Chapter 171: Hesitation in front of the gate
The surrounding movement continued, and the ground became steeper and steeper, and it seemed like it was about to collapse.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Shen Mengting tried her best to keep her body steady. However, this tremor is not necessarily able to stand firm if you want to stand firm.
"Here...... Here......" Qian Hao fell to the ground because of the violent shaking of the ground. But fortunately, he reacted relatively quickly, and the next moment he quickly held the ground with both hands, which only made him squat.
"Sister Mengting!" Jiang Jingwen shouted in fear.
"Jingwen, don't be afraid, there is a ......" Before the words could be spoken, Shen Mengting was almost shaken and knocked to the ground.
What the hell is going on here?
It seems that everyone present has such doubts. And if you want to say the answer, then only Zhao Yu knows.
Zhao Yu shuddered with the shaking of the ground, and he couldn't wait to jump off the edge of the cliff, so he didn't have to bear this shaking.
As the ground continued to shake, firedemons and roars were inserted into it. Shen Mengting suddenly felt bad, she forcibly made herself stand firm, and the sword was clenched with both hands.
It's really a bad thing, either you don't come, or you just come together!Shen Mengting stared at the place where the Yan Demon was about to appear.
Because of the sudden shaking, Uzturk and Kapil's escape was also affected. The two Assassins were constantly maintaining physical stability, but the results were not ideal.
"Captain!" Kapil anxiously tugged at Ozturk's arm.
But unexpectedly, Ozturk shook it off, "What are you doing?
"But ......"
Just as Kapil was about to continue speaking, the Firedemon officially revealed his head. Its body grew taller and taller as it moved forward, knowing that it had risen beyond all of its elevations. The fire demon that emerged from the downhill was constantly expanding its chest, as if it wanted to crush everything in front of it.
"The Flame Demon is here!" Chen Tianhao shouted to the surroundings.
"Let's go! let's go first!" Shen Mengting swung her giant sword, and she was about to turn around and flee.
"But...... But now, how can we run?" Qian Hao was still squatting on the ground, and every time he wanted to stand up, he would squat down again because of the violent shaking.
"It's better to not be able to run than to fight here!" Shen Mengting nodded and shouted.
Zhao Yu fell to the cave wall next to him because of the fierce shaking, because there was an object to rely on, he could be regarded as a lot more stable. No longer shaky, he could barely stand still. But this reluctance is not forever, because the fire demon is already coming.
"This ......" his legs were about to lose weight from shaking.
"Let's go, get out of here quickly!" Shen Mengting beckoned to everyone.
Everyone was about to turn around and run, and they all continued to run uphill in confusion.
"Zhao Yu, why are you still staying, don't you run!" Shen Mengting noticed Zhao Yu, and she was immediately annoyed that Zhao Yu was still leaning against the cave wall in fear.
"But...... But ......" Zhao Yu looked around in fear.
"Run!" Shen Mengting kept waving to him. But as soon as she saw that Zhao Yu was still stunned, she ran over there helplessly, "What are you doing?
"Right...... I'm sorry!"
"Don't be sorry, run!" Shen Mengting ran to Zhao Yu's side, and came up to remember the slap on his shoulder.
Zhao Yu seemed to be emboldened, and he grabbed his staff and was about to run uphill. But at the moment when he just took the step, the cave wall behind him changed.
First there was a jerk, and then a large amount of dust and debris slid off the walls. Then, the walls of the cave shook like the ground. No, it's even more shaky than the ground.
Shen Mengting saw that there was something strange on the cave wall behind Zhao Yu, so she hurriedly pulled him to the side.
"Ah......h
The roar of the fire demon struck again, and it matched the violent shaking of the ground, as if composing a song of doomsday.
Shen Mengting felt that she couldn't delay any longer, she was about to carry Zhao Yu and prepare to escape. But it was then that she noticed something strange about the cave walls. After a large amount of dust and debris came off, many cracks appeared in the walls. These cracks spread everywhere until the walls of the cave collapsed completely.
Seeing this, Shen Mengting quickly hid back, but Zhao Yu was not so lucky. Dust fell on his head and face, making him a little disgraced. And because the dust spewed into his nose rapidly, he sneezed profusely.
"Zhao Yu!"
Zhao Yu heard Shen Mengting shouting at him, but because his nose and mouth were full of dust, he shook his head quite uncomfortably. That wasn't enough, and he raised his staff again, causing a large amount of blue light to flash around him.
"Zhao Yu, be careful!" Shen Mengting patted the top of Zhao Yu's head.
Zhao Yu came out of the tragedy of being poured in by dust. He slowly opened his eyes and kept 'babshing' at his surroundings. When his gaze was close to washing, he quickly rubbed his eyes again.
At this moment, he seemed to notice that the cave wall had changed again.
After a wave of dust fell, an iron-walled object emerged from it.
Zhao Yu was still surprised, only to realize that it was a huge iron door! It turned out that there was a door hidden in the cave wall. And the activation of this door is precisely to touch the switch that was pressed into the wall just now.
The truth has gradually become clear, and Zhao Yu seems to understand everything.
