Chapter 444: The Target
The passage is not long, just a distance of about a hundred meters, but at the end, it leads to the left and right ends, standing at the fork at the left and right ends, Qiao Yun and Qing Ling glanced at each other.
"Which way?" Qing Ling asked softly.
"Just choose one direction, if you can't do it, then go in reverse. Qiao Yun took a closer look at the indistinguishable passage on both sides, and then said.
Qing Ling nodded, and the two of them walked at the same time, continuing towards the passage on the left.
As we moved forward, the passage began to gradually become wider, and the top of the passage was no longer as smooth as it had been at the beginning, but cones of different lengths appeared hanging from above, and not only that, but there were also many cone-shaped rocks growing on the ground like bamboo shoots. From time to time, a drop or two of water dripped from the rock above and smashed against the rock below, making a crackling sound that echoed through the empty passage.
This kind of place can actually form a cave, Qiao Yun thought to himself as he walked, it didn't take long for a very regular area with a radius of three meters to appear at the end of the passage, just like the passage when the two of them entered, it was obviously carved by someone.
What made Qiao Yun's eyes flash was that after the two of them came to this circular and regular area, they found that in addition to the passage where the two of them came here, there were passage entrances on the left and right sides and in front of them, as if the four directions of this zone led to different places.
Qiao Yun took out Dichen from the ring and was about to draw towards the entrance of the passage where the two came out, but he was stunned to find that the rock wall at the entrance of the passage was engraved with dozens of marks, large and small, which were obviously left by different people. I glanced at these dozens of marks, and there were graphics and Chinese characters. There are also words that Qiao Yun doesn't recognize.
As the emperor fell, Qiao Yun carved a spirit character of dragon flying and phoenix dancing in the blank space of many marks. Qing Ling looked at this spiritual word. Sticking out his tongue at Qiao Yun, Qiao Yun smiled slightly. Walk forward with a dagger.
Coming to the entrance of the passage in front, Qiao Yun engraved a spirit word again, but next to the spirit word, another mark was engraved.
After putting away the dagger, Qiao Yun turned his head and said to Qing Ling, "Let's go forward." ”
"Well, good. Qing Ling nodded, and followed Qiao Yun into the passage ahead.
Walking more than ten meters, Qiao Yun's footsteps suddenly stopped, Qingling didn't expect Qiao Yun to stop suddenly. couldn't regain momentum for a while, and his body suddenly hit Qiao Yun's back, and he subconsciously hugged Qiao Yun with both hands. Surrounded by Qing Ling, Qiao Yun's heartbeat was undetectable, but he was quickly pressed down, Qing Ling was also slightly red, and hurriedly let go of his hands, and then looked around Qiao Yun and looked ahead.
Because there is no divine consciousness in the passage. So Qing Ling saw the scene in front of him, and saw a white bone in the passage in front of him, the white bone was leaning against the wall of the passage, and the clothes on his body had festered most of the places. Between the third and fourth ribs of the left chest of the white bone, a small white arrow was stuck, and the tip of the sword glowed with a dark green glow.
"You stand here waiting for me. Qiao Yun said to Qing Ling. Then he walked towards the bones.
Not long after Qiao Yun walked out, a white light shot towards Qiao Yun with lightning speed in the oblique thorn. It was a small white arrow. Although this white mang's speed is fast, it is still not enough for Qiao Yun. Qiao Yun just dodged and easily dodged Bai Mang. After the small arrow was dodged by Qiao Yun, it shot directly at the wall, and it was actually nailed to the wall, and the tail of the arrow was still shaking.
And at this moment, three more white rays shot out, shooting towards Qiao Yun from three different directions. Qiao Yun's eyes flashed, he quickly dodged the small arrow above, and with a flip of his right hand, Wei You's sword was held in Qiao Yun's hand, and under the sweep, the small arrows that came from the left and right sides fell to the ground.
At the same time, the five white rays flew out quickly and went straight to Qiao Yun. Qiao Yun snorted coldly, brandished his sword, and slapped down the five small arrows one by one. And the small white arrows were endless, and as Qiao Yun shot down, seven, nine, and eleven kept shooting out, Qiao Yun frowned, and immediately danced the sword impenetrable, protecting all parts of his body.
A stick of incense time passed, and just when Qiao Yun thought that this small arrow was really endless and planned to withdraw from this place, he found that after the last ninety-nine small arrows were shot out with a force of ten thousand, no more small arrows were fired, and the entire passage became quiet. If it weren't for the large number of small white arrows scattered on the walls and the ground, it would be hard to imagine that this place was the target of public criticism before.
Putting away the sword, Qiao Yun glanced at the many small arrows on the ground, and then nodded to Qing Ling. Qing Ling smiled slightly, and stepped forward, she knew that Qiao Yun did not want to let herself be in danger, but whenever Qiao Yun's life was in danger, she would never stand idly by.
