Chapter 19: One Cave and Nine Paths
The eyes of Mo Tear and his party were fixed on the wall, all of them were as happy as the nectar of a long drought, they tried to open this wall countless times, but they all failed, and this time it was very likely to succeed, and one person was very excited.
Whoever is curious and afraid of the unknown, perhaps they have tried too long and failed too many times, and they have no fear of everything behind that wall at the moment except their curiosity and delight.
But seeing that the wall still did not change in the slightest, the eyes of hope gradually dimmed, and joy and curiosity gradually turned into disappointment and frustration.
"What? Nothing has changed. Gou Jian complained in frustration: "I thought it should be opened this time, it seems that we are really going to be trapped here." ”
When the words fell, everyone's dim gaze filled the door again, and the wall slowly cracked along the middle, and the dust on the wall sprinkled one by one, reflecting the fluorescence on the wall, which looked psychedelic and hazy.
They were all in a happy mood and a little nervous, silently staring at the gradually widening crack, their faces beaming with joy and joy in their eyes.
At this moment, they are all in their hearts, thanking God, thanking the earth, and thanking that this wall has finally opened, how difficult it is. They were all as happy as if they had completed the eighth wonder of the world.
This kind of happy sword expression is vividly expressed, he holds his palms together and raises it high, keeps swaying up and down, keeps looking up and kowtowing, like a believer praying to heaven, almost kneeling on the ground, weeping with gratitude.
Mo Tear was also relieved, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, the opening of this wall at least proved that the words of the dragon man who possessed Long Long should be credible, and at the same time opened a way for them not to be trapped here.
When everyone was immersed in joy, the ground cracked and snapped shut, and this loud sound frightened Mo Tear, hurriedly lowered his head, looked at the ground in horror, and found that there was nothing unusual, and raised his head again with a blank face.
"Where are the people?
Mo Tear looked around except for Long Long and Long Xun, and saw no one else, so he asked for the first time.
"The ground just opened its mouth, then it closed again, and they all fell. "Tatsutaki danced vividly.
Mo Tear looked surprised, hurriedly fell to the ground, and kept shouting, "Xiaomu, Gou Jian." ”
Mo Tear didn't know that when he heard the snap, their bodies instantly fell down, and they screamed in horror, but their voices still couldn't reach the ground.
They were still falling down at the moment, Gou Jian quickly regained his senses, adjusted his vitality, and the three thin swords on his back quickly danced around in the darkness at will.
He was testing the size of the space below, and found that there seemed to be no obstruction around, and he looked down slightly, and could not see the bottom, as if it was the most abyss, endless.
But with the faint light, he saw a shadow of a white shirt and a light shirt, it was Da Xi Yaoshui, and he saw a wisp of light cyan silk tulle with a light blue belt floating around her waist, it was Lin Xiaomu.
He was about to speak, but he was pierced in the eye by a dazzling light, he instinctively closed his eyes and raised his head suddenly, his body gradually lost his balance, and fell down like a blank piece of paper.
With a muffled bang, Gou Jian's face fell to the ground, but Da Xi Yaoshui and Lin Xiaomu fell to the ground upright, and the moment Gou Jian fell from the sky, they were startled.
"What about the others?" asked Lin Xiaomu.
Gou Jian looked ignorant, obviously the fall just now had not relieved him, he raised his head to the extreme, looking at the arched stone wall not far from the sky, his face was even more confused.
"We fell from above, right? Why are there stone walls above us?" Gou Jian looked confused and let out a thick questioning voice.
Da Xi Yaoshui and Lin Xiaomu quickly raised their heads, and there was a trace of confusion in their anxious eyes, obviously they were also confused and confused by this strange scene.
"Ink tears, where are you?" Gou Jian shouted, but after all, he could only hear a distant echo.
They only looked around now, and found that they were now in a huge circular cave, surrounded by nine roads, and in the middle there was a pool of clear water, I don't know how deep.
That's not the point, it's how the hell did they fall? They had arched stone walls above their heads, and no matter how they fell, they couldn't have fallen here...... Gou Jian tried to control the thin sword to stab at the stone wall above his head, and there were a few loud bangs, and the wall was as hard as iron and difficult to shake.
"What the hell is this place? Fuck ......"
Gou Jian began to scold his mother loudly, scolding very heartily, as long as he is a hot-blooded man, will he open his mouth loudly? Originally, it was hard to see the opening of the stone wall, what was behind the stone wall? They were full of curiosity and joy, but they did not expect that at this moment of surprise, they fell down inexplicably, for unknown reasons, for unknown reasons, the accident caught them off guard.
