The giant mechanism bird flapped its wings slowly, and flew over the moat towards Mei Shao and the others.

Ren Heming realized that something was wrong, took two steps back, and blocked himself with a small soldier in one hand. The next moment, dozens of feathered arrows spit out from the mouth of the mechanism bird, and went towards the crowd on the shore like beads.

Mei Shao turned around to avoid the corner of Shi Yan, only to hear a few screams, and the two soldiers in front of Ren Heming had softened and fell to the ground.

"Go up!" Ren Heming shouted loudly to the remaining dozen or so people, and then retreated into the cave entrance.

Ren Heming originally just wanted to inquire about it in order to make trouble, but he didn't think that he could capture the island in one go, so he only brought a little gunpowder with great destructive power, and they didn't bring it with them when they came down. .

Seeing that he couldn't get it right, he hurriedly wanted to retreat to the ground, use the cover of the hundreds of people above to return to Wu Du first, and regroup his troops before attacking.

In the panic, he only cared about himself, he didn't even notice that Mei Shao wasn't following, and hurriedly retreated into the cave entrance.

Mei Shao hid in a blind corner of Shiyan, held his breath, heard the sound of arrows shooting outside and stopped after Ren Heming retreated to the cave entrance, but the sound of the mechanical bird's wings flapping did not weaken, he caught a glimpse of the The dust was carried low off the ground by the bird's wings and swirled around his ankles.

After waiting for a while, the footsteps of about three or four people sounded. Mei Shao pursed her lips and clenched the Qingshuang Sword at her waist.

Sure enough, as he expected, there are people manipulating this mechanism bird.

A low voice sounded indistinctly, as if ordering something, and then the footsteps in twos and threes dispersed, leaving only one walking towards Mei Shao's hiding place.

Slightly lowering his head, he caught a glimpse of the corner of the blue clothes, and then a tall man exposed half of his body. Before Mei Shao could see his face, the sword in his hand had already stabbed out.

The visitor's reaction was also very quick, he clasped his hands together and caught the sword, and then he was shocked back, forcing out of Mei Shao's figure, holding the scimitar to hold the Qingshuang sword, both of them were shocked Gotta take a step back.

"Sure enough, he is a minister of rebellion." The man sneered, raised his knife and stepped forward, using all his strength, pressed Mei Shao, who was still injured, onto Shi Yan.

Mei Shao's tiger's mouth was slightly numb, he resisted the attack of the visitor, squinted his eyes, and said, "Tong Cishi?"

Tong Shen was too lazy to talk to him, and after holding down the man, the sharp knife in his sleeve flew straight to his face.Mei Shao gritted her teeth and straightened her brute strength in front of her chest, and turned her face with difficulty, two hidden weapons almost brushed past his ears and pierced into Shiyan.

Originally, the few people brought by Tong Shen were not far away, and when they heard the movement, they all rushed over. Mei Shao was besieged in a corner, anxious in her heart, and didn't want to entangle him more, so she hurriedly said: "Master Bai asked me to come. of."

Hearing Bai Bingchen's name, Tong Shen's expression relaxed for a moment, Mei Shao took the opportunity to push forward, and knocked the scimitar in Tong Shen's hand.

Tong Shen came back to his senses, his eyes were fierce, and he was gathering strength in his hands. He sent the scimitar forward, but it landed on a jade tablet.

Mei Shao held the jade tablet that Bai Bingchen had given her in his hand, and obviously felt that the strength against the jade tablet had loosened, then he gave Mei Shao a suspicious look, and put down the scimitar in his hand.

Tong Shen's strength was not small, he pierced a crack in the jade card, which slowly expanded to the surrounding area, Mei Shao calmly stabilized her wrist which was a little numb from the pressure, put the jade card in Tong Shen's hand, and then He took the initiative to put three feet of green frost into the sheath to show his sincerity.

After carefully checking the authenticity of the jade card in his hand, Tong Can looked at Mei Shao's eyes with a little bit of doubt, and asked, "How can you explain why you abandoned the army and surrendered?"

