Chapter 525 The Mezzanine of the Secret Passage
A series of questions were racing through my mind, and the fire outside had spread to the cave.
There's nothing to burn in the whole hall except for the oil, and if we hold on a little longer, will the fire go out of its own way?
As soon as this thought rose in my head, I denied my own thoughts.
Just look at the raging fire outside, you can see that the fire will not stop for a while and a half, but it is also rising rapidly. The pipelines that feed the sea of fire are by no means limited to those in the secret room.
We hide in the crevices of the rocks, and if we don't get burned, we have to be roasted alive.
I didn't have time to think about it, I reached out and grabbed the iron ring on the ground and pulled it outward, and the sound of the mechanism turning immediately rolled from under my feet to my back, and in the blink of an eye, the stone crack behind us expanded again on both sides like an open door, revealing a stone staircase that led to the ground.
"Let's go!" I barely hesitated as I retreated to the bottom of the stone steps with Xia Qingqing and them, and rushed into a secret room before stopping.
But before I could stand on my feet, I felt a violent red light coming from behind us, and I didn't have to look back to know that the barrier I had dug out didn't stop the flames at all, and the fire had chased down the stairs.
"Close the door!" Xia Qingqing and I shot out at the same time to close the door of the secret room.
Originally, I was still worried that the stone gate, which was only a few inches thick, would not be able to stop the raging fire outside, but I didn't expect that after the stone gate was closed, there were six or seven loud sounds of the stone gate landing on the stairs outside.
Listening to the sound, there were at least six broken dragon stones, which fell from the sky in an instant, cutting off the entire passage. My cold sweat dripped down my forehead - the fire can't get in, but how can we get out?
Xia and I looked at each other lightly, and at the same time saw the panic in each other's eyes.
I gently patted Xia Qingqing's shoulder: "There will always be a way out, rest assured!"
When I turned my head to look at the secret room, I found that there was only a circular pool and a dozen vents in the secret room.
It seems that this secret room is specially designed for people to escape after the dungeon fires. However, why did the person who designed the secret room have to hide it in the crack in the stone? Is it just for concealment?
I walked slowly to the edge of the pool and looked down at it.
The water of the pond is so clear that people who are used to seeing pure water will feel that it has a strange clarity when they see it.
"You two go back!" I asked Xia to be light, Su Zimo took a few steps back, and reached out into the pool water.
I wanted to see what was so special about the water, but when my palm touched the water, there was a sharp pain on my fingertips that looked like my fingers had been cut by a knife.
Instinctively, when I lifted my hand upward, the round beads of blood fell into the water in strings - my fingers somehow lost a layer of flesh, and the blood on my hands couldn't stop falling into the water.
Before I could look at the wound on my hand, I saw that I fell into the water and the blood spread out in all directions. In an instant, the pool water was dyed a blood-red color, and the originally smooth as a mirror water vibrated with it, and between waves of blood waves stirring and jumping in the water, a series of bubbles were set off at the bottom of the pool.
"Stand back!" I took a few steps backwards in a row, pulled out the knife and pointed at the blood pool, Xia was light, and Su Zimo retreated to the left and right sides of me at the same time, forming a zigzag position with me, facing the pool.
We had only been standing for a few seconds before we heard the sound of the mechanism opening behind us.
"Get down!" I rolled and fell, and countless arrows flew over our heads.
Just as I was trying to get up, I felt a tremor from the ground on my hands on the ground catapult from the ground in front of me.
There's a hidden weapon underground!
I slammed my palm to the ground, and the whole person bounced up from the ground with the force of my palm, and the rows of steel knives also chased my body out of the ground in an instant, and the shiny tip of the knife almost touched the tip of my nose before it stopped the momentum of the ejection, but the mechanism on the wall behind us was activated again.
Out of the corner of my eye, I just glanced at the wall, and I knew that I couldn't dodge the secondary firing weapon anymore.
The moment I scanned the wall, countless scale-like blades rose from the wall, like a mad blizzard, covering the sky from the moment it appeared, and unless I was willing to lie on the ground covered with blades, it would be impossible to dodge the overwhelming scale knife.
"Hide behind me!" I roared and stopped Xia Qingyi behind me at the same time, as for which of them was in what position, I couldn't look at it, and I didn't have time to see it.
The Fish-Scale Knife came in an instant, and I stood in front of me with both hands, protecting my head and face, and letting the sharp blade scrape through me.
According to common sense, such a dense secret weapon is enough to cut me with a thousand knives in the blink of an eye.
However, I don't know if it was because the mechanism had fallen into disrepair and lost its original strength, or because of some other reason, the flying blades only cut through my skin and bounced to the ground.
