Chapter 377 Explosive Barrel

When it comes to female heroes in martial arts novels, they are either gentle and graceful or generous and generous, or quirky and eccentric, in short, they are all lovable.

But no matter what, there is no female hero who is more masculine than a tough guy. It is not a problem for Yang Yiyi to put on armor and play Mulan now.

Yang Yiyi is obviously a cute character, whether from her name or her appearance. She has become like this now. I don’t know if it is her nature or if Li Chengxi has made some mistakes in training...

Let’s not talk about this for now. Li Chengxi asked Yang Yiyi to chase, but asked her not to chase so closely. It seems that he wants to let the members of the Tianlang Sect go, but it contradicts what he said before about going all out.

In fact, there is no contradiction. Going all out means to let Yang Yiyi show her deterrence, and using the tiger roar skill is also to scare away the people of the Tianlang Sect.

As long as they ran away, Yang Yiyi had a legitimate reason to chase them. Don't forget that there were many chivalrous men around watching. If Yang Yiyi left them for no reason, it would be inevitable that gossip would spread in the martial arts world that Yang Yiyi was afraid of fighting and fled.

But Li Chengxi's purpose of asking Yang Yiyi to come was not to fight these miscellaneous soldiers. There had to be a reasonable reason to get away.

That was naturally to chase, but not too closely.

Yang Yiyi chased them obediently, and she was also self-taught. From time to time, she picked up a stone or something to throw, which made the Tianlang Cult members leading in front run more happily. Look, how happy they are, they all screamed...

After chasing a bend blocked by a lot of vegetation, and confirming that the people behind could no longer see Yang Yiyi, Li Chengxi said:

"Don't chase, go to the grove, there is a cliff over there that can be climbed."

Yang Yiyi immediately braked and turned. The Tianlang Cult members leading in front didn't know that Yang Yiyi had left, and they were still running happily.

It didn't matter what happened to them. Yang Yiyi went into the grove and quickly found another rock wall according to Li Chengxi's instructions. She took out the climbing rope again and continued to climb up while tying the rope.

The reason why they didn't take the mountain road was that the people of the Tianlang Sect would rush down from time to time to stop these chivalrous knights. If they kept entangled with them, Yang Yiyi would be exhausted even if she was a superman, and then she would not be able to take the Sky-lifting Stone.

Because it was a straight up and down mountain wall, no one passed by here. When the bundle of rope was almost used up, Yang Yiyi also climbed to about two-thirds of the entire mountain. The top of the mountain was up.

In fact, there was no need to go to the top of the mountain. After all, the goal was the base of the Tianlang Sect, not to climb the mountain.

At this time, Yang Yiyi could already see the light emitted by a large area of ​​torches, and the light source of the torches was stable. It didn't look like they were held by people, but should be torches inserted near the base.

This also meant that they were almost there.

Yang Yiyi, who had just come up, was about to cover up the traces of the rope, when Li Chengxi said:

"Go a few steps to the left, yes, behind the bushes."

Yang Yiyi followed his words and walked forward. Not long after, her toes kicked something wooden. She reached out and touched the bushes and found a large wooden barrel half a person's height.

"Throw it down."

"What is this?"

"Throw it down first."

The barrel was quite heavy. She didn't know what was in it. Yang Yiyi threw the barrel down the cliff with both hands.

Almost at the same time, Yang Yiyi, who was in the dim grove, saw a string of bright flames burning down from above as fast as if they could move.

"Back off! Go back to the rock depression where you came up!"

Yang Yiyi heard Li Chengxi's urgent voice and didn't dare to ask more questions. She hurried back.

As soon as she squatted down, she heard a loud "boom" in the distance, followed by a loud noise like a continuous spring thunder, and even the vibration could be felt under her feet.

Following the loud noise, there was a rumbling and vague sound, as if a dragon rose from the mountain and rolled. It was too dark to see clearly, but it was also vaguely visible that the trees and rocks in the distance seemed to be moving and rolling down the steep hillside.

After a while, the loud noise stopped, and Yang Yiyi finally let go of her ears.

"Brother Li, what happened?"

"It was the explosion of the explosive barrel. It should be arranged in advance by the people of the Tianlang Sect."

Defending in the mountains is already very advantageous. The mountain road is difficult to walk and the terrain is complicated, like a natural wall.

But with the Liuzhou army attacking in front and the Central Plains knights coming up from behind, the people of the Tianlang Sect had to think of other ways to repel them.

For example, mudslides.

This operation is similar to what they did in Leishanzang, both using explosives to destroy the rock structure.

As for their own people below?

Then they can only pray for the best. Anyway, the Tianlang Sect has a large number of people, and it doesn’t matter if there are fewer followers.

When Yang Yiyi heard that it was a barrel of explosives, she immediately understood what Li Chengxi had asked her to throw down, and suddenly she felt a little scared.

"There is no time to stay. Since the barrel of explosives was detonated by the people of the Tianlang Sect, it is very likely that someone has already gone up to kill them. Now is a good time to act."

Detonating a barrel of explosives is equivalent to hurting the enemy by 1,000 and hurting oneself by 800. Since the Tianlang Sect used this trick, it is obvious that they intend to drag more people to be buried with them before they die.

But then again, the arrangement of the barrel of explosives of the Tianlang Sect is too clever.

At this time, there is no remote detonation. The detonation method of the Tianlang Sect is to pull a line with gunpowder all the way to the mountain, and ignite the gunpowder like a fuse to detonate the barrel of explosives hidden in the woods.

But this thing is greatly affected by the environment. It cannot be used when it is too humid or too windy. In other words, this thing must have been set up recently.

The Liuzhou army set out from Liangcheng in the afternoon and launched a siege overnight. These people in the martial arts world also decided to act immediately after hearing that the Liuzhou army had set out.

So, how did the Tianlang Cult know the specific time and set up the explosive barrels in advance?

As I said just now, this thing has a time limit and cannot be set up long in advance, and the Tianlang Cult seemed to know that they would come.

Either there are people from the Tianlang Cult in the Liuzhou army, or someone in this group of martial arts heroes tipped off.

However, no matter which situation it is, Li Chengxi has no way to confirm it, and he can't even narrow down the scope of suspects. He can only ask Yang Yiyi to be more careful and try to show up in front of outsiders as little as possible.

Li Chengxi is responsible for this part of the mind, and Yang Yiyi is responsible for the action. At this time, it is not too far from the base of the Tianlang Cult, so there is no need to tie a rope and continue to climb up.

Yang Yiyi walked through the woods and came to the path leading to the stronghold. The ground was full of corpses of the Tianlang Cult members. It was very likely that there had just been a fierce battle.

It seemed that Yang Yiyi had finally caught up with the big sect disciple who was leading the way, and finally reached the Tianlang Cult's stronghold.

She took two steps at a time and quickly ran up the path around the corpses. Not long after, a big gate that looked like a bandit camp appeared in front of her. Torches were still inserted on the wooden walls around it, and screams and the sound of weapons colliding could be vaguely heard in the village.

"Don't rush in, take a look at the situation first."

Li Chengxi's reminder was very timely. Yang Yiyi wanted to rush in to help just now.
