and turned around, saying, "Everyone pay attention. When we reach the top of the mountain, Lu Kuan and the other two will walk side by side, while the other two will walk side by side or each of them. There were many mechanisms on the mountain, and at any time, it was possible to encounter them. Furthermore, one person could touch the mechanisms and hurt the people around them. Can you hear me? "
The last few people waved their arms to indicate that they were fine. Everyone stopped and those who were tired sat on the floor.
Wen Qihua said, "Most of the mechanisms don't have toxins, so some of the antidotes that we carry around with us can probably be used. "I said it very clearly, so I won't go into details."
A beggar asked, "Young Sect Master, what does it mean to repeat yourself?"
Wen Qihua said, "I just won't say anything more about what I've already said in detail." Seeing that no one has any more problems, he continued, "First, no matter how many people walk side by side, the distance between the front and the back, the left and right should be maintained at more than half a foot, preferably one foot. At this distance, it would be convenient to take care of each other without hindering others. The second point was that most mechanisms were activated by triggering. That is to say, you had to encounter some strange things to activate the mechanism. As a result, he had to stop what he had stepped on until it was clearly sunken. Only after he had been inspected by the people around him, would he be able to let go. Also, pay attention to the places you are passing through to see if there is anything strange. I deliberately picked out a few people who knew what the mechanism was like — people who would stick their heads into the line. In addition, I will be at the front of the group and pay attention to the mechanism to minimize the risk to everyone. Thirdly, because of the second point, the people in front must be patient and wait. Fourthly, do not panic at any time. Listen to the orders from me and the Vice Sect Leader. Fifth, there will be casualties on this trip. The injured will be dealt with on their own without any hindrance, so it will be best to avoid trouble with the others. I told you before we set off that the Puppet Palace is not an ordinary sect. It is a sect that is famous for its mechanisms. Therefore, it was a very normal thing for a dead person to do, so do not question the judgment and order. Do you understand? If there's a problem, ask it now! "
The group of beggars were picking their teeth as they replied in a piecemeal manner, "I understand, I understand."
Wen Qi Hua spat out a foul air. "If you understand, then let's go!" Without looking at their patience, he strode forward. He knew that he had wasted his time in saying so much, so he didn't pay any attention to any of them.
The little beggar boy pulled Jiang Suo with one hand and pulled him with the other: "Brother Wen, don't be angry."
Jiang Suo also agreed with a silly smile, "Yes, yes. Young Sect Master, please don't be angry." Actually... Young Sect Master doesn't quite understand what's going on. "
Indeed! Did I say something? Playing the lute to a cow! What a waste of effort!
Wen Qi Hua furiously roared in his heart, but he could only reveal a big smile. "I'm just saying, I don't care if you understand or not."
Jiang Suo answered with a simple and honest expression, "Young Sect Master, is the Dragoncry Sword really in the Puppet Palace?"
Upon hearing this, a sense of vigilance arose in Wen Qi Hua's heart. He asked, "Deputy Sect Master, why do you say that?" Did he see that this was a trap? It can't be?
Jiang Suo didn't notice the change in his expression at all as he continued, "Sect Master has been wanting that sword for a long time and has fallen ill at such a critical juncture. What a pity." "En, let's hurry up and take the sword back to the Sect Master. The Sect Master's illness can be cured."
Wen Qi Hua casually agreed with a heart full of melancholy. He recalled the smart and obedient subordinates of Poisonfeather and Feng Qiong, then looked at the group of filthy and stupid beggars around him. He silently held a handful of tears for himself. No wonder he was so lazy and silly, he was' influenced 'by these people! To think that I would seriously reason with them. I am so foolish that I am unable to be saved, unable to be saved, unable to be saved, unable to be saved …
With a great deal of hesitation, Wen Qi Hua finally led a group of beggars up the mountain where the Puppet Palace was. Wen Qihua focused and ordered, "There will be traps here. Don't run around or fall behind. Follow behind me and keep …"
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard Jiang Suo's "Charge!" No one paid any attention to his words as they all followed Jiang Suo.
"I …" Wen Qi Hua immediately gave himself two big ears and gave himself a dizzy spell. He had no choice but to support the tree and rest.
"Young Sect Master, what are you doing?" Jiang Suo looked at him curiously.
Wen Qihua forced out a smile and said, "I'm a little sleepy, so I'm not fully awake yet. I'm in high spirits." Then he asked, "Didn't you lead them to charge up?"
