Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 1205: The Poisonous Miasma Reappears

"Raise your shields! Get out of the way!" Meng Zhi's roar resounded like rolling thunder! The charging torrent of black armor instantly changed formation! The massive tower shield rose like a steel wall!

boom! boom! boom!

Rolling logs and rocks smashed into the shields with a thunderous, dull thud! Grease splattered everywhere! Corrupted willow catkins mixed with a poisonous miasma, spreading like a plague! The black-armored soldiers at the forefront were shaken to the point of bleeding from their mouths and noses by the immense impact. The black grease smeared on their shields ignited upon contact with fire, instantly sending acrid, poisonous smoke billowing into the air!

"Rocket! Suppress the cliff!" Qin Ming's cold voice penetrated the chaos!

"Understood!" The black-armored cavalry, who had already drawn their bows, instantly released their strings! A barrage of rockets, dense as locusts, tore through the poisonous miasma, piercing the cliffs on both sides with a shrill scream! Flames exploded on the vine armor and the plank road! Screams rang out one after another!

However, more rolling logs and rocks continued to fall like a torrential rain! The canyon entrance was instantly blocked! The momentum of the Xuanjia torrent was abruptly curbed!

"Your Majesty! The poisonous miasma ahead is too strong! We can't rush in!" Meng Zhi wiped the blood off his face, his voice filled with anxiety!

Qin Ming's gaze, icy cold beneath his veil, swept across the death tunnel ahead, choked by rolling logs and rocks and swirling with poisonous miasma. His gaze passed over the black-armored soldiers at the bottom of the valley, savagely slaughtering each other in a hellish frenzy, and over Han De, chained to a high platform, his one eye burning with unyielding rage. Finally, it settled on Hua Yunhong's face, a face so calm it made one's heart tremble.

at this time!

"Uh... huh..."

An extremely faint, gossamer-like groan of pain came from the closely guarded stretcher behind Qin Ming!

Liu Yueli!

Her charred, shattered body, as if licked by the flames of hell, reacted again after entering the canyon entrance, which was filled with the poisonous miasma of the Shenmu Kingdom and the smell of the rotten heart willow! From the edge of the horrific wound behind her shoulder, deep enough to seep into the bone and branded with dull animal patterns, a sticky, cold, dark red jelly with a sweet and rotten smell slowly seeped out like an awakened venomous snake! The faint dark gold ember deep in her spine suddenly flickered violently, like an ice cube thrown into boiling oil! An extremely weak wave, but with a mixture of biting cold and scorching sulfur, suddenly spread from the depths of the brand!

The fluctuation was extremely weak, but it was like a stone thrown into a stagnant pond!

Deep in the canyon, on the high platform!

Hua Yunhong's narrow eyes suddenly focused! Like a venomous snake locking onto its prey! His gaze instantly penetrated the swirling poisonous miasma and fixed itself on the heavily guarded stretcher behind Qin Ming! His gaze was no longer filled with cold calculation, but instead erupted with an almost greedy, extreme frenzy, like a hungry wolf smelling blood!

"Blood leads...same origin...as expected...as expected it's still there!" He whispered to himself, his voice trembling unconcealably, and then the corners of his mouth curled up in an even colder and more sinister arc.

"Helian!" Hua Yunhong's voice returned to calm, but it carried an unquestionable command. "Send a message to the cliff face, 'Rotten Heart Willow Seed'... prepare it."

A hint of surprise flashed in Helian Tieshu's eyes, but he immediately bowed: "Here!" He turned around and made a series of complicated gestures towards the cliff.

On the cliff, the vine-armored Rot Heart Willow Guards immediately stopped throwing rolling logs and rocks and began to remove sealed, dark green leather bags from their backs, resembling giant cocoons! The surface of the bags was covered with strange, twisted lines, and they pulsated slightly like living things!

Qin Ming's gaze suddenly narrowed beneath his veil! He clearly saw the dark green skins on the cliff wall! He also saw the undisguised greed and fanaticism in Hua Yunhong's eyes!

