Chapter 18: A Delaying Strategy

The corpse witch pressed his hand to the groove that resembled the palm of his hand on the Bagua map, and soon the scene I had seen before appeared. The entire stone platform sank slightly, and then the stone box slowly rose. This stone box is about twice the size of the Rubik's Cube we usually play with. There are strange spiral patterns on the surface, and if you look closely, it seems that it can indeed be turned.

The Witch picked up the stone box, and then said in that staccato and hoarse voice, "Open it, let you go." If you can't open it, you ...... dead."

Isn't this slander? I cursed in my heart, but I didn't say anything in my mouth. I took the stone box from the corpse witch's hand, and when it landed in my hand, it felt lighter than I had imagined. I tapped it gently, and it seemed hollow. I picked it up and shone it on the fire overhead, the stone box had no gaps so I couldn't see any fire, and the spiral lines carved on the surface of the stone box were intermittent, but in my opinion they should be connected. I tried to turn the stone box, and I thought it was the same thing as the Rubik's Cube, which could be partially rotated. But unexpectedly, I twisted, and the stone box can indeed be turned, but it doesn't seem to be able to do whatever I want. Some noodles can be turned, but some noodles can't. I tried it a few times and found that I had to follow the direction of the spiral pattern to turn it. But after fiddling with it for a while, if it rotated exactly according to these spiral patterns, the stone box could not be opened. It's a strange thing, it can turn according to the lines, but it can't be opened when it turns. If you don't follow the lines, you can't even turn.

What the hell is going on with this thing?

I frowned, feeling a little angry. The Witch kept watching me, but its patience was slowly wearing off over time. When he saw that I had been fiddling with for a while, but I couldn't open it, he finally burst out, grabbed my wrist, snatched the stone box from my hand, and then opened his mouth and roared, and the white-faced monsters around him immediately surrounded me and grabbed me.

"Wait!"

I hurriedly shouted at the corpse witch.

"I need time, you wait patiently, give me a day, and I may be able to unlock the secret of this stone box. ”

This was still a delaying tactic, and the corpse witch looked at me, and finally snorted coldly, and let the monster next to me put me down. As soon as I landed, I breathed a sigh of relief. The corpse witch carefully handed me the stone box, and then said coldly, "One day, or ...... die"

In fact, according to my analysis, there is still a difference between Luo Qiong and Shen Mengtian after falling into the hands of the white-faced monster. Before, I always thought that Shen Mengtian and Luo Qiong would eventually turn into white-faced monsters or be eaten if they were caught. But after today's incident, I found that there was something wrong. Perhaps Luo Qiong was caught by the white-faced monster, and the final result was to become another white-faced monster. But Shen Mengtian won't, if I'm not mistaken, the corpse witch let the white-faced monster catch Shen Mengtian, in fact, let her unlock the secret of this stone box. Shen Mengtian was smarter than Shanliwa from the outside, so she was only locked in the sarcophagus after being caught, instead of being knocked unconscious and dragged away.

But now that Shen Mengtian has been rescued, the responsibility of opening the box has fallen on me. From the side, Shen Mengtian seems to have saved my life!

I've never been very savvy with Rubik's cubes, or decrypting toys like that. When I was a child, there were a few Kongming locks at home, and I was quite interested at first, but unfortunately I couldn't open the Kongming lock after tinkering for half a night. Later, I asked the kid who was the first in the class to try it, and it was done during a recess. I had to admit at the time that there was a real gap in IQ.

I'm not good at unlocking, and I definitely won't be able to open this stone box in the end, but it's good to delay for a day. Looking at the gossip map on the stone platform, I don't know what dynasty left it, but on the whole, it seems that it is quite complete. I walked around the stone platform and tried to press a few places, but none of the signs on this gossip map were mechanisms, so I couldn't press them.

The corpse witch kept staring at me, and this guy's eyes were like poisonous snakes, and I felt uncomfortable looking at them. After being stared at for a long time, I couldn't help but turn around and shout: "Your uncle, can you stop staring at me, I can't fucking run away." ”

The corpse witch snorted coldly, and the white-faced monster next to me immediately howled at me, I quickly shrunk my neck and shouted, "Come on, you are all uncles, I admit my mistake!"

After looking at the gossip map for a long time, it seems that there is some connection between this gossip map and the stone box in my hand, this box was originally taken out of the stone platform, maybe there is some kind of commonality between the two, but I really don't understand this aspect.

Since I couldn't understand it, I didn't think about opening this stone box, so I simply began to think about how to get myself out. There is only one exit to this chamber so far, and the white-faced monster and the necro witch are also coming in through that exit. Apparently there should be no other way here, how can I find a way to get out? If the number of white-faced monsters is halved, I might try, but now I am too unadvantaged, outnumbered.

Since I didn't have a watch, I calculated in my mind that it would have been about two or three hours.

If something happens, there may be a chance to escape. I thought to myself, I didn't expect it to happen!

"Boom!"

There was a loud noise on the roof of the secret room, and then the whole zenith began to shake, and my heart moved slightly, is this caused by the explosion? It is very likely that it is not too strong in terms of power, it should be Diane and Gu Yu in trouble.

"Boom!"

Another bang, this time I'm more sure. Turning back to the Corpse Witch, he said, "You seem to be in trouble. ”

The Corpse Witch glared at me with cold eyes, a menacing growl from his mouth. I shrugged my shoulders and stopped talking, and then the Witch turned his head and roared, and the white-faced monster in the lead whimpered and left the chamber with four of his men. As a result, the number of white-faced monsters in the entire chamber has been reduced by half!

This is my only chance!

It is estimated that it will be about thirty meters from the stone platform to the door, or even longer, and if there is no accident in running with all my might, it may take three to four seconds, that is, if I can run towards the door by surprise and can win four seconds, I can run out of the secret room!

Pretending to study the stone box, I took a few steps back, the corpse witch still watching warily. Everything was calm on the surface, but my heart was beating violently. With a slight movement of my ankles, I was not running slowly, and I might be able to rush out.

Count down in my heart, five, four, three, two-one!

I turned around and ran towards the gate, not daring to look back, four seconds, so short but too precious for me now. I was breathing so hard that I felt like my heart was about to burst out. The gate seemed to be in front of me, and I could see the light of escape.

I had already rushed to the stone gate, and just as I was about to run out, I suddenly heard an angry roar from behind, and then a white-faced monster pounced on me from behind, and because of the strength, it knocked me directly to the ground. I landed and rolled several times in a row, and then stabbed the white-faced monster with my beast bone dagger. This guy was stabbed through the heart by me, and blood immediately flowed out. However, because the time I fell to the ground delayed my escape plan, the white-faced monster behind me also pounced.

", I'm fighting with you!"

I roared and pushed away the dead white-faced monster, and two monsters rushed from the left and right in quick succession, and my resistance was much weaker under the force. They knocked me to the ground, and one of them bit my thigh, and I screamed in pain.

"Loosen your mouth!"

I pierced the white-faced monster's neck with a dagger, but it bit my thigh and wouldn't let go. I was heartbroken, and I stabbed it several times before it fell to the ground, but three white-faced monsters pounced on me from behind.

Two of them bit my arm, and the other opened its bloody mouth and bit me straight to my head.

"Whew!"

The roar sounded like thunder in my ears, and its sharp teeth bit at my head, and with a little more force, the fangs might pierce my skull. That's when the unthinkable happened.

A strange and invisible powerful force catapulted the white-faced monster who bit my head away, and this scene was just like the last time I tried to kill my Lingqian, the white-faced monster was knocked ten meters away, and when he fell to the ground, he was already out of breath!"