Kicking away the small arrows that fell to the ground, Qiao Yun slowly approached the white bone, judging from the clothes on the white bone, Qiao Yun judged that this person should be a pirate, and the number of years of death was too long, and the fabrics and production techniques of the clothes on his body were by no means modern.
I felt the pocket of the clothes that were left of the bones, and among them was a rusty copper pocket watch, the hands of which had stopped turning many years ago. In addition, there is a slightly broken book, Qiao Yun picked up the book, opened it gently, and found that there were a lot of words written on it, but this kind of text was something Qiao Yun had never seen before, and several of the large texts Qiao Yun remembered that he had seen in the marks at the entrance of the passage.
I thought I could find some clues, but I got a book that I couldn't understand, Qiao Yun shook his head, put the book aside, and then picked up a small arrow from the ground, put the tip of the arrow under his nose, and sniffed it gently. Suddenly, a fishy smell came, Qiao Yun felt dizzy for a while, and under the operation of his true qi, he quickly recovered.
I didn't expect this poison to be so domineering! Qiao Yun's eyes froze, and he casually put the small arrow in his hand into the ring, and then put all the hundreds of small arrows on the ground into the ring. These hundreds of small arrows were piled up by Qiao Yun in a corner of the ring space in case of emergency.
Qing Ling also looked at the small book that Qiao Yun put down, and she didn't know the words in it, so she shook her head and put the book back.
Qiao Yun got up and said to Qing Ling: "This place is really not so simple, the poison on the arrow just now is extremely domineering, that is, you and I are stained, even if you don't die, you have to take off a layer of skin, you and I have to be more careful when we go forward." ”
"Hmm. Qing Ling nodded.
The two then continued to walk forward, and at the end of the passage, another regular strip with a radius of three meters appeared in front of the two of them, Qiao Yun and Qing Ling glanced at each other, and they both saw the wry smile in each other's eyes. However, the more this place is like this, the more they arouse the interest of the two, and they want to explore what lies ahead.
The regular area was still connected in four directions, and after Qiao Yun carved the signs at the exit of the passage and the entrance of the passage in front of them, the two of them walked towards the passage in front of them again.
In the middle of the journey, Qiao Yun was in front and Qingling was behind, and the two walked forward slowly, and with what they had encountered in the passage before, the two of them became even more cautious. However, until the two walked out of the passage, they did not encounter any danger, which made the two of them wonder in their hearts.
The exit of the passage was still a regular area leading to four directions, Qiao Yun carved the mark, and the two walked forward again. Walking into the passage, the two still did not find anything wrong, and the doubts in their hearts were even worse, and the end of the passage was already far away.
While walking, Qiao Yun suddenly felt an imperceptible sound under his feet, and his heart was secretly bad, so he hurriedly wanted to jump back, but at this time, the ground where Qiao Yun was in the passage was like a door, suddenly opening and closing downward, revealing the dark pit inside. Qiao Yun's feet failed to borrow the slightest strength, and his body suddenly fell downward.
At the same time, a boulder above Qiao Yun's head suddenly fell and pressed downward.
At this critical moment, a silver light flashed, quickly rolled up on Qiao Yun's waist, and then pulled upwards violently, and in an instant, Qiao Yun was brought up by this force. As soon as the body jumped out of the pit, the boulder behind him smashed into the pit, its size was not different from the size of the pit, and the rumbling sound of falling into the pit continued to come, after the two pillars of incense, Qiao Yun heard a loud bang, obviously the boulder fell to the bottom of the pit.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Qiao Yun smiled gratefully at Qing Ling, who also smiled slightly, and then withdrew the silver whip to his waist. This silver whip Qiao Yun had already returned to her, she originally thought that after being snatched away by Wei You, she would have to wait for the future to get it back, but she didn't expect Qiao Yun to help her get it back when she left that day.
After the boulder landed, the ground on both sides opened and closed like a door slowly rose, and after a while, the ground closed as before, and there was no trace of it. Qiao Yun glanced up at the rock wall above, and the place where the boulder fell was filled with a tightly knit boulder, although he could still see the subtle joints, but if he didn't look closely, it was difficult to notice this subtlety.
"It seems that this place can only be jumped, and if you step on the ground like I just did, it will trigger the mechanism on the ground. Qiao Yun retracted his gaze and spoke, then put his feet on the ground, crossed a distance of several meters, and stood on the ground opposite the deep pit. Sure enough, standing on the ground opposite, there was no abnormal reaction.
After making sure that there was no danger, Qiao Yun nodded to Qing Ling, and Qing Ling jumped down to Qiao Yun's side, and the two then turned around and left the passage.
As they continued to move forward, Qiao Yun and Qing Ling no longer knew how many passages they had passed through, how many times they had entered the regular zone, and there would be crises hidden in each passage, and there were even many white bones in some passages. However, like the third passage that the two walked through, there were few passages without anomalies, and as the two continued to move forward, they only passed through two passages without anomalies, both of which they attributed to the fact that the internal mechanism had been triggered by someone. (To be continued.) )
