The people standing behind the city lords, whether they were from Xiong Ba's faction or Qu Tieyi's faction, became more and more nervous when they heard the conversation between Xiong Ba and Qu Tieyi.

The two city lords did not avoid them at all during their discussion.

Those words like "No wonder you brought so many warriors with you", "So it's for this", "Exploring the way", any one of these three words was enough to make them imagine.

And when these three words are linked together, in this dangerous environment, anyone with a little imagination can guess what their city lord is planning! !

The city lord brought so many of them here this time so that they could explore the cave full of scarlet roots one by one!

It requires these people to risk their lives to explore!
The Dou Huang who had finally escaped death was filled with fear as he looked at the cave which was not wide but had no bottom in sight and had roots constantly waving up and down.

People on both sides began to exchange panicked glances and even talk loudly.

There was a commotion in the entire cave, stimulating the tentacles on both sides of the wall and in the small caves on the rock wall to swing a little faster.

For this operation, Xiong Ba's group had already been informed of the arrangements before they came.

But at that time, most of the Dou Ling and Dou Wang were brought along.

These Dou Huangs thought that there were hundreds of low-level warriors to fill each city, and they were lucky enough to never think that it would be their turn to explore the way.

However, they didn't expect that this time, because of the terrifying sea monster with mouths all over it, all the low-level warriors from the Thirteen Cities were left there.

Now only they, the Dou Huang, are left.

Even after escaping from the sea of ​​blood, I had thought about this situation.

But they still don't know what exactly the city lord wants them to explore.

If the exploration can be completed with only a small number of people, then it may not be their turn.

I felt lucky and didn't lose my composure.

However, now that they saw the cave on the rock wall, they realized how dangerous this kind of "exploration" was!
Those scarlet roots were underground. Not to mention the Dou Huangs like them, even the city lord at the Dou Zong level couldn't destroy them at all.

Once they got in, they had no other options except to escape.

If they could interrupt or block those roots by some means, they might not be so frightened.

The fear in their hearts spread, and they couldn't control themselves, with an expression of horror that was hard to conceal on their faces.

The people from Qu Tieyi and Shui Qianmo's faction had even more shock on their faces.

Most of them received temporary orders from the city lord and came here.

There was no preparation at all for these so-called exploratory missions.

At this moment, they were asked to face the scarlet terror, and everyone was trembling in their hearts.

In fear and panic, all the Dou Huangs in the cities were at a loss.

Shui Qianmo, the deputy city lord of Yujia City, both breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the conversation between Xiong Ba and Qu Tieyi.

It turns out that this was Xiong Ba's idea.

In their moment of anger, they didn't expect that they had lost their composure for no reason.

Indeed, they are the city lords.

There are so many subordinates behind him.

How could they, who are of noble status, possibly undertake such a dangerous task as exploring the way?

At times like this, it's time for your subordinates to shine.

Thinking of this, the two city lords became panicked.

His expression returned to calm and he stopped blaming Xiong Ba.

In the noisy cave, Xiong Ba was discussing some details with Qu Tieyi, Zhang He and others.

After just a brief exchange, Zhang He nodded.

Immediately, his gaze swept towards a one-star Dou Huang who was discussing loudly with others in the crowd.

The one-star Douhuang had a panicked look on his face.

When the city lord's eyes fell on him, the half of his face that was intact instantly turned pale.

I couldn't help but take a few steps back.

But he heard Zhang He hum~! His fighting spirit was a little slowed down. He stopped abruptly.

He looked at Zhang He in horror and stammered:

"I am the lord of the city."

Zhang He's face turned cold and he shouted:

"come over!!".

This shout did not carry any Dou Zong aura.

But Zhang He has been the lord of Huolin City for decades, and anyone who disobeys him has been executed by him. He has his own majesty.

The one-star Dou Huang, upon hearing that unquestionable voice, knew that he could not escape.

He could only move towards Zhang He tremblingly.

When he got close to Zhang He, Zhang He reached out and pulled him behind him.

Pulled to a small cave on the rock wall, facing the scarlet horror.

Looking at the scarlet roots in the cave that seemed to have sensed something and were swinging even more vigorously than before, the Dou Huang's teeth were chattering.

Zhang He once again pointed to two guys with lower cultivation levels from Huolin City, who walked out of the crowd trembling and came behind Zhang He.

Not a single one of Xiong Ba's men from Fenglin City was left.

Of course, no one can come out.

As for the other party's share, Huolin City would pay for it.

This time, Huolin City has the largest number of remaining people among the five cities.

It wouldn't hurt if he had one more.

Besides, things have come to this point, the ancient ruins are right in front of us, and a few sacrifices are nothing.

Just think of it as your men dying in a sea of ​​blood. There's nothing to feel sad about.

Next came the mayors of Zhalei City and Jieyang City, each of whom designated one person.

The Lord of Liusha City still has one subordinate left.

But the remaining one is a high-level Douhuang, whose cultivation is higher than most people in Zhalei City and Jieyang City.

In the discussion just now, it was ranked at the back and has not been designated yet.

Next came Shui Qianmo, Yujiacheng and some others.

There was no one left in Tieyi City, so Qu Tieyi naturally did not specify anything.

Shui Qianmo was generous this time and designated three people at a time.

At first, I thought he was asked to go directly into the cave, which scared him so much that his heart was pounding.

Now, knowing that he could use his men to explore the way, he felt relieved and he did not object at all.

I would rather die than let my friend die. As long as a few of my subordinates can find him a safe way, I will not feel any pain.

With a wave of his hand, he even used fighting skills to bring the three men from Frost City behind him and stood them under the cave entrance.

The deputy city lord of Yujia City also generously pointed out two people.

The city lords in golden and black robes also pointed out two people each.

There are still quite a few of them left, and they are all quite generous in their efforts.

Soon, the city lords pointed out a team of fourteen explorers, corresponding to the fourteen small scarlet caves on the rock wall behind them.

After these people were pointed out, the panic in the crowd was reduced a lot, and the noise gradually stopped.

The remaining people focused all their attention on the fourteen people in front.

There is gratitude, pity for people they know, and even gloating over the misfortune of watching a show.