Shen Mengting also noticed this door, and couldn't help but open her mouth wide in astonishment.
"Hey, look!," she shouted to the crowd as they were about to run uphill.
Everyone was stopped by Shen Mengting's shout, and when they turned around and found the door, they all showed shocked expressions.
"This ...... This ......"
The fire demon's body had been completely revealed from the downhill slope, and its two short legs could be clearly seen.
"Ah......h It seems that wherever it goes, there will be a lot of scorched earth.
"It's coming!" Qian Hao instinctively pulled the bowstring, and the light arrow that was quickly revealed in it was naturally aimed at the fire demon.
Shen Mengting looked straight at the iron door that was revealed, and then quickly looked at the perimeter of the door. Suddenly, the door seemed to change from static to sliding. From the midpoint of the door, a crack is visible. The cracks gradually widened, and began to expand in both directions.
This iron gate...... Shen Mengting had a look of surprise on her face.
Everyone else noticed the scene and looked incredulous.
The Fire Demon was very close, its hands still swinging wildly, and every now and then a few flames were thrown off its arms and flew around the crowd.
Zhao Yu only felt that these or the fire were very hot, and he was almost unable to breathe.
"Let's go, go inside the door!" Shen Mengting suddenly gave an order. She began to wave her arms and swing at the open door.
Zhao Yu didn't react at first, but after being pushed on his back, he realized that entering the inside of the door seemed to be the best choice. There's almost only one path here, so it's hard to get rid of the Firedemons. If they can't get rid of it, then they will have to face a terrible monster chasing after them forever.
Zhao Yu was about to take a step, but when he saw that the door was dark, he stopped stupidly.
What's in there?" he swallowed.
"Hey, what are you still in a daze!Come in!" Shen Mengting directly pulled Zhao Yu's arm. Not only that, but she turned back and slammed her face at the rest of the group.
Everyone understood what Shen Mengting meant, and ran towards the gate one after another.
"Let's go!" Before Qian Hao ran, he didn't forget to observe Jiang Jingwen's safety. However, when he saw that Chen Tianhao was also following, he couldn't help but cast a resistant gaze.
Chen Tianhao could naturally detect the strange sight, he looked at Qian Hao, and ran frantically towards the door. Even without using his Swift Walk, he was still faster than a normal Assassin.
"This guy ......," Qian Hao frowned at his back. However, after Jiang Jingwen came running, he quickly put away his resistance, "Are you okay?" he asked Jiang Jingwen gently.
"It's okay!" Jiang Jingwen waved her hand.
"Let's go, then!"
The two of them then ran to the door.
The ground still shook violently, and the shaking also affected the approaching fire demons. As soon as this monster lifts its short legs to walk forward, it will inevitably feel unstable due to standing on one foot. As a result, it moves much slower.
This almost gave the crowd a chance to breathe.
"Let's go!" Shen Mengting observed her teammates.
Chen Tianhao was the first to run into the door, and the assassin didn't even return, and plunged headlong into the darkness of the door.
"This guy really only cares about himself!" Shen Mengting twitched the corners of her mouth disdainfully.
Then, Qian Hao and Jiang Jingwen also rushed over. The two of them only nodded at Shen Mengting until they passed in front of her.
"You should hurry up and leave!" Qian Hao reminded loudly.
"I know that. You don't need to be reminded, you can take Jingwen to a safe place!"
"Got it!" Qian Hao held a longbow in one hand, and stretched out the other to pull Jiang Jingwen's arm.
"Sister Mengting!" Jiang Jingwen reluctantly turned her head.
"Jingwen, you go first! I'll feel it right away!"
Since Shen Mengting said this, Jiang Jingwen also entered the door with Qian Hao.
The surrounding environment is getting worse and worse, the shaking of the ground has not decreased a little, and the cave wall next to it suddenly looks like it is about to collapse.
The sky is about to fall apart here! Shen Mengting came to a conclusion.
In the distance, Ozturk and Kapil were also anxious, hesitating on which way to escape.
"Captain!"
"Kapil!" Ozturk tilted his head at the door that suddenly appeared and opened inexplicably, "and we're going to go through that door too." ”
"Huh, what?" Kapil's face was a little stunned.
"What's the matter? don't you understand what I mean? I said we're going to that door too!" said Ozturk, about to run.
"Ahh
"Of course!" Ozturk gave Kapil an angry look, as if to say: Why do you ask so much?
"But...... But ......"
"What's wrong?" Bendu was about to move, but Kapil's repeated delays caused Ozturk to freeze again, "What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Captain, those human ......"
"Now it's imperative to get rid of that fire demon!" Ozturk thrust his thin sword into the scabbard that was pinned to his waist, "I don't want to live in the constant panic of being hunted by some monster!"
Kapil squinted his eyes slightly, and after he understood the captain's intentions, he didn't say anything more.
The two Assassins ran towards the door together.
"You're going to run here too!" Shen Mengting couldn't help but smile sarcastically when she saw the two assassins coming.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Ozturk snorted disdainfully, "We'll wait until we get inside the door!"