By the time the stormy secret weapon swept by, I didn't hurt anything except for dozens of thin cuts on my body. Xia Qingqing's injuries were not even as serious as mine, but a few bloody wounds were cut on both sides of their bodies.
Before I could speak to Xia Qingqing, a secret door automatically opened on the other side of the secret room.
We definitely can't get out of the front of the secret room, and we have to get out of the new door if we don't want to be trapped alive in the secret room.
I didn't have time to think about anything, so I picked up Xia Qingqing and ran into the secret door, I took a special look at the pool before I got out of the secret room, the pool water was already a lot clearer at that time, and the blood that had fallen into the water seemed to have begun to settle to the bottom of the pool.
At that glance, I didn't see anything wrong.
What I didn't know was that shortly after I left the chamber, the pool was again filled with blood and mist.
In normal times, I should have taken another look into the secret room, but before I could turn back, the broken dragon stone weighing a thousand pounds smashed down in front of the door of the secret room, and the broken dragon stone burst up and flew several meters away, passing by my ears.
I didn't bother to look at the inside of the chamber and ran all the way to the passage behind the only chamber.
The Broken Dragon Stone that fell from the sky seemed to be deliberately forcing us all the way forward, and a boulder would fall every certain distance.
The loud sound of the stones hitting the ground chased us a few hundred meters away before it gradually stopped.
As I put my hands on the wall and gasped, I heard voices outside the wall.
I stood up and touched the wall a few times before I found a dark compartment where I could see outside.
I don't know what the other side of the dark grid is used to disguise it. However, I'm sure that the original purpose of this passage was to monitor the underground palace outside.
If I guessed correctly, the entire Fox Palace underground palace is designed in the style of the inner and outer mezzanine, most people can move freely in the underground palace, but a few people can stand in the mezzanine of the wall to observe everything outside.
I tilted my head sideways and looked out, but I didn't expect that the mechanism hidden under the dark compartment could turn back and forth like a human eyeball, and see everything in the outer half of the hall clearly.
As soon as I saw more than a dozen detectives gathered in the hall, Su Zixuan's voice came faintly: "Li Qi." Are there really ghosts in the world?"
Li Qi said impatiently: "Where are the ghosts in the world? Why haven't I seen them? I don't need to scare myself." ”
Su Zixuan said in a low voice: "But we have already killed that person three times, and he is still ......"
"Shut your mouth for me!" Richie roared, "Someone must be playing tricks......"
While Li Qi was talking, another person's voice sounded in the hall: "I told you a long time ago that you can't kill me! The more you kill me in my previous life, the faster I will come back......
"Get out!" Su Zixuan was the first to uncontrollably launch a madness, raising her gun and sweeping wildly at the wall.
The detective hand, who could barely calm down, seemed to be infected by Su Zixuan's fear, and all of them raised their guns in an instant and fired wildly at the wall, I saw someone turn the muzzle of the gun in my direction, and quickly turned around and threw Xia Qingqing and Su Zimo to the ground.
As soon as the three of us touched the ground, bullets piercing through the walls passed over our heads......
Li Qi outside roared angrily: "Stop, stop it all." Do you hear ......?"
Although Li Qi's angry roar mixed with the gunfire was indistinct, the gunfire outside stopped for a moment, and when I looked out, there were two more corpses on the ground, and it seemed that Li Qi had killed two of his subordinates before forcibly suppressing the scene.
Li Qi slapped Su Zixuan in the face: "If you dare to go crazy, I will kill you first no matter what the elder commands." ”
"But ......" Su Zixuan just covered her face and said two words, and then slapped Li Qi again: "From now on, when I don't let you speak, you'd better shut your mouth for me." ”
"Huh...... Why bother?" the voice hiding in the shadows sneered, "There is no shame in being afraid at this time. ”
Ironclad?
It was only then that I heard the other party's voice, which was iron.
Li Qi said sharply: "Who is pretending to be a ghost over there, get out of here." ”
Tie Qing said lightly: "I haven't been reincarnated yet, so I can't get out." When I am reincarnated, I will come out to see you, so there is no need to worry. ”
Someone trembled, "Who are you, and what is this place?"
I breathed a sigh of relief: someone finally got the idea.
Tie Qing laughed and said, "This is the land of reincarnation. Anyone who walks in will continue to experience reincarnation and birth and death, and be born in the underground palace one life after another. ”
"Let's put it this way!" Tie Qing's voice paused: "Everyone's previous life is different, maybe that life is reduced to the beast path and becomes a fox." ”
"If, if you are lucky, you become a fox in the land of reincarnation, then congratulations, you will become the royal family of the underground palace. If you've always been reincarnated as a human body, hehe......"
Tie Qing's voice sank and said: "I can only send you four words: 'The world is a slave'"
