Chapter 1281
Li Taihang frowned and asked, "Who are you? What's the matter?"
The black-robed man said softly, "I am the envoy of Xing'an City. The city lord heard about your feats in the Xingmang Ruins and wanted to invite you to the City Lord's Mansion of Xing'an City for a chat."
Li Taihang and Lin Yue were a little confused. They didn't know what the city lord of Xing'an City wanted to talk to them about.
Lin Yue looked at Li Taihang. Li Taihang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, we'll go with you."
They followed the black-robed envoy out of the inn and got on the carriage that had been waiting behind.
Along the way, the black-robed envoy rarely spoke, but just led the way silently in front.
After a while, the black-robed envoy brought them to the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion was very magnificent, with exquisite buildings and gorgeous decorations everywhere.
They walked into the hall of the City Lord's Mansion and saw a middle-aged man in a gorgeous robe sitting on a chair.
The man smiled when he saw them come in.
"Welcome to Xing'an City. I am Xingyao, the city lord of Xing'an City." The city lord Xingyao said.
Lin Yue bowed slightly and said, "I wonder what the city lord wants to see us about?"
Xingyao smiled and said, "I admire your performance in the Xingmang Ruins. I want to find you two to cooperate with you on something."
"Cooperation? What cooperation?" Lin Yue asked.
Xingyao stood up and said slowly, "There is actually a mysterious place near our Xing'an City, called Dark Moon Valley."
"There are countless treasures hidden there, but there are also many dangerous monsters. I would like to invite you to explore Dark Moon Valley with me. If you can find the treasure, I don't need the treasure, but I only want one thing."
Li Taihang and Lin Yue looked at each other. Lin Yue was actually a little tempted by the activities in Dark Moon Valley, but she also knew that it must be full of dangers.
Lin Yue thought for a moment and said, "City Lord, we need to think about it."
Xingyao nodded and said, "Of course, you can rest in the city for one night and give me an answer tomorrow."
Li Taihang and Lin Yue were arranged to rest in the guest room of the City Lord's Mansion.
At night, Lin Yue said to Li Taihang, "Taihang, do you think this Xing'an City Lord is trustworthy?"
Li Taihang pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say at the moment, but you look very excited about this Dark Moon Valley?"
"Yeah." Lin Yue nodded and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you that I need a lot of money, because the later I go, the more I will consume."
Li Taihang thought of her cultivation resources and nodded, "No matter what, we must be careful."
"Okay!"
The next day, Li Taihang and Lin Yue decided to accept Xingyao's invitation.
They came to the hall and told Xingyao their decision.
"Hahaha, that's great."
"You two take a rest first, I'll go get ready, and when I'm ready,"
Xingyao was very happy. He immediately summoned some guards and recruited some adventurers to set off for Dark Moon Valley together.
After a period of preparation, everyone set out and headed towards Dark Moon Valley.
Along the way, they encountered some small monsters, but they were all easily solved.
As they got closer and closer to Dark Moon Valley, the atmosphere around them became more and more depressing.
When they finally arrived at the entrance of Dark Moon Valley, a gloomy breath came over them. The valley was filled with thick fog, and it was difficult to see the situation inside.
Xingyao said to everyone: "Everyone be careful, there are many dangers in here."
Everyone walked into Dark Moon Valley carefully.
The valley was very dark, with only some weak light coming in from the gap above their heads.
Suddenly, a huge black spider crawled out from the stone wall next to it.
The spider's body was as big as a house, and its eyes were flashing red light.
Xingyao shouted, "Everyone attack!"
Everyone took out their weapons and attacked the spiders.
Li Taihang slashed with his sword, and a sword energy slashed at the spider.
The spider was hit by the sword energy, screamed, and died on the spot.
But soon, more spiders emerged, and they quickly fought back, spitting out spider silk and shooting at everyone.
"Be careful!"
Lin Yue controlled the Bible and shot out a series of shields to block the spider silk.
"With two of you here, it's really much easier!"
Everyone fought a fierce battle with the spiders.
With everyone's joint efforts, they finally defeated these spiders.
But everyone was a little exhausted, so they took a rest first.
After continuing to go deeper into the Dark Moon Valley, they came to a huge cave.
The cave was emitting a dazzling light, and it seemed that there was some treasure inside.
An adventurer said excitedly"The treasure must be inside, let's go in."
When they walked into the cave, they found a huge magic circle inside.
There was a treasure box on the magic circle.
An adventurer couldn't wait to get the treasure box, but was stopped by Li Taihang.
"Be careful of fraud." Li Taihang said.
"What's the danger there? There's nothing there."