When a person feels hopeful, a sudden accident makes them extraordinarily disappointed. Lin Xiaomu also pouted angrily at this moment, extremely agreeing with what Gou Jian said.
Da Xi Yaoshui, on the other hand, is calmer, the surroundings are like daylight, and the central spring water is clear, so there must not be any danger. But she suddenly remembered the two lines on the wall again, and suddenly had a feeling of sudden realization, quickly turned around and scanned the surroundings, and after finding that there was no danger, there was a trace of relaxation between Qingxiu's eyebrows.
"We may be the people who are not destined to be written on the wall, right?" Da Xi Yaoshui calmly analyzed, "Since this is the Dragon Tomb, presumably the people of the Dragon Clan must be fateful, and there is a famous man painted on the side of the stone pillar that looks very similar to ink tears, and in addition, he can have an induction with the stone pillar, so there must be a certain fate." And what about us? From the time we came in to the present, we seem to be out of place here, and we are afraid that we are people who have no fate. ”
Hearing her say this, Gou Jian nodded again and again, expressing his approval, in fact, he didn't understand at all, for him, a person who is proficient in the rivers and lakes and has little reading, how can he understand what it means to be fateful and restrained? He just purely felt that this word was very high and unfathomable, coupled with the perfect image of the other party in his heart, even if what Da Xi Yaoshui said was unreasonable, he would nod.
Lin Xiaomu also felt very reasonable, and also expressed his opinion, "If what you said is right, then Mo Tear, Long Long, and Long Xun must still be on it now, the most important thing at this moment is how to meet them, how to get out of here?"
Gou Jian nodded sincerely again, pretending to think, he also wanted to say some of his opinions, but found that he had nothing to say, with the two thoughtful girls, he was speechless, the most profound speechless.
Da Xi Yaoshui looked at the nine cave doors, looking from the outside, it was pitch black inside, not to mention being able to see the end, Gou Jian was also probing his brain at the entrance of each capital, trying his best to search for useful information.
"There are nine holes in here, each one looks exactly the same, shall we go in one casually first, and see what's inside?" Gou Jian said slowly.
"If you don't have a chance, you have a chance to be cautious. Da Xiyaoshui repeated this sentence in his mouth, and after thinking for a moment, he continued, "We still can't act rashly. ”
Lin Xiaomu was shocked, since we have no chance, as long as we don't enter these holes, nothing will happen, so what about Mo Tear? I'm afraid that his situation is worse than herself at this moment, how can she sit still?
"We should join up with Mo Tear and the others as soon as possible. Lin Xiaomu's words were filled with eagerness and firmness, "I'm afraid they are in danger." ”
Gou Jian nodded again, he has never been a patient person, but also a person who values love and righteousness, he is also very worried about ink tears, even if he knows that there is danger, he will not choose to sit still.
"Good. Da Xi Yaoshui also agreed with this point of view, although she was nine times out of ten sure that the road ahead was full of thorns, but she also had to choose to move forward, even if it was safe here, if she didn't move forward, she was afraid that they would starve to death.
"The so-called no-entry means that you shouldn't have come in the first place, and since you have entered, you have already broken into this game. Da Xi Yaoshui said a new view.
Lin Xiaomu thought for a moment and felt that there was some truth, so as for the nine cave entrances, which one should he choose? This is really a difficult problem.
"Where should we go?" said Gou Jian.
Da Xi Yaoshui and Lin Xiaomu also observed for a long time, and found that there was no difference between these nine holes, and there was no basis to judge that it was better to go to the holes, and at this moment they could only gamble, boldly bet.
"Go into the hole. Lin Xiaomu pointed to the nearest move to the entrance of the cave and said.
"Good. ”
The three of them walked towards the entrance of the cave, but just as they were about to enter the hole, they suddenly heard the sound of water dropping behind them, and they turned around alertly, and saw a column of water suddenly rising in the middle of the pool, like a fountain.
When the three of them were looking at the fascination, suddenly, a few water columns, one by one rose to the sky, around the water column, suddenly appeared a few butterflies with blue flames, around the water droplets slowly flying, and finally more and more butterflies, more scary, they fluttered their wings around the water column, one up and down, magnificent and magnificent.
If you look closely, the water droplets sprayed out by the water column splashed in all directions, falling on the butterfly with blue light shining all over its body, and the white mist evaporated in an instant, and it was psychedelic and hazy.
This astonishing scene frightened them, although this scene was very gorgeous and magnificent, but in their eyes at the moment, the smart and beautiful butterflies were all moving flames, and if they pounced on their bodies, the consequences could be imagined.
