Chapter 1208: The Land of Hope (11)
Meng Zitao looked at Zhu Zhongshi and said, "Zhu Lao, you are really familiar with this place! I am really a little afraid of being cheated by you." ”
Zhu Zhongshi smiled slightly: "Director Meng, Ming people don't say secret words, I have indeed been here once, those organs are all tried with human life, but because of the lack of key items, I can only retreat with people." ”
Meng Zitao had a faint guess in his heart: "What are the key items you are talking about?"
Zhu Zhongshi said: "You should still have the jade left by the Hua family in your hand." ”
Meng Zitao took out the jade: "That's what you said?"
Zhu Zhongshi said: "Can you show me?"
Meng Zitao was not worried that Zhu Zhongshi would take the jade away, and handed the jade over.
Zhu Zhongshi picked up the jade and looked at it for a while, and then returned it to Meng Zitao: "That's it, now you should believe that I won't cheat you." ”
Meng Zitao shrugged his shoulders with a smile, wishing Zhongshi this "old ginger", he dared to believe it, it was strange, but it was still necessary to be false and wrong.
There was an intuitive reminder that he was not very worried about Zhu Zhongshi's ghost, but it was obviously impossible to let him go into the secret passage.
"Zhu Lao, you are old, respecting the old and loving the young is a Chinese virtue, or you are advanced. ”
Zhu Zhongshi smiled, didn't say much, let his subordinates go first, and then enter by himself.
However, just as Meng Zitao was about to walk into the dark passage, there was a sudden rumbling sound, and even the ground shook a little, as if an earthquake had occurred.
The sudden change made Meng Zitao stop, and Zhu Zhongshi and others, who had already entered the dark passage, also came back.
"What's going on? Earthquake?" Zhu Zhongshi also thought it was an earthquake.
"Not really, I feel more like something you've exploded!"
Meng Zitao frowned and said, "What I'm worried about now is whether the Pony King's back hand left in my camp will be detonated because of your actions just now. I'm going to go out and have a look now. ”
As soon as he entered the palace, the walkie-talkie was cut off, and he had to get out of the palace to know what was going on in the camp.
"Uh......" Zhu Zhongshi really wanted Meng Zitao to stay and find the formula as soon as possible, but if there was really an explosion in the camp, he was also worried that the exit would not be affected, so he could only follow Meng Zitao out of the palace.
Outside the palace, Mencius contacted the army, and just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the army told him bad news.
There was a sudden explosion at the entrance of the underground just now, the explosion was very powerful, the camp was affected because of its proximity to the entrance, five people died for various reasons, and half of the remaining people were injured, he and Professor Qi were both injured.
Hearing this bad news, Meng Zitao was stunned for a while, he originally thought that there could be no more casualties, for this reason, he didn't even plan to bring people over, but he didn't expect that "people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven", and there would be an explosion at the entrance, which caught him off guard.
"Zhu Zhongshi, what's going on!" Meng Zitao couldn't wait to strangle Zhu Zhongshi to death.
Zhu Zhongshi was also stunned, and after listening to Meng Zitao's words, he shook his head again and again and said: "Impossible, the bomb at the entrance was set by me, how could it have exploded without my order!"
"But it just exploded!" said Mencius, furious.
Zhu Zhongshi said: "What good will it do me to do this, and I can't get out of there." ”
Meng Zitao calmed down, after this explosion, it was difficult for everyone to go out for a while, and it was not good for anyone, so who wanted to be bad for them?
Considering that there were a large number of wounded, Meng Zitao put this question aside for a while, and then led people to run in the direction where the army and others were.
Meng Zitao was very fast, even in the forest, it didn't affect him much, and soon, he saw Dajun and others.
At this moment, the army and the others were all discouraged, and everyone's faces were fading and dazed, and they had been hit too hard.
"Who was the most seriously injured?" Mencius asked anxiously to the army.
Dajun said: "Xiao Qian was the most seriously injured, he was unlucky, he was hit on the head by a stone, and he is still in a coma, as for the others, they are all some skin wounds. ”
"I'll take a look!"
Meng Zitao went to check the injury for the small money that Dajun said, and soon found that there should be a bleeding spot in his brain, which was very dangerous.
Meng Zitao didn't say a word, took out the liquid prepared by the spiritual liquid and gave it to him, and then started to treat, after a busy time, Xiao Qian's state was stable.
Next, Meng Zitao checked everyone, and it was indeed skin injuries, and it was not very troublesome, but in order to let them move as soon as possible, he used spiritual fluid.
After dealing with everyone's injuries, Meng Zitao continued to investigate the explosion just now.
Everyone unanimously said that the explosion did not have any warning, it happened suddenly, because of this, everyone did not have time to react, two people who were preparing food bore the brunt, and then two people near the entrance were swept out by the blast wave of the explosion more than ten meters, and the remaining one person was killed by a tree.
Zhu Zhongshi looked at the place of the explosion and said that it should be caused by a double explosion, that is, the first explosion detonated the bomb he planted.