After finally picking it up, Mei Shao didn't have time to think about it with him, but only cared about the time when Ren Heming escaped back, thinking that it would be best to finish everything before he returned to the ground.Otherwise, when he returned to the ground, with hundreds of people protecting him, Mei Shao would not be able to hold him for a while, what's more, if he was released back to Wudu, it would be like letting a tiger go back to the mountain, and it would be difficult to find another opportunity for Ren Heming to be alone .

"Let's talk about the details later." Mei Shao hurried to the entrance of the cave, and said, "The Marquis of Nanyang only brought down a dozen people, and there are about 300 elites on top, with gunpowder. We'd better stop him. Just solve it underground..."

"Bam—"

Tong Shen and his men had just followed Mei Shao for a few steps, before they stepped into the entrance of the cave, a deafening roar exploded from above, shaking even the ground under their feet, and finely broken stones rolled down, smashing one after another. On the slippery sand, one pit after another fell.

Mei Shao's complexion changed, regardless of the shaking of the ground, she rushed in hastily.

Ren Heming's footsteps were faster than he expected, and he had already gone up and started to blow up the hole?

Walking inside the vibrating cave while avoiding the gravel, Mei Shao vaguely heard the voices of panicked people approaching from a distance, before he could listen carefully, another loud roar came.

At this time, Mei Shao was in the corridor, feeling the tremors were stronger than the first time, his figure swayed, and he almost fell off the climbing stones, the messy stones fell down one after another, Mei Shao could not escape. But he could avoid it, a few big stones hit his left arm directly, he groaned, his left arm was stabbed and then he lost consciousness all of a sudden, the hand holding the corridor wall was overwhelmed, slipped, and the whole body Everyone fell a few meters and landed on Tong Shen behind him.

"Are you okay?" Tong Shen hurriedly caught him, his arms were crushed by Mei Shao, and the two of them retreated two meters before they stabilized their bodies.

"No." Mei Shao was sweating from his forehead, staring at Tianguang, which was only the size of a fist, gritted his teeth and said, "Ren Heming must not have gone up yet."

If Ren Heming had already gone up, gunpowder was used to blow up an opening so that the troops could come down, how could there be such a small opening?

Beads of sweat from his forehead rolled down on his eyelashes, causing Mei Shao's eyes to turn white. He supported Tong Shen's hand and climbed up the protrusion of the stone wall again, gritted his teeth and continued to climb up.

Fortunately, after passing the most dangerous part of the road, there is a stone ladder where you can put your feet on the top. Mei Shao took a breath and heard the noisy voices getting closer.

"You're looking for death!" There was a loud shout from above, and Mei Shao instantly recognized that it was Ren Heming's voice. The cave is soaked and cold, making one's scalp tingle.

A string of sticky blood dripped on Mei Shao's face, and the smell of blood immediately exploded between his nostrils.

Mei Shao looked up against the palm-sized skylight, and after his eyes got used to the dazzling light, a suffocating scene unfolded in front of his eyes.

Just twenty steps away, on the steep stone ladder, Sun Zhe was hanging on it covered in blood, most of his body was suspended in the air, and his hands were still holding on to a mechanism. Behind him, The hard and thick stone gate had already been blasted open with a fist-sized opening, and the sword protruding from it poked indiscriminately.

Surrounding him were Ren Heming's generals. While stabilizing their bodies, they slashed at Sun Zhe's body with their swords. Ren Heming grabbed Sun Zhe's wrist with one hand and pulled him down.

Sun Zhe seemed to be surrounded by a group of ghosts, covered in blood, but he was still laughing and said fiercely: "Ren Heming, let's die together."

"Go away!" Ren Heming was so angry that he forgot his own safety, and shouted hoarsely: "Fei Yongchang! Do it!"

The moment he opened his mouth, Sun Zhe seemed to lose his strength completely, falling straight down like a powerless dead leaf.

Mei Shao's pupils dilated slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to reach out to grab him, everything happened too quickly, until his hands sank, pulling his shoulders and necks as if they were about to break, Mei Shao really realized that she was in extreme pain. The short distance pulls people away.

Under the crushing weight, Mei Shao slammed heavily on the stone wall, and a mouthful of fishy sweetness suddenly gushed out of her throat.

