Chapter 137 Escape from death with a terrifying loud noise
Crash!
In the dark environment, fire suddenly appeared.
In the central area of the warehouse.
A rebel wearing steel armor and a red cloak appeared. The dim firelight in his hand lit up, reflecting his pale and wrinkled face.
"It's rare to see the important people guarding Leiser." A soft voice sounded.
The old rebel looked at Tai Lung and Huo Jixing who opened the giant steel door, and an unforgettable hatred suddenly appeared in his cloudy eyes.
“The nobles exploited us, but you turned a blind eye.”
“Now, I follow the will of the pale lady and take you into the underworld together!”
The dim light of the fire It fell, intending to ignite the black powder accumulated around it.
Buzz!
In an instant.
A flash of silver light flickered, extinguishing the falling fire with incomparable accuracy.
Huo Jixing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Just when he was about to speak out, he heard a small sound.
Then, a deafening explosion sounded in the ears, making people feel that the whole world was trembling.
Boom!
Within the field of vision, tons of black powder exploded, and the energy and heat generated were released instantly, burning the surrounding air and objects.
The dark passages, wide halls, deep warehouses, and solid workshops collapsed instantly under the shock wave of black gunpowder.
Suddenly!
A huge roar sounded from the workshop, causing the mountains to tremble.
The rebels who stayed at the foot of the workshop and the mountains looked up in horror and saw that the hills on the creeping plain were undergoing thrilling changes, and the workshop halfway up the mountain was slowly collapsing.
The surface of the hill began to tremble and shake violently, as if a giant hand was kneading it.
Immediately afterwards, huge stones rolled down from the mountain. They rolled in mid-air and made a loud rumbling sound.
As the stones rolled down, the surface of the hill began to collapse. A huge landslide poured down from the mountain like a giant dragon, destroying the collapsed workshop and drowning the rebels who had no time to leave.
The collapse caused by the explosion of black powder continued for a long time until the surface of the hill was changed beyond recognition, replaced by a mess and rubble.
The blood-red sky sheds some bright sunshine.
In the collapsed workshop on the mountainside, there were bursts of tiny sounds.
Crash!
In the rubble-strewn pile of rubble, a silver sword suddenly appeared, lifting up the buried boulder, and then a red-gold flame rose.
Tailong and Huo Jixing climbed out of the ruins caused by the explosion, looking slightly embarrassed.
The robe Huo Jixing was wearing had long been turned into strips and hung on his body. The purple inner armor was also somewhat damaged, and traces of scorch could be seen.
"Thank you!" He looked at Tai Lung beside him and thanked him softly.
At the moment when the black powder exploded, if Tai Lung hadn't stood in front of him and resisted most of the fire shock wave, he would have been even more embarrassed than he was now.
Even so, most of the blood in his body has been consumed, and his face looks extremely haggard.
Tailon's silver cloak was also scorched in several places, but his condition looked much better.
"Black gunpowder!"
The hilly terrain Huo Jixing looked around had already changed its appearance.
The once solid workshops were covered by landslides, and the hills have become ruins. Traces of washouts can be seen everywhere, as well as corpses piled under rubble buildings.
"Why do the rebels know our identities?"
Huo Jixing thought of the last words of the old rebel, and doubts arose in his heart.
"And the pale lady!" He looked at Tyrone.
While in the warehouse, Tyrone's mood changed obviously when he heard the old rebel say the four words "pale lady".
"Let's go back."
Tailong seemed to see Huo Jixing's doubts and did not explain, but took the lead to leave the ruins.
Seeing this, Huo Jixing had no choice but to follow him, crossing the complicated hilly terrain, gradually moving further and further away from the area where the rebels were.
On the way back, Huo Jixing saw the rebuilt Noxian camp.
Not far from Rocklund, the terrain is relatively flat.
There are many war masons busy around the camp. They are surveying the terrain, as if they are studying something.
There are armored and sharp Noxian soldiers beside you, who are responsible for security matters.
The original purpose of Tai Lung and Huo Jixing was to conduct investigations in the Noxian camp. However, after being attacked by black powder in the workshop, Tyrone seemed to have an insight into something, ignored the camp, and returned directly to Rocklund.
Outside the majestic city walls, there are flat and wide trade roads.
Huo Jixing saw many injured Noxian soldiers entering the city for treatment along the specially opened passage.
Entering the city, an atmosphere of panic and panic filled the sky.
Business associations have arranged for guards to inspect the many shops on the bustling streets to prevent accidents.
Huo Jixing frowned, somewhat underestimating the impact of the Noxus war group's failure.
He followed Tai Lung to the outside of the castle of Nasr, the orderly officer, and unexpectedly saw that the castle had also entered a state of martial law. Many guards were fully armed and lined up to defend the castle.
"What? Perry is dead?"
In the living room, Huo Jixing looked surprised when he heard the news given by Nasr.
"Yes, he died unexpectedly in my castle without anyone noticing." Nasr's once kind face was gone, and it was so gloomy that it dripped water.
Death that goes unnoticed.
This means that the murderer can threaten the lives of Nasr and everyone in the castle at any time.
As the orderly officer of Rocklund, receiving such a threat but being unable to do anything really made Nasr feel irritable.
"Some people don't want you to come forward to calm the panic in Locklond." Huo Jixing said bluntly after pondering for a while.
The array of guards outside the castle tells of Nasr's fear and prevents him from leaving the castle.
"They hope to see the panicked Rocklund!"
Tailon raised his eyes slightly when he heard this, and sneered vaguely: "I'm going out."
Inside the steel workshop With his help, and now the rhythm is set up in Lokronde, is it really true that the Noxian High Command is empty?
“You stay here!”
Tailong glanced at Huo Jixing, and then his eyes fell on Nasr.
Then the figure flickered and left the castle.
Huo Jixing saw Nasr's gaze and said comfortingly: "Handle things by yourself and arrange a nearby room for me at will."
He knew what Tailong meant. Let him protect Nasr.
After all, he is Rocklund's orderly officer, and he cannot allow any accidents to occur in the current situation.
“Come this way, my lord!”
Nasr's butler spoke respectfully and led Huo Jixing to the nearby lounge.
Huo Jixing nodded slightly, and after instructing the housekeeper to bring some food, he sat cross-legged and entered the state of "Inside View of the Body".
The shock wave of black powder eventually caused damage to him in a small environment.
Although it looks fine on the surface, many organs are damaged, misaligned, or have internal bleeding. He needs to recover from his injuries as soon as possible.
After the sumptuous food was served, Huo Jixing swallowed and digested while thinking about the impact of the defeat of the Noxus war group.
Now in the Noxus Empire, there are only two and a half people who can influence many war groups and generals.
One is Darius.
But he was in the midst of clearing out the corrupt aristocratic forces within the empire and had no time to care.
Half is Draven.
This guy is now immersed in gladiatorial performances and will not leave the capital easily.
Another one is Swain.
As the leader of Noxus and his achievements in establishing Shurima, he is enough to suppress many war groups and generals in the empire.
Huo Jixing's eyes flashed and he realized something.
Perhaps the person hiding in the secret is just to let Swain come over.
The new Noxus Empire is in the midst of a power change that has not been seen in thousands of years.
As the core figure who caused power changes, Swain has long been the target of many people who want to get rid of him quickly.
"A confrontation between the old and new forces of the Noxian Empire?"