Suddenly, between several water columns, a huge red butterfly, fluttering its wings, rose into the air, and they could clearly see that the butterfly's two tentacles like stamens flashed with two flames, and the broad two pairs of wings, like carved lines, flashed with luster, and what was even more terrifying was a pair of eyes that were glowing with blue light.
How do they have time to think about where these butterflies come from, what kind of creatures are they, why are they here?
At the moment they just wanted to escape, but when they took a careful step, the fiery red butterfly, with its blue eyes, looked bluer, and its wings fluttered faster.
In a moment, all the butterflies fluttered towards them, swarming upwards, and it was very scary.
"Run, run. Gou Jian shouted at the first time, but he didn't know that Da Xi Yaoshui and Lin Xiaomu reacted much faster than him, and they had already run towards the dim hole.
Gou Jian quickly turned around and found that they had long since disappeared, so he hurriedly ran forward, running desperately.
The butterfly behind frantically chased, igniting the pitch-black hole, Gou Jian felt that the temperature behind him was getting higher and higher, and the speed under his feet increased a few points.
Da Xi Yaoshui tripped over a stone, and he could hear a clear sound of bone dislocation, Gou Jian did not hesitate, helped her up in the rear, helped her walk a few steps, anxiously looked at the increasingly thick blue light behind her, simply picked her up, and quickly rushed forward.
The speed of the butterfly's flight was too fast, and in a blink of an eye, he caught up with Gou Jian, and a butterfly that flew to the front quickly pounced on Gou Jian's back, and a light blue flame immediately ignited behind Gou Jian, and he was frightened and suddenly his feet suddenly softened, and he fell to the ground together with Da Xi Yaoshui, rolling out a few meters.
Another group of butterflies had also arrived in a blink of an eye, Gou Jian reacted quickly, and immediately pounced on Xi Yaoshui, closing his eyes deadly.
"Five-square formation. Knot. ”
Lin Xiaomu pinched his fingers, and a white barrier blocked the path of the butterfly.
"It's okay, let's go. Lin Xiaomu maintained the formation on the side. He asked eagerly.
Gou Jian quickly raised his head, glanced at her, and then looked back at the butterfly that was stopped behind him, immediately got up, picked up Da Xi Yaoshui and ran without hesitation.
Lin Xiaomu's eyes were solemn, his eyebrows kept trembling slightly, and he tried his best to turn his head to look at the rear, their disappeared figures, his hands were quickly closed, his thin waist was twisted, and he turned around and ran to the rear.
Countless fiery blue butterflies quickly broke through the five-piece formation and galloped forward again, their wings vibrating in unison, setting off a awe-inspiring wind sound.
Gou Jian ran forward as hard as he could, and a white light in front of him caught his eye, and he seemed to see hope, and his steps were faster.
"You put me down and run on your own. Da Xi Yaoshui said eagerly.
Gou Jian ignored her, still holding her tightly and rushing forward.
Lin Xiaomu's figure was like a demon, and his speed was amazing! In an instant, he caught up with them, and almost simultaneously rushed into the thick white light.
They looked around quickly, looking anxious, only to find that it was another huge cave, and there was no way out, and they looked even more panicked.
"What should I do?", Lin Xiaomu asked anxiously.
There was indeed no way around Gou Jian, he gently put down Da Xi Yaoshui, stared at the entrance of the cave, and the three thin swords were straight in front of him, and he said: "There is only a desperate fight." ”
That group of butterflies is not one or two, but thousands, how can this be resisted? But now there is no way to escape, and I can only boldly give it a go.
Lin Xiaomu and Gou Jian were already fully prepared, watching the dazzling blue light flashing at the entrance of the pitch-black cave, and listening to the sound of the wind whistling approaching, they were all nervous to the extreme, and their hands kept twitching, as if they could shake their hands out at any time.
But for some reason, the blue light suddenly disappeared, and the huge fiery red butterfly that flew at the end of the cave stopped at the entrance of the cave, not daring to move forward, and then thousands of blue butterflies gathered together, showing a dazzling blue light, and finally turned into a huge blue butterfly, the size of a fiery red butterfly, and did not dare to advance an inch.
Gou Jian felt very strange, why these two butterflies the same size as himself didn't attack us, seeing them guarding the entrance of the cave like guardian spirits, Gou Jian breathed a sigh of relief, at least at this moment, there was no need to fight hard, this was already the best result he imagined.
......
......
After several tests, the two butterflies seemed to be so afraid of something in the hole that they did not dare to move forward, but looking at the hole, there was nothing strange except for a huge towering tree.
Although they don't know if this is a good thing, at least they can take a reluctantly rest at the moment, discuss countermeasures, and make the next step.
