Chapter 216: Thick Fog
Seeing his frightened face but pretending to be calm, I actually didn't have much bottom in my heart, so I had to smile and say It's okay, don't worry, remember, don't run around when you get to the first floor, you must guard the rope, and wait for us to come down.
He shook his chin and said yes miserably, and then climbed over the fence with my help, while Feng Li dragged the rope at the other end, and put it down little by little, Zhang Chao's colleagues were not idle, they all held their flashlights and looked down.
But I found that it didn't help even if we turned the lights to the brightest, because the fog began to get downstairs, and the fog was already occupying the first floor, and it was heading towards the second floor, and the flashlight hit the fog, and all we could see was a churning "sea of clouds", but nothing else could be seen.
Feng Li whispered in my ear while putting down the rope, "It's strange, Liu Lao and Zhou Kun are on the second floor, they must be able to see the rope we put down, why didn't they react?"
I was puzzled, so I stepped on my feet and looked towards the corridor on the second floor, but unfortunately the thick fog happened to spread there, causing the vision to be completely dark, and I couldn't see anything.
Just when I was in doubt, Feng Li, who was laying the rope, suddenly paused, and then, the half-lowered rope suddenly began to shake, as if it had been pulled by some kind of force, making a "crunch" sound.
"What's going on?" I was shocked and hurriedly yelled at Feng Li, who grabbed the rope and yelled, "I don't know, Zhang Chao may have had an accident!"
Hearing this, we hurriedly lay on the handrail of the corridor and looked down, several flashlights were brushed in the thick fog, and Zhang Chao could not be seen at all, at the same time, the rope head shook more and more, as if there was some terrible existence in the thick fog, and the rope was being pulled.
"Ah......h
Suddenly, Zhang Chao screamed under the thick fog, the rope suddenly broke, there was a soft click, and he was forcibly pulled up by Feng Li, and Zhang Chao on the other end of the rope fell straight down, and soon I heard a "bang" - it was the sound of Zhang Chao dragging to the first floor.
"Zhang Chao......"
At this moment, several of Zhang Chao's colleagues were dumbfounded, and they looked down one by one, collectively calling out his name.
But it didn't work, Zhang Chao didn't know if he fainted or what was going on, he didn't hear the sound, and the fog was getting deeper and deeper, so we couldn't see what was going on where he fell.
Feng Li dragged the broken rope, walked up to me, and said in a low voice, "This thing should have been bitten off by Zhang Chao himself." ”
Yes?
I was even more surprised, and when I looked closely, I found that sure enough, there were many irregular tooth marks where the rope was broken, and it must have been Zhang Chao who wanted to drop the rope by himself after hanging down half of the rope.
But why did he do that?
I was dumbfounded, and several people around me were stupider than me, and they all showed extremely strange expressions.
Yes......
Finally, the girl named Xiaolan couldn't bear this oppressive atmosphere, suddenly screamed, and ran to the entrance of the building.
The direction she ran in was exactly the staircase we had just come up from, and this action also caused a chain reaction, Meng Fan and the rest of Chen Yu all ran down, rushed into the staircase blocked by the dense fog, and disappeared.
"What are you doing, come back!" Looking at the three people who were engulfed in the thick fog, my face changed greatly, and I hurriedly wanted to drag them up, but Feng Li suddenly pressed my shoulder, shook his head and said forget it, let them go.
I struggled hard, and said How can I do that? Feng Li's expression was far more serious than mine, and he said sharply, Then what are you going to do? Now that we are in this situation, we are already in the trap, and we don't even know if we can go downstairs safely, and you still have the heart to save others?
He is an old man, his mind is calmer than mine, and his face is gangster, I was glared at by him, and suddenly sobered up a lot, and sighed bitterly, "But...... Are you going to let these innocent people die in vain?"
Feng Li sighed and said, "The road was chosen by the people themselves, didn't we all do what we had to do." Furthermore, the traps of the magic circle here are mainly used to target cultivators, and you and I are among them, as for these ordinary people, the chances of them escaping alone are greater than when they follow us, after all, the people who secretly control the magic circle will not waste so much energy against them. ”
I had no choice but to agree, regardless of whether Feng Li's theory made sense or not, it was suitable for self-comfort.
The two of us rested back to back for a while, looking at the fog that was gradually deepening around us, and I asked Feng Li what he was going to do? Feng Li pointed to the space downstairs and said that he had no choice but to jump.
Feng Li is a blood clan, he can turn into a bat and fly around at any time, and the three-story height difference is naturally difficult for him, but unfortunately the space under the dense fog is unknown, and no one knows what danger he will encounter when he jumps.
I expressed concern and asked him if he was sure, but Feng Li interrupted me and said that when the matter came, it would be okay if it didn't work, you just stay upstairs first, and I would go downstairs to explore the way.
After speaking, Feng Li jumped and swooped down towards the space in the middle of the floor, his body like a big bird falling into the clouds, and disappeared suddenly.
As soon as he left, I was the only one left on the third floor, looking at the corridor where the wind seeped through, I inevitably felt frightened in my heart, but after so many things, I was no longer a fledgling who had just set foot in the rivers and lakes, and I still had some confidence in my heart, and I silently recited a few words of the meditation mantra of "Taishang Deng's Hidden Decision" in my heart, stabilized my emotions, took a deep breath, and then shouted at the place where the wind fell in the thick fog, "What's going on, what's going on below?"
In the dark space, I was the only one left to wander, deep and low.
I shouted a few times, but Feng Li didn't answer, and the space under the floor covered in thick fog was also dead silent.
I'm the next O'......
Seeing this, I realized that I couldn't wait any longer, I didn't have the ability to fly at low altitude like Feng Li, so I had no choice but to turn my eyes to the staircase again.
What happens if you take the stairs again?
The thought swirled through my mind, prompting me to sit down quickly, settle down, and go on the bandwagon.
It's not as good as the staircase passage, it's still dark in front of you, the fog occupies the view, and the flashlight doesn't make much sense. I simply turned off the flashlight, relied on the capture of the Qi field, and moved down the stairs step by step with my eyes dark.
The wind was measuring all around, and there was a faint ghost cry wandering around me, but I was guarding the emptiness of the spiritual platform and did not show timidity.
Finally, I went down the stairs two floors, and soon a false security door appeared in front of me, and as long as I passed through this door, it should be the hall on the first floor.
Do you want to go in?
The thought lingered in my head for a few seconds, and I gritted my teeth again, reached out, and pushed the door open.
When I pushed the door open, a cold yin air immediately came over the door, and before I could see what was behind the door, I saw a silhouette standing in the thick fog, staring at me with a gloomy look.
It seems to be Zhang Chao......
I was delighted, and stepped forward in one step, who knew that before I had time to say hello, Zhang Chao opened his eyes in vain and stared at me.
Then I realized that the kid's head had been hunching, his neck had been broken, and he was wearing a blue shirt with scarlet blood at the hem of the shirt, which had gathered into a river of blood, wet and stained the marble floor.
"I died so miserably......"
The cold and faint voice echoed throughout the hall on the first floor.