Jiang Suo nodded, "That's right. As soon as I saw that you weren't here, I turned around and came back."
Wen Qi Hua's eyelids jumped as he asked, "They went up by themselves?"
Jiang Suo nodded his head again, "That's right. I said, let them go up first. I'll go chase after them if I find you."
Wen Qi Hua pointed at him, then pointed at his own nose. "So, the two people leading the team fell behind, while the people leading them all went up?"
Jiang Suo continued to nod his head, "Yes …"
"Stop nodding, hurry up and chase him!" Wen Qi Hua didn't even have the time to talk about these useless things. He immediately used his Qing Gong and ran up.
Jiang Suo caught up to him easily. He still had some energy left to talk to him, "Actually, you don't have to be too anxious. There's only one road up the mountain, you won't lose it."
Wen Qi Hua ran with all his might, ignoring everything he said, and followed the 'only' path to catch up with the remaining half of the gang.
"Where is he?" Wen Qi Hua's face turned green, he did not care about seniority and prestige, and grabbed an elder by the collar. "What about the rest? Did you eat it? "
That elder's face was also pale. "I don't know. We'll just keep coming over like this. Only half of us are left."
Wen Qi Hua took a few deep breaths and said with a deep voice, "Formation."
Jiang Suo asked, "What needle technique?"
Wen Qi Hua said angrily, "What kind of array is this? Are you guys that reckless? Are you going down? They even dispersed when they walked into the formation! " Seeing the disapproving look on everyone's faces, he did not get angry. Instead, he sneered and said, "I'm leaving. I'll leave this place for you to take responsibility for."
Jiang Suo said in surprise, "How can you leave? Don't go, isn't it to get a sword? "I still need to take revenge …"
Wen Qihua coldly snorted and said, "I can't stand up to your ancestors. If I speak, you all will just treat it as farting. I can't serve you, so I'm not playing anymore. Let's go. "
The elder who had been grabbed by the collar said, "Jiang Suo, let him go. It's good that he's gone now. He's saving a baby from having a fight with us." We old beggars and that young master of his can't even be mentioned in the same breath. "
"That's right, let's go kill a general and get the Sect Leader's sword. We don't lack him."
"Exactly, just wait outside peacefully." The crowd also voiced their agreement.
Wen Qi Hua cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll be troubling uncles and uncles then. This nephew will be taking his leave now!" With a cold sneer, he turned around and left, looking like a youngster who had left out of anger.
Jiang Suo put down his blocking hand and looked in the direction Wen Qi Hua had left with a complicated look in his eyes. He hesitated for a long time, but eventually decided not to give chase.
When they left their line of sight, Wen Qi Hua's expression immediately changed and he hurriedly said, "It's over, it's bad. We have to hurry and inform the young master, otherwise, we'll definitely die miserably." He looked at the path that was blocked by the formation. "You don't listen to advice, you don't listen. I won't go and save you guys. I'll just pray for myself." With a flick of his sleeve, he headed down the mountain at a speed much faster than when he went up the mountain. It was obvious that he had hidden his strength before, but now, he couldn't care less.
He was so anxious that he wanted to go down the mountain and report the situation to the young master. However, he didn't notice that the formation in the bush was facing left and right. There were two identical ones. He thought that he had avoided the formation and was on the way up the mountain, but he was unaware that he had stepped into a nearby formation.
There were more than seven hundred people in this trip of the Beggar Clan. There was also a Vice Sect Master, three Nine Pouch Elders, and six Eight Pouch Masters. They were supposed to be an extremely strong lineup. However, because of Wen Qi Hua's negligence, the team had been separated by the formation from the very beginning, resulting in internal strife. In this case, Mr Wen's arrangement is bound to lead to a more serious backlash. Bringing such an unknown group of people to find another group of people through the unknown array was impossible. Even if they didn't look for them, there would only be half of them left. Since that was the case, he might as well just ignore it.
The members of the Beggar Gang only had one goal in mind — the Dragoncry Sword, which was located in the main hall of the Puppet Palace. What was the main hall? It was at this moment where Luo Changxiu's men were gathered and where the Dark Palace's soldiers were stationed. As long as the gang can get by, they won't be afraid to fight. With the stubborn nature of the Beggar Gang, they would never retreat without a fight. They would definitely find that place.
The only question now was, how many survivors could the gang have left to get there?