"Ying Qi!" Qin Ming's cold voice was like cold iron falling to the ground!

"Here!" Ying Qi appeared beside the horse like a ghost.

"Protect Liu Qing! Anyone who comes near...will be killed without mercy!" Qin Ming's voice was filled with murderous intent that could freeze the soul!

"Here!" A cold light flashed in Ying Qi's eyes, and his figure instantly disappeared in the shadow beside Liu Yueli's stretcher.

at this time!

Deep in the canyon, Hande, chained to a high platform, the rage burning in his one eye nearly burst forth! He suddenly raised his head, and using all his remaining strength, he roared towards the canyon entrance, like a dying lion, his throat ripping apart:

"Your Majesty! Leave me alone! It's a trap! That Dog King wants... the blood from Lord Liu!"

"Shut up!" A fierce light flashed in Helian Tieshu's eyes! His huge hand suddenly grabbed Hande's throat, cutting off his next words!

"General Han!" Meng Zhi's eyes were bloodshot! The huge axe in his hand was buzzing!

Qin Ming's gaze under his covered face was like two bottomless abysses, reflecting Han De's figure on the high platform who was strangled by the throat and struggling violently, reflecting the cold and strange smile on Hua Yunhong's mouth, and reflecting the dark green skin bags on the cliff that were pulsating like living things!

Blood trap... Liu Yueli...

All the clues connected instantly! Like a cold lightning splitting the fog!

Hua Yunhong! His real goal wasn't to repel Qin Ming at all! It was... Liu Yueli! It was the activated "blood attraction" mark on Liu Yueli's body, which originated from the Toruhan sacred tree! What he wanted was this living "vessel" that contained the power of the sacred tree!

"Good... what a great King of Divine Wood!" Qin Ming's icy voice seemed to come from the underworld, and every word was filled with murderous intent to burn everything. "I... will grant you your wish!"

He suddenly squeezed the horse's belly! The dark horse neighed loudly and stood up!

"Meng Zhi!"

"The general is here!"

"Bring people! For me... break through this poisonous miasma! Charge to the high platform! Save Han De!" Qin Ming's voice was firm!

"Here!!!" Meng Zhi's roar was like a landslide and tsunami! He raised his giant axe! "Black armored men! Follow me - kill -!!!"

"Kill!!" A deafening roar tore through the poisonous miasma! The torrent of black armor, blocked by rolling logs and rocks, erupted in a final frenzy! The soldiers used their flesh and blood to smash through the obstacles! Facing poisonous arrows and rolling rocks! Like a dam bursting through black lava, they rushed into the depths of the canyon!

"put--!!!"

Hua Yunhong's icy voice was like a death knell! He waved his hands violently!

On the cliff, countless Rotten Heart Willow Guards suddenly cut open the dark green leather bags in their hands!

Pfft——! ! !

Countless hair-thin strands, gleaming with a faint green fluorescence, twisting madly like living creatures—Rotten Heart Willow Vine seeds! Like a torrential green rain of poison! Mixed with an even stronger paralyzing and hallucinogenic pollen! They poured down fiercely on the charging torrent of black armor below!

"Ugh—!"

The black-armored soldiers at the forefront were instantly engulfed in a green glow! Where their skin had touched the vines, ominous green spots instantly appeared! The inhaled pollen made their eyes blurry and their movements stiff! The tragedy of fratricide unfolded once again!

"Your Majesty! The poisonous vines are too dense! We can't get through!" Meng Zhi swung his giant axe to chop off several vines that were wrapped around him, his voice hoarse with despair!

Qin Ming's gaze, icy cold beneath his mask, swept across the death tunnel ahead, blocked by green poison ivy and frenzied soldiers. His gaze swept across Hua Yunhong's cold, sinister smile on the platform, then past Han De's strangled throat, his single eye wide open in despair, before finally settling on Liu Yueli's stretcher behind him.