But the adventurer was overwhelmed by the treasure at this time. He pushed Li Taihang away and walked towards the treasure box.
Just when he touched the treasure box, the magic circle suddenly started.
A series of lights shot out from the magic circle, trapping the adventurer in it.
"What's going on?" The adventurer shouted in horror.
"No, don't come over, ah!"
But many poisonous snakes emerged from the magic circle and bit the adventurer to death in an instant. After that, the poisonous snakes went back.
Everyone was terrified when they saw the adventurer who was bitten all over.
"What should we do?" Xingyao didn't expect that there was a magic circle here. With this formation, they couldn't get through.
"Let me take a look."
Lin Yue walked forward and carefully observed the magic circle. She found that this magic circle needed to solve some rune puzzles before it could stop.
She began to study the rune puzzles, and Li Taihang also helped.
After some efforts, they finally solved the rune puzzles and the magic circle stopped working.
Looking at the disappearing magic circle, everyone showed joy.
Xingyao said gratefully to Li Taihang and Lin Yue: "Thank you, it's a good thing to have you, otherwise it would be difficult to get through."
"No need."
Everyone continued to explore the cave. The deeper they went, the more humid the cave became. The stalactites above dripped water from time to time, and the ground was also very slippery, which made them have to walk carefully.
Suddenly, they heard a noisy sound coming from inside the cave.
A group of robbers were walking towards the outside of the cave.
"It looks like there's trouble again." Li Taihang said helplessly.
"Hey, someone broke in?"
Xingyao didn't expect that there were robbers inside.
"I guess the magic circle in front was set up by them." Lin Yue looked at the robbers and said.
Li Taihang clenched the sword in his hand and said, "These robbers are not simple."
The robbers stared at them coldly, "Since you're here, don't leave."
Li Taihang sneered and said, "Then it depends on whether you have the ability."
The robbers rushed up angrily after hearing Li Taihang's words.
"Come on!" The robber leader waved his hand and said.
"Kill."
The robbers behind him rushed up.
"Sword Qi is everywhere."
Li Taihang took the lead.
"Defense." The robber leader said.
"Earth wall!"
"Boom boom boom."
Li Taihang's sword Qi was everywhere, and it was all blocked by the earth wall.
"Hmph!" Li Taihang snorted coldly, and his figure was as fast as lightning, rushing into the group of robbers in an instant.
The robbers didn't expect him to be so fast. Each of his swords contained powerful power. The robbers could only hold on, but they were also beaten to the ground by him.
Lin Yue was not to be outdone. She operated the Bible and fired a series of sacred punishments.
"Ah!"
Others also rushed over and fought with these robbers.
Xingyao was protected by the guards and did not rashly join the battle.
Under the joint attack of Li Taihang and Lin Yue, the robbers were quickly defeated, but they were not willing to give up, so they did not escape from the cave, but activated another magic circle to block them.
These robbers retreated into the cave.
Li Taihang and Lin Yue did not rashly pursue them. Looking at their side, they were fine, but those hired adventurers were dead or injured, and there were not many intact ones.
So, Xingyao simply said: "Deal with our wounded first, take a break and then continue on our way."
"What's wrong with these bandits?" Lin Yue didn't understand why these bandits were here, so he looked at Xingyao and asked.
"They shouldn't be bandits." Xingyao frowned and said.
"What is that?"
"I don't know yet." Xingyao shook his head, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.
These people seemed to have the same purpose as him.
He glanced at everyone present, sighed lightly, and was not in a hurry to move forward.
After the wounded were dealt with, let them stay to recover, and the others continued to move forward under the leadership of Xingyao.
As for the magic circle, it had been directly cracked by Lin Yue while everyone was resting.
Without the obstruction of the magic circle, they could continue to move forward.
But along the way, Lin Yue did not dare to relax at all, she had a bad feeling, and whispered to Li Taihang: "Taihang, it shouldn't be so peaceful here, they must have done something, you have to be careful."
"I know."
Li Taihang nodded gently.
At the same time, he looked at Xingyao, and they followed behind him, and even those adventurers were much more obedient at this time.
They already understood that perhaps only Li Taihang and Lin Yue could lead them to move forward, so they were all very obedient.
And under the investigation of Li Taihang and Lin Yue, more hidden magic circles were indeed found.
Those magic circles were either bright or dark, which made everyone stunned.
"Sure enough, they are not ordinary robbers."
"Yeah, how could real robbers spend so much money?"
The experience along the way also opened the eyes of these adventurers. At this time, they heard Lin Yue say: "Let's take a rest in front. When I just broke those magic circles, I consumed a lot of energy and need to recover."