Before he had time to react, there was another bombing, the heat wave almost rushed towards his face, the crackling sound almost tore his eardrums, the rolling stones hit them hard, Mei Shao's body suddenly lost weight , falling down involuntarily.

Long-term tinnitus hovered around Mei Shao, he opened his eyes wide, and before he had time to adapt to the weightlessness, he was hit hard on the back, and something hard was stuck on his back, and all his internal organs seemed to have shifted positions, ruthlessly laying on him. Wandering and pinching in the abdominal cavity, the pain from being squeezed in the lungs turned into blood, which slowly flowed from between his lips.

After violent tremors, Mei Shao was stunned by the impact, and belatedly realized that he had fallen to the ground. His whole body slowed down for a long time, and the pain in his limbs and bones rushed, but he didn't have the strength to get up.

The fishy sweetness surged up from his throat, choking his throat all at once, Mei Shao turned his head violently, coughed violently, and a big mouthful of blood jumped onto the gravel.

Mei Shao supported her body and spat out the blood, as if she had calmed down her mind, and her mind gradually cleared up.

He opened his eyes and looked around. There were dozens of people lying on the ground, half of them could still writhe slightly, and half of them were motionless.

Mei Shao supported her body strongly, felt the sword in her waist was still there, pressed it against the scabbard, and slowly stood up, only to find that there were two people stacked on the place where she was lying just now, and she had already gazed at him. Slack, bleeding from the corner of the mouth, no movement.

If it wasn't for Mei Shao being at the forefront of the team, there happened to be two people blocking a lot of force for him when he fell, and he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to stand up like this.

Ren Heming was really insane. He actually ordered Fei Yongchang on the ground to put explosives in such a close place. It was a gamble of his life.

Mei Shao gritted his teeth and supported the scabbard, bent forward and walked past the lying people, moving their bodies, after seeing three or four people in a row, there was no sound, he staggered a few steps and leaned against the stone wall, Taking a deep breath, using force with his hands, he connected the dislocated left arm by himself.

His unconscious left arm was suddenly twisted by him, causing all kinds of stinging pains, he gritted his teeth and suffered, the white light in front of his eyes slowed down, his forehead was still dripping with sweat.

After reluctantly slowing down for a while, he saw Tong Shen get up not far away, and Sun Zhe who didn't know his life or death was lying beside him.

Tong Shen stretched out his hand and patted Sun Zhe's face. Mei Shao watched the motionless Sun Zhe suddenly shake his body, his chest heaved, heaved a sigh of relief, and walked towards them.

He walked up to Tong Shen, knelt down and looked at Sun Zhe who had opened his eyes, and stretched out his hand to him, "Can I still go?"

Sun Zhe opened his eyes slightly, and saw that his face was covered with blood, and his outstretched hands were trembling. He didn't blame him, and stood up with Tong Shen's strength.

Two or three of the people brought by Tong Shen were still alive, and they all stood up and walked to their side.

Among the surviving group of them, Tong Shen's injury was considered the lightest. He swears in a low voice, spits blood on the ground bitterly, takes out a firework arrow from his bosom, and shoots at it. Throw it over at the city gate.

The exploding fireworks streaked across the blue stone wall, making a subtle and long sound.

Suddenly there was an extremely loud trumpet sound in the city, sharply tearing their breathing for the rest of their lives.

Mei Shao, who had just recovered from the tinnitus, frowned, obviously feeling very uncomfortable with such harsh voice, he turned his head towards Tong Shen and said, "How long will it take for your people to come here?"

Tong Can knowingly looked at Ren Heming who stood up in the distance, who was also disturbed by the sound of the horn, and smiled contemptuously, "There is enough time to deal with him."

Surrounding Ren Heming were also two or three surviving soldiers. Ren Heming glanced back at the hole that was blasted behind him, and cast his gaze on Mei Shao and the others again.

They looked at each other across a dozen corpses, and their eyes were full of determination to put each other to death.

In a daze, Mei Shao could even hear the sound of dense footsteps rushing here behind each of them. The short time before the other party's people came, it was the best chance for them to end each other, and they would not The only way to survive being reduced to a corpse on the ground.