After listening to the cause and effect of the incident, Meng Zitao frowned and thought about who the culprit was, and the first thing he thought of was whether it was made by the people of Xiaoma King and Li Rongfa, but Zhu Zhongshi said that although the organs in the palace were scary, they generally did not worry about their lives, not to mention, he was sure that neither side of the people and horses had placed bombs at the entrance.
Zhu Zhongshi still has to cooperate with him, and Meng Zitao also feels that he is unlikely to do this, so who will be the culprit?
At this time, Meng Zitao suddenly thought of the man in black in the desert before, could it be that he did it?
So, Meng Zitao asked Zhu Zhongshi, do you know the man in black in the desert?
Zhu Zhongshi shook his head: "I don't know about this, and I'm sure the Pony King won't know either, we wish you couldn't find here, how could we bring you here?"
Meng Zitao said, "In other words, there is a fifth party, and what is the purpose of this person?"
Zhu Zhongshi pondered for a moment and said, "It may be the city guard." ”
"City Defenders?"
"Yes, the city defenders are the remnants of the Exquisite Ancient Kingdom, and their mission is to protect this underground space, but as far as I know, there were no descendants a hundred years ago, how could it appear again? If it weren't for the city defenders, I don't know who it was. ”
Meng Zitao was silent for a moment: "Put this problem aside for a while, the most important thing now is how to get out, I saw it just now, the passage is very badly damaged, and it takes a lot of time to dig it up......"
He waited for the rescue from above, but he was worried that the enemy would cause trouble again, so he had to get out of the underground space as soon as possible.
"I remember what you just said was that you can't get out of here, you didn't say you can't go out. Meng Zitao said to Zhu Zhongshi.
Zhu Zhongshi nodded: "I do know about another exit, but will you believe me?"
"We have our own judgment on this, so you can lead the way. Meng Zitao said.
Everyone packed their luggage, the most important thing now is to go out, try not to bring what you can, as long as you have large equipment, you can still come back.
Next, the group walked towards the palace again, and Meng Zitao looked suspicious: "Don't tell me, the other exit is inside the palace." ”
Zhu Zhongshi nodded: "You're right, and you have to go through the secret passage just now." ”
Meng Zitao warned: "I hope you don't lie to me. ”
And they returned to the king's palace and entered into the secret passages.
After walking for about twenty or thirty meters, the front suddenly opened up a little, and the sound of gurgling water came from me.
When I looked closer, I found that there was an additional canal on the left side of the tunnel, and there was a row of small holes above the mouth of the canal, from which the water flowed.
Zhu Zhongshi told Meng Zitao that this aqueduct should have been set up to deal with the fire monkeys, and in addition, the trap in the square before actually led to the underground river, which was also to deal with the fire monkeys.
Everyone continued to walk forward for about ten meters, and suddenly a big waterhole appeared, Zhu Zhongshi was stunned: "How can there be a waterhole here?
Meng Zitao said: "You mean that the environment here has changed?"
Zhu Zhongshi's expression was serious: "Yes, it was originally flat land, but now it has become a waterhole." We're going to go through the waterhole to the other side, and I'm afraid there's danger in the water. ”
Meng Zitao took a flashlight and shone into the waterhole, under the illumination of the light, the water surface was clear and Indian, and some moss could be seen on the four walls, which also meant that this waterhole should have existed for a long time. If Zhu Zhongshi did not deceive people, there was originally a layer of stone bricks here, and it may have been that someone touched the mechanism, and the waterhole surfaced.
Everyone looked carefully for a while, and they didn't see any creatures in the pool, which is normal, there are no fish here, where are the other creatures?
Zhu Zhongshi probably hoped that Meng Zitao would not misunderstand him, so he let his subordinates cross the waterhole first.
Zhu Zhongshi's people went down to the waterhole and cautiously swam to the opposite side, just as he swam to the middle, Meng Zitao suddenly found that there were some more black things in the waterhole, and these things were very fast, like a cat smelling fish, and swam towards the people in the waterhole from all directions.
"Come back quickly!" Zhu Zhongshi also saw the abnormality and hurriedly shouted.
Zhu Zhongshi's men also reacted quickly and swam desperately towards the waterhole, but in the blink of an eye, the things in the water approached him and climbed up to his face.
"Ah!" the man in the water shouted.
"Leave it alone, come up!" Zhu Zhongshi is still sophisticated, knowing that if he still cares about the things in the water at this time, he will often lose his life.
In the end, it was an elite, he gritted his teeth and climbed ashore, but in just a while, his body was already crawling with things in the pool.
"It's a leech! Burn it with fire!" said Meng Zitao.
When encountering leeches in the wild, the best way is not to pull them out by hand, because the leeches have suction cups at the front end, which will be firmly attached to the skin, and if they are forced to pull out, it will cause damage to the skin, and more dangerously, the suction cups may break into the skin. 2k reading web