"Yes, okay. I'll wait at any time!" Shen Mengting deliberately gave way.
Two Assassins ran past her until they entered the door.
Now, only Shen Mengting and Zhao Yu were left, and neither of them had any urgent plans to enter the door.
"Zhao Yu! How did you get this door open?"
As soon as Zhao Yu heard Shen Mengting asking a question, he looked at the woman in a panic.
"Don't be nervous, I'm asking you questions!"
"This ...... This ......" Zhao Yu lowered his head. At this time, the fire demon was already very close, and he could intuitively feel the heat on the monster's body.
"Ah......h
"Don't be afraid! we just need to enter the door and be safe!" Shen Mengting pulled the hand that was tightly on Zhao Yu's arm and put it on his shoulder, "But before I can do that, I need to figure out one thing!"
The tone was much calmer than the emotion, and Shen Mengting moved her mouth slightly, "Did you inadvertently trigger this door switch?"
Faced with Shen Mengting's question, Zhao Yu rolled his eyes and thought quickly. After a long time, the answer still flowed out of his mouth, "...... Ahhh......h It's a switch!"
"Really?" Shen Mengting suddenly rolled over her two dark eyes.
One of the Flame Demon's legs came tightly, and it was not enough for Shen Mengting and them to be more than ten meters away.
"That's really the case!" Shen Mengting nodded out of thin air.
"Ah, Miss Shen Mengting...... How...... What's wrong?"
Shen Mengting didn't respond, she looked sharply at the door, "Let's go! Get out of here now!"
"Ahh
"Let's go!" Shen Mengting's own footsteps not only moved, but she also pulled Zhao Yu up and dragged him into the gate.
The fire demon in the rear let out a loud roar, and Zhao Yu was so shocked that he just wanted to cover his ears. He ran to the gate and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
It was dark inside the door, and even when you got to the door, you couldn't see what was going on inside.
"This ......"
"Let's go!" Shen Mengting urged again, her arms slamming into Zhao Yu's back violently.
Helpless, Zhao Yu could only run to the door. At the moment when he plunged into the darkness, he did not forget to look back at the fiery red scene behind him.
The Firedemon had reached the door, its body standing tall and its thighs lifting.
The Fire Demon should have known that they were about to flee into the door, so he quickly bent down. One of its flame arms quickly reached out.
The height of the gate is only about three meters, so the fire demon will definitely not be able to enter. It seemed to be so angry that it was about to reach out and grab Zhao Yu and them.
"Zhao Yu, run, leave it alone!" Shen Mengting next to her urged.
Zhao Yu ran up regardless of thirty-seven or twenty. However, he kept looking back with trepidation, vowing to see what was going on in the rear.
The Firedemon seemed to feel the urge to put its arm into the door, but just as it was about to put its thoughts into action, the ground shook and caused it to fall. It roared loudly, and its body fell forward.
Its fall caused its back to be leaned on.
Zhao Yu took a deep breath suddenly, as he saw the person who was tied to the back of the Flame Demon again. Although because of the distance, he can only see one point. But that person could hit Zhao Yu's mind hard.
"Who the hell are you?" Zhao Yu's mouth gradually lowered.
"Hey, what are you looking at in the back?" Shen Mengting next to her roared angrily.
Zhao Yu was just overdoing it, and he continued to run desperately.
Inside the gate is a long tunnel, which seems to go out of the road and there is nothing inside. Zhao Yu and Shen Mengting ran inward, and as they continued to go deeper, the light source became darker and darker. Before, because the fire demon was at the door, the fire light from its body could make people see the surroundings clearly. But now, Zhao Yu already felt that he was surrounded by darkness.
"Zhao Yu, don't be afraid! Just run forward with your feelings!"
Shen Mengting's reassuring voice came, accompanied by bursts of echoes, and Zhao Yu was relieved.
They continued to run inside, but their speed slowed as the darkness grew. They didn't know what was inside the door, and they couldn't tell what they were going to face. However, they will keep running, because this is the only way for them to go.
If I didn't guess wrong...... Shen Mengting clenched her fists, although she could barely see the front clearly, her gaze was still sharp.
If I'm not mistaken, there must be something important in this inexplicable door. Shen Mengting imagined. Before entering the gate before, she also specifically asked Zhao Yu how to activate and open this gate.
And Zhao Yu's answer is that a certain switch has been touched, then the facts are obvious. There must be something in the door, otherwise it won't be activated by a switch. Another point is that the gate is hidden in the cave wall, which deepens Shen Mengting's speculation.
Something important was placed inside the door - Shen Mengting was almost sure. This is why before she wants to enter the door, she must find out the reason for something to Zhao Yu. Since Zhao Yu's answer was exactly what Shen Mengting wanted, the answer was very obvious.
But there is another very important question, what is hidden in the door? Shen Mengting rolled her eyes again and thought about it for a while.
If there's anything important in this area, it's probably the treasure. The corners of Shen Mengting's mouth couldn't stop hooking, and she felt that she was getting closer and closer to something important.
Yes, it's a treasure! Basically, the treasure is hidden inside. She finally made an assertion.
